: 173. The Way to Make Money (2 in 1)_2
Morster breathed a sigh of relief:
“I am now extremely grateful that my mother sent me to Hotams. It has given me the strength to protect my own legitimate position within the Empire.”
“When will the Earth Vein Wizard arrive at Tatis?” Noland Lee asked.
“About half a year from now,” Morster replied.
Noland Lee lightly “Hmm” :
“It seems that the Undead Cult will continue to exist for a long time before all parties are fully prepared.”
“Yes, that’s what I think too,” Morster shrugged slightly:
“But I don’t intend to spend my time and spirit on the affairs of the Empire. I have discussed it with my mother, and when the Earth Vein Wizard arrives in Tatis, I will resign as the Acting Commander and return to the Ulnas Circle to continue studying magic.”
Morster rubbed his metal-covered chin:
“As for the sale of Life Elixirs to Green Herb Ointment…
“The Empire personnel who previously dealt with the wizard caravan were not arranged by me. This is the responsibility of other imperial children. If I were to act as a go-between, I’ll tell you directly, it would be difficult, and not just a little bit.”
“After Division Intelligence Unit Three harvested ‘Vitality Surge’ from the battlefield, they processed it into Life Elixirs. At least four-fifths of the potion production is used for research on Biochemical Mutation and Aberrations. Of the remaining one-fifth, less than ten percent is surplus, but it has already been divided among my brothers and sisters.”
Noland Lee was not surprised by this answer. Those imperial children were not fools, and if they did not take advantage of any gains, they would be very much like idiots.
However, Noland Lee was not discouraged.
He snapped his fingers and said:
“Morster, how have Captain Murphy, Corporal Mars, and Sergeant Major Alvin Stafford been doing lately?”
Morster glanced at Noland Lee suspiciously:
“Fighting as normal, resting as normal. Mars is now a sergeant. Alvin injected himself with a mutagenic agent, successfully survived the onset of the drug, and is now a lieutenant, which is quite rare for an old man like him. Murphy is serving as a Special Commissioner in the Suffering Borderland, saving the day everywhere. Why are you suddenly asking about them?”
“Is the modification of Undead Runes and cracking of the Magic Protective Cover still ongoing?” Noland Lee asked.
“No, it’s not. After you left, Mars tried to modify the Undead Runes twice. The first time was successful. The second time, an accident occurred, and his left arm was torn apart by the Death Storm. If he hadn’t injected himself with a transformation potion beforehand and modified the Undead Runes in the form of a Biochemical Giant, he would most likely have died in that accident.”
Morster shook his head helplessly:
“Since then, Mars has refused to modify Undead Runes no matter what. Indeed, this kind of work is too difficult for an ordinary person. Even the Three-circled Wizards of the Death Herald Guild cannot guarantee a 100% success rate. You are an exception, being able to modify so many Undead Runes without making any mistakes.”
After finishing his speech, Morster looked around and glanced at the indigo-lit forest outside the window:
“Your peculiarity goes beyond that, Jarvis. It’s hard to imagine that you, a male wizard, actually joined the Silent Maiden.”
Noland Lee waved his hand, returning to the main topic, and said solemnly:
“If, Morster, I mean if. If I can find a way to make others decrypt Undead Runes like me, with a 100% success rate and fully remove the Magic Protective Cover. Could you help me gather an army, obtain ‘Vitality Surge’, and hand it over to Division Intelligence Unit Three to process into Life Elixirs?”
Morster pondered for a moment, and nodded:
“Yes, I can. The premise is that your method of removing the Magic Protective Cover is safe and feasible, and that you completely remove the entire cover.”
“I am confident in doing so.”
Noland Lee got up, went to the desk, and picked up a magic book that every First Rank Wizard must study.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
The book is called “Magic Shield Efficiency Theory.”
The so-called “shield efficiency” is the amount of damage that can be withstood per unit of shield strength without changing the shield strength.
“Magic Shield” only upgrades the total shield strength when leveling up.
Each point of shield strength can resist 2000 joules of damage, and this will not change with skill level ups.
Even the additional rewards for breaking through the whole level of skill level cannot improve shield strength efficiency.
This is because the damage that each point of shield strength can resist is related to a variety of factors.
These factors include the type of damage, the medium of damage conduction, the mode of damage effectiveness, indirect effects of direct damage, and so on.
Only by targeting specific damage and adjusting the energy structure of the shield with mental power can that type of damage be more effectively resisted.
For example, using a Magic Shield to counter flames.
Flames have an inherent high-temperature feature and can ignite flammable materials and be fueled by combustion aids.
Therefore, a magic wind shield, which is an energy shield formed by wind-type magic, is not suitable for combating flames. Because there are combustion aids, oxygen, inherent in the magic wind shield, which will to some extent fuel the flames.”
For this reason, the flame resistance of the magic wind shield is very low, no more than 10%.
Wizards who have studied magic wind shield in depth can use magic to generate flame-retardant gases, form their own magic wind shield, and greatly increase the flame resistance of the wind shield.
Adjusting the proportion of energy gasses in the wind shield, and thus increasing flame resistance, is one of the feasible ways to improve shield efficiency.
