Chapter 490: I can’t control myself
The red-robed man had been in a bad mood recently. The main reason was that his opinions in the sage Council were getting less and less valued.
The other four sages seemed to be possessed as they supported the development of the weave in Nolan, but they seemed to have forgotten who its creator was.
Even the yellow-robed man, who stood on the side of the red-robed man, turned against him. This was a great blow to him.
This anger also affected the red-robed man’s assessment of the apprentices today.
In front of the red-robed man, the sixteen apprentices under him placed the inscribed stone in front of him. The red-robed man went to the first apprentice and picked up the red-colored inscribed stone to examine it.
“The mana content is too low. If I throw this thing out, it will only tickle others! It’s not qualified!”
The red-robed man threw the inscription stone back into the hands of the first apprentice, giving him a rating that was enough to make him despair.
The flame inscription system’s inscription stone had a sufficient market in the world. Its function was to ‘store magic’. Once it encountered a crisis situation, it would be completely smashed as an emergency measure, the magic of the inscription would be instantly released.
Therefore, this type of inscription stone was very popular among the merchants and explorers. However, it was extremely difficult to produce an inscription stone that had a strong destructive power and a quality that passed the test.
“It’s too unstable. If you hold this thing and shake it slightly, you probably won’t be able to see your arm anymore.”
The red-robed man directly crushed the inscription stone created by the second apprentice. The moment the inscription stone was crushed, it burst out with scorching magic power, but it was immediately calmed down by the red-robed man in his palm.
After the red-robed man finished examining this apprentice and gave him another unqualified evaluation, a spell caster in a red robe quickly ran into the red-robed man’s wizard tower.
“Gru, you’re Late!”The red-robed man glared at the apprentice whose face was flushed red. He seemed to have run all the way here, and could not even breathe when he spoke.
“There’s been an accident in the production of the inscription stone, mentor.”He immediately placed the inscription stone used for the assessment on the table and said, “But it’s still considered a success.”
The red-robed man suppressed his anger and picked up the inscription stone on the table.
The Apprentice in front of him was one of his sixteen apprentices who was relatively less talented. The red-robed man had already planned to give this guy an unqualified evaluation.
“A green flame core?”
The red-robed man looked at the inscription stone. The flame magic sealed in the inscription stone was the most common ‘Flame Spurt’, but the flame element burning inside was dark green.
“The Mana content is up to standard. Stability… Gru! What medium did you use to write the inscription when you made this inscription stone?”
The red-robed man instantly noticed the abnormality of the inscription stone and stared at the apprentice in front of him.
“This…”he hesitated for a moment and then whispered, “It’s the scale of the Sin Fiend.”
When he mentioned the word ‘sin demon’, he vaguely heard the astonished voices and discussions of the other apprentices.
Ever since beauty and the demon was released in Nolan, the understanding of the sin demon among Nolan’s spellcasters had taken a step forward.
However, no matter how elegant the demon prince performed by Zenas was, there was no doubt about the powerful combat strength of the sin demon.
“You entrusted Nolan’s mercenary group to get the scales? Where did they hunt the sin demons?”The red-clothed person immediately asked.
At the current stage, most of the alchemy materials used by alchemists came from Nolan’s alchemy market.
However, the materials available in the alchemy market were all of the most common first-grade materials, and highly accomplished alchemists would specifically entrust mercenary groups to go deep into some untrodden danger zones, they would hunt some dangerous monsters to obtain the alchemy materials on their bodies.
The combat ability of the sin fiend was already second only to that of a giant dragon, not to mention that there were no wild sin fiends around Nolan!
“I didn’t entrust a mercenary group, mentor… I bought it on the Mana Net,”he answered the red-clothed person truthfully.
“Magic Net? !”
The red-robed man heard this annoying term once again.
“Write a letter to the magic net, open the Sage Council, and also use the magic net to inform them. Now even alchemy materials can be collected using the magic net! ?”
The apprentices looked at the red-robed man’s indignant look and didn’t know what to say for a while. Meanwhile, the apprentice named Gru carefully took out a scale of the sin demon.
“Teacher, this is the scale of the sin fiend that I bought on the Devil Web,”he said.
The red-robed man took the scale and placed it in his hand again to examine it for a long time. The scale was only one index finger long.
Judging from the time, it should have been separated from its owner for a long time, but there was still a kind of dark green flame in the scale.
The fire of sin… it could burn the souls of any living creature directly. This was far more terrifying than ordinary flames.
“Its stability is actually higher than the bark of the evil fire tree?”The red-robed man couldn’t believe it as he tried to figure out these scales.
“Teacher, if you need more, I can buy some more.”
The Apprentice also knew that the red-robed man was very against things related to the weave. Since the red-robed man didn’t want to touch the weave, he could give these scales he bought on the weave to the red-robed man.
This was a perfect proposal in the eyes of outsiders, but the red-robed man did not appreciate it.
Did It mean that he would not use the magic net if he bought it with the help of the apprentice?
The red-robed man obviously knew that he was just deceiving himself!
Holding the scale of the sin devil, he made a choice between his love for alchemy and his face in the Sage Council.
“You’re all using the Weave?”
The red-clothed man’s gaze swept across the sixteen apprentices in front of him.
“Tell me the truth!”
All the apprentices nodded in unison and were prepared to accept the punishment.
However, the expected punishment of the red-clothed man’s anger did not come. Instead, it was replaced by the helpless sigh of the sage.
“Is this the ‘trend’that yellow-robed man is referring to?”The red-robed man made a compromise after a short moment of silence. “Gru, is the shop on the magic web that you are referring to in the Spellcaster Forum?”
“No, mentor… that is a separate interface called magic web shopping… there is a shop called ‘Alchemy Workshop of the Devil World’on it. Not only does it sell the scales of the sin demons, but also the crystals of the sin fire…”the apprentice continued when he saw his mentor asking about this matter. “But mentor, you have to go to the Nolan National Savings Office to open the account of the magic web savings office first, and then deposit the money into that account before you can buy things on it.”
“How troublesome.”
The red-robed man grumbled impatiently, and then went to the next apprentice.
“The test continues! Let me see the inscription stone you made!”
The test lasted less than half an hour, and nearly half of the apprentices were eliminated. The apprentice named Gru was lucky enough to pass the test.
Not long after the test ended, the figure of the man in red disappeared from the Mage Tower.
