Chapter 77: Weighing the weight and selling things
From the moment she saw the ring of the patriarch, Courtaulin could not take her eyes away. She did not expect that the Marquis of Mesaroche would die in such a place; she did not expect that the ring that represented the power of the elders was there.
Within reach.
The outstretched hand was trembling slightly. Kao Taolin tried her best to suppress her excited emotions, and then she grasped the ring of the patriarch and picked it up when everything felt so unreal.
Looking at the Patriarch's Ring lying quietly in the palm of her hand, Kao Taolin felt the mysterious power running in the ring, accompanied by the call from the abyss. For the dark race, it was like a delicious delicacy.
It makes people unable to extricate themselves.
It is said that the Ring of the Patriarch came from a certain dark god who was still walking in the world and was a personal belonging before the divine fire was ignited. It is a veritable artifact. After the divine fire was ignited, the ring was left to the servant at that time. In this way
After picking up the ring, Kao Taolin believed the rumors.
But what makes it more valuable lies in the power of the clan patriarch and elders. Although it may not be able to command other subordinates in the clan without the shock of the ancient identity, the ring can open the treasure trove.
Goods are the real source of clan cohesion. Perhaps not having the status of an ancient one will make the elders' power slightly weaker, but they are still better than most vampires, and can even get rid of the restrictions of the first supporters.
With all these advantages, Courtaulin wanted to hold this ring, go away to another place, develop her own power and then come back to attend the elders. In the end, her love for Dorothy suppressed the unnecessary ambition. The Ring of the Patriarch,
Only in the hands of the one she loves and her father can she be more effective. After all, she is a warrior, a sword and a shield.
After clarifying her thoughts, Kao Taolin asked calmly: "Sir, may I please take this ring as evidence and bring it back to my master."
Lin said without hesitation: "Of course not."
"What, but you just..."
"I didn't promise anything just now, I just let you look for it. Anyway, this is my trophy, how can I let it be taken away for nothing. Or, I want to say 'the blood clan will come to retaliate against me', or 'will
Someone is coming to snatch this ring or something like that, so I should give up on my own initiative."
Suppressing the displeasure and resentment that surged into her throat, Kao Taolin tried her best to keep her voice calm and said, "Then I don't know what price you will pay before you are willing to trade this ring."
At what cost? Lin was stunned by this question.
Since the other party risked his life to come to the door just to find this ring, it must be a good thing. The question is how good is it? Is it useful to you? Especially the latter.
If items are blessed or cursed through a certain ritual, they all have one thing in common, that is, there is a boss behind them. Praying to gods, making deals with demons, or using an undead soul to curse, these actions mean
The holder cannot avoid dealing with these beings. If it is in line with the boss's wishes, then blessings will be great; if it does not get along with the boss, then good things will turn into bad things.
To use the terminology that Ju Lin used when he was playing online games on Earth, these things are bound to race, occupation and belief. And the more powerful the item, the heavier the restrictions. So, rather than whether this thing is good or not, whether you can use it is more important.
If you fall out with the other party and insist on keeping this ring but you can only look at it and not use it, then you might as well exchange it for some useful benefits. But at what price?
Thinking of this, Lin felt helpless again.
Thinking about other time-travelers, all they do is make money, make money, make money, make steel, build ships, and prepare gunpowder. They can conquer large tracts of land by traveling through time with their bare hands, and integrate the essence of the harem stallion into their daily lives. How will it be your turn?
After making a little more money, I feel dazzled in the eyes of those big bosses, and there are countless crooked melons and jujubes staring at me.
If you make a lot of money from these things and your reputation spreads, you will have a headache for who knows how long. Even if you don't sell these things, just leave them lying around. The principle of "having a treasure makes it a crime" has been said by thousands of ancestors.
It was said years ago, how could I not understand it.
With a long sigh, Lin looked at the frightened female vampire and said, "How many kir (gold coins) are there on you?"
Kao Taolin, who originally thought that the matter was going to fall through because of her sigh, took out the purse in her arms in confusion and said, "That's all."
"Okay, put down the money and take the things with you."
Kao Taolin, who had always remained calm, could no longer control her expression. She seemed relieved, then straightened her face, handed over the purse in her hand, and said, "Then it's a deal, Your Excellency."
Lin was a little disinterested, and shook his hand without taking the money bag, saying: "Put it on the shelf next to it."
"Your Excellency, what about the other things?" Kao Taolin seemed to be pursuing a victory and asked about the disposal of the other treasures. They must take back as much as possible before the tower owner understands the value of these items.
"Just negotiate with my apprentice then. There are so many things, if you plan to take them all away, you can't move them back alone in broad daylight."
"Then what's the transaction price?"
"Sell by weight, i Carlo (kilogram) i Kiln (gold). That's it." After saying that, Lin took off the control helmet and crawled back to his bed to catch up on his sleep. But the clone on the first floor,
It follows the established pattern towards the stairwell and gradually fades away.
Kao Taolin was left standing alone in the weapon room, feeling confused. Did the tower master really not know the value of these things? Or did he do it deliberately, just to humiliate others and laugh at the vampires? Or...or he really didn't
Care? That’s why I called out such a casual price.
She didn't want to violate the deal of the patriarch's ring, she didn't take back the money bag she put down, she didn't pick up a few more items from the pile of items and take them away. It's not like she hadn't thought about it, maybe the tower master would overthrow it next time she came back.
Today's statement raises the price of these things to an unacceptable level. But what can it do? The two parties are not on an equal footing in negotiations.
As soon as I walked out of the door of the weapon room, I saw two girls whizzing past. They grabbed the big dog sitting at the door by its neck hair, turned over and got on the dog's back. Then the two of them and the two dogs rushed in.
In the forest, no one cares about the guests still staying in the tower.
... Kaotaolin continued to be messy. The tower owner returned to the third floor, the two apprentices left, and the two tamed monsters also left. The first floor was empty, leaving only herself. But to be honest, she still
I really don't dare to think of overstepping the rules. It's really easy to kill vampires in this tower.
She hid the Patriarch's ring close to her body. Kao Taolin did not dare to wear the ring on her hand, for fear of falling into the sweet temptation and losing her mind. She put her hood back on and left in a hurry
Tower of the Great Sage. You must report what you see and hear to your master as soon as possible. This tower is not just cruel, but so cruel that it is lawless.
After that, Courtaulin did not visit again, and no one cared about the pile of trophies. The Tower of the Great Sage ushered in a rare peace, and the residents of the town outside the tower also seemed to be peaceful, no longer like the royal family of the Frank Kingdom.
There was an undercurrent surging when the army and the group of people were there, and everyone was frightened.
The three masters and disciples who originally thought they would usher in a moment of peace, but because of a temporary decision, they temporarily put aside the unimportant matters at hand and devoted themselves to busy preparations. Of course, it is not accurate to say that this decision was made temporarily.
Because that's what you have to do sooner or later.
It has been two and a half years since I turned in the magic related to the browser and other three systems. One of the conditions for a magician to receive subsidies from the association is to turn in at least one new magic every three years to show off.
I am continuing to research and improve. Calculating the time, the deadline is coming soon.
Secondly, it took more than two years for the two girls to pass the first-level apprenticeship assessment. The formal second-level assessment period is also three years. But before, the reason why they had to meet the deadline was to take the first-level assessment.
It was because there was no good cultivation at that time.
Although the Tower of the Great Sage was disliked by everyone at the beginning, it is a magic tower after all. Any magician who wants to enter is not allowed to enter. Instead, he has to spend a sum of money to exchange for the qualification to enter the association. With
Buying a house has the same meaning, but you only get the right to live in it, not ownership. It cannot be traded between private parties, and of course it cannot be inherited by future generations.
At that time, in order to save the fees for the qualification to stay in the tower, Lin almost took two apprentices and took risks outside to make money, and he also lived frugally. It is conceivable that not many resources would be invested in training two apprentices.
.
Knowledge is imparted next to a campfire, or in a drafty room of a dilapidated hotel in the countryside; practice is entirely done in actual combat. Facing goblins wielding sticks, if magic is ineffective, the result is a life-threatening situation.
But the environment of that period was far from comparable to the current life in the Tower of the Great Sage. Now that he had a lot of money, Lin did not continue to save on meditation resources to accumulate mana and power. Instead, he used good things as much as possible. Not only did he meditate in the third room
The room is built, and the open-air hot spring pool also has the effect of amplifying the meditation effect.
With the assistance of such sufficient resources, no matter how bad the talents of the two girls are, there is still gratifying progress in the accumulation of magic power. As early as more than half a year ago, as long as they did not choose a second-ring magic that was too tricky, they would cast ten consecutive spells.
not a problem.
In terms of proficiency training, although it is no longer an exercise in actual combat and lacks the excitement of life and death. But after Lin completed the digital detection of mana power, of course he also conducted a series of scientific tests on the two girls.
Transformed magic training... Why does it feel so awkward?
In short, it is to use quantitative monitoring to carry out targeted training on deficiencies. It can also give clear feedback on control. For example, when using the second-level icicle technique, how much power is used. The minimum is enough.
To ensure the operation of magic, how much of it is actually used is too much investment and wasted.
Being able to make a scientific training plan is due to the fact that when Lin was on Earth, he once studied relevant knowledge for a while in order to lose his belly, and then made a plan for himself. Facts have proved that careful plans and people's will
Strength doesn't matter...
What I learned at that time was used on the two girls, and the effect was unexpectedly good. Perhaps the girls also understood that their magic talents were really average, so they worked extra hard. The most fearful thing about hard work is that they have no direction, resulting in half the effort with twice the effort.
Lin's research results just make up for this, letting them know what direction they want to work towards.
