Chapter 20 19 Will Your Magic Circle Explode?

Chapter 20 19. Will your magic circle explode?

The first topic of the tomato and brisket meeting was the current financial situation of the three of them.

Sigrid, who was responsible for taking care of the daily life of the three of them, took out the cloth bag containing the silver coins and shook it on the table.

Various metal currencies are scattered everywhere, which at first glance makes people feel very rich.

However, these currencies are just a bunch of auxiliary coins, which are between copper and silver, or some currencies below copper.

In Yas Royal City, consumption here is lower than in border areas.

This is not a joke, but is based on the fact that Yas Royal City has a dedicated tax officer to manage it, and will not increase prices or charge fees indiscriminately.

The small town in the Earldom of Nott that Lu Yu arrived at after crossing was an extremely rare case.

Sigrid took off another cloth bag containing money from her waist, with only the last silver coin in it.

"The silver coins found by the owner's white wolf friend were low-quality silver coins made by the local lords when the Kingdom of Yas was not established, so the final exchange ratio was close to three to one."

"Renting a house, buying food that can be stored for about ten days, and magic materials needed by the two masters, these expenses have emptied our wallets."

"If we can't find a way to get money this month, then we will have to rent another place... It's not easy for the owner to continue to play."

There are basically no gold coins in circulation in the Kingdom of Yas. The very few gold coins are in the hands of a few great nobles and royal families, so silver coins are the currency with the largest denomination they can use.

Whether it is for future travel or for the present, Lu Yu must replace some items of high value and light enough to take with him before leaving the Kingdom of Yas.

Lulutis said that there are many things on gold coins that can only be traded by barter... I don't know if there is a way to get some.

"Money...write it down first, this problem will be solved soon."

"The money is still yours to take care of. Priority is given to ensuring food. As for magic materials and so on..."

"Lulutis, don't be stunned and speak!"

"Ah? What do you want me to say? This is something you are responsible for, right?"

Lulutis resolutely implemented Lu Yu's philosophy of not dictating when leading the team on the way home.

"Tell me if the gadgets you bought are enough to facilitate Sigrid's budget."

"Probably. Anyway, the basic materials for your awakening are definitely enough. The excess can be used to make some scrolls and potion mixtures for later use."

Lulutis pondered for a while, "I would like to buy some things to try to lift some basic seals, but these are basically impossible to buy."

"Can't I buy it without money or can't I buy it with money?" Lu Yu asked.

"Both. For example, I need the magic core of a starlight slime. I don't think I can easily find or buy it in a place like the surrounding kingdom where the highest level magician is only level five."

Lulutis' plan was to purchase all the materials used for the day's experiment and re-refine them. Through the reaction that occurred during the refining, she could analyze the potion that could relieve her black mist body.

As for her sealed magic power, she needs some more complex composite materials to release it, or some external stimulation to loosen the seal.

Both of these can be attempted simultaneously. After all, it is possible that once the magic power is restored, one's black mist body will be restored to its original state, and vice versa.

The most troublesome thing was the sealing effect of the ninth-level magician on her body. Lulutis was really unsure whether it could be lifted.

She could only hope that she could crack it with brute force after recovering the magic power of a seventh-level magician.

Seeing that Lu Yu and Lulutis had nothing to add, Sigrid wrote her own summary after the word "property" written on the paper: diligence and thrift.

After thinking for a moment, Sigrid added a line.

"If the two masters can be thrifty..."

The second topic is the direction of travel.

Lu Yu walked to the map hanging on the wall of the hall.

This map records the three countries surrounding the Kingdom of Yas, as well as some weak territories that are dependent on the three countries.

"Sigrid and I asked many adventurers in the royal city, and they all said that they had never heard of the Solon Empire."

"Not only that, what you provided is unknown to the Secret Light Sea, the Sligo Empire, and the Silver Maple Holy Theocracy."

Lulutis had already guessed that the magic flow of the explosion greatly increased the effect of the teleportation scroll, but she was not sure how strong the effect was and how far it spanned.

Now no one knows where the Solon Empire is, which makes it difficult to decide where to go after the Kingdom of Yas.

Lulutis and Sigrid were both staring at Lu Yu, wanting to see if he had any good ideas.

"If you really can't find any news, then buy a dice and come back."

Lulutis thought that dice had some magical uses in Lu Yu's world, so she couldn't wait to ask: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Yu was very puzzled by Lulutis's tone of curiosity. Could it be that no one in this world has ever played in a running group?

"When it comes to that, I throw the dice to decide where to go. What do you think I'm going to do?"

Sigrid wrote on the paper: "One die...the number of sides is to be determined."

Sigrid was thoughtful when she saw Lulutis extending her tentacles towards her master.

"Lord Lulutis has more hands. You may buy a few more dice and throw them out at the same time to detect the hints given by the gods."

The third issue is safety.

Since we are going to live in this house for a while, we must consider the safety issues.

There should be warning magic in all directions of the courtyard of the house, and various obstacles that can create movement and noise should be densely covered.

There should be one-time trigger trap magic under the main door and each window.

This is not enough!

In order to prevent someone from holding magic sensing equipment or more advanced forbidden magic props, it is necessary to purchase traps to deal with monsters.

These traps are placed one by one, and Lulutis binds them with special magic marks. It is confirmed that they cannot be touched without the corresponding magic mark, which is considered to have completed the basic security work.

"You are the basics?" Lulutis was stunned.

When in the tree hole, Lulutis found that Lu Yu was meticulous in ensuring his safety.

Now it seems that this evaluation is wrong.

He is not meticulous, he is meticulous!

The tree hole has no foundation, no environment, no materials, and he can't conceive and arrange more sophisticated preventive measures.

Now in this house, he entered the state immediately.

"Don't use the words you learned from me randomly. I'm not being timid. I'm taking precautions."

"You can't sacrifice Sigrid's rest time and let her run in the middle of the night to check the surroundings."

"Besides, Sigrid is only at the level of a Baimu-level adventurer. It's dangerous and harmful to risk losing control of her dragon transformation. Our combat power is seriously insufficient now, so we must use external objects to protect ourselves."

"It's never wrong to be cautious."

Although Sigrid didn't know what Lulutis said...but watching her master arguing with the black fog, she probably knew that Lulutis thought her master was too cautious.

Sigrid intervened in the discussion between the two, smiling awkwardly but politely.

"I support the master's idea. It's right to take precautions."

As expected of the servant I chose, he really stands on my side!

Lu Yu's pride lasted less than a second.

Sigrid's fair little hand stretched out in front of Lu Yu.

"Master, please give me money. Only with money can I buy the items you mentioned."

Agenda 3 is about safety, and in the end it is still about the financial issue of topic 1.

"Don't worry, someone will send us money."

Sigrid, who was in charge of recording, stopped.

"Send money?"

"Yes, send money." Lu Yu did not explain too much, but ordered, "In order to ensure that someone will send us money, I need you to go to the Adventurer's Guild to take the assessment of the White Wood-level Adventurer."

"Time..." Lu Yu glanced at Lu Lutis, "Let's set it tomorrow."

After the meeting, Sigrid went to her room on the second floor and started practicing acting in front of the mirror.

Lu Lutis rolled a large bag of things with her tentacles and led Lu Yu into the basement next to the clock tower.

The basement, which is about 30 square meters, has only one entrance and exit, with a table and several rows of bookshelves inside, and nothing else.

Because there are several hidden vents, it is not particularly stuffy.

I'm really curious about what kind of potion those suicidal magicians are mixing here, the concentration is so high that they will die directly.

Besides, are all magicians rough?

Shouldn't protective measures be taken when preparing dangerous potions?

What about gas masks, protective clothing... Oh, there may not be any here.

Then there should be a few specific defensive magics first, right?

If not, mixing in the open air will not poison yourself.

However, seeing Lulutis waving her tentacles and fiddling with various magic equipment beside him, Lu Yu was relieved.

A seventh-level magician can blow himself up like this, so it is not a big news for a first-level magician to poison himself.

Lulutis's tentacles dipped in the slime slurry to paint on the ground.

A complex circular magic circle gradually took shape.

Thank God, the ninth-level magician did not distort the pattern when creating this sealing magic.

But this is also what Lu Yu is curious about.

Is it that he can't do it, or is it a flaw he deliberately left?

"There are many ways to awaken. The material I use is the most common slime slurry. Most of them are born with an affinity for magic."

"Using their slurry as a medium, people without magic can easily feel the traces of magic and then touch the ubiquitous magic."

"Thank the slime, Lu Yu."

Lu Yu bowed slightly respectfully.

It's time to thank them. During the days of survival in the tree hole, they relied on eating slime to get through a difficult period.

Now their bodies will help Lu Yu embark on the road to becoming a magician.

"I don't know if slime can be a pet. If so, raise one to repay it?" Lu Yu was thinking wildly.

"Walk into the magic circle."

As Lu Yu was about to step in, a question came to his mind.

"It won't explode, right?"

"..."

"..."

"Are you going in or not!" Lulutis gritted his teeth.

"If you don't explode, I will definitely go in!"
