Tesla was only a level-1 apprentice, and he only had 150 magic crystals on him. There was also the team's public money, so there was no way he would pay 300 magic crystals.
"Fine, fine, fine. I'll remember you! Just you wait! " Tesla had never felt so humiliated in his life. Not only was he slapped in the face, but he was also exposed. Even his beliefs were trampled on. He believed that he had more money than his peers, but today, he was beaten by a kid who was at the same level as him. How could he be happy about that?
Tesla was about to turn around and leave after spitting out some harmless harsh words.
Prome suddenly spoke up, "You mean the purification garden in Floating Mech City is going to be opened?"
Prome's words made Tesla and Quina stop moving. Their eyes flickered, and they looked a little guilty.
"I think the questing hall already announced it when I came here," said Prome. A group of apprentices rushed into Prome's Alchemy Shop from afar.
They were led by a man who was also wearing luxurious clothes. However, Tesla's clothes were only for decoration, while this man was wearing a real wizard robe. He quickly bought all kinds of alchemy weapons on the counter and handed them to his apprentices behind him. They swept away all the weapons on display, including the Chinese cleaver.
Suddenly, the man noticed the scythe in the glass case, and his eyes lit up.
"How much is it?" The man asked anxiously while staring at Tesla's group cautiously. He was afraid that they would take the scythe away.
"Four hundred magic crystals," Angor said without batting an eyelid.
Everyone widened their eyes at the price. In just a few minutes, Angor raised the price by another hundred magic crystals! Was this really not a scam? It was four times more expensive than Tesla's price!
Everyone secretly glanced at Tesla. If someone would buy it even if the price was four times higher … Then, wouldn't Tesla be humiliating himself by making a fuss just now?
The man frowned and muttered, "Not bad." Then he took out his bone card and paid 40,000 merit points without hesitation.
Four hundred magic crystals, and it was cash! Including the other alchemy weapons he had bought, the luxurious man had spent more than 600 magic crystals!
It was a price that everyone found hard to believe. Even Prome, who was used to big events, couldn't help but cast sidelong glances at the man.
Tesla recalled the time when he yelled at Angor, "You don't want to sell, do you?" Angor offered 300 magic crystals. In the blink of an eye, someone bought the scythe for 400 magical crystals without even bargaining. To him, this was definitely a slap in the face, even worse than the previous slap in the face!
Tesla's face was flushed with embarrassment.
Queena, who was standing next to him, looked embarrassed. She had previously supported Tesla, saying that "Tesla's" reason "was unimaginably great."
Hehe, it was truly unimaginably huge. Kunna was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to jump into. She looked at Tesla with a trace of resentment.
On the other side, after the deal was done, the luxurious man played with the sickle in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was.
"Hahahaha, I got lucky today! With this sickle, reaching the top of the Sky Tower will be no problem! "The man laughed loudly. Reaching the top of the Sky Tower was not that difficult. Normally, level-three apprentices would not come here. A level-two apprentice with a tiered alchemy weapon might be able to reach the top, not to mention the fact that he was quite talented himself.
Angor looked at the man who sold him the sickle gratefully. "I'll remember you. If you need any help, just mention my name — Ramanbell!"
Just like Tesla, Ramanbell also said "I'll remember you" to Angor because of the same thing. However, the two words meant different things.
Ramanbell bought the sickle for 400 magic crystals, and he still acted like he got a bargain. He even thanked the seller on the spot. Angor sold it to Tesla for 300 magic crystals, and he still got scolded. Comparing the two, it was obvious how unkind Tesla was.
Tesla's face turned from red to black. He even wanted to run away right now. But that would only embarrass him even more.
"Thank you. I'm Angor." Angor nodded slightly.
After getting the sickle, Ramanbell did not waste any time and left right away.
When he walked past Fosah and Laffitte, he saw the Tang knives in their hands. He curled his lips and did not say anything. However, when he walked past Tesla and Queena and saw their empty hands, Ramanbell could not help but mock them. "Poor bastards."
Under the watchful eyes of the apprentices, Tesla and Queena did not dare to talk back.
Ramanbell laughed loudly and led his followers away in high spirits. Just like how he came, they disappeared at the end of the street like clouds of dust.
After Ramanbell left, the shop remained silent for a while.
Several seconds later, someone laughed.
"Poor bastards? Hahahaha, what a great show today! "Fosah's face was fat to begin with, and he was laughing so hard that his eyes could not be seen.
Laffitte gave Tesla a disdainful look. "Look at that guy. Angor was kind enough to lower the price, but he got a bargain and now he's blaming the seller for being unkind. Who's the unkind one here? Pretending to be rich when you have no money? What a joke! "
Tesla was not in the mood to argue with them. He had already suffered so much today that he could barely control himself. Especially when Ramanbell mocked him for being a "poor bastard". He felt like his belief had been shattered.
"Hmph! Why aren't you leaving? What are you doing here? To keep humiliating yourself? "Queena did not have time to care about other people's mockery. She dragged Tesla away. Before leaving, she gave Angor a meaningful glance. Her gaze was as cunning and vicious as a viper's.
After they left, David laughed loudly and said, "That's right.
"Angor, you're so cool this time! Too bad they're just some unimportant people. If only Naru was here. "
"Wasn't I cool before?" Angor raised an eyebrow.
"You're cool too!" Dave cheered.
However, Dave still sounded a little worried. "That woman left a scary look in her eyes. I'm guessing they already hate you. "
Angor waved a hand. "Fine. As long as they don't mess with me, I'll let them go. Provoking me? Haha. "
Fosah stepped forward and bowed to Angor. "Thank you so much. If you didn't help us, we would have lost face. Also, if we couldn't finish our mission, we'd have to find another place to stay."
Fosah glanced at Angor carefully when he mentioned "changing docks".
Angor quickly refused. "I'm not helping you. Please don't misunderstand. If you don't have anything else to say, just turn left. "
Fosah wanted to ask where Angor got the two alchemy weapons, but since Angor refused so blatantly, and he wanted to maintain a good relationship with Angor, he forced a smile and left with Laffitte.
"Master, what do you mean by the garden of purification? Why is everyone running here to buy alchemy weapons? It's unbelievable that someone is willing to buy it for 400 magic crystals, "David asked.
Prome chuckled. "You should ask Angor. He knew about it way before we did. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the Sky Tower. Am I right? "
Angor chuckled and told Dave about the Sky Tower and the garden of purification.
"No wonder you told me to wait for a month and a half. You knew the price would go up one day," Dave said.
Dave didn't mind that Angor didn't tell him beforehand. Even if Angor did, he wouldn't be able to reach the top anyway.
They talked for a while about what had just happened. Prome couldn't help but cut to the chase.
"Angor, did you … find a rune that can restrain undead creatures?" Prome asked expectantly.
"I didn't find anything that can only restrain undead creatures," Angor said.
Prome's eyes dimmed a little, but Angor's next words gave him hope again.
"But I found a magic array that can restrain undead creatures. It's called 'Prelude to Elimination'. Have you heard of it? "
Prelude to Elimination? Prome thought for a moment and shook his head with a bitter smile. "I don't know much about runes or enchantments, let alone magic arrays. I only know some common ones. As for the one you just mentioned, I've never heard of it before. "
"Angor, you've learned how to enchant magic arrays?"
As far as Dave was concerned, a magic array enchanted item had to be at least a mid-tier or even a high-tier item. If Angor could really craft one, wouldn't that mean he was as good as Master Prome, or even better?
Prome looked at Angor curiously as well.
"I don't know if I can do it or not, but I've tried it myself. I don't know if I can learn it or not. The biggest problem for me right now is that I don't have enough mana. How am I supposed to draw magic arrays without enough mana? "Angor left a lot of space for himself. He could solve all the problems one by one.
"You're right. You don't have enough mana right now. Even if you can learn it, it'll take you a long time to draw a magic array." Prome sighed. "I guess I'll have to go to the Wizard Fair and try my luck."
"Is there really no way to solve this problem?" Angor asked. "Magic arrays aside, I've failed to draw many runes because I don't have enough mana."
Prome pondered for a moment. "If you want to solve your mana problem, there's a way. The simplest and most direct way is to burn money. You can use magic crystals as your energy source. "
Angor knew that magic crystals could be used as energy sources for alchemy items. However …
"Isn't the mana contained in magic crystals primal mana? Primal mana needs to be converted once it enters my body. I don't have enough time, "Angor wondered.
