Chapter 30 Forging the Lord of the Rings
Chapter 30: Creating the Devil's Ring
Leaving from Leonard's house, Locke returns to the hotel where he lives and says goodbye to Page and Linda.
After staying in Princeton for almost a week, the mother and daughter had already turned around and it was time to go back, but Locke was not with them. He was going to New York to meet Balsazer and ask him for magic.
Since seeing Balsazer for the first time last Christmas, Locke has been learning magic for more than half a year, and his meditation has reached intermediate level a week ago.
At the same time, Locke also learned several basic magic, most of which rely on the system to learn skills. He is still a beginner in his understanding of magic and needs to write letters to Balsazze for advice frequently.
But writing a letter to ask questions is comparable to face-to-face guidance. Locke is planning to stay in New York this summer and ask Balsazer for advice and learning more.
"Dingling." As the doorbell rang, Locke came to the antique shop in Balsazer again.
"Welcome... It's you." Balsazer glanced at Locke standing at the door.
"You are still so messy here, can't you clean up and organize it?" Looking around the surrounding environment, Locke couldn't help but complain.
He is not a particularly hardworking person, but he still has some challenges to Locke's perceptions in this mess.
Of course, there are also alternative rings, just like the rings handed down by Merlin. The materials are made of magic gold that are more precious than gems. The magic gold naturally contains a lot of magic power, and has higher magical efficiency and ability to withstand magic, and is also more rare.
"Have you handled your business?" Rock asked.
"Since I'm talking about Dave, I'm also a little curious. Why don't you take me over and take a look later?" Rock suggested.
Because he was unwilling to stay in the antique shop in Balsazze, Locke booked a luxurious suite in the hotel. He asked Balsazze about magic every morning and went to the library in New York City to read books in the afternoon.
Barsazer thought about it for a moment and nodded: "No problem, but now let me see what you have learned first."
His knowledge reserves have long exceeded the content of ordinary university courses. Now he basically relies on self-study to improve himself. He doesn’t have to listen to classes in class. The school teachers know his situation and have no restrictions on him.
With Balsazze deliberately making friends, Dave's parents quickly regarded him as a friend. When they were busy, Balsazze also took over the task of taking care of Dave.
"No problem, what I master now is some basic magic skills. I only master seven of the magic in your book." Locke nodded, and then demonstrated them one by one in front of Balsazze.
It will accompany you for a lifetime. The top rings can increase your magic speed several times and reduce the consumption of magic power.
"From the letter you wrote, you can see that your progress is fast, but everything will be discussed after I have verified it." Balsazze said: "Now you can use all the magic you know first."
There are many choices for children from wealthy families to study and travel. In addition to the United States, they can also get together in groups of three or three to travel to Europe.
"Actually, I have also read the alchemy-related content in the magic book, but if you want to create a top-notch ring, the materials you need are not cheap."
New York City has a complete range of libraries and books. He has obtained a book loan certificate, and he can borrow various scientific cutting-edge books at any time.
"Yes, the ring is equivalent to our staff. You should also notice it when casting magic. It is very difficult to control magic. The ring can help you better condense magic power and control tiny particles, so that you can cast spells faster and the power of spells is stronger."
Barsazze said: "The ring is extremely important to the magician. It has a strong personal mark. Each magician has its own exclusive ring, which you need to find and create by yourself.
Locke nodded, and soon, Balsazer used his move to change his shadow and took him to a wasteland in the suburbs.
Now he can only buy a batch of alchemy materials first, practice alchemy techniques under the guidance of Balsazze, and create an overused ring.
Therefore, creating the Lord of the Ring requires top-level gems, and this type of gems are usually of great value.
Until he received a call from Tang Wei: "My plane takes off soon and will be in New York tomorrow. Can you pick me up?"
Locke frowned. He knew that Tang Wei had saved money for college for a long time, but her tone didn't seem like a joke. Could it be that she spent all her studies and travels these days?
The graduation ceremony has ended almost a month ago. According to the customs of American high schools, these high school graduates who have been confirmed to be admitted to universities will choose to study and travel as long as conditions allow.
"The Lord of the Ring?" Locke looked at the yellow gem ring that Balsazer was carrying.
"This is not something you should care about." Balsazer glanced at Rock: "My time is precious, and I will go and help take care of Dave in two hours."
When she was a child, Tang had the habit of saving. After she got the admission letter from Columbia University, she started working part-time female gambling companions in the casino to solve part of the tuition and living expenses.
As for the skills to create the Lord of the Rings, there are records in the magic book I gave you. Your magic has already been in the beginning, and it is time to create your own ring."
But he couldn't wait to move to Dave's house and became neighbors with Dave's family.
...
"It seems that your talent is very good, but you lack sufficient experience and guidance, and you also need a Lord of the Ring."
Since it was confirmed that Dave was the successor of Merlin, Balsazer has taken action. Dave was just born, so Balsazer naturally could not teach him magic directly.
Of course, Locke also wants a top-notch Ring, but it is not realistic to realize this wish in a short period of time.
At least Balsazze has been around for more than a thousand years, and has never seen any other demon gold except the Dragon Ring.
Children from middle-class families with rich income drive their own used cars prepared at home and take a road trip that can be done at will to see the customs and customs of all parts of the United States.
Lock shrugged helplessly. The most important thing about the ring is the gem. The greater the power it can withstand, the more magic power it will be, and the purer the more flawless the magic guide efficiency will be.
As for those children who still need to have a headache about university tuition, they don’t have this blessing. Most of them will choose to find a place to work, not to mention solving the tuition, but at least they have to prepare some living expenses for themselves.
"You are very skilled in manipulating elements, or molecules, even more so than mine... well, perfect." After watching, Balsazer's eyes were amazed:
Relying on the gains in the Japanese stock market, Locke has now gained more than one million dollars, but all of the gems with the best size and purity are world-renowned gems, with prices basically exceeding tens of millions or even billions of dollars.
The reason why he did not skip the grade was more because he used his career to gain more potential points. So in the next half month in New York, Locke could be said to have lived an extremely fulfilling life.
"It's already done, but I don't even have a dollar on me now. If you don't come to pick me up, I will have to stay on the streets of New York next." Tang Wei said.
After working for a few days, I met Locke and promised to help her solve the problems of tuition and living expenses.
But even if Locke promised to pay her tuition and living expenses, Tang Wei would not spend her money indiscriminately, and would not lie down at home and wait for Locke to pay money.
She originally planned to take advantage of the summer vacation to save some private money for herself while working and preview her homework in advance according to the school’s book list to prepare for college courses. Rock happened to be addicted to magic and study, and did not urge her to come to New York to accompany her earlier.
Her attitude towards learning is quite rigorous. She knew that this was the safest shortcut to change her destiny, but not long before she was about to come to New York, there was a problem at home.
