Chapter 5: The Magician's Transaction

Coming to the house on this side of the earth, Xu Yue quickly checked the door locks and windows. After making sure that no one was inside, he quickly changed Talumia's clothes, put on a normal casual outfit, and took out a few hundred dollars hidden under the mattress from under the bed and went out of the house.

After leaving the house, he took a taxi directly to the nearest shop that specialized in experimenting with glassware. Seven or eight minutes later, he took another taxi back to his lodgings with a suitcase.

In the living room, I carefully opened the box, which contained a variety of glassware for chemical tests, mainly test tubes and bottles of various sizes.

Xu Yue picked a small test tube and held it in his hand, took out the test crystal that Ricky gave him, and carefully touched it on the test tube.

One by one, the scales on the crystal lit up with green light, and his heart beat faster and faster as the scale filled with green light became higher and higher, and only stopped when the green light reached the ninth scale.

The look of gain and loss on his face was replaced by ecstasy, and he waved his fist excitedly, then picked up a few other glassware and tested them.

Several glass bottles were tested and showed basically nine scales, and two or three showed eight scales. According to Ricky, the value of these bottles is so high that they can be classified as rare items in Talumia.

Afraid that the test crystals would affect the test results due to the environment of the earth, he opened the space door and took the glass bottles to the room on the side of Talumia to test them again, and saw that the results of the two tests were the same, and his heart relaxed.

When he heard Ricky say that the Bottle of Innocence needed to be made in an area with low magic concentration, he had an idea in his mind.

If you want to talk about low magic concentration, I'm afraid that the whole of Talamia can't find a region with a lower magic concentration than this side of the earth.

The concentration of magic elements contained in the material of zuò glass on the earth side is pitifully low, so the step of activating the magic element in the material on the Taramian side is omitted.

This means that this side of the earth is perfectly equipped to make a pure container.

Sure enough, the truth was exactly what he had guessed. All of the earth's glassware are pure vessels.

After being excited for a while, Xu Yue seemed to remember something, and frowned as she looked at the box of glass bottles.

The lowest scale of the glass bottles in his box is now eight scales, which is worth a lot. But for him at this time, it was a bit too valuable.

The eight-scale glass bottle can only be used by some strong people or relatively large forces.

He is still just an ordinary person at this time, and if he takes these glass bottles and directly goes to those strong people or large forces to trade, I am afraid that he will be swallowed and there will be no slag left.

This is the same as a child who can't even walk steadily on the road and swaggers on the street with a million dollars.

Xu Yue rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, sat on the edge of the bed and thought.

In the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to sell these glasses directly, the risk is too great, and almost ninety percent of them may bring him life to danger.

"Damn! it's a nuisance, it's a problem!" he slapped the table with some annoyance.

After thinking of several solutions, it didn't work in the end, and he picked up the glass bottles with a little headache and looked at them. Suddenly, a vague thought flashed through his mind when he saw the label of the factory date on the glass bottle.

After quickly picking up a few glass bottles and testing them again, they were divided into two piles according to the scale of the test, one side was eight scales, and the other was nine scales.

Then he compared the label dates of the glass bottles on both sides, and immediately smiled.

The results of the comparison confirmed his suspicion that the longer the glass bottle was out of the factory, the higher the scale.

The glass bottles with a scale of nine were two years ahead of those with a scale of eight.

According to Xu Yue's guess, because the concentration of magic on the earth is very low, it is even only a dozen times that of Talamia. It stands to reason that the purity of the glass bottles produced here should be at least about 10 scales.

But in fact, these ordinary glass bottles he bought were eight and nine scales, and there must be something that increased the concentration of the magic elements in these glass bottles.

He thought of the flames that the earth had to come into contact with as it fired glass. No matter how low the concentration of magic elements in the earth's air is, the concentration of fire elements in the form of flames, which violently releases energy, must be much higher than the concentration in the air.

When Talamia 6 fired the glass bottle, it was melted and fired with a special magic array to minimize the impact of the fire element, but there was no such means on the earth, so even in such a low environment, the purity of the glass fired could not directly reach the high scale.

After the glass bottle is manufactured, because the concentration of magic elements in the earth's air is far lower than that of the glass bottle itself, the magic elements in the glass will gradually disperse.

Therefore, the longer the glass bottle has been in the factory, the higher the purity, and vice versa, the lower the purity.

After thinking about these questions, Xu Yue picked up the box of glass bottles and returned to the house on this side of the earth. This box of glass bottles can't be sold, at least he can't sell it until he has enough strength to protect himself.

He took a taxi again to the shop that sold glassware, and after asking the owner, he bought some glassware with different production dates, and then hurriedly took a taxi back home under the strange eyes of the shopkeeper.

As soon as he got home and closed the door, he measured again with trepidation and bought two new glass bottles, and the test results made him greatly relieved.

According to the display of the test crystal, those glass bottles that have just left the factory for about half a month show a scale of five, but the intensity of the green light of the six scale is only a little bit close to lighting up the light of the sixth scale. Obviously, these five-scale glass bottles are the best quality even in the five-scale range.

Glass bottles that have been in the factory for half a year show a scale of six to seven scales.

After his rough estimate, he listed the relationship between the manufacturing time and purity of glass bottles, which was about five scales for glass bottles that had just left the factory, six to seven scales for those that had been manufactured for about six months to one year, eight scales for those that were more than two years old, and nine scales for four years. As for how long the ten-scale glass bottle will be, it remains to be tested.

After confirming his thoughts, Xu Yue waved his arm excitedly, and then picked out a very good glass bottle on the seven-scale scale and wrapped it in cloth.

After that, he began to make various mental simulations of the actions that were going to unfold, anticipating the various situations that might be encountered and coming up with ways to deal with them.

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the Night Song Tavern was still as lively as usual. Xu Yue walked into the tavern as usual, but he didn't order a glass of Suser and chat with the people in the tavern as usual.

After saying hello to a few acquaintances, he asked the proprietor Kate a few words before walking towards the second floor of the tavern, standing in front of the door of a guest room, he knocked lightly.

"Who?"

"Hello, Mr. Peter Drucker, I'm here to talk to you about your mission in the tavern!" said Xu Yue at the door.

Hearing this, the door quickly opened, and the magic apprentice he had seen at Ricky's alchemy shop a few days ago stood in the doorway. I saw that his eyes were red at this time, and his expression was a little haggard. With his unkempt head and tired eyes, it was immediately apparent that he hadn't had a good rest in a while.

"You have a seven-scale pure container?" asked Peter Drucker with some eagerness.

"Mr. Drucker, do you see if we should talk in another place, after all, this is not a good place to talk. Xu Yue looked around, shrugged his shoulders and said.

The magic apprentice realized that he was indeed a little abrupt at this time, he smiled embarrassedly, and after straightening his clothes, he politely invited Xu Yue into the room.

"I'm sorry, I'm slacking off! I think you know that for some reason I'm very annoyed during this time, so I'm a little impatient, I hope you don't care. By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet!"

After the two sat down at the table, Xu Yue said with a smile: "Of course, I am here to solve your troubles for you. My name is Xu Yue, and as you can see, I'm a Chatterner, so my surname is Xu, and Yue is my name. ”

"Hehe, the names of the Chatterners are indeed peculiar. I've also spoken to a mage from Chattner before, and many of the Chathner people's life philosophies and ways of life are really thought-provoking, and I have always longed to visit Chattner to increase my knowledge, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity. ”

It can be seen that Peter Drucker is indeed very anxious about the matter of the pure container, but in this anxious situation, he still greeted Xu Yue very patiently, without showing the slightest impatience.

Neither of them was on chatting, and after a few casual words, they quickly got to the point.

Xu Yue first took out a test tube wrapped in cloth from his bosom and put it on the table, and then said, "I think you also know my intention." I've met you at Ricky's alchemy shop before, and then I learned from talking to Ricky that you're going to buy a seven-scale pure container. It just so happens that I have one here that I bought for some reason but didn't use. ”

Peter Drucker couldn't help but look excited when he saw the glass bottle.

After obtaining Xu Yue's consent, he carefully picked up the glass bottle and looked at it, then took out a piece of test crystal and gently touched the wall of the bottle, and suddenly a green light of seven scales lit up on the crystal.

"Yes, it's a pure container with seven scales, and the brightness of the test crystal is still of the highest quality. Mr. Xu Yue, are you planning to trade directly?" said Peter Drucker with an undisguised expression of excitement.

"Of course, but I have a little request for the payment of the task!" Xu Yue nodded and said.

Peter Drucker's hands paused slightly after hearing this, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He was a little embarrassed and said, "This ...... Mr. Xu Yue, I won't tell you. Because I didn't expect that I would have an unexpected gain this time, the funds I carried were not very abundant, and 800 gold coins was already the highest price I could give. ”

Xu Yue shook his head and smiled, "I think you misunderstood. I'm not trying to take advantage of the fire, 800 gold coins is already a high price, and asking for a higher amount would be a bit too insatiable!"

After looking at Peter Drucker's puzzled expression, he continued: "This question has to start from the beginning. In fact, strictly speaking, I am still walking with you. Of course, in our words, I am a knocker. ”

When Peter Drucker heard this, an expression of understanding appeared on his face.

Magicians generally accept disciples for a period of inspection, and if the disciple can satisfy him, he will give his exclusive magic inheritance mark to the disciple, and then the disciple can really start learning magic and have the status of a magic apprentice. A knocker is a disciple who is still in the investigation period and has been accepted by a magician.

"I'm rude! I didn't expect you to be an explorer of magic, please forgive me for my previous rudeness!" Peter Drucker said with an apologetic bow.

His attitude has changed significantly, and his address to Xu Yue has changed from you before to you. For professionals with the same status as themselves, it is a relatively rude behavior to call "you" directly.

"I was negligent, and I was rude for not identifying myself in advance. Xu Yue also bowed slightly.

After a moment of silence, he continued, "Actually, I'm in trouble right now! My teacher died during an expedition two months ago, and although he gave me the Legacy Mark before he died, he didn't have time to teach me anything about magic. ”

"So what do you mean?" asked Peter Drucker tentatively.

"I mean, the reward for trading has been changed to six hundred gold plus a basic magic primer. Of course, the variety of introductory books should not be less than the standard subjects studied by an intermediate magic apprentice of the academic school. Xu Yue said with a slight smile.

"Is it just a standard subject for an intermediate magic apprentice in the academy, and you don't need any other skills or books on special magic techniques?"

"Yes, only the basics are needed, and I think you know that for a knocker like me, the most important thing is not to cast spells and special magic, but to lay a good foundation for magic learning!"

Peter Drucker hesitated slightly, then nodded and said, "No problem! Books in the basic category of magic apprentices are not within the secret scope of the academy, and they can be purchased even in the magic guild. That said, I've taken advantage of you, and these books can be bought in the Magic Guild for about 150 gold coins. ”

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. In fact, to be honest, as a seeker of the mysteries of magic without my teacher, I know very little about the world of magic. So if it's convenient for you, I hope you can briefly introduce me to this situation, and the extra money will be your reward for explaining to me. This information may be just some common sense to you, but it solves my big problems for me. Xu Yue said with a smile.

Peter Drucker nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll tell you more about it later." However, before trading, can you please show your Legacy Seal, you should know that this is a required procedure. ”

Xu Yue nodded, and stretched out his right hand very simply, only to see that as he closed his eyes and concentrated, a strange symbol flashed with a faint silver light and emerged from the back of his right hand.

The legacy of the mages on the Talamia 6 is not something that can be taught casually. Generally, only after reaching the level of a first-class magician, registering with the Magic Guild and being recognized by the Magic Guild, can you be considered an official mage. Mages who are not registered are called wild mages, and they are not recognized by the Magic Guild, and the status and treatment enjoyed by the two are also very different.

As the largest magician organization on the Great 6 of Talumia, the Magic Guild has huge resources and power, whether it is an academic or a inheritance magician, they must register with the Magic Guild before they will be recognized by various countries and organizations on the Great 6.

Official mages can enjoy the resources provided by the corresponding magic guild according to their level, and can purchase many things such as magic knowledge, magic materials, and magic items from the magic guild. And the wild mage can't enjoy this, all the resources and channels have to be obtained by themselves, and the scope is much narrower.

The difference between the two is as incomparable as that of a medical specialist in a famous hospital in a big city and a barefoot doctor in the most remote rural area.

Seeing Xu Yue revealing his magic mark, Oward also stretched out his left hand, and there was a light blue imitation in his hand

The magic imprint like the Buddha's flower crown also emitted a faint blue light. When the hands of the two approached, they saw that the two magic marks suddenly shot out a white light at the same time and docked together.

Seeing this, Peter Drucker nodded and withdrew his hand, and the resonance between the two marks disappeared in an instant.

"Good! The imprints we've verified each other. Then here's the deal. With that, Oward walked over to the bed, took out four books and a card from a baggage, and walked back.

"The basic knowledge of beginner and intermediate magic apprentices in the academy includes basic magic principles, elementary magic material identification, elementary alchemy, and level zero magic Book 1 and Book 2 respectively. Two of these zero-level magic volumes were synthesized into one by me, and they're all here. This anonymous trading card contains six hundred gold coins, which can be cashed out at any of the Magic Guild's trading shops. ”

Xu Yue just looked at the four magic books and put them away. As for the trading cards, he had heard from Oward, but he hadn't seen them before. However, this kind of card is very easy to recognize, and the amount and unit of the currency stored are clearly written on the card, so you are not afraid of being cheated.

There is a small magic material purchase shop in the magic guild in the town, and it is very convenient to exchange huàn gold coins, so he did not ask the other party to pay cash.

After the transaction was completed, both parties were happy. Xu Yue received the magical knowledge and money he desperately needed, while Peter Drucker underpaid two hundred gold coins for some books and information that were not valuable to him, and more importantly, solved his urgent need for pure containers. With the lava flower he had collected, he could make a very good profit when he returned, enough to make up for the loss of the Pure Container and make a lot of money.

Next, Peter Drucker gave Xu Yue a detailed introduction to what he needed to know as a magic apprentice. Feeling that the faster this transaction was, he even explained some adventurous experience and common sense in detail.;
