In the free trade zone, there are stalls set up by wizard apprentices everywhere. Order in the Wizarding Arcade is maintained by patrols sent by the Wizarding Emporium Committee, which is divided between members of the three major wizarding organizations.

Several patrolmen walked lazily along the road, and there was no warning in their faces.

After all, this is the inner realm of Ferendor, and if anyone dares to quarrel with the three major wizarding organizations, I am afraid that they will be killed immediately.

Lance walked briskly from stall to stall, and after an hour, he was on the edge of the free trade zone.

At this moment, his face was very helpless.

For no other reason, in just an hour, he had already seen everything in the entire free trade zone. The wizard apprentices here sell a wide variety of items, and there are many things that Lance wants.

But there's only one problem......

That's too expensive!

"A demonized item that has been used several times still costs three magic stones? Isn't this a pit man?" Lance shook his head in his heart. The price here is relatively high. And the owners of these items don't seem to be in a hurry to sell their things, they all look like they ignore it.

Whether it's demonized items, magic materials, magical potions and the like, or even spell learning scrolls. But the prices are all unaffordable for Reims.

"Compared to these guys' things, the bow and arrows that the young man sold me before are already very cheap. Lance thought to himself: "Even the things in the free trade zone are so expensive, then the things in those regular witchcraft shops and magic shops must be even more expensive." ”

He looked at the sixteen magic stones in the Arcane Ring, and could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

He turned around for a long time before he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, spent three magic stones to buy three purple incense sticks, and used two magic stones to buy a partially demonized mage robe from an apprentice on Rainbow Island. The wizard apprentice was also a good man, and Lance bought a mage robe and gave him a black hood.

"Judging by the way you look, you must be going to the puppet city to try your luck, right?" said the apprentice with a smile, "After entering the puppet city, put this hood on so that no one can see your appearance clearly." In the puppet city, killing people is too simple. Beware of being recognized by the enemy. ”

Lance thanked the apprentice for his kindness and returned to the Hearthstone Inn with the items.

The young man in the weapons shop had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when he saw Lance returning, his pale face looked better.

Lance paid and asked the young man's address by the way - although he was going to close the weapons shop, as a descendant of a wizarding family, he still had the right to live in Ferendor. Lance thought that if he ran out of bows and arrows in the future, he could find a way, so he was more concerned.

After the lad left, Lance tidied up a little.

There were still eight magic stones left, and he wasn't going to move the money anymore. Although magic stones and other things are outside the body compared to life, Lance feels that he should always keep some in case of emergency.

Three newly bought purple incense sticks, which he will use up quickly. This thing has no other purpose, except to increase the rotation speed of the spell vortex, and it is said to also increase the strength of one's mental power.

The newly purchased mage robe was pitch black, and the interesting Rainbow Island apprentice had designed a large scarf for the mage robe for winter. Lance removed the scarf and immediately put on the dress.

"That guy really didn't lie to me, this mage robe can indeed temporarily increase the magic power by about three points. Lance looked at the results with satisfaction. In addition to increasing mana, another function of the mage robe is to solidify a level 0 spell [Tenacious Heart], which can cancel out some of the attacks of mind spells.

......

The bow and arrows he bought from the weapons shop were Lance's more important means of attack, and he put the longbow called [Oslot] into the Arcane Ring, and took out half of the normal arrows. He got a basin, added three-quarters of the water, and poured a small bottle of pale green phosphorus potion into it.

Immediately, the water in the basin changed strangely, and a pale green flame burned on the surface of the water.

Lance placed these ordinary bows and arrows in the basin one by one, making sure that the arrows would soak to the surface of the water.

According to Amman's notes on the creation of demonized items, he knew that this phosphorus potion dilution could easily enchant items within a month.

These ordinary arrows are soaked in phosphorus potions, and when fired, they will burn, giving them the effect of a level 0 spell [Flame Arrow]. With the bonus of bow power, Lance is estimated to be even stronger than the Flame Arrow.

It's just that in Ferendor, bows and arrows have always been forgotten weapons, and most mages prefer to use the more convenient staffs. Adding a [Rainbow Jet] or [Ice Airflow] to the staff is the most popular combination these days.

Lance was going to enchant half of the bundles of ordinary arrows for a short time, and the rest would remain as they were. As for the ten dragon-killing arrows, he was going to keep them as secret weapons, and only use them when dealing with defenses that could not be breached.

With everything done, he went downstairs to eat some food, and then threw himself into meditation and exercise.

Two weeks passed quickly.

......

In the course of two weeks, he had completely consumed the bottle of magical tidal potion. Not only has the magic increased dramatically, but the physical fitness has also improved slightly.

"Congratulations master, under the transformation of that drug, your physical fitness is now: [Physique 1.4 Strength 1.2 Agility 1.2 Magic 53]"

Looking at the flow of information coming back from the retina, Lance smiled with relief.

Regis is worthy of being a master of apothecary, and the magic tide potion he refined with his own hands is really very powerful. Not only can it quickly improve mana, but it can also change people's physical fitness, which is simply not too against the sky.

However, to Lance's regret, this magic amplification potion is also resistant, and after taking it many times, the effect is significantly reduced. According to Fox's estimates, if Lance continued to take the second bottle of Magic Tide Elixir, the effect would probably only be one-third of the first. It made him a little depressed.

53 points of mana, plus the 3 points attached to the mage's robes, for a total of 56 points. Among the primary apprentices, barely being magically rich. Once the mana reaches 70 points, you can step into the realm of the advanced apprentice.

However, Lance did not get carried away, he knew that the growth of his magic power could be said to be by drinking medicine, and the remaining fourteen-point gap, he was afraid that he would have to pay a great price to improve it.

"With an abundance of magic, my Scorching Ray, Bileg's Rotational Field, and Archery can work together to the fullest of their abilities. ”

In front of Lance's eyes, a set of fighting methods was constantly spinning, which was provided by the fox according to his current situation. These combat methods are not isolated, but systematic, and the three methods of attack and defense cooperate with each other, which can derive countless sharp means of killing the enemy.

And during this time, he also returned to Crimson Castle. He found a reading room for the servants and scanned a tenth of the contents.

The reason why it is a tenth is not all is because the time he can borrow is very limited, and there are a lot of books in the reading room.

In these materials, Lance found what he was looking for - a written account of the Sea Clan.

His energy was limited, and he had no intention of learning the Sea Clan's script for the time being, so he just asked the fox to translate the inscription on the belt he had obtained from the Fishman Warrior based on these materials.

After getting the fox's reply, this accidentally obtained item also came in handy. With a little memorization, Lance was able to get the spell of the inscription.

This belt has a level 0 spell [Swift Wind] solidified on it, which is also very practical to use and can improve the agility of the body. Lance liked it very much.

With everything ready, he left the Hearthstone Inn and made his way to the underground train platform of the Wizard's Emporium.

According to the speculation and announcements of the three major wizarding organizations, tomorrow will be the day when the puppet city opens. He had to make it to the Wind Dragon Canyon to the north tonight.
