Chapter 170: The Price of a Strange Transaction
"Your price is learning."
"Knowledge is power?" Melina laughed, and then didn't have an expression, because the joke wasn't funny.
But Dai Li didn't look joking at all, and looked at her quietly.
It was a stalemate for about ten seconds.
Melina gradually frowned:
"You're not kidding?"
A smirk appeared on Delis's good-looking face:
"How could I be kidding you, dear Xiaomei. To buy my goods, you only need to do one thing, and that is to learn, and only by learning can you buy my goods. It's about a secret occult ritual that I want to see if I can get my side of learning speed from you through this ritual. ”
"Reasonable explanation."
It's also a reasonable excuse.
Melina knew that there was much more to Delis wanting, and that she had too many secrets to hide, but Melina couldn't find them because they were as outrageous as the occult. Anyway, no one knows why a bunch of heavy metals can finally be refined into a good medicine for people.
Even Melina, who was familiar with the essence of magic and the occult, did not understand it, because she did not have time to understand it.
Melina's speed of interpreting the world is limited, but her knowledge is unlimited, she prefers to understand the nature of magic, to understand why they work, she prefers dragons, and wants to understand their ecology and habits from the factors on dragons, these are all interesting things, not alchemy.
To be honest, alchemy's thousands of mistakes are so impatient to look at that even Melina, who has a certain degree of futurism, is bored with it.
And the same goes for Delis's secret.
It must be a completely illogical secret, and there is no need to inquire about this kind of secret, as long as it is harmless to oneself.
Melina could feel harmless to herself, not because she believed in Delis's character, but because she was absolutely confident in her magic factor reserves. Whether the banshee's small methods can take effect or not is essentially a proportional contest of the amount of magic factors.
Twice the caster's mana factor reserve will reduce the duration of the spell.
4 times is basically not effective.
More than 4 times is sure that it cannot take effect, as long as the other party does not want to be hit.
Melina is an opponent that cannot be harmed by small means for Delis, and she must attack from the front in a dignified manner to be effective. To put it simply, in terms of overall strength, Delis is better than Melina, but if you talk about the reserves of magic factors alone, Melina has not been afraid of anyone.
"Is there anything else besides this thing?"
Melina put away her phone and dismantled it in the alchemy room of Belen's house when she was about to go back to Belen's house. Mainly for Sonia's secrecy, Sonia has a very, very sensitive reaction to Melina's contact with some strange people.
Maybe when she was in the first week, Melina caused her rampage because of someone she came into contact with?
It's not impossible.
Even, Sonia would be more wary of Melina if she was in a situation where she was in a multi-week situation. Because of these multi-week butterfly effects, there will always be a week of 'Melina is not a disabled form to become an explorer', and maybe in this case, Melina also went violent because of something.
"Nope."
Delis grinned and said:
"Sell only one at a time, that's okay?"
“… Then you take out what I'm going to learn. ”
Melina said with her arms crossed.
"Okay."
There was a hint of a smile on her face, a smile that made Melina uneasy. The beautiful banshee took out two thick books from her pocket and placed them on the table, the first of which was called "On the Nature of Alchemy". Adams is a tiresome book written across the ages, written by a lady who loves to write hats.
The women's hat is full of the atmosphere of "love girl brain", and there are often "poor girls who speak with chanting" and "poor families who only spend 200 gold lei a day" and so on.
Therefore, "On the Essence of Alchemy" is actually a women's hat, but due to the author's super high theoretical level, it does explain in detail what alchemy is, why the results of alchemy are non-toxic, what to do if semi-finished products are poisonous, and so on. A single copy costs 15 gold lei, which is not cheap and complicated, but Lena is indeed one of the few banshees who sees through the essence of alchemy and writes about it.
“… I don't want to specialize in alchemy. ”
Although Melina can indeed make all kinds of high-grade potions, she is indeed not a person who specializes in gold refining. The reason for the high-level potion is simple, that is, Melina's talent is far above the boundaries of ordinary people, and her concept of all-round talent has a grand blueprint of 'the best in the history of all professions'. But alchemy does give it a headache.
You never know why your potion blew up.
Is it a little more salt? Or did you forget to point in a particular direction?
But a promise is a promise.
Melina silently took it.
The second book is "The World and the Outer Lands of Ma Niang", written by George. Maia. Grejos.
A terrifying ecological illustrated book of Ma Niang that the author spent years tracking to collect, covering all breeds of Ma Niang in the entire Seven Kingdoms, as well as Ma Niang outside of the non-Seven Kingdoms, such as the abyss, such as Hades, and aliens. And the explanations and explanations are very detailed, and a large number of cited literature is very detailed.
The only problem is that the book is too thick.
And what does it mean to study this book?
Seeing Melina's hesitant expression, Delis said silently:
"You have to take this book from head to toe, and when you meet a horse lady, the race information of this horse girl and so on immediately pop up in your mind, and the expansive social structure of the horse lady."
Melina gasped: "Am I having a grudge against you?" ”
"Xiaomei, this is your fate, the sooner you memorize these two books, the sooner you will be able to buy a product."
Delis saluted:
"And now, I have to leave, lest those annoying guys come and interfere with us again. When you want to see me, all you need to do is take out a ruby, point it at the north corner of the giant cat constellation, and call me out with the reflected moonlight. Note that this invocation ritual is only known to a small number of people, and you are not allowed to tell anyone else. ”
"Secret?"
"It's because if others know this method, it's troublesome to keep calling me, and this kind of unsolicited call will occupy my channel."
"What a surreal reason."
Delis walked behind a small tree with her hands behind her back, then tilted her head and smiled at Melina, walked behind the slender tree, and disappeared into thin air.
This situation can also be said to be elusive.
Melina held the book, thought about it, and stored it in the storage space that Lao Ma's system had given to their team members.
This ability is really handy.
Melina quickly thought about her own development of this ability, which is currently progressing well, and if she has these references as inspiration, she may be able to make it soon.
"Alright, the next thing is..."
Keep exercising.
Melina suddenly thought that it was necessary for her to take the horse race so seriously? But Delis did say that she had better keep it that way... Besides, it's a good thing to get something for Lao Ma to go back.
"No matter, go ahead."
Melina put her thoughts aside and ran.
Ma Niang likes to run for a reason, running in the face of sufficient physical strength, with a sense of freedom that the world is so big that she can go anywhere with her own feet. Running and running, the sound of the wind in my ears and the breeze felt by my body are like a frozen poem, full of freehand.
Those who run in this moment are happy.
Of course, when the physical strength is exhausted, continuing to run is like being tormented by the pain of being curled up in a hell running hamster wheel......
Luckily, Melina also has plenty of stamina.
Although judging from the physical appearance, Melina's figure should not be very physical. But her muscles, her veins, every inch of her skin, are already quite evolutionary. In the state of maintaining this appearance, it can still have full explosive power and sustained power.
In Ma Niang's race, Melina can guarantee that she will finish the race.
…
…
Vanessa looked at Melina's stats with mixed feelings.
She was careless!
I just thought that Melina, who couldn't even run yesterday, would be abused when she got on the field, but I didn't expect that this birdman would learn to run in one day, and run better than her!
The action is too standard.
"Looks like your Nova is pretty good at walking." Vanessa squeezed out a smirk.
Ma Niang's running posture is generally two major schools, called Nova and Shiva, Nova steps are characterized by relatively large steps, while protecting the knees to lower the center of gravity to run. The disadvantages are obvious, and it is not suitable for complex terrain that requires multiple turns and changes of direction. The Shiva step is reversed, the center of gravity is held higher, and the pace is smaller, so it is easy to change direction, but the disadvantage is that it is very tiring.
"The advanced running style is evolved from these two running styles."
"That's right." Melina nodded, "Then I don't need to specialize in advanced running for a short time." ”
Melina has a clear understanding:
"As long as I make sure that the basic skills are okay, and I won't get tired under the support of sufficient magic factors, then the next step should be the strategy link, right?"
Vanessa hates such a smart student, which makes it seem useless to be a trainer......
She nodded helplessly:
"Yes, the only question you have left is strategy."
She paused, and suddenly asked curiously:
"By the way, you seem to be running a little slower just now, did you encounter something halfway?"
"Hmm."
Melina said without changing her heart:
"I met a rare butterfly, but I didn't catch it, I just stood there and admired it for a while."
"Then don't you stop and admire things like that when you're running a race?" Vanessa made a joke.
Melina replied very seriously:
"No, my goal is very simple and direct, that is, to win."
