Chapter 73 Purchasing and Inlaying (please read)
Richard returned to his dormitory again and felt uneasy.
The sudden appearance of huge energy fluctuations, the southwest direction, the first appearance of a great wizard he had never seen before, etc., all made him feel that there was a sign of an impending crisis.
This made Richard start to think attentively. To the southwest, there seemed to be the spider path. Could it be the cause of the drow?
That's not necessarily true, because I heard Teacher Seles mention it last time that it has been sealed by the school.
And regarding this kind of issue involving the school of thought and the drow elves, I am just an insignificant little shrimp. What I can do now is to improve my combat effectiveness as much as possible to cope with the uncertain future.
It seems that now it is time to go to the trading area.
The first is the zero-level witchcraft of summoning skeletons. It is best to buy a crystal ball with a rubbing of the summoning circle. Although there is no process of hand-painting the spelling circle with your own blood essence and ethereal ink, it will increase the mental consumption during summoning. , but compared to the agility of casting spells, this mental consumption is insignificant.
It is impossible for Richard to draw the summoning circle in advance every time. When the enemy comes, he must summon it immediately. This is unrealistic.
The best way is to imprint the summoning circle into a crystal ball, and then find a mosaicist to mosaic the crystal ball on your banshee finger.
In the middle of the bone palm of the Banshee Finger, there is a depression for the five fingers to hold, which is more than enough to place a crystal ball!
In this case, his zero-level witchcraft summoning skeleton can be performed within two or three seconds, greatly improving its practicality.
This is also the most common method used by second- and third-level wizard apprentices who prefer summoning witchcraft.
Secondly, it is about the raw materials of the alchemy bomb, such as the fire flowers, broken star wood, and sulfur bricks of the Fire Dance Star bomb; the silver shavings, moon stones, charcoal powder, etc. of the Silver Moon Dust, all of which need to be purchased.
Thinking of this, Richard quickly took stock of the magic stones on hand, including the small bag of magic stones he obtained from Seymour last time. The total was 248 magic stones.
There were also two bottles of potion. One was a sleeping potion, and the other one he could easily identify now was the vitality potion that the winner could receive during the competition.
Among some fragmented spell-casting materials, he also saw bone powder, which is an essential witchcraft medium for performing zero-level witchcraft and bone armor.
Having made up his mind, Richard immediately stopped hesitating, took the magic stone and planned to head to the school's trading area.
But just after taking a step, Richard returned to the desk, opened the drawer, and then opened the mezzanine. He saw a drawer full of Fire Dance Star arranged neatly, with more than forty bottles in total. These Fire Dance Stars are what he has accumulated during this period of time.
Take out a packaging box, similar to a test tube storage box, carefully place each fire dance star, ten in total, into it and cover it.
Then he opened a hidden drawer in the closet next to him, took out ten packages of Silver Moon Dust, and put them into another box.
After taking these two boxes, Richard strode out of the dormitory and headed to the trading area.
Seeing the apprentices walking in a hurry along the way, Richard felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, when he came to the trading area, Richard discovered that there were not a few people who had the same idea as him.
Looking at the crowded trading area, Richard smiled bitterly, shook his head, and squeezed into the crowd towards Sanders' cabin.
In the hut, there were at least seven or eight wizard apprentices of all levels who were shopping for potions or asking questions. The brown-haired girl was so busy that she could only nod as a greeting when she saw Richard coming in. He had to be busy with the customers in front of him.
Richard looked around and said, "Hey guys, the price has increased by nearly 30%."
For example, the stench potion that originally cost only ten magic stones now costs thirteen magic stones.
The price of the blinding potion has increased from the original twelve magic stones to sixteen magic stones.
There are also vitality potions that are more commonly used among second- and third-level wizard apprentices. The price has also soared from eight magic stones to fifteen magic stones. The price has almost doubled!
Seeing that the second-level wizard apprentice in front of him was buying five bottles of five bottles, Richard knew that this price was definitely not the upper limit. I estimate that if I buy it tomorrow, the price will be much higher than now. Not to mention, the biggest problem is whether there are potions!
After painfully paying a large amount of magic stones and purchasing some necessary potions, Richard rushed to Daenerys' alchemy shop, the same shop where the brown-haired twin sisters lived.
Take a closer look, hiss! Compared to the people at Sanders Cottage Pharmacy, there are not many people here at all.
While queuing, Richard also learned about the price increase from the apprentice in front.
Sure enough, as he expected, the prices of alchemy bombs also increased across the board, but the increase was not as exaggerated as the potions.
The price of Fire Dance Star has increased from the original fifteen magic stones to eighteen magic stones, an increase of about 20%, but the price of the raw material Fire Flower has basically remained unchanged.
It seems that there are still advantages to coming early.
Seeing this situation, Richard's expression remained unchanged, but he was overjoyed inside.
The ten bottles of Fire Dance Star and ten packets of Silver Moon Dust that he just took were originally intended to be used to purchase crystal balls and inlays after selling them.
He was worried about whether he had enough magic stones before, but judging from the current situation, there should be some leftover.
The price of a finished crystal ball that has been stamped with the [Summon Skeleton] reverse pentagram formation is about two hundred magic stones; if it is inlaid, it will cost twenty to thirty to forty or fifty magic stones, and the price is determined by the inlay master. Determined by the craftsmanship.
"Hello, I have a crystal ball, and bring me ten fire flowers, two broken starwoods, and a sulfur brick." "
Hey! Richard, why are you here!" The brown-haired girl had a happy expression on her face. .
The brown-haired girl also went to watch the freshman qualifying competition. She was really surprised to know that the handsome junior in front of her actually won the top spot among the freshmen.
"Um, do you have a familiar inlay master in your store? I want to inlay this crystal ball on the cane." Richard raised the banshee finger in his hand.
"Of course there is. The second shop next to the right is the mosaic shop. Richard said that Daenerys introduced me here and they will give you the best discount." "Okay, thank you, senior
!"
An hour later, when Richard returned to the dormitory again, he was overjoyed to see the new Banshee Finger inlaid by the third-level wizard apprentice with the best craftsmanship in that inlay shop at a cost of fifty magic stones.
There is a miniature inverse pentagram array in the crystal ball, which feels a bit like a micro carving. Moreover, its position is exactly embedded in the depression in the center of the bone palm of the Banshee Finger. Not only does it not affect the original rune array in the slightest, but also Also very beautiful and elegant.
Richard took the new Banshee Finger and began to perform the zero-level witchcraft of summoning skeletons.
With the injection of a trace of mental power, the crystal ball instantly projected an inverse pentagram formation about three meters in diameter four or five meters in front of Richard.
This projection directly eliminates the hand-drawing process that the original caster had to perform, greatly improving the practicality of this witchcraft.
Just when Richard was thinking about continuing to improve the summoned skeleton, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
Richard was a little annoyed, but he could only pause the summons, opened the door and saw that it was his senior sister Mei Luo.
"Richard, Teacher Seles has asked you to come over right away!" Senior Sister Mei Luo said in a hurry.
