[Take Office Condition 4: Ritual of Corrosion: …]
[Take Office Condition 5: Consume 10,000 experience points!]
Su Lu looked at the information of the Erosion Mage in the inheritance, and more secrets emerged in his mind:
“Erosion Mage, also known as Candle Mage, represented hope in ancient times, and Erosion Fire is also known as the Candle Fire of Hope! It seems that in the Dark Ages, faced with a certain monster, human physical professions were repeatedly defeated. At the critical moment, a [Black Robe Mage] successfully developed a new profession, advanced to the fifth level, repelled the monster with powerful spells, and brought hope to humanity…”
“But in reality, the so-called Candle Fire of Hope is completely a paradox, its essence is the Erosion Fire leaning towards dark forces!”
“Plunged in darkness, heart towards the light, this is the motto of the [Black Robe Mages], they guard themselves and humans with dark forces.”
“Superior forces mostly have hidden dangers, this is desperation…”
…
Su Lu shook his head, his will was concentrated on the [Dark Affinity LV1].
[Consuming 25,400 experience, Dark Affinity LV1→LV8!]
[This Passive is promoted to the limit, gaining the affiliated ability – Erosion Fire!]
In that instant, Su Lu seemed to feel various transcendent forces contained in the world, which could be classified into different elements according to the theory of mages.
What he felt was the deepest and evilest source of darkness!
That sort of darkness seemed to carry unusual magic power, trying to lure him deeper in.
However, Su Lu, a man beaten by the trials, was already at the fifth level; he quickly escaped from slight infatuation.
He rubbed his right thumb and forefinger, a strand of pitch-black flame appeared, full of power that corrodes everything.
“Is this Erosion Fire? It really is the Dark Spirit Flame!”
Su Lu felt the properties of the Erosion Fire: “Full of corrosive power, once it touches a life form, it will continuously drain its life force to strengthen itself, it has a relentless nature…”
Once a [Black Robe Mage] masters ‘Erosion Fire’, they undoubtedly have the qualifications to advance to [Erosion Mage], an issue which has stumped numerous Black Robe Mages in Green Tree Castle.
However, in Su Lu’s hands, it was achieved easily.
He looked at the take office conditions for [Erosion Mage], pondered a bit and said: “I have completely met the requirements for the attributes, the experience points are not a problem, only the ‘Ritual of Corrosion’ is left.”
This ritual mainly uses the power of Erosion Fire to continuously transform the mage’s body into a form more suitable for dark spellcasters.
In a way, it is somewhat similar to the [Wandering Mage] form, and both can be seen as simplified versions of the Mythical Body.
“There are some materials required for this, most of them can be found in Green Tree Castle, if not we can always go to Chris Empire… the inheritance of [Erosion Mage] is wide, this is not a problem.”
Su Lu pondered a little, he felt it was necessary to start collecting materials from Chris Empire.
After all, it is too conspicuous to do it in Green Tree Castle.
As he has just received the inheritance, collecting the resources necessary for the advancement of the legend will definitely raise suspicion.
“And… it’s also about managing an identity.”
Su Lu thought, if Rod wanted to truly establish a career in Chris Empire, a fourth-level profession wouldn’t be enough as a backing, he must have a legend as support.
However, his [Wandering Mage] has been revealed, and it would not be good to flaunt it again in the Chris Empire.
In comparison, [Erosion Mage] perfectly meets the requirements and can be managed as a second identity.
Su Lu decided then and there, to try his best not to expose his ability as a [Black Robe Mage] in the Federation, and in the Chris Empire he would try to solve issues using his second profession as much as possible.
Unless there is a crucial clue, no one can imagine that he has a second fifth-level part-time job!
…
White Tower.
Su Lu put down a copy of “Introduction to Species of the Dark Continent” and seemingly unintentionally picked up “Detailed Explanation of the Dark Arrow Spell”, flipping through it casually.
Although he was a fourth-level [Black Robe Mage], he was actually quite inexperienced.
The profession path of a [Mage] requires a lot of learning, especially various spell templates. Some of them were developed by [Mage] themselves, and others were developed under the guidance of [Arcanist], which covers a wide range of topics and can effectively deal with various situations.
It can be said that the amount of knowledge reserves is a key factor affecting the strength of the [Mage] at the same level.
Luckily, there was no shortage of books in this area in the White Tower, and his reading habits happened to be quite diverse, his authority was high enough to casually read a few books, which was enough for the attribute column to record some dark series of spell templates for his future use.
Unconsciously, a day passed.
Just as Su Lu was about to return to the villa for a cup of Beryl coffee, he saw Dunstan walking over.
The two of them started walking around the inner circle as if they were just strolling.
“Su Lu, all of the Federation’s rewards have been cleared up today, take a look.”
Dunstan passed over a list with a grin: “Do you want to convert all to contribution points or something else?”
“Convert most to points, afterall I still owe a lot, decrease it according to the previous agreement, the remaining will be treated as my donation to the inner circle.” Su Lu laughed, then his gaze hardened as he saw the last entry: “This… Evil God’s relic location, what does it mean?”
“I would like to thank you for your donation to Green Tree Castle on its behalf first, as for the last address, it’s a piece of information!”
Dunstan brought out a pipe, took a deep puff: “During this incident, wasn’t there a prisoner from Chris Empire?”
“You mean… Bob of the Shield of the Earth?” Su Lu remembered, that poor fellow dared to block a whole group of them alone, naturally he was beaten to the point that he could not even recognize his own mother, and was imprisoned by Arsen.
“By convention, he is a common prisoner of you all, naturally the information extracted from torture should be shared. Of course, the Federation will certainly remove some keys…” Dunstan said: “This Evil God relic is the second most important content in his memory. The location is on an island in the open sea. He once explored there with Tops but it seemed not to go very smoothly… this left a deep impression on him.”
“I see… He also thinks that Tops’ demise at my hands was due to being cursed by the god of misfortune. Could this relic on that island be of the god of misfortune?”
Su Lu asked.
Other than the seven major orthodox gods, the rest are evil gods in this world, but their strengths differ.
A relic that could make two legends return without any gains certainly has immense value.
Of course, it may also contain terrifying dangers.
