A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

As the [Frozen Pearl] was put into the small pocket on the outside of the satchel, Zuo Si immediately felt the heat leave him, replaced by an indescribable coolness.

It felt like walking into an air-conditioned room on a hot summer day.

Every pore in his body seemed to be jumping for joy.

The woman noticed the change in the expression on Zuo Si's face, and immediately reminded with a smile: "Be careful, the effect of [Frozen Pearl] is lasting, it is best not to leave it on your body for too long, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold.

Also, if you put it in a bucket.

Then in about an hour, the water will freeze.

After two or three hours, the entire bucket of water will freeze into ice cubes. "

"I understand, thank you. I'll pay attention." Zuo Si nodded lightly.

As a creator, he saw through the magical principle and operation of the [Frozen Pearl] the moment he got it.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a cold water pearl blessed with freezing magic.

The level of its spell is so low that it is not even one level. It is at best a zero-level trick.

But the creator was very unconventional and did not make it a one-time attack magic prop, but instead released it steadily and continuously to the surroundings.

In this way, the speed of energy consumption is perfectly balanced with the speed of drawing energy from the magic network.

If Zuo Si was asked to estimate the cost price, this thing would only be worth 150 to 200 gold coins at best, and absolutely no more.

If he could get enough magic scrolls and cold water pearls worth 10 gold coins, with his level of making magic items, he could make more than a dozen in a short time.

Unfortunately, Zuo Si does not have the ability to cast spells or copy scrolls now, so he can only bear the pain and buy one at a high price for makeshift use.

After all, he couldn't get sick under any circumstances.

"Is there anything else you want? For example, this charm pendant, or that magic resistance necklace?" The woman continued to sell other things on the stall.

She had obviously just seen how many gold coins were in the bags carried by the soldiers, and she was eager to empty them all.

But unfortunately, Zuo Si was not interested in these low-level magic items at all. Instead, he turned his attention to the books on the shelf, and after a little observation, he started to name the books.

"Bring me a copy of "Elvish Language and Letters - From Beginner to Mastery", a copy of "Dragon Language Encyclopedia", a copy of "From Apprentice to Mage, the Spells You Should Master", a copy of "Arcane Spellcaster's Guide" Advanced Techniques", a book "On Spellcasting without Materials", a book "Introduction to Magic Network", a book "Required Courses for Advanced Mage", a book "Spell First Attack Guide", a book "Super Magic Skills - Spell Extension" hour"."

""Elvish Language and Letters - From Beginner to Mastery" 100 gold coins, "Encyclopedia of Dragon Language" 500 gold coins, "From apprentice to mage, the tricks you should master" 250 gold coins, "Advanced Skills for Arcane Spellcasters" 2000 Gold coins, "On Casting Spells without Materials" 1,000 gold coins, "Introduction to Magic Network" 1,300 gold coins, "Required Courses for Advanced Mage" 5,000 gold coins, "Spell Initiative Guide" 750 gold coins, "Super Magic Skills - Spell Delay" 3,000 gold coins. "

Every time a woman takes a book off the shelf, she will quote the price of the book.

Similarly, Zuo Si's heart skipped a beat after hearing the price.

When the price of the last book was reported, he suddenly realized that just buying these books would cost him 13,900 gold coins!

What does knowledge mean as wealth?

That’s it!

Moreover, in Faerûn, which is full of magical power, knowledge is not only wealth, but also extremely powerful power.

Just when Zuo Si was shocked by the incredible prices of magic books in Faerun, the soldier immediately lowered his voice and reminded: "Master, I'm afraid that if we add all the money we have together, we are still a little short."

"It doesn't matter. Just take out all the money first. If it's not enough, I'll find a way." Zuo Si sighed helplessly.

Since he used to live in the High Tower of the Floating City, all his books were borrowed from the Archmage of the Necromancer, Asta, without spending a penny at all.

When I suddenly had to pay for knowledge by myself, I realized that the books and notes that were so readily available were so valuable outside.

Without saying a word, the soldier poured out the remaining gold coins in his bag, a total of 6,326.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the deposit slip given by Apke, the leader of the Thieves Guild, which contained 8,214 silver and gold coins and a total of 36,395 silver coins of various colors.

Looking at these certificates and the gold coins piled on the table, the woman quickly calculated in her mind, and her two strange eyes suddenly flashed with an unconcealable smile: "8214 [Centaurs] cast by Amn can be converted into 4107 gold coins.

As for silver coins, Sambia's [Raven] is worth slightly less in Calimport.

But since you spent so much at one time, I didn’t care about it and converted it into 1820 gold coins.

A total of 12,253 gold coins.

In other words, you are still short of 1647 gold coins. "

"Can't we get a discount?"

Zuo Si blinked deliberately and tried to get rid of the remaining money by acting cute.

But unfortunately, the woman didn't accept this idea at all, and she shook her head and refused: "Sorry, no. The rule of buying and selling magic items is never to negotiate the price. Otherwise, you can try to eliminate one or two of these books. "

"Oh, forget it. Please see how much this is worth."

Zuo Si took off the cylindrical translucent energy storage crystal fixed on his belt and placed it gently on the counter.

"What's this?!"

It was obviously the first time for the woman to see such a strange thing. She immediately picked it up and tried to identify its use and value through magic.

But before the spell could be cast, Zuo Si took the initiative and said, "This is a powerful energy storage device.

Uses unprecedented new technology and advanced enchantments.

Can absorb and store all forms of lightning energy and then release it like a wand.

However, it is different from the ordinary lightning wand which can only be released one shot at a time.

It can drain all energy at once and cause astonishing damage in a short period of time. "

"Can I try it?" the woman asked without raising her head while staring at the cylindrical energy storage crystal.

"Of course, please do."

Zuo Si made a gesture of invitation, then pulled the soldier back a few steps, leaving a relatively safe distance.

The woman who got the affirmative answer said nothing and immediately began to mobilize the magical energy in her blood.

When the spell and gesture were completed, a dazzling electric light shot out from the fingers and immersed into the interior of the cylindrical crystal on the spot.

Seeing the silver electric light flashing inside the cylindrical crystal, her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really absorbed and stored in it!

What is the principle of this thing?

What materials, magic, and techniques does it use?

How many lightning spells can be stored at most? "

“The maximum limit should be thirty lightning bolts.

As for what the principle is, what kind of materials, magic and technology are used, please forgive me that I cannot tell you.

after all……

No knowledge is priceless.

Especially private knowledge that only I know. "

When saying these words, Zuo Si couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth, showing a cunning smile like a little fox.

Judging from the other party's reaction, this woman has been attracted to the cylindrical crystal memory.

If you can't seize the opportunity to make a killing at this moment, how can you be worthy of the nearly 14,000 gold coins spent at this stall today.

Even if you can't make a lot of money, you still have to at least get some blood back.

He finally understood.

If you want to learn magic knowledge in Faerûn, you have to prepare astronomical amounts of wealth.

Otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to afford a few books.

Not to mention those high-level magics, legendary magic items, and even artifacts that cannot be measured in money.
