Thinking of this, Delta said to Farhan: "Since it is a research result of the Academy of Natural Sciences, it makes sense. Maybe it can benefit you and me."
The short guard Farhan's expression was well controlled, but he just kept his doubts and contempt deep in his heart. These emotions were still captured by Delta, who had strong inspiration.
At the same time, the elf hybrid unexpectedly discovered that Louis next to him was extremely disdainful of his words, and was a bit arrogant, looking down on the promotion of this technology by the Academy of Natural Sciences.
Delta was born in a modern society with advanced technology. He has a natural affinity for all kinds of knowledge and technological updates that can improve people's livelihood. Because of this, he is extremely resistant to old-school people. Now Louis is attracted to him in his heart.
Divided into the conservative camp.
People with different views will not become friends no matter how long they get along, especially when one of them can recognize the other person's thoughts, they will feel uncomfortable just being together.
This is how Delta feels now. Fortunately, he has passed the age of forcibly correcting things he doesn't like, so he does not continue to preach. His age also destined that his opinions will not be taken seriously.
I will return to the academy in eight days, and a few more words at this time will mean eight days of unhappiness.
He still has to take care of his outing experience.
Returning to the topic, Delta took two guards and wandered among the crowds in the grocery market, looking for unscrupulous traders who might be suspected of fraud, intending to use them as food for him to assimilate the nightmare spirit and improve the fusion of the spirit body.
Although it is said to be a crowd, it is actually not very dense. The ratio of buyers to sellers is about two to one.
It is said that because Disorn was at war with Jin Gou, many workers and farmers followed the planters back from the south, where the temperature was pleasant, and abandoned the land and industries there, causing the production in the south to decrease.
Now the only ones with the courage and support to do business further south are the Dark Horse Chamber of Commerce and another Long Ship Chamber of Commerce. They have their own army and fleet, and can go directly to Caledura for trade through the inland sea in the southwest. There is no need to worry too much about war.
infringement.
Without goods, it loses its appeal, and fewer and fewer people are willing to come to the south to make a living. Due to the large-scale changes brought about by the war, the commercial city of Denches has become less prosperous year by year. Now only a few people can come here to trade.
There are several forces, and they all come for the academy.
Thirty years ago, the MPs here could barely be on an equal footing with the mages of the academy, because they were nobles and very rich.
Things are different now. The congressmen even want to please the college's fledgling students, hoping that they will recall their good deeds in the future, as well as the convenience of door-to-door delivery provided by various merchants in Denches, and then use family resources
to support North-South trade and restore the glory of Danches, especially in terms of taxation.
"How do you sell this thing?" Delta walked around the market and almost finished reading it in less than forty minutes. Finally, he squatted down in front of a stall and pointed to a thumb-sized piece of animal skin spread on the ground.
, asked the turbid pale white stone with some light transmission.
He has been walking for so long, which means this place is more like a target.
The other items in this stall also looked unreliable, including a complete cow skull, a whale bone amulet with messy runes, a black-covered parchment book, etc., which were very consistent with what he had seen at the antique market in his previous life.
Image of counterfeit dealer.
The stall owner was a very ordinary-looking blond man with a faint fishy smell. When he saw the two elf mixed-blood guards behind him who were wearing leather armor, carrying shields, and weapons hanging from their waists, his eyes couldn't help but wince, but
Still calmly replied: "The deal will be done for 3 crowns."
The elf hybrid complained.
With the training in the college's basic mineral identification courses and geochemistry courses, Delta could tell at a glance that this was a piece of quartz. Although the composition was similar to those of expensive gems, it was actually not valuable.
"Then do you know what it is?" He used his fingers to move the quartz a little closer to the stall owner, so that the light could better reflect the turbidity inside the quartz.
"It's translucent, white crystal." The stall owner replied. He was a little flustered. This was reflected in his dissipated spirituality and was immediately sensed by Delta.
he thought happily.
His face was stern. Although his face was hidden behind the mask and could not be seen by others, he still felt that it could boost his aura.
"This is actually quartz, which is worthless."
As he spoke, the two mercenaries stepped forward very cooperatively, bringing greater deterrence.
The stall owner's lips trembled, but his face turned red. He took a long time to defend himself: "That's not the case. It is indeed crystal. Although the color is not good, it is as big as a thumb. It will definitely be embedded in a bracelet."
Delta didn't listen to him at all. Instead, he focused on sensing the stall owner's emotional fluctuations. The results he got made him start to doubt his own abilities.
It was a mixture of anger and grievance, as well as the fear of being discovered without any tricks.
In front of him was the face of the stall owner who was anxiously defending himself and his lips that kept moving. He was a little confused and felt absurd.
This man actually firmly believed that it was a crystal!
If you are ignorant and upright, you will probably not be able to deceive others, or you may have been deceived by others and sell fake products without knowing it clearly.
He was no longer interested in looking at the other goods on the stall, and he finally persuaded the stall owner: "If you say it's crystal, then it's crystal, but you'd better not place your hopes of making a fortune on this stone."
, that’s just a waste of time.”
After saying these words, he stood up and prepared to leave with the two guards in disappointment.
The idea of ​​punishing liars to improve the level of spiritual body fusion has been wasted. It is better to go back to Zhongcheng District for a walk. He has not seen the theaters and circuses in this world.
"Please wait!"
The stall owner's voice came from behind.
Delta turned around. A silver-white mask without any facial features covered his face. In addition, the hood of the cloak dropped a shadow, covering the upper part, which made it look very strange.
The stall owner stuttered a little, not sure if calling him back was the right choice.
"My lord, are you a mage?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Delta tried his best to look cold to prevent the other party from making any unreasonable demands because he heard that he was young.
"This book may be helpful to you." The stall owner stood up, held the black-covered book on the animal skin, and pointed it at Delta carefully.
"This is a magic book, which may contain some powerful magic."
This is quite a temptation. Delta already has the meditation method. If he learns one or two magic spells from the magic book, he will be no different from an ordinary mage. Now, other apprentices in the same class of the academy can't do anything.
If this continues, the gap between them will continue to widen after school starts.
Elf hybrids will definitely receive higher attention from the academy.
He approached with excitement and said in a rather casual tone without showing off, "Show me."
He motioned to the stall owner to sit down, put the book back on the animal hide, and prepared to turn two pages to understand the content.
Unexpectedly, he saw a faint trace of gold on the black cover, which seemed to be a emblem, but a lot of the paint peeled off and he couldn't tell what it was.
Facing the sun, Delta managed to reconstruct the shape of the emblem based on the indentation.
The pattern has a cross star on top and a simplified eye without eyelashes below.
He recognized the meaning of the emblem at a glance.
Opening a few more pages, the content inside was garbled elven text. He was familiar with this method from the secret literature department. This was usually a password lock used by mages to hide content. The content worthy of such treatment was probably some special research.
The result or secret message may be something you can try to decipher.
He shook the notebook and asked, "Where did this notebook come from?"
The stall owner looked at the notebook in his hand. He didn't know what he thought of for a while. He was a little dazed, but he quickly came back to his senses and replied: "This is left by one of my ancestors. He was a
Magician."
He was sad in his heart.
Delta was not surprised. After all, Danches was right next to the academy. Occasionally, other mages would come to visit and settle down. This was not surprising.
"Then do you know what's written in it?" Delta continued to ask him.
"I don't know, I can't read."
It's easy to deal with being illiterate. Delta said seriously: "The content inside has been encrypted. I bought this book, but I still can't directly understand the content inside. I have to pay someone to decipher it. In the end, I got
The result may not be what I want, and I cannot give you an excessive reward for such a transaction."
"Then how much can you give?"
"Three crowns."
"Okay." The stall owner's hands were shaking when he took the money. The last item that witnessed his family's history was sold like this. Fortunately, there were other items sold by his father and grandfather in front of him, which also made him stand out.
Not too bad.
"It's only three crowns! In fact, you are the profiteer!" Hastur shouted.
"Why should the poor bother the poor?" Delta was also a little embarrassed. "This is the last bit of money I have. I have given everything I can, so what else is there to say."
In reality, he took two guards with him and planned to return to the Dark Horse Chamber of Commerce branch villa to try to decipher this "magic book" by himself. If it didn't work, he would wait until he returned to the academy to ask other members of the Pepper Club for help, even if it was to share the content.
Chapter completed!
