Chapter 157
Cheng Jinzhou skillfully exposed his thin chest, and the tattoo of the anti-gravity star array can still be seen on the right chest.

Mahron flicked the gold needle, and said with disdain: "Even if your body has grown for two months, at most it can allow the anti-gravity star array to bear 10 kilograms more..."

He shook his head, but there was no slowness in his hands. Before Cheng Jinzhou could speak, a needle was stabbed out instantly.

The needle, which was half an arm long, was inserted into the heart, and Cheng Jinzhou gasped.

Mahron didn't even look at him, picked up another golden needle, gestured over the heart, and then flicked his wrist.

The same goes for everything.

The two star warlock apprentices next to him didn't dare to take a breath. The deep piercing probe has long been a symbolic move in the eyes of the star array painter. They have followed the master for so long, and they are not often seen.

An oval plate was placed flat on the table, and Mahron pulled out the metal wire from it, and slowly connected it to the gold needle.

Cheng Jinzhou controlled his breathing. He was really worried that the old man's hand would shake and the needle would pierce his heart so that he could enjoy the cool.

He whispered: "I remember last time, what kind of blowtorch did you use to disinfect, and you put a lot of colored potions..."

"Not every time." Mahron said coldly, and then focused on the disc.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at him nervously, and said, "What do you think?"

"Every time a black dot appears on the disc, it can bear a little star point. If there is a circle, it means it can bear 10 star points, which has reached the standard of a first-level star warlock." Ma Helong didn't know what Cheng Jinzhou was asking, Instead, he explained his tools.

Cheng Jinzhou stared at the oval plate with wide eyes.

The light green plate looks quite heavy, with only three corners slightly protruding from the bottom, allowing the disk to be on a flat surface at all times.

Visually, the entire elliptical board is like a small marble chessboard, as smooth as jade, without the slightest blemish.

But soon, two small black dots appeared on the board.

"Are these two star points?" Cheng Jinzhou asked immediately.As he spoke, his upper body was still and his breathing was controlled like a middle-aged man hiding in a closet.

Before Ma Heron could answer, the black spots on the oval disk quickly increased by two more.

Cheng Jinzhou immediately became happy and said, "It sure has increased."

The increase in star points at least proves that real rice is still useful.

Mahron kept a cold face and didn't answer a word, but looked seriously at Yuanpan in front of him.

The two star warlocks he brought also had the same expressions.

Two more small black dots gradually appeared on the edge of the disk.

6 star points means that it can resist gravity by 90 kilograms. Cheng Jinzhou's body tensed up, and he kept thinking in his heart: real rice is useful.

Without raising his head, Maher patted him on the waist and said, "Relax."

Cheng Jinzhou relaxed involuntarily.

On the disk, two more black spots appeared.Their appearance speed is much faster than before, and the slow steps can be detected.

Then, another black dot...

Nine black dots.

The four people present had their eyes rounded up, scanning every position of the disk.

Cheng Jinzhou took a deep breath secretly. He felt that he could bear more star points, but he didn't expect to reach 9 star points. star rating, the identity will be very different, and the convenience of doing things will be completely different.

The stars and levels are shared, and perhaps they are the real star warlocks.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at the emerald green oval disk with extremely expectant eyes.

Only then did he discover that with the appearance of black spots, the color of the elliptical disk itself became lighter.

The tenth black spot seems to have been waiting for a long time.

When Cheng Jinzhou's eyes started to swell with soreness, he noticed a black spot flickering quietly on the edge of the plate, once, once, and again...

It seems to be unstable, appearing and disappearing, disappearing and appearing again.

Cheng Jinzhou swallowed and waited for the final result.

Suddenly, ten black dots flashed one after another.

Mahron made a whirring sound from his nostrils, and rubbed it on the disc with a concentrated expression.

After a flicker like an electric arc, all the black spots disappeared completely, replaced by a thin black circle...

Cheng Jinzhou started talking ecstatically, gritted his teeth tightly and asked, "Is it 10 star points? Can I bear 10 star points?"

"Congratulations, Cheng Jinzhou first-class star warlock. Don't move, be careful of the golden needle." Ma Helong's eyes were still fixed on Yuanpan, and he couldn't understand Cheng Jinzhou's mood at all.

The black dots on the disc continued to appear, but very slowly, until the twelfth one, after flickering for a long time, it was still strong and stable.Mahron let out a soft "Hey", for those who have not done special exercise, 12 star points are already hard to see.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't care about this at all, and just repeated silently in his heart: first-level star warlock, first-level star warlock...

What made him extremely excited was not so much because of his star warlock level, but because of Zhenmi.

If you use it continuously for 3 months, you can become a first-level star warlock, and no one will believe the advertisement.

Not to mention, the Covenant seems to have a higher level of food.

"Don't get excited, take it easy." Mahron finally lifted his head back from the elliptical disk, patted Cheng Jinzhou's shoulder and neck with his withered hands, and said, "You can bear a total of 12 star arrays. The original star array can If you change it, you can also puncture a new star array, how do you want to do it?"

He has seen too many star warlocks who have successfully advanced in his life. After a hundred years, the rare scenes will no longer be exciting, just like celebrating a birthday or watching the Spring Festival Gala.

If the anti-gravity star array wants to improve, it still needs to modify the thorns, 12 star points can increase the anti-gravity level to 150 kg. Although it is tempting, Cheng Jinzhou has other plans.

Seeing the golden needle being pulled out gently, Cheng Jinzhou let out a breath and blurted out, "I want a memory star array?"

"What?" Ma Helong was concentrating on packing things into the box, and was taken aback by Cheng Jinzhou's request.

The two star warlock apprentices were even more suspicious.

The Memory Star Array, also known as the Record Star Array, is not very famous, but it is also in the forefront of the useless star array. It is a star array commonly used by star warlocks at high levels. It is used to copy books and copy books , You can record the conversation through the star array without even using your hands, which greatly facilitates the astromancers to conduct experiments, observe the universe and astronomy, as well as read and think.

Although it sounds very good, the star formation requirement of up to 12 points makes it impossible for astromancers below level three to consider it.In fact, since the star points that the Star Warlock's body can bear are fixed, the potential for improvement is limited, and there are so many various star formations that even high-level Star Warlocks rarely carve them, let alone all of them. Cheng Jinzhou, who has only 12 points of tolerance.

Mahron raised his face and said, "Don't just waste it just because you think you are talented. After three years, you may not be able to bear 12 more star points."

Cheng Jinzhou secretly cursed in his heart. Just half an hour ago, he said that it was impossible for his star points to increase.

Of course, he just thought about it in his heart, and said with a playful smile: "It would be best to have a star array with less demand. I mainly want to be able to record the language while speaking and form a text."

The 1600 million star dollars are all used to buy books, if it is wasted, just to burn a star alliance level 4, then you will be a big fool.

"You really decided to make your first first-level star array, the record star array?" Mahron asked again.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded solemnly.

For him, there is nothing more practical than memory star array.Furthermore, the star array can be erased, which is nothing more than a waste of resources and money.

Mahron didn't say any more, took out a pen and paper from the wooden box, wrote a few lines, handed it to an apprentice astrologist, and said: "The memory star array is a kind of sound wave star array. , and can convert text into sound waves. The only attack method is high-frequency sound wave attack. The power is good, but the limited distance is very short. It is transmitted in the form of human beings, and the wave frequency that people can bear is limited..."

"I understand, I understand." Cheng Jinzhou hastily interrupted Ma Helong's re-education, joking, he has studied physics for so many years, and it is easy to climb out of the wave of education. If he is submerged in a bathtub for 2 hours, he will not be bored to death up.

Mahron concluded the introduction indifferently: "I haven't studied the memory star array specifically, so if you want to reduce the star point you can bear, you have to give up one of the two inverse functions, recording sound waves on paper, or The words on paper are converted into sound waves, although half of the function is given up, but it still has to bear 10 star points."

"Then just keep the anti-gravity star array? Can you remove the means of attack? Save a little." After enjoying the feeling of being as light as a swallow and soaring into the sky, it is difficult to give up.

Ma Heron said coldly: "Your current anti-gravity star array needs to withstand three star points."

After that, he answered the second question: "The attack method is attached to the sound wave itself and cannot be canceled. Moreover, high-frequency sound wave attacks are very powerful at very close distances and can penetrate a knight's breastplate within one meter. If you If the control ability is strong enough, the heavy armor of the heavy infantry will not be a problem."

Cheng Jinzhou didn't plan to go into battle himself, and he was even more dismissive of his offensive ability. After thinking for a while, he was the first to answer: "I remember that the anti-gravity star array can only withstand at least 2 star points, and it can hold up Isn’t it 50 catties? Then modify it.” Cheng Jinzhou’s current weight is less than 100 kg, and he is satisfied as long as he can fly.A low version of the anti-gravity star array, plus a memory star array, is barely enough.

Eating real rice is as easy as eating popcorn. In a few months, he may be able to withstand a few more star points. Although modifying the anti-gravity star array is expensive and expensive, he is reluctant to give up completely.

Mahron spread out his inseparable wooden box, took out the gold needles and played with them one by one, and said: "It is also possible to modify the anti-gravity star array, but the memory star array is a star array of alchemy, which requires many kinds of raw materials. In the end, I was He wants to collect money from Li Zhong."

Cheng Jinzhou was in a good mood, looking at the needle that was longer than his palm, he smiled like he saw a beautiful woman, and said persistently: "You have the final say."

Ma Helong didn't take oil and salt, slowly took out a row of potions, and slowly wiped his golden needles, very much like the procedure of injection death.

……

In the inner hall of the sanctuary, Li Zhong was also waiting anxiously.

After coming to Daxia for more than ten years, Li Zhong's promotion speed from ordinary priest to Xiajing Holy Church priest was much slower than his colleagues in the temple.But as a devout believer, Li Zhong has never regretted his original choice - spreading the teachings of the holy religion to the whole world is the best way to prove himself to the star gods.

However, the senior members of the entire Xingzhou Holy Church were far less pious than Li Zhong imagined.

They are unwilling to spend a lot of money to open up such a remote country.Except for the occasional input when the Astromancer always robs the high-level Astromancer for resources, the Great Summer Holy Church receives very little support.

Unless, prove the value of Great Xia to Xingzhou Holy Church.

After entering Xiajing Holy Church, Li Zhong was always looking for opportunities to prove himself.

Today, he immediately took a fancy to Cheng Jinzhou's new article, and taking into account the latter's excellent performance in the church, Li Zhong believed that this Xia Guoren, who was less than 14 years old, would definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to send the entire article to Xingzhou through the communication star array - ultra-long-distance transmission, without setting up a dedicated line, needless to say the high price.The bishop who made a special trip to disturb the church made him owe a favor.

But no matter what, Li Zhong was willing to give it a try.

Star Array did not respond for a long time.

Although he knew that the Xingzhou Holy Church had always been known for its inefficiency, Li Zhong couldn't help being anxious and had to pace back and forth in the room.

He walked very quickly, and once he got up, he would keep walking around the room until he was tired, so he sat down on the chair, and then opened Cheng Jinzhou's original text and kept reading. He was sure that it was an extremely Excellent thesis, but it is unknown whether it can impress the senior officials of Xingzhou—maybe the astrologers of the Xingzhou Holy Church have studied similar theories, or have even given up on similar theories, or the stars who are good at this Warlock is temporarily absent...

There are too many possibilities, and the distance is [-] kilometers. Li Zhongxin is burning with anxiety. Although he knows that there is no need to be anxious, he can't calm down.

What Xingzhou executives hope to see is always a top-notch mathematical paper.No matter how many excellent articles there are, they cannot replace top-notch papers.In Li Zhong's view, Daxia's knowledge of mathematics and science has long lagged behind the pace of the times, let alone the probability that the Holy Church values ​​most.

Cheng Jinzhou's appearance tantamount to making him have extremely high expectations.

A priest knocked softly on the door.

"Come in." Li Zhong rubbed his face, hiding his fatigue.

"Machron Star Warlock sent the bill."

Li Zhong calmed down, took the bill, and said with a smile, "He's really in a hurry..."

As soon as he said this, he stopped, and said strangely: "27 taels of silver, is he crazy? Who told him to stab a first-level star array, and it's a memory star array?"

27 taels of silver, roughly calculated, is equivalent to 450 contribution points, and its actual value is slightly less than that, but it is enough for ordinary star warlocks to sell themselves for several years.

The green-robed pastor who came to report the news had already seen the list, and explained on his behalf: "It was stabbed for Cheng Jinzhou Star Warlock, he..."

"Can he carve a first-level star formation?"

The pastor had never seen anyone before, so he said for no reason: "It can bear 12 star points."

Every two months, the Holy Church will stab a few first-level star arrays and go out, which is not a rare thing.

"Is he 14 years old?" Father Li Zhong murmured.

The pastor didn't hear clearly, so he couldn't answer suddenly, so he pretended not to hear: "Father, Mr. Mu Yin is here and wants to see you

Li Zhong looked at the communication star array behind him, but there was still no news, and thought about it: "Then go and meet him, what does he want to do?"

"He heard that Cheng Jinzhou Star Warlock came, and said he wanted to bet with him, but he couldn't find anyone..." The pastor saw Li Zhong's expression getting colder and colder, and his voice lowered.

"Who told him that Cheng Jinzhou was here?" Li Zhong remembered the last time the two had an unpleasant relationship. At the blackjack table, Cheng Jinzhou obviously made Mu Yin feel humiliated. It was nothing to let the two meet again. But in the current situation, the priest has a different idea.

The pastor bowed his head and fell silent.

The sanctuary is already exposed like a sieve, and it is not surprising that anyone leaks it out.

Li Zhongxin knew it clearly, but he was really upset. On the one hand, he was a very good star warlock, and on the other hand, he was from the Mu family. He shook his head and said, "Just say you didn't find me."

He is naturally not interested in things that are not pleasing to both sides.

……

Mu Yin walked around the main hall of the church twice, but he couldn't find Cheng Jinzhou, cursed inwardly, and found a card table to sit down for a rest.

He is very interested in many contents of the sanctuary, but he is unwilling to join the sanctuary, so he often comes to the hall to gamble as one of the methods.There have been more back and forth, and I have become interested in gambling itself.

For Cheng Jinzhou, on the one hand, he was resentful because of Zhao Quan's relationship, and on the other hand, he also wanted to completely defeat the opponent with his own card skills.

The gambling games in the Holy Church are all skill-based, and the publicity they have done over the years has deepened people's trust in skills. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have formed unique values ​​- defeating the opponent at the card table, and winning at the poker table. Very popular among astromancers.

"A coward." Mu Yin was still wearing a stone blue gown, turning his head to vent his dissatisfaction loudly.

His second brother Tian Shimin looked at the gambling table with a calm expression, raised his head slightly and said, "You can tell how good your mathematical ability is by looking at the star rating of a star warlock. He is a two-star warlock, and you have seen the published results. What is there to compare with?" mean."

Mu Yin's face suddenly changed, he stood up and said loudly: "He just took advantage of his luck, and the field he chose happened to be the area that everyone pays attention to..."

"Optics, geometry, and the current probability. Two-star warlocks deserve their name..." Tian Shimin sighed and said, "A Yin, you are indeed the best among the younger generation of star warlocks, but there are so many people in the world. , there are always some geniuses who surpass you, if you don’t admit this, you will suffer a big loss one day.”

"He's not even a first-level star warlock!" Mu Yin said angrily, "He's surrounded by a fourth-level star warlock now, but look at the second brother, before he becomes a first-level star warlock, I can be promoted again." Level [-]. Hmph, level [-] star warlocks are not so easy to talk to."

"Zhao Quan is just an unlucky ghost who offended the star warlock, and his family has nothing to do with it..." Tian Shimin stopped suddenly while he was talking.

Mu Yin knew that his second brother's star array was special, he could sense the flow of energy and detect the use of astrology. Seeing his star array light up slightly, he quickly activated the star array and said, "What's going on?"

"Someone is communicating with the Star God. It is the first time to use a star array, a first-class star array."

"A new first-level star warlock? Let's go and see?" Mu Yin suddenly became curious.

No matter how prosperous the Great Xia was, astrologists were extremely rare, and it was a rare experience to witness the birth of a new astrologist.

"It seems to be in the south." Tian Shimin also stood up curiously.
