Chapter 124: The crystallization of faith, the plane battlefield where the strong are always strong.
Jiang Rui also quickly reacted and sneered.
"I was defeated by our Chenxi City because of my lack of strength, so I turned my anger on Pei Ze. This is the pattern of these guys."
Ke Lin said seriously: "You have to be careful. Although the people in Red Lotus City are not They dare to do anything to you, but if there is a chance, they will definitely stumble you."
"I will." Pei Ze said calmly.
He knew how dissatisfied the wizards of Red Lotus City were with him, so of course he would not let down his guard carelessly.
After chatting for a while, Ke Lin and Jiang Rui said goodbye and left, preparing to go on their mission.
Pei Ze plans to find a good place to live first.
Before leaving, Colin gave Pei Ze a memory crystal ball.
"Here is the information I recorded about the Turin plane, as well as some precautions for executing the mission. It may be of some help to you." "Thank you."
Pei Ze's eyes lit up and he took the crystal ball.
This was no less than timely rain for him who urgently needed to know the information about the plane battlefield.
As a courtesy, Pei Ze also gave Colin a bottle of resonance potion.
"This is a thank you gift."
Colin subconsciously caught it, and when he saw that it was the resonance potion, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Then I'm welcome." He accepted it happily.
Jiang Rui on the side suddenly felt regretful. If he had known that Pei Ze would be so generous, he would have given the information to Colin before he could.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Pei Ze took Su Ya and Peng Yan and left the exchange.
There were stone houses for rent and sale near the exchange. Pei Ze quickly found a suitable residence and rented three stone houses on the same rock cliff with a wave of his hand, paying half a year's rent at a time.
"Have a good rest today and go to the mission hall tomorrow." Pei Ze turned around and said to Su Ya and the other two.
The two of them immediately responded in unison.
Pei Ze opened the door and walked into the stone house.
Inside is a beautifully decorated living room with light yellow as the main color. There are room doors facing each other on the left and right. There are eight rooms in total, giving people the feeling of a noble castle bedroom.
The floor was covered with gray and white blankets, and some cheap fluorescent crystals were inlaid on the walls. The soft and elegant yellow light illuminated the entire stone house.
Furniture, sofas and seats are all available.
Other than being a little closed off, everything else is fine.
"Not bad."
Pei Ze nodded with satisfaction.
Although strictly speaking, this environment is not worth fifteen magic stone coins a month, but considering that this is a war fortress in an alien plane, it is still acceptable.
Pei Ze took out the goblin hut and let Xiao Yi out for some air.
Let the little guy go aside and do some activities on his own, while he sat down on the sofa in the living room, took out the crystal ball given by Colin, and began to browse the information inside.
The first is about the plane of Turin.
According to the division of divine planes, the Turin plane is a medium multi-theological plane.
There are currently three middle-level gods known to exist in this plane, namely the Lord of Thunder, who controls the priesthood of Thunder, the Stormsinger, who controls the priesthood of Storm, and Lady Winter Frost, who controls the priesthood of Frost and Winter.
Based on the beliefs of these three gods, the people of Turin established three human kingdoms: the Thunder Theocracy, the Storm Theocracy, and the Frost Theocracy.
Red Maple City is one of the two major war fortresses located in the Winter Frost Theocracy.
The other is White Ice City located in the south of the Winter Frost Theocracy.
Relying on the unexpected invasion in the early stage, the combined armies of Dawn City and Red Lotus City captured a lot of territory.
By the time the Winter Frost Theocracy reacted and many nobles in the north formed a coalition under the call of the sect and the two grand dukes, the wizard army had already established a firm foothold in the Turin plane.
After several battles, the people of Turin were unable to gain any advantage. They could only confront the wizard army and block the opponent's conquest.
Now both sides are accumulating strength and recuperating for the next war.
However, although the war did not break out, small-scale fighting never stopped.
In the buffer zone between the two armies, in this wilderness with a depth of more than 800 kilometers, countless battles break out every day.
Clear out scouts, remove outposts, capture or destroy fortifications, seize resource points, and even sneak behind enemy lines to destroy supply points.
Under the surface calm, the confrontation between the two sides never stopped.
Many of these confrontations are completed by free wizards, which is also the main source of merit points for free wizards.
Seeing this, Pei Ze already understood.
To put it simply, free wizards are actually like elite special forces and assault troops, engaged in tasks such as seizing or destroying key facilities that affect the war behind enemy lines to share the pressure on the main army.
"That's fine. We don't have to participate in the main war."
Pei Ze nodded secretly.
On the ever-changing battlefield, personal power will be infinitely reduced.
Unless you have the powerful strength of one enemy, in front of the organized magic legion, the impact that personal power can have is very limited.
If you are not careful, you can easily fall into danger or even lose your life.
Even wizards can't avoid this kind of thing.
But if you just fight Qiufeng from the outside, it won't be too dangerous.
Pei Ze calmed down and continued browsing.
It didn't take long for him to finish reading the information about the Turin plane, followed by the information about Red Maple City.
The current commander-in-chief of Red Maple City is Councilor Ji Zhang and Councilor Xu Bao.
The latter is a member of the Red Lotus Council of Red Lotus City.
In addition, Red Maple City is stationed with four main legions and two golem legions, as well as hundreds of miscellaneous legions and slave legions composed of foreign races.
Most of these legions were stationed on the front line, facing off against the Turin army from a distance.
But these didn't have much to do with Pei Ze. He just took a cursory glance, remembered them in his mind, and then looked down.
Next is the resources section.
Pei Ze's main focus was on increasing and condensing mental resources.
Among them, in terms of increasing mental power, in addition to slow-acting ones like resonance potions, there are also many that have immediate effects.
Such as unicorn blood essence.
This liquid, which is refined from unicorn blood, can significantly increase mental energy levels after consumption.
Although it has the disadvantage that the higher the mental energy level, the lower the effect, but it still cannot hide its preciousness.
A bottle of unicorn blood essence is worth 100 merit points, which is more than three times that of the resonance potion.
There is also the bud of the Holy Spirit.
This is a native product of the Turin plane. It is said to be a plant watered by the Winter Frost Sect with holy water. It contains rich energy and is often used in the promotion ceremony of trainee priests.
After research, the wizards discovered that the buds of the Holy Spirit have the dual effect of strengthening physical and spiritual levels at the same time, and are more valuable to wizards than unicorn blood.
But this thing is also flawed - it contains the power of faith.
Every time you take it, it takes a lot of time to eliminate the power of faith.
Only after it is completely eliminated can you continue to take the next one.
Otherwise, if you take it continuously for a short period of time, you may be eroded by the power of faith and become a fanatical believer of Ms. Winter Frost.
——A wizard has become a fanatical believer in a god, and if word spreads about it, he will be laughed out of his mouth. Despite its flaws that cannot be ignored, the powerful effect of Holy Spirit Bud still keeps its price high.
A bud of the Holy Spirit is worth 300 merit points, far more than the blood essence of a unicorn.
"Holy spirit buds and unicorn blood essence? With these two things, maybe I can reach the first level of gasification limit soon."
Pei Ze's spirit perked up slightly.
He originally expected that it would take four to five months to reach the first level of gasification limit, but now it seems that as long as he has enough merit points, this time may be shortened to half, or even less.
"As well as concentrating mental power."
Pei Ze continued to look down.
There are not many things suitable for a first-level gasification wizard to condense his spirit, and the information provided by Colin only mentions one kind.
The crystallization of faith!
The crystallization of the power of faith extracted from the symbols of gods that Turin people worship daily - including but not limited to statues, sacred vessels, etc.
"This thing can be used to condense mental power?"
Pei Ze clicked his tongue in surprise.
"The buds of the Holy Spirit and the crystallization of faith are all very attractive resources for wizards." "
Especially the latter. It seems that there are very few replaceable resources and are of greater value to wizards. However, they exist as long as they are in the divine plane. There are a lot of faith crystallizations."
"For this alone, the divine plane can be called a veritable treasure trove of wizards, not to mention that this is just the tip of the iceberg. There must be other precious resources that I don't know about." Pei Ze finally understood why the wizard was
so 'Like' the divine plane.
"One standard unit of faith crystal. 1000 merit points?"
Pei Ze grinned as if he had a toothache. The price is twice as much as the bud of the Holy Spirit.
But then I thought about it. Things like statues of gods and sacred artifacts must be closely guarded by the people of Turin. It's probably not as easy as destroying a Turin people's fortifications to get them. It's understandable that the price is so high. .
Shaking his head, Pei Ze continued to look down. After that, there were various materials, potions, magic items, puppets and other resources.
He glanced over it and then looked at the information in the mission section.
Red Maple City currently provides many tasks to free wizards, including killing Turin scouts, removing outposts, destroying enemy fortifications and guarding resource points, etc.
Among them, killing the Turin scouts and removing the outposts are the least difficult, and a single wizard can complete them alone.
As long as you are not too unlucky, there is basically no danger.
But destroying enemy fortifications and guarding resource points is much more dangerous.
The former is equivalent to taking the initiative to jump into the territory where the enemy is waiting, and forcefully break into the dragon's pond and tiger's den. Without sufficient strength, it is no different from dying.
As for the latter, at a time when both sides are desperately trying to seize resources and accumulate strength, it is self-evident that the risk is high.
However, guarding resource points has a huge benefit that is hard to refuse.
Most of these resource points are various mineral veins snatched from the people of Turin.
Red Maple City needs to obtain a large amount of rare metals from these mineral veins to build golems and magic equipment, but because the mineral veins are too scattered, it is difficult to allocate enough manpower to guard them, so they simply set a rule.
Any free wizard who guards a resource point only needs to hand over half of the resources developed by the resource point to Red Maple City during the guarding period, and the rest belongs to him.
Whether you want to keep it for your own use, or want to exchange it for merit points of equal value, it is up to the defender to decide.
When this rule came out, it caused an uproar, and many free wizards were tempted.
After all, that’s half of the income from one resource point!
The income in just one month is probably more than what they gained from a year of hard work on the battlefield.
However, the heart is full of excitement, and there are not many free wizards who are truly capable of taking on this task.
First of all, you don’t have to think about it to know that the resource points will definitely be taken care of by the people of Turin.
If you want to hold on to resource points, it's impossible for just one or two wizards to do it.
Even if the guarding wizard is powerful enough to single-handedly repel the incoming Turin people, if the opponent is determined to destroy the resource points, he will be unable to stop them on his own.
The best way is to first earn enough merit points, exchange them for a large number of puppets, golems or alien relatives from the exchange, and form a strong enough army, so that you can be sure to hold on to the resource points.
And to do this, the number of merit points required is not a small amount.
In addition, the development of resource points also needs to be undertaken by the wizard himself.
This would require purchasing a team of slaves for mining and smelting.
This is also a big expense.
Therefore, in most cases, several wizards cooperate to guard and develop a resource point, and then share the profits equally.
Although the income is diluted, it is better than nothing at all.
"Resources?"
Pei Ze's eyes flashed slightly.
This is a good way to earn merit points quickly.
He finally understood that the plane battlefield is actually a place where the strong are always strong and the weak are always weak.
People who are strong enough can earn enough merit points in the early stage to buy puppets, golems or dependents to strengthen their power, and then continue to earn more merit points, snowballing their strength and forming A virtuous cycle.
Those who lack strength can only work hard to earn a few meager merit points, which are not enough to even buy potions and materials, let alone form their own army.
In the long run, you can only complete tasks with low difficulty but low rewards and struggle in the quagmire.
"The plane battlefield is a place that values strength after all."
Pei Ze sighed, put away the crystal ball, and thought about the next arrangements.
There is no doubt that he will definitely accept the task of guarding resource points.
After all, exchanging Holy Spirit Buds and Faith Crystals requires a large amount of merit points, and guarding resource points is obviously the fastest way to obtain massive merit points.
"I have a lot of magic oak seeds in my hand, which is my advantage." "
I can completely use these seeds to form a small army now." "
But if I want to guard a resource point with this power, I guess it won't be enough." It’s too much, it’s better to buy some more puppets or golems.”
Pei Ze quickly started to think twice.
Complete a few simple tasks first, earn enough merit points to build your own army, and then take on the task of guarding resource points.
Step by step!
After making the decision, Pei Ze's expression immediately relaxed.
Putting away the crystal ball, he took out various rare metals from the space ring and placed them one by one on the table in front of him.
During this period, he earned 2,000 magic stone coins from selling resonance potions for emergencies, and the rest was used to purchase rare metals needed for the evolution of Silver Star.
There are four standard quantities in total.
After controlling the silver star to absorb all the metal, it was successfully strengthened to the '+7' level.
Looking at the molten metal suspended in front of him, Pei Ze showed a satisfied smile on his face.
A third-level witchcraft requires at least a first-level crystallization level of mental power to operate.
However, his spiritual crystal has a larger volume and a higher upper limit than ordinary wizards. As long as it reaches energy level 24, he can still barely control third-level witchcraft.
Before that, you can completely strengthen the Silver Star to a critical state (+17).
"With my current strength, I am not afraid of the upper-level liquefied wizard." "
As for the first-level crystal wizard, you have to fight it to know."
