[The third update, the fourth update will be tomorrow, I am not fooling anyone...]
Saleen has already made a judgment in his mind. It seems that the Star Gathering Needle is like a magician's magic book. It can store the power of stars and release attacks. WwW. QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO. cO
Saleen himself doesn't use magic books very much because of habit. In fact, if a magician has a complete magic book, he won't even consider using a magic wand.
The astrologer's star gathering needle is like the magician's magic book, which is the most suitable equipment to use.
After carefully inspecting the magic tower for Salin, the old man said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with this magic tower. What is lacking is the magic array. Only the magic furnace is not enough."
"I know, that's why I asked for your help." Salin became much more polite after hearing the old man's words. This was already a normal transaction attitude. He had trapped himself for eighteen hundred years, and helping to repair the magic tower was considered an equal exchange.
"But the original magic circle in this magic tower has been completely destroyed, and I can't even copy it." The old man said, but felt a little guilty in his heart. Because he could still copy the original magic circle, but the cost would be too high. To extract the power of the stars at the core of the Astrology Building, it would take too much energy.
This astrological building is the basis for his survival. If it consumes too much energy, it will not be able to recover itself. Don't wait for Salin to come back then, he will die faster than the people in the cemetery.
"How could I let a great astrologer do such a thing? Old sir, I just need you to do me a small favor and purify this elemental stone to level 18."
Salin's words made the old man smile bitterly. He couldn't refuse this request. Although refining the elemental stones was quite expensive, he could easily do it. If he were a magician, he would definitely not agree to this request, but would be willing to refine the magic circle for Salin. But he is not a magician, and a simple matter like refining a magic circle is more difficult to consume than purifying elemental stones.
The starry sky on the top of the astrology building once again transmitted the power of the stars. The old man purified all the elemental stones on the elemental magic tower for Saleen and turned them into level 18 elemental stones. This time, it took the old man three days.
Fortunately, although the consumption of purifying elemental stones is high, some excess energy will be derived during the purification process, which will be absorbed back by the Astrology Building, finally making up for some losses.
Saleen was happy that the elemental stone had reached level 18. He took the magic tower back and asked the ninth-level magicians to help refine the magic circle inside.
The elemental stones at level 18 are extremely pure, making it relatively easy to refine the magic circle and easy to erase. I already have the knowledge of the magic furnace, and I can completely turn this elemental magic tower into a flying magic tower by myself. This is so important. During the war, no enemy will allow you to easily build a magic tower. With the flying magic tower, Saleen can parachute magicians to any battlefield at any time.
Moreover, this magic tower makes magicians safer. Even if the war fails, they can escape.
Putting away the elemental magic tower with satisfaction, Salin said: "Old sir, you are very sincere, so tell me, how can we sign a contract next?"
The old man looked like a living person, his lips moved slightly. All of Salin's actions just now did not sign a contract with him. Originally, he thought Salin would mention it, but he didn't dare to do anything in the process. However, Salin simply chose to forget it and only signed a contract with him.
Astrologers believe that people's destinies are interrelated. The more contracts Salin signs with him, the more unable he is to untie the rope of fate between him and him. But the contract that Salin wants to sign now was requested by him on his own initiative, and it will have little impact on Salin's fate. He didn't understand whether Salin really understood this rule or was just lucky.
Salin had a calm demeanor. The astrologer was hundreds of thousands of years older than him, so he couldn't see any flaws in his face.
He didn't know that Salin had an instinctive reaction to try to avoid signing a contract with an astrologer. The request he made at the beginning indeed deceived the old man, making him mistakenly think that he would mention the contract.
Salin was making a bet that the old man would not dare to tamper with his equipment for the sake of the second contract. Astrologers are different from magicians. They are more afraid of the power of contracts, because astrologers themselves are people who believe in destiny. Astrologers' contracts are things that specifically destroy destiny.
The old man's soul was entrusted in the doll, and the reactions on his face were all deliberate. So although he was depressed, he still talked about the contract with Salin with a cheerful face.
"Little Mage, now, we can exchange names. I am Cain, the astrologer."
"Salin." Salin did not say his last name this time. The contract with the astrologer does not require a surname. Salin tries to have as few in-depth interactions with people in this profession as possible.
"Okay, Salin, my plan is this. You study the astrologer's words here. I can only teach you the basic knowledge. You have to learn the next things by yourself. For a magician , this is not a difficult thing, and you don’t need to be a very powerful astrologer, just level 10 is enough.”
"What's the reason?"
"A tenth-level astrologer, although not very powerful in combat, can already see signs of the future and avoid disasters."
"Then what do I do?"
Cain took out the star ring that Saleen returned to him and said: "At level ten, you can open this ring to provide you with protection. As long as this star ring is opened, you will not be attacked when you return to the Abyss King City. .The defensive magic circle in the city will default to you as the astrologer here."
"Then what?"
"Then... you go back to the Abyss King City and let go of the heroic spirits in the cemetery."
Saleen was silent, and Cain said: "They can no longer survive in this plane. Once they leave the Abyss King City, they will all die. So don't worry, they can't hurt you."
"I'm not worried about this. If I dare to come back, I'll be sure to leave."
"Are you angry with the Grand Master?"
"No, it's just that if I have a chance, I will let him understand and plot my fate." Salin said this deliberately. Cain nodded and thought to himself, this Salin actually wants to confuse me, he won't Angry about this.
"But you must let them go, otherwise the Heroic Spirit Cemetery suppresses the palace's teleportation array. If these heroic spirits don't leave, you will never be able to enter the palace and find me what I need."
"What do you need?" When Salin asked this question, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"This." Cain took out his Star Gathering Needle and said, "This is the astrologer's weapon and the astrologer's friend. Star Gathering Needle, I need a Star Gathering Needle in the palace!"
"You...don't you already have it?"
"No, my Star-Gathering Needle is only level 16, while the one in the palace is level 19. Only a level 19 Star-Gathering Needle can take apart this damn thing and let my soul Get out!" When Cain said this, he couldn't help but tear his hair.
"Doll?"
"Yes..." Cain hesitated for a moment, then said: "My soul is trapped here. I can't feel any beautiful things in the world. I don't even feel pain. You see, there is no difference between me and a living person. But I can’t even drink water. I feel very hungry and thirsty every day, but I can’t get rid of this feeling.”
"Then the level 19 Star Gathering Needle belongs to me?" Salin asked. He was glad that he hid the Star Gathering Needle in the dimension stone, otherwise this old guy would definitely be able to detect it. It seems that his Star-Gathering Needle may be the level 19 Star-Gathering Needle that Cain is looking for. Otherwise, how could Cain not be able to detect the problem in his magic equipment after using it.
"It can't be yours, Salin. I have to tell the truth. This Star Gathering Needle is the most important thing for an astrologer. Only by getting that Star Gathering Needle can I make a breakthrough."
"Cain, you said that you would let me control my own destiny. This is the first time I have heard of level 19 equipment. Please tell me, when your power is so powerful, can I still control my destiny?"
"Of course, this star ring is also left behind by... that 19th-level astrologer back then. This astrological tower was also designed by him. These can all be yours, I only want his inheritance!"
"That is to say, after you get his inheritance, will you return the Star-Gathering Needle to me?"
"Of course, I can also refine the Star-Gathering Needle myself. After I advance to level 19, that thing will be of no use to me."
"But you said that I only need to reach level ten. I didn't understand. What did I get? The inheritance of level ten astrologers? You don't care about it, do you?"
"Salin, you don't understand. When I advance to level 19, not only this plane, but also all the planes related to this plane will be unable to survive. I must immediately enter a higher level. I want to break through the limitations of the crystal wall and never come back. After you have that person's inheritance, you will have plenty of time to practice. You can survive here for tens of thousands of years without any problem."
"What a... inexplicable temptation!" Salin shook his head and said to Cain: "I don't think it's better to write this contract like this. When I release your soul, you will never exist in this world. Star-Gathering Needle Be mine, the astrological tower is mine, the star ring is mine, and you will gain true freedom."
"Salin..."
"How about it?"
"Deal!" Cain and Saleen laughed at the same time. Both parties were skeptical about the content of the contract.
In Cain's view, if Salin wants to have it all, he needs to complete the contract. In Salin's view, when Cain gained freedom, he also left the world in which he lived. At the same time, there is a real zero-time difference, and Cain has no way to deal with himself.
Despite the tightness of the contract, both Saleen and Cain felt something was wrong.
"Cain, who will write the contract?" Salim asked.
"As you like." Cain refused to answer the question proactively. He wanted to entangle his fate with Salin, so he hoped that Salin would be more proactive.
"Then don't rush to write the contract. You can teach me the knowledge of astrologers first." Salin also refused to take the initiative to write the contract, which made Cain very depressed.
"Okay, I'll write it."
"I agree." Salin smiled, then took the star ring and put it on his hand. V! ~!
