"I told you, I can't open the back door for you, you damn bastard, get out of here!"
Taylor, who had just submitted the task of collecting salamander scales, came to the apprenticeship In the library, Oak's violent voice was heard, and then a whirlwind rolled up from the ground and threw an unlucky guy directly away.
Looking at the embarrassed figure of the unlucky guy turning around and leaving, Taylor raised an eyebrow, pushed open the door of the apprentice library, and saw Oak, who still had some anger on his face.
"What happened just now?"
Seeing Taylor coming, Oak waved his hands angrily, took out two glasses from under the counter, poured two glasses of water, handed one to Taylor, and put the other in front of him.
"He is just a second-level wizard apprentice with almost no hope. He is almost 30 years old. He is still stuck at this stage. He has been unable to outline his fourth witchcraft model. This life can be regarded as the end."
Oak He shook his head. After becoming a third-level wizard apprentice, he failed. When he tried to be promoted to a first-level wizard, he suffered irreversible mental damage and then started working as the librarian of the apprentice library.
"He has been begging me, hoping that I can give him a lower point price to exchange for a book of wizards' mental power increase. He wants to use it, but he does not have enough points, and it involves spiritual knowledge like this. But it's very expensive."
At this point, Oak's mouth twisted, and he didn't know what he was laughing at. Maybe it was the unlucky guy who overestimated his abilities just now, or maybe he was the failed one now.
Looking at Oak now with a slightly mocking smile on his face, Taylor asked.
"Then why did you give me a half fold on that witchcraft prop?"
"That's because you have investment value. You have to know that a boy of about nine years old can become a first-level wizard apprentice. It represents a high level of witchcraft talent."
Oak picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip of hot water, and then continued.
"Do you really think it's because you're cute? Or do you think we people have the intention to promote the younger generation? I'll save you, Tutus from the Miscellaneous Department, and Gili from the Miscellaneous Department, and replace them with other ordinary apprentices. Lian Jian There is no chance to reach them."
"They are just like me, they have no possibility of going further, but they are doing the fattest job among the apprentices. If we want to protect our positions, we must invest in those powerful wizards. Apprentices, even if they can't become wizards, being our friends is a deterrent. What's more, when they become noble wizards, the random gifts they give us are enough to keep us going." After listening to Oak's words
. , Taylor has no dissatisfaction. The wizard's basic rules clearly point out that everything has its own laws, and the most fundamental of these laws is gain and loss. Every time you enjoy a benefit, you will pay a price.
Exchange of equal value is the truth that wizards most uphold. After reaping the benefits, they must return them in the future.
"Then when I become a powerful wizard in the future, I will definitely repay your help to me."
Looking at Taylor's childish but extremely serious face, Oak laughed and took out a small black bag from the inner pocket of his clothes. He scooped out a spoonful of powder, put it into a smaller fabric bag and handed it to Taylor.
"What I'm waiting for is your words. Take this thing. When you feel mentally tired or even a little stressed, take out half a fingernail's worth and put it into a water glass and drink it with hot water. Let's drink."
Taylor reached out to take the small fabric bag and looked up at Oak, who then explained.
"This thing is also rare among wizard apprentices. There is no such thing in the clutter. It can relieve mental stress and mental fatigue. This thing was given to me by a wizard I invested in before. I don't know where this wizard has gone now, he hasn't been here for many years."
This is a good thing.
Taylor's eyes seemed to be shining, and he quickly put the small fabric bag into the inner pocket of his chest, and then asked anxiously.
"When I finish drinking, can I buy some more from you?"
"It's just that small bag of 100 points. I'll give it to you this time... Just give me 40 points." "
I'll pay you back. I really thought you were going to give it to me, didn't you mean you were going to invest in me?"
"When I give you a discount, it's already considered an investment in you. You must know that in the world of wizards, there is never anything for nothing. Everything is an exchange of equal value. Stop talking nonsense and get me the points quickly."
Reluctantly After handing in 40 points, Taylor remembered the purpose of his visit.
"By the way, Oak, I almost forgot what I came here for this time. I want to exchange the witchcraft model of Black Mist and a book of witchcraft runes basics."
A very correct choice.
The black mist technique is often used to block the enemy's sight or when escaping, and is very practical.
Witchcraft runes are an extension and further manifestation of the wizard's power. They can be used to make witchcraft arrays, witchcraft props, witchcraft puppets, etc. It can be said that they are the carrier of the wizard's power.
Oak nodded, then turned around and entered the library, taking out two books.
"The black mist witchcraft model is worth 125 points, and the witchcraft rune base is worth 100 points." "
Why aren't these two discounted?"
"These are the prices clearly marked by the great wizards. The Fire Medal and the black powder are mine. Can it be the same for private assistance?"
"Oh."
"Don't forget to return it after 14 days."
"Oh."
Looking at Taylor's leaving figure, Okla opened another cabinet, which was filled with the things just bag.
Young people are easy to fool...
After returning to his small room, Taylor immediately began to study the newly acquired witchcraft model.
"There are a total of 16 mental power nodes and four witchcraft runes."
Taylor carefully studied the explanation of the witchcraft model he received. The black mist spell has one more witchcraft rune than the secondary fireball spell of his first witchcraft model. Wen also needs 5 more mental power nodes.
This also means that the model is more complex, consumes more magic power, and is more prone to accidents when connecting the model.
According to the records in the book, the four witchcraft runes each represent vision, smell, hearing and fog. This means that after this witchcraft is cast, it will block the target's vision, smell, hearing, or fog. form.
After about three hours, Taylor felt that his head was dizzy. He immediately put down the book in his hand and dug out a small piece of black powder with the nail of his index finger from the small cloth bag in his inner pocket. Brew with hot water.
After drinking the light black liquid into his stomach, Taylor immediately felt that his head was very clear, as if the feeling of fog shrouding his head just now disappeared in an instant.
"This is indeed a good thing. Time is precious, so we must make use of it quickly."
