Chapter 8. Buy, buy, buy [Yesterday's chapter was marked wrong, this is Chapter 8]
"He, are they leaving?"
The young astrologist stood up tremblingly - he was holding Cyril's calves a few seconds ago. If it weren't for the young half-elf's shady lifting, he would have been holding him and refused to let go.
He also touched Cyril's boots twice more with some nostalgia. The body of this pair of boots was a pair of magic boots that Cyril had obtained, with a slight speed-up effect. After being remade by the tree demon, it added some protection and felt outstanding. It might be sold for several Gentry at auction.
"Let's go." Cyril turned his face and looked at the young man. He was not handsome, but his facial features were upright, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He probably liked the students in the academy.
"Is there a stall to cheat money?" He asked casually, but saw the latter immediately said seriously, "I didn't cheat money. What I said is true. My astrology is real..."
"So this is the reason why you use astrology to make money by setting up stalls?" Cyril sneered, "Peeling the gods, be careful of being punished by God when walking, and being smashed by a door sign when passing by the church."
"But ordinary divination does not require astrology..." The young man immediately changed his words, "Actually, I saw the wife of the captain of the guards having an affair with a wealthy businessman, and the wealthy businessman said something about poison..."
"So you said 'The Star of Love is flashing with black light'?" Cyril thoughtfully, but then said harshly, "That means, you still don't have serious divination techniques, you just rely on tricks to deceive people?"
"No, no, I really know astrology..." The young man scratched his ears and faces, "For example, your lord, your past, lord, how..."
"Can't you say it?" Cyril raised his eyebrows. It was obviously a very gentle and handsome face, but it scared the young man trembled and almost bent down to hug Cyril's thighs.
"No, it's just your life wheel... I can't read it without the help of the crystal ball. It's too complicated... it's better to say it's too dazzling?"
Cyril narrowed his eyes, and he looked at the astrologer and said in a deep voice: "That is, as long as there is a crystal ball, you can understand it?"
"It should...be..."
The astrologist had just answered hesitantly when the young half-elf in front of him pulled the collar and dragged it into the room where the man walked out of the previous person. The small space almost made him hit the ceiling. The half-elf let go of his hand and let him sit directly on the floor.
"Is there a crystal ball?"
"Crystal ball? There are, but this thing is not available to ordinary people..." He muttered when he heard a muffled voice, and then something was placed on the table.
Immediately afterwards, the young man took a shiny crystal ball from the table to him and shook it in front of him: "Hey, can you use this thing?"
"Crystal Ball?" The astrologist sat up in surprise, reached out to take the crystal ball, and just glanced down, and was completely stunned-
Endless darkness filled his sight, and then a little halo spread out in his eyes, like the brain mass of his head falling from a high place. He covered his mouth and couldn't help but retching—
What kind of crystal ball is this? What level of prop is this? How could it be? Is there a curse on it?
He raised his head and looked at the young man as if he was asking for help, but the effect of the crystal ball seemed to have begun to take effect. More and more pictures flocked in, breaking his boundary in an instant. Then he fell to the ground and did not move any more...
"Ah, I fainted." Cyril looked at the astrology man who fell down less than three seconds after he got the crystal ball. He picked up the crystal ball from his hand. The text of the item description appeared at this time:
"【Seranti's Crystal Ball】(cursed): Chasing, I chose to chase the stars, I saw the falling meteor, I followed its tail flame, it was so gorgeous...
The crystal ball that Seranti used once went to extremes and even fell into the abyss in order to get instructions from the gods...
When you pick up this crystal ball for divination, you will see an unprecedented picture.”
"This is actually a cursed prop?" Cyril looked at the Vera man behind the counter in wonder, "You dare to take this out for me?"
"I told you that this thing is not something that ordinary people can use..." The Vera muttered, and stretched out his hand, "Eighteen Gentry."
"Is this too embarrassed to take my money?" Cyril rolled his eyes, "It's all counted in the same amount. Let's take out all the equipment and formulas together."
"Then this recipe, the bone-eating and soul-burning potion, is also from Horn Carey..."
"purchase!"
"This dagger..."
"Don't think I don't know the goods, hurry up and change some really good goods!"
———————
Cyril bought a total of ten things at this alchemy workshop, spending nearly three hundred Gentry.
This made the Villar who wanted to stand up and salute him respectfully when he was sending him out of the store, and then put a membership card or something.
Among these ten things, two of them are the formulas produced by "Horn Carey" with the same formula as the first two potions. Since "Horn Carey" himself is a very famous pharmacist, it is not surprising that he spends a lot of money to buy his potions.
"Bone-Eating Soul-Curging Potion" and "Magic Boiling Potion", the former is a poison-tempering potion, which brings additional effects to weapons.
The latter sounds like an auxiliary agent, but is actually used for assassination. After being prepared, it is colorless, tasteless and invisible. It is added to the target's cup, which will then cause the target's magic to riot, and its bloodline will be torn apart by the magic to riot and die suddenly.
In fact, Cyril does not think that he can still use such potions to this point - he can win any opponent he should beat, and no opponent he can beat can make up for.
Just like the Heart of Tree Irandal, if you pour him ten bottles of magic boiling potion, he will only use the vine whip to beat you up silently.
But at least this is also the prerequisite for the "Horne Carey" mission to start. It's nothing to spend dozens of Gentries for an epic set of equipment.
In addition to the two recipes, there is also a treasure map - it is said that this is a treasure map outside the southern part of the kingdom, and it needs to be found at sea.
Cyril considered that he would have to go out to sea in the things he was about to participate in in the South, so he bought it.
The remaining seven things are all equipped.
In addition to the crossbow called "Longbow" that I bought at the beginning and the crystal ball, two of the remaining five pieces of equipment were soft armor worn inside. Cyril planned to distribute it to Miss Mia and Miss Misha.
The two of them usually wear long robes and don’t have much protection. Being able to have a soft armor of high quality is definitely a safe guarantee for them.
One is the wizard's handwriting: a "spray casting bracelet" of three kinds of spells was drawn, which stored a certain amount of magic power, which can be switched to and used in the "Thunderbolt Magic Arrow", "Ice Demon Ring" and "Fire Burning Body". It is estimated that a full-load of magic power can cast more than ten spells at a time.
Cyril intends to hand it over to the Romanus sisters, so that the three sisters can have some ways to deal with the crisis in addition to their own protection.
I guess the Cecilia Romanus, who was able to escape from the south to Celiki with two sisters alone, could maximize the function of this bracelet.
The remaining two pieces of equipment were used by Cyril himself.
One of them is a shield.
Since the damage to the "Cross Vulture Knight Shield", Cyril has not used a shield for a long time. At the professional level, ordinary shields can withstand very few attacks.
In addition, his fighting style is also changing - before, Cyril often relied on melee hand-to-hand combat, and relying on shield blocking to counterattack was a conventional method. Now he gradually tends to "more people to beat people less". When fighting, the Wind Knight's Spirit Knight was summoned, and then the battle situation gradually became chaotic.
But Cyril did not think that the shield equipment was unnecessary. Even if his body became hard with the blessing of the "Holy Body", the shield could still play an extremely important role in the battle.
The premise is that the shield must be strong enough.
Although this shield is not very good, the triangle shield with silver edges and blue bottom seems to have been painted on it, but due to the lack of maintenance, the pattern on it has been grinded to only a large piece of whiteness, but the sword marks on it are vivid in my mind.
What really made Cyril decide to buy it was its item description:
"[Nameless Shield]: A shield that seems to be very strong, but its glory has long been swallowed up in the long river of history. No one remembers its name, and it has been forgotten with its owner."
This description is exactly the same as the long sword in his hand!
"[Nameless Sword]: A sword that seems to be very sharp, but its light has long been swallowed up in the filth. No one remembers its name, and it has been forgotten with its owner.
It swallowed the blood of the poisonous spider, did you hear it? Its throbbing sound?"
The copywriting of "The Unknown Sword" has changed once. After absorbing the venom of the poisonous giant spider, the following line appeared, which corresponds to the poison that is now on the sword, which can even damage the soul of the dead.
Before that, its copywriting was as bare as this shield-
Although there must be something serious about the copywriting planning of [The Road of Huiyao], I like to write a large number of riddles that are of no use, and I can guess it.
But it is undeniable that when the copywriting of the two riddles looks almost exactly similar, these two pieces of equipment have a certain connection.
It is no matter how normal it is to form a set of swords and shields.
The last piece of equipment cost Cyril the most money-
It was a blank "ball of memory".
From the outside, the ball of memory is a pure white ball about the size of Caroline's head. If you look closer, you will see a human "lotion" like milk flowing slowly inside.
However, this is a mysterious equipment produced by a wizard, and it is also one of the best props you can buy in the alchemy workshop in the game.
It can record a spell.
No matter how many spells are, as long as you can write a complete spell model and fill it in, you can inspire it through magic - the same nature as the bracelet he intends to give to the Romanus sisters, but undoubtedly more powerful.
If he could use this spell to release a spell of seven rings and eight rings, or that level spell in time, he would probably be able to reverse the gap between the disadvantages of tens of thousands of people in an instant.
Although they must have very exaggerated requirements for the amount of magic, but Cyril doesn't have many other things, and Gentry and Magic Crystal are not short of them now.
In addition to equipment, he also purchased several pieces of information about the South, mainly related to the slave trade.
"The slave trade occupies the majority of the annual income of the 'Beijing League', and is the most profitable and the fastest trade in the 'Beijing League."
"The most popular orc slave trade in recent years, the entire trade route is 'West of the Kingdom' - 'Neonway Port' - 'South of the Kingdom', and it is resold to various places in southern ports."
"However, in recent times, the sudden prevalence of pirates in the southern waters broke the 'thigh' of the Northern League. Seven times of the ten-time slave ships were robbed by pirates."
"In addition, there is a problem with the source of slave goods in the west of the Kingdom. Now the transit merchants in New Orway Port and buyers from all over the country are very dissatisfied with the Northern League."
Orcs…slave trade…
Recalling the cat girl Tiffany was picked up by Miss Mia, Cyril vaguely had some clues.
Cyril didn't know how this matter was solved in history, and perhaps it had not been completely resolved. It was just that Solkonan and the Northern League reached a relatively "ambiguous" balance.
And in this life, perhaps part of this task will fall on his shoulders.
Returning to the tavern from the alchemy workshop, in addition to intelligence and equipment, there was another person around him—
The astrologer who fell into a coma after taking a look at the crystal ball.
The Curse Props Crystal Ball did not help Cyril determine the level of this astrologist, but at least it means that the other party must have real skills - if it is a fake astrologist, he would not even be qualified to trigger the backlash of the Curse Props Crystal Ball.
Astrologists are not the main profession due to their lack of combat power. They are not "deputy positions" open to players in the game - don't think that astrologists can cause meteors to fall, which can often turn the world upside down.
In [The Road of Glory], they are just a group of "schemingists" who look up at the stars and try to figure out the thoughts of the gods and use them to plan a correct path.
They worked hard on this, not to mention whether they had the energy to practice other professions, they might even die suddenly because they angered the stars at any time.
Or like Carnegie Antonio, he burned himself with blood sacrifice and divination, indicating his future and died.
In a sense, this profession is even quite tragic.
But astrologists are a must-have. When everyone is confused, they only have the opportunity to find the right path from the confusion of the stars.
