In the wizarding world, talismans have always been necessary for many wizards to travel at home.

A wizard may not be good at magic spells with strange tones; he may not be able to prepare complex potions; but he must be able to use talismans.

Requiring little magic power and simple rituals—sometimes even rituals that require no preparation—any wizard who can make a fireball the size of a cherry can unleash a power that shocks the world through talismans.

Because of this, the Wizards Alliance, as the maintainer of the order of the wizarding world, has strictly controlled the talismans circulating in the market.

From the appearance of the talismans, to their different powers, to the number of talismans in circulation, the Wumeng has made detailed requirements, and for this reason, it has specially promulgated the "Wizards' Union Talisman Management Measures".

Theoretically, the circulation of talismans with a validity period of more than three months and general lethality is prohibited in the market, and a single customer who purchases more than 50 talismans must report to the three-pronged sword record.

However, in practice, this approach has not been strictly enforced.

Because lawyers in the wizarding world have been arguing endlessly about the criteria for "general lethality".

Of course, the promulgation of the "Administrative Measures for Wizards' Union Talismans" also established a basic standard for the talismans circulating in the market.

For example, the wizards called the talismans valid for three months 'standard talismans' to distinguish the 'high-quality talismans' of more than three months from the 'inferior talismans' of less than three months.

For another example, wizards refer to fifty talismans as "one hand", which means that five fingers of one hand represent fifty talismans, and one transaction can only be limited to this; old-school wizards will shake hands after a transaction to confirm the transaction; Only fifty pieces can be traded at a time, and the wizard needs to re-initiate the transaction after each transaction, so "one hand" is used as a proxy for a complete transaction of talismans.

Even standard talismans have different prices in different regions.

Beta Town is located on the outskirts of the First University of Phuket Island. It has the largest talisman maker in the wizarding world, so the local talisman market provides the benchmark price for the entire wizarding world's talisman market.

In other words, it can be understood as: the price of standard talismans here is the lowest in the wizarding world.

Therefore, Zheng Qing had reason to be shocked by the exchange rate given by the wandering wizard.

According to the market price in Beta Town, a standard talisman with a validity period of three months, and the simplest meditation talisman, the benchmark price is more than one golden bean.

For wizards, the effect of stacking talismans is better, so the unit sales price of the same batch of talismans is higher.

For example, the market price of a meditation talisman is one golden bean; the market price of a single meditation talisman, that is, fifty meditation talismans, will soar to sixty golden beans.

As for the 500 pieces of talisman reported by the wandering wizard, the market price is at least 600 golden beans, which is a total of 60 jade coins!

If there are a few more complicated talismans inside, or if this batch of talismans is sold through the auction house, the value will only be higher!

"This is robbery, sir!" Zheng Qing yelled, waving his hands excitedly, the previous respect and prudence were completely gone on his face.

"The price has been strictly evaluated." The wandering wizard analyzed very calmly: "According to the intensity of your previous practice, you should have accumulated a large number of talismans on hand... It can be speculated that some of the talismans you have accumulated have expired, and some are approaching the expiration date. There are also flawed talismans, which need to be calculated separately for insect consumption, paper repair, packaging, etc. Fifty jade coins are already the price of conscience."

Zheng Qing was stunned, speechless.

There are indeed many accumulated talismans in his gray cloth bag, but he intends to sell these stocks to earn some life fees.

After being reminded by the interviewer Thomas, Zheng Qing sorted out his own small treasury.

According to the market situation he has learned recently, in this batch of inventory, there are nearly a thousand talismans belonging to the "inferior quality"; there are nearly 400 talismans belonging to the "standard" grade; there are even thirty or forty talismans belonging to the " Boutique' Talisman.

"Do you want a non-standard talisman?" Seeing that the wandering wizard refused to budge, Zheng Qing decided to change his mind.

Perhaps because the name of "inferior product" is not pleasant, Zheng Qing deliberately used a very neutral question.

"Exquisite talismans have always been widely welcomed in the market." The wandering wizard replied very slickly.

"I mean the talisman that didn't meet the standard." Zheng Qing blushed and corrected in a muffled voice.

"Oh, low-quality products." The wandering wizard replied dryly: "According to the listed price, one copper is exchanged for one low-quality talisman, and the seller will give a discount if the quantity is large."

"That is to say, one thousand bad-quality talismans is only one jade coin!" Zheng Qing took a deep breath: "This is worse than robbery."

"No one can guarantee the quality of inferior talismans." The wandering wizard is also very helpless: "A talisman that cannot even reach the validity period of three months must have defects in composition or spirit sealing... This kind of talisman is a test for wizards in use. luck. And most wizards don't like to cast their spells by luck."

"But your store does not have the qualifications to buy and sell talismans." Xiao Xiao, who had been standing by the side, suddenly said, "As we all know, talisman trading is an exclusive business of the Wumeng."

The wandering wizard was obviously caught off guard by the question.

It may have been a long time since anyone asked him questions about his qualifications or legal aspects.

"This is a person-to-person sales method, referred to as 'p2p'." The wandering wizard explained vaguely: "It's a direct transaction between two wizards, and my shop is just a place for matching... That's it."

"You didn't invoice us, and the source of these things...you understand." Xiao Xiao obviously found that his entry point was very effective, so he held his own notebook and looked at the wandering wizard righteously: "So You need to think about the price again."

"Five hundred standard talismans will cost you money, there is a risk of failure, and this is already a 50% off price for gold card customers... There is no room for negotiation." The wandering wizard quickly stabilized his position and refused very decisively.

"We are quasi-minors! There should be appropriate discounts."

"You are all college students!" The wandering wizard couldn't help complaining: "Be more mature."

Zheng Qing looked at the two people bargaining back and forth, quite powerless.

"Why don't you buy us a drink." Realizing that there was no hope of reducing the price, Zheng Qing finally made a compromise suggestion.

The two people who were arguing at the same time set their eyes on him.

"Yes!" The wandering wizard's expression lightened, and he was obviously relieved: "I'll get the wine!"

After finishing speaking, he left the private room without calling the waiters in the store.

He could tell he was very pleased with being able to gag these young wizards with a few bottles of wine.

Zheng Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.

After the wandering wizard left the private room, he turned to look at his companions.
