The room was very quiet, even the black cat on the top of the bookshelf had its eyes narrowed and its body curled up motionless.
The old magician unfolded the twenty-seven black-striped demon skins one by one. He looked at them very carefully. Every time he opened a demon skin, a hot fire seemed to be ignited in his eyes. He read these black-striped demon skins one after another.
After removing the skin, the old magician raised his head, looked at Suldak, hesitated for a moment and then said:
"We need to make some systematic pricing for these black-striped magic skins. I can't give a suitable price now. I can only say that they are very valuable, but the life magic patterns generated by these black-striped magic skins are
Black magic, these black-striped magic skins are banned on the market, so it is difficult to find the corresponding reference price in the magic market of the auction house, so our pricing will be conservative."
The old magician's straightforward words made Lance a little embarrassed at the side, and he glanced at Suldak slightly apologetically.
Subsequently, the old magician carried the pile of black-striped magic skins and walked to a row of shelves and put all the black-striped magic skins into a box.
Suldak actually felt a faint fluctuation of magic power on this box.
The old magician turned to Suldak and said: "These magic patterns of life are the exploration direction of many magic scholars in our magic union. Under the premise of the same level, the magic patterns of life are far more powerful than the magic pattern array created by magicians.
times, so the magic pattern of life has always been one of the main research directions of the Magic Guild. These black-striped magic skins have complete visible magic patterns of life, so they have huge research value, and each magic skin is very valuable."
Hearing what the old magician said, Suldak couldn't help but ask: "How much magic crystals are these worth?"
The old magician walked back to the square table, sat down again, looked at Suldak, and said: "I can only say a lot, and I personally don't recommend that you exchange all these black-striped magic skins for magic crystals. You can consider some
Something more valuable."
After finishing speaking, he took out the magic scrolls from the barrel, divided them into two parts and placed them on the desk. The old magician didn't even raise his eyes and said dullly:
"There are 18 of these second-level scrolls, each worth 1 gold coin. There are 7 third-level scrolls, each with 1 magic crystal. Oh my, according to the current exchange ratio of gold coins and magic crystals, these scrolls are worth 10 magic crystals in total.
, the lion's power potion and the weak troll potion are worth 5 magic crystals, these magic items are worth fifteen magic crystals in total..."
After saying that, he picked up a note from the desk, casually tore off a piece of paper, and wrote the words "pay 15 magic crystals" on it, stamped it with a seal, and handed the note to him casually.
He picked up Suldak and said to Lance: "Lance, take this knight to the finance department to receive the compensation magic crystal."
“Okay, Mr. Nimitz.” Lance said respectfully.
The two of them then left the appraisal room.
…
Suldak took fifteen magic crystals and left from the Magic Guild's finance room with Lance. Although he was a little worried that the twenty-seven black-striped magic skins would be swallowed up by the Magic Guild, he had reached this point.
I can only go back and wait for news.
Lance seemed to see the worries in Suldak's heart, and immediately assured him that once the appraisal room completed the pricing, the compensated magic crystals would be distributed immediately. Lance and Surdak came to the Magic Guild 2
Lou, said a brief 'goodbye' and then got busy doing experiments.
Suldak stood in the corridor and looked around the rooms. He did not leave the Magic Guild immediately, but walked along the large winding staircase to the entrance of Scholar Ferdinand's magic laboratory.
Knock on the door...
A young female assistant opened the door and looked at Suldak with a puzzled face, asking: "Who are you?"
Suldak said to the female magic assistant: "I am Suldak, and I am looking for Scholar Ferdinand."
“Have you made an appointment with the teacher in advance?” the young female assistant narrowed her eyes and asked Suldak.
Suldak touched his nose and said: "No... Scholar Ferdinand said I can come and visit him at any time."
“Wait a moment!” The female assistant turned around and returned.
Then the door of the laboratory was opened by the female assistant, with a friendly smile on her face, and said to Surdak: "Knight Surdak, please come in!"
Walking into Scholar Ferdinand's magic laboratory, the room was still the same as before. Bottles of light green solution were filled with the limbs of various monsters. The whole room was filled with a strange smell. Surdak looked at it carefully.
I glanced at the female assistant and saw her walking in front with a calm face, and I felt great admiration for her strength.
Scholar Ferdinand was wearing a magic robe and was standing on the test bench, using a sharp boning knife to dissect the body of a subhuman kobold. When Suldak walked over, Scholar Ferdinand was using his hands to remove the internal organs from the kobold's abdomen.
He put it into a glass jar, put a dirty dog head into a silver tray, rinsed the abdominal cavity full of blood clots with water, and then raised his head and smiled at Suldak.
He touched his leg and asked: "Knight Surdak, has your leg healed?"
Suldak walked to Wizard Ferdinand, looked at the hunched body of the kobold on the test bench, and said: "Scholar Ferdinand, my leg injury has completely recovered."
The female assistant stepped forward to clean the kobold heads on the silver tray, her movements were quite skillful.
Scholar Ferdinand smiled at Suldak: "I thought you would come to me later, but I didn't expect you to solve the problem yourself."
Surdak said honestly: "At that time, I had also put up a list of buying magic herbs at the trading house. I just waited for the magic herbs to come to see you. Unexpectedly, I experienced something else during that period. My leg was injured.
He was cured at that time."
He didn’t want to reveal Selena’s information, so he just spoke briefly.
Scholar Ferdinand was not very interested in the treatment process. He just smiled and asked him: "Are you interested in dissecting this kobold with me? This kobold has been dead for a long time, so the taste may be a little bad."
Suldak didn’t notice anything about the bad smell, maybe because the smell in this laboratory has always been weird.
Surdak looked at the remains of the kobold that had lost its head and internal organs, and saw that Ferdinand was turning it around inside and out, and very carefully inspected the surface skin of the kobold's body, even using a layer of thick hair on the outside of the body.
Shave it off with a razor.
Suldak asked: "Is this your daily routine of magic research?"
Scholar Ferdinand laughed, peeled off the kobold's skin bit by bit with a skinning knife, and said to Surdak:
"Of course, but this kind of dissection does not happen every day. Last month's Imperial Capital Magic News reported that someone discovered a hidden life magic pattern on the body of a fishman, and it is also the rarest spiritual direction. This life magic pattern is in
The imperial capital was sold for a huge price, and now the murlocs in the magic market have been snapped up like crazy, so I spent a gold coin to buy a kobold and dissected it to see if I would have such good luck."
Suldak was a little stunned when he heard this, and thought: Why dissect a kobold just because of this?
Scholar Ferdinand shrugged his shoulders and said with some regret: "But now I have the answer - yes! I don't have such good luck."
“Did you buy this kobold at the market?” Surdak asked.
Scholar Ferdinand said: "That's right! It was obtained through bidding in the tavern auction house. It was shipped from Constantinople. However, during the transportation process, the kobold actually froze to death. When it arrived at Highland
It was already hard when it was cut, so it has no research value."
Surdak had only seen a lot of adventurers' superficial introductions to the kobold sub-human race in some ranger biographies before. In fact, this was the first time he saw a real kobold, and it was kind of creepy.
It feels like the torso of this kobold has the characteristics of a human body, but the head and feet are like a dog, and there is a furry tail behind the butt.
The kobolds, which are less than one and a half meters long, are very thin and skinny. Surdak wants to know whether they look more like humans or dogs.
Scholar Ferdinand saw that Surdak was not affected by the stench and looked at the kobolds on the test bench seriously, and continued to introduce Suldak: "These subhuman kobolds are more common in the western mining area.
Yes, they are usually in abandoned mining areas, and slave traders are more willing to sell these kobolds to some big mine owners. After all, they are only a minority for research."
Unexpectedly, these kobolds could actually serve as mining slaves. Suldak thought that he had a sulfur mine in his territory on Pussy Mountain. He might have the opportunity to buy some kobold miners, and it seemed that these kobold slaves were not mine slaves.
Too expensive.
Scholar Ferdinand discarded the mutilated body of the kobold, then carried the head of the kobold that was cleaned by the female assistant to the experimental table with one hand, and made two gestures on the nose of the kobold with a scalpel, beaming with joy.
Earth said to Surdak:
“This kind of kobold is born with an extremely sensitive sense of smell. Are you interested in trying to transplant a kobold’s nose?”
Suldak shook his head vigorously, indicating that he had no such interest.
Scholar Ferdinand laughed, slightly processed the kobold's head, sealed it in a jar, and then carried the glass jar to the laboratory shelf. He excitedly explained to Surdak that in fact, these subhuman species were still
It has many advantages. The kobold's nose has a dog-like sense of smell, the gnoll's ears have keen hearing, and the murloc's gills have the ability to breathe underwater.
Scholar Ferdinand boasted to Suldak with some pride that he had successfully transplanted a kobold's nose into an old man who had lost his sense of smell, giving him a dog-like sense of smell. The old man then glowed for the first time.
In the second spring, he became a very famous local guide. He also transplanted a jackal's ear to a man who had lost his hearing. In the following years, the man often lost his temper because of the sound of two young men fighting in the middle of the night.
Too noisy to sleep...
Suldak was a little stunned when he heard these strange stories, and then Scholar Ferdinand encouraged him to ask whether he needed to undergo physical transformation.
Nowadays, Scholar Ferdinand is obviously not satisfied with transplanting unique parts of demi-humans into human bodies. He has even more crazy ideas. He wants to transplant some special parts of Warcraft into human bodies, so he needs stronger carrying capacity.
body, he is planning to transplant the eyes of the bald eagle into the archer's eye socket, so that the archer will have the power of eagle eyes, and maybe in this way he can grow into a marksman.
To this end, he has prepared the eyeballs of two different eagle monsters, but he has never been able to find a suitable person to transplant them.
Suldak said: "Scholar Ferdinand, I just want to know some knowledge about magic pattern breeding equipment. If you want to find someone suitable for transplanting eagle eyes, you might as well go to the plane battlefield and take a look. There are people there almost every day."
Some people are injured, and some soldiers with injured eyes may agree to restore their sight with your help..."
“This is really a good idea!” Scholar Ferdinand’s eyes lit up and he clapped his hands.
He stared at his big eyes and said: "Why didn't I think of moving the laboratory to the battlefield before? It seems that I should plan it carefully..."
Scholar Ferdinand then said to Suldak: "As for magic pattern cloaking, this is the area where wizards from some remote tribes and spellcasters who are proficient in dark magic are best at it. Few magicians in the Green Empire are good at this."
, although the Magic Guild invests huge manpower and material resources in researching the Magic Pattern of Life every year, but... in fact, the Magic Guild is very opposed to the Magic Pattern Clothing, because the Magic Pattern Clothing will impact the Magic Guild's inscription industry, and everyone just wants to master the Magic Pattern of Life.
And use this magic pattern on the magic pattern structure..."
Scholar Ferdinand told Surdak a lot about this aspect of knowledge, and his area of expertise is transplanting parts of magical beasts into humans, so he also has very profound insights into implanting magical skin into the body.
The two then talked about the so-called carrying capacity. Scholar Ferdinand admired young knights like Suldak who were studious and did not reject his research, and hoped to cooperate in this area in the future.
Suldak could only respond with "haha".
When Surdak was about to say goodbye and leave, Scholar Ferdinand also gave Surdak a bottle of strengthening potion with certain magical ingredients, which was said to be able to increase the body's carrying capacity to a certain extent.
…
A week later, the compensation from the Magic Guild was also distributed, and the young magician Lance personally told Suldak the good news.
The result also shocked Surdak. In addition to a large sum of magic crystals, the Magic Guild actually compensated Surdak with a set of 'Earth Shield' magic patterns.
Suldak is walking his horse in the outer ring of the knight training ground.
When he heard Lance say this, he thought he had heard wrongly, and felt like something was falling out of the sky.
I didn’t expect that a set of valuable magic patterns would appear like this.
Originally, he planned to raise some more money and use the base materials of the salamander leather armor to find an inscriptionist to customize some parts of the magic pattern structure. Now it seems that the plan is not changing quickly...
