Chapter 14 New Spells (Part 2)
Gothe took the yellow paper from Yom and quickly browsed the information on it.
There are five 0-level spells listed on the spell list:
[Acid Splash] (conjuration system, 0 level)
Launch a small ball at the target Acid ball, the initial maximum distance is 25 feet (approximately equal to 8.5 meters).
You must make a successful ranged touch attack to hit the target, and the acid ball deals acid damage.
The acid in the acid ball will disappear after a few seconds.
[Increase resistance] (Protection system, level 0)
Inject mana into the target (the target can be yourself) to increase the target's spell resistance, thereby reducing the spell damage and spells it takes. The effect lasts for one minute per cast.
[Blade Protection] (Protection system, 0 levels)
Reach out and draw a protective mark in the air, making yourself resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from weapon attacks.
[Freezing Ray] (Energy Department, Level 0)
Launch a cold blue-white ray at the target to perform a long-range spell attack, with an initial maximum distance of 25 feet.
If hit, the target will suffer freezing damage and be slowed.
[Reading Magic] (Prophecy, 0 Ring)
You can decipher otherwise undecipherable magical writing on objects: books, scrolls, weapons, and so on. Such deciphering usually does not release the magic contained in the writing.
In addition, once this spell has been cast and a piece of magical text has been read, the same piece of text can be understood later without having to resort to reading magic again.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Gaode forcibly suppressed his excitement and looked up expressionlessly.
Satisfied, very satisfied!
How could he be dissatisfied
The spell list provided by Yom not only included the lethal spells he needed most, but there were also two of them.
However, the most important principle in trading is not to let others see that you are satisfied with the transaction, otherwise you will inevitably end up with a higher price.
"One or two spells are pretty good, barely meeting my needs, but the number of spell recipes is a little less." Gothe replied with half praise and half derogation.
"That's quite a lot. To master all these five spells, it will take at least one or two years for a mage apprentice." Yom muttered.
Gothe pretended not to hear Yom's muttering and asked straight to the point: "How much are you going to charge for a spell recipe?"
"3 little roosters." Yom held out three fingers.
"It's too expensive. I can only pay 1 gold coin for a spell recipe at most." Gothe frowned slightly and directly discounted Yom's bid by half.
"In the official Mage Association, the average price of a 0-level spell formula is 6 gold." Yom immediately emphasized.
“You have said that this is the official price. If your price has no obvious advantage compared to the official price, why should I buy the spell formula from you? Not only does it violate the ban, but it also risks huge risks. Risk, after all, who knows whether the magic formula you sell me is true or false?”
"Two golds and ten silvers," Yom was silent again for a moment before his voice finally sounded, "I am a native of Hogan City. I live here and cannot escape, so at least I have a certain guarantee of the authenticity of the formula. It's far beyond what you can just find someone to trade with."
Gothe looked at Pierre who had been watching the show.
Pierre is also a man, nodded and said: "Yom is indeed from Hogan. He has lived in Hogan City for so many years and has never left."
Gothe's heart If Pierre hadn't lied to him, the authenticity of the formula in Yom's hand would indeed be guaranteed to a certain extent.
After all, a monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. It is impossible for Yom to escape his hometown just to do a business that does not exceed ten gold coins of Sean.
Looking at it this way, it is not unacceptable to be slightly more expensive.
"Sell me three spell formulas in a package, at a fixed price of 6 gold coins." 2 gold and 10 silver were actually the price that Gaode wanted, but he chose to continue bargaining.
“The price I gave is already the lowest price.” Yom gritted his teeth.
"That's a pity." Gothe shook his head, returned the list to Yom neatly, and immediately turned around and walked out of the store, his expression extremely calm, but actually his heart was full of nervousness. Will you call me?
He knew very well that if he missed Yom, it would be difficult to find anyone willing to trade spell formulas with him in a short period of time.
What Gaode lacks most now is time.
But he is really short of money, so he can save some money if he can.
Anyway, this is just an attempt.
Gothe was already prepared. If Yom really didn't stop him before he left Pierre's grocery store, he would immediately look back with a smile of failed speculation: "Okay sir, 2 gold 10 silver, you win”
You can't eat your face, but you can eat many meals with the 30 silver you save.
One step, two steps, three steps. Gothe was about to walk out of Pierre's grocery store when Yom's slightly frustrated voice finally came from behind.
“Wait.”
Gothe turned around and looked at Yom.
"Okay, just 6 gold coins, you win, if I hadn't been short of money recently..."
pretty! No matter whether in my previous life or this life, I can be so successful in negotiating prices for the first time. I am truly gifted.
Gaode praised himself in his heart, and then showed a plain smile on his face, "Sir, this should be called a win-win situation."
He was in a really good mood, so A smile comes from the heart.
“Which three spell recipes do you want?” Yom asked.
"Acid splash, freezing ray, increased resistance." Gaode had already made a decision in his mind.
With his current financial resources, purchasing three spell configurations is the limit.
First of all, two attack spells are required.
For the remaining three spell formulas, reading magic can be eliminated first. It is not that this spell is worse than other spells, but Gaode does not need it at the moment.
What he needs is a spell that can enhance his combat power.
As for blade protection and resistance improvement, both spells belong to the protection system, but they target different types of damage, which are divided into "magic resistance" and "physical resistance".
When the Seda mage is used as an imaginary enemy, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to increase the resistance: an old mage will not take out a long sword to fight with you with a bayonet, right?
Although the transaction price was 30 silver coins less than expected, it was obvious that the transaction price of 6 gold coins was within Yom's psychological acceptance range.
He simply took out three thin booklets from his body, which were the three spell formulas selected by Gothe.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, Gothe also took out 6 gold coins from his body and completed the transaction with Yom.
After receiving the money, Yom said hello to Pierre and left first. He had been waiting for Gaude in the store for a long time and was eager to go back.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Pierre." The satisfied Gothe thanked Pierre.
"It's reasonable to charge money to do things. You don't have to be polite to me. On the other hand, I have to trouble you to take care of my small business." Pierre still said with a smile.
Ten silver clover coins are not a big deal for him, but it is just a matter of saying a few words and he can make a fortune without paying anything else. Pierre is naturally very happy. of.
