If you focus on making a magical item, you will inevitably put aside other things at hand.

But instead of being disturbed, the work efficiency has improved.

Both the production speed and the time consumed are almost half less than before.

But the sorceress obviously didn't know that the reason why Zuo Si became faster was due to the drastic increase in the creator's level, which made it more convenient to use the two abilities of [Refining] and [Shaping], and the effect and influence range were much stronger than before.

On the other hand, he had almost gone through the books in the library, and there was no need to continue to stall.

He even took the time to transcribe a few more useful second-ring spells on the blank pages of the two spell books at hand.

For example, the [Detective Mind] that can detect the superficial thoughts of others;

Another example is [Wild Power], which can give the target's strength, agility, and constitution attributes +2 at the same time;

Or a visual connection that can be observed through the eyes of other creatures.

In short, they are all unpopular spells that are not available in some spell books, and they are relatively rare and rare, and are rarely used by other spellcasters.

By studying and transcribing these spells, Zuo Si discovered a very headache.

That's the special ink used to transcribe spells and scrolls, and it's just too expensive.

According to the first ring of magic transcription, one page of the spell book needs to be occupied, the second ring needs to occupy two pages, the third ring needs to occupy three pages, and so on......

To reach the highest nine rings, you need to occupy a full nine pages.

The ink required to transcribe a page of a spell book costs almost 100 gold coins.

This means ......

Just if you want to transcribe all the spells of the first and second rings, you have to spend sixty or seventy thousand dollars on ink money alone!

If the range is expanded below the fifth ring, then the number will swell to hundreds of thousands or even millions.

In addition to this, there is also the cost of renting a spellbook transcript from someone else (about the spell level multiplied by 50 gold) and the cost of purchasing scrolls.

Anyway, if you want to learn magic in the Faeron Continent, you have to prepare a huge amount of money first.

It gives the feeling that no matter how much money you have, you will never have enough to spend.

What's more, the more advanced the spell, the harder it is to get it.

Magic scrolls and books that exceed the five rings are rarely openly sold in the market.

If you want a higher level, you need to find another way yourself.

or conduct secret transactions with red-robed mages who have opened concessions everywhere;

Or join some powerful caster organization;

or become a disciple of a "great mage";

or find a plane merchant who tries to trade with a plane merchant who "deceived you and didn't negotiate";

Or become an adventurer and explore the ancient ruins to find the books, knowledge, and scrolls you need.

That's why Zosi had to leave Port Carlin and head to Candlecastle.

As the largest library on the west coast of Feren, the knowledge and spells recorded there may not be the most powerful, but it must be the most systematic and comprehensive.

Thinking of this, he smiled and shrugged his shoulders in response, "Because I'm about to leave Port Carlin." Before leaving, I'll use up all the materials you've prepared. ”

"Leave? So fast? Aisha froze visibly.

"Hmm. I'm going to stay away before the guild war begins. Oh, by the way, I'm going to buy a lot of stuff from you before I leave. As he spoke, Zuo Si took out a list that had been prepared in advance.

The sorceress took it and glanced at it about twice, the corners of her mouth suddenly rose sharply, and she replied without hesitation: "No problem!

By the day after tomorrow at the latest, I'll have everything on my list ready.

Between my cast level is LV13.

Therefore, the [Fireball Wand] and [Disarming Wand (Three-Ring "Disarming Magic")] made by me are both priced at 29,250 gold coins, [Invisibility Wand] 19,500, and [Qiangji Wand (Four-Ring Magic.] Can allow the Mage to restore a spell that has already been cast up to three rings)] 39000.

In addition, for magic items such as [Protective Arrows], I only have one [Reflection Shield] here.

It can reflect most attacks such as arrows back for 6500 gold. ”

"Yes, I want it." Zuo Si didn't try to bargain.

Although the total value of these things has reached a staggering more than 120,000 gold coins.

Especially the four wands, each of which is so expensive that it makes you want to vomit blood.

But for the sake of safety along the way, the money that should be spent still has to be spent.

After all, for things like [Fireball Wand] and [Disarm Wand], the higher the cast level of the maker, the more powerful it becomes.

Take Fireball, for example.

The same spell, if cast by a LV5 arcane caster, can be as powerful as a large Molotov cocktail.

But if it is released by an arcane spellcaster at LV13, the power is almost like a napalm with white phosphorus added to it.

The gap between the two is so big that it's like two completely different spells.

[Strong Memory Wand] can break the spell slot limit of low-level mages and give the enemy a huge "surprise" in battle.

Anyway, gold coins were originally meant to be spent.

Zuo Si would not be like those misers and dragons, hiding mountains of gold and silver in his family's treasury or lair, and he would not spend half a copper plate until he died.

"I like your coolness."

Aisha couldn't hide the ecstasy in her heart a little, not only the corners of her mouth were smiling, but her eyes were also smiling.

Before meeting Zuo Si, she had never thought that she could snatch so much profit from one person.

……

Meanwhile, at the slave market in Port Carlin, merchant Bernard has just completed a huge deal with the Lang Nail Chamber of Commerce, the largest local merchant organization and slave trading group.

Eighty able-bodied male (anti-harmony) slaves, 70 healthy female (anti-harmony) slaves, and a thousand hard-working camels became the property of the caravan.

Having learned his previous lessons, he hired a team of reputable local mercenaries as guards and administrators, totaling a dozen or so people.

Looking at these ragged slaves, full of confusion and fear for the future, Bernard pinched his nose and instructed the mercenary leader beside him: "Take them to take a bath, eat something, rest for two days, buy some cheapest linen and felt for clothes, and get some leather for shoes." Otherwise, the terrible temperature difference between day and night in the Karlin Desert alone would kill them by a third. ”

"Understood! I'll arrange it right away. ”

A man who looked to be about thirty years old nodded thoughtfully, and without saying a word, began to beckon his mercenaries to work.

Managing slaves is one of the must-have skills for most adventurers and mercenaries in Port Carlin.

Because almost half of their employers were wealthy merchants and aristocrats who owned a large number of slaves.

Some are even willing to pay high prices for professionals to get some escaped slave back and torture them alive to vent their anger.

Caravans like this were the only ones to buy slaves for labor, all the more common in the Carinfir area.

Just as the mercenaries, wielding leather whips and sticks, drove the dirty slaves to the well for washing, a person in charge of the Lang Nail Chamber of Commerce suddenly came from a distance and said with a smile: "Bernard, my dear friend. Since you have purchased a lot of goods from us this time, we have unanimously decided to give you a gift. ”

"Gifts?" A hint of alarm flashed in Bernard's eyes.

After all, he is a shrewd businessman himself, and he knows the businessman's mindset very well.

If a businessman says he's going to give you something, he's going to want to make more money out of you.
