Zuo Si smiled slightly and nodded without hesitation: "That's right! If you feel confident, then please make an offer. After you buy it, whether you smash it open or use various magic to explore it is your personal freedom."
Obviously, the reason why he is so fearless is because of the special abilities granted by the profession of creator.
Without [refining] and [shaping], even if outsiders understand the materials and the magic used in manufacturing, they will not be able to replicate a real energy storage device.
What's more, this thing also uses some technical design concepts similar to modern batteries, and it was fortunately manufactured after more than 300 failed experiments.
Want to crack?
First, let’s understand the dozens of composite materials and compounds that can only be manufactured by modern industry, as well as the original rune arrangement!
You know, even the great necromancer Asta took it away and studied it for more than a week, but he was ultimately unable to crack the mystery.
Of course, there are reasons why he is not particularly interested in this.
After all, for a powerful spellcaster who is obsessed with necromancy and the pursuit of immortality, a mere enhanced version of the [Lightning Wand] is not worth wasting too much time and energy on.
If you spend that much time on it, you might as well create a few more flesh golems or other high-level undead creatures.
"Very good! Since you are so confident, I will give it a try.
The price of general magic storage items is usually calculated by multiplying the base price by the spell level and then by the maker's spellcasting level.
Since this is your unique skill, I will give you an extra 5,000 gold coins of knowledge value.
Now tell me your spellcasting level."
The woman was obviously very confident in her knowledge of magic item making and didn't think that this interesting little gadget would be difficult for her.
The pride and strong self-confidence that were about to burst out also proved from a certain perspective that her character was definitely influenced by her other half of non-human bloodline.
"My spellcasting level is level five."
Zuo Si had no intention of wasting time on words and directly reported the rank of his creator.
The woman looked down at the gem in her hand and asked, "Are you a wizard?"
She did not show any surprise or surprise that the boy in front of her, who looked less than ten years old, had five spellcasting levels.
Because in the circle of spellcasters, appearance cannot be used as a basis for judging true age.
Not to mention making yourself younger, even changing your gender or even your race is possible.
Some foolish apprentices, when studying the magic of transformation, might even turn themselves into small animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs due to a lack of caution.
"Sorry, it's a secret. All I can tell you is that I'm an arcane spellcaster."
Zuo Si gave a very cautious and vague answer.
He was not a fool and could see that the gem in the other person's hand was most likely a magical item that could tell whether other people were lying.
If you answer too directly, others can infer a lot of useful information from it.
Seeing that Zuo Si began to become alert, the woman did not continue to inquire further, but put away the gem and said bluntly: "The basic price of a magic storage wand is 750 gold coins.
This interesting device of yours can absorb and store third-level [Lightning Magic], so it will be calculated as third-level magic.
Finally multiply by the caster level.
The total is..."
"etc!"
Before the other party finished calculating, Zuo Si immediately interrupted.
“My energy storage device is not a magic wand.
Not only can it absorb the third-ring [Lightning Magic], it can also absorb the sixth-ring [Chain Lightning] and even the blue dragon's lightning breath.
And it won't break down like a magic wand after the last shot is used up.
It is a magic storage device that can be recycled repeatedly and can also be used to defend against lightning-type magic attacks.
So there is something wrong with the base price you gave.”
"Then how much do you think it should be?" the woman asked expressionlessly.
Obviously, she also understood that she was deliberately lowering the price by calculating the energy storage device as if it were a magic wand.
Now that it has been exposed, we will be forced to enter into the bargaining phase.
After a little thought, Zuo Si directly doubled the original base price.
But this exorbitant price immediately attracted the woman's ridicule: "1,500 gold coins?
Do you have some misunderstanding about magic item pricing, or are you just a newbie?
At this price, you can buy a third-level spell wand with 50 rounds.
And your device is now completely empty.
The most I can offer is 1,200.”
"1200?"
Zuo Si quickly calculated in his mind the amount of money he would eventually get and nodded immediately.
"make a deal!"
"1200 times 5 times 3, and finally add 5000, a total of 23000 gold coins. Minus the 1647 you owed me, I should pay you 21353 gold coins."
The woman obviously had very good mental arithmetic skills, and she figured out the accounts between the two of them in the blink of an eye.
Just as she was about to open the cloth bag that looked like a [Dimensional Bag] to take out the money, Zuo Si suddenly pointed at the spell book blind box and said, "I want to try my luck."
"Oh? Do you also want to experience the fickleness of fate? No problem! Please take your pick.
Remember, no spells can be opened or cast for identification.
Its value can only be judged by appearance.”
After saying this, a hint of amusement flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she made a gesture of invitation, as if she was expecting to see some interesting scenes.
Zuo Si noticed the shopkeeper's look of evil amusement and immediately realized that most of the magic recorded in these spell books were probably not worth 5,000 gold coins.
But he did not show any nervousness. He calmly picked up one spell book after another, which were made of different materials, colors and decorative styles, examined them carefully, and then put them back one by one.
The selection process lasted a full twenty minutes.
Finally, he selected two from dozens of spell books.
One of them looked very plain. Except for the pale yellow cover which was still intact, everything else was tattered.
Some pages even have jagged edges.
As for the other book, it was completely the opposite. The cover was densely inlaid with gems, and the edges of the cover were even inlaid with gold and silver edges.
"Are you sure these are the two books? You must know that after you choose, no matter how many spells are recorded in them after you open them, you cannot regret it." The woman reminded meaningfully.
Through this kind of well-intentioned reminder, she was able to release an invisible pressure on the person choosing the spellbook, thereby affecting his or her initial judgment.
But Zuo Si was not affected at all, and responded straightforwardly: "I know. Can I open them now?"
"Of course! It's your freedom. In addition, I will deduct 10,000 gold coins from the payment."
Seeing that the "little guy" in front of her was not affected by her, the woman was obviously a little disappointed.
But soon, this disappointment turned into shock and disbelief.
After opening the two spell books selected by Zuo Si, the female owner did a simple spell identification and found that the tattered one actually contained more than forty spells.
Although most of them are low-level magic of the first and second rings.
But there are also five third-level spells and two fourth-level spells.
There is no doubt that the value of this spell book is definitely more than 5,000 gold coins.
Although the other book records fewer spells, it does have a fifth-ring [Teleportation].
As a shrewd businessman, the woman knew very well how difficult it was to pick out a spell book worth more than 5,000 gold coins from these "junks".
Moreover, some spell books have been placed here for many years, and even she herself can't quite remember what spells are recorded in them.
But today, someone actually picked out two books at once.
It almost made her wonder if the other person had been kissed and blessed by the goddess of luck, Tymora.
