18. Belmar's street signs and profiteers
After more than a day's flight, Jill was neither long nor short, and by the time he arrived in Belmar, Jill had already had a good conversation with Ofande, and Jill found that he could rely on the knowledge that Toth had left in his carrier pigeons, and Ofan, who was a mid-level mage, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized how important what Toth had given him.

Toth looked at Jill, and then at the two little Lori, Avril was telling her new friend not much older than her about the magic of turning pumpkins into carriages, even the eldest lady of the Tchaikov family, who was from a prominent background, had never heard such a story, and with the help of the new story, the two little people quickly became acquainted.
Jill was going to the Academy of Magic with Avril, and Offt was on the same path as his sister, so not long after getting off the airship, Toth said hello to Jill and the others, and left alone.
I found a trading house nearby and exchanged the small amount of Quintalo in my hand for a magic crystal, a kind of currency that circulated in Belmar and was known as a hard currency that would not depreciate even if the city disappeared. It's not that it can go against the laws of the market, it's just that the value of the magic crystal itself is here, even if it is not used as currency, its price is not much different from the exchange rate.
"This kind of domed building with white everywhere is really ugly. Having rejected at least three guides, Toth complained about the architectural style and confidently walked towards the Mage Guild - the tallest building in the middle of the city would make a fool get lost.
"Hey, fool, why don't you go, tell you not to say hello in advance, or listen to the book, go left. The magic book that shrank to the size of a thumb and hung around Toth's neck laughed unscrupulously in his mind, and Toth's face was already stinking anymore, God knows what the builders of this city thought, and they were crazy to regard the city as part of the magic array, isn't it enough to draw a few figures with fish oil and beast blood, what is it to continue to enter a city. As a result, Thoth, who was born with all kinds of magic formations, successfully got lost.
In fact, even if there is no magic array, Toth is enough to find the Mage Association, can you imagine, at the end of the road is a five-story small building, you climb three floors from here, and the door is another big road, looking for someone to ask for directions, in addition to the east, west, north and south, and from time to time pop out a sentence and go up six meters, you heard it right, go up, anyway, Toth has already regretted his refusal to guide the behavior, although their asking price of thirty magic crystals is indeed a bit dark.
"Another apprentice in a small place," the fat mage with his female companion in his arms looked at Toth who asked him for directions, looking high, "Boy, I've never seen such a big city, our Belmar is a holy place for all magicians!"
"Calm down, just ask, who let us not recognize the way. The magic book hurriedly persuaded Toth, who was already going crazy, he knew that Toth could use less magic power now, but the spiritual power was still there, if he didn't hold back and gave this underwhelmed mage a mental shock, it would 100% trigger the alarm, and the huge magic array over the city was not a decoration.
"Belmar will never let a real mage get lost!" Before Toth could say where he was going, the fat mage puffed up his stomach proudly and continued: "Do you see that little sign, connect it with mental power, you know all the places you want to go in Belmar, do you need me to teach you how to use mental power as a young apprentice?"
Although what the fat mage said made people have the urge to beat him, but he pointed out the method, compared to the few mages who looked at him with the eyes of the mentally handicapped but didn't say anything, I don't know where to go, looking at the two backs of a fat and a thin one, Toth despised the aborigines of Belmar and then spread out his spiritual power and plunged into the sign pointed by the fat mage, and then was surprised to find that dense and colorful lines appeared in his field of vision!
Each strip of light is marked with a marked destination, and the inventor of this thing has sketched the Belmar in the map with a whimsical idea, the most conspicuous of which is the Mage Guild, Master Mar's Mage Tower.
"In the future, the town of La Verne will have to get this thing. Thoth, who was following the direction to the destination, said to the magic book as he walked: "Those mages should remember their mental fluctuations, and drag them all into the blacklist when the signs are ready!"
"Good, good. Looking at the more and more naïve buddy in front of him, the magician didn't care about it.
Getting closer and closer to the Mage Guild, there are gradually more people, many small shops along the street that buy and sell all kinds of magical items are constantly coming and going, and there are also some people who look poor and sour in the alleys between the houses setting up stalls, and everyone exudes not weak magic fluctuations. I've heard that these stalls can buy everything from artifacts to scrap metal, and it's still early in the morning, and Toth wants to see what's unusual about the stalls, which are known as one of the ten things to do in Belmar.
Because there is no magic fluctuation, Toth, who has gathered his mental power, looks no different from an ordinary magic apprentice, this kind of person is also the fat sheep that stall owners like the most, a little money, and the experience is still shallow, and he can not find the north in a few words, and he can use a piece of scrap iron as an artifact. Sure enough, the moment Toth stepped into the alleyway, he felt that at least thirty percent of the stall owners were paying attention to him.
Patrolling the stalls set up in pieces, there are many people squatting in front of the stalls to choose, but there are no good things, this is also for sure, after all, this kind of stall, there are always few surprises, I didn't find anything that interested him, I shook my head a little unhappily and was ready to leave, suddenly, I saw a strange thing on a stall of about two meters, and the familiar atmosphere made him recognize it as a fragment of an artifact at once.
The stall owner didn't seem to know the value of the thing, so he put it with some garbage, and stared at other things that looked valuable, as if he was afraid that someone would steal them while he wasn't looking.
Pretending to be casual, he looked at the two stalls nearby, took a few things and asked the price, and naturally came to the stall that interested him, and did not pick up the thing directly, but pointed to a very ordinary staff set and asked, "How much is this?"
"This is a high-grade staff set made by elves, which can better protect the staff, only twenty magic crystals, or ten honor points. "Although the first few stalls are dark, they are not too expensive, and the price here is at least five times higher, which makes Toth scold the profiteers in his heart.
"And what about this?" asked as he gestured to something that looked valuable next to the artifact fragment.
After asking the price, Toth felt the stall owner's eyes light up a little when he looked at him, and when he looked closely, the mage had lowered his head and his face was expressionless.
"A masterpiece of Master Michelan, a perfect craft, nine hundred and eight honor points. The mage didn't raise his head to make an introduction, as if this thing had nothing to do with him.
"It's so expensive," Toth frowned, pretending to want to buy it but feeling that the price was a little high, "I really like this thing, can it be cheaper?"
"Little brother, everything I sell here is a penny, and I can't make much money. The mage finally raised his head, pointed to a few things, including artifact fragments, and said with a sincere look: "I think you really like it, little brother, so let's do it, these things are not too valuable, you can take one of them and make it for me." ”
"Okay, I'll give you a thousand. ”
"No, give me a hundred thousand!"
Hearing this, Thoth, who had already picked up the artifact fragment, couldn't help but look at the mage who was setting up the stall for a few seconds, and then the two of them laughed at the same time.
"What a profiteer!"
"Each other, each other!"
100,000 honor points, compared to the average price of the market, is indeed a bit high, but this thing has always been priceless, and the effect of each piece is different, no one knows what this artifact fragment is for, in case it is the kind that can be smelted into weapons and equipment, then it will be earned. And he didn't say what it was, and the mage didn't mention it, obviously both of them had bad intentions.
He was testing this mage, and this mage was also testing himself, and Toth was sure that this mage had found out that his spirit had escaped when he was probing the object, and he could see from the mage's smile that if he didn't test this sentence at the last minute, he would probably be empty of the white wolf by this seemingly sincere mage.
"By the way, a couple of guys who want to pick up cheap bought a few rocks from me, so you'd better not wander around here. The mage, who was about to pack up and leave as soon as he had sold the shards, took the time to say something to him, making Thoth more sure of his guess.
"I'm Nikolai, and it always feels like we're going to see each other again. "Toth let out all the spiritual fluctuations, and the momentum of the high-level mage instantly swept through the entire aisle.
"Nikolai? It's like the name of those spiders. The mage who was packing up his things muttered quietly, and then said, "I'm Nicholas, and I'll invite you to drink next time." ”
"I'm my real name!" Hearing the perfunctory Tot, he pouted helplessly, signaling that he was sincere.
"Each other!" the mage grinned, opened himself an arbitrary door that only a high-level mage could use, jumped in and disappeared.
