Cataclysm King

Chapter 452: Mythical Creatures·Elemental Spirits

 “Is this the original copper piece?”

Sark looked at the copper piece, and his eyes were immediately attracted to it.

The copper plate is engraved with high-level demonic language. For ordinary people, it is impossible to remember the occult symbols even after looking at them.

However, dragonborn are "pseudo-advanced creatures" with a higher level of life than humans.

Their gift for understanding the extraordinary is innate in their blood.

Sark is a pure-blooded dragonborn.

Although he couldn't understand the advanced devil language on the copper plate, he realized that this thing was extraordinary.

In the family inheritance, there were some introductions about the [original copper sheets], so he had a guess.

Hearing that Sack recognized the origin of the copper piece, the goatee stall owner immediately smiled like a daisy, and then let out a rainbow fart: "Young master, you are so knowledgeable. Not many others have this thing." I know it, even though I have seen many appraisers, I don’t know it.”

It's better to recognize it. Only those who know the goods will know the value of this thing.

However, the original copper pieces totaled more than fifty pieces.

Most of what is currently known is collected in the royal family and the Vatican's treasury.

There are also some in the Eastern Wasteland and those that have not yet appeared.

Not many people have actually seen the original version.

Sack knew that this kind of hawker would not dare to lie to him.

Seeing this legendary treasure for the first time, he was also curious: "Which sequence of magic and mystery does this fragment record?"

The original copper piece was the most precious thing.

But for most ordinary people, it makes no sense.

After all, what the card masters need is the magic and mystery recorded on it, not the copper piece itself.

In other words, the copper piece itself is nothing more than a rare antique.

It has collectible value, but it needs to find the right buyer.

Most people simply won't buy it.

Can't afford it either.

What's more, the fifty-two magic mysteries are out of reach for others, but for the students of the Royal Academy, as long as they can complete the specific academy assessment, they have the opportunity to go to the library's collection room to select the mysteries that suit them.

The goatee stall owner was obviously aware of this situation and quickly explained: "Master, I don't even know this. After all, this copper piece was brought out from the deep forest of monsters just three days ago, and the relics excavated are also the ones that no one has ever discovered." The ancient tomb has been explored, so I personally guarantee that this is a brand new fragment that has not been recorded by the Royal Academy!"

Sak raised his brows when he heard this, and then he became really interested: "There is no record?"

It has not been recorded, which means that what is recorded on the copper plate may be some "new magic and mysterious method".

Then the value of this copper piece is completely different.

Ji Xun on the side was also very surprised as he listened.

If the stall owner didn't lie, this would really be a treasure.

"Yes."

The goatee stall owner was obviously very proud of the origin of his goods, and added: "The person who brought out this copper piece is a close friend of mine, and the source of this item is absolutely reliable."

As he spoke, he continued: "I asked Dencher, the master of identification in the black market, to take a look. Although I couldn't decipher the content on the copper plate, Mr. Dencher said that this may be a secret technique about 'resurrection'." ”

Regarding the secret method of resurrection, it is most likely a secret method of healing, such as [3 of Hearts - Priest].

Oh, this sequence is called [Combat Doctor] in the Eastern Wasteland.

The exclusive magical magic of this sequence is called "Resurrection Sacrifice".

Legend has it that it has a resurrection effect.

But Ji Xun has never seen anyone who can really resurrect the dead.

After all, almost none of the fifty-two mysterious magic techniques that have been passed down is complete. Even if the copper piece is complete, no card master can fully understand all the contents of the secret method.

At present, high-level priests can only cure people who are still breathing.

The effect is a bit like Ji Xunhui's "Immortal Curse". As long as the wet nurse in the team knows this secret technique, teammates will basically not die.

But the Immortality Curse is used on oneself, while the "Resurrection Sacrifice" is used on others.

It is indeed a healing magic.

Young Master Sack's interest was already very high, and he asked directly: "How do you sell this thing?"

If it is genuine, this thing is worth immeasurable value.

Ji Xun was also curious about what price it would cost to buy it.

However, what people didn't expect was that when the price was asked, the goatee changed his previous philistine expression, and saluted with his chest in a decent manner: "I want a hereditary baronetcy."

No matter how many gold coins you have, they will all be spent, but the title can be inherited.

Only with a title can it be considered a real class jump. Not only in his lifetime, his descendants also have something to rely on to settle down and live their lives.

But in the Southern Continent, those who are eligible to confer hereditary titles can only be kings with royal power.

It is impossible for this kind of merchant to meet the king.

At other times, even if there were treasures in hand, there would be no way to obtain a title.

But it's different now, it's the kings of the principalities who went to the old continent to open up territories!

It is a rare opportunity to open up a new territory with a large number of fiefs and titles.

It is also the best way to obtain a title.

When Sak heard this, his eyes turned cold: "Do you know who I am?"

Although he is young, he is not stupid. This kind of transaction comes with a purpose, and it is difficult not to doubt the motive.

Goatee heard his tone change and said quickly: "The noble crests on the buttons of you and the knights are as dazzling as torches in the dark. The glorious patterns of the thunder dragon and the blood cross point to the great 'Birth of Thunder' 'Liberator of Darkness', 'Flash Brave' and 'Guardian of Truth'. The Langdon family. Forgive me for guessing, you should be Master Sack."

"."

When Sak heard this, his expression improved a lot.

Being able to fully describe his Langdon family's honorary title shows that this guy has a deep understanding of noble heraldry.

Now that the principality is opening up the Old Continent, the most indispensable thing is fiefs and titles.

It is reasonable to exchange this [original copper piece] for a hereditary baron.

Ji Xun looked on and found it interesting.

Sure enough, opportunities come to those who are prepared.

This guy really did his homework for the title.

After hearing this condition, Sak pondered for a moment and said, "I agree to your condition."

Since the other party dares to ask for the title, then the copper piece must be real.

When Goatee heard this, he knelt down excitedly and said, "Thank you, Master!"

The deal is done.

Each side gets what it needs.

But having been promised a baron in the Principality of Langdon, this goatee is now considered a member of the Langdon family.

This guy wisely refunded the money that Sack had spent on the previous purchase.

However, Sak didn't ask for it, and returned it to the man as a reward, and asked at the same time: "Which chamber of commerce are you from?"

He was not stupid, and he also guessed that the merchant who could bring out so many treasures was definitely not an ordinary adventurer.

Goatee said in fear: "The young one is just an ordinary adventurous businessman in Giant Spirit City."

He is a character who has no background in a large chamber of commerce and makes money by reselling goods from adventurers.

Sak lost much interest upon hearing this.

If he wants to cultivate his own power, he needs some capable subordinates.

A speculative businessman, he didn't even bother to ask more questions.

Goatee is also a human spirit, and he immediately realized the profound meaning of Sak's words, and quickly explained humbly: "But my father was in the Warcraft Forest fifty years ago, and now there are several medium-sized adventure groups who follow me for dinner. , there are thousands of them; most of them know the intelligence dealers and so on, and they all know everything in the black market channels. It can be said that in this Giant City, there are few people who know the World of Warcraft Forest better than the young one. Regardless of your future trials in the academy, young master. , or any material collection tasks, even small ones can be useful."

"."

After saying this, Sak became interested.

Local snakes also have the benefits of local snakes, so it's good to keep them.

Suddenly he thought of something and asked: "By the way. Do you have any information about the emperor's relics?"

He had just lost the [Curse God Card] and had not yet warmed it up. He came to the market just to try his luck and see if he could find some possibility of redeeming it.

After all, there is not one curse card, but a set of fifty-two.

As far as he knew, there were several cards in existence.

Furthermore, a lot of stolen goods are circulated on the black market.

What if my [4 of Spades] is also here?

Upon hearing this, Goatee's mind immediately became active.

He knew that this was the first task assigned by his young master, and there was no way he could say "I don't know".

"Master, you really asked the right question. You really know some news!"

Goatee's tone showed his value from time to time, and his expression was exaggerated and serious: "There are rumors about the 'Emperor's Relic' everywhere now, but most of them are false news. Unfortunately, I know a reliable person !”

When Sak heard this, his expression lit up and he quickly asked: "What's the news?"

This goatee had just been promised a title, but he would never dare to tell lies at this time.

Ji Xun, who was watching, was curious.

Goatee said: "Scarface placed a commission on the black market yesterday to find several high-level mercenary groups to complete a secret expedition cooperation. Although the outside world does not know where their destination is. But I estimate that there is a high probability that he discovered it. Found a treasure relic related to the Great Emperor’s relics!”

Sack pondered: "Scarface?"

Of course Ji Xun knew why he hesitated.

He had just encountered an assassination and almost lost his life. He was very cautious about these guys of unknown origin.

Such a coincidence, I just lost the Curse God Card, and there is news as soon as I come to the Adventurer Market? This coincidence makes people feel that someone deliberately lured him there.

Sak has this kind of crisis intuition, and Ji Xun can certainly think of it too.

In the eyes of Ji Xun today, there is no coincidence that appears out of thin air. There must be a complete line of cause and effect.

But he was thinking more. From the beginning, he had deduced the entire incident in his mind.

Because it is the [Curse God Card] that involves the founding emperor of Talon, Emperor Lanlingst, the relic itself has huge causal implications.

Why do the relics of the Great Emperor appear at this time?

The barbaric civilization of the Southern Continent has existed for countless thousands of years, and even the Irel Empire has a history of several thousand years.

Why didn't I notice it before, but now it suddenly appears?

Goatee explained: "'Scarface' is one of the most well-informed intelligence dealers in the black market of Djinn City. Of course, for your distinguished status, Master, those are just rats hiding in the sewers and are not worth mentioning."

Sark is as cautious as he should be, but he cares more about the Emperor's relics.

Having relied on the [Curse God Card] to save his life before, he knew how powerful this relic was.

Even if it was just a piece of wrong information, he would not give up until it was clarified, so he asked: "How do you know that that person is related to the relics of the Great Emperor?"

Goatee didn't dare to show off at this time, and responded directly: "Because that guy secretly sold a few young 'elemental elves'!"

As he spoke, he explained: "Because according to the information obtained by the villain, wherever the emperor's relics appear, the elements must be extremely rich. And the living environment of mythical creatures like 'elemental elves' was also born in such element-rich forests. In addition, I have observed that the equipment those people are preparing to explore contains a lot of anti-virus equipment and medicines, so I speculate that the direction they are going to is the 'Venom Swamp', and some ancient architectural ruins have been unearthed there recently. The elves were most likely caught there."

It has to be said that snakes have snake paths and rats have rat paths.

These local snakes who hang out in Juling City have some information that is even more accurate than the intelligence dealers.

Not just intelligence, but an intuition for treasures.

Goatee's speculation, even if Ji Xun heard it, felt that there was no problem with this idea.

Goatee was still nagging: "And there are definitely not many people who know this information."

Sack interrupted him directly and asked: "Where is the scar?"

Goatee said: "He should be in the black market at this time. He has a shop in the black market."

Sak said without hesitation: "Take me to see it."

Djinn City also has a black market.

In a sewer somewhere in this city.

Like other black markets that Ji Xun knows, most of them sell contraband or shady things.

For example, some psychedelic potions that Royal Academy students are allowed to use on a daily basis, high-end goods produced by aristocratic workshops that are not sold among the common people, evil spell materials, shady forbidden items, and stolen goods.

This is a paradise for wanted criminals, thieves, killers, schemers and dark sorcerers.

Not long after, Sack and the others changed their outfits and were led to the black market by their goatees.

Of course, you can't bring too many people with you to the black market.

In addition to the secretly guarding masters, Young Master Sak only brought Ji Xun and Seri with him.

After all, he needs some smart thinking in this environment.

Ji Xun's previous performance in the assassination allowed his wisdom to be recognized by Sark.

Seri is from the lizard tribe and is already knowledgeable.

The two are more suitable than other reserve knights.

It was obviously the first time for Mr. Sack to come to this kind of black market, and he was not used to the stench of sewer pipes floating in the air.

However, he endured the discomfort and followed all the way to the depths of the ground.

The sewer pipes drain directly into the underground river somewhere, and there is a small market in the dark.

It's a bit like the black market in the East Wasteland Thieves City. Those small mushroom-like houses are built on the rock walls.

If you look carefully, there are boats coming and going on the river, as well as a large group of wooden stilted buildings.

People in the black market wear cloaks and are mysterious.

This made Young Master Sark frown.

Goatee was very familiar with the black market's doorways and led Ji Xun and the others along the wet wooden plank road on the rock wall.

Soon I came to the door of a small shop with a dark red magic lamp.

Opening the black curtain, there was a small room filled with goods. A bald man with a hideous scar on his face was sorting goods behind the counter.

When he saw the guest coming in, Scarface recognized the goatee at first sight and said with a smile, "Yuri, what brought you here?"

While speaking, he calmly looked at the people who entered the door with his peripheral vision, and he could tell at a glance that the identity of Sark among them was extraordinary.

Goatee did not directly tell the reason, but said: "Scarface, I will bring you a big customer. This young master wants really good things."

Most of the goods sold in the shops in the black market have preferred categories, and it is normal for them to introduce business to each other.

One party gets a commission, the other party can make money, and everyone is happy.

Scarface also became more energetic: "Oh, what does the guest want?"

Sack did not speak, but Goatee spoke on his behalf: "I heard that there is an [Elemental Elf] in your shop, and this young master would like to take a look."

"oh?"

When Scarface heard this, a hint of caution flashed in his eyes, and he said to Goatee: "You are a very well-informed guy. He knows all this."

This kind of information is definitely unknown to outsiders, and not many people inside the black market can guess it.

Scarface looked at Goatee's attitude towards Sark, and wondered about this man's true origin.

But it is definitely impossible to deny it, and the door-to-door business will definitely not be shied away from.

"Dear guest, you are here at the right time. There are only two elves left."

Scarface said, taking out a birdcage covered with black cloth from under the counter.

When he opened the black cloth and showed it, two little figures suddenly appeared inside.

"Is this really [Elemental Elf]?!"

When Ji Xun saw the two little people in the birdcage, his eyes were instantly attracted, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The southern continent is really rich in products, including such mythical creatures."

The appearance of the two little people is almost the same as that of humans, but they are only about the size of a thumb.

And there are transparent wings like dragonflies on its back.

To the naked eye, they seem to be a pure collection of elements, exuding beautiful colorful magic streams under the light.

You know, this is a mythical creature.

Ji Xun had only seen the existence of this advanced race in classics before.

right!

This is still the same as the giant dragon, a race of advanced life forms!

They are the darlings of the elements and the spirits of nature.

They have an unusual affinity for the elements.

It is recorded in the classics that Ji Xun has read that some magicians like to keep this kind of elves as their pets.

Because this kind of spiritual pet is of great help to extraordinary people in understanding the elements!

But that was in ancient times!

At least in the Eastern Wasteland and the Old Continent, there have been no records of the survival of species like [Elemental Elves] for tens of thousands of years.

Ji Xun also didn't expect to see living creatures in Giant Spirit City.

Sark looked at the [Elemental Elf], his eyes gleaming slightly: "What's the price?"

Scarface said: "Guest, you want one hundred thousand gold coins, just take it. You should know that this kind of elf is very rare. Although it is in its infancy, it is rare to find it."

One hundred thousand gold coins is not cheap.

But if you can buy the mythical creature [Elemental Elf], the price is absolutely cheap. It's like buying gold at a bargain price.

Ji Xun knew why it was so cheap.

Because Goatee has explained before that this is the elf in its infancy.

It is not easy to feed them and raise them.

The growth of elemental elves does not depend on time, but on elements and spiritual power!

If you want to use an elf as a companion spirit pet, you need her to be willing to sign a symbiosis contract with you;

And after signing the contract, she still needs a lot of mental power and elemental consumption to grow.

That means a lot of magic cores need to be consumed.

Elemental magic cores are fine, but spiritual power magic cores are simply astronomical in price and there is not enough supply on the market.

Most nobles cannot afford this price.

If they are not careful, or if their growth needs cannot be met, they will die.

"Delicate", "gold-eating beast" and "fragile". This is why the price is cheap.

It can be said that the probability of this thing being able to survive into adulthood is extremely low.

It's only sold for 100,000, just for this reason.

Those who can sell this thing for such a high price are all nobles. In their eyes, they bought it just as an ornamental pet.

If it could be easily fed, the price of this little thing would definitely be no less than that of a pure-blood dragon egg!

However, when Ji Xun saw this, he was moved.

If others can't support him, he can't!

Not to mention that he is not short of money and can buy as many elemental magic cores as he wants.

And the cataclysmic object [Moon] is a natural radiator of spiritual power. Ji Xun can't use it up no matter how he uses it on weekdays. It's enough to raise an elf!

If we really want to be able to cultivate maturity, is it as magical as in myths and legends?

I don’t know whether the news about the emperor’s relics is true or false, but Ji Xun really likes this elemental elf the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

And the other side.

Young Master Sack knew that this elemental elf was difficult to raise, but he waved his hand: "I bought it!"

Hearing that the customer was so straightforward, the shopkeeper said with a professional smile on his face: "Okay!"

But instead of being happy, he became worried.

He guessed that the other party's intention was not just for the elf.
