Chapter 37 [Secret Lock]
“Something happened, I haven’t been out for a long time,” Gothe smiled helplessly, explained, and then asked: “Do you still accept the primary spider poison potion? ?”
“Of course.” Pierre nodded with a smile and sent a message to Gothe.
“Recently, for some unknown reason, the number of wild beasts outside the city has increased significantly, and they have become much more violent. Even earth-line creatures appear much more frequently, so there are more people going out to hunt.”
“The demand for primary spider poison potions has greatly increased during this period, and the supply is somewhat in short supply.”
Primary spider poison potion is originally used by hunters to smear on arrows and weapons to deal with beasts. Its intense paralysis is a sharp weapon against low-level earth-line creatures and beasts.
Hunting activities have increased, and the sales of primary spider poison potions have naturally increased.
This is good news for Amap.
He moved slightly in his heart, and at the same time handed a set of primary spider poison potions to Pierre.
Pierre took the potion, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then nodded with satisfaction, "The quality of your goods is still so good."
He put away the primary spider poison potion, took out some coins from the drawer under the counter and handed it to Gothe.
"Did you give too much?" Gothe did some mental calculations and found that Pierre actually gave 1 Sean gold coin and 15 clover silver coins, which is 35 silver.
This is 2 silver more than the original purchase price of 33 silver.
It's not a big amount, but Gaode has no intention of taking advantage of this.
“Didn’t I tell you that during this period, the supply of primary spider poison potions exceeds the demand, so its price has also been increased by 10%. Naturally, I have to increase the purchase price, so I can take advantage of you. ." Pierre explained.
Knowing that it was not too much, Gaode accepted it without any courtesy.
"By the way, what you said before about taking over the repair of magic items, do you still want to count?" After the transaction was completed, Pierre stopped Gothe and asked again.
Gaode's eyes lit up, "Is there some business?"
Repairing magic items can not only make some extra money, but also indirectly understand some spells, which is a killing two birds with one stone.
“Yes, after I released the news, someone actually came to ask about the situation a few days ago.” Pierre nodded and did not sit down in a hurry. “It’s just that you haven’t been here during this time. Come on, I didn’t know what your situation was, so I didn’t respond directly.”
"But he still left me an address," the little old man approached Gothe and said, "The price that person offered was unusually high."
"How high?" Gothe asked subconsciously. road.
Pierre stretched out his right hand and then opened it.
“Five Sean gold coins?” Gothe was slightly shocked.
Pierre nodded heavily, "Are you shocked? I was also shocked when I heard it."
"A first-level magic item?" Gothe said hesitantly.
“Yes,” Pierre spread his hands, “otherwise how could we give such a high repair fee.”
The value of a level 0 extraordinary item is only 12-15 gold coins. If the repair cost is 5 gold, it is better to buy a new one.
The only thing that can give such a high repair fee is an extraordinary item.
“Can it be repaired?” Pierre asked.
The difficulty of repairing a level 1 extraordinary item is not the same as repairing a level 0 extraordinary item. Pierre was not sure whether Gothe's ability was sufficient, which was one of the reasons why he did not respond at the time. "Yes," Gothe nodded, "it just takes time, and"
He paused and said in a deep voice: "Additional money is required!"
The repair fee is generally about 10% of the value of the item itself, which is a more reasonable price, and the average price of a first-level extraordinary item is 65 gold.
In addition, it is almost impossible to find a second person in Hogan City who has the ability to repair an extraordinary item.
Things are more expensive when they are rare. In this case, it is reasonable to increase the price appropriately.
Pierre also understands the market. Naturally, he will not think that Gaode is talking too much about the lion. He even nodded in agreement and said: "The repair fee of 5 gold is high, but if you repair a link that is extraordinary, As for the items, the price is indeed on the low side.”
“As long as it can be repaired, I can help you discuss the price. How about you come to the store the day after tomorrow?” The little old man smiled. The landlord said
"I'm sorry to bother you," of course Gaode would have no objection, "I'll come back to the store the day after tomorrow."
"Boss, do you know that between the 0 ring and the 1 Among the ring spells, is there any spell that can protect a box and prevent it from being opened by outsiders?" After hesitating, Gothe asked.
You must find a way to open the wooden spell box left by Master Seda.
Although asking directly like this would expose some information, he felt that he could still bear this risk.
Besides, if you deliberately hide something, you may not be able to hide it from others, but it will make it easier for others to think too much.
And after these days of contact, Gothe and Pierre have established some slight trust.
Of course, the most important thing is that through these few contacts with Pierre, he vaguely realized that this little old man was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. He was not just a small grocery store owner. He is extremely knowledgeable and is the most likely person he knows to answer his questions.
Not to mention, the wooden sign at the door of the grocery store also states Pierre's extensive "business" scope: part-time item recycling and treasure identification.
There seems to be no big problem in treating the wooden spell box left by Master Seda as a treasure.
"Protect a box and make it unable to be opened by outsiders?"
Pierre did not disappoint Gauthe, and frowned his slightly white eyebrows and thought about it. After a moment, he gave his answer: "Based on your description, all I can think of is the secret lock."
"The secret lock?" Gothe raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the level 1 magic arcane lock," Pierre introduced in detail: "The arcane lock can be cast on a door, box or other closed container to lock the container with magic, greatly enhancing its security. < br>
Unless there is a corresponding unlocking spell or powerful magical means, it will be almost impossible to open it. "
"This means general physics including picking locks, violent knocking, etc. The method will not be effective on the container where the arcane lock is applied. "
"Because of this effect, the arcane lock can also protect the container," Pierre explained.
"Of course, there may be other spells that can achieve the effects you describe. After all, I only have a little understanding of the most common and common spells," the little old man shook his head gently and sighed: "The magic is There are too many.”
"If you want to open the secret lock, is there any way?" Gothe was almost certain that the wooden box left by Master Seda had a secret lock on it. He couldn't help but frown, feeling helpless.
Just the [Tracking Mark] of the trick has already left him at a loss. As a level 1 spell, the secret magic lock must have left him even more helpless.
“If you don’t know the secret unlocking spell set when casting the secret lock and still want to open the secret lock, one thing I can think of is to dispel the magic, which can directly cancel the spell effect of the secret lock.”
"The other is the tapping technique, which can temporarily suppress the magic effect of the arcane lock in a short period of time," Pierre spread his hands, "but dispel magic is a level 3 spell, so don't think about it."
