Chapter 77: Weighing on the catty 2 selling things
Ever since seeing the patriarch's ring, Courtoline couldn't take her eyes off it. She did not expect that the Marquis of Mesaros would die in such a place; she did not expect that the ring representing the power of the elders was within reach.
The outstretched hand trembled slightly, and Kautaolin desperately suppressed her excitement, and only then, in the feeling that everything was so unreal, grasped the patriarch's ring and picked it up.
Looking at the patriarch's ring lying quietly in the flattened palm, Courtoline felt the mysterious power running in the ring, accompanied by the call from the abyss. For the dark race, it is like a delicious delicacy that makes people unable to extricate themselves.
It is said that the ring of the patriarch came from a certain dark god, who was still walking in the world and had not yet ignited the divine fire. It is a veritable artifact. After he ignited the divine fire, he bequeathed the ring to his servants at that time. After picking up the ring, Courtoline believed such rumors.
But what makes it more valuable lies in the power of the clan patriarch and elder seat. Although there is no shock of the identity of the ancients, it may not be able to command other subordinates in the clan, but the ring can open the place where treasures are hidden, and these treasures are the real source of clan cohesion. Perhaps not having the status of an ancient would make the power of the elders slightly weaker, but it was still superior to most blood races, and could even get rid of the restrictions of the first-time supporters.
With all these advantages, Kao Taolin wanted to hold this ring, go far away, develop her own power, and then come back to attend the elders. In the end, love for Dorothy overwhelmed unnecessary ambition. The patriarch's ring is more effective in the hands of the loved one and her father. After all, I am a warrior, a sword and a shield.
Clarifying her thoughts, Courtoline asked calmly: "Your Excellency, may I ask if I can take this ring as evidence and bring it back to my master."
Lin said without hesitation: "Of course not."
"What, but you just now..."
"I didn't promise anything just now, I just let you look for it. Anyway, this is my spoils of war, how could it be possible for you to take it away for nothing. Or do you want to take 'The Blood Race Will Revenge Me' again, or Reasons like 'someone will come to **** this ring' make me give up."
Suppressing the unhappiness and resentment welling up in her throat, Courtoline tried her best to keep her voice calm, and said, "Then I don't know what price you want to trade this ring."
what price? Lin was taken aback by this question.
Since the other party came to the door regardless of their lives just to find this ring, it must be a good thing. The question is to what extent is the good stuff? Is it useful to me? Especially the latter.
If the items are blessed or cursed through a certain ritual, they all have one thing in common, that is, there will be a boss behind them. Praying to the gods, trading with demons, or using an undead for a curse means that the holder will inevitably deal with these existences. If it is in line with the boss's wishes, then there will be great blessings; if it is not right with the boss, then good things will turn into bad things.
To use the terminology that Julin played online games when he was on Earth, these things are tied to race, occupation, and belief. And the more powerful the item, the heavier the restriction. So compared to whether this thing is good or not, whether you can use it is more important.
If you turn against the other party and insist on keeping this ring but can only look at it and not use it, then it is better to exchange some useful benefits. But at what price?
Thinking of this, Lin felt helpless again.
Think about the other cross-travelers, all of them are making money, making money, making money, making steel, building ships and distributing gunpowder. Traveling across with bare hands, you can also conquer a large area, and integrate the essence of the four-character harem stallion into your daily life. Why is it my turn, I have made a little more money, and I feel dazzling in the eyes of those big bosses, and there are countless crooked melons staring at me.
If he made a lot of money by relying on these things, and his reputation leaked out, he would have another headache for a long time. Even if you don't sell them, just cover them up and let them rot, the principle of "carrying a jade is a crime", the ancestors said thousands of years ago, how could I not understand it.
With a long sigh, Lin looked at the frightened female vampire and said, "How many Kiels (gold coins) do you have?"
Originally, because of a sigh, Kao Taolin thought that this time the matter would fall through, she took out the purse in her arms in puzzlement, and said, "That's all."
"Well, put the money down, and you can take the things away."
Kautaolin, who had been keeping calm all this time, could no longer control her expression. She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then raised her face, handed out the money bag in her hand, and said, "Then this is the deal, Your Excellency."
Lin was a little discouraged, shook his hand, did not take the purse, and said, "Put it on the shelf next to it."
"Then, Your Excellency, what about the other things?" Kao Taolin asked about the disposal of the other treasures, feeling a bit like chasing after the victory. It is necessary to take back as much as possible before the tower owner understands the value of these items.
"At that time, you can negotiate with my apprentice. There are so many things, if you plan to take them all away, it is impossible to move them back in broad daylight by yourself."
"The price of the transaction?"
"Sell by weight, I Carlo (kg) I Kiel (gold). That's it." After speaking, Lin took off the control helmet and climbed back to his bed to catch up on sleep. However, the clone on the first floor walked towards the stairwell according to the established pattern, and gradually faded and disappeared.
Kao Taolin was left standing alone in the weapon room, feeling confused. Does the tower owner really not know the value of these things? Or did it on purpose, just to humiliate others and mock the blood race? Or...or do you really not care? That's why I called out this casual price.
She didn't think about the transaction that violated the ring of the patriarch, she didn't take back the money bag she put down, and she didn't take a few more items from the pile. It's not that she didn't think about it, maybe when she comes back next time, the tower owner will overturn today's statement and raise the price of these things to an unacceptable level. But what can be done, the two parties are not on an equal footing in negotiations.
Just after walking out of the door of the weapons room, two girls roared past. Grabbing the neck hair of the big dog sitting at the door, he rolled over and got on the dog's back. Immediately, the two of them, two dogs, rode Juechen and rushed into the forest, completely ignoring the guests who were still in the tower.
…Cautarine continues to be messy. The tower master went back to the third floor, the two apprentices left, and the two domesticated monsters also left. The empty city was released on the first floor, leaving only myself alone. But to be honest, she really didn't dare to think beyond the bounds. In this tower, it is too easy to kill vampires.
Hide the patriarch's ring close to your body. Courtoline didn't dare to put the ring on her finger, for fear of being caught in the sweet temptation and bewildered. Putting the hood back on, she hurriedly left the Tower of the Great Sage. Report what you see and hear to your master as soon as possible. This tower is not just ferocious, but ferocious to the point of lawlessness.
After that, Courtoline did not visit again, and the pile of loot was still ignored. The Tower of the Great Sage ushered in a rare peace, and the residents of the small town outside the tower also seemed to be content, no longer as undercurrents as they were when the Frankish King's Royal Revival Army was there, and they were always frightened.
The three masters and apprentices thought they would usher in a moment of peace, but because of a temporary decision, they temporarily put aside the unimportant matters at hand and devoted themselves to the busy preparation work. Of course, it is not accurate to say that this decision was a temporary idea, because it was something that would have to be done sooner or later.
It has been two and a half years since the relevant magic of the three systems including the browser was handed over. One of the conditions for magicians to receive subsidies from the association is to hand in at least one new spell every three years to show that they are continuing to research and improve. Count the time, and the deadline is almost here.
The second is that it took more than two years for the two girls to pass the first-round apprenticeship assessment. The formal second-ring assessment period is also three years. But the reason why they did not go to the first round of assessment before the deadline was because there was no good cultivation at that time.
Although the Tower of the Great Sage was disliked by everyone at the beginning, it is a magic tower after all. Not any magician who wants to be stationed is allowed to enter. Instead, they need to spend a sum of money in exchange for the qualification to enter the association. It has the same meaning as buying a house, but what you buy is only the right of residence, not ownership. It cannot be traded privately, and of course it cannot be passed on to future generations.
At that time, in order to save the fee for the qualification to stay in the pagoda, Lin took two apprentices almost non-stop to take risks and make money, and he also saved money on food and expenses. It is conceivable that not many resources will be invested in training two apprentices.
Knowledge is imparted by a campfire, or in a drafty room in a dilapidated inn in the country; practice is entirely in actual combat. Facing the goblins who were attacking with a big stick, the magic would not work, and the result would be that their lives would be lost.
But the environment at that time was far from comparable to the current life in the Great Sage's Tower. With plenty of money~www.readwn.com~ Lin did not continue to save on the meditation resources that accumulate mana and power, but instead used good things as much as possible. Not only has the third meditation room been established, but the open-air hot spring pool has also somewhat enhanced the effect of meditation.
With the assistance of such sufficient resources, no matter how bad the two girls' talents are, there is still gratifying progress in the accumulation of mana and power. As early as more than half a year ago, as long as they didn't choose too tricky second-level magic, it would not be a problem for them to cast ten consecutive spells.
As for the practice of proficiency, although it is no longer practiced with actual combat, it lacks the stimulation of life and death. But after Lin completed the digital detection of mana and power, of course he also gave the two girls a series of scientific magic training. ...Why does it feel awkward.
In short, it is to use quantitative monitoring to carry out targeted training for deficiencies. And it can also give a clear feedback on the aspect of control. Such as using the icicle technique of the second ring, how much power is used. The minimum amount can guarantee the operation of magic, and how much is actually used is a waste of too much investment.
The ability to make scientific training plans is due to the fact that Lin studied relevant knowledge for a while in order to lose his belly when he was on Earth, and then made plans for himself. It turns out that careful planning has nothing to do with willpower...
What I learned at the time was applied to the two girls, and the effect was surprisingly good. Perhaps the girls also understand that their magical talents are really mediocre, so they put in extra effort. But the most fear of hard work is that there is no direction, which will result in twice the result with half the effort; Lin's research results just make up for this, letting them know what direction they are going to work towards.
