    Chapter 132: Which is more important, worldly influence or personal power?

    If life is a game, then for the young magician, the conflict thousands of miles away is undoubtedly just an insignificant branch task.  Compared with those magicians who spend their entire lives exploring the creation of magic items, from the moment Sebastian gained his own consciousness, the rich knowledge accumulated by the Supreme Prince over hundreds of years was already  It was deeply engraved in his mind.  He was not standing on the shoulders of those who came before him, but on the top of the skyscraper that the prince built for him.

    Sebastian¡¯s behavior is not much different from other new magicians, but this is just a disguise for him to follow the Romans.  Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.  Although formal magicians who can use third-level spells can be said to be at the upper level of the social pyramid, Sebastian knows very well that there are still many people in this world who can easily obliterate him.  He firmly believes that one day in the future, he will be able to lift the throne to the highest point in the world, but for now, what he needs is time to grow.  He must be careful to ensure that he does not die prematurely.

    A series of recent events gave the young magician an inexplicable sense of crisis. He reluctantly gave up his previous decision and prepared to create some practical magic props for self-defense.  The limited number of spell slots every day cannot bring him enough security, even if he has far superior mental power and magic power at the same level.  Although permanently enchanting items will cause the magician to be temporarily weak, when a crisis suddenly strikes in the future, Sebastian may have a greater chance of surviving and congratulating himself on his wise principles.

    According to the contract with Sebastian, the adventure team named Golden Scale only spent one day making the necessary preparations and then hurriedly embarked on the journey to Taxaros.  Anyone with experience knows that conflicts will only become more serious over time and will not be resolved without reason.  Being able to arrive a day earlier will naturally give you an extra day to figure out a way to resolve the matter.  Taxaros is the direct territory of Earl Kaliman. It is located in a remote place and there will definitely not be much safety along the way.  If we make more careful calculations, the Golden Balance team can arrive in half a month, which is considered a quick trip.

    On the other hand, the day after the Golden Scale team left Saurens City, Isabel also led her men back to Fubo Castle.  Perhaps it was influenced by the true dragon bloodline in her body. At least in Sebastian's view, the girl's desire for money and power seemed to be far greater than the art of magic, although she herself clearly understood that the latter proved to be the pursuit of the former.  However, due to the emergence of brandy, a novel alcoholic business, Isabel chose to focus on the development of the territory for the time being.  Fortunately, the girl is a warlock, so she doesn't need to study hard.  According to the records in the Archmage Tower books, sometimes the promotion of well-known warlocks in history often just came from a lucky realization, which was highly uncontrollable.  In other words, it is purely about luck.

    The young man who saw through Isabel¡¯s thoughts did not specifically ask to stay, as if the two of them had a simple relationship between monarch and minister, rather than an ambiguous young man and woman.  Of course, maybe it's just because he feels that he hasn't met the conditions set by the girl at the beginning, maybe it's because of something else, who knows?

    Watching the long motorcade leave and slowly disappear on the horizon, the young man who suddenly felt a little sad sighed softly, got on the carriage and returned to the mansion.

    Money is a weapon to save the world.  The development of territory, the formation of private soldiers, the maintenance of ordnance, and the purchase of magic materials all consume a lot of shiny gold coins.  Isabel is an ambitious woman, and she is currently moving forward step by step on the path of her choice.

    Counting the time, the wine puree at the other end of the territory should be almost ready under the supervision of the wine brewer in the village.  You only need to simply distill the puree twice, then seal it in an oak barrel and brew it for a period of time, and you will be able to get that wonderful brandy that is like liquid gold.

    Not only did she purchase a complete set of alchemical distillation equipment for purification, Isabel also purchased a large number of various brands of alcohol for blending at Malone's reminder.  For real wine, every step of the brewing process is an indispensable and important step.  Even if the raw materials are the same and the processes are unified, it is impossible for different wineries to brew wine with exactly the same taste.  Only by using different basic wines to achieve a unified taste, remove impurities, and harmonize the aroma can it be sold in the market.

    Malone has been quietly studying the wine invented by his family for a long time and spent a lot of savings to find the most suitable blending ratio.  And this also ensures that this novel brandy will not be quickly surpassed by the swarm of imitators.Best measures.

    During the week she stayed in Sorens City, Isabel was not idle except for participating in the magician promotion ceremony of her young vassal. She visited several business partners of Baron Wambourne one by one, and extremely  We try our best to open up the main business links for new wine tastings that are about to appear in the world.  Although the girl's age has brought her some troubles, her other identity as a noble daughter - the intimidating power of a magician greatly makes up for this shortcoming.

    Although it may sound a little too realistic, as long as they have the opportunity to make friends with a magician, especially those promising young people, most businessmen will be happy to give up a small part of their vested interests in the contract.  Only when you give up can you gain something, but not everyone understands this truth.

    The temperature difference between the four seasons in the Kingdom of Delaware is quite large, making it difficult to store ordinary wine for too long.  Especially for those high-quality products, even if there is an underground ice cellar to keep them fresh, the temperature inside the ice cellar cannot be adjusted freely, and it is easy to deteriorate.  Generally speaking, the best wines on the market are usually one or two years old.  If the time is longer, it is likely to become sour and go bad, and it will be wasted.

    Sebastian¡¯s memory actually contains a spell that can freely adjust the temperature within a certain range, which is quite suitable for wine storage.  But unfortunately, the young magician's current ability is not enough to stabilize this second-level spell on a large scale.  For a large-scale wine storage room, if he had to maintain it personally, he would have to use it every other week, and it would have to be used multiple times each time to cover the entire space.

    After a simple calculation, Sebastian discovered to his disappointment that if he did that, it would be more cost-effective for him to put in a little more effort to copy all these spell slots into scrolls and sell them, even if they were directly converted into energy levels.  That¡¯s fine, why bother traveling between places?  Therefore, he curled his lips indifferently, and the young magician did not bring up the matter at all, so as not to let Isabel find out and do hard work.

    The vast majority of descendants of the Dragon Clan have a very obvious characteristic, that is, a fanatical desire to collect and possess shiny objects, especially gold coins and jewelry. The more pure the bloodline, the more so.  Almost every powerful real dragon's residence has a huge bed pushed together with thousands of coins for the owner to lie down and rest lazily.  Even those young dragons with insufficient abilities and shyness will try their best to find a way, even if they exchange gold coins for relatively cheap copper coins, they must make a dragon bed of their own.

    Although greedy for money, not every real dragon has good skills in jewelry appreciation.  Ruby, moonstone, obsidian, jade these small stones with different prices, which can even differ dozens of times from each other, are actually not that big of a difference to most dragons.  According to the common sense of the dragon clan, as long as it looks good and can shine, it is a good gemstone.  Before glass was as widely used as it is now, many ancient dragon treasures contained a lot of glass, which was carbonized into ash over time, leaving treasure hunters dumbfounded.

    Among some third-rate legendary novels circulated in taverns, there are many stories about a certain bard who was extremely lucky. Relying on his good tongue and words alone, he successfully used a large amount of cheap glass from the dragon.  The beads were exchanged for priceless gems.  Whenever this kind of plot appears, the audience will sigh and wish that the protagonist in the novel is themselves.  But these ignorant guys don't know that if they really dare to do this, they are afraid that the only outcome will be to be swallowed directly by the dragon.

    The reason why true dragons are recognized as the most powerful single creatures in the main material plane is not only physically powerful, but also because they are natural warlocks and priests, able to cast arcane and divine spells at the same time.  It is not difficult for magic to detect the opponent's psychological thoughts.  If you want to fool a dragon just by talking, the difficulty is probably not much different from slaying the dragon directly.

    Even kind-hearted metal dragons are undoubtedly extremely proud and cannot stand this kind of malicious deception from humans.  Those who firmly believe that metal dragons never kill people are mostly pedantic and unsophisticated old scholars.  In fact, even the golden dragon, which is recognized as the most powerful and noble among metal dragons, will still slap you to death with one claw if it is completely pissed off.  And if you want to provoke a golden dragon, coveting its private property is undoubtedly one of the fastest ways.

    Unlike Isabel's overflowing sense of pride and satisfaction, for Sebastian, who is obsessed with pursuing powerful power, although money is indeed a good thing, it can only be used in a way that actually improves his own strength.  meaningful.  And if you want to satisfy this point, put aside the complicated wish-making spells and strengthening magic rituals, and buy a handy magic weapon.?Items are undoubtedly the most direct method.  Although he did not originally intend to waste his original power to create magic items, the young magician did not hesitate at all about what to choose between his future development and his immediate safety.  Yes, the future is important, but if there is no present, there will be no chance to welcome the future, right?

    Inheriting some of the fighting habits of the Supreme Prince, Sebastian was accustomed to leaving some of his daily spell slots empty, making temporary preparations to deal with sudden crises; and leaving those that were not commonly used, but under certain special circumstances,  It is also one of the good habits of a mage to copy effective spells into scrolls and use them without wasting limited spell slots to prepare them.  In addition, if some of the metamagic skills he is proficient in are simply added to the process of preparing spells, it will inevitably make the spell structure more complex and require higher spell slots to be prepared.  But if these techniques are made into a super magic wand in the form of a chain magic circle, you can temporarily decide whether an increase is needed.  Although Sebastian can only create some secondary metamagic wands with limited use at this stage, and can only apply these techniques to spells no higher than level three, it is enough for the moment.  .
