Chapter 24: The Magic Market
The environment of the sixth district is very different from the outer four districts, the flow of people is obviously much less, and most of the adventurers with some strength or magic apprentices who are studying here are seen on the road, but ordinary people basically can't see it.
More than a dozen spired and slender mage towers were located on the entire sixth floor, and only a few of them could be seen from Latis's current position, and from time to time he could see young men coming out from under the towers, dressed in apprentice robes, most of them weak and full of bookish breath.
It was hard for ordinary people to imagine why the Venerable Marquis would set aside an entire huge city area for the sake of these guys as a hotbed for cultivating them, but combined with the current situation of Chris's kingdom and the scarcity of magical power, it was actually not difficult to understand.
As we all know, mages are one of the existence with the highest threshold in all professions, even if you want to become a magic apprentice, you need extraordinary talents, the right soul talent is secondary, it mainly depends on a person's mental power, the spiritual power is not strong enough for a person, no matter how much you exercise and meditate, the possibility of being able to independently open up the soul knowledge sea is almost equal to nothing, this is not a cruel reality that can be changed by hard work.
As a result, there are very few people who can become magical apprentices, which leads to the fact that they are born to stand at a higher starting point than ordinary people, and every magical power is a precious treasure of a country.
And this is especially true for the kingdom of Chris, this country is full of martial arts, and there is never a shortage of high-level melee professionals, but there is really no way to do it in terms of magical power, it is precisely because of such shortcomings that the high-level of the kingdom has been increasing the cultivation of magical power in recent generations.
It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be done overnight, it's not so easy to catch up with the backwardness over the years, and it can be seen from the backward training method that the mage tower is still maintained here, and the mentor leads the apprentice, and in the past few years, the kingdom has not achieved much effect.
You must know that those human empires and even kingdoms that dominate with magical power have more or less a few orthodox magic academies, which continue to cultivate magical talents for the country, but the Chris's kingdom does not even have a decent magic academy, which is of course the reason why other major powers are afraid of the strong military strength of the Chris's kingdom and join forces to block its knowledge, but it is still because the Chris's kingdom has always paid insufficient attention to the magic power.
Latis knew this because Albert had mentioned to him in his spare time that this plane had been under the jurisdiction of the Holy Mountain for a short time, and although the magical knowledge handed down from the Holy Mountain was not much, it was also slowly pulling the steady development of the magical civilization of this plane, while the magic level of the Chris Kingdom was far from reaching the normal level of this era, which naturally attracted Albert's attention.
However, knowing that Radis does not have any sense of belonging to this country, naturally there is no special feeling, these are just momentary feelings, and even for him, this is actually a good thing - if the magic power of this country is very developed, then he may not be able to make a lot of money by relying on his not very good alchemy.
·········
Coming to the area where the magic market is located, since horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to enter the market, Laces parked the carriage in a special stable, and entered the market alone to purchase the necessary materials and props.
This market is not big, in addition to the square where the stalls are set up, there are also fixed stalls with unique charm formed by the internal space of the city wall, and most of the magic materials sold are common types, in addition to some low-level finished alchemy props or magic scroll shops, which can be regarded as small sparrows, but they are all complete.
Ratis was not in a hurry, so he wandered around and bought some materials or inscriptions in good condition when he saw them.
It didn't take long for me to purchase a lot of big bags and small bags.
Only at this time will Radis have some resentment, complaining that his father doesn't know how to prepare a space storage prop for himself, and Radis didn't ask him, but Albert sternly refused on the grounds of "cultivating your ability to be independent".
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Albert's cultivation of Radis has always been limited to the teaching of knowledge and concepts, and there is not much real material help, ordinary magic materials are naturally given, but once it comes to a certain level of precious items, he manages them very strictly, and Radis understands that he is afraid that he is too dependent on external objects and develops a bad habit of excessive demand.
His education method is more inclined to let Radis find a way to solve problems by himself, if not, he can prepare a large number of high-level magic items for Radis to carry with him, let him squander them, and encounter an enemy that he can't deal with A high-level magic scroll smashed on, what else can't be solved?
The reality is that all the props he wears on his body now are self-made, and Albert has never interfered at all.
It's not that Latis can't understand his good intentions, but sometimes he still feels troublesome, such as in the current situation - sometimes he thinks that it's actually quite good to be an arrogant and domineering second generation of law, but it's a pity that he doesn't have such a fate.
As for saving money to buy a space storage prop, it would be nonsense, and with his current level, he would not be able to touch something of this grade at all.
Reality is not a fantasy novel on the bad street, a magician can have a space storage prop in his hands, as one of the four basic laws of the world, the magic knowledge involving the use of space is quite a cutting-edge discipline, often knowledgeable formal mages may not be able to master even a little bit of space magic, basically only the transcendental level mage who has perfected the world of consciousness and began to affect reality has enough ability and qualification to study space magic, the same is true of alchemy, and the production of magic props about space is a very high-level alchemy knowledge。
Not to mention that in the kingdom of Chris, where the magic power is backward, even in other advanced countries, space storage props are definitely extremely rare and precious items, and if you think about it, you know that it is definitely not something that can be bought with the currency of the mortal world, such as gold coins.
Latis didn't even think about the possibility of buying space props by himself, at least for a long time.
Putting away his boring conjectures, Laceis counted the materials and ink he was carrying, and basically bought almost everything.
"Next, there is a lack of an inscription pen in hand, which is not complacent, and I hope to buy the right one. ”
Thinking like this, Radis continued to wander······
