"...Six fire crystals, a pound of sky star sand, a box of white root powder, a bottle of red blood dew, six magic stone slabs, a magic hand crossbow, and six enchanted iron crossbow arrows. Your things are complete, you
Come check it out."
Julian, a fat old man, had been waiting for Claude's arrival in the store. He once again led Claude to the secret room inside. He first placed a Pearl of Light, then took out a sheepskin bag from under the counter, and took out the
Claude took out the things he wanted and placed them on the counter one by one.
Claude inspected it carefully and nodded. He took out the ordinary linen money bag from his arms and threw it on the counter: "Look, the money is all in it."
Twenty-one Sullivan gold coins plus two gold crowns, Julian took the trouble to inspect them one by one, and finally put all the money back into the linen purse with satisfaction: "You should get a better purse, at least
It would take a buckskin purse to match the value of these Sullivan gold coins..."
In response to Julian's complaint, Claude just smiled and said nothing. He thought he was stupid. Using a deerskin wallet, it was easy to tell which shop made and sold it. If you spend some patience and ask carefully, you might be able to learn this.
The whereabouts of the deerskin money bag. You must know that the style and pattern of each deerskin money bag are slightly different, and a discerning person can find clues about the owner...
The linen money bag I use is disposable and mostly used for transactions. The price is low and affordable, so it doesn’t hurt to give it away. If you want to find clues about its previous owner from this linen money bag,
That can only be in vain, because the linen money bags sold in those shops are in batches of nearly a hundred each time, and you can't tell the difference between the previous batches. They are all the same style, the same size, and the same rough making.
Julian cracked his mouth angrily: "Do you want me to pack these things of yours? I can give you this sheepskin bag, which will make it easier to carry."
"No, thank you." Claude shook his head and took off the backpack he was carrying from under his burqa: "I brought my own bag, I don't need your sheepskin bag."
To be cautious, who knows if this fat old man Julian has done any tricks on the sheepskin bags. The best way to prevent it is not to use his stuff, or to give it away for free.
"Well, I don't mean any harm." Julian laughed awkwardly and watched Claude put the items on the counter into his backpack one by one. This backpack is also a popular product sold in the open-air market.
It seems to be quite old, so I guess I won’t be able to find anything useful in the store that sells backpacks there…
"Well, by the way, I almost forgot one thing." Julian picked up the linen purse, took out two Sullivan gold coins and placed them on the counter, signaling Claude to put them away.
"What do you mean?" Claude looked at Julian suspiciously. What the hell was this fat old man doing? He actually took the initiative to pay for himself. Has the sun risen from the west? No, it's dark outside now...
"Well, there is an unwritten rule in our underground magic market, that is, for transactions involving more than ten Sullivan gold coins, the handler can get a 10% rebate. You can think of it as a 10% discount.
"So I give you two of the twenty-one Sullivan gold coins." Julian had a sincere smile on his face, and people who didn't know his background would definitely regard him as a model of honest management.
"Nothing else?" Claude looked at the fat old man playfully, picked up two Sullivan gold coins, and tossed them up and down.
"Haha..." Julian's eyes followed the gold coins going up and down: "I want to ask a few questions..."
"Oh, let me ask if you can answer it. I have to think about it." Claude picked up the dropped gold coin and held it in his hand.
"Uh, was it you who did what happened at the Black Snake Club last night?"
"Yes, who told them to block my way?" This can be answered, and Claude said it very domineeringly.
"Aren't you worried that the news about you using magic to hurt someone last night will be reported to the special department in the royal capital?"
"Haha, it's okay, my teacher can make things right." Claude looked confident and talked straight away.
The conflict with the black snake in the alley could not be hidden from Julian, a local snake, and the current questioning also proved this. If the conflict last night hadn't made Julian feel emotional, maybe he wouldn't have done it at all.
He would take out two Sullivan gold coins as some kind of kickback. Obviously, he quoted a high price for the transaction with Claude, and he was afraid that Claude would hold a grudge, so he had to think of a trick to spit out some profits.
The conflict last night was just a test to see whether Claude was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers or whether he didn't know the existence of that special department at all. Maybe he had other reasons. However, Claude blamed his unfounded teacher.
This answer is likely to make Julian rack his brains to think about which magician has the ability to teach a disciple who behaves so recklessly and with such cruel methods...
"By the way, since your teacher has this alchemy magic array, there will definitely be no shortage of magic materials needed for alchemy experiments in the future. If possible, can we have long-term cooperation? These magic materials your teacher needs
I will provide it all, and of course, I will also give you corresponding discounts..." Julian finally revealed his true purpose.
Claude shook his head: "This is difficult to do. To be honest, the prices of magic materials here are too expensive, almost more than half of the underground magic market in the royal capital. It is better to buy my teacher from you directly.
Write a letter and ask someone to bring it over there. If I hadn’t made a mistake this time, I wouldn’t have asked my brothers and sisters to raise money to buy from you..."
"Hehe, hehe, once is true, twice is familiar. We have to be a little cautious when doing transactions for the first time. If you come to buy next time, I promise to give it to you at the market price in the capital. If the quantity is large, I will give it to you.
Preferential price." Julian said with an apologetic smile.
"Let's talk about it next time. Whether I need to buy magic materials can only be determined after my teacher comes back. The most important thing for me now is to replace the damaged alchemy magic talisman array with this new one to prevent the teacher from coming back.
Teach me a lesson. But if you guarantee that the price is affordable, I might be able to recommend it to the teacher and see how he decides." Claude said as if he really had a teacher.
But Julian seemed to be convinced: "Haha, of course, it is up to your teacher to decide whether to buy or not, but little brother will never go wrong if you give me a few nice words, and I won't go wrong if the transaction is completed in the future.
I will forget my little brother’s help..."
Claude slapped the two Sullivan gold coins in his hand on the counter: "Do you have spell scrolls for sale here? If so, let me take a look. If there is something suitable, I will buy it from you, so as not to have to run away again.
Go to the royal capital to find him."
"There are spell scrolls, but what kind of spell does my little brother need?"
"I want that kind of combat spell, do you have it here?" Claude asked.
Julian looked troubled: "To be honest, I don't have combat spells with powerful damage here, and they rarely appear even in the royal capital. You should know that it depends on luck. There happens to be a sale and you happen to be there, and the price is just right for you.
If you can afford it, you can get a combat spell. But I have two auxiliary combat spells here, do you want to take a look?"
Seeing Claude nodding, Julian took out two long boxes from under the counter, opened the lid and took out two magic scrolls. These are not magic scrolls. Magic scrolls can seal magic power on the scrolls, and tearing the seal can release the magic scrolls.
Drawn spells. This kind of spell scroll is used to learn spells. It has a detailed explanation of the structure of the spell magic array and the drawing steps.
What is drawn on a spell scroll is the Feather Falling Technique. In short, it falls from a high place like a feather, instead of "plopping" into a fleshy patty. However, this Feather Falling Technique also has limitations, and it can only be maintained.
The state of feathers in one or two minutes. The note next to it says that it is best not to exceed ten meters. Otherwise, if it is too high, for example, if you jump off a cliff, the first ten meters will fall like feathers, and after two minutes, they will fall like stones and turn into flesh.
cake.
Of course, if you can keep your head clear during the rapid fall and be able to perform the Feather Falling Technique at all times, that's another matter. Maybe it's a height of 300 meters and you fall 290 meters, but the Feather Falling Technique is still successful in the last ten meters.
Being able to land safely is also your ability. However, this is only a theoretical basis. So far, no mage who has learned the feather falling technique can do this.
There is also a spell scroll that depicts long-range arrow protection, which can be called a real combat auxiliary spell. Claude has been thinking about it for a long time just now, but he can't think of any connection between the Feather Fall spell and combat. Maybe in
It can also be used when escaping...
But this long-range arrow protection spell is useless in Claude's opinion. How old is it? Do people still use bows and arrows? They are all playing with muskets. If there is a long-range musket protection spell, I believe this spell will definitely make a prosperous business.
Demand exceeds supply.
Seeing Claude shaking his head and looking at the two spell scrolls with disgust, Julian quickly explained in detail: "Little brother, there are only useless mages in this world, and there are no useless spells. Any spell can be used under certain circumstances."
Every time, there will be unexpected effects. For example, this feather falling technique once helped a mage friend of mine escape several pursuits by the special department. It also brought him great help in hiding traces and picking medicinal materials.
convenient."
Haha, it really has something to do with the escape. Thinking about it, it becomes clear. The pursuers sealed the doors and blocked the stairs in the third- and fourth-floor buildings, thinking that the pursuers could not escape. Unexpectedly, they rushed upstairs in one breath and kicked the room open.
When he opened the door, he saw the pursuer waving goodbye and jumping out of the window, falling to the ground like a feather, and walking away. This made the pursuer so angry that he vomited blood...
Well, this is also a relatively practical spell. You may be prepared for any emergencies, and you might be able to use it at some point. Claude nodded and said that he wanted the spell scroll of the Feather Fall spell.
Julian continued his efforts: "This long-range arrow protection used to be a standard auxiliary spell for every battle mage. If you shoot a long-range arrow protection on yourself before fighting, you don't need to worry about being hurt by hidden arrows and stray arrows.
Of course, today's era is different from the past. No one will use bows and arrows and stone crossbows to fight anymore. It seems that this spell is useless, but in fact it is not. This long-range arrow protection is a way for mages in the field to protect themselves.
Important spells.
Just like the conflict you had with the Black Snake Club in the alley last night, although you won a great victory, you have to be lucky that the Black Snake Club didn't carry around medium and long-range weapons such as hand crossbows and sleeve arrows, otherwise you wouldn't be able to
Maybe you can escape intact.
Now the people of the Black Snake Guild know that the person they have a problem with is a wild mage, and they have prepared a large number of crossbows to prevent you from coming to ask questions. Crossbows have indeed lost their effect on the battlefield, but in these small-scale conflicts,
But it is a weapon for conspiracy..."
Claude was horrified. He had indeed taken advantage of long-range spells last night. If those members of the Black Snake Society were like the fat old man Julian said, carrying hand crossbows and sleeve arrows with them, I'm afraid he would also be in trouble.
It's not easy to go, after all, I can only avoid by dodging, but the alley is so wide, sometimes I can't even dodge...
"Okay, I want these two spell scrolls. How much do you want?" Claude made a decision immediately.
"Just two Sullivan gold coins. You should know that in the royal capital, each of those so-called harmless spells costs ten gold crowns. These two spells of mine are much more practical than those spells, and I will only sell you one Sullivan gold coin."
, only twice the price of those harmless spells, this is a discount for little brothers!"
"Okay, Julian, I accept your favor this time, let's seal the deal," Claude said.
