Chapter 25: Purchase of Magic Scrolls from the Magician Guild Branch
In the evening, a cool breeze blew in through the window.
Tang Zheng, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
Phew~ "Did you have a nightmare?"
Tang Zheng raised his hand to touch the thick sweat on his forehead, exhaled, and muttered softly to himself.
He dreamed of the Bone King, standing in front of him, looking at him coldly with a pair of scarlet eyes! "Damn it!"
Tang Zheng grinned and cursed under his breath.
Bone King is a time traveler, and so is Tang Zheng. Bone King is a player, and so is Tang Zheng! "So, why should I be afraid of you!" Tang Zheng took a deep breath, patted his cheek with his hand to wake himself up, then got up from the bed and looked out the window.
It was getting dark outside.
Tang Zheng walked to the window of the guest room and pushed it open. The cool breeze rushed into the room, dispelling a lot of his irritable mood.
Unexpectedly, he slept until the evening.
This small hotel is a two-story European-style building. He lives on the second floor. Through the window, he can see an alley below and the neighboring streets.
There are several wooden guardrails connected together and extending outside the window, but they look a bit old and obviously not strong.
Any thief with a little skill can easily climb up to the second floor using the walls on both sides of the alley.
Tang Zheng took a look, shook his head slightly, and closed the window again.
Such a small hotel itself is not immune to thieves.
Tang Zheng washed his face to make himself feel more refreshed before leaving the guest room.
On the street.
There were obviously fewer people than during the day. Only groups of adventurers dressed as armed with weapons were walking leisurely on the street.
Tang Zheng had already asked the hotel owner about the locations of nearby shops selling various items.
He first went to a store selling clothes.
Tang Zheng had been wearing this set of clothes for more than 10 days and they already had a sour smell. He would need to prepare a few more clothes for his next trip to the Tob Forest.
When walking out of the store.
Tang Zheng was holding a full package in his hands and was wearing a black robe that covered his entire body.
It cost him three silver coins in total.
The most expensive item was the black robe he was wearing, which cost one silver and seven coppers. The other clothes in the package were the same cheap coarse linen clothes that Tang Zheng had worn before.
The reason why I bought this black robe made of better material.
This was because Tang Zheng was going to the Magician's Guild next, and it was obviously inappropriate to wear too poor clothes to buy things there.
In the kingdom, every major city has branches of the Adventurer's Guild and the Magician's Guild.
However, unlike the Magician Guild headquarters in the capital, the branches in other cities do not have much function in training magic casters of the magic power system.
Generally, people with the talent of being a magical caster of mana will be sent to the headquarters in the royal capital by the branches of the Magicians' Guild in major cities for training.
The reason for this situation is naturally because of lack of money!
The relatively traditional customs of the people in the Kingdom of Li-Yestije meant that the country's top leaders did not pay much attention to the Magicians' Guild, which made it almost impossible for the Magicians' Guild to obtain financial assistance from the upper echelons.
therefore!
The branches of the Magicians' Guild in each city became places dedicated to making and selling magic props and magic scrolls.
The Magician's Guild here is a three-story building with an ordinary appearance. If Tang Zheng hadn't specifically asked passers-by, no one would have thought that this was a branch of the Magician's Guild.
It was completely different from the Adventurer's Guild which was bustling with people. It was quite deserted.
There were no guards at the door.
But come to think of it, no one should dare to break into the Magicians' Guild.
Tang Zheng came to the dark brown wooden door and was about to raise his hand to push it.
Ding~ A soft bell sound came from the upper left side of the wooden door.
Tang Zheng looked up and noticed that there was a fist-sized bell hanging above the dark brown wooden door.
You can faintly see a faint red light appearing on the bell from time to time.
Magic props?
This thought flashed through Tang Zheng’s mind.
Click! The dark brown wooden door opened automatically.
I see.
A hint of realization flashed across Tang Zheng's eyes. It was really convenient. However, the magic bell item should have more than just this simple function.
Thinking like this.
Tang Zheng stepped into the Magicians' Guild. Soft light poured in through the crack in the door, and the interior of the guild was unusually bright.
Compared to the rough and simple Adventurer's Guild, the interior of the Magician's Guild is completely different from its plain appearance.
The entire hall is dominated by red and black tones. The surrounding walls are all covered with a layer of red wooden boards, and only the area close to the ground is dyed black.
The hall doesn't look big, probably less than 100 square meters.
Judging from the outside, the building's area should be much larger than this, and the interior is obviously separated by partitions.
There are six hanging lamps on the left and right walls respectively, and above the head is a cylindrical chandelier that emits soft white light, illuminating the entire hall.
now.
Perhaps because it was evening, there were not many people in the Magician's Guild.
There were only two middle-aged men in robes sitting in front of the counter. One of them was dozing off with his chin on his hand and did not open his eyes because of Tang Zheng's arrival.
The other one is younger.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When Tang Zheng entered the hall of the Magician's Guild, he looked over here.
"I want to buy some magic scrolls." Tang Zheng walked forward and spoke softly.
Unlike expensive magic items that cost around 1,000 gold coins, magic scrolls are consumables, and the production process is relatively perfect, so the price is not too expensive.
But it is also because it is a consumable!
Therefore, even some adventurers who are slightly wealthy will not easily buy it.
"My name is Vala, what magic scroll do you need?"
The younger magician named Vala looked Tang Zheng up and down, with a somewhat lazy tone in his voice.
Pure black hair color is rare.
"Is there a watch? I'd like to choose one." Tang Zheng bowed slightly and spoke a little embarrassedly.
Bang! It seemed like it had been expected.
Vala casually pulled out a thin book from below, placed it on the table, and then became distracted.
Face this attitude.
Tang Zheng didn't care. Instead, he picked up the book on the table and started flipping through it with a little embarrassment. He forgot that he didn't actually know the characters of this world.
The first thing that caught my eye was the introduction to the Zero-Level Magic Scroll.
Tang Zheng's originally awkward mood also gradually eased. There were patterns on it, and even if he didn't know the words, he could tell the function of the scroll through the patterns.
There are more zero-orders than you might think.
For example, there are magic scrolls that are completely used for daily life, such as ignition, perpetual light, cleaning, etc., and have no offensive capabilities. These zero-level magics are dispensable to adventurers.
I heard someone from the Rock team mention it.
When some caravans or nobles travel, they always carry some zero-level magic scrolls to improve the quality of their travels.
Tang Zheng searched for a while and soon found the zero-level magic of "papermaking" in it.
However, he did not immediately ask for the purchase, but continued to flip through the contents of the book. Next, he read the first-level magic.
The number has suddenly decreased a lot, but both the practicality and function have been greatly improved!
「Repair (first level)」: Can repair damaged objects.
"Odorless (Level 1)": Can remove one's own odor.
"Floating Board (Level 1)": You can create a translucent floating board to carry items.
…………
「Magic Arrow (Level 1)」: Release three magic arrows to attack.
Tang Zheng looked at the information in the book. There were very few offensive magic scrolls, only three in total, and the other scrolls were mostly used for auxiliary purposes.
Huh? Tang Zheng turned to the last page and found that it was gone.
Is there no second-level magic scroll?
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, with the scroll manufacturing technology mastered by the humans in the other world, they should be able to create a third-level magic scroll.
And in the Silian Church, there is the manufacturing technology of the extremely precious fourth-level magic scroll! Even for the Magician Guild, the third-level magic scroll should be a relatively precious resource, but the second-level scroll should not be considered as such.
so.
It's not that they don't have it, but they just don't sell it to the public? Or ordinary buyers are not qualified to buy it.
