Chapter 347: A Conversation Between Legendary Mages
Looking at this well-made magic badge with no regard for the cost of work, Henry couldn't help but secretly sigh at the strength of the Masked Mage's Guild. It is really worthy of a large-scale spell-casting organization that has monopolized the entire Amam region for hundreds of years, and this huge financial power alone is not comparable to itself. It seems that joining is a fairly sensible choice, at least to get an incoming channel.
You must know that he can carry millions of gold coins on his body now, but he can't spend them, because all kinds of alchemy and spell-casting materials are only in circulation in the market, and most of them are in the hands of the masked mage union. In order to ensure that the research of legendary spells can continue in the future, a variety of massive resources are indispensable.
Just as Henry pondered how to speak, the battle for the siege of the Mage Tower came to an end. A very capable-looking female mage cracked the secret door at the entrance, followed by the man behind her, commanding the golem to smash it open with a punch, rushing in and unleashing a massacre.
According to the tactics laid out in advance, these masked mages work in teams of five with a clay golem or stone golem to begin cleaning the interior. Whether you encounter an apprentice or a full-fledged mage, you can attack without saying a word. In less than five minutes, they cleared three floors above ground and two floors underground. Five of the Ronorr mages were killed, and countless more of the apprentices died.
While drinking the tea brewed with mint leaves, Chara Nora sighed: "Hey, I really didn't expect it to end so lightly, it's really boring." ”
"This is nothing more than a mage tower built by nobles, and their essence is to fight for more benefits and rights. Why, do you expect a genius to devote himself wholeheartedly to magic in such a place? Henry said. While politely rejecting the teacup that flew over automatically. He didn't want to drink this strange-tasting tea. No. To be precise, it should be called mint water.
Chara Nora laughed and nodded. "That's right, I've overlooked the fundamental difference between a mage and a nobleman. One is to accumulate strength in the struggle for power, and the other is to arm oneself in order to explore the essence of things. But you're such a weirdo that you don't like tea. Many mages are very fond of this drink, as it not only refreshes the mind, but also keeps the mouth fresh at all times. ”
"I'm sorry, but it's okay to eat it just as an herb, but it's okay to brew it with hot water. I've recently been cultivating a new tea tree with a mellow taste. If successful, it will soon be able to completely replace the tea currently circulating in the market. ”
Henry hated the mint leaves of the Feron Continent, and had long wanted to cultivate a real tea tree so that this disgusting taste would disappear from his face forever. Since becoming a legendary druid, he has discovered that he has some similar ability to alter plant genes, and given the time he can, he can completely replicate the tea plants on Earth.
Chara Nora suddenly remembered the information she had read not long ago, and immediately sat up and asked with some curiosity, "Oh? I seem to have heard that you are not only a mage but also a druid. I would venture to ask, what is your druid level...... Of course, if you really don't want to answer, I'll have no problem. ”
Henry smiled and waved his hand. "There's nothing you can't say. When I became a Legendary Mage, I also became a Legendary Druid. Master Kelburn, Master Ilminster, Ms. Leila, and Ms. Erastro were all present. "He doesn't intend to hide this at all. After all, with such a powerful natural favor, even if you don't use spell detection, you can feel some of it, so it's better to say it generously, and maybe you can fight for some more benefits for yourself.
"I see, you're the elect who united several goddesses of magic. I said, no matter how talented a person is, it is impossible for him to deal with an ancient red dragon and slay it alone. ”
A look of abrupt realization appeared on Chara Nora's face. As the highest-ranking member of the Masked Mage's Guild, she had seen Baragath's majestic form, and even she was not sure that she would be able to defeat such a formidable enemy. If it is really like the rumors in the outside world to slay the dragon alone, then the young man in front of him is really terrifying.
Seeing the other party's expression, Henry knew that this elf master had made up a lot of brains. However, he didn't intend to explain more, just smiled and replied, "That's right, this is the closest I've ever been to death in all the dangers I've ever experienced. During the battle with Baragath, I lost a leg, but I was also seriously wounded and fell into a coma. If it weren't for the desperate rescue of a few companions, I am afraid that several voters would have died before the arrival of several voters. ”
Zaranora could sense the dangerous situation from these few understatements, and her eyes inadvertently showed a hint of appreciation. Being able to face the crisis so calmly, and then calmly make a judgment, and finally kill an enemy who is several times stronger than himself, whether with or without the help of external forces, this spellcaster deserves respect.
"I am amazed by what you have accomplished, both intellectually and professionally. What are your plans for the future? Especially when it comes to druids, what area do you plan to specialize in? Is it a plant or an animal? I still have quite a few books on this subject, so I'll give them to you as a gift. ”
"I haven't thought about it yet. You know I'm on an adventure and don't have much time to do research. However, this battle has given me some inspiration, and maybe it would be a good idea to study a legendary artifact that transforms into a dragon. Henry said this purely to pave the way for the future performance of "Transforming into an Ancient Red Dragon", otherwise it would be easy for people to suspect your faction tendencies by rashly turning into an evil red dragon.
"Is the dragon transformed? Very good choice. It not only ensures that it continues to have the ability to perform magic, but also has the strong defense, strength, and vitality of the dragons. The combination of druid and mage is really a perfect complement, and I am a little envious and jealous. Chara Nora said with a teasing chuckle.
It could be seen that she was only a little interested in this possibility, and didn't really think that this combination would be any more powerful than a pure mage. After all, being able to become a legendary mage has a deep understanding of the nature of the world. In their eyes, as long as the power of magic is exerted to the extreme, whether it is a high god or a demon lord of the endless abyss, they can be killed.
Just as Henry was about to speak, suddenly a girl of about twenty years old with short black hair appeared at the entrance of the room, who seemed to have some oriental blood, and it was the masked mage who took the lead in breaking the secret door. I saw her walk forward quickly and bow deeply.
"Two masters, the Ronorr family's mage tower has been cleared, please instruct me what to do next."
Chara Nora noticed Henry's intently staring at the girl, and asked with a smile, "Amelia has the bloodline of the Karatu Dragonfly Empire, why are you so interested in her?" ”
"Hehe, it's a little bit. I've always been very interested in Caratu in the East, and I even went there for a while to see it myself. After speaking, Henry's eyes flowed with a series of complex feelings such as nostalgia, yearning, and longing.
"In that case, I'll give Amelia to you. Although her talent for magic is not very good, she is still capable of many day-to-day management tasks. ”
Chara Nora's casual words decided the future life of the girl in front of her. In this regard, she herself did not even have the slightest ability to resist. Don't even dare to reveal the slightest dissatisfaction, otherwise the end will be very miserable. The hierarchy among mages was stricter than that between ordinary people and nobles, and the punishments were more cruel, and it was likely that even the soul would not be able to rest in peace after death.
"Thank you very much, I will definitely send you the first one to taste after my tea tree is successfully cultivated." Henry nodded slightly in thanks, then lifted the girl's chin and looked at the supple lines of her face and the long-lost black pupils. Even though he was now in another world, he felt like he was back home.
Chara Nora didn't quite understand why Henry was interested in Karatu, but she didn't intend to ask. After all, who doesn't have a bit of a quirk for a legendary spellcaster. Compared to some perverts, the young man in front of him is quite normal. If a Caratu woman can gain favor, or even friendship, from the other person, then she definitely doesn't mind getting some more from Karinshan's slave market.
After admiring the girl's oriental face for a while, Henry handed over a list of materials in the "mage's hand" and asked, "Master, what price do I have to pay if I want to buy these materials?" ”
"Hmm...... Sorry, this is too much, even as a highest-level member, you can only buy a third at a time, otherwise the HQ's material library will be emptied. According to the internal preferential price, it will cost about one million gold coins. "Zaranora was also taken aback by the huge amount of purchases at first, but considering that the other party was researching legendary spells, it was not too outrageous to consume a little more.
Henry also knew that it would be impossible to buy so much at once, but one-third was too little to support the rest of the research. After thinking about it for a few minutes, he pulled out an arm-thick keel from the dimensional pouch. After the first time she saw it, Charanora kept her eyes on it and never left. This is the wing bone of the primeval red dragon, the top-quality material for the main part of the staff.
After a few minutes, she couldn't help but sigh. "Okay...... You win. I prepare some more from a private warehouse, and I can get about two-thirds of it. This is already the limit, and the entire guild will not be able to carry out some plans because of your purchase. ”
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze any more, Henry smiled and put the keel on the table. "Thank you for your support, these supplies are very important to me."
"It's an equivalent exchange, and it has nothing to do with support. I admire you, but not so much. Chara Nora said as she grabbed the keel and tested it repeatedly. Judging by her appearance, she has entered a state of concentration, and I am afraid that her mind is full of the blueprints of the staff. (To be continued......)
