Chapter 36: I Want the Book of Azulla!
The first thing you see is a staff.
The staff is not a common style, only the length of a forearm, and is not suitable for human use at all. Theocritus picked it up and looked at it for a while before he looked up at Sean and asked suspiciously, "Is this ...... The staff used by the fish-people, right? ”
Sean nodded with a smile: "My lord is really well-informed, this is the staff used by the Prophet of Cold Light, although it is not as good as the staff of a human mage, but it is more or less a staff, I wonder if Lord Theocritus can see it?" ”
Theocritus nodded, "Although it is too small, the craftsmanship of the production is very good, and it is definitely a fine piece." Don't talk about beginner-level mages, even ordinary mid-level mages can be used. Although it is not long enough, it can be mounted on a regular staff. Master Sean, are you really going to trade it? ”
Sean smiled and nodded.
Although Seocletus was a little puzzled, why would Sean be willing to exchange such a good thing instead of using it himself. But he didn't ask more, but nodded, put down his staff, and unwrapped the other package.
In fact, there was only one thing left in the whole package, except for the staff, and it was all wrapped together.
Theocritus opened the package, saw what was inside, and took a deep breath.
And Rick, who was watching from the sidelines, almost jumped up, his little heart was pounding, and he didn't know that Sean was carrying such a valuable thing with him in the past two days! Otherwise, maybe you will take a huge risk and fight with Sean! Even if it's death......
Yes, in the entire package, dozens of catties of things, all of them were pearls! Pearls from the sea!
Theocritus narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out and picked up a pearl, rubbing it in his hand.
In this pearl, there is a faint water element, as well as a faint arcane energy. That is, these pearls are not ordinary pearls, but magical items. Even if it's just the lowest-level magic item, but there are so many pearls, there must be at least a few hundred, right?
Or even thousands?
Thousands of magic items, this value, absolutely very high, not money can be measured.
In fact, Sean didn't plan to exchange these pearls for money at all. What he wanted to exchange was what he wanted most, but he never got it.
After a long while, Seokritus finally looked up and asked, "Master Sean, what are you going to exchange?" Staffs? Robes? Jewelry? Ring? Pendant? Is it magic equipment or spellcasting material? ”
Sean smiled and said, "I'm going to exchange for the magic book." ”
Celecritus had a "sure do" expression.
In fact, he could have guessed.
How could a person who could exchange a staff that could barely be used by a mid-level mage lack ordinary magic equipment? What he needed, of course, was a magic book that was more precious than a staff and more important to a mage!
After thinking about it carefully, Seocletus said, "Master Sean, these things you took out...... It is definitely worth more than a magic book in the realm of a beginner mage. And the magic book used by the middle-level mage, not to mention that your things are not worth enough, even if they are enough, I can't exchange them for you, after all, I also need ...... This makes me embarrassed. ”
Magic books are indeed very precious magic items. Making a magic book not only requires very rare magic materials and very advanced magic attainments, but also requires a lot of time, energy, and mana. So in general, a mage will only make one magic book, and this magic book is likely to accompany the mage for the rest of his life.
It's not easy to exchange a magic book.
Fortunately, Sean won't embarrass Seocletus because he doesn't intend to exchange the real magic book.
Sean smiled, stood up, and said solemnly, "Lord Theocritus, you are mistaken. I don't want to exchange a real magic book, I want to exchange a handwritten copy of a magic book. It doesn't need to be a real magic item, just a record of all the contents of a real magic book. Of course, in this way, ordinary manuscripts may not be able to catch up with the value of my items. So, the manuscript I need, it has to be precious enough, it has to be at least ......"
"A manuscript of a high-level magic book. Or rather, ...... to be exact."
"Codex of the Book of Azulla!"
The Book of Azula!
Hearing this, Theocritus stood up suddenly, his face showing unconcealed surprise and confusion.
Although he didn't carry a staff, a strong stream of arcane energy gathered in his hands, and he could deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
He looked at Sean, his eyes flashed with an astonishing light, and he said word by word: "Master Sean, how do you know that I have the Book of Azura!" ”
Sean smiled slightly, not the slightest surprise at Theocritus' sudden frenzy.
There was no movement, and because the speculation in his heart was confirmed, Sean's mood relaxed a lot, slowly sat back in his seat, and said quietly: "Master Theocritus, you don't have to be surprised. In fact, I was just guessing, but I didn't expect that the high-level mage Azula actually left a magic book, and it really fell into your hands. ”
Sean voiced his guess.
In general, the name of the mage tower is named after the builder, or after the inhabitant. For example, Karazan, also known as the "Tower of Medivan", is because Medivan lives there.
That's why Rick says that the Tower of Azula is said to have been built by a high-ranking mage called "Azura".
The reason why Sean is more certain of this than Rick is because not only is the mage tower named after Azura, but the valuable magic item on the top of the tower is also named after Azura.
So, it's almost obvious that this mage tower was built by another mage.
Although at this point, Sean can't guess what the level of that mage is, but at least it is certain that he is at least a high-level mage.
Isn't the person who can create such a wonderful magical item as the "Eye of Azura" at least a high-level mage?
Whether Azula left a magic book or not, Sean doesn't know, this is really just speculation. If it remains, then according to the practice of mages, the book will naturally be called the "Book of Azura".
Rick mentioned that Azula had disappeared a long time ago, and that one day, Theocritus had come to the Elwyn Forest and claimed the Tower of Azula for himself.
Here's the problem.
Theocritus, why was he able to claim the Tower of Azula for himself?
You know, any mage tower will be built and inhabited, with all kinds of protective measures, carved runes, guarded puppets, and so on. A figure who is at least a high-level mage, the mage tower left behind, how tightly guarded is inside, how could Theocritus, a middle-level mage, easily take it for himself?
I'm afraid that there is still some unclear relationship between this Lord Theocritus and Azura.
Is the reason why Theocritus left Stormwind really to escape the regime of Stormwind? Or isn't it just to hide from the regime in Stormwind?
Maybe the reason why he left Stormwind and came to the Tower of Azula was to inherit the Tower of Azura?
Who can guess the truth of this?
Sean couldn't guess.
But one thing he was sure of.
Since Theocritus was able to enter the Tower of Azura, if Azura really left a magic book, then the one most likely to get the magic book was Theocretus.
This is just Sean's speculation.
Sean, too, was just a trick on him.
Unexpectedly, the speculation turned out to be true.
Theocritus actually has the Book of Azula!
