The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 137 Fei Capital's Platinum Shield

……

Crucible House 15 floors.

In a classroom the size of a basketball court, Matthew met his exclusive trainer, Ms. Margaret.

According to David, this lady is known for her vicious combat skills.

In the battle mage competition held within the alliance, she won the championship in different levels of events.

Margaret is also the only senior mage with an A1 title who is still active in the position of trainer for a long time.

Her level is LV20, only one step away from legend.

When Matthew saw her, she was wearing a very ordinary home clothes, with slippers under her feet, and her ten white and tender toes were painted with crystal clear rose red nail polish.

She wore a pair of half-rim glasses on the bridge of her nose, and the rose red frame made her skin look fairer.

Compared with her reputation abroad, Margaret's figure is relatively petite. Even if she stands on the stairs, she can only reach Matthew's chin.

But this did not detract from her majesty in the slightest.

As soon as Matthew walked into that classroom, he felt as if he was being targeted by an apex predator after only being glanced at by Margaret.

That feeling is a trembling from the depths of the soul.

"Hi, Ms. Margaret, my name is Matthew..."

Before Matthew finished introducing himself.

Interrupted rudely to Convenience:
"I know your name is Matthew, and you know my name is Margaret. That's enough. Don't talk so much nonsense. My time is precious, and the time in this magic classroom is even more precious—if it is someone else, who wants to start a full-time "Suriel's Magic Class", it will cost at least 1 gold coins or [-] knowledge point. For me, the fee will be halved, but I have to race against time. "

"Let's make a long story short, I know you have some background, but here, all your other identities don't count, you can only be my student, you must obey all my commands unconditionally, even if I ask you to kneel down and lick my toes, understand?"

Matthew froze for a moment.

He didn't like Margaret's strong style, but senior mages had more or less strange flaws. Margaret was famous, so there must be something.

In order to learn spells, Matthew decided to bear the burden of humiliation:
"I understand."

Margaret pushed the temple on the right side:
"If you make a stupid mistake, I'll just put you on your knees and lick;
But if I find out that you made this kind of mistake on purpose, I will give you a more memorable experience, and I hope I won't catch you, my dear student. "

Done.

She motioned Matthew to sit down with her eyes, then took out a staff from her ear and tapped it lightly.

next second.

Something that surprised Matthew happened——

A round of beautiful magic light spun around Margaret's body.

The home clothes on her body disappeared immediately.

Instead, a white shirt on the upper body, a tight black uniform and the familiar hip skirt.

With this outfit and her pair of glasses, looking at Matthew was both desperate and heart-wrenching.

"I heard that you like this kind of dress, so I changed it into this look on purpose. Don't get me wrong. A happy mood can help improve the efficiency of class. In order to make students more focused, I will take all measures."

Margaret said flatly.

Matthew asked shamefully:
"Where did you hear about it?"

Margaret replied:
"Eckmond."

"I heard that you just joined the alliance, so you probably don't know that our mage is a super invincible gossip king——

He is very keen to explore gossip, and he is also happy to share the gossip he has seen with others.

What's even more frightening is that he possesses extremely powerful insights.

Because of the existence of Lord Eckmond, there is almost no gossip about being banned within the alliance.

It was a blessing in disguise that Lord Ekmond could always catch a lot of spies from the outer planes or other forces who had been planted inside the alliance when he read the gossip.

Anyway, if you have a secret you better stay away from that nice looking old freak. "

"Of course, not everyone knows about your hobby. Ekmond would only share it with a very few friends. He told the news to my teacher Suriel, and Suriel told me about it."

Margaret speaks very fast.

Thanks to Matthew's high concentration, he listened to it without missing a word.

Suriel.

He noticed a very important name.

"No wonder Margaret said at the beginning that she didn't care about my identity. It turned out that she was a student of Suriel."

Suddenly, Matthew realized.

Suriel is one of the three Heaven-reaching Mages in the Alliance. It is said that she was on the same level as Isabel. Her current level may be a high-level legend or a divine mage. No one can be sure for the time being.

In short, she is on the same level as Isabel.

"I understand, but why don't you change back, the previous dress looks more comfortable to me."

Matthew said reluctantly.

no way.

The Temperance Domain told him that today he is here to learn dry goods, so let's talk about rewarding himself later.

Margaret didn't say anything, and quickly changed back.

next second.

Margaret's staff tapped again.

Behind her appeared a super-clear wall of light.

There are texts and pictures on the light wall, giving people a feeling of a slideshow.

"My crash course course is divided into two parts: theory and practice. The first two classes are about theory."

"Before engaging in formal battles, we must learn to judge what kind of enemy cannot be provoked, or in other words, we must learn to measure the combat effectiveness of the enemy and ourselves."

"As a mage, what attribute do you think is the most important?"

Accompanied by Margaret's sonorous and powerful narration.

On the slide behind her, several words with similar semantics or repeated words suddenly jumped out——

"money!"

"gold!"

"All resources or power that can be converted into gold coins!"

Matthew listened in silence.

Margaret said emphatically:

"Any mage who tells you that money doesn't matter, or that money isn't the most important thing, can be relegated to the ranks of combat waste.

I can tell you with certainty that below legends, gold coins can be converted into combat power in almost equal amounts;

And above the legend, I will only encourage you to make more money.

The most important attribute of a mage is wealth, there is no doubt about it.

If you still have doubts, then I will give you an example. "

talking.

Suddenly, something shiny appeared in Margaret's hand. At the same time, thousands of gold coins floated up behind her. These gold coins grew wings like butterflies and flew around her quickly.

In an instant.

The magic classroom scene where the two were in was quickly replaced by overwhelming rocks and magma.

Matthew couldn't help standing up.

He found himself standing on a crater!
The magma in the mountainside is brewing a new round of eruption, and the surrounding smoke is billowing.

Even more terrifying.

He also saw that on the other side of the mountain pass, there was a red dragon staring at it!
"What a real illusion!"

Matthew was amazed by the realism of the scene.

"All the illusion scenes you see are based on realistic data simulations. This is also the most valuable part of Suriel's magic classroom. If you are willing to spend money, you can even write the enemy's information into the storage scroll of this classroom, and then you can conduct simulation training here."

"Look carefully!"

Margaret introduced loudly, while striding towards the red dragon.

Realizing that the tiny creature dared to walk towards him, the red dragon raised his head angrily, and a bright yellow light bulged from his chest, obviously brewing a dragon's breath.

Margaret was unafraid.

She threw the dragon scale in her hand into the sky, and the thousands of gold coins collided with the dragon scale.

Eventually these things dissipated into the air.

Accompanied by Margaret's loud incantation.

A white and gold magic shield appeared beside her.

Matthew noticed.

The floating shield seemed to be able to defend only one direction, but fringe-like rays of light spread from all directions up, down, left, and right on the shield.

These rays interweave with each other to form a huge translucent egg-shaped structure that tightly wraps Marguerite inside.

The scorching dragon's breath sprayed over.

The shield faces up against it.

The scene was as if a jet of water hit a rock, and the flames were forced to disperse and spread around.

And Margaret herself was not affected in the slightest.

She's still striding toward the crater!
"Platinum Shield of Fei Capital"! "

"This spell can resist 360-degree attacks without dead ends. It is immune to all spells below the fifth level and physical attacks equal to the power of the fifth level spell. Even if the enemy smashes it with a legendary spell, as long as the platinum shield is not completely destroyed, it can slowly repair itself."

"It has a powerful force field inside, and anyone who wants to get close to you will be pushed away, including matter and fluid."

"With this spell, you can even lie in the magma and hit the hand of the mage!"

Finish this sentence.

Margaret jumped straight into the crater.

Matthew took a closer look.

Holding the egg-shaped structure, she lightly landed in the magma lake, and strode like flying on it like walking on flat ground!

The red dragon flew down angrily.

He bit the outer shell of the platinum shield, then raised his head, trying to swallow it, but the egg-shaped structure stuck his jaw in the end!

Margaret sat leisurely in the mouth of the red dragon, explaining to Matthew above:
"This spell is not difficult to learn. Under normal circumstances, a fourth-level mage can learn it;
If you have dabbled in the field of protection or the field of evocation, even the third level can be learned in advance.

Once the platinum shield of Fei Capital is released, it will provide you with continuous protection for 24 hours.

And its cooling time is one hour, so in theory, you can realize the perpetual sustainability of the platinum shield that costs capital.

Its pain point for most people is that the casting materials of platinum shield are very expensive.

Every time you use it, you need to consume [-] gold coins or the equivalent value of gold, plus a piece of dragon scale.

Also, this spell is not affected by material-free spellcasting abilities, so don't expect it to give you a discount either.

same.

As long as you are rich enough, you can also learn a legendary spell at the fifth level, that is "Fei Capital's Dragon Slayer Spear". "

"As the name suggests, the effect of this spell is to kill a giant dragon for you."

Margaret took out the staff slowly and tapped it a few times.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of times more gold coins than just now danced in the red dragon's mouth!
This scene left the red dragon dumbfounded and dazzled.

Under the guidance of the magic spell, the sky full of gold coins instantly turned into powder.

Immediately afterwards, a thick golden spear fell from the sky. It pierced the sky and pierced straight in from the crater.

boom!
The golden spear nailed the red dragon to death in the belly of the volcano.

The illusions around him began to slowly disappear.

The background of the familiar magic classroom appeared before Matthew's eyes.

Margaret's explanation continued:
"Fei Capital's dragon slaying gun doesn't need dragon scales or anything, but the premise is that you must consume 50 gold coins, or equivalent gold resources in one go."

"In the history of the alliance, the famous Mr. Fei Capital once used this spell to kill a black dragon that claimed to be immune to all magic. In the end, he not only successfully proved that the black dragon's magic immunity was a joke, but also proved that in his magic system, gold coins are indeed invincible."

"If you are proficient in capital-intensive spells and rich, then even legends may be dismissed by you."

"Of course, this spell is notoriously uneconomical.

That time in history, Mr. Fei Capital sacrificed a small gold mine he found in a sub-plane, and the proceeds from finally killing the black dragon provided him with an income of about [-] gold coins.

This is not directly proportional to his contribution.

Afterwards, he deliberately counted the wealth of the giant dragons, and found that most of the dragons' net worth ranged from 20 gold coins to 20 gold coins.

Because they lack the ability to compound interest, it is difficult to truly become rich.

In contrast, the devil lord in purgatory or some monsters in the astral world are much richer than the dragon.

If you are interested in this part of the content, you can buy the magic textbook written by Mr. Fei Capital.

Of course, his textbooks also have the same name as him, and they don't save much money. "

"After all this, I just want you to understand a truth. If you meet a rich mage who also belongs to the alliance, then try not to fight against him unless you are richer than him."

"In addition, if you want to quickly improve your combat effectiveness, then making money is the best way. Open Fei Capital's spell textbook, and you will find a whole new world."

After saying this, Margaret made herself a cup of black tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Matthew showed a wry smile when he heard this.

Margaret immediately asked:

"What? Look down on this fighting style?"

Matthew shook his head and said:
"I'm not very rich."

Margaret paid no attention:

"No one is born rich. A mage is a profession that can create miracles. I am just telling you the importance of money. It is almost everything a mage has, but it cannot completely replace the mage himself."

"Throughout the history of the alliance, every legendary mage is a master at making money. If you are naturally not sensitive to money, I am afraid that your legendary path will be very bumpy."

When Matthew heard this, his heart moved:
"What about your Excellency? I heard that you are also stepping into the legend."

For the first time, a helpless expression appeared on Margaret's face:
"I have been rejected by Legend for ten years, and I still haven't found the right opportunity.

Don't look at what I'm saying, but I'm actually not good at making money at all.

The relationship between the legendary mage and money I just said——

It is a portrayal of myself.

I'm a magician, a real genius.

But I really don't know how to make money. I still rely on teachers to help me when I get to A1, and I still have to earn some knowledge points by teaching others.

Maybe you think I'm making excuses, but this is my heartfelt experience -

So, Matthew, if you want to be a legendary mage, get yourself rich first. "

No wonder the mages in the alliance are one by one, and those who can be corrupt are not clean.

Unexpectedly, there is such a sky-defying mage like Fei Capital who directly equates gold coins with combat power.

Matthew nodded mixedly.

"Today's class ends here on time tomorrow at the same time. I don't like waiting for others."

"As for homework, write an article on how to make money and leave it to me tomorrow."

Margaret confessed in a hurry.

Matthew was stunned:

"This is the end?"

Margaret replied:
"if not?"

"Every section of my class is the essence, of course I can continue to talk about it, but can you digest it?"

"You can't chew too much. Remember to do your homework well. If I use your method to make money, I will reward you."

Her attitude is also frank.

Matthew asked curiously:

"What's the reward?"

Margaret suddenly showed a disgusted expression:

"You don't really want to lick my toes do you?"

Matthew quickly denied it.

Unexpectedly, Marguerite said to herself:
"It's not impossible."

Matthew was full of question marks.

"I heard you had a conflict with Blinken?"

Margaret asked suddenly.

Matthew thought for a while and replied cautiously:
"There were a few skirmishes, but nothing really broke out."

"That's a pity."

Margaret said to him:
"If you see him next time, please be sure to beat him to death! If you can agree to my request, I can even give you a detailed introduction to Blinken's specific information and fighting habits."

Matthew asked:
"Do you have any grudge against him?"

Margaret replied flatly:
"There is no such thing as deep hatred."

"But he's my ex-boyfriend."

"If you can kill him, I will give you real sweetness."

……

When leaving the Crucible House.

Matthew was still buzzing.

He has long realized the importance of money to mages.

But Margaret's explanation today opened the door to a new world for him.

after class.

Matthew went straight to Isabel's laboratory and exchanged a lot of points for several spell textbooks written by Fei Capital himself, which also included a list of Fei Capital's series of spells.

It is worth mentioning that.

Matthew noticed that the exchange frequency of these textbooks is not high, which means that the Fei Capital series of spells are rarely used in the alliance.

He glanced at the list, and the learning cost of a single spell marked on it was not higher than other spells.

However, the feature that casting spells needs to consume gold coins still discourages most people.

Matthew has neither the plan nor the ability to take the road of costing capital.

But he still understands the truth of knowing yourself and the enemy, and winning a hundred battles.

He is now studying these techniques in order to have a little resistance when he meets krypton gold players one day.

Walk the streets of the Mage Quarter.

The early summer wind was blowing on Matthew's face.

while walking.

He slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Oops!"

Matthew suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.
