Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

"Hey, little brother, how are you talking?"

The boss was unhappy with Li Yu's comments and retorted:

"This is a genuine thousand-year-old artifact. Although the magic patterns on it have become ineffective due to the passage of time, it still has value as a collection. Selling it to you for two million is a bargain price."

Low price?
Li Yu twitched his lips at the boss's words. How could an antique dealer like you jump off a building?

"It's just a small scrap of iron, taken from some broken armor. There are only a few patterns of magic arrays on it that have no effect. It's not even useful as a blade. How dare you offer this price?"

Li Yu sneered.

"Five thousand, no more. If there were more, I don't believe that we wouldn't be able to find something like this in such a big ancient city."

"Five thousand? You can sell it."

Li Yu was shocked. He thought the other party was going to continue bargaining with him, but he sold it so easily?

Then I regretted it, thinking that I paid too high a price.

The boss quickly told him what a dishonest businessman was, and the other party showed a very cunning smile.

"As long as you buy enough at once, you can take them all away at 5,000 each."

Is the quantity large enough? Five thousand per piece?
Li Yu noticed something unusual and asked tentatively:

"how much do you have?"

"How much do you want?"

Seeing this, Li Yu also became ruthless and said firmly:
"As long as your iron sheet is the same as this one, with traces of the magic circle left on it, it costs 5,000 yuan per sheet. I have a budget of 20 million, so it doesn't matter if I spend it all here."

"Twenty million!"

The boss shouted with a little loss of voice.

"It's just 20 million, 5,000 per piece, how many do you have?"

Li Yu gave his details, and the boss didn't hesitate, just waved his hand,

"follow me."

After saying that, he walked into the store first, and Li Yu followed closely behind him. The cultural relics shop was not large, and there was a place similar to a storage room in the deepest part. The boss opened the door and took Li Yu in. The moment he entered, Li Yu was shocked by the scene in front of him.

What catches the eye is a set of black armor that is worn neatly like clothes. The armor plates on it are lined up like fish scales in an orderly manner. The overall look is airtight and solid.

Not only that, the boss rummaged in the corner for a while and brought out a big box.

The boss threw the box casually, and it hit the ground with a dull sound, obviously it was quite heavy.

Facing Li Yu's shocked gaze, he said:
"This box contains all of them. There are more than a thousand pieces in total. Open it and inspect them yourself first, and then we can calculate the price." He said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Yu casually rummaged through the iron sheets in the box and picked up a few pieces. They were indeed engraved with similar magic array patterns and symbols as the original ones. They were indeed in the style of the Tang Dynasty, but they were completely unrecognizable in a short period of time.

Li Yu had an idea in mind. He pointed to the perfect-looking armor next to him and asked:
“These and this should go together, right?”

The boss nodded.

"Of course they are all together. I collected them from the countryside. At first, they were all broken pieces of iron. I asked someone to assemble a set. But the remaining pieces were not enough for a set, so I was too lazy to assemble them. If you want them, I will sell them all to you. I will take a loss on the price. Five million is enough."

At this time, it was Li Yu who was unhappy. Who would be willing to settle for something better? He pointed at the armor in the room that was obviously much better looking.

"What if I want the complete piece? The price is negotiable."

The boss shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, this armor is for my collection. I didn't sell it even when someone offered 20 million."

Got it, you have to pay more.

"I'll pay 30 million." The boss still shook his head.

"No, no, this is my treasure. I've been running the shop for so many years, I don't need you..."

"Forty million." Li Yu's voice was still so calm, as if he had only spent four thousand yuan.

“This…this…”

The boss' voice began to falter, and Li Yu struck while the iron was hot.
"Sixty million, armor, iron pieces, I'll take them all."

"Your sincerity touched me."

The boss shook Li Yu's hand decisively and said:

"I believe that it will not be mistreated in your hands."

This is a man with vision.

"Pleasant to work with."

Five minutes later, the boss stared blankly at Li Yu who walked out of the store. He suspected that he was seeing things. This young man who was as generous as a rich second-generation man actually took away a set of armor and a large box of spare parts with just a wave of his hand.

"Space... Space system?"

The boss was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.

"This is the first time I've seen a space system in all my years."

But he was distracted for only a short while, and when he came to his senses, the boss immediately went to close the shop happily. Today's business was enough for him to close the shop for three years.

A full 60 million! When he first started as a hunter, he never thought that he could save such a large sum of money at once!

As for the cost…

I've already said that it was collected from the countryside. Can something that costs 100,000 yuan be considered a cost?
On the other side, Li Yu, who was taken advantage of, was also carefully playing with the pieces of iron spread out in his hands, examining them and thinking...

"Strange, how could these two completely contradictory directions of magic energy appear in the same magic circle? Aren't they afraid that the magic circle will destroy itself and hurt people?"

There was nothing noteworthy about the material of the iron sheet itself. It was just smelted from ordinary iron ore. What really attracted him was the magic array pattern engraved on the iron sheet. Just now in the store, Li Yu was simply attracted by it and thought that this thing could bring him some inspiration. After careful study...

There are many more interesting places.

There is a huge gap in the inheritance of China's magic civilization. There are many magic facilities like the Three-Step Tower that later generations can only use with difficulty because they can't even understand the principles. Although the magic civilization that opened up in modern times can solve most problems, there is still a considerable part of ancient magic that cannot be replicated at all, such as these broken pieces of iron in his hand.

The inferior material showed that these iron sheets were not treasures at all, but the magic patterns on them were something Li Yu had never seen before. He kept changing the magic patterns in his hand, and tried his best to guess the function of the magic patterns on each iron sheet based on the knowledge he had mastered.

"I seem to have seen this on a shield magic tool. This thing is a bit similar to the curse system. What is this thing..."

"interesting."

……

Two days later, Ding Yumian arrived at his destination safely. He looked at the gray cave below that exuded a strong smell of death. It was like a huge mouth of the abyss with its mouth opened, swallowing all the lives that dared to enter it. Ding Yumian felt a chill down his spine when he saw this evil scene for the first time.

Compared with Ding Yumian when he first met him, the guide wizard, who was not very strong, was much calmer. After all, this cave with a diameter of only tens of meters was completely incomparable to the original Evil Abyss.

"Ms. Ding, according to the information provided by the trapped people, once you jump into the cave entrance, you will be automatically pulled into an independent space similar to an ancient martial arts arena under the control of the mausoleum rules. A black-armored undead cavalryman will be randomly assigned to the other side, and the other side will immediately launch an attack as soon as they see you. Please be prepared in advance."

"I understand, thank you."

Ding Yumian nodded, and the military wizard turned around and left without saying much. This place has been a bit deathly aura lately, and there is a chance that undead will appear. The military wizard will evacuate immediately after leading the way. There are professional equipment to monitor the abnormalities of the tomb in real time, so there is no need to worry about omissions.

The military magician left. Ding Yumian touched the head of the little thunderbird that the Phantom Thunder Spirit had transformed into and smiled.
"Are you ready?"

The Phantom Thunder Spirit couldn't speak, but a thumb drawn with lightning appeared on its head, which made Ding Yumian laugh even more.
"I can only count on you to protect me this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Yumian jumped into the gray cave in front of him. (End of this chapter)
