Chapter 48: Buying Poison

After that, the transaction went much smoother, and Xia Duo saw that most of the people who bought scrolls here to save their lives were ordinary apprentices, and there were not many formal apprentices, and most of the things they bought were only 1 ring of [Summoning Mount] scrolls.

A few also purchased scrolls such as [Summoning Monsters] and [Mage Armor].

If you look at it this way, there should be no mounts in the army, of course, Xia Duo prefers to think that these people are preparing for their lives, and he can only watch others shop with envy.

He himself did not have the budget to buy a spell scroll, in a word, poor!

After a lot of queuing, it was finally Xia Duo's turn.

"I want to exchange for a study scroll of the [Arcane Seal]."

The sales apprentice was blind again and looked at the gloomy-faced mage, but this time the mage did not scold him, but quickly confirmed Xia Duo's authority with Ta Ling, and personally took out a study scroll from the closed shelf behind him and handed it to Xia Duo.

He also said for the first time, "Make good use of it." ”

Xia Duo hurriedly responded and took the scroll, and at the same time, the familiar ethereal mechanical voice of Ta Ling also sounded in Xia Duo's ears, "Apprentice Xia Duo, exchange for a [Secret Law Mark] learning scroll, exchange permission -1." ”

Putting away the scroll, Xia Duo quickly left the No. 6 Material Claim Office.

The official mage's attention made him a little uneasy, and he was going to buy some poison to poison the crossbow arrows, but now he didn't plan to buy them here.

I didn't even ask, and I just left.

……

Library level, in the Aldridge Transcription Room.

Xia Duo bluntly said that he needed a poison strong enough to fight the orcs, and Eldridge seemed to have expected it, and began to introduce it unhurriedly:

"I only have two poisons here, one is the product of a failed experiment by a formal mage in the mage tower, and the other is obtained from an outside merchant, which one do you want?"

What are the two prices? What about the amount of poison and the intensity of its toxicity? ”

"One standard bottle, the first 50 gold coins, the second 20 gold coins, as for toxicity, both can have an effect on the orcs."

"Impact? Not killing? Xia Duo hesitated.

Eldridge shook his head, "The orc physique is far beyond that of ordinary humans, and it is difficult for ordinary poisons to cause fatal damage to them, and it is quite good to be able to have some effects." ”

Xia Duo secretly sighed in his heart, it would be good if there was a poison that could seal the throat of the orcs with blood, but after listening to the prices of these two so-called ordinary poisons, Xia Duo understood that there was really that kind of deadly poison, and it was not something he could afford.

Even if these poisons are generally still to be bought, it is much better to be poisonous than not poisonous, so he asked:

"So what exactly do these two poisons do to the orcs?"

"50 gold coins is a paralyzing poison, using the orc's actual test, the orc will instantly paralyze when he drinks a bottle, even if it is just smeared on the weapon and injured, it can make the orc in a trance."

Eldridge was quite confident in this paralyzing poison accidentally created by the mage, and even said that it had been measured with orcs, but Xia Duo did not doubt this, but immediately asked about the second poison.

"20 gold coins are just an ordinary poison, a bottle is enough to kill a human, but for an orc, even if you drink a bottle, you won't die on the spot, you just become weak, but if you hurt the orc on the weapon, the orc will also become weak, but that level of weakness-"

The rest of the words Edridge didn't say any more, Xia Duo understands, drinking a bottle is just getting weak, so how much effect can the poison on the weapon have?

Xia Duo immediately decided, "Let's have a bottle of paralyzing poison." ”

Counting 50 gold coins and handing them to Edrich, Shado was given a bottle of paralyzing poison, which was indeed a standard bottle, less than 50 milliliters.

After calculation, 1 gold coin is less than 1 ml, which is more expensive than gold.

After putting away the poison vial, Xia Duo was about to leave, but Eldridge stopped him, "I will tell you a piece of news, there is a big man in the territory, he is the main force to deal with the orcs this time, this time the apprentices only need to be responsible for cleaning up the scattered orcs in the forest, pay attention to find more people to unite." ”

The first time he heard the news, he thought it was just a rumor, and when he heard the news again, although Dean told him that he had heard it from Edrich, he still kept a little thought.

"Is the message accurate? Then why didn't anyone come to help in the past, I heard-"

Edrich suddenly made an unfathomable look, looked in the direction of the door of the transcription room, and said, "Slow down, guest!" ”

“……”

Xia Duo's forehead jumped, he didn't say anything more, and left directly.

He had almost believed the news, and it looked like Edrich would say it to every guest, so what was he trying to do?

A big question mark flashed through Xia Duo's mind, but now that was not the time to think about it, Xia Duo quickly returned to the dormitory floor and began to sort out his personal battle belongings.

Hand crossbows and arrows must be brought, and self-defense weapons must not be forgotten, as for the one-handed sword, although it is a light weapon suitable for mages, it is only relative.

Xia Duo estimated that this one-handed sword weighed at least four or five pounds, and it was too tiring to carry it, let alone hold it for battle, besides, when it really came time for him to fight with a sword, it didn't seem to make a difference whether he had a sword or not.

In front of the orcs, how much difference can there be between a one-handed sword and the iron dagger that Xia Duo has always carried with him?

With little hesitation, Xia Duo chose to abandon the one-handed sword, and considering that the next time for the orc tide to end was unpredictable, school supplies were a must.

If you want to bring the textual "Biography of Archmage Darth Riel", you don't need a dictionary. You have to bring your magic lecture notes, spell notes, and study scrolls.

In addition, there are 3 copies of the [Brightness Technique] scroll that Xia Duo did not sell, and I also brought it, who knows if I will use it later, anyway, it is not heavy.

Then there were candles, a change of clothes, inkwells, quills, and a few scattered gold and silver coins.

After putting away all his belongings, Xia Duo locked the door with a simple lock he had bought before leaving.

On the way to the hall, Xia Duo saw ordinary apprentices, as well as formal apprentices, some with swords, but more often than not, Xia Duo gave up the burden of four or five pounds.

By the time they arrived at the hall, nearly a hundred people had already gathered here, and a full-fledged mage stood at the outermost side of the crowd, near the entrance of the mage tower.

Shado hurriedly searched for Sami and Devane in the crowd, and if they were to unite, they might be good allies, but the truth may be that the other official apprentices didn't look down on Shado at all.

It was not difficult to find two people who were quite familiar among the nearly a hundred people, Xia Duo looked over one by one, but then his face darkened - Dean the guy stared at the fiery red hair, and there were already four or five ordinary apprentices gathered around him.

He really didn't refuse to come, seeing that he seemed to want to continue to pull people, Xia Duo didn't care about looking for Sammy, and hurriedly pushed through the crowd and squeezed towards Dean.
