Granny Coco's Box
"Granny Coco's Box …" Angor muttered. "Granny Coco … Why does it sound so familiar?"
Angor ignored the deja vu and kept reading.
According to the description, the box was neither a treasure nor a clue to a Mystery item. It was an extremely rare item.
A Gourmet item.
In other words, it was a Gourmet tool.
Inside the box, there was a very wonderful ritual called "Sweet Wind, Honey Fire, Sugar Spreading Life".
When the user activated the ritual, they would cast a food-creating spell to enhance the effect of the food they ate.
The so-called food-creating spells were spells such as Mana Bread, Milk Brewing, and others that could create food out of thin air.
To put it simply, the box could turn unpalatable food into tasty food, tasty food into even better food, and buff food would also become more effective.
In short, it was a useful item for Gourmet Wizards.
However, for Adepts of other elements, this tool was rather useless.
The black-robed man seemed to know that the item was useless. He waited for Angor to finish reading. "The items on the list are only a part of it. There are more that I can't put on the list. If you have any special needs, please feel free to tell me. Maybe I have something you need … "
The black-robed man waited for Angor's reply, but Angor did not say anything for a long time.
He looked up and saw Angor still staring at the picture of the box as if he was thinking about something.
The black-robed man was surprised. Was this guy not only an alchemist but also a rare Gourmet Wizard?
Why else would he keep looking at the box?
However, the black-robed man was wrong. Angor was not looking at the box. Instead, he was looking at the name of the box: Granny Coco.
When he first saw the name, he already felt that it looked familiar. He just didn't think too much about it.
When he realized that the box was actually a Gourmet item, some memories hidden deep inside his memory box surfaced in his mind.
Angor read many records about the origin world in Cuolo's Chronicles.
He also learned a lot about the origin world from Froste and the Watcher.
Therefore, he had some knowledge about the organizations in the origin world.
As far as he knew, there was a supernova organization in the origin world called "Milk Spring Village". This organization was similar to the Candy House in the southern wizardry region. Gourmet Wizards were lucky, but the organization was much bigger. It was a "holy land" for Gourmet Wizards.
The Milk Spring Village had a rule passed down from generation to generation. The leader of each generation would place his name in front of the Milk Spring Village as the real name of the village.
The current manager of the Milk Spring Village was Coco Roja.
Milk Spring Village was also known as "Coco's Milk Spring Village".
"Coco" was. "
He recognized the box because of the name "Coco" on it.
"Coco" was "was a name," Coco "name" Coco ". was a name. was name. name name name. was name name name, Coco name.
Coco name Coco name. Coco name Coco name, or Coco name, Coco name.
"Are you interested in the box, sir?" The black-robed man spoke again. . "This item is very useful for Gourmet Wizards —"
"I'm not a Gourmet Wizard," Angor interrupted.
Why are you so interested in this crappy box if you're not a Gourmet Wizard?
"Don't worry. It's fine if you're not a Gourmet Wizard. As long as you've learned food-related cantrips or spells, you can use this item to help you."
Gourmet Wizards had many low-level cantrips that could be used to create food. Many Gourmet Wizards who loved good food would choose to learn more.
If Angor learned something similar, the box would be useful to him as well.
The Coco gave Angor a curious look. Angor considered for a moment. "I did learn a Gourmet Cantrip, but —"
Angor suddenly stopped.
The black-robed man and even Laplace looked over curiously. "But … what?"
Angor's eyes lost focus for a moment. He covered his mouth and cleared his throat. "Nothing."
Next, he looked at the Coco. "You got this box from Milk Spring Village?"
"Milk Spring Village?" The Coco looked at Angor in confusion. "What's that name? Is it a place?"
Angor noticed the same thing from the Coco's expression, which meant the Coco did not know about Milk Spring Village.
"Can I ask about the origin of this Secret Ritual Box?"
Angor felt a little impolite, so he added, "I mean, I'm quite interested in this box. It should have a normal background, right? I don't want to get into any trouble after buying it. "
"You're interested in the box?" asked Laplace, who was standing beside Angor. "You're interested in it?"
Angor nodded.
He was indeed interested in the box, mainly because of the name "Coco". If he was not mistaken, the box might have something to do with the Milk Spring Village's ruler.
Even if he did not need it, he knew Greya. If he gave it to Greya, he might be able to get something better in return.
If the price was right, Angor would not hesitate to buy it.
Apart from this, Angor also had another reason. He wanted to see what the Coco wanted from him.
The Coco was being too nice to him, and Angor did not believe that the Coco would do this for no reason.
So he decided to buy something to test the black-robed man's opinion.
Of course, if the Coco's request was too unreasonable, Angor could give up on buying the box. After all, the box did not have any direct use to him. Just like the "Sea Cave's Aura", he could only use it to trade with someone else.
Laplace did not know what Angor was thinking. He only thought Angor was interested in a gourmet item because he was greedy for good food.
It was normal. Even the Wise Man liked to eat, let alone human wizards. As far as Laplace knew, the Wise Man often asked Big Treasure and Little Treasure to bring him meat from the outside world.
The Coco did not expect Angor to really want the box. "Don't worry, there won't be any trouble. I've kept this item for more than 200 years. There's nothing wrong with it. "
The Coco did not think Angor would believe him, so he added, "I found it in a ruin. It was buried with a corpse. Its owner is already dead, so there won't be any trouble. "
"Are you sure the owner of the box is the same as the corpse in the ruin?" Angor asked.
The Coco shook his head. "I'm not sure. But that's all I know. It's not in my interest to go further, and I don't have the ability to do so."
The black-robed man sounded sincere, and Angor understood that it was pointless to ask further about the source.
Angor considered. "Since the owner of the box was already a corpse, how did you know it was called 'Granny Coco's Box'? Or did you come up with the name yourself? "
"There was a handwritten note on the corpse, which recorded some tips on how to use the box. But it didn't mention where the box came from. "
"That's all." Angor considered. "Now, let's talk about the price —"
Before Angor could ask about the price, he heard Luigi's voice. "Hey, you want to buy this?"
When he looked back, he saw Luigi standing beside him and looking at the list. Luigi had just finished reading the music score and was now looking at the list.
"The aura of the Sea Cave … Spiral-Patterned Fruit …" Luigi muttered. "What are these things? You want to buy Granny Cocoa's secret instrument box? Isn't it a Gourmet item? You're not a Gourmet … "
"I'm not a Gourmet, but I know a few Gourmet cantrips."
Luigi gave Angor a doubtful look, but he did not ask further. Instead, he turned to the black-robed man and asked, "How much for them?"
The Coco looked at the sheet in Luigi's hand and didn't say anything. He looked at Angor and asked, "Do you want to pay together?"
Luigi frowned and was about to say something when Angor cut him off. "It's not the final stage yet, is it? We haven't seen the real thing yet. We just want to know the price before we decide. "
The Coco also realized that he was being too impatient. He chuckled awkwardly. "I'm being too impatient. It's just that I haven't sold anything yet."
Angor nodded. "Why don't you tell us the price first and we'll see if it's suitable?"
The black-robed man was silent for a moment. He pointed at the two music sheets in Luigi's hands and said, "These two music sheets have a great origin. They are hymns of a Transcendent religion. One of the music sheets involves a special secret."
Luigi frowned. "You're just trying to raise the price, aren't you? Just tell us the price already. "
The Coco shook his head. "No, I'm not trying to raise the price. I just want to tell you that if you play this sheet outside, you might attract the attention of that particular religion. It's just a friendly reminder. "
Luigi shrugged. "It's not a problem for me. I'm not going to the real world anyway."
Luigi knew that these sheets of music came from outside the mirror domain.
There was no religion in the Sun Mirror Domain.
The Coco smiled. "You're right. As long as you don't leave the mirror domain, it's fine. Then I will bid. These two music scores are the Filthy Blood Purification Tune and the Dark Alley Scripture. The former is twenty crystals, while the latter is related to a secret instrument, so it is slightly more expensive. It is two hundred crystals. "
Two music scores only cost 220 condensed crystals.
As far as Angor knew about the price of goods in the Sun Mirror Domain, this was a reasonable price. One had to know that when he first came to Hot Gold City, the price of the first item he asked for was as high as fifty thousand crystals.
And that item was a "heavy" mirror.
These sheets of music were not as good as the mirror, but they were not expensive.
However, considering that these sheets of music were just ordinary sheets of music, they were a bit expensive. In the real world, these sheets of music could be bought with gold coins.
However, the mirror domain and the real world were two different things. Besides, the Coco Master brought these sheets of music to the party and found a "buyer who wanted them", so it was normal for the price to be higher.
This was also within the range of normal.
As Angor expected, Luigi wanted to buy the sheets of music without hesitation when he heard the price was only 220 crystals.
This price was indeed very cheap. One had to know that the music scores he bought in the Tooth Immortal Ancient Ruins started at a thousand crystals. Not to mention that he could not even find what he wanted.
These two sheets of music were obviously religious, and they were his favorite. They were also cheaper than the ones from Tooth Immortal Ruins. He did not even bother to negotiate.
The Coco Master did not accept the crystals right away. Instead, he smiled and said, "You can pay together later. Maybe you won't need so many crystals."
The Coco Master seemed to be implying something.
Luigi did not understand. He thought the Coco Master meant a discount. Of course, he agreed.
Angor, on the other hand, knew that the Coco Master was trying to tell him something.
The Coco Master knew that Angor saw through his efforts, so he did not try to hide it. He "hinted" that he could use "another" method when paying the bill.
Angor smiled but did not say anything. He looked at the Coco Master and asked, "How about this box? How much do you want with magic crystals? "
Angor pointed at "magic crystals".
The Coco Master frowned. "Twenty thousand."
Before Angor could say anything, Luigi frowned and said, "That's too much. He's not a Gourmet Wizard …"
The black-robed Tansy said, "I'm selling this to gourmet wizards, so the price is set for gourmet wizards. I can't change the price just because a non-Gourmet Wizard wants to buy it, can I? "
"Besides, it's not expensive even for a Gourmet Wizard." The Coco Master looked at Angor again. "What do you think, dear customer?"
Angor did not deny it. "It's not expensive at all. In fact, I think it's much cheaper."
Judging from the effect of the box, a Gourmet Wizard could easily sell it for a hundred thousand crystals, or even more.
Gourmet Adepts were the wealthiest of the non-technical professions in the World of Adepts.
Just look at Greya. She earned a lot of money just by learning Gourmet Spells. She was not short of money at all. If the box was put up for auction, Greya might even bid for it with half of her wealth.
Angor chuckled. "There's a reason why it's expensive, and there's a reason why it's cheap, right? There must be some flaws that are not on the list, right? "
The Coco Master nodded. "You do know your stuff. There are some flaws in the box."
The Coco Master gestured for Angor to wait for a moment. He walked to the box and took out a box from the blood-red mist.
From the outside, it was a porcelain box with a gothic rose pattern.
It was not big enough for Angor to hold with both hands.
Unlike ordinary boxes, there was a small hole in each of the four corners of the box. There were four symbols above the holes.
The dancing orange flames, the tranquil blue water, the spiraling pink wind, and the small green vines.
If these symbols were elemental icons, they would represent the wind, water, fire, and nature elements respectively.
But what was the point of these symbols?
