Chapter 029 Mechanical Mind

Gawain thought deeply and decided not to directly use magic stones to recharge in the future, which would seem a bit wasteful. Then he packed up the stone house, leaving the skeleton to continue guarding the house, and left again with the well-fed Crow No. 7.

Soon after.

Gawain came to the entrance of the mountain with the help of illumination. This was his second time entering the mountain.

There were two creeping monster golems guarding the entrance. They stared at the apprentices with their ruby-like eyes, and whispered from time to time. When Gawain appeared, the golem's eyes fell on him.

Gawain showed the identity stone carving on his lower waist and said:

"Hello, I want to go to the library, but I don't know how to get there?"

The golem on the left buzzed:

"Please take aisle 7."

“I would also like to apply to become an internal member.”

"Please take aisle 5."

"Thank you!"

Gawain thanked him and walked straight into the mountain. The golem on the right muttered: "What a stingy guy. He didn't even feed him a bronze star. I'm a little angry now."

The golem on the left said: "Forgive him, Ilankus, he is just a child."

"Okay, I forgive him, for Orosam's sake, but... there will never be a next time."

"I will remind him next time..."

...

Gawain walked along passage No. 7, and after a quarter of an hour, he finally arrived at the library at the end.

"Detect identity!"

At this time, a mechanical sound sounded from above the head, and two fist-sized metal eyes poked out from the bronze door of the library. Two white light beams shot out of the eyes, crossing and falling on Gawain, scanning up and down.

Mechanical sounds also sounded:

"External members!"

"Detect authority!"

"Low level authority!"

"Low-level permissions are allowed to enter and exit three times a month. Pet servants are not allowed to enter!"

Gawain looked up and found that there was a trumpet-shaped rune creation above his head, and the sound came from it. He did not dare to neglect it and quickly put the Crow Number 7 on his shoulder on the ground.

"Let go!"

As the mechanical sound sounded again, the two bronze doors opened silently. Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, told the crow a few words, and walked into the library.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a figure sitting at the oak counter on the left. The figure was wearing glasses and flipping through the parchment in his hand with a tentacle-like palm. It was an octopus monster.

The other party seemed to be aware of the movement, and without raising his head, he said directly:

"Low-level permissions can only browse on one level and cannot enter the next level. If you want to redeem witchcraft and knowledge, please prepare magic stones. One magic requires one to three magic stones, and a zero-ring witchcraft requires The technique requires anywhere from ten to twenty magic stones."

"..."

Gawain was a little embarrassed because the only magic stone he had was also recharged. However, his trip couldn't be in vain. He asked tentatively:

"Hello, can I see the exchange table?"

The octopus finally raised its head and looked at Gawain with eyes full of wisdom. For a moment, Gawain's body froze on the spot, feeling as if he was being watched by a giant dragon, and even his thoughts were almost frozen.

The octopus monster looked away, pushed up his glasses, and said casually:

"As you wish."

As he spoke, a tentacle stretched out from under the counter, rummaged through the bookshelf behind him, and quickly dropped a piece of parchment on the counter.

Gawain let out a breath and seemed to be alive again.

He knew that he had met a big boss, and that the other person was probably an official wizard. He did not dare to look at the other person, so he reached out to retrieve the parchment and checked it quickly.

"Manipulating bones, a magic stone."

"Apply oil to the soles of your feet and a magic stone."

"Magic perception, two magic stones."

"Magic cover, two magic stones."

"The hands of the mage, two magic stones."

...

There are thirteen tricks in total on the exchange table, all of which are different, but Gawain searched twice carefully and could not see the [Strong Will] he wanted. You must know that this was the only purpose of joining the [Bronze Oath].

If you can't get it here.

More than a month later, how could he withstand the mysterious curse, and because he saw the leaves of knowledge and obtained the advanced "Star Ring Meditation Method".

The chance of him being transformed into a monster is much higher than that of an ordinary wizard apprentice.

Thinking of this, Gawain was inevitably panicked, but fortunately he quickly calmed down, put down the exchange form respectfully, and said disappointedly: "Excuse me, there is nothing in it that I want to exchange."

The octopus monster asked strangely: "Little guy, what trick do you want to redeem?"

Gawain did not hide anything and replied:

"Strong will."

The octopus monster became a little more curious and pondered: "This trick seems to be uncommon. Our Bronze Oath has indeed not included it in our collection. I wonder why you learned such an unorthodox trick?"

Gawain was well prepared and replied: "I have roughly learned some knowledge about potions, but I am always disturbed by the illusions generated when refining potions, resulting in a low success rate, so I want to learn a trick to strengthen my will."

Then he took the opportunity to ask: "Excuse me, your Excellency, is there any trick similar to the one of firm will?"

The octopus monster shook his head:

"No!"

Gawain felt extremely disappointed when he heard this. He turned around and left without even saying hello, but heard the octopus monster continue: "However, although there is no magic, there are two similar zero-ring witchcrafts."

Gawain's spirit was shaken, and he suddenly felt like he could see the sun from the clouds. He suppressed his joy and said respectfully:

"Please give me your advice."

"These two zero-ring sorcery are [Mechanical Mind] and [Calmness]. Because they are relatively unconventional, not many apprentices learn them. If you want to exchange them, each one will be counted as ten magic stones."

"Thank you, sir. I will go get the magic stones now."

Gawain bowed hurriedly and walked out of the library quickly. The octopus shook its big head and read the book again, muttering:

"What a strange little guy."

Gawain took Crow No. 7 out of the mountain, returned to the stone house, took out all the gems and some unnecessary sundries from the suitcase, and came to the trading area on the top of the mountain again.

After cleaning up the sundries, he sold all the gems in five times, and then sold the Yaojin, raising a total of fifteen magic stones.

This is almost all of Gawain's wealth.

After that, he came to the library again, and after careful consideration, he exchanged ten magic stones for the zero-ring sorcery [Mechanical Mind].

These two zero-ring witchcrafts have similar effects, but they are different and have their own characteristics. [Mechanical Mind] is a blessing for the practitioner's spiritual will.

It can be canceled.

It can be continued.

It can also improve concentration, which is equivalent to semi-passive.

And [Calming Spell] can be actively cast on oneself or others, but it has a time limit.

Considering that the pollution will last for a long time after the mysterious disaster in the future, Gawain had to give up [Calming Spell] and choose the more reliable [Mechanical Mind].

However, in Gawain's heart.

In fact, he still likes [Firm Will] the most, because although it is a superficial trick, it fundamentally strengthens willpower, which is incomparable to the other two witchcrafts.

If there is a chance in the future, he will still choose to replace a trick.

After getting [Mechanical Mind], Gawain did not return to the stone chamber directly, but entered Channel No. 5, intending to apply to become an internal member of the Bronze Oath.

But when the orc lady took out the contract, Gawain immediately backed out.

Because the contract lists the rights and obligations one by one.

There are many powers, and they are very tempting. Not only does it provide a basic meditation method for free, but it also provides resources, mentor guidance, organizational training, etc.

But the obligations are more demanding, written in black and white: "You need to obey the organization's arrangements and work for the organization for 50 years."

"Sorry, excuse me!"

Gawain refused without hesitation and left quickly.

In his previous life, he was used to being a cow and a horse, but in this life, Gawain will not make do with it. Moreover, the gods will die out in a dozen or twenty years, followed by a wizard civil war.

He is a human, and if he stays in the Bronze Mountain where aliens are everywhere, he will probably be torn apart alive.
