Chapter 68 Lann: My currency ability has been upgraded.
Triss introduced: "I found most of these from the ruins. I don't usually use them, I just keep them as collections, and I didn't give them names."
Lann joked: "If these magic items are given names, maybe they can be sold at a better price."
Triss chuckled: "If they are not sold this time, I will consider it next time.
" After some interruption, Triss began to introduce the items on the table to Lann one by one.
She first pointed at the badge: "It can attract attention. When he wears it on his body, the enemy will involuntarily attack the badge - and the body under the badge. But it can only be worn around the neck or pinned to the chest. It has this effect. I guess it was used by a certain warlock for slave cannon fodder or monsters."
Then came the statue: "It is a switch of a ruins mechanism. It has no effect on its own. But it still contains considerable magic power. Moss Sark said you might be interested, so I brought it with me."
Then came the crystal bird skull: "Looking out from the eyes of this crystal skull, you can see through certain magical illusions - just to a certain extent, too profound. It's useless."
Finally, there was the luminous pearl: "There's nothing to say about this. It can shine. It's even brighter underwater. Do you want to see it?"
Lan thought for a while and asked, "Can I Would you like to touch them?"
"Of course."
Lann touched them one by one, starting with the badges, but there was no response.
Then there are the statues. The moment his hand touched the statue, the system's prompt sounded:
[Discover the source of magic power].
good!
But this is the only source of magic power, and the remaining crystal bird skulls and pearls have no response.
Triss saw that Lan was just looking at these magic items in an amateurish way, and said kindly: "Would you like to try them all? This badge can only be effective in battle." Lan shook his head: "No need
. , I believe you. These magic items can play different roles both in battle and in life. Even if they are just for collection, they are good. I want them all. I wonder what price you want to sell them for, Triss? "
Although only the statue can be used as the source of magic power, the remaining three magic items also have unique effects. Especially the Taunt Badge and the Crystal Bird Skull. Now Lan can think of many ways to use them, so he will definitely be prepared.
Triss's trust in Lan was very useful, and she explained Lan's subsequent inquiry: "Generally speaking, when we use magic items, we barter, but I heard that this is the first time you have purchased magic items. , this method is impossible to achieve. Then -"
Triss reported a number that she thought was not small.
Lann immediately agreed: "No problem."
Mossack opened his mouth to persuade, but felt that Lann was a little too spendthrift.
"But..." Lann added, "I don't think ordinary warlocks will sell their collections. I wonder what new research projects Ms. Triss has recently? It just so happened that my aunt opened Cintra's magic material collection to me. , if you are interested, you can choose from them."
Triss's eyes lit up, for a warlock, this was much more attractive than money.
Mossack did not expect this situation, and asked in amazement: "When did Queen Calanthe open these resources to you?"
Lann replied: "Just recently."
Mossack was silent, and the royal family gave There is a quota for his offerings.
"Thank you so much." Triss lifted up her skirt and bowed.
Everyone is satisfied with this situation.
But at this moment, looking at Triss, Lann, who was preparing to go to Toussaint recently, suddenly had an idea.
"I don't know, Ms. Triss, are you free recently?"
Triss was slightly surprised: "Huh?"
"That's right." Lann explained, "I am currently preparing to go to Toussaint to explore a professor's magic. Laboratory ruins, you may have heard of his name: Thomas Moreu."
Triss nodded: "Professor Moreu was active before I became a warlock, but his research on demon hunters is very famous. Many Warlocks who are obsessed with witcher research speak highly of him."
Lann nodded and continued: "To be honest, I have received the help of a witcher. As for exploring the ruins of the magic laboratory, I think the participation of another warlock will make it more foolproof.
As a reward: you can make a copy of the experimental notes obtained from the ruins; if you have any need for the magic items in it, I can also give them as a thank you gift."
Exploring the magic laboratory of his colleagues is also quite tempting for the warlock. Triss was indeed interested, but after some thought, she still refused.
"This is indeed very attractive. After all, it is Professor Moru's laboratory." Triss sighed, "But I'm sorry Lan, the Warlock Brotherhood is calling us for a gathering recently. It may be difficult for me to participate in your exploration."
Lann was a little disappointed after hearing this, but there was nothing he could do.
"Speaking of which, this gathering has something to do with Cintra."
Triss suddenly said, and the expressions of Lann and Mossack also became curious.
"In fact, the Warlock Brotherhood is paying close attention to this Nilfgaardian invasion of the Northern Kingdom, and there are also frequent exchanges between the royal advisors of each kingdom. A group of Warlocks headed by Ms. Tisaya believe that we should help Cintra They resisted Nilfgaard together. They felt that Nilfgaard's ambitions for the north were more than that.
But another group of warlocks did not care about this. As you know - Cintra has always rejected warlocks, so some warlocks also They are no longer willing to help Cintra. And they don’t think Nilfgaard can really do anything to the North."
Lan frowned and said: "Then can we contact the warlocks who are willing to help Cintra? Maybe I If you can try to convince your aunt to give them good rewards and respect, Cintra will not refuse any friend who is willing to help us. "
You can't. Mossack sighed inwardly when he heard Lan's words, but did not say it out loud. He knew Calanthe better than anyone.
Triss also shook her head: "It is a pity that the Warlock Brotherhood is one, especially when it comes to such large-scale political issues. The Warlocks are not allowed to come to a result that is recognized by all members. Acting alone."
Seeing Lan's slightly disappointed expression, Triss comforted: "Don't worry, although this meeting is about Cintra, everyone thinks that Nilfgaard will not treat Cintra. How much damage did Ra cause. The real issue is the attitude of the entire North towards Nilfgaard."
