"You think I can't crack the inner structure and secrets of this cylindrical crystal, so you want the lion to open his mouth?" The woman looked up and asked in a slightly provocative tone.

Zuo Si smiled slightly and nodded without hesitation: "That's right!" If you feel sure, make an offer. Anyway, after buying it, whether you smash it open or use all kinds of magic to find out, it is your personal freedom. ”

Obviously, the reason why he is so fearless is because of several special abilities conferred by the profession of creator.

Without [Refining] and [Shaping], even if outsiders figure out the materials and the magic used in manufacturing, they will not be able to replicate the real energy storage device.

What's more, this thing also adopts some technical design concepts similar to modern batteries, and it was finally made after more than 300 failed experiments.

Want to crack?

Let's first understand the dozens of composite materials and compounds that can only be made by modern industry, as well as the original rune ordering!

You must know that even the necromancer - Asta, took it and studied it for more than a week, but in the end he couldn't solve the mystery.

Of course, there are reasons why he is not particularly interested in it.

After all, for a powerful spellcaster who is obsessed with necromancy and the pursuit of eternal life, it is simply not worth wasting too much time and energy on something like the enhanced version of the [Lightning Wand].

With that skill, it is better to build a few more flesh golems, or other high-level undead creatures.

"Excellent! Since you're so confident, I'd like to give it a try.

The price of a normal Magic Deposit item is usually calculated by multiplying the base price by the number of spell rings and then by the Maker's cast level.

Since you're a unique skill, I'm giving you an additional 5,000 gold to add value to your knowledge.

Now please tell me your cast level. ”

The woman was clearly confident in her knowledge of the field of magical artifact making, and didn't think that this funny gadget would stump her at all.

That pride and strong self-confidence that is about to come out also proves that her character is definitely influenced by the other half of her non-human blood.

"My cast level is five."

Zuo Si didn't mean to waste time on his tongue, and straightforwardly reported the rank of his creator.

The woman glanced down at the gem she was holding in her hand, and then asked, "Are you a mage?" ”

She didn't show any surprise or surprise at the boy in front of her, who looked less than ten years old, had five casting levels.

Because in the caster's circle, appearance cannot be used as a basis for judging one's true age at all.

Not to mention making yourself younger, it is possible to change gender and even race.

Some stupid apprentices will even turn themselves into chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and other critters because they are not careful enough to study the magic of change.

"Sorry, it's a secret. All I can tell you is that I'm an arcane spellcaster. ”

Zuo Si was very cautious and gave a vague answer.

He wasn't a fool, and he could see that the gem he was holding in his hand was most likely a magical item that could tell if someone else was lying.

If the answer is too direct, others can deduce a lot of useful information from it.

Seeing that Zuo Si was starting to become vigilant, the woman didn't continue to probe further, but put away the gem and said straightforwardly: "The base price of a magic wand is 750 gold coins.

This interesting device of yours can absorb and store the Three Rings [Lightning Technique], which is calculated according to the Three Rings Magic.

Multiply by the cast level at the end.

It's ...... altogether."

"Wait!"

Before the other party could finish the calculation, Zuo Si immediately interrupted.

"My energy storage device is not a magic wand.

Not only can it absorb the [Lightning] of the three rings, but it can also absorb the [Chain Lightning] of the six rings, and even the lightning breath of the blue dragon.

And it won't be damaged after the last shot is consumed like a wand.

It is a recyclable device that can be used to defend against lightning attacks.

So there's something wrong with the base price you give. ”

"And how much do you think it should be?" The woman asked rhetorically with a blank face.

Obviously, she also understands that she is deliberately driving down the price by using the energy storage device as a magic wand.

Now that it is debunked, it can only be forced into the bargaining link.

"I think it's reasonable to raise the base price to at least 1,500 gold coins."

After a little thought, Zuo Si directly doubled the original base price.

But this kind of sky-high asking behavior immediately attracted the ridicule of the woman: "1500 gold coins?

Do you have any misconceptions about the pricing of magic items?

Or a newbie who simply doesn't know how to do it?

At this price, you can buy a 50-round three-ring spell wand.

And your device is completely empty right now.

I'm out up to 1200. ”

“1200？”

Zuo Si quickly calculated in his mind the money he could finally get in his hand, and immediately nodded.

"Deal!"

"1,200 multiplied by 5 and then 3, and finally 5,000 added, for a total of 23,000 gold coins. After deducting the 1647 you owe me before, I should pay you 21353 gold. ”

The woman obviously has very good mental arithmetic skills, and she can calculate the accounts between the two in the blink of an eye.

Just as she was about to open the cloth pocket that was suspected to be the [Dimensional Bag] to take the money, Zuo Si suddenly pointed to the blind box of the spell book and said, "I want to try my luck." ”

"Oh? Do you also want to feel the impermanence of fate?

No problem! Take your pick.

Keep in mind that you can't open or cast any spells for identification.

Its value can only be judged by its appearance. ”

With that, a hint of amusement flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she made a gesture of please, as if expecting to see some interesting picture.

Zuo Si noticed the evil look in the shopkeeper's eyes, and immediately realized that most of the magic recorded in these spell books was probably not worth 5,000 gold coins.

But he didn't show any nervousness, calmly picked up one spell book after another of different materials, colors and decoration styles to examine carefully, and then put them back one by one.

The selection process lasted a full twenty minutes.

In the end, he selected two of the dozens of spell books.

One of them looked very plain, except for the pale yellow cover, which was quite complete, and the rest of the place was in tatters.

Some pages even have uneven jagged edges.

The other book is the opposite, with a cover densely encrusted with precious stones, and even gold and silver edges on the edges of the cover.

"Are you sure it's these two? You must know that after choosing, no matter how many spells are recorded in it after opening, you can't go back on it. The woman reminded meaningfully.

Through this pretended kind reminder, she was able to release an invisible pressure on the person who chose the spell book to influence their initial judgment.

But Zuo Si was not affected at all, and responded neatly: "I know." Can I open them now? ”

"Of course! It's your freedom. In addition, I will deduct 10,000 gold from the payment. ”

Seeing that the "little guy" in front of her was not affected by herself, the woman was obviously a little disappointed.

But that disappointment soon turned into shock and disbelief.

I saw that after the two spell books selected by Zuo Si were opened, after the simple spell identification of the female shopkeeper, the tattered one recorded more than forty spells.

Although most of them are low-level magic of the first and second rings.

But there are also five three-ring spells and two four-ring spells.

There is no doubt that this spell book is definitely worth more than 5000 gold coins.

Although the number of spells recorded in the other book is a little less, there is a five-ring [teleportation technique].

As a shrewd merchant, the woman knows very well how difficult it is to pick out a spell book worth more than 5000 gold coins from these "rags".

And some of the spell books had been sitting here for years, and even she couldn't quite remember what kind of spells were written in them.

But today, someone actually picked out two books at once.

It made her wonder if the other party had been kissed and blessed by the goddess of luck, Tymorrah.
