In the spacious and bright room, there is a beautiful floor-to-ceiling mirror.
The floor-to-ceiling mirror was taller than a person, and it was decorated with precious black-leaf birch wood and inlaid with many colorful gemstones, which looked very luxurious.
At this time, a young man in a black tuxedo was standing in front of the mirror, with several maids behind him helping the master to arrange the dress.
After tidying up, the young man waved away all the maids, leaving only the young man in the room.
The young man silently looked at the figure in the mirror—medium build, slender figure, brown hair, pale complexion, handsome face, but a pair of eyes exuded a very bright luster, looking very energetic.
"Before I knew it, I was seventeen years old!!"
Leylin looked at himself in the mirror, feeling a little melancholy.
Time is the sharpest weapon. It can turn a child into an old man, and turn the sea into a desert. Even a wizard can only prolong his life a little. Even if he can live for thousands of years, he cannot escape the erosion of time in the end.
And since Leylin returned from his last expedition, more than a year has passed.
"No! I must break the curse of time and pursue immortality, so that I am worthy of the opportunity to go through a journey!!!"
Leylin's eyes were dark, and they seemed to be burning with a heroic flame.
"Master! The carriage from the City Lord's Mansion is here!" Anna's soft voice sounded outside the door.
"Let him wait, I'll be right over!"
Facing the mirror, Leylin adjusted his appearance a little, took a short black stick in his hand, and walked out.
thump! !
The black carriage was speeding down the street, and the citizens of Extreme Night City immediately got out of the way when they saw the sign of the City Lord's Mansion on the carriage, and looked at the carriage with respectful and envious eyes.
There was only Leylin in the carriage. At this time, the young man was lying on the velvet cushion. When he turned his palm over, a strange pendant appeared in his palm.
This is something that looks like a silver cross, and there are a few red and blue diamonds on the surface, shining with fluorescence.
Leylin stared at the pendant with a satisfied expression in his eyes.
"Using star alloy as the main material, and adding various precious metals that I have collected one after another, according to the calculations of the chip, the prototype of this magical item has been created perfectly!"
This pendant-like thing was refined by Leylin according to the method of making magical items recorded in Luo Yan's teaching book back then.
Three years ago, Leylin bought the leftover pages of Luo Yan's teaching from the dying old man, and deciphered the contents through the chip.
The first part of Luo Yan's teaching is only suitable for apprentices, and there are even a lot of travel notes, otherwise, Leylin would not have been able to buy this fragment at a very low price.
Leylin was lucky. After deciphering the chip, he got a copy of the production method of low-level magic items.
The Pendant of the Fallen Star—this is the name of the enchanted item. According to the teacher Luo Yan, although the Pendant of the Fallen Star is only a low-level enchanted item, it is defensive. Compared with the general offensive The value of magical items is naturally much higher, even formal wizards will be tempted by them.
After Leylin saw the content of this part, he immediately decided to create the Fallen Star Pendant.
Although the attack power of the wizard apprentice is strong, his own low defense is also a problem.
Only after becoming an official wizard and forming one's own talent for defensive spells, one can be regarded as a master wizard with great powers if one is always protected by a witchcraft force field.
As for apprentices, they may be attacked at any time and lose their lives.
The few apprentices who followed Leylin into the withered forest back then are good examples.
Although they were able to use spells, they were almost completely wiped out by the giant snake's attack due to their own lack of defensive spells. There was only one Melfeller left, and it was only because of Leylin's help that they were able to use spells. survived.
And as long as he had the Fallen Star Pendant and the defensive potion, Leylin's defense would at least be comparable to half a wizard's.
Moreover, the defensive force field of the Fallen Star Pendant is instantaneous, that is to say, in the future, as long as the opponent's attack strength does not exceed the defense limit of the Fallen Star Pendant, before the energy of the Fallen Star Pendant is exhausted, Leylin will seem to be overwhelmed. An extremely strong tortoise shell, as long as the falling star is not destroyed, nothing will happen to Leylin.
"Fortunately, there is a wizard market near Polar Night City, otherwise, I would not have found so many precious materials!"
Leylin suddenly felt rejoiced.
He smashed most of the magic stone in his hand, and all the materials from the Manxter giant snake, all fused together to create the semi-finished product of the pendant in Leylin's hand.
"The resources in hand are basically exhausted. According to Luo Yan's teaching, this is still a semi-finished product. The main body of the Fallen Star Pendant has been completely built. The rest is the final step..."
Leylin stared at the pendant of the fallen star on his palm. The surface of the silver cross shone with various colors of fluorescent lights, and the surface was covered with strange patterns, like a perfect work of art.
"As for the materials needed for the last step, I happen to have them on hand. As long as the time is right, I can enlighten the spirit of the Fallen Star Pendant at any time!"
Leylin held the Fallen Star Pendant tightly in his hand, and then put it inside his shirt.
"As for Maria's tears, this ancient potion formula is really incomprehensible. Even if I have obtained some experimental data about spirit bodies through a lot of experiments, looking at this formula, I am still a bit confused!"
Leylin's face turned gloomy, and his thoughts were running fast: "Could it be? My guess was wrong? The formula of this potion and spirit body have no light system..."
"Stop!" The coachman's voice came from the front, the car body paused slightly, and stopped moving forward.
"Lord Lei Lin! The City Lord's Mansion is here!" the coachman reported respectfully in front.
Leylin shook his head, put away his inner thoughts, and walked out of the car door.
The City Lord's Mansion is still as solemn and majestic as before, with two rows of guards standing on both sides, looking straight ahead, majestic and majestic.
"Viscount Jackson is very wise! After surviving from the withered forest, he pretended to be seriously injured and spread the news to the outside world. After his enemy was convinced and started a series of actions, he wiped them all out with a thunderbolt and cut off all the heads of the enemy. The water filled the moat, and since then, the entire Extreme Night City has been silent... "
"Leylin! My brother!"
Jackson had been waiting near the gate, and when he saw Leylin, he immediately came up to greet him.
For Leylin's strength, the Grand Knight Jackson has a good understanding, not to mention that Leylin is also Jackson's savior. If it weren't for Leylin, Jackson would have become the food of the Manxter snake.
"My lord!" Leylin smiled and nodded.
Jackson held Leylin's hand with an enthusiastic expression. After asking Leylin to visit the garden of the lower castellan's mansion, he took Leylin to a secret study.
In the private area, Jackson finally showed a worried look.
"Leylin! My brother, I really can't supply the fifty people you asked for last time... I've already sent all the prisoners in the dungeon to you, and I even brought all the prisoners who couldn't reach the death penalty. Liars and thieves and the like, but there is still a distance from the numbers you need... "
"Is that so?" Leylin nodded, sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
Polar Night City can barely be regarded as a medium-sized city, with a permanent population of no more than 100,000 at most. For Lord Jackson, it was still within the scope of his responsibility to provide Leylin with a few death row prisoners every month. As time passed, the number of death row inmates in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion became smaller and smaller, and Leylin's needs were getting bigger and bigger, and it was beginning to be unable to meet Leylin's needs.
"You know!" Jackson said again when Leylin was thinking.
"I'm just the lord of a city, and my title is only a viscount. I can still decide on the death penalty for individual people, but if there are too many people, I can't help it. After all, the Principality also has laws there..."
Viscount Jackson spread his hands, and there was indeed a gleam of light in his eyes, "The disappearance of more than fifty or a hundred people at a time will definitely cause riots, unless there is a war!!"
"war!!!"
Leylin was startled, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. This is a good opportunity to collect experimental subjects.
However, Viscount Jackson chose this time to say that it was premeditated.
"About this, I..." Leylin was about to say something, when suddenly there was a throbbing in his chest, and the sound of crows was heard, and Leylin's expression changed drastically.
"What happened?" Jackson asked "concerned".
"No...it's nothing, I received a message from a friend!" Leylin stretched his hand into his bosom, the chirping stopped immediately, and his face returned to calm.
After that, Leylin immediately lost interest in talking, and after a few perfunctory words with Viscount Jackson, he quickly left.
Although Jackson had something in his heart, he still didn't say anything when he looked at Leylin who was obviously absent-minded.
As soon as he left the City Lord's Mansion, Leylin immediately boarded the carriage and hurried back to the manor.
"Unexpectedly, at this time, I received information from the academy..." According to the information he received, the war at Blackbone Forest Academy has entered the most intense moment, and the winner may be decided at any time.
And on the apprentices such as Leylin who went out to perform missions, there were also one-time contact items issued by the academy, allowing them to get the latest news from the academy at critical moments.
"Now there's news that the outcome must have been decided. Black Bone Forest Academy's strength is limited, but the other side is flanked by two forces on the same level as Black Bone Forest. The odds of winning are very low!" Leylin commented on the current situation of Black Bone Forest Academy. I understand very well.
"Unless there is another mediation from outside forces, the Black Bone Forest Academy will suffer a big loss, or even be expelled directly..."
With a heavy expression on his face, Leylin directly entered the secret room.
