Chu Fan, who has blond hair and red eyes, is wearing a silver knight's armor, carrying a knight's sword inlaid with emeralds on his back, and an alchemical fire gun slung at his waist.
Li Xiaoxiao, who has blue hair and golden eyes, is dressed in white and holds a three-foot green peak.
Zhang Guangmu was still wearing casual clothes, jeans and sneakers.
Three people, three different painting styles.
But they were in the same room, but there was no sense of incompatibility, and they both seemed quite comfortable with each other.
Zhang Guangmu focused his eyes on Chu Fan and sighed, "Have you finished reading "Magic Enlightenment"?"
"You also have Magic Talent. Even though you have not received relevant education before, you can still see them. Now as long as you can incorporate the magic particles into your body according to the method taught in the book and let them settle down, you will be Magic Apprentice."
This statement is actually not accurate. It is inconsistent with Magic Star's judgment standard for Magic Apprentice. It is a private product of Zhang Guangmu.
Originally, before Zhang Guangmu mastered magical power and touched the extraordinary, he only regarded the magic particles as something similar to light energy and electrical energy.
Now...
He doesn't think so anymore.
The so-called magic energy particles are by no means simple chemical elements such as hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, and boron, but a weak life similar to fungi.
Zhang Guangmu I feel more and more that they are a bit like human intestinal flora, except that their effects are stronger and their upper limit is more exaggerated.
Absorbing them into the body and allowing these little things to settle down is equivalent to casting an invisible and intangible extraordinary organ in the body, and it is also equivalent to forging another life support, energy supply and release system in the body.
It sounds complicated, but in fact, as long as you follow what Zhang Guangmu says, the entry efficiency will be slightly better than the current "Magic Enlightenment" textbook on this planet.
After all, he is the holder of Top-tier Magic Talent. In addition to his extremely high affinity for magic particles, his other specific manifestation is...
Script Hint.
False Memory, which was implanted in advance, had always been hidden deep in the mind. When Zhang Guangmu came into contact with the magical power, under the guidance of Script Hint, he immediately became a super genius who could draw inferences from one instance and know ten things from one thing.
If it weren't for the False Memory and "Voice" assistance that were loaded in advance, Zhang Guangmu felt that he would still be stuck at the level of intermediate Magic Apprentice, unable to reach the current level of [Magic (Bronze)].
In fact, those things really do not belong to Zhang Guangmu's knowledge reserve.
Although he likes reading, he only knows a little bit about serious academic knowledge, such as physics, chemistry, and biology. He can just talk nonsense. If he really wants to study it in depth, he will just sit on the wax. It is impossible to create something from scratch easily. Just based on the arrangement pattern of the magic particles displayed by Diana, he can infer a formal magic with completely opposite properties.
However, this is also the last benefit among False Memory.
After successfully getting started, the little benefits of being Seven Stars completely disappeared.
If you want to make progress in the future, you can only rely on your own wisdom and determination to search, think, and explore higher-level knowledge.
The good news is that the hardest thing about magic is getting started.
After deducing a magic based on the tips he secretly learned from Diana, Zhang Guangmu felt that if he wanted to study and learn other magic abilities in the future, the difficulty would be greatly reduced.
The long golden-red flame rope used by Zhang Guangmu was named "Flame Rope" by him.
Strictly speaking, although this magic has attack, defense and control capabilities at the same time, if it is truly classified, whether it is killing enemies or saving lives, its effects are average. It should be classified into the control system. The greatest effect is to restrain the enemy.
"Ah... haha..."
Chu Fan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "I have already memorized one-tenth of it. I estimate that in a while, I should be able to memorize the entire book."
"I am extremely talented and was born to become a magician. Don't worry, Guangdi, I will definitely be able to restore the glory of my family and become a great Archmage!"
Li Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to him, curled his lips and said, "You have no talent, and I have no interest."
"I prefer Sword Dao to magic."
There is actually no basis for saying this.
After all, Magic Talent of Li Xiaoxiao can only be compared with Chu Ba Zong. If you really want to compare it with Zhang Guangmu, then it is purely self-defeating.
The gap between the two was like a chasm, and he couldn't even see Zhang Guangmu's back.
But...
Li Xiaoxiao believes that his Sword Dao talent is no weaker than Zhang Guangmu's Magic Talent. As long as he exercises enough and sheds enough blood and sweat, he will definitely be able to climb to the top!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoxiao held down the hilt of the sword with one hand and said with determination, "Human energy is limited. Only by being extremely skilled in the sword can one become the strongest [Sword Immortal]!"
Zhang Guangmu looked at the little brother with empty eyes.
What?
Not a [Sword Master]?
Good brother, your willpower is not strong...
But this doesn't seem to have any impact, they all use swords, and the level of force depends on one mouth - unless you can see a the Path of the Great Emperor similar to Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, otherwise, it is basically unlikely that such a scene will happen.
Having said that...
In Zhang Guangmu's perception, Li Xiaoxiao, who claims to specialize in Sword Dao, also has magic reactions on his body.
In other words, Brother Xiaoxiao can actually be counted as beginner Magic Apprentice now, but he did not use his will to outline the magic pattern at all to refine and release the magic. Instead, he walked on a completely new path.
Including Li Xiaoxiao's daily practice of sword skills will also trigger a surge of magic energy particles, creating all kinds of strange scenes.
In Li Xiaoxiao's own words, this is the manifestation of the unity of man and sword.
But from Zhang Guangmu's point of view, Li Xiaoxiao has already gone astray.
Although he has played with the Sword Dao inheritance from Blue Star and transformed it into a [Sword Cultivation] path with the characteristics of Magic Star Ball, it has lost its original flavor after all.
All I can say is that the environment is different.
If Li Xiaoxiao really kept his head down and followed the [Inheritance from Another World] he got, and went to the dark side in pursuit of authenticity, it is estimated that his personal combat power may not even reach higher-ranking Magic Apprentice now.
If that were the case, it would be impossible for him to reach the Seven Stars sequence.
"Okay, I called you here today because I want to have a small meeting."
Zhang Guangmu's eyes swept over Chu Fan and Li Xiaoxiao: "The first thing is to urge you to get started as soon as possible and become Magic Apprentice. I have said everything that needs to be said here. It depends on you yourself later."
"The second thing is about Mushroom City's strategic planning."
Mooncake, who was lying on Zhang Guangmu's shoulder, opened his eyelids and meowed to show that he was listening.
Zhang Guangmu smiled, reached out and scratched Orange cat's chin, and said in a gentle tone, "The overall situation of Mushroom City is better than I expected. The current permanent population is about 18,000 people, because the living environment is not harsh and the population mobility is extremely small."
In other words, Mushroom City is equivalent to the state of a small city during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the ancient flower growers, and is incomparable to the millions of people in the flower growers of the 21st century.
Other cities, even the Imperial City, only have a little more than 100,000 people. The cities of the entire magic civilization are distributed in large numbers but scattered.
Even so...
Zhang Guangmu also vaguely felt that smart Director people seemed to think that Magic Star had great advantages.
"The economy, food reserves, and public sentiment are all in pretty good shape."
His thoughts continued, and he continued, "There is even an [iron mine] around Mushroom City that has been explored but not deeply explored. If such a precious resource is properly utilized, the entire Mushroom City will be completely new in less than two years."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao tilted his head and explained, "I advise you not to look forward too much to that iron mine."
"Three chambers of commerce have contracted it before, hoping to make a fortune. As a result, miners often died suddenly during the excavation process."
"About seventy people died before and after, and the mine was abandoned."
"Later, the news of [the undead] spread. After several attempts to clear it were unsuccessful, not even half of the undead was found. Instead, it suffered heavy damage, and no one dared to attack it anymore."
This was a kind reminder. Zhang Guangmu nodded slightly after hearing this, but had no plans to completely idle the iron ore.
Based on his experience of watching more than a dozen the Path of the Great Emperor, under normal circumstances, this kind of iron ore is just a facade, and there is a high probability that some more important resources are hidden inside.
Or there are some clues to the hidden inheritance.
Hearing Li Xiaoxiao's words, not only Zhang Guangmu thought this way, but also many Little White Balls floating in the air had similar thoughts.
"Is there something wrong with this mine?"
"They said they were undead, but when we actually sent troops to clear them out, they couldn't find anything... Damn it, are you telling a ghost story?"
"Everything can go to the underworld, as long as your brain circuit is outrageous enough - by the way, I also looked at the mining records before, and it seems that higher-ranking Magic Apprentice also died in this mine... I guess Mu Zai won't be able to handle it in a short time~"
"Damn it! Brother Mu Zi, be careful! The competitors are making big moves!"
"Yue Yiji deserves to be the first person... He is really ruthless! Using the first exchange between Double Star as a springboard, he directly changed a map for himself with one operation!"
"???"
"Yue Yiji has now gone from Blue Star to study abroad at Magic Star! He is now [Chief Diplomat of Blue Star] and [exchange student]..."
"The good news is that Yue Yiji successfully crossed two realms, it seems because he was hooked! The technology of time travel is not mature yet, and all other participants of the [Two Realms Crossing Experiment] died suddenly!"
"Do you want to change your career to become a magician?"
"It shows that both Blue Star and Magic Star give people a feeling of being super backward, but the intelligence and surveillance systems are so good... Fortunately, something big happened on both sides, otherwise Mu Zai's identity as a time traveler would be exposed by now..."
"Indeed, Magic Star's civilian and non-public magic skill level gap is too big. It feels like the overall combat power of both sides is about the same..."
"Hey, it doesn't matter so much. I'm going to take a look at that strange iron mine first. Is anyone with me?"
"Add one more!"
There were a few bold Xiao Bai Group ers walking together, wanting to explore the [Spirit Iron Mine] near Moocheng to find out what was going on.
After all, the audience is in a different dimension. They can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, go to space and go to the deep sea. Except for the bodies of Subconscious Actor and Intelligent Actor, this the World is so big that they can go wherever they want.
After hearing the conversation between Li Xiaoxiao and Zhang Guangmu, Chu Fan seemed to have thought of something. He patted his head and said, "Leave it to me to stabilize the people's hearts and minds!"
"After killing Comical Mercenary Group, Gun God Mercenary Group will become the largest free force in Mushroom City. If there are outsiders who want to cause trouble, I guarantee that they will not be able to cause any trouble!"
Her chest was slapping loudly, and these words were spoken loudly. If Zhang Guangmu didn't know what kind of temper Chu Ba Zong was, he would probably have believed it.
"Well, you are worthy of being the leader of the Gun God!"
Zhang Guangmu gave Chu Fan an approving look, and then said, "It's just that those who can work hard."
"The investigation shows that there are more than 110 unemployed young people here in Mushroom City. They lack skills and cannot be directly recruited into the Mushroom City Guards."
"So, I would like to trouble you to help collect them one by one and train them in a unified manner. They do not need to have high combat power, as long as they can handle the low-level daily tasks City Lord's mansion has piled up here."
"There is no need to worry about the money issue for the time being. Just let them come to City Lord's mansion to receive their salary regularly every month."
Hearing this, Chu Fan's expression became serious. "I understand, don't worry!"
Li Xiaoxiao next to him showed a bit of worry. "With the speed you spend money... you won't be able to last for a year, right?"
He doesn't think he cares about Zhang Guangmu.
He was just afraid that this person would be so badly beaten that he would run away, and then he would have no place to learn more about "Blue Star's past".
"Don't worry, as long as the iron ore problem is solved, we can turn losses into profits and create at least two more economic chains."
Zhang Guangmu smiled slightly, "In this regard, I already have a rough strategic plan."
Li Xiaoxiao was stunned and undecided.
This kind of high-risk, high-yield decision-making is a typical Gamble Dog behavior. It is not safe at all. If there is a problem in any link, the order of the entire Mushroom City will immediately collapse and big chaos will occur.
But looking at Zhang Guangmu's confident look, Li Xiaoxiao has nothing to say.
Besides...
The world is undergoing drastic changes.
Something big is going to happen...
No, to be precise, something big has happened. However, Li Xiaoxiao doesn't know the reason. He only knows that it is related to the fall of Saint Mage.
"Very good."
Zhang Guangmu snapped his fingers, and a ray of golden-red flames jumped around him. "Our next strategic policy is to expand our power and become the Baishuang County overlord through diplomacy, strategy, finance and other means!"
"The first step is to make Mushroom City the [main city] of Baishuang County in the next ten years!"
This is the first time Zhang Guangmu has spoken out his plan in front of the two of them.
Chu Fan I don't think it's anything.
He thinks Zhang Guangmu should have such courage!
Even this goal is a little too small.
Just...
Chu Fan's blood-red eyes flickered, and his gaze turned towards Li Xiaoxiao.
"What are you looking at me doing?"
Li Xiaoxiao's little temper was ignited at the first moment, and he said with a fierce look, "I'll pluck out your eyeballs again!"
This is of course not true.
Chu Fan has a good temper and doesn't take it too seriously. He just grinned and said with a handsome smile, "Guangdi and I have the same interests, so of course we will help him unconditionally!"
"To dominate Baishuang County and become the county Uncrowned King... A few hundred years ago, this would have been to become a [Lord]."
Having said this, Chu Fan said seriously, "My Guangdi is invincible, has the appearance of a god!"
"It would be too unfair for him to just be a Baishuang County lord."
Rebel!
This sounds like standard anti-thief rhetoric!
If it were other members of the royal family who heard this, they would probably smile in front of them and report them behind their backs. They would be suppressed by the army within two days.
However, hearing Chu Ba Zong's words and being stared at by Zhang Guangmu made Li Xiaoxiao a little stressed.
"Okay, I'll also express my opinion..."
Li Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "Although I am also of the Imperial Royal Family bloodline, I am only a direct descendant. There is no one else close to me except Li Zhuyu."
"So..."
Li Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and looked Zhang Guangmu up and down. "You're a big man, you don't need to be so cautious about everything, right?"
"Since the people here are all our own people, what else do you want to do?"
"What about diplomacy, strategy, finance?"
"Even if you directly send troops to attack and rule the entire Baishuang County by force, as long as you are sure that you will not be wiped out by the imperial army, I will not object."
Having said this, Li Xiaoxiao paused for a moment and added, "Anyway, I only care about my Sword Dao cultivation."
"Okay."
Zhang Guangmu took out a parchment scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xiaoxiao and Chu Fan: "In this case, we should take action."
"Let's read this letter first."
After reading the letter handed over by Zhang Guangmu, the body-sketching gunman and the royal swordsman showed anger on their faces, looking filled with indignation.
Chu Fan's red eyes were filled with blood, and his hands were shaking because of this letter. "A white wolf with nothing?"
"I don't give you anything, I just want the iron ore from Moocheng!"
"You are still speaking so rudely and without any respect in your words. Are you looking down on my brother Guang?"
"He is looking for death!"
Chu Ba Zong If he didn't speak, he would be the standard male protagonist template of a knight novel, with a well-balanced temperament and full of charm.
But...
Chu Fan As soon as he spoke, he immediately showed a hint of cowardice. "I will never let Brother Guang suffer this injustice! Wait! I will write a letter and scold him now!"
Xiaoxiao good brother's small temper can lead to more violent outbursts.
"Don't learn from your predecessor Lord of Mushroom City and become a vulgar swordsman..."
Li Xiaoxiao repeated a certain sentence in the envelope, his teeth clenched and veins popped out on his forehead.
"I'm going to Umbrella City to kill that guy right now!"
He acted like a stupid young man Young Hero who had just left the sect and entered the world, holding a sword and going out to kill people.
