Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Soul Inspector
Kenegi couldn't believe it, and before the five minutes had arrived, Wren refused.
With his wealth and status, in fact, he rarely comes forward to recruit newcomers to join the mechanical union.
Today is indeed just a coincidence, he heard a friend near the Violet House talk about Wren's soul test, talent is rare in a few years, so he suddenly moved his heart to love talent, and he did not hesitate to put down what he was doing and rushed over immediately.
Moreover, the conditions he offered were much higher than those of ordinary mechanics, and he thought that he would be able to catch it, but he didn't expect to be rejected.
Kenegi suddenly smiled and said, "Rennes, if you feel that these conditions are not enough, we can talk about it again, there is no need to make a decision in such a hurry." ”
He thought that Wren was retreating and wanted to ask for higher treatment.
Wren shook his head, "Mr. Keneji, I'm not bargaining with you. The conditions you have offered are already very good, and as a young man from a civilian background, I can't ask for more. ”
"House, wealth, status, I want it all, and I believe that a mechanic can bring me all this and get me into the upper class. ”
"I'm personally interested in mechanical technology and have a little bit of my own experience. ”
"Mechanics are a great and extraordinary profession, stronger than most professions, and have a lot of prospects. ”
"To be honest, I would love to be a mechanic myself. ”
"However, there is a fatal flaw in the mechanic. ”
Wren was very honest about his opinion of the mechanic, and Kenegi listened carefully, but his expression was not very good, and when he heard the last sentence, he subconsciously asked, "What are the shortcomings?"
"It's not a wizard. Wren said calmly.
Kenegi was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Wren meant, and this reason left him speechless.
All the benefits that mechanics have, wizards also have.
In terms of status, this is the Orion Empire, and the supreme rulers are a group of Holy Soul wizards.
In terms of strength, wizards are definitely stronger than mechanics at low levels, and even if the strength of mechanics skyrockets in the later stage, it is only possible to be on an equal footing with wizards, and they may not be able to beat wizards.
In terms of wealth, this is the biggest advantage of the mechanic, but wizards are not bad in this regard, and there are also many opportunities to make money.
For a young man who aspires to be more powerful, wizards are much more attractive than mechanics.
Keneji remembered that when he was young, he also wanted to become a wizard, but his talent was not the top, and he couldn't withstand the temptation of the conditions offered by the mechanical union, so he embarked on the path of a mechanic.
In the dead of night, he had also made assumptions about what he would be like now if he had become a wizard.
He didn't know the answer.
But the young man in front of him knew that because he knew very well what he wanted, he would refuse so decisively.
Keneji's face was very complicated, and he was silent for a few seconds before he let out a sigh and said, "Well, it seems that you have indeed thought it through, and I will not force it. However, if you reject me today, even if you want to regret it in the future, you will not have such a good opportunity and conditions. ”
"I understand, thank you, Mr. Kenegie, for sending me here. ”
Wren opened the door and got out of the car without hesitation, stood on the side of the road and waved goodbye to each other.
Before the car started, Keneji suddenly rolled down the window and said, "Put away my business card, if you encounter difficulties in the future, come to me with it, maybe I can help you once." ”
As soon as the words fell, the car sped up and left.
Wren carefully looked at the bronzing business card in his hand, thinking that the cost of this business card was not cheap, of course he would not throw it away at will, nodded and put it in his pocket to put it away.
Turning his head to look around, a huge demon soul market was right in front of him.
Located in the southern part of the Silver Star District, the Demon Soul Market occupies most of the street, and from time to time an indiscernible roar comes from a corner of the street, and a foul smell wafts from the ditch on the side of the road.
Wren rubbed his nose, a little uncomfortable.
The smell had a strong smell of blood in it, reminding him of a slaughterhouse.
He didn't forget that he still had the mark of strife on his body, and he didn't dare to run around, so as not to run into Loshi's disciples, who wanted to go back to the apartment just now, but didn't want Kenegi to know the address, so he temporarily changed his words to the Demon Soul Market.
Wren thought about it and decided to take a stroll around the Demon Soul Market, he would not be so unlucky, and he met the evil god believer when he went out for the first time.
"It's all here, and it's okay to go back so early. ”
The Demon Soul Market is a huge canopy, more than ten meters high, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, the ground is divided into neat shops, people walk between the shops, watch the goods sold at will, the overall layout is similar to the flower and bird market in the previous life.
The only difference is that instead of ornamental flowers, plants, fish and birds, they are sold here, but all kinds of strange creatures!
As soon as Wren walked into the market, the first thing he saw was the large iron cage in front of him.
The large iron cage was six or seven meters high, made of arm-thick steel bars, and a large snake was held inside. Its snake body is thicker than an adult's waist, covered with delicate dark green scales, wrapped around the central pillar of the iron cage, coiled more than a dozen times, estimated to be more than twelve meters long, extremely amazing.
However, the most striking thing is that on the upper part of the snake's body, there is a pair of wide wings.
"Feathered Serpent!"
Wren had seen an introduction to this creature in a book.
The wings of this feathered serpent would have been more than ten meters if it had been spread out at full strength, but it was forced to curl up in a cramped iron cage, which made it very uncomfortable.
At its neck, a thick steel cable passed through it, tying it to a center column weighing several tons, from which it could not escape. From time to time, it spat out snake letters, spewing translucent wind blades into the crowd of onlookers outside the iron cage, leaving white marks on the steel bars.
"Hiss ......"
Wren opened the Soul Eye and observed the Feathered Serpent.
Feathered Serpent is a magical beast that is not uncommon, but such a large Feathered Serpent is very rare.
"Sure enough, this is a mid-level demonic beast. ”
Whether it's a monster or other non-intelligent creatures, there is no specific level.
People only roughly distinguish their ranks based on their strength and past experience, and then correspond to the ranks of the transcendental, from the first level to the high level, and then the legend.
When a transcendent person fuses a demon soul, he can generally only fuse a demon soul of the same rank as himself, and cannot cross the rank, otherwise it is almost impossible to succeed.
It's okay for the Demon Soul to be lower in rank than itself, but few people do it, because the strength of this pair of transcendents has a limited increase.
In Wren's eyes, he intuitively saw the soul and was able to judge the strength of this feathered serpent very accurately.
Its soul is obviously stronger than that of a beginner-level transcendent, as if it has undergone two soul transformations, it is similar to that of a middle-level transcendent, and if it is to be carefully divided, its strength is comparable to that of a fifth-level transcendent.
"Mid-rank snake feather, it has four soul elements. ”
Wren got closer to the iron cage to strengthen his soul perception of the Feathered Serpent, and soon got the information of these four soul elements.
Two arcane elements, one can control the atmosphere to form a wind blade to cut targets, and the other can create a whirlwind around you to speed up flight, which can also be used to attack enemies who are close.
A physical element in which the body recovers quickly in the event of an injury.
The last element surprised Wren, it turned out to be an ability element, gaining affinity with the wind element, increasing the power of casting wind spells, and strengthening his resistance to wind spells!
"This feathered serpent is really rare, it actually has an affinity for the wind element!"
Wren secretly admired that all the elements related to affinity belong to the ability class, as long as this element is attached to the demon soul, the value will increase several times in an instant.
Wind elemental affinity, whether for wizards or bloodborne warlocks, is a very good key element.
Wizards can use this Feathered Serpent to advance as an elemental, while Warlocks can add an elemental bloodline to themselves.
However, until the feathered serpent was killed and its demon soul was removed, no one else knew that it possessed an affinity for the wind element, except for Wren.
Wren's heart moved, as if he could use the soul eye to earn the difference.
There are generally two ways to trade in the Demon Soul Market.
One is to trade in living things, and the other is to trade in dead things.
Trading a living thing, like this feathered serpent, the seller is not sure what elements it has, it may have several powerful elements, or it may only have one or two ordinary elements, and the price difference between the two is very large, even hundreds of times more.
To be on the safe side, many sellers choose not to kill it and sell it at a relatively average price, at least without losing money.
After the buyer buys it, he can kill and take out the demon soul on the spot, no matter what the quality of the demon soul is, the number of elements, it has nothing to do with the seller.
There is a lot of uncertainty in this way of trading, but it is also a helpless move.
Because the demon soul is difficult to preserve, even if it is contained with a soul stone, from the moment it is killed and taken out, the power of the demon soul continues to dissipate, and the soul stone can only slow down this process, and cannot be preserved for a long time.
And to trade dead things is to sell soul stones directly.
The demon soul in the soul stone is more intuitive than when it was alive, at least it can see a few elements clearly, and for experienced transcendentals, it can distinguish the role, strength and weakness of these elements, and the category by observing the elements, and name them.
The trade in soul stones gave rise to a popular profession called Soul Seeker.
Some of the top soul connoisseurs can even judge the demon soul element of a living creature by observing its characteristics, and the accuracy rate is very high.
Wren's heart is hot, he has soul eyes, which is more powerful than any soul appreciation master.
He looked at the offer sign under the iron cage of Feathered Serpent, which read eight hundred gold shields!
"So expensive!"
Wren was very helpless, and found that he had taken it for granted.
A mid-level feathered serpent, even if there is no wind element affinity element, its value is almost five hundred gold shields, but now it is priced at eight hundred, obviously some soul connoisseurs have seen its extraordinary, but they are not sure.
Of course, the price of this feathered serpent must be more than eight hundred gold shields, and just one wind elemental affinity can double its value.
Wren touched the wallet in his arms, he is now only worth three hundred and sixty gold shields, where can he get eight hundred gold shields?
"Do you want to borrow it?" Wren immediately thought of Viola and Kenegi, and immediately vetoed it again. These two people just met today, so why did they lend money to themselves? Eight hundred gold dong is not a small amount of money, and they may have been kicked out as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Forget it, let's look at something else. Wren shook his head and turned away.
