"Sir, it seems you are quite knowledgeable about magic arrays. You can actually tell that this is a Grandmaster Magic Array," Harold said, chuckling. Chuckling, he continued, "If you are interested in magic arrays, we just happen to have a few magic array designs for sale. I believe you will be satisfied."
"You're actually selling magic array designs?" Shifeng's eyes widened in surprise. He hurriedly turned to Harold and asked.
Magic arrays were one of God's Domain's top secrets. Normally, players couldn't purchase them. At most, they could purchase some harmless Magic Array Scrolls or learn some basic knowledge about magic arrays from the library. Normally, players wouldn't have the opportunity to come into contact with magic array designs and create them.
Previously, Shifeng had only obtained the Nine-star Polar Domain Magic Array Design after completing an Epic Quest.
He had never imagined that the Golden Sands Exchange Shop's second floor would actually allow players to purchase magic array designs.
If Shifeng had known that he could purchase magic array designs in the past, he would've sold everything he had to become a member of the Golden Sands Exchange Shop.
Magic arrays might not have much of an effect on players during the early stages of the game, but as players reached higher levels, magic arrays would have a greater impact on players. This was especially true for Guilds.
Normally, only elite players would be of any use in a Guild war. Ordinary players would only be suicidal if they participated in a Guild war. They wouldn't even be able to afford the Guild's losses.
However, as players' understanding of magic arrays increased, magic arrays became more versatile.
Take large-scale AOE Spells for example. A single magical class player might not be able to cast an extremely powerful Spell, but a powerful magic array could gather the Mana of a dozen, dozens, or even hundreds of magical class players to cast a Spell with immense destructive power. Meanwhile, creating and drawing such a magic array was far easier than creating Tier 4 or even Tier 3 large-scale destruction Magic Scrolls.
Because of this, even after reaching the late stages of God's Domain, ordinary players could still be of considerable use in large-scale battles involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of players. This would depend on the various large Guilds' research on magic arrays.
Meanwhile, if one wished to research magic arrays, the first thing one needed was a sufficient number of magic array designs.
Hence, the various large Guilds desperately collected all kinds of magic array designs.
If he could obtain the blueprint for a large-scale group magic array right now, the Ling YI Society would no longer have to fear any Guild.
Current players simply couldn't contend with such large-scale AOE Spells. At the very least, they'd need a Tier 4 Great Wizard to contend with them.
"Sir, don't you want to consider the five items recommended by our store?" Harold asked with a look of pity.
Glancing at the five glass counters before him, Shifeng shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I think magic arrays are more attractive to me."
As Harold had said, the five items in the glass cabinet were absolute treasures.
There was even an Epic ranked staff.
But the price was really hard to accept. The things in the exchange center were already much more expensive than the outside world. Unless they had a special need, who would be willing to be a sucker? Get slaughtered by Harold for fun?
In the past, a total of six Tier 5 players had tried to rob the Exchange Shop for a reason. The price was simply too high, far exceeding the market price. Hence, they had taken the risk. Only, in the end, they had failed.
In the outside world, Harold had another title.
He was a Black-Hearted Merchant!
Hence, unless the items were extremely valuable or urgently needed, nobody would be willing to exchange for them. Because of this, very few players could become members of the Exchange Shop. Practically all of them had become members by accumulating Ancient Fragments.
Among the five items, even the cheapest one cost 24,000 Magic Crystals, while the most expensive one cost 52,000 Magic Crystals. That was the staff that radiated a black-and-white glow. If converted to Coins, that staff would be worth 13000 Gold!
Shifeng definitely wouldn't be willing to accept such a price. If the price was only one or two thousand Gold higher than the market price, he might consider it.
Seeing that Shifeng wasn't interested in the five items, Harold gave up on the idea of promoting them. Instead, he led Shifeng to a small corner of the hall.
There were three small glass cabinets in the corner of the room, each containing a thick, golden book. These books contained the diagrams of magic arrays.
"May I know if you are satisfied, sir?" Harold asked, smiling.
Although the magic array designs weren't as valuable as the five items, they were still above average among the various items.
Among the three magic array designs, the cheapest one cost 8,000 Magic Crystals. It was called the Thirteen Totem Pillars, and it was a Basic Suppression Magic Array that required 13 magical class players to activate. It was extremely effective in Dungeons and killing single-target Bosses in the fields. Among Basic Magic Arrays, it was one of the best.
The second book cost 12,000 Magic Crystals. It was a Double Protection Barrier Magic Array. Although it was also a Basic Magic Array, its standard was much higher. It only required 100 magical class players to construct a defensive magic array that could block all external damage. It was a top-tier Basic Magic Array.
The last book was also the most valuable, costing 24,000 Magic Crystals. It was called Divine Beast's Descent. It gathered the Mana of 88 Summoners to summon a Divine Beast to do battle for them. It was an above average Intermediate Magic Array.
If he sold it, he could still make a fortune.
As expected of the exchange office! It actually has an Intermediate Magic Array! Shifeng was inwardly astonished.
Basic Magic Array Designs were very common in God's Domain. However, after reaching Intermediate Magic Array Designs, they were extraordinarily rare. Even large Guilds would struggle to obtain one, yet the exchange shop actually had one. This was truly surprising.
Although the Divine Beast's Descent Magic Array was far more valuable than the market price, it was still very useful in Guild wars.
The Nine-star Polar Domain was an Intermediate Magic Array. It was a sealing and suppression-type magic array. In a battle between players, it would only be effective in narrow and dangerous terrain. Its main purpose was to weaken Shockwaves. It was practically useless in sieges and battles in the vast open plains.
However, the Divine Beast's Descent Magic Array was a summoning magic array. It could summon a powerful monster to do battle. It was similar to a Summoning Scroll. Only, the conditions to use it were much harsher. It required 88 Summoners to maintain the magic array. If the magic array was disrupted, the summoned creature would disappear immediately. More importantly, it was very expensive.
Even so, it was still a very powerful war tool. After all, the effects ordinary players could achieve with the magic array were so small that they were practically negligible. However, if these ordinary players gathered their strength and transformed it into a powerful force, it would be a frightening feat. After all, the majority of players in the game were ordinary players.
