Chapter 142: First Encounter of a Magical Weapon
Chapter 143: First Sighting of Magical Weapons
This made Richard uneasy when he collected Joachim's spoils.
He kept thinking about how to deal with the official wizards who might come.
However, Richard thought carefully and realized that at least he no longer had the tracking mark on him, so he must be safe for a while.
However, he had to hurry up and get back to the school to hide after finishing the family's affairs. If that didn't work, he would have to sign an agreement with the school.
After all, after signing the agreement, he would be the future wizard seed of the Ignis School and a complete member of the family. Not to mention that he was just "self-defense", even if he took the initiative to attack, as long as he was right, the Ignis School would definitely protect him.
Why not seek refuge from Master Ceres? You can get refuge for a while, but not for a lifetime. The biggest purpose of signing an agreement with the school is to get the third advanced meditation method and break the limit. When you become a formal wizard, you naturally don't have to be afraid of formal wizards anymore.
In the previous battle, Richard was deeply impressed by the witchcraft that Joachim performed, which was like several streams of blood-colored water.
That witchcraft instantly made the Abomination appear to be as violent as a barbarian, greatly increasing its combat power.
And Richard also saw the full picture of this witchcraft in Joachim's memory screen: [Blood Amber Power], a zero-level witchcraft, using the blood power in the blood amber to make the contracted creature enter a bloodthirsty and violent state, which lasts for three minutes. It takes one blood amber to cast the spell. The higher the quality of the blood amber, the better the effect.
Blood amber Richard knew that it was introduced in Jenna's experimental manuscript, and Richard also knew how to extract and make blood amber.
After memorizing the spell and witchcraft model of this new witchcraft, Richard began to collect the spoils.
As Richard expected, Joachim had a lot of good things on him.
In the fierce fight just now, Joachim's methods were quite extraordinary, and Richard felt that his strength was not inferior to Muken.
Senior third-level wizard apprentices, none of them are simple!
Richard found a blood-stained amulet on Joachim's neck.
After wiping the blood-stained amulet, Richard carefully observed it under the mottled light and shadow of the forest.
On the amulet, which was neither gold nor wood, there were four overlapping, hooded, black-robed figures with unclear faces. At the same time, the four figures were exactly the same, as if they were mirror images of the same figure.
After carefully reading the explanation array hidden on the back of the amulet, Richard was quite fond of this amulet.
The explanation array stated that this amulet was called [Phantom Amulet], a top-level witchcraft prop. After using it, a figure will appear in front of, behind, and on the left and right of the user. The duration of the phantom is half a minute, and the user can control each phantom individually with consciousness.
After use, it needs to be charged for 12 hours before it can be used again.
What Richard valued most was its second special effect, which was that he could control each phantom individually with his consciousness. If this special effect was used well, he could avoid some fatal dangers in critical moments.
In this way, he was lucky just now. When Joachim just used the Phantom Amulet and had no time to control the phantom to run away, he was blown up by the three bottles of Fire Dance Stars he used.
Otherwise, he would probably be deceived by the phantom at that time and let Joachim escape.
If he reunited with the hatred, he could still fight back. In this case, it would be hard to say who would win.
In that case, it is estimated that he would have to go through a hard battle before he could win with difficulty!
It's just that the [Phantom Amulet] has no energy now, so it's a bit regrettable that Richard can't actually verify it.
Putting away the [Phantom Amulet], Richard continued to search for the spoils.
Soon, he found a large bag of magic stones on Joachim's waist. When he opened it, he found a small amount of intermediate magic stones and about three or four thousand ordinary magic stones.
After conversion, the total value of magic stones is probably no less than four thousand.
Tsk tsk! The money came too quickly. Richard's purse, which had been empty for a long time, was now filled again.
As Richard continued to search, he also found some other scattered potions, as well as some rare herbs from the Norman Secret Realm.
All of these were classified by Richard and put into a large package.
Finally, the only thing left was the very strange-looking staff held in Joachim's hand.
The staff was about 1.4 meters long, with a curved body. It was called a staff, but in Richard's opinion, it was just a thick vine.
The top was thicker, similar to a blocky rhizome, and like a large potato, while the other end was relatively thinner, consistent with the body of the staff, but thinner.
Richard picked up this strange vine staff and looked at it carefully, because he felt the majestic energy that this staff radiated faintly, which made him a little frightened. This was something he had never encountered since he came into contact with so many top-level witchcraft props.
"Hiss! This is actually a witchcraft weapon. No wonder Joachim can summon abominations to help fight!" After reading the description of the vine magic array, Richard widened his eyes and couldn't help but swear!
The description array stated that this vine staff was called [Mutated Summoning Staff], a low-level witchcraft weapon (broken). If the holder uses this staff to communicate with the undead world, the success rate of summoning will increase. At the same time, all summoned undead creatures will be forcibly converted into an abomination.
Looking at the description of the description array, Richard couldn't help but fall into thought.
The key words are "all undead creatures" and "one".
Could it be that if I use this mutant summoning staff and cast the zero-level sorcery [Summon Skeleton], what I summon will not be four skeletons, but one abomination?
If this is true, it's amazing!
After all, Richard just saw that even the "mini" abomination that Joachim summoned, which was only two meters and five meters tall, had already crushed his four skeleton guards in combat power.
However, this is just my guess and needs to be verified. At the same time, how big can the abomination I summon be? Can it exceed two meters and five?
Richard was also quite curious about this. He rubbed his hands and couldn't help but feel a little itchy. He wanted to try it immediately.
Immediately, Richard put down the bone summoning staff, held the mutant summoning staff in his hand, and began to recite the spell to summon skeletons.
With the casting of the zero-level sorcery of summoning skeletons, Richard's mental power suddenly felt a huge difference when communicating with the undead world.
At this moment, his hundreds of mental tentacles were twisted into a thick mental tentacle when passing through the mutated summoning staff, and directly penetrated into the deeper level of the undead world.
This distance and depth far exceeds the scope of the skeleton warrior.
Moreover, the coordinates were specified, as if the undead world had saved a coordinate location for Richard.
Once his mental tentacles penetrated the undead world, they skipped the previous skeleton summon area and were located directly here.
Here, all are hateful mental light balls.
In other words, Richard's bone summoning was forced to be changed to hateful summoning.
This should also be the reason why this staff is classified as a witch weapon.
Although, the hateful mental light ball that Richard came into contact with was only the weakest one.
But it is hate after all!
After many attempts, Richard reluctantly signed a summoning agreement with a slightly larger spiritual power light ball. Suddenly, the reverse pentagram magic circle was filled with green light, and a huge abomination with a height of about 2.7 meters was summoned by Richard!
Richard was delighted by this. 2.7 meters, it seems that the abomination he summoned is stronger than the abomination of Joachim!
But the next second, Richard's smile faded, because he thought that he might not be able to use these two top witchcraft props.
If he stayed now and was found by the official wizard of the Ring of North, he would be finished.
When Richard thought of this, he was a little uninterested, so he took Joachim's trotting zebra and turned around and quickly returned to the Andel Market.
Since he couldn't keep it in his hands, of course he chose to sell it immediately, or like last time, replace it with equipment that suits him.
——
At the same time, Joachim's mentor Gildarts, who was far away in the Ring of Noth, had a sudden impulse and frowned immediately. He clearly sensed that the tracking mark of another of his disciples, Joachim, was triggered.
This means that the other party is dead!
Two of his disciples have died in the past six months.
He couldn't help but feel a little confused. After all, Joachim was a third-level wizard apprentice that he was optimistic about. Moreover, with the low-level wizard weapon he gave him, it shouldn't be a problem to escape?
Could it be that Joachim encountered an enemy at the level of a formal wizard?
But he shook his head again. He didn't believe that his disciple would offend a formal wizard for no reason.
Gildarts sensed the location of the tracking mark, thought about it, and decided to go and see for himself what was going on.
——
Andel Market.
In the room of Boris, the supervisor of Peter Auction House.
"Knock, knock!" A rapid knock on the door came.
"Come in!"
"Boss Boris, the VIP who just left is back?" The girl ran into the room and said hurriedly.
"Hey! Back again? Could it be that the other party regretted it?" Boris's face darkened immediately. You know, he got a lot of bonus through the previous transaction with Richard, and also received praise from a powerful elder of the family.
If the other party came here to regret, it would not only mean that the bonus would be gone, but also that he would be held accountable.
"No, no! Boss, you misunderstood. I think the VIP looks like he wants to continue selling things because the package he brought this time is a bit big!" The girl hurriedly gestured with her two little hands and said.
Boris's face turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant when he heard it.
The speed of this change of expression made the girl next to him flutter her big eyes twice, with a silly and cute face!
"Let's go! Take me there. Which VIP room is it?"
"Oh, it's VIP room number three."
As soon as he finished speaking, Boris took the lead and walked out of his room at a very fast speed. The girl followed him with a "da da da" pace!
As soon as he entered the door, Boris's face was filled with a chrysanthemum full of smiles. He bowed slightly to Richard who was sitting on the chair and said respectfully: "Welcome to the Pete Auction House again."
Richard waved his hand, interrupting Boris's greetings, and said straight to the point: "Manager Boris, please sit down. We are also acquaintances. This time, I want to sell you another thing."
As Richard spoke, he took out the amulet engraved with overlapping human figures from his bulging package and handed it to Boris who was standing beside him.
It was the [Phantom Amulet]!
Boris took the amulet respectfully with both hands and immediately examined it carefully.
However, although Richard had already wiped off the blood on the amulet, the bloody smell on the amulet was smelled by Boris with his keen sense of smell.
Immediately, Boris was shocked, but he remained calm and pretended to be calm, and carefully read the explanation array.
After a long time, Boris' heart was surging with turbulent waves.
Another top-level witchcraft prop, and it was the kind that was "freshly baked".
You know, more than 90% of those who can use top-level witchcraft props are third-level wizard apprentices.
Obviously, the young man opposite, who had just reached the third-level wizard apprentice, seemed to have killed another third-level wizard apprentice in less than two hours, and thus obtained this top-level witchcraft prop.
Of course, it may also be obtained before, but it was not traded last time.
But in any case, it can show the power of the young man in front of him.
Unexpectedly, this young man who looked harmless at first glance actually had such a sharp method.
Moreover, he was so strong at such a young age, and he probably had a deep background.
Thinking of this, Boris was silent for a moment and said, "Dear guest, in addition to selling the [Phantom Amulet], do you want to buy anything else this time?"
Richard thought about it and smiled, "Do you have any other good things here? For example, the [Mimicry Wristband]?"
This made Boris smile bitterly and said, "Dear guest, you are joking. The auction house may not receive one of the [Mimicry Wristband] in a month. Originally, it was our Pete Auction House, as the finale of the monthly auction. How could it be so easy to find another one?"
Although Richard had expected this result, he felt a little disappointed when he heard Boris's clear statement.
And this is why he did not take out the low-level magic weapon [Mutation Summoning Wand] at the first time.
He was worried that this Peter Auction House might not have anything he could appreciate. After all, when he came here last time, the other party had already taken out the finale of the auction.
In addition, as a third-level wizard apprentice, he came to trade top-level witchcraft props, which barely met his status and was also reasonable.
But if he had to sell a low-level wizard weapon, even if it was a broken low-level wizard weapon, it might attract some greedy eyes, some existence that he could not resist for the time being.
Seeing Richard's expression darken, Boris, who seemed to have guessed something, immediately turned to the girl and whispered: "Go and get the auction list of the auction house in three days, and let the VIP choose it."
"This." The girl seemed a little hesitant.
"It's okay, just say I want to see it." Boris emphasized.
The girl nodded and turned to leave the room.
Boris turned around and explained to Richard with a smile: "According to the rules of the auction house, the list of items in the auction is confidential before the auction. You should understand this, VIP, for some unnecessary trouble."
Richard understood immediately that this was not the kind of auction house in his previous life, where he was eager to advertise the items he was going to auction to attract more wealthy customers.
In the auction house of the other world, many things are not legitimate. If they are publicized, it will cause unnecessary trouble.
So, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it eventually evolved into the current form. Only the guests who attended the auction on the day knew what was auctioned this time.
However, the other party now gave the confidential auction list to me in advance for selection. This is a deliberate attempt to make friends with me.
Richard raised his eyebrows and felt that Boris was good at doing business.
After a while, the girl brought a black iron box.
Boris recited a short syllable, opened the black iron box with a delicate little key, took out a beautifully made sheepskin scroll from it, and turned to hand it to Richard.
Richard's face lit up, and after taking it, he looked at it carefully.
However, after looking at it for a while, Richard's face gradually faded. Obviously, there was nothing in the list that he could take a fancy to.
Although most of the items on the auction were of good quality, they were mostly high-level witchcraft props. To be honest, Richard was a little disappointed.
The last two items, although they were also top-level witchcraft props, were both staffs, and he already had the Skeleton Summoning Staff, so he naturally didn't need it.
Richard frowned, thinking about how to sell the low-level witchcraft weapon [Mutation Summoning Staff]. Did he have to take a low-level witchcraft weapon to exchange for these two top-level witchcraft props?
It seemed that in Andel Market, the only store that was capable of taking his low-level witchcraft weapon was Pete's Auction House.
Boris looked at Richard's expression and seemed to guess that Richard didn't have any interest in the items on the auction list.
Boris's expression became more serious, as if he had made a decision. He waved his hand and asked the girl to leave the room first.
Boris said softly: "Dear guest, I may have something here that may be of interest to you, but please keep it confidential!"
"No problem." Richard looked at Boris curiously and said.
I just checked and there was no good stuff on the auction list. How come there is one now?
Boris took out a test tube filled with gray liquid from his arms, handed it to Richard, and said: "This is [purifying water]. It has only one function, which is to remove all the breath and attachments of the original owner of the item." The mark on this object makes it impossible for the original owner to trace it.”
Richard was stunned and immediately overjoyed, but he immediately realized that the other party must have guessed the unknown origin of these things.
But after Richard thought for a moment, he felt that this was not important.
The important thing is that the [Purifying Water] that the opponent took out, if it is really useful, means that you can eliminate the aura of the [Mutational Summoning Rod] and other possible hidden marks, so that you can use it directly. [Stand of Mutated Summoning].
I have just tested the power of low-level witchcraft with my own hands. It can be said that with the hatred summoned by this staff, my strength can be increased by about 20% again.
Combined with the new witchcraft [Power of Blood Amber], it can become your own new trump card!
Moreover, what if the other party guesses that the origin of the thing is unknown?
He didn't reveal any low-level witchcraft, he just revealed a top-level witchcraft item [Phantom Talisman]. The possibility of the other party turning against him and going to great lengths to deal with him was extremely low.
After Richard calmed down his excitement a little, he said, "What's the price?"
"This is the [Purifying Water] that our auction house has improved after many years. It is an original creation of our Pete Auction House. It has better effects than ordinary [Purifying Water]. I am willing to give this bottle of [Purifying Water] as a gift To the distinguished guests, I hope to gain your friendship.”
Richard took the [Purifying Water] and looked through it carefully. At the same time, he realized that he had underestimated Boris in front of him.
Although the other party's strength was mediocre and he was only a second-level wizard apprentice at this age, he was really good at doing business, so he couldn't refuse this gift.
Richard thought for a while, nodded and said: "Thank you, Director Boris. I also have some potions and some rare herbs from the Norman Secret Realm. I believe your auction house will like them."
Richard's reciprocation made Boris instantly overjoyed and said: "Of course."
As a well-informed auction house, Boris has obviously heard about the discovery of underground secrets by the three major necromancers' academies. But you must know that things produced in the Norman Secret Realm are rarely leaked out now, and they are basically monopolized by the three major necromancers' academies.
This immediately made him feel that the bottle of [Purifying Water] he had just paid for was very worthwhile.
However, at this point, Boris thought differently. In fact, no matter what, Richard would carefully choose to sell these things from Joakim. It was just a matter of which company to choose to sell them.
After some transactions, Richard once again received an income of more than 5,000 magic stones. Adding the more than 4,000 magic stones from Joakim in his wallet, there were nearly 10,000 magic stones in total.
However, after learning about the potion [Purifying Water], Richard became more active and asked: "Director Boris, does your bank sell the formula of this purifying water?" ?”
Richard himself is half a master of pharmacy. If he can get the formula of [Purifying Water], the benefits will be self-evident to him. He will no longer have to rush to take out the "trophies" in the future. Things can be preserved.
Boris shook his head directly and said: "Sorry, the formula of [Purifying Water] is a top secret of the family, and I don't have access to it."
Upon hearing this, Richard nodded to express his understanding. After all, if this potion formula was very common, there was no reason why he would not have heard of it.
"However, if the distinguished guest needs it, I can still find a way to get a few more bottles here." Boris thought for a while and added.
