Customizing witchcraft is another way to make money in Colin's plan.
And this idea came from the snow in front of me.
"It's a demand from Darun's agency." Xue Lai continued to tell him.
Dalun Agency is an underground trade fair with a membership system, and Xuelai is one of its members.
Xue Lai still has many memberships like this. According to her, there should be at least a dozen.
Apart from the occasional trading of witchcraft tools, magic potions, etc., the main transaction content of such underground trades is knowledge.
Although it sounds very high-level, based on what I have learned in recent days——
In fact, the knowledge traded in this kind of underground organization is at most second level, and only Dipoutian may have third level knowledge.
There is no way, the Supreme Council's control over knowledge is too strict.
Strictly speaking, let alone second-level knowledge, even first-level knowledge is rare in the market.
Under normal circumstances, if a wizard from an ordinary school has a first-level witchcraft and wants to exchange it for other resources, he usually turns it in to the school or his own faction, exchanges for points, and then exchanges for resources.
Then there will be a larger level of knowledge transactions between different factions within the school and between schools to ensure the circulation of knowledge.
At the same time, it also ensures the status of knowledge monopoly.
But there will always be a need for trading knowledge among ordinary wizards.
And as long as there is a need, there will always be a solution.
This type of trade fair is a special organization born for the circulation of first-level and above witchcraft.
The initial form was mainly about trading knowledge between friends. Later, as friends introduced friends, friends of friends introduced friends...the prototype of the trade fair was born.
Of course, the current knowledge fairs like Darren Commission are already mature products that have been developed and rectified for a long time.
They are in a gray area, and the Supreme Council acquiesces to their existence, but also limits their ability to circulate higher-level knowledge.
'It's such a depressing world.' Colin sighed silently, 'not only because of the ubiquitous filthy talk, but also because of this powerless social system...it makes people unable to see more upward possibilities.'
He put away his thoughts and continued to smile and asked Xue Lai: "So what exactly is customized witchcraft?"
The so-called custom witchcraft, as its literal meaning means, is to create a witchcraft that meets the needs of the client.
As the number of members of the trade fair increases, it is of course impossible to simply buy and sell witchcraft to meet everyone's unique needs.
So this kind of transaction form came into being.
Dalen Commission is a trade fair that focuses more on issuing customized witchcraft commissions. Its scale is the first echelon in the city of Neustadt.
It is worth mentioning that if you happen to have witchcraft that meets the requirements, you can trade it directly, which is equivalent to normal buying and selling witchcraft.
Xue Lai continued to answer:
"The requirement for force field witchcraft is that it can at least defend against second-level primary spiritual attacks, and can be used in conjunction with the phantom shield. The commission price is two hundred thousand magic stones."
"Here are the detailed requirements." Xue Lai handed over a piece of white paper, seemingly prepared for it.
Maybe Colin wouldn't ask, and she would tell him about it after the exchange.
Colin took the white paper and after reading it for a while, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
When he first heard the words force field witchcraft, he had some expectations in his heart. After all, the witchcraft he was defending against - the steel temperature-resistant force field was a force field witchcraft.
Therefore, he still has some confidence in the customized force field defense witchcraft.
But now that I look at it carefully, it seems that it is still a bit difficult.
For this customized commission, the nature of the force field required is mainly focused on defense against mental attacks, and the direction of the force field that I am better at is actually physical defense.
This may be nothing, after all, with the golden paper, it is completely possible to find force field witchcraft that focuses on defending against mental attacks to break the limit, and finally meet the requirements.
But there is another requirement - it can be used in combination with the phantom shield.
He had never heard of the witchcraft of Spiritual Illusion Shield before, but judging from the description on the white paper handed over by Xue Lai, Spiritual Illusion Shield was also a force field witchcraft for mental defense.
This is a little difficult to do.
As we all know, two witchcraft whose principles are too similar cannot be used at the same time. This will cause the witchcraft to be abnormal, or the second witchcraft cannot be successfully cast.
It's like holding a stick in your hand and it's so full that you can't hold another weapon.
However, if you are not holding another weapon, but wearing an arm armor or the like, it will naturally have no effect.
But the phantom shield and the force field witchcraft required by the client are obviously not included in this.
They are all force field witchcraft that focus on defense against mental attacks.
Therefore, in order to avoid conflict between the two due to being too similar, before creating this customized witchcraft, you must first have a deep understanding of the phantom shield.
This is enough to screen him out.
"Did the client provide the witchcraft of the phantom cover?" Colin put down the blank paper and asked without giving up.
"No." Xue Lai shook his head, paused and speculated:
"The phantom shield is a common defensive witchcraft used by members of the Dulie school. If the client is a member of the Dulie school, he should not be able to teach it to others without authorization."
Colin nodded and sighed: "It seems that the two hundred thousand magic stones have nothing to do with me."
As if thinking of something, he asked again: "Is there any exchange for the witchcraft of the spiritual illusory cover in the library of true knowledge?"
"No, it was one of the original 'lost knowledges'."
Seeing Xue Lai's answer, Colin finally gave up on taking on the task.
"Is Your Excellency Xue Lai a member of the Du Lie School?" he suddenly asked out of curiosity.
"No." Xue Lai shook his head, and then said, "I am not a wizard of the school now."
Colin was slightly startled and stopped eating.
He originally thought that Xue Lai knew about the phantom shield, perhaps because she was a member of the Du Lie School.
But I never expected that Xue Lai was not a wizard from the school?!
No, what Xue is talking about is not now.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You are not a member of the school now?" Colin asked subconsciously in confusion.
"I used to be a member of the Yinsta School, but later I left." Xue Lai explained simply without giving in.
Colin was slightly startled, a little surprised.
The Yinstad School is one of the most powerful schools in the city of Neuinstadt, and it is also the superior school of the Xisheng School.
Xue Lai's face was as calm as ever, she just reached out and smoothed the snow-like white hair beside her ears, and said:
"We talked about it the day before yesterday?"
Seeing Xue Lai's appearance, Colin also restrained his intention to continue exploring and followed her words to start exchanging knowledge.
In this way, an hour passed quickly.
Before leaving, Xue Lai seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Dalun Agency has approved my recommendation. You should receive your membership certificate within a week."
"Thank you, Xue Lai." Colin looked happy and said with a smile.
"No need." Xue Lai shook his head, his delicate face full of seriousness, "You take the time to exchange knowledge with me, and I will help you obtain membership in these trade fairs. It is a fair exchange. There is nothing to thank you for."
"Those are two things. Exchanging knowledge with you will also help me." Colin shook his head in disagreement.
Although I was willing to spend time with Xue to communicate in the first place, it was indeed a somewhat utilitarian idea. I wanted to learn more about her through her and see if I could seek more resources.
But when Xue Lai really helped him, he was indeed sincerely grateful to her, and there was no difference between the two.
Retribution is the most basic principle in Colin's heart, and it is also the buoy that anchors him in this bizarre world.
Xue Lai was stunned for a moment, said nothing, nodded slightly and continued to turn around and leave.
"I live at No. 67, Rue Sainte-Lieux, in the Huapei neighborhood. If you are free, you are welcome to come over as a guest. My maid is very good at cooking." Colin thought for a while and suddenly added.
Although Xue Lai's character is a little unkind and he doesn't know how to say nice things, most of the time the conversation with him is about knowledge. There is no deliberate flattery or flattery, nor is there any hypocrisy or ridicule.
It looks like an impersonal robot.
But for Colin, Xue Lai's style is quite to his liking.
Whether in his previous life or now, he does not like polite compliments. He prefers such clean and neat social interactions.
Xue Lai stopped and looked at the rare hesitation on his face.
When Colin saw her like this, he suddenly realized his recklessness, and explained with a straightforward smile:
"It doesn't matter, this is just an invitation. It's up to you whether to come or not. Don't worry."
"Yes." Xue Lai looked at him seriously, nodded, then turned and left.
The thick laboratory door was closed. Colin touched his chin, shook his head, and finally put his thoughts aside and began to practice witchcraft.
Social networking is indeed a troublesome thing...
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Colin left the True Knowledge Society early and came to Copper Rose Street in the center of Neuenstadt.
As mentioned before, custom witchcraft is only one of the planned ways to make money.
He came here today just to research the market, see what popular categories there are among zero-level witchcraft, and ask those shops if they have any plans to acquire witchcraft.
At the same time, if appropriate, buy a few more zero-level witchcraft.
After all, earning magic stones is a daily routine in the long run, and high-end customized witchcraft is temporarily unavailable, so let’s make a breakthrough in zero-level witchcraft first.
Tongqiangwei Street is the most prosperous commercial street in the entire city of Neuinstadt.
This is the first stop for almost every wandering wizard who comes to Neustadt.
Colin chose to walk around and take a look first, even though it was not his first time here.
But things have happened in the past, and this is the first time for me to observe carefully like this.
Bookstores, witchcraft shops, potion shops, auction houses... almost all kinds of shops can be found here. Copper Rose Street deserves its reputation as a bustling street.
If there are enough magic stones, I am afraid that all the resources needed for the entire stage from ordinary people to first-level wizards can be gathered here.
Of course, almost no wandering wizards would do this. In addition to necessary expenses, such as food and accommodation, and improving their strength, they would save all their magic stones.
For no other reason than to be able to buy a school entrance exam certificate that was circulated on the black market.
Only after they buy a voucher or collect enough to enter a certain school of thought, will they spend the remaining money elsewhere.
Generally speaking, in order to prepare for school examinations, the cost is also spent on purchasing knowledge.
Along the way, Colin didn't ask many questions about witchcraft. Instead, Colin gained a deeper understanding of the plight of wandering wizards.
I have to say, he is lucky.
In the Holy Flame Kingdom, he accidentally obtained the admission certificate of the Xisheng School.
Otherwise, even if you have gold paper, you may have to wait several years to join the school.
If they are truly helpless and wandering wizards, they usually make a living by taking on tasks that the wizards of the school are not willing to do.
It is dangerous and time-consuming, and in the end, only one in a thousand will be able to successfully accumulate enough magic stones to join the school and leap over the dragon gate.
In fact, most of the wandering wizards that schools mainly recruit are wizards whose families have considerable wealth, whose fathers are also wizards, or who have been educated in the school before, but are only in unknown elementary sects.
There are only a few among the few who can really join the school from a humble beginning like him through their own efforts.
It takes more than the efforts of several generations to transcend class.
Walking to the end of Copper Rose Street, Colin passed by a mission commissioning guild called Lumba.
Wandering wizards crowded the hall. They all looked different, but they were all in the same hurry.
Colin looked at this scene and felt sad thinking about his past.
But those were things of the past, and he was already deeply aware of how solidified the world’s classes were.
I am still struggling with it, and now I can only live in poverty and live alone.
After walking two more steps, we came to a bookstore.
This place is almost outside the scope of Tongqiangwei Street and is a bit remote, but the business is good, and there are several wizard apprentices making selections.
Colin looked up at the sign.
The badge on the back is not familiar, it seems to belong to an unknown elementary school store.
After pondering for a moment, Colin walked in, planning to start asking about the store from here.
Relying on the strength of a first-level wizard, the shopkeeper was soon alerted and came over.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" the shopkeeper asked, with a friendly look on his face.
"Do you accept witchcraft here? Zero-level witchcraft." Colin said gently.
"What kind of zero-level witchcraft is it? Except for the high-risk witchcraft prescribed by the Supreme Council, we can accept other kinds of witchcraft." The shop owner felt relieved and answered skillfully.
"However, the effects vary by category, and the recycling prices are also somewhat different."
"Can you be more specific?" Colin asked. He came here to investigate which kind of witchcraft has a higher price.
He didn't expect the shop owner to be so polite, but it gave him a lot of trouble.
"Under the same circumstances, offensive witchcraft has the highest price, defensive witchcraft comes second, and the rest of the auxiliary witchcraft depends on the specific situation." the shopkeeper replied.
Colin nodded slightly, this was pretty much what he expected.
Then he asked for more details.
These are the keys to this trip.
Ten minutes later, he left the bookstore with a full harvest.
In the next hour or so, Colin went to several other bookstores to inquire.
Finally, in the evening, he returned to the True Knowledge Society laboratory with four carefully selected zero-level lower-level witchcraft.
