Chapter 377 Three Drops of Spiritual Essence
In terms of thickness alone, the exchange list for second-class merit is actually almost the same as the exchange list for third-class merit.
It means that there is not much difference in quantity between the two, the difference is only in quality.
Gaode’s first concern is still the category of spell formulas.
He first went through the catalog, and soon discovered the difference:
The spell formulas on the third-level merit exchange list are all ordinary spells, and the highest level of the spells is limited to the third level.
The second-class merit exchange list is a spell formula that can be exchanged for fourth- and fifth-level skills.
In addition, the first-level spells and second-level spells listed on the second-level skill list are both rare spells.
In fact, by pushing it like this, Gaode can basically determine the level of the spell formula on the first-class merit exchange list:
Rare spell formulas of fourth and fifth rings.
Including the [Spell Constancy] that he needs most, it is very likely that it will also appear on the first-class merit exchange list.
As for whether there is a sixth-level spell formula, it is hard to say.
This level is too high. According to Gaode's guess, there may not necessarily be six-ring mages in the entire Sea Sentinel. Even if there are, there won't be too many.
His thoughts turned around, Gaode had already turned to the spell page, and browsed in detail the rare spells listed above:
【Know yourself and know the enemy】, [Legend of the Marksman], [Long-distance shooting], [Fast grain]
In total, there are more than a dozen of them, and the military merits required for redemption are all unified second-class merit*1.
This is the terrifying background of the Sea Sentinel or the Plantagenet Dynasty.
Gothe's primary target was definitely attack spells, but his plan could not keep up with the changes. The emergence of a special non-attack spell made him unable to take his eyes away.
[Magic Berry Spell [Rare]] (Change System, Level 1):
Up to 10 berries appear in your hand. The fruits are full of magic for the duration of the spell. Each transformed berry can provide a normal meal of nutrition for a medium-sized creature.
While eating berries, you will also get a weak healing effect. In any 24 hours, the healing effects obtained through the magic berry spell can take effect up to 8 times.
The created berries lose their potency if not eaten within 24 hours of the spell being cast.
[Military merit required for exchange: second-class merit*2]
It can be called an invincible logistics spell. Combined with [Water Making Technique], you can achieve true self-sufficiency.
While having invincible food value and economic value, it also has a weak therapeutic effect.
A first-level spell that can be considered flawless.
Similarly, the military merit required to redeem [Magic Berry Spell] is twice that of other rare spells.
But there is nothing to say, let alone twice, even if it is five times or ten times, you must get this spell.
Huh~
Gaode closed the military merit exchange list.
His biggest feeling now is: Sea Sentinel really has too many good things, and he wants even more, and the military merit is simply not enough!
No wonder Melia told him at the beginning that the Sea Sentinel Mage was very active in taking on tasks, so in most cases the tasks had to be "robbed" and were very involved.
Just putting this exchange list here is equivalent to a powerful stimulant, enough to make everyone work hard.
For example, Gothe has already developed an urge to take on tasks and earn merit.
After a moment of impatient patience, he had already picked out the treasures he needed to exchange.
【Magic Berry Technique】(second-class skill*2),【Magic Missile】(third-class skill*4),【Blade of Heavy Pressure】(third-class skill*3),【Tireless Chaser】(third-class skill*2).
There are four spell recipes in total, which together require: second-class skill*2, third-class skill*9.
He has in his hand: second-class merit*3, third-class merit*2.
10 third-class work cannot be combined into one second-class work, but one second-class work can be decomposed into 10 third-class work.
Of course, once it is decomposed, there is no way to collect ten third-class work and then recombine it with the original second-class work.
Once disassembled, it cannot be returned or exchanged.
After exchanging in this way, there will be third-class merit*3 left.
Gaode thought for a while, and then selected an attack spell from the third-level merit exchange list that happened to require three third-level merits.
[Witchcraft Arrow] (Energy Department, 1st level):
A blue energy spear wrapped with shattering magic is shot at a creature within the casting range, performing a long-range spell attack on the target creature.
If you hit, the target takes lightning damage and a lasting arc of lightning is generated between you and the target. During the duration of the spell (one minute), you can cause another equal amount of lightning damage to the target through this lightning arc every 6 seconds.
The spell ends if you do anything else.
In addition, the spell ends if the target leaves the spell's casting range or is under full cover from you.
A very special attack spell. Theoretically, the total damage a spell can cause can reach 11 times that of ordinary first-level spells.
Of course, it’s just a theory.
In most cases, no one will stand still and give you electricity.
There are 5 spell formulas in total, which is enough to use up all the military merit earned this time.
Haiyuan White Tower, Materials Department.
"Master Gaode, are you sure? Second-class merit is rare. Among our sea sentries, I have never seen anyone break it open and use it as a third-class merit."
Mage Neil couldn't help but remind him after hearing Gothe's request for exchange.
Second-class merit is rare. In addition to strength, it also requires a bit of luck. It is not something you can get by just thinking.
This is the first time he has seen Gaode's method of using military power.
If military merit is not enough at the moment, everyone's choice is to hurry up and work hard for a few more months, and do the mission well to earn merit.
Humbling the second-class power into a third-class one is something only a prodigal would do.
"I think what you want to change is the spell formula. To master a spell, it takes less than half a year. Even if you are extremely talented, it will still take two or three months, right?"
"So why do you have to worry, why not change the [Magic Berry Technique] and [Untiring Pursuit] first, and then change the remaining three spell formulas after the third-level skill is enough." Master Neil put forward his own suggestion.
Under normal circumstances, his proposal is reasonable.
But unfortunately, Gaode is not very "normal".
"No, just leave it like this." Gothe insisted.
It’s not that he doesn’t know the value of second-class merit, but he doesn’t care about it.
In his opinion, converting military merit into one's own combat power is the most correct choice.
The improvement in combat power will also help one achieve greater success.
"Second-class merit, I will get it again soon." Faced with Master Neil's puzzled gaze, Gothe grinned and explained the reason why he did this.
Master Neil originally wanted to say something to persuade Gothe, but when he heard what he said, all his words were suddenly stuck in his throat.
He wanted to say that second-class merit is not that good.
But he also remembered that Gao De had only served as a sentinel for more than three months. This was his first mission, and he had already received three second-class awards.
For Gothe, it seems that it may not be that difficult?
"You are this one" After a moment of silence, Old Neil gave Gothe a thumbs up and said seriously: "I'm looking forward to your future performance."
He recorded Gothe's exchange request in detail.
"It takes time to prepare things like magic plants, but spell formulas are not so troublesome," he said while pushing the exchange form to Gaode: "See if there are any problems. If there are no problems, just sign."
Gaode glanced at it, checked that it was correct, and then signed his name.
"Wait a moment." Master Neil took back the exchange order, reached out and pressed a "button" on the table. After a while, another staff member hurried in.
About twenty minutes later, the staff member re-entered the room with the exchange form.
This time, there is another stamp in the lower right corner of the exchange order.
"Mage Neil, Captain Merrick stamped and confirmed."
Mage Neil took the exchange order, thanked him, and solemnly put the exchange order into the drawer. Then he stood up, opened the secret door, and walked into the treasure house at the rear.
Not long after, he came out with the five spell formulas needed by Gothe and handed them to Gothe.
After getting the spell formula, Gothe immediately went to the major magic material stores in the city to buy the main and auxiliary materials needed for the magic potion.
loguedie’’ There are five spell recipes, which together require a total of twenty-one different materials.
Even though Dorne is so prosperous and has a wide range of resources, Gothe also went to three magic material stores to get it together.
Among them, Thunderbolt Wood and Earth Crystal Liquid are both relatively rare and scarce first-order materials. The price premium was 30% to 40%, and a total of 226 Plantagenet coins were sold.
He turned around and bought a small pot before returning to the "dormitory" - the dormitory provided by the Sea Sentinel did not include a kitchen.
Using this small pot, Gothe "cooked" all five magic potions and drank them all in one gulp.
[Life span: 15/335
Mental power: 200
Mana: 40 drops of liquid
One-ring source: 4]
This is Gaode's current "basic value".
A very embarrassing point:
One source ring is not enough.
Because of the help of Phoenix's hunter mage, Gothe gained nearly 20 points of first-level origin in a short period of time.
With such a "huge sum" of money in hand, he couldn't help but spend a lot of money.
任何一环法术，只要掌握，就一个字：
「加！」
然后，现在就陷入本源赤字的窘境之中。
"Take a little time to rest and settle down, and continue to do the task. You can't lie down any more." Gaode made a decision.
To others, the main purpose of doing tasks is to earn military merit.
But for Gaode, while earning military merit, he is also accumulating his roots. Adding the two together, it is a huge win.
The more you do, the more you win!
Entering the meditation room, Gaode first started the daily practice and magic network construction (taking drugs).
It was dinner time after all this. After going out to the "canteen" to have a meal, Gothe made a detour and went straight to the Collingwood Art Museum.
Going out to perform tasks is a good opportunity for practical combat and exercise.
At the same time, he can also well discover his own shortcomings or areas that need to be supplemented, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and improve his combat system.
The area that Gaode needs to make up the most right now is "sword skills."
Humiliation does not require advanced sword skills. As long as he can reach the "entry" level, his combat power will be greatly improved.
For sword skills, it is not too difficult to get started.
Highly cost-effective.
Collingwood Arts Center is naturally led by a swordsmanship instructor.
In the eyes of most people, sword skills are relatively high-end social activities and skill training.
But that is for ordinary people.
Sword skills are only extraordinary powers after all, so the tuition fee is not that expensive. One class costs 5 Silver Dragons and lasts 1-2 hours.
According to the swordsmanship instructor, mages have the ability to perceive accurately and control their bodies far better than ordinary people. Everyone is considered to be gifted to learn this mundane skill. Under normal circumstances, you can get started in about a hundred lessons.
Hundred lessons are only 50 gorse coins, which is a great deal.
There’s nothing to say, just learn it and that’s it!
Half a month passed quickly.
With Gao Deqin's diligent "precipitation", the construction of Leomeng's magic network has reached half of its progress.
And the spell models corresponding to the five newly acquired spells were constructed early on, given the limit-breaking mental strength.
But because of the current shortage of resources, Gothe can only resume diligence and frugality, and for the time being only adds points to the most important [Magic Berry Technique] and [Magic Missile].
【Magic Berry Spell+】：
Additional: The berries created by this spell will have a strong attraction to animals.
【Magic Missile+】：
Additional: If all three darts hit the same target, a force field shock will be caused, and the target will be knocked back and pushed away a short distance.
Magic Missiles has an additional control effect, and the Divine Berry Technique has further expanded its applicability, both of which are extremely real improvements.
There are still two points of origin left, so Gaode will save them for rare spells that he may master in the future.
Always leave something to the bottom.
Lest you encounter the spell you most want to add at the age when you have the least originality, and have no regrets.
On the other hand, while busy practicing, Gothe also renovated the old Harlem grocery store, recruited employees, and finally opened the magic material store he had planned for a long time yesterday.
This was his first estate in Dorne, and it was also his first public estate in the Plantagenet Dynasty.
A small magic material store.
「Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store」.
This is the name Gaode gave it.
Not for prank.
It's just that people are like this. If you arrive in a strange place and it is difficult to return to your hometown, then you will always want to create some familiar things in this strange place and add some shadow of your hometown.
However, Gothe currently does not have many human resources in Dorne City, so he has no channels to obtain stable and preferential magic materials.
Hence, the current Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store can only be considered to be in a trial operation state, focusing on purchasing magic materials, especially tree species and magic tree species.
In addition, it is a new store and there are no old customers, so the business is very poor.
Of course, Gaode is not in a hurry.
As long as this magic material store can help him purchase tree species, he has achieved his goal.
The rest are actually just additions.
It’s an unexpected blessing to be able to make it big, but if you can’t, it doesn’t matter.
Let’s do this for now, it’s okay to lose money.
Hunting for the next time he returns to the North, he will bring a large number of magic materials over. By then, he will focus on a polar magic material, which can be regarded as a new track, and maybe it will become prosperous.
Bang bang.
As usual, after finishing the day's practice, Gao De was about to go to the gym to take sword skills lessons when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Gaode opened the door.
Standing outside the door is a mage wearing a sea sentry uniform. He is older and looks quite serious.
“Sir, are you here to see me?” Gothe asked.
———He is now a second-class trainee mage, the bottom among the bottom, and everyone is a superior to him.
"Master Gothe, I am Sergeant Lupin. I came to you on the order of Captain Merrick this time mainly for one thing."
As he spoke, he took out an extremely delicate crystal bottle from his arms and handed it to Gothe.
Through the transparent bottle, Gaode could see that there were three drops of viscous silver-blue gel inside.
"This is?"
Gothe stretched out his hand to take the crystal bottle, feeling confused in his heart.
"This is the spirit essence... Master Gaode, you played a great role in the Makoko water beast incident. According to the rules, after the Sea Sentinel raided the Embroidered Nail Gang and confiscated all their property, they will take a small part of it and give it to you as an additional reward." Master Lu Ping explained patiently.
