Chapter 237: The Soul of the Wilderness can be advanced
The Snover clan has opened five shops in the camp, which shows that the family has a big business.
Gaode went to the largest of the five stores.
"Guest, we really haven't stocked up on the blue butterfly crystal powder you mentioned. Although blue butterflies are not rare, their crystal powder is not used in many places, so we don't collect it in particular. I'm sorry."
In the tent, the Snover tribesman who is responsible for running this "shop" said politely.
Just as Gothe thought, given the specifications of this "shop", the owner is an ice-born mage who can understand his language and communicate with him.
"Then can you help me collect it carefully? I will stay here for about a week. During this period, if you can come up with blue butterfly crystal powder, I will accept it. I can pay extra for this." Gothe said again.
The other party thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, but what kind of reward can you give?"
"Is this okay?" Gothe took out another piece of ice wolf fur with one ring.
It and Blue Butterfly Crystal Powder are both first-level materials, but as a high-quality "warm equipment", the value of Ice Wolf Fur in the North is obviously much higher than that of Blue Butterfly Crystal Powder.
The boss's eyes lit up instantly. If this business was completed, they would make a small profit.
"Deal!"
"Thank you very much." Gaode said equally politely.
"Also, do you have maps of the North for sale here?"
H The matter of spell and potion materials was settled for the time being. He asked about the map he was most concerned about, but what he received was the latter shaking his head.
"There are map things in the clan, but they will not be sold in our store, I'm sorry." The boss's attitude was very good, but his refusal was also very firm.
"Then can you help me apply to your tribe, and I can trade with ice marrow." Gaode took out his biggest bargaining chip.
"Guest, it's not that I don't want to do this business, it's that I don't have the ability. Maps are things like maps that the tribe has only come up with after years of trial and error. How can they be easily sold to outsiders?" The boss was unmoved.
This is the absolute truth, not words to raise prices.
In this world, maps are very precious, especially in a primitive and wild land like the North.
Seeing the other party's expression and posture, Gaode knew that this matter was indeed non-negotiable.
Unless the Snover clan asks for something from him, or he can offer some bargaining chip that the Snover clan cannot refuse, then that would be a good idea.
But after much thought, Gothe couldn't think of anything he had that would make the Snover clan willing to give up the map in exchange.
Him He had no clue at the moment and left the tent without any pointless entanglement.
Subsequently, Gothe found a residence in the camp.
Naturally, there is no so-called hotel here.
If outsiders want to stay overnight in the Snover camp, the most common way is to find the Snover tribesmen, negotiate with them, and spend some supplies in exchange for accommodation.
Gothe thought for a while, came to the tent where Lana lived, and made a soft sound outside the animal skin curtain.
Soon, Lana's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
A few seconds later, Lana opened the animal skin curtain and walked out of the tent.
She showed a surprised expression when she saw that the person who came was Gao De, "Isn't it not dark yet?"
She thought Gao De was here for "class".
Gothe made the "deal" gesture again, then pointed at another tent that was obviously smaller next to Lana's tent, and made a resting gesture.
Lana thought for a while and asked uncertainly: "Do you want to stay at my house?"
Gothe nodded.
He took out another ice stone from his pocket and handed it over.
Gothe was very generous in his actions, although part of the reason was that he had nothing else of value that he could sell.
Lana was immediately moved when she saw the ice stone.
Although she can't use the Ice Stone, the value of the Ice Stone is there, and she can completely replace the Ice Stone with the items she needs later.
She thought about it carefully, but in the end she could not resist the temptation of the ice stone.
"How long do you need to stay?" Lana asked.
After Gao De made a sign of "seven" with his hand, he made a sign of "ten".
"Seven to ten days. That's okay, but your stone can be exchanged for a lot of things. If you only need to stay for seven to ten days, it's obviously unfair to you."
"In this way, if you don't mind it, this is I can also provide you with three meals for a while. Of course, it won’t be very rich. It’s just what I usually eat. I’ll prepare an extra portion for you.”
In the north, obtaining food and preparing food are too troublesome and extremely time-consuming.
It is best to save trouble.
Although he has very high requirements for the taste of food, Gaode is actually quite able to endure hardship when it is time to endure hardship.
"Then let me go and clean it up for you. It used to be my tent. After my parents left, I moved it to their tent. My tent was used as a warehouse to put a bunch of sundries." Lana pointed to the tent Gothe was interested in and said.
"But don't worry, all the necessary facilities are there, including the most important fire pit."
Just as Gothe thought, there is no adult man in Lana's home.
What Gothe didn't expect was that there was no one else but Lana.
Fortunately, the people in the north have a more open-minded personality and their ideas are not as conservative as the outside world. Otherwise, his behavior of asking a "female living alone" to stay overnight would definitely not be accepted.
Lana was very neat in everything she did, so after more than half an hour, she packed up the tent.
The fire pit has been lit, bringing warmth to the tent.
Gothe took a glance and found that Lana had simply cleaned up the debris, and there was still dust accumulated in many places.
It's not that I'm lazy, it's mainly that people in the north are not as particular as people from the outside.
But he had to live here for a short period of time anyway, so Gao De used the [magic trick] as a "cleaning technique" to clean the tent again until it was as clean as new and no dust was visible.
So that when Lana entered the tent again with some "bedding", she almost didn't recognize it and thought she had entered the wrong tent.
"Did you do it?" Lana couldn't believe it.
Gaode spread his hands, indicating that it was not a big deal.
"The spells you foreigners have are really strange." Lana muttered.
She put down her things and left wisely.
After Lana walked away, Gothe put down the package on his body.
At this time, the pocket on his chest moved, and a clear voice came out immediately:
"Mage!"
Gothe was shocked all over, and couldn't help but slap his head: he had forgotten this little ancestor.
But he didn't dare to let Flora know that he had forgotten her, and said with a normal expression:
"Ms. Flora can take the lead."
As soon as the words fell, Flora immediately got out of his pocket, flew at the height of Gothe's eyes, and then looked directly at Gothe with wide eyes.
"Is Lady Flora shady?"
She is still brooding about it.
When they were queuing up to enter the Snover camp, Gothe put her in his chest pocket and told her not to show up.
"It's because Lady Flora is so popular. I think those two guards seem to pay special attention to non-human creatures. If you show up, I'm afraid they will target you."
"Mage, won't you protect Lady Flora?"
Flora didn't speak for a moment, she just stared into Gothe's eyes and looked at him.
Gothe did not avoid it and looked at Flora's clear eyes candidly.
After a moment, Flora withdrew her gaze, flapped her small wings, flew to the entrance of the tent, cautiously poked her head out for a look, and then retracted.
"Mage, there are a lot of mushrooms here!"
In Flora’s eyes, tents are like large mushrooms.
."
"Yes, a lot." Gothe responded helplessly.
Children are like this. One second they were in the east, and the next second they were jumping to the west.
It quickly became dark.
For dinner, Lana made barbecue with the snow wolf meat that Gothe used to trade magic plants. It was a hearty meal.
After finishing dinner and cleaning up, Lana got into the mood and started teaching Goudais.
Of course, although she is a relatively smart person, as a "teacher", she is definitely unqualified and has no rules at all.
The teaching method adopted by Lana is the most crude way of teaching.
At the beginning, she started with "noun teaching":
Lana directly pronounced the Ace language pronunciation of common items in life, and read them to Gothe one by one, and read whatever came to mind.
This kind of teaching method is definitely misleading under normal circumstances.
However, on the premise that Gaode has mastered the language and can understand the specific meaning of each syllable spoken by Lana, it can be regarded as an efficient teaching method.
Goude’s Ais language learning career quickly got on the right track.
There is no doubt that Gaode is an excellent student.
If the students are good enough, the teacher’s teaching method is actually less important.
It took him two nights, and after he memorized the Ace language pronunciations of most items, Lana's teaching content was transformed into "short sentence teaching."
Gaode studies Ace language at night and practices during the day. At the same time, he goes to the store every day to check whether the blue butterfly crystal powder he needs has arrived.
In addition, I just wandered around the Snover camp to see if I could find a way to buy a map. I also wanted to practice my Ace language.
On the fourth day after entering Snover Camp, the blue butterfly crystal powder that Gothe had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.
Hand "pay" with one hand, delivery with the other. After paying for a piece of ice and snow wolf skin, Gaode got a full ounce of blue butterfly crystal powder, and the extra was considered as a bonus.
In the tent.
Gothe borrowed a small pot from Lana, and then took out all the potion materials he had collected.
He placed the small pot on the fire pit and put all the ingredients into the pot in no particular order.
As the temperature rises, some wonderful changes immediately occur between these materials. Regardless of their original forms, they are quickly integrated and transformed into a light green liquid.
When a faint scent of medicine hits your face, the magic potion is successfully prepared.
Gaode didn’t mind scalding his mouth, he just poured the freshly baked medicine liquid into his mouth - even if he was really burned, it could also be used as a way to increase the progress of [Adaptive].
The fragrant medicinal liquid melts when it enters the throat, pours into the sea of magic stars, and turns into a mist.
Immediately, Gothe gave himself a [Divine Guidance +], then sat down in meditation, and directly began to try to build a spell model of [Wild Alertness].
In these days, he had already taken the time to convert the spell model of [Wild Astuteness] into the corresponding coordinate system, and memorized all the three-element arrays representing the nodes of the spell model.
Gothe has been looking forward to this spell for a long time.
As long as you master it, it will not be the least bit easy to act on the snowfield in the future.
His luck was also good this time. After only one failure, Gothe successfully constructed the [Wild Astute] spell model in the sea of spells on the second try.
Looking at the new entries on the spell column, Gothe showed a satisfied smile.
"Let's see what changes there will be."
He focused his attention on the flashing yellow "+" sign behind [Wild Astute], and be decisive.
The origin of the [Snow Hyena] emerged from the "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow" in an instant, integrated into the newly constructed spell model, and quickly took root and sprouted, glowing with new brilliance.
At this moment, [Wild Astuteness] also becomes [Wild Astuteness +] (Change System, Level 1):
You call upon the Soul of the Wilderness to assist you.
Additional: The wilderness soul you summon will be able to advance by absorbing energy and gain new abilities.
At the same time, there was a lot of mysterious information that inexplicably appeared in Gothe's mind.
This information mainly explains the specific effects of the [Wild Alert+] change.
[Wild Astuteness] The soul of the wilderness summoned was originally an illusory soul that could only do the simple things introduced in the spell effects.
The change brought about by [Wild Agility+] is one and only one: the Soul of the Wild will be able to absorb energy and advance accordingly.
It can be advanced three times in total.
The first stage is to absorb energy of a certain nature to shape the illusory soul body into an entity.
This is the foundation of everything.
At this step, the nature of the energy absorbed by the Wild Soul will determine the direction of the Wild Soul's future capabilities.
For example, if the energy absorbed is the element of fire, the soul of the wilderness will be upgraded to the soul of the fire demon in the future, and the created entity will have abilities similar to those of the fire element, and the direction of its future abilities will also be towards the fire element.
But one thing to note is that the energy provided to the Wild Soul must be of the same nature.
If it is allowed to absorb energy of many different properties, the Soul of the Wilderness will become disordered due to the conflict in energy properties, and then collapse on its own.
The second stage is to condense the energy core.
As long as this stage of advancement is completed, the Wild Soul will have the ability to absorb free energy from the outside world on its own to complete its own advancement.
Somewhat similar to a mage's cultivation ability.
Otherwise, if you rely purely on external resources to supply the soul of the wilderness, even if you have mines at home, they will be exhausted sooner or later.
The third stage is the final form.
At this time, the Soul of the Wilderness already possesses an entity and an energy core. It can accumulate energy as time goes by and become stronger. As for the upper limit, it is still unknown.
"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow" seems to only give the Soul of the Wilderness the ability to absorb energy, but in fact it gives it infinite possible directions and an unlimited future. Gothe murmured to himself.
The combination of rare spells + Wind Spirit Moon Shadow can always bring him unexpected surprises.
However, there is a limitation, that is, from now on, the soul of the wilderness he summons will be the same one.
If it dies due to some accident, the next time the Soul of the Wild is summoned will be a "blank slate", which is equivalent to a "level reset", and everything will have to start from scratch.
Of course, this is not a restriction.
If the Soul of the Wild can be resurrected in its best condition infinitely, it would not be a spell, but a bug.
Frost Soul Gothe doesn’t seem to have to think too much about the advancement direction of Wilderness Soul.
Because the only choice before him was this.
After all, he is now in the North, and the most convenient energy for the Wilderness Soul to absorb is ice elemental energy.
