Chapter 105: Level 4 Ley Line

~8 min read 1,521 words

A sumptuous dinner: a large turkey leg and boiled potatoes, accompanied by light honey wine, worth 4 silver and 6 copper.

Ten sets of basic mana potions, exactly one month's amount, 60 gold.

Two sets of linen casual clothes, 14 silver.

Two bottles of exquisitely packaged sparkling wine, 30 silver.

One bottle of myrtle oil bought from a perfume shop, 10 silver.

Two wooden barrels with a capacity of 8 gallons, 10 silver.

Total 63 gold, 8 silver, 6 copper.

After this large expenditure, Gao De, who had made a small profit by responding to the summons order, saw his deposit balance decrease to 222 gold and 10 silver again.

It looked like a lot, but if he practiced by drinking "Basic Mana Potion" without interruption, this money could only support him for less than four months.

After enjoying dinner and buying a lot of things, Gao De, who returned home, drank a bottle of basic mana potion, calmed his mind, operated the guidance method, and returned to the smooth practice experience.

Addicted to taking medicine... Gao De muttered to himself, and then continued to focus on practice.

With the assistance of basic mana potions, although the guidance method had just completed a small breakthrough on the 8th of the Harvest Month, the next small improvement was actually not far away.

This visible practice progress made Gao De practice with extra energy.

25th of the Harvest Month.

Although impatient, Gao De finally waited for two days before visiting Ma Qieyi.

He believed that Ma Qieyi must also be very concerned about the news about the "Hogan Ley Line."

But considering that Ma Qieyi was the same as them, having been out for more than half a month, and unlike him who had no relatives, he must be "warm in the bed" with his wife and children as soon as he came back.

And he had just returned to the city, so he had to inquire about specific news.

One day for him to reunite with his family, and one day for Ma Qieyi to inquire about news.

Calculating this way, visiting two days later was just right.

The time he chose was from afternoon to evening.

This point in time was usually the time for social activities.

Ma Qieyi, as a Rank 1 magic user of the official law enforcement team, lived in the neighborhood that was the second golden zone in the entire Bremen City after the Shenliu District, the Sai Ren District.

Evening.

The setting sun sprinkled on the clean streets of the Sai Ren District, as if covering it with a layer of golden gauze.

Gao De walked along the street and finally arrived in front of an exquisitely decorated two-story detached building according to the address Ma Qieyi gave.

He approached the main gate and rang the doorbell in front of the main gate.

Then, a mechanical bird with an ugly and cute shape emerged from a box similar to a mailbox next to the gate, making a cuckoo-cuckoo sound, constantly going in and out.

As expected of a rich area, even the doorbell is so advanced.

Gao De sighed.

A few seconds later, the gate was opened from the inside out.

A woman wearing a linen servant skirt, who looked like a maid, looked at Gao De, glanced at Gao De's attire without a trace, and asked with some vigilance: "May I ask what you are here for?"

"My name is Google Ditu, and I am here to visit Mr. Ma Qieyi. Please help me report it." Gao De smiled and raised the two bottles of sparkling wine and the exquisitely packaged fragrant oil he was carrying.

"Please wait a moment, I will report it for you," the maid said politely, and ran into the room with a pitter-patter.

"Please come in, the master is waiting for you inside." After a while, she came out again and led Gao De inside.

Ma Qieyi's living room was quite large, more than twice the size of Gao De's entire floor, and the floor was covered with carpets.

The maid led Gao De to the reception area.

"Master, the guest is here."

Ma Qieyi, who had been waiting in the reception area, stood up at the sound, his face full of enthusiastic smiles, without any arrogance of high-level people, and walked quickly toward Gao De.

"Welcome, my friend."

For Gao De, the youngest but combat-proficient magic apprentice in the team, Ma Qieyi had always had a good impression. Gao De smiled and responded, "A sudden visit, I hope I didn't disturb you."

While speaking, he handed the gift in his hand forward.

"A little token of my appreciation."

Ma Qieyi did not decline, took the gift, and patted Gao De on the shoulder, "Just come next time, no need to spend money."

"Sit down, sit down first."

He guided Gao De to sit down in the elegantly decorated reception area.

And the maid just now had timely served two cups of steaming top-grade black tea, placed them gently on the table in front of them, and then quietly retreated.

Even the cups are so advanced... Gao De noticed that the tea cups had classical and exquisite patterns, and the porcelain glaze was even whiter.

Is this the quality of life of a Rank 1 magic user? He was quite envious.

Gao De picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, only feeling that the fragrance was long, obviously much higher grade than the tea leaves he bought.

"To tell you the truth, my visit today is mainly to ask you about the situation of the Hogan Ley Line." He said straight to the point.

Talking to a magic user who was far superior to himself in both experience and age, Gao De didn't think his thoughts could be hidden from others.

In addition, asking about the situation of the Hogan Ley Line was not a big deal, so there was no need to hide it, and it was better to speak directly.

"Then you really came at the right time. I also just got the latest information about the 'Hogan Ley Line' in the team yesterday." Similarly, Ma Qieyi was not prepared to hide it and said with a smile.

"Level 4 ley line." He stretched out his right palm, pressed his thumb, and made a "4" gesture to Gao De.

"It has been confirmed that the Hogan Ley Line is a level 4 ley line, the same level as the original spring ley line in our Bremen area."

"From now on, Bremen is an area with two level 4 ley lines."

"Although because of the appearance of the Hogan Ley Line, Hogan City is gone, and the casualties are not heavy, but in the next ten-plus years, Bremen City will also be lively because of this new ley line."

"Hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse." Ma Qieyi sighed.

"Have the rioting ley line creatures of the Hogan Ley Line been suppressed?" Seeing Ma Qieyi's posture, Gao De asked.

Because when Ma Qieyi mentioned the "Hogan Ley Line," he was smiling, which meant the situation must not be bad.

"Not yet, but it's coming soon," Ma Qieyi said.

"The reinforcements from Saint Xi En City this time, the leader is Magic User Fulei."

"Magic User Fulei is an extremely powerful combat magic user, and his combat power is among the best even among court magic users."

"On the first day of arriving at the core area of the Hogan Ley Line, Magic User Fulei beheaded three level 4 ley line creatures entrenched in Hogan City."

"In the following time, he led the team to sweep the area near the core of the Hogan Ley Line several times until not a single level 4 ley line creature could be seen."

"I think this deterrent power can last at least a year or two."

"Even if level 4 ley line creatures appear again in a year or two, it will be one or two scattered ones, and our Bremen City is fully capable of solving it ourselves."

"Originally, Magic User Fulei's mission would have ended here."

"It's just that he is prepared to stay for another week to sweep all the ley line creatures entrenched in the core area of the Hogan Ley Line, to remove some burden for us, and then prepare for the return journey."

"After this round of clearing, the Hogan Ley Line can be considered temporarily suppressed."

"Although ley line creatures will continue to emerge, they will not be as rioting and fierce as when they were born."

"Instead, they will maintain the quantity at a relatively constant value according to the total amount of magic power in the area."

"For Hogan City, the birth of the Hogan Ley Line is a devastating disaster, but for many people, the birth of the Hogan Ley Line is a rare opportunity."

Speaking of this, Ma Qieyi couldn't help but sigh again.

Hearing this, Gao De couldn't help but be silent.

This is the naked reality.
