"Willian, you know better than me about the production of magic items, what kind of magic level is needed to make such a makeup box?"
After walking out of the small shop, and bypassing the two stalls that had just begun to display their goods, Edward suddenly spoke.
"The magic on it is not profound, but if you want to make all the consumables endless and not easily damaged, you must have at least three rings of spell casting ability. However, as a whole, the system is not capable of approaching or even exceeding the abilities of high-level mages, and is incompetent. In order to minimize the loss of mental power, it is also necessary to have a relatively strong strength......"
The genuine mage apprentice was stunned, and then muttered: "However, the carving on this makeup box is very fine, it should not be shaped by magic, because the carving is obvious, at least it should be an old worker with twenty or thirty years of carving experience, so it is not ruled out that they are the possibility of division of labor and cooperation." ”
Edward nodded.
In fact, if you are serious, this kind of vanity box craftsmanship, even in the romance of mages all over the place, may not be able to be seen very often - or there can be better products than this, but there will definitely not be so many in quantity.
The principle of magic is to pay attention to the equivalent exchange, or to shape some simple objects with magic workmanship, and the loss is only the energy of the magic net, but the enchanted props consume the ability of the magician himself, and permanently solidify a magic in an item. This kind of constant law item requires more than ordinary strength.
That's why in this magical world, the convenience of magic items is still only enjoyed by a few. The magic of a magician is so difficult to exercise, and even if it can be exchanged for money, not many people are willing to dedicate their power to such meaningless fancy props.
Plus those armors, the strength of weapon manufacturing...... If they did have access to the dwarven blacksmith...... No, even just having such productivity is enough, given its power. and several other clues...... The connection between Chaturan really unintentionally brought him a big surprise.
Behind this store, there is a complete industrial chain......
It's a mouth-watering thing.
"I said Edward, what did you just get again? I think you've been here for this thing since the beginning, right?"
Miss Lisa's gaze paused on the two stalls that had not yet been opened, and then shifted her attention: "It seems to be the chess piece golem you got last time? Why show off to a small shopkeeper? ”
"Purpose...... Well, you can also say that, but in fact, the biggest gain is still the shop just now. Edward smiled. Don't mention the patulan—or the lady might have seen it again, but if it were to be the last time. But it takes a lot of effort to settle it.
"Hmm, it's not enough to take advantage of it, you still want to take that guy's shop?"
Miss Lisa stared at him for a long time, and then rolled her eyes to show disdain: "He doesn't look like he's going to sell the store, or are you going to use that trick to control others? ”
"What the hell do you think I'm here?"
"Of course it's the bandit leader? No, you're a big bandit! or a pervert......"
“...... Never mind. I said, my eldest lady, have you noticed his scarf?" Edward glared at her angrily, and then pointed out an important question to get rid of the eldest lady's nonsense.
"Scarf?"
The half-elf shook her head, but she obviously knew that a psychic warlock wouldn't ask a meaningless question for no reason: "It seems to be purple, with stripes, not right......"
"Hey, the three diamond-shaped patterns in all purple, the badge of the purple faction!"
The clear memory made the little lady scream a little, and then reflexively looked around, and then lowered her voice: "This guy is a member of the Half-Bloods? But how come I haven't seen him? Damn, I knew he was a member ......of the Half-Bloods, I should have asked him to give him a cost price!
"Relax...... You haven't seen him, but he certainly knows you, and you don't notice that he looks at you in a completely different way than anyone else, and he deliberately dodges the conversation with you......" Edward explained:
"What do you mean, Edward, do you suspect he ......?"
Now that he recognized the identity of the other party, Edward, who also has the identity of a mixed-race elder, of course does not need to be reminded, and he just goes up and connects with him directly according to the procedure...... Now they don't know it...... This realization made the half-elf eldest lady nervous all of a sudden. But then, she shook her head again:
"No, or maybe he's a low-level member who has just joined the Purple Cloth Sect, so maybe he hasn't seen me?"
"Do you think the Purple Cloak Sect would be so careless to send a low-ranking member to manage such a big deal? If so, then congratulations, because the Half-Blood Society is already rich, and now we don't have to worry about these trivial things. Throwing money directly can also have a big impact, what else do you want me to do? ”
"People aren't stupid......! It's also possible that this guy isn't the owner of this shop at all?" The little lady puffed out her eyes unconvinced, although she had already admitted the other party's statement in her heart, but after thinking about it, she still caught a flaw that seemed to be flawed to refute.
But before Edward could speak, Daherne had already chuckled and mercilessly debunked her: "Some people have said that breasts are brainless, but it seems to me that your cunning is really a perfect refutation of this sentence. If he wasn't the owner, would he be able to take charge of such a big business on his own? The owner of this shop is too generous. The purchase and sale of thousands of platinum coins can also be signed directly by outsiders, not to mention half of the discount decided in the middle......"
"Rotten melon shut up!" "Okay. Think about it, if it's an ordinary clerk, what should you do to the person who asks the price?" The sharp voice made people look sideways, and Edward had to shake his hand to stop the royal sister and Lori from habitually arguing: "Do you usually make a careful introduction in advance, and then quote the price?" In fact, he did this for the armor and the things sold to me, but when he saw you. He only told you for three hundred platinum coins. ”
After a pause, he explained in detail: "Moreover, the discount he gave me after that was more than half of it, which shows that he deliberately quoted a high price at the beginning, or wanted to stop trading with these people." But he disguised it well, and offset the money with a discount later, because this kind of cosmetic case can be produced in large quantities. Then I may get someone else's purchase price, and if there is any dispute because of this, he must not want to see it. ”
Lisa nodded, then shook her head again. There still seems to be doubt. But there was no further question...... Instead, little Ryan, who had been silent, spoke. "But Lord Edward, you judge by that alone. The clerk is ...... It's a few people with ulterior motives, isn't it a bit arbitrary?"
Edward's gaze turned to him and shook his head slightly:
In fact, he revealed a lot of flaws, although they were all unintentional...... Say. He has a wide range of sources, from snakes and lizards in the south to dwarven weapons, claiming to be prepared. In particular, the shop pù that can make zuò magic weapons should have a hard background, but when I asked him if he was familiar with the lord, he said that it had nothing to do with it at all...... Judging from the style of the snake lizard skin and armor, the ones in front of him are not bragging, so why did he tell me that he was just a small business, and it didn't matter?"
"Maybe it's because he's afraid that someone you know will take the opportunity to cut his price?"
This statement was obviously not so valuable, and even the little nobleman himself shook his head...... In this big 6, is there a businessman who can have a relationship with the nobles, but he doesn't show it himself? At least he has never seen it, not to mention the identity of a mage, even if he is an apprentice, is not necessarily lower than a genuine nobleman, so why use this relationship to lower the price? And the other party is in a hurry to get rid of it?
"The main problem is that this shop has a lot of investment, but the business is not booming, I have seen all their goods, they are some magic items, or armor and other related things, this kind of high-end goods usually small nobles simply cannot afford to buy, and judging from the decoration inside, they are also mainly engaged in big business. In this way, if he doesn't know some of the duke's characters, I'm afraid he will be eliminated a long time ago, you have to remember, the mall is like a battlefield, and it can't tolerate a few failures. Especially decision-making errors. ”
"There are a few other little problems, you see, if I were the shopkeeper, I would have discussed buying this Paturan back when I found it from that statue just now. After all, such magic items are so rare, and the aura alone is scary enough. Even if it is extremely unlikely, you should try to recoup your losses, this is the most common thing for a seasoned businessman, and it seems that this guy can't seem to be a novice in this business, but he doesn't do it, then if he doesn't know who I am, he is subconsciously ready to end this business quickly. ”
"But that doesn't mean he's a half-breed spy......" Little Ryan secretly looked at the face of the 'master' who was not much older than him, and only opened his mouth until he was sure that he was not angry, but his voice was infinitely close to slurking.
So the psychic warlock shook his head—in fact, he really liked the spirit of this little guy, but the preconceived kindness in the other party's way of thinking was really not to his liking: "Yes, the probability of anything is not 100%, so I just need to pay attention to him......" After thinking about it, he decided not to dwell on this issue anymore.
"You're amazing...... Lord Edward. Or, only a wise man like you can truly become a qualified lord, right?" Thinking about it again, Little Ryan suddenly sighed.
"The inferior wise men flaunt their wisdom, the medium wise men gather the wisdom of others, and the higher wise men dig up the wisdom of others. This is the famous quote of the great sage Karen and Ger. ”
"Edward was always hard to understand...... Forget it, who is that. Don't worry about it, anyway. If Edward has an idea, we will listen to him directly," Miss Half-Elf waved her hand: "Then Master, how do we deal with it next?"
And so on. Edward replied, "However, I will find a way to spy on them, so it doesn't hinder our ......."
"So we can start shopping, right?"
......
Shopping with girls is indeed quite tiring...... For the average person. It's like a battle.
The market in the rose neighborhood of Gushan Castle is of course different from the one near the city gate, except for the scattered vendors, most of the essence is concentrated in the various shops located on both sides of the street, of course, the scale of this kind of shopping street is not very large. It's just that if you underestimate the number of points invested in girls' shopping talents, then you are very wrong!
Beautiful cloth and silk, small toys, and all kinds of shoes...... Especially shoes.
Cloth, silk, calfskin. Special vegetal weave, flat bottom, high heel, pointed toe, round toe...... There are also a lot of gadgets that they actually want to come to but can't put down, spend countless hours haggling, and finally give up at the prompt. Then he couldn't help but pick it up again, and Edward was already annoyed to death after going through the process twice. They can do it again and again thirty or fifty times.
Yes, they ...... At first, it was only Miss Lisa's one-man show, but gradually, the half-elf girl Sarina became her natural reference, and eventually, even Dahney became involved in the process, and began to try to pick and choose with great interest.
Fortunately, Edward, who owns the space bag, doesn't need to carry those large and small pockets to follow behind, otherwise, it will definitely make the waiting time extremely boring and lengthy.
In fact, for a psychic man, ordinary people's concealment and small tricks are meaningless at all, and the tentacles of his thoughts scattered around him allow him to capture almost every subtle thought, especially when people are discussing, all secrets will float to the surface of the mind because of the active thinking.
Glance.
Edward, however, was not involved, and most of the time he was just appreciating the qiē - Edward vaguely remembered a theory that the process actually worked on stimulating the temporal lobe of a woman, or an organ like the pituitary gland...... Allowing the brain to secrete more endorphins, which adds a sense of euphoria and comfort – a privilege that only women have.
Sometimes, romance and waste are equal words, and giving those small traders a little room to survive is also considered to be informed, isn't it?
From another point of view, Gushan City has a rich heritage and enough excitement, and wandering in such an ancient big city can indeed fascinate a person who sees it at first sight.
In short, in the midst of these meaningless repetitions, the time of the two hourglasses has passed imperceptibly.
Before you know it, the sun has quietly passed through the middle of the sky.
"Hey, Edward, it's almost afternoon, why hasn't there been any movement? Don't you say that you didn't watch him carefully to accompany us......?
"My eldest lady, this kind of caution is necessary, isn't it? Moreover, he is not worried about anything, if he just sees your face, and he panics because of this, and shows up to ask, there is no need for these fellows to get together again. Edward smiled, but in his heart he was sure of the value of the other party,
Since this guy has a certain amount of power, it is obviously impossible for him to be unknown in the other party's organization.
And now that he has paid attention to his opponent, it is certainly impossible for Edward not to leave some means of surveillance.
As the midday sun gradually turned to the west, there was still no one entering the small magic shop, so the middle-aged man who had been huddled behind the counter seemed to have finally exhausted the last of his patience, and he stood up and closed the door of the shop casually.
As a result, the light flickered slightly, and the original door outside the small shop became a window lattice.
Having done his job of covering, he got up and walked out of the shop through another small door, and began to walk through the small street behind.
The alley was narrow and long, and after a few rounds, the man walked into a particularly dark corner, behind a blacksmith's shop, a messy corner that seemed to be a place where some of the materials for the preparation of the furnace were piled up, and the fence was full of tattered pieces—broken swords, shields with holes, tattered armor with missing arms and legs, and a mess that smelled disgusting with rust.
Without hesitation, the man climbed over the low wall and plunged headlong into the plank shed in the middle, which was almost collapsing.
After a pause, he sprinkled a handful of shimmering powder.
The powder slowly melted like water vapor...... Then, a flash of lightning burst out, and blue-white lightning flashed in this small space, and the original scenery began to be replaced by another illusion.
The man reached out and pressed on an iron door that appeared to be revealed, where there seemed to be several strange handles, and when some of them were ripped off, a black hole spread out into the ground.
But he didn't show up, and since he entered this corridor, the shadow of the little thing that had been standing like a shadow in the blind corner of his vision had disappeared into the air again with the slight shaking of light and shadow.
