Chapter 259 Change of Status, "Storm Spear" Warship, 10,000 Talent Points!
The airship landed again.
Ian stepped down the gangway and took a deep breath.
The scorching smell in the air filled my nostrils; it was that familiar scent of metal and gunpowder.
"Lord Ian!"
A young alchemist approached and respectfully said to Ian, "Manager Rolf sent me to fetch you. This way, please."
Ian was somewhat surprised.
"OK."
With Ian by his side, the alchemist's gaze drifted over the ring on Ian's hand.
A gold ring!
Senior scholar!
And the college's supplementary publication!
Thinking about the supplementary issue that was just released yesterday, and all the other news, he understood that Ian was no longer a simple elite member.
Even if he doesn't become a core member in the future, he will definitely be a prominent figure in the academy.
"Please go ahead!"
He bent over even more and spoke with even greater respect.
The two were walking on the road.
We haven't even walked fifty meters yet.
"Lord Ian, you're back."
Before they had gone more than a few steps, a wizard strode up to them, a smile plastered on his face as he looked at Ian.
"Ronnie!"
Ian thought for a moment. This was a wizard who had asked him to repair his magical artifacts, so he could barely be considered an acquaintance.
"It's an honor that you still remember me. You're busy, so I won't bother you any longer."
Ronnie quickly moved aside.
Their conversation attracted a lot of attention, and as soon as Ian left, people came forward.
"Ronnie, is that Ian... Scholar Ian?"
"A wizard who knew him asked."
Ronnie nodded.
"You actually know someone like that?"
The wizard was taken aback, and his gaze toward Ronnie became more serious.
Several wizards nearby also joined the discussion.
"Is it that senior scholar?"
"I've read his article. It's definitely worth the money for a supplementary issue; it's packed with valuable information."
The wizards were buzzing with discussion.
The Element Latitude and Longitude series has not been reprinted in ten years.
This reissue naturally caused quite a stir and drew the attention of more wizards to Ian.
the other side.
The two quickly returned to the alchemy workshop.
"Greetings, Wizard Ian."
"That's amazing!"
The alchemists who passed by greeted Ian one by one.
Ian nodded to each of them.
This is the first time I've seen something like this.
This is because most of these alchemists are actually warband alchemists, and they have never gotten along so well with academy alchemists.
He never expected that an academic advancement would have such an effect.
They soon arrived at Rolf's room.
"Manager Rolf."
Inside the room, Rolf sat behind the table, looking at Ian with a complicated expression.
"Ian, you've really surprised me this time."
He remarked with emotion.
The publication of an article on the mysteries of the elements is already a great joy for the wizards of the academy.
Needless to say, those who advance to the rank of senior scholar.
But surprisingly, there was a supplementary issue.
This ability, even though he had always had reservations about the academy's wizards, vanished at this moment.
Wizards always prefer the strong, even those who excel in academics.
"From today onwards, you can participate in more advanced maintenance, including airship maintenance and so on."
He said calmly.
Ian's eyes lit up immediately.
In the Alchemy Workshop, although he had considerable authority, high-value repair tasks were generally reserved for Warband Alchemists.
The alchemists in their academy rarely had the opportunity to participate, even he did.
Especially airships.
Ian was quite interested in this rather popular area of alchemy.
Now we finally have a chance.
"And Yanzhu also wants to see you."
Finally, he mentioned it briefly.
"OK."
Ian nodded.
Then he left.
Just as the door opened, Rolf's student, Allen, walked over.
Allen was also taken aback when he saw him.
"Ian the Alchemist".
He greeted them.
"Alchemist Allen"
Ian nodded before leaving.
"Now it's impossible for me to surpass him in terms of fame at the academy."
Allen shook his head as he watched the retreating figure.
After this, Ian's fame will likely rival that of the core members, and he sees no hope of surpassing them.
"Lord Rockcast."
Ian arrived at the mine and met Rockcastle.
"Ian, come here, congratulations on your promotion to senior scholar, this is a gift for you."
Rock Casting smiled and handed a bottle to Ian.
Open it.
Roughly estimated, there should be about 30 grams of earth vein essence.
So generous?
"If you have any questions about earth element cultivation in the future, feel free to ask me. I prefer to communicate with younger generations."
He also said.
"Of course, I'll also need your help with the modification of the purification furnace. If you manage to modify it successfully, I'll be very grateful to you."
Yan Zhu said.
As the person in charge of the mine, his profits are naturally closely related to the mine's revenue.
Once the furnace efficiency is improved.
The benefits he can gain are far more than just those thirty grams of earth vein essence.
"We will definitely do our best."
Ian nodded.
He was counting on this to swindle funding.
How could I possibly give up?
"Yes, you can come and see the furnace anytime. It's a pass to the mining area. There's also a meditation room here. Earth element is plentiful, and there's one available for you to use anytime."
Then Rockcastle gave him a pass, allowing him to move freely within the area.
Ian's eyes lit up immediately.
Is there a shortage of training rooms?
It's important to know that Earth Fortress has no shortage of earth elemental wizards, so this is clearly Rockforge extending a gesture of goodwill.
"Thank you, sir."
Ian expressed his gratitude.
Soon, he strolled around the factory for a while and also visited the meditation room.
The earth element is abundant, comparable to an advanced meditation room in an academy, at least 50% more than in the alchemy area.
"Mental strength can be improved even faster now."
In the meditation room.
Ian sighed.
But he also understood that these were all Yanzhu's expectations for his project.
If the project fails to produce any results, these things will eventually be taken back.
And after meditation.
Ian returned to the Alchemy Department.
But before he could even settle in, someone else invited him.
"Lord Leonard."
Ian looked at the warband wizard in front of him, nodded, and felt a deep sense of emotion.
a year ago.
He had to visit these adults one by one.
But a year later, these same adults were inviting him over one by one.
"Will there come a day when the three of you will come to visit me?"
Ian couldn't help but dream.
My desire for improvement grew stronger.
soon.
But the meeting place was not the room from last time, but on a huge war airship.
"The airship from the Second Ring Road?"
In the battle zone, Ian looked up.
The largest airship he was on was about fifty meters long, but the one in front of him was two hundred and fifty meters long.
The shape of this airship resembles a spear about to be thrown.
The ship has a slender hull and sharp lines.
The bow is a sharp ram, and the entire ship is cast from silver-white metal, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
Behind the ramming horn are three rows of gradually rising rune cannon muzzles, pointing forward, as if ready to pierce the enemy's defenses at any moment.
"Storm Spear"
Leonard's voice came from behind.
Ian turned his head.
"The academy has three warbands, each with a second-ring airship. The Storm Spear is the most powerful of them all. When it goes all out, even a peak second-ring wizard would never dare to confront it head-on."
sizzle!
Ian pursed his lips.
Such a high-level alchemical creation would absolutely tempt any alchemist.
"For our next mission, we're preparing to launch the airship, and we're still short a few alchemists to accompany it. Are you interested?"
He extended an invitation.
Ian calmed down instantly.
"Sir, I still prefer to research projects from the rear, but I'd be happy to do maintenance if there are any tasks."
joke.
The second-ring airship must be carrying out extremely dangerous missions; if something goes wrong, he won't even have a chance to escape.
"All right."
Leonard shrugged, indicating his regret.
"But I didn't call you for that. I heard you've been buying up mercury everywhere, right?" he asked.
"Yes."
Ian nodded.
"You can't buy it outside. The Earth Mercury Academy has a limited production capacity, so it's basically all bought up by the warbands."
"Reinard said."
"this?"
Ian paused for a moment, then looked at Leonard.
"It's really boring talking to smart people. My teacher told me to pay more attention to you, but I can't just give you this 'earth mercury' stuff directly."
I'll give you the title of Warband Cooperative Alchemist, which might include customizing and repairing magical artifacts, etc. Of course, you'll get plenty of battle merits. You can come to me directly to exchange them for Earth Mercury, how about that?
Leonard, feeling a bit listless, said directly.
Ian was initially pleasantly surprised and said, "Thank you, sir."
This is great news!
The warband's artifacts are of higher quality, and repairing them grants more proficiency.
Moreover, one can also obtain the Earth Mercury.
"But it's actually Lady Elena?"
Ian silently expressed his gratitude.
"Okay, that's all. A wizard will contact you later."
Leonard, as the vice-leader of the chapter, was also very busy and quickly saw Ian off.
"I really don't know what the teacher was thinking!"
After leaving, Leonard took a deep breath.
In his view, although Ian was good at academics, he was not outstanding in other areas.
It's highly unlikely that they'll get the core components.
"Without becoming a core member, one can never truly enter the academy's inner circle of power!"
He shook his head.
They walked towards the top of the airship.
soon.
The first batch of magical artifacts from the warband was delivered to Ian's laboratory.
have to say.
As expected of a warband wizard, the overall quality of their wizard artifacts is almost a level higher.
This also greatly increases the skill level required for repairing magical artifacts.
We are getting closer and closer to the experts.
.
You should know that Ian is really looking forward to this skill reaching the master level.
Simultaneously.
The project to purify the furnace also began, and Ian started learning new runes.
The runes from the advanced academy do indeed look more refined.
Soon, the first core rune was mastered.
Other skills also began to improve slowly.
Another half month passed.
Stormspear appeared at the front of the battlefield and launched a surprise attack on one of the enemy's large fortresses.
It is said that someone from the Second Ring Road also took action at the time.
The airship returned half a month later, and there were large areas of damage to the airship outside.
Ian was glad he hadn't followed.
But he also got involved in the airship's maintenance.
.
He wasn't qualified to work on the core components, but he was already capable of completing some parts that weren't particularly valuable.
At first, Rolf was worried.
But seeing Ian's skillful movements, they felt relieved.
By this time, Ian had become a fully-fledged frontline alchemist.
Besides.
This month, the issue of republishing the Element Journal has also stirred up quite a storm.
Ian hears people talking about it almost every day.
Fortunately, as time passed, the storm gradually subsided, which relieved Ian.
As his fame grew, he became genuinely worried about being targeted by the Crimson Eye.
Fortunately, things seem to be going well so far.
Not quite.
Of course, in addition to the increase in fame, it also brought Ian tangible benefits.
This is mainly divided into two parts.
The first part is the profit from the supplement itself; he can get 30% of it, and about 3,000 copies were sold in the past month.
Each book costs fifty magic stones, and the profit is approximately forty-five thousand magic stones.
But this is only the first month.
Ian estimates that his earnings could exceed six figures, reaching 100,000 magic stones in the coming year.
Ian couldn't help but feel terrified.
Knowledge is truly expensive.
He likes it.
Secondly, because of him, sales of Pierce's improved products skyrocketed.
The monthly income received from the Chamber of Commerce.
It used to be around one or two thousand magic stones, but now it has jumped to five thousand.
So Ian increased his investment and came up with several improved products, hoping that the Pierce Chamber of Commerce could go further.
There's no need to worry about not being able to hold on.
Because the Pierce Merchant Guild itself is backed by a wizard from the Academy, who is said to be a wizard from the Winter's House.
He is also one of the top core disciples.
And that's pretty much it.
As the storm subsided.
Ian now has access to magic stones and resources.
The long-awaited period of improvement has begun.
In the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye.
Six months have passed.
"Windwing has reached Master level."
In an open space within the fortress, Ian felt his wings returning to their original shape and took a deep breath.
A notification sounded: "Wind Wings has reached Master level, talent increased by 200."
Talent: 9300 → 9500.
"
"Not bad, I added a hundred. After all, we've already learned a lot about wind attributes at this level."
Ian nodded in satisfaction.
In the past six months, in addition to the various witchcraft techniques he had previously acquired, he also added combat skills he had obtained from Horton.
Low-level combat skills are easy to learn.
The talent level has been increased by 150.
And that includes his mastering of one of the core runes of the Forge, which boosted his talent by two hundred.
"This brings me closer and closer to reaching 10,000 talent points!"
Ian took a deep breath.
His mastery of earth ley line vibration is now over 300 points away from the expert level, just one step away from the master level.
Meditation techniques have also reached the experts.
Repairing magical artifacts is just one step away from becoming an expert; it has to be said that this skill is truly difficult to improve.
"But we need to make up for it first."
Ian shook his head and added the Wind Wings to the Wind Barrier.
soon.
He sensed the change.
"I can control the wind more autonomously, changing it into various shapes, which in particular enhances my ability to move and dodge in the sky."
Ian was very satisfied.
Of course, that wasn't the only thing that satisfied him.
As this sorcery reached perfection, the power of his domain was greatly enhanced.
The integration level has also improved slightly.
"We need to quickly upgrade the third layer and the ley line vibration to Master level, and also replenish the furnace."
He pondered what was to come.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months later.
He practiced asceticism in the mining area for a long time and often sought guidance from Yan Zhu.
The earth's veins vibrated, breaking through to the master level.
At the same time, the degree of integration within the field has surged, and there has been a significant improvement in various aspects such as harmony.
Talent points also increased by 200.
While learning the subsequent Forge runes, Ian has also begun to supplement his learning of the first Forge core rune.
With the addition of body refinement and other techniques, his talent now reached 9,800.
Three more months passed.
At this point, the skill level required to repair magical artifacts is only 200 points away from master level.
There is also a certain distance to the third level of meditation.
But with a new Forge rune reaching Master level, Ian's talent points finally reached 10,000.
"Upon mastering rune extraction, talent points increase by 200."
