Chapter 38 Knowledge is Wealth

As the [Frozen Pearl] was placed in the small pocket on the outside of the satchel, Zuo Si immediately felt the heat leave him, replaced by a cool that could not be described in words.

It felt like walking into an air-conditioned room all of a sudden on a hot summer day.

Every pore of the whole body seems to be cheering.

The woman noticed the change in the expression on Zuo Si's face, and immediately reminded with a smile: "Be careful, the effect of [Frozen Pearl] is lasting, it's best not to keep it on your body for too long, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold."

Also, if you put it in a bucket.

Then after about an hour, the surface of the water will freeze.

After two or three hours, the entire bucket of water freezes into ice. ”

"Understood, thank you. I'll take notice. Zuo Si nodded slightly.

As the creator, he saw through the magic principles and workings of the [Frozen Pearl] the moment he got it.

To put it bluntly, it's a cold water pearl blessed with freezing magic.

Its spell level is so low that it doesn't even have a ring, and it's just a zero-ring trick at best.

However, instead of making it a one-time attack booster, the makers made it out of the ordinary, but instead released it smoothly and continuously into the surroundings.

In this way, the speed at which energy is consumed is perfectly balanced with the rate at which energy is drawn from the net.

If you ask Zuo Si to estimate the cost price, this thing is only worth 150 to 200 gold coins at best, and it definitely can't be more.

If he could get enough magic scrolls and 10 gold worth of cold water pearls, at his level of making magic items, he could make a dozen of them in a few moments.

It's a pity that Zuo Si doesn't have the ability to cast spells and copy scrolls now, so he can only endure the pain and spend a high price to buy one first to make do.

After all, he can't get sick no matter what.

"Is there anything else you want? Like this charm pendant, or that magic necklace? The woman took matters into her own hands and began to sell other things from the stall.

She had clearly seen how many gold coins were in the soldier's bag, and she was desperate to empty them all.

But unfortunately, Zuo Si was not interested in these low-level magic items at all, and instead set his sights on the books on the shelves, and after a little observation, he began to report the titles.

"Get me a copy of Elven Language and Writing - From Beginner to Mastery, a copy of the Dragon Language, a copy of the Tricks You Should Master from Apprentice to Mage, an Advanced Technique for Arcane Casterers, a copy of "On the Exemption of Spell Casters", a copy of "Introduction to the Magic Web", a copy of "Compulsory Course for Advanced Mages", a "Guide to Spell Strikes", and a copy of "Super Magic Techniques - Spell Delay".

"Elven Language and Writing - From Beginner to Mastery 100 gold, Dragon Language Encyclopedia 500 gold, From Apprentice to Mage, the tricks you should master 250 gold, Advanced Skills of Arcane Caster 2000 gold, 1000 gold for "On Spellcasting and Exemption Materials", 1300 gold for "Introduction to the Magic Web", 5000 gold for "Advanced Mage Compulsory Course", 750 gold for "Spell First Strike Guide", and 3000 gold for "Super Magic Technique - Spell Delay".

Every time a woman takes a book out of the shelf, she quotes the price of the book.

Similarly, Zuo Si will also chuckle in his heart after hearing the price.

When the price of the last book was quoted, he suddenly realized that he would cost 13,900 gold coins just to buy these books!

What is knowledge as wealth?

That's it!

And in Faerun, which is full of magical powers, knowledge is not only wealth, but also an incomparably powerful power.

Just when Zuo Si was shocked by the incredible price of magic books on the Faren Continent, the soldier immediately lowered his voice and reminded: "Master, I'm afraid that if we add up all the money in our hands, it's still a little bit worse. ”

"It doesn't matter. Let's take out all the money first, and I'll figure out how to do it if it's not enough. Zuo Si sighed helplessly.

Since he used to live in the Floating Tower, all of his books were borrowed from the Necromancer Archmage, Asta, and didn't cost a penny at all.

When I suddenly have to pay for my knowledge, I find that the books and notes that are readily available are so valuable outside.

Without saying a word, the soldier directly poured out the remaining gold coins in his bag, a total of 6,326 coins.

Immediately after, he took out the deposit slip given by the leader of the Thieves' Guild, Epke, including 8,214 silver and gold coins and a total of 36,395 silver coins of various colors.

Looking at these credentials and the gold coins stacked on the table, the woman quickly calculated in her mind, and her two strange eyes suddenly flashed with an unconcealable smile: "8,214 [Centaurs] minted by Amm can be converted into 4,107 gold coins.

As for the silver coins, the [Raven] of Sambia is worth slightly less in Port Carlin.

But for the sake of your consumption of so much at one time, I won't care about it, and it will be converted into 1,820 gold coins.

A total of 12,253 gold coins.

That is, you are still 1647 gold coins short. ”

"Can't you get a discount?"

Zuo Si blinked deliberately, trying to waive the balance by selling cuteness.

But unfortunately, the woman didn't eat this at all, and bluntly shook her head and refused: "Sorry, no." The rule of buying and selling magic items is that there is no bargaining. Otherwise, you can try to cut out one or two of these books. ”

"Well, forget it. Please see how much this is worth. ”

Zuo Si took off the cylindrical translucent energy storage crystal fixed on his belt and gently placed it on the counter.

"What is this?!"

It was evident that it was the first time the woman had seen such a strange thing, and immediately picked it up in order to discern its use and value through magic.

However, before the spell could be cast, Zuo Si took the initiative to speak: "This is a powerful energy storage device.

New technology and advanced enchantments that have never been seen before are used.

It can absorb and store all forms of lightning energy, and then release it like a magic wand.

However, unlike a normal lightning wand, which can only be released one shot.

It can drain all energy in one go, causing astonishing damage in a short period of time. ”

"Can I give it a try?" The woman stared at the cylindrical energy storage crystal and asked without raising her head.

"Of course, please."

Zuo Si made a gesture of please, and then pulled the soldier back a few steps, reserving a relatively safe distance.

The woman who received an affirmative answer did not talk nonsense, and immediately began to mobilize the magical energy in her blood.

When the spell and gesture were completed, a blinding flash of lightning shot out from between his fingers, and he instantly sank into the inside of the cylindrical crystal.

Looking at the silver electric light flickering inside the cylindrical crystal, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really absorbed and stored in it!"

How does this thing work?

What kind of materials, magic, and techniques does it use?

What is the maximum number of lightning spells that can be stored? ”

"The maximum cap should be thirty lightning bolts.

As for how it works, what materials, magic, and techniques are used, please forgive me for not being able to tell you.

After all......

No knowledge is priceless.

Especially the intimate knowledge that only I know. ”

When he said this, Zuo Si couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, and a sly smile like a little fox appeared.

Judging from the other party's reaction, it can be seen that this woman has been attracted by the cylindrical crystal memory.

At this moment, if you can't seize the opportunity to slaughter the last one, how can you be worthy of the nearly 14,000 gold coins spent on this stall today.

Even if you can't make a lot of money, at least you have to get back to your blood.

He kind of got it.

If you want to learn magic in this hellish place of Faeron, you have to prepare astronomical wealth.

Otherwise, you can't even afford a few books.

Not to mention high-level magic, legendary magic items, and even artifacts that can't be measured in money.
