Chapter 12 The night is so quiet
"Is there anything you need to do yourself? just say no to the magic communication! All of them have selfish motives, hoping that their research projects will be favored by you so that they can be funded by you. "Black Gold did not hesitate to betray his old friends for many years. In his opinion, Richard's direct funding of these archmages and great alchemists did not help much to improve Deep Blue's financial situation.
"How's the research on Iwwood accelerants?" Richard asked about his most important project as he and Black Gold walked towards the deep blue.
"Two more weeks. There was no way, Fenglan's old elf stinky problem had flares up again, and he had fallen in love with a young elf beauty again, and now he spent hours writing love poems to her every day. I don't have much to do with my research!" said Black Gold indignantly.
The gray dwarf couldn't understand how a woman's charm could be compared to gold coins, and why someone would put a lot of gold coins and not earn them, but try to curry favor with a woman. It doesn't matter if that woman is an elf or a human, even if she is a female dragon, as long as there are gold coins, there are not as many heads as there are?
However, Feng Lan is the premier alchemist in Deep Blue, and he is the only one who is the most suitable to host this project.
Richard smiled, still had a good impression of Fenglan, the elven master, so he said, "It's enough to be able to study it in two weeks." Master Black Gold, you can arrange it for me, I want to talk to all the masters individually. I have some unanswered questions about the promotion of the Archmage. ”
"It's not a very difficult arrangement. I can catch you in the dark blue...... Wait!What did you just say, who's going to be promoted to the Grand Magister!Is it you?" Black Gold almost jumped. He circled around Richard as if he were watching a monster.
"How is this possible, how old are you, and you're about to become an archmage? Isn't that the same as me, of course, we gray dwarves are not good at magic in the first place, it's just a little hobby of my own. But little Richard, are you twenty? You're about to become a great magister! What a hell of a thing, where do you put the faces of those old guys? Your potential back then was only excellent, and on the other hand, you were considered to have excellent potential, and you will soon be able to ...... Uh, I didn't say anything!"
Richard looked at Black Gold suspiciously, and from the words of the gray dwarf, he could hear that he must have hidden something, and it was related to his talent and qualification evaluation back then.
However, no matter how much Richard asked, Heijin put on an expression that he would not say anything if he was killed.
Richard wouldn't let him go so lightly, until he entered the black gold office, Richard was asking a question repeatedly, and if you don't answer, you won't do anything else.
Black Gold panted and jumped onto his table, sat down cross-legged, thought about it, and finally confided in some of the things related to Richard's promotion to the rank of Grand Magister.
It turned out that Richard was only excellent in the deep blue qualification test that year. Coupled with the bloodline, it is only a little stronger than the excellent, and it does not meet the minimum standards of Su Hailun's students at all. On top of the excellent, there is genius, and then there is excellence, legend and uniqueness, and standing at the top of the qiē is Su Hailun herself.
Before Richard, Su Helen accepted students, and the worst evaluation was also genius, and the rest were all excellent, and there was even a legend level.
The lower the detected magical talent, not only will it be slower to increase its magic power, but it will also be less likely to gain powerful abilities when advancing to the rank of archmage. But this is not absolute, in the final analysis, the experience of countless strong people seems to prove one point, in the process of promotion, luck is the most important factor.
There are so many things in Norland that can only be retained by luck, so among the native gods of Norland, the god of luck will be one of the most powerful.
For a whole morning, Richard had an in-depth exchange with thirteen of the seventeen archmages of Deep Blue. The following afternoon, Richard locked himself in the library, flipping through various magical books. It wasn't until the apprentice brought in dinner that Richard realized that before he knew it, the whole afternoon had passed.
Dinner was served on tableware made of Lafite's fine iron, in the style Richard was most familiar to, and it made him feel like he had gone back in time to the days of the past five years. While eating dinner, Richard seemed to be in the time of studying in Deep Blue, and for a while, his thoughts about Su Helen were unprecedentedly strong.
Richard hurriedly swept away all the food from his plate and left the library and walked towards the area reserved for the legendary mage.
This time, Richard entered the legendary mage's dormitory very smoothly, and saw Su Helen sleeping on the jade platform again.
She is still so delicate and beautiful, and her sleeping posture is very smiling, but she doesn't feel anything indecent at all, she only feels that the girl in front of her is very innocent and cute.
Now Richard already knew that because of her special race, the legendary mage's mind and body were actually just like her appearance, just like her appearance, and she was just an adult, and maybe even a short distance away from real adulthood.
If Helen Su hadn't reached adulthood, then her race would be so terrifying that even dragons wouldn't need that long to grow.
Richard walked to the jade platform, sat down, and looked at Su Hailun's face calmly.
A strand of golden hair on the legendary mage's forehead stood up again, and he raised it demonstratively to Richard, and then he lazily knelt down, ignoring Richard's gentle stroke of Helen Su's blonde hair. It seems that since the last time Richard pulled it hard, the golden retriever's attitude towards Richard has been much better.
Bullying the soft and being afraid of breaking seems to be its characteristic.
Looking at the sleeping Su Helen, Richard didn't know what to call her for a while. Was it the teacher, or something else? Richard couldn't figure out what to do with the passionate and crazy night that overwhelmed him. Thinking of those Su Helen's joys, it is no longer something that can be measured in gold coins. The numbers listed on the entries, like their subjects, meant a great deal of joy for her.
"I'm about to become the Grand Magus, and I'm only twenty years old now. I didn't disgrace you......" Richard said this, and he couldn't go on.
His hands were tightly wrenched, pushing harder and harder. I finally saw Su Hailun, and finally had some proud achievements, but now, in front of her, somehow, it is very difficult to say.
In front of Su Hailun, the glory and splendor of Qiē are so bleak.
Since he couldn't say it, Richard simply didn't say it, but quietly flipped through the past in his memory.
Thinking back to the question of the race and adulthood of the legendary mage, Richard suddenly had a very strange thought: could that night be the impulse of her just adulthood? It's like a wayward girl who must get something she loves.
When I think of that night, I also think of the promise of that night.
Richard took Su Helen's hand and pulled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing a white and soft arm. But that night, Su Helen's whole body appeared blue lines, and so did her arms, that indescribable beautiful color, as if it was a sigh from the depths of the endless plane.
And now, the legendary sixth-order construct 'Deep Blue Aria' is hidden deep under the skin.
Navy aria ...... Richard has not yet reached the realm of the Grand Magister, so it is difficult to make a fourth-order construction, and he doesn't know how long it will take to complete the sixth-order dark blue aria. And the secret of the dark blue aria can only be found in other planes. And with Richard's current strength, he is also 108,000 miles away from exploring the unknown plane.
Richard, sitting here, was very conflicted and struggling in his heart.
To improve his strength, he needs to cross the threshold of the Great Magister as much as possible, so that he can make a fourth-order construct. But on the other hand, out of the consideration of maximizing personal combat power, he must try his best to suppress the realm under the Great Magus.
Because of the conversations with many Great Magiers in Deep Blue, as well as the consulted a large number of relevant materials, it has been shown that the ability obtained when advancing to the Grand Magus is closely related to the power of the bloodline. Generally speaking, the stronger the bloodline ability, the stronger the ability that can be obtained, although it is not absolutely, but as long as it is mostly so, it is worth adjusting the direction of development.
Therefore, if Richard wants to tap his maximum potential, he needs to develop the power of the bloodline to the extreme, and then step up to the level of the Grand Magus.
If it is placed on ordinary people, this is almost impossible, and the promotion level is theoretically uncontrollable, unless there is a secret method. And Richard happens to have Deep Blue Meditation to consciously strengthen the power of the bloodline, and on the other hand, he can control the growth of demonic power through sacrifice. However, this is likely to be a very long process, and the end result may not be satisfactory.
Between the two paths, Richard, with his fourth-order wisdom talent, couldn't figure out which one was better.
Sitting next to Helen Su, Richard thought about it for nearly a whole night, but he didn't get a result. When it was dark, he stood up, said goodbye to the legendary mage, and walked out of the main hall.
The legendary mage was still asleep, the strand of golden hair moving lazily, as if to say goodbye to Richard.
Walking out of Su Hailun's main hall, Heijin had been waiting outside the door. Seeing Richard come out, the gray dwarf immediately greeted him and asked, "Has Your Highness woken up?"
Richard shook his head and said, "Still sleeping." ”
The gray dwarf showed a hint of disappointment on his face, and then he hid it and said, "Master Phil has just returned, and he is waiting to see you!"
"Great!" Richard was well aware of Master Phil's profound knowledge of magical theory, and in many fields, Phil even surpassed some legendary mages. It's just that because of the limitation of talent, Phil is only level nineteen until now.
It was already breakfast time, and Phil, Black Gold, and Richard had breakfast together.
PS: Well, Gagen is still ignored.
