Chapter 250: 250, Thor, Mana Pool Enchantment_1
Translator: 549690339
Accompanied by forked lightning that covered half the sky, the giant figure of a being gradually emerged in the sky.
This was the second most powerful entity in the Lai Yin Empire, the seventh-rank peak thunder mage — Thor.
Thor’s body stood over 53 meters tall, slightly higher than Su Yu’s Mage Tower, and weighed approximately 75,000 tons.
A creature of such mass wasn’t typical of the human race.
Thor’s true identity was a member of the Mogu Clan, sworn enemies of the Pandamen.
Long, long ago, the Pandamen were under the rule of the Mogu Clan.
Over a thousand years ago, the Pandamen overthrew the oppressive rule of the Mogu Empire, establishing a brand-new Pandamen Empire.
The Mogu Empire was subsequently fragmented, scattering its people worldwide.
Thor was a descendant of the displaced Mogu Clan.
Upon noticing Thor’s arrival, two figures quickly ascended into the sky from the city of Aphi, namely Alex and Camilla, Sanctuary mages of the Scholar’s Temple.
The headquarters of the Scholar’s Temple had already been relocated to Aphi city, where Alex and Camilla had long been residing.
Thus, upon Thor’s appearance, they immediately ascended, warily watching him.
The players in the city also looked up towards the colossal Thor in the sky, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Alex gave Thor a respectful mage’s greeting and cautiously inquired, “You should be Thor from the Lai Yin Empire, Your Excellency. May I ask what brings you here?”
A mighty figure like Thor would probably outmatch the combined strength of both himself and Camilla, tenfold! Could it be that a disaster was about to befall the city of Aphi?
Thor’s appearance wasn’t much different from that of a human; his light blue skin accentuated his imposing, muscular physique, with exceptionally thick limbs.
He outright ignored the presence of the two ‘little fellows’ before him, instead extending his spiritual energy to search within the entire city radius.
Shortly, he found the Mage Tower, and Su Yu who was standing by the window of the tower.
Su Yu didn’t yet possess the ability to fly.
So, he jumped out of the window, activating the item [Tina’s Golden Wings].
A pair of soft gold wings over a meter long unfurled behind Su Yu.
Driven by the wings, Su Yu was propelled into the sky like an arrow released from a taut bowstring, reaching the same altitude as Thor.
He then used the [Fragment of Hifan’s Soul] to cast the Priest-class spell [Levitation], enabling him to float in mid-air.
Upon seeing the fragment in Su Yu’s hands, Thor instantly knew who he was dealing with and looked in his direction.
Su Yu returned Thor’s glance with a smile, giving him the mage’s greeting and saying, “Your Excellency Thor, I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon!”
“Anduin urged me to hasten. As I had nothing better to do, I thought I might just see what’s in store.” Thor’s mighty voice echoed in the sky. “Let’s cut to the chase and complete the trade.”
As soon as Thor finished speaking, his body transformed into a flash of lightning and sped into Su Yu’s Mage Tower.
Su Yu hastily cancelled the [Levitation] spell and began to freefall.
As he neared the window of the Mage Tower, he used [Flash Skill] to smoothly enter the tower.
Throughout this, Thor hadn’t spared a single glance towards Alex and Camilla, completely ignoring their existence.
However, the two of them dared not voice any objections; they simply chuckled self-deprecatingly and returned to the Scholar’s Temple headquarters.
Inwardly, however, they couldn’t help but hold Su Yu in higher regard.
Thor was one of the top ten strongest beings in the human world. If Su Yu could manage to call him over, that meant his connections were quite formidable!
Inside the Mage Tower.
Thor’s body had already shrunk to the size of a normal person, standing over two meters tall. He placed his hand on the control panel of the Mana Pool, getting an understanding of its abilities.
Upon Su Yu’s return to the Mage Tower, Thor looked at him and said indifferently, “Your Mana Pool has very good potential. With my enchantment, its performance should improve by about 30%.”
“30% Thank you very much!” Su Yu was elated.
An improvement of 30% in performance would certainly upgrade the Mana Pool to ‘Epic’ quality, greatly reducing the time required for his promotion to High-Ranking.
“However ” Thor stroked his chin, slowly saying, “Anduin wants me to pass on a message to you ”
“If I surrender to the Imperial Army?” Su Yu quickly guessed and blurted out.
Thor was completely taken aback by the message, “???”
“Ahem.” Su Yu stifled an awkward cough. “What message from His Excellency Anduin?”
Thor spared Su Yu a glance, responding, “I own a peak sixth-rank [Heart of a Fiery Thunder Dragon]. If you’re willing, this heart can be made into an enchantment material for your Mana Pool.”
“After successful enchantment, the Mana Pool’s performance can be further improved by 70%.”
“70%?! Are you serious?” Su Yu’s heart thumped.
However, he calmed down quickly. “So Your Excellency Thor, what’s the cost?”
“The cost would be ten fragments of Hifan’s Soul. Of course, if you can’t afford it, just forget I ever mentioned it.” Thor crossed his arms behind his back and made an outrageous demand.
“Ten pieces?” Su Yu involuntarily rolled his eyes.
No one knew the exact number of fragments of Hifan’s soul that existed, but it wouldn’t exceed 200. And here was Thor asking for 10 of them offhand!
“At most 2 pieces. I can only manage to beg for 2 from the Princess. She may not be willing to give me more.” Su Yu bargained back.
“Eight pieces, not one less.”
“Alright, let me add one more to my offer. 3 pieces. Any more and I’ll probably have to sell myself to the Princess.”
“Seven pieces ”
Following an intense round of bargaining, both parties finally settled the deal at the price of “four soul fragments.”
If Hifan were still alive, one could only wonder what he would think of their haggling over his soul fragments.
Once the terms were agreed upon, Thor transformed into a bolt of lightning and headed back to the Lai Yin Empire for the materials, while Su Yu made his way to Forest City to request the fragments from the Princess.
The Princess agreed readily when she heard that Su Yu needed the fragments.
However, she wasn’t about to simply hand over the fragments to Su Yu without a price.
Eventually, Su Yu managed to procure four soul fragments at a cost of 20 million spiritual energy coins each, spending a total of 80 million spiritual energy coins to bring the fragments back to his territory.
When Su Yu returned to the Mage Tower, Thor had already been waiting there for a while.
Su Yu displayed the five fragments to Thor, who in turn took out [Heart of a Fiery Thunder Dragon].
After both parties confirmed the items in their possession, Thor officially started his work.
During the process of Thor’s enchantment, Su Yu, Alex and the others stood outside the tower, watching.
The entire Mage Tower was enveloped by crackling arcs of electricity.
Clouds shrouded the sky above, occasionally giving way to flashes of colossal lightning that were absorbed by the Mage Tower.
Finally, after six hours of enchantment, the electric arcs, thunder, and lightning gradually subsided.
“Su Yu, why don’t you come in and check? I have finished the enchantment.” Thor’s deep voice sounded from within the Mage Tower.
“Very well!” Su Yu had been eager for quite a while and immediately used a few [Flash Skills] to rush into the tower.
He quickly ascended the stairs to the third floor.
In the center of the third-floor space, the newly enchanted Mana Pool appeared before Su Yu.
