"Here you go." The shop owner smiled and handed over the magic stone.
Colin took it skillfully, put it in his arms, turned around and walked out of the shop. As he walked, he turned his back to the boss and stuffed the magic stone into the already bulging gray money bag.
It can be said that he is much richer now than before...
Unfortunately, in this world, wealth does not bring him as much security as it did in his previous life.
When he walked out of the door, the weather was sunny. Suddenly, he had a thought in his mind and walked towards the market.
‘Perhaps you can buy some knight combat skills and the like... After all, the magic stone is just magic stone if you keep it in your hand. It is valuable only if you spend it to turn it into strength.’ He thought to himself.
The Solar Breathing Technique is only a practice method and does not have supporting combat skills. As a result, he now has the cultivation level of a high-level knight, but does not have the matching combat power.
Come to the market.
Colin walked around but didn't find any stall selling knight combat skills.
However, this is normal. Whether it is the shops on the mountain or the market, most of the things sold are related to wizards.
There are all kinds of witchcraft secrets, witchcraft robes, witchcraft crystals, and various monster materials.
But things like the Knight's Breathing Technique can only be seen very occasionally.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky, it looked like it would still be some time before dark.
He hesitated and continued walking down the mountain.
The mountain on the island is not high and the slope is gentle.
The entire gathering place is located on the southeast side of the hillside. The highest point is the Lapp Wizard Territory, and at the foot of the mountain is a small town.
Counting ordinary people, there are a total of 180,000 to 90,000 people on the island. Among them, there are about 6,000 to 7,000 wizards, and 90% of them are junior apprentices.
Most of the remaining six to seven hundred wizards are intermediate apprentices, and there are only about sixty senior apprentices, less than one tenth.
The Lapp school is the only force on the entire island, with the only official wizard.
Thinking all the way, he walked for a long time and finally saw a city gate, about four or five meters high, with yellow-gray earth walls of the same height extending on both sides.
Standing at the doorway were four burly men wearing steel armor, all carrying long swords on their backs.
Powerful Qi and blood rushed to his face.
‘They should all be great knights.’ Colin secretly guessed.
Only when you get here can you truly arrive at the gathering place on the island.
Previously, the area on the mountain near the school was inhabited by wizards who were at least intermediate apprentice level.
It is closer to the magic stone vein under the Lapp wizard's territory, and the concentration of magic energy is relatively high.
Only capable wizards usually live there.
Most other wizards and ordinary people still live in this small city at the foot of the mountain.
Walking closer to the city gate, Colin discovered that there was a gray plaque above the doorway.
Although the handwriting is very immature, if you look carefully you can still recognize the word "Black Stone".
Under the respectful gaze of the knight guard at the door, Colin took back the identity badge he took out of his pocket and walked into the city.
The original owner had been here several times before. He was no stranger to this small town, and he came to a shop selling books with ease.
Before entering the store, he pinned the school badge on his chest and slowly walked in.
The store is not big, and looks more like a jewelry store in its past life than a bookstore.
Every book is carefully stored in a sturdy iron cabinet.
Some particularly precious ones are even stored in small protective covers.
The boss was sitting behind the counter and resting. He glanced at Colin who came in, and after seeing the triangle badge of the Rapp school on his chest, he quickly stood up and greeted warmly:
"Sir, welcome, what do you need?"
"Do you have any knightly combat skills?" Colin responded with a slight nod.
His attitude towards his boss was not surprising. The Lapp School was the unquestioned ruler of the island.
"Yes, sir, they are all in the cabinet over here."
The boss with a goatee led Colin to the counter on the left, then pulled out a thick piece of paper from the ground and handed it to Colin with both hands.
"Here you go, here's the table of contents."
Colin nodded and took it.
There is not much content in the catalog, just the name, introduction, and price.
He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything he was satisfied with.
Mortal combat skills are indeed very weak.
"Let's get this Can Guang." After hesitating for a moment, he said.
The yellow paper in the catalog is divided into six levels according to the strength of combat skills. The most expensive level has three combat skills, each with secret skills.
Colin picked the one whose profile looked the most powerful...of course it wasn't that great, so he could only hope that the gold paper would break the limit.
After paying one and a half magic stones, and then signing a general contract, the terms were probably only for personal use and not allowed to be passed on to others.
The goatee boss then opened the iron cabinet and handed Canguang to him.
After Colin got it, he flipped through it casually and frowned.
"What's the matter, sir, is there something wrong with the book?" Boss Goatee's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly.
"It's okay." Colin shook his head in denial, then turned around and asked, "Do you know where I can buy rapiers?"
He took a brief look at this Canguang book. It was a book on combat techniques that focused on thrusting. It recommended the use of a rapier.
But the knight's sword in the original owner's home was an ordinary long sword.
"I know, sir." The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied quickly, "Just next door, there is a shop that sells knight swords."
Colin nodded slightly, put away the light, and prepared to buy a rapier.
He can now earn 1.5 magic stones every day, which can be said to be a wealthy man.
When he was about to walk out of the store, he was suddenly startled and stopped.
Outside a grocery store on the opposite street, a familiar blond young man was walking hurriedly.
‘Charlie…why is he here?’ Colin was a little confused.
Although you don't have to go to a place like the Dark Forest to come here, you need to ask the school for instructions.
But generally speaking, members of the school will not come here if they have nothing to do.
‘Did he bring Jeff and the three of them here so late last time?’ Colin thought about the chance encounter last time.
Last time, he thought that Charlie and his party should just go to the market shop outside the wizard's territory.
But now it seems that maybe they also came here that evening?
Colin took a step back into the store, waved his hand to appease the nervous boss, and then peeked at Charlie through the cover of the counter.
Charlie was unaware of his gaze and hurried forward, finally turning into an alley not far to the left.
After his figure completely disappeared, Colin walked out of the store. His eyes flickered as he looked at the entrance of the alley where Charlie disappeared.
But he immediately looked back and followed what the bookstore owner said and went to the shop on the right that sold knight swords.
'Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about, don't do things you shouldn't do...'
The knight sword shop is filled with all kinds of knight swords.
"A rapier? Sir, please wait a moment, I'll look for it." The burly boss said respectfully.
Not long after, he came back holding a stack of long boxes.
The boxes were arranged at a time, and inside were rapiers of different lengths and shapes. Since Colin had mentioned it in advance, the ones he took were all high-quality.
Choosing a rapier didn't take much time for Colin. He always believed in the principle that you get what you pay for, so he directly chose the most expensive rapier, which cost 1 magic stone.
The rapier is called Bee Needle and is about 95 centimeters including the handle. The guard is an unpretentious round shape.
At this point, today's task has been completed.
Colin hung the bee needle around his waist. His half-length blond hair was smooth and shiny, and his blue eyes were full of energy. With his toned figure trained by the solar breathing method and today's dress of shirt and vest, he looked like he had stepped out of a drama script.
handsome young knight.
He subconsciously stroked the exquisite scabbard of Bee Needle.
A man's love for weapons is engraved in his bones.
As an ordinary person in his previous life, he rarely had the opportunity to play with genuine knight swords.
After coming to this world, there was no mobile phone or Internet.
During his short break every day, apart from blowing the sea breeze and watching the sea view by the window, what he did most was play with the knight's sword left by the original owner.
"Now there are new knight swords to play with." Colin said with a smile on his face.
The quality of this bee needle, which is worth 1 magic stone, is obviously far superior to the ordinary knight's sword left by the original owner.
Although the appearance is simple, the details are full of elegance.
While walking on the road, Colin wanted to pull it out several times and wave it around.
It's a pity...this is the city.
However, as soon as you leave the city, there are plenty of bushes on the mountain roads to enjoy.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
But soon, he burst into laughter again.
He inexplicably remembered the scene in his previous life when he picked up a long and straight wooden stick next to a continuous field of rapeseed flowers after school.
It is true that once you have a stick in your hand, the cauliflower will have no head for ten miles.
