"Hey, you haven't answered what I just said," Imina's amber pupils widened slightly.
Imina quickened her pace to catch up with Minori, who was already walking ahead. Her narrow eyes glanced at Minori's profile, a figure who seemed gentle and blended into the lively festive atmosphere.
For some reason!
Imina always felt that the man in front of her was inscrutable. Although he didn't seem very old, he seemed to have an invisible barrier between him and everyone else.
"What exactly do you want to do, Minroi?" Imina pursed her lips and suddenly spoke softly.
"What?"
Seemingly because of the overly noisy clamor around them, Minori didn't hear Imina's question clearly. He turned his head and asked with a puzzled expression.
Didn't really hear?
Obviously not. They weren't ordinary people.
"It's nothing." Imina opened her mouth, then said lightly.
They didn't walk far.
Minori paused and stopped in front of a stall displaying various brightly colored ornaments.
Imina was a little puzzled and looked at the items on the stall. Most of them were women's accessories and their value wasn't high.
"How much is this hair tie?"
Minori looked at the stall owner and pointed to a black, circular hair tie with gold thread decorations in the items.
"Two silver coins." The stall owner raised his head, looked at Minori and Imina, his eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke.
Hearing this price.
Imina frowned. This hair tie was obviously not worth the money, but what made her even more curious was what he was going to do with a gift-like hair tie.
Minori nodded without haggling, took out two silver coins from his pocket and handed them over.
The boss's eyes froze, and his face was immediately filled with a smile. He quickly took out an exquisite gift box from the side and put the hair tie inside.
Minori took the gift box, reopened it, and took the hair tie in his hand. A magical light flashed in his palm.
"Magic Imprint."
After releasing the magic.
Minori put the hair tie back in the gift box and handed it to Imina beside him.
"Who buys gifts for people in front of others?" Imina was stunned, but her eyes lit up, and she took the gift box without hesitation.
"It's not for you, help me give it to Leinas." Minori said calmly, "There is my remaining magic on it. I have already cast it on you before."
Imina's face darkened: "Then what about my gift?"
Obviously, Imina didn't care about the magic.
"This is for you."
Minori raised his hand and with a flip of his palm, he took out a wine pot with a cork from the item box as if by magic:
"This is wine brewed using dwarven technology. Consider it my previous accidental gain."
He put the Lizardmen's treasure, the "Large Wine Pot," among the dwarves in the lava area and let them drink it.
After drinking for a long time, these dwarves felt that the alcohol content was too low, so they used dwarven brewing technology to purify it.
"Who gives a girl a wine pot!"
Imina looked at the wine pot handed over, her amber eyes moved, while complaining, she quickly took the wine pot in her hand.
The pointed ears hidden in the hood were a little red at the moment.
Her biggest hobby was drinking, but Minori shouldn't know about this, because she had never drunk in front of him.
After all, her drinking habits were too bad. When she was in the imperial capital, she often argued with others because of drinking, and even did a lot of things that Imina found embarrassing.
This pot of wine may not be of high value, but it was obviously prepared with care.
Imina carefully peeked at Minori, held the wine pot in her hand tighter, and said as if she didn't care: "Considering you gave me a gift, I still have good news to tell you."
"Then let's go."
Minori paused and looked directly at Imina.
"Um, shouldn't we notify them?" Imina didn't dare to look directly into the black eyes, subconsciously.
"With Verdant here, there is no need to worry about safety." Minori turned his head, glanced at Enri and the Verdant Witch who were having fun in the crowd, and said softly.
The figures of the two quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Where is Master? Why can't I see him? He was clearly behind us just now."
Enri realized belatedly, turned her head to look for Minori's figure, and found that she couldn't find him no matter what.
"Master has his own things to do." The Verdant Witch said coldly.
"Oh."
Enri was a little lost, but soon saw the crowd gathering in the distance, and her eyes lit up: "Miss Verdant, look there."
While speaking.
Enri happily took the hand of the Verdant Witch and rushed forward. Throughout the whole process, the Verdant Witch rarely did not resist.
It seemed that Enri had a natural ability to make people feel close to her.
Outside the royal capital.
In a manor controlled by "Eight Fingers · Security Department".
Mages dressed as magic casters were releasing magic below, showing off their abilities.
Top floor of the manor.
Minori and Imina stood by the window, watching the scene below.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Imina looked expectantly at Minori, who was thinking beside her.
At this moment.
Minori was looking at the prompt information flashing one by one on the "Attribute Panel", consuming skill points to master.
Magic System: [Illusionist]·"Feign Death" (Tier 3): Creates an illusion that makes the opponent think they have killed the caster.
[Court Mage]·"Hot Spring" (Tier 3): Life magic creates a hot spring that can be used to soak in to relieve fatigue.
Believer: [Shrine Maiden]·"Dispel" (Tier 3): Dispels summons, depending on the levels, resistances, and skills of both sides.
[Priest]·"Sunlight" (Tier 3):
Creates a blinding light that causes blindness. And causes certain damage to undead creatures.
[Beast Speaker]·"Animal Communication"
(Tier 3): Can communicate with wild animals.
'Skill Points: 66→61'
...
Minori finally selected some valuable skills from the many magic casters below to obtain basic professions.
"The consumption of five skill points." Minori felt a little regretful.
He had not massively acquired some basic professions because of the preciousness of skill points, but now he had to use them.
Because the number of high-level professions was too small.
As expected.
The number of magic casters who mastered the "Magic System" and "Belief System" was the largest, so it was easy to satisfy these two systems.
However!
Among the magic casters Imina found, there was not a single magic caster of the "Mental System" and "Other Systems".
Minori knew from the beginning that the number of magic casters who mastered these two magic systems was small, but he did not expect it to be so small.
Now, his four major magic systems:
...
Magic System: Alchemist, Alchemist, Magician, Necromancer, Warlock, Illusionist, Court Mage.
Believer: Priestess, Priest, Forest Priest, Priest, Shrine Maiden, Priest, Beast Speaker
Mental System: Wizard, Witch
Other Systems: Shaman, Summoner
...
The "Magic System" and "Believer" can already use the tenth-tier magic, and it is no longer meaningful to acquire the basic professions of these two systems.
Unless there is a basic profession of great value.
Because above that is the realm of super-level magic, which has nothing to do with level magic anymore, and also has the prerequisite that the player level must reach level 70.
Because after the player reaches level 70, they can learn a super-level magic for each level they increase. In the game, the number of transcendent magics that players can master is only 30.
"Stop it."
Minori withdrew his gaze from the magic casters below and said softly.
"Yes." Imina nodded, poked half of her head out of the window, and gestured in a direction in the courtyard below.
"Didn't find the magic chanter you wanted?" Imina could see that Minori was not satisfied.
"Not enough."
Minori shook his head, wanted to continue speaking, but suddenly hesitated.
In the other world, the classification of different magic caster systems is not so clear, not to mention that Imina, who is not a magic caster, may not know what is a "Mental System" and what is a "Other System" magic casting.
"What I need are casters who possess some weird magical abilities, different from normal magic casters."
After briefly organizing his words, Minori continued.
Imina's eyes showed a sudden realization: "I understand, it is currently the festival day, and there may be casters that lord need among the many magic casters who have rushed from all over the country."
"Thank you, Imina."
Minori smiled and said, but he did not hold the expectation of being able to easily gather them together.
The "Mental System" and "Other Systems" are each short of five basic professions. It is not a simple matter to gather them together.
In fact, there is another way to compress the number of basic professions.
That is to raise [Genius] to the full level of 15Lv, so that you can reduce the acquisition of profession quantity.
However!
Compared to the consumption of skill points, five levels are obviously more precious.
"The warehouses in the six major noble regions are being purchased, several locations have already been bought, and some foods such as rotten grains are being prepared, which will take some time."
Imina continued to report the second thing Minori had ordered.
"Um." Minori.
He also knew that this matter would be more complicated and time-consuming, and could not be completed in just ten days or so.
Imina smiled on her face: "Only three demihuman slaves with the ability of "wild transformation" have been bought. I don't know if it is enough."
Minori paused and looked at Imina dumbfounded: "I really want to praise you for having the demeanor of a worker."
"Stop it."
Imina rolled her eyes, but the corner of her mouth was slightly raised.
This is also the benefit of using the power of "Eight Fingers", which can easily do many things that were difficult to do with personal strength before, and were troublesome.
The location of the three demihuman slaves is in a secret warehouse in the manor.
The first thing that came into view.
There were three two-meter-high metal cages, and inside were three figures similar to humans, but skinny.
These three demihumans looked like apes, with long ears and gray-brown hair all over their bodies, full of wildness.
Seeing the appearance of Minori and Imina, these three demihumans were obviously weak, but they still waved their arms and beat the iron cage, making a muffled "dong dong" sound.
"They look quite like monkeys."
This was the first time Minori had seen such a demihuman race.
"They are Bugbears, which are considered to be a close relative of goblins. They are a race with low intelligence and relatively barbaric. These three are rare Bugbears in the entire race who possess the ability of magic chanting."
"According to the information obtained from the smuggling department and the slave department of "Eight Fingers", it is said that they were captured from a demihuman tribe destroyed by the Slane Theocracy."
"Compared to ordinary strong Bugbears who can be used as labor, these three are smarter, but perhaps because of the casters, they are weak and unable to engage in physical activities."
Imina pointed to the three Bugbears in the cage and introduced:
"They are smarter than ordinary Bugbears and more difficult to tame, which has led to them not being sold all the time. It can be regarded as a lucky find."
Deep in the Great Wetland.
In the secret forest where the Twin Witches were originally located.
Minori threw the three weak Bugbears, covered with whip marks and various wounds, on the ground.
This time he did not go to the lava area, because the environment there was not suitable for the next experiment, and there were various monsters in the secret forest, which could be directly used as materials.
A touch of red light rose from the east.
Minori raised his head, saw the sun that had already emerged from the east, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "There are still three years!"
"Treat Serious Injury"!
Minori raised his wrist and released a healing magic on one of the Bugbears.
Pure white healing light was released.
The wounds on the Bugbear's body quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ooh!"
The first thing the Bugbear did when it regained consciousness was to show its sharp teeth and look fiercely at Minori, then turned around and prepared to escape.
"Charm."
Minori released the magic calmly.
The Bugbear paused, its eyes instantly became dull, and it shook its arms and stood obediently in place.
"This magic ritual is much more complicated, but the materials are ready, so it depends on the effect next."
Minori took out the magic ritual obtained from the Forest Gnome from the item box, carefully scanned the ritual content that he had memorized, and made sure that no details were missed.
This magic ritual allows the Forest Gnome to obtain the ability to transform into a monster that exceeds its own size limit, while abandoning the complete ability of "Wild Transformation".
For example, that Forest Gnome named Dugan transformed into a petrified lizard that was more powerful in both size and strength through this magic ritual.
Although he had seen a successful case.
Minori still wanted to experiment and confirm to observe the specific situation of this ritual.
During this period of time, he had been having Enri and the Twin Witches buy a large number of alchemical materials, which was also for this preparation.
According to the steps of the magic ritual.
Minori meticulously completed the entire ritual arrangement, finally breathing a slight sigh of relief.
