Chapter 42 Two Night Market

"Guarantee agreement?" The three demon kings of Hargros were all stunned for a moment, not understanding what I meant by a guarantee agreement.

I explained to them directly: "It can be seen from your words that you all hope to return to the Dark Temple, so I think I can give you a guarantee. Let me help you communicate with Ditans, and then Let you return directly to the Dark Temple. I guarantee that Ditans will not hold you accountable for your previous responsibilities outside the Dark Temple, and you will pay me a reward as a reward for my mediation for you. Look at me. What’s the decision?”

After hearing my words, the three people over there looked at each other, obviously exchanging opinions, but they didn't speak. I don't know what exactly they exchanged, but I don't care at all anyway, this kind of hard-earned money If you can make money, you will make it. If you can't make it, you won't make it. It's not like you can't live without it.

After making eye contact for a few times, the three people began to whisper again, but the room was so quiet, I almost heard all their words. Of course, even if I heard it, I didn't care. Anyway, they were all things that had nothing to do with me.

In the end, the three people seemed to have discussed the result. The Roswell guard captain asked me: "Are you really sure that you have the ability to guarantee that Ditans will not hold us accountable? You must know that our previous actions are actually It’s equivalent to defecting from the Dark Temple!”

"Since I said a guarantee, I will definitely guarantee it. If something goes wrong, I will take responsibility. Don't worry, if Ditans refuses, I will stop his revenge, and as long as I don't agree, he will never dare to touch you. "

"Are you capable of protecting us from the eyes of the Dark Temple?" This time, the attendant of Clydia doubted my words.

I nodded with certainty and said: "You may not know much about the outside world because you rarely leave here recently. If you go outside and ask around, you will know that I definitely have the ability to make the Dark Temple afraid to come. Move you."

"If that's the case, I think this agreement can be signed." Attendant Clydia expressed his final opinion.

The Great Demon King Hargros looked at the Roswell Guard Captain next to him. The captain of the Roswell guard nodded accordingly. After confirming that his two right-hand men agreed, the Great Demon King Hagros finally nodded and said: "In principle, we agree to sign such an agreement with you, but we want to know, what kind of compensation do you need us to pay?"

"How about the accumulation of all the knowledge of the witchcraft system?" I said directly: "Just make a copy and give it to me. Strictly speaking, you have lost nothing, and I have gained enough benefits. This kind of transaction is not very cost-effective. ?"

Of course, such a transaction cannot simply be described as a good deal. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as technological blockade in modern society. Of course, the three of them, the Great Demon King Hargros, have not been out and about in the past few hundred years. But they are not stupid. They also know that after the technology is sold, they may be reversely eroded by their own technology, but they also know one thing, that is, there is no comparison between them and my organization, so there is no competition between us. relation. If that's the case, then whether or not the technology is transferred to me actually doesn't make much difference.

After pondering for a while, the Great Demon King Hargros still nodded decisively and used technology to pay the reward, and I quickly took out a temporary guarantee agreement and they signed it. This thing is protected by the system. Naturally, it can also reassure them.

"Ok, happy cooperation." Keep the guarantee agreement. We shook hands and everyone celebrated with a bottle of Magic Drink. certainly. I brought out the drinks. The Great Demon King Hagros is squatting in a place like this. Of course, he cannot entertain guests with high-grade magic fruits like the wealthy Dark Temple.

Now that such an agreement has been completed, the atmosphere between the two of us has immediately become heated. After all, we have a temporary cooperative relationship. As a guest, the Great Demon King Hargros invited me to rest in the castle tonight and attend the opening ceremony of the Magic Festival with them tomorrow morning, and of course I agreed. But before that, I asked the captain of the Roswell guard to take me out. One was to explain to the old witch and Wizard Glenn, and the other was to visit the night market.

Although the Magic Festival officially starts tomorrow, tonight and tomorrow night are actually the busiest times. Wizards do not like light. They prefer to be active at night, so it will be more lively than during the day. I have to focus on wooing the magic pastry chef tomorrow, so I don’t have time to go shopping outside, so I decided to take advantage of the fact that the magic pastry chef hasn’t arrived tonight to see what’s going on at the Magic Festival here.

Backcountry also has the advantage of being in a remote place. Because the environment is closed, there will definitely be no high-end goods from outside. However, precisely because of the closed environment, such places often have some special supplies that cannot be bought elsewhere. For example, a group of American players once got into trouble in the Pacific Ocean and accidentally discovered a small island. As a result, they actually discovered an NPC village on the island, and finally bought a very rare fishing line from them, which was only as thick as It's not that different from ordinary people's hair, but its tensile strength is comparable to that of a cable as thick as an arm. If the output wasn't too low, this kind of thing would definitely have great consumer prospects. The environment at this magic festival is the same. In such a closed environment, some unknown good things exist, which is convenient and simple.

With the Roswell Guard Captain accompanying me, I didn’t worry about anyone daring to trick me. I even saw the Roswell Guard Captain following me respectfully. When I asked about the price, many merchants didn’t dare to say the price and just told me. Just take it if you like. This shows how deeply rooted the prestige of the Great Demon King and his gang is in the hearts of the people. It is not only respect, but also a certain amount of fear. But think about the strength of the wizards here, and then look at the Roswell Guard Captain, who is the weakest among the three people behind him. I immediately understood why people here were so afraid of them. I really can’t be afraid, my strength is several orders of magnitude lower!

"What is this?" Because the Magic Festival hasn't started yet, few shops are open tonight. Those who come out to sell things are mobile vendors, and most of them are concentrated in the square in front of the castle. I only walked less than fifty meters when I saw something that interested me.

The boss was a little worried at first when he heard my question, but after thinking about it, he still had the courage to say to me: "These are magic fly eggs."

"Magic fly chaos?" I picked up the red object that looked crystal clear. This thing is about the size of a cantaloupe. The outside is basically red, but there are a few purple meridians that look like blood vessels. It looks quite scary. The main reason why I am interested in this thing is because I found that the magic power fluctuations on this thing are very special, and it feels like a magic black hole. Although it is also emitting magic wave, but for some reason, all the magic wave that spreads around is absorbed by this egg, and then the magic fly egg will emit its own unique weak and thin wave.

Seeing my interest in this thing, the captain of the Roswell guard explained to me: "There are a lot of this thing here, almost everywhere in the forest. However, the location where the magic fly eggs themselves are produced is not very fixed. So I went to look for it. It’s not easy to find either, so I can only collect them by chance.”

"What do you want this for?"

The Roswell guard captain looked at the stall owner. It means asking him to answer. After all, the captain of the Roswell Guard is not a professional wizard. He knows that this thing is useful to wizards, but he doesn't know what it does specifically.

The stall owner over there saw the look in the Roswell guard's eyes and immediately explained to me: "This is mainly used as a stabilizer for magic potions."

"stabilizer?"

"Yes." The stall owner said: "If you know a little bit about magic potion science, you should know that magic power will become quite unstable after it is highly enriched, and the higher the density, the more unstable it will be. But if you add some magic flies in an appropriate amount, The juice squeezed out of the egg can quickly stabilize the energy substance."

"So magical?"

"I don't know if it's magical or not. Anyway, we all use it this way, and it works very well."

"How much juice can this egg produce?"

"Look at the size. Usually there are about seventy to eighty flowers."

"Duo?"

The captain of the Roswell guard quickly helped to explain: "This is a unit of measurement here. It is used to express the volume of liquid. I am not very clear about the specific conversion, and you also know that I am not a legal profession."

The stall owner over there heard our explanation. He quickly took out a small cup from the stall next to him, then handed it to me and said, "This cup is the measuring cup for testing. You see, there is a scale inside the cup, and the top bar is ten flowers."

I took a look and saw that the cup was not very big, it was about the same as an ordinary coffee cup. In this way, the amount of seventy or eighty flowers is seven or eight cups, and the actual amount is quite a lot.

"If it is a high-energy solution, how much juice should be added to ensure stability? Also, will adding this substance reduce the explosive power when it explodes?"

Thanks to the fact that the people setting up the stall here are all real wizards and not pure businessmen, even though my question was very professional, the stall owner still answered: "As for the stable ratio... there is no conclusion on this. My wife and I The quantities measured by friends are not very accurate, but the rules are fixed. The higher the energy density of the energy solution, the more stabilizer needs to be added, and the stability of the energy material itself will also affect the stabilization effect. In addition, That is, energy substances and stabilizers themselves sometimes have some related reactions. We have not found the cause of this reaction yet, but this reaction does interfere with the stability of the stabilizer, sometimes increasing the stability, and sometimes It reduces stability."

Whether the stability of the stabilizer increases or decreases, as long as it is unpredictable, it is not a good thing. After all, high-energy substances are definitely not just for display. No matter what kind of high-energy substances they are, everyone ultimately wants to use the energy in them. If the effect of the stabilizer decreases, it may cause the high-energy substances to explode unexpectedly. The consequences can be imagined, and If the effect of the stabilizer increases, it may not be a good thing. If the energy substance is too stable at a critical moment and needs it to release energy, it will not respond. What do you think we should do at this time? Therefore, as long as the result is unpredictable, it is not a good thing whether it is an increase or a decrease.

"Stall owner, you haven't said yet whether this thing will affect the power of energy release?"

The stall owner shook his head and said: "The magic fly eggs themselves are also high-energy substances, so instead of reducing them, they may increase the explosive power."

I nodded and said, "It sounds like antifreeze!"

"Ah? What antifreeze?" I'm talking about gasoline antifreeze. Although there is oil in the game, the gasoline and diesel industries have not developed. So it's normal for the other party not to know. For example, in reality, the gasoline antifreeze used in cars in winter is actually a high-energy substance. Although its main function is to prevent gasoline from freezing, it is a substance with a high combustion value. If you do not add gasoline, you can use it to burn it. , not only can it still drive the car, but it will cause the engine cylinder to burst due to excessive combustion.

This magic fly egg obviously has similar characteristics to antifreeze, not only will it not affect the explosion of high-energy substances. It will even produce more terrifying explosive force. Of course, it is relatively stable in itself. Will not explode easily.

"How to sell this thing specifically?" After confirming that this thing would not cause an explosion, I wanted to take some back and give them to the research department for experimentation. After all, the liquefied magic crystal steam technology currently used extensively in our guild is a high-energy substance polymer, and this thing is notoriously unstable. Although we have invested a lot of money and personnel in researching anti-explosion methods, we can only say that the results have been minimal so far. The only thing we can do is that it will never explode when handled gently, but a slightly violent collision will not cause an explosion. and bumps, then it just depends on character.

The stall owner saw that I was interested in buying, and unconsciously glanced at the Roswell Guard Captain. I noticed his look and immediately said, "No need to lower the price, the Roswell Guard Captain is just accompanying me for a walk. You don't want me to rob you of your things, so you just give me the price. Just don't cheat me."

Although I said this, of course the other party could not still sell it at the original price. They just quoted a relatively low but still reasonable price. Because this thing is everywhere in this forest, the price is not very high. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find it specifically, so there are only a few stall owners. After paying for all the magic fly eggs from the stall owner, we started shopping again. Of course, I would buy any magic fly eggs I found along the way. Large-scale experiments require a large amount, and if this can really be used to stabilize liquefied magic crystal steam, the demand will increase by several orders of magnitude. Of course, I don’t expect to rely solely on the natural production here.

The biggest reason why humans are able to survive in their current state is that we raise living creatures. Since there are magic fly eggs here, it is very simple to hatch the magic flies. At worst, we can build our own magic fly breeding farm in the future, and then we can receive large quantities of magic fly eggs. Anyway, the fly in reality is a species that cannot die even if you want it to die. The vitality of the magic fly will only be stronger and it is definitely easy to feed.

In fact, the number of magic fly eggs here is quite large, mainly because they are scattered in a mess. Almost every stall owner has more or less a few, and these magic fly eggs are not all the same size. Some are in good condition and large, but some are cracked and very small.

Of course, the Captain of the Roswell Guards doesn't know why I have such a soft spot for Demon Fly Eggs, but his mission is to follow me and protect me. Of course, he himself doesn't feel that is necessary. After all, he knows very well the strength of the wizards here, but I may surpass the Great Demon King, so if there is a conflict, I will definitely not be the one who needs protection.

Accompanied by the captain of the Roswell guard, we quickly walked around the market. In addition to purchasing a lot of magic fly eggs, most of what we saw was rags. Of course, there were some noteworthy things among them. thing. I actually bought three other things besides the magic fly eggs.

The first thing is the leaves of a plant. This plant is said to have extremely special growth conditions. It cannot be transplanted or cultivated. It cannot be artificially raised at all. Moreover, the growing environment is chaotic and there is no pattern. However, although the growth method of this plant is strange, their leaves are really good things, because the liquid obtained after squeezing the leaves of this plant can actually nourish swords. Of course, raising a sword is just a way of saying it. If you use it to raise a knife or a gun, no one will tell you, and the effect will be the same. As long as the weapon is soaked in the juice of the leaves of this plant, the durability of the weapon will slowly increase. Note that the increase is not the durability but the upper limit of durability.

It is precisely because this thing can increase the upper limit of the weapon's durability. Therefore, the more advanced weapons are, the more they are needed, and advanced weapons must be in the hands of advanced players. And because high-level players must be very rich and powerful, the purchase price of this kind of thing is getting higher and higher. Unfortunately, this thing is distributed randomly around the world, and there is no pattern at all, so people who encounter it It's like winning the lottery, there's no way to deliberately harvest it. It is for this reason that the price of this thing has always remained high. And it’s still priceless.

However, I found a treasure today. Unexpectedly, there are actually two such plants growing in the valley nearby, and they are right next to each other. Most of the people here are wizards, and there are very few people who need to use weapons, so the wizard who discovered it only picked a small number of leaves, so that the plant continued to grow, and the wizard would pick a few leaves every time he came to participate in the Magic Festival. piece. A lot has been accumulated over the years, most of which have not been sold. In addition, this blade has a special characteristic. That means it won't go bad even if you pick it off. So saving it is not a problem at all. This allowed the wizard to accumulate a lot of these leaves. Originally, this time he just brought a few pieces to try his luck out of habit, but who knew that he actually met a buyer like me, who not only bought everything in his hand, but also bought everything in his home. stock. Of course, I haven't gotten the inventory yet because the guy is still on his way back to get it. But according to him, the distance is very close and he will definitely be back tomorrow morning.

The second item is simpler. There are no seeds. But this seed is not simple, because this thing is actually the seed of the giant sacred tree.

The Giant God Tree is a close relative of the World Tree. It is said that it is also related to the natural tree of the elves, but this giant sacred tree does not have so many weird abilities. The only characteristic is that it can grow very large, and its texture is hard and can be used as a very good wood. Essinger doesn't need to plant trees. Besides, in our environment where zombies crawl along the ground and skeletons run all over the streets, no big trees can grow. However, although Essinger is not of use, Tianyu City is very suitable. Tianyu City itself is located at the junction of the three countries of Germany, France and Switzerland. It is surrounded by border mountains and protected by borders. Only the top of the head is unobstructed. If we could place such a giant sacred tree in the center of Tianyu City, and then find some life-enhancing products to make it grow into a towering tree in a short time, Tianyu City would be safer by then.

The third item I bought at the Magic Festival this time was a recipe that can create a transformation potion. In the eyes of wizards, this thing is basically a magic trick and they don't take it seriously at all, but they don't know that this thing is very useful.

This kind of error is mainly due to the technical system. Witchcraft seems to be good at refining potions, but alchemy in the magic system is quite complicated and has few results. To the wizards, the transfiguration potion is just an apprentice-level potion, but to the alchemists, the transfiguration potion is almost like a magic potion, even if it is not a magic potion. This is the gap caused by different systems. For a biological civilization that specializes in genetic engineering, extending the life span of a few decades is a question for middle school students' scientific experiments. However, for a mechanical civilization, the technology to extend human life span is not Basically equal to high-end disciplines. It is not a question of who is strong or weak, it is entirely a question of technical expertise.

The transformation potion can turn a person into a designated creature for a certain period of time. During this period, the person has actually completely transformed into this creature, so it cannot be detected by any detection technology. To use an inappropriate metaphor, if you use a transformation potion to turn a person into a sheep and then slaughter him to make roast lamb, it will taste absolutely no different from a real sheep, because during the effect of the medicine, he is indeed a sheep. Sheep. That's the magic of the Transformation Potion.

Because of the special ability of this transformation potion, for spies and other people, this thing is simply a magic potion, and it is really useful. Even for ordinary players, carrying a bottle with you can save your life at critical moments. At least you can consider running away like a sparrow or simply turning into a mouse and hiding in a hole in the ground.

This transformation potion is so useful, and it is difficult for the magic alchemists outside to make it, so the price remains high, and it is absolutely difficult to find a single potion. However, here, I only spent a total of fifty magic coins to buy this formula. I forced it on the other party. The stall owner was only willing to accept ten magic coins because this kind of thing is only for beginners. As an apprentice, all the wizards here know how to prepare the medicine, but no one thinks of writing it down and selling it.

Of course, the other party didn't care about me but he knew the price of this thing, so he still forced fifty magic coins to the other party. But when you think about it, it's still shockingly cheap, because according to the market here, fifty magic coins are just five pieces. White skull price. If you can get five white skeletons outside and sell them for one gold coin, it means you have strong sales skills. If you convert it, I got this formula for less than one gold coin. However, in the outside world, the world price of transformation potion is - one hundred crystal coins per bottle.

Although the few things I bought earlier are also good, after getting this formula, I realized that this thing is the most valuable. Moreover, because of this recipe, I have decided to kidnap a few wizards to our guild when I go back. Although I have obtained all the technical information on the witchcraft system from the big devil, without real wizards, there will still be many detours with just the information, so I plan to bring a few wizards back to help us enrich our guild knowledge. Technology System.

The value of science and technology is like a connecting line between points. If you have two points, then you only have one line, but three points can connect to three lines, and four points can lead to six lines. After that, as there are more and more points, the line will increase faster than the points. The increasing speed is even more terrifying. Therefore, the more technology there is, the greater the value, and a new technology often makes many useless technologies suddenly become useful, and can also make some low-value technologies valuable. This is why I have been working hard to enrich the technical system of my guild. Inclusiveness is the best way to develop. If you go all the way to the dark side, that is not development, that is self-destruction.

After visiting the night market, there was nothing else to do, so I returned to the castle with the captain of the Roswell guard. Although I didn't have to sleep, it was hard to speculate since they invited me. Anyway, I am alone in the guest room, and no one is watching me. It is up to me to decide whether to sleep or not. Just take this time to research the various information about the magic pastry chef that you collected at the night market. I really wanted to abduct this magical pastry chef, so I did a full investigation in advance. Taking advantage of the opportunity to acquire magic fly eggs, I asked almost all the wizards in the market and got information from them about some of the things the magic pastry chef had purchased. Once you know what the other party has bought, you can know the other party's general preferences and needs. This kind of information will be very helpful for me to kidnap the magic pastry chef tomorrow, and now I can study this information and filter it.

In fact, compiling information is a very troublesome matter. A group of my magic pets and I worked all night to sort out all the relevant information about the magic pastry chef. In the end, we came to many conclusions, one of which is particularly important. The magic pastry chef seems to be a woman, and she doesn't like men approaching her. To put it simply, this person has a natural phobia towards all male creatures, and will become emotionally unstable when approached. Therefore, when you go to meet the magic pastry chef later, you must not use Ziri's account, otherwise the recruitment plan will definitely be ruined. I was even considering whether to let Ling bring a bunch of female demon pets to recruit him, and I might as well not show up at all. (To be continued.
