14. The Mystery of the Caster
Lin Feng barely passed the test. According to what this elf mage said, as long as he has a good magic circuit, he can become a mysterious spell caster.
"The magic circuit is a structure unique to extraordinary species. You humans don't have it, so you can only gain the ability to cast spells through this structure."
Do you want to put some weird things on your body again?
Lin Feng's scalp was numb and he asked: "Are there any risks?"
"There are quite a lot of risks. If you don't adapt, you will die. Improper use will also cause the body to collapse. The most important thing is, if you accidentally absorb those contaminated magic..."
The elf mage turned around, looked at him and said calmly: "Not only will you die, but you will also kill everyone around you."
"Sounds terrible."
"Yes, magic nowadays can no longer be used as freely as it used to be."
"So what was magic like in the past?"
"Before..." The elf woman was stunned.
After a long while, she said quietly: "The magic power in the past was very safe and could be easily controlled as long as the mental power was strong enough."
Combining the information obtained before, Lin Feng immediately grasped the key point, "Now that the magic power is contaminated and can no longer be used, so we can only install magic circuits in our own bodies to store safe magic power for use?"
The elf mage glanced at him and said, "Yes, little clever ghost."
"The upper limit of spells and the level of the mage actually also depend on this magic circuit?"
"Yes."
"Then...can I take a look at your magic circuit?"
Facing that innocent look, the elf mage who had always behaved calmly suddenly blushed slightly.
Then under Lin Feng's expectant gaze, her white and tender arms slowly stretched out, and dense lines like electronic circuits slowly lit up, spreading along the snow-white arms into the deep robe.
"For some people born with this structure, the magic circuit is like a private part. You can't tell others casually in the future."
Ah, is there still such a taboo?
"Sorry!" Lin Feng, who had been looking at others with curious eyes, immediately looked away and apologized sincerely.
"It's okay. My magic circuit has been modified and is no longer clean, so it doesn't hurt to show it to you."
Lin Feng: "???"
After hesitating for a long time, not knowing what to say, he carefully asked: "Does this still need to be modified?"
"Of course. If you still want to move forward on the path of magic, transformation is inevitable."
The female elf retracted her arms into her robe and said softly: "After all, the magic circuits you grow will not be arranged into the spell model you want, and...our human body is not as big as a Warcraft."
In other words, the caster will eventually acquire a whole body of magic circuits!?
After reacting, Lin Feng was dumbfounded and his scalp was numb from the shock of this terrible guess.
What's the difference between making your body like that and those modified people in the laboratory?
Is casting a spell in this day and age... already such a difficult thing?
Just when he was thinking about which part of his body to sacrifice to colonize the magic circuit, they returned to the hall.
"Aren't you taking me to colonize the magic circuit?"
The female elf turned around and looked at him funny.
"It costs a lot of money to install a magic circuit. I just checked your crystal card and there is not a dime in it."
Ah...you still have to pay for it yourself?
Judging from this tone, the amount of money that needs to be spent seems to be quite high, and you actually have to swipe your card to pay.
Crystal cards can only store magic crystals, and 1 magic crystal = 1,000 amethysts, which is 100,000 crystal coins. How could he have such a huge sum of money in his crystal card.
"That..."
"Now you have two choices."
The female elf clasped her hands behind her back, looked up at the lights on the ceiling and said, "You are an official alchemist, and you will have to install magic circuits sooner or later. Why don't you go back and work hard first, and come back later when you have money."
"Ah?" Lin Feng looked stupid again.
Sooner or later, alchemists will have to colonize magic circuits?
Why didn't he know this?
"Well, don't you know?" Sensing his doubts, the female elf complained, "Why is the Alchemy Association's science popularization work so sloppy?"
"Ahem!" She pursed her lips and coughed, and said seriously: "Well, let me tell you some super knowledge first.
All high-level alchemy products require magic power, not the magic power of the materials, but the magic power controlled by you, do you understand now?"
Oh, it turns out that only high-level alchemists have to install magic circuits, so that's okay.
He didn't know how many high-level professionals there were in the shelter, but as for high-level alchemists, there were only two digits registered in the association, and there were only a few dozen people in total. One could imagine how astonishing the loss rate of this deputy job was.
It might be even more dangerous than those professionals going on adventures.
"Well, I understand, what's the second option?"
"The second choice..." The female elf glanced at Lin Feng who was unwilling to give up.
"Become a mercenary under the name of the Magic Temple. We will allocate you equipment and teach you extraordinary knowledge in advance. After the training is completed, you will work for the temple. After you accumulate enough merit, you can equip the most basic magic circuits for free."
Mercenaries under the name of the Magic Temple!?
In other words, other professional halls will also have mercenaries under their own names?
It turns out that this is how this profession, like a handyman, found everywhere in the street, came about.
Lin Feng thought for a moment, raised his head and asked, "One last question."
"Um."
"How much does it cost to install the most basic magic circuit?"
The female elf looked at him with a half-smile, "It's not expensive. It's cheaper than the bottle of potion you wasted on Catwoman yesterday. It's only 50 magic crystals."
50...It's just magic crystal...5 million crystal coins, just ask for it!?
Lin Feng stared at her in shock, then realized what was happening and turned his head unnaturally.
What the hell is recorded on that crystal card? Can personal privacy be protected?
"Okay, I'll go back and think about it first."
The female elf smiled slightly, "Well, join a guild early and work hard so that you can spend more time with your family. Your sister is a high-level professional. She should also experience how much time she spends with you in a year. This kind of
The events that people face are unimaginably difficult for ordinary people, so they are under a lot of mental pressure. Stop arguing with your sister and be more considerate of others."
Even the previous owner’s quarrel with his sister and complaints from neighbors were recorded?
At this moment, Lin Feng wanted to break the crystal card and erase all the dark history that he didn't know how to answer.
"I know, I know."
Lin Feng covered his ears and left the Magic Temple as if running away.
At the front desk, another female elf on duty raised her head, looked at his leaving figure and snickered: "Did he really use the life potion to treat Catwoman? How could there be such a cute fool?"
