Soon, the girl brought the goods that Lothar needed.

"Sir, it's 136 gold and 33 silver. You pay 136 gold and you're good to go. ”

Lota silently lined up the coins on the counter. This money is enough for an ordinary person to buy a large farm, hire dozens of tenant farmers, and live comfortably for a lifetime. But for the mage, it's just a drizzle. The output of a barony is only enough for ten first-ring mages or two three-ring mages.

"Is there anything else you need, sir?" Seeing that Lothar was not in a hurry to leave, the girl asked again.

"I'd like to ask," said Lothar, pointing to the gate, "how much that dragon's roar carpet is." ”

"Sir, that's the decoration of our store, it's not for sale."

"I'm very interested in that rug, can you be accommodating?"

Seeing Lothar's insistence, the girl had no choice but to say, "I'm just a small salesman, I can't call the shots, please wait." ”

The girl left the counter and headed upstairs.

Lothar took advantage of the gap to look around, and found a glass wall standing on one side of the hall, separating a potion mixing workshop, and more than a dozen pharmacists were busy on the operating table, mixing bottles of magic potions of different colors.

If you need it, you can buy magic materials in the shop and ask the apothecary to make the desired potion directly.

He walked over and took a closer look at the dispenser inside the glass wall.

Rough machining.

Separate.

Dissolve.

Extraction.

Deployment.

Finally, inject the right amount of mana to make a potion.

A pair of expert dispenser's hands operate smoothly in front of the workbench, which is like a beautiful dance accompanied by rhythm.

Lothar memorized the processes, movements, and even all the details of these dispensers.

"You can gain +1 for your drug dispensing skills through on-the-spot observation."

"You can gain +1 for your drug dispensing skills through on-the-spot observation."

……

This prompt sounded a total of five times.

Lothar is not surprised. Observation and learning in games is an effective way to improve your skills, but the skills you can gain in this way are very limited. If you just look at it and don't do it, you can't become a master in a certain field.

Woking's Crying Apothecaries are all expert-level players, and Lothar can earn up to 5 skills by observing their work.

"It's a pity that I am now facing the pursuit of the Moon Scepter Family, otherwise I would be willing to take the time to learn the creation alchemy skills, which will be of great benefit to my future development."

Lothar opens her own list of skills. Among the four major creation alchemy skills, only the medicine blending skill has 5 points, and the others are all zero. This made him quite helpless.

Not long after, the girl led a well-dressed man to Lothar's side.

"Sir, this is the owner of our shop, you can talk to him in detail."

Woking's crying owner is a half-elf, and it is impossible to tell the exact age. His complexion was bronzed, his eyes were sharp, and he was full of exuberant vitality.

"Your mental power is one of the best among trainee mages. There is such an achievement at this age, and the future is great, young man. The half-elf held out his hand, "I'm Ivar, a copper-smelling, unbusinessman. ”

Lothar shook his hand: "I'm Lothar. ”

Although Ivar claimed to be a merchant, Lothar knew that the boss was a very powerful mage. Because the other party can perceive his own mental power level, but Lothar can't see through this Ivar at all.

However, even if the other party is a legendary mage, it does not prevent Lothar from doing business with him.

"I heard you'd like to buy that Dragonroar rug? It's not very useful, but it's rare, and Freiro is unique. Do you have any reason? ”

"There's no particular reason, just like it."

"Hahahaha...... Ivar laughed heartily, "funny young man." Well, Mr. Lothar, you can take that Dragonroar carpet for 300 gold. I bought it from the Star Sea merchant for 400 gold coins. Counting depreciation, this price should be reasonable. ”

"Fair enough." Lothar held out her hand and shook Ivar's hand, indicating that the deal was finalized.

"Mr. Lothar, how about you go upstairs and rest for a while before you get that dragon roar carpet? I have a little thing that you might be able to help with. ”

The "little things" in the mouth of a strong ** teacher will definitely not be so simple.

In the parlor on the second floor, Lothar learns what happened.

Recently, there have been many reports that there are traces of a white deer in the white lake woodland north of Green Thorn City, and every night on the shore of the white lake, there is a strange thick fog, which makes people disorient and have no way out.

The Adventure Guild in Green Thorn City believes that White Hart is somehow connected to the Mist, and has issued a quest that will reward anyone who can figure out the event.

Among the rewards offered by the Adventurers' Guild was a fragment of a stone tablet left over from the classical era, which Ivar desperately wanted.

"So, you mean to let me complete the quest of the Adventurer's Guild, find out the mysterious events in the White Lake Woodland, and then get the slate fragments rewarded by the guild, and then give them to you?"

"Yes, that's what it means." Ivar clapped his hands and said, "Of course, I'll pay you accordingly." What I offer should be much stronger than a slate that only has research value and no utility. ”

Ivar snapped his fingers. A meticulously dressed middle-aged attendant walked in with a plate.

On the plate were a spell book, a necklace, and a pipe.

Necklaces and pipes are both magical items with obvious fluctuations in magical power, but Ivar does not specify their specific functions. Lothar fixed her gaze on the spell book. It contains a three-element zero-ring spell: the Forbidden Orb.

"Sure enough......" Ivar noticed that Lothar's gaze lingered on the spell book for a few more moments, and his mind was determined.

The apprentice mage phase can only learn three Zero Ring spells. In order to master as many elements as possible and lay a solid foundation for the future, Lothar certainly doesn't choose those single-element spells to learn. At the very least, it has to be a two-element spell to be worth learning.

However, there is no market demand for multi-element zero-ring spells, so it is difficult to buy them on the market. When Lothar saw the forbidden orb spell book, she decided to take Ivar's commission.

But there are some things that you still have to ask clearly.

"Why me? There are many mages in Green Thorn City who are stronger than me. I'm just a beginner apprentice. What's more, Mr. Ivar, you are a strong mage yourself. ”

"It's not easy to deal with Bailu." Ivar smiled wryly.

The white deer is a spirit of nature born by the force of nature in a pure, peaceful and vibrant forest area, and is not an ordinary animal. Legend has it that this beautiful creature brings good luck to those it recognizes. However, it is not easy to get the approval of Bailu.

"I've tried, but when Bailu saw me, he immediately ran away and disappeared without a trace. Many mages in Green Thorn City have also tried, but none of them have been able to gain the approval of White Deer. Therefore, to investigate the matter of the White Lake Woodland, it takes not only strength, but more importantly, luck and wisdom. ”

The white deer in the forest is no stranger to this creature, and in the game, the "white deer is alive" as a random event in the wild, which has brought many surprises to players. After continuous exploration, players have summed up a complete set of plans on how to get Bailu's approval.

That's why Lothar agreed to Ivar so simply.

After the two parties signed the deed of entrustment, Lothar left Woking crying with the goods she had purchased.

The middle-aged attendant looked at Ivar puzzled: "Master, why do you value that young man so much?" The reward you've offered him is enough to hire a team of experienced and powerful adventurers. ”

"I can't say why, because it involves a tinder oath. However, I can tell you that this young man is very likely to have something to do with the White Tower. ”

"The White Tower is above, and the truth is supreme." The attendant's face was solemn.

……

Lothar returned to his place at the Prancing Horse Inn. However, to his surprise, the tavern on the first floor was not as noisy and lively as before, and in the hall where the smell of bad wine mixed with sweat was wafting with the sparse sound of mandolins, and the hoarse singing with desolation.

All the guests set their eyes on a bard standing at a wooden table.

Lothar was shocked when she heard the lyrics.

On the first night, the silver moon was stained with blood, and the dead walked on the earth.

On the second night, meteors descended, and power and curse grew on earth.

On the fourth night, the sea of stars rolled, the laws collided, and the flames of war were smoky.

On the fourth night, the earth was blazing, and the flames of the past burned up all things.

On the fifth night, the heavens shattered, and the dragon's roar swept across the earth like rolling thunder.

The bard's poem was long, but there were five passages that Lothar remembered vividly, recalling the bloody experiences of the game.

The calendars of the continents of the Adren universe are not universal. After Lothar crossed over, it was not clear what period he was in. But when he heard the bard's ballad, he finally realized what a point in time he was in.

Although the continents of the Adren universe are inconvenient to communicate with each other, they are relatively independent. But there are still some big events that affect the situation in the entire Adren universe.

The "Long Poem of Calamity", which appeared on various continents at the same time, is one of them.

The author of this long poem is unknown, and it depicts a future world that is hopeless in the midst of disaster and doom.

Five nights and five plagues, after which darkness will come.

Two months after the appearance of the Long Poem of Calamity, the first calamity struck the world.

"In the game, after the first night, the scourge of the dead, I died a total of eight times. And at that time, I was a five-ring mage, and my real name was condensed, and my strength was much stronger than now. There is so little time left for me. ”

Lothar thought that the biggest threat she was facing now was the Moonscepter family, who were determined to win the Legendary Orb. But now it seems that the real difficulties are still to come.
