Finally, the last magic left is to summon the golem. This is known as the most difficult and simplest among the apprentice-level magic.
There are such disparate evaluations because the essence of this magic is to use sacrifice as reward in exchange for short-term allegiance under the transaction of alien creatures. The common currency in alien planes is magic stones containing energy.
.Even if it is just some magic stone powder, it is easy to summon a low-level clay puppet.
But if you want to rely purely on your own magic power to summon, the difficulty will be different. The correct spell--even a mistake of one syllable is not allowed--, the correct target--if you summon an elemental prince-level existence
, if you don’t have the ability to control it, it is a dead end──, you must also cooperate with protective magic──to prevent yourself from being hit by the energy of the alien plane and causing damage──, only then can you summon a demon doll. And you must ensure your own
The mana is enough to last until the end of the spell, otherwise it is self-inflicted to be drained.
Amidst all the foreseeable difficulties, Kaya did not ask for extra help. She just calmed down, took a few deep breaths, wiped the sweat from her hands on her robe, and then lightly twisted the short wand.
Get ready for the final cast.
The suppressed spells echoed in the ears, and the short wand drew mysterious patterns one after another in the air. The magic traces were intertwined in the air, eroding deeper into the world. In the dark, it seemed that I heard something in the distance.
The response, every sound, revealed the emotion of longing.
The inspector on the side couldn't help but think, this is the most dangerous moment. Because in those responses, there may be the voice of the devil or the inhabitants of the abyss, waiting for the opportunity to come to the world. One mistake, and the death of the caster may be
It can only be regarded as a trivial matter. There is no upper limit to the scale of damage.
The tone suddenly rose, and the rapid incantation sound seemed to be negotiating with the existence in the dark, and the summons reached the final stage.
The inspector quietly activated several protective magics and once again confirmed that all the equipment on his body was in position and ready to work at any time. He even secretly activated a confidential function in the assessment room, the large magic circle of the exile spell. Then
It is a magic used to instantly throw everything in the assessment room into an unknown plane before an uncontrollable crisis situation expands.
As for other unrelated people within the scope, I can only say sorry. This is a secret function that only the owner of the West Tower, the president of the association and the inspectors know, and everyone hopes that they will never use it.
.
The spell is about to enter its final stage, and the crowd of spectators is craning their necks. No matter what the outcome is, it will become a topic of conversation for a long time. But the great magician as the inspector is on tenterhooks, and has not heard of it for a long time.
Someone was playing summons like this. Thinking of the worst outcome, he couldn't remain calm as usual.
"Answer my call and come to this world to obey my orders, Jerome."
Jerome? Who? That was the only question in the inspector's mind. It didn't sound like the names of those notorious demon princes. It shouldn't be too bad?
When the sound of the mantra stopped, the assessment room fell silent, and everyone held their breath. But...it seemed like nothing happened?
"Kuang Dang!"
The sudden loud noise frightened everyone. Upon closer inspection, they saw that a metal iron ball fell to the ground from the shelf where it was originally placed, and then made a gurgling rolling sound. The eyes of those present followed the iron ball.
Scroll all the way to Kaya - right in front of the person being tested.
The iron ball that stopped rolling suddenly protruded, and then returned to its original shape. Then there were protrusions in different parts, and then recovered again, as if a creature was trying to break out of the eggshell. Then it calmed down for a while, and suddenly the iron ball Jumped into the air, spun out of thin air, grew limbs, and landed firmly on the ground. There was no head, but instead, two blue flames ignited on the chest. Everyone present felt that the flames seemed to bring A kind of spying, looking directly into everyone's soul.
"Zhizhizhi." The first person to break the silence was Kaya herself. Before the magic of animal conversation was lifted, she said directly: Mouse, where are you? I want a target to smash and see.
Mouse: You're playing with a mouse, you're a dead girl. I won't accompany you.
"Tsk." After smacking her mouth, Kaya had no chance to continue arguing, because the inspector had already come to him, looking at the steel golem... Although it was super small, like a big muscular man, It was only the size of a palm, and was held in the hands of the old man, raised in front of him for appreciation.
"It's really amazing." It is not uncommon to summon a steel golem, but it is quite rare to be summoned by a person with the apprentice level. Although it is such a small-sized golem, in the palm of your hand, it looks around and has a vivid look. Just by looking at it, you know that this is not a low-level spirit body.
When he realized that there was a pair of big eyes next to him, looking at him, the inspector quickly came back to his senses and said: "Of course, of course, the child has passed the test, very well." He handed over the small iron golem in his hand. , asked: "Then what should I do with the child?"
He put the iron golem back on the ground and let it stumble around like a child. Kaya came to the hands of her companions and took her small bag. She chose a red one that was in pretty good condition. level magic stone, and said: "Teacher once said that when dealing with summoned objects, sending it back is as important as summoning it." While saying this, he squatted down and handed the magic stone to the iron golem's hand.
Although there was no instruction, I still got the reward. In an instant, a mist-like vortex appeared in the air, projecting a soft white light on the iron golem. The spirit attached to it seemed to leave with the light, and the golem His body returned to its original iron ball form.
Although the girl had some difficulty holding up the iron ball, she was no longer able to use the light object or giant power magic. Kaya had to use all her strength to put the iron ball back on the original shelf.
At this point, the apprenticeship assessment has been successfully completed. According to the records, a total of iii(3) people have become official magicians, xi(11) people have been promoted to second-level apprentices, and iv(4) people have become first-level apprentices. And the last one The summoning of the devil has become the subject of discussion among most apprentices for a period of time. After all, it is suspected that the Holy Spirit was summoned, but it was not retained, but was sent back on the spot.
Later, someone asked the black-haired and brown-skinned girl why she didn't keep the iron golem that she had worked so hard to summon. The girl's answer was helpless.
"But the iron pieces that make up the body of the golem are the property of the association. I can't take them away if I want. Besides, I don't want to take an iron lump home with me."
What a childish answer. In this case, the association has many flexible ways to solve the problem of item ownership. Not to mention that the iron ball only weighs a lot, and the material is not rare. Half buy and half give away It's not impossible. But the more reason should be the second half of the sentence, it's just that I don't want to leave with a piece of shit.
The day after they passed the exam, the two girls welcomed a guest in their residence at the Guest House, a senior steward from the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to congratulations, they also received the remuneration their teacher deserved, including the mall system
The agreed upon xbar (10000) kiir, and the three Tripwood magics, after deducting the association commission, totaled xbarxbarmmdclxi (22661) kiir, and came with an account book for reconciliation.
Such a huge sum of money, of course, does not come directly from more than 30,000 gold coins, but a withdrawal slip issued by the Chamber of Commerce and certified by the association.
Since the purpose of establishing the Chamber of Commerce is to serve magicians, a large group of customers are tower owners from various places. For the huge amounts of money and goods coming and going, although they are transported by the Chamber of Commerce's horse teams and escorts, it is still quite inconvenient.
.
When the Chamber of Commerce Affiliated to the Magicians Association was first established, there would often be teams of carriages and horses transporting subsidies and remuneration for a certain tower owner, as well as supplies for the tower. After arriving, the money was paid first, then the goods were ordered, and then
After collecting the payment, the next step is to escort the money back.
When this happens more often, a new business model will emerge, which in Lin's opinion is similar to Earth's banking business. However, to keep the money for the magicians, the Chamber of Commerce will neither charge storage fees nor interest.
The voucher issued by the Chamber of Commerce will not be used to conduct transactions. It is just a place to put money. It is more like the stored value system of some online malls on the earth.
As for the visiting senior steward, his mission was of course not just to deliver withdrawal vouchers and account books, but also to conduct transactions with representatives from the Tower of the Great Sage. Moreover, this was a guest who had been instructed to take special care of.
Because the mall system that is being prepared in full swing comes from the hands of the instructors of the two guests in front of them.
Halumi boldly took out a long scroll. It recorded all the items Lin wanted to buy, divided into three categories. The first category was must-buy items, and most of them were food supplies.
, as well as materials useful for girls’ meditation rooms.
The second largest category can be purchased if you have enough money. Most of them are magic materials, including potions, metallurgy, magic circles, enchantments, etc. But they are all relatively common things, and there are no very expensive and rare ones.
Taste.
The third category is buyable or not. It’s just that Lin is suddenly interested in some knowledge and buys something for experiments. There are some relatively rare things, but that’s just the mainland where the Xijia District branch is located.
As far as the southwest border is concerned, there is still a lot of output in other areas.
District chapters and chambers of commerce affiliated with district chapters will occasionally purchase some specialty resources from various places, and then provide them to the magicians in the district for purchase. Of course, the quantity will not be large, and sometimes they will be out of stock. But at this time, they will be delivered after ordering.
way to deal with it.
And for these hundreds of items, after the price given by the senior steward of the Chamber of Commerce was deducted from the remuneration paid to Tripwood's magician based on experience and crude calculations, the Chamber of Commerce actually had to pay xbra
Give the magician more kiir.
This is the figure obtained after paying one year's advance for the first major category of supplies, and purchasing twice as much of the second largest category of materials.
There is no way, the figures given by the president of the mall system are astronomical; and the remuneration for the three Tripwood magics, although it seems to outsiders that iGiel is not profitable at all, insiders regard it as a huge amount.
After reaching a certain level, the astounding numbers were obtained.
If someone with some understanding of the economy hadn't pointed out that this was just an explosive sales amount. When most magicians in Xijia District have bought the browser system, only new people who have joined the magic world will buy it.
By then, sales will plummet. After all, there are only a few dozen new people in the entire Greater Sijia District who are discovered to be talented and able to join the magical world every year.
If the monthly sales of Tripwood's three magics are really the same as the first month, some association executives have suggested that through the incident of massacre of the village, Gabrash Tripwood can be directly made history.
.Then those three magics were repriced after the association took back ownership.
And this is one of the reasons why Chengguo Eaton came to Lin to discuss the amount of commission the association would charge for those three magics─mainly the browser─. If Lin was too greedy, it would be considered easy even if someone wears small shoes.
