Lord of Plenty
Chapter 13 Fire Demon Stone
The sun was hanging obliquely above the blue sky. Perhaps it was because the tall and heavy black outer wall of Lovos City blocked the biting cold wind from the north, or perhaps it was because the crowd gathered in the center of the open-air square was too dense, Kun actually felt a long-lost heat.
Wearing a felt hat, hunched rat eyes, and a somewhat wretched-looking auctioneer from Lovos City, he appeared on the auction table in the center of the square on time at ten o'clock.
Because the audience was different, unlike the complicated auctions that Kun had participated in in the capital, there were neither beautiful etiquette ladies nor boring opera performances at this auction.
The auctioneer just bowed to the positions of several obviously noble bidders such as Kun, and then started this open-air auction.
Kun highly praised the organizer's vigorous behavior.
It was a good auction, and they introduced the nobles participating in the auction one by one, and they also performed and gave speeches. Isn't it annoying? Haven't you heard the saying that every minute counts?
Well, there is no such saying in Yongxu Continent, so it is normal that you have never heard of it.
Six burly men pulled a rope as thick as their arms, with veins popping out on their arms, and pulled two huge goats onto the stage with great effort.
Kun, who was standing in the audience, glanced at the two monsters that were not within his shopping range, and slowly took out a piece of parchment from his arms.
This was the auction list that the tax officer Vittorio wrote to him before he came, and the price range was marked in detail on it.
Everything is under control!
"The first item to be auctioned is a pair of first-level monsters from the Goujin Mercenary Group. The Stone-Splitting Bighorn Sheep are good at earth magic, can open the way, and have great strength. The two monsters are one male and one female, and they may even breed. The starting price is fifty silver coins. Each bid must not be less than three silver coins. Now it starts at fifty-five-thirteen-fifty-six-fifty-nine. This gentleman bids seventy silver coins. He has a good eye. Is there a higher price? Okay, seventy-three-six-six. Pairs of monsters are still very rare. Seventy-nine-eighty-two... one hundred and fifty-five is a good deal. On to the next item."
Ah? ! ! !
Kun's body froze, and he almost tore up the list in his hand.
Before he could react, the first lot was sold out. What the hell?
And your mouth was rented by the second, are you anxious?
Li Tianyun was amazed, leaning sideways and asking curiously:
"Will this guy not be short of breath after speaking for so long in one breath, or is he some kind of sub-human? Turtle orc, so he can hold his breath particularly well?"
"..."
"It should be just an ordinary human, right?"
Kun's tone was full of uncertainty.
Twisting his somewhat stiff neck, Kun brought out the energy he had when he was studying the Mark of Plenty.
He stared intently at the auctioneer's mouth, which seemed to be equipped with an electric motor, with wide eyes, and saw that there was going to be a fierce battle this time!
As the items at the auction were taken away one by one, the auctioneer's speech speed became faster and faster.
Kun, with beads of sweat on his forehead, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the Fire Magic Crystal on his chest. The Fire Magic Crystal, which was emitting a faint halo, immediately dimmed. He stopped the constant magic output array engraved on the Fire Magic Crystal.
This kind of Fire Magic Crystal and Ice Magic Crystal with a constant magic output array engraved on it are very popular among the nobles in the capital. With just one small crystal, they don’t have to worry about the hot summer or the cold winter, so they are often purchased as essential accessories for high-end clothing.
From a mage apprentice to a second-hand seller, a small Fire Magic Crystal worth no more than one silver coin can be sold at a high price of one gold coin.
When Kun was short of money for magic experiments before, he had also thought about this business.
Unfortunately, this profitable business was monopolized by the Capital Magic Association, and the crystals he made with great effort could not be sold at all.
This also made Kun, who was only eleven years old at the time, understand a truth. All the profitable businesses that were open to the public, except those that violated the laws of the kingdom and could not be done, had long been monopolized by people in various ways.
Either they occupied the rare source of raw materials, or they monopolized all sales channels.
Either they found another way and fought their way out, or they could only follow these people and pick up some leftovers. There was no other way to go.
The fearless Kun chose the first way. He improved the constant magic output array engraved on the fire magic crystal and added a small switch on it.
Just like the one on his body, the user does not need to know magic. Just a light stroke on the top of the magic stone can turn off the constant magic output array that ordinary people who don't know magic can't turn off at all.
Although it was just a small change, it also bypassed the magic commercial use rights barrier of the Royal Capital Mage Association.
Not only did it greatly extend the effectiveness of the magic stone, but even ordinary people without magic could easily manipulate it. Whether it was the effect of use or the commercial value, it undoubtedly greatly exceeded the original magic crystal stone.
Just when Kun thought he could make a lot of money this time and earn enough to cover the cost of a year's magic experiment, reality gave him another slap in the face.
The fire magic crystal stones he made still couldn't be sold.
On the one hand, the merchants who originally did this business united to maliciously lower the price. A magic crystal stone engraved with a magic array was sold at a price lower than the cost price. The other party had the capital to spend, but he couldn't.
On the other hand, Kun missed the audience of the new magic crystal stone.
The small nobles can't afford it, but the big nobles will care about the loss of turning on the magic crystal all the time? The magic crystal has no magic power, just replace it with another one.
Saving is a word that has nothing to do with aristocrats. Anyone who dares to do this will definitely be ridiculed and lose their head in aristocratic circles.
In the end, it was the Kingdom's Mage Association that acquired Kun's new magic through his father, Marquis Lawrence, and gave him a symbolic reward of ten gold coins.
Don't underestimate the reward of these ten gold coins, it is already a top reward.
For the sake of Marquis Lawrence and his mother Kun, otherwise a small innovation such as improving the constant magic power output array engraved on the fire magic crystal would be a reward of ten silver coins for another person.
As a result, the kingdom still used the original magic crystal, and the magic improved by Kun was shelved by the Royal Capital Mage Association.
It took a long time for Kun to understand the stakes.
Since then, Kun has not shared any self-created magic with the Royal Capital Mage Association, including the holographic map magic that surprised the two officials of the Fengrao Territory, and also the magic that he used as the original life magic of Yongxu Continent. The magic of abundance created by blueprints.
The so-called life magic is actually the wood magic inherited from elves.
It's just that some parts of human herbalism, alchemy, and mysticism have been added to it, so people call it life magic.
In essence, there is no essential difference from the wood magic used by the elves. They are both magic to control flowers, plants and trees.
But the fertility magic created by Kun is different. It is closer to the essence of life.
For example, Kun can use magic to connect the vitality and souls of two completely different lives, making them one.
You can also use a drop of blood to reconstruct a complete human body.
These things cannot be accomplished by the life magic that is widely spread on the Yongxu Continent or the wood magic mastered by the elves.
More importantly, the magical secret that belongs to Kun alone.
After becoming a fertility magician, all the plump fruits he planted and successfully harvested would give him some magic feedback up to the maximum magic limit!
When the number of crops grown is small, this magical property is not noticeable, because the magic power that one plump fruit can give is too small. It takes about a thousand grains of plump green wheat to feed back to the magician, which is equivalent to one Yongxu. The weak magic power of mainland ants.
But as long as you accumulate it little by little, you can add up to a high magic capacity that other mages only dream of.
Theoretically, as long as enough fruits are harvested, the Fertile Mage will not run out of magic power.
The world only knows that Kun Yalan is the fifth son of the Marquis family, half of the royal family. He is a magic genius who has set a new record for the youngest archmage in the kingdom and successfully advanced to a high-level magician at the age of fifteen.
But no one knows that in the eyes of the public, this 'genius', whose achievements are mostly due to a good pregnancy, is not welcome in the Marquis Mansion.
No one knows what it means to be a 'genius' mage in a family founded by martial arts.
The fifteen-year-old Archmage is indeed nothing special in the capital where geniuses gather.
What about the sixteen-year-old Fourth Level?
In the past three hundred years of the Dansu Kingdom, the only being who has successfully entered the realm of heroes!
Dawn didn't know that when they had a meeting in the castle that night when they first arrived in the Harvest Territory, Kun was right.
In the entire Harvest Territory, there really was no existence that could threaten his life.
Even if this range applies to the entire Dansu Kingdom, even if only 30% of his magic power is left because of the need to maintain Li Tianyun's life, Kun still retains the strength to defeat the third level peak.
Of course, there are still beings stronger than him in places such as the Sea of Storms, the Forest of Eternal Darkness, and the Forbidden Scorched Earth around the Territory of Plenty.
Kun was aware of this when he first arrived in the Plenty Territory.
As with his research, the two necessary conditions for entering the hero realm are super-level bloodline, reaching the third-level bottleneck, and an optional bloodline fusion potion.
Because some people are born with super-level bloodlines and do not need blood fusion potions to fuse a super-level bloodline at all.
But Kun is a little different. He didn't advance to the heroic realm by relying on his super-level bloodline.
Instead, relying on the magic power fed back when harvesting the fruits, he accumulated bit by bit and broke through the natural barrier.
Kun once made a rough calculation. As long as he accumulated thirty times the magic power of an ordinary high-level magician, he could break through that barrier by himself without relying on super-level bloodline. Warriors should also need a similar amount of fighting spirit.
But ordinary third-level warriors and mages who want to break through the bottleneck on their own can basically go to sleep.
This is almost as difficult as a person eating himself into an elephant.
It's not a question of whether talent is enough, but the physical limits of the creature itself.
How can a porcelain bowl hold a large wooden bucket of water?
Therefore, Kun suspected that those dragon species with third-level strength when they were just born, survived for a long time and became ancient dragons for more than a thousand years, in fact, just to accumulate enough strength little by little to break through the third-level bottleneck.
Therefore, in Yongxu Continent, only those beings who are naturally powerful and have extremely long lifespans can break through to the heroic realm on their own through continuous accumulation.
For ordinary life forms like the human race, this bottleneck is far greater than it seems.
Limited by the natural ‘character’ and lifespan of humans, they cannot meet the requirements of normal breakthroughs at all, and can only choose to find another way.
So it is obvious that the human race has the most outstanding wisdom, and can constantly summarize the practice experience and accumulate practice wealth from generation to generation.
Normally, the result of continuous climbing can be achieved through continuous accumulation.
In fact, the human race has been stuck before the gate of the fourth level. In the past thousand years, it can be said that there has been no achievement, just standing still.
In addition to the fragile life essence of the human race, it is not enough to support the human race to complete the leap from the third level to the fourth level.
Another important reason is that the continent is too stable now, and even wars between the two countries rarely occur. Without external pressure, the internal will naturally become corrupt, and be content with the status quo and not make progress.
Just like the magic circle improved by Kun, which can be opened and closed at will by ordinary people, is it really a meaningless creation, so that it was shelved by the Royal Capital Mage Association?
The most significant significance of the rich magic system created by Kun is that it allows a mage to break the bottleneck of the third level by relying on the magic power fed back when harvesting crops without the trouble of obtaining super-level life blood like him!
If we continue to study in this way, maybe other systems of magic or warriors' cultivation systems can also be used as reference to find a way to break through the limit of the third level.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he has raised the cultivation system of the entire human beings in Yongxu Continent by one level.
By then, if the human side has enough strong people who have broken through to the fourth level, they can protect more cities and breed more people.
Maybe by that time, humans will no longer be one of the most prosperous races in Yongxu Continent, but can become the only overlord in this world like humans on Blue Star, and there will be no more intelligent races that can threaten humans.
The kingdom can also rise up and establish an empire, becoming one of the most powerful countries in the continent, thus extending the kingdom of Dansu for thousands of years.
Unfortunately, after the incident with the Fire Demon Stone, Kun never thought of sharing his research results with others.
He was just a little introverted, and he was not a fool who would sell out and help others make money.
So far, no one knew that he, the fifth son of the Marquis who was sent to the countryside to fend for himself, had secretly advanced to the legendary hero realm.
Fourth-level legendary wizard!
