14. The debt is staggering
The voice was cheerful and noisy, and the fiery atmosphere swept away the depression just now, except for Luo Li, the person who brought the bat, all the wizard apprentices were elated, after all, this adult red eye could bring them a very good income.
Roland red-eyed bats, the continental, are the size of a man's palm in their juveniles, but as they mature they can reach the size of foals, and their value will increase rapidly as adults.
'Adult red-eyed' is the mature body of the Roland red-eyed bat, basically a 100,000-sized bat group is only a few dozen adult red-eyed, and their appearance also indicates the strength and prosperity of the bat colony.
Ordinary juvenile bats only have blood value, while adult Roland red-eyed bats are treasures all over their bodies, basically the price of an adult red-eyed is between 80~100 magic coins, and this is still based on dead materials, as for the price of the living, it will be doubled.
Very cost-effective, the docile adult Red-Eye can be easily tamed by a wizard's apprentice, and if combined with potions and magic to transform its size, a very good vehicle and scout pet is born.
Of course, they are extremely difficult to catch, and although the adult red eye is not very aggressive, its extremely high IQ and speed are beyond the reach of the average apprentice, and its ability to manipulate a group of bats makes it even more difficult to catch.
The most effective way for an apprentice wizard to capture an adult red eye is to slaughter a colony of bats, and when the size of the bats drops to a certain number, they can be captured with special potions or enchanted items, which is of course too expensive.
In fact, the two adult red eyes captured by Jack this time were mostly lucky, because he didn't burst out with any murderous energy, which caught the adult red eyes who are sensitive to danger a little unprepared, and if Jack did it again, he might not be able to catch them.
Either way, the results of the hunt were real, and it took the wizard apprentices a long time to stabilize their adult red-eyed injuries, and that's when they began to pay attention to Lori.
"Tell me, how did you catch it?"
Changing the angry look just now, the blonde girl Avril looked at the somewhat confused Luo Li with a smile, and Rose next to her also frowned and came over, these two smart female apprentices absolutely did not believe that Luo Li could capture adult red eyes alone.
"I, I caught it with Jack, and he had a big one over there. ”
Luo Li lowered her head slightly, she seemed to be a little unable to withstand everyone's gaze and became hesitant, and after hearing her words, everyone gasped again.
"And an adult red eye?"
Rose frowned, she wasn't as happy as the others, and after making eye contact with Avril she began to ask about the details of the capture, and Lori replied hesitantly.
"Anyone? Come and help, I can't get the damn bat anymore!"
Jack and the little girl came out of the shadows not far away, he had actually been there for a while, but he didn't come to meet them immediately because of the attitude of the crowd towards bats.
"I seem to have gone too far, and it seems that this large bat is not an ordinary thing to hunt. ”
Jack smiled bitterly in his heart, and in the surprise of everyone, he threw another large bat to the ground, and this action made everyone's hearts skip a beat, and soon they rushed to the rescue of the bat.
"Jack, you captured this?"
Rose came over to ask because she was more familiar with Jack, and Avril on the side, ignoring the treatment of bats, followed over, and she felt the same curiosity.
"Well, luckily, I used a one-time enchantment with good power to knock them down. ”
Jack was speaking lightly, while Rose and Avril frowned, and when they saw the other twenty or so small bats that Jack had captured, they were even more puzzled, considering that there were only about eighty of them caught.
Unlike Jack, who has a rock body to enhance his strength, they can only use their mental power to assist the power of throwing, so it is naturally impossible to hit bats flying in high places.
"A one-time enchanted item? Can you tell me about it? I'm very interested in this thing!"
The blonde girl Avril was playfully talking, which attracted the attention of many of the apprentices, who quickly surrounded Jack after dealing with the injury of another adult red eye.
Disposable enchanted items are known to everyone, simply put, they are supernatural abilities that can only be used once, and its disadvantages are obviously short lifespans, and the advantage is that it is more powerful than ordinary enchanted items.
"It's easy to say, but you can't afford it. ”
Jack slapped the dust off his body as he spoke very politely, and Avril raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Oh, I can't see that you have such financial resources, is it that Sister Ross was also secretly bought by you?"
Avril the blonde girl glanced at Rose with a wicked smile, and the other frowned slightly and ignored it, a mature woman like Rose was used to these provocations.
"I don't have much money personally, so I just borrowed some money from the school to buy things. ”
Jack shrugged his shoulders and handed out a badge, which was proof of identity for the wizarding school and a simple enchanted item for distributing resources and keeping track of debts, figuratively like a credit card on Earth.
Slightly puzzled, the blonde girl Avril injected mental power into Jack's badge, and soon a series of red numbers blinded her eyes.
"Well, it's the first time I've seen a debt ...... ten times more than my deposit."
Silent and in a cold sweat, the apprentices, including Rose and Avril, were all in a daze, and the 500 magic coins owed by Jack were an eye-opener.
In this world, ordinary people use copper coins and gold as circulating currency, while wizards and wizard apprentices are small magic coins and magic coins are the units of measurement. (100 Magic Coins = 1 Magic Coin)
Jack's 500 magic coin debt is almost equivalent to 400,000 earth soft coin girl, try to imagine that ordinary college student would go to school with 400,000 foreign debts?
In this continent, the magic coins have not depreciated and appreciated, their value is very fixed, and their purchasing power and overall quantity are not the kind of earth where a corrupt official can have hundreds of millions at every turn.
Ordinary civilian apprentices may have no reference value, according to the heirs of small nobles like Avril, her financial standard is about 50 magic coins, and the heirs of some strength are 300 magic coins, and the old students are basically more than 1000 magic coins, and the words of the wizard are said separately.
So a guy like Jack, who can have 500 magic coins just because he is in debt, can be said to be blinded by them, knowing that if they don't pay back the resources and magic coins owed to the school, they will be banished to the polluted area to do hard labor, which is no different from sending them to death.
"Well, brother, I see, the one-time enchanted items you mentioned are indeed not something Avril can afford. ”
The blonde girl Avril has begun to call Brother Jack, she really admires the other party, sometimes some apprentices with little financial resources will do things like Jack in order to attack wizards, and there are really so many successful ones in history.
Of course, many more unlucky ones were exiled to the contaminated area by the school to do hard labor, and I heard that the worst one was captured by the bloodline wizard and used as a test for reproduction.
Very quickly, all the wizard apprentices present changed their attitude towards Jack, and even the fiery blonde girl Avril maintained a little respect for him, what else could anyone else say?
Jack didn't care about everyone's reactions, he was relieved when he silently took back his badge, he didn't want to be known about his rudimentary magic at this time, so he made up such a one-time enchanted item as a shield.
"It's a joke, after all, it's because I'm not familiar with these tasks, I didn't think this bat is so valuable!"
With a wry smile in his heart, Jack, an apprentice who studies enchanted items, has quite a good knowledge of special metals or plants, but he doesn't know much about biological materials, which may also be due to his long-term closed-door research and bias.
Silently, Rose on the side was a little touched, and she didn't know what she remembered, and her eyes became sentimental when she looked at Jack......
