Triss introduced: "Most of these are what I found in the ruins. I don't usually use them, so I just collect them and don't give them any names."

Lann joked: "If these magic items were given names, maybe they could be sold at a better price."

Triss chuckled and said, "If it doesn't sell this time, I'll consider it next time."

After some interruptions, the conversation got down to business and Triss began to introduce the items on the table to Lan one by one.

She pointed at the badge and said, "It can attract attention. When you wear it on your body, the enemy will involuntarily attack the badge - and the body underneath it. But this effect will only occur when you wear it around your neck or pin it on your chest. I guess it was used by a warlock on slave cannon fodder or monsters."

Next is the statue: "It is a switch of a relic mechanism, and it has no function by itself. But it still contains considerable magic power. Mossak said you might be interested, so I brought it with me."

Then there is the crystal bird skull: "Looking out of the eyes of this crystal skull can see through certain magical illusions - only to a certain extent, if it is too advanced, it will be useless."

Finally, there is the glowing pearl: "There is nothing much to say about this one. It glows. It glows even brighter underwater. Do you want to see it?"

Lan thought for a moment and asked, "Can I touch it?"

"certainly."

Lann touched them one by one, first the badge, but there was no response.

Then came the statue. The moment his hand touched the statue, the system's prompt sounded:

【Discover the source of magic】.

good!

However, this is the only source of magic power. The remaining crystal bird skulls and pearls did not react.

Seeing that Lann was only looking at these magic items in an amateurish manner, Triss kindly said, "Would you like to try them all? This badge can only be used in battle."

Lann shook his head. "No, I believe you. These magic items can play different roles in battle and in life. Even if they are just for collection, they are good. I want them all. Triss, what price do you want to sell them for?"

Although only the statue can be used as a source of magic power, the remaining three magic items also have unique effects. Especially the taunt badge and the crystal bird skull, Lann can now think of many ways to use them, so it is a good idea to prepare them.

Triss was very pleased with Lann's trust, and explained to Lann's subsequent inquiry: "Generally speaking, we use magic items to barter, but I heard that this is your first time to purchase magic items, so this method probably can't be implemented. So-"

Triss reported a number that she thought was not small.

Lann immediately agreed: "No problem."

Mossak opened his mouth to try to persuade him, thinking that Lan was being too extravagant.

"But..." Lann continued, "I don't think most warlocks would sell their collections. I wonder if Ms. Triss has any new research projects recently? It just so happens that my aunt has opened up Cintra's collection of magic materials to me. If you are interested, you can choose from it."

Triss's eyes lit up. For a warlock, this was much more attractive than money.

Mossak had not expected this situation, and asked in astonishment: "When did Queen Calanthe open these resources to you?"

Lane replied, "Recently."

Mossak remained silent, as the royal family had a quota for the offerings they gave him.

"Thank you very much." Triss lifted her skirt and bowed.

Everyone is satisfied with this situation.

At this moment, looking at Triss, Lan, who was preparing to go to Toussaint recently, suddenly had an idea.

"I don't know, Ms. Triss, are you free recently?"

Triss was slightly surprised: "Huh?"

"It's like this." Lann explained, "I'm currently planning to go to Toussaint to explore the remains of a professor's magic laboratory. I think you've heard of his name: Thomas Moreau."

Triss nodded. "Professor Moreau was active before I became a warlock, but he is well-known for his research on demon hunters. Many warlocks who are obsessed with demon hunter research speak highly of him."

Lan nodded and continued, "To be honest, I have already obtained the help of a demon hunter. As for exploring the remains of the magic laboratory, I think it would be more foolproof if a warlock participated.

As a reward: you can copy a copy of the experimental notes obtained from the ruins; if you need any magical items in them, I can also give them as a thank you gift. "

Exploring the magic laboratories of fellow warlocks is also very attractive. Triss was indeed tempted, but after some thought she refused.

"This is indeed very attractive. After all, it is Professor Moreau's laboratory." Triss exclaimed, "But I'm sorry, Lan, the Warlock Brotherhood is calling us for a meeting recently, so it may be difficult for me to participate in your exploration."

Lan was a little disappointed after hearing this, but there was nothing he could do.

"Come to think of it, this rally is also related to Cintra."

Triss said suddenly, and Lann and Mossak's expressions turned curious.

"The Brotherhood of Warlocks is actually paying close attention to Nilfgaard's invasion of the Northern Kingdom, and the royal advisors of each kingdom are communicating with each other frequently. Some warlocks, led by Lady Tissaia, believe that we should help Cintra resist Nilfgaard. They feel that Nilfgaard's ambitions for the North go beyond this.

But another group of sorcerers didn't care about this. As you know, Cintra has always rejected sorcerers, so some sorcerers are unwilling to help Cintra. And they don't think Nilfgaard can really do anything to the North. "

Lann frowned and said, "Can we contact those warlocks who are willing to help Cintra? Maybe I can try to persuade my aunt to reward them generously and show respect. Cintra will not reject any friend who is willing to help us."

You can't. Mossak sighed inwardly at Lan's words, but didn't say it out loud. He knew Calanthe better than anyone.

Triss also shook her head. "Unfortunately, the Warlock Brotherhood is united, especially when it comes to large-scale political issues like this. Warlocks are not allowed to act alone until a result is reached that all members agree on."

Seeing Lann's slightly disappointed expression, Triss comforted him, "Don't worry. Although this gathering is about Cintra, everyone believes that Nilfgaard will not cause much harm to Cintra. The real issue is the attitude of the entire North towards Nilfgaard."
