Chapter 2650 "Shopping"

"Timestamp?"

The red-haired girl by the fire asked:

"This seems to be a new concept, I have never heard of it."

"This is a concept we defined ourselves: each individual exists at the right time point, and this time point is the timestamp of this individual. The timestamp is of course changing in real time, because the time belonging to the individual is increasing by every second. The introduction of this concept is actually not very meaningful, just treat it as the 'correct time'."

Mr. Davis said:

"Therefore, don't use the 'beacon acorn' at a time that does not belong to you. After all, if you use it after crossing, then everyone after crossing will theoretically have a different 'timestamp' from yours."

"Beacon Acorn", "Oak Lucky Potion", "Empty Bottle Fruit" and even "Time Stability Anchor" are all items on the list of sellable items listed by the [Forest Hermit Group] for Shade. With Shade's current reputation in the Hermit Group, this should be most of the sellable items owned by the hermits.

Among them, the "Time Stability Anchor" is not the most expensive, but the "Lucky Potion" is the most expensive. But other items can be traded in cash, only the "Time Stability Anchor" can only be exchanged for relics.

This item itself is not a relic, but its excellent effect does have the value of a relic. In addition to suppressing the time curse, Shade even thought that after the members of the [Tree Hole Association] wear it, the "Speed ​​Spell" will definitely be suppressed.

So he discussed it with Miss Danister, and finally Shade handed over the poet-level relic [Noble Blood Red] that he got from Marquis Mossen in Moon Bay City, who was played a "Horse Heart" joke by him and Mr. Bernhard.

This is a relic of the reconnaissance type, which can be transformed into a small bat to share vision with itself, but many magic can achieve the same effect. Shade originally thought that he would have a chance to give it to Ajelina, but now it seems that the little princess can't get it.

The extra "Time Stability Anchor" belongs to "Miss Owl", and she also needs it.

In addition to the stability anchor, it is always right to stock up two bottles of "Oak's Lucky Potion" that can increase luck. Although there is a chance of entering the angel-level relic [Emerald Dream] after drinking the potion, this is not a very bad negative effect.

It's just a pity that this potion cannot be used frequently, and Shade has already used it once this year, so he only bought a small bottle and gave it to Miss Danister.

It's not that they don't want to buy more, but the hermits are only willing to sell one bottle. Their asking price is 100 crowns, which is about 1300 to 1500 gold pounds. Earlier this year, the price of the small bottle sold to Shade by Old John was only 132 pounds (Chapter 1169).

This made Shade think that Old John subsidized the difference last time, but when the hermits took the bottle, Shade found that the amount of this potion was much more than what Old John sold him, and then he realized that the old man in the pawnshop sold the potion separately.

The "beacon acorn", a strange item used to detect time travelers, naturally needs to be purchased. Unlike the "empty bottle fruit" which is a derivative of a relic and the "lucky potion" which is a divine item, the beacon acorn is a supernatural material born purely from nature.

"We found a strange area full of oak trees in the forest. Anyone who enters that area will passively know the current precise time. This is somewhat similar to the effect of the magic "time perception", but this ability will be lost after leaving that area.

All beacon acorns are produced from the oak in that forest. Of course, we also process the acorns to amplify their sensing ability."

This kind of acorn is very durable, so there are many stocks in the hermit group. The hermits also rely on this acorn to find ordinary people who travel through time like Baron Cumming.

The price of an acorn is 6 per crown, which is about 2 gold pounds per acorn. Although this is still expensive, it is very cheap for outsiders who are no longer poor.

However, unlike the acorns used by Father Francois, which can last for a month, the acorns that Shade bought can only work for 24 hours. The duration is related to the growth conditions of the acorns themselves. The acorn eaten by Father Francois is obviously more precious.

The perception range of the acorns is linked to the perception ability of the user.

Shade finally bought 30 acorns, and the hermits also reminded Shade that such things should not be used frequently:

"Their detection function is quite burdensome to the mind."

"It doesn't matter, we have a lot of people."

Shade was not worried about this, and then he and Miss Danister studied the rest of the list.

The hermits not only sell potions and alchemical items, they also sell a small number of relics, some knowledge of ring warlocks and some interesting secrets.

Among the relics, there was a piece of [Youthful Eternal Leaf], and just as Carina had said, the price of this poet-level relic is far higher than the normal poet-level relic. Of course, Shade would not buy it.

In addition, Shade also saw a poet-level relic [Cat and Dog Coin] in the list.

??????55.??????

This relic was once taken out by Luvia. It looked like a one-pound gold coin, with [Cat and Dog, You and Me] engraved on the side.

Luvia herself said that this relic was forged by demons. If you give the coin to any cat or dog, you can gain complete control over it before death. But after all the masters and servants die, the demon will take away the soul of one of them, and this decision is decided by the enslaved person.

"Why did you buy this?"

Miss Danister asked curiously, but Shade smiled and did not explain.

The knowledge of the ring sorcerers includes basic thaumaturgy and incantation, but there are also a few unique secrets mastered by the hermits themselves. Most of the spells are related to "luck" and "trees", and Shade cannot learn it before he gets the miracle of the time key reward - [tree].

"Most of the magic spells that apply luck here require [luck] or [destiny] spiritual runes. Luvia will be very interested in this. Oh, magic berry magic, Dorothy knows this (Chapter 1030).

Ordinary magic berries that heal and restore physical strength and satiety, blue magic berries that store one's own soul, purple magic berries that restore mental strength, and green magic berries that improve toxin resistance. So many variations of this miraculous magic have been developed. ? Magicberry bomb? Is this okay? "

Shade looked at the lists of thaumaturgy, thinking about choosing gifts for Luvia and Dorothy, and also planning to choose interesting powers for himself.

Among the thaumaturgy related to trees, [Call the Tree Man] is a summoning spell, and there are also advanced thaumaturgy to summon more powerful tree shepherds and even "war tree men";

[Bramble Storm] is a field-type thaumaturgy. Large sharp thorns grow from the soil to cover the surface, limiting the movement speed of enemies in the area and causing physical and poison damage. Shade's [Thorns of the Moon] spiritual rune was affected by the "Shadow of the Moon" and could be regarded as a "thorn", so he could learn this, but Shade did not buy it after considering it.

[Forest Barrier] is a defensive thaumaturgy, throwing out a small piece of wood to form a strong and reliable wall shield. Although this kind of shield cannot be moved after it appears, its defensive effect is said to be quite good.

In short, Shade was still very interested in unfamiliar knowledge, but in the end the thaumaturgy he chose was the thaumaturgy [Forest Path] corresponding to the new Enlightenment Rune - [Direction].

This unique thaumaturgy requires not only [direction] but also space talent. Thaumaturgy can only work in the "wild forest" site. The specific effect is to create a trail. Crossing the trail can shorten the distance needed to advance in the forest.

When moving on the path, the outside world can observe the caster, but to them, the caster is just walking. Even if they follow the caster's footsteps, they cannot take this "shortcut" like him.

Of course, the caster can also use direct contact methods such as "holding hands", "hugging", "backing", etc. to let fellow travelers walk on the trail with him or her.

Strictly speaking, this is not a "space jump" because during the use of thaumaturgy, people on the road can see the caster, so this ability can only be classified as a "space-like" ability.

Of course, this ability is very important for Shade who needs to walk through the forest every day. Even if the time saved is not particularly large, it is better than always wasting time on repeated journeys.

What Shade didn't expect was that Miss Denister also chose a thaumaturgy. However, she chose not the most expensive high-level thaumaturgy "Wrath of Nature" on the list, but the spell "Binding Eyes with Leaves".

To use this spell, you need to place a leaf in front of your eyes, and then you can make yourself invisible. Although Shade has not seen this kind of spell anywhere else, it is still a relatively basic auxiliary spell. Miss Daniste probably wants to use this to improve her illusion skills.

However, Shade noticed that these lists of thaumaturgic spells did not include the "natural transformation" and the method of communicating with the power of the forest that the hermits were most good at.

Those powers are the real secrets of the Hermits. Unless Shade is willing to join them and live here from now on, there is no way for him to learn them even if his reputation in the Hermits is high.

As for the secrets that the Hermits are willing to sell, most of them are related to this woodland. They sell detailed topographical maps of Vesta Grove, which include most of the "mysterious areas" of the woodland discovered by the Hermits.

"But I want to warn you."

Hearing that Shade wanted to buy a map, Mr. Meloni, the "Secret Keeper" reminded:

"Even though we have been stationed in this forest for so many years, our understanding of this forest is definitely less than 10%. The forest itself is hiding its own secrets. This is also a way to prevent the sealed paradox insects from escaping. .

This map is for reference only. Don't think that with the map you can move around in the forest at will. "

In addition to marking the location information of the Hermit Group, the map also marked the locations of a small number of tree holes where "space jumps" could be achieved. Of course, if Shade wanted to know the origin of these strange tree holes, he would have to spend money to buy additional information.
