Beta was sleeping on the bed, and I have to say that Nathan was a very generous person. The house that Beta lives in is not too big, but it is more than enough for one person. Moreover, the quality of life here is quite high. Whether it is furniture, tableware, or bedding, they are all of high quality.
There were even fresh fruits on the table in the center of the room.
Beta was eating fruit and lying on the bed. Of course he felt Nadette's wariness towards him and Heidi's scrutiny of him. In his opinion, this is a normal thing. If a newcomer wants to fully integrate into another group, he must go through various tests and make a lot of efforts.
While eating the fruit, he was thinking about his future course of action and what he should pay attention to. After eating, he got up and began to decorate the house. He took out the magic materials from the magic space of the mansion and started making simple magic circles and magic scrolls.
The light of magic flickered in the room from time to time.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Beta opened the door and took a look and found Heidi standing outside the door.
She had a strange expression on her face: "What are you doing in the room? We feel extremely unstable magic fluctuations."
"Oh, I'm doing a magic experiment." Beta opened the door wide and let Heidi see the whole picture of her room: "There may be some small magic echo, which is really noise to you, I'm sorry. After a while I will set up a magic barrier to prevent it from affecting you."
"You work really hard. No wonder you have such strength at such a young age." Heidi looked at the magic lines in the room that were still shining with magic luster. She laughed dryly: "I heard that it is easy for magicians to do experiments. If something goes wrong, can you be considerate of us?"
In this world, it is very common for magicians to conduct experiments and blow up the surroundings. The most exaggerated one was when a certain magic master accidentally opened the portal to the underworld while conducting magic experiments. Not only did dark elements invade the main world in large numbers, but also All the undead creatures in the underworld ran out, covering thousands of miles.
Of course, this was an exaggeration. It was just a bunch of undead creatures that occupied a plain of about 500 square kilometers for more than ten days.
But this still shows that once magicians fail in magic experiments, they will generally cause great disasters.
It is reasonable for Heidi to be worried.
Beta thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I won't do any experiments and will just make some ordinary magic scrolls."
Heidi originally wanted to say that it was best not to make the scroll, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words back. After all, Cook has taken a step back, and the two of them are not very familiar with each other. If he pushes further, he may make the other party unhappy.
"By the way, if you are willing to make some magic scrolls and distribute them to everyone, you can ask the city lord for reimbursement of the required materials. At the same time, you can also get some support."
Everyone hopes to have one or two practical magic scrolls in their hands for self-defense. Although there was a spell caster in the city lord's mansion before, Perth. But he was not good at making scrolls. At the strong request of the city lord, he had tried it, but even with the elementary magic scroll, his success rate was less than 30%, which was a waste of magic materials.
If this young man is good at making scrolls, it would be a good thing for them.
When Beta heard this, his mind became active.
Beta is very rich now...but sometimes, even with money, you can't buy magic materials, because some rare or very practical magic village materials are not for sale. Just like Beta, he would not just dig up and sell the magic materials under Waking City now.
His success rate in making magic scrolls is almost 100%, but he can deliberately suppress the success and take the opportunity to hack some materials. And most importantly, if he makes more scrolls, the city lord will have another reward.
Echo City is a big city, a big city in France. Beta was certain that the king of Hollevan was not as good as Nadette in terms of enjoyment of life. It shouldn't be a big problem to hack a batch of magic materials from here.
If someone else became the pope, they would maintain their identity and disdain to do such a thing. But Beta has never had that idea. His essence is still a player. It is already an instinct for players to use "mission loopholes" to get as much benefit from NPCs as possible.
"Then Ms. Heidi, can you help me convey a message to the city lord?" Beta smiled slightly and said: "I have quite a lot of experience in making magic scrolls."
Heidi looked at him deeply: "Okay, no problem."
Then the two separated, and Beta returned to the room and continued to study the magic patterns, but the movement was much smaller.
Heidi went down to the third floor and came to the city lord's study again. After telling Beta what he said, Nadette was extremely surprised: "Oh, that young man actually has this ability? If he didn't tell lies, he wouldn't be needed. Come and propose marriage to me in person, I almost want to marry my daughter to him. "
Heidi smiled and didn't know what he was laughing at: "City Lord, I brought the words to you. Whether you agree or not, that's your business."
After saying that, Heidi turned around to leave, but Nadette held her back: "Wait, I just have some time, stay here for a while."
Heidi smiled charmingly: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Otilia?"
"She already knew, she just didn't want to pay attention to us." Nadette pulled Heidi into his arms: "She knows a lot now and should be able to understand us."
Beta waited in his room for almost an hour before Heidi knocked on his door again.
Beta, who was quite perceptive, noticed that Heidi had changed her clothes and seemed to have taken a shower. As a person who has experienced many battles, Beta naturally understood what might have happened to her. He just raised his eyebrows without any special thoughts.
Behind Heidi, there were six guards, each of them holding a heavy box.
"These are the magic materials sent to you by the city lord. There are some in the city lord's palace. I have allocated some for you. How many magic scrolls you can make depends on your own ability."
Heidi made a gesture, and several guards put the box into the room.
"Don't be too tired, because maybe the mission will start soon."
Heidi smiled kindly, and then walked past Beta, bringing with her a burst of fragrance after bathing.
Beta closed the door, opened six boxes one by one, and then clicked his tongue.
"This is only a small part of the magic materials. France is indeed a big country, and Echo City is indeed a big city."
That being said, Beta didn't feel much surprised. After all, he has long known that as long as a very large country develops normally, a small country will never be able to match it.
For example, in the Rabbit Country on Earth, the basic industrial output value of 2.4 days is equivalent to the annual GDP of a certain Southern Monkey Country. The Rabbit Country has a seven-day New Year holiday, and all factories are closed during the holiday. The basic value of industrial output lost during these seven days is already It is almost equivalent to the annual GDP of the three southern monkey countries. The gap is so huge that it is incredible.
The comparison between Hollevan and France is almost the comparison between the Southern Monkey Country and the Rabbit Country.
The types and quantities of magic materials contained in the six boxes were all different. Beta took a look and found that in addition to more than a dozen common magic materials, there were also several materials that were relatively rare in Hollevin. His eyes lit up and he suddenly felt This time it was fruitful.
He immediately made a few simple magic scrolls and then secretly collected a small amount of magic materials. These missing materials were regarded as the losses after his 'failure to make'.
During this process, the waiter from the City Lord's Mansion brought him dinner. It was very sumptuous. It not only had a good combination of meat and vegetables, but also tasted good. There was even a soup.
In line with the principle of not wasting, Beta ate everything. After a while, the waiter knocked on the door and came in, taking away the dishes for cleaning.
He made a few more scrolls... Beta deliberately made these newly made scrolls not so perfect. After all, he is now a master-level spell caster. The power and effect of perfectly made scrolls are naturally master-level. When other people use it, they feel something is wrong.
An imperfect scroll will reduce the power and effect of the magic scroll. As long as it is below the master level, other people will naturally not feel anything strange when using it.
It was already late at night, but looking down from the balcony on the third floor of the City Lord's Mansion, the huge Echo City was still brightly lit. The envoys lived halfway up the mountain, and Beta could also hear the noise of the busy city coming from far away. sound.
One day, Waking City will be as lively and prosperous as this one.
Beta patted the railing of the balcony and was about to take a rest when she heard a rapid knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw a young man named Robben.
He said with a serious face: "Gather in the lobby on the first floor. The mission is about to begin."
Beta nodded, returned to the house, wrapped the scrolls on the table in the tabletop, carried it and walked out.
Robben looked at Beta with some surprise, but said nothing and followed him down the stairs.
Except for the two of them, everyone else was already in the hall. When they saw Beta, their eyes looked a little strange.
"Mr. Cook, didn't I have someone inform you that we have to gather at this time?" Nadette was wearing black leather armor with a somewhat unhappy expression on his face: "You ignored my order on your first mission. This is not good."
Beta shrugged helplessly: "The problem is that no one informed me."
Heidi groaned and said sheepishly: "I forgot."
Nadette was stunned for a moment, and then realized what was going on. He and Heidi were overly excited in the study and soiled Heidi's clothes. After Heidi took a bath, he forgot to notify Beta. Exact time.
Nadette figured out what was going on in an instant, coughed slightly, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this problem for now."
Beta placed the scroll in his hand on the table. When everyone saw it, their faces were a little happy.
The city lord sent magic materials to Beta, and many people knew about it. They also expected Beta to give them a surprise, but they didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly.
There are fourteen scrolls on the table, each of which contains quite strong magic power fluctuations.
The names of the spells were written on the scrolls, and Nadette checked them one by one.
"Fire ball technique, lightness technique, brute force technique, treatment of intermediate injuries, long-range attack defense..."
Every time he said the name of a spell, the faces of the professionals around him were full of surprise. These were very practical spells. Any scroll could be sold for at least three gold coins in the market. This scroll for treating intermediate injuries can even be sold for six gold coins.
Nadette showed a surprised expression: "Mr. Cook, you are so awesome! How successful are you in making scrolls?"
"Normally, it's about 60%." Beta thought for a while and said, "If you have an apprentice assistant, it can probably go up to 70%."
The apprentice assistant that Beta mentioned is the master-apprentice relationship of the major magic towers. He said this just to add some convincing to his fictional background. Since Nadette sent Heidi to test him, he will definitely send someone to Laguo County to find out more about himself.
Everyone almost gasped, and then all looked at the other spellcaster present, Perth.
Perth's always gloomy face showed a rare look of surprise. His success rate in making the magic scroll was less than 30%. The talent gap between the two sides in this area is a bit scary.
"There are no spellcasters in the first and fourth groups, and there is one less person, so you should divide these scrolls equally. Arnold, you choose seven first."
"Hey, you're welcome." The berserker Arnold still chose a few scrolls suitable for his team, and the rest naturally went to the fourth team.
"Mr. Cook, this time the scroll will be recorded in your contribution points for the time being. At the end of the month, additional gold coins will be distributed together." Nadette looked at Beta and looked very happy: "You have made so many scrolls. , I must be very tired, otherwise you wouldn’t participate in tonight’s action?”
Beta waved his hand and started telling lies: "It doesn't matter. When I was studying at the Red Magic Tower, I had been making magic scrolls for my tutor for the first two years. This workload is nothing compared to that time."
No wonder... everyone had a clear look on their faces, it turned out that they were taught by regular magicians.
By the way, Perce is a wild mage...that is, a self-taught magician.
Academicism, no matter in which world it is in, is synonymous with 'professional'. Perth was originally a little jealous of Beta. After all, Beta was a warlock, and his talent was so good that he felt that he had lost at the starting line of his birth. But now Beta said that he had studied in the Magic Tower, so the situation was different.
Those who have gone to school and those who have not gone to school... are different in terms of proficiency.
"Okay." Nadette nodded approvingly at Beta: "The undercover we arranged in the Temple of Light has disappeared, and Archbishop Payne will leave quietly at night..."
Nadette finished explaining the course of action and drew the action routes of each group on the map. After confirming that everyone had noted down their responsibilities, he called Heidi aside and whispered: "When you take action later, you should pay attention to protecting Cook. If things go wrong, protect his life first."
Heidi smiled: "Are you interested in talents?"
"Yes. It's really rare to see such a capable, diligent and solid young nobleman. If he can help, he can help." Nadette smiled: "But I didn't completely trust him. In the end, I still We’ll have to wait and see what news comes back from Lago County in five days.”
