Age of Adepts

Chapter 0742 the Development of the Territory

Unknowingly, the once lonely and cold Bingfengling became lively again.

Human races and intelligent life from different regions gather here, and then work hard for a common goal.

The wizard apprentices from the Crimson family, the witch apprentices from the Destiny Witch series, the goblin apprentices selected from the goblin plane, and the wandering apprentices who came here because of their reputation... For them, the senior management of the Crimson family showed rare kindness and fairness. That made them share the sorcery facilities of the White Tower.

A spacious and comfortable living environment, a peaceful and friendly learning atmosphere, a powerful wizard mentor, a systematic and comprehensive library, and a well-equipped witchcraft laboratory...these have become the most attractive magnets, firmly holding apprentices Their hearts have been absorbed here, and they have become the most loyal supporters of the Crimson Clan.

After several months of trial and study, different groups quickly formed among the apprentices. According to their talent potential and progress speed, small circles with strong apprentices as the core also quietly appeared.

And the core figures in these circles are undoubtedly quasi-witch-level apprentices!

Within any family, these quasi-witch-level apprentices belonged to an extremely special group. Although they are still wizard apprentices in essence, they have already begun to enjoy the treatment of new wizards in many aspects.

Even the basic subjects enlightenment of some wizard apprentices are taught by them.

This also allowed them to erect a tall and glorious image in the hearts of most apprentices, and became the idols worshiped by many apprentices and the forerunners they chased after.

And Little Locke, as an outsider, successfully joined the small group she was in under the introduction of the female apprentice Aike, a learning promotion association built around the quasi-witch Pontar.

Pontal, human, 37 years old, quasi-witch, gifted with affinity for dark elements, was born in a small human kingdom in the Vikas area of ​​Sandalinn. According to the customs of the human kingdom, he still seems to have the status of a prince, but he was sent to the wizard tower because he was found to have wizard talent since he was a child.

He was also the first batch of free apprentices who chose to join after the establishment of the Crimson Clan, and his strength can only be regarded as the middle level among the current six quasi-shamans in the White Tower. But by virtue of being able to summon a powerful shadow assassin, he also belongs to the type that other quasi-witches are least willing to provoke.

Before becoming a full-fledged wizard, quasi-wizards often lack strong defensive witchcraft. Therefore, in the face of a shadow assassin who comes and goes without a trace, no opponent wants to taste its sinister and sharp shadow dagger.

Originally, Little Locke was not qualified to join this learning organization with the strength of the junior apprentice level, but because of Aike's recommendation and his own strange identity as a goblin mechanic, it still aroused the interest of that Pontal and accepted him. to the side.

After two months of study, in addition to mastering basic meditation techniques, Little Locke also accidentally awakened the talent of a goblin mechanic. This gave him a strange ability similar to the power of blood, which can maximize the combat effectiveness of precision magic equipment.

It's a pity that he came to the wizarding world empty-handed, and he didn't have a powerful metal magic machine for him to control. Moreover, with the many mechanical components and magic parts in the metal magic tool, it is really impossible for Little Locke's weak mental power to support such a large number of subtle operations.

Therefore, in desperation, Little Locke could only learn some knowledge about magical transformation at his own expense, and built an eyeball fighter with the cheapest metal materials.

It is said to be an eyeball fighter, but in fact it is just a crude metal ball that cannot be simpler.

It is only the size of a human head, and it propels itself to move freely in the air by ejecting high-pressure air from the tiny nozzle holes all over its body. In order to reduce the weight to the greatest extent, the inside of the metal ball has been completely hollowed out, and a series of wind-type witch arrays are engraved on it.

The most direct consequence of doing so is that the physical defense of the metal ball has dropped sharply, but in exchange for a flexible and agile flying speed.

The only attack method of this eyeball fighter is a ruby ​​fragment embedded in a metal groove. Using the free element energy absorbed by the energy-gathering witch array, the eyeball fighter can stimulate scorching rays with an energy intensity of 11 degrees through the ruby ​​fragments.

Since the fire element impregnated in the ruby ​​fragments is not pure enough, this is already the maximum attack strength that Little Locke can achieve after desperately improving. If you want to increase the attack power of the scorching ray, you can only replace the ruby ​​fragment with a higher-level cracked ruby.

But the price of a ruby ​​fragment is only 3 magic crystals, while the price of a split ruby ​​is as high as 20 magic crystals. The huge price difference here made the cash-strapped Little Locke only choose the cheapest and easiest-to-obtain materials.

With the magic power of ruby ​​fragments, it can only maintain the attack frequency of 1 attack every 5 seconds. Once this frequency is exceeded, there is a great chance to burn the witch array and the precious ruby ​​fragment in the eyeball fighter.

But even so, an assistant who didn't need to control too much magic equipment made Little Locke quickly become one of the strongest "people" among the junior apprentices. After all, with the strength of a junior apprentice, being able to inspire an apprentice-level witchcraft with an attack strength of 15 degrees in 5-7 seconds is considered very good.

Other junior apprentices who want to fight Little Locke need to be on guard against a flexible metal monster that flies around in the sky and shoots a red ray from time to time. With two against one, there are really not many rookies who can defeat Little Locke!

In order to train the practical ability of the wizard apprentices, almost every week, the White Tower will organize some wizard apprentices to go deep into the black forest for hundreds of miles to hunt some apprentice-level beasts or monsters. Of course, every time the White Tower takes action, an official wizard will be sent to lead the team. After bringing the apprentice team to a suitable area, let them split up.

It has to be said that the management of the White Tower of the Crimson Clan is very comprehensive in considering the training of apprentices.

If the apprentice team encounters danger in the jungle, they can ask for help from the wizard leading the team nearby. But in this way, all the gains of the team will belong to the wizard who leads the team. Therefore, apprentices prefer to gather around a certain quasi-shaman apprentice, in order to obtain some extra protection in times of danger.

After all, with the strength of a quasi-shaman apprentice, it is still possible to cast a level 1 witchcraft step by step!

This is especially important in the fringe regions of the Black Forest. Although a quasi-shaman who has mastered level 1 sorcery is not said to be invincible, most areas are already safe for him.

This is also the best way for them to deeply reflect their own value!

As for the captures of the apprentices in the Black Forest, all belong to individuals or their small teams. When they returned to the White Tower, they could sell these captives to the business firm under the family name, or auction them off by themselves. In this way, the gold coins and magic crystals earned are enough to support them to continue to survive in the White Tower.

The commercial firms or auction houses under the White Tower sorted the prey into grades, among which apprentice-level beasts and monsters were sent directly to the processing factory, where the hired goblins processed them into tightly sealed metal cans. It is then bound into boxes and shipped to the middle of the continent.

There, a "Happy Gold Coin" firm established by Goblin Kirby will be responsible for selling them to every human noble manor and city.

Of course, the flesh and blood of ordinary beasts cannot arouse the interest of human nobles, but the flesh and fur of low-level monsters are still very sought-after.

After all, everyone knows that these monsters are imbued with more or less elemental energy. If the daily diet can be taken continuously for a long time, it can obviously enhance the basic quality and energy fitness of the human body.

In other words, wizards may not notice this small change, but it has huge and far-reaching significance to those human nobles who have enjoyed all the glory and wealth and just want to live a few more years!

If these nobles could ingest the flesh and blood of monsters for many years, strengthening their physique would be second to none, and more importantly, it would make their offspring more likely to have wizard talents.

And this is what they value most!

Of course, this little change in odds may be just a small change in the third or fourth digit after the decimal point. But under Goblin Kirby's terrifying magic mouth that can bring the dead back to life, it has been exaggerated into the flesh and blood of a beast that changed the fate of their family ever since.

After a strong operation and sales, Goblin Kirby successfully set off a new trend in the central part of Sandalin, sticking to a healthy diet and using monster flesh and blood to improve their physical fitness. And this trend cannot be replaced by other families!

Although every wizard family has its own hunting team, they are constantly hunting monsters and looking for rare magic plants to provide to wizards. They naturally also have the advantage of competing with Goblin Kirby. However, for one thing, the number they hunted was still too small to meet the appetite of the huge human noble group. Secondly, the preservation of the flesh and blood of monsters is also extremely difficult, requiring the use of many rare materials.

If it is used to provide to wizards, wizards who spend money like water will naturally not be stingy on the price, which can make the hunting team earn a lot of money. But the same price is offered to middle and low-level human aristocrats, even if they are rich, they can't afford such a luxurious monster feast.

The goblin engineers under the White Tower specially built a metal airtight lunch box for this purpose, but it solved this problem perfectly and cheaply. This also makes it possible to sell the flesh and blood of high-energy monsters at a low price!

It is precisely by means of this method that the White Tower has also successfully found a way for those coming to the territory to survive. They only need to learn the simple operation of the metal factory assembly line under the training of goblin technicians, and a qualified worker will be born!
