Chapter Forty-Eight: Demon-Breaking Arrows
"This is a magic essence potion made by the teacher himself, which can greatly improve the effect of meditation, and as a prize, it can only be exchanged for credits. You don't know how many students will go crazy about this bottle of medicine, it's just that they save slowly, spend fast, and never get up so many credits. ”
Holding two bottles of inconspicuous alchemy elixir, Lolana smiled and narrowed her eyes, like a little fox.
"This bottle is for Eucaly, who has an older brother who is gifted and has a good chance of advancing from apprentice to true mage. Her father would definitely spare no expense if he wanted to know the news. And that Mr. Viscount is notoriously loud-mouthed, and when he has had enough of showing off in the aristocratic circles, we will put the second bottle of potion out for auction. At that time, the noble lords will at least increase the price of this bottle of medicine for us by four or five times......"
Listening to Lorana's plan, El was covered in a cold sweat. Follow this eldest lady, maybe she will be sold one day and help her count the money.
"Since it's such a precious potion, why don't you keep a bottle for yourself?" El asked, confused.
"As the only disciple of the teacher in the past twenty years, do you think I will lack this potion?" Lolana gave El a roll of the eyes with a foolish look, and then changed to a serious face: "Actually, I persuaded the teacher to take out these two potions as a reward." ”
Turns out you've planned it from the beginning, El said to himself. Through the eldest lady's self-exposure, now he can vaguely guess some of the clues. It's not like there's no way for Lolana to resell potions directly, but doing so can be very risky. And the medicine that flows out in this way can be said to be an official channel, which will not affect the image of the eldest lady in front of outsiders, and can raise the price in disguise.
As for the deeper considerations, El can't guess and doesn't want to guess, that will undoubtedly burn too many brain cells. He was now thinking more about how to get Lolana to help him figure it out, and that dinner was inevitable anyway.
"Brother El, you can't be distracted again, are you? Lolana stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes, feigning to be angry.
"Where's the lady?" El couldn't help but tease, "I only saw a genius alchemist, no, it should be a genius gold merchant." ”
"It's mean. Lolana was not ashamed, but grinned proudly: "Have you forgotten that you also participated? ”
Although she said that she was unwilling, the eldest lady still handed over a black wooden box the size of a palm. El took it and opened it, and saw that seven three-edged hollow arrows with cold light were neatly placed inside.
"This set of Demon-Breaking Arrows was something I turned in when I was studying metal smelting, and although it was rated excellent at the time, it was of little practical value to me. It was a pity to put it in waste, and it was a pity to throw it away, and finally it was simply hung in the material storage room, but unfortunately no one has seen its true value until now. ”
"Oh, is it because the material of these arrows is not ordinary?" Seeing the weapon he was familiar with, El finally became interested. The appearance of these demon-breaking arrows was no different from the samples he had seen in the shop, and the demon-breaking effect of the arrows was generally due to the fact that the metal of the arrows was doped with Mithril. The greater the proportion of Mithril, the better the demon-breaking effect will be, and the more outrageous the price will be.
In fact, this kind of weapon that is specially used against mages or monsters can only be studied and used by the mages themselves. For ordinary people, the demon-breaking effect is meaningless. Out of personal interest, El had the idea of collecting, but with his current financial resources, he could only think about it.
Now that he got these expensive things, El's first thought was to try their sharpness, but his instincts told him not to act rashly, and God knows what condiments the eldest lady had added to them.
"In the end, the course of metal smelting is just an assessment of the production process and techniques, but at that time, I felt that this work was a little too simple, so I asked Grandpa Powell to add three effects of armor piercing, piercing and bleeding to the hollowed out part. ”
Lolana blinked, with an innocent and harmless expression, but the words that came out of her mouth were creepy.
"Do you want to slay the dragon, Miss!" El's hand shook and he almost didn't drop the box to the ground, the demon-breaking arrow with the enchanted effect sounded terrifying, but it was still so vicious that the effect was stacked. Based on El's own experience, if he were to use a strong bow and crossbow, this arrow would at least turn a small group of heavily armed city defenders into blood gourds. Even the flying feathered velociraptor that was killed by the bear back then, I'm afraid it may not be able to block this arrow.
"I've been wondering why that kobold was so surprised, and the prophets should have been indifferent to life and death, because in their eyes, the fate of all people will eventually come to nothingness. Tika is so important to you, Brother El, only because you love each other. To outsiders, she is still just an insignificant country girl. Unless...... He saw a surprisingly dramatic change in the trajectory of Tika's fortunes. ”
Lorana's tone finally became really serious this time, and she looked into El's eyes and said:
"I don't know what that change will be, but the so-called force majeure is always relative. In the face of unknown dangers, the best way to improve your strength as soon as possible is to improve your strength. ”
"You're right, thank you. El nodded, and carefully placed the Demon Breaker in his arms. With such a murderous weapon, he subconsciously felt a lot more at ease.
"It's too much to say thank you, Brother El, after all, you still have to keep me safe, don't you?" Lolana tilted her head and smiled, turning back into a harmless little lady. But at this time, El was relieved of her, since she could make such a vicious demon-breaking arrow in the first place, presumably there would never be a shortage of more terrifying things on the eldest lady's body now.
The two of them were talking like they were walking towards the library, and El looked around casually, and suddenly there was a pause. Lorana sensed his abnormality and leaned her head curiously to follow El's line of sight.
A gray mage tower nestled in a public academy suddenly bloomed with a dazzling colored halo, and a petite figure slowly emerged from the blooming magic array. Although he wore a light white scarf on his face, his long, moon-white hair, which was combed into a ponytail, made El recognize the identity of the person at a glance.
The magician girl named Tiana had now regained her original form, wearing a new dark blue robe with multicolored gems on the cuffs. The robe is embroidered with intricate silver filigree patterns, which flicker with a faint light from time to time, clinging to the skin to set off the graceful curves of the girl's body. She held an unrecognizable jet-black staff, the tip of which opened like a four-lined scepter, and a large gem with a colorless transparent light in the middle.
Although she didn't show her face, the moment she stepped out of the mage's tower, she showed an air of nobility and holiness that is difficult to describe in words. When she opened her amber eyes, the world in the hearts of all the onlookers lost its color, and only the one-of-a-kind angel remained.
He had long been accustomed to Tiana's ragged and down-and-out image, and suddenly seeing her return to her true form, El swallowed a big mouthful of saliva very unproductively, and his heart was full of mixed feelings for a while.
"Eh, isn't that your old lover, Brother El?" asked Lolana, rubbing her eyes, and whispered in disbelief.
"Don't talk nonsense, we're just ordinary friends. El said in a sour tone.
"It's really a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, and a local chicken becoming a phoenix. Unexpected, unexpected......" Lorana shook her head as if she hadn't heard El's explanation, and sighed repeatedly.
"Looking at this outfit, at least he is also an outer ring mage who has stepped into the Silver Secret Realm, and he has such an achievement at a young age, and I am ashamed of myself in comparison. ”
Under the burning gaze of the onlookers, Tiana moved lightly to Antonio, who was waiting for her, and smiled at each other.
