Chapter 87 The darkness is always there, just find another way
Although he was a little confused, Link took the letter and put it away, and said, "Allette, say hello to your mentor on my behalf."
"I will bring it." Ellett packed up the things on the stone table, made an appointment with Link for the next time to communicate, and then turned around and left.
Link did not leave directly, turned around and confirmed that there was no one around him. He opened Vera's letter, pulled out the letter paper and started reading it.
The letter is not much, just a short paragraph, and it is not the common text of the human race, but the almost lost text of ancient earth spirit relics.
In order to have a smooth communication with Verora, Link has learned this text specifically, so he can understand it.
"My friend, I'm sorry to bother you again, but this time the situation is a bit special. Dean Master Anthony recently told me that the monitoring magic of the academy sensed some strange dark forces in Gwent Forest. Although this power is secret, the breath it reveals that its essence may be very powerful, even at level 6. I have sent the magic crow to investigate first, and once I get the exact information, I will take action personally. But in order not to attract the attention of the magician Bell, this will be a secret mission, and I can only go alone. At that time, I may need a helper. If you agree to walk with me, please contact me in time so that I can prepare early. When the time comes, I will use reasonable reasons to temporarily leave the magic academy. I expect to set off in a month. This mission is very dangerous. If you are going to walk with me, please be fully prepared."
After reading the letter, a flash of fire in Link's hand flashed, and the letter paper burned to ashes. At the same time, he felt that there was information flashing in his sight. He looked at it and saw that it was information for the new task.
Start the task: Travel with the same
Mission content: When the time is ripe, leave the Magic Academy and help Verra investigate the source of darkness in Gwenter Forest.
Mission reward: 100 free points.
When he saw such a high reward, Link felt astonished. This mission was probably not easy.
But can he refuse Verora's request? Obviously, he cannot. The other party is an angel of light, a firm ally on the road to fighting against the darkness. Since he needs his help, he naturally has to do his best.
Link chose to accept.
Fortunately, there is still one month left. At that time, Link's magic weakness period has passed, and his Domingo crystal has been purified. During this period, he should be able to develop a few more super magic techniques and accumulate some free points.
By then, he will be a very powerful level 4 magician.
"These should be enough to deal with this task."
However, despite so much preparation, Link was still feeling a little guilty. He vaguely felt that when he blocked an exit from the darkness based on the memories of his previous life game, these dark forces began to look for other exits, and Link had no idea about these new exits.
As he continues to change history, his previous knowledge is constantly losing.
"The darkness has been there, and now it has just changed its path. I really don't know what kind of disaster will happen when it finally breaks out." Link sighed.
At this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was already dark in the valley. Link had been busy for a day and felt a little tired. He slowly swayed back to Bell's magic tower. When he returned to the hall on the first floor of the Magic Tower, he saw that all the magic apprentices in the hall were gathered together, and on the podium, Drake, who played the role of the chief manager of the Bell Magic Tower, was talking about something on the podium.
Link also walked to his position in the corner and sat down and listened.
"...... In short, the order from the Kingdom Military is very large, and the requirements for quality, especially stability are very high. The mentor's requirement is to complete the task with the highest quality within the agreed time..."
On the podium, Drake spoke passionately, but the magic apprentices under the podium all showed bitterness.
After listening for a while, Link understood. It seemed that the Norton Kingdom was preparing to send a revengeful army against the Kingdom of Peilinde in the Black Forest. Naturally, before setting off, various materials must be prepared, and various magic scrolls and alchemy potions are naturally within the scope of the military procurement.
This incident has not happened in the previous life. Greenstone was successfully massacred in the previous life, and all the residents were sacrificed by the dark elves. The dark elves directly obtained the favor of the spider queen Rose and obtained the artifact. Then the Norton Kingdom continued to retreat.
"History is changing, I wonder what the outcome of this dispatch will be?" Link felt a little inexplicably heavy for some reason.
Because he came late, Link missed a lot of news, so he directly found Warwick, a magic apprentice in charge of the magic scroll.
"Warwick, what is the specific task?"
Warwick looked bitter on his face, and he stretched out five fingers and compared: "From today on, we will draw 5 magic scrolls a day, and everyone will do this, and it will last for 20 days, because the task assigned to our Magic Tower is that there are a total of 800 level 0 scrolls, and I will draw them the same."
After saying this, Link understood that he now knew that there were only 7 apprentices writing scrolls in the Magic Tower, plus Warwick had 8, 800 pictures, and 100 pictures were assigned to individuals. It was completed in 20 days, and each person had exactly five pictures a day.
However, the magical power and energy of magic apprentices are limited. The more scrolls you draw in a day, the higher the failure rate will be when your energy drops later. The task of 5 scrolls a day is really a very difficult task for middle and low-level magic apprentices.
Then, as a senior magic apprentice and also the person in charge of the magic scroll, Warwick must personally make up for this gap.
When Warwick thought of the hellish days afterwards, he wanted to die.
However, Link felt aroused in his heart, and he asked again: "It's just level 0 magic. Do you have any requirements for specific magic?"
"Yes, the military only acquires two auxiliary reels, secondary sharp and secondary armor. Nothing else is needed."
"But I only know... secondary armor now." It would be a bit shocking to say that both are mastered, but it would be more normal to master a level 0 auxiliary magic in two weeks.
"Huh? Do you have secondary armor?" Warwick's eyes lit up suddenly. He didn't count Link at all, because Link had only drawn stone spurs.
"I just learned it, but I haven't had time to say it yet, because I'm not very familiar with it, and I'm afraid of being joked." Link spread his hands, then stretched out his fingers and pointed it at himself. After 1 second, a slight green light spread across Link until it spreads all over his body.
It's level 0 magic: secondary armor.
Warwick was immediately overjoyed: "It's okay, you'll be familiar with it more, haha, what good news!"
Now, there are 9 people who can participate in the mission, and his burden is much lighter.
After Drake finished speaking, Warwick gathered the magic apprentices who drew the scroll and announced: "Time is tight and the task is huge. Let's start now."
As he said that, he sent each of them 10 blank scrolls and a bottle of silver ink.
The various magic apprentices sighed and led the scroll and Ink away, but Link still looked silent and returned to his room, but he did not rush to draw the scroll, but continued to read the magic book.
As for drawing scrolls, when I am tired of reading books and using all the inspiration for writing papers, I need to change my mind. Anyway, this is very simple.
After a good news, it was often accompanied by bad news. At 4 pm the next day, another accident occurred to the apprentice group who drew the magic scroll.
There were 2 magic apprentices who, perhaps because they were too nervous, stayed up late to write the magic scroll. As a result, there was a mistake and the magic energy backfired. Although the magic energy level was low and they did not take their lives, he had to rest for at least one month before he could recover.
Within this month, these two people cannot encounter any matters related to magic.
So, the number of people who drew the magic scroll became 7 that made the worse. Among them, Link was just mastering magic and was a complete novice. Warwick was in a panic. He just hoped that there would not be any accidents again!
"Five tickets a day, don't be too much. If you feel powerless, don't force it to complete. Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. I will find a way!" Warwick was afraid that his magic apprentice would be stubborn, so he repeatedly emphasized.
But he himself couldn't finish the order and began to draw scrolls like crazy. The next night, he actually wrote 8 scrolls alone, but his whole body was like eggplant made from frost, and he was extremely depressed and probably might not be able to recover the next day.
Warwick had no choice. This time Norton's military made a big move. He originally wanted to spend money to buy some scrolls on the market to make up the numbers, but all the scrolls on the world were purchased and they could not buy the goods even if they were paid, so he had to work hard on himself.
What a poor guy.
Chapter completed!
