Chapter 026: Anecdotes of Neighboring Countries

Three days later.

The good news is that it only took Chen Zhou three days to make four magic items.

The bad news is that he scrapped 3 in one night.

Well, people are not very skilled the first time.

The brain learns, but the hands don't.

This is not the ability to be directly mastered through the "Life Plan", but through the knowledge of self-learning, and naturally it is not directly mastered like specializing in spells.

In addition, the new body is not quite the same as that of a human being, and it is not fully controlled until now, so there are always some small mistakes when it requires a high level of concentration.

And the price of failure is to scrap it directly at a time, not to mention a few dozen gold coins.

"Isn't there a way to make it with a higher margin for error, like building Lego...... Alas, it seems that more attention has to be paid to body coordination. ”

Otherwise, you can't make a living only to this extent.

Then he looked at the only finished product in the past three days, a wooden cup used to hold wine in a tavern.

Originally, the bottom of the cup had runes engraved with special materials, and then he added a layer of base to prevent wear and tear from exposure to air.

This method of engraving is only suitable for spell models that are very simple, and can easily be displayed and transformed with runes for spells with 0-2 rings, and 3 rings is the limit.

It's quick and easy but not perfect, and if the rune is damaged, the material falls off, or something else prevents the engraving from working, it will revert to a mediocre wine glass.

As for now......

"There must be water."

With Chen Zhou's declaration, a cup of pure water slowly gushed out from the bottom of the cup, which was a new application of water formation, and now he was able to freely adjust the amount of water generated.

Of course, along with the decrease in production, there is also the consumption of mana.

After filling the cup with water, he magically fills in the engraving on the bottom of the cup holder.

It didn't take long for the originally clear and pure water to turn into a bubbling black liquid.

It's the happy water that he misses in his heart!

This is the effect of the 1-ring Arcane "Elixir of All Souls" - a potion that changes with the caster's mind to a certain extent.

Analgesic, hallucinogenic and drunk, healthy, awake, sleepy, etc., although they do not treat diseases, toxins or injuries at all, can achieve some "physical and mental health" effects.

It's not so much a secret medicine as a health supplement that keeps people in a good mood.

With the addition of multiple 0 ring level effects, the difficulty of learning and building this spell has increased to 1 ring, but the consumption of mana is still at the level of tricks.

Theoretically, it can even be used in the bath like a pet shower gel, but this has yet to be verified.

Overall...... It's worth it!

I don't know if it's because I succeeded in creating a useful curiosity, or because I finally drank happy water again after nearly three months.

Chen Zhou was in a good mood, and after putting it away, he went to the guild as usual......

……

In contrast, the adventurers of Seagull Pavilion have been in a bit of a slump lately.

Nearly a week has passed since the Night of the Fish-Men, and there is still no news from the Baron's fiancé and the warships of Flowery Harbor, and the ghost of the Fish-Man of Kou Tao has not yet been fully resolved.

Although most of the people who survived that night earned enough gold coins to spend a few months on the loose, they soon discovered—

Most of the prices of everything you need for life have gone up.

After the night of the fish-men, the warship was taken away by those monsters, and the price increase was also a matter of course.

The Baron's attitude, the threat of the Fishmen, and the possible retribution from the Dafis family put civilians and merchants at risk.

The only thing to be thankful for is probably the urgent mission from the Baron posted in the guild:

1. Rescue Alphonse Dafes with a bounty of 1,000 gold coins.

2. Destroy the ship taken by the fish-man and reward 2,000 gold coins.

3. Recapture the ship that was taken by the fishmen, and a bounty of 2,000 gold coins plus canonization as a knight.

Completing any of them means getting rich overnight, and you can wash your hands of money, buy a shop, lie down and make money, and enjoy the rest of your life in peace!

For this reason, many adventurers in Seagull Pavilion have spontaneously launched preliminary investigations, trying to determine where their fiancés and warships were taken respectively, in preparation for the invasion of the fish-man tribe.

Even if it means dabbling in the dangers of nine deaths, and a formal confrontation with the Kou Tao Fishmen.

I think the results should be coming out in the next few days.

Despite being genuinely interested in bounties, Chen Zhou turned down all invitations to team up as always.

He suspected, no, he was sure there was a group of neurotic schemes in there.

It's really incomprehensible, they are also fun gods who like to joke, isn't the Shingar flash gold much more reliable than the Shinvuli Damara?

All in all, it is still secretly developing and involuting in secret.

After completing the daily charging of magic items, Chen Zhou studied in the old seat as usual.

"Did you hear that? The Grand Prince of the Kingdom of Gajiran was assassinated and killed. ”

Towards noon, the whispers of adventurers came from the corner of the guild, discussing the gossip brought by the maritime merchants.

Chen Zhou, who was serious about making up for common sense, pricked up his ears.

He remembered that the kingdom of Gajilan was a neighbor of Carlos, and the two seemed to have some kind of old feud, and there was no shortage of wars in history.

If there is turmoil in Gajlan, it may also have some impact on Carlos......

"Death is death, what does this have to do with us?" The other was unimpressed.

"Don't you know, their second prince is the main battle faction! And ......"

The adventurer's voice was much lower: "And they claim that Carlos did this assassination!" ”

"So what's the matter, I think they and we didn't assassinate the higher-ups on the other side, right?"

"Nonsense, but it's the prince who died this time, do you think they'll use it as an excuse to go to war?"

"Then you don't need to ask, for sure, but isn't it as normal for our two countries to fight as eating and drinking."

……

The two adventurers talked a lot, and finally Chen Zhou felt that Gajilan and Carlos were going to fight tomorrow...... Although it is not impossible.

Adventurers are similar in nature to mercenaries, and if the two countries go to war, the adventurers of the guild may also be recruited.

Although Chen Zhou can make up his mind to ignore these things, the war will inevitably be accompanied by rising prices, and he will have to eat after all.

Maybe you should take the time to do some simple tasks and stock up on more money, food, and supplies......

However, before Chen Zhou, who planned to find some tasks to do after reading the "Varro's Monster Illustrated Book" in his hand, he calmed down again.

The president's clerk, a half-elf known as Stella, approached him.

"Tom, President invites you to have lunch on the third floor."

Chen Zhou frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

The guildmaster, who was said to have stepped into the fourth order with half a foot, rarely talked to a guild member.

I'm afraid it's not to assign myself a job...... But he couldn't refuse to see his "boss"

"Okay, you wait until I'm done with this page."

Chen Zhou thought about it, if the other party really wanted to force himself to do a dangerous task, he would resign on the spot.
