Karl crossed the drawbridge to a bazaar called Goshawk's Claw, where there were many dryads and night elves, but the largest number of inhabitants were druids, and the bazaar sold all kinds of goods - grains, fabrics, some strange plants, fruits, as well as magical materials, strange ores, and some magical items on the first level.
The Elven Forest is rich in produce, so there are a lot of goods to see in the market, but the way of trading here is still in the barter stage, and it is not limited to gold and silver.
Because gold and silver only exist here as magical materials.
Carl found a lot of rare materials here, such as a fist-sized tricolor stone that only eight moon crystals of equal size could be exchanged.
In the academy's material library, the difference in value between the two materials is three hundred and seventeen times higher.
The moon spar is just a magic crystal that stores a small amount of magic power, and the ability to emit light just shows that it has a poor energy storage effect, while the tricolor stone is a special material for making void crystals.
The elven city of Isha has not been visited by humans for more than a hundred years, and the Magic Council has only been established for a hundred years, and the rapid development of the third generation of magic, many things that were previously unknown to the use are now rare and precious materials.
But also because there are so many things, the person who buys the thing must be knowledgeable enough to make a profit - because the seller must be racking his brains to figure out what he is selling.
And it's not that there are no fakes.
Karl picked up a brown seed with purple veins and looked at it in front of his eyes.
"Guest, you are really good eyesight, this is the dark green oak tree that His Great Druid has personally blessed himself, planted in the yard of his house, not only can protect the body from all diseases, but also bear fruit that can improve the affinity of the wind element. A short druid, who was only half Karl's height, said with a lotus mouth.
Judging from the cyan paint and birdwing cloak on his body, this is a druid who has always been good at changing birds, or a small bird, no wonder he is so short.
Karl silently put down the ordinary oak seed soaked in magic spring water in his hand and waved his hand: "Your ink is not good, if you mix it with some blue tulips, maybe I will be mixed up." ”
"Well, look at this, the claws of the winter beast ......" The short bird quickly introduced something else.
The blue tulips have a very special aroma and are very recognizable - Carl means that the lines on this seed are so obvious that they are fake!
In the end, Carl only bought a set of quills made from the feathers of an adult golden-beaked giant eagle, which can absorb some magic ink that ordinary quills can't absorb, such as the blood solution of most monsters.
He bought something that was rare outside, but Carl didn't buy much, because as a typical third-generation magician, that is, an arcanalist, he had a thirst for knowledge far more than material.
On the third floor of the bazaar, he also had the pleasure of enjoying a free gladiatorial fight, where two centaurs were torn apart, and this grumpy creature could easily get into a fight with other people - especially with his own kind, it was not uncommon for two powder kegs to explode together, and Isa even set up a dueling arena for these combatants for them to vent.
In fact, the racial competition in the forest is very strong, and the elves often have archery competitions, but unfortunately Carl didn't see it.
Carl sat down at an open-air bar owned by a tree elf and ordered a cup of the café's specialty—something that tasted like fruit wine.
"Big brother, are you human?" asked a little girl who was only seven or eight years old as a human as she cautiously approached Carl.
"That's right, I'm human. Karl said calmly.
Because of the face blindness between different races, humans are not particularly conspicuous in the city, although they have not been here for more than a hundred years, and if they do communicate, they are only in the outer ring of the forest.
"It's true, you speak Elf so fluently. The little girl with starry eyes clasped her hands in front of her chest, "What do humans eat? Where do they live? I heard that there is no dragon tree outside, so they can only hunt and eat meat? Isn't that very uncomfortable? Without magic, the ancient wood can only build a house with his hands? ”
Karl pointed to the empty chair on his small table and said, "It seems that you still have a little research on us humans, and you hate me without hearing that I am human, but there are some things that cannot be imagined alone." ”
Nia jumped into the chair, Karl ordered a glass of juice and handed it to her, and then said, "Actually, we humans are not much different from you elves, we both adapt to the environment and transform the environment. ”
"Adapt, transform the environment?" Niya winked as she held the juice.
"Yes. Karl continued, "For example, the two questions you asked, the main food of people in different regions is different, our Lorenzo Empire, the area is very large, and the terrain and climate in different regions are different, the difference is as big as the forest of tranquility and the dangerous dark forest, but basically it is mainly based on plants, it may be rice or wheat, it may be potatoes or corn. ”
"I thought you only ate meat. Nia stuck out her tongue.
"I thought you only ate fruit. Karl smiled, "I don't know that you hunt animals mercilessly, and have more experience in roasting meat than we do—I've never seen a human adventurer handle a roast in twenty-one processes." ”
"Nature repeats itself, winter and summer, life and death. Nia sipped her juice.
"Is this the philosophy of your elves?" Karl savored and glanced at the elf in amazement, "You seem to know a lot. ”
"Of course, I'm an elemental mage. Niya stole a glance at a few elves as big as her who were playing not far away, and snorted softly, "It's not like those bear children." ”
"Elemental magic?" Karl said curiously, "which line are you?"
"Light. Niya lay on the table, "It's a pity that my father said that I was not allowed to study magic until I became an adult, and that learning magic at too young was harmful to my body. ”
"Light?" Karl smiled mysteriously with a white light flashing in his hand, "just like I'll be a little." ”
"Mr. Human, what will you be?" Nya looked at curiously.
"Look over there. Karl gestured with his eyes above the bazaar.
Niya subconsciously looked and saw a giant eagle swooping out of the nest, and then flapping its wings and flying.
"What's wrong...... Alas!" Nia watched in shock as a chick appeared on Karl's right hand that looked exactly like the giant eagle - but by the light.
"Go ahead. Karl waved his hand slightly, and the eagle of light fluttered like a real eagle, circling around Nia and landing on her shoulder.
Niya subconsciously touched it lightly with her hand, and she could still feel a trace of texture.
This is the result of more than a month of mental training and in-depth research on the Sword of Light Dye, and he can now easily carve a flame into a still grass, solidify a splash of water into a small model, and pluck a ray of sunlight and fold it into a giant eagle.
He's so much better than he was a month ago.
However, this forcible control could not last long, and in Nya's regretful eyes, the eaglet made of light quickly dissipated, leaving only an eagle chirping.
