Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Divine Thunder Tower
As a landmark building, the Shenlei Tower is very easy to find, Lei Xiu came to the Shenlei Tower, looking at the high-rise building that was like an upside-down sword, standing straight on the ground, and his heart was excited, his path to an elemental craftsman may have started today, you know, this is the most profitable profession in the entire continent.
After calming down a little, Lei Xiu pushed the door and entered, and the first thing that caught his eye was a striking crystal plate in the center of the hall, with a few lines of large black characters written on it, "Today's top three in the auction of elemental equipment, the 'Flowing Wind Double Blade' created by Cruise, the apprentice of the Divine Thunder Building, can increase the attack power of the Wind Demon Fighter by fifteen%, and has a small chance to trigger the Wind Blade effect; 'Armor-Piercing Flame Ghost Knife', which can increase the attack power of the Fire Demon Fighter by 30% and has a slight armor-piercing effect, and the first two-handed sword 'Flame Explosion' created for the Mandala Master can increase the attack power of the Fire Demon Fighter by 65% and generate explosive power!"
"Armor piercing, it can counteract the armor defense, increase damage, and the blasting power, it will produce an explosion effect after attacking people, so powerful, these two additional skills are very useful!"
Just as Lei Xiu was silently looking at the crystal card, a gentle and polite voice sounded softly in his ear, "This gentleman, welcome to the Divine Thunder Tower, can I help you?"
Lei Xiu looked back and saw a young waiter in a white shirt looking at him with a gentle smile on his face.
After nodding politely in return, Lei Xiu pointed to the crystal plate and said, "May I ask what the auction on this sign means?
The young waiter smiled, "It seems that you are coming to the Divine Thunder Tower for the first time, you are right, our Divine Thunder Building will hold an auction every seven days, to auction the elemental equipment and some rare materials that we think are valuable, the value and quantity of the equipment in each auction are different, if you are a fire demon fighter, you will have an eye today, this auction will have two fire attribute elemental equipment auctions, one is Mr. Anthony's 'Armor-Piercing Ghost Flame Knife', and the other is the latest masterpiece of the Mandala master, the two-handed big sword 'Flame Explosion'." ”
Speaking of Master Mandala, the young attendant's eyes showed a look of reverence, and he continued, "Master-level elemental equipment is not something that can be encountered every time, have you seen the remarks on the sign about weapons?"
Lei Xiu nodded, "See, it produces explosive power, this weapon is indeed very powerful in battle." ”
Slightly stunned, the young waiter smiled, "Sir, it seems that you don't know much about elemental equipment, I'm not talking about blasting power, but the sixty-five percent attack power, for fire demon fighters, it is not difficult to generate blasting power, but it is difficult to increase attack power, and for demon fighters, in addition to improving their own level and enhancing the power of martial arts, only elemental equipment can achieve this effect." ”
Speaking of this, the waiter pointed to the sign and said, "Did you see? Mr. Cruise is a genius apprentice of our Divine Thunder Tower, and now the elemental equipment he has created can increase the attack power by fifteen percent, and once it reaches twenty percent, he can become an elemental master; ”
"As for the Mandala Master, only an Elemental Craftsman who has increased the attack power of the weapon to more than fifty percent can be called a master, and this 'Flame Explosion' of the Mandala Master can be increased by sixty-five percent, which is really powerful!"
Lei Xiu was a little ashamed of what this waiter said, and his face turned a little red, in vain he had always thought that he was an elemental craftsman, but he didn't even know the most important way to distinguish between good and bad elemental equipment, what a shame.
However, he was more ecstatic in his heart, he was a master who could increase his attack power by 65 percent, so the strength that he could create a stack of elemental equipment could not be called a master?
Thinking of this, Lei Xiu's heart became hot, and he hurriedly grabbed the young waiter's hand and said excitedly, "Can you build elemental equipment here?" Oh no, can you please call out the person in charge of this place? I want to meet him. ”
The young waiter was stunned by Lei Xiu's movements, and reflexively wanted to break free of the other party's hand, but Lei Xiu's hand was so strong that he didn't succeed in breaking free several times, so he had to reluctantly smile and said, "Sir, our manager doesn't meet guests casually, do you have an appointment?"
Lei Xiu shook his head and nodded hurriedly, "I didn't have an appointment, but you told him that I am Mr. Fierce's apprentice, and he will definitely see me." ”
The waiter looked at his somewhat painful hand held by Lei Xiu, so he had to say helplessly, "Okay sir, I can pass a message for you, as for the manager who can't see you, I can't guarantee it, but can you let go of my hand first?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiu hurriedly let go of the waiter's hand, touched his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, then please help me pass a word, thank you." ”
The waiter almost fled away from Lei Xiu, his eyes were like looking at a mentally ill person, but just when he wanted to shout to call the guards to come, he hesitated in his heart, and after hesitating for a long time, he still turned his head and walked towards the stairs, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if the fierce Mr. that this young man said really knows the manager, then it will not be easy to let the guards drive him out, hey, let's go and ask.
Ferres, who is not yet forty years old this year, is an honorary baron, his title is obtained by his excellent business ability, and his biggest dream is to replace the word honor with hereditary, because the so-called honor is that there is no fief and cannot be hereditary, and after his death, this title will be taken back by the empire.
For this dream, he resigned from the well-paid position of the Imperial Treasury Office and became the deputy head of the Shenlei Tower in Yaori City, the old manager has reached the age of retirement, and now he has nothing important to do and does not come to the building, so he has become the head of the Shenlei Building, and after he becomes the chief manager in a few years, he can make a request to the headquarters, and this request will change his honorary baron title to hereditary baron.
Sitting in a spacious and luxurious office, Ferres held a glass of wine in his right hand, his eyes squinted slightly, as if he was looking ahead and as if he hadn't seen anything, looking very comfortable. This is his way of relaxing, and this auction has a master-level elemental equipment, so he will personally preside over it, and do the more important things to relax himself in advance to achieve the best condition, which Ferres believes is one of the secrets of his success.
As he was enjoying his relaxed state, a knock on the door interrupted Ferres' ethereal mind, and he frowned in displeasure, and he said in a low voice, "Come in." ”
A middle-aged man in a black shirt cautiously opened the door, walked up to Ferres and whispered, "Lord Deputy Chief, there is a waiter in the hall on the first floor who said that a young man wants to see you, and he said that he is a disciple of Mr. Fierce, and you will definitely see him when you hear it." ”
Ferres' already furrowed brow frowned, "Mr. Bear? Who is this? Someone would have such a name in his head, did he think he was a bear?"
The corners of the black shirt's mouth twitched slightly, and he maintained a respectful and serious expression and said, "My lord, it should be a vicious one, not a bear." ”
"Oh. Ferres nodded abruptly, and then said even more disdainfully, "This name is even worse, Mr. Bear at least has a little cute feeling, Mr. Fierce, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is not a good class, what kind of person is this? Is it an elemental craftsman? Why haven't I heard this name." ”
The black shirt smiled bitterly, "I don't know either, but that young man insisted that as long as he said the name of Mr. Murder, you would definitely see him, and that waiter was afraid that he would really meet your acquaintance, so let me report to you." ”
Ferres waved his hand impatiently and said, "I don't know any fierce gentleman, tell that waiter, if that person doesn't patronize, drive him away, and report to me any other cats and dogs." ”
The black shirt nodded slightly, and turned his head to retreat, but before he could go out, he was stopped by Ferres.
"Wait a minute. Ferres hesitated for a moment and then shook his head slightly, his expression was a little helpless, "Forget it, those elemental craftsmen are all guys who are not easy to deal with, if this fierce gentleman is really an elemental craftsman, he may still be useful in the future, you tell that waiter, first see what he needs, if there is nothing important, just promise him, but there must be a limit, hey, we still have to pay attention to harmony and wealth in business." ”
The black shirt nodded respectfully, closed the door lightly, and stepped back.
After a while, the waiter received the above reply, and walked to Lei Xiu's side with a polite smile, but he still carefully kept a certain distance, and said softly, "This guest, I'm really embarrassed, our chief manager is inseparable from something, but he explained, let me ask you what you need first, if it's not something important, our store will definitely try to meet you." ”
Lei Xiu was disappointed for a while when he heard this, but he didn't mind too much, after all, everyone has this kind of unrestrained time, so he spoke, "In this case, I want to ask you to prepare an equipment building room for me, and give me some raw materials, I want to build an elemental equipment." ”
"What?Crafting Elemental Equipment?" After the waiter finished saying this, his face became serious for the first time, and he looked at Lei Xiu again, although there was still a suspicious look in his eyes, his tone became slightly respectful, "Are you an apprentice of the elemental craftsman? Disrespectful, this shop does have a building room open to elemental craftsmen, but you need to pay for them, as for those materials, you must know how precious they are, and you can't pay for them either, you have to pay for them." ”
After Lei Xiu heard the waiter's words, his brows furrowed, and he secretly thought in his heart, "How can this be? Didn't Grandpa Roger say that I can use the materials of the Divine Thunder Tower at any time? Could it be that the person in charge of this place has changed? Or is there something else?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiu calmed down and said to the waiter with a smile on his face, "May I ask if your chief manager has just arrived, or is there another higher-level person in charge?"
The waiter's desire to call the guards to come and drive people away rose again, but the good work quality for a long time kept him in his mind, and he continued patiently, "Our chief manager has never changed, his old man has been in charge of the Shenlei Tower in Yao Sun City for more than fifty years, and even the deputy chief manager has been here for five years, this guest, you see, we still have to do business, if you don't need anything, in fact, I am very happy to serve you next time." ”
Lei Xiu nodded with a wry smile, stretched out two fingers and said, "I'm sorry, I only have the last two questions, when will the auction start? Also, can you give me a list of materials? I hope your materials here are not too expensive." ”
The waiter perked up, and said with a warm smile on his face again, "The auction will start near evening, there are about five hours left, please come with me, and I will take you to see the list of materials." ”
After following the waiter to a small living room, the waiter first poured a glass of water for Lei Xiu, and then brought in three exquisite picture albums that were one meter long and half a meter thick from outside, and put them in front of Lei Xiu, "These three books are the list of materials used by the elemental craftsmen of our store, which are more popular, and should be able to meet your needs, the first one is more suitable for the apprentices of the elemental craftsmen, the second is more suitable for guests who have just become elemental craftsmen, and the third one is more valuable, suitable for senior elemental craftsmen and even masters." ”
Lei Xiu looked at the picture depicted with colored pens in the album, which was the same as the real thing, and the origin and performance effect of the material were also noted in detail next to it, and sighed secretly in his heart, "This kind of service attitude really deserves to make money from this god Lei Lou, I just hope that its price is not too expensive." ”
It turns out that the price of materials in Shenlei Building is not too expensive, but an exaggeration of expensive, Lei Xiu started to turn the page from the third book, and his eyes lit up when he first saw the first page.
"Cold spring iron, produced in the bitter cold mountains in the north of the Bauhinia Empire, is buried under the iceberg, the texture is extremely hard, and it has a good effect on the ice elements, but the disadvantage is that the iron is brittle and lacks toughness. ”
This kind of cold spring Tie Lei Xiu heard Roger say, it is one of the materials for making ice element equipment, although it is not the top but it is also a middle and upper grade, and this metal has a kind of cold attribute, after being made into a weapon, it is not only sharp, but also causes a freezing effect after cutting the wound, and it is a weapon that really kills people without seeing blood. But when he looked down, his heart sank.
"Cold Spring Iron sells for 7,000 gold coins per kilogram. ”
After gasping for cold air, Lei Xiu secretly calculated in his heart, to create an ordinary sword-type elemental equipment, plus tempering and polishing, it would take at least about twenty kilograms of iron to make the rough embryo, that is, he would need to spend 140,000 gold coins to get a sufficient amount of cold spring iron.
With such a calculation, he almost counted out the cold sweat, and Lei Xiu hurriedly turned to the second page.
"Thunder Dragon Wood, produced in the Demon Jungle, uses trees that are still alive after at least ten lightning strikes, and takes its heart to practice, which is harder than steel, and has good extensibility, with a double bonus effect of wood and thunder, the disadvantage is that it is not resistant to fire, and the resistance to fire is slightly lower. ”
Lei Xiu's heart moved, this kind of thunder dragon wood can barely be regarded as one of the top materials, but its resistance to fire is too poor, so it will be in the same book as Cold Spring Iron, but its grade is much higher than Cold Spring Iron.
When he saw the price below, Lei Xiu slammed the entire album shut, and his heart trembled, because he saw at least four zeros, and one kilogram of thunder dragon wood could buy more than two of Messiah's restaurants.
"TMD, is this the Divine Thunder Building or the Slaughtering Building!"
