The blood is still warm - the demon's rift expulsion battle Chapter 3 prices are soaring
Then the three of them saw the technology of ancient spell inscriptions, including ancient magic inscription cards made of rare metals, monster skins, blood and other materials - unlike spell scrolls that are destroyed immediately after one use, inscription cards can be used several times.
But this technology is not just that. If this technology is applied to equipment, it can provide powerful magic effects several times. If the spell is triggered repeatedly in this way, the equipment will eventually break, which is much faster than ordinary magic equipment.
Much more.
Alexander doesn't like this latter technology, and the overpriced consumables are really a pain in the ass.
"Well, Sophia, do you have anything you want to buy?" Alexander didn't think that the inscription card, a magic prop that uses metal as a carrier, had much to do with the previous transparent card. It might just be a coincidence.
"Well...I'm more interested in technology and knowledge." Sophia suppressed her excessive curiosity.
"Well, I don't really want to buy this kind of thing." Having said that, it only costs five ounces anyway. Alexander still spent money to buy an inscription card that recorded that the fireball spell can be used twice to see, at least it is a range spell.
.Sofia has not yet learned the powerful energy-shaping spell Fireball. What if it is useful in a team that lacks range attack capabilities?
"If you are considering buying something else, then I suggest you buy more defensive ones." The clerk said when he saw Alexander bought an inscription card.
After hearing this, Alexander looked at the card and stuffed it into Fageni's belt. "Well... let's take a look at it then."
"Is it defensive? Are there any that are cost-effective?" Sofia asked aloud. As a spellcaster in the team, she needs to consider defense the most - whether it is herself or her teammates.
Fageni picked up the card on his belt and looked at it, then put it back and asked the shop owner for detailed usage.
"I don't understand very well, but I heard that the iron wall is very powerful." Bruno said, and at this time the card seller explained: "After the iron wall is set up, you need to stay within the effective area of the iron wall to be protected, but the iron wall
The wall can provide a very strong defense for a short period of time, and then the iron wall will disappear."
"Will it block the line of sight after using it?" Sophia got the boss's answer with the word "no", which felt like a range-based shielding technique.
"The meaning of this card is that if I use this card, it will create a cover to cover us. So how big can the cover be, and can it prevent a powerful large-scale attack?" Fageni wanted to know this range.
How big is it.
"A fireball fired by a C-level magician can be completely blocked, and the range is thirty feet." Although the division of strength in the Canado area is different from that here, judging from the fact that Sofia has not learned this spell, it is still very difficult.
It is necessary to buy one.
"So how much does it cost?" Fageni thought that his dodge ability was good, and the magic equipment on his body also provided good defensive performance. But Alexander had a lot of money, so naturally he would not have too many means.
"The worst is Lindsay."
Fageni nodded and never mentioned the purchase again. He didn't have so much money.
"Let's get one. Is there any spell that can help us track wild beasts?" Considering that we have to deal with the spellcaster later, it's better to be prepared.
"There is no prophecy system. I only have energy evocation and protection systems here." The boss replied immediately.
"Alas..." Alexander paid for it and bought it. "What about the single-body reactive defense magic?"
"Do you have a service to help make cards? If we provide the materials." Sophia actually wanted to steal... No, she wanted to learn from it.
"When we make cards, we will regularly submit material requests to the mercenary industry. In addition, this is a revival of a lost ancient technology. Although the shield spell is of a lower level, there are not many spell options that we can engrave."
"What if the iron wall set up in advance is hit by a stone? Will it be triggered?" Although Fageni is a little annoyed, this question is necessary to ask.
The boss thought for a moment and replied: "If that stone can make your skin red, it will trigger it."
"Well, I understand." Alexander looked at it casually and asked the clerk to continue leading the way.
In the other shops that followed, there were no more novel things, but the three of them also heard a rumor. There is a very powerful craftsman here who masters a technology called "inheritance", which can transfer part of the equipment's capabilities to another.
piece of equipment. But now the craftsman has returned to his hometown in the Kingdom of Nevis to visit relatives and is not here.
"The Kingdom of Nevis? If you have a chance, you can go and see it." Alexander quite liked the forehead protector made for him by the technicians of the pioneering team in the rainforest, but this forehead protector could no longer keep up with the times and had to be replaced.
"Well, if the time and route are right." Sofia was also very interested in traveling, while Fageni followed silently without commenting on it.
Then the three of them left this noisy alley. Bruno then led the way to a few streets outside the main thoroughfare, and finally stopped at the entrance of the Alchemist's Industrial Co., Ltd. "This place mainly sells potions and various strange props. It is said that all
It’s very useful. It’s safest to prepare some high-quality potions for adventurous activities.” This is a pertinent suggestion. Since ancient times, I don’t know how many adventurers have survived in battles but died due to worsening injuries. The same must be true for mercenaries.
"Ah, medicine? That's true." Alexander walked in to take a look, and it didn't cost any money.
Fageni looked at the signboard of the Alchemist's Industrial Co., nodded and said: "The things here must be better than those in Lamisa." Then he followed Sophia in.
The lobby of the Alchemist Industrial Co., Ltd. is very large, and the rooms behind the lobby are divided into upper and lower floors.
Because the lobby is very large, it is even more deserted. There are only two counter ladies waiting idlely, and a woman who looks like a high elf is walking out with an unhappy look on her face, passing by the three clerks who entered the door.
Pass.
She has long silver-white shawl hair and a soft appearance. Although she has the iconic pointed ears of an elf, they are not as long as the blond elf bard in La Mesa. She wears aqua blue leather outfit and has a
A small bag containing various materials and potion bottles.
It is said that high elves are very rare, but why did Alexander see wood elves less often than high elves? She got out of the way, and then went to the counter to see what medicines were available. Fageni followed closely and carefully
Looking at the price list, he was looking for how much the bottles of potions he bought in Lamesa would cost here.
There are many potions that the three of them know about but have never seen before, and the potions that the three of them have seen in Lamesa are double or triple the price here. And among these potions, there is actually a holy healing potion, and that
A bottle of Holy Healing Potion is actually priced at 475 Lindsays per bottle. This is still a discount price. The original price is 500 Lindsays.
Alexander immediately thought that the label on the cork of the medicine bottle in his space ring was also called Holy Healing Medicine, oh my god.
[It’s much more expensive than Lamesa’s place...] Sophia was dumbfounded. She didn’t understand why potions were so expensive in Guzhuo Town. Logically speaking, there were more materials here, and the consumption should be the same as the production amount. Could it be someone
A commercial method? Sophia shook her head silently and continued to see if there were any potions here at a price that a group of people could afford.
[What a trap.] Fageni decided it would be better to spend less money here.
Alexander curled his lips and narrowed his eyes, looked at the deserted hall, and firmly believed that this place was just a rip-off. She turned and left, then patted Bruno on the shoulder. Bruno went out with her knowingly and then heard her
He said in a low voice: "Aren't you honest? It's obvious that this place is for robbing people. Why did you bring us here?"
"As you all may not know, the potion from Alchemist Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is twice as effective as ordinary potions outside. A bottle of healing potion that can exert double the effect is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Such a potion can be used in a fierce battle.
It can produce more than double the effect, you should be very clear."
"Twice? Twice is not worth so much. Five hundred linseys for a bottle of medicine? How funny?" Alexander said dissatisfied.
"Madam, the market price of the Holy Healing Potion is 240 Lindsays, and there is a price but no market." One of the counter ladies heard Alexander's voice outside the door and said.
"Yes, yes." Alexander shook his head. "The double effect is not all a benefit, and it might be wasted. Besides, is it really like what you said, will this place be so empty?"
"Today is not a restocking day either. We usually sell a few boxes of goods."
Alexander narrowed her eyes and stared at the counter lady. Based on her expression, she finally confirmed that the counter lady was not lying. But of course she was not referring to expensive potions, and even if there were so many, this kind of potion would not be sold like this. This is
Stifling behavior, because things are rare and valuable.
"How many boxes are sold? You mean how many boxes of all the potions are sold in a day when the business here is the best." Alexander shook his head again. "Forget it, come back when you need it later. This price is reasonable for a regular medicine.
expensive."
"Well, this..." She seemed to be hiding something, but another counter lady excitedly said it out: "You can already make an astonishing profit by selling a few boxes of the most common medicine."
Fageni gave up the idea of buying some medicine and asked: "By the way, do you remember the elf who passed us just now?" According to Fageni's knowledge, elves are generally well-known and popular.
.
Because Fageni didn't make any extreme remarks, even if he was the counter girl who was with Alexander, she didn't express her anger at him. "The elf lady just now seems to be named Hitz. She is very special among alchemists, and we are not too
Understood." But it was just a brief introduction and did not reveal any useful information.
"Special?" Sophia's attention shifted back from the expensive price list.
"Huh? Special? What special method?" Alexander was a little interested.
"She likes alchemy very much, but maybe she has no talent. Her spell-casting skills are improving day by day, but the level of alchemy has hardly improved. So she spent a lot of materials but didn't make much money. As a result, she had to issue cheap commissions herself, and then
Work with other adventurers or mercenaries to obtain the necessary precious materials."
"Oh, doesn't that mean that...you have no talent? This kind of thing is very common, right?" Alexander was very direct, but it didn't matter if he wasn't there.
"This must be because the talent is used in the wrong place." Sophia also dabbled in alchemy in her studies, so she knew how difficult it is to master alchemy.
"But even so, I didn't give up, and alchemy is originally a boring and difficult skill." It seemed that the lady at the counter still admired the elf named Heath.
"That's true, but after immersing yourself in it, there is a lot of fun in learning." Since she is self-taught in alchemy, Sophia feels the same way.
"Well..." Alexander didn't say anything more.
"There are many alchemy formulas here. If you join ICBC, you can buy them." The lady at the counter heard that Sophia had also learned alchemy and said, she has very strong business skills.
"Hmm?" Sofia was somewhat interested. "What are the conditions? Price?"
"The price of the formula is unified to twenty times the price of the medicine, and a contract is signed that you cannot teach it to others, and you cannot make poisons. To join ICBC, you only need to pay an annual membership fee of one linsey."
"Hmm..." Sophia hesitated.
"Then will you also accept the production commission?" Sophia thought of the formula of the dragon power potion and the main material dragon crystal held by Alexander.
The lady at the counter shook her head and said: "Accepting a commission is the personal behavior of the alchemist, and ICBC is not responsible for this."
"Oh, okay." Sophia was a little disappointed.
"You can put your request here, but we don't guarantee that an alchemist will accept it." The lady at the counter added.
"Yeah, I understand." Sophia nodded and looked at her companion.
Alexander looked at Sophia. She knew what the girl meant, but her first impression of the Alchemist's Industry was really not very good.
Fagni looked back, wondering what she meant by looking at him, and waited for her to speak.
"Shall we go somewhere else?" Sofia asked.
"Let's go, I don't plan to buy it." Alexander turned and left.
Fagni followed out and asked Bruno: "Where else are you taking us?"
"There is another blacksmith's office, do you want to go?" It seems that the clerk is a little concerned about the small conflict between Alexander and the alchemist's office. This is a dereliction of duty on his part. But after all, he is not a guide.
Sophia said "Yeah", and Alexander replied: "It doesn't matter, let's go."
Bruno took the three of them to the Blacksmith Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The building on the ground floor here is responsible for customization, and the forging room is set up on the underground floor. Although it is said to be forging, it is not necessarily metal forging. The blacksmith here has also mastered
Using the technology of World of Warcraft bones. The weight of bones is much lighter than metal, but the defense is not necessarily inferior, so it is often used to make lightweight armor.
With the lessons learned from the Alchemist's Industry, Fageni had reason to believe that the Blacksmiths' Guild was not a good guy either, and the things it sold must be very expensive. The principle that you get what you pay for doesn't apply in every place.
Alexander approached one of the counters to see what services and goods were available here, while Sofia first looked to see if there was a price list.
For example, an armor made of magic pig ribs displayed on the wall costs twenty linseys... [Twenty linseys to buy such a piece of garbage?] Alexander began to doubt life a little.
Sofia, who had never bought any of these magical equipment, was not sure how cost-effective it was, but after looking at the reactions of her companions, she had a guess. She continued to look at the arm blades made from the bones of the ghost-backed ape, which cost four times.
Fifteen Lindsay a pair. The robe made from the skin of the phantom lizard is also the same price.
Sofia saw this ugly gray robe on the shelf and couldn't help but reject it. The girl had no choice but to continue looking aside and wait for her companion to finish reading.
Fagni went to the person at the counter and asked about the general process of customizing armor. He also took a look at what knives were on sale.
Alexander went to look at things like arrows and enchantments. As an archer, she was completely confused when she saw that an alchemical explosion arrow cost six syringes. She sighed and left the counter, "It's so expensive..."
The three people then walked around and looked at the exhibits in other places, but there was nothing they wanted to buy.
Alexander came out and said to Bruno: "It's true that the things you want to buy are good, but you can't afford the ones you want to buy, and you don't really want to buy the ones you can afford."
"The things here are indeed quite expensive." Sophia didn't want to buy anything. After all, there were very few equipments suitable for spellcasters.
Alexander touched his chin. "Sure enough, the money we have is not enough for our current strength. But for adventurers who spend all the money immediately after getting it, they don't seem to have the qualifications to say this."
Fagni looked back and asked Bruno again if there was anywhere else he could take them to. He really wanted to buy something from this place, but he had no money.
Bruno shook his head. "If it's a pub or a casino, please go and see for yourself."
"Well, don't be discouraged." Alexander patted Bruno on the shoulder. "By the way, where will we live?"
"Then we can go shopping by ourselves later, um... Now let's take a rest so we can put down our things." Sofia also chimed in.
"Go to the lobby of the Mercenary Industry Company later to see how the commissions there are. Thank you for leading the way Bruno." Fageni is also a person who understands affairs.
"Everyone, please come with me." Although Bruno didn't lead the three of them to find many useful things before, this time it was the best hotel in Guzhuo Town.
"Oh, this place looks pretty good." Just looking at the appearance, this two-story building is no worse than the one she lived in in the imperial capital. Alexander walked inside and thought [I hope we don't have to do it ourselves]
Pay...]
Sofia looked around and followed her. She hadn't stayed in a hotel yet. Fagni looked around, then at Bruno and asked: "How much is the rent here...?"
Bruno informed that Countercurrent Trading Company had paid for the three of them. The housing fee here was 120 paise a day, and basically only big businessmen and famous adventurers lived there.
"Why do you give me money directly in such a luxurious place every time..." Fageni coughed twice and said no more.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Alexander shook his head: "To be honest, I would rather this money be allocated directly to our funds. Oh, that's okay." Alexander's statement was much more reasonable.
"It feels a bit luxurious..." Sofia couldn't even think about it.
"It's like this. Countercurrent Trading Company has cooperation with hotels all over the country, including some free places and discounts. Well... if you have anything else, just go to the trading company to find me or other clerks." Then, Bruno resigned.
"Okay, thank you." Sofia said goodbye to Bruno.
"Thank you." Alexander followed the etiquette here and said goodbye, and went to the waiter in the hotel lobby to check where the room was.
After the three people inquired, they returned to their own room. It was fully equipped, luxuriously decorated, and reasonably arranged. All in all, it was great. It was much better than sleeping on a carriage, and the bed here even had a goose down quilt.
