The Hongze Wetland Wizard Academy has a high tower that exists exclusively for trading. Inside it is the official store set up by the academy, and there is also a place to buy the resources in the hands of the students.
Located in the northwest corner of the Wizarding Academy, this trading tower is next to the two Guardian Towers of the Wizarding Academy, and has strong protection in terms of security.
But Lei Meng, who was standing in the lobby on the bottom floor of the trading tower, was a little dazed.
In front of him is the inside of the trading tower. In the middle of the hall is a spiral staircase that gradually climbs up to the top of the tower, and each floor of this nine-story trading tower has strengths for traders. limit.
Third-level apprentices can only enter the bottom three floors. Before entering, Lei Meng saw the regulations hanging at the door, which must be followed to enter the trading tower.
No provocations, no fights, no private transactions...
Lei Meng read the regulations carefully, and found that the above requirements were reasonable.
Moreover, this trading tower is the only trading place in the entire Hongze Wetland area that is guaranteed by the Wizarding Academy. Many creatures that are friendly to humans or are in the neutral camp will also come here to trade.
You can buy everything from food and cloth to a protective circle that can protect a village.
But the hard currency here is magic stones. If there is no magic stone, bartering is also possible. There are old wizards who can identify the value of items in the trading tower, and they can evaluate the value of everything.
Although he knew that there would be non-human creatures inside, Lei Meng was still a little dazed after entering the gate of the trading tower.
A short and strong dwarf, a weird creature with a height of more than four meters covered by fog, and even a few ugly green-skinned goblins stood in the hall and looked around.
But Raymond, who hesitated and didn't know where to go, soon heard a joyful greeting. "Raymond? Are you Raymond?"
With some familiar voices, Lei Meng turned around and saw a young man in a gray robe walking over quickly in the corner of the hall, with surprise on his immature round face.
"I'm Alifer, we're in the same period!" Seeing Raymond's blank expression, the teenager smiled and introduced himself. "I heard that you have never left the room since you became the direct disciple of Edgar's trainer. Is it true?"
Raymond, who narrowed his eyes, laughed. What the round-faced boy said reminded him that Alifer was indeed the person who came here together, and he was also his classmate.
Through Alifer's narration, Raymond knew that his penance in the room had become a topic of discussion among the students at the same time, and his previous killing of a first-level wizard on a sea ship was also publicized intentionally or unintentionally. go out.
"Alifer, are you shopping here too?" Raymond, who interrupted his excitement and continued to ask him about killing a first-level wizard, asked Raymond, who frowned.
"Because many courses in the academy need to pay for magic stones, so I am here to earn magic stones part-time." Aliver laughed a little bit wisely. "I have only reached the second level of apprenticeship, and many missions released by the academy require the strength of a third-level apprenticeship or above, so I have no choice but to come here to lead the way..."
Under the introduction of this enthusiastic Alifer, Raymond learned that the public classes in the Hongze Wetland Wizard Academy also have different teaching contents. The general courses only teach students the basic meditation methods and the small things that wizard apprentices must master. Skill.
However, some practical spells, as well as some unique skills of the professor himself, can only be learned by paying a certain amount of magic stones.
The Wizarding Academy also considered that many students did not have magic stones, so the Wizarding Academy specially provided some odd jobs to provide students who needed magic stones with a way to earn magic stones. And if the strength is strong enough, you can also accept the college's reward task and earn a lot of magic stones.
"I am here to receive human traders. No matter what you buy in the trading tower, I will get paid by the trading tower, so please tell me the purpose of your coming here, and I can accurately guide you." Exaggerated Bowing to salute, Alifer, with a hearty smile on his face, did not shy away from his source of income.
"Broker?" The profession that popped up in his mind made Raymond close his eyes and smile.
Although he didn't understand the reason why the college was set up in this way, Raymond saw Alifo's familiarity with the surroundings, and it seemed that he had worked in the trading tower for a long time.
Raymond, who was no longer pretentious, directly described what he needed, and walked to the second floor of the trading tower under the leadership of Aliver.
Along the way, Alifer also carefully introduced the settings in the trading tower to Raymond. The first floor is the trading area for bulk commodities, where grain, cloth and various raw materials are sold.
The second floor is where wizard apprentices can buy wizard supplies, while the third floor is a place dedicated to selling wizard spells and related knowledge, but because of the high price, very few people go there.
After the two came to the second floor, Alifer took Raymond to the corner of the hall familiarly. There was a shop here that sold trainer items. The old shopkeeper was introduced by Alifer. , is an old man who has no hope of advancing to the first level of wizard.
"What you need is a small constant temperature container, and you need two low-level magic stones," the old man in the shop understood Lei Meng's purpose, and he took out a few flower pots from it and explained. "The medium one costs ten yuan, and the large one costs fifty yuan."
As a result, Lei Meng felt the faint radiation emanating from the flower pot handed over by the old man, and after careful observation, Lei Meng found that there were several superimposed patterns on the bottom of the flower pot. The pattern of the triangles together, from these triangles gathered together, the heat is faintly diffused.
This is a flowerpot whose temperature can be controlled by spiritual power. The small flowerpot can cover a diameter of half a meter, while the large one can cover a diameter of ten meters.
But because the formation of the flowerpot itself requires magic stones as energy, so the wizard who made this kind of thing is just earning a manual fee.
"You are Edgar's disciple, so you should go to your mentor for cultivation skills," the old man in the shop was rather fair, and did not take the opportunity to sell his plant cultivation experience here. "Even your mentor bought this temperature-controllable flowerpot from me."
Four low-level magic stones bought two small flower pots, and Alifer was shocked. After his explanation, Lei Meng knew that Alifer's half-month salary here was nothing more than a low-level flower pot. It's just a magic stone.
As soon as Raymond made a move, he got four low-level magic stones. In exchange, Alifer was extremely envious, but it also attracted Raymond's attention to the price of goods in the Wizarding Academy. For Raymond, such a generous behavior is not something he is used to. Because of his low-key behavior, he hoped...
