656 Revealing Abilities
Beta slept in her bed, and I have to say that Nacutt was very generous. The house Beta stayed in wasn't too big, but it was more than enough for one person. And the quality of life here is quite high, whether it is furniture, tableware, or bedding, everything is boutique.
Even fresh fruit is placed on the table in the center of the room.
Beta eats fruit and reclines on the bed. Of course, he sensed Nadette's wariness of himself, and Heidi's scrutiny of himself. In his opinion, this is a normal thing, and if a new person wants to fully integrate into another group, he must go through all kinds of tests and great dedication.
As he ate the fruit, he thought about his future course of action and what he should pay attention to. When he had finished eating, he got up and began to decorate the house. Take out the magic materials from the mansion magic space, and start making simple magic circles and magic scrolls.
From time to time, the glow of magic flickered in the room.
It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door. Beta opened the door and saw that it was Heidi standing outside the door.
She had a strange expression on her face: "What are you doing in the room, we feel extremely unstable magic fluctuations. ”
"Oh, I'm experimenting with magic." Beta opened the door to let Heidi see the full picture of her room: "There may be some small magic echoes, but it is really noise for you, sorry." I'll lay down the magic enchantment in a moment so that it doesn't affect you. ”
"You work so hard, no wonder you have this strength at a young age." Heidi looked at the magic lines in the room that were still shining with magical luster, and she laughed dryly: "I heard that it is easy for magicians to have accidents when they do experiments, can you be considerate of us?" ”
In this world, it is very common for magicians to do experiments and blow up the surroundings, and the most exaggerated one is when a certain magic master accidentally opened the portal to the underworld when he was doing a magic experiment, not only the dark elements invaded the main world in large numbers, but even the undead creatures in the underworld ran out, thousands of miles away.
Of course, this is an exaggeration, but a bunch of undead creatures occupied a plain of about 500 square kilometers for more than ten days.
But this can still show that once a magician fails a magic experiment, it will generally cause great disasters.
Heidi is worried, and rightly so.
Beta thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I won't do experiments, just make some ordinary magic scrolls." ”
Heidi was going to say that it was better not to do the scroll, but after thinking about it, she swallowed it back into her stomach. After all, Cook has taken a step back, and the two of them are not very acquainted, and if they have to make an inch, they may make the other party unhappy.
"By the way, if you are willing to make some magic scrolls to distribute to everyone, you can ask the city lord for reimbursement of the materials you need. At the same time, you can also get some support. ”
Anyone wants to have a practical magic scroll or two in their hands to defend themselves. Although there was also a spellcaster in the City Lord's Mansion before, Perth. But he wasn't good at making scrolls. At the strong request of the city lord, he had tried, but even the primary magic scroll, his success rate was less than thirty percent, and it was a waste of magic materials.
If this young man is good at making scrolls, it would be a good thing for them.
When Beta heard this, her mind became active.
Beta is rich now...... But sometimes, even if you have money, you can't buy magic materials, because some rare or very practical magic village materials are all not for sale. Just like Beta, he wouldn't just dig up and sell the magic materials under the ground of Workin City now.
The success rate of his making magic scrolls is almost 100%, but he can deliberately press the success down, take the opportunity to black some materials, and most importantly, if he makes more scrolls, the city lord has another reward.
The City of Echoes is a big city, a big city in France. Beta was sure that the king of Hollevon was not as good as Nadette in terms of enjoyment of life. Hacking a batch of magic materials from here shouldn't be a big problem.
If someone else becomes a pope, they will hold their own identity and disdain to do such things. But Beta never had that idea, and his essence was still that player. It is already an instinct for players to take advantage of the 'quest loophole' to get as much benefit as possible from NPCs.
"Can Ms. Heidi help me convey this to the city lord?" Beta smiled slightly, "I have a lot of experience in the production of magic scrolls. ”
Heidi looked at him deeply: "Okay, no problem. ”
Then the two separated, and Beta returned to her room and continued to study the magic pattern, but much quieter.
Heidi went down to the third floor, came to the city lord's study again, and after repeating Beta's words, Nadette was extremely surprised: "Oh, that young man still has this ability? If he hadn't lied, I wouldn't have needed him to propose to me in person, I would have wanted to marry my daughter to him. ”
Heidi laughed, and didn't know what he was laughing at: "City Lord, I brought the words here, and if I disagree, that's your business." ”
After saying that, Heidi turned to leave, but Nadette grabbed her: "Wait, I just have some time, stay here for a while." ”
Heidi smiled: "You're not afraid of being discovered by Otulia?" ”
"She's already known, she just doesn't want to pay attention to us." Nadette pulled Heidi into her arms: "She is a lot more sensible now, she should be able to understand us." ”
Beta waited in her room for almost an hour before Heidi knocked on his door again.
Beta, who has a keen perception, finds that Heidi has changed her clothes and seems to have taken a shower. As a seasoned person, Beta naturally understood what might have happened to her, and he only raised his eyebrows at this, without any particular thoughts.
Behind Heidi, there were six guards, each of whom was carrying a large heavy box.
"This is the magic material that the city lord asked people to send to you, there are some in the city lord's mansion, more or less draw some for you, how many magic scrolls you can make depends on your own ability."
Heidi gestured, and several of the guards put the boxes into the room.
"Don't be too tired, because maybe the mission will start soon."
Heidi smiled kindly, and walked past Beta, bringing a shower of after-bath fragrance.
Beta closed the door, opened the six boxes in turn, and snorted.
"This is only a small part of the magic materials, the country of France is really worthy of a big country, and Echo City is also worthy of being a big city."
That being said, Beta didn't have much surprise in his mind. After all, he has long known that as long as a super-large country develops normally, a small country will never be able to compare.
For example, in the rabbit country on the earth, the basic value of industrial output in 2.4 days is equivalent to the annual GDP of a certain southern monkey country, and the seven-day Spring Festival holiday in the rabbit country, all factories are closed for the holiday, and the basic value of industrial output lost in these seven days is almost equivalent to the annual GDP of the three southern monkey countries.
The contrast between Hollevin and the country of France is almost the same as the comparison between the country of the southern monkey and the country of the rabbit.
The types and quantities of magic materials contained in the six boxes were not the same, Beta took a look, in addition to more than a dozen common magic materials, there were actually several materials that were relatively rare in Holewen, his eyes lit up, and he immediately felt that he had gained a lot this time.
He immediately made a few simple magic scrolls, and then secretly put away a small part of the magic materials, and these disappeared materials were regarded as the loss of his 'production failure'.
In the process, the waiter of the City Lord's Mansion brought him dinner, which was very hearty, not only did the vegetarian food mix properly, but it also tasted good, and there was even a soup.
Beta ate everything in line with the principle of not wasting it. After a while, the waiter knocked on the door and came in and took the dishes away to be washed.
A few more scrolls were made...... These newly made scrolls, Beta deliberately did not do so perfectly, after all, he is now a master-level spellcaster, and the power and effect of the perfectly made scrolls are naturally also master-level. When other people use it, they will feel that something is wrong.
And the imperfect scroll will reduce the power and effect of the magic scroll, as long as it is below the master level, when others use it, they will naturally not feel anything unusual.
At this time, it was already late at night, but looking down from the balcony on the third floor of the City Lord's Mansion, the huge Echo City was still brightly lit, and the envoy lived halfway up the mountain, and the beta could also hear the noise of the city coming from a distance.
Someday, Wojin City will be as bustling as this.
Beta patted the railing of the balcony and was about to rest, when he heard a quick knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was a young man named Robben.
He said with a serious face: "Gather in the hall on the first floor, the mission is about to begin." ”
Beta nodded, went back to the room, wrapped the scroll on the table with the table, and walked out with it.
Robben looked at Beta with some surprise, but didn't say anything, and followed the ligament down the stairs.
Except for the two of them, the others were already in the hall. When they saw Beta, they all looked a little strange.
"Your Excellency Cook, didn't I let you know that we were going to assemble at this time?" Nadette was dressed in black leather armor, and there was a displeased expression on his face: "It's not good that you ignored my orders on your first mission. ”
Beta shrugged helplessly, "The problem is that no one has informed me. ”
Heidi snorted and said embarrassedly, "I forgot." ”
Nadette was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what was going on, he and Heidi were too excited in the morning in the study, staining Heidi's clothes, and after Heidi took a shower, he forgot to inform Beta of the exact time.
Nadette understood what was going on for a moment, coughed lightly, and said, "Okay, let's leave this question aside for now. ”
Beta placed the scroll he was carrying on the table, and everyone looked at it with a little joy on their faces.
The lord of the castle sent Beta magic materials, which many people knew. They were also expecting Beta to surprise them a little, but they didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly.
There are fourteen scrolls on this tabletop, each containing quite strong magical fluctuations.
The names of the spells were written on the scrolls, and Nadette checked them one by one.
"Great Fireball, Light Spirit, Brute Force, Healing Intermediate Injuries, Ranged Attack Defense, ......"
Every time he said the name of a spell, the professionals around him had a surprise on their faces, these are very practical magic, any scroll, in the market, can sell at least three or more gold coins, and the scroll for treating intermediate injuries can even be sold for six gold coins.
Nadette showed a surprised expression: "Your Excellency Cook, that's amazing! How successful you are in making reels is approximately. ”
"Under normal circumstances, it's about sixty percent." Beta thought for a moment and said, "If there is an apprentice assistant, it will probably be up to seventy percent." ”
The apprentice assistant that Beta said was the master-apprentice relationship of the major magic towers, and he said this just to add some convincing power to his fictional background. Since Nadette sent Heidi to test himself, he would definitely send someone to Lago County to find out his own details.
Everyone almost gasped, and then they all looked at the other spellcaster present, Perth.
Perth's face has always been gloomy, and it is rare to show some impressive color, and the success rate of his magic scroll is less than 30%. The talent gap between the two sides in this area is a little frightening.
"There are no casters in the first and fourth groups, and one person is missing, so you can divide the scrolls equally. Arnold, you pick seven first. ”
"Clams, then you're welcome." Berserker Arnold still picked a few scrolls that fit his squad, and the rest naturally went to the fourth group.
"Your Excellency Cook, this time the scroll will be credited to your contribution points for the time being, and at the end of the month, additional gold coins will be distributed together." Nadette looked at Beta and looked very happy: "You must be very tired after doing so many scrolls, or you won't participate in tonight's action?" ”
Beta waved his hand, and the lie came out of his mouth: "It doesn't matter, when I was studying at the Red Magic Tower, I had been making magic scrolls for my mentor for the first two years, and this amount of work was not comparable to that time at all." ”
No wonder...... Everyone had a clear expression, and it turned out to be a regular magician.
By the way, Perth is a wild mage...... That is, a self-taught magician.
Academics, no matter what world they are in, are synonymous with 'professional', and Perth was still a little jealous of Beta, after all, Beta is a warlock, this talent is too good, and he feels that he has lost at the starting line of his birth. But now Beta says that she has studied in the Magic Tower, so the situation is different.
Went to school and didn't...... It's not the same in terms of force.
"That's fine." Nadette nodded approvingly at Beta: "The undercover agent we arranged in the Temple of Light has disappeared, and Archbishop Payne will leave quietly at night......"
Nadette finished the course of action and drew the route of each group's action on a map. After making sure that everyone had written down their duties, he beckoned Heidi to the side and whispered, "When you act, you take care to protect Cook, and if things go wrong, prioritize his life." ”
Heidi smiled: "Have you started to love talents? ”
"yes. It is really rare to see such a capable, diligent and solid young aristocrat, and it is a hand to be able to help. Nadette smiled, "But I don't fully trust him either, and I'll have to see what comes back from Lagoa five days later." ”
