Chapter 0061 Seaport

The port of Puto is the largest seaport in the northwest of the Kingdom of Serain, with a coastline as deep as 20 meters; The short ice period of the year is a natural advantage that cannot be ignored, but the greater advantage is that it is the only safe passage to the North Shanghai Road. From Puto Harbor, you will enter the Sea of Jewels, the sphere of influence of the mysterious maritime empire of Patersel, these maritime powers have always strictly controlled their own borders, never allowing human ships to sail in their "skies", and only those forces with whom they have signed diplomatic agreements are allowed to pass through certain areas, so this has caused some "trade routes" to flourish unusually well.

The 50-mile radius of the coast of Puto Harbor is a designated safe zone, and as long as it does not exceed the designated area of the coastline, it will not be attacked by the regular army of the Maritime Empire. However, this does not mean complete security, because the active trade in the coastal area has also attracted pirates, such as fishmen, harpies, krakens, etc., and even many of the chaotic elements of the Sea Empire have started side businesses here, and the Ocean Empire has always turned a blind eye to this. These rangers may not dare to rob the well-equipped large merchant ships, but they favor some small merchant fleets, which also promotes the local mercenary market in disguise.

Puto Harbor not only has a mage guild, but also many temples, and there are more than a dozen gods who can say the names of the gods alone, and it seems that the local lords have also made a balanced strategy, introducing so many religious forces in one go, diluting the exclusive religious authority of the Morning Light Church in this place.

As a mage, he naturally enjoys a lot of privileges. Casas easily found a well-known Pisa trading house and set up a trading fleet to sail north on the trading fleet of this trading house three days later. Both sides take what they need, and the fleet offers the best price and the best service to the mages in exchange for the mage's promise of protection.

Since there are still 3 days left, Li Xun, who is very active and quiet, can't help but take Xilisi to walk around. Since the last chance meeting in the middle of the night, the relationship between the two has become much closer. Li Xun doesn't have much research on the magic items in this world, and he may be able to find some real treasures by dragging Cialis, who was born in the royal family.

The city of eternal night is engaged in the construction of mage towers, and various materials are extremely lacking in them, such as obsidian due to its excellent demon aversion, which is usually used as the outer layer of mage towers; Zircon, Lapis Lazuli, and Lapis Lazuli can be used to build spell pools; Black jade and moonstone are necessary for the construction of the summoning room; White crystal, blue crystal, amethyst, red crystal, and dark crystal are the ...... needed in bondage.

As soon as he thought of the materials needed to build a mage tower, Li Xun felt that his head was two big. The difficulty of the construction of the mage tower lies not only in the collection of various rare materials, but also in the knowledge and ability of the first master who presided over the construction, both of which are indispensable. If you don't take refuge in a large force, it will take 10-20 years for a ** master to accumulate financial resources to build its own mage tower, and spend another 10 years to improve it. Although the construction is arduous, once the mage tower can be put into use, it means that a mage family or a mage force will be established.

In the past nearly a year, Li Xun can be regarded as having a small amount of savings, but once it is linked to the construction of the Mage Tower, it can be regarded as abject poverty. If it weren't for the robbery of the dark elves just now, Li Xun wouldn't even dare to think about it. Although Adamantite Gold and Mithril are also very precious in the ground, they can always maintain a certain scale of production, and the scarcity of this kind of super metal on the surface has reached the point of madness, and the standard quotation of the Crane Continent Auction House is 10 grams of Adamantite 10,000 gold coins, and 10 grams of Mithril 30,000 gold coins.

Using Adamantite Gold as the plating layer for weapons, this weapon does not even require any rare materials to have natural demon-breaking and annihilation properties, so it has always been sought after by high-level melee professionals; Mithril is an indispensable part of mages to build the best staff because it is as light as a goose feather but hard as steel, coupled with good mana conductivity, and due to the wealth of the mage group, the price of Mithril continues to be high. With the pure gold and Mithril that Li Xun robbed, he could easily auction 30 million gold coins at any auction house, provided that he could successfully auction it or that he dared to auction it.

There's nothing to worry about, but something too good is to be worried. Such a large transaction was only traded by a middle-level mage, and the probability of being hacked was 100%. Li Xun turned over his storage ring, and he could only scrape together nearly 30,000 gold coins, which could not purchase many materials he needed.

So he turned to a few large trading houses, and after seeing many magic items under the guidance of Cialis, Li Xun shook his head and dismissed the purchase plan and stepped on the carriage to the Mage Guild. The ghost horse's Cialis heard the meaning of building a mage tower from Li Xun's words just now, and she was amused in her heart. Of course, she regarded this as a young mage's beautiful dream for the future, so she used very realistic difficulties to repel Li Xun's impetuousness. As a middle-level mage who can't control his own destiny yet, every financial resource at present must be turned into his own strength, so that he can go further and further on the road of knowledge, and hoard wealth or wait until he becomes a high-level mage or ** master before thinking about it!

The Mage Guild Tower is located in the southern city of Puto Harbor, where there are few shrines, which also shows the disagreement between mages and gods. Due to the habits of mages, the mage guild's stations in various places also adopt the tower model, and the hall on the first floor is usually used as the main activity venue for mage apprentices, and is also responsible for reception tasks, so Li Xun and Xilisi went straight to the reception counter in the corner when they entered the hall on the first floor.

It was the busiest time of the day, and the hall was filled with forty or fifty mage apprentices in short white robes, some of whom were selling their goods in the corners of the hall, and some were gesturing with each other. Cialis stopped, looked at these familiar scenes with a smile, and said to Li Xun: "You can go there and have a look later, maybe you can find something strange?" These apprentices are not easy! ”

Li Xun asked inexplicably: "Have you also experienced it?" You probably didn't need it then! Is it necessary for training? ”

Cialis shook her head abruptly, with a posture that she didn't want to think about it anymore, and led Li Xun to the reception desk, and did not answer Li Xun's question.

The arrival of the two also attracted the attention of the apprentices in the hall. Due to the existence of the mage guild station, the number of mage apprentices here is obviously higher than that of other cities, and the quality is also much higher, but most of the apprentices who have been here for life and training all year round are familiar faces, and I couldn't help but be surprised to see two young men and women of the same age wearing formal mage robes. The sound of conversation in the hall gradually weakened and disappeared, and although everyone did not dare to look directly at them rudely, they couldn't help but shift their attention to the two young mages, especially the elegant and beautiful female mage.

Cialis simply nodded at the male apprentice behind the counter, showed her mage badge, and said softly, "Please go through the formalities!" Gen-la Li Xun and I need to check out the books in the library. ”

Most of the apprentices who can be selected for reception are nimble little guys, who lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Cialis's beautiful face, took the mage badge with a blushing face, looked at it carefully, and said in a lost voice: "Level 8 mage!" ”

The sound was not loud, but it was so loud in the hall that had fallen silent. Level 8 mage? Such a young level 8 mage? There was a short exclamation in the hall. Judging by their appearance, this female mage should be the same age as them, when they were still meditating hard at the apprentice level to accumulate magic power, looking for resources in exchange for knowledge, they had become official mages, or mid-level mages that people only dared to look up to! For a time, many male and female apprentices had a feeling that they had lived in vain. Although I have long heard that there is a genius in the storage of zài, but I have only seen it with my own eyes today, what a hated genius!

Li Xun touched his nose and felt that the atmosphere was wrong, but he could only hand over his badge.

"Level 6 mage!"

Although it is also an exclamation, you can always taste the taste of relief from it. What's the matter? What's wrong with a level 6 mage? Isn't a level 6 mage a genius? What kind of anger are you loose?

Li Xun gritted his teeth hatefully, why did he seem to have become a follower at this moment, but he couldn't argue about this kind of thing, so he could only roll his eyes at Xilis helplessly, and exchange an apologetic smile.

After a quick and simple registration, the male apprentice returned with the mage badge and led the two up the stairs on the side of the hall. The library is on the second floor.

When the two young mages disappeared at the top of the stairs, the long-suppressed sound downstairs suddenly erupted, and many apprentices expressed their surprise to each other, inquiring about the news of the two people, and they couldn't be quiet for a while.

After looking up the catalogue of books in the library, the two of them began to get busy. Cialis picked out some magic notes that she hadn't seen before and quietly flipped through them, while Li Xun was much more greedy, as long as she hadn't seen them, she asked for a copy of everything, especially when she found 2 level 3 spells "Water Breathing" and "Sharp Technique" that she hadn't seen in the Royal Library of the Duchy of Novis. For just these two spell copies, Li Xun paid 1,200 gold coins, which shows the cost of knowledge.

Many low-level mages will choose to copy themselves in order to save some costs, and on the other hand, it is also to train their familiarity with spells. But Li Xun didn't have this time, he could only open the way with money, and when he saw what he liked, he asked for a copy, and in just half an hour, he won nearly 100 books of all kinds and spent 14,000 gold coins. It was rare to meet such a big high-roller, and the apprentices who managed the library had a smile on their faces, and they were busy carrying copies of books, and soon formed a small mountain in front of Li Xun.

Li Xun captured a lot of dimensional bags in the previous battle, and after distributing them to several heroes, there were still 2 on his body as a façade, but he believed that there were too many books he bought today, far from what those 2 dimensional bags could hold, so he could only press the stack of books by hand and wait until the spiritual power included all of them before they were included in the storage ring. Apprentices who had seen similar scenes before added a lot of admiration, and the fact that a mid-level mage could have a storage ring that was not even popular among high-level mages could only show that this mid-level mage had a deep background.

Without the inclination of a lot of resources, even geniuses have to rely on hard meditation day by day to accumulate magic power. Well, well, you're a genius, a super genius! You can meditate for one day to be worth the effect of other people's ten days, and the progress is fast, but what about the storage ring? Can a storage ring also fall out of thin air with a genius talent?

Cialis, who was already flipping through the books, was attracted by the hustle and bustle just now, and wanted to see the jokes of this wonder boy so that you have nothing to choose so many books, but who knew that the fact that the other party had a storage ring was leaked out in the first turn. Storage rings? As a former princess of the kingdom, it is certainly not unusual for him to have a large-capacity storage ring on his hand, but he ...... Cialis smiled helplessly, it was not surprising that he had a storage ring, his guess of him seemed to be never accurate, and it was almost his instinct to be unexpected.

I inquired from Casas, he seems to be an apprentice who traveled out of the Kingdom of Breland, and he first registered as a level 4 mage in the Duchy of Novis 1 year ago, and he performed well in the previous encirclement and suppression of necromancers, and quickly grew into a level 6 mage, and was deeply valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, so he was able to join the envoy team. It was also in a few months of getting along that Casas realized the weirdness and magic of his talent, and bluntly said that as long as this person can continue to grow, the future is limitless!

Cialis felt that she was becoming more and more unable to understand the young mage. His experience is full of mystery, he became a level 4 mage when he first registered in the Mage Guild, but what about before? Has he been traveling around the world as an apprentice? Was that magical talent innate, or was it a travel adventure? Genius can't be exchanged for a storage ring. The only thing he seems to show is his thirst for knowledge, but this is not surprising, after all, every mage who has a pursuit is like this. In the future, I will have to live alone in Novis, after all, it is beneficial and harmless to be able to win over a genius mage, but what resources do you have to win over such a genius mage who is destined to shine?

The little princess, who was so young but had to step into such a predicament, fell into deep contemplation.

The two of them returned to the hotel at dinner time, and the tiredness of the day made the two go back to the room early to rest.

For the next two days, the princess never left the room and began to study new books. And Master Li Xun, who never knew what failure was, soaked in various trading houses and magic item stores all day long. Hmph, if you can't afford it, I'll record it. It took two days to sort out the various resources that I might need in the future, and summarized the basic prices in the market, ready to screen out the cheapest or most likely to get the ones, and accumulate sand into a tower, and if you can't build it in one breath, then build it in 10,000 breaths, and build the first breath today.

So the three mages, one quietly reading, one soaking in the market all day long, and the other leading several knights to prepare for the next ten days of life on the ship, each busy with their own work, soon it was time to set off.
