Chapter 469 Departure to the Blue Flame Islands
Mandora's Magic Eye, Mandora's Magic Eye...:...According to Duvina's words at the time, the abilities that Mandora's Magic Eye can awaken after upgrading vary from person to person.
However, it is not yet known whether this ability awakening is purely random, or whether several abilities are randomly obtained from a fixed ability library.
Because although Mandora's Tears are only a fourth-level magic plant, they are too rare, and it is not possible to obtain Mandora's Magic Eyes by taking Mandora's Tears. In fact, this is an extremely unlikely event.
Most people lose their vision after their eyesight is strengthened.
This kind of superposition of double low-probability events has led to the fact that there are too few people who have truly awakened Mandora's evil eye.
The number of samples is insufficient, which results in the development, understanding and recording of Mandora's Magic Eye being almost non-existent.
However, Gothe believes that the former is more likely,
But in short, after obtaining the ability of [Insight and Calculation], the necessity of mastering more knowledge has once again increased.
If the "local database" is useless, no matter how powerful the "algorithm" is, it will be empty.
In addition, Gothe was originally worried. After all, Mandora's Tears were only level four magic plants. So after upgrading Mandora's Magic Eye to level four, has it reached the upper limit of Mandora's Magic Eye's ability?
The fact is that although it is still unclear what the upper limit of Mandora's Magic Eye is, he can be sure that Mandora's Magic Eye still has room for improvement, and it can be further improved through the fourth-level ice marrow.
The harvest was full, but after the excitement, Gothe felt a sense of fatigue coming over him.
After being in seclusion for twelve hours at a stretch, absorbing ice marrow still consumes a lot of energy. Gothe immediately gave himself a [Comfortable Sleep+].
With the help of magic, he only had a light sleep for five hours, and he returned to the state of vigor and vigor.
Because the time for coming back this time is relatively tight, and several important things have been settled, it should have been better to leave as early as possible.
But because it takes forty-five days for astral teleportation to complete a recharge, and the charging days are only two days now, Gothe does not plan to teleport back to the Plantagenet Dynasty through the astral plane this time.
His idea this time was very simple. He and Lan Wen would go south on a merchant ship into the Plantagenet waters, and then sail straight to the City of Black Sails. One was that even if he teleported back to the Plantagenet Dynasty through the astral realm, he would still have to wait for "bodyguard" Lan Wen to take a boat from the north to Lagos City, and then take a boat to the City of Black Sails together.
It would be better to take a boat directly from the North to the City of Black Sails. This can even save several days.
Because the Blue Flame Islands, where the City of Black Sails is located, is due west of Dorne, if we had to dock at Lagos Port first, we would have to take a long detour.
Another point is that with Lan Wen, who is a fourth-ring iceborn mage, accompanying him, he can just transport a batch of high-value goods to the City of Black Sails.
Because of fear of attracting the attention of others, the value of goods shipped from the North to Lagos City has so far been restrained, and efforts have been made to avoid arousing the curiosity of others to trace the source of the goods, so as to follow the clues and find out the route to the North.
But in a no-nonsense zone like Black Sails City, the so-called "Sin City", no one will ever care about where your goods come from. They only care about whether your goods are worth money and whether there is a way to buy these goods from you for zero dollars.
Gothe's decision is definitely reasonable...:...but the matter of going to the City of Black Sails was also a temporary decision made by him.
Hence, it was no coincidence that at the time of his return, there were no merchant ships docked in Varar Bay.
Fortunately, it is expected that one of the merchant ships should return to Varar Bay within ten days.
This is also thanks to Sunaifa's foresight, which used most of the proceeds from the route this year to expand the shipyard and build ships.
· When there are more ships, the time is staggered, which makes the vacuum period without cargo ships docking in Varar Bay become extremely short.
In the absence of long-distance communication means, the specific return and entry time of the cargo ship is naturally impossible to determine.
What else can I do? Just one word and wait.
While waiting, Gaode did not take any time off. In addition to reviewing and processing some projects submitted by Sunaifa and putting forward some of his own suggestions for revision, he also focused on the practice of the two cultivation methods of "Aoki Immortality Sutra" and "Zhenbing Secret Biography".
The plan has not kept up with the changes. Originally, I was not very anxious about the progress of the "Secret of the Ice". I left it idle and let it improve on its own. However, because of the existence of the fourth-level Mandora Magic Eye, I now have to start to allocate some energy to "The Secret of the Ice".
The fourth-level Mandora Magic Eye is powerful, but the classic problem appears again - for Gaode, whose mage level is no more than the second level, its "energy consumption" is a bit too high.
It is affordable to rise but cannot afford to use it.
In this case, the most practical way is to improve the progress of the second practice method "The Secret of Zhenbing" as soon as possible.
Let alone rising to the fourth level, even if you just catch up with the practice progress of the "Green Wood Sutra" and reach the second level, it is a qualitative improvement for Gaode.
At that time, two magic crystals are in the mana pool, and his mana power is equivalent to twice that of other second-level mages.
Relatively speaking, it is enough to support the long-term use of the fourth-level Mandora Magic Eye.
After waiting for another two days, Gothe couldn't wait any longer and decided to leave for Valar Bay in advance.
After all, even if a merchant ship arrives at the port, it will take time for the news to come back, and it will take him a while to receive the news and then rush over.
Furora had already gone to Flora's Forest over there two days ago to start planting trees, which was related to Yugatha Sheila's promotion, so she just went there to take a look.
With this in mind, Gothe immediately informed Lan Wen and asked him to pack up and prepare to set off.
Him himself came to the core spiritual land where the ice jade sycamore tree was located.
Before leaving the north, he still had one important thing to do.
[Heart of the North] stores a large number of spell formulas accumulated by the Principality of Sidian over the past millennium, so Gaode no longer has to spend time to obtain spell formulas in the short term.
But obtaining the spell recipe and mastering the spell are two different things.
Even for Gaode, building a spell model does not require much effort.
Can collect spell and potion materials, but there is no shortcut to the step of preparing the corresponding spell and potion.
The materials required to prepare spells and potions are basically as follows: two main materials of the same level as the spell + 3 to 5 auxiliary materials of the next level.
The second-level spell is the second-level main material*2+the first-level main material*3"5.
The price fluctuates depending on the quantity of auxiliary materials and the scarcity of the material itself, which is roughly in the range of 180-200 gold.
Suddenly receiving such a large number of spell recipes, only a very small number of spell potions in these recipes will have duplicate materials. Most of the spell potions require completely different materials.
Through this calculation, if you want to prepare all the magic potions, you need to collect two hundred different magic materials, and the money required is more than 5,000 gorse coins.
The money issue is secondary. The worst thing is to sell a few more "leaves".
Mainly because of the two hundred different magic materials, it is definitely not something that can be completed in a short time, and Gothe has no illusions that it can be done quickly.
But don’t be too anxious.
As a sea sentinel mage, he has been traveling around for a long time.
The Plantagenet Dynasty is one of the two most prosperous countries on this continent, with abundant magic material resources.
As for the materials for second-level spells and potions, it would only take a little more time and energy, and I would definitely be able to get them together.
And it just so happened that Gothe was preparing to leave for the City of Black Sail. The magic materials resources in that place must be extremely complete. Perhaps this trip alone would allow him to collect most of the magic materials.
However, before that, he first had to keep these spell formulas in mind, especially the magic materials required for the spell potions.
Even though as a mage, his memory is much better than that of ordinary people, it is still very troublesome to memorize dozens of spell formulas in a short period of time.
However, for Gothe, it is not that difficult—the reason why spells are spells is that they can solve all problems.
If you can't, it means that you don't have enough spells, not that the spells are not good enough.
Under the ice jade sycamore tree.
Gaode raised the kettle and drank the liquid in one gulp.
The aroma of tangerine and pine needles mixed with a hint of metallic smell hits your nose.
A cool air rushed into his mind, his mind became extremely clear, and his temples were pounding.
The secret medicine of all things: [Super Memory] secret medicine.
Gothe, who entered the state of super memory, took out the access key to [Heart of the North], concentrated his mind, closed his eyes slightly, quickly connected to [Heart of the North], and entered the knowledge base.
An hour later, Gaode, who exited the [Super Memory] state, also exited the knowledge base of [Heart of the North].
All the second-level spell formulas accumulated by the Principality of Xidian are now firmly engraved in his mind, and he has even memorized the third-level spell formulas as well.
When Gothe arrived in Flora's Forest, Flora had already planted less than half of the magic tree seeds he brought back this time.
Planting trees is not difficult in itself.
Mainly using the mother energy of the earth to transform the frozen soil into the native soil of various magic tree species is a very draining matter for Flora's physical strength.
Flora's physical strength is closely related to the level of Yugatha Sheila, who is currently only a second-level magic plant.
In other words, Flora is still very weak.
Hence, the area of soil she can convert every day is relatively limited, and the progress of planting trees is therefore limited.
According to the current progress, and the time it takes for seeds to germinate, no matter how hurriedly he hurries, he will not be able to witness the advancement of Yugathira before leaving the northern border, which is also a big regret.
However, Gothe is still very much looking forward to the thought of meeting the third-level Yugatha Sheila next time he returns to the north.
After inspecting Flora's Forest and praising Flora for her "hard work", he headed towards the crude port under construction in Valar Bay.
Speaking of which, although he always landed at Varar Bay every time he returned to the north, Gaode had never been to the port project, which ranks among the top three in terms of importance and investment among all ongoing projects in Phoenix.
Every time he came back, he would check the changes in Yugatha Sheila and then go straight to Phoenix. It could be said that he had been to the port three times without ever entering, but he had never been to the scene. With the powerful far-sightedness of Mandola's magic eye, he still noticed the huge changes in the port.
But there are still many differences in the overall experience between watching from a distance and watching in person.
When the cold wind in the snowfields in the north is biting, it can hurt people's faces like a knife.
But the topography of Varar Bay is special, with two overhanging walls that cut off the ice-blade-like cold wind.
The warm currents meet under the sea water, and now there is the expanding Forest of Flora behind it.
So the whole environment here is extremely peaceful, with almost no wind.
Even if there is wind, it is an extremely warm sea breeze, carrying the refreshing smell of sea water and ice rocks, coupled with the vague fragrance of vegetation spreading from Flora Forest, which is in sharp contrast to the chill of other areas in the north.
Gaode walked along the winding ice plank road towards the port - there are almost no wood resources in the north, so the materials used in the construction of the entire port were all locally sourced, mainly ice and aggregate.
The water embankments at the pier are all made of ice.
The Iceborn mage carved the giant block of ice into an arch-bridge-like hollow structure, with anchor piles made of iron inlaid at the bottom, and the dock floor was paved with ice rock slabs solidified by spells.
The surface of the ice rock board is designed with particles to enhance friction. Not only does walking on it not cause slippage, but it is more solid than ordinary boards.
The mooring stone ring is replaced by a bone ring.
These bones are taken from leyline creatures, and their value and effectiveness are far superior to ordinary rocks.
gaode's evaluation of this port is that although it looks far less "exquisite" than the ports outside the northern border, the solid materials and practicality are not inferior at all, or even surpassed.
The cost is even higher. Many of the bones taken from earth-line creatures can be used to make extraordinary equipment in the outside world and are valuable, but here they are used to build a port.
If a foreign mage meets him, he will probably have to shout "Northern Coal Boss" a few times.
· During this period, there were no merchant ships docked at the port to unload and load goods. Workers at the port took advantage of the situation to start construction and continue the construction and expansion of the port.
This is the first time that the workers here saw Gaode coming to inspect, and they all saluted respectfully.
「My king!」*n.
Gaode walked around the port for a while and left again without staying too long, so as not to affect their normal work with his presence.
Luckily, on the second day after arriving at Varar Bay, the merchant ship that Gaud was waiting for sailed into Varar Bay and stopped at the port.
What is more coincidental is that it is the "Columbus" named by Gothe himself.
After knowing that Gothe was in a hurry, all the magicians from the escort team in Flora Forest personally took action to help unload and load the goods.
In less than an hour, they replaced the cargo on the Columbus.
After carrying the supplies that had been prepared long ago onto the ship, the Columbus, which had just sailed into Varar Bay, set sail again and sailed out of Varar Bay.
It's just that this time, there are two more people on the ship, Gothe and Lan Wen.
