Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 321 Saint Quartz

In fact, after working at Cangqi Chengzi for a period of time, Hei Tonggan almost vaguely noticed something strange about his boss, but he didn't expect to see such a scene so clearly today.

The terrifying heat transmitted from the ball of fire made him clear that the scene in front of him was definitely not a trick or magic trick, but a genuine attempt to burn this guest to death here.

"Go back!" Seeing the figure of Kuroto Kanya, Aozaki Chengzi stared sharply with a stern voice.

But this is not to vent her anger because of her bad personality, on the contrary, it is to protect herself, a new employee.

Aoqi Chengzi looked at the flame in front of her vigilantly. Relying on the magic workshop's technique, the power of this flame was quite terrifying. It was obviously only instantaneously gathering energy, but it reached the level of a crematorium.

Not to mention ordinary human beings, even a corpse possessed by the undead would be burned to ashes in a short time when it encountered a flame of this magnitude.

Few creatures can survive such flames without specific attire.

but……

"It's really a warm way of entertaining, but isn't it a bit too much to treat a guest like this?"

Zheng Shu's calm voice came from the flames, and under Heitonggan's ghostly eyes, the originally raging flames suddenly began to shrink, and quickly turned into a red ball that gathered in his palm.

But Zheng Shu, who had just been shrouded in that high-temperature flame for a long time, looked relaxed and comfortable. There was no trace of burns on his body, and even the softest hair didn't feel any burnt black.

The only thing that could reveal the power of the flame just now was probably the chair under him that had been completely reduced to ashes.

But even if there is no support under him, Zheng Shu still maintains the posture of sitting on the chair, as if there is something invisible in the air supporting his body.

Under Cang Qi Chengzi's vigilant eyes, Zheng Shu played with the red ball in his hand, looking at him as if it was not the energy gathered by massive flames, but an ordinary glass ball.

"Is there no effect at all? It is worthy of being a monster that can kill half of the clock tower alone and then retreat. If an ordinary magician took this blow, if he hadn't prepared in advance, he might not even find his ashes now."

"That's really scary, but I just made a proposal, so there's no need to use such a terrible attack?" Zheng Shu had a look of "I'm so scared", but with his unscathed body, it seemed Abnormal mockery.

Cang Qi Chengzi seemed to be irritated by Zheng Shu's words, she stood up suddenly from the chair, stretched out her palm and pointed at Zheng Shu:
"Your strength is indeed amazing, but in my workshop, do you think you can beat me?!"

Accompanied by her words, a series of spells of various shapes emerged around Zheng Shu, and every unfolded spell emitted terrifying energy fluctuations, which might be activated at any time.

"Don't be so excited, just like I said, I just made a suggestion, and the specific reward hasn't been discussed yet." Zheng Shu looked extremely calm in the face of this dangerous situation.

He weighed the crimson energy ball in his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth casually, with a comfortable smile on his face, as if it was some delicious food.

"Proposal?" Canozaki Chengzi showed a dangerous smile, "As a magician, it's impossible for you not to know what your proposal represents?"

"Of course I know that."

Zheng Shu patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, straightened up from the sitting posture and stood up.

"There is an old saying in China, it's wrong to smoke smokers. It's skills that don't spread to the outside world, the bottom of the sea is never leaked, a thousand taels of gold is not sold, and old friends are given off on the streets. The world of magicians is more serious than this. Under normal circumstances, anyone who dares to propose Anyone who wants detailed information on other people's magic can be regarded as a signal to start war."

Cang Qi Chengzi's eyes narrowed: "Since you know about this matter and dare to make such a proposal to me, it seems that it was intentional."

The runes in mid-air began to tremble, as if they were about to launch an attack in the next moment.

"Don't be so anxious. Didn't I say that this is a normal situation. Since there are normal situations, there are naturally abnormal situations." Zheng Shu didn't seem nervous at all.

"Oh? Do you mean that I'm that abnormal person?" Cang Qi Chengzi's emotions became irritable with the naked eye. It seemed that Zheng Shu's words reminded her of something bad in the past.

"No, I mean I'm the one that's out of whack."

Zheng Shu reached out his hand to feel inside his clothes, took out a crystal with white mist inside and threw it to Cang Qi Orange, it was the floating spirit collected yesterday.

"Here, this is a meeting gift."

Aoqi Chengzi took the crystal vigilantly, and his eyes immediately changed. He looked at the sealed crystal in his hand with some surprise, and his attitude immediately changed: "I didn't expect you to have such a good thing. It's a good idea to use this thing as a meeting gift." Isn't it a bit too expensive?"

Having said that, the techniques surrounding Zheng Shu are slowly dissipating.

Cang Qi Chengzi suddenly turned to look at Kanya Heitong, who had been stunned by the side, and stared: "What are you still doing there? Why don't you hurry up and bring the tea! Also, find another chair for the This guest sit down."

Even with Kuroto Mikiya's character, he couldn't help complaining about the sudden change of Aozaki Orange, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, silently put the brewed tea on the table, and from the next room Pulled out a chair and put it behind Zheng Shu: "Please sit down."

Zheng Shu smiled at him to express his gratitude, then sat on the chair unceremoniously and looked at Aoqi Chengzi.

"Your meeting ceremony was really good, so I won't pursue what you said before." Aoqi Chengzi played with the crystal in his hand.

This kind of soul material is more useful to her as a puppeteer than other magicians. Many props, including the magic eye killer that can suppress the magic eye, need to use soul materials to make.

"No, I still have the same request. I hope to learn how to guide dolls from you." Zheng Shu gently picked up the teacup, and took a sip of the steaming tea.

Faced with Zheng Shu's attitude, Cang Qi Chengzi's face obviously burst into several blue veins. If it wasn't for the fact that he felt that he might not be able to beat this guy after the test just now, Cang Qi Chengzi would probably have to go all out now up.

"Do you think that with such a small thing, I can teach you my housekeeping skills?" Aoqi Chengzi waved the sealing crystal in his hand disdainfully, and threw it back, "Go back, see Come on, you guys haven't fully understood what real value is."

"No, I understand."

Zheng Shu didn't even take a look at the sealed crystal thrown on the table by Cang Qi Chengzi, but continued to dig it out in his clothes.

"To put it bluntly, the reason why there is such a situation in the magic world is entirely because the unique magic value of each family is too high, and the world's top puppeteer like you is naturally more valuable than ordinary puppeteers. Magic technology is much higher."

"Hmph!" Aozaki Chengzi smiled triumphantly.

"However, no matter how conservative the magician family is, there are cases where people from other families are recruited as students. This means that as long as the benefits are sufficient, magicians don't mind passing on their skills to others."

As he spoke, Zheng Shu took out a crystal the size of an ordinary person's fist from his clothes. This crystal looked colorful and had small edges and corners. The overall shape was a star-shaped octahedral similar to a star.

"Hiss..." After this strangely shaped crystal was taken out by Zheng Shu, Cangqi Chengzi took a sharp breath, and there was a substantive greedy light in his eyes, and even Hei Tonggan next to him They all took a step back in fright.

"What is this?!"

Zheng Shu showed a mischievous smile, and threw the crystal in his hand: "I call it the Holy Quartz."

"Holy crystal? It's really a rare thing." Cang Qi Chengzi didn't seem to hear what Zheng Shu was saying, but his eyes were fixed on the colorful holy crystal, moving along with its activities.

"Yeah, I don't know if it's enough for tuition." Zheng Shu casually threw out the Saint Quartz, as if what he threw out was just a piece of ordinary glass.

But Aoqi Orange was so frightened that he rushed up to catch the Saint Quartz in mid-air with both hands, and then kept stroking the shell of the Saint Quartz with his hands, squinting his eyes carefully, as if watching this The most beautiful thing in the world.

Watching Cang Qi Chengzi's movements, Zheng Shu took a sip of tea to cover up the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, for a magician, no wealth is more attractive than this crystallization of pure magical power.

This so-called Saint Quartz is not a rare thing, in fact, it is a magic crystal collected by Zheng Shu with a large amount of magic power.

Magic power crystals are actually not very precious to magicians. Basically, magicians with a little bit of wealth will gather their magic power in their spare time and store them in various ways for emergencies. .

The more famous one in the original book is probably the jewel magic of the Tohsaka family.

However, in the world of magic, jewel magic is actually not that precious. Basically, magicians with a little background will do it once or twice, but because the money consumption is too terrifying, basically there are few professional magicians. A skilled magician.

In addition to gem magic, there are many similar magic in the magic world to store their own magic power.

However, the magic crystals made in this way have a common problem, that is, the users are quite limited.

Basically, apart from the person who made the magic crystal, other people who can use this magic crystal are quite limited.

Of course, for some old-fashioned magician families, they have a way to overcome this limitation through various techniques, gather the magic power of all people together, and create magic crystals that everyone can use.

Even when necessary, the magic power of the leylines can be gathered together to form a magic furnace that can be carried around.

From the above, it seems that the magic power crystal Zheng Shu took out does not have any advantages.

However, apart from specially changing its shape and name because of Zheng Shu's bad taste, the Saint Quartz itself has only one characteristic: many.

For modern magicians, magic power is essential but extremely scarce.

In addition to collecting through leylines, the only way is to obtain magic power by transforming the life force of creatures.

It is no exaggeration to say that every trace of magic power of modern magicians is the vitality of living things.

Things like earth leylines or magic furnaces are something that ordinary magicians can't meet but can't ask for.

Even for a family of magicians at Kenneth's level, the debts formed after the loss of the leased magic furnace can even empty out their family's assets.

In another timeline, in order to obtain more energy, the Chaldea established by the monarch of the astronomical department even used nuclear power.

The energy contained in the holy crystal that Zheng Shu took out is beyond the reach of ordinary magic furnaces.

Because in the past few years, there was nothing that consumed too much mana except for the few months of confrontation with the clock tower, Zheng Shu was so bored that he gathered all the extra mana he produced every day.

If you really want to make a comparison, the magic power gathered by this holy crystal is about one-third of that of the Great Holy Grail in Fuyuki City.

And this is only a part of Zheng Shu's accumulated magical power. After all, the infinite matter is really beyond common sense.

It is no exaggeration to say that this holy spar is in the hands of any magician, and it is not much different from them directly winning the final victory of the Holy Grail War and making a wish.

"So what's the matter? This should be enough for 'tuition fees', right?" Zheng Shu put down the teacup in his hand, and leaned on the back of the chair relaxed.

Cangqi Chengzi was called out from the obsession by Zheng Shu's words. She glanced at the Saint Quartz in her hand and looked at the puppets in the room next to her. She swallowed hard, but she couldn't Say something that says no.

In any case, such a huge crystal of magic power is too attractive to magicians.

Glancing at the entangled Cangqi oranges, Zheng Shu continued to "sprinkle coins" without hesitation: "This Saint Quartz is just a deposit. After the teaching is over, there will be another Saint Quartz of the same level as the final payment."

"Okay! No problem, I can start teaching you anytime!" Aozaki Orange said decisively.
