Chapter 12: Expensive books
Inside the glittering metal hall of the Magic Council headquarters. m
Lazar kept laughing, almost out of breath: "Lucien, Lucien, you haven't seen Ms. Lauvet's face? It's as dark as the Ironforge in the southern desert! It's like I just received a hundred arcane points and I was told that the wrong person was sent. Haha, it may be that the family is on fire and the savings are ransacked ... I am really happy! Many people hate her! "
"It's just something that can be done in accordance with the order of the mission zone, why she made it like this is really difficult to understand her idea." Lucian shook her head with a smile, holding a tall stack of books in her hand.
Lazar stroked his chest and stopped smiling: "Ms. Lauvitat is the kind of old man I mentioned, and feels that she has become slow-minded and no longer wants to be promoted, so she desperately wants to save money We must have a rich and beautiful old age and leave a precious legacy for our children, grandchildren and grandchildren. When they see a magician who is still busy to improve their strength and knowledge, they always look down on others and owe her a lot of money. "
"Hey, I can understand them, but I hope I won't be like them after I'm sixty."
"It's hard to imagine that you would have that abominable expression in Lazar, always smiling brightly." Lucian thought for a moment, "Hey, so let's try it in advance, you borrow thirty arcane points I, and then I will return you a hundred years later. "
Lazar glared at Lucien: "But this is my hard work to improve the magic harvest, do you have the patience? Oh, speaking, you actually met the three little ghosts again, I don't know if they will What expression? "
Among the five magic schools of Allinge, Douglas Magic School is the best, and is good at force field, electromagnetic, astrology and elements, followed by Allinge Magic School and Bisanchu Magic School. The former is good at necromancy and summoning, and the latter is good at metamorphosis and illusion. The Trident School of Magic teaches the latest three factions: electromagnetic, heat and light and dark. The Aalborg School of Magic is alchemy, element and heat.
However, because it is aimed at magic apprentices, each faction in each school has been taught, but it is only slightly biased.
"Happy, and then painful," Lucian replied affirmatively. "Next I have to buy a storage bag. Otherwise, it is really troublesome to carry so many books, and every time I carry a suitcase."
"Of course. Vassim alchemy shop, a century of credibility ..." Lazar answered.
…………
"Ordinary storage bags, three-level magic items. Constant three-ring magic 'condensation technique', which can scale and store items according to a fixed ratio of sixteen to one, while reducing 80% of the weight and covering up magic fluctuations, value Four hundred arcane points. "
Lucian carried the black storage bag in his hand, and his heart was like a knife. I felt that my life was dark, and it took him three high-quality high-marine stones, fifty-eight quintals, and six arcane points to instantly turn himself from a rich man into a civilian, and his palm-sized It has taken up most of the space after loading magic notes, books and magic materials.
Seeing Lucian's twitching face. Lazare smiled and comforted: "Lucian, don't be heartbroken, if it is not a standard magic item. You can't even buy a thousand arcane points if you have a third-level assessment! Since the alchemists have improved After craftsmanship and materials, the price of some commonly used magic items has dropped sharply. Besides, storage bags are a must-have item, and it is well worth it. "
"Hey, I didn't expect Lucien to have so many high-quality Hailan Stones. If I need them later, would it be cheaper to buy from you?"
"Okay, okay. After another week, after the publication of the" Ordinary Arcanist Monthly ", your arcane points will rise sharply. I do n’t know how many arcanists want to improve and are evaluated as having serious flaws. But it has groundbreaking magic. "
"Lazare, your clothes are also standard?" Lucian replied slightly blankly.
Lazar replied solemnly: "The meaning of my magic robe system means style ... Next, where are we going?"
Speaking of this topic, Lucian awoke from the sorrow of nearly bankruptcy: "Library, the basic arcane library!"
I want to make up for the loss! Let a large number of books comfort my soul!
…………
"What ?! Can't browse in advance ?!"
Even though Lucian, who has always been able to keep calm, could not help hearing her voice asking back loudly.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lucian didn't feel any depression at the headquarters of the Magic Council. The character that was previously suppressed by life slowly surfaced, and it was no longer just cold and cold.
The little old man who managed the library saw Lucian's response, and he laughed: "Young man, you have too little life experience. As long as this basic arcane library was set up decades ago, magicians are fighting. The strong memory of the improved soul and spiritual power to memorize the contents of library books, and later created a magic circle of magical records that are imperceptible, and records the books here frantically. "
"But knowledge is equal to power and wealth. How can they get it for free like this?"
His white hair was mixed with black silk, his red pupils were a bit cloudy, and his appearance was slightly old, but he was very spirited, very temperamental, and had no wrinkles. At first glance, he looked like a handsome boy after he was half-aged. Lucien was still half his head low, wearing bright red and gorgeous ancient magic robes, and the corners of his clothes were dragging to the ground.
However, his appearance at this time was very insignificant in Lucian's eyes, and his mind seemed to be chopped by thunder and lightning. I will not let me see how I recorded it in the soul library. Why do you wait for me, senior wizards, after I come Do stupid attempts again? !!
"But if I can't browse in advance, how do I know what I want to learn?" Lucian tried to dying.
The short, handsome old man stretched out his index finger and shook: "Young man, the excuses you are looking for are the same as those stupid people." Then he patted the magic array on the counter, a green smoke rose, and the upper half turned into a chest A rough man with a black soft hat on his head. "The basic arcane library management giant Alex, say what you need, and he immediately tells you which books you can borrow, where and what What is it. He is a special alchemy life made of a fire giant hidden in a lamp and some soul fragments. Focus on memory. "
"Welcome you, Alex is here for you." The management giant is more polite than the little old man.
Lucien restrained the sorrow and tried to calmly ask, "How much does it cost to rent a book?"
"This library is only open to magicians inside the council. A book is rented for seven days and ten silver narres." The management giant answered with a smile.
"It's so expensive?" Lucian found that it was simply a robbery here. Aalto bought a thick book for only one or two silver narres. Here, ten silver narres were needed for rental alone!
The little old man shook his head with a wry expression: "Sad, young people today don't understand the value of knowledge! Previously, if you wanted to see new magic school books, you could either exchange them with your magic books or pay enough. At least Dozens of Kintal's magical materials ... "
Seeing that he had a tendency to keep going, Lazar was quietly pulling himself behind his back, and Lucian rubbed his temple: "Except for a ten silver narr. Are there any other rules?"
"If you pay two arcane points directly, then you can borrow forty books within a month, and each time limit is seven days. Four arcane points and eighty books, and so on." Alex said Another way, "But that's the case. You can't substitute Quintal and other items, only the arcane points."
This is half cheaper than the previous method, obviously to encourage magicians to use arcane points.
Although Lucien wanted to exchange the remaining three high-quality Hailan Stones, considering that he could tolerate the cost of the next experimental materials, he took out the magic badge and handed it to the little old man: "Handle forty books a month Lease. "
The little old man crossed out two arcane points with a magic array and handed the magic badge to Lucian. A rare expression of seriousness: "Since you want to learn magic, don't save money on books and experimental materials, and magic items are enough. You can ask Alex what books you want to rent."
"Mr. Alex. What are the papers on the most cutting-edge research results of soul and human body?" Lucian asked, always wondering about the research in this area.
Alex thought about the meaning of the frontier representative, and answered a few seconds later:
"Several Inferences about the Soul as the Carrier of Consciousness," author and Arcanist Vicente Miranda;
"Discussion of the elements that make up the soul and special electromagnetic waves." Author, Arcanist Vicente Miranda;
...
"Analyze the principles of divine arts such as regeneration of amputated limbs from the memory of cells, and the source of the resilience of great knights and try to simulate." Author, Level 4 Arcanist Felipe. "
Lucian said with a little surprise: "Felipe?"
This paper has reached the level of cellular memory? !!
However, thinking about it for a long time, the ancient magicians simulated the development of magical creatures, and had a rich accumulation in physical structure, coupled with the real existence of regeneration of broken limbs and the strong restoring power of some magical creatures. After Vicente Miranda entered the cell world, similar findings were normal.
This is where the world of magic and magic surpasses the earth.
"Yes, Mr. Felipe smashed the entire magic council with this dissertation, and became a magician focused on the training of the fourth-level arcanist and pale hand. The genius' reputation is even louder than that of Mr. Ulysses. "Lazar is half fearful and half admiring the authenticity.
Lucien nodded silently. When he met Felipe, he always felt that he was too proud and confident. Now it seems that he really has the ability has the qualification and source of confidence.
Returning to God, Lucien borrowed two "Arcane" journals and one "Magic" journal that published a few of them, and then borrowed three basic books in the field of soul, and then said: "Mr. Alex Please help me find a paper that measures the detailed properties of various elements. All the elements that have been found so far must be found. If there are papers that try to describe them as a whole, such as papers that want to find the connection between them. "
"Lucien, how do you think of borrowing these papers?" Lazar asked a little strangely before Alex spoke. If the thesis in the field of souls according to Lucian is to broaden the horizons and make up for the defects, then The element paper described by Lucien seems a bit unconventional. He should lay the groundwork by redefining the element of the paper.
Lucian turned to look at him, and smiled as if he knew what he thought: "I will borrow the papers of the basics. But as a magician who is good at elementary systems, what are the current elements and what are these elements? If you do n’t know the nature, you will fail too. "
And it is related to the preparation of magic experiments later.
This explanation was reasonable. Lazar did not say much, and began to think about which magic book he should borrow to go back to study.
