Antiquities Exchange Meeting.

As the name suggests, this is a meeting of wizarding groups centered on ancient artifacts.

The old gentleman in the top hat was one of the original initiators of this exchange meeting, named Abel. He is a third-level peak wizard with a lot of experience, and it is rumored that he may have been promoted to a fourth-level wizard.

Of course, this exchange meeting is not just about exchanging ancient relics, after all, the number of ancient cultural relics is too small to be unearthed every week. When a group of wizards get together, they can't just stare at each other, so they slowly add everything else, such as the anecdotes they come into contact with, the commissions of different events, the acquisition of specific information, the need for various spell items, and so on.

Eventually, the exchange has grown into a small buying and selling market, as well as a tea party where everything is discussed.

The reason why Richard joined this exchange meeting was very simple, that is, to learn a little about the current situation in the mainstream circle of wizards, and by the way, to seek various things that he lacked, such as the unpopular blood spells that he was currently expecting.

It is true that these needs, he can communicate with the black-faced old man Oscar and be solved. However, now that he has left the Truth Society after all, he can't continue to provide Oscar with a lot of information about the Truth Society as before, so if the rest of the people can solve it, he tries not to trouble Oscar.

There is an equivalent exchange between him and Oscar, and he hopes that the personal debt that Oscar owes before can be used in more important places, and if he can, he will not waste it.

Thinking like this, Richard announced the beginning of the exchange meeting, and the old gentleman Abel, looked at him, and said loudly: "According to our custom, every exchange meeting starts with the people in the back, so please ask Wizard Richard to start his exchange." ”

"Smack!"

There was scattered applause in the field, which was regarded as encouragement, and they adjusted the position of the sofa one after another.

Richard was not surprised to see it, after all, he had participated in this exchange meeting many times, and the corresponding process was already very familiar.

Facing the people who were looking at him, he gently bowed his head and said, "Okay, I'll start communicating with me." Actually, it is not accurate to say that it is an exchange, and I came this time mainly to seek everyone's help.

There are two main contents of the help: the first is to continue to seek all kinds of unpopular blood spells, whether they are complete or mutilated, as before, and I will give you a satisfactory price;

The second, slightly more peculiar, was that I was looking for a weapon. The weapon doesn't need any special effects, but it must be heavy and sturdy, preferably stick-shaped. Well, that's all. ”

After Richard finished speaking, there was a slight silence in the audience, and you look at me and I look at you between each other, and they didn't open their mouths for a while.

Just when Richard thought that none of his needs could be satisfied, a lean male wizard sitting on the sofa on his left hand raised his hand and looked over.

"Hello Wizard Richard, my name is Lacey, we met in the last two exchanges. The lean male wizard introduced himself, the skin on his face rubbing against his cheeks, fluctuating like water lines, "I think I should be able to meet the two things you need." ”

"Huh, really?" Richard looked at the other man, slightly surprised.

Could it be such a coincidence?

The other party didn't hesitate, reached out and touched his feet, and picked up a cylindrical object wrapped in black cloth with a length of more than one and a half meters. The black cloth was removed, revealing a straight gray-brown wooden stick with strange patterns on the surface, faintly emitting energy fluctuations, unlike ordinary things.

The rest of the wizards looked at each other with a little curiosity, Richard raised his eyebrows, and asked Lacey, "What is this?"

"This is the legendary branch of the World Tree. "A lean wizard named Lacey, explain.

Richard raised an eyebrow.

"Hah!" Seeing Richard's expression, Lacey chuckled, "Just kidding, how could it be a branch of the World Tree, after all, it's just a legend." Actually, it's a staff. ”

"A staff? is this really a staff?" Richard blinked, slightly skeptical. After all, what is in front of you, ignoring energy fluctuations, is more like an iron rod than a staff.

Lacey also knew why Richard was suspicious, and showed a serious expression, confirming that "this is indeed a staff. Speaking of which, why it is the way it is, it has to start with the making of the staff. ”

Reis did not hesitate to share his knowledge: "Everyone should know that there is not only one way to make a staff, but a variety of methods. In addition to the more common method of choosing the right materials and making them by a staff wizard, there is also a 'planting method'.

The so-called cultivation method, which is more complex and cumbersome than the previous one, but easier to meet individual needs. It usually starts by planting the seeds of a staff vine, and from the time the seed germinates, different potions and spells are applied to it, and after careful cultivation and maintenance, it grows into a specific form.

In this case, a staff made from a mature staff vine, in terms of length, diameter, or otherwise, is more suitable for the caster than a regular staff, and of course, more expensive. ”

"In that case, why don't you keep the staff for yourself?" someone objected.

Lacey smiled bitterly and sighed, "Actually, I want to, but it's a sad story: for a long time, I've wanted to get a staff that is completely tailored for me, and I've been busy for three years since I prepared the seeds, waiting for the final success.

But I'm not a farmer or a gardener, so I don't know much about farming. When the staff vine grew in the first two years, it was normal, but in the third year, I don't know if there was something wrong with my maintenance method or other problems, but the longer it grew, the stranger it became, and it was not what I imagined it to be.

As you can see now, its current length, close to my height, is extremely strong, far more than ordinary steel, and extremely heavy, weighing more than forty pounds. Not to mention that I use it as a staff to fight, daily travel is a big problem. I had no choice but to sell it. ”

At the end, Lacey sighed, looked at Richard and asked, "Wizard Richard, what do you think?" If you are satisfied, this unprocessed staff vine can be sold to you for five hundred low-grade crystals, and I can also give you an incomplete copy of the Somme Staff Cultivation Guide.

You must know that this staff vine has not been pulled out of the soil for a long time, and it can maintain a certain amount of activity for three days. If you buy it back, even if you don't use it as a weapon, replant it in the soil, and cultivate it carefully, you may still be able to harvest a staff you want, and you will definitely not lose it. As for me, forget it, I've completely given up on planting staffs. ”

You yourself have given up hope, but you think that I can change everything, because you think I have a special gift for planting...... Richard heard similar words, couldn't help but slander, but his face didn't show it, thought for a while, nodded at Lacey and agreed: "Okay, deal." ”
