Chapter 34: The Black Market

Half an hour later, in Roman's hand, the rune stone flashed, marking the success of the production, and around him, there were scattered debris, which was the remnants of the magic stone after the production failed.

The raw materials of rune stone are simple, the production threshold is very low, as long as the second-level apprentice knows how to release spiritual power, plus a magic stone, you can start making it anytime and anywhere.

However, just like the online literature on the earth, it is easy to enter the industry, but it is difficult to get results, and there are even fewer people who become gods.

There are few people who learn runes and eventually become rune masters, rune masters are scarce, and the price of rune stones naturally remains high.

In front of the counter, the boss's eyes lit up, and he took a magnifying glass to scan Roman's rune stone, trying not to let go of any detail, as if he was looking at a work of art.

After a long time, he exclaimed:

"I've never seen such a perfect rune, the connection of the circuit nodes is just right, and the outlined lines fit the magic stone perfectly, it's just natural, even better than the last one, worthy of Zimbardo."

At this time, Roman asked, "How long does it take me for a beginner to reach such a level?" ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled at his aunt, looked at Roman with pity, and said:

"Making rune stones, not only hard work, but also talent, Professor Zimbardo failed more than five hundred times before he succeeded in making the first rune stone, unless your talent is higher than his, don't think about succeeding in a short period of time."

After speaking, he handed Roman fifteen magic stones: "This rune stone has excellent craftsmanship and should be purchased at a premium, but since it is the lowest-level fireball rune, it only pays a premium for three magic stones, is there a problem?" ”

Nearly ten times the profit! Roman's heart beat faster, and his face flushed, you know, his cost is only two magic stones.

Roman's demeanor, the boss thought he was not satisfied with the price, and said cautiously: "If there is any objection, the price can be negotiated." ”

Roman calmed down a little and said slowly: "No, I'm in a hurry, just this price, and this matter will be kept secret for me, if someone spreads this matter elsewhere, there will be no need to do business next time." ”

The boss immediately assured: "Don't worry, I want to keep this source secret more than you, and if you don't believe me, I can swear by the eyes of judgment." ”

Roman said with a smirk: "I mean keeping it a secret from everyone, including those behind you, do you dare to swear?" ”

To be able to open a shop in the floating city, there must be someone behind it, at least a more advanced wizard, in case this rune stone is seen by a high-level wizard and finds Roman, it will not be easy.

The boss was embarrassed for a while, and finally, in the nature of a businessman, agreed to Roman's proposal, and he monopolized Roman's supply of goods at the cost of absolute secrecy under the witness of the Eye of Judgment.

Roman played a trick, the "source" in the agreement specifically refers to the products of Zimbardo's mentor, not Roman, so this agreement has almost no constraints on Roman, but the businessman thinks he has taken advantage of it.

Roman then left the shop and walked to the dormitory, where the magic stone in his pocket collided, which meant that a fortune beckoned him, but his mood did not improve because of this, but he was full of anxiety.

From the conversation with the boss just now, Roman learned that it was impossible for a beginner to make runestones without months of practice, and it was really sensational that he made one in just a few hours.

Fortunately, he lied, saying that this was a Zimbardo product, and the store owner did not suspect it, but it was okay to sell the goods in the name of Zimbardo in this way, and it was okay to sell them in small quantities once or twice, but if the shipment was large......

His products have been tossed and turned several times, and they have reached the hands of a certain bigwig, and the bigwig knows Zimbardo, and when he mentions Roman's products with Zimbardo, everything is exposed.

A second-level apprentice, a beginner, who makes rune stones of higher quality than Zimbardo, may immediately slice Roman to search for souls and dig out the secret of the chip.

This means that these roman-made rune stones, if the origin is not clear, cannot be sold through formal channels at all.

Despite the constraints of the Eye of Judgment, witchcraft is so strange that who knows if there is a way to circumvent it? As long as the stakes are large enough, it is absolutely possible.

So Roman decided that he would never go to the store to sell the goods until he explained the source of the runestones.

"Roman, what are you thinking?"

Suddenly, a plain hand rested on his shoulder, interrupting Roman's thoughts, and he looked back at Emma's smiling eyes.

Roman said lightly: "You are looking for me, is there something wrong?" ”

Emma smiled, "Can't I look for you if it's okay?" ”

Roman shook his head and said straightly: "No, wizards' time is very precious, and it will not be used for meaningless communication, so let's talk about something!" ”

Emma pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, and snorted coldly: "There is indeed something, Zimbardo's rune analysis data, make a price, I will buy it at a high price." ”

When Roman heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "No problem, let's go to the restaurant to talk, and I'll invite you to the second floor for dinner." ”

When Emma heard this, she was surprised and said, "Ouch, Roman, you have made a fortune!" He was so generous. ”

Roman replied lightly: "I just don't want to owe you a favor, last time you had a treat, this time I have a treat, it's normal." ”

When Emma heard this, she smiled and said, "If you say that, I don't want you to invite me, wouldn't it be better for you to owe me favors all the time?" ”

Roman couldn't bear to show weakness, so he replied helplessly: "Then this transaction can't be done." ”

Sitting down to serve the food, Roman asked Emma to eat first, and he took out a pen and paper, silently wrote the rune analysis of the fireball technique, and after filling a piece of paper, handed it to Emma:

"You see how much you bid, it's just part of it, and once the deal is done, I'll write the rest."

Emma took a look at it, and immediately said with disdain: "Fireball technique, this kind of goods that are specially designed for newcomers to practice and rotten streets can't be bought at a high price, and Zimbardo's name is worth a magic stone." ”

But Roman shook his head and said lightly: "I don't want magic stones, I want to know the address of the academy's recent black market." ”

"What are you going to do on the black market?" Emma asked in surprise, and then seemed to think of something, hehe smiled and guessed, "Is it selling Professor Zimbardo's products?" Actually, you can buy it for me..."

Roman didn't speak, and Emma continued to bewitch: "As for safety, you can definitely rest assured, I can swear to the Eye of Judgment to keep it absolutely confidential!" ”

Of course, Roman would not agree, if Emma was reliable, Roman might as well choose the store, and it is in order to achieve 100% security that Roman chooses the black market.

Therefore, he decisively rejected Emma's proposal: "I only need a black market position, if you agree, I will get Professor Zimbardo's works in the future, and I will come to you first." ”

Emma's eyes lit up and she replied, "Really? Dare to swear to the Eye of Judgment? ”

Roman, of course, would not have agreed: "No! It's just a verbal promise, believe it or not, if you refuse, I'll sell it all to the store in the future, anyway, they bid not low. ”

Emma thought for a while, and finally agreed: "It's just a black market address, it's not important information, and it doesn't hurt to tell you......"
