Chapter 64: The Correct Posture for Selling Stolen Goods
Hail was the first level 4 spell Lukka learned in his mage career. Mastering this magic www.biquge.info consumed the two largest gems he possessed, and the ruby and emerald were reduced to dust.
Although he didn't know what the use of keeping it was, Lukka collected the dust, wrapped it carefully, and asked Daniel to get him a cabinet in the captain's room to store as a souvenir.
This is the wreckage of a small amount of money!, Luca closed the door of the cupboard, and sighed in his heart.
The only one tourmaline stone left, the cheapest of the four gemstones, is not very large. Unexpectedly, this stone, which is about the same color as a watermelon, actually allowed Luca to successfully master two magic spells before it was shattered into slag.
"Buy more tourmaline in the future!" Lukka said as he labeled the bag of tourmaline dust.
"Idiot, that's because the two magic skills you practiced are not very high!" he said, tilting his head, if it weren't for the parrot's hard beak, this guy would have pouted by now.
The two spells that Lukka later mastered were indeed not of a high level.
One is the third-level mirror technique of the illusion system, and the name of this spell reminds him of the move of the mage in a certain game, which is the ultimate move when DPS explodes.
However, after learning it, Luca was disappointed. This mirror image doesn't even have any actual lethality! It doesn't replicate the attack of the main body, and it can't be used as a punching bag, it's just a phantom floating next to it.
If I want this effect, can't I just take a mirror? It's still a third-level spell. Luca felt badly cheated.
Fortunately, the other spell he learned was more practical.
The Mage's Hand, a level 1 spell that can move lighter items at will. The maximum weight of the object to be moved cannot exceed the weight that Luka himself can carry. It doesn't sound like it's very useful, but you can use this to move things, and your hands are not tired, your waist is not sore, and your legs are not painful.
Ever since he learned this, Lukka didn't even bother to get his own toothbrush, until one day he inspected his magic pool.
After absorbing that mana source, the mana pool was almost full and about to overflow, according to Shut Up, it was because Luca's level was too low and the mana pool capacity was not large enough. The feeling of abundance was so pleasant, and every time Lukka meditated, it was no longer a pitiful increase in reserves, and now he could clearly feel his abundant mana replenishment.
This first-level spell consumes almost negligible mana, and you can't see any changes in the mana pool after using it a few times. So, not only brushing his teeth, washing his face and getting dressed, but even lifting the spice bottle Luca when stir-frying, he didn't bother to do it himself.
After a few days of tossing and turning, when Lukka remembered to check it again, he found that the mana pool was actually a third empty.
Gather sand into a tower, ah, this is. He finally realized his absurdity.
"The necessary stage of a rookie magician, I want to solve all trivial matters with magic. Shut up and commented on the side.
After this, Lukka relented a lot, just refreshed under the mental starry sky - there was no actual drain on the mana pool when using spells.
He could only "review" spells, and he didn't have a single gem in his hand, and even if Lukka wanted to take the risk, he would not turn it into a magic book by shutting up.
So, after grabbing the seventh pirate ship with only supplies and no silver coins, Lukka couldn't help it.
Looking at the captain who had released hail into the sea three times in a row to vent his anger, Crete reminded slowly: "Captain, we seem to have two boxes of flannel in the bilge. ”
"Flannel, how much can you sell for those two boxes that you brought back from the Sea Dog?" Luka's eyes lit up, he guessed that this thing would not be too valuable, but no matter how few silver coins it was, it would be a small amount of money.
"It's not a big deal how much to sell, the problem now is that we don't have a place to sell it!" Ollie leaned against the railing, taking a bite of an apple in her hand, the fruit of the pirate ship was still fresh.
"Why is that?"
"Do you have a license to do business?" asked Ollie.
"And what about this? Do the other pirates have this certificate?, and how did they exchange the loot for silver coins?" Lukka swallowed as he looked at the apple.
"Why do you think Black Sail is so powerful? Why do almost all the independent pirates have to look at their faces? Aren't they the ones who have a monopoly on the sale of the stolen goods?"
"Originally, I thought that they sold the goods through the black market, but now it seems that the empire has bought a lot of stolen goods at a low price. Crete basically agreed with Ollie.
"Didn't we smash these two boxes of fabric in our hands?" Lukka said helplessly.
"Not really. I just thought of a solution, that is, the price may not be too good. Ollie said as she pulled out another apple, "Do you remember Al the Golden Tooth?"
"Remember, isn't he retired?"
"Well, he bought the shop before he retired, right in Twilight. If you want me to say, if you dare to accept your goods, it is estimated that there is no one else in the entire Sunset Islands except him. Ollie wiped the apple clean and reached out and handed it to Luca...... Next to Nora.
"I didn't think that fat man could be so daring!" Lukka had a hard time associating the image of the Golden Tooth with the word guts.
"There is probably no one more courageous than the Golden Tooth in the face of silver coins. Ollie said with a smile.
"No, as long as I have silver coins, I'm more daring than him!" Lukka resolutely defended his image.
"Yes, look at you, you owe us two months' wages again, you know?" said Ollie, holding out his hand.
Luca was sweating on his head: "Didn't you let you take a stake last time?"
"Yes, the six hundred are in the shares, and now I've fought several times, I remember them all!" Ollie said, pulling out a small notebook.
"You don't know how poor I am, so let's remember it first, and let's go to Twilight. Lukka said this, but he was not optimistic about this trip to Twilight.
Al, Lukka had only been in contact for a few days, but he was sure that if he didn't pull a few layers of skin from his two boxes of goods, he would be sorry for his big gold teeth.
And even if the goods can be sold through the gold tooth, these two boxes of cloth probably won't sell for many silver coins, and it is estimated that even Ollie's wages will not be enough to pay.
Moreover, the incident of Layton Island had already spread among the islands under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, and now almost every island has been strengthened, and it is much more difficult to touch it casually than before.
But in any case, at least a little glitter of small money can be seen in this direction, which is better than just trying your luck at sea.
"Let's go, to Twilight!" Lukka said with a wave of his hand to Daniel.
