The reason why I say "thrilling" is because these eyes have no whites at all, only a ball of red light.

The pupils resemble a crossed black cross, with a not-so-obvious white spot in the middle.

There is no doubt that this is not at all an eye that humans are capable of having.

Gods and Demons!

Zuo Si confirmed the identity of the woman in front of him almost instantly.

You must know that the gods and demons are a collective name for the hybrid offspring born of the combination of humanoid creatures and otherworldly creatures.

These include Asmo (a hybrid of humans and celestial beings), Half-Elemental (a hybrid of humans and elemental beings), and Tieflin (a hybrid of humans and purgatory, or abyssal creatures).

In addition to this, there are also Maedric Minotaurs, Maedric Elves, Maerician Orcs, and so on.

In this magical world where there is almost no reproductive isolation, it can be said that such half-breed intelligent creatures can be said to be quite common.

Some of them don't look much different from humans on the outside, except that they have some mysterious patterns on their bodies, or they awaken certain magical abilities as adults.

But there are others, which will be very obvious in appearance.

For example, the hair of a descendant of the fire elemental will be like a raging flame;

Tieflin may inherit the horns, tail, hooves, wings, and red or blue skin of one of the parents;

When he was living in the tower of the Floating City, Zuo Si had seen many Demon God Descendants, which were basically forcibly created by the artificial intervention of the frenzied mages.

He has even dissected more than a dozen of them by hand, making them into high-level undead guards with special spell-like abilities.

However, considering that the land of Kalinfir was once ruled by wind djinns and fire djinns for thousands of years, it is not surprising that some half-blood descendants have been born with humans.

The veiled woman noticed Zuo Si's reaction and immediately smiled and asked, "What, did my eyes scare you?" ”

"No, no, I was just fascinated by its unusual beauty."

Zuo Si showed extremely high emotional intelligence at critical moments.

Because he could already feel the amazing magical power contained in the other party's bloodline.

"Hehe, you're very good at talking." The woman's mouth, hidden under the veil, emits a pleasant laugh.

After all, no one doesn't like to hear nice things about themselves.

But soon, she pointed to the books, scrolls, rings, wands, gloves, and other things on the counter in front of her, and said, "Come, pick and choose." I guarantee that whatever you want to buy, you will find the right one here. ”

"What are these?"

Zuo Si asked, pointing to a row of books that were stacked vertically on the table, densely packed together.

Because he could feel that these books, made of different materials, all exuded a faint magical aura.

And there is also a sign erected on it, which reads in lingua franca: 5000 gold coins once.

On top of that, this is the only item in the entire magic market that is clearly priced, so it is particularly conspicuous.

The woman replied meaningfully, "These are the mage's spell books.

Each book contains a dozen or more spells.

I've cracked the protective magic that the original owner has blessed on it, and now anyone can open it and read it.

Of course, if you're a mage and have enough spell recognition, you can buy it and use it as your own spell book. ”

"What about the original owners of these spellbooks?" Zuo Si asked with some curiosity.

You must know that in Faerun, if a mage loses his spell book, it is as deadly as a soldier who goes to the battlefield with a gun without carrying bullets.

Often, mages see spellbooks as important as their lives.

"Dead! The owner of all these spell books is dead. After all, both Port Carlin and the Great Desert of Carlin are very dangerous and chaotic places, isn't it normal for a few mages to die every year? ”

The woman stretched out her slender fingers and gently ran them across the spine of the book, revealing a chilling smell of blood in her flat tone.

You must know that there are as many as thirty or forty of these spell books!

Behind each one is the ghost of a mage.

Zuo Si didn't feel any surprise at this result, just nodded lightly, and then asked, "Then why are all spell books priced at 5,000 gold coins?" Shouldn't it be priced according to the number of spells recorded, and then sold? ”

"No, I think you're mistaken.

The meaning of the sign is that for 5,000 gold, you can choose any of these spell books.

However, the premise is that you cannot open the pages of a book to see the contents, and judge the value of the book only by its appearance.

To put it bluntly, it's a gamble in disguise.

If you're lucky, the spell book you selected has more than 5,000 gold coins in it, and you'll naturally earn it.

But if you are unlucky, the spell recorded in the spell book is less than 5,000 gold coins, and you can only consider yourself unlucky.

I think this reflects the impermanence of fate.

How's that, it's interesting, isn't it? ”

The woman explained with a smile.

Spellbook mystery box?

OK!

Zuo Si secretly sighed that Port Carlin is indeed one of the largest and most prosperous port cities in Faerun.

The magic item dealer here is really not an ordinary person who can play, and he really understands the psychology of most people's gamblers.

Although he also had an urge to try his luck, he finally held back and asked bluntly: "I want something that can regulate the body temperature, do you have any good recommendations?" ”

"Hmm—let me think."

The woman quickly turned around her counter twice, then took down three palm-sized boxes from the high shelves with the [Mage's Hand], opened them in turn and placed them in front of Zuo Si.

"The first box is the [Environmental Charm of Endurance]. With it, it can basically cope with all kinds of hot and cold environments, and costs 2500 gold coins.

The second box contains the [Bracelet of Spring]. It can keep the temperature of the annular area around the wearer's body at 20 degrees Celsius, which is as comfortable and pleasant as spring, and costs 3,500 gold coins.

The third box contains the Frozen Pearl. As long as it is simply placed, it will automatically reduce the ambient temperature within a radius of 15 meters, and the price is 800 gold coins. ”

"I want the [Frozen Pearl] in the third box."

Zuo Si didn't even think about it, so he chose the cheapest one.

It's not because of the slamming of the door, it's that the price of magic items is just outrageous.

Don't look at the fact that he has a total value of 30,000 to 33,000 gold coins on hand, but he can't actually buy a few things.

Take the "Spell Book Blind Box" as an example, you can only open a maximum of six copies.

If you change it to a magic weapon, a +2 scimitar without any additional attributes is worth 4,000 gold, and a person like Harlett with extra lightning damage after hitting is estimated to be in the early 8,000s.

Yes!

The price of magic equipment is so outrageous that ordinary adventurers or mercenaries can't afford it.

Therefore, Zuo Si can only save if he can, and spend limited funds on key places first.

"No problem. Give me 800 gold and it's yours. ”

As she spoke, the woman waved her hand, and the other two boxes closed instantly, and then flew back to the position they had placed before.

Without saying a word, the soldier opened his bag, counted 800 gold coins from it, and piled them on the table.

About half of them are [Dante] issued by Am, and the other half is [Bikenta] issued by Carlinshan.

Clearly, he was testing which type of gold coin was more popular and had higher purchasing power in Port Carlin.

Unfortunately, the woman did not show any reaction to the two gold coins.

After roughly counting the number and confirming that it was okay, he threw it all into a bottomless pocket next to it.

This means that the difference in purchasing power between the two coins is very small, almost negligible.
