I don’t know if it was because of lying in bed for a few days, but Mathias’s mental endurance seemed to have improved a lot. He could still endure the provocation of Lin Li who stepped on his face like this, except that his face became increasingly ugly.
Besides, he had no intention of taking action at all.
This somewhat surprised Lin Li. He originally wanted to tease him a few more times and force him into a fight with Ou Ling...
But forget it, small things like this were not enough to affect Lin Li's mood. In the next few days, he still soaked in the Omniscient Tower every day, holding a thick stack of books and chewing them with relish.
It's just that unlike his two roommates, Lin Li never went above the third floor during the few days he spent in the Omniscient Tower. In the past few days, he had been crowded with a group of young magicians, and what he had in his hands was not basic skills.
It was just a basic theory, and the two roommates were puzzled by it.
Ma Sen really couldn't understand what this guy was thinking. He obviously had the peak strength of a magician, but he didn't go to the tenth floor or above to learn more powerful spells. Instead, he stayed on the first and second floors every day, holding these.
What is the psychology behind reading apprentice-level books with gusto?
"Can being an apprentice also lead to addiction?"
Faced with such a question, Lin Li really didn't know how to explain it for a while.
His situation is too special. From apprentice to mage, it only took less than half a year. No matter how talented Lin Li is, he will inevitably leave many flaws. It's like traveling. If you are too hasty,
If you do, you will always miss some of the scenery on the roadside. This is the case with Lin Li now, because the speed of improvement is too fast, and he has missed many things.
He knew the principles of spell casting, and he also knew the techniques of spell casting, but once it came to the most details, Lin Li would immediately expose his own shortcomings. This had nothing to do with talent or diligence, it was purely due to lack of sufficient experience and experience.
Magic is like this. In addition to talent and hard work, it also requires patience and time.
Even the worst magician will naturally master every detail of a spell as long as he is willing to try it thousands of times.
What Lin Li lacks now is precisely this kind of detail.
Fortunately, he now has the right to freely enter and exit the Omniscient Tower. In this largest magic treasure house in the Kingdom of France, there are most reading notes describing such details.
Almost as soon as he got these reading notes, Lin Li understood that this was what he needed most...
In the next few days, he was immersed in these reading notes almost every day. It took him nearly ten days in total to go from the first floor to the third floor of the Omniscient Tower. In the same time, Ma Ma
Sen has already copied ten advanced spells, and Ou Ling has also broken through the limit and reached the level of a twelfth-level magician.
But Lin Li didn't think he was wasting his time. On the contrary, he thought it was very meaningful.
Because he can clearly feel that he is making rapid progress every day. Many things that he did not understand before seem to suddenly find the answer, and the answer that provides him is often just a sentence in his notes.
Gossip, the person who wrote these reading notes may be a genius magician who is famous in Anriel, or he may be a magic apprentice who cannot break through the fifth level in his life. When they wrote these reading notes, they even
I don’t necessarily think that I can answer a certain question.
But when Lin Li saw these reading notes, he always felt a sense of enlightenment, as if he had found a thread in the mess and untied countless knots with just a slight pull.
This feeling of sudden enlightenment kept Lin Li immersed in happy reading.
It wasn't until the tenth day that Lin Li suddenly remembered that he seemed to still have a lot of things to do...
When he woke up this morning, he did not go to the Omniscient Tower with his two roommates. Instead, he left the guild hall and went to the equipment store on the corner.
"Good morning, boss."
"Good morning, good morning. I didn't expect to meet again so soon, Mr. Magician." The boss obviously still remembers Lin Li. This is normal. Any businessman will probably never forget a man who once spent dozens of dollars in his store.
A high-roller with ten thousand gold coins, not to mention, this high-roller is still so special...
"Boss, can I ask you whether the person who sold those two pieces of equipment last time has been to your place recently?"
"Been here once." The middle-aged boss nodded. He remembered this incident very clearly. After all, the impression left on him by that transaction was so profound. After recalling it carefully, the middle-aged boss continued
Said: "It seems like fifteen days ago, he came to get the money. At that time, I asked him to go to the Magic Guild to find you. Why, he couldn't find you?"
"No wonder..." Lin Li counted the time and realized that more than ten days ago, wasn't it the time when he completed the trial mission in Shadow Valley. It would be strange to find him when he came to look for it at that time.
It's such a pity that a line that was finally found was broken because of a coincidence.
Without the skin of the Flame Salamander, it is not that easy to go to Huoyu Mountain to collect black lotus flowers...
Do you really want to use the treasured black dragon skin?
If you use black dragon skin, there is no problem with fire immunity. After all, it is what the Dragon of Destruction left behind. It only needs simple processing before you can wear it to Fire Feather Mountain.
But the problem is that Lin Li is reluctant to do this. The value of black dragon skin is not lower than that of black lotus. If you just make leather armor so casually, no one else will be able to do it. Before Lin Li comes up with a perfect solution, Lin Li
I definitely don’t want to use that batch of black dragon skins so early.
"That's right." Just when Lin Li was hesitant, the middle-aged boss suddenly said: "He seems to have said that he will come again in a few days and will give me the other two pieces of equipment for consignment.
.”
"Oh?" Lin Li was surprised and asked quickly: "When?"
The middle-aged boss thought for a while before replying firmly: "The day after tomorrow."
"Thank you so much..." Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief. After thanking the middle-aged boss repeatedly, he casually asked, "By the way, boss, can you help me smelt the ore?"
What Lin Li wanted to smelt was the batch of eternal fine gold ore in the Ring of Endless Storm.
It's not because he can't smelt it by himself. As a master of mineral knowledge, smelting ore is the most basic skill, but this thing is not like pharmacy. Just get a few beakers and test tubes, coupled with his precise control of magic power, even if
Anyone in the wild can prepare a lot of medicines.
Smelting ore requires a lot of professional equipment, including blast furnaces and the like, which is enough to give Lin Li a headache. He is now living in the Oranna Magic Guild. He really wants to build such a lot of professional equipment.
Not to mention that other magicians will be frightened, I am afraid even Aldwin will be alarmed.
"Smelting ore? I definitely can't do it in the store, but I still have a smelting workshop in the north of the city. If you trust me, you can give the ore to me. After I transport it there and smelt it, you can come and pick it up."
"Okay, then I will transport the ore to you in a moment." Lin Li agreed simply. He had nothing to worry about with this well-behaved businessman. Others could put hundreds of thousands of equipment here on consignment.
, to some extent, it can also prove the credibility of this middle-aged boss.
"By the way, boss, the ore I want to smelt may be more troublesome. You can charge a higher price, but you must guarantee the quality of the smelting."
"I wonder what ore you plan to smelt?"
"This is it..." Lin Li put his hand into his pocket and took out a piece of eternal fine gold ore that he had prepared long ago.
"This..." The middle-aged boss took the ore in his hand. After looking at it carefully for a while, he asked with great difficulty: "This...could it be eternal fine gold?"
"Yes, it is eternal gold."
The middle-aged boss had probably never dealt with such expensive ore. When he held the ore in one hand, he was trembling slightly. After hesitating again and again, he finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, you can take the ore."
Ship it over and I'll start it in the afternoon. You can come and pick it up tomorrow."
"As for the price..." the middle-aged boss finished speaking in one breath, and then thought about it: "I usually charge one thousand gold coins to open the furnace once, but yours is really... too expensive, and my risk is too high.
It’s relatively large. If you want to see if this works, I’ll charge you three thousand gold coins.”
"no problem."
"By the way, Mr. Magician, I wonder how many eternal adamantine ores you have in total?"
"About two cars."
"..."
Before going out, Lin Li seemed to hear a "clang", which sounded like someone had fallen...
After coming out of the equipment store, Lin Li went directly to the Olanna car dealership. He hired two carriages there, and then took the two carriages around the city of Olanna, and finally found a secluded place.
At that place, the Ring of Endless Storm was opened, and the eternal fine gold ore was poured all over the ground.
After that, it was time to load the truck and transport it. It took Lin Li a full morning to complete this trip.
After handing three thousand gold coins to the middle-aged boss, and then watching him transport two carts of eternal fine gold ore to the north of the city, Lin Li finally took a long breath. This morning was really tiring...
But he still couldn't take any time off because he still had one more thing to do.
After returning to the Magic Guild, Lin Li went directly to the spell testing hall.
This is probably the difference between a small town and a big city. If it were the Garros Magic Guild, the spell test would most likely be arranged in the level certification hall, because there are also magic protection fields and elemental annihilation fields set up there, as well as tests.
In addition to the certification level, the spell-strength crystal ball can also be used for spell testing. In the words of Greg, this is called thrifty housekeeping. Spend as little as possible where you can spend less...
But this is the Oranna Magic Guild, the magic center of the entire Kingdom of France.
It doesn't matter what you spend money on here, not seeking the best but seeking the most expensive, this is the purpose of the Oranna Magic Guild.
The spell testing hall was on the fourth floor. With his status as a trial mage, Lin Li easily reached a private room.
The room was empty, with only a crystal ball, four magic lines, a magic protective force field, and an elemental annihilation force field. Two of them were deployed to protect the structure of the room and the crystal ball for testing.
Lin Li looked at the structure of the two magic patterns to ensure that they could withstand the bombardment of magician-level spells, then he confidently opened the Ring of Endless Storm and took out the fist-sized dragon's eye stone from inside.
After returning from the Nightmare Mountains, this was the first time Lin Li took it out.
As soon as I came out of the cave that night, I witnessed the battle between the mercenary group and the nightmare, and then the inexplicable crystal appeared. After returning to Oranna, there was the Shadow Valley trial arranged by the Supreme Council, which was finally completed.
He passed the trial mission and was obsessed with the Tower of Omniscience every day.
It’s been more than half a month since I got the dragon eye gem, but I still don’t know what kind of magic it contains...
For a research-obsessed person like Lin Li, this is simply unimaginable.
Anyway, there is no need to go to the Omniscient Tower to read today, so I might as well take out the dragon eye gem and study it...
In order to ensure his own safety, Lin Li deliberately took a few steps back. After all, no one knew what kind of magic was contained in this dragon's eye gem. If it was a powerful area magic, it would be too close.
, you might be injured by magic splash.
Lin Li retreated to the door before stopping. He tightened the dragon's eye gem in his hand and began to output magic power slowly and steadily.
As a trace of magic power poured into the Longan Gem, Lin Li could clearly see that the unique orange light of the Longan Gem was gradually becoming brighter and brighter, especially when the magic power input by Lin Li was about to break through the limit.
This orange light seemed to turn golden in an instant. At a glance, it seemed as if the room was covered with gold foil, and the eyes were filled with golden light. It was so gorgeous that it made people feel dizzy.
When the golden light reached its peak, a surge of magic suddenly arose in the room. The huge magic power seemed to solidify suddenly. Even Lin Li couldn't help but feel a huge pressure.
But after that, there was deathly silence.
Nothing happened……
"..." Lin Li rubbed his eyes and looked at the dragon's eye gem in his hand. He felt that this must be an illusion.
After a long time, a scream suddenly came from the room: "Me! How is this possible?"
Lin Li almost went crazy on the spot. How could this be possible? Just now, he clearly felt that the magic contained in the dragon's eye gem had been stimulated by his own magic power. The surging magic fluctuations and the huge pressure, even if
Even a fool can feel it, but after that, the crystal ball didn't even respond at all. What is going on?
Lin Li still refused to give up and circled the crystal ball again. That's right... there was no reaction.
"What's happening here?"
Lin Li was really worried. The dragon's eye gem in his hand was exploded from the eternal fine gold veins. It was as big as a fist. Even if he died, he should have cast a spell.
?How is it possible that there is no movement at all like now? This is too fake...
In the past, when he was in the Endless World, Lin Li had indeed seen some scrapped dragon eye gems. They looked the same, but after inputting magic power, even the lowest level wind blade could not be released.
However, those dragon eye gems were either too small and did not meet the standards for containing magic, or there was an error during mining, causing the internal structure of the dragon eye gem to be severely damaged, directly causing the magic it contained to disappear.
There is no doubt that either of these two situations has nothing to do with the one in my hand.
There’s no need to mention the reason that it’s too small. A piece as big as a fist can kill even a person, let alone one that contains a lot of magic?
As for the destruction of the internal structure, it is equally impossible. A completely destroyed dragon's eye gem will not react to magic at all. In essence, it is just a stubborn stone, so how can it be stimulated by magic?
, emitting that gorgeous golden light?
"I'll fight with you!" Lin Li also didn't believe in evil. After thinking about it for a long time, he found that he couldn't figure it out, so he simply held the longan gem tightly and began to input magic power into it desperately.
He doesn't make any sense now. You need to replenish your magic power once you use it, right? The supplement is that anyway, your magic power is almost unlimited. If it doesn't work once, just try a few more times. I spent a whole day today trying dozens of them.
times, I still don’t believe that I can’t find out whether it’s true or false...
Under Lin Li's huge infusion of magic power, the dragon's eye gem that had just exhausted its magic power was soon filled with that faint orange light again.
After replenishing his magic power, Lin Li took a few steps back.
With his previous experience, he no longer had to output it slowly as before, but directly amplified the magic power to the limit.
In an instant, another dazzling golden light filled the air.
Then……
Longan gem or longan gem, crystal ball or crystal ball, they are all the same dull and dull...
As before, nothing has changed.
"Holy shit!" Lin Li hit his head against the wall.
Just when he was about to replenish his magic power, Lin Li suddenly noticed something strange: "That's wrong..."
This time, he finally remembered that something was wrong.
As the golden light of the dragon's eye gem dissipated, there was no trace of magic fluctuations in the room.
This is a place where spell testing is conducted, and there is no trace of magic fluctuations at all, which is quite strange in itself.
Whether it is the four magic lines in the room or the crystal ball that has been bombarded by magic all year round, they should reveal a trace of magic fluctuations anyway. How could it be possible like now, not even a little bit of magic fluctuations can be felt?
Lin Li himself is an inscription master, and he is extremely familiar with the two magic patterns in the room. Neither the magic protection field nor the elemental annihilation force field has the effect of covering up magic fluctuations, and these two
Magic patterns all need to provide magic power to maintain normal operation. They themselves will reveal a faint magic wave. How can it be like this?
"What's going on..." Lin Li scratched his head, looking even more confused than before.
Lin Li thought about it, but he still couldn't think of a reason.
So, he decided to use a clumsy method.
Of course, he couldn't do this alone, so he had to ask Medellin for help.
Lin Li put the dragon's eye gem back into the Ring of Endless Storm, hurriedly left the spell testing hall, followed the stairs all the way to the second floor, and soon found Medellin's room.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
Just after knocking on the door a few times, I heard Medellin's furious roar from inside: "Who the hell is so blind that you come here to disturb me so early in the morning!"
"Mr. Medellin, this is Feyre." Lin Li was startled. Has this old man taken gunpowder? What time of the day is this? It's still early in the morning. Why didn't you just say it was midnight?
"Oh...it's you, kid, come in...the door is unlocked."
Lin Li reached out and pushed open the door and went in. He saw Medellin sitting there with one foot on the table in a rather uneducated posture.
