0100 Black Knight's Sword of Stygian Fire
Clark and Clifford listened carefully to Jialan's story, and at the same time tried to make their minds remember what Jialan said, unaware that they had unknowingly begun to slide into the abyss created by each other like mortals who had been seduced by the devil.
The poor two don't know that in the exotic knowledge system that Jialan has come into contact with, there is something called the "Communication/Business Sales Method", which is a terrifying existence that can manipulate people's hearts without using any supernatural forces such as psychic power, illusion, and confusion control.
It was a kind of evil knowledge that even Jialan, who was proficient in illusion and confusion control spells, and was immune to the effect of confusion and control because of the influence of the "double soul", couldn't help but fear and tremble for it, the kind of formless and substantial, which could not be exempted by the spirit, and directly acted on the soul and mind, even more destructive than the most evil devil contract.
But fortunately, what Jialan is using at the moment is not this kind of evil words, but only a little bit of borrowing from the concept and adopting the conventional business model.
After all, in Jialan's view, it is just a conventional business method in the foreign knowledge system, and the impact and destruction of the society in this era are already big enough, and the super destructive "exotic devil" is not something he can control now.
If it is not necessary, even Jialan, who was evaluated by the teacher as "a devil hidden in his soul and magma flowing in his blood", would not dare to release those terrible "exotic devils" easily.
I have to say that since he woke up in this era, he left the library, college, laboratory, busy work, and boundless knowledge that the teacher specially created for him...... and so on, all of which can limit his activities.
A certain "seal" on his body is gradually loosening, the trace of nature yearning for freedom in his blood is cheering, and some mysterious instinct is restless, constantly sprouting in the depths of Jialan's body, making him more and more unable to suppress his curiosity.
Fortunately, the teacher's long-term careful restraint has made Jialan form a good habit, and at the same time, the strict orders made by the teacher can also make Jialan aware of her subtle changes, so as to be vigilant and take precautions.
Therefore, the trace that still existed in his mind came from the strangulation effect of the "Law Spell" left by the teacher in his soul, which made Jialan make a self-commitment of "not being the first to release the exotic devil".
However, the recent actions of the Apothecary Guild and the Golden Power Society behind the scenes have made Jialan inevitably have a hidden emotion of excitement in her heart, as if she was cheering in her thoughts: "Come on, come on, let's make things more interesting!"
This made Jialan, who was full of curiosity about this world, faintly excited and a little scared at the same time.
He had never left the confines of the Coranburg Library before, and he had never lived alone, like a fledgling that had secretly left the nest, excited and inevitably a little uneasy and fearful of the unknown......
When Jialan couldn't finish closing her mouth, Clark and Clifford wiped a cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, although Jialan was only a general explanation, but the huge amount of information contained in it still took them a lot of time to digest.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't fully understand it for a while, Jialan was not in a hurry to urge, but just left the plan for the establishment of Kelai Pharmaceutical Company prepared during this time in the suitcase, as well as various materials related to the company's structure and management, so that they could study it when they had time.
Seeing that Jialan was leaving, President Clifford paused for a moment, remembering the reason why he had come to meet Jialan this time, and hurriedly stopped Jialan and asked, "Can you prepare some high-quality potions recently?"
Jialan was a little puzzled, in their plan, high-quality medicine is useless for drug dumping, even if the price is high, it is only for a very small number of high-level professionals, and the audience is too small.
But after listening to Clifford's explanation, Jialan understood what was going on.
Although they are also participants in the potion dumping scheme, the Kelan branch of the Eternal Hammer Auction House is far from playing as much of a role in this matter as the Kelan branch of the Mercenary Guild, and the profit obtained from it alone is not enough to attract the attention of the head office of the Eternal Hammer Auction House.
After all, the profitability of the auction house industry comes from the fame of the auction items, the more precious the auction items, the higher the auction price, the greater the fame of the auction house, the more customers are willing to send to the auction house, and the greater the profit will naturally be earned.
Previously, Jialan entrusted the Iguana Fang mercenary group to send the batch of violet ointment of "special effect, super effect, and extreme effect" quality to the Eternal Hammer Kelan Branch, corresponding to the quality level of the potion in this era, and the highest has reached the level of silver high-grade potions.
That's why that time, President Clifford, who was eager to increase the fame of the Eternal Hammer Corran branch, was willing to waive the transaction fee and auction off the batch of silver potions for Jialan for free.
You must know that in this era, there are not no high-quality elixirs, but the production is very scarce, if the black iron elixir is a quality that mercenaries can generally come into contact with, then the bronze elixir is the best elixir that mercenaries can find.
As for the silver potion, it is already a very precious and rare item, not something that can be bought at will just with money, but also depends on whether the luck is good enough to be lucky enough to occasionally come across such a one.
President Clifford's intention to stop Jialan was to ask Jialan to provide a batch of high-quality potions so that he could enhance the reputation of the auction house, of course, it would be more perfect if Jialan could provide silver potions for a long time.
In the consideration of supporting his allies, Jialan agreed after a little consideration, and with his ability, he was not able to make a stable preparation of extremely powerful potions.
However, the quality of the year and efficacy of the medicinal materials in this era is too good, if you sacrifice the precious medicinal materials, rely on the medicinal effects of the medicinal materials themselves, and increase the dose to pile up the quality of the medicine, it is not difficult to configure the silver high-grade medicine.
It's just that this kind of behavior of sacrificing precious medicinal materials is just a bit extravagant and wasteful, if you change to a real potion master to configure, the same quality of medicinal materials, maybe people can configure "rare-grade" potions, or even "elite-level" potions, in this era, it is a gold-quality potion.
President Clifford was overjoyed and immediately asked what tools and materials Jialan needed, and he immediately had them ready to be sent to Chemo University.
Seeing that he was so anxious, Jialan simply asked Div to return to the library of Kemo University, and asked Alan to take out a batch of potions that he had placed in the cabinet of the administrator's hut and send them over.
Hearing that Jialan actually had a batch of ready-made high-quality potions in his hands, Clifford still had the mind to stay in the Mercenary Guild to study what company system with Clark, so he decisively threw away the poor mercenary branch leader and kindly invited Jialan to participate in tonight's auction.
Jialan shrugged innocently at President Clark, who was pitifully looking at him, and followed President Clifford to see what good things were at auctions in this era.
The Hammer of Eternity is not far from the Mercenary Guild, it is on the same Adventure Street, but it is located on the other side of the Adventure Street, so Jialan and President Clifford did not take another car, but just put on a cloak and a hood to hide their faces, and walked out of the hall of the Mercenary Guild and walked with the crowd.
Because he felt that it was a bit dangerous to travel like this, President Clark specially sent two silver senior mercenaries to secretly escort him, if it wasn't for too many people, it would be more eye-catching, and it was estimated that President Clark would like to send a silver mercenary team to protect Jialan, a very important person to the Coran branch.
After all, the Apothecary Guild and the Golden Power Society behind them have gone crazy recently, and they are generally looking for Jialan, the culprit who ruined their good deeds, once they encounter the killers of the Golden Power Society when they are alone, even if Jialan's magic strength is strong, they will encounter unexpected dangers.
However, I think that Jin Quanhui has not yet been bold enough to dare to attack and kill a magician of the University of Science and Technology in a frenzy in front of everyone, although those senior magicians in the University of Science and Technology ignore the world, but it definitely does not mean that someone is bullied to the point of being indifferent.
Although the power of the Golden Power Society is extremely strong in Gilago County, it will never dare to provoke the magic institution of Kemo University, which has an extremely special status not only in Gilargo Continent, but also in the entire Seven Continents.
Not to mention anything else, what if an old man above the Great Magician comes out and waits for everyone to fall asleep in the middle of the night, and releases a shower of meteors into their lair or a sky-fire city?
Therefore, as long as Jialan is escorted by two high-ranking mercenaries of Silver and does not leave the main road with many people, it will not be too much of a problem.
Moreover, this Jialan magician, who seemed to be young and wore a light blue ** robe of a level 1 magic apprentice all day long, was far less harmless than he looked...... The wall of the Storm Wolf Mercenary Regiment's residence has still collapsed there and not been repaired.
Jialan rarely has the opportunity to go shopping, so she is full of interest in the various shops on Adventure Street, stopping from time to time to ask about the price of goods, and occasionally taking out a notebook to write and draw, and I don't know what Lu Dao is recording these things.
Clifford, who was following along, looked amazed, and said in his heart: [It is worthy of Mr. Magician, who can formulate such a huge institutional system, and he does not forget to conduct 'market research' at any time when he goes shopping, is this the phrase?]
Just when he was glad that he had mastered a new term, the two of them had already walked near the ornate building of the Hammer of Eternity auction house.
Clifford was about to beckon Jialan to follow him into his territory when Jialan suddenly pointed to a crowded alley on both sides of Adventure Avenue and said, "What is this place for? How can there be so many people?"
"It's a flea market full of garbage, rags, scammers, there will be some adventurers and mercenaries who will resell the loot obtained during the adventure, nothing of value......"
Clifford glanced at the disdainful disdain, he had long been dissatisfied with this dilapidated place located in the open space right behind the Hammer of Eternity auction house, and tried several times to convince the Council to sell the vacant land to the Hammer of Eternity for expansion, but for one reason or another, he had been unsuccessful.
But before he finished speaking, he was stunned to find that Jialan had already raised his legs and walked towards the flea market, Clifford sighed, and had to follow, this young magician although he was talented, but after all, he was still a young man, full of curiosity about everything, what was there to see in a place where mercenaries resold rags.
Surprisingly, the flea market, which requires a narrow alley to reach, is actually not small, but is sandwiched behind the glossy shops on Adventure Street.
Around the flea market, there are some dilapidated small shops, and the inside and outside of the narrow storefronts that are not enough for one person to turn around, are piled up with all kinds of strange goods.
In the middle of the flea market, rows of stalls and tents were set up with wooden planks and animal skins, and more of them sat on the ground, with a piece of animal skin in front of them, and one or two mercenaries with scattered items.
As President Clifford said, at first glance, the goods that are haphazardly placed and piled up in front of the store look more like junk and garbage...... At least in the eyes of ordinary people, they will never see the use of those broken stones and tiles.
Jia Landong looked around, looked at the bosses who were lazily chatting with acquaintances in the small shops around them, and then looked at the mercenaries sitting on the ground, and decided to visit the mercenaries' stalls first.
The experience of this time has taught Jialan that items that may be useless in the eyes of others are extremely valuable to him...... Before she had taken a few steps, Jialan found something interesting at an adventurer's stall.
"Hey, little one, do you want to see Uncle Crackhammer's treasure?"
The stall owner is a burly man, he grinned and waved his big fan-like hand to Jialan, who stopped in front of the stall, and the smile on his face was not like greeting customers, but like smiling and provoking people.
Jialan also squatted down disapprerovitically, flipped through a few items on the animal skin, and asked curiously, "What are these things?"
"Hey! Speaking of these treasures, we can't help but talk about Uncle Splithammer's adventure this time!"
The big man boasted triumphantly, "These are all antiques that Uncle Crackhammer risked his life to dig up near the ruins of Paluzor in the depths of the Sea Wall Mountains!"
"Look at this! Uncle Crackhammer killed more than 800 ferocious mountain wolves, stormed into a basement in the ruins of Paruzor, and knocked them off the wall!"
He frothed at the mouth and held up a piece of rusty, broken metal with some strange words faintly engraved on it: "I guess this must be a magic spell from the ancient times, or a treasure map of words?"
Jialan glanced at the barely legible handwriting on it, which read: Copper hammer iron... Paving... Schedule.
Smiling, Jialan picked up another thing, it was this thing that attracted his attention, it was four "U" shaped black lacquered iron bars, although there was no rust, but the discerning person knew at a glance that this was probably the horseshoe left behind after the death of an ancient war horse, and it was rare that one of them was not missing.
"Boy, you really have a good eye!
Seeing that Jialan was not interested in the broken iron plate, the big man Splithammer casually threw it on the animal skin, raised the horseshoe again, and continued to boast: "This is the ...... that Uncle Crackhammer pulled off from the hooves of a black knight's mount skeleton after killing more than 1,200 evil skeletons."
"Scrap horseshoes that have been picked up?"
Clifford, who was behind Jialan, couldn't help but taunt angrily: "Are you going to say that the hilt of the sword next to it, which is only half a section, is the black warrior's sword, the Sword of Hellfire?"
The big man Crackhammer was speechless for a while, and suddenly became angry, stood up and roared: "You can insult Uncle Crackhammer's personality! But you can't insult Uncle Crackhammer's treasure! I want to ...... with you."
Jialan asked curiously, "How much?"
The big man who was about to fight with Clifford immediately squatted down again, and said with a flattering smile: "This pair of skeleton horseshoes only costs 800 Quintalan! If you buy it, it will also come with an ancient magic spell engraving and a black knight's sword of hellfire!"
Clifford rolled his eyes, this guy was so thick-skinned, he immediately used the name "Sword of Hellfire", which sounded very powerful, he didn't bother to complain, I believe that with the shrewdness of the blue magician, it is impossible to fall for this guy who is full of big talk.
More than 800 ferocious mountain wolves, more than 1,200 evil skeletons, do you think you're a joke tavern entertainer? With your black iron rudimentary strength, a mountain wolf who hasn't been weaned can kill you!
"Eight hundred gold tarans?
But what made Clifford almost fall out of his eyes was that Jialan actually bargained with this idiot!
"It's a bit expensive, but it's definitely worth the price! It's an antique from an ancient time 18,000 years ago! Even if you take it back as a collection, it's definitely worth it...... But for your sake, five hundred gold talans... Fifty Quintalans is fine!"
Seeing Jialan standing up regretfully, Dahan Cracking Hammer immediately changed his tone and directly reduced the price tenfold, Jialan shook his head: "It's too expensive, I can't afford it, I don't have that much money." ”
"Okay! I'll give you a cheaper price, twenty Quintalans!
"Oh, yes, don't go! This is 18,000 years ago...... Ten Quintalan!"
"Only ten quintalans!no, no!eight!?"
"Hey, this metal brand seems to be made of copper! It's a big piece that weighs several pounds, and even if you take it to the blacksmith's shop, you can sell it for two Jintalan!"
"What? You say this thing isn't copper? How is it possible? Is it iron? Uh, yes, copper doesn't rust like this... Hey, do you want to buy it? It's an antique!
In the end, Jialan bought the horseshoe and a metal brand for the price of five silver jims and two copper dantins, and as for the "Sword of Hellfire", Jialan simply didn't ask for it.
Clifford was confused and followed Jialan, who was holding a broken metal plate and carrying a leather bag containing four rotten horseshoes, unable to understand the magician's hobby.
----
Lao Sao: What do you guess the "horseshoe" is?
Next, I plan to let Jialan go to the underground of Fort of Doom to fight the little monsters, go to the ruins of Paruzor to dig up treasures, and go back to my mother's house by the way, and go to the ruins of Fort Koran to take out the belongings.
Also, while the Calamity Gold Power Society, by the way, bully little Castlemer, tweak/teach Alan and the two female apprentices, the legendary Five Lines Balance and Fireball Teach the Twin Saintess!
Actually, what I want to say is...... Two hours later, it will be on the shelves at 0:00! Pouting and selling cute, asking for the first order! Asking for a guaranteed monthly pass!
