walked well, and the lean pig who was suddenly picked up by someone even took two "space steps" in the air, spreading his hands innocently: "I don't know, I haven't seen him for a few days." ”

Since signing a cooperation alliance contract with Zhongchao a few days ago, this guy has disappeared, and even his direct subordinates have disappeared without a trace, and it seems that he is looking for a place for special training.

Everyone looked at each other, this secret shadow boss is always elusive? Even their own members couldn't find him for a long time.

"Hey, hey! Doesn't your boss take care of anything? ”

The invincible hammer blew the beard and glared, but the lean pig didn't speak, just showed a sad and angry expression, and the crowd that watched it was called a speechless, this guy should be out of the realm when he shook his hands, and like them, everything in the team had to be dealt with one by one, and he had to consolidate his strength, and he was as busy as a dog.

Although the ability to play super is not evaluated by strength, it can't be too rubbish.

There was no way to be entangled by Lao Bei, so Lean Pig had to take them to Lin Linling, who was in charge of placing the secret law group and the professional play group, and only she could contact Wutong.

Moving the headquarters of "Secret Shadow" in Auraon to Obsidian Leader is a big project, and "Secret Shadow", which has been operating and developing Auraon City since the early days, and preparing to use it as its headquarters, can be said to have grown up with Aoraon City.

And under their management, the Forest of Will, where the city of Aoraon is located, is indeed almost monopolized by them, and it is not just a matter of personnel to move the headquarters as a whole and suddenly move the headquarters as a whole.

Of course, the industry that has developed will not be moved, and the industry that monopolizes the entire market of the player class in the two major counties and provinces of the western border [Wilshire] and [Breeze County] is a huge treasury, and it is pouring out a huge amount of gold coins for "Secret Shadow" every moment.

Since Will Forest is like a huge treasure trove, which can provide a steady stream of materials, minerals and resources for "Secret Shadow", although some processing workshops and production workshops need to be relocated to Obsidian as a whole, rough processing units such as peeling workshops, smelting workshops, and dry shops do not need to be relocated.

What you want to move is only the expensive equipment that needs to be used for finishing, such as alchemy laboratories, potion refining laboratories, etc., these things, not to mention a complete set, one of the parts may cost thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins, although the city of Aoraon has been built like an iron bucket by "Secret Shadow", but in comparison, the security surname is still not as good as the obsidian collar, in case it is attacked by hostile forces, and it is smashed and robbed by others, then the loss will be great.

At the same time, along with the relocation of these expensive precision equipment, there is also the root of "Secret Shadow", that is, those spellcasters who have signed employment contracts with "Secret Shadow", and half of the profit source of the entire "Secret Shadow" comes from them.

From the first personal development of the "No. 44 Secret Law Mission" created by Wutong to the present, among the hundreds of large and small arcane law schools in the territory of Adele, except for those who have been cultivated by various forces, the vast majority of spellcasters have been looted into the "Secret Law Mission" by the "Secret Shadow".

These people are not necessarily mages, warlocks, sorcerers, but must be alchemists, enchanters, appraisers, engravers (rune burning), lapidaries (inlays), scholars, apothecaries, herbaries, scribes, scribes...

In addition, the illegal production professions, "Secret Shadow" also did not let go, such as: engineer (planning and design), architect (building houses), potter (firing utensils), repairman (repairing utensils), fabricator (rough processing and reprocessing), tailor (making armor: cloth armor), shipbuilder, winemaker, cook, tanner, lumberjack, sawyman, blacksmith (making armor: ironclad), carpenter, stonemason, groom (training animals, caring for animals), coachman (transport driving), Farmer (planting), fisherman, herdsman (livestock), tanner, miller, miner, sailor (driving a boat), painter (drawing), merchant (business)...

Because "Secret Shadow" relied on the strong game capital accumulated in the early stage, and the action of searching for talents started early and ruthlessly, so before the vast majority of players reacted, they used generous salaries and generous benefits to scavenge all kinds of talents with skills into "Secret Shadow" on a large scale.

The "poisonous hand" of "Secret Shadow" made those players who planned to sit back and enjoy it, still waiting for the "peach" to ripen, and reaching out to pick the peach were dumbfounded, but also regretted it, and were angry at the behavior of "Secret Shadow" that did not follow the routine.

According to the usual case in the online game industry, various forces wait for these talents to become self-taught, and then recruit the best of them, sometimes even putting on a high profile, allowing players who specialize in the production industry to compete for jobs.

After all, at the beginning of the game, the landlord's family had no surplus food, and no one in the various forces was rich, so how could they take out a large amount of resources to support these money-burning goods, and no one knew if these people would be able to create benefits for their own families at that time.

You must know that as long as it is related to the arcane law and production, it is all about burning money and losing money in the early stage, and without the investment of large resources, it is impossible to grind it out, even if they want to "raise" on a large scale, they are also powerless, and can only wait for these players who are engaged in production to hone it by their own strength, and then tempt them to join their command with a higher salary, in comparison, it is definitely more cost-effective than starting to cultivate from scratch from the beginning.

It's just the idea that let them miss out on these talents in "Endless", the salary and benefits given by the "Secret Shadow" in the early stage are tempting enough, coupled with the strong accumulation of people, the complete use of huge resources, and the players of these production professions have piled up good skills, how to compare with others?

It's not that no one has ever thought of digging up the foot of the wall, but it is just that it is necessary to come up with enough attractive salaries and benefits, and to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages for others to "redeem themselves", the cost is too great, and the power of the family can't bear it.

The most important thing is that even if you can dig people, you have to have an abundant supply of raw materials in "Endless", so that these players who produce professions can create benefits, and people's "Secret Shadow" has long been far ahead of them by virtue of its huge resources in the game.

In order to reduce the possibility of being dug up, they will be transferred to the obsidian for "closed and isolated" management, reducing their contact with the outside world, which is also one of the purposes, although it cannot be absolutely banned, but the probability of good will be smaller, and it is also conducive to security and secrecy.

In order to place such a large number of people, Lin Linling couldn't stop working, when Lao Bei told her that she was looking for Wutong, Lin Linling couldn't help but be stunned, as a professional player, she had no less dealings with the "Asian League" organization, in a previous game, the professional game company she belonged to at that time even accepted the employment of the "Asian League", so she knew more about it.

Generally speaking, institutions like "Asian Alliance" rarely ask players to come, but the freedom and realism of the game "Endless" are too high, not to mention semi-official player organizations like them, even the agency company and the official forces behind the agency company cannot interfere with the process of the game, which makes them lose the means to control players and have to lower their posture.

Lao Bei's meaning is very simple, he wants to ask the high-level mages of the Venane Mage Group to help solve the problem of bones and corpses piled up outside the city through Wutong.

But the question is, where did the sycamore go?

Lin Linling blinked her big charming eyes, shrugged her shoulders and said, "The boss was captured by his teacher and taken to retreat, let me see if I can contact him." As he spoke, he found a [Communication Stone].

The super players who came with Lao Bei suddenly, no wonder they have disappeared for so many days, the feelings are caught by the ** teacher to open a small stove for special training, but then, the super players have another burst of envy, jealousy and hatred, people with teachers are really happy...

Happiness?

Wutong didn't think so, he only felt that the past few days were simply worse than death, and being captured by Zemur for special training was not something worth cheering, because it was getting closer and closer to the chief war, in order to save time, Zemur asked Wutong to gather sixty-four mage subordinates who were going to be brought to participate in the competition, and then threw the poor little mages to Eruntag. The eight-line high-level mages led by Beria let those former teachers of Wutong train them.

As for Wutong himself, he was caught by the old man Zemur and eight other eighth-line 7th-order ** masters, and let him open the endless hut and go in to burn money and retreat... The money of the nine ** divisions, including Zemmour, also belongs to him!

As soon as I thought of this, Wutong burst into tears, and I couldn't afford to hurt it! The hellish place of the Endless Hut, now even the Sycamore himself tries to avoid using it, and the speed of burning money is too terrifying!

Originally, he was going to protest, but under the threat of old man Zemmour's intention to turn him into a toad, Wutong had to obediently obey, and then spent an unknown amount of time in the water and fire, and then was thrown out of the endless hut by this group of perverted old guys.

Old man Zemur still shamelessly forcibly requisitioned the endless hut of Wutong, and planned to open it into a shared "recreation room" for the Venane mage group, if it weren't for the fact that the endless hut was only nearly 100 square meters in size, everyone could only use it in turn, and the old man Zemur also planned to gather all the mages of the Venane mage group into it.

As for the terrifying cost of using the Endless Hut... Haven't you heard the Andele proverb:

"The mage is the richest person in the world, but the poorest person in the world is richer than the mage, because as a mage, he is always short of money!"

The reason why mages are short of money is because they always have the luxury of burning gold coins where they are interested, and for mages, gold coins are really not too difficult to obtain.

For these ** teachers, time is cheap and expensive.

The cheapness lies in the fact that these ** divisions, with the growth of strength, their lives will be extended, haven't you seen the old man Zemmour, who is about to turn 889 years old, still alive?

And the high cost lies in the fact that it is likely to take decades or even hundreds of years to conduct a large-scale arcane research casually, and it is too cost-effective to be able to exchange gold coins for precious time.

And with the accumulation of hundreds of years of these ** masters, the wealth they have, I am afraid that even the dragons will be envious and jealous and hate to try to rob them, so these white-bearded old men use the endless hut without pressure at all.

Due to the unequal time between the Endless Hut and the main material plane, although Sycamore stayed inside for a long time, it didn't take long to be outside, and Sycamore could only stay in the core of the territory to retreat and digest what this group of irresponsible old guys stuffed into his mind in a short period of time.

In this "retreat", in addition to reviewing and consolidating what he had learned before, in exchange for borrowing his endless hut, Wutong also gained the right to read the collection of books that the ** masters carried with him.

The only thing that makes Wutong's head big is that every ** teacher can't wait to be like a personal library, the huge amount of books he carries with him is amazing, and the books in these ** teachers' private collections are not like the big road goods that can be found in the outside library, they are definitely rare materials, and some are even the arcane experience and personal understanding summarized in the life of the ** masters, and other people who want to borrow ** teachers may not necessarily borrow it.

In order to save gold coins, Sycamore had to use his [Unforgettable] plus [Quick Memory] talent, combined with the first-order spell [Scholar's Touch] that can read a book in an instant, to forcibly memorize the content by rote, and save it for later when he has time to study it carefully.

After being tortured by the ** master for so long, Wutong was almost nervous, and his brain that was almost stuffed was really unbearable, but he did benefit a lot, in addition to a deeper understanding of the arcane knowledge, although the strength of Wutong itself has not increased, but the skills have been improved by leaps and bounds, and the use of spells has also become arbitrary, such as the arm pointing up, no longer like before, only stiff and rigid in accordance with the way recorded in the spell book, whether it is [legal control ability] or [micro technology], All of them have been greatly improved.

In addition, he also obtained three [specialty] abilities from the ** masters:

[Cast Material]: Casting spells no longer depends on the amplification of the cast material, and can also achieve the effect of the amplification.

[Spell Proficiency]: Quite proficient in some frequently used spells, no longer need to use a spell book to prepare spells.

[Battle Castering]: Can cast spells while fighting, defending, or being suppressed.

Theoretically speaking, some rare spells are difficult enough to obtain, but [Expertise], [Special Ability], [Supernatural Ability], and [Spell-like Ability] are even more things that can be encountered but not sought.

But so far, I've only gained a total of six specializations, and in addition to the three newly obtained, there are also [Meditation], [Summoning Demon Pets], and [Scroll Transcription], which are three [Basic Specialties] that will inevitably be obtained as long as they are officially inaugurated, even if they are unlucky.

Although these three [Basic Specialties] are indispensable for mages, the three newly acquired specialties of Wutong are the key to truly allowing him to exert the power of the mage profession!

The elements used by a mage to cast spells are:

"Arcane Mantras" chanted in [Esoteric French];

Channeling the "Spell Casting Gesture" of the Ao Energy through the Seal;

The "casting materials" of various special materials are basically divided into three categories: animals, plants, and minerals, such as cow bone meal, toad tongue, sheep's hoof powder, pine gum, acorn, pine tower, limestone, sand, clay... And so on, although some spells can be released without casting materials, but the power effect is not complimentary, the better the casting materials, the stronger the spell effect that can be amplified.

Special "spell-casting equipment", such as staffs, orbs, codex, or other items of similar function, and sometimes even the use of runic circles, spellcasting altars, and all sorts of strange utensils.

(Some spells don't require seals, gestures, or equipment, but the more complex the release requirements, the more powerful the effect.) ）

Spells have strange requirements for casting materials, which are not necessarily expensive, but there are so many types that any mage will not dare to make sure that he has any of the required materials in his spell material bag when he is out on an adventure.

Therefore, mastering a [Spell Casting Exemption] specialty has brought a lot of convenience to Sycamore, and you don't have to rummage through the spell materials in the bag in the battle, and the casting speed can be increased a lot... Otherwise, you think that casting a spell for Master Mao will consume one round, which is 6 seconds of preparation time, instead of coming with your mouth open like a warlock.

After mastering the [Cast Exemption] specialty, any cast material with a price of less than 1 gold can be directly exempted, but the cast effect will not be weakened, and the effect will be further enhanced as the level of the specialty increases.

[Spell Familiarity] allows low-level and skillfully used spells to increase their power effect, release them faster, and no longer need to hold a spell book to prepare.

The most important thing is [Battle Spellcasting], with this specialty, when fighting, the chanting spell is not easy to be interrupted by the enemy, even in a bumpy riding state, running and moving and other violent actions, will not affect the spellcasting process, but also in the casting process to dodge, with these few specialties, Wutong's actual combat ability will be directly raised a notch!
