The black crystal is about the size of a fist, and it looks round at first glance, but it is actually a polyhedron, somewhat resembling a football. Its material is translucent, and it looks like amber. Through it, you can see the dancing candles in the room. fire.
Suddenly, this thing seems to be very ordinary, just a piece of black spar, something that can be seen everywhere in gem shops.
The only thing that is a little special is that, under close perception, one can clearly feel a hint of dark aura emanating from the crystal.
This breath is very faint. If it weren't for Link's extremely keen perception and the distance so close, he wouldn't be able to perceive it at all.
After observing it carefully for a while, the item information jumped out of the field of vision.
Intermediate Dominic Crystal (alias: Universal Crystal)
Quality: Flawless
Level: 5
Function: Used to store power, which can be elements, mysterious power, transforming force field, magic energy, etc.
Current Status: Power of Darkness (fullness 25%)
Seeing the news, Link's heart skipped a beat, and he was overjoyed!
Domink crystal, a strange crystal invented by a genius alchemist named Domink a thousand years ago, it is extremely powerful, and its refining is extremely complicated, so it is very expensive. Link estimates that this one in his hand has much time Minke crystal, although it is only level 5, is worth at least 8000 gold coins, and it is still priceless.
What a big profit!
For a magician, this thing is very, very powerful.
For example, Link, when he releases the glass beads, the shortest time is currently 0.04 seconds. During this time, less than 0.01 seconds is used by Link himself to build the magic structure, and the other 0.03 seconds is the time for the elements to gather.
The glass beads are like this, not to mention the whistle. In the 0.2 second casting time, at least 0.15 seconds are used to wait for the elements to converge.
But with this Dominic crystal, as long as Link stores elements in it, such as fire elements, then when he releases fire magic, this period of time is almost negligible, so the time he releases glass beads, It is estimated that it only takes a little more than 0.01 seconds, and the whistle is estimated to only take 0.05 seconds, and even level 3 and level 4 fire elemental magic may break through the 1 second mark.
That's not all, if you store mana in it, then Link's mana endurance will immediately increase a lot, and the previous embarrassment of mana shortage will be greatly improved!
All in all, the Dominic crystal is the god-level equipment that every magician dreams of!
However, this crystal cannot be used directly now, and it still has one last problem, that is, this crystal is full of dark power imported by Morpheus, and he has to find a way to get rid of it.
'Looking for a pastor? '
This was the first thought that came to Link's mind. In the previous game, he also got this kind of dark Domink crystal, and he usually spent money to find a priest to get rid of it.
But that's the game, here's the reality. Such a rare treasure, looking for a priest? It is estimated that everyone will know about it soon, and whether he can keep the crystal is a question.
The difference between the game and the reality is that the game is essentially a world with abundant supplies and extremely protected players' rights and interests. If things are gone, just refresh the data.
However, in the real Ferroman continent, materials are scarce, especially spell-casting materials. Otherwise, the prices of various magic materials would not be so high.
So Link immediately vetoed this decision.
"Then we can only use local methods. Although it takes a long time, the victory is that there are no sequelae."
In the previous game, some magicians were reluctant to spend the purification fee, and they didn't have an alchemy room to use, so they thought of a "living water purification method." '
The specific method is that the magician puts the dark Dominic crystal in running water such as streams, rivers, and mountain streams. Under the guidance of the water element, the dark power in the Dominic crystal will be released at a faster rate, as in the hands of Link. This level 5 Dominic crystal should contain the power of darkness that can release at least a level 5 magic, so it will take nearly a month to purify it. If it is 25% complete, then ten days will be about the same up.
However, there is a problem with this method, releasing the power of darkness into the river is no less than poisoning the river water. Think about it, if the dark power contained in a level 5 magic is converted into a fire element, the power of the explosion is absolutely not Less than a cloud bomb!
If such a huge amount of dark power is released into a river, the creatures in the river will be absolutely dead, and if someone drinks the water in the river, they will also be seriously ill.
In short, this method is very immoral.
In the previous game, Link received a task called 'Leave the Shameless Magician a lesson! '. Among them, the shameless magician did such a stupid thing, causing all the crops in the farmland next to a small village below the stream to die, all the water was undrinkable, and even the ancestral graves were black smoked.
Of course Link can't do this kind of thing, he has ways to improve.
But now it was late at night, and Link was recovering from his injuries, so it was not suitable to stay up late. After releasing another elemental treatment for himself, Link put away the Domink crystal and fell asleep.
Nothing to say all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Link's body had basically recovered. He received the elemental essence supplemented by the elemental treatment and had a full rest.
After breakfast, Yake, Lucy, and Gridan went out to continue processing the spoils, while Link stayed alone in the mercenary yard.
He went alone to the attic above his room. The floor of the attic was also made of stone, which was very strong. Above it was the roof. There was a skylight made of glass on the roof. The sunlight came in, making the attic extremely bright.
Link began to cast a spell. He used the enchantment spell: shaping, and cut out a large water tank on the stone floor. The mouth of the water tank was just facing the skylight of the roof. No, to be precise, it was almost connected. You can't see what's going on in the tank from the attic.
Then, Link poured clean water into the tank.
The water tank is very large, cylindrical, nearly 1.5 meters high, and 2 meters in diameter. Link filled it with four to five tons of water before it was almost full. If he hadn't specially reinforced the attic floor with plastic surgery, it would The building is estimated to be crushed.
After adding clean water, Link threw the Domink crystal into the tank, and then he started the final step.
He climbed to the roof, near the attic window, and used the shaping technique on the window again, completely integrating the skylight with the surrounding structure, making it impossible to open, this is to prevent someone from stealing his crystal silently.
Then, Link continued to use plastic surgery to modify the structure of the light-transmitting crystal of the skylight. After some complicated adjustments, the structure of the crystal changed dramatically. From the outside, everything was normal, but the inside was actually a set of sophisticated Light and shadow structure.
No matter which angle the sunlight enters from, it will be focused by this sophisticated crystal structure, and then transmitted to the dark Dominic crystal in the water tank.
Sunshine is the greatest brilliance in the world, it can restrain all dark breaths, when the sun shines on the Dominic crystal, it can immediately eliminate the dark breath permeating the crystal, so that it will not be noticed by the outside world, and at the same time It can also ensure that the concentration of dark breath in the water in the tank is always at an extremely low level, which has the same effect as running water.
In order to avoid the lack of sunlight, Link used plastic surgery to open an additional large skylight in the attic to direct the light from it to the water tank, which ensured that even on cloudy days with insufficient sunlight, the play a sufficient role in purification.
As for the night, it doesn't matter, the power of darkness overflowing from the dark Dominic crystal will be absorbed by the clear water first, until the clear water is saturated, and then it will start to overflow outward.
And one night is obviously not enough to saturate the clear water, so the outside world will not feel any abnormal dark aura.
The weather in Gwent Forest is good today, and the sun is strong. Standing in the attic, Link carefully felt the efficiency of the purification, and laughed: "It is estimated that in a month, I will be able to harvest a pure Domink crystal. "
Although it took a long time, it is safe and secret, and will not be noticed.
He left the attic, and before he left, he directly used the shaping technique to remove the door. From a distance, there was only one wall left.
Anyway, this attic is on the top of Link's room, and Yake and others will not come over. If this is done, the chance of the crystal being discovered will be completely eliminated.
It's not that Link wants to guard against Yake and others, but that there are some things about magicians. It doesn't matter whether they know it or not. If they know it, they should worry about it, so why bother
After finishing this, it was noon.
After waiting for a while, the three of Yake also came back. They had already sold the loot in the black market in Hegu Town, and harvested 2,500 gold coins, with an extra 200 gold coins. When eating lunch, all of them were smiling.
Seeing their happy faces, Link was also very happy.
After the meal, Link took out the letter he found in the Syndicate's lair and said, "This is the correspondence between the black-robed magician who attacked us in the Red Leaf Valley that day and his friend. The elf, named Philidia, and his friends live in a place in the Howling Bluffs. Do you know this place?"
Several people recalled it, and then shook their heads.
But Yake said: "A few new faces have come to the town recently, basically mercenaries from the north, but there are also a few bards who have traveled from north to south. Maybe they know this place. I'll go find out in the afternoon. "
"Well, good." Link nodded, and then said: "I'm going to East Valley Academy of Magic to study magic tomorrow, and I don't usually come out very often. If you have anything to do, let Lucy write to me. Also, Yake, Gridan, you two are about to start learning to read."
Among the three, Lucy was the only one who could read and write, and she was good at arithmetic, so she could become the steward of the mercenary team.
"Okay." Yake and Gridan agreed with a bitter face.
"As for the gold coins, it is enough for me to bring the tuition fee and 100 gold coins for extra expenses. The remaining nearly 4,000 gold coins will be left here."
"My lord..." Lucy disagreed.
"Listen to me." Link raised his hand and pressed it down, stopping Lucy's words: "I don't need to spend money at the East Valley Magic Academy for the time being. But now, our strength in Hegu Town is already very good , Yake is a powerful fighter at level 4, and also has Anderson Knights as the upper-level relationship. I think it's time to consider recruiting people and forming a mercenary group."
Having said that, the three of them immediately retorted speechlessly. It has always been the dream of Yake and others to form a mercenary group, and the conditions are indeed very mature now.
