Chapter 401: Divine Breath
When the old man saw that Zhao Xu had paid back a price, he nodded silently.
The rules of this line are that there is no way to buy it if you don't make a counteroffer.
This already means that his business today is seventy or eighty percent complete.
The old man rolled his eyes slightly, "If you do this, I will lose my old capital." So, when I open for the first time today, 90, you can take it. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xu could only grin.
A group of underground forces that raised funds to do business without capital and ate from the ground actually told him that they would lose money?
"Eighty, a fixed price." Zhao Xu was adamant.
At this time, the old man also saw the firmness in his eyes, and just gently put down the other book in his hand and said, "Deal." ”
Zhao Xu also took out eight platinum coins directly from his pocket and lined them up one by one on the wooden table that had almost lost the lacquer.
The old man glanced at it, but didn't step forward to clean it up, "Then you can take that magic book." At three o'clock in the morning tonight, when you come to my door, you can only come with the two of you at most, and you can't bring more. ”
"Okay."
Zhao Xu agreed heartily, and at the same time, he put the magic book in his pocket with a copy of his hand, and then walked towards the somewhat dilapidated door.
"That's right."
Suddenly, the old man drank the two of them again, and at this time, Zhao Xu was about to step out of the threshold, but he hadn't completely walked out.
"Although you should know, I still reiterate the rules of this industry with you, once the goods go out, they will not be returned or exchanged."
"It's nature."
After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.
"If this book is fake, we can't settle accounts with him?"
As a paladin, Vivien was a little incomprehensible about the non-returnability.
"This line of business is this kind of rule-breaking, and if you see it as a fake, you can only pay your own tuition."
"I think the demons must love this way of trading." Vivien replied.
"That's mainly because others don't dare to turn around and trouble the demons."
"If you find a fake return, that's still the lightest. The rest are broken and returned, or even counterfeited and returned the fake ones. Zhao Xu explained the reason for the formation of this rule.
"And what do you do with this book, sir?"
Vivian and Zhao Xu were walking on the side of the alley at this time, and the arcade above hid the early morning sun in winter.
"It's just a very ordinary magic notebook."
"It records an immature experimental idea of a four-ring mage, and according to the practice of Master Druan seven hundred years ago, the stone skin technique has rejected this kind of idea." Zhao Xu explained.
Stone Skin is a spell that costs 250 gold coins and can absorb hundreds of damage, which is a famous life-saving spell in the Mage's Four Rings.
Although the foundation of magic has become stronger, many mages can only do the work of tinkering with the corners.
But it is itself based on a self-consistent logic, or rather, the civilization of magic is always improving.
This is also the reason why some ancient magic handwriting is uneven, and they themselves can be preserved and handed down, all of which have been naturally screened.
The vast majority of useless ones cannot be preserved at all, and have long been abandoned or even burned.
Even if they were handed down, those magic notebooks could easily just record some kind of false spell conjecture, which would greatly reduce the meaning of being an antique.
Unless it's a notebook such as the one that recorded the final spell structure after the legendary Demon Duncan invented the "Spell Splitting", it is because of its historical significance, it is not surprising to sell for tens of millions of gold coins.
Including the book "Arcane Road" written by Antinoa herself, it is even more incalculable.
At this time, Vivien couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, "Doesn't this mean that this notebook has to be greatly discounted?" ”
"What do you think, otherwise how could we have traded for eighty gold coins?" Zhao Xu smiled, "But we definitely can't lose, the paper used in this book is exquisite, and after copying the magic, it automatically has a special mysterious magic." ”
"So it can be used as a broken version of a spell book, and it will definitely work if you sell it for 200 gold."
This is the reason why Zhao Xu takes a fancy to this magic book.
He was not interested in the artistic value of the arcane script or its place in the history of magical civilization.
It is completely based on the actual value after dismantling.
Others thought he wanted to buy the real but worthless beads that were just good-looking, but in fact, he was buying the box where the beads were stored in high price.
And at this moment, in the magic material store, the old man who was still dying and old immediately stood up.
He pulled out the booklet in his pocket and began to describe in detail the ins and outs of the two men, as well as the entire transaction history as an archive.
The black market can survive in the alliance for a hundred years, and naturally it has its own reason for survival.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his mouth, "My eyes are not bad, I jumped to the real magic books, the question is where can the truly valuable magic books be reduced to selling them to me." Anyway, that book can still be sold for fifty gold coins as a used item, and even if you meet someone you like, seventy or eighty gold coins can also be sold, so you can pass the test. ”
--------
In the wee hours of the morning, the entire street was empty, and even though the Northern Alliance was one of the few forces that did not set up curfews at night, there was still no one staying at the moment.
By the time they had stalked through the shadows and finally reached the magic material shop they had agreed upon during the day, they found that a carriage had stopped there.
"It tastes weird," Vivien complained, as she was accustomed to the burning and bitter smell of garbage burning in the abyss.
It was the first time I had smelled the smell of garbage from a horse-drawn carriage.
"It was transport-related before, otherwise it would have been obvious that a carriage would have been swaying on the road in the middle of the night." As he spoke, Zhao Xu pulled the curtain and sat in the carriage.
"And we're leaving?" The groom who was driving asked after seeing that the two had a slight disagreement and then reached a tacit understanding.
"Yes." Zhao Xu responded.
Next, Zhao Xu found that the carriage driver deliberately took them around a few times before driving in the right direction to the right route.
This kind of blinding method naturally has no meaning to the two of them as mages.
It wasn't until more than twenty minutes later that Zhao Xu noticed that the carriage had slowed down, and then when he got off again, he found that he had entered some kind of place similar to a warehouse.
There were also more than a dozen carriages parked on the side, and it was obviously not just them.
"My name is Salazie, and I am your guide from now on, and any transaction you make will go through me." The young coachman, who was less than thirty years old, said.
Immediately, he led the two to the corner of the warehouse, where the cover of the ground had been opened, revealing a brightly lit underground corridor.
Zhao Xu nodded secretly, to say that a large space was excavated under the town of Zhenyu City, and the town manager didn't know, it would be too fake.
It completely shows that this line of work can be regarded as a government-private partnership.
Next, Zhao Xu and Vivian also followed the guide assigned to the two of them and walked underground.
No one could have imagined that in what should have been the city's sewers, there was a huge black market for magical items and antiques secretly hidden.
The air in the underground corridor is not turbid and has good ventilation.
Zhao Xu was thinking about how he needed to break through once a battle broke out.
"First of all, I have to remind you of one thing, which is that all the 'objects' here that claim to be 'magical items' have been identified as capable of emitting magical aura. Unless it is damaged and cannot be distributed, it will alert you on the spot. Salazie said.
Zhao Xu's expression was slightly dark.
In this way, I am afraid that the magic items in this underground are all of a grade in themselves.
However, most of the magic items that can normally emit magical aura are actually sold at a clearly marked price after being identified by the appraisal technique.
Except for a few who deliberately did tricks, forged magic aura and even made alienations for identification, there are these, but not many.
Buying these also loses the fun of "Taobao", and it is more of a simple purchase.
What is even more challenging are those "magic items" that have lost some of their effectiveness because of the long years, even if they detect magic aura, they are always ineffective.
And this kind of magic item is also the most sophisticated buyer's eye.
Suddenly.
Vivien's steps froze.
With a hint of wanting to say goodbye, she looked at Zhao Xu slightly, and then turned on her telepathic ability and communicated with him.
"President, I just received a 'message' from Ms. May."
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect Vivian and the other party to still maintain this level of contact, and even spread the sound for thousands of miles.
"The general content of the 'Manifestation' is that the hundred-year-old seal of the 'Divine Breath' has been touched, and the executor of the evil ritual is about to descend it from the sky in a few hours."
"What Ms. May means is that if we are interested, we can gaze at the sky at dawn, wait for disaster to strike, and then go to the local area to find an opportunity for fate."
"At that time, meteors will fall from the sky, and if they destroy everything, it will also bring new opportunities."
Divine Breath!
This Zhao Xu only joked before yesterday that he remembered that five years after Zhenyu City, that major disaster event resounded throughout the alliance and even the surrounding countries!
The meteor that fell that day was actually advanced to tomorrow?
In an instant, Zhao Xu's mind flashed back to the picture of himself attacking the mysterious lair and getting the brass treasure chest.
It's also an evil ritual there, so could it have something to do with it?
At this moment, Zhao Xu's mind was clear.
According to May, the Divine Breath, a mysterious artifact comparable to an artifact, is probably sealed in the sky.
If his conjecture was correct, the evil ritual was the way to obtain the Divine Breath.
It's just that.
Destroyed by him.
Perhaps in the previous life, it was also destroyed, the difference is only that the time node is five years later.
Then the master of the ritual, having lost his way to ascend to heaven, fell into the earth, intending to obtain it by another means.
On the one hand, the adventurers who rushed to hear the news were the enemies of the mastermind behind the scenes.
On the one hand, they are also free cannon fodder to rush ahead and level the traps.
It's just that time is running out of the cracks.
Even according to Vivien, it happened shortly after dawn.
An artifact that surpasses the artifact, Lux himself can't show himself too much before Zhao Xu's peak.
Therefore, the "Divine Breath", another legendary artifact that is extremely mysterious and said to be able to reverse the effect of the area, must be able to greatly supplement his strength.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu's gaze became resolute.
He glanced directly at the item and equipment slots in his character card panel.
Limited Equipment Slots –

Eyes: Trap Goggles (Magic Detection Spell Recognition, 1500 gold)

Suppression Skin (Minimal damage, 10,000 gold)
Automatic Writing Quill (Auto-Transcription Scroll, 1750 Gold)
Howard Amenity Bag (Space Backpack, 7500 Gold Coins)
Zhao Xu glanced at it, and before he knew it, there were a total of 14 pieces of equipment on his body, which were worth as much as 1.86 million gold coins.
Although the bulk of it was 1.5 million necromancy scepters and 170,000 high-level instantaneous scepters, the rest of the money he actually fished out from Antinoya was about 200,000 gold coins.
But to be honest, when the nine-ring mage Frank gave him his staff, he was only in his thirties, and it stands to reason that he had to pay about a six-fold million gold coins, and it was Zhao Xu who relied on the Death Godhead fragment to recharge, so it was restored to the original price of 50 rounds of 150 gold coins.
It is equivalent to the Death Godhead fragment that charged him with at least 500,000 gold coins.
But Zhao Xu still noticed very clearly at this moment that his inner body, outer body, hands, arms, and fingers were still empty.
If he makes up his mind, he will intervene in the battle for the "Divine Breath" that suddenly erupts.
Then he may have to hurry up and buy these magic [ www.biqugew.xyz] magic items tonight, and complete the breakthrough from 0 to 1 first.
In his previous life, he was not in the Northern Alliance when the outbreak occurred, so the news that the meteor falling was actually a divine breath was only heard later.
And now, with the mastermind behind the scenes wanting to get the divine breath that has been sealed, it means that this news cannot be concealed at all.
Even though Lady May was thousands of miles away, she realized that the Divine Breath had changed, and told them in advance that she could cut off her beard.
I'm afraid there are not a few other forces who want to intervene.
Zhao Xu suddenly made up his mind.
Tonight, he had to make a big purchase, before the new wave of magic item price increases after the appearance of the Divine Breath, and get the first to buy the few magic items that were missing for himself.
"Take me straight to the most expensive place." Zhao Xu commanded.
