656 Demonstration ability
Beta slept in bed, and I have to say that Nazette is very generous. The house where Beta lives is not too large, but it is more than enough to live alone. Moreover, the quality of life here is quite high, whether it is furniture, tableware, or bedding, all of them are boutique.
Even fresh fruits are placed on the table in the center of the house.
Beta was lying on the bed while eating fruit. Of course, he felt Nadette's vigilance against him and Heidi's scrutiny of himself. In his opinion, this is a normal thing. If a newcomer wants to fully integrate into another group, he must go through various tests and great efforts.
While eating fruit, he thought about his future actions and things he should pay attention to. After eating, he stood up and began to decorate the house. He took out magic materials from the mansion space and began to make simple magic circles and magic scrolls.
The magical light flashed in the room from time to time.
Not long after, a knock sounded. Beta opened the door and found that Heidi was standing outside the door.
She looked strange: "What are you doing in the room? We feel the extremely unstable magic fluctuations."
"Oh, I'm doing a magic test." Beta opened the door wide, allowing Heidi to see the whole picture in his room: "There may be some small magic echoes, which is indeed noise to you, I'm sorry. I will set up a magic barrier later to prevent it from affecting you."
"You work so hard, no wonder you have this strength at a young age." Haidi looked at the magical pattern in the room with magic luster, and she laughed dryly: "I heard that it is easy for magicians to do experiments. Can you understand us?"
In this world, it is very common for magicians to do experiments and blow up the surroundings. The most exaggerated time was when a magic master was conducting a magic experiment, and accidentally opened the portal of the underworld. Not only did the dark elements invade the main world in large numbers, but even the undead creatures in the underworld ran out, thousands of miles away.
Of course, this is an exaggeration, just a bunch of undead creatures occupy a plain of about 500 square kilometers for more than ten days.
But this can still show that once a magician fails his magic test, it will generally cause great disasters.
It is reasonable that Haidi is worried.
Beta thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I won't do the experiment, just make some ordinary magic scrolls."
Heidi originally wanted to say that it was best not to do the scroll, but after thinking about it, he swallowed this back into his stomach. After all, Cook had already taken a step back, and they were not very familiar with each other. If they were more and more eager, they might make each other unhappy.
"By the way, if you are willing to make some magic scrolls and distribute them to everyone, you can ask the city lord to reimburse the materials you need. At the same time, you can also get some support."
Anyone hopes that he has one or two practical magic scrolls to defend himself. Although there was a spellcaster in the City Lord's mansion before, Perth, he is not good at making scrolls. At the strong request of the City Lord, he has tried it, but even the success rate of the primary magic scroll is less than 30%, which is a waste of magic materials.
If this young man is good at making scrolls, it would be a good thing for them.
When Beta heard this, he became active.
Beta is very rich now... but sometimes, even if you have money, you can't buy magic materials, because some rare or very practical magic village materials are all non-selling items. Just like Beta, he will not casually dig up the magic materials under the ground of Wojin City now.
His success rate in making magic scrolls was almost 100%, but he could deliberately press down his success and take the opportunity to blackmail some materials. And most importantly, if there are many scrolls, the city lord will have another reward.
Echo City is a great city, a great city of Francis. Beta is sure that Holeven's king is not as good as Nadette in terms of life and enjoyment. It should be no big problem to hack a batch of magic materials from here.
If other people become popes, they will hold their own identity and disdain to do such things. But Beta never had that idea, and his essence is still a player. It is already an instinct for players to use the "question loophole" to try their best to gain more benefits from NPC.
"Can Ms. Haidi help me convey to the city lord?" Beta smiled and said, "I have a lot of experience in making magic scrolls."
Heidi glanced at him deeply: "Okay, no problem."
Then the two separated, Beta returned to the room and continued to study the magic patterns, but the movement was much smaller.
Haidi went down the third floor and came to the city lord's study again. After saying Beta's words, Nadette was extremely surprised: "Oh, that young man has this ability? If he hadn't told lies, he didn't need him to propose marriage to me in person. I myself want to marry my daughter to him."
Haidi smiled, not knowing what he was laughing at: "City Lord, I brought the words to you. I agree or not, that's your business."
After saying that, Heidi turned around and wanted to leave, Nadette grabbed her: "Wait, I just happened to have some time to come here later."
Haidi smiled: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Otilia?"
"She knew it a long time ago, but she just didn't want to pay attention to us." Nadette pulled Hydie into her arms: "She is much more sensible now and should be able to understand us."
Beta waited in his room for almost an hour before Heidi knocked on his door again.
Beta, who was quite sensitive, found that Heidi had changed her clothes and seemed to have taken a shower. As a person who had experienced many battles, Beta naturally understood what might have happened to her. He just raised his eyebrows and had no special thoughts.
Behind Heidi, there were six guards, each of them holding a heavy box.
"This is the magic material that the city lord has sent you. It has it in the city lord's mansion. It's more or less for you. How many magic scrolls can be made depends on your own ability."
Haidi made a gesture and several guards put the box into the room.
"Don't be too tired, because the mission may start soon."
Heidi smiled kindly, then walked past Beta and brought out a fragrant scent after bathing.
Beta closed the door, opened six boxes one after another, and then tickled.
"This is just a small part of magical materials. The Kingdom of Francis is really worthy of being a great country, and the Echo City is worthy of being a big city."
That being said, Beta didn't have much surprise. After all, he had long known that a country with a large size, as long as it develops normally, small countries will never be able to match it.
For example, the basic industrial output value of the Rabbit Kingdom on Earth is equivalent to the GDP of the Southern Monkey Kingdom for the whole year. The seven-day New Year holiday in the Rabbit Kingdom, and all factories are suspended during holidays. The basic industrial output value lost in these seven days is almost equivalent to the GDP of the three Southern Monkey Kingdoms for the whole year. The gap is so big that it makes people feel extremely incredible.
The comparison between Holevin and the Francis is almost the comparison between the Southern Monkey Kingdom and the Rabbit Kingdom.
The types and quantities of magic materials contained in the six boxes were different. Beta looked at it and found that in addition to the dozens of common magic materials, there were actually several materials that were relatively rare in Holevin. His eyes lit up and he immediately felt that this time he had gained a lot.
He immediately made a few simple magic scrolls and secretly put away a small part of the magic materials. These disappeared materials were considered to be the loss after his "failed production".
During this process, the waiter from the City Lord's Mansion brought him a dinner, which was very rich. Not only did the vegetarian combination properly, it tasted good, and there was even a soup.
Beta finished all the food in accordance with the principle of not wasting it. After a while, the waiter knocked in and took the tableware away to clean it.
He made a few more scrolls... Beta deliberately made these newly made scrolls not so perfect. After all, he is now a master-level spell caster. The perfectly made scrolls are naturally at the master level. When others use them, they will feel something is wrong.
An imperfect scroll will reduce the power and effect of the magic scroll. As long as it is lower than the master level, other people will naturally not feel anything unusual when using it.
It was already late at night, but looking down from the balcony on the third floor of the city lord's mansion, the huge Echo City was still brightly lit. The envoy lived halfway up the mountain, and Beta could also hear the noise of the downtown city coming from a distance.
One day, Wojin City will be as lively and prosperous as this.
Beta patted the railings of the balcony. Just as he was about to rest, he heard a rapid knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw that it was a young man named Robben.
He said with a serious look on his face: "Go to the first floor lobby and gather, the mission is about to begin."
Beta nodded, returned to the house, packed the scroll on the table with a tabletop, and carried it out.
Robben looked at Beta in surprise, but said nothing, followed the ligament down the stairs.
Except for the two of them, the others had already stayed in the hall. They looked a little strange when they saw Beta.
"His Excellency Cook, haven't I asked you to notify you that you will gather at this time?" Nadette was wearing black leather armor and a little unhappy expression on his face: "You ignored my orders for the first time, right?"
Beta shrugged helplessly: "The problem is that no one has notified me."
Haidi yelled and said embarrassedly: "I forgot."
Nadette was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what was going on. He and Heidi were too excited in the study and dirty Heidi's clothes. After Heidi took a shower, he forgot to notify Beta of the exact time.
Nadette instantly figured out what was going on, coughed gently, and said, "Okay, I won't talk about this problem for now."
Beta placed the scroll in his hand on the table. When everyone saw it, their faces were a little happy.
The city lord sent Beta magic materials, which many people knew about. They also looked forward to Beta giving them a little surprise, but they did not expect that the surprise would come so quickly.
There are fourteen scrolls on this table, each containing a very rich magic fluctuation.
The spell's name was written on the scroll, and Nadette checked it one by one.
"Big Fireball Technique, Light Acuity Technique, Brute Force Technique, Treatment of Intermediate Injury, Ranged Attack Defense..."
Every time he said the name of a spell, the professions around him had a surprise on his face. These were very practical magic. Any scroll could sell at least three or more gold coins in the market. The scroll to treat intermediate injuries could even be sold for six gold coins.
Nadette showed a surprised expression: "Honor Cook, it's so amazing! How successful are you in making the scroll?"
"Under normal circumstances, about 60%." Beta thought for a while and said, "If there is an apprentice assistant, it can reach about 70%.
Beta mentioned the apprentice assistant is the master-apprentice relationship between major magic towers. He said this just to add some persuasion to his fictional background. Since Nadé Pedal Heidi is testing him, he will definitely send someone to Lago County to lay down his background.
Everyone almost sniffed the air, and then all looked at another spellcaster present, Perth.
Perth's gloomy face was rare, and his success rate in making magic scrolls was less than 30%. The gap between the two sides' talent in this area was a bit scary.
"There are no casters in the first and fourth groups, and there is one missing person. You can divide these scrolls evenly. Arnold, you choose seven first."
"Cha, then I'm not polite." Berserker Arnold still chose a few scrolls suitable for his team, and the rest naturally belonged to the fourth team.
"Hisser Cook, this reel will be recorded in your contribution points for the time being. By the end of the month, additional gold coins will be distributed together." Nadette looked at Beta and seemed very happy: "You have made so many reels, so you must be very tired, otherwise you won't participate in the action tonight?"
Beta waved his hand and said a lie: "It doesn't matter. When I was studying in the Red Magic Tower, I had been making magic scrolls for my mentors for the past two years. This workload was incomparable to that time."
No wonder... everyone had a clear expression, it turned out to be taught by a regular magician.
By the way, Perth is a wild mage...that is, a self-taught magician.
The academic school is synonymous with ‘professional’ in any world. Perth used to be a little jealous of Beta. After all, Beta is a warlock and his talent is so good. He feels that he lost at the starting line of birth. But now Beta says that he has studied in the Magic Tower, so the situation is different.
Having been to school and not to school... is different in terms of personality.
"That's OK." Nadette nodded at Beta with approval: "The undercover we arranged in the Temple of Light will disappear, and Archbishop Payne will leave quietly at night..."
Nadette finished his action policy and drew the routes of each group of actions on the map. After confirming that everyone had recorded their responsibilities, he greeted Heidi and whispered: "When you take action later, please pay attention to protecting Cook. If something happens, give priority to protecting his life."
Haidi smiled: "Has you become a loving talent?"
"Yes. Such a capable young nobleman, diligent and solid, is really rare. He can help him one by one." Nadette smiled: "But I didn't trust him completely. In the end, I have to see the news that came back from Lago County five days later."
