Chapter 183: Insect Tamer Gala
Chapter 183: Insect Tamer Gala
In the enchantment workshop, Ivan handed over the other black magic wind array platforms to another wizard, who was also from Lydia's family. The previous array platforms were all taken over by this wizard Mo Ling.
"Wizard Ivan, there is an order from above. From now on, each formation will cost 300 credits."
"Again, lower the price? Why?"
Hearing her words, the look in Ivan's eyes became much colder.
This is something that increases the probability of promotion. When he first approached the Rich family where Orrick was, the other party showed him a list. If he failed to be promoted, he would have to make medicine and enchant magic for the Rich family for twenty years. This was just one of the requirements.
This is enough to show how expensive promotion resources are.
The highest transaction he made with the three major families was 800 credits per set, but now it has dropped to 300 credits, which is the price of a third-grade mental power potion recipe of average quality. He has never seen such a drastic price cut.
"The quality of the array you made is average, which is not conducive to long-distance transportation. In addition, we have sold a large number of them, and there are not as many people who want to buy them as before, so we can only lower the price." Mo Ling explained expressionlessly.
"Where is the advanced enchantment knowledge I applied for earlier?"
"You don't meet the requirements. Wait until you've been a wizard for thirty years before applying again."
"Okay, I got it. Tell me that if the price drops again, I think there will be no profit to speak of, and there is no need for us to continue the transaction."
The two wizards stared at each other for a while, and Ivan left in anger.
"Next time? I won't be able to use you if there's a next time." Mo Ling didn't take his last warning to heart.
After walking a distance from the enchanting workshop, Ivan's face quickly regained its calmness. He was just pretending. He didn't take the Black Magic Wind Beam Array, which was only a second-generation product, that seriously.
However, advanced enchantment knowledge was indeed what he desired, as it contained the re-sealing runes he wanted. Unfortunately, the people above him had been unwilling to give in, and had only said some ambiguous words when negotiating the terms.
As it turned out, the other party never thought about fulfilling those words.
"With such a bad attitude, it seems that the solution is about to be cracked."
After coming out of the enchanting workshop, Ivan went to the trading area and obtained a large amount of raw materials through exchange or purchase.
He needs to prepare some things, as he will be going to a special place soon to participate in an exploration activity related to insect controllers.
……
Half a month passed.
Ivan and Randall left the Mona Ant Colony Hut and rushed to the plateau west of the Moonclamp Peninsula.
The Yueqian Peninsula is vast and has a diverse geographical environment. Looking at the entire peninsula, the terrain rises all the way from east to west.
To the east is a low-lying area close to the ocean, in the middle is an undulating hilly area, to the west is a plateau area with a higher altitude, and further west is the western barrier of the Yueqian Peninsula - Shouwang Yunya.
The area outside of Watch Cloud Cliff does not belong to Moon Clamp Peninsula.
Thirteen regular wizard academies are distributed on the peninsula. There is the Sparkling Vortex Academy Alliance in the east, the Half Moon Academy Alliance in the middle, and the Highland Academy Alliance on the western plateau. The Highland Alliance includes five wizard academies.
This time, the master and disciple's goal is the higher plateau, which is also the largest area among the three areas and relatively more chaotic.
The two of them hurried and it took them ten days to reach their destination.
"Let's go to Jiangyun City first. Maybe my friends have already arrived. This is a grand gathering for us insect controllers. There is no way they wouldn't show up." Randall brought Ivan to a city, ready to go in and inquire about the news.
Jiangyun City, which belongs to the "Ancient Tree Spine" Academy of the Highland Alliance, is located on the edge of the territory.
As far as Ivan knew, Ancient Tree Ridge Academy was the most mysterious of the 13 academies, and their wizards least liked to walk around outside, which also led to some wandering wizards liking to come to Ancient Tree Ridge's territory.
This Jiangyun City is a little special. There is a strange secret realm nearby that opens automatically every ten years, attracting a large number of insect controllers.
Randall said that the royal jelly he had given before was found in the secret realm. Ivan immediately became interested, and they came to Jiangyun City together.
"Look, the cloud has fallen to the ground."
Feng Moth and Xiang Die also came, and it was Feng Moth who was shouting in Ivan's ear.
At this time, the wind moth was only two fingers long, and looked like a big moth, flying closely beside Ivan. On the other side was the fragrant butterfly, which was about the same size.
The reason why the two insects were able to reduce their size was due to the 'Ode to Spring and Summer'. The first level of this meditation method contained a spell called 'Blood Transformation', which was about changing body size.
When Ivan was exploring 'Blood Transfiguration', he recorded some research notes on shrinking the body. Xiangdie read them and deduced a spell suitable for herself, and then she spent a long time teaching Fengmoth.
If the two insects could not shrink in size, Ivan would definitely not bring them here.
"It's normal. Clouds often suddenly fall to the ground nearby, so it's named 'falling clouds'." Randall explained without waiting for Ivan to say anything.
"So that's how it is. Then what's special about these clouds?" Xiangdie also asked.
"No, it's just an ordinary cloud, pulled to the ground by the power bursting out from the earth. You are not greedy just by looking at it, right? It has no taste." Randall said patiently.
"Hmph! That's not the case." Xiangdie was unhappy when she heard it.
"Xiangdie, don't be impolite to Wizard Randall." Ivan turned around and reminded.
"Who told him to say Xiangdie is greedy? I'm not greedy." Xiangdie explained aggrievedly. "I just want to study it. Since it's just an ordinary cloud, forget it."
"Haha, Ivan, don't be too strict with them." Randall smiled and spoke for the fragrant butterfly. He loved the two insects that had become intelligent creatures no less than he loved the queen silkworm.
"Teacher, you will spoil them by doing this." Ivan looked at him speechlessly. He didn't know what kind of magic this teacher had that could always make others forget his wizard's majesty.
Randall smiled nonchalantly.
"By the way, mentor, what do you mean by the power that bursts out from the earth?" Ivan couldn't help but feel moved when he thought of what he had just said.
"I don't know, but everyone says so. If you are interested, you can go and find out for yourself." Randall shook his head. He dared not speak carelessly about things he had not studied, so as not to mislead his disciples.
After hearing this, Ivan had no choice but to give up.
The two came to Jiangyun City and came to the street where wizards appeared. They found that there were many more wizards than expected. The two looked at each other and felt that something was strange.
Not only in the Mona Ant Farm, but also in the entire Yueqian Peninsula, insect controller is a niche profession.
Because for formal wizards, the combat power brought by the swarm of insects is always limited. It is better to learn a few more spells than to spend time and effort to cultivate a large group of insects.
It is impossible for so many insect-controlling wizards to appear at once in such a short period of time.
