Duolai was stunned. It was going to snow again?
But then he put the thought aside, closed his eyes, calmed himself, and began to draw the magic pattern.
This time his writing went smoothly, his mental energy flowed along the tip of the pen into the animal skin, and it became a little more interesting. After drawing a magic pattern, he found fewer problems than before, but it was still unsuccessful. The magic pattern did not light up, and he failed.
Dolet was not discouraged, but continued to paint.
In this way, three days passed quickly.
The world outside was exactly as Bal had described. Starting from the second day, heavy snow began to fall outside. The snow from last time had not yet melted, and this time it started again. A thick layer of snow quickly accumulated on the ground.
The snow falls on the ground, making a little subtle sound, which is very pleasant to the ears.
Dolai's first successful magic pattern was also on the third day. He finally mastered the trick and succeeded in one go.
However, if he wants to isolate the magic fluctuations, one alone will not be enough, he needs at least five, which should be attached to the four sides of the house and the roof respectively, so that ordinary people and low-level professionals will not be able to feel it. If he wants to prevent the advanced professionals from feeling it, he still needs to work hard to draw the second-level energy-isolating magic pattern as soon as possible.
But no matter what, it was finally successful, and it’s a good start.
With the first finished product, the second one was not far away. Dolay quickly drew the second, third, fourth, and even the fifth.
But by this time, the paint was gone.
With these five energy fluctuation isolating magic patterns, Duolai can experiment with witchcraft in the room without any worries and no longer have to go to the mountains.
For just a Burning Hand, he still has a lot of ideas to come up with, such as changing the spell nodes of the Burning Hand, increasing the power of the Burning Hand, and so on. There are many things to do.
In addition, he also has to study other magic, such as the Mage's Hand, to prepare for materials science. Lily can do alchemy herself, and Dolai thinks he should be able to do it too.
Of course, what is restricting him at present is not knowledge or witchcraft, but magic crystals. As the original carrier of energy, without magic crystals, he, a high-level wizard apprentice, can do nothing.
The energy fluctuation isolating magic pattern drawn on the animal skin, which looks like an extra layer of pattern on the animal skin. It is not very eye-catching. It consumes the magic power in the pigment and blocks the transmission of energy fluctuations.
Once activated, it can last for a long time. Of course, the longest time will not exceed twenty days. It must be replaced when the magic power inside is used up.
This thing is actually a consumable.
Dolai did not use it directly, but put it aside and began to prepare the second-level mental power potion. This thing would use magic crystals. So far, he had only sold it to Lily and had never used it himself. He did not know how effective it was. He was not in a hurry to improve his mental power now, so he was reluctant to use it.
One pound of magic crystal residue can be used to refine half a pound of pigment, can be used to refine ten sets of materials for the Burning Hands spell, and can also be used to refine ten bottles of second-level mental power potions.
After counting all these things, the magic crystals on hand were just used up again, and it was impossible to try other things.
He still had to go to the city, sell the mental potion, and go to the black market to use gold coins to buy enough magic crystals.
Duolai breathed a sigh of relief. The magic pattern issue was resolved, and now he had to do other things. These things had to be done one by one, slowly.
After preparing the mental potion, the heavy snow outside had stopped and the sky was getting brighter.
When I was in the city, there were always people clearing snow in the mine, and I could work every day, so I didn’t think much of it. But now that I’m in the village, when it snows, I can’t do anything, and I feel a lot more relaxed.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and even the townspeople did not come out to practice boxing and swordplay.
Time soon came to mid-December, and as agreed, Dole needed to go into the city.
He didn't call anyone else. He took Bal with him, said something to Victor, and left the town.
Victor did not agree at first, but Dole was determined, and he had no choice but to watch Dole leave at the entrance of the village. Soon, he turned into a black dot in the white world and disappeared on the road.
Victor looked at Dole and always felt that this guy was a little mysterious. He was a rough man, and although he thought a lot sometimes, he didn't think much about Dole at all. As long as he was still here, the ordinary villagers in the town could be guaranteed to stay sick but not die. This was the key point.
No matter who he was, at least he had never harmed anyone.
He once suspected that this was a wizard, but Dole's room was never locked and anyone could go in and see. Connie went there to deliver meals every day and found nothing unusual.
If there is anything abnormal, it is that the things he refines seem very advanced and strange. He can always make some incredible medicines that are far beyond the scope of ordinary medicines.
Thinking of this, he recalled the notice issued in the city a few months ago to collect possible evidence of the existence of wizards.
"Who cares? As long as they're good to us, that's fine." They knew about the dark terror of wizards, but there were also good wizards, weren't there?
…
Dolai returned to the city and first went to Lao Mi to trade 20 primary mental power potions. This time he only sold the potions and collected money without taking anything.
Although Lao Mi was surprised, he didn't say anything.
Next was Lily. She exchanged five level-two mental potions for the same amount of magic crystal residue as last time, about one and a half pounds. Lily compensated for the rest with gold coins.
It was obvious that Lily was also in financial difficulty, and the gold coins she gave were not many.
Dolai harvested more than 50 gold coins, plus the ones left over from last time, the number of gold coins he had now reached 80.
For ordinary people, this is definitely a huge sum of money, but for a wizard, 80 gold coins can only buy a little bit of stuff. A normal magic crystal, even one unit, costs about 50 gold coins, and the residue also costs 10 gold coins per pound, not to mention the finished wizard tools, which are even more valuable.
Lily told him that he had accepted a mission to assassinate the deputy leader of an underground organization in Duomeng City and wanted to invite Dolai.
Dole refused. It was not the time for him to kill people everywhere. He had the skills, so why should he fight and kill?
In fact, he was also wondering, Lily herself had a foundation in alchemy, why did she like to engage in assassination? He really didn't understand.
After the two separated, Dolai left the city before the city gate closed and entered the vast world.
The black market is not a fixed place. It has several locations where transactions are carried out in rotation once a month.
Dolai knew where these places were and where the transactions would take place this month, so he planned to go and take a look. Therefore, he specially asked Bal to be his bodyguard this time.
When it comes to cheating, no one is more perverted than Baal. Only by calling Baal can one ensure that everything is foolproof. However, there are times when Baal will test him and he may not take action. Therefore, Dolai brought a lot of things with him, including various poisons, hallucinogenic potions with and without additives, a crossbow, a sword, more than ten portions of Burning Hand materials, and animal skins that can isolate energy fluctuations. Basically, he carried everything he could carry with him to prevent any accidents.
The two gradually walked into the snowstorm, and soon, they turned into the mountains. That's right, the place for the transaction was in the mountains, in an unknown mountain.
