Chapter 303: Advanced Earth Spells, Changes in the Baron's Mansion! (6200)

Cao Xing glanced at the figures of more than thirty mage apprentices.

Among these people there are both men and women.

Except for an old man who looked a little old.

The others looked young, around fifteen or sixteen to twenty years old.

They all wore dark brown wizard robes, with a wide brown leather belt around their waists and a few small cloth bags hanging from them, which contained some materials needed for spellcasting.
Compared to the fair skin of most races in this world, their skin is wheat-colored and looks very healthy.

Cao Xing nodded, then looked at the attributes of these mages.

[Talent: Magic Affinity]

(Character introduction: An honorary mage from the Yudia Mage Association who has practiced earth magic for many years and has studied in the Mage Holy Tower. He has mastered advanced earth magic that few mages can master.)
...

After reading the attributes of these earth-type mages, Cao Xing gradually felt happy.

Compared to mages of the same level, their attributes and skills are very good!

The two skills, [Earth Elemental Shield] and [Earth Spikes], not only deal damage but also have the ability to protect themselves.

After becoming an elite creature, you can also learn a skill to summon a rock golem.

And that leader-level honorary mage is even more awesome!

He actually has two abnormal skills: [Earth Devouring] and [Advanced Spell·Rock Barrier].

The former not only takes into account control, but also has a certain effect of instantly killing enemies.

The latter's advanced spell is even more perverted, it can actually work on the city walls!
Directly increase 300 points of armor and 3 points of durability!

What is this concept?
You know, even the intermediate frost wall only has 240 armor and 6000 durability!
This time, the improvement is more than doubled!
So powerful!
However, what worries Cao Xing is whether this [Advanced Spell] can be blessed by [Eternal Power]?
If you can, that would be awesome!
In the future, even if you build a primary city wall casually, it will be more durable than a mid-level city wall.

Cao Xing decided to let the honorary mage named Tairen give it a try later.

"Welcome, apprentices from the Yudia Mage Association. Let us work together to build a territory full of magic!"

Hearing Cao Xing's solemn voice, all the earth mages raised their heads.

Including the old wizard Terran, they were also looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

One of the mage apprentices asked cautiously, "I can sense that you have a very strong magical fluctuation. Are you also a mage?"

Cao Xing nodded, "That's right."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately released the magical aura in his body!
In an instant, the temperature around dropped sharply!

The horrible cold even made people feel their bodies stiffen.

Seeing this scene, not only the more than 30 earth mages on the field, but even the old mage Terran, showed shock in their eyes!

The mage apprentices were amazed.

"Goddess of the Earth, this lord's magical power is so vast, you must be a powerful ice mage!"

"Yes, the aura of this lord is almost reaching the level of a great wizard..."

"Great!"

As fellow mages, these earth mages have a natural affinity for Cao Xing.

In addition, with a powerful BUFF, his current strength can indeed be regarded as a fifth-level magician.

Seeing how honest these earth mages were, Cao Xing also started laughing.

"Starting today, you will be under the jurisdiction of these two mages. They will teach you the rules of this territory and familiarize you with the environment of this territory."

Although the old wizard looks powerful and steady, it is best to have him lead the team.

But in this territory, Cao Xing trusts these two wizard ladies more.

After hearing this, the mage apprentices all turned their eyes to Sylvia and Ellie.

One of the two girls was eager to try, while the other grabbed the staff timidly.

The earth mage apprentices nodded again and said, "I sensed that these two are also powerful intermediate mages!"

"From now on, I hope the two masters of magic will give me more guidance!"

These earth mages are all relatively calm and easy to talk to.

So it seems that there are no difficult troublemakers among this group of people.

Even the old wizard remained silent and didn't seem to be very talkative.

Seeing this, Sylvia and Ellie also breathed a sigh of relief.

Sylvia chuckled and said, "With our magical attainments, we may not be able to teach you too much about magic practice."

"But if you want to learn more spells, you can go with us to the Mage Tower to meditate and study."

After hearing this, the mage apprentices also looked behind them, at the three-story tower that was more than ten meters high.

In an instant, the attention of all the mage apprentices was drawn to it.

"This is actually a wizard's tower! In our Yudia Wizard Association, only those adults who are mid-level wizards or above can occasionally use the wizard's tower!"

“I didn’t expect there would be one here!”

"Oh my god, what kind of territory have we come to?"

Even with their calm personalities, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this moment!
They also heard what Sylvia had just said, and they were pleasantly surprised and said, "Great, we can actually go to such a sacred place for further study in the future!"

"That's right, we will be able to become junior mages soon!"

At this moment, the old wizard in high-level robes stood up.

He spoke for the first time: "Apprentices, I understand your surprise at seeing the Mage Tower."

"But you should know that this sacred building cannot be used casually. Even for me, I have to apply to the Mage Association to get a certain amount of usage time."

"Don't act rashly in front of these two wizards and the powerful lord."

This old wizard has extremely high prestige among this group of wizard apprentices.

Seeing this, the other earth mages bowed their heads and responded in unison: "Yes, respected Lord Terran."

Cao Xing felt a little confused.

"In your Mage Association, there are such rules?"

"Yes, your Excellency."

Then, the earth magician lady explained it to him.

Before being summoned, these people were all mage apprentices of the Yudia Mage Association.

The power structure of each mage association is relatively complex.

In addition to the elders, committees, and logistics resources department.

It is composed of a large number of mage apprentices, junior mages, intermediate mages, senior mages and even honorary mages.

Unlike Cao Xing, they can kill monsters and level up.

Before joining the ranks of those lords, the mages of this world can only improve themselves by constantly absorbing the magic power between heaven and earth.

But this speed is definitely not comparable to theirs.

Normally, if a wizard apprentice wants to be promoted to a junior wizard, in addition to learning a lot of spell knowledge, he also needs to reach a certain level of magic power.

It will take at least four or five years.

The upgrade from a junior mage to an intermediate mage is shorter because the foundation has already been laid during the mage apprenticeship stage.

But it will take about three or four years.

With the Mage Tower, their breakthrough speed will be greatly accelerated.

For all mages, the Mage Tower is like a holy place, and they wish they could stay in it 24 hours a day.

However, since there are a limited number of meditation rooms, it is naturally impossible for the Mage Associations to allow every mage to use them indefinitely.

Don’t even think about becoming a mage apprentice, just focus on laying a solid foundation.

After listening to this, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

Those mage associations have a large number of people and limited resources, so it is normal to limit the users of the mage tower.

But it’s different here with Cao Xing. There are not many mages in his territory.

So the meditation room in the mage tower is basically empty.

Then he winked at Sylvia.

The mage understood what Cao Xing meant, and then stood up and said, "Don't worry, in our territory, as long as you are a subject of the lord, you can use the mage tower at any time."

"It's okay even if you sleep in there."

However, when the group of earth-type mage apprentices heard these words, it was as if they were hearing some kind of fairy tale.

A junior mage named Ma Lin asked tentatively, "My Lord, is what this mage said true?"

She knew who was in charge here.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "That's right."

After receiving the lord's personal confirmation, all the mage apprentices held their breath.

Even with their calm personalities, they couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.

"Oh my god, we might have really arrived in the wizard's paradise!"

"It's incredible that even mage apprentices like us can use the Mage Tower."

"With the help of the Mage Tower, I feel I can become a junior mage in one or two years." These mage apprentices were extremely excited.

Including the old wizard, there was deep surprise in their eyes.

Look at their excited expressions.

Sylvia and Ellie smiled at each other.

They could understand these people's feelings. After all, they also started out as mage apprentices.

It is with the help of their lord that they have achieved their current strength.

If they had been able to study in the Mage Tower when they were weak, they would have become junior mages long ago.

Sylvia continued: "But there is something I need to tell you in advance."

"Since the territory is still in the development stage, our Mage Tower is only elementary, and there is still a big gap between it and the Mage Holy Tower in the Association."

"Don't be disappointed."

However, these mage apprentices were not disappointed at all after hearing this, and they all spoke excitedly.

"How can I be disappointed? The primary mage tower is also very powerful!"

"Yes, yes, not only can we meditate in it, but we can also learn 'Flying Stone Technique' and 'Stone Skin Technique' in it!"

"I decided to stay in the Mage Tower 24 hours a day from now on, haha!"

Listen to their excited discussion.

At this time, Cao Xing interrupted and said, "You can continue your studies in the Mage Tower tonight, but you have to come out tomorrow."

"Don't worry, it's not that I won't let you use it, but I'm going to upgrade the Mage Tower to an intermediate level tomorrow."

"Then, you can learn more advanced magic in it, and absorb more magic power when meditating."

All the mage apprentices on the field suddenly showed confusion in their eyes.

Even Ellie and Sylvia were confused.

Sylvia asked tentatively, "Lord...you said that we will upgrade the Mage Tower to the intermediate level tomorrow?"

"Yes."

After hearing Cao Xing's clear reply, all the mages on the field held their breath!
After a moment, Sylvia exclaimed, "Lord, didn't our territory just build a primary mage tower? Is it going to be upgraded to the intermediate level so soon?"

"is this real?"

They didn't know when their lord had obtained the blueprint of a more advanced wizard tower.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

The two girls looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

Those mage apprentices were also completely shocked.

After all, having a primary mage tower for them to use unlimitedly was something they could never even dream of.

But now, this lord said that the mage tower will be upgraded to the intermediate level tomorrow!
Even some branches of the Mage Association do not have a mage tower of this level.

Cao Xing looked at the mage apprentices and continued, "And you, as long as you make contributions to the territory, you can not only enjoy the mage tower, but also other privileges of the territory."

"The Intermediate Mage Tower is not the end of this territory."

"In the future, we will also have advanced mage towers and even mage holy towers."

After hearing Cao Xing's personal promise, these mage apprentices all showed intense excitement in their eyes!
At this time, the old wizard Terran also came to his senses.

He clenched his right hand into a fist, placed it on his left chest, and then solemnly saluted Cao Xing.

"Thank you, my powerful and generous lord. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the apprentices."

"This territory will surely become a holy place for all mages in the near future!"

After he finished speaking, the other mage apprentices followed the old mage and saluted Cao Xing.

[Due to your words and deeds, the loyalty of Territory member: Terran Rockspeaker has been greatly improved. Current loyalty: 75]

[Due to your words and deeds, the loyalty of territory member: Valentine has been greatly improved. Current loyalty: 76]

【Because of you……】

...

More than thirty system prompts appeared.

The loyalty of the mage apprentices and junior mages on the field has all increased significantly!

A smile also appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

Then, at his signal, Ellie and Sylvia led the group of mage apprentices and the old mage into the mage tower to meditate.

After doing all this, Cao Xing looked at the time.

It's already 11: at night.

Since returning from the Tigern Mountains, Cao Xing has been digesting the gains from his trip.

It's almost all digested now.

Although I still have a few things to do, it’s okay to deal with them tomorrow.

"That's enough, time to go back and rest!"

He turned around and headed towards his magnificent lord's mansion with a happy mood.

The beauty had already prepared the bath water.

He also warmed the bed and was waiting for Cao Xing to come in.

After taking a warm bath, Cao Xing went straight into bed.

He stroked Liu Muxue's smooth back and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Muxue. You prepare bath water for me every day and warm the bed for me."

The beauty pouted her head and shook it, saying, "It's not hard. It's my job."

Cao Xing chuckled and kissed her on the forehead.

The two fell asleep in each other's arms.

Late at night.

Cao Xing hugged the beautiful woman's shoulders and still did not feel sleepy.

Ever since becoming a fourth-rank mage, Cao Xing has felt particularly energetic.

Even if you only sleep three or four hours a day, you can still feel energetic the next day.

So, as usual, Cao Xing checked the survivors' chats and the world forum.

Found a lot of interesting posts on it.

Since more and more survivors started posting on the world forum, the number of posts per day has skyrocketed.

Most of the posts here are about asking for help and discussing survival skills.

But there are also quite a few posts that allow people to complain and vent freely.

After all, as modern people, we cannot live without entertainment.

There are also some silly players who have started shooting short or long videos.

Therefore, the survivors' daily entertainment activities have become more and more diverse.

Moreover, because the world forum is relaxed and there is no censorship system, basically any video can be posted.

Of course, some contents involving blood, violence, and thrilling scenes are basically not open to survivors under the age of 18.

After all, the system is omnipotent and can automatically identify your age and grant you appropriate permissions.

Moreover, according to speculation by some survivors.

In the future, as the system is continuously updated, a paid content section may be launched to completely improve the functionality of the World Forum.

In the future, it is estimated that many people will replicate the model on Blue Star, first producing various high-quality content on the forum, and then accumulating popularity.

Some paid content will be released appropriately later.

With billions of survivors around the world, you can obtain massive resources just by running forums.

By then, they might have completely forgotten about life on Blue Star.

Of course, these are not what Cao Xing considers.

He also doesn't need to become a blogger by gaining popularity on forums.

After browsing for a while, Cao Xing closed the World Forum.

Then, before going to bed, he habitually monitored the situation of the Baron's son, Fitz Walker.

In the past few days, there was nothing special about the baron's son.

Life was just like that, practicing swordplay with the knights during the day and with the female slaves in the Baron's mansion at night.

And this kid plays very well.

In the entire Baron's mansion, from the cooks in their fifties and sixties to the teenage girls, almost no one could escape his clutches.

Two nights before, Cao Xing also discovered a secret of his.

That is, this guy would sneak into the knight captain's room at night and steal his boots...

Even Cao Xing felt that this guy was a little too perverted.

Sometimes, Cao Xing didn't want to continue monitoring.

But tonight, he heard something a little different.

Fitz Walker was lying on the bed, hugging the Knight Captain's boots, reveling in himself.

At this moment, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"My little master, something happened!

"Madam asked you to get up quickly and go to the Baron..."

"He seems to be dying completely!"

Hearing this, Fitz Walker was shocked.
He quickly threw away the boots in his hand, put on his clothes hastily, and rushed out of the room.

When Cao Xing heard the news, his expression also brightened up.

"This baron is really strong enough."

"According to this guy, he has been poisoning for more than two months. Even an elephant would be poisoned to death."

"As a result, the Baron managed to hold on for so many days. I guess he must be a strong man."

Cao Xing had thought about secretly sending someone to tell the Baron the news and then expose Fitz Walker's crimes.

But let’s not talk about whether others are willing to believe it.

Another major reason is that doing so does not seem to bring any benefit to Cao Xing.

If the Baron wakes up, even if he executes Fitz Walker, he will definitely continue to send people to collect taxes in his territory.

Now, with the relationship with Fitz Walker, Cao Xing can be said to have saved a lot of trouble.

Therefore, the current situation is more favorable for Cao Xing.

Half an hour later.

When Fitz Walker returned to the room, he was silent for a long time.

But Cao Xing felt something strange.

After a moment, Fitz Walker couldn't help laughing!
