[I like these two chapters a lot, but the whole book won't be so light. After the calm comes the storm. Please recommend it and collect it. I'll keep working hard.]
Ainphent laughed, "You really are a pure mage. Actually, necromancy isn't that scary. The only thing I need to solve is my physical condition and money. "
"You can buy necromancy flames?"
"Although it's priceless, you can still find it if you put in the effort. If you need anything special in the future, you can tell me and I'll think of a way. "Ainphent was starting to like this low-level mage. Salin didn't have any prejudice against magic, and he seemed to be very knowledgeable. They were about the same age. Even if they didn't have a business relationship, the two would get along well.
"Help me value these gems first." Salin started to take out the gems from the leather bag. Even though Ainphent was from a big family, he was dazzled. Salin took out more than a hundred gems and stopped. Most of them were of good quality, and they were all about the size of a finger.
Ainphent divided the gems into four types, "Take the Tremolite back. I can't value it, and if you really want to sell it, you'll probably suffer a loss. You're a mage too, so keep it for yourself."
Salin pushed it back, "Take it as my money for the medicine. I'll pay in advance."
"Okay." Ainphent accepted it happily, "I'll go with you to the Qin Yin Empire. Leave the magic potions to me.
"What about the shop?"
"Close it. The family doesn't expect to make a fortune in this small place anyway.
Salin took out more than ten gems and put them on the table, "I'll choose some equipment. Are these enough?"
"Of course. I have the final say in this shop. I can give you a 20% discount." Ainphent first put the gems in a special leather bag, and then counted out 60,000 gold coins worth of Imperial bank notes for Salin. Salin was slightly relieved. If he trained diligently, he would need at least one third-grade magic core a day, and this was under the condition that he was only a first-level mage.
A single Class 3 Monster Core was worth around 150 gold coins. 150 gold coins a day, that would be 54000 gold coins a year. If he didn't use magic cores to recover, his training speed would be several times slower.
There were many magicians on the continent who were known as geniuses, but none of them were poor. If these geniuses only relied on meditation to recover, their cultivation speed would not be much faster. These sixty thousand gold coins were enough to sustain his cultivation for a year. However, it seemed like he should send some money to Shika's village. If it wasn't for Sicar, he wouldn't have been able to get a single one of these gems.
Seeing Salin carefully put away the money, Ainphent asked, "What kind of equipment do you want?"
Salin didn't know what kind of equipment Neris needed. Because he was in a hurry, he didn't even ask Neris what skills she had. Salin called Neris, who was playing with a magic doll, to his side and asked, "I'm going to change your equipment. What armor or weapons do you need?"
"Master, demons don't need these, but …"
"But what?"
"Master, I can use the space equipment, can you …"
"Space equipment?" Salin was overjoyed. His Bestowed Ring was not restricted by its level, but the space inside was too small. There was almost no free space in front of him.
Ainphent didn't know what Salin and Neris were talking about, so he could only stare at them. Salin was obviously speaking an ancient language. Ainphent came from a big family, but it didn't mean that he had a strong inheritance, and he wouldn't have as many magic books as Jason. He knew almost nothing about the Ancient Myers language.
"Ainphent, do you have better space equipment here?"
Salin's words shocked Ainphent. High-level space equipment was calculated with millions of gold coins, and it could only be used by magicians above level 6. Could this beauty who spoke an inexplicable language be a Great Magician? Or a Magic Shooter!
"I do have one. I was originally prepared for my own use in the future …"
Salin simply took off the leather bag on his back, opened it, and poured out a pile of gems.
Ainphent was stunned. After a while, he said, "Salin, you robbed a dragon?"
Although Salin didn't rob a dragon, he cleaned a temple. Although these gems were fragments processed by Neris, the value of the gems themselves was not low. Salin poured out nearly a thousand at once. Anyone would feel dizzy. Ainphent inhaled cold air, and even held back a cough.
After a moment of silence, Ainphent said to Salin, "Salin, it's really not enough. My equipment itself is worth about a million gold coins, and there's also a level-8 spell on it that my parents asked someone to fix. I originally planned to exchange this equipment for gold coins to buy the Necromancer Flame. You also know how difficult it is to open the summoning array in the Undead Plane … "
Fixed level-8 spell? Although it wasn't a scroll-type item, it still needed a magician above level 6 to activate it. No matter what level-8 spell it was, it needed a level-9 magician to fix it on the equipment. Such a price was indeed worth a million gold coins. In fact, level-9 magicians could no longer be moved by gold coins. Even if you had more gold coins, they might not be willing to fix a spell for you.
Salin shook the corner of the leather bag, and hundreds of gems flowed out.
Ainphent gritted his teeth, his eyes a little red, and said, "Deal."
With that, he took off a bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Salin. Salin somewhat admired Ainphent. In the face of so many gems, he didn't have any killing intent. Even if he was a direct descendant of a large family, he might not have seen so many valuable gems. Moreover, Ainphent's desire for magic was so strong that he was willing to spend millions of gold coins in exchange for a chance. This was so similar to himself.
The bracelet was made of metal, dark silver with a hint of light blue. It was probably a bit of the legendary seventh degree gold. Salin remembered that there was also a large piece of seventh degree gold ore among the ores he had collected. After refining it, it could probably only be used to make a ring.
The metal bracelet had a natural pattern on it, and there were six indented gem bases on the inside. These should be used to activate a permanent spell. As long as it was embedded with a magic core or gem of a corresponding level, a magician above level 6 could activate this spell.
Casting a permanent spell had a high price. Different from casting normal spells, after a magician cast a permanent spell on an item, it might take one to three years to recover the magic string that was used up. In other words, casting a Level-1 Spell would actually consume the same amount of Magic Strings as casting a Level-2 Spell.
Therefore, very few magicians were willing to cast a permanent spell on others. Long-term depletion of magic string was not as simple as a decrease in combat power, it also affected the speed of further training.
For example, if Salin cast a level-one permanent spell on someone else, his magic string would immediately be reduced by half. Before the magic string recovered, his training speed would also be reduced by half. Normally, it would take two years to become a level-two magician, but casting a permanent spell would extend the time by at least a year.
This was when Salin's magic string was double that of a magician of the same level. If it was a normal level-one magician, they wouldn't even have the ability to cast a level-one permanent spell.
"What kind of spell is cast on this?" Salin held the bracelet carefully. It was as if he was facing a level-nine magician who cast a spell, with some respect.
"Level-Eight Water Mirror." Ainphent looked at the bracelet in Salin's hand, a bit reluctant.
Salin grabbed another handful of gems without hesitation and stuffed them in Ainphent's hand. The Level-8 Water Mirror could reflect damage that wasn't from spells.
Water Mirror was a spell that could be advanced, and could be learned from level-five to level-nine. Level-Eight Water Mirror could reflect spells below level-eight, and it could also reflect sword aura below the level of Silver Sword Sage. Even if this skill could only be used once, it was extremely precious. And this bracelet could be used repeatedly as long as it was embedded with a level-eight magic core.
Salin pulled Neris's hand and put the bracelet on her, saying, "Try it."
Neris put her hand on the low table and grasped a gem. A pale blue light flashed, and the gem disappeared. Seeing Ainphent's surprised expression, Salin finally understood that Ainphent didn't want to snatch the gem heart because he was afraid of Neris.
"Master, it can be used. Why don't you give me all the gems in Sicar's bag?" Neris pulled Salin's hand and acted like a spoiled child.
"And then you plan to run away?" Salin reprimanded.
"Master, we have a soul contract …" Neris's eyes were immediately filled with tears. Ainphent saw this and also felt sorry for her. This Salin didn't know how to be tender to the fairer sex!
"Hmph, just give up. I'm telling you, for the past ten thousand years, no one has been able to open the Demonic Plane! If you want to run back and cut off the soul contract, no matter how many gems you have, you can't do it! "Salin remembered his teacher's teachings and spoke to Neris bluntly.
"Master, master …" Neris burst into tears. Ainphent was stunned, not knowing what Salin said to her.
Raising a demon was really troublesome! Salin saw that Neris couldn't stop crying, so he couldn't punish her in front of Ainphent. In fact, he didn't know how to punish a demon, so he could only say gently, "Alright, Neris, don't cry. That gem is Sicar's, I can't take it by force. "
Neris sobbed, "I just want to help look after her. She can't run as fast as I can, and it seems dangerous to carry so many gems …"
"That'll have to wait until Ainphent isn't here. Neris, when there are no outsiders, I'll give you the gems."
"Really?" Neris's tears turned into laughter. She grabbed Salin's hand and shook it, looking more and more like a magic pet.
Salin's head felt a little heavy. He had a premonition that Neris's troubles had just begun. The soul contract could only guarantee Neris's loyalty to him, but it couldn't control her habits and way of thinking. But right now, he really needed a demon as a helper. Neris's combat power should be higher than Sicar's, and she could use space equipment, so he couldn't bear to give her up no matter what.
Forget it, his teacher had once said to him, for everything a person has, they must pay an equal price. It seemed that this was also a maxim that every mage should understand.
What was the price of having Neris? Salin couldn't think of it, at least it wouldn't be more than the price of getting the magic string.
