While Thain and Meili were talking, Fatty Boss, who was a "bad student" among the magic apprentices, finally finished dealing with a dark creature that came to shop and walked up to Thain and the two.
Fatty Boss's shop has fewer and fewer black magic apprentices coming to shop. Instead, it is gradually focusing on the dark creatures and underground people in Mensobra City.
For example, the dark creature that just left was a millstone-sized spider with eight pairs of claws.
This spider is not a magical beast, and there is no magic crystal in its body.
Although his main vocalization is an incomprehensible "hiss", he can barely suppress a sentence or two of human language.
This is not the first time Fatty Boss has dealt with the other party. Basic transactions and communication are still possible.
Where these spiders come from, Thane doesn't know.
He only knew that there were many dark creatures like spiders in the city of Mensobra.
Like the tauren, these dark creatures completely surrender to the rule and majesty of the official black magicians.
But compared to the tauren who guard the gates outside the city all year round, these dark creatures like spiders are much more low-key and mysterious.
Throwing the black gold he had just earned behind the counter, Fatty Boss came over and patted Thain on the shoulder and asked: "What mission are you planning to perform this time?"
"Don't let it be a dangerous mission, otherwise the potion Meili made won't be enough for you alone." Baos said carelessly.
"This mission is not dangerous. It is just a patrol in a few areas outside the city."
"My alchemy experiments and magic learning tasks have been quite tense recently, so I don't have any extra time to waste." Thain replied simply.
General patrol missions are simpler and safer than the mission that Thain carried out last time to wipe out the Blue Jaw Feathers.
After all, the former has a clear goal, which is to kill at least twenty Green Jaw Feathers.
The latter can most likely be accomplished by Thain just going out for a few days and making corresponding marks.
And when Thain patrols the surrounding area, he can hide his body and act carefully.
Like last time, it is almost impossible to be ambushed and attacked in advance.
Thain's answer made Fatty Boss nod.
Then he mentioned what Thain gave him today, "Your three green jaw feather claws should be very easy to sell, including the dark spider that just left. They were also very interested in it and bought it directly.
One stick."
"This thing is not used much by black magic apprentices, but it is the favorite of those underground demi-humans and dark creatures. I didn't expect you to actually create an alchemy tool." Fatty Boss sighed.
"It's not an alchemy tool. It's just a gadget that has been successfully enchanted. It's the most basic thing."
"It's a pity that I have used up all the green jaw feather claws in my hand. Although I still have a few jaw beaks, they probably won't be able to sustain the consumption for a long time." Thain shook his head and said.
"I still have some low-level magic materials here, but I don't know how successful your equipment production success rate is."
"If it's too low, will I lose money and die?" Fatty Boss said with a smile.
Fatty Boss's words made Thain feel warm in his heart.
I saw him hammering Bos on the shoulder hard and saying: "Don't worry, I will pay you!"
…
This time, Thain's mandatory academy mission didn't have many twists and turns.
After quickly completing the patrol within three days and marking the academy mark, Thane quickly returned to Menzobra City.
For quite a long time afterwards.
Thain maintained this fulfilling and busy life of studying magic knowledge, completing academy tasks, assisting his mentor in experiments, meditating hard on spiritual power, and accumulating magic power.
In the dark underground world, time passes so quickly that few creatures can notice it.
Including Thain, he has already adapted to the environment and life here.
The yearning for the surface of the earth and the memory of the sun and stars in the sky gradually became the deepest image in Thain's heart.
Even as time went by, the appearance of Thain's own mother gradually became blurred.
The occurrence of this situation made Thain feel hesitant.
In order to deal with, or rather downplay, this hesitation, Thain could only devote himself more fully to daily practice and study.
…
Three years later.
Twenty-year-old Thain has become more slender than four years ago, and his face is much more stern and handsome.
With a height of 1.8 meters, Thain is tall among the apprentices.
Not only is he taller than his senior sister Feier, but he is also taller than his senior brother Zorro and mentor Moses.
Tall men are rare among apprentices of the dark arts.
In addition, the underground world lacks sunlight and the supplement of certain trace elements. It can be seen that Thain's genes played a big role in being able to grow so tall.
On this day, after completing the production of the element converter in the laboratory of mentor Moshe Duo.
The tutor and senior brother left the laboratory one after another, leaving only Thain and his senior sister Fei'er to pack up a bunch of scattered objects on the experimental table in front of them.
Three years have passed, and Thane has changed not only in his height and face shape, but also in his height in the field of magic and his mastery of alchemy.
Mentor Mosheduo was indeed right. Thain did have a good talent in the field of alchemy.
At this time, Thain had already surpassed his senior sister in the field of alchemy, including his mentor and senior brother Zorro who had praised him more than once.
Such low-level things as engraving the "Sharp Technique" on Qing Jaw's feather claws three years ago, at this time, Thain no longer bothered to do it.
The alchemy item he got from Fatty Boss last month was a ring that could barely be rated as low-level magic equipment.
There is a magic trick solidified inside - the light spell, which can be used once every two hours.
It is also considered a good prop, and it sold for a high price of 300 black gold.
The cost for Thain to make that magic ring was less than fifty pieces of black gold, which shows the huge profits in the field of alchemy.
And that ring was the fourth low-level magic prop that Thain had successfully produced in the past three years.
In the beginning, the first two magic props that Thain successfully produced were indeed more luck than technology.
But after countless failures and summaries, Thain also figured out his own method.
Maybe it won't be long before Thane can make some equipment that solidifies offensive magic.
Even the simplest secondary fireball or wind arrow, once successfully produced, will definitely be the best among low-level magic equipment, and its value far exceeds that of bright rings and so on.
In addition to Thain's considerable growth in the field of alchemy, his personal cultivation has not fallen behind in the past three years.
Intermediate magic is based on the original, and also masters the object control technique and the fire chain knife.
Thane was not greedy to learn more magic because his mentor Moses warned him that there is no point in dabbling in too much magic at a lower level.
His mental power and magic power are not enough to support him to release all the magic he has mastered in battle, and he is biting off more than he can chew. Instead of spending more time on novel magic, it is better to use all this energy to meditate on his mental power.
The wisdom from an official black magician made Thain dare not have any refutation or doubt.
Three years have passed, and Thain's mental power has slowly climbed to 38 points.
Although there is still a certain gap between the 50-point mental power threshold of high-level apprentices, this training speed is definitely not slow in the Black Magic Academy.
Although he has not continued to dabble too much in intermediate magic, Thain has learned a lot of low-level magic and some magic tricks over the years.
Light magic is just one of them. Among those low-level magics, the most representative one is that Thain learned a dark and necromantic magic from his girlfriend Lina - Skeleton Summoning.
