398 Union 1
For a time, North could only helplessly find that he could not buy materials for refining potions from any mages.
There was not much gold left on North's body. Due to his status as a necromancer, it is difficult for North to accumulate a large amount of gold coins like ordinary mages.
Most of the gold coins that North purchased materials before were provided by the Spirit Society or his own lords. Using these gold coins, most of the materials North had collected had already been consumed in the previous two rounds of potion competition, and there were not many left at this time.
The surrounding mages knew about North's level of refining potions, and after learning that he lacked the materials for refining potions, they all wanted to get enough benefits from him.
Now, the influence that North had accumulated in the potion competition, not only did not bring him any convenience, on the contrary, it made him unable to buy refining materials like ordinary mages, and could only spend a higher price.
Just when North was at a loss, he was suddenly stopped by the mage beside him.
Compared with other mages, the mages in front of him are obviously different. In terms of dress up, the mages have a white face towel around their face, which completely covers the face, leaving only the eye area.
Since he is in the Ice Blue Magic Academy, it is not common for a mage to dress like this. Among a large number of mage who are normally dressed up, such deliberately covering up their faces will attract more attention.
When North was stopped by the mage, some concerns also appeared in his heart.
From North's point of view, this mage should be a member of the Spiritual Society in contact with him. Perhaps due to his inexperience, he had not experienced such a task before, and chose this easy-to-catch look.
After discovering this, although North had some concerns in his heart, worried that his identity would be exposed in advance, he still followed the mage to a relatively hidden location.
Due to the inability to collect enough materials, North did not have the confidence at the beginning for the next potion competition, and was worried that some errors would occur in the process of refining the potion.
For this reason, even if the mage who stopped him was really a member of the Spirit Society, there would be a certain risk of revealing his identity, and North would not refuse. North believed that as long as the members of the Spiritual Society paid attention to the potion competition held here, they would be able to pay attention to their situation and thus provide him with some support.
After arriving at a relatively hidden location, seeing that there were not many mages around, the mages who had called him before also put down the face towel covering his face in front of North.
When North saw the mage's face clearly, he immediately recognized his identity.
Contrary to North's expectations, this mage is not a member of the spirit society. On the contrary, the mage can be said to have nothing to do with the spirit society.
North found that the mage who stopped himself and brought himself to this position was Thork who had been in charge of guiding the potion competition.
Although North has only seen Thork a few times in the potion competition, he still remembers Thork's appearance clearly, so he can confirm it at a glance.
After recognizing Sock's identity, due to the instinct of a necromancer, the first thing that rose in North's heart was the fear of identity exposure, and even planned to escape from Sock and return to the competition arena with a large number of mages. .
At this time, Sock also felt the abnormal performance of North.
The Sok in front of him is actually not Sok's body, but a mirror image entity created by Sok using the Mirror Dafa. Thork's body is still leading the potion competition.
When Noth left, Sock anticipated the problems that might arise in Noth. In the competitions held in the previous college events, there would always be a few powerful mages who regretted being out due to lack of preparation. .
Due to North's strength in refining the potion in the previous rounds, Sock has determined in his heart that North will be one of the few people who will enter the final, so I hope North can improve himself in the final. Influence.
After noticing this, Sok secretly performed the mirror image method, allowing his mirror image entity to contact North and provide him with some help.
In terms of spellcasting ability, Sock has surpassed most mages. In the entire Ice Blue Magic Academy, only the dean's strength can suppress Sock.
The mirror entity created by Sauk's Mirror Dafa has shared thinking with Sauk himself at all times, and the spellcasting ability is roughly the same as that of Sauk himself. The only limitation is that the mirror entity will dissipate directly after receiving a certain amount of damage.
For the mages, especially the extremely powerful mages, the mirror image is one of the spells they must master.
With the mirror entity generated by Mirror Dafa, the mage is equivalent to having a clone at all times, which can handle many things on his behalf, and the mage's body can use this to conduct spell research.
While powerful, Mirror Dafa also has many limitations.
To maintain the activity of the mirror, it is necessary to extract mana from the mage at all times. If the mirror wants to cast a spell, because the source is still in the mage's body, the mana of the mage's body is consumed, and the spell cannot be cast out of thin air.
In addition, the mirror Dafa is also very easy to be broken. For the lowest-level Mirror Dafa, the generated entity will dissipate immediately if it takes 1 point of damage.
The damage that the mirror image entity can withstand will increase with the increase of the mirror image magic level, but it is certain that the limit that can be increased will not be too large.
Even a mage of the level of Sok, the mirror entity created by it is difficult to withstand a magic arrow from a mage apprentice.
In general, Mirror Image is worthy of its "mirror" name, and can be easily destroyed by any damage. Due to these limitations, during the battle, the release of Mirror Dafa requires the Mage to find the right opportunity.
For the mage, the real use of mirror Dafa is to handle some affairs on behalf of the mage himself when the mage concentrates on the study of spells.
Thork chose such a method. While guiding the potion competition, the ontology let his mirror image come to contact North.
North's performance was completely seen by Sock. For high-level mages, their observations are extremely keen, and they can quickly find some unusual places.
Because of the shared thought patterns, Thork's mirror saw North's anomaly at a glance.
As if thinking of something, Sock immediately grabbed North and began to investigate the abnormality in his body.
