Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wind God's Guardian
After leaving the Wizard's Tower, Daniel prepares to check out Vernal's shop.
After he left, he also contacted Fernal and Jim through Hedwig a few times, asking them to take full charge of the cultivation plan for the minotaur, presumably now that it was completed, and he was ready to see the results.
When he entered, he happened to see that Vernal was talking to a girl with freckles on her face, and at this time she had already shown an impatient look, and if it were not for the smiling face of the businessman, he would have been driven away.
Daniel understood what was going on, and the girl had taken a fancy to one of the healing potions in the store, but unfortunately she didn't have so many magic stones on hand, and was bargaining with Vernal to sell it to herself.
However, the price difference is too much, and the two have been unable to get along, and when they saw Daniel coming in, Vernal's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, it's really a defeat for you, the potion is sold to you, don't come to my store again in the future." ”
"Thank you, thank you. She suddenly saw Daniel coming in, and said with a smile, "It turned out that it was thanks to the professor, and I thanked the professor here." ”
Daniel smiled slightly, "It's okay, welcome to Dorith next time." ”
Toris was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and her face showed an excited look. She greeted Daniel only because she knew that Daniel was the owner behind the store.
This time, I was able to buy the potion thanks to him, which may not be very good for others, but in her hands, it can sometimes save lives and is very precious.
Only then did she greet Daniel, and she didn't expect to get a response from him, especially since Daniel would know his name, which was too surprising to her.
He is just an ordinary apprentice, how can he compare with Daniel, I didn't expect him to know his name.
How did Toris know that Daniel was able to recognize her because of the chip.
In the past life, the chip is claimed to be the second brain of human beings, which can replace all the functions of the brain, and greatly strengthen, and memory is the most significant aspect. Anyone who has ever met him will be recognized by Daniel.
He had known Dores during one of his lectures, when Doris, who had been in the audience, had been mentioned by her name and had spoken to Doris.
Daniel only then knew her name, or else he would have to recall that Toris was a member of the audience, not her name.
But that was enough, it was just a small gesture, and Dorith had already made a big difference in Daniel's impression.
After all, it was good enough for a person who was usually high up to say hello to her, enough to impress Doris. Not to mention mentioning her name to let her know that he knew him too.
Vernal led Daniel to his side and sat down, bringing him a drink himself.
"Daniel, when did you come back, don't tell me a word, let me pick you up. ”
"I just came back, didn't I come to you just after I came out of the Mentor's Wizard Tower, the shop is doing well. ”
"It's okay, how did you get sent by your mentor to travel to the underworld, and how did you spend this time. ”
Hearing him say this, Daniel sighed and explained to him what had happened in the underworld. Although the two of them also communicated through Hedwig a few times, Daniel had not been in touch for a long time since Daniel had time to communicate with him in order to escape for his life.
It's really sad to explain at this moment.
And as he narrates, when Daniel mentions that he has a lava heart in his hand, Vernal's hand shakes, and the drink he is holding almost spills out, which shows that he is excited.
Lava Hearts are the best material for crafting staves, and are very scarce. As far as he knew, even the entire Flame Throne Wizard Academy would have two or three staffs made of lava hearts.
There is really a record, and only another wizard seed Sylvia has one, and the others are all rumors, whether there is or not is still the same thing, which shows the rarity of the number.
Unexpectedly, Daniel's trip to the underworld actually obtained the Heart of Lava. Now it looks like another staff made of lava hearts is about to appear.
"It's so much fun, since it's a lava heart, you have to find the most clever alchemist to make it. Otherwise, it would be a waste of the Lava Heart. ”
"Of course, who is the best alchemist in our academy?"
"It's Senior Angus, he is the most powerful alchemist in our academy, if even he can't make it, then there will be no one in our academy. ”
Daniel said he understood. It's not that he doesn't want to find a mentor to refine, with a higher level of ability, a staff refined by a formal wizard must be better.
However, for some unknown reason or due to certain restrictions, official wizards do not give apprentices help in this regard, even wizard seeds.
The two of them went to the workshop of the senior Angus together, who knew that the senior Angus was not there, and the apprentice hired by Angus said that he had gone to participate in a small auction.
The two of them went to the auction together. The auction was held in an open field, surrounded by hundreds of apprentices, while the auctioneer in the middle was introducing the auction items in his hand.
"This is a thunder bracelet from the Scarlet Thunder Wizard Academy, capable of sending out a thunder purgatory equivalent to a 280-degree attack. And this is a range-type attack, as long as it is within ten meters, it will be attacked by Thunder Purgatory, which can be said to be the best means to clear the field, and the best effect on low-level monsters. ”
"What a good baby, Daniel, or you'll auction it off. Anyway, with wizard seeds, you can buy them at a three-fold discount, and you won't suffer a loss no matter how you look at it. ”
"No, I'll see. ”
Daniel shook his head and vetoed Vernal's proposal.
In all fairness, this is indeed a good bracelet, and 280 degrees is already equivalent to the level of a third-level apprentice's level of attack. It's still an area attack.,If you're besieged by a large number of monsters.,Three chances are enough to save your life.。
But who is he with these days?
Natalie, Ralph, Mary, which of the three hands does not have more than a dozen demonized items, and they are all among the best products, which can be used together.
In particular, Ralph's outfit was specially tailored for him, which was a luxury.
None of the demonic items in their hands were much better than this Thunder Bracelet. With them, his vision is also much higher, and the items that can be put in his eyes are all top-level demonized items, and he almost doesn't even have the desire to buy them.
It's just that Daniel doesn't look at it, there are many people who regard it as a treasure, and the auctioneer has just announced the reserve price. The shouts instantly rose higher and higher, and the entire venue was drowned out by numerous shouts.
On the middle screen there are dense numbers appearing, refreshing the highest quotes again and again.
Vernal also quoted the price twice, hoping to get the auction, but looking at the soaring price, he stopped very wisely.
Although he has obtained a lot of magic stones with Daniel in the past two years, it is only more than four hundred, even if he invests them all, it is less than a fraction, so don't be ashamed.
Soon the price exceeded 1,500 magic stones, and by this time, it had gradually exceeded the reserve price of many people, and the scene slowly calmed down, leaving only three people to compete.
"1600 magic stones. A teenager muttered an offer.
"Haha, you are embarrassed to put such a little magic stone in your eyes, I will give 1700 yuan. ”
A girl with long hair said, she was dressed in a rich wizard's robe, and she didn't look like a person who was short of money.
The eyes of the remaining one person flashed with unwillingness, but the price of 1,700 magic stones had overflowed with the price of the thunder bracelet, and he was really reluctant to waste the magic stones on this, so he opened his mouth, hesitated again and again, and could only reluctantly withdraw, watching the remaining two compete.
The girl's words obviously angered the young man, and she said directly, "1800 magic stones, this is my reserve price, as long as you dare to give 1900 magic stones, I will give it to you." If it's more than 1800, don't take it out. I'm ashamed of you. ”
The girl's face showed anger, the meaning of his words was clear, that is, he wanted to make trouble with her, and directly set the price of 1900 magic stones, otherwise the two people were entangled again, and her face would not be happy.
But 1900 magic stones is really not a small amount, even if she usually spends a lot of money, she also feels a headache, hesitates for a long time, and then gritted her teeth and said, "1900 magic stones." ”
When she said it, she looked bold and generous, but in fact, her heart was dripping blood, so many magic stones, she didn't know where to fill this hole.
"Very good, this lady bought the Thunder Bracelet for 1,900 magic stones, and now we will auction another item, the Fire Crystal. ”
After the auction of one item after another, it can be said that they are all high-quality, but Daniel did not put it in his eyes, who made his current vision very high, not the best thing, and not worthy of him, with his progress, I am afraid that it can only last for a few years after buying, and it is not easy to use, and it needs to be replaced. Instead of that, it's better to go straight and buy the best.
Soon it was time for the final moment of the auction to start the auction of the finale treasures.
I saw that the auctioneer's face was solemn, and he clapped his hands, and soon a girl wearing a maid's robe walked up with a tray, and it could be seen from the fluctuations emanating from her body that she was a third-level wizard apprentice.
Everyone was shocked, what kind of treasure did this need to be worthy of being brought by a third-level apprentice in person.
The auctioneer gently lifted the velvet covered with it, took out a ring on it, first remembered it for a long time, and then said in the expectant eyes of everyone, "Next, we will auction the finale treasure of this auction, which is also the collection obtained by the academy 100 years ago, a defensive ring 'Guardian of the Wind God'."
It can withstand up to 403 degrees of attacks, and is inlaid with a spar of a high-magic creature, which can provide a certain amount of magic power for defense.
By using 'Aeol's Guardian', you only need to consume 1/3 of your mana to activate your defense. The academy has tested that it can be turned on for about a quarter of an hour under normal conditions. Of course, if the battle is fierce, the mana consumption will be too large, and the time will be shortened. However, if combined with its own defense, it can also greatly extend the time. ”
After listening to his introduction to the ability of the 'Wind God's Guardian', everyone immediately exclaimed, and no one was not moved.
A 403-degree attack, this is already the level that the most peak and genius third-level apprentice can achieve. Even Ralph didn't reach this level, he was a dual-star talent, and his attack power was very strong.
However, even he does not have the ability to break through the 'Aeol's Guardian'.
What's more, this is just, just a ring, who doesn't have a few defense methods, if you count other defense capabilities, who can break it, it can be called an artifact in the apprentice stage.
When the auctioneer announces the reserve price, the price quickly climbs.
"4,000 magic stones. ”
"5,000 magic stones. ”
"7000 pieces. ”
"10,000 pieces. ”
It's just that the price has exceeded 10,000 in the blink of an eye, and it is still rising rapidly.
Before others came to their senses, the price had reached 20,000 magic stones. That's when it eased up.
However, this is not the end, the main reason is that even if the apprentices present can come up with 20,000 magic stones, they are all the top bosses, the bosses of every force. And I got the news in advance, and I gathered some funds to have 20,000 magic stones.
Who would have thought that even 20,000 magic stones would not be able to take down the 'Wind God's Guardian', there was no way, they had to discuss with others again, a few people united, or borrow other people's, even if they paid a big price, they would have to take the protection of the Fengshen.
Without him, with just one ring, I'm afraid that the next candidate for the wizard seed will be in the bag. It's worth it, no matter how big the price is.
Fortunately, this is also within the academy, with the academy pressing, it is impossible to rob, otherwise everyone would have gone crazy, no matter how big the defense force is, someone will jump out and rob it.
At the beginning, when Vernal saw the 'Guardian of the Wind God', he was a little eager to try, watching the price rise all the way, which made people desperate, and in the end, he didn't even say anything to let Daniel buy it.
Although Daniel is very rich, he has a close relationship with Daniel, and he can be said to be one of his stewards. He still has a certain guess about how much money he has, and it will only be a few thousand magic stones when he sells it. This is obviously a huge difference.
Who knew that he suddenly saw Daniel raise his hand and said lightly, "24,000 magic stones." ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the auctioneer was stunned for a moment, and said, "Professor, you must know that this is 24,000 magic stones, if you auction it, you can't take it out, and the academy will not spare you." ”
Daniel nodded in understanding, and the auctioneer didn't say anything more and motioned for the auction to continue.
Few of the 24,000 magic stones can come up with, at least only two or three people dare to follow up. Still hesitated for a long time, and then someone shouted: "24,500 magic stones." ”
"25,000 magic stones. ”
Daniel raised his hand and said lightly, that look, as if he was not talking about magic stones, but ordinary gold coins, and did not use magic stones as money at all.
The rest of the people did not dare to follow closely, and often hesitated for a long time before shouting out.
"25,500 magic stones. ”
"26,000 magic stones. ”
"26,500 magic stones. ”
It can be seen that they really want the 'protection of the wind god', but the magic stone in their hands is seriously insufficient, and every time they shout a number, it is like dripping blood.
"28,500 magic stones. A blonde man, almost gritting his teeth and screaming, looked at his trembling hands, you knew how much pressure there was in his heart.
Daniel glanced at the blonde man who was still following up, and said impatiently, "30,000 magic stones, please follow, even if you have an extra one, I don't want it." ”
The other party was so angry that his face turned red, but after hesitating for a long time, he raised his hand again and again, but he didn't raise it, and finally he could only sigh and sit on the chair with his eyes looking at the sky, unable to say a word.
The auctioneer was overjoyed, this price had exceeded expectations a lot, and after asking three times in a row, he saw that no one was following the auction, so he patted the auction hammer in his hand and said, "Very good, the 'Guardian of the Wind God' was won by the professor at the price of 30,000 magic stones, and the professor is invited to come and take away the 'Guardian of the Wind God'." ”
The implication is for Daniel to hand over 30,000 magic stones now. It stands to reason that the auction can't be like this, and it will be traded privately in the background, but who made this price too outrageous.
Even if the entire academy sells out, there are only two or three people who can take it out, and Daniel is obviously not one of them.
He was afraid that Daniel would ask for a price, but in the end he didn't take it out, so he ran on it.
Thinking that if Daniel couldn't get it, he would sell the 'Wind God's Guardian' to the blonde man.
Daniel was not angry about this, and wore the wizard seed badge on his chest, and said lightly, "If I remember correctly, I can buy items at a three-fold discount." ”
Suddenly, there was a bang, and they all exchanged heads and ears, and they couldn't believe it.
Originally, it had been several months since Daniel became a wizard seed, but who made him directly kicked into the underworld by the mentor as soon as he became a wizard seed, and he didn't come out for a few months, so that people didn't even know.
"Ah......" The auctioneer was dumbfounded, shaking his hands, not knowing what to do.
Wizard Seed, the biological son of the Academy, is indeed well treated and favored by the Academy. But that's just for the college as a whole, and some places don't think so.
At least the person in charge of the academy's warehouse, every time he sees the academy's own son, it's like his father and mother are dead.
These guys are able to buy items at a 3% discount. As long as you go to the warehouse, it really costs you money, and every time you empty the warehouse. So it's no wonder that the storekeeper can see him and have a good face.
The reason why he dared to take out the 'Guardian of the Wind God' auction this time was actually the main reason that the other two wizard seeds were not in the academy, and Daniel became a wizard seed and no one knew about it, so he dared to take it out for auction.
In order to sell for a good price. In order to get a spot on the next Wizard Seed, everyone will break the bank to buy the 'Aeol's Guardian'.
Who would have thought that at such a juncture, Daniel would come back, and with the badge of the wizard seed, he auctioned off the 'Guardian of the Wind God'.
With a 3% discount on the purchase of things from wizard seeds, the 'Guardian of the Wind God' worth 30,000 yuan is now only worth 9,000 magic stones, and he has the heart to die, and he doesn't even have enough capital.
But in front of everyone's eyes, he couldn't help but give it, so he could only hand Daniel the 'Guardian of the Wind God' with trembling hands.
The others looked at Daniel with even more awe.
The own son of the academy, which one is not a predetermined wizard, becomes a real wizard, it is only a matter of time. They don't necessarily mix under Daniel, but be careful that they don't.
Daniel took over the 'Aeol's Guardian', and the rest of the people quickly left when the auction was over.
Angus also prepared to leave with a few alchemy materials he had auctioned. Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name, and he didn't pay attention to it, there are many people who have asked him to do things these years, do they have to pay attention, and whether he still wants to work.
When the other party shouted twice, he immediately reacted, how could this voice be so familiar, as if he had just heard it, not Daniel.
He turned his head in an instant and said enthusiastically, "Daniel, it's you, what's the matter with me?"
Daniel took the opportunity to look at Angus, as a master of alchemy who has been with metal ore for many years, Angus was wearing a tight-fitting protective suit, with dots of scorch marks on it, and his resolute face was full of marks left by the slag burn.
The face is full of beards, a small curly hair, all chatter, stained with all kinds of sundries, one in the east and one in the west, messy, without a little image. Only a pair of big eyes are very bright, so that people dare not underestimate them at first sight.
"That's right, I want to ask you for help, or we'll find a place to sit down and talk. ”
Angus instinctively wanted to swear, you, what the hell, and sit down to talk, tell me something, I'm busy. He's not a good-natured person, and of course there's something used to it.
Alchemy and pharmacy are both very important disciplines, and alchemy can make demonic items and increase the attack power of apprentices. Pharmacy can make potions that save lives when it matters most.
However, this is also the most talented, without that talent, no matter how hard you try, you can't achieve anything.
Therefore, every alchemist and pharmacist is very precious, and if you want them to help refine demonic items and potions, you have to grovel and plead for mercy, not to mention begging grandpa to sue grandma, it is not much worse.
As a result, they have a bad temper.
He immediately reacted that the person in front of him now was not an ordinary apprentice, but a wizard seed, Daniel, who had the title of professor, was also a very famous apothecary. Where can he be presumptuous.
"Okay, okay, you go to me. ”
Angus led the two back to where he was working and asked, "Daniel, what are you looking for me?"
"That's right, I accidentally got a few pieces of Lava Heart, and I want to find someone to help make a staff, I heard that you are the most powerful alchemist in the academy, and this is not for you. ”
"Hahaha. Angus laughed with satisfaction, complimenting him on how much he had heard, and he had long since disagreed, but who else should he divide on? Daniel's words sounded particularly pleasing to his ears.
"Of course, it's not me who blows, if I can't build it, it's useless for you to find other people in the entire academy. ”
Seeing this, Daniel took out a few pieces of Lava Hearts. Angstone's eyes widened,, you don't play like that.
Lava hearts are very precious, and the appearance of one has already caused everyone to scramble. As a result, Daniel directly took out ten pieces, not to mention just a magic staff, and it was enough to make other items.
How did he know that Daniel had directly extorted tribute from the Fire Elves for twenty years. Just look at how precious this thing is, just look at the fact that every time the Fire Elves pay tribute to an official wizard, there are only five pieces of tribute.
Almost at the speed of grabbing, he took it and took it and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass.
