Chapter Ninety-Seven: Three Thousand Gold for a Rod

When Vincent reached the entrance of the garden, he sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Miss Adele's eyes were a little red, and there was a girl standing beside her, looking a little raw. Judging by her dress in a short robe and trousers, she should be a student of Nilogaard, and she is likely to be Adele's friend Hill.

Hill's face was cold, and a pair of eyes swept over Vincent's body, as if with an icy coldness, and Vincent was a little uncomfortable when he saw it.

Taking a few steps closer, Vincent leaned over and saluted, "It's an honor to meet you, Lady Adele." ”

With that, he nodded to Ciel again.

'Hmph~' Ciel tilted his head away.

Adele's attitude was fine, she smiled and asked, "Vincent, did you bring me a wand?" ”

"Of course."

Vincent took out the ebony box he was holding in his arms, held it in both hands, and carefully placed it on the stone table: "Miss Adele, the wand is in the box." ”

Hill quietly turned her head to look over, and saw that the surface of the ebony box was very decorated with all kinds of gemstones, including crystals, jadeite, and ruby sapphires, she snorted coldly: "The box is exquisite, these gems cost a lot of money, right?" ”

Vincent clearly sensed Ciel's hostility, he was not stupid, and after a little thought, he probably guessed the reason, he was probably taken by this girl as a liar.

Naturally, he didn't go back to Ciel, and said with a smile: "An excellent wand naturally has to have a decent box." ”

"Wand? You're a merchant who deserves to sell wands?! Hill couldn't help it anymore and spoke sarcastically.

Vincent still smiled: "It's true that I'm a merchant, but this wand wasn't made by me, but the work of a hidden alchemist, and I just sold it on my behalf." Miss Adele, why don't we find a place to test the power of this wand? ”

The reason why he is called the master of hidden alchemy is because of Rosen's instructions. Rosen's consideration was that he was too young and not famous, and it would be difficult for things to sell for a high price. Vincent couldn't agree more.

"Yes, yes. Is it right here? "Adele can't wait.

Vincent looked embarrassed: "Miss Adele." The master alchemist told me that it was very difficult to forge this wand, so the magic solidified in the wand was not offensive magic, but a soft light technique. You know, soft light is something that you can't see very clearly under the sun. ”

"Soft Light Technique...... Ha ha. Hill couldn't help but laugh, she turned to Adele and said, "Did you hear that?" Vincent had no magical knowledge at all. I think he must have thought it was easy to perform a soft light technique. ”

In fact, offensive magic is easy to use for magicians, and powerful attack magic like flash magic is a must-have when you're away from home. However, when it comes to the difficulty of casting, the soft light technique is ten times more difficult than the former.

On the magic sheet of Nilogaard Academy, the Soft Light Technique is designated as a three-star magic, while the Flash Technique is only a one-star magic.

It's easy to see why, as soft light is a form of fire magic. The power of flame is violent, unrestrained, and naturally aggressive, while the soft light technique requires the mage to confine the power of the flame to a very small range, and also to increase the temperature of the flame as much as possible, which requires very high spell casting skills.

Adele was also a little embarrassed, but Vincent was her sweetheart, and she really didn't want to believe that the other party was lying to her, so after thinking about it, she said, "Then go to the hall, I'll ask the servants to close the curtains." ”

"As you wish." Vincent nodded in agreement.

"Very good." Hill didn't have an opinion either, she waited to see Vincent's jokes.

Soon, the three of them came from the garden to the hall of the Earl's Court, where several maids closed all the curtains, and the doors were closed so that there was not a single crevice, and the hall was as dark as night.

In order to get a glimpse of what's in the hall, Adele had to ask the maid to light a candlestick.

When everything was ready, Vincent opened the ebony box, carefully took out his wand, and held it to Adele with both hands: "Please." ”

Adele cried out in surprise, "Is this my wand?" It's beautiful. ”

Even if this wand can't cast spells, just this appearance, this exquisite craftsmanship is enough to make Adele like it. Hill on the side also saw it, and she reminded lightly: "It's good to work on the appearance, but don't forget, it's a magic wand!" ”

Adele turned to Vincent and asked, "How should I use it?" ”

Vincent pointed to the position of the handle and smiled: "Look here, this is the grip, yes, this is it, hold it firm?" ”

"Hold it on."

"Now, hold it hard!"

Adele took a deep breath, her palm pressed slightly, and she vaguely felt the handle of her wand sink slightly inside, and at the same time, the milky white crystal on the top of the wand began to shine.

A moment ago, there was only the dancing candlelight in the hall, dim and flickering, which made people very uncomfortable to the eyes.

The next moment, the hall was filled with milky white light, and everything and all corners were illuminated clearly, and under this light, the candle fire was almost invisible.

"It's so bright!" Adele's eyes were fixed on the milky white crystal at the tip of her wand, looking incredulous.

"This ...... This ......." Apprentice Wizard Hill couldn't help but raise his hand to block out the light, but couldn't help but look through his fingers to observe the wand.

Vincent had expected this result early on, because not so long ago, he had experienced the same shock.

It took a while for Adele to come to her senses, but she was still holding her wand tightly. She turned her head to look at Vincent, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Thank you, Vincent, thank you for bringing me such a powerful wand." ”

Since she was a child, she has dreamed of one day when she will be able to unleash her magic. To this end, she joins the Squirrel Society, doing everything she can to learn and understand magic, but as she continues to learn about magic, she feels that she is getting farther and farther away from it.

She was almost desperate and ready to accept her fate, but she didn't expect that at this time, her sweetheart would bring her such a magical wand.

She wept with joy.

"I'm honored." Vincent said softly. He knew that the business was done.

Adele wiped away her tears and asked, "Does this wand have a name?" ”

"The alchemist who gave me the wand called it the Glitter Wand, but now, it's yours, so you can give it a new name."

"A new name?" Adele thought for a moment and said, "When it lights up, it's like the moon rising." I'll call it the Moon Wand. ”

After saying that, she turned her head to look at her friend again: "Ciel, look, Vincent won't lie to me!" ”

Ciel moved his lips, looked at Adele's bright wand again, and finally sighed: "The world of magic is unfathomable, and I am too short-sighted. ”

Adele was in a good mood: "Haha, in fact, you are much better than me, and you will definitely be even more powerful in the future." ”

She turned her head to look at Vincent again: "How much does it cost to have such a powerful wand?" ”

Vincent was silent for a moment, then stopped.

"Is it expensive?" Adele immediately asked, and then, she actually found a reason for Vincent: "My Moon Wand is so beautiful, and it can also release three-star magic soft light, it must have used many, many precious materials." Expensive is normal. ”

She said to Hill again: "Three-star wand, how much does the academy usually sell for?" ”

"At least 1,000 gold dragon coins, but those are magician-specific wands, and ordinary people can't use them. You wand...... It's beyond my knowledge. ”

Vincent spoke at the right time: "Adele, in fact, the soft light technique on the wand is more stable and safer than the soft light technique released by the magician. ”

"Hmm, what do you say?" Adele was more and more pleasantly surprised.

"It's windproof, it won't burn your hands, and you can even put the crystal into the water, and it won't go out."

"How can fire magic be unleashed in the water?" Hill was dumbfounded.

Adele was only 23 years old, and she was overjoyed to suddenly get such a powerful wand, and when she heard that there were so many functions, she immediately began to experiment.

The results are naturally fulfilled one by one.

Ciel was completely blown away by the wand: "Incredible! It's incredible! Vincent, can you tell me the name of that master alchemist? I wish I could have visited him in person! ”

Vincent shrugged his shoulders: "I'm sorry, but that alchemist doesn't want to be disturbed. ”

"Oh, that's a shame." Hill's face was full of pity, and she turned to Adele and said, "My friend, please forgive me for my ignorance. The wisdom contained in this wand is far beyond the limits of my abilities, and I cannot make any valuable evaluation of it. The only thing I can do is congratulate you. ”

Adele let out a long sigh of satisfaction, she let go of her hand, and the soft light technique disappeared, she reached out and gently stroked the smooth body of the wand, and whispered, "This is a priceless treasure, and it is not too much to give." Vincent, you make an offer. ”

This is clearly to make Vincent the Lion open his mouth.

The merchant Wencent still had a little conscience, and he stretched out three fingers: "Three thousand gold dragon coins." ”

Hill was secretly speechless, but she had nothing to say, in fact, if she had the money, she would have bought it.

"Very fair price!" Adele nodded in approval.

Vincent listened, and his heart sweated, he remembered clearly, Lawson told him that the wand cost was 500 gold dragon coins.

But after thinking about it, he was relieved again: "The cost only counts the material, but it does not contain the wisdom in it." This one-of-a-kind wand is worth the price. ’

After a moment of silence, he continued, "Miss Adele, since you are willing to buy this wand. Then I'll have to tell you a little bit about how to use this wand. ”

"You say." Adele is already in love with wands.

"First of all, if you hold it tightly, the mana stored in the wand can last for half a day, after which the soft light will be disabled."

"Hmm~ It can last for half a day?" Adele looked at Ciel, waiting for her opinion.

Hill has been completely convinced: "General soft light technique, at most half a cup of tea." It's a miracle that this wand lasts for half a day! ”

Adair grew more and more satisfied.

Vincent added, "The master alchemist also said that if the mana runs out and you want to continue using the Moon Wand, he can replenish the mana for the wand. The first three mana replenishments are free, and after the third one, one mana replenishment will cost you 50 dragon coins. In addition, crystals also have a lifespan, and if you activate the soft light technique at once, it can last for about half a month. If the crystal is damaged, he will also replace it for you for free, and then if it is replaced with a new one, a 200 gold dragon coin. ”

Adele was overjoyed: "Hmm~ This alchemy master is so generous!" ”

"Finally, the alchemist said that if you want to use other types of magic, you can just ask for it, and he will do his best to find a way to make it happen."

Hearing this, Adele's heart was overjoyed, and she exclaimed loudly: "Ah, this alchemist must have unparalleled wisdom. ”

This time, Hill made no objections.

What she wanted most now was to return to the academy immediately and bring the news of the Moon Wand and the Alchemist to her mentor.
