Liv was not arrogant enough to think that she was qualified to participate in the Mother of All Living Games.
The purpose of opening the prop shop and transferring it to Oran was to keep an eye on Phoenix City, hoping to take this opportunity to understand the rules of the god's game. In the final analysis, it was the desire for knowledge and curiosity that was at work.
Olan stayed in Phoenix City. Observing the God Game at close range might help him break through to the fifth-ring mage, but he had no idea of letting him enter in person. In a battlefield of this level, not to mention the fourth-ring mage, several would die. It is common for the Seventh Ring Mage.
The words in the letter were unclear, but Liv still wanted to persuade him based on the relationship between master and disciple. The letter was unreliable, so just go ahead. At least the other parties in the game have not yet appeared, so it won't be too dangerous for the time being.
Of course, the bad feelings and letters are not direct evidence, and everything may be just her imagination.
After much thought, I decided to bring the ancient secret weapon with me. What if Oran is really useful?
The mage could just walk away, use a little magic, and spend two days arriving at the props shop in Phoenix City.
"Teacher." When Liv came in, Olan stood up and greeted her.
"Did you really cooperate with the king here? What did you say before I left?"
"Teacher, there is no cooperation yet, it is just ordinary commodity trading. But I also want to know the answer to what he wants to get."
Liv didn't rush to speak. She walked to the counter and found a short table to sit on before continuing: "What is it?"
"Magic adsorption and storage device, used to support the city's defense array."
It is indeed a topic that can attract mages. In Aolan's situation, there is a strong need for this. He cannot understand the nature of magic, and it is out of reach to become a fifth-level mage.
The Five Rings are called advanced mages. The best in this period can already adjust the functions of magic according to their own needs. The weaker ones can also specialize and improve some magic.
The process from the fourth ring to the fifth ring is difficult to forcibly improve using traditional knowledge teaching. This involves some situations that even Liv cannot understand. As a result, latecomers cannot follow the steps of the forerunners and move forward step by step. They must have their own realization.
"Why do you think you can do it? Because of the secret weapon in my hand?"
Oran shook his head: "No, you have obtained the secret weapon for many years. If there is any major discovery, you will tell me. I think it can be done, because he can artificially create gems."
"gem?"
"Blue, ruby, magic gem, that kind of gem. The sample he gave me is transparent. I confirm that it is a gem, not a magic crystal."
"My Healing Game"
Hiss... Liv took a breath slowly, this news was so shocking.
It is known that magic gems can be made here, and many mages can find them.
"Where are the samples?"
"I sent it to a friend. I have some answers I want to know and I need his help."
"can not say?"
"Maybe it's also a little surprise for the teacher. I have to wait for the exact answer."
Liv was embarrassed.
Having a desire for truth is a good thing for a mage. Olan, who was born as a half-elf, was able to reach today because of this persistence in knowledge. With the support of artificial gemstones, no matter what she does, it will be easier. As a teacher, she should encourage her.
But the identity of the target is too sensitive, and it would not be wise to tie oneself to a certain chariot at least before all parties come on stage.
Olan is open-minded and does not need the teacher to embarrass him: "Teacher, let me stay. Ancient mages also made many sacrifices on their way to explore the truth. I am ready to face any result."
"Why."
Sighing, knowing that persuasion was useless, the Phoenix King, who had artificial gemstones, could find other mages to take over the project at any time, and there was never a shortage of mages crazier than Oran in the world.
Even if he is taken away by force, he will always be thinking about this in the future. With his level of magic, there is no way he can access this level of knowledge without a large number of gems or magic crystals.
Liv was worried for a while and then let it go. She was not a person who had never seen life and death. She had to bear the consequences of her own choices. She had known this since she was a child.
Change the subject elsewhere: "How long will it take for your friend's little surprise?"
"I hope he can give me the results within half a month, but I don't know if it will be enough."
There are very few mages who work part-time as alchemists, but alchemists are not necessarily mages, they may also be magicians, or even orcs. Oran devoted all his attention to magic and had little time to study alchemical knowledge.
"How are you going to surprise me if I don't come?"
"Let's find the contact person and ask for a sample to be sent to you. The details will be sent with the letter."
Liv was a little surprised: "Connector?"
Oran affirmed: "Yes, I haven't met the king of this city yet. It's always a female human with blond hair and blue eyes who comes to the store to interact with him."
"Oh?" This situation was a bit strange. She thought Olan was recruited into the palace to talk.
There is a middleman, which means that the Phoenix King also has concerns. Maybe it is some kind of game rule, or the big tree also gave him a warning?
"In that case, I will stay and wait for your surprise. After confirming it, I will decide whether to lend you the ancient secret weapon. You will break it, right?"
"...I'm sorry, teacher."
Liv waved her hand and stood up: "You go about your business, I'll buy a small house to live in."
There is already a props shop in Oran. Liv will not open another shop this time, but just buy an ordinary small house.
Similarly, selling gold to buy a house is very cheap and the process is quick. There is a little problem with the tax part.
The smallest house in the tree only costs 700 yuan, but it actually costs 200 yuan in taxes every year.
"The tax is too much, how can we reduce it?" Liv asked the staff like ordinary people.
"You can get a tax reduction if you have a job, whether it is a job paid by the royal court or not. According to the current rules, the city defense army and urban management bureau combatants have the largest tax reduction. With your house type, you only need to pay 50 yuan a year. uu read a book"
"I have a job. I'm one of the owners of a small prop shop."
The staff lowered their heads to see what was going on. Liv didn't use any spells and waited for a while.
"I found it. For individual non-catering shop holders, it's 65 yuan off. The local tax you need to pay every year is 135 yuan. If you get your business tax payment form at the beginning of the year, you can get another 50 yuan off."
"……So complicated."
The staff smiled and said nothing.
There is no need to pay taxes now, so Liv takes the opportunity to learn about Wangtingshu's tax collection method and uses the seeds to plant a house.
This is the second time, but it is still very emotional to see the seeds grow into a small house in a few hours. Just the house and land tax of a tree can support an army.
The house is still the impression of a master's handiwork, very simple, but when people are inside, it feels bigger than when looking from the outside.
In the next period of time, Liv didn't see Oran very often.
He transformed himself into a Night Clan person and wandered around the city, but was quickly discovered.
The reason is very special, because apart from learning to call "my king", she doesn't know what the title of the Phoenix King is and what it represents.
As a last resort, I could only use some psychedelic magic to extract the information, and now I knew the terrible situation.
"The ruler of the Dark Land is the God of Night, the Mother of All Living Things, the Beginning of the Holy Spirit, a title bestowed by our Great Mother herself."
I asked several Night Tribes and Sharp Blades using the same psychedelic spell, and they all said the same thing.
Liv quickly ran to the prop shop and grabbed Olan: "We'd better run away."
The movement was a bit loud, and a Leopard Beast man's head popped up on the stairs. Oran saluted: "Teacher, let me introduce you. This is my friend, the alchemist Bangji Bangwu. He already has the little surprise I told you last time. It worked out.”
...There is no rush to run away, just take a look.
