342, Snow Song
To value an item, it is necessary to have a market transaction price of the same kind behind it as a reference, and the premise is that there is such a market.
For example, why can Dongguo porcelain from 300 years ago be fried in the collection market? It is precisely because it has a large enough surviving volume and a large enough trading volume that it can establish basic evaluation criteria and form a trading market. Then someone will come up with all kinds of ways to hype, and the initiator is often a large number of high-end hoarders in their hands.
Three thousand years ago, why can't the Eastern bronzes be hyped? Either way, they're much more precious than those porcelain! But they are too small to exist, and they are legally forbidden to trade to form a market.
This kind of thing is very precious and rare, it is almost impossible to calculate the cost, and it is also difficult to estimate it. In the Kunlun cultivation world, there has never been a formed talisman trading market since ancient times, and even if there is occasional trading or exchange, it is only a scattered act in private.
The seniors refined the talismans, mainly for the younger disciples to defend themselves. The prerequisites for using talismans are very harsh, and cultivation must reach at least four realms, and it is even more difficult to refine talismans.
Theoretically, talismans are a branch of instrument law, and talismans are not much more difficult than apparatus, but spells can be used almost permanently, and talismans are only disposable items.
The materials for making talismans are very precious, and the processing is not easy, but the most difficult step is to seal the magic spell in the talisman, this step can be accidental, and if it is not well controlled, it will hurt itself, so this thing is destined to not be mass-produced.
Dingfeng Pond has been inherited for thousands of years, and as of the date of its sudden destruction, the ancestors of the past dynasties have only saved two hundred and sixteen treasury-level talismans, which is the result of the search of the Kunlun League masters in the ruins of the dojo.
The so-called treasury level refers to the talisman that is at least refined by a Dacheng monk, and even if the average junior disciple can cast the same spell himself, its power is far less.
There are two more features of the talisman. One is that the talisman of unknown origin does not dare to be used easily, even if you put two kicks, you have to guard against the bomber, let alone something so powerful? Second, even if it is the same talisman, its power may be very different.
For example, the Light Splitting Sword Talisman of the Zhengyi Sect, which is refined by the Supreme Elder and the Blade Sword Immortal, can it be the same as that refined by the junior disciple Guangren Zhenren? Even if it is refined by the same person, it is equivalent to launching a blow of the splitting sword technique by himself, so whether this blow makes three percent of the force or seven percent of the force, the difference is also very big.
Therefore, it is difficult to value this thing. But there is another thing in the world, similar to the talisman, and someone can give it a rough estimate, and this kind of thing is the magic scroll.
The characteristics of the scroll are theoretically similar to those of the talisman, but the "Gambisting System" has existed for a long time in history, and the magicians within this system often have various transactions.
Over time, some specific and commonly used magic scrolls also have a certain standardized characteristic, the type and power of the seal are relatively fixed, and there is also the credit endorsement of the magician group of the Gambisting or a certain magician family.
The things exchanged by the scrolls can be another standardized scroll, or they can be other cultivation resources, and sometimes even assets in reality, such as land, manors, slaves, gold coins, titles, exemption levels, etc., and over time, a market system within the magician has also been formed.
Outsiders don't know about this trading market, but Lian Na is knowledgeable, and she is the only one on Hua Zhenxing's side who knows it, not even Locke.
How do you value the batch of talismans that were used yesterday? Fortunately, those talismans were already in use, which could tell Lian Na the type of spell and the approximate power of her seal, and then Lian Na could refer to similar scrolls for her valuation.
The compensation or reward given by Gambisting may not necessarily be cash, but it may also be other materials, and at this time, it must be valued accordingly, and the only expert here is also Lianna.
During the tea, everyone had a small meeting and decided to invite Lian Na over tomorrow afternoon, and then Hua Zhenxing remembered one more thing, and took out a stack of talismans and put them on the table.
He frowned and said, "The talisman left by Mentor Shi Shuangcheng, I still have these here." In the inventory of Yangyuan Valley, there are more than 200 talismans left by Dingfeng Pond back then. Count the situation in various places and send it down just in case. ”
Sima Value: "These things are not easy to come by, do you have to use them all?" ”
Hua Zhenxing: "According to the situation, all the distribution does not mean that all of them will be used. Our most valuable resource is people, the cadre team, not these things. ”
Sima Zhi reminded: "You must have at least four realms of cultivation before you can use the talisman. And this batch of talismans is a bit too powerful for them, the talisman talisman is fine, but the spell attack talisman is not easy to control, and there is a possibility of accidental injury. ”
This is not bad, there are only dozens of fourth-level students trained by Yangyuan Valley now, the number is really not enough, and these dozens of people are not good at spells, which also has an impact on the use of talismans.
For example, Hua Zhenxing used the light splitting sword talisman of Zhengyimen, because he himself didn't know how to split the light sword, and because the power of the talisman was too great, it was a little reluctant to control it, and then it was replaced by the spring rain talisman of Dingfeng Pond, and he felt completely free.
Chief Instructor Hua Zhenxing is still like this, if the Light Splitting Sword Talisman is distributed to an ordinary fourth-level student, I am afraid that it will not be used well, and it may even stab the basket if it is used indiscriminately.
Hua Zhenxing thought for a while: "Distribute it according to the needs and actual situation, some talismans are not good for them to use, but you mentors should be able to use them well, and your safety is more important." ”
According to his meaning, some talismans with high requirements were distributed to teachers with higher cultivation levels, including the original Fengtan monks like Sima Zhi, as well as Wang Fengshou, Shen Sishu, Li Jingzhi, Locke, Lian Na, Man Man and others.
Sima Value: "Who can do anything to us?" ”
Hua Zhenxing: "This is an inaccurate thing, think about what happened today, suddenly a great magician popped out, do you say scary or not?" ”
Man Man actually sighed, held the teacup and said, "Actually, we should also learn to refine talismans by ourselves, we can't always consume inventory." ”
Hua Zhenxing also sighed: "Even if our group of mentors have learned the talisman and can refine all kinds of talismans, the power is not great enough, at least it is not at the treasury level." ”
Manman: "Just keep those Level 4 students for self-defense." ”
The power of the talisman lies in the person who refines the talisman, and there are usually three to seventy percent of the sayings. For example, Hua Zhenxing's refining of the Spring Rain Talisman requires that the minimum requirement is equivalent to thirty percent of the power of his own Spring Rain Sword's full blow, and usually only seventy percent of the power at most.
The Spring Rain Talisman in the inventory of the Dingfeng Tan Sect was left by the previous generation of ancestors, and they were basically refined by Dacheng monks, and their power was much stronger than Hua Zhenxing's own Spring Rain Sword.
Therefore, even if Hua Zhenxing and the others can refine the talisman, the power is far worse than the talisman in stock today. However, Manman thought that it was just right, and it was suitable for those fourth-level students, provided that they could be refined by these mentors.
Sima Wei shook his head slightly and said: "The talisman should not be given lightly, not to mention that it is precious and rare, but it is also condensed by the hard work of the elder." The younger disciples are afraid and don't know how to cherish it, if they rely on the talisman to have no fear and ignore their own magic cultivation, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Zhou Xingyuan also echoed: "No matter which unit it is, you can't give out benefits like this!" Since ancient times, the practice of inheritance, master and apprentice are like father and son, and disciples must be loyal to the sect and filial piety to the master, so there is a matter of giving talismans and instruments.
However, the model of Yangyuan Valley is not like this, and our requirements for students cannot be so high. Teach them the art of raising the yuan, and then divide them into categories, teach them according to their aptitude, and teach them magic, instrument methods, Dan methods, and talisman methods.
If they had nothing to do and sent a few more talismans, what did they pay for it? We can't ask all the teachers to do their best and all the students enjoy it, this is not the way to educate people, let alone the blessings of the world. ”
Man Man couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "Well, what you said makes sense!" ”
Hua Zhenxing: "In the next step, Yangyuan Valley needs to formulate a system of rights and obligations, responsibilities and benefits. The mentor talisman is included in the treasury, which is also a contribution and is recorded in the performance.
Public equipment cannot be used privately, students or instructors can collect it if they need to perform tasks, and they must return it afterwards, and if they use it, they must report the actual situation. This is the public resource of Yangyuan Valley, not whoever takes it is who's who. ”
Zheng Tongjun smiled: "Is it equivalent to a policeman's gun?" ”
Hua Zhenxing also smiled: "When you say that, it's a bit similar." There are special practices in special periods, and for now, we still try to distribute the existing talismans to the right people as much as possible.
I also have a proposal that Pan Cai stop staying in Filso and transfer him to the side of the Charles, whose main task at the moment is to keep the Charles safe. ”
Hua Zhenxing broke out in a cold sweat today, but when he looked back, he thought of Charles's safety. Larfa found him, he still has the possibility of turning the tables, but if Charles encounters this kind of master, I'm afraid there is no way at all!
Whether it is for the country of several miles or the new alliance, now the charr must not have an accident, and his importance cannot be replaced. Jo Gaulle claimed that he went to Mowang City yesterday to see the excitement of Shire, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, or he was also euphemistically reminding Hua Zhenxing.
Hua Zhenxing reacted this time and immediately decided to appoint Pan Cai to Charles's side. All matters have been discussed, and they are all arranged and implemented quickly.
At noon the next day, in the VIP room of the office building of the headquarters of Wage Mining, Hua Zhenxing once again received Yokole. There were still seven people who had dinner together yesterday, and there were more Locke and Lianna on Hua Zhenxing's side.
Locke also rushed with him when he heard the news, and it was usually hard to get here from Filso, but it was nothing to the monks.
The light rainy season has ended, and the new Union army has also opened a transportation route from Filso Port to the south of the country, and it is almost 400 kilometers to drive off-road vehicles here, and Locke, who is the driver himself, set off in the early hours of this morning.
After both the guests and the host were seated, Hua Zhenxing asked: "Why does Mr. Yue always come alone, with such a noble status, didn't the Gambisting send a group of helpers?" ”
Jogaulle sighed a little exaggeratedly: "Alas, those who can work harder, whoever calls me is the life of running errands!" There are really not many people who can help me, and I will ask Boss Hua to help me in the future, you are now strong, and you will be even more amazing in the future. ”
Hua Zhenxing: "Mr. Yue is too fond of joking, how dare we compare with Gambisting, a small organization in our small place?" Let's get down to business, how did Lalfa deal with it? ”
Jogole: "The Book of the Dark Magic Legacy has been found and destroyed, along with Ralfa. As far as I know, all five of Lalfa's assistants have been dealt with by you.
As for the underground organization he developed on the side of Wago City, there were only some peripheral indigenous members who did not know the inside information. Boss Hua should know their situation better than me, and if it needs to be cleaned up, I will ask you for the new alliance. ”
Sima Value: "These things are easy to do!" But what does Gambisting have to say about the losses on our side? ”
Sima Zhi's task today is to sing black faces and bargain. As for Lianna, she can sit next to her and try not to speak, she is also nominally a magician registered and supervised by the Gambis, and she is always embarrassed to ask for conditions in person.
Hua Zhenxing only explained one thing to Lian Na, that is, to see if the compensation given by Gao Le was reasonable. If it's not suitable, she keeps putting her left hand on her right hand, and if she can, she pulls out her right hand and puts it on her left hand, Hua Zhenxing can understand.
Hearing this, Yogaole smiled and said, "Boss Hua, we are partners and very good friends. I remember the last time I visited Yangyuan Valley, I also specially sent a flying artifact, right? ”
There is such a thing. On the occasion of Pan Cai taking the nineteen monks who were originally scheduled to "worship the mountain", Yue Gaole also specially rushed to Yangyuan Valley and sent a flying artifact in the name of a congratulatory gift from his partner.
If that is the case, Hua Zhenxing will be embarrassed to rip off, and if he really reckons with it, I'm afraid he will have to find it upside down.
Manman shook his head and said, "Mr. Yue, what you said is not right!" At that time, you wanted to give the Xiaoyao Banner to Yangyuan Valley, but Xiaohua didn't accept it, so Mr. Yang said that it was better to give it to the old man, and you would give it to Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang later used it as a cushion for a small bench, and I also sat on it. That was a personal gift from you to Mr. Yang, but today we are not talking about a private matter between Xiaohua and you. ”
Hua Zhenxing nodded and praised: "Yes, what Man Man said is right!" This is a matter between Yangyuan Valley, Wago Mining and Gambisting, not a private matter between me and Mr. Yue. ”
Jogale also nodded: "That's true! I have come today to express my gratitude and respect to all of you on behalf of the Gambis Court and His Majesty the Court Crown. The Gambisting will try its best to compensate for all the losses caused by this incident.
As far as I know, you have spent a total of fourteen talismans, and these talismans are all sacrificed by masters who are proficient in various different arts, and they are very precious and rare.
They are different from ordinary things, and they are also difficult to value in the usual way. May I ask Ms. Lianna, in the earliest days, what method was used to pay for this kind of item traded between magicians? ”
Jo Gaulle directly called Lian Na's name, Lian Na was stunned, and asked rhetorically: "At the earliest, when do you refer to?" ”
Jogole: "The legendary era, when scrolls and the like first appeared. ”
Lianna: "That's the time! According to the records of the classics I read, it should be the use of divine stones. It is said that thousands of years ago, the value of a sacred stone was equivalent to a hundred times its volume of gold. ”
Jogoulle: "Oh, so cheap? Then I can use gold to buy the Divine Stone, and I can get as much as I want! ”
Lian Na: "That's a record from ancient times, and now the Divine Stone has long been extinct, and the gold production is not known to be many times higher than thousands of years ago, of course, it can't be measured like this." ”
Locke added in a whisper, "The Divine Stone is very difficult to damage, and it is not extinct, but it is almost no longer produced. Most of the Divine Stones that have been handed down have been confiscated by the Gambisting, and a small number have been passed down among various groups of magicians. ”
Jo Gaole high-fived and said: "Mayor Luo and Director Lian are very knowledgeable, since this is the case, it will be easy to do, the fourteen talismans you spent, the Gambisting will compensate for the fourteen divine stones, I don't know if you can be satisfied?" ”
Hua Zhenxing paid attention to Lian Na's hands with the corner of his eye, only to see that her right hand was quickly pulled out and placed on her left hand, which was a bit too fast, and the implication was to let Hua Zhenxing quickly agree, so as not to regret it again.
Hua Zhenxing comprehended: "Then this article has been turned over, whether it is a collaborator or a friend, in fact, the most important thing is attitude." ”
Jo Gaole: "Vage Mining also damaged an apartment, this is easy to do, just make compensation, 100,000 Luo yuan should be enough, right?" ”
Hua Zhenxing: "Just that apartment, of course 100,000 Luo yuan is enough." But there is also a whole wall of wine cabinets in the living room, which are all famous wines collected by Warich, and they should also be paid to others. ”
Jogole smiled: "Then add another zero, a total of one million Luo Yuan, and the Gambisting will also compensate those wines." ”
Whether this compensation is 100,000 or 1 million Luo Yuan, compared to the fourteen divine stones just now, it can only be regarded as an additive. Hua Zhenxing took out the short staff used by Lalfa again, put it on the table and said, "Then what about this staff, does Gambisting plan to go back or redeem it?" ”
Jo Gaole actually turned his gaze to Lian Na again: "Director Lian, can you recognize this staff?" ”
Lian Na narrowed her eyes slightly: "This is a Snow Song style staff, with the Snow Song wood core as the staff body material, a total of nine divine stones are inlaid, and the craftsmanship is top-notch." "She had come before Jogoulle, and had seen the staff beforehand.
Jogaulle seemed to want to test Corlena, and asked, "How did the so-called standard staff come about before this system was formed?" ”
Lianna: "Someone first created a staff called Snow Song, which has a very good amplification effect on almost all divine arts, and also has special power bonuses for several specific types of divine arts.
Later magicians imitated it, using the same materials and processes to build a staff, the body of the staff is made of snow song wood core, and the types and quantities of inlaid divine stones are different, forming a system, which is called snow song style. ”
Jogole: "And how much do you know about the Snow Song, and which magician created it?" ”
Lian Na finally shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, I've never seen any record of this, I only know that it's an ancient staff from the Gambisting's collection." Speaking of this, her face changed slightly, and she said in an incredulous tone, "Could it be that this is ......?"
As soon as Jogole stretched out his hand, the staff flew into his palm, and he nodded slowly, "The name of this staff is called Snow Song." It is not a personal belongings of Lalfa, but a collection of the Gambisting. The one that Larfa had taken with him on his mission was supposed to be returned after returning to the Gambis, but unfortunately he never returned.
As for the history of this staff, it is almost five thousand years old, and the Gambisting is much older. It was created by a ninth-level great magician named Ge Lie. Some people may be surprised that in the era when there was no Gambisting, there were already divine magicians and ninth-level great magicians.
At that time, although Yukiki was scarce, it was not a particularly rare material, and although the sacred stone was precious, it was not as nearly extinct as it is today. Master Ge Lie used an ordinary Snow Song Wood Core and nine ordinary Divine Stones to create a staff with both general effects and special bonuses in the most concise way, which is the condensation of skill, wisdom and aesthetics.
Therefore, in later generations, many people inherited and imitated his methods to build staffs, and gradually formed the system of snow song style, a kind of staff, until the snow song wood became extinct. After the extinction of Snow Song Wood, some people looked for other materials to replace it, and it was still this craft that was inherited, and those staff were also called Snow Song Staffs. ”
When Jo Gaulle said this, his eyes kept staring at the staff in his hand, and his fingers were still gently rubbing the staff, as if he was remembering or remembering something, and there was an indescribable melancholy and sentimentality in his eyes, which was completely different from the feeling he usually gave people, at least Hua Zhenxing had never seen Jo Gaulle like this.
With his introduction, an inexplicable emotion seemed to infect other people present. Everyone didn't speak for a while, and they were immersed in some kind of indescribable artistic conception, and in the heart of the original spirit, a tree in the snowstorm vaguely appeared-
In the endless snowfields and jungles, the branches of a tree with a unique shape spread. The bark of the tree was almost pure white, and if it weren't for the gray-brown ophthalmic nodules on the tree, it would have been almost impossible to spot in the heavy snow, and there were still a few red dead leaves left on the treetops high above.
Looking at the Snow Song in Jo Gaole's hand, it is about a foot long, and the adult man's fingers are thick, from the position of about ten centimeters at one end to the top of the other end, there are nine nodules-like protrusions, and the texture and color are similar to ivory.
If Jo Gaulle hadn't specifically introduced it, Hua Zhenxing really hadn't seen that its original material was wood, and it was inlaid with nine ordinary divine stones.
Whether it is an ordinary divine stone or a special divine stone, the volume is the same size, and the dodecahedron with an inner diameter of about two centimeters is larger than the nine nodulous protrusions. How did this get in? It seems that the magician also has his own special refining technique.
While everyone was silent, Manman's immature voice asked, "Why is Xue Gemu extinct?" ”
This sentence seemed to finally bring Jogale back to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "Master Golie found such a tree in the snowy jungle, and its wooden core was suitable for making magic staffs, so he created the Snow Song, which was later called Snow Song Wood.
After the Snow Song Staff became a popular standard, later generations of magicians searched for the Snow Song Wood until it was completely destroyed. In the last 500 years, there has been no record of snow gemu, at least in Luobazhou, it should be extinct. ”
After saying this, he looked up at Hua Zhenxing again: "You recovered this magic staff, but I can't make a price for it, but I can promise to do my best to help you do something, what does Boss Hua want?" ”
