Chapter 100: The Magic Box
In the basement workshop of St. Amanda's School, Dorothy sat in her seat in shock, her expression dull, her eyes fixed, motionless, as if she had turned into a stone statue. At this moment, she felt that her young mind had received the ruthless shock of reality.
After being stunned for a long time, her brain circuits finally started to work again, and the first thought that popped into her mind was a complaint.
"Fuck, this old guy won't even bargain a little bit?"
Dorothy thought so. The price she offered was the result of her careful consideration for a long time. From her point of view, it was definitely an exorbitant price.
This is a ton biography! The price of a ton biography varies from 400 pounds, and the total value of the books is almost more than 2,000 pounds! If you buy a house in Igwinter, you can live a wealthy life purely by collecting rent! And the extraordinary props stored in the space... Could it be that such extraordinary props are not rare in the secret world?
Dorothy thought so in her heart. The price she asked just now was much higher than what she had originally expected, in order to expand the bargaining space. In fact, the bottom price in Dorothy's mind was only two tons of left-handed books.
Having left room for bargaining and set a psychological bottom price, Dorothy was ready to bargain with Oddrich for more than a dozen rounds. But who would have known that Oddrich would sell the deal at what she thought was a super high premium. This instantly made Dorothy feel like she had lost hundreds of millions.
Dorothy felt that she was opening the mouth of a lion, but to others it seemed that she was opening the mouth of a kitten.
"Ahh... I feel so cheated... Is this guy really that rich? I should have reported a little more if I had known..."
Dorothy cried out in her heart that she had clearly received a reward far beyond her psychological expectations, but she still felt that she had suffered a loss.
The human heart is amazing, isn’t it?
"What's wrong? Miss Meshhos, we were able to reach a consensus and complete this deal so quickly. Shouldn't we be happy about this?"
Looking at Dorothy who was somewhat stunned, Odditch spoke calmly. Listening to Odditch's words, Dorothy's expression went through a series of complex changes, and finally she sighed with a long sigh.
"Hmm... OK, the deal is done. Could you please show me what you want?" Dorothy said this. After thinking for a while, she gave up the idea of going back on her word and raising the price at the last minute, which was a behavior that disrespected the contract. Seeing Dorothy's response, Odd smiled slightly as if praising her.
"Haha, as you wish, Miss Meshhos."
As he spoke, Odditch stood up and walked into the room next to his studio. After a while, he slowly came back with a few things in his hands and finally put them in front of Dorothy.
The Heb contained two old books and a palm-sized copper box. The copper box was round in shape and decorated with various jewels and carvings, which looked quite valuable.
"This is a 'magic box'. Only high-level 'stone' craftsmen can make it. Inside is a special compressed space that can hold many items. High-level people on several branches of the 'stone' path have the ability to make 'magic boxes'. The most advanced 'magic boxes' can build a city."
Looking at the small copper box on the table, Odeqi continued to explain.
"This magic box is a basic model. It has a space of 7x7x7, a total of 343 cubic meters. I think this is enough for you. The method of use is to open the lid and put things in. You can adjust the size of the exit by adjusting the yellow gem on it."
As he spoke, Odditch began to demonstrate. He opened the lid of the copper box, and what Dorothy saw was not the bottom of the box but a dark hole. Then Odditch twisted the yellow gem on the lid, and the hole began to expand. After it exceeded the size of the box itself, the edge of the hole was surrounded by an orange-yellow halo to constrain the hole.
"Be careful, most magic boxes are made for storage, and this one is no exception, so it's best not to put intelligent creatures in it, as the environment inside will seriously damage their intelligence. Also, don't let the space inside be severely impacted, otherwise the magic box will be damaged and collapse, vomiting out everything inside in one breath."
After the introduction, Odditch returned the opening of the magic box to its original position, then closed the lid and looked at Dorothy, waiting for any questions.
"Magic Box? You said that many Beyonders of the Stone level can make Magic Boxes, which means that this is not rare in the Secret World?" Dorothy asked this question, and Oddchi immediately took out the Magic Box for trading. Dorothy thought that maybe this thing was very common and not worth much at all?
"Hehe... not rare? Miss Meshhos, I mean that only high-level Beyonders of the Stone can make magic boxes. The rarity of high-level Beyonders may be beyond your imagination. There are even fewer high-level Beyonders of the Stone. I can say that there are only a few Beyonders in this world who can make magic boxes, and the success rate of making magic boxes is not high. The one in your hand is enough for two people to fight."
"ha?"
Listening to Odditch's words, Dorothy was a little stunned for a moment. She couldn't tell whether what he just said was true or Odditch was bragging.
If this is true, wouldn't I have made a fortune? This is something that can make two people fight, and I got it with just one piece of information?
For Odeqi, is this thing not valuable enough, or is the information too valuable?
Or maybe he was just bragging.
"Well... Miss Meshhos, now that everything is here, it's time to tell me your intelligence."
Sitting back in the chair, Odchi spoke to Dorothy, and Dorothy, after sorting out her thoughts, began to tell Odchi about the two black levels.
In Dorothy's description, she briefly said that when she was protecting the victims of the Holy Communion, she tracked down two strange black-level beings from outside. They worked for a master called Deer Skull and were ordered to find a "Stone" Beyonder for Igwynte. Now they have located St. Amanda's School and may take action soon.
After hearing what Dorothy said, Odmich was silent for a while. He drank tea and thought about something. There was a trace of solemnity between his furrowed brows. Dorothy could see that Odmich really attached great importance to the information about the deer skull.
"Finally, is it coming?"
With a slow sigh, Odditch said, then he looked at Dorothy and spoke again.
"Thank you, Miss Meshhos. The information you brought is very useful to me. It allows me to prepare in advance."
"Do you have an enemy coming? And a very powerful enemy? Do you plan to evacuate?" Dorothy responded while looking at Oddeqi in front of her. She had already guessed what was going on. It was obvious that Oddeqi had an enemy coming to seek revenge.
"Evacuate? Haha... For Stone, abandoning the position is the most foolish thing to do. It is tantamount to self-destruction." Odki snorted coldly, and Dorothy continued.
"So, you plan to stay and fight head-on? How confident are you?"
"How much? In my current state, even if I am fully prepared, it might be about 40%..." As he spoke, Oddfinch stared at Dorothy and continued.
"But if you, Miss Meshhos, can stand on my side, I think the chances of winning will be a success. So, Miss Meshhos, are you willing to make another deal with me?
"The reward is, a favor from me."
