Chapter 27 The Role of Packaging

Getting to the point, Clark first made a request to buy a scroll of artifice. The purchase price is 10 gold coins for the first level scroll, 30 gold coins for the second level scroll, 90 gold coins for the third level scroll, and so on. It's a pretty reasonable price, but it's only available for level one to five reels. A sixth-level magic scroll can easily cost tens of thousands of gold coins, and a seventh-level scroll can't be bought even if you have money.

Regular Divine Scrolls can only be activated by clerics, which makes them much less applicable. The Bloodstained Land is a place that is not favored by the gods, where can you find a priest?

Therefore, whether it is a thief group or a slave catcher team, once they are injured in battle, they can only use holy water, potions and other recovery products to assist in treatment. Ordinary recovery products are far less effective than divine arts, and their prices are not cheap. As for those high-grade recovery products whose effects are comparable to divine arts, or even exceed those of ordinary divine arts, even ordinary nobles can't afford to use them.

So, the tainted scrolls provided by Richard were sold for an unbelievably high price.

Tifman was also interested in the tainted scrolls, but he only needed a level 4 of powerful healing, and offered a price of three hundred gold coins for each scroll.

Richard thought for a moment and agreed with their trading terms. Eventually, he sold Tilman twenty fourth-level scrolls, and then another fifty third-level scrolls and twenty fourth-level scrolls to Clark. This transaction alone brought Richard tens of thousands of gold coins in income.

After the transaction was completed, the relationship between the people naturally became much more harmonious. After seeing those tainted scrolls, everyone recognized Richard's strength. If it was just a few scrolls, it was possible that he had acquired them unintentionally, and the amount in front of him would only come from the forces behind him.

The four words of defiling the divine art themselves imply great strength, and the inevitable revenge that will come after being offended.

Clearly, Tiffman was happy with the deal. It is normal for a high-ranking merchant group like him to have his own slave hunting team in private. With these scrolls, his team's combat power will skyrocket, allowing them to penetrate into alien lands and capture rare creatures that can sell for a great price.

Tiffman raised his glass to Richard and smiled, "Mr. Richard, I hope we can make more deals in the future." Old Amman has a lot of magical materials, and Mr. Bilier can get his hands on a lot of minerals, which will definitely surprise you!Also, if you're interested, welcome to my slave camp. Maybe you'll find something you're looking for?"

Slave camps?

Richard's heart moved, and he smiled and asked, "What kind of slaves can Mr. Tifman provide?"

"Whatever you want, you can find all the races that have appeared in the Bloodstained Lands in my slave camp!" Tifman waved his hand confidently, and then said mysteriously, "Besides, I have a shipment of 'interesting' goods in my hand, if you are interested, you can go and check it out tonight." ”

Richard pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Tiffman, I want to buy a batch of slaves to form a convoy, do you have any suggestions?"

A gleam flashed in Tiffman's eyes, and he replied, "If it's a small or medium-sized army of less than five hundred, my advice is the Sandmen. In an environment like the Bloodstained Lands, they are as nimble as fish swimming in water. If it's the kind of squad that needs to highlight individual combat ability, then the headhunter tribe among the orcs is a good choice. In the end, the barbarians of the Snow Peak tribe are the best candidates for personal guards, every adult barbarian warrior has a tenth-level strength, and their only drawback is that it is too expensive, haha!"

Tiffman tells a bad joke, but the people at the dinner table are laughing happily, which is also a reflection of his status.

In addition, Tiffman also sent out a test in the introduction just now, hoping to judge the size of Richard's troops and the area of operation in the future. However, Richard kept a graceful smile and did not respond.

Then Tifman called in a tall barbarian warrior and said, "His name is Zagu, and he is one of my personal bodyguards. ”

Richard put two scouts on Zagu, and then circled him several times, pinching the barbarian's body from time to time. Zagu was furious, but resisted the seizure.

After some examination, Richard already had a preliminary understanding of the barbarian race.

Barbarians are natural warriors and can easily cross the tenth-level mark. They have outstanding strength, but it is difficult for them to cultivate their fighting spirit, and they do not have their own inheritance techniques. Therefore, a barbarian warrior like Zagu seems to be powerful, but there is little room for improvement, and it is not worth investing in at all.

Richard waved his hand to let Zagu go, and then asked a question: "Mr. Tifman, Zagu is indeed a good guard. But he was born as a slave after all, so how can you guarantee his loyalty?"

"The barbarians of the Snow Peak tribe revere their ancestors like gods, and as long as they swear allegiance in the name of their ancestors, they will not betray. Tiffman explained with a smile, and then said, "But their prices are also high. A barbarian boy with potential can sell thousands of gold coins, but an excellent guard like Zagu won't sell it even if he gives me two thousand gold coins!"

Richard banged on the table and thought for a moment, then made up his mind and made an appointment with Tiffman to visit the slave camp tomorrow.

Seeing that their conversation was over, Billier, a mineral merchant introduced by Tifman, said to Richard: "Mr. Richard, I have heard that you are a respectable magician, and magicians always bring us many surprises. Do you have any other goods to sell besides the Divine Scrolls, as long as the things are good enough, gold is not a problem. ”

Richard smiled and said, "I happen to have something here, I can ask you to identify it." ”

He gestured to Minnie Mouse behind him, and the girl took out a sealed box and carefully placed it on the table. Everyone present had a good eye, and immediately found that the sealing box was inlaid with a gemstone worth a thousand gold.

According to Richard's idea, the purpose of this magic box is actually to provide an objective standard for judging the value of those who have never seen a magic pattern structure. Even the box containing the goods is worth more than a thousand gold coins, so how can the contents be worth four or five times as much? This is the way most people think.

The room fell silent for a moment, and people held their breath and stared at the box to see what precious magical items it contained.

Richard put on his gloves and opened the sealed box with graceful movements.

A brilliant light and shadow burst out of the box, forming a clenched fist in the air. After seeing this fist, everyone present felt a strong aura in their faces.

At this time, even Richard himself began to wonder if the box contained a powerful third-order structure. Obviously, the light and shadow effects created by Reilly conquered everyone present.

Yesterday, when he saw Reilly drawing these flashy magic arrays in the sealed box, Richard also asked him about his intentions. The latter did not answer his question directly, but said meaningfully: "There are no useless spells, only incompetent mages." ”

Today, the expressions of Tiffman and the others told Richard something. That was a few magic circles that Reilly had casually drawn that cost less than a hundred gold coins, which were more useful than the magic sealing box worth a thousand gold coins that he had carefully made!

Reilly, who was born on Earth, certainly knew more about the art of packaging than Richard, although he had never done sales.

After the light and shadow effects dissipated, the magic pattern structure in the box appeared in front of people's eyes. Although no one knew what this hide was for, most of them recognized it as the skin of a thunderbolt lizard. Of course, the magic crystal embedded in the center could not escape the eyes of these people. However, the magic circle drawn on the animal skin was not something they could understand.

Clark looked at it the longest and most carefully. Although he didn't understand the efficacy and principle of this magic array, he knew very well what this magic array represented. In Clark's life, he had only seen two or three magic arrays of this level, and they were the masterpieces of the Grand Magus. He sat back in his seat, then exhaled a heavy breath and said in a deep voice, "Masterwork!"

Amman exchanged a look with Clarke, then asked, "Mr. Richard, what is the specific effect of this masterpiece?"

"It's called the Magic Pattern Fabric, and it can be implanted into the human body, relying on the energy of the Magic Crystal to maintain its work. When this construct is activated, the user's strength is increased by about 15%. With each activation, the effect lasts for five minutes. In addition, the build itself has an overclocking function, which can increase its performance by half in three minutes! If you use up all three minutes, it's completely damaged. Richard introduced.

The people fell into deep thought, contemplating the role of the Magic Pattern Formation. Amman suddenly trembled and asked cautiously, "This...... Does the Demonic Pattern Construct also have an effect on the powerhouses of the Sacred Domain level?"

"Of course!" Richard replied, "The Demon Pattern Construct is just as effective against the Legendary Strong!" and then added in his heart: Not to mention the shrunken version of the Sanctuary you have here?

Hearing these words, everyone affirmed that there was a legendary powerhouse standing behind Richard. Otherwise, how could he dare to guarantee that the Demon Pattern Construct would be effective against the Legendary Powerhouse?

"So, does this construct clash with other magical equipment?" Amman trembled even more.

Tiffman suddenly shouted, "I bought this!" as he reached for the box.

However, Amman took Tiffman's wrist, stared into his eyes, and said word by word, "Luofu needs this very much." ”

Luofu is the younger brother of the Marquis of Anlek, and the only "Sanctuary" powerhouse in the Blue Water Oasis. When his strength reaches his level, it becomes very difficult to improve. A 15% increase in strength will give him a substantial boost in combat effectiveness.

However, Tiffman was clearly not intimidated by Luofu's name, and the Golden Banner did not need to fear the power of the Marquis of Anlek. He sneered and said, "Luofu's enemies also need this!"

"But this thing is useless to you!" Amman's face was extremely serious.

"Otherwise, you can ask Master Trey. If he's willing to give up this thing, I don't have anything to say. ”

Amman's face changed and he looked a little uneasy. Trey is the deputy head of the Golden Banner and the head of the slave business. Luo Fu certainly didn't want to be an enemy with this seventeenth-level berserker.

Billier, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly said to Richard: "It is indeed a good thing, you can make a price!"

Tiffman and Amman were stunned for a moment, then cast sharp eyes on Billier and said in unison, "Do you want to be involved?"

"Why not?" said Billier, who was unrelenting, a very rare thing. You must know that the forces behind him are not comparable to the Marquis of Anlek or the Golden Banner at all. But Billier's next sentence made Tifman and Amman change their faces at the same time: "General Li Shilongtu is preparing to conquer the Dragon Cultists on a large scale, he must need this costume very much!"

Marquis Li Shilongtu is a famous general of the Iron Triangle Empire, who has rarely been defeated in his life, and his personal strength has also reached the seventeenth level. No one expected that Billier would quietly catch this line.

However, the distance between the Iron Triangle Empire and the Bloodstained Lands is a bit far, and there are two principalities in between, so Tifman and Amman are not too afraid of Li Shilongtu.

Finally, Tiffman slapped the table hard and yelled at Richard, "Fifty thousand gold coins!"

Seeing this, Amman was not in a hurry, he leaned back in his chair and said lightly: "Sixty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!" Bilier was in no way inferior to the other two.

"Eighty thousand, do you have that much cash?" said Tiffman, mocking.

Billier's face changed slightly, he snorted, and said, "I still have five kilograms of Mithril in my hand!"

"Ninety thousand!" Amman remained calm and unhurriedly raised the price.

Sweat was already pouring from Tiffman's face, and he smirked and said to Richard, "Mr. Richard, you can just make a bid, no matter how much, I want this thing!"

Richard thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll make a bid." ”

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the room immediately became tense. In addition to the three people currently participating in the bidding, there are two other people whose faces are also changing, as if they want to make a move. Richard remained silent, taking everyone's expressions into his eyes. He gestured to Minnie Mouse behind him, and the girl took out four more sealing boxes and opened them in front of everyone's eyes, revealing four identical configurations.

The people in the room were stunned for a moment, then became more agitated. The undercurrent was surging, and everyone became a little eager to try. Since there were five pieces, everyone felt that they should get one back. There are a lot of gold coins, but there are very few "Sanctuary" powerhouses, and the people sitting in this room can basically have something to do with a certain "Sanctuary" powerhouse.

Richard held down the table, swept his gaze over everyone's faces, and then said, "There are a total of five pieces here, each of which costs only 30,000 gold coins!"

"What?" everyone thought there was something wrong with their ears.

Just now, the first construction has already called for 90,000 gold coins. And with the power behind these people, the final transaction price may even exceed 300,000. In the Faro plane, if you want to buy this kind of magical equipment that can improve the combat effectiveness of the powerhouses of the "Sanctuary", you often have to sign various additional contracts with the supplier. Now, Richard offers a Magic Pattern Construct that can be purchased for a few gold coins. For them, this is already a huge bargain.

Bilier was the first to react and immediately shouted, "One hundred thousand!"

"120,000!" "150,000!"

It was another new round of competition, and the value of these structures instantly exceeded the 200,000 mark.

Richard smiled wryly and made a silent gesture before the group fell silent and stared at him with burning eyes.

"We still have a long way to go, and there will be more frames in the bloodstained lands in the future. Therefore, the batch of constructs in front of me only costs 150,000 gold coins. As for the part after 150,000, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Everyone had different expressions, and they all had their own understandings of Richard's approach.

After a heated round of negotiations, Amman and Tiffman each received two builds, Billier took the remaining one, and the other two would-be bidders were compensated somewhat.

Before the meal was finished, a total of 160,000 gold coins were sent to Richard, fully demonstrating the efficiency of the merchants in the Bloodstained Lands.
