Chapter 256 Advance Remuneration

Another week has passed, and as the last potion in the body is digested, the girls have begun a new round of upgrades.

Nora and Medea took the "Psychic II" potion obtained from the mutation in Runfield Town at the same time, and were promoted to Level 4 and Level 6 respectively.

"Psychic II", as an enhanced version of "Psychic I", can activate mind reading at a longer distance, and can activate mind control without looking directly into the opponent's eyes. It's just that if you don't look directly, it will take longer before the control is completed.

In addition, "Mind II" has also added several new abilities, including "Implantation of Thoughts" - which can make the other party have the urge to do something without realizing it, and "Psychological Blind Spot" - which can make the other party subconsciously ignore themselves. The mage's life-saving skills on the battlefield.

More capabilities need to be further explored and developed.

Hidley took "Frost II" and her level rose to Lv.6. Compared with Frost I, she can now produce lower cold air, which not only adheres to the weapon, but can also spread to a distance of two meters around the body, affecting even close enemies.

The ability derived from this is "frozen". Direct contact with the body can quickly reduce the temperature of the touched object to minus 25 degrees, causing the body to quickly suffer frostbite.

Of course, due to her own lack of mental strength, she is currently unable to condense an ultra-low-temperature ice spell and throw it like a frost mage.

The real arcane mage Sheila recently took "Storm II" and her level was promoted to Lv. 6.

Storm II gives her the ability to manipulate a wider range of air pressure, as well as more refined manipulation techniques. Not only can she create hurricanes in straight directions, but she can also create rotating tornadoes. She can use pressure to condense the air into a needle shape, directly pierce the opponent's body and explode, or she can create an area of ​​progressively ultra-low pressure, forcibly sucking in surrounding enemies.

Compared to Hilda, Sheila, who has stronger mental power, can play more tricks with the storm sequence. The so-called mage not only relies on logical thinking, but imagination is also very important.

Mi'er is temporarily unable to take "Luck II" due to the residual "Luck I" in her body. So far, the team already has 1 Lv.7, 3 Lv.6, 3 Lv.5, and 1 Lv. 4, 1 Lv.3.

Except for Mi'er and Sidrifa, everyone else has no potions for subsequent upgrades, and work in this area needs to be started as soon as possible.

After listening to Nora's report, Asker also felt quite troubled by the potion issue. He could only find Eleanor and ask, "Can your father advance part of the mission reward to us in advance?"

Eleanor became embarrassed: "Isn't this good..."

"What's wrong with this?" Asik tried to persuade, "We won't default on our debt anyway. The task will be completed sooner or later, so why not advance part of the reward first? Your Weisbach family must have a warehouse of extraordinary materials, right? Yes? Don’t have a finished potion? Is there anything the girls in our team can use?”

"I don't know." Eleanor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You have to ask my father."

"Then why don't you go and ask?" Ask said.

"The problem is, I have confidence in our strength, but my father doesn't know it!" Eleanor spread her hands and expressed her helplessness, "Even when he entrusted this task to us, he relied on the guarantee of Lord Appilios. Not for my sake!"

"Sheila?" Ask turned around and said, "Anyway, your grandpa has also guaranteed it. Can you ask him to say something nice and ask Eleanor's father to pay the reward in advance?"

"This..." Sheila didn't expect this topic, so why did it suddenly turn on her head, "Isn't this appropriate? The Weisbach family's extraordinary material warehouse is probably not something that the Duke can decide alone. We also need to ask their family’s demigod’s opinion.”

"Now that we haven't accomplished anything, we need to be paid in advance. Even Eleanor's father doesn't have anything to convince the family demigod, right?"

"How could there be no merit?" Asker retorted, "Didn't we help them win the knight's battle?"

"That's true." Sheila changed her words and said, "But the value of a victory in a knight's battle may not be comparable to that of a Level II potion."

"Then as long as there is something of equal value, the Duke can be allowed to make a deal with the demigod, right?" Ask said thoughtfully, "Nora!"

"Huh?" Nora looked up.

"Borrow some money." Ask said, "Pledge it with Eleanor's father, and then exchange it for a few bottles of potions in advance. When we complete the task, we will get the money back and pay you back."

Nora:? ? ?

"It's okay to borrow money." Nora frowned her beautiful eyebrows, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"First borrow a few million marks to deal with the emergency." Aske said.

The girls fell down one after another. Is the leader going crazy under too much pressure? Just ask someone for millions of marks, regardless of whether Nora can pay it!

Sure enough, Nora showed a troubled expression and thought for a long time before saying:

"Yeah, but I don't have that much money with me. Does the Weisbach family accept bank transfers? If I must have cash, can I have it transported by helicopter?"

puff! Everyone almost squirted, this girl can really handle it!

"Our family has a bank account in Venice..." Eleanor just said it subconsciously, but suddenly realized, this is nothing! Why did it involve borrowing money?

"That's not the problem!" She said frantically, "The problem is whether millions can be exchanged for magic potion!"

"A bottle of Level II potion can only cost tens of thousands of pounds at most. When converted into Marks, multiply the exchange rate by 2 and it's almost the same. The problem is that there are very few Level II potions circulating in the market, so the price is usually negotiable. Depending on the location, many sellers simply specify formulas, materials or potions of the same level in exchange for no money." Medea reminded, "Even if you are willing to buy it at a premium, the Weisbach family may not be willing to sell it, right? After all, they are not short of money.”

"You Weisbach family are too stingy," Asker said. "When we first aided Olympia City, Sheila's grandfather distributed 6 bottles of Level II potions and 2 bottles of Level I potions!"

"I apologize to you for my family." Eleanor burst into tears. This was not something she could decide.

"That being the case," Ask said, "then it's okay to sponsor two power armors in advance as a reward for winning this knight's battle, right? One for you, and one for Sidley. As long as you get the equipment, If you have the advantage, then this high-risk mission will be much simpler.”

"This should be okay." Eleanor said quickly with relief, "I'm going to talk to my father right now."

Watching Eleanor disappear into Hearth Island, Sheila suddenly said:

"So, to get people to agree to open the windows, you have to pretend to offer to tear down the entire roof?"

"Wow!" The girls suddenly exclaimed, "So your goal from the beginning was just to get the power armor? The leader is really cunning!"
