Chapter 8 Level 4 Synthetic Item: Dark Sapphire
It was already evening when Locke returned to the dormitory.
At that time, this dormitory was even quieter than in the morning, because the residents in several surrounding dormitories were all of Angevin origin.
Those people have been forced to leave the college one after another in the past few days.
Hence, the dormitory corridor near Locke will only become less popular day by day.
The Frankish Empire occupied the Kingdom of Anjou, so the number of students entering Aurelian College every year will be reduced by at least one-seventh.
Locke opened the first book alone in his dormitory and began to read it carefully. This night, he read it with fascination and gained great insights.
That was the beginning of the magical world.
At night, after simply filling his stomach with bread, Locke took out the level 4 synthetic items synthesized in the Horadric Cube.
Previously, he had synthesized a level 3 ring using gold rings, rubies and sapphires.
After that, he used three rubies to synthesize a level 3 fist-sized ruby. He also used sapphire fragments to synthesize some level 2 sapphires, and then used level 2 sapphires to synthesize three level 3 sapphires.
These level 3 gems are larger in size, about the size of an adult's fist, and their transparency and color are more perfect.
It has reached the level of a rare treasure.
It can be said that as long as you sell it for a few dollars, you can easily pay for the tuition of Aurelian College.
Now, it’s time for Locke to synthesize level 4 items.
Locke noticed that the Horadric Cube did not prompt him to continue synthesizing and synthesize level 5 items.
It seems that currently, as an ordinary person, I can only synthesize level 4 synthetic items at most.
Locke looked at the sapphire in front of him again. Not only did the size of the level 4 sapphire not get bigger, it actually got smaller, becoming only as big as a fingernail, but its shape became like a pearl.
【Level 4 sapphire (dark sapphire), a strange gemstone located deep in the mine veins, has the property of smoothing the fluctuations of mental power (filtering properties). Accessories made with it can be worn on the body at any time to stabilize the owner's mental power. 】
Locke was stunned for a moment and looked at the level 4 sapphire in his hand. "Sure enough, after the synthesis reaches level 4, the synthesized items are no longer ordinary items."
"Level 4 sapphire can make the wearer's mental power become more stable in a subtle way. Although I don't know what it is used for yet, I can definitely find a gem craftsman to make a ring for me."
"This is the power of Horadric's Cube."
Locke thought: "As long as I have the synthetic Rubik's Cube, I will no longer lack high-end materials, which will be a big help for me in the wizarding world in the future."
h "Now I am finally out of gold coin poverty, although I have a lot of magic stone debt."
Locke looked at the nine thick books in front of him. "This is the reward I got from making the right bet before."
"If I had not discovered the existence of quotas for outstanding graduates through logical reasoning at that time, there is a high probability that I would have been preparing to move out of the academy now, and would not have been able to get in touch with the wizarding world."
"Leave school. After entering the hospital, I could only rely on Horadric to synthesize the Rubik's Cube. I pretended to be a well-known gem craftsman in the mortal society of Corfu and became a mortal. A hundred years later, I became a pile of loess and bones. "
"But everything is different now." Locke thought as he looked at the books in front of him.
"With the quota for outstanding graduates, I no longer need to worry about safety issues and survival issues at Aurelian College. All I have to do is study hard."
"But rest is also a part of learning."
There is a required history class tomorrow, so Locke gently closed the book in the second half of the night, fell asleep, and fell into a wonderful dream.
…
The next day, in the history class at Aurelian College.
When Professor Alder walked into the classroom with a dark face and smashed his teachings on the podium, many people watching the excitement immediately focused their attention on Locke and several other Angevin people.
Angel's face was extremely pale, as if it were a piece of white paper, but her eyes still flickered and she glanced at Locke jealously.
She felt that Professor Alder's anger was directed at Locke because Locke did not go to his office to help him with his work as required by the history class professor.
Similarly, many students who have heard some news are also waiting to see the show.
Cohen Julian, as the son of the Earl of Frank, said to his two fat followers: "You can watch a good show today. Those Angevin people will definitely be kicked out of our college. Especially that Locke."
On the podium, in the eyes of the students, Professor Alder had a sullen face, glanced at everyone, and then his eyes fell on Locke. Then he stared at another student viciously as if he had not seen Locke. "The results of the last in-class test came out, and some people didn't study hard at all."
"The results were too poor."
"This semester, I will raise the requirements for passing the history course. Anyone with an average test score below the passing line will not be able to pass the history class this semester. Unless you use your free time after class to go to my office and help me copy the history textbook."
"Accumulate performance points."
"In this way, I can let you go." > Mr. Alder pushed up his monocle, "But this time I want to praise a classmate, Locke Augustine from the Kingdom of Anjou. His grades have improved greatly this time, and you all must learn from him."
"Okay, let's go to class."
Professor Alder's words surprised many students, and they whispered to each other, especially Angel and Cohen Julian.
On her seat, Angel looked at Professor Alder doubtfully. She was so shocked that she subconsciously stood up. When she realized that this was rude and too prominent, she immediately sat back down.
After all, now is no different than before. She can stay in this college only by working for Professor Alder, and by default is not required to pay off her tuition fees.
But Angel looked at Locke doubtfully, his lips trembling on his pale face.
Why is it different from what Professor Alder said in the office? Isn't the professor going to drive Locke out of the college today, on the spot, so that students of Angevin origin can see the consequences of rejecting the professor's kindness?
Why is it different from what you said before?
A trace of regret appeared on Angel's face at this moment. She was so weak that she even started to feel dizzy.
At this time, no matter how stupid she was, combined with Locke's previous attitude, she could still faintly sense that something was wrong.
‘If I had listened to Locke and not gone to work in Professor Alder’s office at that time, would I be like him now? 』
In another corner, Cohen Julian’s pupils showed a trace of confusion. "What's going on? How could Locke, that lowly Angevin man, turn the tables?"
"Professor Alder, why do you care about the youngest son of an earl who has lost his territory?"
Cohen Julian was not a complete playboy. After he realized that he couldn't see through Locke, he immediately fell silent, and he was confused, and he did not dare to directly provoke Locke again.
In class, Locke listened to Professor Alder's lecture.
After knowing the truth about the academy, he listened to Alder's account of the ancient history before the Seven Kingdoms, which was very interesting.
In the chaotic era before the Seven Kingdoms, when hundreds of small countries were established, the shadow of wizards was obviously present.
I am afraid that behind every small country at that time, there was at least one wizard.
Locke thought: "It seems that Dean Tungus has told Alder the information that I have become a secret society in the college."
"But why did Alder dare to attack other students directly in class. He seems to be getting more and more crazy."
"It's like a drowning man trying to grab any straw around him. Why is he so crazy?"
Lock shook his head and continued to listen. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
The moment he became the young wizard of Aurelian College, his status in the college was no longer that of cannon fodder at the bottom.
Hence, Professor Alder should not dare to attack himself again, all this has nothing to do with him.
One of the reasons why Locke still came to attend the history class was because he wanted to hide everything related to wizards in his performance, so Dean Tunguska also asked him to attend class normally.
At least take the required courses.
The second reason is that the history told by Alder can also be regarded as a basic general course in the magical world.
Hence, Locke still needs to learn.
When Locke looked up, he saw Patty Issa, who was sitting in front of him, turned around and said to him without making a sound and only moving his lips: "Congratulations, nobleman." 』
ifies. I didn’t expect you to pass. 』
From now on, we will be members of a club, and there will be club activities in the afternoon. 』
Locke also smiled at the blonde beauty in front of him who showed a bright smile to him, as if she was a friend.
It seems that I have been accepted.
That’s right, there are only a few wizard seedlings in this academy.
