Su Lun observed the growth of crystal beasts. With the existence of radiant energy, these crystal beasts did not feel any discomfort. Moreover, compared with the previous area, the area here is larger and the food is abundant. After coming here, the growth rate of these crystal beasts has accelerated several times.
The scales on the back of the Crystal Beast grow a lot of crystals. These crystals are transparent and have high purity. When they caught these crystal beasts, the crystals on their backs just grew a few centimeters high. When they were in the North Town, the crystals on the back of the Crystal Beast grew slowly, but after they came here, they grew to the size of a fist in only a few days.
According to the growth of the Crystal Beast, these crystals will grow to 20 cm in a week, and then fall off naturally from the Crystal Beast. The crystal beast can grow ten crystals at a time. According to the growth rate, it can be harvested once a month.
At present, there are 37 crystal beasts in this farm. Except for three newborn cubs, the others are adult crystal beasts. According to this figure, Su Lun can harvest 340 magic crystals every month. Of course, this is only temporary, and the crystal beast will reproduce.
According to Hathaway's research, it takes almost three months for a crystal beast to grow up from birth to adulthood. When the arcane masters transformed them, they deliberately accelerated their growth rate, but the accelerated growth rate also caused the short vitality of these crystal beasts.
The life span of these crystal beasts is five to seven years. In fact, in the fourth year, these crystal beasts will gradually age and the speed of crystal growth on their backs will be reduced. In the last half of their life, the crystal on their bodies will completely stop growing. Of course, this crystal is not defective. On the contrary, these crystals become black crystals because they are contaminated with death energy.
Black crystal can store all kinds of negative energy. Shadow school and necromancer school often use this crystal to do experiments. According to the notebook obtained by sulun from the necromancer, this crystal is also one of the materials for making skeleton magic images.
The skeleton magic image is said to be the most cost-effective of all magic images. The main material of the skeleton magic image is white bone. This thing does not need cost at all, and its strength is good. It is about the same as the rock magic image, but the cost is only a fraction of the rock magic image.
Moreover, the strength of the skeleton magic image is directly proportional to the bone materials and other raw materials they use. If you take out the skeleton of a giant dragon to make it, although the strength of the skeleton magic image can not reach the legend, it is also a four-level high-level level level. But few people will do so. Isn't it better to have the skeleton of a giant dragon and turn it into an ancient dragon or a dragon Lich?
In addition to making magic images, black crystals can also be used as spell casting materials. It's good to produce black crystal and give it to Karina. Anyway, only she uses shadow energy in the north town.
The crystal beast has an oestrus period every year. During the oestrus period, it does not grow crystals. The oestrus period lasts about a week. The mother beast also does not grow crystals after pregnancy. About two months later, the crystal beast will give birth. A Crystal Beast usually produces two to four cubs.
If it goes well, the number of crystal beasts in Zhenbei city will exceed 100 next year, which is good news for Su Lun. Moreover, with the passage of time, there are no natural enemies and sufficient food, the number of crystal beasts here will increase rapidly.
I came back from the secret place and happened to meet Hathaway.
"Suellen, I'm looking for you." seeing Suellen, Hathaway brightened her eyes and hurried over. Wearing a loose wizard's robe, she outlined her body in an amazing arc.
"What's the matter?" said Suellen, looking up at something.
"I'm going to recruit some wizard apprentices. Now the wizard tower has begun to be built. After the construction is completed, it needs a lot of people, so I'm going to train from now on." Hathaway raised her right hand and put her hair close to her ear, revealing her delicate ears.
Su Lun nodded and said, "it's really time to recruit wizard apprentices. You're a great wizard now. It's unreasonable to have no apprentices. In addition, there will be a wizard college here in the future. More people will be needed at that time."
"Then I'll ask someone to count the number of children aged 8 to 12 in the territory, and then gather them for testing," Hathaway said with a smile.
"I'll sign an order now to let the school-age children in the territory gather in the central square of the city." Su Lun acted vigorously and immediately prepared to do it.
"Don't worry, the test crystal ball used to test whether those people have the qualification to become wizards has not been made yet." Hathaway quickly pulled SULEN.
"Well, well, when you're finished, you can give orders."
Two days later, the city hall issued a strange order that all children over the age of eight and under the age of twelve in the territory, male and female, were required to gather in the central square of the city. People were confused about this order, but some gossip began to spread wildly in the north town.
"Did you hear that? The Lord asked all the children between the ages of eight and twelve to gather together," said a thin young man who looked like a bamboo pole.
"Nonsense, the officials have given orders since this morning. It is said that this is the Lord's choice of servants. This is a great opportunity. Once selected, it will be prosperous!" said another man excitedly.
"Mike, you're so excited. You're twenty and don't have a chance!" laughed another man, who was not tall but strong.
"I don't have a chance, but my sister Amy is eleven years old and just within the requirements. If I'm lucky to be elected, I'll be a brother!" Mike said proudly.
"If you were lucky enough to be liked by the Lord, it would be better!"
"Don't dream, it's not to recruit servants this time. I heard from my brother that it's the meaning of the wizard. The wizard wants to recruit apprentices." just at this time, a man dressed in the clothes of grass-roots officials in the north city of the town came over and said.
"It's not easy to be a wizard apprentice. It's a high wizard who can cast magical spells!"
"Wizard!?" hearing the official's words, the surroundings became quiet for a moment, and then a louder voice broke out the next second.
"My sister has a chance to be a wizard!" Mike turned and ran home without thinking.
"What are you doing? You're going to work in a while." the worker nearby shouted.
"I'll ask my sister to sign up quickly!" Mike ran away without looking back.
......
"Your Excellency, we also ask to recruit apprentices." early this morning, as soon as Su Lun had breakfast, she saw Karina and grace coming together.
"You want to recruit wizard apprentices too?" sullen was surprised.
"No, we recruit warlocks!" Karina said. "Although warlocks can't compare with wizards, in the early stage, warlocks are easier to form combat effectiveness than wizards."
"Well, you can choose together this time. Those with warlock qualification will be given to you, and those with wizard qualification will be given to Hathaway." Su Lun thought for a moment and agreed directly.
"Your Excellency, there's another question. I'd like you to expand the test scope to 18 years old," said Grace.
"Why?" sulun frowned, and the age limit was extended to 18, which was several times more than the previous population.
Grace nodded and said, "the Warlock's awakening starts from adolescence. The vast majority of warlocks' initial awakening is around the age of 14, and the latest is 18. The probability of awakening after the age of 18 is very low."
Warlocks and wizards are different. Their awakening depends on the power of blood. Warlocks' awakening is usually in adolescence, a period when they gradually mature physically and psychologically. In this period, because of the rapid growth of their bodies, some forces hidden in blood will easily lead to the awakening of warlocks' talents.
Generally speaking, teenagers who have not had reproductive sex are more likely to wake up. To put it bluntly, they are virgins and virgins. Moreover, after these behaviors occurred during this period, it is likely that the awakened warlock talent gene will be transmitted to the mother and hidden again.
Therefore, in the warlock family, it is usually required to prohibit all sexual behavior before the age of 20. If there is no awakening warlock blood, the family will arrange them to marry and multiply as soon as possible to contribute more new blood to the family. After awakening the warlock talent, sexual behavior is also not allowed until the blood is stable.
Some warlock families in pursuit of pure blood will adopt the practice of close relative marriage. This practice can indeed improve the probability of warlock awakening, but it will also bring another serious consequence, that is, blood disease. The probability of congenital diseases such as mental retardation, physical disability and so on in this warlock family will increase greatly.
Moreover, this practice will also cause difficulties in reproduction, and the number of families will be less and less. In the past, there were still many warlock families, but later, after research and development, this phenomenon gradually decreased.
The Warlock's awakening period will last until the age of 30, but it will be stable at the age of 20. After the physical development is gradually stable, the probability of blood awakening will be reduced rapidly.
Few warlocks wake up after the age of 25. In this case, they may wake up for external reasons, such as taking some drugs containing blood effect or contacting some items, which stimulate the blood in the body and make the blood unstable.
Warlock's awakening is applicable to most races, but it only needs to convert the puberty of various races. Of course, there will be some differences.
Generally, warlocks are more likely to awaken and appear in nobles. The blood sources of many nobles come from ancient human heroes. Su Lun now doubts whether those human heroes in ancient times are the descendants of those who made blood warlocks in the era of the arcane empire.
