Chapter 94 Please check your consumables before entering the dungeon
The next day, Mo Cheng met up with Margaret at Winterhold College, and as soon as they met, they exchanged supplies.
"One bottle of [Special Effect] Mental Power Potion, five bottles of [Strong Effect] Mental Power Potion. Be careful when using them. They are not of [Ordinary] quality as before. You can't drink them all at once."
It was beyond his expectation that Margaret could get a mental potion of such quality. Ordinary quality potions, even higher-level meditation potions or starlight potions, would be easy for Margaret to get with her ability.
However, for Mo Cheng, who is only at the fifth level, those high-level potions are considered over-supplements, and something bad might happen if he drinks them.
To some extent, higher-quality potions are more difficult to obtain than ordinary-quality advanced potions. Strong-effect and special-effect potions will greatly stimulate the potion's own effectiveness and give the user an additional boost, which is commonly known as [BUFF].
In the [Foreign Land], these bottles of mental power potions can be called BUFF medicines.
"Ten bottles of Glimmer Ointment, all of which are of the [Special Effect] grade. I compared them, and six bottles of Mental Power Potion are exactly the same size as ten bottles of Glimmer Ointment. Applying them to the wound will make it heal faster, and at the same time increase your blood flow, slightly increasing your strength and speed, but the increase is not significant for you."
"Also, this stuff is concentrated. It's okay for you to use it, but if you need to give it to other people, you must dilute it with water, otherwise there will be big problems."
The ten bottles of glimmer ointment in his hand took Mo Cheng a lot of time to make. It was all based on his long-term experience in making glimmer ointment, plus the very good quality of the materials on hand.
Even in the [Foreign Land], Mo Cheng, a poor monk who had no money to buy medicine, often made glimmer ointment, and the quality of [Special Effects] was the limit.
The creator had produced [Super Effective] and [Extremely Effective] Glimmer Ointments, but that was only possible because many people contributed high-quality magic props and the creator was familiar with the formula.
Those portions were distributed to the players who contributed the most to the recipe at that time, as a commemoration of everyone's hard work.
After the two of them distributed the supplies for this trip, they walked straight to the tallest and largest mage tower at Winterhold College under the guidance of Margaret.
"Mister Muzel is going to the Arcane Council today to attend a hearing on the funding for the next quarter's experimental projects. Of course, we can't trouble him with our affairs. There is another archmage in the Mage Tower to help us open the magic circle."
Mo Cheng listened and nodded silently. The inquiry of experimental project funds was a reserved project for mages from various countries every quarter. The projects of mages were very expensive, and no country was willing to invest in mages without a bottom line, so someone had to supervise the inquiries about the projects and the quotations for the required materials and equipment.
After all, mages also take kickbacks.
The reason for asking Archmage Muzel to attend the hearing was very simple. With him around, those mages whose projects had been banned would at most rush up and engage in hand-to-hand combat, and would not use any powerful spells to create explosions or more troublesome situations.
And according to gossip, 30% of the funds for the projects banned at the hearing will be given to Archmage Muzel as funds to start new projects.
The two of them walked up the stairs in the Mage Tower. Although he heard that Mage Muzel was not there, Mo Cheng still wisely put his hands in his pockets and tried not to touch the things around him as much as possible.
The dense magical lights here almost blinded his eyes, and there was an lingering sense of crisis in the air, like a blind man riding a blind horse, facing the abyss in the middle of the night.
Given the distance between Fairhaven and the Mage Tower, Mo Cheng had reason to believe that if anyone really intended to break into Archmage Muzel's empty portal, he would only be scared to death when he saw the Archmage coming back with the space portal.
"Detecting two humanoids entering a restricted area, query, confirmed. Margaret Lauren Frost, level 3 clearance."
A mechanical voice without any emotion suddenly sounded, and a pale blue human figure appeared in front of Margaret. "Ms. Margaret, I am Gilman, the magic tower spirit. Your appointment is ready . Please follow me."
After saying that, the blue magic Tatar spirit led the way in front. Along the way, Mo Cheng could see that many magic lights went out as Gilman passed by, and then lit up again after they passed by.
The Magic Tower Spirit, to put it simply is the experimental assistant and magic steward of the Grand Wizard Muzel. It has more than 90% control authority over the Magic Tower and is the core hub and artificial intelligence of the entire Magic Tower.
In this magic tower, Gilman is more powerful than Skynet and Red Queen.
I was taken into a room where someone was already waiting. The magic tower spirit said in its emotionless mechanical voice, "Director Dorothy, I'll leave it to you next."
"Okay, I'll help you start the magic circle. Really, not only are you not giving the Starry Sky Department more funding, you're also making me work overtime on my day off."
Mo Cheng listened lazily but heard a familiar complaining voice. Wasn't that the female mage who was selling star contracts in [Voice of the Starry Sky] and whose crystal ball was blown up by him?
"Negative. There has been no bachelor's degree selection for teachers in the Star Department for three years, and no students have graduated early or with high scores for five years . The Star Department does not meet the regulations for increasing funds."
Gilman's words only give people the impression of stating things without any personal emotions, but this type of words is particularly convincing because it really explains things to you bit by bit according to regulations and past performance.
Dorothy rolled her eyes, walked up to Margaret and stretched out her hand, saying, "Here, it's the causal object that will lead you to a certain period of history in the past."
When handing over the Dawn Wind, Dorothy also saw Mo Cheng behind Margaret. Her eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and then suddenly a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on her face.
Dorothy said nothing, but used her fingertips to draw streaks of starlight in the air. In the daytime without any clouds, she performed starry sky magic on the spot.
"A door will appear in a moment. After you go in, don't worry about what you see or hear, just keep going forward. Only by going straight can you reach your destination. If you take the wrong route, you will get lost in space, and you will have to ask the principal to rescue you."
While drawing complicated magic patterns, he told the two of them some precautions, "Leave this sword here to serve as the anchor point for the two of you to return. In addition, the setting for returning to the present time is that the two of you are within five meters and recite the key sentence together."
"Okay, the [door] and [passage] are ready, you can go now."
A blue portal suddenly appeared in the air. Margaret and Mo Cheng looked at each other, nodded, and walked in.
