012 Laura
On the third day after returning from the Magicians Association, Xu Mu had moved into Wilson Castle and enjoyed the treatment second only to Dr. Wilkins.
When Viscount Paul was very happy to learn that Xu Mu had passed the registration and certification of the Magicians Association at a young age, he immediately promised to find opportunities in the future to help Xu Mu restore his family honor and gave him a gift of 200 gold pounds.
Xu Mu understood that this was Viscount Paul's envy for him. He had two hundred gold pounds at one move to buy a very decent house in a good location in Langton. Xu Mu was very satisfied and readily accepted the gold pounds, which was equivalent to acquiesceing the vocational relationship with the Wilson family.
During afternoon tea, Xu Mu sat in the Peony Cafe next to Langton Street, and in front of him was a mature lady with fashionable charm.
"Mr. Wilson, I assure you with the reputation of a merchant that this is definitely a magical antique. It is already the biggest discount for you to have thirty gold pounds."
The woman looked so painful that she pressed her hands on the wooden box on the table, and there was a pendant carved with amethyst inside.
Xu Mu smiled: "Beautiful Ms. Laura, don't forget that I am a registered magic apprentice. I have more say in whether an item contains magic power than you."
The beautiful woman named Laura's face turned gloomy. Her full name was Laura Claudi, an adventurer and black market businessman, a female profiteer who wanted money. However, Laura has a good reputation in business and is quite good at getting good things. Xu Mu met her through Vincent just to buy some magical items that can absorb psychic energy.
At this moment, Laura's beautiful face showed a painful expression. Obviously, this time she was misled and used an ordinary antique jewelry as a magic prop.
In fact, it is no wonder that this amethyst pendant can indeed be fake and real, and there is even a faint magic halo on the surface. If Xu Mu had not responded after buying it, he would not have been able to determine that it was a fake.
"Damn it! That bastard Rodick actually dares to sell me fake goods!" Laura murmured in a low voice, a dangerous light flashing in her narrow eyes.
I guess the antique dealer named Rodick is going to be in trouble. Laura's revolver and dagger are not for decoration.
"Beautiful lady, don't be angry. Do you have other magic props or items containing magic?" Xu Mu found Laura through Vincent to collect magical items that can transform psychic energy into the cemetery. Vincent vowed to promise that Laura's path was very wild and would not disappoint him.
The last time I absorbed the psychic energy of the Wind Blade Bracelet, I recruited five skeleton soldiers. Although my combat power was good, it was far from enough.
Xu Mu himself estimated that even if he summoned all five skeleton soldiers, he could deal with at most two to three intermediate magic apprentices. If he encountered a senior apprentice knight or a senior magic apprentice, he would definitely fail. He must obtain more psychic energy, open the cemetery building, and recruit more troops.
Laura snorted, then took out a black object from the bag around her waist, and put it on the table in anger: "Look at how this one is. If it doesn't work, forget it."
Xu Mu took it up. It was a silver ring. The surface was oxidized. It was portrayed with simple magic patterns, but there was no magic halo. It was impossible to tell from the surface that this was a magic item, but the moment Xu Mu's hand touched the ring, he immediately smiled: "This is good."
"Fifty gold pounds!" Laura's eyes lit up and immediately spoke up for a quote.
Xu Mu said hehe, shook his head and said, "It's impossible for fifty, I can pay the hardware pound."
"What a joke, this is a magic item!" Laura immediately glared at her eyes, and her tone of speech was octave higher.
"It's indeed a magic item, but it's damaged and cannot be repaired. No one in the whole city of Langton would ask for such things except me, so it's only worth a hardware pound. If it doesn't work, then forget it." Xu Mu smiled and was sure that Laura couldn't find another buyer.
"You..." Laura almost stood up and stared at the hateful young undead apprentice opposite her. But her family knew about her family. The damaged magic ring had been pressed on her hand for almost half a year. Although it was not profitable to sell the hardware pound to Xu Mu, it could at least recover the cost.
"Seven gold pounds, this is my cost price!" Laura also wanted to make a profit in the end.
"Hardware pound!" Xu Mu was unmoved and bitten to death and the price remained unchanged.
"Okay, you won, miser." Laura chose to accept it angrily.
Xu Mu paid the money very happily, and he got two hundred pounds of gold, which was almost equivalent to one million soft sister coins on the earth.
After the transaction was completed, Xu Mu took the ring and put it in his pocket at will, but directly absorbed the psychic energy the moment he put it in the pocket. In an instant, the psychic energy value in the cemetery jumped from '0' to '7'.
There are no unexpected surprises, but they are not disappointing.
"Beautiful lady, happy cooperation." Xu Mu stood up and shook hands: "If there is any next time, please contact me, I will give a reasonable price."
"Tsk!" Laura reluctantly stretched out her hand, not being able to make a profit in this transaction, which made her not very interested. However, just as Xu Mu was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and called Xu Mu and said, "Do you need a lot of such broken magic items? I mean, the kind that is damaged is very serious and cannot be used at all."
Xu Mu smiled and said, "Of course, but I need to choose in advance, not every piece of fragment is useful."
"I know someone, he should have a lot of these things." Laura's face showed a little fox-like expression: "But I want me to take you there and I have to pay the agency fee."
Xu Mu smiled: "How much agency fee do you want?"
"Not much, two gold pounds!" Laura said arrogantly, and she would earn two gold pounds from Xu Mu anyway.
"Okay, let's go now." Xu Mu paid the agency fee without hesitation. Laura is a local snake in Langton City. She has many ways and has a wide connection. If she helps, collecting magical items containing psychic energy will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Now... OK!" Laura hesitated slightly, but still nodded, got up and went out of the cafe with Xu Mu and got on the carriage together.
On the carriage, Laura reminded: "The place you go to is special later. Talk carefully and don't cause trouble. I know you are Vincent's clan, but the reputation of the Wilson family cannot protect you there. But you are a magician, and that guy is snobbish and should be more polite."
"You are not going to take me to the underground black market, right?" Xu Mu frowned. He heard Vincent say that it was full of blood and deception. The people there were either outlaws or murderers. None of the goods sold were legal.
Laura smiled mysteriously: "What you are talking about is the poor man who sets up a stall on the surface, and what I took you to find is one-eyed Kerrykin."
Xu Mu has never heard of this name, but looking at Laura's expression, Carrigin should be a very powerful figure in the underground black market. But he is not afraid. With his current strength, he can deal with it even if he encounters a high-level magic apprentice. Even if the current high-level magic apprentice in Langton City has high-end combat power, there has not been a formal-level strong man in recent decades.
The carriage was guided by Laura and drove west along Langton Street. After about a few minutes, it drizzled and started to rain.
Chapter completed!
