157 My price is expensive

……

The divine mage was invited, and Matthew felt that there was no room for refusal.

But he said hello to Margaret, and took the time to go to the little dark room, and try to visit Isabel first, and at least leave a message for her.

This statement is quite important.

If the relationship between Isabel and Surrell is as close as Margaret said, she will go to meet Surrell without saying hello.

It may cause Isabel to be dissatisfied.

Matthew didn't think Isabel would be quick to get back to herself.

Who knew that it didn't take long for the word to spread.

There was an answer in the communication crystal ball.

Isabel's voice rang in Matthew's ears:

"You can meet any of the Alliance's legendary mages, including Lady Surrell, of course.

What's more, she's still my best friend.

I'm sure she won't be looking for you for no reason.

If she asks you otherwise, be sure to let her have fun, and the opportunity to befriend a mage is rare and should be cherished.

The only thing I need to remind you is that it's best not to come back into debt. ”

Have fun?

Don't go into debt?

Isabel's reply left Matthew confused.

"How can you be in debt!"

"I've got 500,000!"

With Isabel's permission, Matthew returns to the magic classroom to find Margaret.

The latter led Matthew to the teleportation hall of the Crucible House.

The two walked through the green door, which symbolized ultra-teleportation.

A moment later.

Matthew and Margaret appear at a teleportation station.

It's a plaza on a sub-plane, with teleportations on all sides, and there aren't many mages coming and going, except for a few mechanical gnomes who are charging.

"Two people, go to the Crystal Palace."

With a wave of her hand, Margaret threw two golden magic bills into the hands of a mechanical gnome.

The latter nodded.

Respectfully led the two of them to another teleportation portal.

"We need about three minutes to notify the Crystal Palace and get permission from their side before we can teleport."

The mechanical gnome said.

While waiting.

Margaret said to Matthew:

"The cost of teleportation within the alliance is quite expensive, under normal circumstances, I would rather fly by myself than use the teleportation array, but today you can rest assured, the cost of going back and forth is covered by my mentor, and you can experience 100 gold teleportation for free."

Matthew asked:

"Is there anything special about 100 gold at a time?"

Margaret thought for a moment:

"Very fast."

As they spoke, the portal was ready, and the two of them stepped over a strange feeling.

Followed by.

A beautiful scene appeared in front of Matthew.

He found himself above the sky.

Everything you see with the naked eye is floating in the air.

He saw a huge ball of pink light.

At the very center of the sphere of light is a crystalline palace.

It stands tall in the air, shining in the sunlight.

Balls of light float above the sky.

Matthew turned around and saw that the sun seemed to be behind him, but the sunlight it emitted didn't look very hot.

The inside of the ball of light, in addition to the crystal palace, is a beautiful brick fixed in mid-air.

These bricks are colorful and beautiful.

It's like an embellishment in a fairy tale.

Matthew floats in mid-air.

He felt like he had lost his gravity and just needed a point of support.

He can fly far, far away.

"Welcome to the Crystal Palace."

"Try kicking a brick in your back?"

Margaret smiled beside him.

Matthew kicked the green brick behind him.

Followed by.

His body flew out in the other direction like a rocket.

And the brick was disgusted and said:

"Come and see, everyone, there are people here who go to other people's homes and don't take off their shoes, stepping on my face with shoe prints, it's really dirty!"

Matthew's body quickly traveled through the inside of the orb of light.

Above him was the blue sky and the shining sun.

Below, you can't see where the mountains and rivers are, and the clouds that drift by lazily.

It's an amazing feeling.

But after a while, he stopped in a certain space.

Because there were no more bricks in the vicinity for him to borrow.

"What should I do in this situation?"

Matthew asked Margaret beside him loudly.

Margaret smiled, and she threw something for Matthew.

Matthew looked at it, and it was a crumpled, tightly curled thing.

There's also a wristband-like device underneath this thing.

"Wear it on your hand, like me."

As she spoke, she demonstrated herself, attaching a similar device to her wrist.

Followed by.

Margaret raised her arm, straightened her wrist, and aimed it at a brick far, far away.

"Hey~!"

A strange syllable came out of her mouth.

The next second.

A dark shadow shot out of her wrist, and at the end of the shadow hung a magic rope that was constantly stretched.

Burst!

A few seconds later.

Matthew saw with his own eyes that the crumpled mass that flew out turned into a giant claw that clasped tightly to the brick.

"Huh~!"

Margaret uttered another syllable again.

The magic rope at the end of the claw contracted abruptly, sending Margaritra over at lightning speed!

Her body drew a beautiful arc in the air, then flew over the brick and flew towards the Crystal Palace by inertia.

Matthew tried to do so.

As a result, they were quickly dragged far away by their claws.

He almost crashed into a few other bricks along the way!

But after a few attempts.

Matthew mastered the role of the device.

The two of them approached the Crystal Palace at a rapid pace.

Along.

Margaret said:

"This is the Magic Hook Claw, a device made by Lady Suriel herself, inspired by an unpopular elite class on the Eastern Continent, the Knight.

It is said that the standard secondary weapon of this class is a similar hook claw, which is used by knights to fly through walls, traverse complex terrain, quickly approach enemies, or pull enemies from a slightly greater distance in front of them.

I love the feeling of using the Magic Hook.

It's a pity that it's only in this sky of the Crystal Palace that you can use it freely.

It is set by the Alliance to ban weapons. ”

Matthew asked curiously:

"This weapon is so easy to use, why don't you popularize it, but ban it?"

Margaret shrugged:

"Who knows?

It is said that some people in the upper echelons of the alliance feel that this weapon is too much of a threat to ordinary mages, and if it is obtained by other professions, it is very likely to pose an unprecedented threat to mages of the same level.

In order to strangle this possibility in the cradle, they have banned an unknown number of new types of weapons.

But then again, the raw material for the Magic Hook is the "Astral Anemone", which is very expensive, resulting in the high cost of crafting the Magic Hook Claw.

Even if there is no arms ban, it will be difficult to promote. ”

"If you're a fan of this weapon, play it a few more times."

As she spoke, she deliberately bypassed the crystal palace in the center and walked around.

Matthew didn't say anything, just silently followed Margaret.

Magic Hook is really fun, and it has the potential to have an impact on current combat modes.

However, Matthew felt that it was not to the point of being listed as a prohibited weapon.

Once the magic hook is overflowing, the mages will definitely develop a protective hook or a targeted protection spell, just be careful.

Where mages are powerful is wisdom.

And not a specific weapon.

More than ten minutes later.

Margaret finally had enough.

She led Matthew to the ground outside the Crystal Palace, and as soon as his feet stepped on the ground, Matthew felt the presence of gravity again.

He approached the palace quickly.

It didn't take long.

Matthew sensed the anomaly -

This palace has no doors!

In those places where there should have been doors.

Matthew only found neat cracks.

Through the cracks, you can really see the space inside the castle.

But the crack was too narrow.

I'm afraid that only ants can barely crawl past.

"Lean sideways against the wall, aim at the cracks, stand up straight, don't resist."

Margaret took out her staff and tapped it gently at Matthew.

……

"Hint: Your companion Margaret used the spell "Needle" on you.

The width of your body is shortened to 1 centimeter!"

……

That moment.

Matthew seems to have turned into a paper man.

He felt helpless, and all parts of his body writhed like waves, some forward and some backward.

Fortunately, he obeyed Margaret's instructions and leaned against the wall.

The spell has just taken effect.

Parts of his shoulders and head were stuck in the cracks.

"That's how it came in."

Matthew was amazed at the unprecedented experience.

He wriggled in the cracks in the form of a paper man for a while, and then managed to make his way through the thick walls and into the interior of the palace, which was full of crystals.

All the decorations in the palace are so magnificent and beautiful.

The decoration style and ornaments are extremely luxurious.

Matthew was dazzled by the splendor of this place.

After getting started.

Both of them returned to normal.

As they walked through the castle, they met a lot of cute kittens along the way.

I saw that some of the kittens were turning their bellies, some were sleeping, and some were standing on a high point, silently examining them as outsiders.

Walk through two side halls.

Matthew came to a promenade of warm colors.

At this time.

A big brown-colored fat cat jumped off the railing.

"Is it Mr. Matthew?"

The big fat cat asked seriously.

"It's me."

Matthew replied.

"Come with me, Miss Surier is waiting for you in Reception Room Three."

The fat cat said.

Margaret wowed:

"It's actually the third meeting room, it seems that the teacher values you very much, only future big customers, or mages she thinks have great potential, are qualified to meet her in the third meeting room."

"Good luck, Matthew."

The fat cat looked back at her:

"Miss Margaret, you should pay this month's interest, right? You've been in arrears for three months, and it's going to be hard for me to keep going like this. ”

Margaret said miserably:

"Don't do this, Aji, if you force me again, I will have to sell myself."

Aji said politely:

"You said this from last year to now, but you haven't paid much interest so far, does this mean that your body standards do not meet the aesthetics of most human beings?"

Margaret said angrily:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just didn't really want to sell myself. ”

Aji said coldly:

"Look, I knew you weren't going to pay it back at all. I'll report this back to Ms. Surier. ”

Margaret rushed over and took it in her arms:

"Aji, my good Aji, please forgive me a few more months, okay?"

As she spoke, she rubbed her chest against it.

Aji said expressionlessly:

"I'm a she-cat, and honestly, you've got a crush on me, Margaret."

Margaret's shoulders trembled with anger.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, you should know this, even if I don't say anything, Miss Surrell knows everything, since you plan to pay the bill, then be prepared to bear the wrath of Miss Surrell, you are her student, you should know better than me what that means."

"Come on, Margaret, I'll give you something I've heard Lady Soulrell sayβ€”

"If an item doesn't sell for a long time, then you'd better think about whether it's going to be discounted." ”

Say that.

She didn't care about Margaret's face, and led the way.

It didn't take long.

Matthew came to an open door.

The interior of the room with the main door is covered with a warm-colored plaid blanket.

Aggie led Matthew into the reception room and motioned for him to sit on the couch.

Waiting time.

Aggie said to Matthew solemnly:

"Listen, boy, you're going to face the most terrible devil in the world, and she's going to do everything she can to drain you of all your riches and put you in high debt.

Rational consumption is the only way you can get out of it.

Ms. Sourel's dream is to be a creditor to everyone in the Alliance, and everyone has to work for her.

There are already quite a few mages who, like Margaret, have become effectively slaves to her.

I don't want you to repeat the same mistakes. ”

Matthew asked in surprise:

"Your Excellency says that about your master, isn't it right?"

Aggie replied calmly:

"That's what Ms. Soulrell told me, she doesn't like to cheat customers. For her, squeezing you dry after you are mentally prepared is the most fulfilling. ”

Matthew shuddered when he heard this.

He felt like the soft couch under his ass was tingling.

"Is it really that evil?"

"I have nearly half a million of them...... As long as you restrain your desire to consume, you can't go into debt, right? ”

Matthew muttered to himself.

"You've got five minutes to mentally build."

"Goodbye then, mage, I hope that the next time we meet, I won't come to you to collect interest."

Aggie flicked his tail.

Slipped away quickly.

There was a sudden silence in the classroom.

Matthew quietly opened the realm of moderation and cheered himself on.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Surrell showed up just in time.

First meeting.

Matthew wasn't particularly impressed, as Ms. Surier looked to be in her thirties, with a rounded face and a pair of black glasses on the bridge of her nose.

Her hair was black and draped over her shoulders.

She wore a curvy wool bandeau with flesh-colored knitted shawls over her shoulders.

The lower half of her body is a narrow skirt of unknown material, and the short skirt is embellished with a few magic diamonds, which is dazzling just by looking at it.

Just looking at her appearance, Surrell is not a particularly beautiful type, far inferior to Isabel.

But if you look at it a few more times, you will feel that this woman is very charming, every part of her facial features, every detail of her body, seems to be very sophisticated and intriguing.

She has a faint smile on her face, giving people the feeling of a big aunt next door.

The key word is big.

It's a stark contrast to Margaret.

"Margaret's style of dressing is at least seven or eight points imitative of Surreel's."

Matthew thought to himself.

"Matthew, huh? Coffee, milk, or flower tea? ”

Surreel's voice was soft and weak, and it was very different from Isabel's domineering style.

She gives people the impression that she is the kind of young woman who is very talkative.

As long as you're a little harder.

She'll obediently give in to the soft kind.

But Matthew knew that all this was just an illusion, and Surreel was a divine mage alongside Isabel!

He hurriedly saluted respectfully:

"Good morning, Mistress Surier. Well, the coffee is fine, thank you very much. ”

Suriel smiled softly:

"Don't be so nervous, just think of yourself as your home. Coffee, Natasha? ”

In the cabinet next to it, a pitch-black teapot and two cups suddenly flew out.

The teapot spun three times in the air.

Followed by.

A fragrant smell of coffee came out of it, and black juice squirted out of the teapot and fell precisely into the cup.

A moment later.

The cup slowly stopped in front of Matthew.

Matthew hurriedly took it and took a sip.

In a flash.

He just felt refreshed!

……

"Hint: You take Natasha's Power Coffee, and your Focus +2 (temporary).

Duration: 72 hours"

……

"I'm usually busy with work and research, and I haven't paid much attention to young people in recent years, so Ekmond reminded me yesterday that there was an A1 in the league recently, and it happened to be a newcomer supervised by my best friend Isabel, so I specially asked you to come and have a look and talk."

"Speaking of which, Isabel is just your supervising mentor, after the three-year newcomer assessment, you can completely switch to others, how about it, are you interested in coming to the Crystal Palace to work with me?"

Suriel looked at Matthew with a smile.

Her eyes are always watery, and her eyes have a breathtaking power.

Matthew hurriedly left his eyes:

"Well, there is no such plan for the time being, everything has to be up to Teacher Isabel."

Surrell was unimpressed.

She smiled faintly:

"In that case, let's get straight to the point, how much do you know about the enchantment realm?"

Matthew shook his head:

"I'm focused on the necromantic realm, and recently I have learned a little bit of the spells in the transformation realm, and if you enchant it, you don't know anything at all."

Suriel nodded:

"This is normal, the vast majority of mages in this world lack talent in the field of enchantment, which is an important reason why magic items are always scarce.

Early on, mages discovered that through certain methods and combinations, they could infuse mana into other items to achieve magical effects.

This process is known as enchantment.

In the beginning.

The research direction in the field of enchantment is to focus on external objects with the magic that originates from our body.

Items here range from single magic items to scattered ritual arenas.

And after the production and research of magic props developed to the peak.

People suddenly realized that our bodies can also be carriers of enchantments.

On this basis.

We get concepts like spell solidification, spell constancy, and even more spell power.

The development of the field of enchantment is certainly not limited to this.

For the last hundreds of years.

It was combined with alchemy to develop the brilliant art of construction.

In the current Eindor continent construction technique, there are three types.

The first is the "plug-in structure" represented by Cyberdragon.

The Cybron's Mechanics are always keen to craft a variety of armor and constructs.

They sometimes wear plug-in constructs, but in the end, the technician is the technician, and the constructor is the construct, and the two are separate.

This pattern is also known as a split build.

The second is the "implanted construction" represented by the major families of Purgatory.

As the name suggests, this method is to implant the power of the construct into the human body, and further improve the coordination of the human construct by replacing the human body parts.

The flaws of this model are also obvious.

More and more components are being replaced.

Over time, you will fall into self-doubt about whether you are a person or a construct.

The third type, on the other hand, is the infusion of magic on a tiny carrier and implanted under the skin of the human body.

It can exert the power of the enchantment realm like the above two modes, and at the same time has a lot of advantages such as miniaturization of the construction carrier, no impact on the image, no impact on the body, no impact on mental health, and no impact on the strength of spells.

I call this a "Surrell build".

A spell solidified by this means of enchantment.

There is almost no limit to the number of uses per day.

You don't need to chant at all, you just need to activate your mental power and the spell will automatically take effect.

As long as you want.

I can shove all the spells in the world into your body.

What do you want.

I can give it to you. ”

After hearing this, Matthew's body trembled slightly.

However, Surrell didn't give him a chance to think.

Slapped a list of spells directly in front of Matthew.

"My price is expensive, you only have this one chance."

"If you miss it this time and want to ask me to make a move next time, then you will have to pay at least a dragon's nest."

Suriel said softly:

"I heard that you are learning battle spells with Margaret, if you are interested in developing in this area, then there are a few spells that cannot be bypassed, I suggest that you solidify as soon as possible."

said.

Her green fingers tapped at the list of spells.

Several spell names were immediately highlighted.

Even.

There's also the spell curing price at the back of the head.

……
