Chapter 153: Wizard Andorra (Four Watches!) )
Three days have passed since the start of the steel plant, and everything is on track. The parts sent to the alchemy workshop every day could fill two caravans, and in order to speed up the assembly, Fielding had to recruit ten more alchemy apprentices to assemble muskets in the workshop.
Counting the orders for parts from the industry alliances, at least a hundred muskets were sent to the barracks every day, and at most two hundred muskets at one time. The dark smoke and dust floated in the sky above Boulder City, and fortunately, the Thorn Wasteland was rich in iron ore, otherwise it would not be easy to support this war with such a huge consumption of iron ore.
Because the entire blacksmith shop was invested in the production of musket parts, the prices of swords, armor, and iron tools have risen to a considerable extent. Previously, this was almost unimaginable.
In Boulder City, on a sunny morning, Jiang Feng, who had just eaten breakfast, ushered in an unexpected guest.
At breakfast time, Rembert dragged his fat body in front of Jiang Feng, and then respectfully saluted, "Great and wise Chief Wizard, a gentleman who has come from afar has asked to see you. ”
Jiang Feng looked at Rembert, Rembert didn't look very good at this time, his mung bean-sized eyes were a little distracted, and he was a little sluggish when he walked, and more importantly, Jiang Feng felt a breath from a wizard.
"Hmph."
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Jiang Feng snorted lightly, and the tide-like spiritual power was instantly released.
When it comes to the strength and control of his spiritual power, he has far surpassed the level of a one-star wizard, although he lacks stamina, his momentum is still very bluffing.
Sure enough, after feeling the huge spiritual power, the spiritual energy wrapped around Rembert's body receded in an instant, and there was not a trace of tail left.
Obviously, the other party has no malicious intent, otherwise he would not choose to "test" himself in this way.
Waking up from a dream, Rembert stood there, seemingly puzzled as to why he was here. After a long while, the fragmented memory returned to him, and then a drop of cold sweat slipped down his forehead, and he already knew that he might have fallen under the spell of a wizard.
"Lead the way." Standing up, Jiang Feng said.
"Yes, yes......" Rembert said tremblingly, turning stiffly.
Yi Ran, who was cutting slices of bread, raised her eyelids, and she also noticed the spiritual energy, and asked in a casual tone.
"Do you need me to come with you?"
"No, there should be no hostility on the other side."
Jiang Feng shook his head, looked at Lumbert, who had already walked to the door, and followed with a step.
The kingdom of Rick canonized a wizard, and this matter is both big and small. However, it is impossible to be completely unnoticed. In particular, he built the wizard tower with great fanfare in the wizarding field, preparing to recruit apprentices, which would naturally attract wild wizards on this continent.
Jiang Feng guessed that his identity as a wizard might have attracted the arrival of the reclusive wild wizards nearby.
It's just that this wizard doesn't seem to want to attract too many people's attention, so he comes to himself through such a method, as for whether the other party has malicious intent, it seems that there is no at present, otherwise what appears in front of him will not be a Rembert who has been tricked into illusion, it is likely to be a dead man who has been refined into a witchcraft puppet, or a fireball the size of a basin.
Whether you can hurt yourself is another story, but it's always a problem.
Regarding a wizard's invitation, Jiang Feng thought about it for a while, and then decided to meet this person.
After all, he knew too little about the wizarding circle, and he had only seen a few descriptions in books. It's rare to meet a wizard who is not hostile, not to mention what benefits can be gained by seeing each other, at least they can exchange information that they don't know about each other.
Walking ahead, Rembert led Jiang Feng to the reception room of the city hall.
After opening the door and seeing the man sitting in the room, Rembert was like a frightened fat mouse, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, turned around and slipped away.
Jiang Feng looked inside the room and saw a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties sitting on a chair, sipping coffee with interest. While it's uncertain if his real age is really only thirty as he seems, at least he expressed his friendliness and didn't hide his whereabouts.
"For the arrogant mortal, I gave him a little punishment, and I hope you don't mind." The middle-aged man smiled gently and put down the cup in his hand, "It's a very interesting drink, it makes people feel refreshed." ”
"Wizard? Explain what you mean. Jiang Feng asked directly.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Andorra. When I passed by the secret market, I heard your name on the way, so I came to pay a visit, hoping to exchange ideas about witchcraft with you. Andorra said Schreli.
Judging from the fluctuation of mental power, the strength of the other party should be at the level of a one-star wizard. From his words, Jiang Feng knew that there seemed to be a place called a "secret market" nearby, and this place made him care a little.
The thought in his heart moved slightly, and Jiang Feng returned the salute and said, "Jiang Feng, a wizard from Port Savit, is now the chief wizard of the Rick Kingdom. It's not convenient to talk here, so please follow me to other places. ”
"It's fine." Andorra smiled and nodded.
After making a gesture of please, Jiang Feng turned around and walked out the door.
For the stranger walking next to Jiang Feng, although the people around him were curious, they didn't dare to ask more, they just regarded him as Jiang Feng's guest. After the two of them went up to the second floor, they entered the study of the city hall, where Mayor Salos used to work in the past, but since Jiang Feng entered Boulder City, this place has become Jiang Feng's exclusive office.
"Mr. Andorra, I heard you're going to a fair, which is near Boulder City?"
Andorra was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that at such a distance, the other party, as a wizard, didn't know about the existence of the bazaar, but he didn't say much. After all, Jiang Feng's strange name first appeared in a remote colony like Port Sewit, and he may not have been to the Thorn Wasteland before, which is also very normal.
Some old monsters that are hundreds of years old have a retreat experiment for hundreds of years, and hundreds of years is enough time for the pattern of this world to change a lot.
However, Jiang Feng's feeling to Andorra is quite strange, it is rumored that he should be the existence of a three-star wizard, and only in this way can he be rewarded by the mortal king with an entire dukedom territory after "joining the WTO". However, from Jiang Feng's body, he didn't feel too much of the aura of a strong man, making people unsure whether this person was hiding his strength or his own strength.
"Yes, the bazaar is in the desert east of the Thorn Wasteland, there are many wizards who will exchange resources there, if you are interested, you can check it out." Andor smiled and said, and then explained the existence of the bazaar to Jiang Feng in detail.
The controllers of the secret bazaar are the seven wizarding families.
However, it is said that it is a wizard family, in fact, except for the elders, most of the members of these families are mortals, and at most they are apprentices. The talent of a wizard is quite contingent and does not necessarily pass on to the next generation through the bloodline. In the words of this world, it is fate, and in Jiang Feng's words, it is genetic mutation.
Because of the existence of the seven wizarding families, the bazaar can remain stable, and ordinary people dare not make trouble there.
In addition, there are rumors that there is a shadow of the academy behind the bazaar, but the giant ship of the academy has not arrived in this world for many years, and everything cannot be confirmed.
In the eastern bazaar of the Thorn Wastes, the active crowd is mainly wizard apprentices, mortals with close ties to wizards, and a small number of one-star wizards. After all, most wild wizards have not received systematic education, and to become apprentices is already the ancestor who burns high incense, and only a few have reached one star.
As for the two-star and three-star wild wizards, they are usually in their own wizard towers and rarely come out and walk around on their own.
In the bazaar, magic stones are currency-like existences. After all, mortal currency doesn't mean much to wizards, and they can be easily obtained if they want. The witchcraft props used to save life are very sought-after, and the price is often more than 100 magic stones. A simple sorcery launcher is slightly cheaper, but it also costs more than dozens of magic stones. The people who buy these items are not just wizards, but also the occasional nobleman in the secular world. After all, many witchcraft props are existences that even mortals can use.
Of course, the most sought-after is the witchcraft model, which is also what everyone wants.
Jiang Feng nodded when he heard this, and had a preliminary understanding of this bazaar. I didn't expect that there would be such an interesting place next to his territory.
If he has time, he plans to visit there.
“…… You said that witchcraft models are in high demand there, can you tell me more about that? Jiang Feng thought for a while and said.
"Of course," Andorra smiled gently, "a man's wisdom is always small, even for us geniuses who are self-taught. Often, it takes more than ten years to study a model of witchcraft, and exploring the relics left by ancient wizards may cost you your life. So in addition to learning and exploring, we also need to trade ......"
Saying that, Andorra talked to Jiang Feng about the market in the bazaar in a casual tone.
The witchcraft and curse system that are now known are relatively rare. Chaos sorcery is rarer than curses, but few people take it out, and few people are willing to learn it. Not only is it difficult to learn, but the backlash of chaos sorcery against the caster's spirit is stronger than that of the curse system. Unless they are fairly confident in their spirit, few people are willing to engage in such adventurous research.
The second is the natural system, the life system, the spirit system, the change system and some other non-attribute witchcraft, their value is slightly higher than that of the elemental system, and the value varies greatly according to the different effects. For example, the illusion used by Andorra against Mayor Lembert in the past was apprentice-level spiritual witchcraft, which was comparable in value to one-star elemental witchcraft.
Most wizards master the most elemental witchcraft, which Jiang Feng is just the opposite, he even has to use chaos fire to rub a flame, and the chaos and curse systems below three stars are all proficient, but the elemental witchcraft that is not simple and easy to understand is that the magic elements are neatly arranged.
In addition, the reason why Andorra said so much was that the main purpose of Andorra was said at the beginning, he hoped to exchange witchcraft models with Jiang Feng and exchange ideas academically.
Jiang Feng nodded when he heard this, he had a general understanding of this bazaar, and after thinking for a while, he spoke.
"I understand what you mean, it just so happens that I am also interested in the knowledge of wizards in Aditya, I wonder if Andorran wizards are interested in cursed witchcraft?"
Andorra was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly said that this trip was really worth it.
What's the difference between a wizard who doesn't curse witchcraft and a salted fish?
So, he hurriedly said.
"Of course! Our trading sessions are based on equivalent exchanges. ”
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this." ”
Jiang Feng looked at Andorra and slowly said his thoughts, he planned to use seven apprentice-level curse-based witchcraft in exchange for fourteen apprentice-level elemental witchcraft in Andorra, of course, the most important thing was a meditation method.
Andorra's eyes widened when he heard this, seven curse system witchcraft, he didn't expect Jiang Feng to come up with so many rare witchcraft, even if it was at the apprentice level. Although the fourteen elemental sorcery made him a little painful and almost emptied his family, he finally agreed to the deal thinking that if he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to encounter it in the future.
It's just that Andorra was a little hesitant about the meditation method.
“…… I'm happy to exchange it for curse sorcery, but I only exchange magic stones for the meditation method, at least fifty low-level magic stones, which is a very fair price. Saying that, Andor seemed to be worried that Jiang Feng would not believe it, and said with a solemn oath, "No one will deceive a wizard who is proficient in curse magic for the sake of dozens of magic stones, you can rest assured of this." ”
Originally, Andor thought that Jiang Feng would hesitate, after all, this was not a wizard continent, and fifty magic stones was not a small amount, even if it was a low-level magic stone.
However, to Andorra's surprise, Jiang Feng nodded directly.
"Okay, no problem."
After speaking, Jiang Feng waved his hand, and fifty low-level magic stones were placed on the table, and Andorra's eyes were about to bulge out.
He never thought that Jiang Feng would be able to take out fifty low-level magic stones at once, just this guy who didn't even know about the bazaar!
Previously, Jiang Feng had obtained a lot of magic stones from Monkiri, and later he had gained a lot in the Cursed Rift, so he didn't feel distressed at all about spending this magic stone. Soon his wizard's tower will be built, and the apprentices will be enrolled in school, and with the meditation method, those young wizards will not need to torture themselves with fatigue training methods.
With a smile on his face, Andor handed over the fourteen apprentice-level elemental sorcery and the Basic Meditation Method Gate to Jiang Feng. Fifty low-level magic stones, plus seven apprentice-level curse sorcery, was a bumper harvest for him.
Of course, Jiang Feng's side is the same.
Having mastered the fireball technique, he finally looks like a wizard.
After Andorra handed the things to Jiang Feng, he thought for a while and said, "I heard that you have built the Wizard Tower, if you are short of teachers, you might as well go to the bazaar and inquire, if your Wizard Tower is attractive enough, I think there will be someone willing to work for you." ”
Jiang Feng nodded, he felt that Andorra's suggestion was something to consider, but now was not the time to consider it.
Because he exchanged a lot of things with Jiang Feng, Andorra didn't plan to go to the market anymore, these things were enough for him to digest for a while, but Andorra didn't leave, cursed wizards are rare after all, and academic exchanges can't be completed in a day or two.
He planned to stay here for a few days, and if there was anything he didn't understand, it would be convenient to discuss it with Jiang Feng.
