Chapter 278: The Oil of Yao
In the province of Lahti, in the sewers of the Frozen Wind Collar, lies a mirror alone.
It looks like a lady's makeup mirror.
It's fan-like shape...... At the lower end of it is a slender wooden grip that is much cleaner than the part near the mirror. It seems that it was supposed to be stuck somewhere, but it was taken out separately.
But if someone comes here, I'm afraid they will be the first to notice the violation.
- because in this filthy sewer, only the mirror is as clean as new.
Without warning, light burst out of the mirror.
It's like a curled fishing net slowly unfurling from underwater.
A brilliant golden, intertwined light burst out of the mirror and cast onto the ritual array that had already been carved directly above.
After the brilliant golden light swept over the ritual array above according to a certain rhythm, the ritual array was activated in order—extremely brilliant rainbow light was projected on the ground from top to bottom, and the blooming light instantly completely submerged the sewers.
The next moment, seven people emerged from the light.
They arrived at the Frozen Wind Collar with great precision.
It is also the location of the only county in the North, Count Yuri Frostwind.
If you want to say the only drawback......
That is, they did not arrive at the "safe house", but got into the sewers.
At that time, when he heard him say that he was going to drill the sewer, Zhuoya almost hammered him - how could anyone take the Grand Duke to drill the sewer?
Of course, Jacob was still justified.
He wasn't a native after all, and it was hard to find a safe house that he could absolutely trust. If you put it in a place where no one is there, you may be discovered, and if you put it in someone's house, you may be betrayed.
That is, the sewer is the safest.
It's spacious, it's sturdy, it's accessible, and no one gets in.
It's just a little bit of a taste. And this smell can also be removed with other rituals.
In the end, it was Annan who stopped Zoya and decided that they would dive through the sewers......
Decent or something, you don't need it.
Practicality is important......
“…… In order to transcend the realm and trigger the teleportation ritual, it is necessary to perform the 'Light Compensation', which is commonly known as the 'Light Supplement', and add a large amount of mantra light to the ritual. Something like 'Dawn' or 'Sunset' is fine, but if you need to teleport out of bounds, it is almost impossible to collect the light you need during a 'sunrise' or 'sunset'.
"And on this basis, the more objects are transmitted, the heavier the weight, and the larger the system, the more 'extra light' is needed."
Jacob's voice gradually became clear in the light: "Considering the weight and preservation, it is impossible for me to carry a large amount of [ice cubes sealed with light] with me. Then I can only use the [Shining Oil], which is relatively more expensive and not easy to keep...... Your Majesty, you may have heard that it is one of the important ingredients of the supreme masterpiece of the Transformation School, [Universal Solvent Azot]. ”
He carefully detained the utensils, looking very distressed.
- The vessel was about the size of an old godmother's lid, and it was flat.
It's like a small round box with cool oil.
In order to transport the seven of them directly from the southwestern corner of Wrangel Province to the northeast of Wrangel Province in Lahti Province, it had just used up about a third of its weight.
Annan didn't know whether it was more or less.
He looked at Jacob, who was full of distress, and could only smile helplessly: "I will reimburse you later, don't worry." ”
“…… Not necessarily. I have heard that Your Excellency Salvatore is a friend of Your Majesty, so why don't you sell him this box of Oil. He must have used it when he made Azot. ”
Jacob made a strange request.
But if you think about it, it's quite understandable.
After all, for ritual masters, many things can be found to be substituted for the lower position, and even for the subordinate substitution...... It's like a garbage guy in a picture, a few hundred dollars can make a computer.
If they spend a lot of budget to buy a top-of-the-line graphics card, they probably won't want to - because the motherboard won't work at all, and the power supply won't match.
The same is true for ceremonists. After using the strong mantra material of [Shine Oil], other materials cannot take the low-profile route. While ritual effects are enhanced, they usually don't need to be particularly good...... After all, you only need to use it once.
After all, they are not believers in the rituals of their own gods. Rather, it is a ritual master who steals the power of the gods...... This is also known as "cloud believers".
True believers may choose some good offerings because of their faith, but the ceremonial master will definitely consider the cost performance. This kind of high-grade material is in his hand, and he is reluctant to use it, maybe it will continue to expire.
It's better to sell it to a transformation wizard.
"Azot" is the highest level of pre-conversion agent for transforming wizards, and can also be used to replace any material for high-level transformation - that is, alchemy. It can be said to be a versatile synthetic material.
At least until you reach the Silver level of transformation spells, you will start using Azot. It is only when it reaches the golden level that there will be a rigid demand for Azote.
However, Salvatore also seems to be about to inherit Zediheta.
When he became the master of the tower, it would be a real golden rank at that time. It's better to buy it and give it to Salvatore as a gift for a reunion after a long absence. Cherish and use, seniors should like it.
…… Speaking of which.
When you see Kaphne again, what should you give her......
Annan thought for a moment, and then skipped the question for a moment.
"When you get back, you can sell the rest to me, and I'll buy it at the market price." Any other high-level spell materials that you are reluctant to use can also be sold to me. ”
Annan nodded and said in a deep voice: "If you need to buy mantra materials or occult books, you can also go through the official purchase channels. I'll ask Zoya to prepare you for the status of a Winter Hand Reserve. ”
For Jacob's sake, it's useful......
This kind of small problem that can be solved with one sentence, let's help him deal with it.
He is currently the best at teleportation rituals among the ritualists Annan knows. He is also said to be good at destroying enchantments and drilling nightmares...... These are all abilities that can be used occasionally.
- Knowing that I was short of people, I stuffed some people here.
Uncle Crow, thank you.
To be on the safe side, Annan still commanded in a low voice.
"Zoya, scan it."
"Hmm."
Zhuo Ya answered, and a dim yellow, illusory reflection flashed in her pupils. Then she folded her hands in front of her, and the moment the tips of her fingers came together to form a pyramid.
The blue halo once again spread like water waves.
Therefore, this time there was no chanting of [Urgent Intoxication], so the range was much smaller, with a radius of only three hundred meters.
However, this time she turned on the instant spell [Prophetic Horizon]. In the next few minutes, when she closes her eyes, she can see the scene five seconds later - with the channeling spell [Wide Area Perception], she can ensure that she will not be raided.
And not long after Zhuo Ya started wide-area perception, she sighed lightly.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and her expression became serious:
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty...... We need to move immediately. ”
As her words fell, a crimson glow swept past them—and it deflected away on its own as it passed through Annan.
And Zhuoya's words were finished:
“…… We've been scanned by other prophetic wizards. ”
