Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 16 The High-end Forum Takes Shape

Phil Holden, a high-level wizard who is well versed in fire elemental magic, sat in front of the "magic brain" early in the morning with full of anticipation.

He took out a crystal clear charging magic stone from the storage box and put it into the instrument slot nimbly.

Then he skillfully tapped out his forum code name - "Son of Flame" on the typing keys.

The mercury tadpoles on the crystal plate twisted, and familiar words slowly appeared before his eyes.

Since it is not the agreed forum exchange meeting every Friday night, there are not many people online in "Magic Brain" at the moment.

Everyone was lazily sending out small chats, either greetings or gossip.

Fair didn't want to waste time getting involved, so he pressed the button and entered a new function interface that had been opened a few days ago.

Yes, in addition to the "Chat Room", the forum now also has a new "Information Exchange" section.

Currently, there are only a few messages in this section. The red-haired wizard flipped through the interface and quickly found the one he posted yesterday.

[Son of Flame: Seeking an alchemical potion formula that can significantly increase mental strength and completely replace sleep. Trading points can be negotiated based on the potency.]

Someone replied! Feier was delighted to find three reply messages had appeared below.

[Frost Giant: Others are looking for potions, but you're asking directly for the formula. Do you think the alchemical formula for a high-level potion grows out of the ground?]

"That piece of shit again!" Fair's face flushed instantly. "Don't let me know your real name, or I'll hang you from the bell tower and roast you from head to toe!"

[Heart of the Forest: I have a recipe for a potion with similar effects, but it's not as potent as you requested. It can indeed significantly boost your mental strength, but it's an overdraft type, and there will be a period of weakness after the effects wear off... 50 points, no bargaining accepted.]

[Earth-loving One: I also have a formula that will keep you from feeling tired for three days. The side effect is thirst, so you'll need to drink plenty of water. Uh, you can try taking it together with the potion provided by the above person. 20 points. Of course, if you're willing to give me feedback on the effects of taking both potions together, I can give you a % discount.]

"Good boy, you're planning to use me to test the medicine." Fair said angrily.

He also knew that his request was a bit excessive, but the imminent magical experiment did require sacrificing a lot of sleep time and mental energy.

It seems that I have no choice but to wait until the forum discussion time on Friday night and ask the mysterious and powerful "Administrator Turing" Mr.

These inhuman ancient beings often have rich collections and may contain clues to higher-level formulas.

"Points, points, we need to accumulate a lot of points now."

Fair muttered to himself as he concentrated on reading the paid messages in the "Information Exchange" section.

Unfortunately, none of them are in the areas of knowledge that I am good at.

He subconsciously flipped to the last one, saw the title and clicked on it curiously.

[Man in the Mirror: Seeking an enchanted item imbued with a rich energy of death. Any type of effect is acceptable, preferably mid-level or higher quality. Price is negotiable based on the item's value.]

"Could this guy be one of those necrophiles or necromancers who likes to play with the bodies of the dead?" Fair thought with a hint of evil taste.

However, unlike the orthodox conservatives in the union, he did not discriminate against this special group.

He believed that necromancy was just one of the many ways of expressing magical energy. It just looked a little disgusting, but there was no difference in essence.

"Wait! I seem to have a real undead artifact!" The fire mage slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered his dusty collections.

He stood up, ran downstairs, and entered his warehouse at the bottom of the Mage Tower.

"Where, where, where! That disgusting moldy skull!"

He completely ignored the dust and cobwebs on his hands as he quickly searched through the pile of sealed boxes. "Ah! I found it! I thought I had flushed it down the drain."

Holding up the skull that he still had some impression of with satisfaction, Fair finally remembered that this thing was the one he despised the most among the many trophies he had obtained when he was stationed in the Evil Moon Mountains more than ten years ago.

A demon priest was hit head-on by the fourth-level spell created by his teacher - "Dragon Flame Scorching Spell", and was burned to the point that only a skull was left.

Fair discovered that the remaining skull of the demon priest exuded a strong energy of death. Although it could not be used directly as an enchanted weapon, it could assist the necromancer who also used death energy to cast high-level spells.

However, necromancers are generally poor, and there is no necromancer in the garrison who can afford to buy this head.

In the end, he had to abandon it in the warehouse, where it has been covered in dust ever since.

"Tsk, but how do I trade it to the person in the mirror?" Fair felt that he had encountered a new problem.

Necromancers are low-key and cautious, always hiding in the mountains or remote areas, and generally do not have frequent contact with other spellcasters.

"I wonder if this 'person in the mirror' would be willing to reveal his real address so I can mail it to him."

……

Ever since arranging Reiner and hunter Pierce to go into the mountains to hunt down those evil orcs.

Harvey finally didn't have to endure the rough mountain roads, and he could spare some time to continue researching and upgrading his own magic network forum.

After the first forum exchange meeting ended last Friday, he urgently drew a matrix and created an "information exchange" section.

Provide the first batch of spellcasters who participate with a platform to earn points and freely exchange knowledge.

As of yesterday, these spellcasters were invited to the forum in the early stage.

Except for three people who were in a "lurking" state and did not participate in the discussion at all.

The "Information Exchange" section has already facilitated two information transactions.

"Those three diving monsters might be in a sensitive state because of their identities, so they are still on the sidelines." Harvey finally came to a relatively reliable conclusion.

I hope that after a few more exchanges, they will gradually relax their guard.

However, the points-based transaction system will be ineffective if it is not combined with an item delivery transaction system that is also highly confidential.

It is always a castle in the air. As the number of participants gradually increases, this virtual currency system is prone to devaluation and collapse.

The next priority is to develop an item delivery function as quickly as possible that can deliver items as quickly as communication and cannot be tracked.

"It seems that I have to venture into the magic network again to study and observe the design of the magic trajectory and matrix graphics..."

Harvey thought of the unknown dim magic pattern he encountered when he first roamed the magic network.

And what happened afterwards was the dangerous situation where the other party disguised himself as a swallow and tried to track him back.

"We have to find a way to avoid this sudden danger. Before the next exchange meeting, I'll use the smurf account I registered in advance to explore the forum and see if I can find a way to safely roam the magic network."

Harvey turned on a spare "magic brain" instrument.

He tapped the keys skillfully and published his own "information transaction" information.

[Kel'Thuzad: We will soon be conducting research involving the Leyline plane. We are currently seeking a method to provide early warning or defense against unknown dangers. Any form is welcome. Interested parties are welcome to quote freely.]
