The city-states in the Land of Ashes basically have their own "underground streets".

The underground streets of the city-state of the Tower of La Morre are not too big.

But the intricate struggles of the various forces are not inferior to those of the big cities.

Underground street, [Obsidian Material Shop].

Inside the stone house of Yongdao.

The wall lamps, which were not very bright, were stacked with six to illuminate the hut.

"Old Com", who covered his slightly gray hair with a brown cowboy hat, was holding a magnifying glass, looking at the second-order core soul crystal material in the iron box.

"Very good second-order material."

After a long time, Old Com put the second-order core materials back into the small iron box, and praised it in his mouth.

"20 magic gold."

Old Combe offered a rare and generous price.

"Perhaps, you can look more closely."

For the price, Tucker, who sat across from the long wooden table, was unmoved.

"Huh...... Tucker, we didn't trade once or twice. ”

"You know, the second-order core material is this price."

Old Combe replied with a smile as he lay back.

"In that case...... Leave! ”

Tucker reached out and took the small tin box into his hand, and was about to get up.

Seeing this, Old Combe let out a voice of annoyance.

"Hell!"

"Okay, I'll look at it again."

Tucker looked blank and pushed the small tin box over.

"Twenty-five magic gold."

After re-watching, Old Combe gave a new price.

"30 magic gold."

"30 magic gold? I'll take the blood. ”

"Then you can choose not to accept it."

"26 magic gold, this is my final bottom line."

"You might as well raise your bottom line a little higher, 30 magic gold."

"You little devil, are you going to only have this one price?"

"Hmm...... 31 magic gold. Tucker thought for a moment and said.

Old Combe: "......"

Old Com, who was a little speechless by Tucker, didn't speak for a long time.

"28 magic gold."

Eventually, the elder Combe offered his own price for a new floor.

"Although the sequence power carried by this soul crystal material has a tendency to transform into an 'elite creature', it has not transformed after all."

"I really don't know, how did you get such a top-level second-order material."

Old Combe shook his head.

"Even I wouldn't dare to face those dangerous second-order transcendent creatures."

"Another ......"

Old Combe's eyes narrowed into a thin line.

"I have good things, do you want them?"

Although, Tucker came to the underground mall this time to exchange for materials.

But the "good stuff" in the mouth of old Combe.

Tucker was visibly hesitant.

"Let's see."

Powerful and precise vision.

Tucker looks at objects at a depth far beyond that of other transcendents.

Otherwise, Tucker wouldn't have discovered that the second-order stone snake ghost crystal was a top-level material that was about to transform into an elite creature sequence.

"You're lucky, Tucker, you can't find something like that."

Old Combe, who turned around, opened the iron door and disappeared into the dark passage behind the iron gate.

Tucker, on the other hand, sat still, combing his thoughts.

Soul!

Source energy!

Life!

These are the three key materials that a trainee wizard needs to advance to become a "first-order wizard".

In the last round of adventures, Tucker got the first-order soul material he needed, the "Wailing Banshee Soul Crystal".

Source energy materials, relatively cheap, Tucker bought it early for the price of 12 magic gold, it is a top-level kobold sacrifice "source pool crystal", which can expand Tucker's not small source pool.

For wizards, the size of the source pool largely determines the number of spells cast.

And the number of times a spell is released determines life and death.

What Tucker lacks at the moment is a "living material".

In the early stages.

When the wizard's spells are not so powerful.

It is still important to have a strong physique provided by the materials of life.

So Tucker has been looking for a long time.

And for Tucker today.

The strength of the living body is especially important.

Strong, flexible, and full of mobility.

Perfect prediction.

This allows Tucker to avoid a lot of danger and damage.

Soon, Old Combe came out with a parchment scroll.

It was not an ordinary sheepskin scroll, but a sheepskin scroll with certain extraordinary properties.

Seal, deposit!

After staring at it for a moment, Tucker recognized the extraordinary properties of the parchment scroll.

By discerning the state of presentation of the context, it is possible to determine the extraordinary characteristics.

This is one of the directions in which Tucker is developing the potential of [Precision Vision].

"Be careful, this is a true elite-level demon wolf heart."

Old Combe admonished.

A truly "elite-grade" material?

Tucker's heart moved slightly.

The promotion of the transcendent requires a variety of "transcendent materials".

The most common material is "normal-grade", from a variety of ordinary otherworldly creatures.

One notch above the normal grade material is the "elite" material.

Extraordinary creatures capable of producing elite-grade materials.

Either the best of its kind.

Or, they are naturally powerful creatures, such as the Star Spirit, Beamon, Titan, Dragon, and other extremely rare creatures.

It is said that on top of the "elite-level" materials, there are also "chieftain-level" materials, and even the legendary "lord-level" materials.

But!

Materials of that level, for normal people.

I'm afraid I'll die if I try.

Take the sheepskin scroll!

"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"

A strong and powerful heartbeat sounded in Tucker's ears, and there was a faint tendency to intensify.

Immediately after, bloodthirsty tyranny and a fanatical will to kill came to Tucker's mind.

Elite-grade materials, silently, had an impact on Tucker.

If it had been in the past, Tucker might still have been really affected.

But now......

The demon wolf material intersected with the veins generated by Tucker, and was perfectly handled by Tucker.

Tucker can fully appreciate the power of the demon wolf's heart, but he is completely unaffected by its negative effects.

"Hoo ......"

It was a long time before Tucker put the parchment scroll down.

"It's really an elite material, and it's a very strong elite-level material."

Tucker praised.

"Of course!" Old Com smiled.

"So when I take it into a promotion potion, I'll die a crisp death, right?"

Old Combe's smile froze on his cheek.

"Huh...... How could it be ......"

Soon old Com's smile masked the embarrassment.

"You're a powerful wizard who can come up with a lot of expensive materials."

"You have to have faith in yourself."

And Tucker was completely unbewitched by Old Combe.

"The will of the demon wolf has infiltrated the sequence material."

"The reason why it is sealed is to seal the will of the demon wolf, not to seal the material."

"To be precise, it's a tainted elite material."

Old Combe, who was punctured into his careful thoughts, was a little angry.

"But that's also elite material!"

Tucker smiled and offered his price.

"12 magic gold."

Tucker had been looking for living materials for a long time.

This demon wolf heart can be said to be the best material that Tucker has encountered.

Although it was contaminated.

However, Tucker, who has the trajectory and vein to cut into, is completely sure to block the will of the elite demon wolf.

The general first-order promotion materials are 8 to 12 magic gold.

And the elite material, the price is between 15 magic gold and 20 magic gold.

Tucker directly pushed the price down to the level of ordinary materials.

"12 magic gold, why don't you go and grab it?"

Old Combe's voice rose a step abruptly.

Tucker looked unconcerned.

"The will of the demon wolf and the beating heart tend to merge."

"Over time, this contaminated material is gradually becoming obsolete."

"If you insist on not selling, I don't need to take any chances."

Old Comb, who hesitated for a moment, finally nodded.

"12 magic gold is 12 magic gold, deal."

Before Tucker, three adventurers had probed this elite material, but undoubtedly rejected all of them.

"Are the transcendents of the present time all cowards? I didn't dare to risk my life. ”

Every time the sale failed, Old Combe would slap the table and let out an angry roar.

This time Tucker gave a pretty good price.

Old Combe can be regarded as the solution to this hot potato.

"Hey...... Tucker, if you want to move up to the first tier, you'd better be careful. ”

"Some mysterious organization, they're hunting wizards."

"A first-order wizard, but a key target for their hunt."

After the transaction was completed, the elder Combe, who was much more comfortable, provided Tucker with a valuable message for free.

"I already know, and ...... It's already been hand-in-hand. ”

Tucker replied lightly.

"That guy...... Walk peacefully! ”
