Volume 1 Chapter 174 The good news brought by the senior brother and the young man¡¯s decision

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For magicians who often lock themselves in laboratories or libraries for ten days and a half, just one week often passes by inadvertently.

    ¡°I have to admit that Crowley, who grew up in a middle-class merchant family when he was young, and who assisted Master Yager in handling chores in the Grand Mage Tower for many years during his apprenticeship, is indeed very efficient once he gets things done.  Without betraying Sebastian's expectations, he soon brought encouraging good news.

    A full eight magic apprentices who have signed relatively free contracts with their respective mentors readily stated that they are willing to serve Sebastian Magician and Crowe as long as a certain amount of meditation crystals can be provided to them stably on time.  The family of two magicians.  Not only that, there were even several magicians who expressed great interest in the meditation crystal displayed by Crowley, and were very willing to conduct some private exchanges of items with Sebastian, and maintained a good long-term friendship.

    This result can indeed be said to be a big surprise, but it did not exceed their expectations.

    In the final analysis, the reason why magicians are usually reluctant to get involved in the household affairs of nobles is because the resources that most nobles can provide are most commonly in the form of precious metals or fief manors that are inimical to their own strength.  The boost that growth can provide is relatively difficult to achieve in direct proportion.

    You should know that although it does cost a lot of gold coins to buy what you need from places like magic item shops and alchemist workshops in the city, those are the truly important, rare, and valuable arcane materials and rare items.  In most cases, sellers hope to get what they want in exchange, rather than exchange for a lot of gold that they don't know where to spend. At the very least, they want to exchange it for a more useful Archmage Tower.  The internal official currency arcane energy level is.

    As for the fiefs that the knights fancy, in the eyes of the magicians who are generally withdrawn and not good at management, they have completely become a burden.  The annual annuity harvested by an ordinary fief is not worth taking the time to copy a few scrolls and sell them to magic item shops, but the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of people require a kind-hearted mage to spend unnecessary time worrying about it.  To use a vivid metaphor, a magician who is bound by a fief is like a horse that is collared.

    Compared with simple rewards such as gold, silver or land, those nobles who are willing to exchange ancestral magic items or ancient unknown scrolls for the services of magicians are often happy to discover that magicians do not seem to be legendary.  That's so inhumane.

    Like this time.  First, Sebastian, who is known as "a genius rarely seen in a hundred years" in the Sorrens Archmage Tower, and Crowley, the leader of the original apprentices with excellent communication skills, jointly called for help.  Secondly, the rewards shown are indeed just right to scratch the itch of many apprentices who are limited by their spiritual power, stuck on the edge of promotion, and eager to break through. Furthermore, considering that although their common mentor Yager is not an archmage, he has great experience in the world.  The status in the mage tower and the affairs he is responsible for are not bad at all.  Even if I don¡¯t necessarily know it.  But it¡¯s just this master-disciple relationship.  This makes some of the concerns that the apprentices may have had disappear.

    "I have made the decision for you and paid half a year's salary in advance." While reporting, Crowley inadvertently glanced at the reaction of the young man sitting opposite him.  Seeing that there was no strange color on the other party's face, he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile and continued, "As you said to me, the higher the strength of those apprentices, the greater their help to us. Several of them have already  I have been stuck at the bottleneck for a long time. The effect of incense is too soft, but it is not conducive to breakthrough. With the help of your crystal, I can't think of anything unexpected. After half a yearat most a year, maybe we will have a few more friends.  A companion who can help.¡±

    "I have no doubts about your judgment, my friend." Sebastian smiled slightly, "Looking forward to that day. Is there anything else?"

    "I visited the collections of Kubita Magicians and the others. Unfortunately, there is nothing particularly noteworthy. I think that instead of using deliberate meditation crystals in exchange, it is better to spend more arcane energy levels and go directly.  It's more cost-effective to buy in the market area. However, I still gave them some crystals as a symbol of friendship." Crowley paused, and seeing Sebastian nodding in agreement, he said, "Wait until they try the crystals themselves.  The effect may change your mind. But you and I don't have to have too many expectations. After all, unlike the apprentices, a magician's loyalty has a much greater influence, and they can't help but think twice before making a move.  What's more, if we really talk about it, you and I are still their descendants. It's not so easy to let go of this face."

    "It doesn't matter, it's a good start after all, isn't it?" He didn't seem too depressed, but the young man comforted Crowley, "As long as there is no clear rejection,? means it is still negotiable.  This time it was just what we provided, which was not attractive enough to them.  "

    "Yes, if it were not specifically used to break through bottlenecks, the effect of daily use of this crystal would not be much better than incense. For magicians, there is indeed a demand, but it is not irreplaceable. After all,  , we all know that magicians can always find some private ways, if necessary." Crowley sighed, "Actually, I also went to see Master Yager, hoping that he could introduce me to some possible  Mentors who would be interested in it. But Master Yager told me simply after trying the meditation crystal that for the magicians of the mentor class, the spiritual power contained in this crystal fragment is somewhat insufficient. Unless it can be provided in large quantities,  Otherwise, it doesn¡¯t mean much, and it will be difficult to impress the instructors with just this thing.¡±

    "Provide in large quantities, what is the specific number?" Sebastian got to the point accurately.

    "According to Instructor Yager, judging from his own situation, you need to use at least one per week to feel the improvement in meditation efficiency. But that kind of subtle improvement is not enough to impress a powerful person.  Mentors. If we plan to rely solely on these crystal fragments to attract mentors, we must provide at least three pieces every week." Crowley shrugged.  He said regretfully, "Unfortunately, we don't have so many crystals. But having said that, even if we really pay such a price, I'm afraid the mentors will not tie themselves to the same boat as us because of this. In the best case scenario  , it¡¯s just an alliance.¡±

    "Three coins a week, that's about 150 coins a year" Sebastian closed his eyes and silently calculated in his heart.

    Contrary to Crowley's judgment, the crystal fragments that the young man took out to help with meditation are indeed not naturally occurring.  But it is not a magical object in the general sense, similar to meditation incense.  In fact.  This crystal is nothing else, but the embodiment of the purest and most primitive spiritual power.  It was a surprise gift that the boy got after an accident while trying out his psychic powers.  Afterwards, after repeated research and attempts, Sebastian was able to stably create this kind of crystal that was condensed by his own spiritual power.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? No matter how powerful Sebastian's spiritual power is.  After all, he is just a mortal.  Need a rest buffer.  Without affecting his own growth, with the boy's current ability, making one every other day is already the limit.

    The number previously informed Crowley.  In fact, it was at a discount, because Sebastian was not originally prepared to risk his life to create this kind of crystal.  Because even if they really insist on making them, the number will be more than 180 pieces a year.  Of course, as the boy grows up, his spiritual power will also increase, and the frequency of production and the intensity of the spiritual power contained in the crystal will naturally increase, but that is a matter for the future.  It is indeed unrealistic for him to take out this amount of crystals in one go in exchange for the kindness of a mentor.

    However, after all, Sebastian is not just an ordinary talented young magician. His soul is engraved with the vast sea of ??knowledge of the Supreme Prince, and he is not limited to the existing arcane methods on the Akaron continent.  In fact, when he was studying meditation crystals before, he had already sorted out several methods for mass production.

    The body of the meditation crystal is condensed by pure jingsh¨¦n power. The jingsh¨¦n power may seem a bit illusory at first, but in the final analysis it is just a manifestation of energy.  As long as the method is appropriate, it can be converted from other types of energy. There is nothing more than an efficiency issue.

    Using complex magic arrays and special devices, whether it is wind, water or sunlight, it can be converted into the required energy types and properly stored for use when needed.  This is almost common knowledge to every household on earth.  In this world where multiple planes coexist, magicians are able to break through the plane barriers and connect small gaps to the four basic elemental planes of earth, water, wind, and fire to draw energy from them.  This is also the basic principle of the elemental energy pool in the Archmage Tower. In fact, as long as the funds allow, it is not a too complicated project. Of course, this is only for experienced magicians.

    " However, if the energy of the four basic elements that make up the world is converted into energy, the loss is incredible. Even if the energy pool is running for the first half of a year, it may not be able to condense a fragment out. The price/performance ratio is really too low.  It is not surprising that as one of the constituent factors of the outer plane, jingsh¨¦n force has the opposite properties from the basic elements of the inner plane.

    Maybe it¡¯s time to give that thing a try!

    Once the decision was made, the young magician cut off all confusion.  So far, all the timeThe spiritual practice he has carried out as a manifester has sharpened his state of mind.

    The next day, a piece of news appeared in various trading venues in Solens City: Magician Crowley, who was officially promoted not long ago, was purchasing a natural crystal at a high price. He required good color and large size. The seller who could satisfy him the most was even  You can choose not to settle with gold coins, but with magic items or spellcasting services.

    The businessmen suddenly became angry.  For this group of people who are not short of money but lack the corresponding status, no matter what kind of magic item it is, even a magic lamp that can only be used for lighting is still a good thing worth showing off.

    You know, although the Archmage Tower will occasionally put out a batch of magic items for auction in exchange for maintenance funds, everyone knows that those items have been screened in advance by the internal staff of the Archmage Tower and various noble families.  , the good things have already been spotted and bought by others.  Only a fool would let go of this opportunity for private transactions.  (To be continued)
