Chapter 117 014: Invitation
On Fairy Street, Rosie stopped in front of a magic shop.
“This… this is.”
Luo Xi stared at the wall behind the counter without blinking. On the wall was a cabinet with a magic shield cast on it. What attracted Luo Xi at this moment was a ball of silk thread in the cabinet.
The silk thread is silver-gray, about the same thickness as a hair, and silver-gray in color.
Next to this ball of silk stood a glowing gem. What was very strange was that the colorful light emitted by the gem passed through the ball of silver-gray silk and directly shone on the other side of the cabinet, as if the ball of silk did not exist.
Invisible spider silk!
This is a very advanced magic material, which comes from a high-level magic creature called Spider Banshee. The silk threads sprayed by this magic creature can conceal color, breath, etc., and can also avoid mental power. It has a strong stealth effect and is an excellent material for making stealth magic items.
The magic cloak made of spider silk is difficult to detect even by high-level wizards, and is far beyond the reach of ordinary invisibility magic.
Luo Xi immediately walked over to the shopkeeper and asked, "How much is that ball of spider witch silk?"
Although he now has an invisibility cloak, it is only an apprentice wizard's tool. The invisibility effect it brings is very general, even worse than the invisibility spell that Luo Xi can learn after entering the wizard class.
If we take this ball of spider silk and make it into a cloak now, then there won't be any major problems on this journey.
The shop owner is a white-haired old man who is reading a book. Judging from his mental reaction, he is probably an advanced apprentice. Most likely, he has no hope of advancement but is reluctant to leave the wizarding world, so he is hired by some wizarding family to run the shop here.
Hearing Luo Xi's question, he said without even raising his head: "Three high-grade magic stones."
The value of a high-grade magic stone is 10,000 magic stones, and three high-grade magic stones are 30,000 magic stones.
Luo Xi nodded. This price was considered very fair. Invisible spider silk was a relatively rare magical material in the South Coast Witch Domain. It was in short supply all year round and the general selling price was no lower than 30,000.
He hurriedly took out his magic stone pocket, but after all the shopping, when Luo Xi poured out the magic stones, he awkwardly discovered that he only had two high-grade magic stones and dozens of medium-grade and low-grade magic stones left.
A medium-grade magic stone is worth 100 magic stones.
Luo Xi counted the magic stones in his hand and found that there were only 28,800 in total, still more than a thousand short.
As if seeing Luo Xi's predicament, the old wizard next to him said in advance before he stepped forward to bargain: "The Krohn family's magic shop does not bargain."
Luo Xi said, "Forget about the bargaining. It's just that I don't have enough magic stones with me, so I need to go home to get some. Before that, can I sign a purchase contract with you first? I can leave a part of the deposit here."
Invisible spider silk is a very scarce magical material, and the price here is not expensive. By the time he runs back to the castle to collect money, he is afraid that it will have been bought by someone else by the time he returns here.
However, facing Luo Xi's sincere proposal, the old wizard showed no interest at all, and said without even raising his eyelids: "No."
Just as Luo Xi guessed, the old man was just keeping the store for the Krohn family. He would receive the same salary no matter how much he sold. There was no need to go through trouble and take risks.
Just as the two were at a stalemate, a familiar voice sounded from behind:
"Dear Apprentice Roshi, what a coincidence."
Luo Xi's eyes lit up, and he turned around and saw a fat wizard walking towards him. It was the French wizard Green who had been interacting with him.
"Oh, Green, you came at the right time." Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
With Green's help, Luo Xi successfully bought the invisible spider silk.
Just as he bought the spider silk and left the store, several people in cloaks ran into the magic shop and asked for invisible spider silk.
After the spider silk was bought, the few people still looked at Luo Xi and the other person who had just walked out of the store with dissatisfaction, until they saw the elemental castle emblem on the chest of one of them and the blue emblem on the other, then they reluctantly looked away.
Luo Xi expressed his gratitude again: "Thank you very much for your help, Green. Otherwise, I am afraid I would not be able to buy this spider silk today."
Green sneered and said, "Thanks are not something you can express with words. How about buying me a drink?"
Luo Xi rolled his eyes and said, "You know I don't have any magic stones now. If you want to take advantage of the situation, you should choose a good time."
Because of the matter of witchcraft tools, Luo Xi and Green have been in frequent contact during this period. The other party is also a very easy-going person, and does not think he is superior to others because of his rank and background.
Green said, "It's okay. I can lend it to you. If you ask me for favors, I can deduct it from the magic stone I gave you later, right?"
Luo Xi teased, "It's really French."
Seeing this, Luo Xi stopped talking nonsense. It happened that the Green Goblin Tavern was just in front of them, so the two of them turned a corner and went in and found a booth by the window.
We started chatting while drinking.
Green looked at him and sneered, "I see a dark cloud entwined around you. It looks like you've been plagued by bad luck lately. Is that right?"
Luo Xi said: "Everyone knows what I'm going through now. You're not going to say that you figured it out through divination, are you?"
"Hahaha!"
Green laughed. "You are really courageous. You are the first one I have met who dares to refuse the apprenticeship of the Best Family in the South Coast Witch Territory."
Luo Xi shrugged: "Then, should I say it's an honor?"
Green cut off a small piece of beef with a small fork and put it in his mouth, while asking: "So what are your plans now?"
Luo Xi shook his head: "Not yet."
Luo Xi didn't plan to tell anyone about leaving the South Coast Witch Domain for the time being. After all, who knew if the Best family would do something weird again.
Green suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about leaving here?"
Luo Xi was stunned.
Green said: "In the South Coast Wizarding Territory, everything is decided by these wizard families. The rules here are the rules of the wizard families. If you offend them here, it will be very difficult for you to develop in the future."
Rosie didn't say anything.
Green said: "Think about it carefully. This is a question that needs to be carefully considered. You deserve to go to a better place."
Luo Xi asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Seeing this, Green simply said, "Let me be frank. Are you interested in going to France?"
Luo Xi was stunned: "Fran?"
This is indeed a very appropriate place. After all, as a level five wizard domain, it has far more abundant resources and better training conditions than the South Coast Wizard Domain. If you can gain a foothold there, it will definitely be many times better than the South Coast Wizard Domain.
But the problem is...
Luo Xi asked: "Can we go there whenever we want?"
There are clear boundaries between each wizard domain, especially the top wizard domain like France, which is impossible to enter without an invitation.
As he spoke, Luo Xi looked at the fat man in front of him curiously.
Now that he has brought it up, does he really have some way to get himself to France?
Rogge said, "It may be a little difficult for you to have an identity there, but if you really want to go, you can join our Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce first. I will make some arrangements and help you stay there as a subordinate. You can find a way to get an identity later. I can still do that."
Is that so? Luo Xi basically understood what the fat man said. Basically, he was going to give him a job opportunity in France. Once he had a foothold, he would slowly find a way to get a legal identity so that he could stay there for a long time.
Green said: "Think about it carefully. This is a question that deserves careful consideration."
