"It's nothing, it's just the association... It's just that I think the Icacia Thunder Shower developed by Master Li Wen is a bit strange and different from ordinary tricks, so I want to talk to Master Li Wen about some issues about this spell."
That's what it was for.
Li Wen nodded, "Master Eric is willing to give you some advice, that would be great, but it's getting late today. I'll go find you when I'm free. What do you think?"
"It's not about giving advice, I just want to discuss it. I'm often in the library at night. If Master Li Wen is free, you can find me there."
"good."
"As for those magic items, when will Master Li Wen be free to claim them?"
"You have time... I've been really busy lately."
These days, Li Wen's mind has been filled with critical gates, and he has abandoned almost all other research.
"Then I'll leave first."
"Master Eric, walk slowly."
After sending the cold-faced minister away, Li Wen leaned against the door and stared at the back figure that would gradually disappear into the darkness.
I don’t know whether this kind of show of kindness is the association’s intention or his personal intention...
But no matter what, it will only happen in a few days, and I don’t have time these two days.
…
The next day, early morning.
Li Wen ended his daily guard duty and went straight to the cemetery...the courtyard next to it.
Two equally skinny old men and women stood together, looking at the magic circle they had built together, feeling a little worried.
The old man smiled sinisterly: "They are all inferior things, and the core energy gem does not have much energy left. If the magic circle is not exploded, it will be blessed by the goddess of magic... But with this little magic power, it probably won't be hurt if it explodes.
Man, what a pity.”
The old lady seemed not to have heard the old man's taunts, but her eyes were engrossed in calculating what other materials were needed.
"Do you still have money?"
The old man was furious for a moment, "Are you trying to make a move on me? You've already lost all the money! I don't even have the money to buy the body anymore, so I'm going to kill you!"
"Oh~"
The old lady sighed, "If it doesn't work, just leave it like this. Try it first. If it doesn't work, then think of a way. At the worst, I'll copy scrolls for people to make money."
"...I'm not ashamed even at my age."
Curling his lips, the old man glanced at the old lady's profile and said in a low voice: "You wait until I get some results from my research on the resurrection of the dead, and I'll get you some money."
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Li Wen stepped into the basement, he heard money, money, money.
Seeing Li Wen, the old man's eyebrows twitched and he looked unhappy.
"It's not all you. You dragged her to do some research, and all the money was lost, and you got this garbage in exchange."
As he said that, the old man cursed and bumped into Li Wen's body, walking towards the ground.
"Old madman! Little madman! They are all madmen! Everyone is avoiding the demonic tide, but you are the only one who takes the initiative to bump into it. Bah!"
The two people in the basement turned a deaf ear to his words.
After a few days, Li Wen also knew that this was a mean-spirited little old man.
"Let's get started."
Li Wen nodded and came to the venue set up by two third-level mages.
Those magic materials with spatial attributes extracted from monsters or plants emit a faint aura and are placed in a magic circle that balances the elemental field according to some mysterious rules.
An energy-containing gem at the core exudes a light blue arcane glow, but the light is dim.
As Julian concentrated on casting spells, the magic inscriptions engraved in the ring shone one by one, and the elemental stabilizing circle began to take effect.
"Buzz~"
After the slight chirping of cicadas, the invisible force field began to regulate the various magic elements within the circle, keeping them as calm and stable as possible.
Li Wen adjusted his breathing, combined with the natural phenomenon seen in the battle records in his mind - the critical gate, and the teleportation knowledge he had learned over the past few days, and began to try to simulate it.
[You are trying to use an array to simulate a natural phenomenon. The completion rate of this simulation is 12.03%. You need to pay 42,000,000 points of soul energy to complete the array. Do you want to pay? 】
[You are trying to use the formation to simulate a natural phenomenon. The completion rate of this simulation is 38.17%. You need to pay 42,000,000 points of soul energy to complete the formation. Do you want to pay? 】
Following Li Wen's experiment, those animal and plant extracted materials containing spatial attributes automatically floated out of thin air without wind, as if dancing.
The dark blue elemental stabilizing array's spiritual light swept across this dark basement from time to time, reflecting on Li Wen's face in a mysterious and magnificent interweaving of light and dark.
Erin, who stepped into the basement, noticed the silence, quickly slowed down her steps, held her breath, and approached carefully.
Seriously, Master Li Wen is so handsome~
"Bang!"
The sudden explosion startled the nymphomaniac Miss Pie.
The explosion was not loud, but rather abrupt. It was particularly heart-rending in this unusually quiet basement.
It was the energy-accumulating gem that exploded.
To open a portal that connects two different planes and to exist stably, the energy required is quite huge.
The old lady quickly looked at Li Wen and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Li Wen's eyes were moving and he was not hurt by the backlash of the failed spell.
"Sure enough, I still have to force myself. I will try to find a new energy-containing gemstone."
"Two thousand gold... where can I find it?"
Li Wen shook his head, "I'll find a way."
I don’t know if I can get it on credit...
Li Wen thought of the promise made by Master Eric last night. They were all magic items anyway, so why not ask if he could give him an energy gem?
…
"You want the energy gem?"
At the association's headquarters, Li Wen found Master Eric and explained his purpose.
After hearing Li Wen's request, Master Eric looked slightly cold... Of course, it might just be a normal behavior.
After a period of frightening silence, Master Eric suddenly said.
"OK."
Master Eric doesn't say much, he just gives what he says.
Give it to Li Wen and see him off, no more beeps at all.
Not even any conditions or difficulties were mentioned.
After sending Li Wen away, Eric sat alone in the office and thought hard.
Scared to death...
Energy-containing gems? Is that what ordinary people play around with?
And most of them are mages from the conjuration sect who can study those formations.
It is difficult for low-level mages to mobilize the inert energy in gems.
Why did Master Li Wen start asking for this thing? Is he making any big plans?
Moreover, isn't he a mage from the protection faction?
Also...geniuses ignore factions.
Very reasonable.
As for value... in the eyes of a serious mage, there is actually no essential difference between a small thing worth two or three thousand gold coins and something worth twenty or thirty gold coins.
…
After getting a flawless energy-containing gem, Li Wen quickly rushed back to the manor.
The formation materials that were messy due to the explosion have now been restored to their original state under the old lady's care.
Start again.
However, a turbulent vibration coming from the ground interrupted Li Wen's spellcasting.
"What's going on?"
Irene quickly ran out to have a look and then came back to report, "It's a demonic tide!"
