Chapter 87: The darkness is always there, just another way out

Views:

Although he was a little puzzled, Link took the letter and put it away, and said, "Ailette, send my regards to your mentor."

"I'll bring it." Ailette packed up the things on the stone table, and after making an appointment with Link for the next communication time, he turned and left.

Link didn't leave directly. He turned his head and looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he opened Verola's letter and took out the letter paper to read.

There is not much content in the letter, just a short paragraph, and the language used is not the common language of the human race, but the almost lost language of the ancient earth spirit ruins.

In order to communicate with Verola smoothly, Link has specially learned this character, so he can understand it.

"My friend, I'm sorry to disturb you again, but this time the situation is a bit special. Dean Master Anthony told me recently that the academy's monitoring magic sensed some strange dark forces appearing in Gwent Forest. Although this force is hidden , but the breath revealed shows that its essence may be very powerful, not even lower than level 6. I have sent the magic crow to investigate first, and once I get the exact information, I will do it myself. But in order not to attract the attention of the magician Bell, this It will be a secret mission, and I can only go alone. At that time, I may need a helper. If you agree to go with me, please contact me in time so that I can prepare early. When the time comes, I will use it properly Reasonable reasons for you to temporarily leave the Magic Academy. I estimate that I will set off in a month, this mission is very dangerous, if you plan to go with me, please be fully prepared."

After reading the letter, a flash of fire flashed in Link's hand, and the letter paper was burned to ashes. At the same time, he felt information flashing again in his vision. He looked over and saw that it was the information of a new mission.

Start the mission: peer

Task content: When the time is right, leave the Academy of Magic and help Verola investigate the source of darkness in Gwent Forest.

Task reward: 100 free points.

Seeing such a high reward, Link felt awe-inspiring. This task is probably not easy.

But can he refuse Verola's request? Obviously not, the other party is an angel of light, his staunch ally on the road against darkness, since he needs his help, he will naturally go all out.

Link chose to accept.

Fortunately, there is still one month left. At that time, Link's magic weakness period has passed, and his Domink crystal has been purified. During this time, he should be able to develop a few more super magic skills and accumulate more magic skills. Some free points.

By then, he will be a very powerful level 4 magician.

"These should be enough for this task."

However, even with so many preparations, Link still felt a little guilty. He faintly felt that when he blocked an exit where the darkness emerged according to the memory of the game in his previous life, these dark forces began to look for other exits again. Now, Link has no idea about these new exits.

As he continues to change history, his pre-knowledge advantage is constantly being lost.

"The darkness has always been there, and now it just changed its way. I really don't know what kind of disaster will happen when it finally erupts." Link sighed.

At this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky in the valley was already a bit dark. Link had been busy all day and felt a little tired, so he wandered slowly back to Bell's Magic Tower. When he returned to the hall on the first floor of the Magic Tower, He saw all the magic apprentices in the hall gathered together, and on the podium, Drake, who was playing the role of the supervisor of Bell Tower of Magic, was talking on the podium.

Link also went to his place in the corner and sat down to listen.

"... All in all, this order from the Kingdom's military is huge, and the requirements for quality, especially stability, are very high. The instructor's requirement is that the task must be completed with the highest quality within the agreed time..."

On the podium, Drake spoke impassionedly, but all the magic apprentices under the podium showed bitterness.

After listening for a while, Link understood. It seems that the Kingdom of Norton is preparing to launch a retaliatory attack on the Kingdom of Pelind in the Black Forest. Naturally, before departure, all kinds of materials must be prepared, and all kinds of magic scrolls and alchemy potions are naturally within the scope of military procurement.

This incident has never happened in the previous life. In the previous life, Greenstone was successfully massacred, and all the residents were sacrificed by the dark elves. The dark elves directly got the favor of Rose, the queen of the spider, and obtained the artifact. After that, the Norton kingdom has always been in defeat.

"History is changing, I don't know what the result of this dispatch will be?" For some reason, Link felt a little inexplicably heavy.

Because he came late, Link missed a lot of news, so he went directly to Warwick, the magic apprentice who was in charge of the magic scroll.

"Warwick, what exactly is the mission?"

Warwick's face was full of bitterness, and he stretched out five fingers to compare: "Starting today, we will draw 5 magic scrolls a day, everyone is like this, and it will last for 20 days, because our magic scrolls are allotted to us. The task of the tower is to have a total of 800 level 0 scrolls, and I have to draw the same."

In this way, Link understood. He now knows that there are only 7 apprentices who write scrolls in the Magic Tower, and Warwick adds up to 8, 800, and 100 for each individual. It takes 20 days to complete, one person per day Exactly five.

However, the mana and energy of magic apprentices are limited. The more scrolls you draw in a day, the higher the failure rate will be after your energy drops. The task of 5 scrolls a day is really difficult for middle and low-level magic apprentices. is a very difficult task.

Then, as a senior magic apprentice and the person in charge of the magic scroll, Warwick must fill in the gap himself.

Thinking of the hellish days ahead, Warwick wanted to die.

Link's heart moved, and he asked again: "It's just level 0 magic, is there any requirement for specific magic?"

"Yes, the military only buys the secondary sharpness and secondary armor two auxiliary scrolls. Nothing else is required."

"But now I only know... secondary armor." It would be a bit shocking to say that I have mastered both, but it is more normal to master a 0-level auxiliary magic in two weeks.

"Huh? You know how to use secondary armor?" Warwick's eyes lit up suddenly. He didn't count Link in at all, because Link has only drawn stone spurs.

"I just learned it, and I haven't had time to say it yet, because I'm still not familiar with it, and I'm afraid of being laughed at." Link spread his hands, then stretched out his finger, and touched himself a little. After 1 second, a slightly green light appeared on Lin Ke. Ke spread out until it covered the whole body densely.

It was level 0 magic: Lesser Armor.

Warwick was overjoyed immediately: "It's okay, it's okay, the more you practice, the better you will be, haha, what good news!"

Now, there are 9 people who can participate in the task, and his burden is much lighter at once.

After Draco finished speaking, Warwick gathered the magic apprentices who drew the scrolls and announced, "Time is short and the task is heavy. Let's start now."

As he spoke, he distributed 10 blank scrolls and a bottle of silver ink to everyone.

The magic apprentices sighed and left with the scrolls and ink, but Link was still taciturn. He also returned to his room, but he was not in a hurry to draw the scrolls, but continued to read the magic book.

As for drawing scrolls, wait till you get tired of reading books, run out of inspiration for writing a thesis, and need to change your mind. Anyway, this matter is very simple.

Good news is often accompanied by bad news. At 4 pm the next day, another accident happened to the group of apprentices who drew the magic scrolls.

There were 2 magic apprentices, perhaps because they were too nervous, they stayed up all night writing magic scrolls, but they made mistakes, and the magic energy backfired. Although they didn't kill them because of the low level of magic energy, but he had to rest for at least a month. recover.

During this month, the two cannot touch any matters related to magic.

As a result, the number of people who drew magic scrolls became 7 to make matters worse. Among them, Link had just mastered magic and was a complete novice. Warwick was devastated. He just hoped that there would be no more accidents!

"Five cards a day, not too many. If you feel powerless, don't force it to finish. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. I will find a way!" Warwick repeatedly emphasized that he was afraid that his magic apprentices would get into trouble.

As for himself, it was inevitable that the order would not be completed, so he began to draw scrolls like crazy. By the second night, he had written 8 scrolls by himself, but his whole body was like an eggplant beaten by Shuang.

Warwick also had no choice. This time the Norton military’s action was a bit big. He originally wanted to spend money to buy some scrolls in the market to make up the number, but all the scrolls in the world were sold out, and he couldn’t buy them with money. So he had to work hard on his own.

What a poor fellow.

Link felt a little sympathetic to him, that's all, this is an opportunity for him to make a difference in Bell Magic Tower, so let him help him.
