In Dongdu Dongren City, with the end of the appreciation competition of the Enchantment Guild, there are fewer people coming and going in the guild hall, but it has not affected the prosperity of Dongdu at all. "It turns out that the copper is called 'magic copper', which is one of the associated mineral deposits of the magic stone mine. There are two colors, gray and red. Gray is not common, and both can be used to prepare 'magic copper ink'." After searching in the guild library for a few days, Ivan found the relevant information about the raw materials for making the black magic wind and fire beads. A long time ago, he bought a broken item 'Gate of Hell Blood' at the Liuyunfang auction house, and the material taken out of it was gray magic copper. He made nine black magic wind and fire beads with those magic coppers. At present, the black magic wind and fire beads need to be re-refined, and enough magic copper is needed as raw material. "Magic copper is mostly used to mix enchanted ink. The guild has no shortage of such materials. If we think of a way, we should be able to get a batch." "However, the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array has only deduced 16 rune bundles, which is still far from the 24 rune bundles of the intermediate rune witch array. Since we have to refine the wind and fire beads again, it is best to do it in one step, so as not to have to make major adjustments in the future." Ideas are ideas, and the specifics need to be adjusted according to the actual situation. Ivan consulted someone and found out that the situation was different from what he expected. Mendane has been on duty at the guild headquarters recently, so Ivan naturally went to him for consultation.
It was still the simple research room. Mendane told him that even the elders could not exchange so much magic copper ink, and then gave a suggestion. "The method is very simple. You can submit a research project to the guild and state that a large amount of magic copper is needed in the project. If the project application is approved, you can get a large amount of magic copper." "Isn't this free?" Ivan was stunned for a moment, and instinctively felt that things were not that simple. "Of course not. At the end of the project, the guild needs to see the finished product you have researched. It depends on the situation. If the finished product is amazing enough, not only will all the raw materials be free, but you will also get a reward from the guild." Mendane explained. "What's the worst case scenario?" Ivan asked immediately. "You won't suffer any loss if you pay the price." Mendane showed a meaningful smile, paused for a few seconds, and then changed his tone: "But doing so will cause another bad consequence. It will not be so easy to pass your research project in the future. If this happens many times, you may be expelled from the guild, and you will definitely be notorious." "That's reasonable." Ivan nodded after listening. After a deep understanding of the Enchanting Guild, it can be found that the guild attaches great importance to research and invention, which can be seen from the holding of the Appreciation Conference held every ten years. Also, when I came to report, I showed Mendane the Ant King's Empty Shield that I had figured out, which immediately changed his attitude. It must be based on this point. "I hope you can understand." "Do I need to hand in the finished product drawings?" Ivan asked after a pause. "It depends on your own willingness. If you don't hand it in, you have to promise to provide the guild with a certain number of finished products, which also depends on the situation." Mendane didn't think his question was shameless. Some research involves the personal strength of the enchanter, and no one wants to reveal their own situation. What if someone finds personal weaknesses in it? Once it is leaked and targeted, it may be a disaster for the individual, and the guild doesn't want this to happen. "In fact, the elders of the guild are also divided into three, six, and nine levels. Those who have inventions have a higher status. For example, Barney Wizard who took out the "Flashing Token" this time, his current appeal is not lower than that of the vice president. With status and appeal, no matter what kind of materials he can't apply for, as long as he is willing to propose, the guild will find a way to satisfy him, and will not care about the failure in the final result. It's just a little magic copper. It's really nothing for him. Do you understand what I mean?"
Mendane revealed the inner meaning of the guild in one sentence, and looked at him expectantly. "I understand." So that's how it is. This is essentially not much different from the research topic in the previous life. The more results you have, the higher your status will be, and it will become easier to apply for funds. Ivan thought of the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array. This array actually has a remarkable effect, which is to help apprentices become formal wizards. Although it has defects, it can bring a large number of first-level wizards, which is enough to shock the entire Dongdu and even the entire wizard world. However, the Black Magic Hand, which is closely related to the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array, is a powerful spell he usually uses. If someone studies it thoroughly, it will not be a good thing for him. "You can look for it elsewhere to see if you can get magic copper. You don't have to limit your vision to the guild." Mendane added. "Thank you for your advice." Ivan did not make a decision immediately. There are some issues that he needs to think about carefully. After leaving the Enchanting Guild, he asked about the situation at the Five Leaf Spear. As expected, there is a similar mechanism inside the Five Leaf Spear. You can prepare information and plans and submit a project application to the headquarters. Once the application is approved, the Five Leaf Spear will also issue a certain amount of resources. After the project is completed, you only need to record the entire project process in detail and summarize it into archive information. "The Enchanting Guild wants finished products, while the Five-Leaf Spear wants information and knowledge. The latter is more relaxed and has greater support than the former." After a comparison, Ivan could feel that both organizations were rich and generous, but their focus was obviously different. The Enchanting Guild focused on innovative inventions. The Five-Leaf Spear focuses on innovation, which is popularly known as "making trouble". If the trouble is in line with the purpose of the organization, a new file will be added to the Vernon Millennium Archives. "In short, the more you do, the more results you get, and the higher your status will be." "Just like the experience in the castle, if Doug and I are willing, we can treat it as a novel project, but it will expose the existence of the cocoon of life and death." Before refining the cocoon of life and death into a secret clone, Ivan will not leak this experience, and Doug certainly will not. He is here to repay a favor, not to make an enemy. There is not much record of the Enchanting Guild about the cocoon of life and death. However, there are no exceptions about the spirits. They all say that this thing is very evil and difficult to deal with, and the number is slowly increasing, especially in the territory of wizards. In the following days, Ivan spent more time in the Vernon Millennium Archives. In the vast archives, he searched for information about the cocoon of life and death, and soon he confirmed Doug's judgment that what he brought back was indeed a rare cocoon of life and death. This made Ivan feel relieved. … While Ivan was busy, the thing he was worried about still happened. The spirits of the castle did not choose to keep quiet, but through some kind of connection, quietly sent messages to various spirit gathering places, informing them of what happened in the castle. "It's absurd, that villain is too much, damn wizard." "He deserves to be killed! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Curse him! Not killing him is not enough to calm our anger." As soon as the message came out, it caused an uproar in various spirit gathering places, and various curses sounded one after another, with endless hatred. What Ivan and Doug didn't know was that the cocoon of life and death was formed by the spirit's transformation from life to death. Once it breaks out of the cocoon and becomes a new life form, it will surely be the king leading the rise of the spirit. If the cocoon fails, other spirits will have the opportunity to occupy the remains and replace it. In either case, it is a great blessing for the spirit. However, someone took away what they regarded as their most precious treasure. How could the spirits not feel great resentment and resentment for such an evil act? How could they let it go? The spirits of the castle knew that they were not strong enough, so they immediately contacted other gathering places and vowed to kill the person who dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth to prevent the treasure from being tainted. After a few days, after receiving a response, the spirits of the castle began the next step. Under the moonlight, a piece of open space was cleared in the ruins of the castle. The open space was engraved with slanted and crooked lines, forming a pattern about three meters long and wide, which looked very strange. "Hurry up!" The butler urged beside the pattern. The other spirits came forward one by one and squeezed out some transparent liquid from their bodies. There were obviously black thin lines in the liquid, like a poisonous nematode. The liquid dripped onto the pattern. After doing this, the spirits' faces became even paler. Their breath was clearly much weaker. If an outsider saw this, he would be shocked. It turns out that spirits also have blood, which is filled with ominous curse power. "Montedala, Xitedala, Daladana--" After everyone finished donating blood, the butler chanted the ancient spell while activating the special force field in the castle, causing the pattern on the ground to emit a faint black glow, and even the moonlight was swallowed by it. The surroundings became darker and darker, but twisted smiles appeared on the faces of the spirits. At a certain moment, when the light on the ground sublimated to the brightest, a dark light rose from the pattern and disappeared into the air. "Go, curse him." At the same time, in the corners of the China continent, in secret gathering places, spirits were holding the same ceremony, and finally turned into a dark light that sank into the air. Only in a mountain where China Continent and Berta Blood Plain meet, there is a bigger black cocoon brewing transformation, and many spirits around it are crawling on the ground, and they have no time to respond to the message from afar. If there are wizards who can observe what is happening, they will be surprised to find that the number of spirits is much more than what they have counted. On the other side, Ivan returned to Xunmu Tower from Vernon Millennium Archives, and he felt upset for no reason. "Is this a curse?" As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor, he is very familiar with the curse power that suddenly transmitted to him. There is the breath of spirits, which makes him guess that those spirits knocked on the door in this way, making it impossible for people to avoid it. "It's really weird." "But it's still far worse than that man with deer horns."
Facing the curse power that hit him accurately, Ivan's face still did not change. He knew that he was probably used to it. Compared with the curse of demon resentment, it was really a small witch compared to a big witch. Although these spirits are strange, their methods are nothing more than this.
