The old mage was in a hurry, to be exact, he knew that his time was running out.

Originally, he believed that even if he didn't advance, he would live to be at least 100 years old, but after fighting with that level 8 troll shaman, the spell damage he received was not completely healed.

The nature of shamanic spells is quite unique, they do not control their magical powers, nor do they obtain energy from the elemental realm, but they communicate with the elemental spirits that are free from the main material realm and gain power. This spell is somewhat similar to the Elementalman's spell, but it also has certain characteristics of this magic that can be tricky for even high-ranking priests to handle. What's more, having just gotten the notes from Chris, Byron didn't want to be ridiculed by his old friends again.

"As long as you do your best to bring out the essence of the red dragon's bloodline, you should be able to directly offset the injury. The old mage thought secretly, but looking at the large cup of blood essence in front of him, he was worried again.

It was the result of a month of hard work between him and Leo. Starting from using another legendary scroll to dispel the permafrost ice coffin, he tried his best to finally peel off the dragon scales that were as hard as iron, and then dismembered the red dragon little by little, obtained the key parts, and smashed them into bloodline essence.

Eventually, the huge red dragon turned into five cups of bloodline essence, and other valuable parts, such as scales, teeth, leather, and bones, were all put away by the old mage and prepared to be dealt with later.

In the past month, Leo has also lived quite a fulfilling life. Under Byron's constant small movements, he has to practice magic enhancement countless times almost every day, and now he has basically mastered it completely, and the success rate is close to 100%. However, according to Byron, this spell-casting technique can only be used for some of the magic that has already been solidified, such as the Mage's Hand and the Tremor Shock, and as for the crusty spell and illusion, it cannot increase the effect at all.

In addition to practicing magic synergies, Leo also needs to learn magic circles and help the old mage with his work, and it plays a considerable role.

With his deposit, Byron didn't have to worry about cutting the wrong part with the knife, nor did he have to worry about calculating the wrong amount of various materials, and he didn't have to worry about the wrong timing of the potions. Leo is like a delicate instrument, always giving the old mage the most important moments with precision and detail. Therefore, the old mage only needs to stabilize the control of the magic power, which also greatly increases the success rate. Byron was really satisfied with this, and even found the feeling of cooperating with his proud assistant back then.

Generally speaking, to make a legendary-level dragon blood essence, you need a whole dragon. However, the old mage knew that he didn't have that ability, so he lowered the standard and only made zuò high-grade bloodline essence, and after a series of calculations, he divided the bloodline essence into five parts. In other words, there are only four chances of failure in the process of activating the activity to obtain blood crystals.

But now, the first three chances have been spent.

The old mage strictly followed the introduction in the notebook, drew the activation magic array, and prepared the activation potion, but the first three times did not achieve any results, and he didn't even know what was wrong. The bloodline essence has not been stimulated at all from beginning to end, let alone the blood crystals.

"What went wrong? Could it be that when we dismembered the red dragon, something important was missing?" the old mage had already begun to complain to each other.

At this moment, Leo was playing with a card in his hand, which was the junior membership card of the Cullen Imperial Magic Council, which had just been mailed in.

The card is made of green crystals and is exquisitely crafted, with Leo's name on the front and the emblem of the Magician on the back, a six-pointed star set in parchment.

Hearing the teacher talking to himself, Leo hurriedly put away the card and said, "It shouldn't be, you and I have checked it repeatedly, and there must be no omission." ”

"Yes, there really shouldn't be anything missing. Byron sighed, "Could it be that the magic array is wrong, or is there something wrong with the potion? No, I've checked these two many times." Damn, why can't it be activated!"

Leo looked at the dark red liquid and guessed, "Could it be that this dragon has been dead for too long and has completely lost its activity?"

The old mage categorically denied: "Impossible, the effect of the eternal frozen ice coffin is completely sealed, and this situation will not occur." ”

"......" Leo is also at a loss.

In Leo's heart, the figures of the old mage and Professor Liu will always overlap inadvertently, which makes him even more determined to help the old mage fulfill his wish, and make up for the regrets of his previous life.

I went through the notes in my mind again, and when I browsed the article on activation, Leo looked at it again and again, and said, "Teacher, could it be that you thought it was a scribbled mark, but actually misunderstood? It is not a random alteration by the author, but has other meanings?"

The old mage flipped through his notes and quickly found the page where Leo had said, "You mean this inverted cone mark?"

Leo nodded and said, "Yes, none of the other beaker icons have this mark, but the activated part does, which is really strange." ”

The old mage stroked his beard, his face confused, "I've had this guess before, but this mark is drawn quite randomly, and I can't tell what it is at all. ”

Leo used his finger to imitate the drawing on the note, "You see, the beaker diagram is very standard, the lines are smooth and precise, and it can be seen that the author of the note has quite excellent drawing skills, and should not make such low-level corrections." ”

The old mage immediately imitated it himself, and muttered, "When you say that, it's really like this. But the whole note is quite complete, why is this the only one that doesn't make any explanation?"

"Uh...... Probably only the author knows. Leo stared at the note in front of him, flipped to the next page casually, read it silently a few times, and always felt that something was wrong, so he unfolded the note to the largest extent, almost tearing it in half, and sure enough, he found something unusual.

"Teacher, look!"

The old mage looked over, and was a little dazed at first, but soon he was surprised: "There seems to be a page in between, which seems to have been torn off?

"Teacher, you have the essence of your blood all year round, and a lot of content can be supplemented by yourself, but this note can be said to introduce no details, and it should never be deliberately missing in this kind of detail. So, this page must have been torn off, and it's probably all about that inverted cone mark!"

"Well, it's really possible. The old mage nodded, and suddenly became manic: "Damn, what kind of bastard the hell, why did you tear that page off!!"

Seeing that the other party was on the verge of an outburst, Leo said in a low voice: "Teacher, you dissipate your anger, let's reorganize it, do you know the author of this note?"

was interrupted by Leo, Byron also reacted, and it was better to find a way to solve the problem first, so he suppressed his anger and replied: "I don't know." Chris: They went through a lot of trading to get this note. ”

Leo scratched his head, and quickly remembered his previous discovery, so he flipped the last page of the notebook and pointed to the broken magic book at the end, "Teacher, have you ever seen this emblem?"

The old mage frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "This should be a mage's personal emblem, but I don't know who it belongs to." After all, almost every mage above level 3 will have their own personal emblem. ”

"The Mage's Emblem...... But why do I have the feeling that I've seen it, I don't know any mages. Leo thought hard, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, clapped his hands, and said, "Ah, teacher, I know!"

"You got it?" Byron's eyes widened.
