My Magic Age

Over the years, Justus has been living in seclusion on Dunai Island, where he runs a themed tavern that sells intelligence.

This tavern gathers thieves from nearby waters. At first, it only sells private information about the nobles on the island. The thieves here are like private detectives in my original world. Their main business is to get all kinds of intelligence. Of course, there are also many thieves who are not so clean. However, later the tavern became more and more famous in the circle, and many thieves came here because of its reputation. The thieves decided to establish a thieves' union based on the tavern.

Justus does not participate in the management of the thieves' union, but provides office space for the thieves' union. Over time, Justus and the thieves' union get along well, and gradually form an alliance relationship of coexistence and prosperity. Justus also went from the front to the backstage. The thieves' union destroyed all the news that was not conducive to Justus to protect Justus.

Although Justus' mother, the sea siren lady, had passed away a long time ago, Justus did not forget his mother's last wish before her death. He still persisted in collecting information about the pirate king's treasure and has been looking for the whereabouts of the pirate king's treasure and the soul horn.

According to the information Justus has, the half of the treasure map that has been kept in the hands of the pirate king's eldest son disappeared on the night of the collective rebellion of the pirates. It is unknown who has the half of the treasure map, but according to Gatster's guess, the person who stole the half of the treasure map must be a pirate who participated in the rebellion and should have a certain status among the pirates.

Another piece of news is: the half of the treasure map kept in the hands of the pirate king's second son was actually taken away by the sea siren. But Justus said that at that time, the pirate king's eldest son and his mother joined forces to kill the pirate king's second son, but the half of the treasure map had actually fallen into the hands of the Naga sea tribe.

Originally, the second son of the pirate king wanted to use the half of the treasure map as a stepping stone to join forces with the Naga tribe on Vashj Island to deal with his brother, but unfortunately he was too late. Before the Naga tribe's reinforcements arrived, he was killed by his brother in the sea fog.

These old stories are like invisible shackles that bind Justus tightly.

I didn't expect that his so-called story would actually tell me the whole story. I sat in front of him and asked him: "Am I really worthy of your trust?"

He stretched out his trembling hand, grabbed my arm, leaned forward, and said to me in a hurried voice: "I can feel that you are different from others. You should give me some hope!"

His hand grabbed me tightly, his palm was wet and cold, and his hand was very strong.

"I promise you that after finding the treasure of the pirate king and the soul horn, I will only borrow the horn to hold a soul ceremony. After the ceremony is successfully completed, I will return the soul horn to its original owner. This is my promise to you. Maybe I should give you a magic contract. Things written on paper are far more binding than words." I said to Justus.

He shook his head and said, "No need. I believe that for a noble who can make orcs willingly become followers, honesty and trustworthiness should only be your basic virtue."

"Then, we should have a good talk about how to cooperate next." I held Justus's hand and said to him.

"I have told you all the information I know, but it is obviously not so easy to find the two treasure maps with just these now." Justus said to me.

Having said that, I always feel that the treasure map found on Johnny Jones' ship is very likely to be half of the Pirate King's treasure map. If that's the case...

I suddenly thought of another possibility, so I asked Justus: "There is something that has been in my mind for a long time and I have never figured it out. If, I mean, if we get half of the treasure map, can we guess the specific location of the treasure based on the sea area landform features, the distribution of islands, etc. drawn on that half of the treasure map?"

Unexpectedly, I just blurted out this question and got a positive answer from Justus: "This plan doesn't work. Someone tried it before."

The native woman of Yelo next to him helped him tidy up the cushions so that he could lie more comfortably.

Then, Justus said to me: "As far as I know, the treasure map cannot be regarded as a sea map divided into two. It should be like a key. My mother once told me: Only by finding a complete treasure map can the door to the treasure house be opened."

I gently pressed my swollen and painful head with my hand and said, "It's really a headache! But we can make a plan."

I said to him: "As for the Naga Sea Clan, maybe I can find a way to contact them. I know a Naga princess. I think it's nothing more than a conflict of interests. If we can convince them to cooperate with us and share the treasure of the Pirate King, they have no reason not to accept it!"

"You actually know the Naga Sea Clan, that's great!" Justus said excitedly.

I touched my nose a little embarrassedly and said honestly: "Well, in fact, I don't know that Naga Sea Clan princess very well, but my good brother knows her very well."

"Oh, right!"

I suddenly thought that Justus had been tortured by the 'drug addiction' caused by the 'devil's blood'. I lowered my head and rummaged around in the magic pocket to find some of the drugs I had prepared for Su to relieve the 'drug addiction'. Potion of pain.

In fact, this is not a potion at all, it is just a liquid diluted with the 'Shadow Body' potion. After drinking it, you will enter a semi-psychedelic state.

In fact, speaking of it, it can only be regarded as a small amount of 'devil's blood', which can only relieve the pain caused by 'drug addiction'.

I handed a small bottle of potion to Justus and said to him: "You can drink a little when you are in the most pain. It can help you get through the unbearable pain, but it is not a medicine and it cannot cure it." Good for your addiction.”

Justus took the test tube and the small glass bottle with a confused look on his face, and then asked me: "What should I do to get rid of that demon?"

"There is no good medicine that can cure your drug addiction. All you can rely on is your own inner and spiritual world that gradually becomes stronger." I said to Justus.

For a moment, Justus' expression turned very bad. He stared blankly at the potion bottle in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

…

There is a large free market on Dunai Island. The reason why this free market is so prosperous is that Dunai Island is one of the few natural harbors in the eastern waters of Vashchi.

Furthermore, the security here is pretty good. Many merchant ships are willing to dock on Dunai Island for transactions, so a large market has sprung up near the Dunai Island Pier.

The products in the market are diverse, ranging from various types of wood for repairing the main keel of ships to exquisite brooches on clothes. Some people sell leather and magic cores of sea beasts here, while others sell food, ironware, copperware, cotton, linen, pottery, etc. There are many types of goods, there are many shops along the street, and there are many people gathering on the street.

Looking at the bustling crowd, it’s hard to imagine. This is because the plane war broke out, and many businesses on Dunai Island became much depressed, which led to such a scene. According to Duke Wheeler, the flow of people in the free market in the past was much greater than it is now. several times.

A group of us stood at the door of a magic shop called 'Mokmok'. A magic red copper sign was dangling on the horizontal bar. There was no text on it, only simple magic lines. You can roughly see it. Drawing is a magic sealing box and a bottle of magic potion. This was originally a magic shop specializing in selling magic sealing boxes and magic herbs.

The magic shop seemed a bit deserted. Occasionally, some businessmen would walk in, but most of them would leave with disappointment within a short time.

Duke Wheeler was wearing a straight dress. His thin body was quite impressive, and the tailor-made dress fit him perfectly.

He put a hand on my shoulder, looked at the plaque and said to me: "It's all because of the plane war! You must also know that there is almost no one in the market in the entire Vashj plane. Magic herbs, those magic herbs have been completely controlled by the local nobles. I don’t know how long this scarcity of magic herbs will last!”

"The situation on Connerson Island is even worse than here. Many magic shops can't open and are forced to close." I said to Duke Wheeler.

As he said that, the servants next to Duke Wheeler opened the door of the magic store for us. Duke Wheeler and I walked into the magic store side by side. The magic store seemed deserted and deserted. Many shelves were empty. A waiter stood there. At the door, when he saw us entering the store, he rushed to greet us and asked us, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Duke Wheeler glanced at the empty shelves. The waiter's expression darkened and he hurriedly said to Duke: "Sorry, if the two customers want to buy magic herbs, all the magic herbs in the store have been sold out." Sold out, no more magic herbs.”

At this time, my eyes fell on the magic-sealing boxes of various sizes and shapes on the other side of the shelf.

In stark contrast to the empty shelves in the herbal medicine section of the store, the other side of the store is filled with magic-sealing boxes. Each magic-sealing box has some complicated magic arrays drawn on it, and some magic crystal fragments are inlaid in the center of the magic array. From time to time, some magic power flows out from the magic sealing box, causing a faint magical light to float from time to time in the room here.

"Who said we want to buy magic herbs?" Duke Wheeler looked arrogant and his voice was a bit sharp.

Seeing Duke Wheeler's arrogant look, the waiter said even more cautiously: "So, what do the two guests want to buy?"

Hearing the waiter ask this, I turned around and pointed to the shelf of magic-sealing boxes on the other side of the shelf, and said to him: "I want to choose a few magic-sealing boxes!"

When the waiter heard that I wanted to buy a magic-sealing box, he immediately showed joy on his face. He quickly led us to the shelves full of magic-sealing boxes and said to me: "We have nine types of magic-sealing boxes, large and small. , I wonder which type of magic sealing box the customer needs?”

I patted a magic sealing box that was two meters long and one meter high on the ground. The outside of the magic sealing box was covered with a layer of mithril-plated magic rune board. The lines of the magic pattern on the rune board appeared It is very smooth. There are no obvious traces of magic leakage at some turning points on the magic pattern. Although the magic crystal fragments in the gem groove in the center of the magic circle have been exhausted, it must be said that this is a seal with excellent craftsmanship. Magic box.

"Ah, the one you selected is the largest Demon Sealing Box in our store. Do you really want to buy it?" The waiter didn't expect that I actually selected the largest Demon Sealing Box in the store, and his eyes widened. After looking at me for a while and seeing that I had not changed my mind, he introduced me: "This magic sealing box is made with excellent craftsmanship and is in the hands of a famous master craftsman. It has almost no shortcomings except its large size."

I smiled and said to him: "You probably haven't told me yet how many magic crystal fragments it consumes every day!"

At this time, the waiter didn't look embarrassed at all when I revealed the key point. The waiter looked at me, his eyes clearly saying: 'You are a knowledgeable person. ’

"It consumes a standard magic crystal fragment every month." The waiter said to me.

As if he wanted to make up for the bad impression he had left on me, he suggested to me: "If you have enough magic items that need to be preserved and can fill this magic sealing box, then buy it. For you, Undoubtedly a very good deal. ”

Then he said to me: "If your magic items are not enough to fill this magic-sealing box, then I suggest you buy a box one or two sizes smaller. This one is 120 centimeters long and 120 meters high. A sixty-centimeter magic-sealing box will consume one magic crystal fragment in two months, and its price is only half of that of this large magic-sealing box."

(A standard magic crystal fragment is equivalent to one-tenth of a magic crystal, but the price is only about sixty or seventy silver coins. Ten magic crystal fragments cannot be exchanged for a whole magic crystal stone.)

"Speaking of it, this large magic sealing box is not the best-selling model in our store. If you want a more flexible magic sealing box, there is also a portable one here. This kind of magic sealing box is the best-selling one. "It's very convenient to carry." The waiter then pulled out a more exquisite magic-sealing box from the counter and placed it in front of me.

However, my eyes never moved away from the large magic-sealing box. After listening to what he said, I raised my head and asked the waiter: "This large magic-sealing box is in the warehouse of your store." How much inventory is there?”

When the waiter heard my question, he was so shocked that he was speechless. After a while, he said: "The sales of this large magic-sealing box have never been very good, so there is probably a backlog of this type of magic-sealing box in the library." More than thirty!"

I pointed to the magic-sealing box that was only one size smaller, with a length of 180 centimeters and a width of 90 centimeters, and asked the waiter: "So, how many of these magic-sealing boxes have you saved?"

"The sales volume of this kind of magic-sealing box has always been good. There are probably more than fifty of them in the warehouse." The waiter looked at me suspiciously, wondering why I kept asking about the inventory.

At this time, I patted the largest Demon Sealing Box with my hand, then patted the smaller Demon Sealing Box again, and said to the waiter: "Then, I will buy this largest Demon Sealing Box." , and this one is a little smaller, but it’s still usable!”

"Excuse me, how many large magic-sealing boxes and how many size-2 magic-sealing boxes do you want to buy?" When the waiter heard what I said, his eyes immediately lit up and he asked me excitedly.

"Oh...all the magic sealing boxes of these two models in your store and warehouse!" I looked at the waiter and said to him calmly.
