Chapter 11 011: Fairy Street
Just like the flea market in the human world, the market here is also full of people, thieves, swindlers, wandering wizards, and even dark wizards. If you don't take precautions in such a place, you will easily suffer losses.
Luo Xi said: "Check, have you brought all your badges?"
The Elemental Castle has an accountability mechanism, so the castle badge has a certain deterrent effect here. Others will not dare to act rashly when they see their identity as members of the Elemental Castle, especially if they are apprentices in training.
"Oh, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten."
"I did."
"I've got it on, too."
After making sure there was no problem, they left the teleportation square.
As soon as they came out of the exit, several men in different clothes swarmed up, with smiles on their faces, announcing that they were guides responsible for leading the wizards on the journey.
However, after seeing the badges worn on the chests of several people, their enthusiasm quickly receded like the tide.
"It's from the Elemental Castle. No chance."
The people who had just gathered around them soon left.
Luo Xi and the others looked at each other.
Ina asked, "What do these people do?"
Nicole said, "I don't know, but he definitely has bad intentions. The profiteers in the city also had the same enthusiastic look when they tricked my brother into buying the abandoned manor."
Everyone unconsciously checked the badge on their chest again, only to find that this inconspicuous thing actually has such great power. No wonder everyone wants to enter the Elemental Castle.
This little episode passed quickly and everyone started strolling around the market.
Alan didn't walk far before he saw what he wanted.
This is an alchemical armor base. It is usually a bracelet worn on the wrist. After activating the magic circle on it, it can quickly unfold into a set of armor covering the whole body. It is quite cool.
But the price is not cheap, 30 magic stones are required. You have to know that this is just an alchemical base. It has not been enchanted yet, and the armor is just ordinary armor. Although it looks cool, its defense is very limited and it is far from being a magic equipment.
"If it's magic equipment, it can't be just 30 magic stones. This is the alchemical base. Do you understand the alchemical base?"
The alchemical base can be understood as a blank piece of drawing paper, which just lays a basic framework to facilitate the wizard's subsequent inscription enchantment and so on.
After a lot of bargaining and pestering, Alan finally spent all the 19 magic stones in his pocket to buy it, and this was because the other party took their reputation from the Elemental Castle.
"Hahaha, so handsome! So cool!"
Alan, who got what he wanted, couldn't let it go. He kept activating the magic circle on it to summon armor along the way, causing passers-by to look back frequently.
At this moment, a bookstore on the roadside caught Luo Xi's attention. He said hello and walked in.
The bookstore was very messy. The bookshelves were arranged in a mess. Books that could not be put away were piled on the floor. There was a desk in the middle, which was also full of books.
The clerk was a goblin, about 110 cm tall, with a pointed mouth, grayish-white skin, and only three long, thin fingers on his hands.
After seeing Luo Xi and the others, the goblin came over, rubbing his hands and smiling, saying, "Welcome, welcome, distinguished guests, welcome to the bookstore of our host, the great wizard Joey. I am..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the badges on Luo Xi's chests: "From the Elemental Castle?"
Luo Xi nodded: "Yes, we are apprentices of the Elemental Castle."
The goblin suddenly lost interest. The last goblin who had extorted money from the apprentice had not returned since he was taken away, and he did not want to bring bad luck upon himself.
"Look for yourselves, and tell me if you need anything."
"OK."
Luo Xi then wandered around the bookstore.
Although it looks messy here, it actually has its own order and logic. Each book can just reveal important information such as the cover and title.
After looking around, a book quickly caught Luo Xi's attention.
"Let me see that one."
The goblin pointed at the book on the top of the shelf and hooked his finger. The book immediately opened from the middle and flew down like a bird flapping its pages and landed in Luo Xi's hands.
Nicole came over curiously and read out the title: "Analysis of the Human Body Structure and Nervous System."
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Luo Xi, not knowing what she was thinking.
Luo Xi opened the book and flipped through it. Only the first few pages were visible, and the contents afterwards were all blurry. Luo Xi knew that it was protected by magic. After all, wizards all had strange methods, and if no certain protection was applied, it would be easy for others to steal the contents.
Luo Xi, who originally wanted to cheat the system, had to put away his dishonest thoughts and asked honestly: "How much?"
The goblin held up his only three fingers and said, "40 magic stones, no bargaining."
Luo Xi frowned, this is too expensive.
He shook his head and was about to put the book back, but Nicole snatched it away before he could.
Nicole bowed and asked politely, "Dear Mr. Goblin, this book is too expensive. Can you give us a lower price? How about 30?"
"No bargaining."
"What about 35? It's just 5 less magic stones."
"No bargaining."
"38 is fine, right? Two less."
"No bargaining."
Nicole was so angry at the stubborn goblin that her whole face puffed up with anger.
Luo Xi hurriedly said forget it, but she wouldn't listen at all.
After thinking for a while, Nicole turned to Aina and said, "Aina, lend me two magic stones."
Ina is a thin girl with flaxen hair and an oval face. She looks okay, except that she has some freckles on both sides of her nose. Overall, she is just an ordinary, pretty girl.
She was obviously hesitant when she heard Nicole's words. After all, they were just roommates and had only known each other for a week, so it was not possible to say that they were very familiar with each other.
Nicole said, "I'll pay you three dollars next month."
Seeing how serious she was, Aina couldn't be more reluctant, so she took out two magic stones and said, "You don't need to do that, just return it to me as it is."
Nicole took out all her magic stones and handed them to Luo Xi: "Take a look, this should be enough."
Luo Xi was stunned.
He really didn't expect that this little girl would empty out all her savings to help him without leaving any room for anything else.
"Thank you." Luo Xi said gratefully.
"Try to complete a gratitude, generate a critical hit, and increase the time by 3 days."
Nicole said generously: "Osiris will repay a favor."
After a pause, he stuck out his tongue and whispered, "But you have to pay it back to me next month."
ha.
With the forty magic stones he had collected, Luo Xi successfully bought the book. Now the three of them were penniless and could only look at Aina helplessly.
Ina was also speechless. What kind of weirdos did I go shopping with?
But after she started playing, she was not a stingy person. She divided the only magic stones she had into four parts and gave them to everyone. Otherwise, she would have to go home now.
The four of them wandered around Fairy Street for several hours and it was dusk in a blink of an eye.
Although the streets were still bustling, they were ready to go back.
However, at this moment, a sudden change interrupted their original plan. (End of this chapter)
