It has been almost half a month since the old lair of the Dark Brotherhood was wiped out. During this time, Link spent most of his time in his attic.
Although the attic is very simple, although he has money in his pocket, but the tranquility of the attic of his hotel has not changed his place of residence.
The thesis has made great progress, but Link still can't find a specific and clear direction. Although the things he wrote are very exquisite, the structure is very scattered. There are a bunch of them, which seem to make sense, but But there is no clear main line.
At this time, the law of universal gravitation is far from enough to summarize the contents of the parchment.
This feeling is like a person groping in the dark. You have no idea whether the road ahead is a thorn bush or a smooth road, let alone what you will encounter in front of you.
"In the end, what will I find?" Link looked forward to seeing the characters constantly jumping up the scroll.
However, today's inspiration is not very good. Link wrote for half the morning and felt a little unsustainable. He was not in a hurry, so he simply put down the pen, rested his hands on the back of his head, put his legs on the table, and half-closed his eyes. Look at the Gwent forest bathed in golden sunlight through the small window of the attic.
A rare sense of relaxation and tranquility.
I don't know how long it took before footsteps came from outside the door. The sound was a bit mixed. One footstep was obviously heavy, but it was obviously deliberately lightened, as if it was disturbing him.
Link's heart moved, and he already knew who was coming. When the sound of footsteps reached the door, Link picked up the crescent wand and pointed at the wooden door at will, and activated the hand of the mage.
With a 'click' sound from the wooden door, the door was already opened, and there were three members of Flamingo's mercenary team standing outside the door.
"Come in." Link said.
Yake walked in first, carrying a bulging sack on his back. The attic was narrow and low, and Yake had to keep his head down. After Gredan and Lucy came in, the attic was almost full. .
"Mr. Link, you should find a big room." Gridan couldn't help but said, it's not that he doesn't have money, why should a powerful and noble magician live in such a leaky attic.
Link smiled: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it, and it's relatively quiet here."
He turned to look at Yake again: "So, Werther's treasure has been found?"
Yake nodded and put the sack on the ground. Judging from the sound, this thing was not light. He untied the rope of the sack, opened the bag, and there was a golden light inside, it was gold coins!
"We found 18 treasures, and got a total of 2,900 gold coins. Including the money from selling equipment and jewelry, we got a total of 4,000 gold, which greatly exceeded the expected income. So this time we brought 2,000 gold coins." Yake said softly. Said, as if afraid of being heard.
God knows how nervous he was when he was walking down the street with such a bag of gold coins on his shoulders. If someone accidentally saw him, it would definitely be a bloodbath.
Link's expression didn't change at all, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "We should have agreed on 1,500 gold coins at the beginning, right? Why are there 500 more gold coins?"
What Yake admired the most was Link's deep demeanor. It seemed that nothing in this world could surprise him. He explained: "You are a magician, and the reason why you have been staying in Hegu Town is probably because you want to enter the East. Study at the Valley Academy of Magic?"
Link nodded, he had already guessed what Jake was thinking, but he waited for him to say it himself.
"We have inquired that the tuition fee of East Valley College is 2,000 gold coins. I know that it will be a matter of time before you earn enough money, but study time is precious, and the sooner the better. For our current strength , it is not a good thing to take so many gold coins, and we can't spend the money, so we should keep it, it is better to use it for you."
For ordinary people, the purchasing power of gold coins is astonishing. If it is just for daily needs such as food, drink, and other daily necessities, 30 gold coins can make a person live a decent life for a year. After 2,000 gold coins were given to Link, the three of them Divide the remaining 2,000 gold coins equally, and each person gets more than 650 gold coins, which is already a huge sum of money.
For the three of them, so many gold coins are enough to satisfy their wishes that they have been unable to achieve before.
For example, Yake, he finally bought a suit of fine steel armor. Lucy, the swift rapier she valued at the blacksmith shop for a long time has become her new weapon, and she has also changed into a tough crocodile leather armor. As for Gridan, not to mention the longbow, even the arrows have been changed. Now, all he uses are carved-feather fine steel swords, which cost 3 silver coins each, which is outrageously expensive.
The three of them even bought a small yard in Hegu Town as a temporary residence for the mercenary team.
These are things that I never even thought about before.
Of course, they are not without ambitions in their hearts. Yake has always wanted to establish a mercenary group of his own, but the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cold and ruthless. The biggest limitation is that their own strength is too weak.
Yake is a level 3 fighter, and Lucy and Gridan are both level 2. For an independent mercenary team, this strength is not bad, but for a mercenary group, this strength is far from enough.
For example, now, they get so many gold coins, but they only dare to exchange for ordinary equipment, but they dare not spend a lot of money to buy magic equipment. Was assassinated, things were robbed.
Link was moved by Yake's statement. He thought for a while and nodded: "I really need the money. If so, I will accept it."
2,000 gold coins is the admission price for civilians. He is a son of a nobleman, so he should be able to get a lot of discounts for admission. However, learning magic is also very expensive, and he doesn't mind having more savings in his pocket.
Yake showed a smile on his face, while Lucy looked at the sack full of gold coins, with a trace of reluctance in her eyes. Gridan, he has already exited the attic in pain, and if he stays any longer, he will not be able to resist trying to grab the money back.
After accepting the gold coins, Link suddenly said, "The Brotherhood of Darkness has been destroyed. This news cannot be concealed. I am afraid that many people have been secretly following you recently, right?"
Originally, they were just temporary partners, and there was nothing to do after the cooperation was completed, but this Yake has a good temperament. Judging from his behavior of sending 2,000 gold coins today, this person is very ambitious and has a good vision, and he is very willing to invest .
If such a person is given a chance, he will definitely be able to fly!
Although Link was tricked into this different world by the Lord of Radiance, he will be at ease once he comes. Although the task of saving the world is somewhat unreliable, whether it is to continuously gain freedom points to make himself stronger, or to be able to With a good living environment, instead of being chased around by the dark army like wild dogs, he will always work hard to change the world.
The task of fighting against the Dark Legion is a bit difficult, and he will definitely not be able to rely on him alone. He needs helpers. Now it seems that the Flamingo team is very good and worthy of cooperation.
Link was right, the flamingo mercenary group has indeed been in some trouble recently.
Yake sighed and frowned slightly: "Recently, the underground forces in Gwent Forest have become a mess. We are very careful when selling equipment, but we can't hide it. During this time, we have sent several Dial the snooper."
Fortunately, their strength is not bad in Gwent Forest, otherwise, whether they can live now is a problem.
In the final analysis, they are still not strong enough. They don't really have the power to destroy the Brotherhood of Darkness. They can do it mainly because of Link.
Yake estimates that they are still alive until now, in large part because those snoopers haven't figured out their cards.
As soon as these words came out, Lucy's and Gridan's expressions became a little gloomy, and they both felt tremendous pressure.
Although he got a lot of money, if he was not careful, he might lose his life. When I have no money, I want to have money, but when I have money, I am afraid of being missed. This is really tangled.
Link asked back: "Then why don't you take the money and leave here? Go to the Southern Freedom League, where no one knows you, and there will be no trouble."
Yake smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your gold coins have not been sent to you yet, how can we leave? Besides, we are not strong enough, it is the same everywhere, and it will be very dangerous if we show our wealth."
I don't know why, when he said this, Yake suddenly had a strange premonition, as if... as if... his life was entering a turning point, a turning point from ordinary to great.
Sure enough, after he said this, Link laughed, not the polite smile before, but a sincere smile: "Very well, just for what you did today, I will give you a chance."
He now has 39 free points, and these points can buy a level 3 magic, and among the level 3 magic, there is a very magical mysterious magic.
It is said to be miraculous because this magic can change a fighter's physical aptitude, allowing a fighter who is unlikely to have fighting spirit to get a breakthrough.
The essence of a warrior's fighting spirit is the application of various forces. In the final analysis, it is actually a kind of magic, but it is very crude and primitive magic.
For a long period of time, fighters have used very crudely the battle qi, and the battle qi they have is also very thin. Very few fighters can break through level 4. As for level 6, level 7, level 8, it has to come out once in hundreds of years An achievement that can only be achieved by a peerless genius.
But a thousand years ago, there was a magician named 'Waynes' who changed this situation. He did a very detailed study on the fighting spirit of soldiers. This magician is very wonderful. In order to obtain research materials, Hunting and killing powerful fighters everywhere, it is said that he even killed a genius level 8 powerhouse, and then dissected him alive, or vivisection!
In the end, he obtained the ultimate secret of battle qi and created a mysterious school of magic called 'battle qi science'.
Yes, a warrior's fighting spirit can be obtained by virtue of talent, but it can also be obtained through acquired training. The essence of this training method is a mysterious magic. Of course, this is the name of a magician. In the warrior world, people I prefer to call this magic the battle qigong method.
Soon, Link found the foundational magic of the mysticism of battle qi in the magic list.
