I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

three days later.

The good news is that Chen Zhou made four magic items in just three days.

The bad news is that he ruined three of them in one night.

Well, people are not very good at it the first time.

The brain has learned it, but the hands have not.

This ability is not directly mastered through the "Life Plan", but acquired through independent learning of knowledge. Naturally, it is not as directly mastered as specializing in spells.

In addition, the new body is different from the human body, and it is not fully controlled to this day, so there will always be some small mistakes when doing things that require a high degree of concentration.

The price of failure is to lose dozens of gold coins at a time and directly scrap it.

"Isn't there a production method with a higher error tolerance, just like building Lego... Alas, it seems that we still need to spend more attention on physical coordination."

Otherwise, there is no way to make a living at this level.

Then, he looked at the only finished product in the past three days, a wooden cup used to hold wine in a tavern.

The original bottom of the cup had runes engraved with special materials, and then he added a layer of bottom to prevent it from being exposed to the air and causing damage.

This engraving method is only suitable for 0-2 level spells that have very simple spell models and can be easily displayed and transformed with runes. Level 3 is the limit.

It is convenient and fast, but it is not perfect. Once the runes are damaged, the material falls off, or other circumstances prevent the engraving from taking effect, it will become an ordinary wine glass again.

As for now...

"There needs to be water."

Following Chen Zhou's declaration, a cup of pure water slowly gushes out from the bottom of the cup. This is another new application of the water-generating technique. Now he can freely adjust the amount of generated water.

Of course, at the same time as the output is reduced, the consumption of magic power is also reduced.

After filling the cup with water, he filled the engraved bottom of the cup holder with magic power.

After a while, the originally clear pure water turned into a bubbling black liquid.

It’s the happy water that he longs for!

This is the effect of the 1st level arcana "Elixir of All Souls" - to a certain extent, it generates a medicine/potion that changes according to the caster's mind.

Analgesia, hallucination, intoxication, health, wakefulness, sleep, etc., although they cannot cure diseases, toxins or injuries at all, they can achieve some "healthy" effects.

It's not so much a secret medicine as it is a health supplement that keeps people happy.

With the addition of multiple 0-level effects, the difficulty of learning and constructing this spell has increased to 1-level, but the magic power consumption is still at the magic level.

In theory, it can even be used as a pet shower gel during bathing, but this has yet to be verified.

All in all...it's worth it!

I don’t know if it’s because he successfully created a useful magical object, or because he finally drank happy water again after nearly three months.

Chen Zhou was in a great mood. After putting it away, he went to the guild as usual...

……

In contrast, the adventurers of Gullting have been in a bit of a slump lately.

Nearly a week has passed since the Night of the Murlocs, and there is still no news about the Baron’s fiancé or the warships in Blossom Port, and the ghosts of Kuo Tao Murlocs have not yet been resolved.

Although those who survived that night basically earned enough gold coins to survive for several months, they soon discovered that——

Most everything necessary for life has increased in price.

After experiencing the night of the fishmen, the warship was taken away by those monsters again, so it was natural for the price to increase.

The baron's attitude, the threat of the fishmen, and the possible revenge from the Dephis family have made everyone, both civilians and merchants, in danger.

The only thing worth celebrating is probably the urgent mission from the Baron posted in the guild:

1. Rescue Alphonse Dephis and get a reward of one thousand gold coins.

2. Destroy the warship captured by the fishmen and get a reward of two thousand gold coins.

3. Recapture the warship taken away by the fishmen, and you will be rewarded with a reward of two thousand gold coins and canonized as a knight.

Completing any one of them means becoming rich overnight. You can wash your hands in a golden basin, buy a shop, make money while lying down, and enjoy the rest of your life!

For this reason, many adventurers in Seagull Pavilion spontaneously launched preliminary investigations, trying to confirm where their fiancé and the warship were taken to prepare for the invasion of the fishman tribe.

Even if it means a near-death experience and formal hostility to the kuo-toa.

I think the results should be available soon in the next few days.

Although he was indeed interested in the bounty, Chen Zhou refused all team invitations as always.

He suspected, no, he was sure that there was a plan by those crazy people.

It’s really incomprehensible. They are also fun-loving gods. Isn’t Xingal Shining Gold much more reliable than Xingwoli Damara?

All in all, it is better to develop secretly and involute.

After completing the daily charging of magic items, Chen Zhou studied and studied in his old seat as usual.

"Have you heard? The eldest prince of the Kingdom of Gajelan was assassinated."

Near noon, whispers from adventurers came from a corner of the guild, discussing gossip brought by maritime merchants.

Chen Zhou, who was serious about supplementing his knowledge, pricked up his ears.

He remembered that the Kingdom of Gajelan was a neighbor of Carlos. The two seemed to have some kind of feud and had many wars in history.

If there is turmoil in Gajelan, it might also have some impact on Carlos...

"Just die, what does this have to do with us?" Another person didn't care about this.

"Don't you know, their second prince is the main militant! And..."

The adventurer's voice was much lower: "And they claimed that Carlos was responsible for this assassination!"

"So what's the matter? I think they and we have assassinated the opposite high-level officials, right?"

"Nonsense, but the prince died this time. Do you think they will use this as an excuse to start a war?"

"Then you still need to ask. I will definitely do it, but isn't it as normal for our two countries to have a war as eating and drinking water?"

……

The two adventurers chatted a lot, and in the end Chen Zhou felt that Gajelan and Carlos were going to war tomorrow... although this was not impossible.

The nature of adventurers is similar to that of mercenaries. Once the two countries go to war, adventurers from the guild may also be recruited.

Although Chen Zhou could make up his mind and ignore these nonsense, war would inevitably be accompanied by rising prices, and he would have to eat after all.

Maybe I should take the time to do some simple tasks and stock up on more money, food and supplies...

However, Chen Zhou, who planned to find some tasks to do after reading the "Varo's Monster Manual", could calm down again.

The president's secretary, a half-elf called Stella, came to find him.

"Tom, the president invites you to have lunch with us on the third floor."

Chen Zhou frowned and realized that things were not simple.

The guild leader who is said to have half a foot in the fourth level rarely talks to guild members.

I'm afraid this isn't to assign him a job...but it's impossible for him to refuse to see his "boss"

"Okay, just wait until I finish reading this page."

Chen Zhou thought to himself, if the other party really forced him to do a dangerous task, at worst, he would resign on the spot.
