Hearing Lin Qi's words, Zhao Xu also smiled, but he was in a happy mood.
From the moment he entered the game, most of the people he came into contact with in the Floating City were very polite to him, and sometimes even directly donated resources to him, and cooperated with anyone who could.
For example, the goddess priest Archbishop Sosi whom he met at the Sacred Heart Cathedral directly gave him the holy emblem that he had worn for decades. Later, Zhao Xu relied on that holy emblem to avoid the trouble of explaining his identity.
Even for the minerals in Falling Star Town, he entrusted Archbishop Sosi to directly put in the mithril crystal for him to increase the mithril output of the silver veins.
The Lin Qi in front of him was indeed very polite to him before, but now he showed his shrewd side, allowing Zhao Xu to regain the familiarity he felt when he came into contact with the residents of Arthur in his previous life.
"Master Lin Qi, I wonder what reward you need?" As long as the other party's request is not too excessive, Zhao Xu will naturally agree.
Now he is also an equal level 5 mage, and there are enough resources between the two parties to communicate and complement each other.
When the fat mage Lin Qi heard that Zhao Xu had no objection, he said happily: "Well, Mr. Zhongxia, can you hand me the badge on your chest to see first?"
When Zhao Xu heard this, he thought that the other party would have needs in this regard, but he didn't say much and just took it off and handed it over.
As long as the mage who appears in this floating city can escape the monk but not the temple, Zhao Xu doesn't have to worry about the funny thing about grabbing the badge and running away.
After Lin Qi answered, he noticed that Zhao Xu's mage badge had changed into three concentric circles, which meant that the other party had registered as an official three-ring mage.
In order to take over the task issued by Shuangjian, Zhao Xu updated his identity information to the latest status in the association's affairs hall.
At that time, he also received corresponding mage benefits.
The Mage Association can become the largest mage organization in the continent of Arthur. In addition to being the organization with the largest number of legendary mage in Arthur, it also has a benefit that attracts countless ordinary mages.
When upgrading, all mages can apply to the association to copy the two highest-level spells that can currently be cast.
Therefore, Zhao Xu received promotion benefits from level 2 to level 5 at once, including two first-level spells at level 2, four second-level spells at levels 3 and 4, and two third-level spell transcription qualifications at level 5.
According to the association's current transcription price, which is 50 gold coins per level, the cost of transcribing a third-level spell is 150 gold coins.
Zhao Xu got a total of eight spell transcription and borrowing fee deduction coupons from the first to the third ring for nothing, with a total value of 800 gold coins.
And he himself has mastered all the first to third-level spells, so he can resell the discount coupons. Anyway, the association also recognizes the coupons.
Even if Master Lin Qi only asks for spell transcripts or money later, Zhao Xu can use those spell transcript loan coupons as reward.
However, Lin Qi, who was sitting opposite, suddenly trembled when he saw Zhao Xu's badge. The three concentric circles directly shocked him like a mysterious spell.
At the same time, after being touched by him, these concentric circles began to fluctuate one after another, showing their authenticity.
A cold sweat broke out on Lynch's back. After the transformation forum that day, he already understood that the other party was the Earth Adventurer.
It's just that this Zhongxia mage was only a first-level mage at that time. In just over a month, he became a third-level mage
Even if their players take the quick route, this method is a bit too fast.
According to what he heard from the elders in his family, even if these earth adventurers were talented enough, it would take them a year to reach the third ring.
Now someone showed him how to become a three-ring mage for a month
If he lets this news out, I'm afraid all the low-level mages in the floating city will be excited.
The mages in the floating city all know the reason why earth players can achieve quick results, and they also know the hidden dangers behind this method.
Players have skipped several years or even ten years of accumulation. Unless they have outstanding talents, they will need to pay a huge price to repay the previous jump in the future.
The most obvious point is that it will be much more difficult to break through the levels in the future, especially when it comes to the fifth and sixth rings.
It's just that the man in front of me got three rings in two months. I'm afraid it won't be difficult to get five or six rings in a year, right
Lynch was immediately reminded of countless high-stakes speculations.
In the Mage Association, there are also Arthur geniuses who completed training and promotion within a few days and a month.
These candidates will receive special attention and become the key training targets for legendary mages in the future.
Lynch was secretly sighing at this moment, no wonder the association would hand a shining mithril badge to a player.
It turned out that the top management of the association had discerned the talent of the man in front of them a month ago.
No wonder they are the giants and he is the little brother.
After Lin Qi thought about it clearly, he respectfully handed the badge back to Zhao Xu, and then said politely: "That's all."
"Master Zhongxia, our association has not held a meeting in the past two days. If you are free the day after tomorrow, you can follow me to the association to retrieve the information file. If it is really inconvenient, I will transfer it to your dormitory. That’s okay too.”
Lin Qi looked at Zhao Xu eagerly as he spoke.
"This? Remuneration?" Zhao Xuzheng wondered why the other party skipped his question about remuneration.
"Oh, you just gave me a careful look at the magic of this badge, which is already the biggest reward." Lynch said and made a standard mage salute.
"..." Although Zhao Xu didn't understand why Master Lin Qi's attitude suddenly changed so drastically, he could only respond in silence.
It stands to reason that the other party knew from the beginning that he had the Shining Mithril Badge.
Later, after I found out that he was a player and not from Mystra's mage family, his attitude softened a lot, but why did he suddenly become so respectful again.
As for the other party's suggestion, Zhao Xu considered that the place where he currently lives is in the obelisk, and it might not be easy for the other party to come in, so he said directly: "Master Lin Qi, I will go find you the day after tomorrow."
Lin Qi nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and handed over the note with his contact information and address.
After Zhao Xu took it, Antinoya's voice suddenly came to his ears again.
"Zhongxia, is there any magic research related to you that you want to read?"
After a while, Zhao Xu appeared in a mysterious research hall.
This location is located under the "Palace of Truth", the core building of the floating city. It was here that Zhao Xu unlocked the Molin Stone Tablet and obtained the corresponding advanced secrets.
The Palace of Truth above the head is said to be the location with the highest density of wizards in Arthur's legend.
The "Council", the highest authority body of the Mage Association, is also permanently located in the Palace of Truth.
According to everyone, only in that place can the seven giants of the Mage Association appear together at the same time.
When Zhao Xuchu saw this research hall, he almost thought it was a football field without stands.
However, they were all in the corridor on the second floor. There was only a row of simple anti-fall railings in front of them, which was very crude. In other words, the need for bystanders was not considered at the beginning of the design.
Underneath the venue, only a quarter of the place was filled with mysterious alchemy devices, many of which were tightly wrapped. The most numerous items in the venue were mysterious metal spheres.
Above the research hall is the alchemy lifting equipment, which can mobilize those heavy alchemy devices at any time, although the mage can also solve it with his own spells.
At this time, there were dozens of spellcasters in the field who were debugging, but Zhao Xu was secretly frightened because the researchers below the field were at least seven-level magicians.
Some of the assistant work is performed by golems and invisible servants in the field.
Feeling the solemnity and solemnity of the atmosphere in the venue, Zhao Xu also stood quietly beside Antinoya. At this time, there were also spellcasters equal to the number of researchers below standing in the corridor on the second floor.
But like Zhao Xu, they all wore robes and hoods, hiding their appearance.
Zhao Xu had some suspicions that there were giants from the association among those mysterious people.
But his focus was more on the eight metal drawing boards erected at the front of the venue, all made of mithril. The eight panels are meticulously carved with complex ritual formations, and many parts are even made of high-precision micro-carvings.
Obviously the rituals involved are extremely complex and sophisticated.
"Teacher, the magic research below seems to be of a very high level." Zhao Xu used a spiritual link to communicate with Antinoya.
Even the lowest-level researchers are seventh-level researchers, and other support staff would rather use golems than let middle- and low-level mages intervene. Even Antinoya gave him the access key, and he had to go through three or four tests before entering here.
"Of course, they will build a temporary passage to other multiverses later." Antinoya said.
I see.
It was such a generous move.
Zhao Xu could only sigh like this at this time.
To be honest, Arthur probably only has the capital of the Mage Association to undertake this research work.
Zhao Xu already understood that the research was basically for the universal time travel one year later.
And when he looked at the micro-carved ritual formations, he already had some guesses. But after listening to Antinoya's statement, he had new questions.
"But I think this ritual is more like reawakening the passage, rather than directly creating it, right?"
Antinoya raised her eyebrows slightly, "Yes, because there has always been an energy channel, and now we are going to use this energy channel to manifest it into a material channel."
After Zhao Xu listened, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, which further confirmed his thoughts.
The fact that they can project it doesn't mean that there is an energy channel between Arthur and the earth.
There is even a 20-minute cooling time limit for going online again after going offline, probably because of the limitation of this energy channel.
Since there is an energy channel in itself, the Mage Association can easily use it.
Then, at this time, a researcher in charge of the project below made an inquiring gesture to a mysterious figure in the corridor on the second floor.
"It's time to start the charging test." Antinoya reminded.
Zhao Xu's eyes widened immediately and he carefully observed the condition of the eighth version of the mithril panel. All energy channels would be activated through this ritual circle later.
Suddenly, countless starlights began to gather and fall on the first version of the mithril panel. Like a trickle of energy, energy began to fill the carved hollows of the entire array.
Finally, the mithril panels lit up one by one, sprinting all the way to the seventh panel.
But Zhao Xu instantly felt a vibration throughout his body, and then his vision began to blur.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you are disconnected from Arthur's world. Cooling time for reconnecting: to be determined.]
