One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 39 Bargaining

"You think I can't decipher the internal structure and secrets of this cylindrical crystal, so you want the lion to open up?" 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 sure, then please make an offer. Anyway, after you buy it, whether you smash it open or use various magic to detect it, It's all your own freedom."

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

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

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

Want to crack?

Let's first understand the dozens of composite materials and compounds that can only be manufactured by modern industry, as well as the original rune sorting.

You must know that even the necromancer Asta took it away for more than a week and studied it for more than a week, but in the end he couldn't solve the mystery.

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

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

With that skill, it is better to build a few more fleshy golems, or other high-level undead creatures.

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

The price of general storage magic items is usually calculated by multiplying the base price by the number of spell circles, and then by the caster's spellcasting level.

Since this is your unique technology, I am giving you an additional 5,000 gold coins as an added value to your knowledge.

Now please tell me your spellcasting level. "

The woman is obviously full of confidence in her knowledge reserve in the field of magic item manufacturing, and she doesn't think that this interesting gadget can be difficult for herself.

The kind of pride and strong self-confidence that is about to come out also proves from a certain aspect that her character is definitely influenced by the other half of non-human blood.

"My spellcasting level is level five."

Zuo Si didn't intend to waste time talking, and directly reported the level of his creator.

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

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

Because in the circle of spellcasters, appearance cannot be used as the basis for judging real age at all.

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

Some stupid apprentices would even turn themselves into chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and other small animals because they were not careful enough when studying transformation magic.

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

Zuo Si carefully gave a vague answer.

He is not a fool, he can see the gemstone in the opponent's hand, it is likely to be a magic item that can tell whether other people are lying.

If the answer is too direct, others can infer a lot of useful information from it.

Seeing that Zuo Si started to become vigilant, the woman didn't continue to inquire further, but put away the gems and said straightforwardly: "The basic price of a magic wand is 750 gold coins.

This interesting device of yours can absorb and store the three-ring [Lightning Art], so it will be calculated according to the three-ring magic.

Finally multiplied by the caster level.

total is……"

"wait!"

Before the other party finished the calculation, Zuo Si interrupted immediately.

"My energy storage device is not a magic wand.

Not only can it absorb the [Lightning Technique] of the third ring, it can also absorb the [Serial Lightning] of the sixth ring, and even the lightning breath of the blue dragon.

And it won't break when the last shot is consumed like a wand.

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

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

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

Obviously, she also understands that she is deliberately lowering the price by considering the energy storage device as a magic wand.

Now that they are dismantled, they can only be forced to enter the stage of bargaining.

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

After a little thought, Zuo Si directly doubled the original base price.

But this behavior of exorbitant asking price immediately attracted the ridicule of the woman: "1500 gold coins?

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

Or just a novice who doesn't know how to do it?

At this price, you can buy a 50-shot three-ring magic wand.

And your device is now completely empty.

I give 1200 at most. "

"1200?"

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

"make a deal!"

"1200 multiplied by 5 and then multiplied by 3, and finally adding 5000, a total of 23000 gold coins. After deducting the 1647 you owed me before, I should pay you 21353 gold coins."

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

Just when she was about to open the suspected [dimension bag] cloth pocket to get money, Zuo Si suddenly pointed to the spell book blind box and said, "I want to try my luck."

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

no problem! Take your pick.

Remember, no spells can be opened or cast for identification.

Its value can only be judged by its appearance. "

After all, a hint of amusement flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she made a gesture of invitation, as if she was expecting to see some interesting pictures.

Zuo Si noticed the mischievous look in the shopkeeper's eyes, and immediately realized that most of the spells recorded in these spell books were not worth 5000 gold coins.

But he didn't show any nervousness. He calmly picked up one spell book after another with different materials, colors and decoration styles, carefully examined them, and then put them back one after another.

The selection process lasted a full twenty minutes.

In the end, he selected two from dozens of spell books.

One of the books looked very simple, except for the pale yellow cover which was still intact, the other places were tattered.

The edges of some pages are even jagged.

As for the other book, it was quite the opposite. The cover was densely inlaid with precious stones, and the edge of the cover was even inlaid with gold and silver edges.

"Are you sure it's these two books? You must know that after you choose, no matter how many spells are recorded in it after opening, you can't go back on your word." The woman reminded meaningfully.

Through this pretentious reminder, she was able to release an invisible pressure on the person who picked the spell book, thus affecting their initial judgment.

But Zuo Si was unaffected at all, and responded bluntly: "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.

Soon, though, the disappointment turned to shock and disbelief.

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

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

But there are also five three-ring spells and two four-ring spells.

There is no doubt that the value of this spell book is definitely more than 5000 gold coins.

Although the other book recorded a little less spells, it had a fifth ring [Teleportation].

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 "trash".

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 picked out two books at once.

It almost made her wonder if the other party was kissed and blessed by the goddess of luck, Tymora.
