Weird Wizarding World

Customizing witchcraft is another way to make money in Colin's plan.

And this idea comes from the Shelley in front of me.

"It's a demand from Darren's Trust." Shelley continued to tell him.

Darren Agency is an underground trade fair with a membership system, and Shelley is one of its members.

Shelley still has many memberships like this. According to her, there should be at least a dozen.

Except for the occasional trading of witchcraft tools, magic potions, etc., the main content of such underground transactions 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 first-level witchcraft and wants to exchange it for other resources, he usually turns it in to the school or his own faction in exchange 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 levels of knowledge.

‘It’s such a depressing world. ’ Colin sighed silently, ‘Not only because of the ubiquitous dirty talk, but also because of this powerless social system... which makes people unable to see more upward possibilities. ’

He put away his thoughts and continued to ask Shelley with a smile: "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 fair increased, it was certainly impossible to simply buy and sell witchcraft to meet everyone's unique needs.

So this kind of transaction form came into being.

Darren Commission is a trade fair that focuses more on issuing customized witchcraft commissions. Its scale is in 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 trading witchcraft.

Shelley went on to answer:

"The requirement for force field witchcraft is that it can at least defend against second-level primary mental 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." Shelley handed over a piece of white paper, seemingly prepared.

Maybe Colin wouldn't ask, and she would tell him about it after the exchange later.

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 was still somewhat hopeful. 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 looking carefully now, 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 the phantom shield before, but judging from the description on the white paper handed over by Shelley, the phantom shield was also a spiritual defense force field witchcraft.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

As we all know, two witchcraft whose principles are too similar cannot be used at the same time. This will cause abnormalities in the witchcraft, or the second witchcraft cannot be successfully cast.

It's like having a stick in your hand that's so full that you can't hold another weapon.

However, if instead of holding another weapon, you wear 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 was enough to screen him out.

"Did the client provide the witchcraft of the phantom cover?" Colin put down the white paper and asked unwillingly.

"No." Shelley shook his head, paused and speculated:

"The magical 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 Shelley's answer, Colin finally gave up on taking on the task.

"Is Your Excellency Shelley a member of the Dulie School?" he suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"No." Shelley shook his head, and then added, "I am not a wizard of the school now."

Colin was slightly startled and stopped eating.

He originally thought that Shelley knew about the phantom shield, perhaps because she was a member of the Dulie school.

But he never expected that Shelley was not a wizard of the school? !

No, Shelley is saying that it is not now.

"Not a member of the school now?" Colin asked subconsciously in confusion.

"I used to be a member of the Ishtar School, but later I left." Shelley explained simply without selling out.

Colin was slightly startled, a little surprised.

The Ista School is one of the most powerful schools in Neustadt, and it is also the superior school of the Tin Saint School.

Shelley's face was as calm as ever. He just stretched out his hand to smooth the snowy white hair beside his ears and said:

"We talked about it the day before yesterday?"

Seeing Shelley'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, Shelley 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, Shelley." Colin looked happy and said with a smile.

"No need." Shelley shook his head, seriousness written on his delicate face, "You take the time to exchange knowledge with me, and I will help you obtain membership in these trade fairs. It's a fair exchange. There's nothing to thank you for."

"These are two things. Exchanging knowledge with you will also help me." Colin shook his head in disagreement.

Although I was willing to spend time communicating with Shelley in the first place, I did have some utilitarian thoughts. I wanted to learn more about her through her and see if I could seek more resources.

But when Shelley really helped him, he was indeed sincerely grateful to him, 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.

Shelley was stunned for a moment, said nothing, nodded slightly and continued to turn around and leave.

"I live at No. 67 Lieu Saint Street in the Huapei District. 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 said suddenly.

Although Shelley's character was a little unkind and he didn't know how to say nice things, most of the time the conversations he had with him were about knowledge, without any deliberate flattery or flattery, nor hypocrisy or ridicule.

It looks like an impersonal robot.

But for Colin, Shelley'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.

Shelley 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." Shelley 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 Neustadt.

As mentioned before, custom witchcraft is just one of the planned ways to make money.

He came here today just to research the market, see what are the popular categories in zero-level witchcraft, and ask those stores 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. High-end customized witchcraft is temporarily unavailable, so let’s make a breakthrough in zero-level witchcraft first.

Copper Rose Street is the most prosperous commercial street in the entire city of Neustadt.

This is the first stop for almost every wandering wizard who comes to Neustadt City.

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 is worthy of 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 in purchasing knowledge.

Along the way, Colin didn't ask many questions about witchcraft, but Colin gained a deeper understanding of the situation 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, the wandering wizards that the schools mainly recruit are actually those whose families have considerable assets, 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 classes.

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 out of 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 shop owner 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 stipulated 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, which was pretty much what he expected.

Then he pressed 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 Zhenzhihui Laboratory with four carefully selected zero-level lower-level witchcraft.
