I ate, prepared spells, and studied for a while the techniques for casting spells without materials.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zuo Si left the hotel and headed to the gathering place for scholars and spellcasters in the XC area of Calimport.
Unlike the noise and crowds in other parts of the city, this place looks very quiet and orderly at first glance.
On both sides of the road stand many large and small mage towers, libraries and garden villas.
More than one-fifth of the pedestrians on the street have very obvious magic fluctuations on their bodies.
Basically, they are either wizards, warlocks, or bards, or they are wearing magic items of a high level.
And they were followed by groups of servants and slaves.
The most important thing is that this is not like the dock area, where pickpockets and thieves are everywhere.
And the soldiers on patrol are also very conscientious.
Once a suspicious person is discovered, he will immediately come forward to question him, and then make a quick decision whether to arrest or deport him.
The cleanliness of the streets is almost comparable to that of modern cities.
Even though it is on the edge of a water-scarce desert, a large number of fountain landscapes are still built near the square.
On the contrary, it is very difficult for the poor people in the slums to even take a sip of clean drinking water.
Using the address left by the businesswoman, Zuo Si quickly found a four-story minaret.
Before he could reach out to knock on the door, the originally closed door suddenly opened automatically.
"Thank God! You finally woke up before dark. Don't talk nonsense, come in quickly, I have prepared enough materials, let's start work quickly." Aisha stood at the door and urged.
"So urgent? Have you already received the order?"
Zuo Si asked as he followed the other person into the hall on the first floor of the Mage Tower.
Compared with the one in Ashtar, the Archmage of the Necromancer in the Floating City, this place is obviously much smaller, and some places look very compact and crowded.
The stairs and passages can only accommodate one person.
Various materials, tools, scrolls and half-finished magic items are piled up everywhere.
The businesswoman replied proudly: "Of course! In fact, I have already received fifteen orders in advance. Many spellcasters, adventurers, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and even some giant spirit plane merchants in this city are interested in this kind of business."
Energy storage devices have shown considerable interest. If the first batch of goods can be delivered on time while maintaining quality, more orders will follow immediately."
"How broad is your business scope?"
Zuo Si was completely stunned by the energy displayed by the other party.
In particular, magic merchants who can travel freely between different planes to conduct trade are definitely not accessible to just anyone.
Compared with the woman in front of him, Epke, the leader of the thieves guild that rules half of the dock area, seems to have infinite glory, but in fact he is just a "younger brother within a younger brother".
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Elsa asked with a chuckle. "I am one of the very few magic item merchants in Calim Port who has a stable channel and can continuously supply. Of course, part of this is due to my special bloodline.
.It makes it easier for me to deal with those cunning plane merchants."
While they were talking, the two of them arrived at a workshop on the second floor one after another.
The businesswoman pointed to the materials piled in the corner and said: "Here, everything you want is here. I have just opened the permissions, and you can use the reserve energy of the Mage Tower to your heart's content."
"You didn't even buy me a cup of tea, and you just asked me to work directly?" Zuo Si couldn't help but complain.
Because the other party's impatient look reminded him of the faces of unscrupulous capitalists on earth who desperately exploited their employees.
Elsa pursed her lips and responded with a smile: "Time is money, my young friend. It's not too late to drink tea or something if you finish your work first. What's more, for every one sold, you can also get 9,100 gold coins.
’s share.”
"Okay, you win. But I don't like to be disturbed when I'm working, so you'd better leave first. I'll call you after the production is completed."
Zuo Si randomly found a reason and planned to send the businesswoman away.
After all, it’s easy to get caught in front of people when it comes to shearing wool, so it’s more convenient to do it alone.
"No problem, I'll wait for you on the first floor."
Without saying a word, Elsa turned around and disappeared at the end of the spiral staircase.
When the other party was completely gone, Zuo Si carefully cast a detection spell. After confirming that there were no other surveillance magic or devices in the workshop, he immediately grabbed the small jars filled with silver metal particles in the corner and stuffed several into his pocket.
.
Followed by a translucent thread-like substance like liquid mercury in the bottle next to it.
The former knows without asking that it is Mithril, one of the most famous magic metals in Faerun.
Its characteristic is lightness.
It has the same hardness and toughness as the best steel under the same volume, but its weight is only half of that of steel.
Whether making weapons or armor, the user can save more energy and become extra flexible during combat.
The latter bottle contains a type of spider silk called [Phase Spider].
Because this terrifying predator has the ability to travel between the etheric plane and the real world, its spider silk is actually a special form formed by the material from the etheric plane mixed with its own magic power, and contains extremely powerful magical power.
, is an excellent material for making robes, cloaks and other equipment.
Many people who do not understand magic or do not understand it often mistake the shuttle ability of [Phase Spider] for teleportation magic.
You don't need to ask to know that these two rare materials, which are expensive and difficult to obtain, were made by Zuo Si under the guise of making energy storage devices to enrich his own pockets.
But to enrich his own pockets, he had no intention of cutting corners during the subsequent production process.
Quite the opposite!
Zuo Si has almost pathologically demanding requirements for making magic items.
It's like a combination of a late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder patient and a perfectionist, absolutely unable to tolerate even a single flaw.
With the ability of the creator profession, he completed the production of six energy storage devices in less than half an hour.
As for the rest of the time...
Of course I will continue to collect wool!
Since the library of the Mage Tower is next door to the workshop, Zuo Si, after extracting some of the tower's reserve energy, went directly into the library and began to quickly read through the books and notes one by one in order.
Using the photographic memory of the [Thinking Library], all the books on a bookshelf were memorized in the depths of my mind in less than forty minutes.
Those precious knowledge worth thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins were sold for nothing.
The only regret is that spells cannot be recorded through the [Thinking Library].
Because it is too abstract, you must copy it and study it slowly before you can master it.
Facts have once again proven that "free prostitution" can really make people feel happy.
However, considering that the sky is getting darker and darker, if you continue to "have sex for free", you may be caught.
Zuo Si decisively gave up and "whored" all the books in the entire library in one breath, and came to the first floor with six completed energy storage devices.
The moment Aisha saw the cylindrical storage device, she stood up from the sofa and asked with surprise: "You did it so quickly?"
"Well! Today's volume is finally completed." Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be tired and nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work! Here, I have prepared the best mint tea in Caling Port for you. Come and drink two cups to refresh yourself. I also need to recharge them a little bit."
After saying that, the businesswoman raised her hand and started chanting a spell.
In the blink of an eye, dazzling bright arcs shot out from her fingers, constantly jumping between several energy storage devices.
