Chapter 426: Innate Magic, Demon Star Tower Reconnaissance Mission
Chapter 426: Innate Magic, Demon Star Tower Reconnaissance Mission
Level 35, not bad.
Unfortunately, the levels of these half-blood monsters are still too low, generally only around level 20, so there is basically no experience to be gained. There are very few monsters above level 30, otherwise it is possible to level up three or five levels in one go in this wave.
This helped Daju gain a lot of experience and he is about to reach level 30.
Xiao Jie didn't have high expectations for Daju's subsequent advancement, mainly because as his own strength increased, Daju's combat effectiveness as a pet gradually couldn't keep up, and most of the time he could only be used as an auxiliary unit.
Just cast a wind call spell or resist damage for a short period of time.
As a result, there have been almost no outstanding performances in recent times.
The advancement of pets is the same as the advancement of players, and it also depends on the specific process of the upgrade.
Judging from Daju's current trend of just being a bystander and gaining experience, I'm afraid he will soon be able to gain the talent of an idle cute pet.
"So it's you." Xiao Yue Zhenren was obviously a little surprised when he saw Xiao Jie, "How did you learn the magic of shapeshifting? Could it be that you became a magician? You can actually transform into a dragon, you have really made some progress."
Xiao Jie responded respectfully, "Your guess is correct. That's right. Ever since the trip to Canglinzhou, I have been very interested in sorcery. And because I have practiced three volumes of heavenly books, I have also gained a lot of insights into the art of sorcery transformation. Therefore, I have studied hard and become a disciple of a great sorcerer. I have devoted myself to practice and have made some progress recently.
I heard that the Master was in trouble, so I came to help."
Xiao Jie didn't dare to reveal his identity as a demon refiner. Demon refiners refine the inner elixirs of demons, which are naturally difficult for demons to deal with.
Although the monsters in Canglin Province all consider themselves human, it is still better not to take risks.
In comparison, the profession of sorcerer is much safer. Sorcerers are taught by monsters, so most of them have friendly relations with monsters.
It's also much easier to pretend to be someone else.
Fortunately, the professions in this game are not known only to the NPCs you talk to, so you can conceal some of them.
Master Xiaoyue nodded, "You are quite chivalrous, and you came at the right time. Okay, I will accept your favor this time. If you need any help in the future, just come to me. If it is convenient for me to help, I can help you."
[System prompt: Master Xiaoyue's favorability towards you has increased by 5 points.]
It’s only 5 o’clock…
Xiao Jie thought that this was too stingy. He still had 10 points when he completed the bounty mission.
He thought quickly in his mind and realized that this time the help would not be of much help to Master Xiaoyue, otherwise it would have to be at least ten points.
It should be that Master Xiaoyue had a backup plan, but he didn't have the chance to use it because of my appearance.
But it’s okay, at least the other party made a promise.
I'll take this opportunity to ask about my destiny's magic.
When he was watching the battle in the sky before, he saw many spells that were suspected to be his own magic, and he liked them all very much.
"You are so generous. It's a coincidence. I really need a favor. I was too embarrassed to ask you for help. I didn't expect you to be so generous. If I didn't ask for help, I would seem hypocritical..."
Upon hearing this, Master Xiao Yue snorted coldly and rolled his eyes. He was obviously speechless about Xiao Jie's behavior of taking advantage of the situation. He said unhappily, "Go ahead. Since I made a promise, I will not break my promise."
Xiao Jie said respectfully: "I have been practicing magic recently and have made some progress, but my master said that he has nothing to teach me anymore, so he asked me to find those great demons to learn magic. I wondered where there would be as many demons as in Canglinzhou, so I came here..."
But the surrounding monster generals refused to accept this.
Zhu Erhao said, "Don't talk nonsense, kid. We don't have many monsters in Canglin Province."
Wu Junshi also said: "That's right, we are all human here. If you are looking for monsters, you have come to the wrong place."
Another unknown lieutenant Hayato said in a sharp voice: "If you want to find monsters, you should go to the deep mountains and old forests. There are none here."
Xiao Jie was speechless. These monsters were a bit too politically correct. Why were they pretending?
"Ah, yes, yes, we are all human beings, we are all human beings, it's OK to be a human being, it doesn't matter who you learn from."
Master Xiaoyue said, "It's not difficult for you to learn witchcraft. There is a school in Jumu City that specializes in teaching witchcraft. Most witchcraft masters go there to study. Of course, it costs money. If you want to go, I can write you a name card."
"I want to learn my own magic, I wonder if it is possible."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly turned unfriendly.
They all glared angrily.
Master Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh, "You are really brave enough to speak up, kid."
Xiao Jie pretended to be confused and asked, "But what's wrong with you, kid?"
"It's not just rude, it's simply asking for too much. Don't you really know the ins and outs of this? The innate magic is the unique skill of every tribe and family. It is the basis of their livelihood and will never be easily passed on to others. Even if I want to learn it, it is not that easy.
Moreover, the innate magic is derived from the nature and instinct of each race, and it cannot be learned without the corresponding racial talent."
Speaking of this, Master Xiaoyue tilted his head and looked at Xiao Jie thoughtfully.
"However, since you can master the 'Art of Walking on a Dragon', you must have had some kind of adventure and have something to rely on. But I still cannot agree to let you learn your own magic. Even though I am the governor of a state, I cannot bully others by taking advantage of my power and force soldiers to hand over their best skills.
Maybe you can ask them who is willing to teach you. If they are willing, I can't interfere."
Xiao Jie immediately looked at the crowd, but they all turned their heads away, not wanting to pay any attention to him.
Xiao Jie felt somewhat helpless, but this was actually understandable. As the saying goes, teaching a disciple a lesson will only starve the master to death, not to mention the ability to make a living through one's own magic.
This is a bit troublesome. I thought it was too simple before.
But there are other ways. If all else fails, you can let the big orange beast go and catch another monster as a pet and let it learn from your pet.
But after all, I have had Big Orange for so long, and it is a top-quality pet with fourth-level advanced enhancements. I really can’t bear to let it go.
Moreover, if a monster is too strong, they cannot catch it by themselves, and if one is too weak, the magic they can teach will not be very powerful, which is also a problem.
While thinking.
Master Xiaoyue looked at the fog in the distance and suddenly smiled.
“But it’s not completely impossible. Now is a time of crisis for the world. I already know about Long Wushang’s uprising, and I also know about the developments at the Soul-Calming Pass. Now there’s also some commotion at the Monster Star Tower. Life is really difficult.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary things need to be done. If you can accomplish great feats, I can teach you even my own magic. If you can do me a favor, I will sacrifice my reputation and force them to teach you."
Xiao Jie was stunned. It was mentioned before that it was so difficult, how come it suddenly became - this mission might be a bit dangerous.
"If you have any instructions, please speak up."
"Haha, the boy is really smart. Look to the south."
Xiao Jie looked towards the south of the Great Wall, but all he saw was endless scarlet fog that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The entire area south of the Great Wall seemed to be shrouded in this strange fog. "What's going on with this fog?"
"These mists were summoned by the monsters of the Monster Star Tower. In the past few days, the Monster Star Tower has suddenly attacked the city like crazy, but all they sent out are cannon fodder, and there are few real elite troops. If I'm not mistaken, they must be plotting something.
And this fog is their means of covering their tracks.
In order to find out what they are doing, I have sent several teams of Tianyu Army to investigate during this period, but unfortunately there is no news.
If you can go to the Demon Star Tower, find out the enemy's movements, and send the specific information back to me, I will let them teach you their own magic, how about it?
System prompt: Trigger the task [Investigate the Demon Star Tower], go to the Demon Star Tower to investigate what happened there.
Mission reward: 1 innate magic.
A dialog box popped up immediately.
Option 1: Such a small matter is not worth mentioning. Just wait for my good news. I will go to the Monster Star Tower to find out the truth. (Accept the task).
Option 2: This is too difficult. I am too weak. To avoid ruining your plans, please seek help from someone else. (Refuse the mission).
Option 3: This matter is of great importance, and I need to study it carefully before making a decision (to understand the intelligence).
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was indeed dangerous, the Demon Star Tower was the headquarters of the monster forces.
Naturally, he couldn't just take on this kind of task casually, so he decisively chose the third option.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to study it carefully before making a decision. May I ask a few questions?"
"Just ask."
"I wonder how strong the monsters in this Monster Star Tower are. How many monsters like the one that led the monster army just now are there in the Monster Star Tower?"
Master Xiaoyue said, "Don't worry. There won't be more than ten people like the one just now."
As he spoke, he began to introduce to Xiao Jie the monster composition of the Demon Star Tower.
At the bottom of the Demon Star Tower are all kinds of mixed-blood monsters, which are the products of random crossbreeding of various monsters. Except for a few that can acquire special abilities, most of them are sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Their combat effectiveness is uneven and generally low.
Some of them have no fighting power at all, and the worst ones can't even move, and can only become food for other monsters.
The more powerful ones are the derivatives of monsters. These monsters are often cloned in large numbers from a successful template. Of course, the monsters call it the derivative technique. Renmianzhe had used this kind of magic in the past.
Because these monster derivatives are cloned in batches, they have the same biological characteristics. Therefore, they exist in the Monster Star Tower in the form of biological tribes. Each tribe is a force, and because their models are all monsters with strong characteristics, the monster derivatives often have advantages in certain aspects. According to their biological characteristics, they have various job uses.
They are considered the regular army of the Demon Star Tower.
A little more powerful are the evolved monsters. These evolved monsters are often selected from mixed-blood monsters. In the process of hybridization, some individuals with stronger abilities will always be born. These individuals will also be strengthened by the blood of the monster star and become evolved bodies.
The evolved bodies have strong combat capabilities and strange abilities, and are often assigned some special tasks. For example, the messenger of the Demon Star Tower is basically held by the demon evolved bodies.
The most powerful ones are the demon masters. They often have extremely long lifespans, living for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Some of them were already powerful demons before the arrival of the demon star.
After being strengthened by the blood of the demon star, they mastered a special technique that allows them to graft the limbs and organs of other demons onto their own bodies, thereby gaining endless demonic abilities.
Coupled with thousands of years of continuous practice, not only is his body extremely strong, but he can also use a variety of powerful magic.
It can be said that each of them is an absolute strong one.
A demon master can create a large number of demon offspring based on himself, so each demon master has enormous power.
At the same time, they will use the power of the demon star blood in their bodies to enslave other demons.
The core of the entire Demon Star Tower is the ruling class composed of several upper-level demon masters.
Xiao Jie thought about it in his mind and thought that as long as he didn't encounter the evil master, he would probably be fine.
Even if it is an evolved monster, with his own strength, it won't be a big problem.
If it really doesn't work, you can use the light escape talisman to escape.
It takes three seconds to cast the Light Escape Talisman, but the Shadow of Disappearance can make you invincible for five seconds. In other words, as long as you want to run, with the Shadow of Disappearance + the Light Escape Talisman, basically no one can stop you.
This job can be done.
However, the reward for a life-originated magic is still too little.
"I'll take the job, but how many of these innate magic can I learn? Can I learn them freely?"
The Immortal Xiao Yue shook his head and said, "How can such a good thing happen in the world? After all, this innate magic is the foundation of every race's survival. Even if I force you to learn one or two, it is already the limit."
"One or two books are too few. Ten or eight books will be enough."
"Ten, eight, eight... Don't be ridiculous, how about two?"
"Then how about the five gates? The Immortal also said that the world is in danger now, and extraordinary times call for extraordinary things! I am risking my life."
"Three doors, no more."
"make a deal."
[System prompt: Accept the mission [Investigate the Demon Star Tower].
Mission Reward: 3 Innate Magical Arts. 】
There are three innate magic arts, and you can choose any of them. This reward is definitely generous enough. Although various magic skills can be purchased in the auction house, they are basically universal magic arts.
Innate magic like this can basically not be used even if it has transformed, unless it is a monster that has transformed.
This deal can definitely be done. Xiao Jie glanced at the various demon tribes around him and started to think about which magic he should learn.
However, if you want to get the reward, you still have to complete the task first.
The requirement of this mission is to find out what conspiracy the Demon Star Tower is carrying out, which means that one must enter the Demon Star Tower to conduct reconnaissance, which is not easy.
And since the dragon transformation has already been used once today, forget about fighting. You must find a way to sneak in.
Fortunately, I still have the Phantom Spirit Pearl in my hand. As long as I sneak into the vicinity of the Demon Star Tower and transform myself into a monster, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Master, just wait for my good news. I will go to the Monster Star Tower to find out the truth."
As Xiao Jie spoke, his figure flashed—the goshawk transformed!
In an instant, he turned into an eagle and flew into the sky.
With a flap of its wings, it flew towards the thick fog south of the Great Wall.
