Advent of the Archmage Chapter 83: Universal Crystal
The black crystal is about the size of a fist. It looks like a round shape, but it is actually a polyhedron. It looks like a football. Its material is translucent and looks like amber. You can see the room through it. Beating candlelight.
Suddenly, this thing seems very ordinary, just a piece of black spar, something that can be seen everywhere in the gem shop.
The only thing that is special is that you can clearly feel the presence of a hint of darkness in the crystal under close perception.
This breath is very slim. If it wasn't for Link's extremely sharp perception ability and the distance was so close, he wouldn't have felt it at all.
Just observing it for a while, the item information pops up in the horizon.
Intermediate Dominic Crystal (alias: Universal Crystal)
Quality: No time
Level: 5
Function: It is used to store power. This power can be element, mysterious power, transforming force field, magic energy, etc.
Current state: Power of Darkness (fullness 25%)
After seeing this news, Link jumped in his heart, and then he was overjoyed!
Domink crystal, a strange crystal invented by a genius alchemist named Domink a thousand years ago. It has an extremely huge effect and its refining is extremely complicated, so it is very expensive. A flawless Domink crystal, although only level 5, is worth at least 8,000 gold coins, and it is still priceless.
It's so profitable!
For a magician, this thing is very, very powerful.
Linke, for example, he releases the glass beads. The shortest time is currently 0.04 seconds. During this time, less than 0.01 seconds is the time used by Link to build the magic structure. time.
This is the case with glass beads, let alone a whistle. At least 0.15 seconds of the 0.2 second cast time is used to wait for the elements to converge.
But with this Dominique crystal, as long as Link stores elements such as fire, when he releases the fire magic, this time is almost negligible, then he releases the glass beads It only takes a little more than 0.01 seconds, and the whistle is estimated to be only 0.05 seconds, and even Level 3 and 4 fire elemental magic can break through the 1 second mark.
This is more than that. If magic energy is stored in it, Link's magic energy endurance will be immediately improved a lot, and the embarrassment of the kind of magic energy that has appeared before will be greatly improved!
In short, Dominique Crystal is the god-level equipment every magician dreams of!
However, this crystal cannot be used directly now, and there is one last problem, which is that this crystal is full of the dark power input by Morpheus, and he must find a way to expel it.
‘Find a priest? ’
Linke ’s first thought was like this. In previous games, he also got this kind of dark Dominic crystal, which is usually spent to find a priest to expel it.
But that's the game, here's the reality. Such a rare treasure, looking for a priest? It is estimated that people who spread it quickly knew that whether he could keep this crystal was a question.
The difference between games and reality is that games, by their very nature, are a world of abundant supplies and extremely protecting the rights and interests of players. There is no more thing, just refresh the data.
On the actual Ferroman continent, there is a shortage of materials, especially the cast materials. Otherwise, the magic materials will not be so expensive.
So Link rejected the decision as soon as possible.
"Then you can only use the soil method. Although it takes a long time, there is no sequel to victory."
In previous games, some magicians were reluctant to spend this purification cost, and they did not have an alchemy room to use, so they thought of a ‘live water purification method. ’
The specific method is that the magician puts dark Dominic crystals in living water such as streams, rivers, and mountains. Under the guidance of the water element, the dark power in Dominic crystals will be released faster, such as forests. This Level 5 Dominic crystal in Gram ’s hand should contain the dark power that can release at least a Level 5 magic, then it will take a month to purify, if it is 25% complete, that is ten days That's almost it.
However, there is a problem with this method. It releases the power of darkness in the river, no less than poisoning the river water. Think about it. A dark power contained in level 5 magic, when converted into the element of fire, erupts. The power is definitely no less than a cloud explosion!
Releasing such a huge amount of dark power in a river, the creatures in that river are absolutely dead, and if someone drinks the water in the river, it will be seriously ill.
In short, this method is very unethical.
In previous games, Link received a mission called ‘Lesson Shameless! '. The shameless magician among them did such a shattering thing that made all the crops in the farmland next to a small village below the stream water die, and all the water could not be drunk, and the lack of morality of the ancestral grave smoky.
Linker certainly can't do this kind of thing. He can improve it.
But now that the night is deep, Linke ’s injuries are beginning to heal. It is not appropriate to stay up all night. After releasing another elemental treatment to himself, Linke puts up the Dominique crystal and falls down to sleep.
No words all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Linke ’s body has basically recovered, and he has received the elemental essence supplemented by elemental therapy, and has been fully rested. He feels that he is in a good spirit and that he seems to be a little bit fat.
After breakfast, Jacques, Lucy, and Glidan went out to continue processing the loot, and Link stayed alone in the mercenary yard.
He went to the attic in his room by himself. The floor of the attic was also made of stone and very strong. The roof was above. There was a glass skylight on the roof. The sun shined in and the attic was very bright.
Linke began to cast spells. He used enchanted magic: orthopedics, and cut out a large water tank on the stone floor. The water tank's mouth was directly facing the skylight on the roof. No, to be precise, almost Together, we couldn't see anything in the water tank from the attic.
Link then poured water into the water tank.
The water tank is very large, cylindrical, nearly one and a half meters high, and two meters in diameter. Linke filled it with four or five tons of water before it was almost full. Otherwise, he had specially strengthened the attic with orthopedics. The floor, this floor is estimated to be crushed.
After adding the water, Link throws the Domink crystal into the water tank, and then he starts the last step.
He climbed to the roof and approached the attic window, again using orthopedics on the window, completely connecting the skylight with the surrounding structure and becoming unable to open. This was to prevent someone from stealing his crystal silently.
Then, Link continued to use orthopedics to transform the structure of the light-transmitting crystal of the sunroof. After some complicated adjustments, the structure of this crystal has undergone huge changes. From the outside, everything is normal, but the inside is actually a Set of sophisticated light and shadow structures.
No matter what angle the sun enters, it will be focused by this precise crystal structure, and then transmitted through the dark Dominic crystal in the water tank.
Sunlight is the greatest radiance in the world. It can restrain all the dark breath. When the sun shines on the Dominique crystal, it can eliminate the dark breath diffused from the crystal at the first time, so that it will not be outside. Perception, it can also ensure that the concentration of dark air in the water tank is always at a very low level, which has the same effect as living water.
In order to be afraid of the lack of sunlight, Link also opened a large skylight in the attic with orthopedics to direct the light in it to the water tank. This guarantees that even on a cloudy day when the sunlight is not sufficient, Light can also provide sufficient purification.
As for the night, it doesn't matter, the dark power spilled from the dark Dominic crystals will be absorbed by the water first, until the water is saturated, and then it will start to overflow.
The night is obviously not enough to saturate the clear water, so the outside world will not feel any abnormal dark breath.
Today, the weather in Gwinter Forest is good, and the sun is very strong. Standing in the attic, Link felt the efficiency of purification carefully, and laughed: "It is estimated that after one month, I can harvest a pure Domink Crystal. "
Although it's been a little longer, it's safe and hidden from being noticed.
He left the attic. Before leaving, he directly lost the door with orthopedics. Looking at it from a distance, there was only one wall left.
Anyway, this attic is on the top of Link's room, and Yake and others won't come over. This way, the chance of crystal being discovered will be completely eliminated.
It's not that Link wants to guard against Yake and others, but something about the magician. It doesn't matter if they know it or not, so why bother if they know it?
It's noon when this is done.
Wait a while, and the three of Yake are back. They have sold the loot in the black market in Hegu Town, harvested 2,500 gold coins, and added an extra 200. At lunch, they all smiled. Cheeky.
Looking at their cheerful appearance, Link was also very happy.
After dinner, Link took out the letter he found in the syndicate's lair and said, "This is the correspondence between the black robe magician and his friend who attacked us in the Red Leaf Valley that day, and the letter said that this black robe magic The division is a dark elf called Philipdia, and his friends live in a place where the cliffs of wind howl. Do you know this place? "
A few people remembered it, then they all shook their heads.
But Yake said: "Some new faces have come to the town recently, basically mercenaries heading south from the north, but there are also a few bards who go south and north. Maybe they know this place. I will go in the afternoon. Inquire. "
"Well, okay." Link nodded, and then said, "I'm going to the East Valley Magic Academy to learn magic tomorrow. I shouldn't come out normally. If you have anything, just let Lucy write to me. Also, Yake, Gridan, you two are going to start learning to read. "
Of the three, Lucy knew the characters and had good arithmetic, so she could be the steward of the mercenary team.
"Okay." Jacques and Gridan responded bitterly.
"As for the gold coins, I will bring enough tuition and 100 gold coins to spend. The remaining 4,000 remain here."
"Master ..." Lucy disagreed.
"Let me finish." Link raised his hand and pressed down, stopping Lucy from saying, "I don't need to spend money at the East Valley Magic Academy for the time being. Now our power is already in River Valley Town. Very good, Yake is a powerful fighter at level 4, and there is also the relationship between the Anderson Knights. I think it is time to consider recruiting and forming a mercenary group. "
In this case, the three of them immediately refuted, forming a mercenary regiment has always been the dream of Yake and others. Now the conditions are indeed very mature.
