Chapter 57

Spell books are specially made. If you go to the Mage Guild to buy them, you will need one gold coin per page of the spell book, and you will need to spend extra money to copy the spells. Therefore, Green would rather go to the old market to buy second-hand spell books than go to the Mage Guild to buy brand new spell books. .

As a player, Green doesn't mind spending a lot of money on his followers to gain favorability, but Green is very stingy with himself.Anyway, for players, there is not much difference between a first-hand spell book from the Mage Guild and a second-hand spell book from the second-hand market - Dute Miao's is a blank slate.

After wandering around the market, Green bought a pair of second-hand shooting gloves and put them on his hands. He replaced the bandage used to hide the gun magic on the back of his left hand, but he still could not buy a satisfactory spell book. ——Either the price is too expensive or the damage is too severe, there are not many spell books with any use value.

At this moment, Green noticed a cloaked man sitting in a dark corner. In front of the man were some weapons and equipment that looked good. Among them was a small black book that looked a bit like a spell book.

The cloaked man's position is very remote, giving people the feeling that he deliberately avoids the people around him, which makes him look a bit unique in this busy city.

Green thought for a while, walked towards the man in the cloak, squatted down, picked up the small black book and opened it.There is not a word in the book, but with the faint magic power emanating from the paper, Green can be sure that the book in front of him is indeed a spell book.

"Hmm~ How much is the 24-page spell book?"

The cloaked man glanced at Green and said slowly: "This book is only for those who are destined to read it."

Green raised his eyebrows and threw the book back on the bookshelf: "Let's be less clichéd and more sincere. I'm not a newbie. You're looking for the wrong target."

What kind of predestined person, family heirloom, this kind of rhetoric can also fool the rookie adventurers who go out for the first time.If it was a rookie adventurer who encountered this kind of thing, nine out of ten would think that he had encountered the opening of some legendary story, and ended up buying a pile of garbage at a high price.Not only NPC adventurers have been deceived, but even players have been deceived by many people, thinking that they encountered some "hidden mission", but were deceived by NPCs, leaving only a pair of underwear.

As an old player, Green would naturally not be fooled by this.

The cloaked man lowered his head and remained silent.

Green didn't care about the cloaked man's silence.

"I want to buy a spell book. I think you should have a second-hand spell book of 'No Lord' here?" Green deliberately accentuated the word "No Master" to remind the other party that he knew his identity.

Most of these scammers who set up stalls on the street are members of the local thieves' union. They are very good at disguising and counterfeiting, and usually also work part-time as a part-time seller of stolen goods.Although it is wrong to buy loot, players don't care about it.

Hearing Green's words, the man in the cloak was finally sure that he had met someone who knew how to do it.He looked like a baby, but turned out to be a veteran. The cloaked man felt that business was getting harder and harder recently.

Now that I have met the old bird, it is meaningless, but the business still has to be done: "Recently, I have indeed just obtained two unowned spell books."

Green: "Show me."

The cloaked man stood up, took out two spell books from the box under his buttocks, and handed one of them to Green.

Green took the spell book and glanced at it...

There are nine zero rings, four first rings, one second ring, and three unused blank pages. All spells can be recognized by the system and can be acquired directly by spending skill points.That's right!That kind of spell book with twelve spells and nine grids wrong is simply a joke.

"Price?" Green looked up at the cloaked man.

"Sixty gold coins."

Green: "...at this price, I would rather go to the Mage Guild!"

"This is a 24-page spell book! If you go to the Mage Guild, a blank spell book costs more than 20 gold coins, as well as the spells copied on it. The price of spell copying in the Mage Guild is one gold coin for a zero-level spell, and one gold coin for a zero-level spell. Five gold coins for the first level, twenty gold coins for the second level! This is a spell book that has copied the second level spells. The spell book plus fourteen spells only costs a total of sixty gold coins, which is very cheap."

"You are talking about the price of non-union members, and the price of union members will be cheaper. And can the price of spell books customized according to their own situation and second-hand spell books be equal? ​​And I can copy many spells in the book myself, It doesn’t cost money at all. And look at what spells are copied from this book? Language Proficiency, Arcane Sensitivity, Mage Craft, Identification, the only second-level spell is Locate Object, which can only be used to find Lost object spells? What's the use of learning these spells? For fifteen gold coins, I can tear out the four pages recording the second-level spells and leave them to you. Or for one gold coin, sell me the three blank pages at the back."

The man in the cloak stared at Green for a long time: "Fifty gold coins! No less."

"Well... twenty, no more."

The man in the cloak was silent for a while, reached out and snatched the spell book from Green, and then handed another thinner spell book to Green: "Take a look at this one, this one is cheaper."

Green glanced at the spell book and felt that his whole body was not good: "Damn it! Isn't this the spell book I was robbed of!?"

"Hmph! What you say is yours is yours?" The man in the cloak glared at Green domineeringly, but what he did made people feel that his confidence was a little lacking.

Green looked at the man in front of him jokingly: "He took out the stolen goods and sold them without even making the most basic disguise, and was eventually discovered by the original owner. Such a stupid person must not be a believer of the Lord of Shadows. Do you want us to go to the temple to do a lie test? See if I am really the owner of this spell book?"

The cloaked man's face darkened.

"Five gold coins, I took this book." Green did not continue to embarrass the other party.He took out five gold coins and handed them over, "I don't think you have any objection to this price?" Although the spell book originally belonged to Green, Green didn't want to make the relationship with the Thieves Union too stiff, so Green took the initiative to choose After all, Green will do business with them sooner or later.

The man in the cloak hesitated for a while, without speaking, he reached out and took the money.

"Well, don't put on a straight face, at least your wealth has indeed increased. Although there have been some small mistakes, at least the result is good, and you have not violated the teachings of the God of Shadows."

The cloaked man had a stinky face: "Is there anything else?"

"There is a saying in my hometown: There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. I don't think there is any conflict of interest between us." Green looked at the cloaked man's box with a smile, "I I don't think you will refuse the door-to-door business, will you?"

Man in cloak: "...What else do you want to buy?"

"I want a map." Green paused, "I want a high-precision map of the Cursed Sea area, the kind that can be used to locate spells, not the kind of sketches from the Adventurer's Guild or the Merchant's Guild."

　Thanks to the book friend: Demon God Emperor, the hot pot restaurant for the reward.
