Chapter 401 Mandatory Mission
Leaving the White Tower of Haiyuan, Gaode first went to the Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store, put his harvest in the store, and set the price at the same time.
Joel is from a farmer's family. Although he has been an apprentice in a big magic material store in the city for several years, the knowledge of magic materials is high-end knowledge and cannot be accessed by apprentices.
Hence, these pricing matters can only be done by Amap itself.
It is conceivable that the scarcity of talents is also a major problem for Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store to become bigger and stronger.
Either hire professionals at a high price, or find ways to train Joel and make him a professional.
Obviously, neither route is that easy.
Gaode just thought about it first and was not in a hurry.
Walmart Magic Materials Store’s current priority is to purchase tree species.
What is really regarded as an industry by Gaode is actually the Harland Shipyard in Lagos.
As long as the route between the Northern Territory and Byro County is opened, even if you need to be cautious at the beginning and not take too big steps, it is expected that the profits will be very considerable due to the huge potential trade demand between the two places.
As the goods in the store are being put on the shelves one after another, the magic material store has been obviously much busier recently.
· After becoming a little more famous in nearby neighborhoods, the business of purchasing tree species has become much more prosperous than before.
Gothe looked through Joel's account book.
During this period, the store received nearly thirty new tree species, but seven of them were duplicates of the tree species he acquired in Broster City.
This is an own incident caused by poor information.
Gaode specially made a list of existing tree species. Tree species that are on the list will not be purchased, and asked Joel to update them in real time. Every time a new tree species is purchased, it will be added to the list.
But he stayed in Broster City for three or four days, and the tree species he acquired during this period could not be updated on the list immediately.
Of course, this is all small money. Even though Gaode offered a high price of fifty coppers to purchase the tree species, this high price was only relative to the value of the tree species itself.
What surprises Gaode is that the Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store has been officially open for so long, and it is the first time that it has purchased magic tree species.
It is a first-level magic tree species: Firefly Willow. After the Firefly Willow matures, the ends of the hanging silver branches will expand into fruits.
The peel is as thin as cicada wings and is wrapped in luminescent liquid, which turns blue/gold with the alternation of day and night.
These luminous fluorescent liquids can be used to make magic potions, the most common of which is to make manifesting potions.
According to Joel, it was sold to him by a person who bought a first-order magic material in the store.
The other party originally came here to buy magic materials, and then saw that the price of magic tree seeds in Wal-Mart's magic material store was much higher than that of other stores, so he made the purchase.
This is why Gaode wants to purchase tree species in the form of a magic material store.
In most cases, magic tree species will only be in the hands of mages, so the store must first attract mages to patronize it, so that it is more likely to purchase magic tree species from them.
"Although the buzzing tree species is on the list, it will still be purchased at a price of fifty coppers for a long time." Gothe thought for a while and explained to Joel.
Humming resin is of great significance in his eyes and must be planted on a large scale.
He planted all the buzzing trees on the Esmere Lake side. There were a lot of them, but they were still far from enough to satisfy large-scale planting.
He believed that there must be buzzing trees elsewhere in Byro County, so as long as he purchased them at a high price, he should still be able to gain something.
"Okay, sir. Joel agreed quickly."
Then, Gothe checked the store's account book again, and after confirming that there were no problems, he ended the matter here.
He opened the newly obtained spell recipe.
【Identification [Rare]】(Prophecy, Level 1):
You designate an object and keep in contact with it during the casting process.
If the object is a supernatural item or other object with extraordinary power, you will know its attributes and usage, whether it requires synchronization, and if it is a charged item, you will also know the number of times it can be used.
You can also find out whether a spell is affecting the object, and which spell any possible spell effect came from. If the target was created by a spell, you will know which spell it came from.
If the item you come into contact with is an extraordinary material, you will be able to know its level.
If you are in contact with a creature while you are casting a spell, you will know whether it is affected by the spell and the specific spell that caused the effect.
Spell potion: a faded bookworm, mirrorite powder..:.:
After writing down the main and auxiliary materials needed for the magic potion, Gothe went out and took a carriage and went straight to Kensington to buy the materials.
Other materials were readily available, but Faded Bookworm was a very unpopular material.
This is a translucent worm that feeds on expired ink of ancient books. It only exists in ancient books and is not widely used, so it is not common.
After Goode inquired in several potion stores to no avail, he had no choice but to find a larger and reputable potion store and place a pre-order.
The staff carefully recorded his request and promised to notify him as soon as the goods were available.
In the following time, Gothe focused his main energy on practice, and at the same time continued to improve his swordsmanship at Collingwood Academy.
As the Sea Sentinel's martial arts studio, its "teachers" are extremely powerful. Whether you are starting out or improving, as long as you have money, you can find a corresponding instructor to teach you.
Most of the remaining free time, Gaode spent in the library of Haiyuan White Tower, absorbing all kinds of knowledge like a sponge.
With the strong background of Sea Sentinel, even the free collection of books open to trainee mages is much more precious and rare than those in Cyrus Magic Academy.
The longer he lives in this world, the more Gaode will realize the importance of knowledge.
Not only the knowledge of mages, but also the knowledge of country governance, city management, business, etc., are all urgently needed for him now.
A mage, by virtue of his own ability and status, has access to too many areas.
Fortunately, mages have extremely long lifespans and their memory is much better than ordinary people, allowing them to adapt to this kind of multi-field learning.
Every time after reading a book in the library, Gaode would go to the hall to see if there were any tasks he could take on.
It seems that I have been having bad luck recently, and I have never encountered any tasks that I can take on.
But Gao De’s mentality is very calm.
There are still 7 drops of liquid mana left before the first ring is completed. This will take more than half a year, so there is still time.
Besides, he is still young now. If by then, his spell library has not reached a satisfactory amount, the worst he can do is stop for half a year or a year.
Judging from the long life he gained after practicing the "Green Wood Sutra", this year is really nothing.
Of course, for Gothe's current age, the sooner he is promoted to a second-level mage, the more impressive his resume in the Sea Sentinels will be:
There is not much difference between a fifty-year-old second-level mage and a fifty-one-year-old second-level mage, but there is still a gap between a sixteen-year-old and a seventeen-year-old second-level mage.
On the other hand, the bookworm that Gothe ordered in the magic material store has not arrived yet.
He had no choice but to wait slowly.
Just like this, another seven or eight days passed.
There is good news.
The half-month observation period for the [Hidden Danger of Crab Disaster] task has ended and it has been confirmed to have been completed.
Following this, six third-class merits arrived.
After all calculations, the military merit in Gaode's hands is third-class merit*7.
The magic potion of [Appraisal Technique] has not yet arrived, so he simply went to the supplies store to spend some money, exchanging all the military merits he had just received into spell formulas.
This also caused Neil to look at him more and more strangely.
This is the first time he has seen a mage like Gothe who exchanges all his military merits for spell formulas in so many years of working in the supplies department.
Seven third-level skills were finally exchanged for two ordinary first-level spell formulas: [Entangle] and [Burning Hands]. The former has three third-level skills, and the latter has four.
[Entangle] (Transformation, 1st level): This spell causes tall grass, weeds, and other plants to entangle creatures that want to enter or are within the area. The creatures will be entangled, and the entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain.
If the area is covered with thorns or other similar plants, creatures in the area will not only be entangled but also suffer damage.
[Burning Hands] (Evocation, 1st Ring):
Cone-shaped scorching flames spurt out from your fingertips. All creatures within the area of the flames take fire damage, and if the flames come into contact with combustible materials, they will burn.
One is a group control spell, which is somewhat similar to [Tidal Net]. It can be called the land version of [Tidal Net]. Of course, it is a low-end version.
After all, the casting of [Entanglement] has higher requirements on natural conditions. For example, in cities, there is almost no place for it.
It’s no wonder that it is a common spell, but [Tidal Net] is listed as a rare spell.
【Burning Hands】is a group damage spell.
This is Gaode's current weakness. He lacks effective one-ring group attack methods.
In addition, in the low-level stage, the applicability of fire element spells is always wider, so the priority of [Burning Hand]
is ranked very high by Gothic.
The main and auxiliary materials required for the spell potions of these two spells are relatively common, and Gaode bought them easily.
This is an advantage of common spells over rare spells: most of the time, the materials required for spell potions of common spells are easier to obtain.
The reason is also very simple. The threshold for obtaining ordinary spells is lower, there will be more learners, and the demand for magic potions will be greater.
Demand determines the market, which is an eternal truth.
Dorne is the capital of Byro County after all, so the day after the military achievements were received, the bookworm that Gothe had ordered for a long time finally arrived.
As soon as the bookworm got it, he immediately prepared the corresponding magic potion and drank it in one gulp.
The mental power at the second level, coupled with the original spell model construction method, makes it easy for him to learn first-level spells.
Three one-level spells, it only took him two days to build all the spell models.
Looking at his remaining one-ring original number of "4", Gothe thought for a moment, took out some, and clicked on the [
Identification Technique].
This is not just because it is a rare spell.
[Identification] can even be called the spell with the longest sustainability among the first-level rare spells.
Even if it reaches the fifth or sixth level, the mage will still use this spell frequently.
It is because of this that even Gothic cannot be stingy with it.
Furthermore, this spell is indeed very practical.
First of all, the most common and basic use of this spell is to determine the level of extraordinary materials.
Although the mage can roughly judge the level of the material based on the magic power contained in it, there is generally no error.
But this can be faked.
Some mages who are good at this have the ability to disguise low-level extraordinary materials as higher-level extraordinary materials and resell them at a high price.
If you want to see through this kind of scam, you must either have enough knowledge to be able to spot the fraud, or you must be too powerful and directly use the [Appraisal Technique] to conduct an appraisal.
In a mage's life span of hundreds or even thousands of years, there must be many transactions with others.
The necessity of mastering such a spell can be imagined.
In addition, after an accident (killing someone), you get some unclear equipment, such as a mysterious sword. Using appraisal technology, you can know whether the sword has extraordinary power, whether it has special abilities, whether it is cursed, etc., which is also a must-have to prevent pitfalls.
Moreover, many extraordinary items require synchronization to exert their full power.
The so-called synchronization actually means that some extraordinary items need to be activated in a special way in order to exert their full power.
The most common thing is that some family heirlooms that have been passed down for a long time often require secret magic seals to activate;
Or some extraordinary holy light objects need to absorb sunlight at dawn to fully release their power.
And whether synchronization is required, other people generally cannot know directly except the creator.
It would be a pity to obtain an extraordinary item but not realize its true power because you don't know that it needs synchronization.
Finally, even if you encounter a creature controlled by a strange spell, you can quickly determine what spell it has been controlled by using the identification technique, so that you can quickly find a way to remove it.
[Identification] itself is not an attack spell, but for mages, its functionality is better than most attack spells, which is why it is on the list of rare spells.
The origin of the ring is -1 again.
After a familiar "cut scene", the spell model of [Identification] extended many new branches, and the changes were far greater than other one-level spells with added points.
[Identification + [Rare]] (Prophecy, 1st level): You designate an object and keep in contact with it during the casting process, :.:
Additional: When the item is a supernatural item that requires synchronization or other objects with extraordinary power, you will be able to know its synchronization method (the probability depends largely on Your own level of extraordinary knowledge);
When the item is made of extraordinary materials, you will be able to sense certain properties of it;
The higher the level of extraordinary items, the more mana it will cost to identify them.
Comprehensive enhancement, this enhancement is equivalent to adding a "mod" to the spell.
Gaode immediately went to the Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store to preliminarily test the effect of [Identification +].
He cast [Identification Technique+] on the scales of the black-winged scale snake that he just got back some time ago.
After consuming two drops of liquid mana, some information emerged from his mind.
Second-level extraordinary material...sturdy...water-resistant...
Gothe had just returned to the Vanzolen District from the Wal-Mart magic material store. Before he entered the dormitory, two Sea Sentinel staff members were already running towards him eagerly. A few steps away, they shouted loudly: "Mage Gothe!"
"What's wrong?" He stopped and looked confused.
"Emergency mandatory mission."
h "Auckland City has been hit by a huge cyclone. The situation is not optimistic. All Sea Sentinel mages currently on standby in Dorne are required to go to Auckland City immediately to participate in the disaster relief operation without delay!"
