Chapter 246 Bounty
In the blink of an eye, twenty-five days later.
In the alchemy hall, in a laboratory, Enzo stood on the alchemy table, holding a brown crystal in his hand, emitting a wave of magic power.
"Finally it worked!"
Looking at the energy core of the witchcraft puppet in his palm, a hint of excitement appeared on Enzo's face. After nearly a month, the [Lava Troll] witchcraft puppet was finally completed.
"It's a pity that there are only three days left before the bloody battle."
Enzo held the palm of his hand, put away the leyline crystal, shook his head and said, "Otherwise, you can go to the spell experiment area to test the combat effectiveness of [Lava Troll]."
Afterwards, Enzo left the alchemy hall.
In the academy, because the deadline for the bloody battle is approaching, the atmosphere seems to be getting more and more tense. The apprentices around them have gloomy faces and are walking in a hurry.
In his arms, the medal suddenly felt hot.
"Has someone summoned me?" Enzo's heart moved and he took out the medal from his arms. The message above was a notification from the academy.
"auctions?"
Enzo frowned slightly. The academy just sent a notice that before the battle for coordinates, that is, tonight, an auction for apprentices will be held on the third floor of the market hall.
The academy postponed the announcement of the auction until it was close to the battle for coordinates. It was obviously intended to give the apprentices a chance to improve their strength.
According to this situation, there will never be a small number of good things that may appear at the auction.
"Unfortunately, my magic stones have been exhausted."
Enzo shook his head helplessly. In order to keep a trump card for himself, he invested all the magic stones into the witchcraft puppet. Now he is almost penniless.
"If I can buy one or two high-level magic items at the auction, my combat effectiveness will definitely be improved."
"But there is no magic stone, what should I do? Do I need to borrow it from Master Gustav?"
Enzo's eyes flickered and he stroked his chin.
"Forget it, the wizarding world has always believed in the principle of equal exchange, and the mentor will not help me unconditionally." He shook his head and said, "Anyway, there is a [Lava Troll] witchcraft puppet, and that one can block two The talisman with one strike from a high-level wizard is enough for me to face the danger of a bloody battle."
At this moment, a figure walked not far away.
"Enzo." Bourne waved.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Enzo walked over and frowned slightly.
A month ago, Bourne's appearance had undergone some changes. There were stitching marks on his forehead and face, and his left eye was covered by a black eyepatch.
"This?" Bourne pointed to his left eye, opened the black eye mask, revealing a metal eyeball with flashing red dots, and said, "I just completed a transformation recently and installed a mechanical eye on myself."
Enzo shook his head inwardly, not knowing what to say.
Mechanical transformation can quickly improve strength, but replacing a large number of body organs will cause Bourne to drift away from the human form, and eventually even become a complete machine creature.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Bourne waved his hand and said solemnly: "The battle for coordinates is about to begin. You should also know the news, right? What are your plans!"
"News, what news?" Enzo was stunned.
In the past month, he has been making witchcraft puppets in the alchemy laboratory and has paid little attention to news from the outside world, so he has no idea what Bourne is talking about.
"What? You don't know yet!"
Bourne was a little surprised and said, "It's the bounty issued by the Cavallen family. Whoever can kill you in the battle for coordinates will get 300 high-level magic stones!"
"The Kawaren family placed a reward on me?"
Enzo was shocked. 300 high-level magic stones, if converted into ordinary magic stones, would be 30,000, which is an astronomical number for an apprentice.
"Yes, just ten days ago."
Bourne nodded and said solemnly: "The Cavallo family publicly announced that whoever can kill Gustav's disciples in the battle for coordinates will gain the friendship of the Cavallo family and 300 high-level magic stones." !”
For a moment, Enzo's face turned gloomy.
He had heard his mentor mention the hatred between the Cavallo family and Gustav before, but he never expected that Cavallo would not hesitate to offer 300 high-level magic stones to reward his little apprentice.
You know, even for wizards, this number will be exciting. Even many first-level wizards need hundreds of years to accumulate the wealth of 300 high-level magic stones.
"This is trouble."
Enzo's face was ugly. The high-priced bounty offered by the Cavallen family suddenly made him the target of public criticism. After the battle for coordinates began, almost everyone would start a crazy pursuit of him for the 300 high-grade magic stones.
"I thought you already knew about this."
Bourne shook his head and said solemnly, "The battle for coordinates will begin in a secret realm. Each participant will be randomly dropped into different areas, so I can't help you. You can only rely on yourself to be careful."
After saying that, Bourne patted Enzo on the shoulder, then turned and left.
"It seems that we still need to improve our strength."
Enzo's face was solemn. According to the original plan, he only needed to rely on witchcraft puppets and defensive talismans to deal with the dangers of the bloody battle.
However, now, the bounty of 300 high-level magic stones has pushed him to the forefront. If he can't prepare some trump cards, he will probably be killed.
"I hope there will be items that will help me in tonight's auction!"
There are only three days left before the battle for coordinates. The only way to quickly improve his strength is to rely on equipment, so Enzo can only pin his hopes on tonight's auction.
Enzo thought for a while and walked towards the market hall.
Compared with a month ago, the first floor of the market hall was almost unchanged, except that there were more apprentices coming here to buy items.
"The battle for coordinates is about to begin. Everyone will convert the magic stones in their hands into combat power to deal with the next danger!"
Enzo shook his head and walked straight to the second floor.
He came to the innermost shop. The person in charge here was an old man with thin hair, who was lying leisurely on a wicker chair and reading a book.
"You have a customer? What do you want to sell?"
When the bald old man saw Enzo, he put away the book in his hand and asked slowly.
This shop is quite special. It does not sell anything, but only purchases items. The academy considered that some apprentices lacked magic stones, so it opened the exchange office before the coordinate battle.
Here, almost anything can be exchanged for magic stones, and the price won't be too outrageous.
"Can anything be sold?" Enzo asked.
"Yes, anything of value."
The bald old man nodded and said slowly, ": Demonic items, alchemy materials, magic potions... anything of value can be exchanged for magic stones."
