I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 168 Structure Golden Water Fusion!
Mina and his companions received special badges for this maze experience from the association's staff.

It records the points of this maze experience and is also the key to this maze.

It will be activated at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and will be valid for two weeks.

I heard that this is an emblem imitated from some magical equipment produced in the ancient Ansu ruins.

Input magic power and you will get information about the current maze, as well as many magical functions, but they cannot be used for the time being because the time has not come yet.

Mina and his companions wandered around the camp for a while and got familiar with the environment.

I ran into an old acquaintance, Mensalo of the Silver Dawn.

This fifth-level knight is here too.

"Your Highness."

As soon as Mensalo saw Lucia, he immediately bowed respectfully.

When he saw Mina, he smiled brightly.

After several collaborations in Moonlight Glade, this man had a deep respect for Mina.

"Why is my brother here too?"

Mina was curious.

"Come here to gain experience."

Mensalo smiled and said, "After spending too much time at the fifth level, if you want to reach the sixth level, this maze is one of the best choices..."

Mina was a little curious about why Mensalo came alone. If he came without a team, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?

But Mensalo nodded seriously.

"Safety is an issue, but how can we break through the limit without danger? There are no cowards in the Silver Dawn."

After saying goodbye to Mensalo, Mina suddenly felt a little emotional.

There really are colleagues who are willing to die if they hear the truth in the morning.

Mina met a few familiar faces here, including the vice-captain of the Royal Cavalry 3rd Division and the young lady from the Demon Phantom.

Everyone seems to be stuck at level five for a long time. If they give it a try, maybe they can reach level six.

In fact, Mina himself has reached the peak of the fifth level.

Since everyone is determined to break through to the sixth level here, is it possible for him to break through to the sixth level in this maze?
The leaderboard has been updated.

Some people went up there, and a few names faded away.

Mina's heart skipped a beat when he saw the list.

But when I saw that none of those names were familiar to me, I breathed a sigh of relief.

If you die in that maze, your name will fade into obscurity.

During this day, Mina has seen at least three names fade away.

And those who escaped like the one before, even if they were seriously injured, were already considered very lucky.

This maze is not an energy hot spring. If you want to break through to the sixth level, you have to work really hard.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the list was locked and some names were eliminated.

The rankings of some people have expired.

Among the top ten, eight were kicked out of the ranking.

Mina touched his chin. They were all unfamiliar names.

The Ten Great Knight Orders are just a part of it.

Most of them are lords from various places in Ansu, or elite descendants from large families.

Strictly speaking, these people can actually be considered members of the local knight order.

It’s just that the scale of those local knight orders is too small.

For example, the Mist family has its own order of knights.

Of course, Mina knows its own strength, and that level of ability can make it a force to be reckoned with in the local area.

Those who can come here are all from the family, and there are sixth-level or even peak-level sixth-level knights in charge of the great knight order.

It is even possible that there is a legendary relationship.

Had dinner.

Lucia and Ansana returned to their room and whispered to each other about some secret matters.

Kuleya came to a new environment, so naturally she would not be so leisurely.

He just replenished the necessary energy and left in a shadow step to continue collecting intelligence.

I feel safe with Kuleiya in Mina.

Mi Xiaohu, on the other hand, hid in his room with Slime Mengmeng, studying his new skills.

"Wood Thorn Absorption"

This is the third plant skill that the Plant Gem Tail unlocked after she broke through the fifth level of magic power.

Silver level.

"Wood Thorn Absorption" releases a sharp wooden thorn that can absorb the opponent's energy through the connection between plants and trees.

By the way, Mi Xiaohu’s current skills.

Only "Cold Energy", the newly learned "Ice Ring" and the just learned "Wood Thorn Absorption" have not reached the gold level.

In fact, sometimes, Mina still admires Mi Xiaohu very much. This guy really has many golden skills for himself.

And every time this happened, he would lift his tail and enjoy Mina's praise.

She worked so hard day and night to study the "Guide to Breeding the Nine-Tailed Fox" to develop her own skills, and for what?

And now, Mi Xiaohu is practicing "wood thorn absorption" with Slime Mengmeng

I saw that it was a wooden thorn as thick as a thumb, piercing into the body of the cute slime.

There was a faint green color on the wooden thorn, which slowly flowed into Mi Xiaohu's body through the thorn.

Mina stroked his chin and watched carefully.

I found this skill to have both good and bad sides.

Able to absorb energy, currently unable to absorb physical strength at the silver stage.

But at least it's good to be able to absorb energy, which is better than nothing.

But the amount absorbed is not much, and there is no gurgling feeling.

And Meng Meng Slime didn't feel like he was being drained all of a sudden.

It feels like a steady stream of water.

But the question is, how can this wooden spike stay inserted? How can it absorb energy while fighting?
Mina and Mi Xiaohu looked at each other and were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

If this skill is not developed, it will probably be a useless skill.

But ah.

If this skill could be slightly integrated with other skills, it would seem to be completely different.

"Heart of Plants" + "Absorption of Wood Thorns" =?

"Seed Entanglement" + "Wood Thorn Absorption" =?

"Thorn Shield" + "Wood Thorn Absorption" =?

"hiss……"

How should I put it? These skills have great development potential just by thinking about them.

Especially the "Seed Entanglement" + "Wood Thorn Absorption"

It feels good just thinking about it.

Mina patted Mi Xiaohu.

It’s done quickly in just one week.

Mi Xiaohu: "???"

Is it really that easy to fuse skills?

Then Mina, do you want to melt the remaining two toy shields within a week?

You know what, Mina really wants to melt the water shield.

After learning how to make 2.5 golden water, Mina felt like he was good enough again.

The rankings will be refreshed at 8pm and information about tomorrow's maze will also be given.

This is also the little function that Ansana discovered when she was studying the emblem just now.

After inputting magic power at 8 o'clock in the evening, you can check the basic information of tomorrow's maze.

The first level of the maze is the maze that Mina and the others will go to tomorrow.

Maze attribute, fire.

Maze difficulty, ☆☆☆☆

Mina suddenly remembered the screams of those people when he was looking at the list.

At that time, Mina thought it was because the ranking had dropped.

Now that I think about it, it’s probably the difficulty of tomorrow’s maze.

An elemental maze with fire attributes?
Mina touched his chin, remembering that his flame shield could be strengthened. It would be of some use in the flame maze tomorrow.

When the fireball just turned gold, the strength of the flame shield was increased.

Now words.

I have already mastered the double fireball.

Can the strength of this flame shield be improved?

A small shield formed between Mina's fingers, and a small fireball merged into it.
Mina closed her eyes and carefully took in the details.

Knew it.

Whether in terms of explosive power or resistance to flames, this fireball shield is infinitely stronger.

Generally speaking, any flame that is not twice as hot as a small fireball can basically be absorbed.

So……

If I blend my golden water into the fireball shield, will there be another qualitative change?
Mina tried it.

Not only did it fail to integrate, it almost ignited the fire bottle. Mina was so scared that he hurried to put out the fire.

If this temporary camp villa catches fire, Mina will have to pay compensation.

"brush."

The second small shield was made by Mina.

"Small Water Shield"

Mina used his other hand to make golden water.

So, can these two be integrated?

It’s still early in the night.

Mina thought he could give it a try.

If it succeeds, with Lucia and Mi Xiaohu leading the way, the pressure will be less.

I opened the chapter on water making in the book "Interpretation of Water Making and Meal Making by Stars" that I carried with me.

Looking through the details of the water-making technique.

Thinking about how to deconstruct and split the attribute elements of water making, and then reassemble them...

This sounds complicated, and it’s even more complicated to do.

Without a foundation and a teacher’s guidance, it would take at least ten years to fully understand it.

It could be due to the special nature of the teaching material, or it could be that Mina had figured out the trick.

Once raw, twice cooked.

When Mina was immersed in reading, he met the girl in purple again.

It seemed that he understood what Mina was thinking and knew what Mina was confused about.

"Deconstruction magic."

"That's really too ambitious."

"But now that you have reached level 2.5, you can give it a try."

"I'll show you once, watch for yourself."

"What? You want to demonstrate how to combine it with water magic? Why are you so greedy?"

"But if you want to save your life, I will teach you with reluctance."

In the purple-clothed girl's hand, a cup of energy liquid lit up.

In the other hand, a small water shield lit up.

The next moment.

The container of golden water shattered with a loud bang, and the energy liquid inside it swirled around the water shield.

Slowly merged into the water shield.

Mina suddenly opened his eyes.

In his right hand, there is a cup of 2.5 gold water.

And the other hand is the small "water shield"

Everything that happened in that "fantasy" seemed as if it had really happened. The feeling was so clear.

The container of golden water broke open.

Under the powerful magic control, the energy liquid swirled around Mina and formed an energy vortex around the "small water shield".

Synchronicity, and... an inexplicable resonance.

Mina didn't understand what was going on, but it all seemed to happen instinctively.

The small water shield suddenly shook.

A few drops of golden water merged into the small water shield. Then more and more, and finally all the golden water merged into it.

A shield appeared in front of Mina.

"Gold Water Shield"

This is the name Mina gave to this new shield.

Fortunately, it is golden water. If it was silver water...

cough cough.

Mina played with the new shield with some joy.

Got one for myself.

The defensive capability of this shield is relatively weak, of course this weakness is relative to the magic shield.

The overall defensive effect is much stronger than Mina's fireball shield.

And it has good resistance to water and fire.

Most importantly, Mina discovered that this shield actually had a very useful effect.

After putting on the shield, Mina also got a golden water buff.

It is only about half of 2.5 golden water, which is 1.25 times the mana recovery effect of standard golden water.

but!
Even if it only has a 1.25x mana recovery effect, it is still mana recovery!

Mi Xiaohu's wooden thorn absorbed energy and magic for half an hour, and Mina simply put up a shield to solve the problem.

Wow, this is a crushing victory.

and.

Mina's eyes were filled with excitement, and he thought of Lucia.

What this girl lacks most in battle is magic power.

You can only restore mana by using magic water.

If you don't have enough magic water, or in special circumstances, you don't have time to drink water, then it will be dangerous.

But now, a "Golden Water Shield" is directly put on.

Just ask, who else.

Mina chuckled and was looking forward to seeing Lucia endure his "Golden Water Shield" for the first time.

This wave of Lucia epic enhancement.

Humph, you still have the audacity to claim to be a legend.

Now it’s still Mina who needs to lead the team.

"Hey, wait, since a shield can restore mana, it means that to some extent, it can relieve bladder pressure. So, how about changing the name of this skill to Bladder Savior?"

The next morning, Mina and his three companions put on their breastplates and were fully equipped with robes, staffs and accessories.

Four people and one fox, ready to go.

At eight o'clock, quite a few practitioners had gathered in the small square.

Here, Mina saw Alaerdin and Marion of the Silver Hand, and the people from the Ten Knights saw at least five.

Everyone is gathered here.

Some people are ambitious and equip themselves with fire-resistant equipment.

Some sad faces.

Yesterday, all the fire-resistance potions of the association merchants were sold out, and the fire-resistance equipment was even sold out.

"A four-star flame maze is not easy to fight."

"This is a four-star difficulty level. You're not still thinking about getting points, are you?"

"Indeed, it's good enough to save my life."

Mina once again thought of the nine-segment wetland python and the eight-segment wetland crocodile group.

I just hope this four-star maze doesn’t get even more outrageous.

It was Mina's turn.

Mana input emblem.

A faint curtain of light enveloped his body and then merged with the curtain of light at the entrance.

As soon as Mina stepped into it, he felt extremely depressed.

There was a strong smell of burning in the air, and the smell of sulfur was also very strong.

I took a deep breath, and the hot air almost roasted my lungs.

Is this the boundary of the Fire Elemental Realm?

Or is it just a projection?

Mina and his three companions appeared in an open plain.

The entrance behind him had disappeared.

If you want to leave here, you either need to find the passage to the next level or find the exit to leave the maze.

Fortunately, there is a simple map for reference when activating the emblem.

"Hmmmmmm..."

The cute slime was lying on Mina's trouser leg, looking extremely listless, as if the whole slime was about to be roasted dry.

Ansana put up a breeze shield, but after a while she felt like she was trapped in an air fryer, and Slime Mengmeng became even more listless.

Mina stretched out his hand and a fireball shield covered the little guy.

No matter how you say it, it has to be Mina. The effect of this fireball shield is immediate.

Slime Mengmeng was finally saved, "Mmmmm~"

Making a joyful sound, the cute slime rubbed against Mina's trouser leg.

Mina picked the little one up and poked her fingers into her body, letting her suck her magic.

Just at this moment.

Mi Xiaohu suddenly stood in front of Mina, and Kuleiya brought in the shadow.

Lucia swung her fist and there was a loud bang.

Flames burst out in all directions.
