Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Time in the game passed much faster than in reality, and for Chen Kai, they just had an offline meeting, and by the way, they ate a meal and died for four or five hours. But a night had passed in the game, and when Xu Fei and the others entered the game, the sky was already bright, warm, or a little hot, and the sun was slowly rising in the east and preparing to scorch the earth.

When Xu Fei used his fingers to stimulate his magic and slowly opened the curtains with the hand of a mage, the sunlight rushed into his room very lively. This is the second largest of the seven towers in the Lord's Mansion in Burkner, and he hopes that this tower can be built into a mage tower, but unfortunately Chen Kai doesn't have that much money. However, the tower where he lives still has some of the functions of the Mage Tower, and many of the facilities in the tower are designed to be arranged as the Mage Tower.

It's just that if she wants to turn this tower into a real mage, even if Xu Fei becomes a ** master, it is estimated that it will not be possible to achieve this goal in a few decades. The reason is simple: the Mage Tower is not just a mage's magic room, it is also a home for the caster and even a source of magic. Some high-level spell mana requirements are simply not something that a mage can support individually, but with the mage tower or the mana pool set up in the mage tower, spell casting will become very easy. Except for some forbidden spells, there is little need to worry about the mana depletion of mana when releasing high-level spells, especially when making spell scrolls, and a sufficient supply of mana can increase the success rate of the scrolls by at least thirty percent.

You must know that the higher the level of the spell scroll, the higher the mana required when making zuò, in fact, after reaching the fifth level, the mana required for a spell scroll is already three or four times that of the mana required to release the spell. As for the magic power required to make the scrolls of those seventh- and eighth-order spells, it is even more terrifying, although only a part of these magic powers are really injected into the scrolls, but the massive amount of magic power is still a necessary condition for the success of these high-level spell scrolls.

Xu Fei hoped that he could build his own magic pool in the tower, but he didn't have any drawings for the construction of such a magic pool, let alone the materials needed for such a magic pool. Because he had no idea what materials were needed to make this magic pool. Because the construction of the magic pool is only known to high-level ** masters or mages inherited by the family. And among the mages inherited in the family, there is still the kind that is passed on to the son but not to the daughter, or the kind that is passed on by hand and not recorded. This was after he knew about such a thing as a magic pool. It took a long time to find out.

However, although he didn't know how the mana pool was made, Xu Fei still left a layer of space in the tower for the construction of the mana pool in the future. For Xu Fei, the most valuable place in the entire tower is probably the magic workshop in the middle of the tower, which cost millions of gold coins to build. I don't know how much more expensive this magic workshop costs than the Spell Society, but it is undoubtedly very cost-effective and worthwhile, because the magic workshop is equivalent to a dust-free, sterile, and windless room in reality. Throughout the workshop, everything has special spells attached to it. Even if you wave a fan inside, it is difficult to make the air flow high, and even if it flows, the air will quickly stagnate, especially the consoles used to make zuò spell scrolls, which are not only extremely flat, but also have various special effects and spells that are helpful for making zuò scrolls, such as natural dusting.

The combined price of these units accounts for one-third of the total cost of the entire magic workshop, and it is also related to the internal price. If it weren't for Prime Minister Capello pulling the line. It is estimated that the cost of the entire magic workshop is not 10 million gold coins, and it is impossible to get it at all. With the private money of Xu Fei and a few of their spellcasters, plus one million gold coins subsidized by Chen Kai, they all smashed into it to create this magic workshop. The high cost of investment certainly makes this magic workshop more solid and reliable, at least much better than the low-level magic workshop of the Spell Guild. Except for a few tables for making zuò spell scrolls, there were almost no things in the entire workshop that were necessary for high-level magic workshops, such as air still spells or dust prevention spells.

Of course, this magic workshop is basically not open to the public, because Xu Fei and several of his own spellcasters sometimes need to compete for the scroll workbench, and when they do it inside, they will also encounter some bad situations. But everyone built their own magic workshop, and although the idea was very good, even the landlord's family had no surplus food and no money to build a new magic workshop. So even though the magic workshop was a little crowded, Xu Fei and the others still worked hard to overcome these difficulties. At least they're happier than those who are still vying for the few scroll-based platforms in the Spell Guild, and at least they have a better workbench and working environment.

It's just that for Xu Fei, he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to his magic workshop right now. In fact, this magic workshop is not his own, although the floor of the tower where Xu Fei lives is the only one that Xu Fei lives in, but the owner is all the funders, that is, all the spellcasters, including Bai Shasha and He Liwen. Of course, it is also open to some players who have paid a high fee. And the usage fee of this magic workshop is as high as 500 gold coins per person. Because as long as the Mana Workshop is opened, it will continue to burn mana crystals and spell crystals, and every day, at least two thousand gold coins worth of spell crystals will be burned to maintain those blessed spells.

Of course, even if the usage fee is intimidating, there are still many player spellcasters who pay money to come to the Mana Workshop, and because of this, the Mana Workshop is often crowded. Even though the guards tried their best to control the number of people entering the magic workshop, there were still more than a dozen players lining up at the entrance of the magic workshop every morning, and the workbench inside had long been occupied. Players know that the rent of the magic workshop here is expensive, so after entering it, they basically take out the prepared materials one by one as if they were in a war, and then start copying and making zuò scrolls, almost not wanting to waste any time.

Xu Fei naturally saw these players when he walked down the stairs, and they were all acquaintances, and everyone greeted Xu Fei. Don't look at Xu Fei's level is not high, but he is still quite famous among the ranks of player spellcasters, after all, he is the first player in the Hansting Empire to successfully pass the intermediate guide assessment, and he also got the glorious equipment of the arcane mentor head ring. The most important thing is that Xu Fei's magic power is not the most among the caster players, but it is definitely at the top of the list, and his spell knowledge is also very sufficient, of course, this is mainly due to the rich profits in the adventure. Mage is a money-burning profession. A lot of knowledge of spells is usually burned with money. Because the price of those spell books is a test of a caster's worth in itself.

"Yo! Phineas! I woke up early enough today! "Phineas! Good morning! A greeting sounded as Xu Fei walked down the stairs. And Xu Fei also returned the salute to these acquaintances one by one. Because he basically knows these people, being able to come to this magic workshop to spend money to make a scroll is basically the top deposit among the thousands of French players in the entire town of Burkner, and if they are not top-notch, they will basically not throw money in this place. Because the spell scrolls they made were basically impossible to be lower than the third-order level, if they were below this level, then they would be completely losing money. Only spell scrolls above this level. They can barely save their capital.

"Wait a minute! I have something to do to go to the imperial capital, by the way, whoever wants to bring something squeaks first, and the one who should pay the money will pay immediately, otherwise there will be no store in this village! Xu Fei arched his hand towards these players and then said, and immediately after this sentence was released, several players surrounded him and ordered some special materials from Xu Fei that were only available in the imperial capital.

Less than ten minutes passed. Xu Fei had an extra deposit of nearly one million gold coins in his pocket. The gold coins in the pockets of these players were basically emptied by Xu Fei, and they also pledged a lot of things to make up the deposit. Although they can go to the Imperial Capital through the Guò Caravan to buy some rare materials, these players know that some materials are not available to the money at all. Relatively speaking, the things that Xu Fei can buy are not only much cheaper than those that these players can buy themselves, but the most important thing is that Xu Fei can use his contribution to the Spell Guild to buy things that other players can't buy.

When Xu Fei walked to the hall, he saw the caravan butler Marka sitting at the table with a black line, and he rushed over directly after seeing Xu Fei. "Mr. Figo! Where's your lord! Why hasn't he shown up yet! ”

"Sorry! Mr. Marka, I don't know why the Baron hasn't shown up yet! You can continue to sit here and wait! Sorry to wait! I had to go beforehand! Xu Fei didn't even bother to pay attention to Marka's question, he directly took a loaf of bread from the dining table, used a spell hand to block the old man Marka in the distance, and then turned around and left the Lord's Mansion.

"Hey! Bastard! You bastard come back for me! Damn, what kind of attitude do you have!! I am the Prince's caravan steward. How can you treat me like this! I'm going to sue you from the Prince, you're dead!" Your lord is dead, and you're all dead! Where's my food! Damn it. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, you can't take the bread away! Bastard!! Just as Marka stopped Xu Fei, the bread on the dining table began to be picked up by the maids, and by the time he reacted, the prepared breakfast had already been taken away. Most of them had just eaten some bread or hastily taken a few loaves of bread and left, and no one paid any attention to the old butler yelling in the dining room.

The old butler tried to stop the maids, but he had to know that the maids in the lord's mansion were all five big and three thick, and their arms were thicker than the old butler Marka's thighs. In the face of this old man's obstruction, they directly pushed each other to the ground in an instant with a pull of their arms, and then threw him a few breads that seemed to have been bitten.

"Here you go! Oops, old man! At night, he even ran to the kitchen to steal something to eat, and returned to the prince's housekeeper! Phew! A very hideous-looking aunt said to Markla in a very disdainful voice, then turned around and walked away with the soup pot.

"You're doing this to me! Wait, I won't let you go! You're all going to be hanged on the gallows! I swear! Oops, who's going to hit me with something! Markla roared angrily, he was a little hysterical now, but no one would pay attention to the crazy old man. However, if the old butler Marka recognized one thing, that is, he could not stay in this lord's mansion any longer, so at noon he moved back into the wagon convoy and prepared to leave the town of Burkner at once. When Markla left, Xu Fei's figure also slowly emerged on the teleportation array of the imperial capital after a spatial flicker. He didn't know what happened to him after he left, and even if he knew, he would only applaud, because according to the strategy they had formulated, the old butler Marka would definitely be driven out of the lord's mansion. If you don't drive him out of the lord's mansion, then some things can't be operated, and offending a caravan steward Chen Kai felt that he was still offended, because he knew very well that Marka was not the prince's cronies. Because before several caravans. Chen Kai, they all saw the existence of the saint-level warriors. Only this caravan they did not see.

It's just that Chen Kai and the others didn't know that those Saint-level powerhouses were not sent by that prince. Rather, the other caravan stewards were hired temporarily. Markla also got money that could hire a Saint-rank powerhouse, but he stuffed all the money into his pocket, and if this matter was known, then Chen Kai and they could completely blame Marka for it.

Of course, it is impossible to hire a mercenary group with a saint-level powerhouse with millions of gold coins, but with the help of that prince's reputation, it is basically easy to hire. It's just Marka? The old man Dupsy was too greedy. It's not like he hasn't been in contact with those mercenary groups. But every time he puts on a swaggering stinky face, and then plans to hire those saint-rank mercenaries without spending a penny, the natural ending is more tragic.

It's a pity that they don't know these Chen Kai, if they know that the group won't have to endure Marka on the first day? The old man Dupsy viciously insulted. After all, people have tempers. Especially the town of Burkner suffered so badly, and it was hard to save people, but not only was not thanked, but also abused by the other party. If it weren't for the prince behind Marka, it is estimated that Su Xinghe would have let this bad old man taste what is called blood splashing five steps.

In order to avoid being scolded to the point of pulling out his weapon and doing irrational things, Su Xinghe and the others almost chose to take food and leave the lord's mansion after exercising in the morning, and went directly to the barracks or went to patrol the city wall, choosing not to turn a blind eye to the old butler. This action saved them a lot of trouble, and at the same time calmed the morale and feelings of the Burkner army, which had been somewhat depressed after this crushing defeat.

When Xu Fei arrived in the imperial capital, he went directly to Prime Minister Capello's mansion and asked to see the other party, but the other party was now participating in the early court meeting of the empire, and Xu Fei was very unfortunate to pounce. Xu Fei had already expected the situation of his own airfall. Because basically every time he comes to the imperial capital, he will encounter this situation. The most important thing for him to go to the prime minister's mansion was to hand over the letter requesting a meeting, but this time there was no Chen Kai's seal attached to it. If it weren't for the fact that Old Jacob at the door still knew Xu Fei, it is estimated that he would not even be qualified to deliver a letter requesting an interview.

"What's the matter with your lord?" Old Jacob saw the letter submitted by Xu Fei and looked at it for a long time, he didn't see Chen Kai's seal and thought that Xu Fei had come to meet him privately, and this was definitely not in accordance with the rules.

"This Baron Berkner has just died in battle, and he has not yet been blessed by the goddess to be resurrected!" Xu Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead, and it took a long time to express this sentence in his head. After all, some words need to be appropriate to the in-game environment, especially when an old man like Jacob Sr. can sometimes have a hard time understanding the player's language.

"Dead in battle? How do you protect your lords? Are all the guards eating dry food? Old Jacob's face was not good-looking, his impression of Chen Kai was very good, and he knew very well that Chen Kai was his master's most important ally in the middle of the empire. Although this ally is a traveler and can be resurrected after being killed in battle, it will always have an impact on prestige.

"Nope! The guards did their best, but the enemy was too strong! In order to protect the prince's caravan, the baron brought less than a thousand people against three thousand drow elves, and there was also a saint-rank powerhouse among them! Although the baron fought hard, the difference in strength was too great, and he unfortunately died in the end! Xu Fei struggled to organize the language, of course he exaggerated the number of drow elves appropriately, and then eliminated the player's cavalry directly from the battle sequence. Even the person who fought against the elven prince of Drow changed from Arno to Chen Kai, of course, this organization is a little exaggerated, but the more exaggerated it is, the harder Chen Kai fights.

"The most important thing is that a lord of the empire stabbed us in the back, he not only betrayed the empire but also colluded with the demon count Hugoddi! It was because of his betrayal that Baron zhì was injured in the battle, because he had sent killers to assassinate the lord before! If it weren't for that, how could the baron have been killed! Xu Fei kept using body language to tell Chen Kai's unfortunate experience, and he felt that he had the acting skills to win the Oscar, because he felt that his expression was too perfect.

After listening to Xu Fei's words, the old doorman Jacob, who was not very convinced, showed a look of belief on his face, and even made an exception to let Xu Fei enter the prime minister's mansion and wait for Prime Minister Capello to come back. This is definitely good news for Xu Fei, at least he doesn't have to stay outside and wait stupidly. (To be continued.) )
