Chapter 5: The treasure legacy of my distant grandfather (seeking for follow-up reading)
"The magic stone resources in this world are so rich?"
Ricardo couldn't help but ask.
The so-called magic stone is the currency of wizard civilization.
It is the main resource traded by wizards and apprentices. It is a black crystal-like ore that contains special energy, can stimulate and enhance mental power, and can be used for meditation or various spellcasting purposes.
Use different magic stones in rotation to stimulate the spirit and be used for meditation, which can also increase the effect of meditation.
Therefore, no wizard force would dislike too many magic stones.
And in front of me.
Based on Ricardo’s preliminary judgment.
This big cross, except for the attributes added by the large piece of magic stone, is really just a cross.
There are no magic circuits in it.
It’s just a decorative cross!
Ricardo understood the respect, and even fanaticism, that religious people had for various symbols of gods.
But in the Knight Continent and the Wizard Continent, at least the various divine churches that Ricardo had seen on the outskirts of the continent were not so extravagant as to turn a pile of magic stones into an ornament with only symbolic meaning.
"It's a small fortune."
Ricardo immediately walked to the pulpit and put the big cross into the magic item storage bag.
If this big cross is cut into magic stones, he may not be able to accumulate these magic stones in a few years if he just sells his energy to work in the Wizarding Continent.
"This is just a small head."
"The big head of old Richard's inheritance is all in the secret basement of this church.
Ricardo lamented that a mid-level wizard apprentice in this world could be so wealthy.
He kept recalling the memory fragments he had obtained. .Looking
for the location of the secret basement.
Soon, he found a special brick on a stone wall in the nearby prayer room.
He tapped the brick lightly with the wizard's staff.
Creak.
An invisible one. A crack in the door appeared.
He walked in.
He saw a staircase leading to the basement.
"Found it!" "
Ricardo calmed down and used the 'Spirit Possession Trick' to strengthen the defense of his wizard's robe.
Then, he slowly walked down the basement stairs.
The basement space going down was not completely dark.
The underground space Inside, there is a lot of light that passes through the small holes above, passes through a rainproof device, hits some mirrors, and then reflects into the basement.
"It's still a little unclear.
"But, it seems that the high school students wore flashlights in their uniforms? " "
Ricardo rummaged through the high school uniforms that he had put away before and found a flashlight.
Turning on the flashlight, the entire basement room facilities were immediately visible.
"..."
Ricardo was silent for a moment.
"Old Richard is just a human being in this world. An intermediate wizard apprentice. "
How dare he, how can he deserve it..."
Ricardo looked at the complete wizard laboratory in front of him and exclaimed.
This is a standard wizard laboratory.
When Ricardo was in the wizard continent, except for wizards, among the apprentices, I have only heard that some promising top apprentices have such laboratories.
The floor on one side of the basement is filled with wooden and metal boxes of various sizes and shapes, which contain magic materials and props commonly used by apprentices, and four huge experimental tables. It is filled with sophisticated experimental instruments, such as distillers, test tubes, beakers, funnels, droppers, alcohol lamps, microscopes, syringes and other conventional ones. There are two experimental
benches, and there are even a lot of them. Magic stones or energy ores assist in driving and matching precision instruments.
The scientific power of the world where London is located, combined with the wizard civilization, can allow an intermediate wizard apprentice to have all this!
"The key point is that old Richard is really not a research-oriented talent. "
Ricardo saw several pairs of knight's inner armor and knight's weapons hanging on the walls of the basement.
In the memory fragments, when old Richard explained his experience before his death, he often liked to use the name of knight when he was ganging up in the East Circle. Combat skills clear the way, occasionally supplemented by spells.
...
"Now, these are all mine!" "
Ricardo tried to use the teleportation ability of the evil flowers of the two worlds to test how many things he could bring back to the wizarding world at one time.
He ran back and forth.
Combined with divination, he estimated that he could only carry what he was wearing at one time and return it to himself. Teleport with something in your arms.
"Wait.
"Why should I move now? " "
How about setting up a protective circle here directly, or waiting for me to move to the 'Flower Manor' and tidy up a big room in the Wizarding World?"
Ricardo found that there was no need to be too anxious now.
"Also, these are not all."
Ricardo looked towards the innermost side of the basement.
There, a large number of magic stones built a sophisticated protective circle, which protected a copper-shell safe and a pile of books and documents.
I saw a luxurious place again.
Ricardo was amazed when he saw that old Richard used magic stones as bricks to build a protective magic circle during his lifetime.
"This is a protective circle built with hundreds of magic stones!"
"Unfortunately, it takes some effort to crack it before you can get it."
Ricardo knew from the memory fragments that old Richard took Ricardo, a high school student who originally believed in materialism, with him. , saw the hidden wizarding civilization in London.
He gave Ricardo, a high school student, a self-study growth chart for apprentices.
The protective array in front of me is an apprentice graduation test.
Only by cracking this protective circle can high school student Ricardo completely pass Old Richard's test and obtain all the inheritance.
Inside the protective circle, there is also a letter of recommendation for Wizard University prepared by Old Richard for high school student Ricardo.
"For me, I can try to crack it now."
Ricardo is also an intermediate wizard apprentice.
And having been educated in the Wizarding Continent where wizarding civilization is more advanced, he does not need to learn the basic knowledge of a wizard apprentice step by step as old Richard expected for high school student Ricardo during his lifetime.
Ricardo tried to crack it and estimated the time it would take him to crack the entire protective circle.
"If it's more violent, with intelligence cracking and some rampage, it will take about three days..." "
But..."
Ricardo looked at the magic circle in front of him that used magic stones like bricks, showing a distressed expression.
If there was any violence during his cracking process, many magic stones would be burned because they were connected to the nodes of the entire protective circle.
Ricardo didn't want to waste these magic stones. Even though it might be easier to obtain magic stones in this world, it was not too much to spend a few more days to increase the initial capital for startup.
"There may be some magic circle nodes that are different from the Wizard Continent. I still need to check the information..."
Ricardo glanced at the innermost nodes of the protective magic circle. He could understand it, but he really wanted to perfectly dismantle the protective magic circle. There are also many challenges.
"I remember that Paris said that his office was equipped with a small library. I happened to forget some places. If the hack is too wasteful later, I may have to go to the library. There happened to be several items. It's up to Paris..."
After making a little plan in his mind, Ricardo felt a little sleepy.
At this time, corresponding to the time in the wizarding world, it should be late at night.
"Go back and rest first, and we'll do the rest tomorrow."
Ricardo retreated to the ground and restored the basement entrance to its original appearance.
Then, he initiated the teleportation.
Before teleporting, he looked at the panel again.
Flower of Evil: 15%...
In the past time, the progress of Flower of Evil has increased again, removing more deep-seated pollution in the mental space.
