Chapter 526: Transactions, Points, Scrolls
Since it's uncertain whether Hyjal or Negusta will see the message and give instructions anytime soon, and therefore have no idea how long they will have to wait, it would be a good idea to start a trade fair.
As the owner of the salon, Mrs. Dorothy is naturally the main body and host of the fair, and the other attendees can not only buy or exchange various items from Mrs. Dorothy, but also take out things to sell at the fair, which can be described as free to buy and sell.
Because of the preparation, when Mrs. Dorothy gave the order, the necromantic puppet maid took out the prepared trading items one by one and displayed them in front of everyone, including:
High-level ghost spirit powder, 300-year-old dead sandalwood, undead prop crystal skull cane, withered dragon bone, elven virgin blood, banshee teardrops, and more.
There was even a living three-headed Infernal Dog that was imprisoned and displayed at the fair, attracting the sideways glances of several necromancers.
Then, depending on their interests and financial resources, the attendees began to bid on transactions with Mrs. Dorothy one by one. Of course, if there are multiple people who are interested in the same item, then it is simple and fair to directly use bidding to determine the final ownership.
However, compared to the active participation of others, Moriarty watched without saying a word. And such a silent expression is really in great contrast with the generous statement just now, and it has also attracted a lot of speculation from others. But the parties concerned only regarded it as unaware and let it go.
It wasn't until the main trading items were bought, and finally Mrs. Dorothy took out three hundred league points to exchange for all kinds of strange things, that Moriarty suddenly made a move, and it was a blockbuster.
"Lady Dorothy, this is a 'siphon black pearl', which is only found in the dark places, and it is rare. I wonder if I can exchange your 300 points? β
No opportunity was given to other participants to ask for a price. Moriarty directly took out the rare black pearl from the Queen of Lies, held it in the palm of his hand, and made an offer to the salon owner.
"Siphon Black Pearl!?" Seeing the black pearl that Moriarty suddenly took out, the salon owner was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but show a strong sense of joy, but asked in disbelief: "Are you sure you want to use it to exchange points?" β
"Yes."
Moriarty nodded. Then he reached out and sent the black pearl to Lady Dorothy.
Viewed from such a close distance, the "Black Beauty" is indeed beautiful. Even if there is no special light source, the surface of the pearl is constantly covered with a dark glow like a mist, which looks mysterious and noble, comparable to the finest jewelry.
But as a lover of curiosities and connoisseurs, Dorothy's owner certainly knows that in addition to its extraordinary beauty, Siphon Black Pearl also has the ability to break through the boundaries of time and space and draw the power of darkness from the void anytime and anywhere. It's simply a gift from all the dark powerhouses.
However, such a strange thing that is both beautiful and powerful is thrown out like this just in exchange for some points? Although 300 points is not a small amount, the owner of the salon still does not believe that such a "stupid person" can make such an unworthy transaction.
"Lord Davidson, are you in dire need of Alliance Points?" With great perseverance forcing herself to look away from the black pearl, Lady Dorothy looked back at Moriarty and said, "Although I myself love this lovely little thing very much, I will not advise you to trade so rashly. At least. The internal and external value of siphoning black pearls cannot be offset by just three hundred points. β
"Huh. Thank you for your candor, Mrs. Dorothy. Glancing at the salon owner who was trying to keep his calm, Moriarty laughed secretly, sure enough, as long as a woman sees her favorite jewelry, she will inevitably have a gaffe, but Cheng DΓΉ is different in size: "Indeed, I am eager for alliance points." Because I have so much necromancy and necromancy to learn, and these all cost points. But you also know that points are never enough, but they are not easy to earn. That's why I'm selling this strange thing. to transact with you. Of course, there is another point, this beautiful black pearl can only show its unique charm when it is paired with a beautiful owner, and you, just like that. β
Half-truthfully, half-flattering, Moriarty explained.
Of course, in addition to the fact that 300 points is not small, he also hopes to show favor to the owner of the salon, and has the intention of "buying horse bones with a thousand dollars". As long as you show enough sincerity and strength, it is also an effective way to use a series of loot obtained from the demon plane to slowly exchange points.
"So..."
The other party's explanation was indeed reasonable, and the words were even more beautiful, which made Lady Dorothy uncontrollable.
Unable to help but glance at the siphoning black pearl in Moriarty's palm, the salon master finally made up his mind, stretched out his slender fingers, slowly pinched the strange object, and gently rubbed it on his fingertips, and then put it away.
Then, I saw that Mrs. Dorothy also took out an Amethyst Skull Badge, aimed at Moriarty's badge and pressed it lightly, and the three hundred alliance points were transferred to the other party's name. But then, the owner of the salon took out a black spell scroll from his bag and handed it to Moriarty.
"What is this?" Moriarty took the scroll and looked at the master of the salon.
"It's a little extra gift." Lady Dorothy smiled and said, "What is included in this scroll is the third-level mutated necromancy 'Chaos Ripple', which is also an upgraded version of the second-level necromancy 'Death Ripple', and it is also the latest new spell that has only been successfully developed in the alliance. You said you had too much necromancy to learn, so you probably wouldn't refuse it. β
"Uh... This is 'out-of-order ripple'? β
Before the salon master could speak, the other attendees around him were already agitated. In particular, a few high-level necromancers looked at the spell scroll with even more fiery eyes.
Similar to the elemental arcane, for high-level mages, third-level spells are the main magic they can master, while higher-level fourth-level spells generally have to reach the extreme realm before they can really set foot in them.
And the so-called third-level mutation spell itself is a cut above ordinary spells of the same level, and it can almost be regarded as a preparatory version of the fourth-level spell, but it is within the ability of high-level magicians. Therefore, for this "out-of-order ripple", several participants have actually heard about it for a long time, and they also have their own expectations. I didn't expect to be able to suddenly see the finished product at the salon today, and I couldn't help but feel very moved. It's a pity that this spell scroll must belong to someone else. After all, people have taken out a "siphon black pearl", which is enough to make everyone lose the courage to cut off their beards.
"It's a wonderful gift, Mrs. Dorothy, and I love it."
Without pretending to be humble or prevaricating, Moriarty smiled calmly and put away the necromancy scroll.
Seeing this, Lady Dorothy also smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, if you have any items you want to exchange for, feel free to do so."
Having accidentally obtained the "Siphon Black Pearl", Mrs. Dorothy was in the right mood and moved out of the way to the rest of the attendees.
And the example of the black pearl exchanging three hundred points plus the three-level mutation spell scroll just now also stimulated everyone's hearts, so they took out some good items and displayed them directly.
"Lord Davidson, I have fifty alliance points here, and if you want, I can redeem them for you."
It seemed that Moriarty's generous gesture of exchanging points had an effect, and in a short time, a mid-level necromancer approached him.
"Of course." Naturally, Moriarty would not refuse: "So, what do you want in exchange?" β
"One thousand six hundred and fifty gold pounds or the equivalent of gold, plus a magic item, regardless of the level." The necromancer seems to have a case, and said directly.
Realistically speaking, this asking price is not excessive. According to the black market price of Dejia, if there are small points sold sporadically, it is almost the exchange rate of 33 Dejia gold pounds to one point, and it does not fluctuate much throughout the year. As for the magic prop, it is the real addition, but the other party said that there is no limit to the level of the prop, which means that he is not greedy, but just wants to make a proper profit.
After thinking about it for a moment, Moriarty directly took out about 1,700 gold pounds worth of gold, as well as a "+1 sharp attribute" magic dagger that did not have any regional characteristics or racial styles, and handed them to the other party together.
Taking the nuggets and daggers, the Necromancer examined them briefly, put them all away, and then gave fifty points to Moriarty. As a result, the deal was concluded smoothly, and everyone was happy.
"Lord Davidson, although I don't have any extra points, I do have a second-level necromancy scroll, I don't know if you are interested."
After another moment, another high-level necromancer approached Moriarty, took out a spell scroll, and generously handed it to the other party.
"Level 2 Necromancy?" Glancing at the necromancer, Moriarty took the scroll and examined it closely.
"Sealed inside this scroll is 'Flesh Extraction', a second-level necromancy that combines 'physical damage' and 'forced necromancy', which is a standard strong-fighting spell. However, because it has been interpreted many times, the spell structure preserved in the scroll is no longer stable, and it may disintegrate after two or three more uses. β
Without waiting for Moriarty to ask, the necromancer took the initiative to explain and explain some of the scroll's bad problems. Of course, this is also because the other party is also a high-level legal officer, and no one wants to make a small transaction and make a bad relationship with the other party.
"That's right..."
After listening to the other party's statement, Moriarty nodded, but he didn't care.
Anyway, there is a crystal book, even if the scroll can only be interpreted again, you can also reproduce the second-level necromancy in it.
"How much does it cost?" Moriarty tapped the scroll lightly and looked at the seller.
"How about exempting the points, according to the market price of the Alliance's second-level necromancy, four hundred and fifty gold pounds?" Because it was a defective product, and he knew that the other party lacked points, the necromancer also quoted a rather clever price.
"Yes."
Without any counter-offer, Moriarty immediately took out the gold bars and paid them to the seller, while putting away the spell scrolls.
On the side, seeing that Moriarty had completed two good transactions in a row, Mrs. Dorothy also smiled and nodded slightly.
But in the next moment, the smile of the salon owner paused again. (To be continued......)
