But Xia Duo is not a young man who can't stand the excitement, "Let's look at the price first. If the price is right, I also need a 2-ring spell."
"Guest, this, this [Summoning Mount] is a necessary spell for a mage. The price - you know!"
"How much?"
"1,000 gold coins?"
Sha Duo was about to leave immediately. Griffith grabbed Sha Duo and said, "Guest, don't worry, 1,000 gold coins is the price given to others. I remember you, Sha Duo, the new mage of the Tower of Time, I should give it to you personally."
If you certify your spellcasting level, I will give you 800 gold coins."
"It's too expensive. Since you know that I'm just a new mage, you should know that I don't have much money." Xia Zuozhi was about to leave again.
"Isn't that right? Master Xia Duo has certified as a level 2 mage, isn't it to receive a salary that meets the level? 800 gold coins is just a few months' salary, but the time saved cannot be bought with 800 gold coins!"
Griffith finally said something as a human being, saving time is indeed important, but Shado's learning speed is beyond his imagination.
For a level 1 spell, from borrowing a book in the library to successfully casting it for the first time, Xia Duo estimated that it would only take him less than a week.
Only buying it for 800 gold coins for one week made Xia Duo feel pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
He wanted to directly say whether he could sell the 100 gold coins, or get out if he didn't sell, but the opponent's identity as a mid-level mage was weighing on his head. If the opponent became angry and took action on the spot, moving out the lord might not be able to save him.
For the first time, Xia Duo felt the disadvantages of making a deal with a strong man. Success or failure depended entirely on the character of the other party. Just like the situation of the mage apprentice just now also depended entirely on Xia Duo's character.
If Xia Duo attacks him, based on Xia Duo's understanding of the territorial laws, as long as he does not die on the spot, he will only need to pay less than 100 gold coins. Even if he dies on the spot, there is a high probability that nothing will happen to him.
It's nothing more than compensating some more gold coins and adding other penalties, but this will not affect Xia Duo's authority and normal activities in the Mage Tower at all.
Is Griffith a good person? Shado didn't know, but he knew that the other party must be a person who likes gold coins! However, he still counter-offered directly, because after all, 800 gold coins seemed unreliable.
"400 gold coins, is that too much?"
"Deal!" Griffith agreed immediately without any hesitation.
Looking at his face, almost smiling, Xia Duo knew that he could still make a counter-offer, but the more he paid, the higher the risk.
You will learn from mistakes. You must ask clearly next time. Try to avoid trading partners that are beyond your scope of dealing with them!
At this moment, Griffith completely ignored Sha Duo's dark face and asked with a smile: "Master Sha Duo, do you need any other spells?"
"What is the price of a 2nd level spell?"
"Well! Different spells have different prices. I wonder which one Master Xia Duo wants?"
Xia Duo doesn't know much about second-level spells, but he still knows the common ones, "[Protect Arrows]!"
This spell is powerful enough to withstand most far-reaching attacks, such as crossbow shots that cannot be blocked by [Mage Armor]. It is simply a must-have life-saving spell for home and travel.
If you can understand it in advance, it may be helpful to improve [Spell Armor]. Of course, the premise of all this is that the price is right.
"Protect arrows? This, this -" Griffith seemed to hesitate, but seeing Sha Duo's expectant eyes, Griffith gritted his teeth and whispered, "Master Sha Duo, I haven't mastered this spell either.
"
"..."
The disbelief was almost written on Xia Duo's face. He really didn't believe it. If his prediction was correct, the principles of [Protective Arrow] and [Spell Armor] should be different, but the strength of the protection was different.
He felt that as long as he had access to the second level of the magic network, he should be able to study it himself. How come Griffith, an intermediate mage, couldn't even know this life-saving spell?
"Ahem - Master Xia Duo, I'm just a wild mage." Griffith's face seemed to be lonely, but before Xia Duo could see it clearly, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Sha Duo knew that wild mages were actually mages who had not joined any force. The mages' union did not count, only the superior Arcane Mage Union did.
But even if a mid-level mage is a wild mage, he is not so inferior! But if you think about the source of their spells, it becomes understandable.
Perhaps their spells were traded in this way, so naturally such important life-saving spells would not be easily sold to others!
Chateau still didn't believe that Griffith didn't know how to [Protect Arrows], and just assumed that he was unwilling to sell it, but since he didn't want to sell it, Chateau was ready to end the transaction.
However, before Shado could speak, Griffith pulled him into a corner with a mysterious look on his face and lowered his voice, "I also have a psychic spell here, does Master Shado need it?"
"Psychic magic?"
"Keep your voice down!" Griffith's expression changed drastically and he looked around, "This is a spell that prohibits trading under the territorial order!"
When Xia Duo heard this, he became a little nervous. Although he had never heard of this ban, there was indeed no information about psychic spells in the Tower of Time Library.
Although he is averse to psychic magic, it is a spell for others. If he mastered it himself, he would never have any objection.
This is like nuclear weapons on earth. Although the five countries strongly oppose it, it is only because they already have them. If they don't, that's another story.
In other words, only if you have it you have the right to object.
Of course, Shado didn't know whether psychic magic was a nuclear weapon in Nese, but now that he had encountered it, he couldn't miss it.
As for the so-called ban, he didn't take it to heart. It should be aimed at businesses. For members of the Mage Tower, as long as they did not explicitly violate the rules of the Mage Tower, some unspoken rules were actually allowed.
But at this point, he also confirmed that Griffith really didn't know how to [Protect Arrows], and he even dared to sell psychic spells, so why worry about life-saving spells!
"What kind of spell is it?"
"[Charming Humans]."
Xia Duo felt excited, and he knew the function just by hearing the name, "What's the price?"
"One price, 1,000 gold coins!" This time Griffith killed the price.
Xia Duo had 1,000 gold coins in his hand, but precisely because he had so much money, he felt itchy in his heart, "Can't we have less?"
"Master Xia Duo, I don't know this spell myself, but someone else's learning scroll is for sale on my behalf. Others charge 900 gold coins, and I only earn a risk fee."
Griffith's tone didn't sound fake, and Shado did have some doubts, but the mental spells had already taken over his mind, and he now felt both the pride of taking advantage and the pleasure of violating the prohibition.
Coupled with the spiritual magic, it was indeed very attractive to him, so Xia Duo agreed without much hesitation.
14 exchange vouchers worth 100 gold coins were exchanged for only two scrolls, one of which was [Summoning Mount].
Although he couldn't confirm whether it was [Summoning Mount] through the details, he could tell that it was a level 1 summoning spell. Regardless of whether it was [Summoning Mount] or not, it was not a loss.
The other study had some explanation, saying it was [Charming Humans]. Xia Duo just opened it and took a look at it, unable to judge, but it was indeed completely different from the type of spell he had learned before.
Coupled with the fact that the drawing styles of the two learning scrolls and the condition of the paper were also different, Shado temporarily believed Griffith.
After the handover was completed, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Before leaving, Griffith reminded him again, "Mr. Chateau, mental magic does involve prohibitions. When you leave this door, don't say that I sold it to you, otherwise -"
"Don't worry, I know."
Regardless of whether it was a threat or not, Griffith was inevitably killed from the moment he entered the door. Now that he has gained two learning scrolls, it is considered a good result.
Sha Duo's mind slowly focused on the second scroll, and he wanted to return to the mage tower immediately to see if the spell was a spiritual spell.
