Chapter 56: The City of Magic (2)
Ryan was dragged forward by Faras, and he listened to the wind whistling in his ears, and said as he ran: "Well, you should walk slowly, you don't have to be a thief, right?"
Faras still pulled Ryan's head and ran forward without looking back, until the two of them ran into a remote alley, Faras let go of his grip on Ryan's hand, and she bent over and gasped for breath, and said to Ryan one after another, "Really...... Alas, the magician is not good at this, the body is too fragile."
Ryan looked behind him and saw that Allendo and they were all there, and even Flanner was followed by Colin and Thomas. The rush just now, maybe Faras will feel a little out of breath, but for Ryan there is no burden at all, when Ryan was a child, he was not less under the forced request of Mr. Galib, carrying a thick tree trunk to run the steep mountain roads of the Hengduan Mountains, and now it seems that the hardships at that time were very helpful to Ryan's growth.
Ryan knew that the ruby ring that Farass had just taken out was given by Victor during the AtlΓ©tico Royale tournament, and he didn't understand why Farass was doing this, so when Farass adjusted his breathing to about the same size as usual, Ryan asked, "That ring belongs to your teacher......, right?"
"Hey, you don't understand. Faras interrupted Ryan's questioning, and said disapprerovingly: "Doesn't the teacher often say to you, don't rely too much on those external forces? It's useless for me to keep it, so I just exchange it for these gadgets, don't you say, there are really a few good things in it, look at this little bear carved from jade, it's so cute." β
Ryan was speechless, he didn't know how to describe Faraz, this was obviously a very loss-making exchange, and Faraz actually felt that it was a good deal. The shopkeeper just now said that he had exchanged a magic staff for someone else's rough magic scroll, and in terms of value at the time, others thought that the shopkeeper had suffered a loss, but after all, there was a potential possibility of increasing value, and the shopkeeper was betting on the future growth of the magic scroll maker.
As for the gadgets in Faras's hands, Ryan had already seen them when Farath was choosing, and there was nothing particularly outstanding about these things in terms of materials and production process, I am afraid that they were really useless except for enjoyment, if you spend gold coins to buy them, Ryan estimates that there are at most a few hundred, which still takes into account the rarity of magic items. And Victor's hand-made works, according to the information that Ryan got from Lille and York, as long as they appear at the Blackstone auction, they will be sold for six figures.
Ryan shook his head slightly, and said in his heart: "It is estimated that only you Fani would do such a thing in the entire continent, anyway, Victor is your teacher, how many of his works you want, and Luke is your father, he is now completely in control of the situation in the imperial capital, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, is there still a lack of money?"
"Well, if you change it, change it, anyway, that ruby ring only has a magic to protect against flames, and it is not very useful to you. Now that it was true, Ryan accepted it, and he said to Faraz, "When I have mastered all the magic circles on Shaina's dress, I'll make you a few more." β
"Yes, yes!" Faraz clapped her hands and shouted: "I want beautiful clothes, when the time comes, I will choose the style and decoration of the clothes, I want to add various elemental protection, increase the casting speed, reduce the casting cost, I wear them is equivalent to double, no, double the strength...... Alas, Ryan, you hit me again. β
Ryan looked at Faras helplessly and made a pitiful look, and said to her with a wry smile: "You also think too highly of me, if the things you said only have a slight effect, they are meaningless for actual combat, and if there is an obvious effect, I, it can basically be regarded as a holy thing." If the effect is quite obvious, like you said, it will increase the strength by two times, this is an artifact at all, and I don't think I'm qualified enough. β
"Who said that, I think you can do it," Faraz's face changed unpredictably, just now she was pitiful, and then she became full of laughter, she pointed at Ryan and said, "Others can't, but you are okay, because you are Ryan, my boyfriend." Hmph, my boyfriend must be stronger than others, he should have strong strength, he must help me beat others when I am bullied, and when I bully others, he must also help me beat others. Also, you have to be with me when I'm happy, and you have to coax me when I'm unhappy......"
The more Ryan listened, the more cold sweat broke out, and Faras didn't care about Ryan at all, she talked to herself about her selection criteria for her boyfriend. As he was talking, Franner's words suddenly came out: "Faraz, why do I think you're choosing a babysitter?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Faras stomped his feet shyly, but Colin's earth-shattering voice rang out, and Faras said viciously to Colin, "What is there to scream?"
Colin's eyes were red, and his tears were flowing out, all of which made Faras look at them, and she said in surprise, "I didn't say anything, are you crying?"
"No," Colin said as he bent down and rubbed his foot vigorously, "You just stepped on my foot, not Lane's." β
The crowd laughed again.
"Hmph, not like you!" said Faraz, pouting.
When everyone saw Faraz's cute appearance, they laughed again.
Faras shouted loudly: "Stop, don't laugh, I have something to say!" She shouted several times in a row, and everyone regained their quiet, while Faras took out the 12 magic trinkets she had just exchanged for, and said to Elendo: "Elendo, you and Ryan were the first to know each other, and now in the Ryan mercenary group, you are the only partner who can fight in close quarters, and you need to charge into battle many times, so this wolf-shaped pendant is given to you." β
Alendor took the wolf-shaped ornament carved from Faraz's hand and said with a slight smile, "Thank you." Alendor looked down at the palm-sized ornament, its material was slightly transparent, and the light could shine through, but he couldn't see the opposite side clearly, and the whole wolf shape was quite lifelike, with a very simple magic array on it, and I didn't know what it was for.
Ryan interjected: "That magic array is actually just an illumination technique, you hold the ornament with your hand and pinch the wolf shape hard, you can activate it, I don't know how long it will last." β
"Oh, is it?" Alendor did as Ryan said, and sure enough, the ornament glowed with a sparkling white light, which was soft, but it didn't look very bright because it was still daytime. The light lasted for about 30 seconds before it slowly dimmed, and Allendo smiled and said, "This thing is so good, thank you, Faraz." β
Faras said proudly: "Of course, the ones I choose are naturally good things, and you can see that this thing is especially suitable for you, Alendor, you can use it to illuminate when you go out at night in the future." β
"Alas, Fani, Alendor can see in the night, if he becomes a wind wolf, he will be the darling of the night, I'm afraid ......"
"Shut up, you piece of wood," Faras yelled at Ryan, who interjected, "don't you think that's funny, can't Allendor use this to date other ladies?"
"Ahem, ahem!" Ryan was speechless by Faraz's snatch, and had to cough incessantly to relieve the awkward situation.
"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you when I have time!" Faras glanced at Ryan, picked a ring from the pile of knick-knacks, handed it to Franna, and said to him, "This is a good thing, I've seen my father have one like this." The flat surface of the ring on it is a magic circle, and you print it on the paper to make it a pattern. Franner, you are now the big steward of our mercenary group, and when there are more people in the group in the future, there will naturally be no shortage of money exchanges, so you can use this as a mark. β
"Thank you so much, Faraz. Franner took the ring and put it on his left hand.
"You two don't have to look at me, everybody has it. Faras turned to Colin and Thomas and said, "Well, divide it among yourselves." With that, Faras handed the two rings out.
Colin grabbed it with a quick hand, and when he looked closely, he chose one of the ones that looked more pleasing to the eye, and gave the other one to Thomas. Thomas scrambled to catch the ring that Colin had thrown over, he looked at himself, and then at Colin, not knowing which one was better.
Ryan spoke, "Colin, you're really good at choosing. That ring of yours can unleash the sensitivity of a civet, and it can make you more agile. Thomas, you're a brute force, I don't need to say more about the effect, right?"
Faras looked at Colin and Thomas's satisfied faces, and her heart was even more proud, and she said to Ryan: "Look, I'll still choose, right?" Besides, I don't need Victor's ring anyway, and now I have changed a lot of things, and it's a good deal for everyone. β
Ryan disagrees with Faraz's economic acumen, but he has also visited the magic shops in the imperial capital and the free heaven, like the things that Faraz selected, if they are in the imperial capital or the free heaven, the value is definitely very high, but in the magic capital of Mochizuki City, it is actually just the most ordinary kind, thrown outside for others to choose, which also gives Ryan a deeper understanding of Mochizuki City, and the name of the magic capital is indeed well deserved.
"Here, Shani. Farass handed Shayna one of the finest ornaments and said to her, "I know these things can't compare to what you made yourself, but let's keep it as a souvenir." β
"Thank you. Shaina didn't expect to have a copy of herself, so she took it and solemnly collected it.
"Faras, you still have so many there, why don't you ......" Colin looked at the gadget in Faras's hand and said, "You see I have a total of ten fingers, and this is only one ring." β
"I'm going to keep these and bring them back to the imperial capital for Alina and Red. Farass hurriedly put away the things in her hand, and she said as she collected them: "You really want to find him, isn't he studying Shani's clothes? β
