Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 883: Chapter 331: Looting the Granary, the Great Mage’s Magic Tower!

Cao Xing casually picked up a piece and glanced at it, finding it to be some magic notes.

However, the content of the notes was rather haphazard, seemingly recorded by the Great Mage haphazardly, and was of no help to him.

Cao Xing continued to search, his gaze sweeping around.

And at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.

”Oh? They didn’t take these things away?”

On the wall beside him, he saw rows of wooden bookshelves.

On top were crammed a large number of books; at a rough estimate, at least over a hundred!

His gaze swept over them, and the names of the books appeared one by one.

”Not as evil as you imagine”

”On the Origin of Magic”

”Thirty-three Days Imprisoned by the Female Night Demon...”

”On the Taste of the Vampire Woman and the Female Night Demon”

...

Cao Xing’s mouth twitched.

”The range of this Great Mage’s interests... is quite broad...”

He was also not one to refuse, putting all one hundred and more books into his backpack.

”Nice, nice, my territory’s library is just about to be built, these books can be taken back to supplement the book collection.”

After finishing up with the books here, he continued to carefully search inside.

But it was clear that the Light Church’s looting was extremely thorough.

Cao Xing only found a few low-level scrolls in the corner, and some stones containing weak magic power.

[Obtained: Second Order Wind Blade Technique Magic Scroll]

[Obtained: Third-tier Wind Blade Strike Magic Scroll]

[Obtained: Magic Crystal Stone (Green)]

...

”Oh? Magic Scroll, what is this?”

Cao Xing took a look at the attributes.

[Second Order Wind Blade Technique Magic Scroll]

[Tool Effect: After injecting a small amount of magic power, you can directly release a second order Wind Blade Technique, causing 112% tearing damage to a single enemy]

...

[Third-tier Wind Blade Strike Magic Scroll]

[Tool Effect: After injecting a small amount of magic power, you can directly release a third-tier spell, Wind Blade Strike, causing 137% wind attribute damage to three enemies in front]

(Note: Great Mage level mages can imprint their spells onto blank magic scrolls, requiring only a small amount of magic power to cast)

...

Cao Xing’s eyes showed a sudden realization.

”So that’s how it is, these magic scrolls are quite useful, as they can directly use spells from other professions.”

”And most importantly, these things have no cooling time.”

”If the number of magic scrolls in my hand is sufficient, I can directly unleash them all at once, using skills to overwhelm the enemy!”

Of course, this comes at a great cost.

After all, it’s easy to see that the creation of magic scrolls is not simple.

Moreover, the minimum level to create them is Great Mage, which already sets a frighteningly high threshold.

Therefore, these scrolls must be extremely precious.

Cao Xing thought: ”Seems like this Great Mage is a Wind Element Mage?”

”Speaking of which, my territory doesn’t yet have a Wind Element Mage.”

In his hand appeared a few black small stones, containing rather weak magic power.

Took a look at the attributes.

[Magic Crystal Stone (Green)]

[Effect: Crystal stones containing weak magic power, mages in ’meditation’ state can absorb magic power from them, increasing 1000 experience value and somewhat enhancing magic affinity (single-day usage limit: 10)]

(Note: A precious crystal stone to help Mage Apprentices enhance magic power, its source is quite rare, with only a small amount of crystal stones contained in some magic-rich veins.)

...

”Oh? These magic crystal stones not only increase experience value but also affinity?”

”To those Mage Apprentices and Basic Level Mages, this thing is quite good!”

As mentioned before, the natives of this world cannot rapidly level up through killing enemies if they haven’t joined under the Lord’s domain.

But with such crystal stones, they also have a way to speed up their strengthening.

Adding the assistance of [Mage Tower], a Basic Level Mage can ascend to Intermediate Mage, and even Advanced Mage in a short time.

Of course, this is quite costly, akin to the in-game purchases among natives.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, ”Though it has been searched once, the harvest on the first floor is quite decent.”

”The Great Mage really proves impressive value in even small remnants.”

Soon, he continued to the second floor to start exploring.

The situation on the second floor was similar to the first, cabinets in disarray, everything had been searched.

Including floors three, four, five, and six, they were much like this.

But through Cao Xing’s careful examination, he still obtained some good things.

[Obtained: Second Order ’Wind Blade Technique’ Magic Scroll*5]

[Obtained: Third-tier ’Wind Blade Strike’ Magic Scroll*3]

[Obtained: Third-tier ’Wind Rush Technique’ Magic Scroll*2]

[Obtained: Magic Crystal Stone (Green)*32]

[Obtained: Magic Crystal Stone (Blue)*15]

...

Took a look at the attributes of the two new items.

[Third-tier ’Wind Rush Technique’ Magic Scroll]

[Scroll Effect: After injecting a small amount of magic power, allow self or friendly party to release ’Wind Rush Technique’, increasing move speed by 20% for the next 30 seconds]

...

[Magic Crystal Stone (Blue)]

[Effect: Crystal stones containing some magic power, in ’meditation’ state, allowing the extraction of magic power, increasing 3000 experience value and somewhat enhancing magic affinity (single-day usage limit: 10)]

...

”Oh? This Wind Rush Technique is quite good, it can directly increase move speed by 20%.”

”Just don’t know if the skills released by this kind of magic scroll can be enhanced by Eternal Power?”

Cao Xing decided to try it immediately.

He directly took out a scroll with a faint Wind Aura from his backpack.

Following the method on it, he injected a bit of magic power.

Moments later, the scroll in his hand burst forth with an intangible gust of wind.

That gust fell upon Cao Xing’s legs, making him feel that his whole body became lighter.

[Successfully used [Third-tier ’Wind Rush Technique’ Magic Scroll], move speed increases by 20% for 30 seconds, influenced by Talent [Eternal Power], the spell has become a permanent state...]

...

”Haha! It can indeed work!”

Cao Xing was very excited.

After all, a 20% move speed boost is no joke.

Currently, Hilda and Victoria are not by his side, so he can’t benefit from the aura effect on them, equating to losing a 50% speed boost, now roughly compensated.

(PS: Aura itself is permanently existent, not affected by Eternal Power, otherwise it would conflict with settings, it was set like this before, the author is not handicapping the protagonist oh ovo)

Currently, the move speed buff on him is [Queen’s Will]+[Black Mist Totem]+[Wind Rush Technique], altogether reaching a 120% speed boost.

Under this speed, even similar-tier leader-level assassins would find it difficult to catch up with him.

”Nice, nice, this way, survival ability has increased quite a bit.”

Cao Xing’s mouth showed a hint of a smile.

Then, he directly arrived at the top floor of the tower.

This place seemed to be the usual hangout spot of the Great Mage.

Inside were many of his living utensils, wooden bucket, wood bed, wood basin, etc.

On the ground was a magic array circled by Magic Crystal Stones.

However, those precious Magic Crystal Stones had all been taken away.

”Damn, those bastards really cleaned this place out!”

”One day, I will find your lair and seize all these resources back.”

Cao Xing said with hatred, unwillingly continuing to scan around.

And at this moment, he happened to catch a glimpse of a gray-white treasure box!

It was being used as a storage box, casually placed in the corner of the tower, covered in dust.

”Oh? Could it be a Silver Treasure Chest?”

With a bit of curiosity, Cao Xing walked forward, and the System Prompt appeared.

[Discover an unlocked Bright Moon Treasure Box, would you like to open it?]

Cao Xing: ”!!!”

”Whoa! It’s actually a Bright Moon Treasure Box!”

...
