55. Lord Ryan
In fact, as long as Toth ensures that his true identity is not exposed, and there are new things appearing on the magic web every moment, this small topic will not cause much trouble, and at this time, he can't help but be a little grateful to the Mage Association for the privacy protection policy of legendary mages, the guy who formulated the policy in the first place must be an interesting person.

Trading Center, a small money exchange house.
The appraiser, who was in his fifties, was carefully trying to understand its effect without destroying the integrity of the scroll, and it was obvious that this had consumed a lot of energy, and finally, the appraiser put down his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose and thought for a long time, and shook his head regretfully: "I have to admit, dear lady, the maker of this scroll has extremely exquisite magical skills, and the magic skills it displays are simply breathtaking, but we can't acquire it. ā
Celia frowned when she heard this, this was the third shop to refuse to buy the scroll, and after Toth said that she didn't have a copper plate on her body, Celia, who realized that she already belonged to the poor to some extent, volunteered to say that the responsibility of obtaining money was handed over to her, and even used [Prophecy] at the beginning, and the girl who woke up from a long slumber didn't want to miss any opportunity to communicate with people.
It's just that the liquidity of the dragon crystal has always been very poor, and it is also a gift from those giant lizards to Toth, so she decided to exchange the few magic scrolls scavenged from Toth for money, but everyone first said that this scroll was indeed rare, and then said that they were not interested in it.
Because it's rare, we're not interested?The complex business practices of humans have succeeded in confusing Celia, who is not deeply involved in the world.
Looking at Celia who was full of questions, and then at Toth, who was just playing with the blue spar in his hand, the appraiser put his gaze back on Celia and said kindly: "If this scroll is not written into the guide, we are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, but now it is an exclusive item that belongs only to one person, not to mention, the encryption method on the scroll, I have never seen it in the profession of appraiser for more than 30 years, so that it can make the mage learn [Divine Blessing] The function is also difficult to achieve, so this scroll is meaningless to us. ā
"The role of the guide is basically to enter a series of information in advance, including the non-injury circle, the scope of action, the exemption target, etc., to reduce the effective time and mental power consumption when using it, after all, these scrolls are generally used in emergency situations, you can't guarantee what the physical state is when you use it, it's best to tear it open and use it, everything has been simplified by me, and it has become something that only I can use. Toth took the old appraiser's words and explained slowly.
"As for guidance, how to say it, magic is everywhere, but only a few people can safely use its power, because they can channel this power through spiritual power, magic scrolls are also spells in theory, low-level mages can't use high-level spells, because they can't give a huge amount of target data, in case the protection target and the attack target are reversed, a flame burst hits themselves often. ā
"So you didn't stop it in the first place just to see me make jokes?" The girl's voice echoed from Toth's head, this guy who doesn't speak well likes to use mental communication every time he has a big mood swing, "Long Jing! Give it to me! I'm going to sell it, sell it cheaply!"
"No, no, no, it's still useful. Toth soothed the boyish fellow, and with such a guy by his side, he felt like he was maturing at an extraordinary rate. Sure enough, when two people live together, must one of them be the first to mature? Toth unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and said, "You can leave the rest to me." ā
"So, what does this laugh mean?" Celia's voice sounded in her head again.
Toth didn't answer again, just made a thumb and index finger circle for her, and the other three fingers straightened the gesture, Celia knew that this was no problem, but fortunately, a smile was not a big deal, and she quickly skipped it, just patiently waiting to see Toth's performance.
"Hello, Dear Mr. Lane. Toth bowed slightly to the appraiser, but it was somewhat funny that he was in tatters.
"Oh, how did you find out who I am?" The old "appraiser" raised his eyebrows, this guy who gave him a strange feeling as soon as he entered the inspection range was really a little special, and these two people who looked like they had crossed the Elven Forest, the young ones were a bit too much, and the purpose of his decision to contact them personally was only to ensure that they had no connection with what happened on the other side of the Hengduan Mountains, and the matter that could alarm the Black Dragon Maiden Sylvana was definitely extremely troublesome.
It's just that it was revealed all of a sudden, which made him a little curious: "Where did I show my mistakes?"
"This stone in my hand. Toth handed the dragon crystal over, making the old man named Ryan frown, whether it was from the magic fluctuations or the mottled imprints, all of which showed that this was a very ordinary stone, and after some research, there was no result, so he simply handed the stone back and waited for Toth's explanation.
"This is a piece of dragon crystal, a real appraiser, it is impossible not to be attracted by it, when I played with it in the first few pawn shops before, those appraisers hated to eat it, and you looked at it several times, but there was no reaction at all, and it is impossible for an appraiser of this grade of shop not to recognize this thing, so ......"
"Sure enough, when people get old, there will be negligence," the old man named Ryan laughed, "but from such a small detail, you can infer that it is really terrifying, and I can't do it, old man." ā
Thoth's heart sank, and he naturally understood what Ryan, the lord of this town, meant by his words - that alone could confirm my identity?
"Actually, it's mainly Sylvana, I heard from those people outside that she has been looking for the guide who crossed the Elven Forest for a long time, and we will run into her as soon as we come out of the forest, except for the lord who has a good personal relationship with her and has the ability to monitor the entire town, who else has this ability? From the moment I got the news, I knew that I had caught the attention of the lord of this town, and I had also brought out a rare spell scroll, and there was nothing better than pretending to be an auctioneer to observe us secretly, and the sheriff who was pointing us must have been instructed to guide us here. ā
There is also the description of the scroll, which is full of loopholes, I really thought that what I showed you was the same scroll as the previous one, and this clumsy transfiguration, the true knowledge on my eyes has not dissipated, Thoth still wants to say this, but it is just to think about it, it is rude to hide the latter speculation, and to say that these are simply my own death.
Although Toth was able to take out the magic scroll that completed the channeling and the previous explanation of the guidance was already representative of his magical attainments, after listening to these speculations, Ryan really regarded this young mage as an existence of the same level.
As a lord, his magic level can't be too low, and this kid in front of him only has the strength of a magic apprentice, but he has this kind of performance, is he hiding his strength, impossible, if the level difference between mages is not very huge, it is impossible to hide the breath, even if it is a legendary class, he can barely identify it, but now is not the time to be stunned for a long time, even if there are many doubts, he has to suppress it at this time.
"But listening to your tone, do you mean to see me?" Lord Ryan quickly gave up discussion of his hidden identity and quietly diverted the conversation elsewhere.
"As you can see, we're in a little trouble in the forest, and there's no Mage Guild here, so we're going to ask you for help. Toth didn't dwell too much on that topic, because he was asking for help, and he added some honorifics.
"Just the forest?" Mage Ryan's question was beyond Thoth's expectations, and at the same time reminded him that something was definitely going on near that forest, and he had to be extremely careful with his answers, and the truth must not be said, and if he made up, no matter how small a lie was discovered, everything he said would be meaningless, and the relationship with the Mage Guild was not so good here.
"Our teleportation spell experiment failed, the runaway dimensional passage threw us into that damn forest, and then spell overload caused spell fatigue, but luckily my useless fellow warlock didn't do much damage, but that guy lost almost all of our belongings. Thoth barely paused, venting his emotions such as complaining, unfortunately, irritability, like a mage who has failed an experiment.
Maybe it was Thoth's performance that made Lord Ryan choose to believe, or maybe Ryan took into account the forces behind Thoth, only to see that he lifted the transfiguration technique and returned to the appearance of a middle-aged mage about thirty or forty years old, and stretched out his hand in a friendly manner: "I am the lord of this town, just call me Ryan." ā
