Chapter 425

"Thirty-year-old Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun, after a first-circle magic user takes it, the magic power that can be improved is between 10-20 drops of liquid magic power."

"As for lifespan, it can increase by about 3-5 years; how much medicinal effect can be exerted depends on personal physique and luck." Steward York thought for a while and gave Gao De a definite range interval.

Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun.

Gao De had never heard of this magic plant, but he had heard of silver dragon birds.

The pattern engraved on the back of the silver dragon coin in the Jin Quehua Dynasty currency system is the silver dragon bird.

In addition, the three major magic user legions of the Jin Quehua Dynasty are the Light Hai Shao Bing, Justice Pioneer, and Silver Dragon Cavalry; the silver dragon of the Silver Dragon Cavalry also refers to the silver dragon bird.

This is one of the symbols of the Jin Quehua Dynasty.

Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun can be related to the silver dragon bird; there is no doubt that it is an incomparably precious magic plant.

And the fact is also true; this thing, in addition to being able to directly improve the magic user level, also comes with two major extra special effects of physique improvement and lifespan increase.

Although these two points happen to be Gao De's strengths, no one dislikes life being long, right?

The effect of improving the magic user level hits the nail on the head.

Gao De is now at 53 drops of liquid magic power, which is almost the same as the 60 drops of liquid magic power of the first-circle perfection.

If this Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun is really as effective as Steward York said, then it is definitely no problem to help him reach the late first circle in one fell swoop after taking it.

Doesn't that mean that he can start considering the matter of promoting to a second-circle magic user?

Sixteen years old, can look forward to a second-circle magic user.

Three years ago, he was still a third-class magic user apprentice in a small country town whose life and death were uncertain.

In just three years, he had finished the road of an ordinary magic user for a lifetime.

Thinking about it, it really feels like a lifetime ago.

"Magic User Gao De, there is also a point for taking Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun in the box; in addition, this box is specially made, which can well preserve the medicinal effect of Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun, but the loss of medicinal effect cannot be completely isolated, so you should take it as soon as possible."

After introducing the origin and function of Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun, Steward York added another sentence.

Gao De heard this and really found a small paper roll under the Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun.

It was written with some points in the official printed font, including related conflicting medicinal materials that cannot be taken before and after taking Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun, etc.

Gao De was in a happy mood and solemnly put away the Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun.

"Thank you, Steward York."

"Magic User Gao De is polite; compared to the great merit you made this time, these rewards are actually nothing; they are all what you deserve."

"As a Sea Hai Shao Bing magic user, what I did is my duty; Hou Jue Drake's extra rewards make me feel a bit flattered." Gao De's scene words also came to his hand.

After the reward was given and the Hou Jue's words were conveyed, Steward York resigned and left; Gao De watched him get on the carriage and leave the street, and then returned to the dormitory with two rewards.

Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun, the advice given by Magic User York is to take it as soon as possible.

However, Gao De thought about it and decided to press it for now.

Because after taking Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun, he can basically try to promote to the second circle, and he intends to upgrade the circle in the north.

The high-level spiritual land in the north can increase his success rate of upgrading the circle.

Therefore, he is prepared to bring the Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun back to the north before taking it.

Another point is that Gao De wants to let Fuluola see the Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun; one is a necessary check, and the second is to try to see if it is possible to plant Dragon Bird Longqin Xuejun.

As for the other reward.

He was embarrassed to look at it carefully in front of Steward York just now.

Now he can no longer suppress his curiosity, opened the box again, and checked the specific content of the house deed and land deed.

"Vantrolun District, 172 Regent Street."

"Royal Watch Shop."

Gao De also lived in the Vantrolun District for a period of time and was quite familiar with this city district, so he only recalled it slightly and had an impression.

Regent Street is one of the three most prosperous streets in the Vantrolun District; the shops on Regent Street are typical four-story terraced buildings.

This "Royal Watch Shop" is also the same.

It is worth noting that although the store name contains the word "Royal," there is actually no royal authorization, just to mean "serving gentlemen."

If he remembers correctly, the owner of this watch shop violated the laws of Duo'en and has already been imprisoned, and this watch shop has also been confiscated.

Because the business situation itself was already very poor, after being confiscated, without the owner's careful management, it has been closed for a long time.

However, these are not important.

Shops on Regent Street in the Vantrolun District are not worthless.

The land price and house price are there.

After a rough estimate, the value of such a shop may be between 2500-3000 Jin Quehua coins.

Atmospheric!

As expected of a County Hou Jue, the reward given is really too atmospheric.

More importantly, this is completely "unexpected wealth."

Gao De never thought that the Bailuo County Hou Jue would give him a separate commendation, so receiving such a generous reward suddenly, the surprise was doubled.

Good things come in pairs.

Gao De was just about to go to his new industry in person.

Staff from the Sea Sentinels took a step forward and knocked on his door, notifying him to gather at the Sea Abyss Bai Ta to announce the military merit evaluation of the Auckland disaster relief mission.

Because rushing to the Auckland region for disaster relief is a collective mandatory mission, the evaluation results of military merit are also released together and announced uniformly.

For him, this is the real highlight.

After all, his roots in the Jin Quehua Dynasty are still the Sea Sentinels.

Only when the military merit comes down can Gao De use military merit to exchange for first-circle spell formulas, consolidate the foundation, and help himself awaken more powerful specialties.

And the second-circle promotion is imminent; whether it is the auxiliary magic potion needed for upgrading the circle or the second-circle spell formula after the successful upgrade, military merit is also needed for exchange.

Military merit is something that is never enough.

Gao De thanked the staff who conveyed the notification and hurried back to the bedroom to change into the Sea Hai Shao Bing uniform.

In such a formal occasion, the dress should be particular.

Subsequently, he hurried to the Sea Abyss Bai Ta.

As a result, when he arrived at the place, he found that he was early.

Because Duo'en City is still very large, not all magic users live in the dormitory provided by the Sea Sentinels like Gao De, and they can arrive in less than half an hour by carriage.

Not everyone is like Gao De, who has nothing to do, and can rush over immediately after receiving the notification.

Therefore, there is a two-hour gap between the notification time and the official military merit announcement time to ensure that as many people as possible can arrive.

Of course, everyone will not be left waiting, but some tea and fruit plates are arranged.

Everyone gathered in groups of three or five, chatting while eating berries.

At this moment, the topic is naturally around military merit.

Gao De also found a position to insert, but he did not speak, just listened to everyone chatting.

"This military merit evaluation was actually delayed for four days... Although there are many people, precisely because of this, there are also many people waiting for the military merit evaluation results; according to the usual practice, the above will handle special matters specially, and generally results can be produced within two days; this time it is rare."

"I seem to have heard that it is because someone among us has made a monstrous contribution; when evaluating military merit for him, the above opinions conflicted, so it was deadlocked for a day or two."

"Really or fake, monstrous contribution?"

"There is no wind without a hole; it is likely to be true."

"..."

Listening, Gao De found that the center of the topic revolved around himself.

But fortunately, they don't seem to know the specific name of the person who made the contribution.

But Gao De faintly noticed that as the topic of the crowd reached this point, a scorching gaze from another corner swept across him.

When he looked back in the direction of the gaze, he found that no one was looking at him there.

This consumed about two hours of time.

The number of magic users on the field became more and more, and in the end, it was close to three hundred.

At this time, a magic user wearing a colonel uniform walked out of the magic user tower, followed by several magic users, the lowest of whom was a captain.

Seeing the big man appear, all the Sea Hai Shao Bing magic users present immediately got up, came to the square, lined up, and stopped discussing, becoming quiet.

Although the atmosphere was solemn, in the solemnity, joy could not be hidden.

After all, this is the moment to receive merit.

The magic user in the colonel uniform came to the center of the square, and the gold-plated collar badge on the collar flowed with dazzling halo in the sun.

He coughed twice, his eyes slowly swept across the magic users gathered on the field; when his gaze swept over Gao De's figure in the crowd, he paused for a moment, the corners of his eyes raised slightly imperceptibly, and then he took out a folded sheepskin from his arms.

The back of the sheepskin was outlined with the pattern of waves.

He opened the sheepskin:

"The secondary plane rift suddenly opened, the dark tide surged, the whirlwind carried the natural disaster to ravage, the villages and towns collapsed, the disaster victims were displaced; at this critical moment, the Sea Hai Shao Bing magic users were all dispatched... In order to show the merits of the warriors, clarify the strictness of rewards and punishments, today I express your contributions and grant corresponding military merit rewards..."

After the preface was read, the colonel magic user began to expound on the scale of the Sea Hai Shao Bing magic users dispatched in the Auckland natural disaster, the disaster relief work done, and then a round of collective praise.

After this process was finished, it was the reward merit link that everyone was looking forward to most.

According to the merit from low to high, read them out in order:

"... magic user, won five third-class merits, Magic User Marco, won five third-class merits, Magic User Edwin, won six third-class merits, Magic User Ur, won six third-class merits..."

As long as you participate in the Auckland disaster relief mission, the lowest military merit reward is five third-class merits.

"Zuowen Burns, won eight third-class merits..."

Gao De heard a familiar name.

And it was after this name came out that he noticed the first small commotion in the crowd.

"It's not right, Zuowen Burns, why only eight third-class merits, it's unlikely..."

"Yes, he is the second batch of people to set off, why only such a little military merit, is it possible that he didn't do his best..."

Similar discussions are many.

Gao De's gaze followed everyone's discussion and looked at the figure standing straight at the very front; it was Zuowen Burns.

The latter had no expression on his face at the moment, as if he didn't hear the small discussion of the crowd, or as if he didn't care.

The colonel magic user would not pay attention to these small episodes and continued to read the merits methodically.

Until the number of third-class merits reached twenty, Gao De finally heard the first second-class merit.

"Magic User Thorn, transferred over a thousand disaster victims, won one second-class merit, ten third-class merits..."

Gao De noticed that when it was third-class merit, only the merit was recorded, and the corresponding performance merit was not read out, but now it began to use short language to indicate the merit.

This difference in treatment is very obvious.

Undoubtedly, this also made the Sea Hai Shao Bing magic users who performed well in the disaster relief mission feel secretly refreshed.

"Magic User Cicero, participated in the Auckland City Wind Knot disaster mission, performed outstandingly, won five second-class merits, third-class merit..."

Gao De listened carefully, his heart moved slightly, knowing that this Magic User Cicero should be the other Sea Hai Shao Bing magic user who responded to the Auckland Magic User Assembly Call with him.

It's just that they were not arranged on the same warship at the time, so there was no intersection.

After reading Magic User Cicero's merit, the colonel magic user paused for no reason, put down the sheepskin, looked at the restless crowd with burning eyes, and after being silent for one or two seconds, he spoke again:

"Magic User Gao De, the person who performed most outstandingly in this disaster relief mission, participated in the Auckland Wind Knot disaster mission, and established the first merit, avoiding major losses for Auckland City; in addition, transferred over ten thousand disaster victims, won the strong recommendation and praise of Count Roland; after resolution..."

"Exceptionally promote first-class apprentice magic user Gao De to sergeant magic user, reward three first-class merits, ten second-class merits, ten third-class merits."

Promoted?!

Three first-class merits?!

In the square, there was an uproar.

There is shock, and there is dissatisfaction.

Who is this Gao De? Why didn't it seem to have heard this name before; a first-class apprentice magic user, such an unknown person actually made such a monstrous contribution?

Is this really done by himself? Wouldn't it be some cheating method?

There are also some people who feel that they are convinced by Gao De's performance and merit, but they feel unfair about the reward; why is it worth rewarding three first-class merits?

First merit, first merit; a first-class apprentice magic user establishing the first merit must have ability, but there must also be luck components, and the one who really exerted great effort must be a high-circle magic user.

Not to say that his role is not great, but the reward gap is so large; how do those high-circle magic users who worked hard and exerted great effort think?

The source of the discussion comes from the generosity of the reward.

Because even Gao De himself was a bit unexpected about the reward.

He knew he could definitely get a first-class merit, but he never thought the quantity would reach three.

At the same time, he didn't expect that in addition to the military merit reward, he would also be promoted in military rank.

After all, he hasn't been in the Sea Sentinels for a year yet, hasn't passed the apprentice period; according to the rules, the military rank cannot exceed the apprentice magic user this year.

Here, facing the discussion on the field, the colonel magic user who had been ignoring it before, at this time, his expression was stern, "Do you have any opinions? If you have, just put it forward to me directly; don't discuss it below like a villain."

His words were not polite at all, and the slight anger in his tone was even more obvious.

As soon as these words were finished, the surroundings were suddenly quiet.

Gao De didn't expect that a colonel magic user who was a stranger and in a high position would actually stand up for him.

"All military merit evaluations are read out; since there is no opinion, everyone can disperse." The colonel magic user saw this and didn't say anything more, put the sheepskin into his arms, flicked his sleeves, and left.

The magic users remaining in the square saw this and began to disperse.

It's just that everyone's eyes were wandering on the field directly or implicitly, looking for who this person named "Gao De" was.

—Gao De usually doesn't socialize, so not many people know him in the Sea Sentinels.

Facing the attention and search of the crowd, Gao De walked towards the magic user tower without looking sideways.

With military merit in hand, he didn't want to wait for a moment, anxious to exchange for spell formulas and take a look at the good things on the first-class merit exchange list!
