Chapter 21: Crystal vein.
Zero is so light that she can jump out of a few meters with a single jump. In a completely hidden state, she easily got past the guard of the tower gate and began to walk along the only road outside the tower gate.
The island is not large. The road is about two kilometers long, and the end is the island"s only wharf. There are two small boats parked on the wharf. Silver moon shone and the night wind blew gently. Dark blue waves gently shake the boats. It is really a very beautiful picture.
However, in another direction, there is a new road extending from the dock, and zero"s curiosity was peaked and explored in this mysterious direction.
After about 1,000 meters of walking, a small village loomed in the distance.
The village is located along the mountain. The center is a Little Square. A tall flagpole is hung in the center of the square. A bright oil lamp is hung on the flagpole all night long.
There is the only clear spring on the island, and a flat land where crops are planted. However, the most important thing is the huge tunnel dug behind the village, like a monster hill with a huge mouth.
Zero trotted into it, the pa.s.sage winding down to the ground, every ten meters there are lit torches lighting, faintly heard the distant sound of mine picks knocking on the rock.
Zero continued to go deep until it reached the end of the mine. There were no torches. However, a magic crystal with constant brightness was hanging from a shelf supported by wood.
Several strong but ragged men in the mine were hammering at the wall of the mine. A thin man in a long robe was sitting on a low stool with a whip in his hand. At his feet was a wooden frame with transparent crystals wrapped in mud and metal.
Arcane crystal!
On this small island, there is still a secret arcane crystal mine!
Arcane crystal ore is far more precious than any gold or silver mine. On the ore deposit of arcane crystal, large and small naturally generated arcane crystals are like pearls in mud and sand, which can be easily picked out, and these original arcane crystal stones can be sold for a large price even if they are not processed and sent to the market.
At this moment, Siwei finally knew why Gatling chose to build the tower on such a desolate and remote island!
Why can Gatling buy children from pirates and train them as magic apprentices for decades? Money obviously depends on this arcane crystal mine!
Relying on zero, Siwei was able to unlock the secret of the demon named Gatling, which was hanging over the heads of all apprentices in the tower.
"Siwei, I can feel my body"s need for the magic energy filling here. Can I stay here longer?" Zero pleaded softly.
"Sure, but you need to come back on the day of the apprentice spell compet.i.tion!"
Zero gently shook her fur formed by the secret method energy. She seemed like a real cat smelling the breath of a mice. In a short moment, she found a place with the strongest magic energy. Then her whole body went into the shadow and jumped hard. Through the s.p.a.ce of the shadow plane, she jumped over the heavy rocks on the main plane and came to a huge arcane crystal buried deep in the mountain.
This arcane crystal is the size of a volleyball and is full of magic energy enough to intoxicate any magician.
As if lurking in the body"s internal instinct, zero soft uvula gently * * * * with the arcane crystal, the originally angular surface became soft and moist, as if the energy contained in the inside like an iceberg began to slowly melt.
This is not the instinct of zero, but the instinct of the mysterious cat-like familiar called by Siwei from the astral world, but the familiar was replaced by zero before the mind was formed.
Zero greedily absorbed the energy of this arcane crystal. She felt that it was not too far away from her first evolution.
Zero and Siwei have the deepest fetters on the soul level. They can know each other"s feelings, thoughts, and what they have seen and heard. At this moment, Siwei seems to be sucking the familiar of energy in arcane crystal like crazy, experiencing all the feelings in this process.
In the book, arcane crystal"s biggest role is to make all kinds of magic with magical effect, but he didn"t think zero can directly draw energy from arcane crystal for her own food, this transformation is very magical, and has great research value!
For the next two days, as zero was still in the arcane crystal mine, Siwei had to live in seclusion, spending most of his magic before going out every day and trying to avoid steward Edward.
"Siwei, I think I have mastered the "choke! " Without your help, I could not have mastered such a strong zero-ring spell in just five days. Thank you very much for your guidance! Charlotte gently pushed aside Siwei"s bedroom door with a joyful smile: "I find you seem a little uncomfortable these two days? I brought you lunch! "
"Oh, is my favorite steak and hairtail! Thank you very much, you are always so careful! " Steak in the tower is almost the most precious and rare delicacy, meaning Charlotte is still a girl with great care.
"Siwei, although I now have a choke!" This apprentice spell is the trump card for fighting, but I don"t seem to have the magic to knock down Yang! Even if he interrupts his casting, if I cannot win quickly, I am afraid I will eventually lose!" Charlotte quietly waiting for Siwei finish his lunch, frowning as she asked.
"I have also considered this problem! In the use of" choke!" Before you spell, you need to use other spells to make Yang use other element weak resistance enhancement spells, and then use" choke!" During the period when Yang cannot convert elements you strike. As for the final winning shot, I only have one idea now, but there is no guarantee ... "Siwei mused.
"What is the magic idea? Tell me quickly! " Charlotte asked eagerly.
"I need your two remaining gems as experimental materials, is that okay?" Siwei looked up and smiled mysteriously at Charlotte.
"No, no problem! I"ll give it to you now! " Charlotte made up her mind when she bit her silver tooth: "Siwei, there are only three days left before the apprentice spell compet.i.tion. My hope of victory rests on you!"
"Don"t worry, I won"t let you down!" Siwei has completely emptied Charlotte"s gem reserves, but this time Siwei is still very conscientious.
There are two ways to help Charlotte. One is to teach her the "magic missile" spell, which can still be cast once after Charlotte has grown to 17 standard magic levels, but this is undoubtedly the stupidest way. As for the second kind, it is Siwei"s inspiration.
From zero.
