106. Generosity
Levi's reaction was actually expected by Layton, but it was still a little surprising.
Even a mage wouldn't be so dismissive of gold, would he?
But no matter what he thought, the facts were in front of him, and Levi was not in the slightest interested in these four or five boxes of glittering jewelry.
The next box contained several sets of armor, three sets of full-body armor and seven sets of half-body armor, Levi didn't know much about this kind of thing, just looking at the materials and workmanship is very good, and the corners are also very delicately handled.
As a melee swordsman, Layton likes this kind of stuff very much, so he collects more.
"Huh?"
As Levi's gaze moved away from the armor box, the delicate little box in another box next to him immediately attracted him.
This pattern was familiar to him, and he had seen it in the German racing team last time.
Seeing Levi staring at the box, Mira immediately bent down and picked it up and handed it to him, and Levi immediately opened it.
Sure enough, there was a magic crystal inside, about the size of two units.
"You've got that kind of thing here, yes. ”
Levi put the magic crystal away and handed it to Valila for her to put away.
After looking at nearly ten boxes, she finally found what she was looking for, which also made Mira breathe a sigh of relief.
It is said that the magic crystal is the currency between mages, and now it seems that it is.
Presenting all of Joseph's collection for Levi to choose also allows Mira to find out the owner's preferences in order to better reflect the values of the Joseph family.
After putting away the magic crystal, Levi looked at the contents under the box, which were all spars, ores and the like.
He briefly observed that things like citrine, alumite, and so on were all materials such as alchemy, enchantment, and engineering, and they were piled up in a mess and couldn't be distinguished for a while.
Levi is not an encyclopedia, he knows all the materials clearly, and the contents need to be selected by professionals like Arberry and Judy.
Moreover, there are likely to be unknown new materials in the new plane, and some even need to be practiced before they can identify the true value.
Levi simply stopped looking, snapped the lid of the box shut, and let Valila and Ciel move it to the back.
"There are a lot of materials in this box, I need to carefully screen and check, and I will return to you if there is no value. ”
"You're welcome, Master Mage, these things are supposed to be yours. ”
That being said, Layton was still very happy in his heart, because Levi's words represented something he had seen before but didn't take, and he didn't need it.
This shows that those gold coins and jewels and other things still belong to the Joseph family.
Levi is not indiscriminate and generous, and now Leighton is also half of his subordinate, and these things he doesn't need should be left behind and used to develop the Joseph family.
"By the way, by the way, help me collect some books, you can do everything, especially the content related to the material. Forget about knight magic. ”
Levi's last time he got from Dotto accounted for the vast majority of humanities books, which made him helpless when he was supposed to know about Kenriwa.
After giving the order, Levi set his sights on the next box.
Leighton's collection is also quite sorted, and next to this box of miscellaneous spar ore is a box of metal ingots, which also contains everything.
Most of them are ordinary metal materials, such as real iron and black silver, which are not very valuable but not bad.
Just as Levi was about to close the lid of the box and take it out for disposal like he had done with the crystal ore of the box before, a black lump of something that reflected a faint blue light attracted him.
Levi's movements slowed down suddenly, and he stretched out his two hands in some incredulity, took them out, and carefully observed them up and down.
Immediately after that, a faint source power poured out of his hand, and naturally entered the black and blue metal ingot, and the ghostly light was great!
At the same time, the source force also shot out smoothly from the metal ingot, and the volley slashed and hit the wall of the hall, leaving a small pit on it.
"Where did this metal come from?!"
Levi held up the black-blue metal ingot in his hand and looked sideways at Layton and Mira with a serious face.
"It's ......"
Layton leaned over to the metal block to take a closer look, but after looking at it for a long time, he figured out what kind of metal it was.
He didn't know every item in the basement, and he wasn't a blacksmith, so he might be able to tell the quality of the finished weapon, but he couldn't recognize a single piece of metal.
"Master Mage, I'd better find someone to check it out for you, right?"
Levi nodded, took out his arcane blade, and cut a thumb-sized piece from it and gave it to Layton.
This is not Li Wei's stinginess at all, but this piece of metal ingot is too precious, although it is only half the size of a fist, it is worth tens of thousands of source stones.
This metal is the source essence blue cobalt, which has an ultra-high source force transmission ability, and this metal is added to the secret magic blade to enhance the power of the source force.
Source Essence Blue Cobalt is the most basic material for all Source Force weapons, and the value of the same unit is far more than Source Force Essence, which is why Levi is so careful.
Plane exploration, sure enough, is a million profits!
"Don't do this kind of thing, just check it quietly, don't be too deliberate. ”
Levi carefully instructed that if it weren't for the fact that Leighton had a magical servitude contract with him, he would not have shown the value of this piece of Source Essence Blue Cobalt.
"Yes, Master Mage. ”
Layton solemnly replied, placing the thumb-sized piece of metal in place.
Levi found a box of jewelry in the other boxes, poured out the contents casually, and then took out a delicate piece of cloth and wrapped the remaining piece of metal in his hand tightly before handing it to Valila beside him.
As for the metal pieces in the box, Levi didn't look for it any further, closed the box and pushed it aside.
There were still three chests left in the hall, and Ciel and Valila had already taken the lead in checking Levi, and they were all some ore herbs, as well as a few magic cores.
The other smaller box contained a few pieces of finely crafted leather armor, which were all put away by Levi.
At this time, the two members of the Joseph family also figured out Levi's hobbies - no gold coins and jewelry, and no materials and ores.
Putting everything he had picked aside, Levi told Layton that he could take the rest back.
Then Mira went out to inform the butler, and led the guards to carry the chests containing gold coins and jewels. At the same time, those armors didn't mean much to Levi, so Levi didn't take them with Layton's hobby, and sent them back to the basement together.
After disposing of these boxes, the housekeeper looked at the boxes next to him and asked respectfully, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you need to help you put the remaining boxes?"
"For the remaining five boxes, just arrange for the guards to help me move into the room. ”
Levi now resides in the largest guest room of the Baron Castle, where two Dark Elf warriors are guarding, so no one knows what's going on inside.
"Yes, Master Mage. The butler was puzzled, but he still followed Levi's orders.
In fact, not only the butler, but everyone in the castle had doubts, and Leighton and Mira were even more confused, because it was the content of their doubts that caused the Baronial Castle to change owners.
A tidal wave of enemies silently poured into the Baron's Castle, and the well-equipped strange races, the cold and cruel skeleton undead, destroyed the entire Baron's Castle's defenses with lightning speed, and occupied the entire Baron's Castle.
After Leighton surrendered, all the enemies disappeared as if they had never existed, as if most of the enemies were their hallucinations.
The undead can also be understood, as a nobleman, Layton has heard that they are summons from necromancers, and if they are released, they will return to another world.
But where is the necromancer?
Of course, Layton had also seen the elves of the eastern forest, the tribes of the northern wasteland, the wizarding world, and the gods and goddesses, all of which were not surprising to him.
What about the ghostly assassins with furry ears, the elven archers with their precision and dexterity, who resemble Miss Valila in all shapes?
And where are the warriors with fangs and two meters tall who look like orcs in the northern wasteland?
Where did the girl with the ability to heal wounds go?
The crux of the matter is, how did these people appear in the Baron's Castle out of thin air, and how did they disappear?
These things are completely beyond the scope of Layton's cognition, and they are simply unimaginable.
And this kind of question is deeply resonant with everyone in the Baron Castle, but no one dares to ask, it is buried deep in their hearts.
Now that the butler had moved the box into Levi's room in the Baron's castle, the question was even stronger, and Mira was almost ready to ask, but was restrained by reason.
After the butler and the guards carried the box out of the hall, Levi returned to his seat with Valula and Ciel, and then turned his head to glance at Valula.
As if it had been discussed in advance, the latter immediately understood what Levi meant, and said, "Although Baron Layton, you have not yet achieved anything for your master, but your master has decided to reward you. ”
Then, Valila took out a long strip from behind her chair, which was wrapped in a black cloth so tightly that for a moment she could not see what it was.
"This is the reward that the master has given you. ”
"Thank you, Master Master, for your generosity. ”
Layton respectfully took the thing Valila had handed him and carefully disassembled it.
At the beginning of the dinner, he saw Valila carrying this thing, but he didn't expect it to be given to him by Levi.
But Leighton didn't hold out much hope, after all, for the aristocracy, such a shoddy packaging said it all.
Sure enough, after removing the black cloth layer by layer, there was an unpretentious long sword inside, and the pattern decoration of the hilt was still a little old.
"Thank you for your gift, Master Mage. ”
Although the long sword was very ordinary, Layton still stood up and thanked Levi again, and his attitude and posture were respectful enough.
Just as Layton put away his sword and was about to sit back in his seat, Levi suddenly said, "Won't you pull out your sword and take a look?"
Levi's tone was very flat, but even if this rhetorical question was in a normal tone, Layton could feel the other party's dissatisfaction in his ears when he heard it.
"Father, since Lord Levi has allowed you to draw your sword here, you can take it out and watch it with us. Mira quickly reminded with a smile, her eyes full of meaning.
After a moment of stunned, Layton also reacted quickly, saying that it was superfluous to say anything now, he bowed slightly apologetically, and then drew his long sword.
As Layton expected, the blade of the longsword was ordinary, and there was no special design for its width and thickness.
But just as Layton pretended to erect the sword in front of him and was about to praise "good sword" against his will, a faint cold light flashed on it!
It's not a reflection of metal, it's an enchanted glow that's the same as Layton's sword, and it's also a sharp enchantment!
And Leighton's sword was bought by him from other nobles for two thousand five hundred gold coins, and judging from the light flashing on the long sword that Levi gave him, it would be at least a few hundred gold coins more expensive!
And the important thing is that there is no price in the market, unless there is a shortage of money, no one is willing to sell such an enchanted sword!
"Master Mage......
Layton was happy, but just as he spoke, a black glow flashed on the blade!
Double Enchantment!
Layton was shocked that this sword had two enchantment effects!
Whether it's an enchanted weapon or armor, there's a world of difference between having one enchantment effect and having two enchantments at the same time, and the price is five or six times higher!
This is not only a requirement for the material and craftsmanship of the weapon, but also a great requirement for the mage's enchantment ability and skill.
"You gave me this enchanted equipment?"
The sword was still confiscated, and Layton looked at Levi in shock.
"Hmph, Baron Layton is really a snob, he was disdainful of this sword just now, and now he knows how to be a treasure?"
Hill was obviously still reeling from Layton's reaction just now, and asked sneeringly as he lowered his head and stuck the steak on his plate.
Her blunt words immediately embarrassed Layton's face, but she didn't say anything to refute it.
After all, this long sword was too precious, and his previous treatment was also problematic.
Valila next to her was expressionless, because Levi on the side did not open her mouth to express her position, she would not easily take a stand, but explained the long sword for Leighton,
"Although this longsword looks ordinary, the materials used for forging it are very good, and it has been processed by the master's mage, and there are two layers of enchantment on it.
The first layer is the basic enchantment sharpness commonly used by many weapons, and the second enchantment is similar to the effect of retardation. If you hit an opponent in battle, the opponent's speed will likely be reduced to less than one-third of its original speed. As for the success rate, you need to practice it yourself. ”
Varila's explanation shocked Layton even more, the effect of the second retardation technique was basically magic, and in this case, this longsword was already considered magical equipment in a sense!
In comparison, in Layton's mind, the things he offered Levi were not worth mentioning at all!
"Thank you so much for your generosity, Master Master, the Joseph family will be loyal to you!"
