The Truth of Magic Chapter 401



401 The way

Zhao Xu didn’t go straight to the wizard Association in Zhenyu city. Instead, he used his memory to go to a magic material store nearby.

“why is it called the black market?” Vivian still found it hard to understand.

“Because it can’t be exposed to the sun. I can’t even tell where the magic items came from.”

“Stealing? Scamming?” As a Paladin, Vivian could not help but feel uncomfortable when she heard this behavior.

“Both, but most of them were dug out from underground.” zhao xu looked at vivian with narrowed eyes.

Vivian could not help but stop.

Just like Zhao Xu, she turned her head around and looked around at her surroundings. Her eyes behind the veil were like autumn water.

“Tomb raiding and historical remains?”

As she spoke, Vivian nodded to herself. the northern Alliance is close to the ice fields. I remember that there was a wizard Alliance that had been established for more than 500 years, but it was destroyed during the catastrophe.

Zhao Xu didn’t think that Vivian would have such a good grasp of Arthur’s geography.

He had relied on his knowledge (location) and knowledge (history) to guess and retrieve this information. By connecting the entire network, he had deduced one of the main reasons for the black market’s appearance.

It was reasonable to say that succubi were generally proficient in one knowledge skill and could reach the level of more than ten. They would not practice many knowledge skills like mages.

In fact, it was also rare for someone to learn almost everything like Zhao Xu.

The good thing was that now that Zhao Xu’s intelligence had reached 28 points, he would get at least 9 points of intelligence when he leveled up in the future. That would be enough to level up all his knowledge and skills together.

“Let’s go,” he said.

by this time, zhao xu had already walked over to a material store that had a clock flag hanging at the entrance. the entrance of the store was in tatters, and it looked like it hadn’t been repaired in many years.

“This kind of shop has magic items?” Vivian was in disbelief.

this is a magic item worth tens of thousands of dollars. It definitely wouldn’t be placed here. Zhao Xu laughed.

“We have to go in first to prove that you’re the buyer. Only then will they take us to those underground houses.”

then the chess piece of the mechanical clock means that this shop is the entrance? ” Vivian was a little confused.

no, this means that the other party is selling antiques and works of art. These things are often sold together with magic items that can last for many eras. Basically, they are sold through the same channel. Zhao Xu explained.

“an antique?”

As a person with endless life, Vivian found it difficult to understand the term ” antique. for them, any stone or coin could be stored for thousands of years without a problem.

In particular, a devil might have dealt with a family that spanned seven or eight generations from the beginning to the end, and could even collect the souls of each generation of the family.

“You can understand antiques as art pieces from the past. As for your stone brooms that haven’t been broken even after thousands of years, they’re called old goods. They’re different.” Zhao Xu quickly corrected him.

As he spoke, he opened the curtain and walked into the material store.

It was different from the small shop that Zhao Xu had seen from the outside. After he entered, he saw that there were rows and rows of glass bottles on the cabinet that touched the sky, and there were all kinds of spellcasting materials in them.

Because Zhao Xu had the full form, he wasn’t unfamiliar with most of them.

On the other side of the cabinet, there were many old and strange items. There were ancient longswords that looked like the swords of nobles, and there were also damaged shields. At the same time, there were also some magical artifacts, accessories, bottles, and all kinds of small samples.

Sitting behind the counter was an old man wearing a fur hat. His face was thin and his body was hunched as he leaned against the chair.

“What are you buying?”

“Let’s look at the old man.” Zhao Xu replied in secret.

“How many of those can you get?”

“Breaking a hundred won’t be a problem.”

The old man’s eyes brightened. how about you point at the goods on my cabinet and pick one? ”

Zhao Xu wasn’t too far away from the cabinet, but he stopped in his tracks and kept scanning the items on the cabinet.

“No? what quantifier is it?” Vivian asked.

“They’re afraid that outsiders like you will interrupt us when we’re discussing the price. It doesn’t have a fixed price. According to the price of the magic item, it can be 10000 gold coins or even 1 gold coin.”

“The” one “in my sentence just now was referring to 100 gold coins.”

Vivian nodded this time. Zhao Xu had said that he could break a hundred, which meant that he had brought over ten thousand this time. He was also giving the old man a clear direction to go to later.

Zhao Xu slowly got closer to the shelves and carefully observed the ” goods ” on them, but he didn’t reach out his hand.

In fact, he could now cast the minute-level level Level 3 spell ” arcane vision. this spell could make him emit a detection radar at all times like ” detection magic. at the same time, the range was even wider, reaching dozens of meters.

However, because the spell could be dispelled, he could not last long.

However, when he reached Level 7, the level 2 ability of the Rune Guardian, which had the same name as ‘arcane vision’, would not be a big problem.

“What is the meaning of this old man?” vivian asked curiously.

“to prove our ability. If we buy something from him, it will be the price for him to guarantee our entry into the black market. Otherwise, how could foreigners like us enter so easily?”

zhao xu had made a special trip to the black market before he became the vice president of the fallen star town’s wizard association. he was afraid that if he delayed it any longer, his actions would attract too much attention, and people might pay attention to him and raise the price or even miss out on him.

“so we have to pick something that doesn’t look expensive and doesn’t look like we’ll lose much?” Vivian immediately reacted.

“Yes, we still have to pick the real ones.” Zhao Xu said.

“if we pick the wrong ones, it means we’re newbies who don’t know anything about the game. This way, regardless of whether we’re right or wrong, we’ll bring him there. It’s just that he’ll be going to a black-market shop that specializes in selling fake goods and slaughtering those who look wrong.” Zhao Xu still had some lingering fear in his heart as he spoke.

He had suffered such a loss in his previous life.

fortunately, in this life, he could just flip the chessboard. But unless he had no other choice, Zhao Xu wouldn’t do something that would lower his status.

If one’s skills were inferior, then one could only admit defeat.

When she saw Zhao Xu’s full attention as he walked up to the price and looked at it carefully, even Vivian, who didn’t have any appraisal skills, couldn’t do anything about it.

“You might as well let me talk to him,” she could not help but say through telepathy.

Vivian, who was born with high charm, was only at level 12 in negotiation. What was really amazing was her level 19 intimidation and intimidation skills.

“If everything goes according to the rules, you won’t be at a disadvantage if there are no rules,” Zhao Xu said.

At this moment, Vivian, who was in the ” Lawful Good ” camp, looked at Zhao Xu, who was in the ” Neutral Good ” camp. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like she was the more orderly side.

Although she was a chaotic and evil little succubus before.

Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment, then pointed at a book on the lower right corner. how much for this? ”

The old man immediately laughed, and he almost choked on his pipe. After a while, he said, ” it’s a very old arcane tome, worth 100 gold coins.

“let me see?” Zhao Xu said.

At this moment, he was clearly standing in front of the cabinet, but he was unmoved.

The old man’s eyes suddenly lit up. He reached out with his walking stick and walked over step by step.

Throughout the entire process, his rhythm was very slow, as if he was burning the patience of the two.

But Zhao Xu continued to wait until the man picked up the magic book and placed it on top of a red wooden box covered with silk.

Only then did Zhao Xu pick up the book.

“Afraid of something happening?” Vivian was starting to understand what Zhao Xu’s actions meant.

of course. If I pick it up and the whole book falls apart, who’s to blame? including those jades. Not to mention, I didn’t even know the price just now.

Zhao Xu said.

In this line of work, sometimes it was a lifetime deal, and sometimes it was a one-time deal.

In his previous life, he had helped Zhang Qi to fool a fake with egg white.

“You humans are too complicated.” Vivian commented. She could not help but touch her waist, but it was empty. Then she realized that her Holy Avenger and Mithril acceleration armor had been put back into the dimensional bag.

Zhao Xu patiently flipped through a few pages. His level 9 Spellcraft had been maxed out, and with the level 9 bonus from his intelligence, he now had a total of level 18 Spellcraft. He could be considered to be quite good at this.

current player first.

In an instant, he saw something strange in this magic book that he had randomly picked up.

“I can only read 70 books at most.” Zhao Xu gave his price.

Needless to say, the “one” he meant was one gold coin.

“Guild Master, aren’t you going to cut it?” Vivian found it hard to understand. In the abyss, a 10% discount was the most basic courtesy.

here, if you haggle more than half the price, it means that you think the other party is trying to rip you off on purpose. The next second, he will drive you away. Zhao Xu said angrily.

In the eyes of professionals like them, the market price of magic items and magic books was estimated to be less than 10% off.

“Then what book is this?” Vivian struggled to read the mysterious text on the cover.
