My Magic Age

Chapter 71 72. Fire Gathering Scroll (Part 2)

The noise at the auction did not subside due to the appearance of the first orc warrior who auctioned the two ores he brought. Only some people even stopped talking and paid attention to what the orcs were selling. Something, even sitting on it Weiru, who remained calm next to him, also turned his head and whispered softly into Jianbach's ear. His eyes flickered following the flames of the fire scroll in the charcoal brazier. I really want to know what he thinks about these scrolls like ours. opinion, but I couldn’t ask at the moment.

Sister Guoguo was the first person to read through the fragmented volume "Detailed Explanation of the Practical Formation of Basic Inscriptions". As a water magician, she knew best what content was introduced in it, and she also knew that my ideal was to be an inscription. Master, knowing that I have a little bit of weak magic power and the ability to perceive magic elements, the combination of several conditions undoubtedly pointed the finger at me, and then turned to me and asked: "Did you go to the magic potion shop yesterday?"

This question is self-explanatory, it is asking me if I am buying magic ink in a magic potion store. I hesitated for a moment, but a look of understanding appeared on Sister Guoguo's face. I can't defend myself. To be honest, I went to the magic potion store yesterday, but I didn't buy any magic ink. I lowered my head with a guilty conscience, but I heard Sister Guoguo put her head next to my ear and asked softly: "Did you do it last night?"

Qi Ge suddenly hugged me next to me, came over and whispered to Sister Guoguo with a smile: "Is what I did okay?"

Sister Guoguo said "haha" decisively twice and didn't ask any more questions.

Spring hunting on the Pai Plateau is the most important event in this season. No one dares to go into the mountains of the northern foothills to chase the bison herds in the mountains in the winter when the mountains are covered with heavy snow. Not only are there endless traps and murderous intentions hidden under the snow and ice, but also there are all kinds of powerful monsters living in the mountains of the northern foothills. These overlords of the mountains rule over the entire plateau, and even the best orc hunters stop here before winter sets in. During the period from spring to summer, as the ice and snow on the wasteland melted, large herds of bison and magic antelopes came out of the cols of the mountains in the northern foothills. The orcs on the plateau began their hunting and nomadic life. Only when summer is about to end , they will look for some valleys where wild corn grows luxuriantly and sandy land suitable for potato growth, and collect and store these wild crops as food reserves for the long winter.

In the spring, many orcs need to make some preparations before entering the wasteland. Hunters in the tribe will spend the long winter polishing their arrow clusters to a razor-sharp edge and trimming their arrow feathers to a balanced state. Their hunting knives will also be sharpened and coated with butter to await the arrival of spring. However, there are still hunters who make a living on hunting all year round on the plateau. They will chase the one-horned bison as the seasons change. During the long winter, they will follow the one-horned bison to the south road of Pai Plateau thousands of miles away. In the mountains, after winter, they return to the northern wilderness to prepare for spring hunting. Before entering the wilderness, hunters make preparations for hunting in the small towns on the edge of the wilderness. Yemen Town also becomes prosperous in the spring. This auction It is under such circumstances that the Yemen Town Chamber of Commerce Alliance began to hold frequent private auctions in order to obtain the rare materials and goods from these hunters.

Maybe we have a secret that no one else can share, which makes the relationship between Qige and me a step closer. I think I may have become a beautiful girl's best friend who can talk about anything. I feel about this. Somewhat complicated. Qi Ge, on the other hand, was very interested and patiently paying attention to every item being auctioned, from a piece of poor mithril ore to a few plants of Demon Emperor Grass, and even some unsophisticated alchemy materials would be curious to pay attention to their prices. And he always likes to drag me to discuss this. I didn’t understand anything, so I could only hum and haha ​​along with her, but she wasn’t annoyed, but rather enjoyed it.

Catalina sat aside completely and became a good girl. She even looked at the auction house without squinting. Even when I secretly touched her little hand through Qi, she turned red and took advantage of me when I wasn't paying attention. The hand pulled away. I think before the auction officially starts, the reason why the free auction is held may be so that these people in the venue can raise enough gold coins. The things that can be sold in the free auction are really diverse, including all kinds of strange things, and even Someone put a mysterious iron box on the stage for auction. In short, some people are happy and some are sad. Some people will return to their seats with joy after selling their goods and wait for the official auction to begin. Some people will not sell their goods and will silently put them in their arms. He walked off the stage with a wry smile.

When the auctioneer Ke Luo appeared on the stage again, he was holding a pair of thin pliers in his hand. He put the pliers into the charcoal fire basin and pinched a corner of the sheepskin scroll. He slowly turned the pliers to roll up the sheepskin scroll with fire. A magical scene suddenly appeared. The blazing flames on the sheepskin scroll, which was only the size of a palm, suddenly disappeared, leaving only a magic scroll emitting heat waves. Ke Luo held it with the pliers. With his other hand, he skillfully tied it with a rope made of horseweed. He held it in his hand and turned around the edge of the square stage. He showed the magic scroll to everyone on the scene for a careful look. As he walked, he said: "Please look, this is a magic scroll of fire gathering that can be used repeatedly. According to the calculation of Elder Tiberias of our Chamber of Commerce Elders, the magic power stored in the magic ink in this scroll is It can maintain burning time up to two days and nights, and because this scroll is made of magic antelope leather, which is well known to have good fire resistance, this product can be used repeatedly if the magic pattern is not damaged. Elder Tiberias reminds: Under high temperature, the magic ink attached to the surface of the sheepskin is in an active boiling state. Any carelessness can cause the magic ink to leave the original inscription and cause the magic array to fail, so please be careful. "

With the magic scroll of fire gathering with the halo of famous experts, it can be used repeatedly. This undoubtedly solves the most troublesome problem for the hunting team in the northern foothills wasteland that is seriously lacking in fuel in spring. You can't let the people in the team chase the sheep for several days and nights without drinking a mouthful of hot water or eating a mouthful of cooked food. In the past, the hunting team would carry a large amount of rye cakes and semi-fermented yogurt wine. These are the most effective foods for replenishing physical strength and easy to digest in a hurry, and they can be eaten without heating. But now with such a convenient magic scroll, grassland hunting will become easier.

I looked at Qi Ge with some suspicion, and she happened to look at me.

We are the two people who are most familiar with this magic scroll, but we didn't know that this scroll can be put away and used again after use. The magic book did not explain that this fire-gathering scroll has this effect. I always thought that this scroll was a disposable item, so I looked at Qi Ge with some confusion. I didn't expect that the big question mark on her forehead was even more obvious, and the flashing light in her eyes was clearly saying: What the hell did you do? How could you change the attributes of the scroll?

But she saw that I had a strange expression, and she also opened her mouth slightly, stared at me, and didn't say a word for a long time. Her expression clearly understood that I didn't know the situation, and was in a state of panic. Sister Guoguo had already seen our weirdness, but she didn't come to us. Instead, she whispered to Qiang Bach beside her, and I don't know what she was mumbling. A woman in love! I couldn't help but sigh.

"This is the last item of this free auction. Since there are many scrolls to be auctioned this time, we will auction them one by one! Next, the first magic scroll of Fire Gathering, starting at 20 silver coins, start now!" Auctioneer Ke Luo stood in the middle of the square platform in his straight Zhongshan suit with a bulging belly, holding the magic scroll in one hand and pointing the other finger in the air, his tone getting higher and higher.

This made me feel like I was back in my childhood in that world, posting slogans, shouting slogans, and college students wearing Zhongshan suits standing on the stage and giving passionate speeches. I sat in front of the TV and didn't know what they were saying, but I envied them very much, especially when I heard that they lived in the city and could eat three-fresh noodles and eggs every day. At that time, I would drool just thinking about it. But now seeing Ke Luo wearing such a modern outfit, I have an indescribable taste in my heart, I really miss it!

"Twenty."

"Twenty-one."

"Twenty-five silver."

At the beginning, the explosive bidding sound drowned out everything.

When everyone found out that so many people shouted at the same time at the beginning, they immediately realized that there were still a lot of people who wanted to buy. Even if there were more than 20 scrolls, it was unlikely to be auctioned at the basic price of 20 silver coins, so the first round of fierce competition began.

"Sixty-two silver coins!"

The minotaur warrior raised his fist as big as a bowl and shouted in a muffled voice. The sound shook the dust on the ceiling and kept falling down. When a ray of sunlight came through the glass window of the skylight, it was like smoke lingering in the venue. He was carrying a whirlwind axe more than one person tall behind him. Sitting on the wooden chair in the stands was as funny as an adult sitting on a small bench. I think even the people sitting next to him would never dare to laugh at him, because the strength of the minotaur is absolutely proportional to his weight.

I thought this would be the highest price for the first scroll, and I was secretly celebrating, and stretched out my hand to count on my fingers to estimate how much we could make this time, when an old orc shaman witch doctor with a shriveled body and a short banner in his hand stood up. The auction site was silent, and he half-closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Seventy silver coins."

Silence.

Even the auctioneer Koro was stunned and didn't know what to say, until the orc shaman raised his eyelids to Koro, and then Koro was so scared that he wiped his forehead, which was blank, and said loudly: "Deal!"

After the transaction of 70 silver coins, all the magic scrolls were sold at a price no lower than this. Finally, when there were only a few scrolls left, the auction house had a final climax. The last scroll was sold at a high price of 90 silver coins. You should know that this is close to the price of ordinary scrolls. You should know that ordinary magic scrolls are only floating at the price of one gold coin. I think the reason why these fire-gathering magic scrolls can be sold so expensively is that they can be used repeatedly, and more people in the audience bought the scrolls not for use, but for research!

At this time, Sister Guoguo also turned around and asked me: "Can the scrolls be reused?"

I was stunned again, speechless.

She nodded in understanding and said to me: "I'll go to your place tonight, I want to see it!"

I turned to look at Qi Ge, but Qi Ge was looking at the blue sky outside the window on the ceiling with bright eyes, and I don't know what she was thinking.
