Above the mage!

Chapter 400 [Identification Technique]

While being shocked, everyone kept moving their hands, controlling the alchemical machine and dragging the black-winged snake onto the dock.

Its huge body coiled and stacked together, emitting a strong fishy smell.

The huge wound on the head is even more amazing, and one can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.

"Master Mage is so mighty!" Some people couldn't help but praise him.

"This is a second-level earth vein creature. The master is so young, but he is already a second-ring wizard." Someone else lamented this.

Under normal circumstances, the only one who can kill a second-level earth vein creature is a second-ring mage.

So there is nothing wrong with this understanding.

Of course, Gaode will not specifically explain or correct it.

Just thinking about the fact that he had actually killed a powerful second-level earth vein creature, Gao De couldn't help but touch Bei Feng's hilt lightly.

This is different from Aldrich's "counterfeit second-ring mage". The Black-winged Scaled Snake is a genuine second-level ferocious creature with considerable combat power.

Although he relied on the power of Zhenbing Mowu, no matter how you look at it, he already had the power to kill a second-level earth vein creature alone.

At the level of a first-ring wizard.

In a mage system with clear levels, the sense of accomplishment of accomplishing such a feat is no less than solving the last question on the college entrance examination math paper.

While feeling happy, Gaode was even more impressed by Sunaifa's power.

It is already so difficult for one ring to defeat two levels, let alone the even bigger and more difficult four rings defeating five rings.

I don’t know if I will be able to possess such incredible strength in the future.

At least from the current perspective, it is very reluctant.

But it’s hard to say.

Because every time a level is upgraded, the newly awakened expertise will give the mage a chance to “leap over the dragon gate”.

Perhaps the next time he levels up, he will awaken some incredible combat expertise.

"This snake monster has appeared several times recently, making everyone very scared. As a result, you chopped it off on the first day you came! It really solved a big problem for us!"

"A sea sentinel mage is a sea sentinel mage. He knows whether there is any right or wrong as soon as he makes a move."

"."

Over here, those people were still expressing their feelings.

Listening to their discussions, Gao De smiled slightly.

I have to say, looking at their shocked eyes and their flattering words, I felt really good.

There is no one who doesn't like to be praised, especially when it comes with genuine feelings.

"Help me deal with its body and send it to me," Gao De said, giving his address, and then said, "As for the snake meat, each of you can take five pounds."

This is what remuneration means.

If you ask someone for help, you naturally have to pay them.

When everyone present heard Gao De's words, their eyes lit up.

The flesh and blood of second-level earth vein creatures are very valuable.

Snake meat is very nutritious, so its price should be raised to a higher level.

"Thank you, Master Mage!"

"Leave it to us!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely handle it properly for you!"

As for Gaode now
He first took out the capybara bag, called softly to the lake, and put away the dumplings.

then
Go back and have a good sleep!
Return to the hotel.

Gaode took off his blood-stained clothes and then removed the rune structure.

There was a bruise on his chest, the color of which was almost black.

Before its death, the black-winged snake swung its tail with great force and power, landing directly on Goder's chest.

Even with the dual protection of shield magic and rune construction, he was still seriously injured by the powerful force of the second-level earth vein creature.

As soon as he confirmed that the black-winged snake was dead, Gaode cast a healing spell on himself.

But even so, the skin at the bruise is still swollen.

With every breath, Gao De could feel waves of sharp pain in his chest, like a blunt knife cutting flesh.

Gao De knew that light therapy alone was not enough.

He had an idea and mobilized the little magic power left in his body to cast [Divine Berry +].

The gem berries created by [Divine Berry Technique+] also have healing effects.

After obtaining the Gem Sweet Berries, Gode stuffed them into his mouth one by one, eating eight Gem Sweet Berries in a row. He stopped only after reaching the limit.

A warm force was already spreading in his chest.

Afterwards, he mobilized his magic power again and cast a [Comfortable Sleep +] on himself.

As the spell took effect, a warm and comfortable feeling enveloped him, his body gradually relaxed, and his tense nerves slowly soothed.

He could no longer hold on, so he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

During comfortable sleep, Gaode's natural recovery speed from injuries will be doubled.

Moreover, when he suffered frostbite, [Adaptation] also increased his body's injury recovery ability to 79.6%.

This is equivalent to a quadruple buff.

Therefore, after Gao De fell asleep, the color of the bruises on his chest, visible to the naked eye, began to gradually lighten, from nearly black to dark purple, then to purple-red, until finally it regained some blood color.

The swelling also began to subside slowly.

Gao De was awakened by a knock on the door.

However, it had been almost six hours since he went to bed, and even if no one disturbed him, he would wake up naturally soon.

It's the sheriff's department.

After working for most of the day, they finally finished dissecting the huge body of the black-winged snake and sent it to Gao De according to the address he gave.

The black-winged snake is six or seven meters long. Not to mention anything else, the pieces of meat alone weigh more than six hundred kilograms.

Of course, the most valuable thing is the scales on the black-winged snake. In addition, the gall of the black-winged snake is also an excellent material for potions, and the same is true for its blood.

This black-winged snake has edible meat and is very abundant, so its total value is roughly over five hundred Plantagenet coins.

——Killing monsters is always extremely profitable.

But in most cases, these earth vein creatures live in the wilderness.

Even if the mage kills them, without the legendary space storage equipment, he can only collect some of the higher-value and lighter parts of the earth vein creatures according to his own load-bearing capacity and bring them back to the city to sell.

Gaode has done the same thing before.

But this time it's different.

When clearing out aquatic beasts in inland waters close to cities, there are usually boats as a means of transportation, which makes transportation convenient, so most of the killed aquatic beasts can be brought back intact.

Gao De thanked the "deliverymen" and gave each of them a pound of snake meat as a thank you.

Afterwards, he placed the goods in the room and took some "samples" with him.

But it’s not about going out to eat.

After eating eight sweet gem berries, he wouldn't be hungry for at least the whole day.

Gao De went out to find buyers for the snake meat.

He could take snake scales and other things back to Dorne and put them in his own Walmart magic materials store and sell them slowly.

But snake meat weighs more than 600 kilograms and is not easy to carry.

Moreover, this thing is not like snake scales which can be stored for half a year and still be fine. Instead, the fresher it is, the better the price.

The edible meat of underground creatures has no problem selling in big cities like Brost City.

There are many wealthy people in the area who like this kind of food.

So Gaode only visited two high-end restaurants and sold all the snake meat except for keeping a little for Tuanzi to change the taste.

The average price per pound is as high as 5 silver royals, which means that there are already Plantagenet coins in the account.

Adding the military merit that will soon be obtained, the total income from this mission will definitely be over 800 Plantagenet Coins.

Since the mission had been completed, Godd did not stay in Brost any longer.

He spent half a day walking around the city and found more than ten new tree species that he had not collected before.

Godd checked out of the room, took bags of supplies, and boarded the earliest airship back to Dorne.

White Tower of the Sea Abyss.

Supplies Department.

"Delivery mission." Gao De walked in with a swagger and placed a bulging cloth bag on the table.

Old Neil heard the voice, looked up, and found it was Godard. He was a little surprised: "You came back so soon? You did a good job on this mission."

He had worked in the Logistics Department for so many years, and he knew that in most cases, a mission like clearing out water beasts would take at least seven or eight days from acceptance to delivery.

Gao De accepted the task on the afternoon of the 1st of Chunya Month, and now it is only the morning of the 4th, but he has already returned.

Even the observation period for the [Crab Disaster Hazard] mission he had completed previously had not yet ended.

This extraordinary efficiency made him feel somewhat unbelievable.

While sighing, Old Neil skillfully untied the cloth bag and "inspected the goods".

As the bag was opened, a hideous triangular head came into view.

A pair of dark green vertical pupils makes people feel scared.

The top of the head was a mess, with broken scales and coagulated blood intertwined and white bones exposed. One can imagine what kind of tremendous damage and blow it had suffered before death.

"This is..." Looking at the huge triangular head, Old Neil opened his mouth slightly, "Second-order black-winged scale snake? Did you kill it?"

Not only did they complete the task within three days, but they also exceeded the target?

Thinking back to the last time Gao De defeated Erhuan Aldridge and won three second-class merits in one fell swoop, he thought it was a matter of luck.
Once it could be luck.

Twice, then there is an inevitable factor.

Old Neil couldn't help but look Goder up and down.

How can a grassroots wizard accomplish things that even noble wizards find difficult to do?

"I killed it. Mage Neil may not know that the expertise I awakened when I was promoted to the first ring is related to combat, which is particularly restrained against underground creatures, so killing monsters is much easier for me."

Gao De revealed some information half-truthfully, attributing his ability to defeat enemies of higher levels in succession to his expertise.

This is the universal explanation.

Because the awakening of expertise is so random, no one knows what kind of expertise a mage can awaken and what he can do with the expertise.

Old Neil still found it a little unbelievable.

It is generally acknowledged that expertise is important, but he actually feels that it is unlikely that a single expertise can allow Gao De to overcome Sen Ming's level suppression.

At this time, Gao De smiled shyly at Old Neil and said, "Does this count as a second-class merit?"

Old Neil was silent for a moment, flipped through the task list, checked it carefully, nodded, and confirmed: "According to the task classification, you will be awarded a second-class merit."

Gao De smiled.

Although it was not as rewarding as the last time when he won three second-class merits in one go, that mission was more complicated after all, and there were additional rewards.

He was already very satisfied to get a second-class merit.

On the Sea Sentinel's second-class merit exchange list, except for the Divine Berry Spell, the exchange price of all other rare first-level spell formulas is the same as one second-class merit.

This is equivalent to obtaining another rare spell recipe.

"Oh, and this." He took out the head of the sawtooth pufferfish that he killed on the first night at Lake Elsmere. Compared to the basilisk, it was much smaller. "In addition to this second-level black-winged snake, I also accidentally found a first-level sawtooth pufferfish, so I killed it."

Mage Neil picked up the sawtooth pufferfish's head, examined it carefully, and then said, "First-level sawtooth pufferfish, I'll give you a third-class merit."

Gao De nodded with satisfaction.

Little by little, it adds up to a lot. When you have enough third-class merits, you can exchange them for spell recipes.

Old Neil had already taken out a piece of parchment from the drawer and began to carefully record Gaode's military achievements this time.

After a while, Old Neil, who had finished taking notes, looked up and found that Gao De had not left yet.

"Anything else?"

"Master Neil, I want to use this second-class merit to exchange for the spell formula of [Identification]." Gao De made his exchange request.

The last time he browsed the exchange list, he had already made arrangements for the spell formula he was going to exchange next.

Therefore, as soon as he got the military merit, Gao De did not need to think twice and immediately made a request for redemption.

Master Neil was slightly stunned.

There are actually not many mages like Gao De who use their military merits immediately after they get them.

However, he reacted quickly, wrote the exchange form, asked Gaode to sign it, and then called the staff to take Gaode's task record and exchange request for review.

About half an hour later, the staff member came back with the spell formula that Gaode needed.

"Thank you." After getting the spell formula, Gao De thanked him and left the supply department. Then he turned around and went straight to the finance office to get reimbursed.

Old Neil picked up the military merit record that had passed the review and stood up.

He went to the archives room inside the Logistics Department and found Gao De's military merit book.

This military merit book is still very new.

Old Neil put this new record of military merit in it.

"Second-class merit, I will get it again soon."

Somehow, the words that Gao De said last time when he exchanged his second-class merit for an ordinary first-level spell formula suddenly flashed in his ears.

At that time, he also wanted to advise Gao De that the second-class merit was not that easy to get.

However, considering the three second-class merits, he ultimately kept the words of advice to himself.

And now, Gaode has verified that his "bold words" at that time were not empty talk.

"His momentum is much more powerful than that of Master Jaden back then." Old Neil murmured to himself.

Jaden’s sudden rise that year made many people think that he would eventually enter “Bright Sentinel”.

But the final development of things was far beyond his expectations.

So much so that when another "Jaden" appeared, Old Neil's first reaction was to be a little worried.

But he couldn't say what he was worried about.

The lobby on the first floor of the Mage Tower.

After completing the reimbursement, Gaode once again stood in front of the crystal board to select a task.

But the good luck ran out.

This time, none of the tasks listed on the crystal board were something he could take on.

The above tasks have level restrictions, and the lowest is limited to a second-ring mage.

In fact, this is the normal situation.

Among the mage group, the number of first-ring mages is definitely far greater than that of second-ring mages.

But in Sea Sentinel, it’s the other way around.

Here, second-ring mages are the most numerous.

In this environment, it is common for a first-level mage to have no tasks to do.

First, for tasks of this level, the local sheriff's office can often handle them on its own and does not have to be reported to the Sea Sentinel.

Secondly, because tasks of this level are rare, the competition is more intense. Everyone is scrambling to do them, and there are even fewer vacancies.

In most cases, in order to ensure the efficiency and success rate of mission completion, Sea Sentinel missions will be evaluated and subject to strict level restrictions before being released.

If you don't reach the required level, you will never be able to accept the mission.

However, the Sea Sentinels also took into consideration that some individual mages might be too powerful and possess cross-level combat abilities.

Therefore, in addition to the strict level restrictions, there is an additional loophole: military rank.

As long as either the mage level or the military rank meets the requirement, you can accept the mission.

For example, most missions that are limited to mages of level two or above can be accepted, but as long as the rank reaches warrant officer or above, you can accept the mission regardless of the level requirement.

Of course, this is not what Gao De, a first-class trainee wizard, should think about now.

He has a good attitude.

There is no task to take today, so I'll go back and calm down first!
