Career change

"It's so expensive, you're robbing money!" Exclaimed Phyllis.

The old man was also a little helpless, "I have never encountered such an expensive appraisal fee, but the appraisal fee is charged according to the proportion stipulated by the auction house, please understand." ”

Phyllis wanted to say something more, but Kevin grabbed her and said, "In that case, we don't need to do it." ”

Hearing Kevin's words, Phyllis and Darko were stunned, they really couldn't take out 3,000 gold coins, and even if they could, it was estimated that they wouldn't spend so much to identify such a bottle of potion. But giving up so simply doesn't look like Kevin's character.

Kevin looked at the bottle of potion, then turned to the old man and said, "In the early days, there was no such service as appraisal in auction houses, and when the appraisal fee appeared, it was actually derived from liquidated damages. Sellers who want to auction treasures are given free information in the process of handing over the items to the auction house for valuation, but the information is also valuable, so they must sell it at the auction house, and if they don't want to sell it, they need to bear 10% of the liquidated damages. The appraisal fee of 3,000 gold coins is actually the same amount as the liquidated damages, am I right?"

The old man nodded, "Exactly. ”

"In other words, the value of this bottle of potion is ten times the appraisal fee, that is, 30,000 gold coins, which is really expensive. Kevin pointed his finger at his forehead and said as he thought, "Since it is a potion with the same value as a holy weapon, and it is a single elemental attribute, then it can be analyzed." The Flame Potion is a potion of this level, and it can be speculated from this. ”

The Potion of Fire is a very powerful potion that has appeared in the history of the Amesh plane, and the bottle is very famous, but it has not been taken for thousands of years, and its effects have been studied very thoroughly. Kevin showed a strong memory at this time, repeating the contents of the book, "The Flame Potion is a potion made of burning the heart of the Fire Demon in Hell as the main material, it can allow the user to greatly increase the attack, sensitivity and control of the fire and fire elements in a short period of time, and the resistance to water and ice will also be close to the level of immunity. If it is taken by a flame mage, it can also enhance the understanding of the corresponding laws and retain some of the power in the body after the effect time has passed. Kevin looked at the old man and said with a smile, "When it comes to the existence of the level of the Fire Demon, even a grandmaster-level pharmacist can't control the nature of the potion it refines, and the function of the potion depends entirely on the material. If I'm not mistaken, this ice-based potion should be similar to the Flame Potion, right?"

After Kevin finished speaking, the old man stopped making a sound, just shook his head, and didn't know whether he was regretting that he didn't earn the 3,000 appraisal fee, or sighing that the afterlife was terrifying.

"The analysis is good, the efficacy of this potion is similar to what you said. A voice came through the door, and the expressions of the three Darko were a little surprised, and Phyllis did not hide the disgust on her face.

The door opened, and a silver-haired young man walked in, it was Arroyo. As soon as Darko arrived at St. Yale, he had a wolf fighting competition with his team, and he was also extremely impressed by the strength of his inscriptions. When Darko learned that the auction house was the property of the Roche Clenmending family, he naturally remembered the heirs Arroyo and Simone, but he never expected to actually see them.

The old man in the room also stood up and saluted Arroyo, "Young Master." ”

"I've been here to help out these days when I've had nothing to do, and by the way, I took a peek at the treasure being appraised or appraised at this terminal, and I found you. Arroyo smiled and pointed to the alchemy machine on the table, apparently the results of the identification here could be seen elsewhere.

Seeing that Simone didn't appear, Phyllis's face softened a little, and she still asked nonchalantly, "We're doing item identification, and you broke in like this, but you violated our privacy!"

Arroyo reluctantly took out a badge and shook it at Phyllis, "I'm also an appraiser, and although I haven't obtained the qualification of an appraiser, I'm still quite good at grading magic items." Even if you don't believe in my work ethic, you should trust the credibility of the Roche Clonmentin family and will not freely disclose information about the items identified. ”

Darko didn't care, and said with a smile, "I've watched all your games, and I've won them all to advance! There are even three orc warriors who are swapping back and forth! Next, the knockout round will also meet the relatively weak Phoenix team, let's cheer together!"

Arroyo smiled confidently without modesty, "Both of our teams are the same, and the opponent in the first round of the knockout round can be ignored. Escort to the top four, this situation is very good. But I think it's a little bit stronger than our team, and we don't just have three orc warriors. ”

The three of Darko were shocked when they heard this, and Kevin felt that his scalp was a little numb, and he asked incredulously, "You don't want to fight for an orc warrior, do you?"

"Why not?"

The three of Dakko were completely speechless, and sure enough, the way of thinking of the local tyrant was different. In terms of value, the six members of the Darko team together are not too much inferior to the Roche Clenmending team, but they can't figure out why the Roche Crenmending team can invest so much in the Alchemy Grand Prix.

Arroyo saw the doubts of Darko and the others, and said with a smile, "After the orc warriors have participated in the ring and fought with their kind, even if they are not seriously injured, they will have a psychological shadow and affect the later games, so it is necessary to change the orc warriors every time." As for the investment, we are going to heal the injured orc warriors and save them for auction later, and this overdraft is approved by the family. In this way, it is possible to exchange less investment for the advantage that every game is a living force. ”

"No wonder you are so confident, the orc warriors of other teams have already experienced three group games, and the intensity of the knockout rounds will only be higher in the future, and the orc warriors will inevitably leave dark wounds, and your advantage will be bigger and bigger. Darko suddenly felt a little depressed when he said this, compared to this kind of handwriting, the little investment of their team is really like a playhouse.

Phyllis thought of another layer, and hurriedly asked, "You have so many orc warriors, can you sell us one?" so that even if the orc warriors are seriously injured in our later games, there will be a replacement." ”

Arroyo just shook her head as she looked at Phyllis.

"Hey, why are you so stingy, isn't it just an orc warrior, can't we buy it at the highest price before the Alchemy Grand Prix?"

Kevin stopped Phyllis, "Don't you see the purpose of the Roche Clendin family?"

"Purpose?

"Unlike teams like ours, which are improvised and cobbled, teams like GafreΕ™Γ‘k and Roche Clonmentin, since they are named after the family, must have the support of the family behind them. Their family's support was naturally purposeful, and I initially thought that they were just to show off the talented young people in their own family, in order to increase the prestige and status of the whole family. But now it seems that there is still a purpose to show off financial resources. This is true of the Orc Commanders of the Gafreshak family, as well as the Orc warriors of the Roche Clonmentin family, which are changed every game. Kevin looked at Arroyo and said in a firm tone, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have prepared 6 orc warriors, ready to use them until the finals, right?"

Arroyo nodded hurriedly, "You guessed right, the orc warriors used by our team can't appear in other teams, otherwise it seems that we need to sell the orc warriors as soon as possible due to poor capital turnover, and then the effect of pretending to be forced will be greatly reduced." ”

Dakko and Phyllis were speechless at each other, and were hit by this matter, Dacko decided to bring the topic back to the matter of identifying potions, jokingly saying, "Your auction house is really, it costs 3,000 gold coins to identify a bottle of potion, and with so much money, we don't have to fight so hard, just buy off the opponent." ”

Arroyo shrugged, pointed at Kevin, and said, "Didn't your friend say that it's worth the money to become valuable even if it comes with the information fee." This appraisal fee is the rule of our auction house, and I can't break it. ”

The three of Darko were a little disappointed when they heard this, but they heard Arroyo continue, "But your friends have already guessed about it, so it doesn't matter if you tell you." ”

Phyllis was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what kind of potion is this?"

"Frost Dragon Elixir. ”

"Frost Dragon!" Hearing this term, the three of Darko were all surprised, the dragon can be said to be the existence at the top of the food chain, and anything that has anything to do with the dragon will not be simple.

"The Frost Dragon Potion is an extremely rare potion, similar in nature to the Flame Potion. Once consumed, the user will have 45 minutes to inflict a powerful Frost attribute on any attack. If the user is an Ice Mage, the Ice's Attack, Sense, and Control will be greatly increased, and the user's resistance to Fire Magic will be greatly increased to the point of nearing immunity. But the most precious thing about it is that it can improve the user's understanding of the laws of ice, and may even directly gain the ability to manipulate the laws of ice. Although it is only a possibility, you know that the comprehension of the law is all encounterable but not sought, and it is extremely rare to have such a possibility. ”

"Such a good thing!" Phyllis hurriedly withdrew the Frost Dragon Potion into the Spatial Ring, then looked at Arroyo and asked, "You told us all of this, can't it be some kind of plan?"

Arroyo scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "After all, I have provided you with such important information, just charge 300 gold coins, and I can also have an explanation, and you have such a valuable item, I will help you keep this information secret, just use it as hush money." ”

Phyllis stomped her foot violently, pointed at Arroyo and shouted, "Just now you kept talking about what professional ethics you were talking about, and now you are here to blackmail, sure enough, there is no good thing in the bloodline of demon warlocks, all of them are insidious and cunning villains!"

"I said that I wanted to keep the information about the items to be identified, but that doesn't count on the fact that you are in possession of a holy artifact-grade alchemy product. Arroyo touched his nose and explained, "The Demon Warlock only fights with the power of demons, positioning himself as a summoner rather than a spellcaster, and the summoner itself has little to do with the demons of the Chaos and Evil camp. Otherwise, wouldn't you necromancers all be orderly, wicked devils?"

Dakko had already found 300 gold coins and handed them over, and he could still accept such a small amount of money. But Darko realized that Arroyo was not very old, but he actually had a lot of thoughts, and he found a compromise price so quickly. Indeed, if the fact that Darko has the Frost Dragon Elixir is known to others, I am afraid that many people will have bad thoughts, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble, compared to the cost of 300 gold coins in exchange for Arroyo's secrecy.

After the transaction, Darko exchanged some experience with Arroyo about the competition, and the three of them left the auction hall and headed back to Tree Castle. Phyllis took out the potion and shook it again, then handed it to Darko, "Put it away, who may be able to use it one day." Hmph, anyway, I still don't think Agani has any good intentions!"

Darko carefully put the potion into the spatial ring, and then raised the question that he had been holding in his stomach, "It looks like the Saxons have already discovered me, but why didn't they come to arrest me right away?"

Phyllis bit her finger and said, "I'm also strange, the Storm Church will be desperate to catch Wendy, why is the Flame Church so cowardly, they don't even dare to do it." ”

Kevin speculated, "Dacko and Wendy are in a similar situation, but not the same. In contrast, Wendy is more important to the Storm Church, and the Storm Church is more eager to catch Wendy, so it will not care about the Alchemy Guild to make a public move. And although the Flame Church wants to get rid of Darko, it is far from being in such a hurry, there is no need to offend the Alchemy Guild for this, maybe they are waiting for a suitable time to make a move. ”

Darko and Phyllis glanced at each other, and they both understood the timing that Kevin was talking about - it was convenient to find Darko without offending the Alchemy Guild, that is, at the end of the Alchemy Grand Prix!

Kevin continued, "Actually, I still have a guess, Agani said that he didn't come to hunt down Darko, so is it possible that he sent someone else to chase and kill, and Agani wants to use Darko's hand to get rid of that person?"

Darko was stunned for a while, feeling that Kevin's analysis made some sense, but then he wondered, "Who does he want to get rid of, wouldn't it be easier to place an order directly with the Vitamin Guild, why do you want to look for me around the bush?"

"Who knows, maybe you look handsome, right?" Phyllis quipped.

Kevin frowned and thought for a while and said, "The Saxony family and the Lopez family are both of god blood, and the mess in the church should be similar, we may be able to gain something by going back and asking Leah." ”

Phyllis agreed, "Okay, let's go back and ask her." ”

The three of them returned to the Tree Castle, and as soon as they reached the basement from the root corridor, they found Wendy, Leah, and Otto all gathered around the flower field, and Ashiba leaning against a tree stump in the center, looking a little weak.

"What's wrong? Ashiba didn't get hurt in the last game, didn't she wake up after yesterday's game?" Phyllis strangely ran to Ashiba and pulled at his fur but didn't react.

"It's not a question of injury. Leah said with an anxious face, "Aciba's entry into the transition period!"

"What?" Darko cried out in surprise when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Doesn't becoming an orc warrior mean that you have completed the transfer of fighters?

"I was also very surprised at first, but after checking it, I found out that there were three changes in fighters. The first time was the transfer of fighters, and Ashiba had already completed it. Now it's the second time, you can change to a gladiator, gladiator, or boxer, and the third time you have to reach the holy level to become a saint. ”

Changing jobs is a process that every profession must go through, except that some professions only need to be changed once, while others require multiple job changes. Orc fighters obviously fall into the latter category, and they have no choice but to become fighters due to the limitations of their fighting style. Other races, including the human race and the elven race, are good at using weapons and equipment, and few choose the profession of fighter, which has caused a lack of understanding of this profession, which leads to the dilemma they are facing now.

No one would have thought that after the first round of life and death battles, the second round of defeat battles, and the third round of blitzkrieg, Ashiba didn't know which nerve was touched and actually entered the transition period.

The transition period of each profession requires a certain amount of time to transition, and during this time, the transferee will enter a state of weakness, and all aspects of his attributes will be greatly reduced. The transition period for most professions is completed within a week, and as the magical civilization grows and the experience becomes more and more sophisticated, this transition period is gradually shortening. However, the civilization inherited by the orcs is very underdeveloped, and there is an extreme lack of relevant experience, and the transfer is slowly completed by their own accumulation and opportunities, which will inevitably affect the games behind the Dake team.

Phyllis anxiously asked Leah, "How long will it take for Ashiba to change jobs this time?"

Leah gritted her teeth and said, "How do I know, there are no other orc samples to use as a reference. The first time you change to a fighter, you can still find some information, and it is possible to have as little as half a month at that stage and as long as four or five months. But this is the second time I have changed jobs, and there is no relevant record in the information at all. ”

"No records?"

Wendy also floated over and said, "Orcs have a short lifespan and no systematic inheritance, so there are very few orcs who can go through a second transfer, and it is even rarer to be captured as slaves and recorded." In the morning, Leah had already asked someone to do a search, at least no relevant records were found in the library of the Academy of Magic. ”

Phyllis asked eagerly, "Will there be any records from the rest of the world?"

Leah looked at Phyllis in embarrassment and said, "So I'm waiting for you to come back, there are relatively more orcs in the slave market, maybe there will be a record of this." ”

Phyllis raised her eyebrows, "You want me to ask Adam again?"

Leah pouted, but didn't reply.

Darko broke the embarrassment between several people with a cough, "The current situation is that Ashiba has entered the transition period, no matter how long its weakening phase is, we can't shorten it, and we will always have to face this problem in the next games." ”

Otto asked, "And what do you say you want to do?"

"Why don't we use Aciba's weak state as a model for the next game now!" Darko said categorically, "If Aciba's transfer is completed before the next game, then the previous plan shall prevail, if it is not completed, we will fight to the death!"

When Darko said this, Asiba struggled to sit up and let out a howl as if he understood. The six people looked at each other, and they all saw the perseverance in each other's eyes.

"To what extent has the combat effectiveness of the weakened state declined now?" or Kevin was the first to grasp the key point, if the combat power dropped too much and became inaccessible to ordinary orcs, then there was no need to waste time, just give up. If the combat power does not drop much, it will not have much impact on the next games.

Wendy said, "Aciba and Weedmire just practiced against each other, and now they are tired like this, which shows that their endurance and physique have dropped a lot." ”

Otto tapped his shield and said, "The attack power has dropped significantly, and now it is almost at the level of a high-level samurai." ”

When Darko and the others heard this, their expressions all became solemn.
