Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Along with the sharp sound of the arc bouncing in the air, the energy storage device quickly absorbed a large amount of electrical energy.
This simple and crude charging method almost choked Zuo Si who was drinking tea.
Good boy! He started with the six-ring magic [Chain Lightning].
If calculated based on the spellcasting level, the businesswoman is at least a powerful warlock of level 12.
No wonder he can thrive in a place like Port Calin.
What’s more, warlocks have an advantage over mages in that they rely on the power of their bloodline to cast spells.
No preparation or study is required.
And the number of spells cast every day is far greater than that of mages.
The only downside is that the number of spells to master is very small, and it's not like "playing the game" at all, with a list of spells to choose from.
What spells you can learn is completely random, or it may depend on your bloodline talent.
After releasing three incredibly powerful [Chain Lightning] in one breath, Elsa walked closer to check the status of the energy storage devices one by one.
When she found the silver electric light flashing inside the cylindrical crystal, she nodded with satisfaction: "Excellent! Perfect quality! It seems that you really have talents and skills in alchemy and magic making that others cannot match. Maybe we can join hands to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, so that we can quickly make countless huge wealth."
"Long-term partnership? Sorry, I don't plan to stay in Calimport for too long."
Zuo Si shook his head and rejected the tempting proposal without hesitation.
On the one hand, he had no good feelings towards Calimport, a huge city full of conspiracy, betrayal and chaos, and he didn't want to settle down here for a long time.
Because personal and property safety cannot be guaranteed at all.
On the other hand, although there are a large number of spellcasters in Kalin Port, there is no unified organization to manage them.
Most spellcasters have their own small circles, and occasionally get together to exchange knowledge and experiences, and basically do not accept outsiders to join.
You know, even Amn, which is extremely averse to magical power, has a Masked Wizard Guild organization.
Not to mention Candlekeep, the largest library in Sword Coast, which preserves a large number of books, as well as Waterdeep and Silvermoon, which are home to many high-level wizards, legendary wizards, and the Chosen of the Goddess of Magic.
Therefore, Port Calin has never been a suitable place for studying or researching. Instead, it is more like a paradise for speculators and ambitious people.
But Aisha spread her hands indifferently: "Don't plan to settle down in Kalin Port? It doesn't matter.
Distance has never been an obstacle to cooperation.
Especially since you and I are both spellcasters with arcane powers.
I have enough patience to wait for you to settle down somewhere and then trade with you through teleportation magic.
After all, there are not many magic item makers in this world who have unique skills and craftsmanship like you."
“It is truly an honor for me to be valued by a magic item merchant like you.
If you don't mind, could I use your alchemy lab for a bit later? I'd like to do some research on lycanthropy."
Zuo Si took the opportunity to make a request.
Since he had obtained a lot of blood from ratmen and werewolves, he was eager to find out what exactly was causing this disease that could turn people into beasts.
Is it possible to achieve relief and healing through spells, potions, and wearing magical items…
"Beastiality?!"
Elsa was stunned for a moment, then asked in a tone that was not suitable for understanding: "Why are you interested in this? As far as I know, only those druids who advocate the balance of nature would want to control and cure lycanthropy."
Zuo Si smiled and replied, "I recently took in a group of werewolves that escaped from the sewers. I wanted to try to see if I could solve the problem of them going berserk on full-moon nights. Do you have any better suggestions in this regard?"
"I do know a druid shapeshifter. He is very knowledgeable about lycanthropy and werewolves. But you should know that knowledge is never priceless."
As a warlock with giant blood, she is not as afraid and repulsive of werewolves as the ordinary residents of Calimport.
It is even known that if one is bitten by a lycanthropy patient, one can avoid infection by taking belladonna within a certain period of time.
In fact, in a place like Port Calin, let alone accepting a few werewolves as servants or slaves, in the "special service places" run by some spellcasters, you can occasionally see the figures of enslaved and controlled "shapeshifters".
Because the "shapeshifter" can change into anyone's appearance, it can satisfy the unknown dirty psychology and dark desires of some rich people.
Just imagine, when a queen, princess, or a magic goddess elect with great power like the "Seven Sisters of the North" appears in a dim room wearing sexy and revealing clothes, how much excitement it will bring to consumers?
How much extra is the latter willing to pay for this value-added service?
“How much does it cost to get this knowledge?”
Zuo Si showed his readiness to be slaughtered.
"I think 3,000 gold coins is a reasonable price, what do you think?"
After a little thought, the businesswoman offered a price that she thought was very profitable.
According to her estimation, she only needed to spend about 1,000 gold coins at most to buy knowledge about werewolves and lycanthropy from the druid shapeshifter.
The remaining 2,000 gold coins difference is basically net profit.
"Can!"
Zuo Si agreed directly without trying to bargain.
After all, the free money I got before has far exceeded this value by many times, so there is no need to haggle over such a "small amount of money".
In particular, the extra 2,000 general magic points drawn from the Mage Tower's energy reserve allowed him to raise his mage career level from LV2 to LV3.
Not only is he eligible to begin reaching deeper into the magic web, but he also gains two additional second-level spell slots.
At this rate, it won't take long before I can achieve my wish of upgrading my mage level to LV5.
Of course, having enough spellcasting levels and spell slots is one thing, but learning and mastering complex magic is another.
Things like spells themselves and various spellcasting techniques and expertise all require time and effort to learn and understand bit by bit.
"Deal! It's settled then.
It just so happened that this druid shapeshifter was among the first batch of orders.
I'm going to deliver the goods now, you just stay and wait for a while.
If you want something to eat or drink, or want to use the workshop or alchemical equipment, just tell the golem directly.
As for the materials that might be used...
You can buy on credit first and deduct it from your share later.”
After that, Elsa stuffed all six energy storage devices into a cloth bag, and then cast at least five rings of teleportation magic on the spot, disappearing without a trace.
Apparently, not all of her clients live in Port Calim.
Some may even live in forests, mountains, or other towns tens or even hundreds of kilometers away.
Zuo Si sat in the lobby on the first floor and leisurely drank two cups of mint tea. After relaxing for a while, he dived into the room where the alchemical equipment was placed.
After spending some time to figure out the differences and functions of the alchemical equipment in the two worlds, he quickly took out the blood of ratmen and werewolves and started experiments.
With his rich experience in studying necromancy, curses, and plagues, Zuo Si soon found something unusual in the blood...
