Inside the trading tower of the Wizarding Academy...
Several green goblins were standing outside a shop on the second floor, shouting loudly.
"Go away! You greedy reptiles are just the core of the Shadow Wolf!" The withered old man standing at the door of the store got angry. "Don't you think you can still sell it for the price of the Storm Lion's heart core? If you want to sell it, sell it.
, If I don’t sell it, find someone else!”
The sudden scene immediately caught Raymond's attention. As the noise appeared, the originally empty hall on the second floor quickly became lively. Many people came out of the shops around the hall and watched what happened.
A place of contention.
But Allivo, who was standing next to Raymond, chuckled. He stopped Raymond who wanted to follow him and quickly explained.
It turns out that there are many underground creatures living near Hongze Wetland, and these green-skinned goblins are a large tribe gathered nearby, and they are famous for bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Allivo sighed as he shook his head. "They actually want to sell Shadow Wolf's heart core for the same price as Storm Lion's heart core. No wonder Old Tori is angry."
Eliver, who was explaining to Raymond as he walked, dragged Raymond up the stairs to the third floor and continued to explain. "This is not the first time this has happened. It will happen often in the future. If it weren't for a few of them
They are the descendants of the leader of the goblin tribe, and they have been kicked out by Old Tori a long time ago. There is nothing they offer that Old Tori doesn't recognize, so it is impossible to fool them."
"Isn't it forbidden by the Trading Tower to deceive them like this?" Raymond, who followed Allivo up the stairs, felt a little strange.
A helpless expression appeared on Allif's face. "Although they are a bit difficult to deal with, the materials provided by the goblin tribe are still very precious. As long as they don't cause trouble in the trading tower, the academy will not interfere."
The surprised Raymond couldn't help but ask more questions, but the enthusiastic Alliver didn't think it was strange. He then explained in detail.
It turns out that the reason why the Wizarding Academy allows these neutral or good races to come to trade is because everyone gets what they need. With their numerical advantage, the goblin race can obtain a large amount of resources in the vast underground world, while the Wizarding Academy uses them
in exchange for scarce food.
In this way, although the goblin tribe needs to make a lot of sacrifices to obtain the materials needed by the wizards, with the food provided by the wizards, several goblin tribes living near the Hongze Wetland are living happily.
The taste is far superior to similar species living in other places.
Raymond did not continue to ask further. In this seemingly fair transaction, Raymond guessed that there must be other factors involved, because for creatures like wizards, without equal strength, there would be no equality at all.
of.
This is true in the category of wizards, not to mention these non-human races. Being weak is their original sin.
Following Eliver and temporarily putting aside the doubts that appeared in his mind, Raymond arrived at the third floor of the trading tower and stood at the top of the stairs to observe.
The space on the third floor is smaller, and there are even fewer shops. The operators of the shops on this floor seem very bored. Even if they see someone walking into the shop, they ignore them.
According to Erivo's introduction, this place deals in magic and wizard knowledge. Soon after entering the store, Raymond discovered that there were hundreds of memory light balls in each store, neatly arranged.
Place them on wooden shelves.
After entering this level, Erivo's expression became a little helpless. "These memory light balls condensed by first-level wizards have viewing permission settings inside. Unless you spend magic stones to buy them, you can only see the inside.
An introduction, or introduction.”
Raymond felt strange about the sales method introduced by Alivore. He picked up a memory light ball and infiltrated his spiritual power into it.
Soon a piece of text written in ancient Torres appeared in Raymond's mind. This memory ball contained an improved version of a fire spell. The owner was a person named Alexandra.
The wizard.
This fire attribute spell is claimed in the introduction to be able to increase the power of fire by 20% while reducing the cost by 10%. It is a very excellent improved spell.
Raymond quickly browsed through the introduction, but when he saw the price displayed on the wooden shelf, he couldn't help but be frightened.
A total of three hundred low-level magic stones!
"That's why there's no one here," Alliver shook his head with a wry smile and said apologetically. "Such a high price is simply not something we apprentices can afford. If you are willing to browse here,
Then I’ll go down first.”
Nodding, after Raymond exchanged spells with him for future contact, Raymond asked Erivo to leave first, while he started browsing among the wooden shelves.
Because the contents of all memory light balls are tightly protected, the sellers in the store don't care at all if the light balls are artificially damaged or the contents inside are peeped by others.
Although Raymond, who was wandering between these wooden frames, could not see all the contents of these memory balls, the introductions and instructions were all recorded by his chip, and as the number of Raymond's inquiries increased,
Some reference data has also been entered into the chip's database.
For Raymond, this kind of knowledge in the memory ball, which is similar to the introduction, not only allows him to know the spells that the author is good at, but also allows him to master the detailed classification of the spells, which is most important to him.
What was useful was that Raymond understood a key issue.
Improvements in magic!
It was also a fireball technique that could be performed by a third-class apprentice. After checking the chip records, Raymond found that the unimproved technique was like a standard version.
But after being improved by a certain wizard, the power of this spell can be increased by several percent, and the mana consumption can be reduced a lot. There are even spells that have been improved by a wizard, which require mental strength from the caster.
It is also greatly reduced, and it can even allow third-level apprentices to leapfrog and perform advanced spells!
The huge harvest made Raymond calm down. After spending half a day, Raymond checked all the memory orbs on the third floor of the trading tower.
He could clearly feel the curious eyes behind him. After putting the last memory ball back into place, Raymond turned around and bowed to the store operator.
Then, under the curious gaze of everyone, he walked towards the spiral staircase and prepared to leave.
