Chapter 71: The Gamble (I)
Saleen and Rex looked at the tens of thousands of notes, and they were reluctant to let go. The notes of these magicians contain a great deal of knowledge about Warcraft, as well as more than 100,000 magic formulas.
The Figaro Formula of Magic is the basic theory of all magic, and this does not mean that you cannot learn anything else after learning the Formula of Figaro Magic. The basic sequence in the complete Figaro magic formula reaches tens of thousands, and from this there are more variations than the stars.
It is impossible for a magician to learn all the formulas in his lifetime, let alone create so many formulas. But the magic notes in this hall are all interrelated knowledge, and if they are taken apart, their value will be reduced a lot. Seeing Rex silent, Saleen knew she couldn't let go of the notes.
"Well, you can choose one floor for the second and third floors. "Saleen came up with a plan, which was commonly used by Scottian merchants. It is generally used in bulk commodity trading. When a trading house wants to eat all the goods of the month, in addition to the financial problems, it also has to give up the next month's transaction to the counterparty.
The price of commodities fluctuates, and if you eat it in advance, you may lose all your money, or you may earn several times. It's a gamble that requires luck in addition to business vision.
Rex said without hesitation, "I want the second floor." ”
The value of the third floor may be greater, as is usually the case with the arrangement of the Magic Tower. But Rex can't give up this knowledge of transforming Warcraft, which is the same for a mage, and has a completely different meaning for a country.
Saleen took one last look at the books and notes on the second floor, greeted Shika and Neris, and turned to leave. He was afraid that he would regret it if he stayed any longer.
Rex slowly collected the information on the second floor, and Salin walked from the mezzanine to the third floor of the magic tower with the Ice Armor and the Water Shield in his arms.
Pushing open the door in a nervous mood, a fierce murderous aura gushed out, and the shield of water patterns on the surface of Saleen's body swelled violently, turning into a huge ball, blocking the doorway. At the same time, he once again released a shield of water lines, and the shield of water lines blocking the doorway was shattered by murderous energy, and Salin did not hesitate to release a third magic.
Now that his magic strings have grown, the second-level magic can be released nearly a hundred in a row. Behind him were Shika and Neris, and he couldn't retreat, so he could only go up one by one.
Thankfully, his Water Shield Defense reached the level of Level 4 magic, and the water defense magic was the toughest and most difficult to destroy. The fierce murderous aura was stopped by the magic shield, and with a slight pause, Saleen was able to release a second magic shield.
Retreat is impossible, and there is no pause in the murderous attack. Saleen retreated a few meters away at most before unleashing his ninety-six spells.
Saleen struggled to hold on, and the outside of his body continued to swell up one after another huge transparent blisters. I don't know what kind of caste the murderous aura attack that erupted from the third floor of the magic tower, and the magic shield was extremely vulnerable under this attack.
Salin's cold sweat flowed, and he was too careless. There are so many unknown things in this world, and when I only reached the fourth level, I became proud. Now, even Rex couldn't rush to the danger when he found out, and each of the Water Ripple Shields would shatter in half a second.
Shika had already removed the stick from her back, and Neris was anxiously baring her teeth to return to her demonic form. But this didn't help Saleen, Saleen's body obviously didn't have the strength of the Water Pattern Shield, as long as the magic string was exhausted, he would be torn into powder in an instant.
Salin still held the family crest in his left hand, and by this time, he could only fight hard. If the badge draws energy the same way it did on the first floor, then it is dead.
The ninety-fifth shield of the water pattern had shattered, and Saleen was about to use the emblem to absorb the nameless energy, when the murderous aura that poured out of the door suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Salin's body shook a little, and the continuous release of magic almost consumed his magic strings to the bottom, he had done the same when he was cultivating, but his usual cultivation was not life-threatening, and he would not be so nervous. The pressure of dying at any time made his physical exertion huge, and if he didn't often exercise with badges, it would be his body that would collapse first, not his mental power and magic strings.
The scene on the third floor of the magic tower was revealed to Salin, it was still a hall, the hall was empty, and in the middle was a skeleton. The skeleton is about eight meters long, and most of it is a tailbone. The structure of the skeleton is somewhat peculiar, with two pairs of bony wings, and a slightly longer skull with intricate magic patterns growing naturally.
This complete monster skeleton is not large, and the tailbone is thick. If the tail is removed, it is only one meter larger than the fourth-level demonic beast in the forest.
There were no other items on the entire third floor, and Salin was a little remorseful, so he almost gave his life away, and took those magic notes on the second floor, only to exchange for a monster bone?
"Salin, that's it. Shika pointed to the skeleton in the center of the hall.
Only then did Salin realize that there was no attack magic array in the entire third layer, and the only thing was this pile of bones. I'm afraid this monster has been dead for thousands of years, otherwise it would be impossible to have no fur left. The remnants of a thousand years almost killed him, the great magician, how strong was this demonic beast when it was alive?
Sika cautiously stepped forward, stroked the skull with his hand, and said to Salin, "Salin, give me this bone." ”
"I've got my share. Nellis snapped out of place.
"What's yours is mine. Salin glared at Neris and said, "Find a way to put it away first." ”
The bones of this monster are only long, not bloated, and not too large, but they are really like Rex's battle puppets. Naris reluctantly put away the monster bones.
Salin then asked, "Sika, what do you want this for?"
"The Demon Beast Battle Spirit in this bone is still there, and when I become a real battle priest, I can use it as a mount. There was a happy glint in Schika's eyes, and Saleen had never seen her so happy.
Salin felt a little better at this time, and it seemed that it was not bad to lose tens of thousands of magic notes in exchange for the joy of Sika. I owe her so much that I don't even care about it.
As for the mount that Schika was talking about, Saleen didn't take it seriously. This monster was powerful in life, but after death, it was just a pile of bones. Even if it can be refined into something similar to a puppet, it won't be able to fly. Running on the ground with four wings in tow is very colazy just to think about. This bone may be very strong, the entire third layer is just such a demonic beast, a tenth-level mage specially raised, at least a ninth-level creature. If this bone is used to refine magic items, it should be the best material.
"Salin, the Warcraft Battle Spirit in this bone is very strong, and it will be very powerful in the future. Sika was afraid that Saleen would regret it, so he patiently explained to Saleen. Salin's heart was also moved, Sika's original stick had not been refined by Faerun, and the demonic beast battle spirit inside had resisted the ascetic's divine art. And that Warcraft Warsoul is incomplete, and the level is lower than the Warcraft obtained now. In this way, this at least ninth-level Warcraft skeleton is worth a lot, although it is not as good as the second-level magic book, but at least for Sika, if he didn't come here, I'm afraid he would not be able to be such a strong Warcraft Battle Spirit in his life.
"I see, we're not losing money. Salin thought to himself, the core of this demonic beast must still be there, it really can't be done, and it can be sold for a sky-high price if it is dug up.
Seeing that Saleen still didn't care, Sika was a little depressed. However, the thought that after becoming a battle priest, he would be able to control this bone beast to soar into the sky, and his mood improved again. Combat priests are already rare among the Caucasians, and they have a flying bone beast, and they have not appeared in hundreds of years.
When the time comes, you will need to create a weapon that you can use, and you won't need to wield this stick. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he chuckled softly.
Naris didn't get anything, and bared her teeth viciously behind Sika's back, thinking to herself: Let you giggle, choke you to death the next time you eat.
If Salin had known Neris's thoughts, he would have found that she had become kind. If she had done so, Neris would have thought of poisoning Sika's bread or stabbing her in the back.
Saleen's magic string could not be recovered for the time being, and he was waiting for Rex on the third floor. With the core in his hand, Saleen sat down and meditated. It feels terrible that the magic string disappears, and for a magician, the magic string is more important than the hands and feet. The magic string was empty, and Saleen felt sick all over.
By the time Saleen opened his eyes, Rex was already waiting next to him.
"In danger?"
"Hmm. When Saleen saw Rex, he was terrified. If Rex was around, he wouldn't be so embarrassed at all. Rex must still have a special magic item on him, or simply release a sixth-level scroll to help him resist it, in that case, escaping will not be a problem at least.
"Let's not go separately. Rex didn't say much, she saw that the third floor was empty, and knew that there was probably nothing here, and she won this gamble. When he returns to the Myers Continent, he can use the power of the county to start creating this special magical beast on a large scale, either for war, or simply to dig up the magic core.
"I hope the fourth floor doesn't let me down. Salin stood up and made a gesture of please. Rex smiled, Salin's mentality is very good, the loss of the third layer can be completely made up for later, and the next layer, maybe there is a chance to gamble again.
In the first three layers, the harvest is actually extremely huge, even some wealthy magicians may not be able to obtain so many resources in their lifetime. Saleen really released his mood and no longer cared about the gains and losses. He followed Rex to the fourth floor, and blessed Rex with a water-streaked shield.
If a magician does not maintain a good attitude, he will go further and further down the wrong path and eventually lose his goal.
