Chapter 8 Going out:
The manufacturing of this magic pistol cannot be completed in a short time. The main lack is materials, and the materials can only be purchased with magic stones, because the pistol needs to withstand the magic being fired again and again, so it is inevitable It requires some extremely rare magical materials.
There are many affordable magic materials, but the best is mithril. This rare metal has very good magic transmissibility and magic resistance, but the price is extremely high, and the current Sith have no money, but are in debt. The college is in debt.
The top priority is to earn enough magic stones. Without money, no matter how lofty the ideal is, it will be a dream. There are two ways to make money. One is to go to the trading street to do some business, and the other is to go to the Bounty Building to take on tasks to make money. The first method is definitely not feasible. After all, I have nothing. At present, the only option is to go to the bounty building.
The bounty building is located on the other side of the giant tower, but it is very close to the trading street. It is convenient for students to make money after submitting tasks and trade later, or to buy and sell some things obtained in the tasks. This is a convenience provided by the academy, but I heard that the academy seems to occupy a large part of it.
The Bounty Building is nominally one building, but it is actually divided into two parts: the upstairs and the downstairs. The upstairs is dedicated to tasks for formal magicians, needless to say, while the downstairs is the tasks for magic apprentices.
There are multiple bulletin boards erected on both sides of the hall, which contain a lot of detailed task information, as well as the recommended levels and attributes of magic apprentices. Inward, there is a window similar to a modern bank. When these apprentices select the task, they will arrive. Go to the window, report the number of the task you selected, and hand over your token at the same time. There are also some apprentices who have completed the task in the window, and the corresponding information will be injected into the token, so that when he comes back, he can hand in the task directly.
Sith took a rough look and found that these tasks could be divided into several categories. One category required a longer time to complete, such as picking certain herbs, or helping a country under the academy's rule to defend a certain important location; Some are short-term, such as killing someone. Of course, this person must be someone from other magic schools or an ordinary person; the other is similar to the magic apprentice in the bounty building, doing some daily chores. This is the safest and also the lowest paying.
No matter what, the Sith will choose some that are more dangerous and more rewarding. This is also the only choice for newcomers like them. When you have a lot of debt on your back, you will know that it is best to pay off this thing as soon as possible. The most important thing is that there are not a few newcomers who die from this step!
Three days later...
Sith walked out of the school gate with a package on his back. This time, because he had experience and student tokens, Sith walked out without any hindrance, and then walked in the same direction without any problems. hesitate.
This is the first time Sith has gone out after arriving at the academy, and he will have to go through a journey like this alone for a long time. Although there is no specific research, it seems that magicians are withdrawn people, and they don't like it and don't like it. They are willing to communicate with others. They would rather stay alone in the laboratory than say hello to their neighbors. They may even think that these boring exchanges are a waste of their experimental time!
Closer to home, the task Sith accepted this time is very simple. Send an item to a location dozens of miles outside the Eye of the Stars Magic Academy. Someone will receive it there. Sith only needs to follow the map.
This mission is hung in the bounty building, and the reward for completing it is quite high, with a full fifty magic stones, which is just enough to solve the Sith's urgent needs.
But what Sith didn't know was that after he accepted the task, the magic apprentice at the counter who helped him take the task quietly left the counter and returned after about an hourglass. Not long after Sith walked out of the academy gate, his Followed by two magicians in black robes...
Sith walked all the way. Thanks to the strengthening of his body by magic, he was very fast. He was about to reach his destination in just two hours. According to the mission The description asked him to hand something over to a man in black robes, and the interface code was cuckoo... The
Sith secretly complained about this task and the so-called interface code for a long time. It was so weird that there was such a strange task. As for the thing, it was in the package on him. Sith had seen it. It was a box with sealing magic. The magic was not particularly powerful, but it would warn the caster when it was opened.
Looking around, Sith could not find this so-called connector. Even though he was in good health, he felt a little tired, so he simply sat down and started to rest.
"The newcomers these days are very courageous." A mocking word came from behind Sith, and his voice was like a broken gong.
Immediately, another voice like the hissing of a poisonous snake sounded: "It's a pity that he is too stupid."
Sith slowly turned around, and two guys in black robes stood in front of him. One was tall and ugly, and the other had a long face. It must be considered fair, but it's a pity that there are traces similar to those left by sulfuric acid corrosion all over the face.
Sith stood up calmly, unhurriedly, and even had time to pat the dirt on his robe before speaking.
"I say to you two, it's not your fault that you are ugly, but it is your fault that you look ugly and scare people. If I wanted to grow up like you, I would have wiped my neck with a knife and stayed in this world to waste Food."
Sith's words with the classic curse words from his previous life made these two guys stunned. Even though they had never seen such a person for many years of robbery, was he still a magician? Magicians generally pursue wisdom, and few can change the way they scold others. Although this one is just a magic apprentice, he has greatly refreshed their lower limit... For a long time, he looked fair but
... The guy with the skull-like face reacted and laughed ferociously: "You think we are ugly, haha. As long as you take the path of a magician, who can be good? I will let you know the power of being so ugly now!"
Of course, Sith was just mocking them, but he didn't agree with this. In his opinion, even body modification should follow the rules. As long as the transformation is made according to the rules, Sith believes that the result will have a certain effect. The existence of beauty, because of the rules, means beauty! Whether it's dark or light, just like Master Wolf, the second-level magician, his tongue speed is extremely fast, which is also a kind of beauty, rather than transforming his body into something like the two guys in front of him. An inexplicable state.
The tall guy with an ugly face stretched out the hand in his sleeve, just like stretching out a soaked pig's trotter. It was red and shiny, and the smell was unbearable.
But the pretty boy slowly took off his black robe. Don't get me wrong, there was still clothes inside, but only the upper body was exposed. It was riddled with holes, and wisps of fragrant breath floated out from time to time. It was extremely... Weird.
The two waved their hands at the same time, and the magic power began to fluctuate. Immediately, an inexplicable creature appeared in front of Sith. This creature had one head, two arms, and two legs... The next second, Sith reacted
, This guy is not a person... what else could he be.
This is indeed a person. He was still a magic apprentice during his lifetime, but he was turned into a poisonous person by these two black-robed apprentices. All consciousness has been lost, leaving only the instinct to attack.
The poisonous man waved his hand, and a stream of black air hit Sith directly. Before it reached him, Sith felt a stench coming from him, and the body parts facing the air stream even began to wither!
Disith should have been panicking at this time. This was also the scene that the two robbing students had seen most. They had been doing this job for many years. Many students died at their hands, and they still do it to this day. Carefree.
Although the Magic Academy prohibits cannibalism among students, it is basically limited to the academy. Once you walk out of the academy gate, you basically let it go. If you are killed because of your poor brain, then you can't blame others.
But Sith didn't panic, which made the two very unhappy. When they saw what Sith took out, they were all startled, and then burst into laughter.
"Haha, this guy thought he was a mortal and actually took out a crossbow. Doesn't he know that this kind of thing has basically no effect on us?" "A newcomer
is a newcomer, hurry up and let us send it to you. Let's go on the road and take a crossbow to deal with the magic apprentice. Are you scared to death? You idiot, you have never seen such a clever magic before, you country bumpkin." After saying it, Sith smiled slightly and raised his hand
. The black air flow directed at the poisonous man is like an arrow!
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise in the air, but the arrow turned into a huge fire bomb instantly after being shot. It collided with the poisonous black airflow, causing a huge explosion, and the sound resounded through the sky!
Without waiting for the two of them to react, Sith quickly wound up and fired at the poisonous man again!
Another huge fire bomb appeared and hit the poisonous man directly. After the same explosion, the poisonous man was blown to pieces. Even the body of a formal magician could not directly resist a first-level magic!
At this time, Sith had already loaded the third arrow unhurriedly, pointing at the two opponents from a distance.
"It's impossible. He's just a newcomer who has only been at school for a few days. How could he emit so much magic in an instant? It must be because of his crossbow. It must be, that must be a baby, yes, baby." Gao Da The apprentice murmured.
"Of course we can only control the baby." The little white face raised his distorted face. The face that was originally invisible was even more distorted because of fear and joy, and it was almost impossible to see.
The Sith just fired an arrow lightly...
The fire bomb technique appeared for the third time, and the tall guy was still muttering to himself, but the pretty boy pulled him over and blocked him in front of him.
The magic apprentice's body was a good barrier, and the pretty face was unscathed. He turned around and ran away, not caring about the person in front of him who had been burned to ashes.
"Just wait, Baldhead, they won't let you go. Soon, your treasure is no longer something you can keep. Soon, just wait, it will definitely be soon." roared.
Sith just stood there and did not chase after him. The reason was very simple. He only had the power of three arrows, and if he fought with his own strength, he would definitely not be his opponent. The opponent had been practicing magic for much longer than him.
Another reason is that his hand crossbow is about to be scrapped. Sith are not fools. This mission has so many commissions but it is so simple. As a person who has lived in the era of knowledge explosion since childhood, the answer is simple. Someone is setting up a trap. , so it is inevitable to take advantage of the situation.
It's just that you need about the same strength to use the trick, otherwise you have to deliver food to others, so Sith modified his hand crossbow, which was also a simple version of the magic pistol for testing. It took three days to complete the modification, because the material Inadequate, this crossbow can only fire three arrows, and it will be scrapped after three arrows.
As for being exposed, then let it be exposed. Sith's first big fortune is about to come from here. After carrying the so-called mission supplies, Sith walked towards the academy, everything was under control.
The Sith's plan is about to begin. Let's wait and see what the magician's forward-looking wisdom will bring to him.
