After a not very delicious, but absolutely warm breakfast, Daddy York hurried out the door and headed for the village of Blackwood. www.biquge.info After Rason and Fili packed up their dishes, they got ready, picked up the Coral Staff, and walked to the Old Kidd Grocery Store in the downtown market of Cooktown.

Despite its name, the shop is one of the few locations in Cook Town where you can trade spell items, from basic herbs and spellcasting materials to high-end potions, scrolls, and even magical equipment. However, the shopkeepers of the past generations had a reputation for being greedy for money, and in addition to valuable spell items, they also bought and sold a large number of civilian groceries, so the style of the store has not been able to improve, maintaining the pattern of a grocery store.

When you enter the store, the first thing you see is a tall stone statue leaning against the back wall, with a height of nearly three meters, and on the counter in front of the stone statue, which is almost full of items, a gray-haired, eyed, emaciated little old man is writing calculations on the counter, looking busy.

"Uncle Kidd, business is here, don't settle your little account yet. Walking up to the little old man, Fili knocked the counter and said loudly. Because Daddy York is a friend of Kidd Sr. and a regular customer of the grocery store, Filly is very familiar with Kidd Sr. and speaks casually.

"Yo! It turns out that our genius girl Fili is here! and our first-class druid Rosen, who has been blessed by misfortune and shines, welcome. Looking up and seeing Luo Sheng and the others, Old Kidd put down the account book and said with a smile: "What do you want to buy today?"

"I have a lot of things to buy today, but I don't have any money in hand, so I need to deal with some loot first. Rason said with a smile as he placed the Coral Staff he had taken from Old Pike on the counter.

Although the little old man in front of him looked like a philistine businessman, he was actually a mage who was less than fifty years old and had good strength. And this grocery store, which has been open in Cook Town for nearly a hundred years, is also the stronghold of the 'Alpha Radiance' Chamber of Commerce under the 'Nine Ring White Tower', the largest mage organization in the Northland, and its energy is quite amazing. In his previous life, when Luo Sheng was avenging Fei Li, he had received help from Old Kidd, so when dealing with the loot, Luo Sheng was the first to find Old Kidd.

"A staff carved entirely from magical red coral!" Looking at the staff in front of him, Old Kidd was shocked, but he immediately regained his composure, and commented in a very pertinent tone: "Has this staff Old York handed over to you to deal with?" Well, the material is very good, but the magic circle is very crude and the power is average, it can be regarded as a relatively high-quality second-order magic weapon. ”

In the Ymir Continent, the classification of equipment is a very strict thing, ordinary, excellent, magical, legendary, different levels of equipment, there is a huge difference in value. Like ordinary militiamen, the ordinary long swords used by low-level mercenaries are no more than half a gold scale and five or six silver coins in the blacksmith shop. The fine long sword used by Alyssa's personal guards required at least ten golden scales to buy.

When it comes to the magic level, according to the material, power, production method, and applicable level of the equipment, the price is even more different. Also taking the longsword as an example, the most basic enchanted longsword costs no more than a hundred gold coins, and the 'Storm Rift' in the hands of Marcia, the captain of the Kingsguard of the Elson Kingdom, also belongs to the category of magic weapons, and the price of the black market bounty is more than one million gold. As for the higher-level Legendary-tier equipment, the number of public transactions is very small, and most of them are bartered, and the value is difficult to measure in terms of gold scales.

"Hehe, Uncle Kidd, I came here first for the sake of Daddy's friendship with you. If that's what you think of this staff, then I'll give it to Miss Alyssa, it's not easy to find red coral of such high quality. Luo Sheng reached out and picked up his staff, making a gesture of turning to leave, and said to Old Kidd with a smile.

As soon as Old Kidd spoke, Luo Sheng knew that Old Kidd was habitually using the methods of a businessman again. Although he is grateful for the help given to him by the other party at a critical moment in his previous life, it does not mean that Luo Sheng is willing to be the wrongdoer.

Father York's handing over the Coral Staff to Luo Sheng to deal with is itself a test of Luo Sheng's ability to deal with things, and Luo Sheng needs to prove himself. And if Luo Sheng wants to improve his strength as soon as possible, he needs to spend a lot of money. The way to make money from the villagers of Heilin Village has been abandoned, and it is impossible for Luo Sheng to give up the first pot of gold of selling loot.

"Luo Sheng, do you also have research on magic equipment?" glanced at Luo Sheng in some surprise, and Old Kidd still said calmly: "I just saw the quality of Red Coral, so I gave an evaluation of high-quality second-order magic weapons, and in terms of power alone, this staff can only be regarded as an ordinary second-order magic weapon." In this way, for the sake of old York's face, I will pay a thousand dollars to buy it. If you're still not satisfied, ask Miss Alyssa what she's willing to pay you. ”

Among the several levels of equipment, magical equipment is the most accessible and used by professionals, but it is also the most complex and difficult to distinguish easily. Generally, it can only be roughly divided into four levels according to the applicable level and power, corresponding to the four major stages of black iron, bronze, silver, and gold before the professional advanced legend.

However, because there are too many factors that affect the value, the value of magic equipment is the most difficult to estimate, and it is the most boring when buying and selling. Like now, judging from the power and production techniques, it is not outrageous that Old Kidd gave an evaluation of a second-order magic weapon, because the results of Luo Sheng's academic appraisal are also about the same.

Item Level: Mana Coral Staff, a second-order magic weapon.

Equipment requirements: 15 intelligence

Equipment Effect: +1 Intelligence, 10% increase in water spell power, Ice Arrow

Item description: A staff made of high-quality magical red coral, made with the poor craftsmanship of the Fishmen.

But the conclusion is basically the same, which doesn't mean that old Kidd didn't play tricks. The real trick of this staff lies in the raw material of the staff - high-quality magic red coral. Although Luo Sheng pointed out the key to the staff, Old Kidd didn't quite believe that Luo Sheng could understand the true value of this staff, and was more inclined to Luo Sheng to hear his first exclamation, or Old York mentioned something. So the old Kidd still didn't change his evaluation, but just offered a very tempting purchase price, trying to tempt Luo Sheng.

"Uncle Kidd still thinks I'm bluffing you? The high-grade magic red coral belongs to the third-order water magic material, which is made into a magic item, and the bonus to the holder's intelligence attribute can break through the limit of twenty-five points, and at the same time greatly increase the power of water magic. Luo Sheng injected mana into the Coral Staff, and a fine mist quickly condensed around the staff. "Uncle Kidd, don't say that this knowledge of magical materials is deceitful. ”

"I didn't see it, Luo Sheng, you have two hits!" Old Kidd was slightly stunned, and looked at Luo Sheng with some incredulity. Although the properties of Magical Red Coral are not very advanced, they are not something that can be easily known by apprentice-level spellcasters. And watching Luo Sheng's method of demonstrating the quality of red coral, it is obvious that he has a very thorough and comprehensive grasp of this knowledge, and he is not a rigid copy from a book, which is very remarkable.

"But while you're right, it still doesn't change the fact that the staff is a second-order magic weapon. Luo Sheng, do you have any reason for me to increase the price?" Half of them wanted to test Luo Sheng's true level, and half of them were unwilling to break the bank, Old Kidd continued to ask in a joking tone while stroking the staff.

"As far as I know, the Nine Rings White Tower has equipment recasting technology. Luo Sheng said lightly.

"Luo Sheng, you know so much!" Old Kidd's hand that was stroking the staff trembled slightly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since Luo Sheng knew about the existence of equipment reforging technology, it was no longer realistic to want to use the price of a second-order magic weapon to take this staff.

The so-called equipment reforging technology is to optimize or re-engrave the magic circles and runes on the magic equipment without destroying the material of the equipment itself. This technique is generally used to transform captured loot, on the one hand, it can make better use of the characteristics of the magic material itself, and on the other hand, it can make the equipment more suitable for the needs of the new owner.

Although this technique has many limitations, it is undoubtedly a good fit for the red coral staff in front of you. After reforging, Red Coral's magical properties will be fully utilized, not only providing the wielder with a more powerful intelligence bonus, but also engrave four rings or even five rings of water spells, increasing the value by more than ten times.

"Tell me the price you want to sell. First of all, the cost of equipment reforge is amazingly expensive, and the final effect has a certain randomness, so if you ask too much, I won't buy this staff. "If Luo Sheng didn't know this information that would increase the value of the staff, then there was nothing wrong with Old Kidd buying the staff for a thousand gold. After all, knowledge is money, and if you don't have this insight, you can only get basic benefits, and the old Kidd who benefits belongs to 'picking up leaks'. But when Luo Sheng pointed out all the key points, Old Kidd had no room to 'pick up leaks', and he had to negotiate business with Luo Sheng according to the value-added staff.

"Six thousand gold scales. Luo Sheng calmly broke out a number that made Fili and old Kidd not calm.

"Boy, you're dreaming! Do you know how hard it is to find someone to reforge it forge? How much does it cost to reforge once? Some of the finished third-order staff are sold for less than 10,000 gold, and you want me to 6,000!" Old Kidd jumped to his feet and shouted, "Take the staff away! I can't afford it!"

"Uncle Kidd, are you sure you want me to take it? I'll wait a while at most, and ask my dad to take me to the county town and sell the staff to the 'Arcane Radiance' branch there, but Uncle Kidd, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get a third-order staff in your lifetime. Luo Sheng took the staff and said with a smile: "And those basic third-order staffs, can they be compared to the water staff made entirely of magical red coral? This is a material that can engrave ice storms and ice barriers!"

"What if I can't find someone to reforge me?" said Old Kidd, still a little reluctantly.

"I believe that with Uncle Kidd's connections, it will be absolutely fine to find someone to reforge. Luo Sheng said very firmly. As a veteran member of the Alpha Radiance, Old Kidd has quite a lot of connections in the organization, and it is definitely not difficult to find someone to reforge a piece of equipment, and the price will not be too expensive.

"Whatever you say, I'll give you up to five thousand gold. And I don't have that much cash!" Seeing that the excuses were vetoed by Luo Sheng one by one, Old Kidd snorted angrily and showed his bottom line. Although he was reluctant to use this staff that suited him perfectly, Old Kidd never wanted to pay that much money.

"Five thousand is five thousand. Looking at Old Kidd, who was like an old child, Luo Sheng took out a list and handed it over, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't have cash." Give me all the things on this list, even if it is 3,000 gold. You can get me another thousand gold in cash, and the remaining thousand gold, and it will not be too late to give it to me when you have enough money. ”

"Your dad is not as difficult as you!" After reading Luo Shenglie's list, Old Kidd's expression became extremely entangled, and after a long time, he nodded fiercely: "Let's make a deal!"
