Fisher is now taking Jasmine to the largest magic materials market in the entire Saint-Nali. There are many magic materials sold by famous magic companies, such as the magic companies under the Nali Development Company. Of course, there are also many retail investors who are self-operated.
Since the financial backer behind Sanary University is the Nali Development Company, the school recommended Fisher to go to the Magic Store of the Development Company to buy magic items. However, Fisher felt that the quality of the magic materials there was relatively poor, and he had better options.
.
"Ask a question, since magic emblems can stir up repercussions in the world as long as they are engraved with magic power, why do magicians still need to purchase magic materials to assist in magic engraving?"
While leading Jasmine to the center of the market, Fisher suddenly asked this question.
"Well...there are two reasons. The first is because some magics cannot rely on magic power and emblems to trigger the reverberation. At this time, magic materials are needed to deepen the connection between emblems and the world; secondly, because most
The magic activated by heraldry and magic power cannot be preserved for a long time, and the effect cannot be long-lasting, so magic materials are needed to maintain the effectiveness and duration of the magic..."
Jasmine frantically recalled the memories in the book in her mind. These were all the contents she had read in the book before, so she recited them all. After speaking, she looked at Fisher nervously and said,
A nervous look.
Before landing, the tribesmen at the bottom of the sea basically did not use magic. This was her first time to systematically learn magic, because her mother said that "human beings are a race that is very good at using magic", and now it seems that it is indeed true, so she
With an open-minded attitude towards learning, he entered Saint-Nali University to study human magic, and at the same time, he could provide a reasonable identity for his mission.
Fisher nodded after hearing this and added,
"You are right. In very distant ancient times, demi-humans and humans would use magic materials to make a variety of items with magical effects. They are called [relics]. But the craftsmanship has been lost.
, scholars can only infer their production methods based on the surviving relics."
After hearing this, Jasmine found out that she knew this knowledge because her aunt [Muxi] knew how to make relics!
When she was a child, she made many such things as gifts for herself, but before she was one year old, her aunt left the trench and went to the surface of the sea, and occasionally she would send some things over.
I heard from my aunt that all the techniques for making relics in the world come from a race far away from the ocean. Only Aunt Muxi likes to explore the world, so she learned this making technique.
Just as Jasmine was about to share it, she suddenly remembered that she was now a well-behaved human student. What if Professor Fisher asked her how she knew after telling her?
She didn't speak, but the unspoken words in her heart were as itchy as being scratched by a cat's paw.
Fisher didn't notice her little movements and kept leading her through the streets. Beside the streets, there were not only vendors selling various wild magic items, but also food and small animals.
Forgot to mention, the full name of the magic market here is "Sainali Curiosities Market". It also sells plants, pets and other products, but magic items are the main products, and most people come here for them.
"Excellent adult dragon blood and dragon scales! Gentlemen, don't miss this!"
"The Tomb Lily of the Valley in the underground mine can lift red leaves and magic crystal ore, and sell them in packages! We also provide delivery services for large quantities!"
"Shvali's pet cat is cute and can be held and petted. It is the best choice for a home pet!"
Jasmine looked at the kitten licking its fur on the side of the road, looking at the long and soft hair on its body, and for a moment she wanted to reach out and touch it to try out how it felt.
Fisher deliberately slowed down his pace to let her look at everything around her.
Occasionally, demi-human slaves are sold here. It didn't take long for Jasmine to see that there were several male ox-humans and canine-humans locked in cages on the roadside.
This was the first time that Jasmine walked out of the teaching building and saw so many things that she could not see normally. After seeing the chains tied to the bodies of those demihumans, she pursed her lips and followed Fei closely with some fear.
Sher, until they stopped in front of a very small shop on the corner of the street.
The shop was squeezed between two walls, and the entrance was less than half of the other shops. There was a crooked signboard on the door called "Gina Wholesale Store". Just as the name said,
This shop mainly deals in the wholesale of ordinary magic materials. It occasionally sells some high-end materials, but they are rarely seen.
The materials used in the magic class can be purchased here, and Fisher happened to have a relationship with the owner of this store before, so he came here to take care of her business this time.
"We arrived... The quality of the store recommended by the school was not very good, so I found a store I had often cooperated with before and entered..."
"That's enough! If you don't give it, I won't give it!"
Before Fisher could finish his introduction, the small door in front of him was suddenly opened, revealing a young girl with short hair and quite revealing clothes. The girl had an angry face and looked at Fisher outside.
Scheer was stunned for a moment, his angry expression calmed down a little, and he said hello.
"Fisher..."
Fisher looked at the girl in front of him, nodded and then watched her leave him and enter the noisy street behind, and soon disappeared.
"If you want to get out, get out now. If you don't come back, you'll never come back... Oh, Fisher, it's you. I thought Meg hadn't left yet..."
A carefree middle-aged woman walked out of the shop, wearing a large blue apron used by fishermen to peel fish scales. She had a pair of gloves on each side and was carrying two strange fish with slender colorful feathers.
Rooster, with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.
She was holding a cigarette in her mouth, her fierce look changed a bit after seeing Fisher, and she said hello with a vague accent.
This is Gina, the owner of this store. The young girl who ran out just now is her daughter Meg, who is not yet an adult, so she looks about seventeen or eighteen years old.
"What's going on here?"
Fisher was obviously asking about Meg, who ran out before. Her face didn't look good.
"What else could it be... A rebellious daughter doesn't go to school and hangs out with brats every day. When she runs out of money, she comes back to her innocent mother to ask for money. After being rejected, she storms out of the door in anger.
It’s a story. That guy always thought there was no future in hanging out with those gang members, and those bastards would do nothing but cheat her out of her body later!”
When she talked about her daughter, she felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel. She threw the two innocent roosters to the ground and locked them in a cage at the door, as if she was using the roosters to vent her anger.
Fisher glanced at the street behind and did not interfere with Gina's housework. Although she still remembered that Meg was quite well-behaved when she was a child, it would not necessarily be the case when she grew up. Who knows what her state of mind would be like when he did not come over.
and experience changes.
Gina held a cigarette in her mouth and ignored the family topic that gave her a headache. She turned to look at Jasmine who was as obedient as a small animal behind Fisher, pointed at her with her head, and asked,
"By the way, why do you have the time to come to my place? I heard that you went to the Southern Continent before? Who is this?"
"For a little research project, I'm back now... I'm teaching magic at the University of Saint-Nali. This is my student. This time I came mainly to buy some magic materials to be used in the class. I probably used a little red.
Stone powder and light-tasseled insects, etc. If there are others, I'll take a look."
"Sainali University, that's a good school." Gina finished smoking and threw the cigarette butt on the street in front of the store. She looked at Jasmine and sighed,
"If Meg could be half as well-behaved as you, I'd be grateful to the Mother Goddess. I've donated so much to the church over the years, and this is how she repays me. It's boring... Okay, come in, I just have some extra things to do.
goods."
Fisher walked into this small shop. It couldn't be seen from the outside, but the space inside was actually quite spacious. However, because Gina had piled too many magic materials into a small room, there was no isolation.
measures, resulting in a somewhat unpleasant smell inside.
After all, the magic materials include not only the herbs growing in the mountains and valleys, but also the dried excrement left by the giant beasts.
There is a kind of pink deer in the wild in Nali called "Sikorima". This kind of creature only produces feces once a year and cannot be domesticated. If it is caught, it will soon die of depression, but its feces
It is a very precious medicinal material and magic item, and many advanced healing magics require it as a raw material.
By the way, the main ring magic material of the thirteen-ring magic [Resurrection] that Hailsen carved before was the feces of Sikorima.
Then there are a lot of [Material Hunters] following the Sikorima's butt every year. Every time it sticks out its butt, they wait eagerly, hoping that they will leave precious magic materials. Unfortunately, most of what they wait for is gas.
.
Jasmine curiously looked at the countless magic materials around her. She had never seen these things in the sea... although she had seen many weirder materials.
Fisher packed a lot of materials that would be used in class later. Just as he was about to explain the uses of these materials to Jasmine, he saw Gina pushing a very strange-looking conch in front of Fisher.
"What's this?"
Gina sighed and said,
"The way Meg asked for money, she said it was a magic material from the bottom of the sea. She picked it up next to the Coco River in Saint-Nali. I'm not sure, but it's true that this shell looks quite strange. I
Never seen it before."
Fisher focused his attention on the conch, and saw that the conch showed an extremely tricky spiral pattern. The entire conch was dark black, looked very hard, but shone with a strange fluorescence.
"This is a black snail with a drill bit. It's not a magic material, but it looks very good. If you blow air into it, dense bubbles will come out..."
Jasmine, who didn't know when she came to Fisher's side, suddenly spoke. She easily recognized what was in front of her. After Gina and Fisher looked at her, she blushed again and explained,
"I...my hometown is on the seaside, so...so I know this thing."
In fact, this kind of thing only exists in the deep sea. The reason why the shell of this kind of conch is very hard is to resist the water pressure on the seabed, but it seems that Professor Fisher and others don't know.
Jasmine blamed her mouth for being unable to hide secrets and always revealing many things that should not be said.
"Haha, I don't think this thing is like a magic material. That guy really thought of all kinds of ways to defraud me of my money. Damn it!"
This sentence was obviously approved by Gina, who looked at the conch fiercely, as if she were looking at Meg.
Immediately afterwards, she began to curse her unfulfilled daughter, which made Fisher laugh bitterly.
But Jasmine was thinking at this moment that this conch came from the deep sea. Why did the human girl say that she picked it up in the river in Nali?
