“Raise your hands and spread your thighs. Don’t cover them. Let me take a good look. ”
Soria’s tone did not change.
Matthew repeatedly told himself that all of this was to obtain spell constructs.
Gradually, his slightly restless heart calmed down. Soria walked around him and asked suspiciously,
“Is your body not very healthy?”
Matthew thought for a moment.
He turned off the temperance domain.
A moment later.
Soria nodded in satisfaction.
“Yes, you look very healthy.
Next, I will conduct a round of magic tests on you to determine the final implant site.”
As she spoke.
Circles of colourful magic runes surrounded Matthew’s body like a huge silkworm cocoon.
Five minutes later.
The magic light dissipated.
Soria took out a magic pen, grabbed Matthew’s wrists, and drew a cross on each of them.
Then, she turned Matthew around and drew a cross on the inside of his shoulder blade.
Then, she opened Matthew’s thigh.
She drew three crosses on his inner thigh.
Matthew could feel the skin that was touched by the magic pen burning in pain.
However, the pain did not last long.
He felt some mischievous magical energy enter, but the existence of this magical energy was something he had never seen before. Its nature was also more stable than normal magic energy.
“It’s done. That’s it.”
Soria said.
Matthew’s clothes that had been stripped off earlier suddenly appeared on his body again.
Pay up. I’ve already left a hole for you to solidify your spell. Three days later, bring the remaining 30,000 Gold Coins to me, and I’ll perform the spell- solidifying ritual for you.”
Soria ordered him to leave.
Matthew reluctantly handed over the money.
Then, with the help of the fat cat Ah Ji, he left Soria’s Crystal Castle.
[Hint: Relying on your own willpower, you resisted the temptation of Soria’s Construct. This is a shocking feat. You have once again stepped into the field of temperance.]
As a reward for stepping into the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities:
Cheat Meal (Every ten days, you can choose to practice Temperance in the form of self-deception. On that day, no matter how indulgent you are, it will not affect the accumulation of elements in Temperance. Instead, it may speed up the progress of domain exploration)
Ascetic Monk (You can choose to eliminate a worldly desire to obtain a stronger attribute bonus)
A flexible bottom line (abstinence or indulgence, that is the question. After obtaining this ability, you will have an extremely low chance of getting involved in the domain of indulgence)
“Is Spending 500,000 a day considered a success in temperance?”
Matthew was a little surprised.
He looked at the three abilities.
First of all, he had to eliminate the ascetic monk. Li Weiqi probably wouldn’t even choose this.
He was hesitating between “Cheat Meal ” and ” A flexible bottom line.” In the end, he chose the former.
Matthew was very confident in his ” talent ” in developing the domain. Even if he wanted to master the domain of indulgence, there was no need to develop it through this ability.
On the contrary, the cheat meal could make him less self-restrained sometimes.
The occasional indulgence helped to make the body and mind happy.
Even if he didn’t need it now.
It would definitely come in handy in the future.
Soon after.
The second exploration of the Temperance Domain also gave Matthew a permanent status.
[Absolute Focus: Your focus is permanently +1]
The explanation was simple.
The effect was very powerful.
All of Matthew’s ” Focus ” buffs were temporary.
Absolute Focus was too good for a Mage!
It seems that as long as I face temptation and show restraint, I can enter the temperance domain. Is that not the life of a Tauren too?
It’s a pity that there are too few temptations that can trigger the domain.” Matthew left the Crystal Palace with his imagination running wild. He planned to return to Rolling Stone Town as soon as possible to borrow money.
However, in the Teleportation Hall of the Cauldron House.
Matthew was surprised to bump into Edmond and another old mage with a kind face and a slightly unfocused gaze.
When Edmond saw Matthew, he smiled.
“Are you back from Soria’s place?”
Matthew nodded.
Edmond immediately looked at the old mage with a gloating expression.
” I told you that you were too slow. Soria had his eyes on this kid for a long time and specially arranged for Margaret to be his teacher. That’s why she took advantage of the situation and got ahead of him without leaving a trace.” The old mage shook his head and sighed.
Indeed, no one in the Alliance knows how to earn money better than those two women. Here, I thought I was fast enough.”
Edmond smiled and introduced to Matthew,
” This is the Guardian of the North, Mr. Roderick. He’s famous for his prophecy spells, the creation of magic items, and the imitation of ancient artefacts. Of course, he’s even more famous for the high-quality imitations produced by Roderick’s factory. You should have heard of him.”
Matthew hurriedly bowed.
Edmond added,
Roderick heard that you made a lot of money, so he came all the way from the north to sell you a batch of products. Unfortunately, it seems that his imitation Semi-Divine Equipment might not be able to sell this time.”
He saw Roderick sighing.
Matthew was very surprised.
Was this group of Legendary mages having some kind of competition?
