Chapter 776 Diamond Brooch
Next is the main event.
During the half-month expedition, Joan and the others obtained a total of 6 pounds of magic crystals.
Among them, two pounds of magic crystals were granular, like blue corn kernels, which were the spoils they collected in the spider's lair. To put it bluntly, it is the "feces" excreted after the mutant spider devours the original magic crystal and digests it.
This is probably the most expensive excrement in the world!
There are also 4 pounds of magic crystals, which are paid by Joan and the others for helping the dwarf prospecting team eliminate the frost lizards. They are standard industrial magic crystals.
Cut into equal sized cubes that look like blue sugar cubes, each weighing exactly 1 oz.
6 pounds of magic crystals, divided equally between four people, each person got 24 ounces, and the market price was equivalent to 15,000 Gold Duga.
There is no doubt that this is the biggest gain of Joan's trip!
Especially for Joan, the magic crystal not only represents wealth, but also the most critical enchanting material.
With these 24 ounces of magic crystals, he has the capital to transform those ingenious ideas in his mind into real magic tools.
In addition to practice points, alchemy materials, and magic crystals, Joan and the others also obtained some unclassifiable spoils during their trip.
The first is a "teleportation" scroll, a money bag containing about 300 gold duga, a diamond brooch, a pair of "night vision goggles" and a pair of "inextinguishable miner's lamp".
These things, which Gulu found from the lair of the choker, were obviously relics of an explorer who died unfortunately.
In addition, there are two magic tools that Joan picked off from the war lizard shaman "Old Blind Man" - "Centipede Robe" and "Giant Worm Wand".
Hailar believed that Joan played the greatest role in the expedition team, and suggested that he choose the spoils first.
If Joan doesn't want it, let's divide it up again.
Audrey and Holden, fully agreeing with Hailar's suggestion, urged Joann not to be polite, just pick whatever you want.
Joan was a little embarrassed at first, but he couldn't hold back everyone's enthusiasm. After thinking for a while, he first picked out the giant bug wand inlaid with amber balls, and then picked up the "Teleportation" scroll.
"I only want these two, and share the rest with you."
Next, Hyrule asked Audrey to choose the spoils.
Her Royal Highness had high eyesight, flipped through it, and finally only picked up the beautiful diamond brooch, and was not interested in the others.
Hailaer and Holden discussed how to share the rest of the loot, some of which neither of them needed would be sold to the Gulf Trading Company for a penny.
Audrey played with the crystal clear diamond brooch, tried to pin it on the coat, turned around and smiled shyly at Joan.
"Does it look good?"
Qiao An froze for a moment, nodded and replied, "It looks good."
"Where is it good?"
"The brooch is beautiful."
"No sincerity!" Audrey gave him a reproachful look, "You have to boast a few more words, and explain exactly what a good idea it is."
This posed a big problem for Joan.
He scratched his head vigorously, but couldn't think of appropriate words of praise for the occasion.
After racking my brains for a while, I managed to find a point of view from which I could say a few words.
"This jewelry is not only beautiful, but also functional."
Audrey raised the corners of her lips and encouraged him to say a few more words with her eyes.
"It's just a small brooch. Besides decoration, what else can it be used for?"
"The material of jewelry is also very important, and diamonds are especially precious!" Qiao An emphasized seriously, "It is said in the book that diamonds represent beautiful and faithful love."
"I've also heard this saying, but it's like 'flower language' and horoscope divination, it can't be taken seriously."
Audrey said "it's not true", but her smile became sweeter.
"I don't think it's true either."
"Diamond is just a special mineral, which has nothing to do with love, and it cannot represent steadfastness."
"In fact, diamonds are more brittle than they look and can be broken with a hammer."
"Using this kind of thing to represent steadfast love, even if it's just a rhetorical technique, is really ironic."
Joan only cared about what he said happily, but he didn't notice that Audrey's smile gradually became stiff, and the corners of her mouth changed from raised to drooped, as if she was pouting and sulking.
"But having said that, besides being used as decorations, diamonds also have a wide range of uses in the field of magic."
"For example, the 4th level 'Stone Skin Spell' can temporarily provide the recipient with a layer of protection that is as hard as fine gold. It is one of the best defensive spells. Unfortunately, to cast this spell, you must consume some diamonds as the casting material. "
Joan touched Audrey's chest lightly and helped her straighten the diamond brooch.
Audrey's body trembled slightly, and she instinctively shrank back, but in the end she restrained the urge to dodge, biting her lip, her cheeks blushing faintly.
"When I become a level 7 mage in the future, I will help you transform this diamond brooch into a magic weapon. During the battle, you can activate the 'Stone Skin Technique'. Even if you are hit to the point, you won't die so easily."
The corners of Audrey's drooping lips curled up again, her eyes widened, her expression was angry and funny, and she raised a hand like a "lucky cat".
Qiao An carefully observed her face, suspecting that she raised her paw, not to say hello, but to scratch herself, and quickly reflected on the inappropriate words just now.
"I didn't mean to curse you."
"What I want to say is that unless the enemy also possesses fine gold weapons, it will be difficult to penetrate the protective layer provided by the 'Stone Skin Technique'."
Audrey smiled and nodded.
"It's rare for you to take the initiative to be considerate of others, and you are a little moved."
"I will remember your promise just now."
She pointed to the shiny diamond brooch on her chest, with a very solemn look on her face.
"Hurry up and raise the mage level, Joan, and don't forget to enchant this brooch for me then."
"I will do what I say."
Joan also nodded solemnly.
He had reason to believe that Audrey's wait would not be too long.
With his speed of progress, he will be able to be promoted to a level 7 mage by this time next year at the latest, and obtain a 4th-level spell slot that can be used to cast the "Stone Skin Technique".
After distributing the spoils, everyone went to the school cafeteria to have dinner together.
After lunch, Hailaer rushed back to the Gulf Trading Company to deal with the consignment spoils.
Joan and Zion took a walk back to the shared apartment together.
After a brief greeting to the landlord, Mrs. Anderson, Joan went back to the bedroom on the second floor to catch up on sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Joann had gotten rid of all the uncomfortable feelings at the beginning of returning to the surface world, and the jet lag had also adjusted.
Audrey and the Holden siblings were also revived and seemed to be in good spirits.
The three had breakfast and met to go to the campus. After saying goodbye, each went to find his mentor.
Joan stood outside the door of Professor Moriarty's laboratory, and when he raised his hand to knock on the door, he was still thinking about how to introduce to his mentor the achievements of his expedition in the past half month.
