Master Shen invited him, and Matthew felt he had no room to refuse.
However, he said hello to Margaret and took the time to go to the small dark room, trying to visit Isabel first and at least leave a message to Isabel.
This statement is quite important.
If the relationship between the two ladies, Isabel and Suriel, is as intense as Margaret said, she would go to see Suriel without saying hello.
It may cause Isabel's dissatisfaction.
Matthew originally thought that Isabel would not reply to him quickly.
Who would have thought that it would not take long for the oral message to spread.
The answer is in the communication crystal ball.
Isabel's voice rang in Matthew's ears:
"You can go and meet any legendary mage in the alliance, which of course includes Ms. Suriel.
What's more, she is still my best friend.
I believe she won't come to you for no reason.
If she has other requirements for you, be sure to let her have fun. The opportunity to curry favor with a divine mage is rare and should be cherished.
The only thing I need to remind you is that it’s best not to come back in debt.”
Have fun?
No debt?
Isabel's reply left Matthew confused.
"How can you be in debt!"
"I have half a million!"
With Isabel's permission, Matthew returned to the magic classroom to find Margaret.
The latter took Matthew to the teleportation hall of the Crucible House.
The two walked into the green door, which symbolized ultra-long-distance teleportation.
After a while.
Matthew and Margaret appeared at a teleportation transfer station.
This is a square in a sub-dimensional space, with transmission channels in all directions. There are not many mages coming and going, only some mechanical gnomes are charging fees.
"Two of you, go to the Crystal Palace."
Margaret waved her little hand, and two golden magic bills were thrown into the hands of a mechanical dwarf.
The latter nodded.
Respectfully, he led the two of them to another transmission channel.
"We need about three minutes to notify Crystal Palace and obtain their permission, and then we can transmit it."
The mechanical gnome said so.
While waiting.
Margaret introduced Matthew:
"The teleportation fee in the alliance is quite expensive. Under normal circumstances, I would rather fly by myself than use the teleportation array, but today you can rest assured that the round trip costs are covered by my instructor. You can experience teleportation for free for 100 gold per time.
"
Matthew asked:
"Is there anything special about 100 gold a time?"
Margaret thought for a while:
"Exceptionally fast."
As they spoke, the portal was ready, and a strange feeling suddenly passed over the two of them as they stepped through it.
Immediately afterwards.
A beautiful scene appeared in front of Matthew.
He found himself in the sky.
Everything seen by the naked eye is floating in the air.
He saw a huge pink ball of light.
At the very center of the light sphere is a crystal palace.
It stands in mid-air, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Balls of light float in the sky.
When Matthew turned around, he found that the sun seemed to be behind him, but the sunlight it emitted did not appear very hot.
Inside the light ball, apart from the crystal palace, there are beautiful bricks fixed in mid-air.
These bricks are colorful and beautiful.
It looks like an embellishment in a fairy tale world.
Matthew is floating in mid-air.
He felt like he was losing gravity and only needed a support point.
He can fly far, far away.
"Welcome to the Crystal Palace."
"Try kicking a brick in your back?"
Margaret smiled and gestured beside him.
Matthew then kicked the green brick behind him.
Immediately afterwards.
His body shot out in another direction like a rocket.
The brick said in disgust:
"Everyone, come and see, there are people here who don't take off their shoes when visiting other people's homes. They step on my face with shoe marks. It's really dirty!"
Matthew's body quickly traveled inside the ball of light.
Above him was the blue sky and the shining sun.
Below are mountains and rivers that cannot be seen clearly, as well as lazy clouds floating by.
This feeling is very strange.
But after traveling for a while, he stopped in a certain space.
Because there are no more bricks nearby for him to use.
"What should I do in this situation?"
Matthew asked loudly to Margaret beside him.
Margaret smiled and threw something to Matthew.
Matthew took a closer look and saw that it was a wrinkled and tightly curled thing.
There is also a wristband-like device underneath this thing.
"Wear it on your hand, like me."
As she spoke, she demonstrated it herself and fastened a similar device on her wrist.
Immediately afterwards.
Margaret raised her arm, straightened her wrist, and pointed at a brick far away.
"Hey~!"
A strange syllable came out of her mouth.
The next second.
A black shadow shot out from her wrist, and at the end of the shadow hung a magic rope that was constantly being stretched.
puff!
A few seconds later.
Matthew saw with his own eyes that the crumpled thing that flew out turned into a huge claw, tightly clasped on the brick.
"Wha~!"
Margaret spoke another syllable again.
The magic rope at the end of the claw suddenly contracted, pulling Margaret over at lightning speed!
Her body drew a beautiful arc in the air, then crossed the brick and flew towards the Crystal Palace under the influence of inertia.
Matthew tried to do it.
As a result, it was quickly dragged far, far away by its claws.
He almost hit a few other bricks along the way!
But after several attempts.
Matthew has mastered the function of this device.
The two of them quickly approached the Crystal Palace.
Along the way.
Margaret said:
"This is the "Magic Hook". This device was made by Ms. Suriel herself. It was inspired by an unpopular elite profession on the Eastern Continent - the vigilante.
It is said that the standard secondary weapon of this profession is a similar hook. Knights use it to climb over walls, cross complex terrain, quickly approach the enemy, or pull the enemy from a distance away to them.
I really like the feeling of using the magic claw.
It's a pity that it can only be used freely in the sky of the Crystal Palace.
It is designated as a prohibited weapon by the Alliance."
Matthew asked strangely:
"This kind of weapon is so easy to use, why isn't it popularized instead of banned?"
Margaret shrugged:
"Who knows?
It is said that someone at the top of the alliance feels that this weapon poses too great a threat to ordinary mages. If it is obtained by other professionals, it is very likely to pose an unprecedented threat to mages of the same level.
In order to nip this possibility in the bud, they have banned countless new types of weapons.
But having said that, the raw material of the magic hook is "astral sea anemone", which is very expensive, causing the production cost of the magic hook to remain high.
Even if there is no weapons ban, I am afraid it will be difficult to promote it."
"If you also like this kind of weapon, hurry up and play it a few more times now."
As she said that, she also deliberately bypassed the Crystal Palace in the center and took a long walk around.
Matthew didn't say anything, just followed Margaret silently.
The magic hook is really fun, and it may also have a certain impact on the current battle mode.
However, Matthew doesn’t think it’s time to list it as a banned weapon.
Once magic hooks become widespread, mages will definitely develop protective hooks or targeted protective spells. Just be careful.
The most powerful thing about mages is their wisdom.
rather than a specific weapon.
More than ten minutes later.
Margaret had finally had enough.
She took Matthew to the ground outside the Crystal Palace. As soon as his feet stepped on the ground, Matthew felt the existence of gravity again.
He quickly approached the palace.
Not long after.
Matthew noticed something unusual——
This palace has no doors!
Where there should be doors.
Matthew only found neat cracks.
You can indeed see the interior of the castle through the cracks.
But the crack is too narrow.
I'm afraid only ants can barely crawl through.
"Lie sideways against the wall, aim at the crack, stand up straight, and don't resist."
Margaret took out her staff and tapped Matthew gently.
…
"Tip: Your companion Margaret used the spell "Take advantage of every opportunity" on you.
The width of your body is reduced to 1 centimeter!"
…
That moment.
Matthew seemed to have become a paper man.
He felt helpless, and various parts of his body moved forward and backward, twisting like waves.
Fortunately, he obeyed Margaret's instructions and pressed his body against the wall.
The spell has just taken effect.
His shoulders and part of his head were inserted into the crack.
"So that's how we got in."
Matthew was amazed by this unprecedented experience.
He transformed into a paper man and squirmed in the cracks for a while, then successfully passed through the thick city wall and arrived inside the palace filled with crystals.
All the decorations in the palace are so magnificent and beautiful.
The decoration style and furnishings are all extremely luxurious.
Matthew was dazzled by the splendor of this place.
After getting started.
The two forms returned to normal.
They walked inside the castle and met many cute kittens along the way.
I saw some kittens turning their bellies, some sleeping, and some standing aloofly on high points, silently examining the outsiders like them.
Go through two side halls.
Matthew came to a warm-colored corridor.
at this time.
A big fat brown cat jumped down from the railing.
"Is it Mr. Matthew?"
The big fat cat asked seriously.
"it's me."
Matthew replied.
"Come with me. Ms. Suriel will be waiting for you in the reception room No. 3."
Fat Cat said so.
Margaret wowed:
"It's actually the reception room No. 3. It seems that the teacher attaches great importance to you. Only future big clients, or mages she thinks have great potential, are qualified to meet her in the reception room No. 3."
"Good luck to you, Matthew."
Sha Mao looked back at her:
"Miss Margaret, speaking of this month's interest, you should also pay the interest, right? You have been in arrears for three months. If you continue like this, it will make me very embarrassed."
Margaret said miserably:
"Don't be like this, Aji, if you keep forcing me, I will have no choice but to sell myself."
Aji said bluntly:
"You have been saying this since last year, but you haven't paid back much interest yet. Does this mean that your figure standard does not meet the aesthetic standards of most humans?"
Margaret said angrily:
"What are you talking about? I just don't sincerely want to sell myself."
Aji said coldly:
"Look, I knew you had no intention of repaying the money properly. I will report this matter to Ms. Suriel."
Margaret rushed over and hugged it in her arms:
"Aji, my good Aji, please give me a few more months of grace, please?"
As she spoke, she kept rubbing her chest against it.
Aji said expressionlessly:
"I'm a female cat, and honestly, you really got me, Margaret."
Margaret's shoulders were shaking with anger.
"This matter actually has nothing to do with me. You should know this. Even if I don't say anything, Ms. Suriel knows everything. Since you plan to default on the bill, be prepared to bear the wrath of Ms. Suriel. You
As a student of hers, I should know what that means better than I do."
"Come on, Margaret, let me give you something I heard Ms. Suriel often say--
"If an item doesn't sell for a long time, you'd better think about whether it's going to be discounted."
Finish this sentence.
She didn't care about Margaret's face and just led the way.
Not long after.
Matthew came to an open door.
The interior of the room at the entrance is covered with plaid blankets in warm colors.
Aji brought Matthew to the reception room and motioned for him to sit on the sofa.
Waiting time.
Aji said to Matthew seriously:
"Listen, kid, you will face the most terrifying devil in the world next. She will try every possible means to drain you of all your wealth and make you saddle with high debts.
Spending wisely is the only way you can escape unscathed.
Ms. Suriel's dream is to become the creditor of everyone in the alliance, and everyone must work for her obediently.
At present, a considerable number of mages, like Margaret, have essentially become her slaves.
I don’t want you to make the same mistake again.”
Matthew asked in surprise:
"Isn't it inappropriate for your Excellency to speak of your master like that?"
Aji replied calmly:
"This is what Ms. Suriel told me. She doesn't like to defraud customers. For her, it is the most fulfilling thing for her to squeeze you dry after you are mentally prepared."
Matthew suddenly shuddered when he heard this.
He felt that the soft sofa under his buttocks seemed to have thorns.
"Is it really that evil?"
"I have nearly half a million yuan... As long as I restrain my desire to consume, I can't go into debt, right?"
Matthew couldn't help but murmur in his mind.
"You have five minutes to mentally prepare yourself."
"Goodbye then, Master. I hope that when we meet next time, I'm not here to collect interest from you."
Aji flicked his tail.
Sneaked away quickly.
The classroom suddenly became quiet.
Matthew calmly opened the moderation area to cheer himself up.
Five minutes passed quickly.
Suriel showed up on time.
first meet.
Matthew didn't look particularly stunning. Ms. Suriel looked about thirty years old, with a round face and a pair of black glasses on the bridge of her nose.
Her hair is black and draped over her shoulders.
She wore a woolen tube top that flattered her curves, and a flesh-colored knitted shawl of the same width draped over her shoulders.
Her lower body is a narrow skirt of unknown material. The skirt is dotted with a few magic diamonds. Just one look at it makes her feel dazzling.
Looking at looks alone, Suriel is not the particularly beautiful type, far inferior to Isabel.
But after a few more glances, you will feel that this woman is very charming. Every facial feature and every detail on her body seems to be sophisticated and thought-provoking.
There is a faint smile on her face, giving people the feeling of the aunt next door.
The key word is big.
A stark contrast to Margaret.
"Margaret's dressing style is at least 70-80% imitated by Suriel."
Matthew thought secretly.
"Matthew, right? Coffee, milk, or scented tea?"
Suriel's voice was soft and weak, which was completely different from Isabel's domineering style.
She gives people the impression that she is the kind of young woman who is very easy to talk to.
As long as you are a little tougher.
She will be obedient and submissive.
But Matthew knows that all this is just an illusion. Suriel is a divine mage on par with Isabel!
He quickly saluted respectfully:
"Good morning, Sir Suriel. Um, coffee will be fine. Thank you very much."
Suriel smiled softly and said:
"Don't be so nervous, just treat yourself as your own home. Is that coffee, Natasha?"
From the cabinet next to it, a dark teapot and two cups suddenly flew out.
The teapot spun three times in the air.
Immediately afterwards.
A fragrant smell of coffee came out from inside, and black juice spurted out from the spout of the teapot and accurately fell into the cup.
After a while.
The cup also slowly stopped in front of Matthew.
Matthew quickly took it and took a sip.
In an instant.
He just felt refreshed!
…
"Tip: You took Natasha's strong coffee, and your concentration +2 (temporary).
Duration 72 hours"
…
"I'm usually busy with work and research, and I haven't paid much attention to young people in the past few years. Yesterday, Ekmund reminded me that there was an A1 in the league recently, and he happened to be a newcomer supervised by my best friend Isabel, so
I specially asked you to come over and have a look and have a chat."
"Speaking of which, Isabel is just your supervisor. After the three-year newcomer assessment, you can completely switch to someone else. How about you, are you interested in coming to Crystal Palace to work with me?"
Suriel looked at Matthew with a smile.
Her eyes are always full of water, and her eyes have a soul-stirring power.
Matthew quickly looked away:
"Well, I have no such plan for the time being. Everything depends on Teacher Isabel's wishes."
Suriel didn't feel dissatisfied.
She smiled lightly and said:
"In that case, let's get straight to the point. How much do you know about the field of enchantment?"
Matthew shook his head:
"I focus on the field of necromancy. I have recently learned some spells in the field of transformation. When it comes to enchantment, I know nothing about it."
Suriel nodded:
"This is normal. The vast majority of mages in the world lack talent in the field of enchantment. This is an important reason why magic items are always in scarcity.
Very early on, mages discovered that through specific methods and combinations, mana could be poured into other items to achieve magical effects.
This process is called enchantment.
at first.
The research direction in the field of enchantment is to focus the magic power originating from our bodies on external objects.
The items here include single magic props and scattered ritual sites.
After the production and research of magic props reached its peak.
People suddenly realized that our bodies can also be the carrier of enchantment.
On this basis.
We got the concepts of spell solidification, spell constancy, and further spell abilityization.
The development of the field of enchantment is of course not limited to this.
in recent hundreds of years.
It was combined with alchemy to develop the brilliant construction technique.
There are three types of construction techniques in the current continent of Irondor.
The first type is the "plug-in structure" represented by Cyber Dragon.
Cyber dragon artificers are always keen on crafting all kinds of armor and constructs.
They sometimes wear plug-in constructs to act, but after all, technicians are technicians and constructs are constructs, and the two are separate.
This pattern is also called detached construction.
The second type is the "implanted structure" represented by several major families in Purgatory.
As the name suggests, this method is to implant the power of the construct into the human body and further improve the coordination between human and construct by replacing human body parts.
The flaws of this model are also obvious.
As more and more components are replaced on the body.
Over time, you will fall into self-doubt about whether you are a person or a construct.
As for the third type, it infuses magic power into a very small structural carrier and then implants it under the skin of the human body.
It can bring out the power of the enchantment field like the above two modes, and at the same time it has many advantages such as miniaturization of the structure carrier, no impact on image, no impact on limbs, no impact on mental health, no impact on spell intensity, etc.
I call this pattern "Suriel Construct".
Spells solidified through this enchantment method.
There are almost no restrictions except for the number of uses per day.
You don't need to chant at all, you just need to activate your mental power and the spell will take effect automatically.
As long as you want.
I can put all the magic in the world into your body.
what do you want.
I can give it to you."
After listening to this, Matthew's body trembled slightly.
But Suriel didn't give him a chance to think.
He directly photographed a spell list in front of Matthew.
"My price is very expensive, you only have this chance."
"If you miss this time and want to ask me to take action next time, you will have to pay at least the price of a dragon's nest."
Suriel said softly:
"I heard that you are learning combat spells from Margaret. If you intend to develop in this area, there are several spells that cannot be avoided. I suggest you solidify them as early as possible."
Said.
Her green-green fingers tapped on the spell list.
Several spell names were highlighted immediately.
Together.
There is also the price of spell solidification at the back.
