Chapter 27
Harvest
Green only got one answer from the fat man.
"Who told you I only sell in Blacksota?"
And that was it. Faced with the direct temptation of five thousand magic stones, Green, even without understanding the key to it, no longer hesitated and directly signed the seventh-ring contract.
As far as Green knew, this contract, created with the power of the Seventh Ring Holy Tower, was impossible to resist without the power of a Level 4 Holy Mark Wizard.
As for the existence of a Level 4 Saint Mark Wizard?
That's way too far away for Green right now...
With the ability to advance five thousand magic stones, and despite the fat man's pained expression, Green unceremoniously took one precious item after another, then "politely" thanked the fat man before returning to the hut with great joy, looking at these valuable materials that he had never dared to dream of before.
The Eternal Earring was worn directly on her right ear, casually concealed by her golden curly hair, instantly adding a touch of elegance to Green's slightly wild temperament.
This top-tier magical artifact, valued at six hundred magic stones, not only possesses excellent resistance to curses and illusions, but can also automatically absorb free elemental energy from the air, maintaining a relatively comfortable constant temperature for the wearer.
The singing branch, and Green also had a piece of it on him.
If Green encounters an inescapable curse in the future, this branch will emit a piercing scream, temporarily solidifying the curse and giving the victim considerable time to react.
Red-eared mushrooms are an extremely precious medicinal ingredient for wizard apprentices. With just a little preparation of auxiliary potions, simmering these mushrooms into a soup and consuming it will stimulate the wizard apprentice's mental power.
The effects vary from person to person, but generally it can increase mental strength by at least a little, and in some cases even by three points, which can save wizard apprentices several years of meditation time.
"Insights into the Reconstruction of Fire Magic Circles" is a wizard's casual notes on elemental research.
Of course, this is only a part of my understanding of the transformations of fire magic. If it were the entire notebook, its value would be immense.
If you hold a pearl in your mouth, it can give you the ability to breathe underwater.
Finally, Green also took two intermediate magic stones, worth two hundred low-level magic stones.
three days later.
Green arrived at the library looking exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes once again.
These dark circles under her eyes have completely erased the elegant and alluring aura she had three days ago. If there's anything left about her, it's just a cute and innocent look...
If anyone asks Green what his biggest wish is right now, he'll say it's to get a good night's sleep.
The Ripple Wizard sat in the library's VIP area, quietly sipping fragrant coffee in a tranquil room. Several plates of exquisite pastries sat on the table, making one wonder whether they were meant to be eaten or simply admired.
After performing the wizarding ritual with his weary body, Green respectfully placed the box containing thirty bottles of perfume on the table.
"Hehe, judging from your dark circles, it's no easy task to concoct these little things. I don't know how you came up with the idea of making these perfumes. But these things are truly magical; they can even evoke some pleasant memories for us ancient wizards."
"Illumi the wizard said happily."
remember?
such……
In an instant, Green realized something.
Perhaps the reason wizards like these perfumes is because they have become accustomed to the monotony of their long lives, even though this monotony is the most perfect enjoyment in the eyes of those who do not have it.
For example, right now.
In Grimm's eyes, the witch was enjoying these exquisite pastries and delicious coffee, but in the witch's eyes, the pastries and coffee had been the same for hundreds of years, and she had long forgotten the original taste of these things. She didn't even want to touch those pastries.
For them at this moment, the most precious and beautiful treasures are the memories of struggles from before they had these "wonderful" times.
And this is precisely the purpose of Venus, the goddess of love, for them: to awaken those beautiful memories they have not forgotten.
Seeing that Green was a little reserved, and knowing that these little guys were nervous in front of a formal wizard, the Ripple Wizard shook his head and smiled.
"Alright, here's my reward for you. These are all little trinkets I don't need, but they'll come in handy for your trial. After all, I don't want such a wonderful wizard apprentice, who created Venus, to die like this."
As she spoke, Yilian took out three items.
"I call this necklace the Fountain of Joy. Its function is to increase the spirit power of the wizard apprentice who wears it by two points. Of course, if your spirit power reaches that threshold, this necklace will be useless to you, but obviously you are still far from it."
Green certainly knew the threshold for wizard apprenticeships.
One of the conditions for a wizard apprentice to break through to become a full wizard is that their mental strength must exceed forty points, which is the so-called critical value.
Next, the Ripple Wizard began to introduce two more items to Green.
One of the crystal bottles contained a tiny insect, about the size of a fingernail, called the Magic Worm.
As long as there are enough corpses to cultivate this insect, then in a short period of time, there will be an insect monster equivalent to a legendary knight, protecting Grimm for a day.
Finally, there is a seed called a ground bud, which, after simple cultivation, can grow into a giant flower. When someone lies down inside the giant flower, the ground bud will retract into the ground, providing the owner with a relatively safe resting environment.
Seeing Green happily accept the reward, Lianyi took out a mirror and actually placed the perfume Green had brought into it.
"Sealing Technique!"
Green exclaimed in surprise.
The witch glanced at Grimm in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to have some knowledge; you've already broken the seal?"
After saying that, the witch left without paying any attention to Grimm.
Green certainly knew about sealing techniques. Unless it was an extremely rare spatial storage artifact, only wizards who mastered sealing techniques could bring real-world objects into certain spatial crevices or illusory worlds for easy carrying.
In fact, in the past two years, when Green recalled the strange and terrifying phenomena he saw when he first assessed his aptitude in Bisserl City, he even suspected that he had some kind of sealing talent.
Because only this type of wizard can see certain absurd and bizarre things that exist between reality and illusion.
Of course, in some books about sealing techniques, some wizards have speculated that these things that exist between illusion and reality are actually a kind of life form, except that such life forms live in the gap between lower or higher dimensions and reality.
These creatures exist in a different dimension than wizards, and their understanding of space and time is also different. Therefore, wizards generally have no contact with these creatures, and the two will never intersect.
With a sense of anticipation, Green, as a wizard apprentice whose spiritual power had naturally grown to twelve points without meditation, knew very well that he possessed talent.
Although this talent, unlike that of Meteorite or Bibi Leona, does not manifest and be used during a wizard's apprenticeship, once one reaches the level of a formal wizard, one will naturally begin to understand that strange talent.
However, for ordinary wizarding apprentices, advancing to the level of a wizard is extremely difficult, and the vast majority of wizarding apprentices remain just wizarding apprentices until the end of their lives.
……
half a month later.
Because of his exceptional talent in elemental magic, Green has developed his own profound insights into "The Art of Reconstructing Fire Magic Circles".
According to Green's estimate, it should take at least two months, and at most six months, for him to improve the mental solidification magic circle on his soul.
After the solidification magic circle was improved, even if Grimm used the same amount of magic, the wizard's power to manipulate the rules of the world would greatly change Grimm's attack.
Having only witnessed the Ripple Wizard use the Firebird form to improve his magic once, Green naturally began to develop in that direction as well.
However, compared to improving the elemental magic circle, what Green's most important thing now is the little guys in the wild crane's stomach. Green has even prepared a whole set of procedures for these little guys, just waiting for them to fully mature.
On this day, as the wild crane cried out in anguish, Green used his exquisite scalpel to end its life as an experimental specimen, and then dissected the most important part of the wild crane's stomach.
The pungent smell from the stomach sac was amplified dozens of times by Green's sensitive nose. Left with no choice, Green suspended his nose-hunting function and put everything in the stomach sac into a prepared container.
The liquid in the container quickly separated the undigested food residue from the small, white, rice-grain-sized parasites.
"Hehe, come on, babies..."
With a grotesque laugh, Green collected the white parasites into another container. To a normal person, this act of kindness and warmth towards the parasites seemed utterly wicked.
It has to be said that after only two years of life at the wizarding academy, Green no longer realizes just how disgusting his actions are.
A moment later, Green took the collected mature horsefly snails to the experimental table. After creating an environment suitable for the survival of these parasites, he picked up a horsefly snail the size of a grain of rice and placed it on the crystal ball.
As the incantation was recited, Grimm's soul underwent a transformation, and the gadfly on the crystal ball emitted a barely audible chirping sound.
A short while later, Green, with a few drops of sweat dripping from his forehead, felt the familiar and comforting aura emanating from the crystal ball and let out a slight sigh of relief.
I have finally succeeded in cultivating my first companion worm!
Then, Green gently picked up the tiny horsefly, as if it were part of his own body, and swallowed it whole.
Or rather, it was stored in his stomach.
From then on, the horsefly became Green's symbiotic insect, just like a part of Green's body. This is the significance of symbiotic insects to wizards.
"Phew, decomposing souls is indeed a tiring job. I can only purify five horseflies a day at most, and even if I go all out, it will take me two months to purify all of these nearly three hundred horseflies."
With a sigh, Green continued purifying the horsefly snails.
As for those unpurified horseflies, Green naturally dared not eat them casually, otherwise it would be bad if they became parasites.
At this moment, Green had long forgotten how disgusted he had been by the sight of the Ripple Wizard devouring centipedes. Now, he was "relishing" these parasites that ordinary people considered dirty, disgusting, and terrifying.
He even made a vow.
This is the path to becoming a wizard!
"Who told you I only sell in Blacksota?"
And that was it. Faced with the direct temptation of five thousand magic stones, Green, even without understanding the key to it, no longer hesitated and directly signed the seventh-ring contract.
