Laughter aside, everyone realized the importance of the Five Grains Harvest Barrier Technique.
Although Mages didn’t have to worry about food and drink, for the lord of a city, the Five Grains Harvest Barrier Technique was extrely important.
It could solve food shortages.
With enough food, they could expand their armies, bolster their forces, and increase their military strength.
And in turn, expand their sphere of influence.
After hearing this, Kira, the City Lord of Flying Flower City, couldn’t help but be tempted.
He began to wonder how he could obtain this Magic.
He wasn’t a Mage, but he had the Mage Tutoring Corps under his command.
But the Casting threshold for this Magic was quite high. He estimated that his Mage Tutoring Corps alone had no hope of mastering it.
Komas had also said it.
The Five Grains Harvest Barrier Technique was classified as Tier Three Magic, but its Casting difficulty was at the Tier Four Middle Level.
This ant that, at a minimum, only a Tier Three Mage could successfully cast it.
And not just any Tier Three Mage could do it.
It would require at least a Tier Three Mage who was capable of casting a Tier Four Spell.
Rounding up, it was basically a Tier Four Spell!
After so thought, Kira could only give up. The threshold was too high; it was completely out of his reach.
Everyone began asking questions about the Five Grains Harvest Barrier Technique, and Komas answered them one by one.
It was just like a thesis defense.
Li Wei listened with great interest.
The principles of Magic and ideas for modifying Magic Models discussed during the debate were a real eye-opener for Li Wei.
It gave him a feeling of sudden enlightennt.
’So that’s how it works!’
An idea sparked in Li Wei’s mind, giving him many new thoughts and directions for the next evolution of his Fireball Skill.
「In the blink of an eye, the morning passed.」
Li Wei was still savoring the "thesis defense."
Seeing this, Gu Ze said, "If you still want to listen, you can continue to participate this afternoon."
"The main hall will turn into a trade fair in the afternoon, but the discussion forum will continue in the side hall."
Li Wei nodded. "Okay, I understand."
At noon, inside the Magic Hall, the Mage Association had prepared a grand feast for everyone.
It was all precious food that most Mages couldn’t bear to eat on a normal day.
There was Magic Cuisine made from various Magic Fruits, Magic Plants, Magic Herbs, and Demon Beast at.
It was said that they had even specially invited a Gourt, one of the Extraordinary Professions, to prepare the food.
The Gourt profession was rare.
People thought Gourts only knew how to eat.
In reality, a true Gourt was also a top-tier chef.
Food made by a Gourt possessed miraculous Power.
After eating a dish of the Magic Cuisine, Li Wei felt a cool, tingling sensation on his scalp.
He asked in surprise, "Does this restore Spiritual Power?"
Gu Ze nodded. "It does indeed. And it tastes quite good."
"A pity there’s only one serving per person," Li Wei said.
In the afternoon, the main hall of the Magic Hall transford into a trade fair.
The venue for discussing Magic Theory and research was moved to the side hall.
Everyone began displaying their treasures, and they also placed wooden signs on their tables listing the items they wanted to buy.
The stalls weren’t just for selling treasures; many Alchemists and Blacksmiths were also taking commissions.
Many Extraordinary Professions, rarely seen on a typical day, were gathered in one place.
The atmosphere was incredibly lively.
"Branches from a Wisdom Oak Tree! Top-grade material for crafting a Magic Staff! Step right up, don’t miss out!"
"High-purity Elental Crystal Stones! Mages who want to enhance their Elental Perception, you can’t afford to miss this!"
"Accepting commissions for forging Magic Equipnt and creating Magic Items! Materials must be provided by the client."
"Buying a Tier Three Sub-dragon Species Demon Core! Price is negotiable."
"Free Enchantnt! A special, loss-leading offer for new and old custors!"
...
Shouts ca from everywhere. Li Wei was a little surprised.
He never expected Mages to be no different from vendors at a vegetable market.
He glanced around and realized it was mostly the Mages’ attendants doing the shouting.
The Mages themselves sat leisurely behind their trade tables, sipping tea with an air of composure.
Mages without attendants had no choice but to do the shouting themselves.
’Free Enchantnt?’
Hearing a chance to get sothing for free, Li Wei hurried over to take a look.
The young stall owner smiled at the crowd and said, "I am a Tier One Enchanter, and today, I’m offering free Enchantnts to everyone."
"The Enchantnt service is free, but you will have to pay for the enchanting materials. I hope everyone understands."
"After all, the service fee for Enchantnt is usually quite expensive."
"And you don’t need to prepare the materials; I have everything right here."
Li Wei raised an eyebrow. ’This guy knows his marketing.’
The free Enchantnt was just a gimmick. The real money was made on the cost of the materials.
Requiring everyone to use his materials was how he skimd a profit off the material fees.
Still, quite a few people asked the young man for an Enchantnt.
"A Tier One Fla Enhancent Enchantnt. Increases the power of Fire Elent Magic by ten percent."
In a few minutes, the young man finished the Enchantnt and handed it to the custor.
The custor inspected it, paid with satisfaction, and left with his Magic Staff.
Seeing this, Li Wei’s interest was piqued.
He asked, "Do you have an Enchantnt that reduces Mana consumption?"
Hearing this, the young man replied, "Of course. A Tier One Mana Consumption Reduction Enchantnt. The usual service fee is 10 Gold Coins, but it’s free today. You only need to pay 15 Gold Coins for the materials."
When Li Wei heard the price, he realized it wasn’t cheap at all.
He took off his Invisibility Cloak, handed it to the young man, and said, "Enchant this for ."
He casually placed fifteen Gold Coins on the table.
Seeing this, the young man smiled slightly. "No problem!"
A few minutes later, a ring of faint blue patterns appeared on the inside of the Invisibility Cloak.
The young man said, "A Tier One Mana Consumption Reduction Enchantnt. It reduces Mana consumption by ten percent."
Li Wei heard this and thought it was about what he expected.
"Take care. Co again."
Business at the Enchantnt stall was brisk, with people constantly asking the young man for his services.
Li Wei was wandering through the trade fair when he ran into Gu Ze.
Gu Ze glanced at the pattern inside the Invisibility Cloak and said, "You got an Enchantnt?"
"Yeah, it cost fifteen Gold Coins. Pretty expensive," Li Wei said.
Gu Ze replied, "That’s not bad. It’s a bit cheaper than usual."
"But you should know, an Enchantnt isn’t a permanent buff. A high-quality one can last for several years, even more than ten. A poor-quality one might only last a few months, or even just a dozen days."
"The latter is a complete rip-off."
Li Wei asked in surprise, "Don’t tell I got scamd?"
He lifted the cloak and examined it closely.
Gu Ze shook his head. "Probably not. He wouldn’t dare to scam people at a Mage conference."
"Judging from the Magic Pattern, this Enchanter’s craftsmanship is quite decent. It should last for over a year."
Fifteen Gold Coins for a one-year buff.
Li Wei felt like he had gotten a bad deal.
’If only I had asked for the details before getting the Enchantnt.’
He had assud Enchantnts were permanent, never expecting them to be temporary.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
A noise ca from a nearby stall, and Li Wei turned to look.
"Master Blacksmith, accepting commissions for forging Magic Equipnt. You must provide your own materials, and a forging fee will be charged."
Li Wei thought of the Ant King’s carapace and walked toward the Master Blacksmith’s stall.
The Master Blacksmith had a private booth, which was much more luxurious than the single tables everyone else had.
The Master Blacksmith, who was hamring a piece of tal, asked without looking up, "What is it?"
Li Wei glanced around; Gu Ze had already walked away.
He took out the Ant King’s carapace and asked, "What kind of Magic Equipnt would this be suitable for forging?"
The Master Blacksmith glanced at it, reached out to feel it, and said, "Armor, Shield."
"If you’re using it for yourself, I’d recomnd forging it into Magic Armor."
"Magic Armor?" Li Wei looked puzzled.
