The Genius Mage

“I didn’t mean that.” Thomas quickly reached out his hand to stop Maggie, who was about to turn around and leave. “In that case, why don’t I just buy it for you?”

After hearing this, Maggie turned around and glanced at Thomas.

“Will you really buy it for me?” Her tone was obviously hesitant.

Thomas nodded seriously and took out the gold coins to pay. Looking at the mountain of gold coins on the table, the boss’ eyes lit up.

It should be known that his ice muscle grass was not as noble as the cloaked man said. It was just an ordinary herb. Moreover, the purchase price was only a few thousand gold coins. By selling it like this, he had earned tens of thousands of gold coins.

After paying the money, the two left. Maggie was obviously very satisfied with what she had gotten, and she happily held Thomas’ wrist.

Before leaving, Thomas was still very dissatisfied. He glanced at Audrey, apparently dissatisfied with what she had just said.

Audrey only smiled slightly. She liked this kind of people. They did not have any brains and would do whatever she said. It was mainly because of the boss’ cooperation. Otherwise, it would not have gone so smoothly.

“Boss, how much is this herb?” Audrey asked.

The boss, who had been happy because of the unexpected fortune, clearly did not care. He just waved his hand casually.

“I’ll give it to you directly. It’s not something valuable, to begin with. In addition, you just helped me earn so much money. I can’t thank you enough.” He fiddled with the other herbs on the stall. “Do you want to see if there’s anything in this pile that you like? If you like it, just take it. I won’t charge you anymore.”

“No, just this one is enough.” Audrey carefully stuffed the item into her pocket by the side of her clothes. “In that case, thank you, boss.”

The boss smiled and was still counting the money. He did not take it to heart at all.

Only then did Audrey realize that not everyone in the black market was erudite.

This seemingly ordinary herb was actually extremely precious. It could only grow once every hundred years, and it was mixed in a pile of weeds. However, there was a subtle difference between the two. If one did not observe it carefully, one would not be able to notice it.

I really got lucky this time. I encountered such a good herb in such a short time.

Audrey was in a very happy mood, so she casually strolled around the black market. She turned her gaze and saw a magnificent shop.

This was clearly a place that sold weapons. There were quite a number of gorgeous people coming in and out of the shop. Each person who came out was carrying a mysterious box. It was obvious that there was some treasure inside.

Audrey stood outside and took a look. Only then did she realize that Kate and the others all had close-combat weapons. She was the only one who did not have anything. Close-combat only relied on a pair of hands.

Was this not a little too disadvantageous?

Audrey thought of this and walked in. Just by looking at the shop, it was obvious that it had a long history. Every weapon placed on the wall was inlaid with shiny demon cores. As soon as she walked in, she was shocked by the power contained within.

Audrey casually glanced at her latest weapon. It was a small and exquisite dagger that was very suitable to be used as a hidden weapon. There seemed to be three low-level demon cores inlaid on it, and she could faintly sense some battle spirit.

Just this dagger alone cost twenty thousand.

Audrey was immediately shocked by the price. She had never expected that such a weapon could be sold for such a high price.

Moreover, it was a small dagger. Not only did it have a short attack range, but it was also extremely small. Basically, it could not cause much damage.

Just this alone cost 20,000 yuan. One could imagine how expensive the items here were.

After thinking about her small treasury, Audrey decisively chose to give up. Instead of buying such flashy things here, it was better to go to an ordinary weapons store and choose a long sword.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard the discussion of the two youths beside her.

“No way. Why did you bring me here? This thing is so expensive. Do we look like we can afford it?”

“You call this expensive? Let me tell you, every weapon here is forged by a top-tier blacksmith. Furthermore, when they are brandished, they will trigger the power of the fey core, causing secondary damage!” When the youth said this… his tone was clearly very excited.

“Really?” Another person was a little doubtful.

The youth solemnly nodded his head. He casually picked up a longbow hanging on the wall and pulled the bowstring.

It was that one move that instantly alerted Audrey. She could feel the power that was emitted when the bowstring trembled. It was different from the user’s own battle spirit, but it was a pure battle spirit.

So that’s how it is?

“It really is! This is too amazing.” The person clapped his hands, clearly very surprised.

Audrey retracted the steps that she had planned to take out of the shop.

It seemed like the things in this place were worth seeing. If used properly, they could be a great weapon in the competition.

Her extremely thin figure was mixed among the high officials and nobles, making her appear ordinary.

After all, everyone who bought things here was wearing luxurious clothes. It was very strange for an ordinary person who even wore a cloak to sneak in.

She clearly looked like she could not afford to buy things. Why would she appear here?
