Chapter 66 The Black Market Merchant in the Corner
Spell books are specially made. If you go to the Magic Union to buy it, you will need a gold coin for a page of the magic book. It will cost extra money to copy the spells. Therefore, compared to going to the Magic Union to buy brand new spell books, Green would rather go to the old market to buy second-hand spell books.
As a player, Green doesn't mind spending a lot of money on his followers to make good-looking, but Green is very stingy with himself. Anyway, for players, there is not much difference between the first-hand magic books of the Mage Union and the second-hand magic books of the old market - they are all whiteboards.
After shopping around the market, Green bought a pair of second-hand shooter gloves and put them on his hand, and replaced the bandages used to hide the magic of guns and cannons on the back of his left hand. However, he still didn't buy the magic book that was satisfied with - either the price was too expensive or the damage was too serious, and there were only a few magic books with useful value.
Just then, Green noticed a man with a cape sitting in a dark corner. There were some weapons and equipment that looked good in front of him, including a small black notebook that looked a bit like a spell book.
The man in the cloak is very remote, giving people the feeling of deliberately avoiding the people around him, which makes him look a little unique in this downtown.
Green thought for a while, walked towards the cape man, squatted down, and picked up the small black notebook and opened it. There was no word on the notebook, but the faint magic power emitted from the paper was able to confirm that the book in front of him was indeed a magic book.
"Well~ Twenty-four pages of spell book, how much does it cost?"
The cape man glanced at Green and said slowly: "This book is for those who are destined to be."
Green raised his eyebrows and threw the book back to the book stall: "Everyone should have less routine and more sincerity. I'm not a rookie who just left, you've found the wrong target."
Such a saying can fool the rookie adventurer who is destined to be a family treasure. If you encounter such a thing, a rookie adventurer will think you have encountered the beginning of a legendary story, but you will buy back a lot of garbage at a high price. Not only NPC adventurers are like this, but many players have been fooled by the game just now, thinking that they have encountered some "hidden missions", but they were cheated by NPC and only had a pair of underwear left.
As an old player, Green naturally would not be fooled like this.
The man in cape lowered his head and remained silent.
Green didn't care about the silence of the cape man.
"I want to buy a spell book. I think you should have a second-hand spell book with "no owner" here, right?" Grin deliberately emphasized the accent on the word "no owner". Most of these guys who set up stalls on the street are members of the local thief union. They are very good at disguising and faketing, and usually work part-time on the sales of stolen goods.
After hearing Green's words, the cape man finally confirmed that he had met someone who knew what he knew. He obviously looked like a young man, but it turned out to be an old bird. The cape man felt that business was getting harder and harder recently.
"I have really obtained two masterless spell books recently." Since it is an old bird, it's meaningless.
"show me."
The cape man stood up, pulled out two spell books from the box under his butt, and handed one to Green.
Green took the spell book and took a look...
Nine zero rings, four one rings, one second ring, and three unused blank pages. All spells can be recognized by the system and can be directly acquired through skill points. That's right! The spell book that makes the twelve spells wrong nine squares is simply a joke.
"Price?" Green looked up at the cape man.
"Sixty gold coins."
Green: "...I would rather go to the Mage Union for this price!"
"This is a twenty-four-page spell book! If you go to the Mage Union, a blank spell book costs more than twenty gold coins, and there are also the spells copied on it. The spell transcription price of the Mage Union is one gold coin, one-ring hardware coin, and two-ring twenty gold coins! This is a spell book that copied the spells of the second-ring spell. The spell book plus fourteen spells, only sold for 60 gold coins in total, which is very cheap."
"What you are talking about is the price of non-union members, and the price of union members is cheaper. And the price of spell books customized according to their own situation is equal? Moreover, I can copy many spells in the book myself, and I don't have to spend money at all. And look at what spells have been copied in this book? I know language, arcane sensitivity, mage craftsmanship, identification techniques, and the only second-ring spell is an item positioning technique, which can only be used to find lost objects? What's the use of learning these spells? I can tear down the four pages of the second-ring spell to you. Or a gold coin, sell the three blank pages in the next three pages."
The man in cape stared at Green for a long time: "Fifty gold coins! No more missing."
"Well... twenty, no more."
The cape man was silent for a while, reached out and snatched the spell book from Greene, and handed another thinner spell book to Greene: "Look at this one, this one is cheaper."
Green glanced at the spell book and felt that he was in a bad mood: "Damn it! Isn't this the spell book I was robbed??"
"Hmph! You said it was yours?" The cloaked man glared at Greene rudely, but his actions made people feel that he was a little lacking in confidence.
Green looked at the man in front of him jokingly: "If you don't even do the most basic disguise, you will take out the stolen goods and sell them. In the end, the original owner discovered it. Such a stupid person must not be a believer of the Lord of Shadows. Should we go to the temple to conduct lies identification? See if I am really the owner of this magic book?"
The man with a cape turned gloomy.
"Five gold coins, I took this book." Green did not continue to make things difficult for the other party. He took out five gold coins and handed it over, "I think you should have no objection to this price, right?" Although this magic book originally belonged to Green, Green did not want to make the relationship with the Thieves Union too stiff, so Green took the initiative to make concessions - after all, Green will do business with them sooner or later.
The man in cape hesitated for a while, without saying a word, and reached out to take the money.
"Okay, don't be stern, at least your wealth has indeed increased. Although there have been some minor mistakes, at least the result is good. You have not violated the teachings of the God of Shadow."
The man in the cape smelled a stinking face: "Is there anything else?"
"There is a saying in my hometown: There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I don't think I have no conflict of interests." Green looked at the cloaked man's box with a smile, "I don't think you will refuse the business that comes to your door, right?"
Cloaked man: "...what else do you want to buy?"
"I want a map." Greenton paused, "I want a high-precision map of the Sea of Curses, the kind that can be used for spell positioning, not the kind of sketches that are adventure unions or merchant unions."
