Sitting on the bed, Adier quietly thought about his current situation.
At this time, after more than three months, his meditation has progressed very quickly. At this time, most of the thirty-six spiritual runes recorded on it can be meditated successfully. It is estimated that he will be able to meditate on all of them in another two or three months.
The meditation is over and I have advanced to the second-class apprenticeship.
Compared with other apprentices, this speed is already very fast. But at this point, the knowledge that needs to be learned is much more, most of which is the content of paid courses, which not only increases the difficulty of learning, but also consumes more.
Much bigger.
This is just a paid public course. If you later want to learn the unique knowledge of those instructors and purchase the witchcraft templates that you need to learn after being promoted to a second-class apprentice, the required magic stones will almost scare people to death.
"Forget it, just dreaming can't solve anything. Let's go to other places in the academy every day to see if we can find some way to earn magic stones."
Sitting on the bed, Adil covered his head with a headache. Finally, he gave up thinking for the time being and sat on the bedside to continue today's meditation.
the next day.
When the sun shone on the earth, Adil came to the underground space of the academy.
This place is located on the basement level of the college, and its area is much larger than the college on the ground.
In the past half year, Adil was not familiar with this place because it was not necessary. He only visited it once when he first entered the academy.
There are small markets all around, and gray-robed apprentices have set up stalls in various places, with all kinds of things hanging on them, including some common materials and other things that are undoubtedly available.
When passing by here, Adil glanced around casually. Most of the stalls here were first-class apprentices, and high-level apprentices were extremely rare.
As for the things they put on display, there were all kinds of strange things, but most of them were junk items. There might be some good stuff among them, but there was a high possibility of encountering counterfeit items, which would put the apprentice's eyesight to a great test.
"Eh..."
Suddenly, Adil showed a hint of surprise on his face and saw some familiar things around him.
That was the stall of a gray robe apprentice. Judging from the medal worn on the gray robe, he should be a first-class apprentice.
In the apprentice's stall, there are some dark black metals, which look very pure and sparkle with an inexplicable luster.
"Hello, do you need anything?"
Seeing Adil parked in front of his stall, the gray-robed apprentice looked at Adil and said.
"Hello." Adier nodded: "Excuse me, what is the use of these metals?"
"These are black Ruigang, which is considered a low-grade demonic material."
The apprentice in front of him explained: "This kind of black Ruigang is usually an associated mine of magic stone. Because it has been accumulated with a large number of magic stones for a long time, it has some unique characteristics and can be used to make some magic items.
.”
"Of course, even if it is not used to make magical items, these black Ruigang itself are better than ordinary metals. Not only are they strong and lightweight, but they also have good conductivity to mana and life energy."
"But this is of little use to wizard apprentices like us. It is quite good to use it to make weapons for those big knights."
Having said this, a smile appeared on the man's face: "How about it? As long as you have one magic stone, all the black steel in front of you is yours. If you use it to make weapons, you can make a lot of them."
Listening to the other party's words, Adil subconsciously touched his waist, where a long sword made of black Ruigang was hanging, and then asked: "I'm sorry, there seems to be no use for these things."
Hearing this answer, the apprentice in front of him was not surprised and sat back down: "I guess so, you don't seem to need these things."
"What? Business is bad?"
Adil looked around and said casually.
At this time, there were apprentices walking around intermittently. Although there were not many people at other stalls, it was not like here where almost no one came.
"yes."
It seems that because there is no business, the apprentice in front of him also chatted with Adier: "Although the material Black Ruigang can be used to make demonic items, it is not too precious in itself, and it can be used to refine demonic items.
There are very few wizards in the world, and there are not even a few official wizards in the academy, let alone these apprentices."
"I have been setting up a stall here for so long, and except for the last time I met a third-class apprentice who bought some, I have never sold anything."
The gray-robed apprentice in front of me was a little helpless: "If I hadn't been here to sell things just by the way, I would have left directly."
"By the way?" Adier was a little confused.
"Yes." Looking at Adier, the gray-robed apprentice said casually: "My mentor is mentor Grammo who teaches materials and anatomy. He is also one of the few people in the academy who can refine magical items.
Ordinary experiments require a lot of excellent materials."
"The reason why I came here is that I hope to buy some materials from those apprentices that they accidentally obtained. As for the black Ruigang in front of me, it's just a way. After all, it's not good to just set up a stall without selling anything."
After saying this, he paused and looked at Adil: "If you have any precious materials, you can come to me in the future. The price will definitely satisfy you."
Adier's heart moved: "What kind of materials are you mainly purchasing? Let me see if there is anything on my body that matches."
"Materials from various rare creatures, or some rare minerals, and the flesh and blood of some bloodline creatures are also fine."
The apprentice turned around and looked at Adil: "As long as the materials are rare enough or have some unique properties, I will accept them here."
Standing there, Adier thought for a moment and finally took out a gray item.
This is a single horn, all gray with a little inexplicable markings on it, looking simple and mysterious.
"Eh..."
When he saw this single horn, the gray-robed apprentice had a surprised expression on his face.
He took over the unicorn and used various methods to test it in front of Adil. In the end, his face couldn't help but become solemn: "The strength and toughness far exceeded the standards, and the specific detailed structure was the same as anything I know."
It’s incompatible with all kinds of creatures, so it shouldn’t be a southern species.”
"Where did you get this?"
At the end of the analysis, he couldn't help but look at Adier and asked him.
In response, Adil had a smile on his face and didn't seem to want to answer at all.
In fact, it is normal for the other party not to recognize it.
This material came from the apocalyptic world that Adil had visited before. It came from a powerful insect beast at the knight level. Because of its good strength, I collected some by the way.
Because of the urgent shortage of magic stones, he specially brought some with him this time, just to try his luck and see if anyone was interested in these things.
Opposite him, looking at Adil's expression, the gray-robed apprentice shrugged: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
"According to my experience, this material should have good value. Although some conventional data standards are only general, its structure is very different from other organisms, and it is likely to have some special properties."
He analyzed slowly, then looked at Adil and continued to ask: "Do you have a lot of this kind of material on your hands?"
"It's not bad."
Standing there, Adier thought for a while and gave this answer.
In that apocalyptic world, in order to obtain the blessing of that mysterious power, he had hunted many bug beasts and collected quite a lot of materials.
Although they come from different individuals, they come from the same apocalyptic world and should be about the same value.
"That's good."
After Adil reluctantly, the gray-robed apprentice looked at the gray horn in his hand with great interest, and said to Adil: "I have never seen this kind of material, so if you want to measure the specific value, you must
Leave it to my mentor to make his own judgment."
Having said this, he directly took out two magic stones from his waist and handed them to Adil: "These can be regarded as the deposit in advance. In a few days, you can come over with the materials you are prepared to trade.
I'll wait for you here."
Adier thought for a while and finally nodded, agreeing with the plan.
"Yes, my name is Isis."
Suddenly, the apprentice in front of him spoke: "What's your name?"
"Adier." Adier's face remained unchanged and he spoke.
They continued to talk here for a while, and after agreeing on a specific time and place for the transaction, they left.
After leaving, Adil looked at the two magic stones in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that the value of that batch of alien materials is not low. It should be able to be exchanged for a batch of magic stones."
Thinking about the batch of materials placed in the accommodation, Adil thought: "But this is only a one-time income. The wizard's learning itself is a bottomless pit. We still have to find a way to continuously obtain magic stones."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked quickly towards the distance.
As his footsteps continued to move forward, the surrounding scenery slowly moved backwards, and did not stop until he reached a corner.
"This is it."
Adil looked up and looked ahead, then quickly walked in.
This is a special place in the academy, where some tasks are issued.
The scope of the entire academy is too large and involves too many things. To maintain the normal operation of the entire academy requires a large number of people, so occasionally some things that need to be done are released in the form of tasks for qualified apprentices in the academy to accept them.
.
In addition, if some wizards or wizard apprentices need help from others, they will sometimes post some tasks here as private bounties.
Entering the hall, there are pieces of white stone slabs displayed inside. Although there are no inscriptions on them, there is a slight mental fluctuation.
The tablets themselves are a unique material that can hold the wizard's spiritual messages, keeping some information on them.
After arriving here, Adil glanced around casually.
Around them, wizard apprentices wearing gray robes and indifferent faces were walking around, but there were not too many of them, only about a dozen or so. Everyone was in a hurry and looked very busy.
