A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

"You think I can't decipher the internal structure and secrets of this cylindrical crystal, so you want the lion to open its mouth?" The woman raised her head and asked in a slightly provocative tone.

Zuo Si smiled slightly and nodded without hesitation: "That's right! If you feel confident, please make an offer. Anyway, after buying it, whether you smash it open or use various magics to detect it, It’s your personal freedom.”

Obviously, the reason why he is so confident lies in the several special abilities given by the creator profession.

Without [Refining] and [Shaping], even if outsiders understand the materials and the magic used in manufacturing, they will not be able to copy a real energy storage device.

What's more, this thing also uses some technical design concepts similar to modern batteries, and it was finally successfully manufactured after more than 300 failed experiments.

Want to crack it?

Let’s first understand the dozens of composite materials and compounds that can only be produced by modern industry, as well as the original ordering of runes!

You must know that even the Archmage of the Necromancer Asta took it away and studied it for more than a week, but in the end he was unable to crack the mystery.

Of course, there are also reasons why he is not particularly interested in it.

After all, for a powerful spellcaster obsessed with necromancy and the pursuit of immortality, a mere enhanced version of the [Lightning Wand] is not worth wasting too much time and energy.

If you have that kind of time, you might as well create a few more physical demons, or other high-level undead creatures.

"Very good! Since you are so confident, I still want to try it.

The price of general spell-storing magic items is usually calculated based on the base price multiplied by the spell level, and then multiplied by the manufacturer's spellcasting level.

Since you have a unique skill, I will give you an additional 5,000 gold coins in the added value of knowledge.

Now please tell me your spellcasting level. "

The woman was obviously confident in her knowledge in the field of magic item manufacturing, and did not think that this interesting gadget could stump her at all.

That overwhelming pride and strong self-confidence also proves from a certain aspect that her character is definitely influenced by the other half of her non-human bloodline.

"My spellcasting level is level five."

Zuo Si had no intention of wasting time with his words and straightforwardly reported the rank of his creator.

The woman looked down at the gem in her hand, and then asked, "Are you a mage?"

She didn't show any surprise or surprise that the boy in front of her who looked less than ten years old had five spellcasting levels.

Because in the circle of spellcasters, appearance cannot be used as a basis for judging true age.

Not to mention making yourself younger, you can also change your gender or even your race.

When some stupid apprentices study transformation magic, they may even turn themselves into small animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs because they are not careful enough.

"Sorry, this is a secret. All I can tell you is that I am an arcane spellcaster."

Zuo Si gave a vague answer very carefully.

He was not a fool. He could tell that the gem in the other person's hand was probably a magic item that could tell whether others were lying.

If you answer too directly, others will be able to infer a lot of useful information.

Seeing that Zuo Si started to become wary, the woman did not continue to inquire further, but put away the gem and said bluntly: "The basic price of a magic storage wand is 750 gold coins.

This interesting device of yours can absorb and store three rings of [Lightning Technique], which is calculated according to the three rings of magic.

Finally multiplied by the caster level.

total is……"

"etc!"

Before the other party could complete the calculation, Zuo Si immediately interrupted.

“My energy storage device is not a magic wand.

Not only can it absorb the three-ring [Lightning Technique], but it can also absorb the six-ring [Serial Lightning], and even the blue dragon's lightning breath.

And it won't be damaged after the last shot is used up like a wand.

It is a magic storage device that can be recycled repeatedly, and can also be used to defend against lightning-type magic attacks.

So there is something wrong with the basic price you gave. "

"Then how much do you think it should be?" the woman asked expressionlessly.

Obviously, she also understood that she was deliberately keeping the price down by treating the energy storage device as a magic wand.

Now that it has been exposed, it can only be forced to enter the bargaining stage.

"I think it is reasonable to increase the base price to at least 1,500 gold coins."

After some thought, Zuo Si doubled the original basic price.

But this behavior of asking for a high price immediately attracted the woman's ridicule: "1,500 gold coins?

Do you have any misunderstandings about the pricing of magic items?

Or just a newbie who just doesn’t know how to do it?

You can buy a 50-shot three-ring magic wand at this price.

And your device is now completely empty.

The most I can offer is 1,200. "

"1200?"

Zuo Si quickly calculated in his mind the money he would eventually get in his hand, and nodded immediately.

"make a deal!"

"Multiply 1,200 by 5, then multiply by 3, and finally add 5,000, for a total of 23,000 gold coins. After deducting the 1,647 you owed me before, I should pay you 21,353 gold coins."

The woman obviously has very good mental arithmetic skills and can calculate the accounts between the two of them clearly in the blink of an eye.

Just when she was about to open the cloth bag that looked like a [dimensional bag] to get the money, Zuo Si suddenly pointed at the blind box of the spell book and said, "I want to try my luck."

"Oh? Do you also want to feel the impermanence of fate?

no problem! Please take your pick.

Remember, you cannot open or release any spells for identification.

Its value can only be judged by its appearance. "

After saying that, the woman's eyes flashed with amusement, and then she made a gesture of invitation, as if she was expecting to see some interesting scenes.

Zuo Si noticed the evil look in the shopkeeper's eyes and immediately realized that most of the magic recorded in these spell books were not worth 5,000 gold coins.

But he did not show any nervousness. He calmly picked up the spell books one after another of different materials, colors and decoration styles, looked at them carefully, and then put them back one by one.

The selection process lasted a full twenty minutes.

Finally, he selected two books from dozens of spell books.

One of them looked very plain. Except for the light yellow cover, which was still intact, the rest of the book was in tatters.

Some pages even have jagged edges.

As for the other one, it was completely the opposite. The cover was densely inlaid with gems, and the edge of the cover was even inlaid with gold and silver edges.

"Are you sure these are the two books? You must know that once you choose, no matter how many spells are recorded in it after you open it, you can never go back on it." The woman reminded meaningfully.

Through this kind-hearted reminder, she can release an invisible pressure on the person who chooses the spell book, thereby affecting his or her initial judgment.

But Zuo Si was not affected at all and responded crisply: "I know. Can I open them now?"

"Of course! This is your freedom. In addition, I will deduct 10,000 gold coins from the payment."

Seeing that the "little guy" in front of her was not affected by her, the woman was obviously a little disappointed.

But soon, the disappointment turned to shock and disbelief.

After opening the two spell books chosen by Zuo Si, after a simple spell identification by the female shopkeeper, the tattered one contained more than forty spells.

Although most of them are first- and second-level low-level magic.

But there are also five third-level spells and two fourth-level spells.

There is no doubt that the value of this spell book is definitely more than 5,000 gold coins.

Although the number of spells recorded in the other book is slightly less, it does have a five-ring [Teleportation Spell].

As a shrewd businessman, the woman knew very well how difficult it was to pick out a spell book worth more than 5,000 gold coins from these "tatters".

Moreover, some spell books have been placed here for many years, and even she herself doesn't quite remember what kind of spells are recorded in them.

But today, someone actually picked out two books at once.

It almost made her wonder if the other person had been kissed and blessed by Tymora, the goddess of luck.
