Chapter 1656 Necromancers, are you trying to piss me off? !
"Master Nordmark is recruiting experimenters! Recruiting experimenters!"
"Third-level to fourth-level spellcasters! Third-level to fourth-level spellcasters! Use the memory weaving technique to forcibly infuse the spell model!"
"The subject needs to cooperate with the test! There is a healer to take care of it! The danger is very high, life and death are at your own risk!"
Baka the Tern flapped its wings and pierced the sky.Fly from one settlement to another, from one dragon territory to another dragon territory...
The half-step legendary tern can fly over the territory of an adult dragon in one day, and can fly around tens of thousands of square kilometers in ten days, and notify all the intelligent tribes in ten or eight territories!
"Can we recruit experimenters in this way?"
Gretel asked in a low voice, very suspicious.Life and death are conceited!The danger is very high!One bad one will die!
And it's still unpaid!In other words, the only reward is the possibility of learning a new spell...
"Don't worry, you will definitely be recruited." Jinlong Thorngraf gave him a look of "you simply don't know the sufferings of the world":
"Do you know what they will fight for a chance to become dragon warriors? A tribe will gather all the warriors, go into the mountains to fight, hunt the strongest monsters, to fight for a chance to advance, let us fancy;
If several tribes can only have one chance, they will even attack each other and kill the strongest warriors of the other side in one wave to ensure that this opportunity falls to their own tribe;
The barbarians will marry their most beautiful girls to the cloud giants, and the gnomes will offer their most precious treasures to the lizardmen..."
"Isn't it forbidden to attack each other?"
Gretel blurted out.Jinlong shrugged:
"Yeah, these guys are all our property, and in theory they are not allowed to attack each other-in theory. But you know, there is always a time when you can't see it..."
Gretel silently shut up.He turned his head to look outside the mage tower, the vast and barren land, and sighed:
"Ugh……"
The creatures on this land live too hard...
Dragon Island is at the northernmost point of the New World. It is cold and barren, and it snows five or six months a year.Only the hardiest plants grow, summer rushes to sprout, grow leaves, bloom, struggle to absorb nutrients, store up for the long winter...
Ground squirrels have to dig deep burrows in order to store a little food;
Reindeer have to dig through the thick snow to eat the grass sprouts and moss under the snow;
Wolves and bears have to travel ten kilometers, tens of kilometers, to find enough food to feed their hungers and raise their cubs...
And human beings, or intelligent creatures, naturally cannot live well in such a land.They ran, they hunted, they dug up the freshly thawed soil, and planted food carefully.
One mu of land, plant 10 catties of wheat, and expect to have a harvest of [-] catties next year.
As for the harvest that the Kingdom of Kent doesn't care about at all, and will be laughed at by skilled farmers, they need to fight the sky, the earth, wild boars and reindeer, and sparrows and grouse...
Being able to become a dragon warrior, or even being able to advance to the first level, means stronger combat effectiveness and more abundant hunting.
It means that when I go hunting today, I don’t need to avoid the wild boar when I see it, but I have to find a way to kill it and bring it back. It means that the little cub in the family can eat a bite of meat...
It means that, apart from paying tribute to the owner of the territory, the noble Dragon Clan, there is no need to pay tribute to other surrounding tribes.You can even receive tributes from other tribes!
As for death—
What is death?
In such a barren and difficult land, who can expect to live to a very old age, dying in bed?That is the treatment that only the strongest spellcasters, spellcasters who are favored by the dragon clan, can have!
In order to advance, it is nothing to pay the price of life!
"Do you think this kind of opportunity is very common?" Jinlong Thorngraf continued to squint and complain about Gretel:
"We choose dragon warriors—except for the time when Vaska bet with that person—only once in ten years, or even decades! Young dragons will relax a bit when they establish territories, and then there will be no such good things !"
Gretel curled his lips, and curled his lips, and curled his lips again.Dragon warriors are not born without limit, even if they are dragons, the blood bestowed on them still needs to consume strength, and if they consume too much, they will slow down their progress——
And is it easy to use the memory weaving technique to infuse the spell model?That is the spell of Nine Rings!Nine rings!
That is to say, there are spell casters with nine rings in the research team, who happen to know how to use this spell, so they don't need to pay extra costs, so they can rub three to five, ten to eight, twenty to thirty in one go!
Try teaching spells directly to the caster instead?
What is the price of a nine-ring spell?
A third-level spellcaster needs to rely on nine-ring spells to learn second-ring magic—even the king’s own son, or the eldest son of the grand duke, can’t afford the price...
On the first day after Tern Baka flew, there were barbarian shamans, ogre mages, and dwarf mages around, packing up and going on the road.After flying for ten days, he soon began to fly the second circle:
Lead the way for those who may not be very literate, can't read maps, or can only understand the simplest stream of consciousness map!
Bring them to the mage's tower!
Or, take the magician to those spellcasters who are on their way, cast a teleportation spell, and pull people over directly! ——Rely on them to drive on their own, when they want to get there, don't lose a few more!
A high-ranking tern like him has a large group of his kind around him, or ravens, peregrine falcons, bar-headed geese, black geese... to inform him.With him here, it is absolutely impossible for those spellcasters who are on their way to lose them~~~
"Thank you Baka. Thank you for your hard work!" Gretel reached out and touched the tern's feathers, and gave it a small fish—a third-level monster caught from the sea as a reward from the silver dragon's family members.
Baka swallowed the frozen fish with his head up, combed his feathers triumphantly, and began to report:
"There will be 10 subjects arriving today! One of them is from the domain, and it is only half a day away from the mage's tower. My subordinates have already gone to lead him the way! There are still nine who are farther away, and mages have already gone there. received!"
"Great job, Baka!" Gretel handed out another small fish:
"Fortunately, you are here! Only because you have found so many subjects can our experiment continue!"
Baka the tern jumped up and down on the railing with its head held high, its feathers gleaming a multicolored black in the sun.After a long time, he flapped his wings and soared into the sky:
"Leave it to me! I'll continue to help you find people! ——Don't worry, with me, Tern Obaka, you will never be short of test subjects!"
For Gretel, the more subjects the better.However, for hard-working magicians, the more experimental subjects, the better:
"Master Nordmark, can we extend the time for people to come over!"
Ms. Katharina from the Confusion Department was the first to complain.Although there are quite a few people from the Department of Confusion and Control, there are only three magicians above level 17 and including level [-], and she is the only one who knows [Memory Weaving].
In other words, all the experimental tasks are all on her head!
Release nine-ring magic ten times a day!
ten times!
This Nordmark mage, what is the nine-ring magic?Eat and drink, can you release it casually?
"Well...if you feel very tired, I'll tell them to slow down..." Gretel looked at her pale face and the little beads of sweat on her forehead, feeling embarrassed:
"How many do you think a day is more appropriate? Eight? Five? Or three?"
"..." Ms. Katharina was embarrassed.Nine-ring magic ten times a day is really a blow to her, her spirit and body are squeezed to the limit, and she needs to rest for three days once she does it;
Eight times a day, supplemented by enough medicine, food, meditation and rest, is just a relatively high pressure and can promote self-improvement;
Five times a day is relatively easy, three times a day is fishing...
"Eight...eight times, but I need some supplementary medicine and high-end food...and a special meditation room..."
Send one away, and the next person who complains is coming again.Archmage Bolu of the Alchemy Guild stepped up and down, his hair was covered with powdered material, and rushed to Gretel:
"Master Nordmark, can we divide the subjects a little bit? You see... the barbarian is so tall, the dwarf is so short, the cloud giant's head is bigger than a pumpkin, and the lizard man's head is pointed... "
"So you need it?"
"We can't even make the matching devices!" Archmage Bolu's eyes were blank and his hands were trembling:
"To make a dragon egg measuring device, to make a measuring device for intelligent races, each subject has to do it differently! We have been working [-] hours a day now!!!"
Uh, a magician must ensure eight hours of sleep every day, so that there will be enough spells for the next day.Working sixteen hours a day meant stuffing a sandwich into your mouth while still working on your hands—
Gretel really wanted to ask them how to deal with the matter of eating and drinking, and how to solve the matter of Lazard.However, looking at the bloodshot eyes of Archmage Bolu, he could only sigh:
"Or, can you make the wire connecting the probe a bit longer? In this way, no matter if it's a big head or a small head, you only need to stick the probe up?"
Archmage Boru staggered away.Before Gretel could sigh, the next question came:
"Master Nordmark," the necromancer who worked in the mage tower, was always in a state of excitement.However, the one in front of Gretel looked particularly excited, his black robe was flying, and he was almost gurgling black air:
"In this experiment, in case some subjects die, what should we do with the corpses? - I mean, can their corpses be returned to the Black Crow Swamp? We can buy them! We can give the subjects' tribes some compensation!"
Gretel hesitated for a while and didn't come up.
