Chapter 3: Underground Market

When Leon was done, he lay down on the bed. Thinking of the living expenses given by my mother before departure, I have to make a spending plan to see how much it is.

"I'm good!"

Leon couldn't help but sigh, because the bag contained all the gold coins! Leon counted it, and there were about a thousand. You must know that the living expenses of ordinary people in a year may only be one gold coin. Now Lyon is simply a little tyrant.

"Well, that's enough to take a while. Let's buy some magic items first. Leon thought with his money bag.

Leon arrives at a magic shop in the heart of the city.

When the middle-aged shopkeeper saw Leon, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"This young master, do you want to buy magic props?"

"Well, sort of. ”

"Then you've come to the right place. I'm the biggest magic shop in Raphael City, and I have all kinds of magic items, so what type do you need?"

Leon thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any magic props for self-defense?"

"Of course, I recommend it to you. You see, this is the type of jewelry, rings, necklaces, earrings, decorative gemstones, etc., which one do you need?"

"Let's look at the ring first. ”

"Okay. You see, this row is all ring-type magic. This is a Tier 1 fire-based magic - a small fireball, which only costs 10 gold coins. ”

"Well, is there anything better?"

"Absolutely. This is a third-order ice magic, the Ice Spike, as long as 100 gold coins, how about it?"

"Hmmm......"

Leon hesitated, although the magic items here are indeed very complete, but the prices are generally relatively expensive. Although Leon doesn't know magic, he has read all the magic books in the elven kingdom for more than ten years, and he probably still has an understanding of the value of each magic.

"If you really want it, I can give you a discount. "The shopkeeper thought Lyon didn't have enough money.

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring enough money, come back next time. Leon said apologetically.

"Oh, it's okay, welcome to the next time. ”

Leon had just walked out of the store when he was stopped around the corner by a man in a cloak.

Leon looked at the man who was blocking his way, and saw that he did not look like a robber or a thief.

"My lord, do you need to buy a magic item?"

It turned out to be a private trader.

"Yes. ”

"Then I know a place where magic items are very cheap, please come with me. ”

"Where?"

"Just behind the bar not far away. Rest assured, we are serious businessmen. ”

Leon followed the private vendor through two streets, into the bar, and to the back door of the bar.

"My lord, the destination is ahead. With that, the vendor opened the back door of the bar.

Leon originally thought that the back door of the bar was an ordinary house, but everything in front of him turned his thoughts upside down.

It's a crowded street, lined with vendors of all sorts of magic items. It turns out that this is the underground market in the capital!

"Guest, I'll take you here, and you can pick what you need next. ”

It turned out that the man with the cloak was a person who was responsible for soliciting customers near the regular magic shop.

"Okay, thanks. ”

Lyon strolling around the underground market. Although the workmanship here is relatively rough, the price is less than half of the previous magic shop, and it should be from the hands of magicians who are not very famous.

By the time Leon reached the end of the street, he had already selected more than a dozen magic items. Just as Leon was about to turn around and go back, an old woman in the corner called out to him.

"This young master, I have a very precious scroll here, do you want to take a look?" It turned out that the old grandmother had noticed Leon a long time ago, and she had already bought several magic props from the front, and she didn't look like a person who was short of money.

"What magic scroll?"

"Tier 6 Light Healing Magic - Light Guardian. ”

"What? Tier 6 healing magic, Lightguard?"

It's no wonder Leon was so surprised. After all, there are currently no more than 10 humans in the entire continent who can use Order-6 magic, not to mention that such a precious scroll still appears in the underground market.

"yes, the scroll from many years ago. Do you think you need it?"

"How much?"

"800 gold coins. ”

Indeed, 800 gold coins can buy a 6th order magic scroll is already a very low price, and generally 6th order magic scrolls cost more than 1,000 gold coins.

Leon looked at the gold coins in his money bag, and if he bought this scroll, he would only have food money left.

"Can you be less, you haven't sold this scroll here for so long, it's just that the price is too high. ”

Tier 6 magic scrolls are very sought-after items, and it stands to reason that they should be in short supply. But after all, this is an underground market, and people with money and face generally don't come here, so this is why Leon was surprised why such a precious magic scroll appeared here.

"800 is already the lowest price, and you will never be able to buy a Tier 6 magic item with 800 gold coins elsewhere. Well, I'll give you another free copy of the Wizard as a giveaway, how about it?"

With that, the old woman took out a magic book from the cloth bag with an old-looking packaging.

"I've bought a lot of offensive and defensive magic items, and I was originally going to buy some healing magic. If you save a little, you should still have enough money left. Leon gritted his teeth, "Okay, wrap it up for me." ”

"Okay!"

Listening to the old grandmother's happy voice, I really don't know how long this scroll has been sitting here.

In the evening, Leon returned to his dormitory and threw everything he had found today on the bed.

"Well, 10 rings, 6 scrolls, 9 1st level magic, 4 2nd order magic, 2 3rd level magic, 1 6th level magic, the harvest is not bad. The remaining dozens of gold coins are also enough for living expenses. ”

Leon sorted out the magic props, only to find that the bag was bulging, and there was one more thing.

"Oh, I almost forgot, there's a magic book. ”

Leon flipped through the magic book with his hand.

It is a relatively old bound magic book, but it is very well preserved, without any missing corners or breakage. But the content is more disappointing, it is the "Holy Canon" of the church, which tells how God taught humans to use magic, how to help humans survive in troubled times, and became the faith of mankind.

"Forget it, it's for nothing anyway. Leon tossed the book on the table. However, he did not notice a trace of black smoke emitted by the magic book on the table.

On the other side, Ophelia had returned to Frank's territory.

"Ophelia, how did I find out that the maid seems to be missing?" asked Bill to Ophelia.

"Any questions?"

"Isn't there a problem, did you forget to bring a maid for Leon?"

It was then that Ophelia remembered what she had forgotten.

"Oops, completely forgot. ”
