Chapter 620: Sea Clan? (Two in One)
Lachi described the advantages of the academy elders in detail, his eyes filled with infinite yearning.
In fact, apart from anything else, just the fact that the City of Hope has a population of millions is already an incredible power, and even Gervis was tempted when he heard it.
Of course, although he was tempted, Gervis didn't have the courage to step forward because he wasn't strong enough. He was afraid that he would get it but not live to spend it!
Besides, he is already a king. As long as his strength improves, wouldn’t it be much better to lead the rise of tens of millions of people in Eurasia in the future?
"I really envy this person. I wish I had such ability!"
While Gervis was thinking, Lach ended with a sour remark.
"What's there to be envious of? After this news is announced, that person will probably become the target of public criticism!"
Gervis rolled his eyes. Laci only saw the immediate benefits but did not think about the dangers in the future.
If I really want to be in the open, I must publish the formula of this potion and give it directly to the college.
Otherwise, both the forces of the Holy City and the alien races of the Holy Continent will target him in the future.
"That's true. I heard that after the academy announced the news, the number of people wandering outside the academy increased several times. Moreover, no less than dozens of flying beasts have flown out of the sky above the City of Hope today. I believe that in a few days, the entire Holy Alliance will get the news."
Hearing Gervis's criticism, Laci was slightly embarrassed, but he also deeply agreed with Gervis' words.
"Laqi, are you here today just to tell me this news?"
Gervis didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. The more he talked about it, the more his head hurt.
Now, not only is he unable to make a fortune by preparing magic potions, but he also has to bear the hidden dangers brought about by this turmoil. He feels extremely depressed.
"Oh, I've been talking for so long but I've forgotten the important matter!"
After hearing Gervis' question, Lach slapped his head and remembered his business.
"Harry, Adela's birthday is in a few days, so I want you to accompany me to pick out a gift. After all, you are a wizard, and you may know what kind of gifts wizards like!"
"Laki, I really can't give you any advice on this!"
Not to mention that Gervis has no research in this area, even if he did, it would be of no use.
Adela is a rich lady, she has everything she needs, so no matter how you choose, they are all the same, it all depends on the person.
If Adela likes someone, even if that person just gives her an ordinary necklace worth a hundred gold coins, it will make Adela very happy.
In a situation like Lachi's, it might be necessary to give away some legendary equipment or epic equipment, so that Adela might remember it.
Of course, just keep this favor in mind and don't think about it anymore.
Gervis couldn't tell Laci directly, so he wanted to refuse tactfully.
"No! Harry, just accompany me to take a look. After all, you are a wizard and know more than me!"
"Okay, but I won't be able to give you any advice at that time, so don't blame me, Lachi!"
Gervis finally nodded. He had been staying in the dormitory for a week, so he decided to go out for some fresh air. After all, he was going outside the college.
…
Soon, Gervis and Lach arrived outside the academy. In order to facilitate their journey, they did not take a carriage, but rode the war horses brought by Lach.
When riding on the warhorse, Gervis suddenly remembered that the weapons and armor he had forged for the skeleton soldiers and nightmares in the outer city should be completed in two days, and he would be able to ride his own mount after leaving the academy.
"Let's go directly to the Holy Business Company!"
When Laci was shopping for magical equipment as a gift, his first choice was naturally the Holy Trading Company. After all, it was a gift for Adela, so the quality had to be guaranteed.
After Lach chose the destination, Gervis, Lach and several of Lach's guards rode their war horses straight to the Holy Trading Company.
As Gervis and his companions moved away from the college gate, they immediately discovered that the streets near the college were much busier than before.
"These people are probably spies from various forces!"
With Gervis's sharp eyesight, he could naturally see that there were quite a few people on the roadside with good behavior.
"These people are spies from various holy cities. The academy is aware of their existence, but they are just gathering information nearby, so the academy has ignored them."
Lachi saw Gervis looking at the pedestrians on both sides and explained it to him.
"Um!"
Gervis responded and looked away.
Although the City of Hope is prosperous, it is actually a mixed bag. The headquarters of the Holy Alliance is located here, which naturally makes it a gathering place for various forces. However, because there are dozens of strong people in the Alliance Academy of Higher Learning, no one dares to jump around in the open.
…
Because they were riding horses, Gervis and his party quickly arrived at the Sacred Trading Company.
"Take us to the second floor!"
After being led into the hall by the servant, Lachi gave him an order directly before the servant could ask any questions.
"Yes, distinguished guest."
The first floor of this sacred business sells all kinds of magical materials, while the second floor sells various finished items.
It was the first time for Gervis to come to the second floor of the Holy Trading Company. After going up to the second floor, what caught his eyes were the dazzling array of weapons and equipment and various magical instruments that were categorized into different categories.
Whether it is the weapons and armor used by titled knights, or the magic wands or other instruments used by magicians, everything is available here.
Laci was buying a gift for Adela, so naturally he came to the area that sold magic equipment.
Walking into the magic equipment area, the first thing they passed was the display counter of magician's wands. There were no less than ten wands on the counter, and each wand was extremely exquisite. Compared with them, Gervis's lowest-level magic wand was just like a fire stick.
"8888 gold coins!"
"9999 gold coins!"
“…”
"Hiss... A legendary staff! 180,000 gold coins!"
Each staff is a fine product, so the price is naturally very attractive.
Gervis started from the cheapest one which cost 8,888 gold coins. When he saw the eighth one, he almost thought his eyes were blurry. A magician's staff actually cost 180,000 gold coins!
And this legendary magic wand worth 180,000 gold coins is not the top-level one. There are two more magic wands without price tags behind it.
These two magic wands without price tags are more exquisite and gorgeous than the legendary wand worth 180,000 gold coins in every aspect. Apart from the complicated inscriptions on them, the gems inlaid on these two wands are unknown gems that Gervis has never seen before.
“Sure enough, we are still too poor!”
Gervis shook his head and quickly looked away. He felt that poverty limited his imagination, so it was better not to look!
"Harry, how about you come over and look at these accessories?"
Just as Gervis took his eyes off the magic staff, Lachi was already standing in front of a row of magic accessories, waving at Gervis.
Hearing the shout, Gervis also walked over quickly and came to the jewelry display cabinet. What caught his eye were dozens of various jewelry pendants, both for men and women.
"Harry, what do you think of this necklace?"
At this time, Laci had already taken a fancy to a piece of jewelry, which was a very thin and exquisite silver-white necklace with a sapphire blue gem on the pendant.
Although it looks like an ordinary necklace, it is indeed a magical equipment.
Gervis looked at the introduction below the necklace.
The name of this necklace is: Magic Blue Crystal Necklace.
It can speed up the absorption and recovery of the wearer's magic power.
The reason why this necklace has such magical effects all comes from the blue gemstone inlaid on the pendant.
This fingernail-sized gem is not ordinary. Its name is Magic Blue Crystal, and it is produced exclusively in the Land of God’s Fall.
This magic blue crystal can gather a certain amount of magic power around it, so as long as this magic blue crystal is inlaid on the jewelry, the magician will be able to continuously attract the surrounding magic power like a magnet when wearing it.
The larger the magic blue crystal is, the better the effect will be.
In addition, the introduction plate below the necklace also states: Space has been reserved inside the pendant for engraving an inscription.
As long as a specific inscription is engraved on it, the crystal necklace will only attract magic of the attribute of the wearer.
"nice one!"
After reading the introduction, Gervis muttered to himself, although he couldn't use this thing, it was the first time he knew of a magic accessory with such function.
Of course, the price of this necklace is not cheap, 6,800 gold coins. If you want to engrave an inscription, you will need to add 200 gold coins for labor costs!
"Laki, I see Adela already has a necklace. Are you sure she will wear it after you give it to her?"
Although Gervis felt that it would be useless no matter what Laci gave him, since he was here, he still felt it necessary to give some advice as a way of repaying Laci for his previous help to him.
“It seems so!”
Originally, Laci was quite satisfied with the necklace, because he saw that the necklace Adela was wearing also had blue gems, and he believed that Adela liked blue, so he wanted to choose a necklace with the same blue gems.
He really hadn't considered whether Adela would wear it.
"Well Harry, what do you think I should choose for Adela?"
Gervis' words awakened the dreamer, and Laci immediately placed his hope on Gervis.
Naturally, he had the experience of pursuing noble ladies before he came to the academy, but at that time, no matter what he gave, those nobles were very surprised. Adela was naturally different, which made him a little confused.
After hearing what Laci said, Gervis thought that he should not have reminded this guy earlier. It was obviously him who gave Adela a gift, but he made him think about it.
But since Lach said so, Gervis could only make a choice reluctantly. As for whether Lach was satisfied or not, that was up to him.
"How about this!"
After choosing for a long time, Gervis felt a bit of a headache. Finally, he suddenly saw a pair of long white lace gloves in the corner, the kind that reached his forearms, so he immediately pointed at the pair of lace gloves.
"Lightweight spider silk gloves? Only 999 gold coins, Harry, isn't that too cheap?"
When Lach looked at the items chosen by Gervis, he immediately frowned, especially the price of the gloves, which made him very dissatisfied.
If 999 gold coins were given to an ordinary person, it would naturally be a valuable gift, but if it were given to Adela, it would be too embarrassing.
Seeing Laci's disgusted look, Gervis rolled his eyes.
Although these spider silk gloves only have a lightweight function, the lace style and the very delicate patterns interwoven make them a beautiful work of art. Such gloves are just right for a rich lady like Adela.
Although the only function of this glove is to make the items held in the hand lighter.
But the standard equipment for a magician is a magic manual and a magic wand. Any wealthy magician will have these two things, and Adela is no exception. No matter how light the magic manual and the magic wand are, they still have some weight for a delicate young lady like Adela.
Before she reaches the intermediate magician level, maybe Adela will really be able to use it.
This is much more cost-effective than giving her the necklace. Giving her the necklace would at most just increase the inventory of Adela's family treasure house.
This guy obviously didn't know that love is unrequited, so it would be useless even if he gave him the staff worth 180,000 gold coins.
"Harry, why don't I just buy this necklace!"
Laqi hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't dare to give such a cheap gift. It would be embarrassing if he was outdone by others.
"This is of course your own choice!"
Gervis spread his hands and had no opinion. He was just making a suggestion. It wasn't his money anyway.
In the end, Laci bought the magic blue crystal necklace for 7,200 gold coins. Another 400 gold coins were for engraving the inscription. Because Adela was a dual-system magician, the price of engraving the inscription was doubled.
The necklace cannot be taken away at this time, and the Holy Trading Company will deliver it to your door in three days.
After the gifts were sold, Gervis and Lach did not stay upstairs, but went downstairs directly to leave.
But just as they walked to the lobby on the first floor, they suddenly saw a group of people walking towards them.
There were quite a large group of people in this group. There were already more than ten people who had walked into the hall, and the group behind them stretched all the way to the gate of the manor.
“Why are there so many people!”
Lucky muttered curiously.
And Gervis was also looking curiously at the four or five people in robes in the group.
These people are not magicians, because the styles of the robes they wear are wrong. However, even if the styles are wrong, few people except magicians dare to wear robes in the Holy Continent, because this can easily lead to misunderstandings from the Magicians Association.
At this time, the group of people were led by Steward Peide to the back of the hall.
A few seconds later, Gervis and Lach just passed these people head-on. At the moment of passing them, Gervis suddenly noticed something was wrong.
He actually saw silver-white and green skin under the hoods of those robes. These five people were actually foreigners.
"It's the sea tribe! How is this possible!"
Just as Gervis was guessing what race these people were, it was Lachi who made a soft cry beside Gervis.
It was obvious that he also saw what was under the hood of the robe.
