Søren's wounds healed quite well.
By the second day, there were basically no traces of his wounds when he walked. Only when he exercised vigorously would he feel a little inconvenience. If the wounds didn't open up, it would take at most two days for him to fully recover. This was the main reason why Søren wanted to increase his Constitution by 20 points. If he could increase his Constitution by one point, he could completely recover from this degree of injury within a day with his [Regeneration] ability.
After all, the treasure cave was only a low-level adventure location.
If he wanted to go deep into some underground ruins or a higher-level adventure location, it could even take more than a month.
This included not only the time spent exploring the ruins, but also the survival events encountered on the way, as well as the possibility of accidents. Therefore, Constitution greatly affected the survival ability of adventurers. For example, Søren once met an idiotic mage who actually used [Enhanced] Bursting Fireball in a narrow underground cave. In the end, the whole cave collapsed. Although his teammates were all high-grade professions, there were no casualties. However, they were trapped underground for an entire week. In the end, they had to dig out a tunnel with their bare hands!
So.
Please remember to stay away from those mages with low IQ.
Sometimes, they were more dangerous than monsters!
Of course.
This wasn't the worst thing!
Even worse was the work of a priest. He actually used an 'earthquake' spell in the underground ruins. In the end, a large area of the underground ruins collapsed. Most of the loot was destroyed by the earthquake, and all of his teammates were buried hundreds of meters underground. In the end, only a special Dwarf Warrior with more than 25 Constitution crawled out alive. This priest was finally known as the 'worst' creature, and it could be said that he was the nightmare of all adventurers!
However.
Basically, this kind of behavior was done by the players.
The original inhabitants of the story were all experts. Sometimes, they could even use a low-level spell to turn the situation around.
Unfortunately, the original inhabitants of the story were the most difficult to become teammates!
…
Before Søren went to pick up Vivian, he first went to the Secret Shop.
The city gate was heavily guarded, and they took the traveling expenses of outsiders very seriously. After the skinning incident started to ferment, there were already signs of it becoming more and more serious. However, Soran knew that all this was just the beginning. In his memory, the skinning incident was an evil chain of sacrificial rituals. The final scope of the incident covered the entire southern region. There were a total of six kingdoms, eighteen duchies, thirty-one city-states, and more than three hundred cities.
At that time, there were at least 200,000 players involved in the plot, and more than 20 Legendary professions were directly drawn out!
It could be said that this period of time was when the players were at their weakest.
Søren carefully recalled everything in his memory, trying to deduce the current time. The skinning incident had just begun, and the Ancient Red Dragon had yet to appear. In other words, there was still about a year before the gods lost their divine powers and were forced to descend as saints. In addition to some special events, he should have about two years to accumulate strength.
Two years later.
Something very serious was about to happen!
The Goddess of Magic had fallen, and the Magic Net had completely collapsed. All wizards had temporarily lost their ability to cast spells.
The Goddess of Magic was a powerful deity, and she was also the first to be hit during the Age of Chaos. She was in charge of the Magic Net in countless planes, and she helped wizards cast spells.
This was the spell slot ability that the Adepts were using now!
There were many wizards at this stage, so basically every city had a Secret Shop. It was only after the Goddess of Magic had fallen that the number of wizards began to decrease. With the fall of the Goddess of Magic, the Magic Net had lost its maintainer, and the Magic Net began to collapse on a large scale, causing wizards to completely lose their spell slots.
All Adepts with Intelligence below 18 will lose the ability to cast spells!
All wizards with Intelligence below 20 would only be able to cast the lowest level of Level 0 cantrips!
Only wizards with Intelligence above 20 would be able to use their own ability to observe and analyze the laws of the world, and then gradually recover their ability to cast spells. However, at that time, they would no longer use the spell slots on the Magic Net, but their own mana and understanding of the laws.
The Magic Net was a convenience, but it was also a restriction on the power of spells!
It could allow wizards with insufficient talent (Intelligence below 18) to cast spells more easily, but at the same time, it also restricted powerful wizards (Intelligence above 18) from becoming terrifying great arcanists!
Ever since then.
Wizards began to walk towards two extremes, either extremely useless or extremely abnormal.
However, these were all things for the future.
At this stage, the Magic Net was still operating normally. All wizards gave their mana to the Magic Net, borrowing the power of the Goddess of Magic in exchange for spell slots.
Although this required them to frequently memorize spells!
Søren sorted out his memories in his mind, because the fall of the Goddess of Magic was a very important event.
The resulting turbulence affected countless planes!
During that time, the value of rare items soared several times. Now, the value of a low-level multi-dimensional bag that cost 100 Kindler coins could skyrocket to more than 500 Kindler coins. Because with the fall of the Goddess of Magic, many gods also fell in the mortal world. Many priests and Druil also lost their ability to cast spells.
Only those who had broken through 20 points in related attributes and entered the realm of Transcendents could rely on their own strength to gain insight into the world's rules.
Gradually recover their ability to cast spells!
This period was not far away. If Søren remembered correctly, the Goddess of Magic was the first to fall, and wizards would soon lose their ability to cast spells.
Then, the era of arcane revival would begin!
… … …
The Arcane Shop was actually very inconspicuous.
This was because wizards did not like to communicate with ordinary people, and even other professions found it difficult to come into contact with them.
Among all the spellcasting professions, only priests were more down-to-earth.
Søren gently pushed open a wooden door. The inside of the Arcane Shop was very spacious, and there were only a few counters with some enchanted equipment. There were actually very few customers here.
This was because the items here were very expensive, and ordinary people could not afford them!
"For sale or for purchase?"
An old man lazily glanced at Søren. He wore a pair of glasses and held a book as thick as a brick in his hand. After looking up at Søren, he said indifferently, "If you're selling enchanted equipment, let me evaluate its value. If you're buying enchanted equipment, feel free to look around."
The Arcane Shop was established by the Wizard Alliance, and it was basically located in most cities. There were wizards above Grade 2 who would rotate every once in a while. At this time, the Wizard Alliance was still relatively strong and prosperous. After the fall of the Goddess of Magic, their strength began to decline on a large scale. At that time, many people took advantage of the situation to rob the Arcane Shop.
But now, doing so would be suicide!
The old man seemed to have seen through Søren's profession and reminded him, "Don't touch the things here. There are magic traps on them."
Everyone knew that a Thief's hands were the most dishonest.
Of course, Søren would not seek death. Instead, he took out the two Snake Demon Longswords from his back and directly placed them in front of the old man.
This was a Grade 3 wizard.
His profession should be above Grade 10 Scholar or Grade 10 Wizard. Killing Søren would only be a matter of minutes.
"Eh?"
The old man glanced at the Snake Demon Longswords and showed a hint of surprise. He whispered, "Abyssal Fire Rock?"
He struggled to pick up the longsword and touched the blade with his finger. Wizards did not have high Strength, and their Constitution was also much lower than other professions. Only after reaching the realm of legends could they strengthen themselves through special rituals. The old man carefully observed for a moment, then retracted his finger and said, "Such a material is actually used to forge weapons!"
"It's a bit of a waste."
The old man glanced at Søren and did not ask about the origin of the weapon. He only said, "80 Kindler."
The Arcane Shop had its own channels. As long as it was a rare grade equipment, they would accept it without asking about its origin, whether it was stolen goods or not.
Wizards never complained about having too much money. They spent it even faster!
"120 Kindler."
After hearing the old man's price, Søren could not help but frown. He slowly said, "This sword was forged from Abyssal Fire Rock!"
"According to the rules of weapon pricing, the price of greatswords should be around 50%!"
"Whether this sword is sold or recycled, it should be worth 200 Kindler or more. If it can be transported to the North or the grasslands, it can be worth 300 Kindler."
"That's more than double the profit!"
"80 Kindler is too little. If it was sold to the Thieves' Union, the price would be even higher! "
The old man looked at Søren with a bit of surprise. He then said, "You know the market."
"That's good."
"120 Kindler it is."
The old man gently shook the bell, and then a heavy figure walked out from behind. It was a stone golem about 2.2 meters tall, a type of alchemical construct. The golem took the Snake Demon Sword with both hands and walked through the back door. It then carried an inconspicuous bag behind the old man.
It was a multi-dimensional bag!
The old man reached out and opened the multi-dimensional bag, pouring it out onto the counter. A pile of Kindler glittering with golden light appeared.
He glanced at it and waved his finger. The Kindler was divided into two piles. The small pile flew into the multi-dimensional bag, and the big pile was pushed in front of Søren.
"Mage Hand."
It was a very convenient ability.
Mages were indeed rich. After the old man took the two Snake Demon Swords, he looked back at the book and said casually, "Feel free to look around. If you want to buy anything, just let me know."
240 Kindler.
There was a small pile of Kindler weighing 12 pounds (about 5 kilograms). It was not convenient to carry them around.
Sometimes it would even affect one's fighting ability.
Søren reached out and took out a small half of the pile, exactly 100 Kindler. He then said, "I want a low-level multi-dimensional bag."
The old man nodded and put away the Kindler. He then took out an inconspicuous bag from the drawer.
"Be careful not to damage it."
He glanced at Søren. Perhaps because he found him pleasing to the eye, he reminded him, "It's only protected by the lowest level of enchantment. It won't be damaged by normal use, but if it's damaged by someone, the things inside will fall out."
Søren nodded and put away the 140 Kindler.
A low-level multi-dimensional bag had a space of three feet. The size of the pocket was about half a foot, and it could store smaller things.
If it was damaged in an attack, it would lose its storage ability. The small space inside would collapse, and the items would fall out.
They could even be lost in a spatial rift.
There was a high chance that rare items below Legendary would be damaged. Even Søren's Ogre Gauntlet could be damaged in a battle!
Some of them could even be damaged beyond repair.
The trade was complete.
Søren quickly left the Arcane Shop and walked towards the blacksmith shop near the square.
He needed a machete.
It was difficult to buy a rare machete in the South. He could only buy a military machete for now.
A row of data appeared:
"Negotiation successful!"
"You have successfully raised the value of the item through negotiation!"
"Valuation + 1, negotiation + 1."
