No matter how slow you walk, as long as the direction is correct, you will still reach the end if you keep walking. Therefore, even though Ryan's heart strongly rejects the task Luke gave him, he cannot refuse it with any reason that he can explain. , after all, Luke is Faras's father, and he and Faras are lovers. Now Ryan has some experience of Victor's feelings, but he doesn't have much time to sigh. Maybe if he concentrates, he won't You can feel the passage of time. Before you know it, Ryan and his party finally arrived at the magical capital of Moon City.
Looking at the majestic and huge city gate in front of him, even Ryan, who was in a bad mood, couldn't help but sigh. Regardless of other people's eyes, he went straight to the city wall, stretched out his hand and gently touched those huge gates. Rocks, each of these rocks are several times larger than Ryan. I really don’t know how they were transported here in the first place.
After thousands of years, the rocks here have long lost their edges and corners. Ryan touched it with his hand and soon felt the rapid passage of long years from the palm of his hand. He also seemed to hear the sound of the city wall in his ears. Sighing, Ryan could not describe this feeling in detail in words, but he could confirm that this feeling was real. Perhaps, this was the precipitation of history.
After Flanner paid the city entry tax, Ryan strolled on the streets of Moon City. This is a city completely different from the imperial capital of Fernando City. It has thousands of years of history. Maybe there is a story that belongs to it,
There are solid buildings on both sides of the street, and Ryan can feel the earth magic attached to the buildings without paying too much attention. It would not be unusual if there were only one or two buildings, but looking at the whole city, So, this has to be amazing,
"What a great deal. The Imperial Capital cannot compare with it in this aspect." Farasi, who was walking side by side with Ryan, also exclaimed: "After all, the history of the Imperial Capital is too short. Even if it has many advantages, it still cannot be compared with it." It is impossible to have all the buildings in the entire city blessed with magic. This requires not only money, but also enough magicians."
"Let's go in and take a look." Ryan saw a shop selling magic items in front of him, so he took Farasi's hand and walked in quickly.
"Wow, there are so many things here." Faras looked at the dazzling array of magic items in front of her, choosing them with great interest. While choosing, she said: "What do you think I should buy? Hey, this is good... ah , this one is so beautiful, hey, Ryan, look, this is the most suitable one for you... "
With a smile on his face, Ryan looked at Farasi, who was as excited as a child seeing his favorite toy. He gave her some suggestions from time to time: "This is good. The magic circle above is very finely made. It can be considered a fine product. This But it’s not that good. Look at the fire magic circle. I actually painted a few more strokes, which actually weakened the final effect... "
Soon, Farasi picked out a lot of things. She held these exquisite small items with joy and glanced at Ryan. Ryan took out his money bag very cooperatively and asked the person who was following behind. The shop owner dressed as a businessman: "Calculate how much it is in total."
The shop owner dressed as a businessman did not speak immediately. He reached out and touched his beard, looked at Ryan up and down, and suddenly asked: "I just heard your evaluation of these products in my shop. Let's talk a few words." They all hit the mark, it seems that young man you are also proficient in magic circles."
Ryan smiled slightly and said modestly: "I have learned a little bit."
"Fur." The shop owner said with a self-deprecating smile: "I have been in this business for 20 years, and I can't even say that I know all about these products. Young people, sometimes being too modest can make people angry. I feel hypocritical, but having said that, there are not many young people like you today who can calm down and delve into the magic circle. Just think of us as friends. I don’t want your money. You chose the magic I collected. For items, you only need to exchange items you made with your own hands. This is also the rule of my small shop."
"Oh." Ryan looked at the shop owner in front of him in surprise, and the latter explained with a smile: "This small shop of mine is incomparable with those shops that are full of capital. I only have gadgets here. However, since I have not closed the business for 20 years, I have my own advantages. I set a rule on the first day I opened the door, that is, for customers who are proficient in magic circles and good at making magic items, We barter, and many magicians come to my place regularly to exchange their latest creations with others', so as to exchange their experiences."
"Well, I understand." Ryan nodded. He thought about his works carefully and found that most of them were magic scrolls. It would be a bit awkward to exchange those kinds of things for a lot of gadgets in Farasi's hands. It makes the scenery look bad, but I haven’t really done anything with such gadgets that I carry with me.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. My skills are not good enough, and now they are basically just magic scrolls." Ryan said to the shop owner: "Exchanging something like that would be a bit..."
"It doesn't matter, young man." The commodity owner said with a smile: "If I were too focused on these, I wouldn't use this barter method. Did you know that 20 years ago, there was a young man who A child who was only 9 years old came to my place and exchanged the first magic scroll he made for a magic cane. The cane cost at least 2,000 gold coins, and the magic scroll was quite simple and made of the worst materials. , can barely be regarded as a magic item. Many friends said that I suffered a loss in that transaction, but I don’t think so.”
"Fifteen years ago, on his 24th birthday, this child successfully passed the test of the Magic Guild and became a senior magician. All the teachers at Mochizuki City Magic Academy believe that this magician still has a lot of potential. If nothing else happens, he should be promoted to a magister before the age of 35, and in the future, even becoming a great magister may not be impossible."
When the shop owner said this, he glanced at the magician robes worn by Ryan and Faras, and then said: "Do you know how much the first magic item in this magician's life is worth now? That magic cane is worth a lot, but The first magic scroll produced by this magician is very likely to witness the birth of a legend. I don’t need to elaborate on which is more important.”
"I understand." Ryan and Faras said in unison,
Ryan glanced at Faras, and then said to Flanner: "Fanny has chosen a total of twelve items. Please bring out the twelve magic scrolls."
After Ryan said this, he turned his head and said to the shop owner: "We don't dare to say anything about the birth of a legend. We just think of ourselves as the stars in the sky, playing supporting roles for those bright moons. "
"Haha, young people are really funny when they talk. I wish you both a bright future."
"Please take it." Flanner counted 10 magic missile scrolls and 2 fireball scrolls from his body, and handed them to the shop owner with both hands, and the shop owner took them respectfully with both hands. He went over and looked through it briefly, then motioned to a young apprentice next to him to take a box and put the 12 magic scrolls in it.
"Please cooperate and leave your name." The merchandise owner closed the box and looked at Ryan with a pen. Ryan said his name and watched as the shop owner wrote Ryan's on the box. name, and briefly described the exchange today with a few strokes, and then solemnly handed it over to the apprentice next to him.
After the shop owner finished doing this, he took another box from the apprentice and said to Farasi, "Please leave a piece of work."
Ryan was slightly stunned. He knew that Farasi didn't know how to make a magic circle. He was about to explain, but he saw Farasi take out a ruby ring from his body with a smile and handed it to the other party.
Farasi winked at Ryan with her eyes, telling him not to talk too much, and then said to the shop owner: "This is a simple ring, that is, the material is so-so, and the craftsmanship is not worth mentioning, but it is just for the occasion. , please don’t worry about it.”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The shop owner took the ruby ring and briefly identified it. He found that the magic circle on it was extremely simple, but the inlaid ruby was of quite good quality. It was just as Faras said. He couldn't help but smile and said: "I heard that those legendary artifacts are all made of the best materials. This magic ring already has the first characteristics of an artifact. I ask this beautiful lady to work hard for the rest."
Faras burst into laughter. Of course she understood what the other party meant. She was obviously pointing out that the material of her ruby ring was good enough and the craftsmanship was bad. However, it was given to her by Victor, the work of the mainland's chief magic item maker. Can it be so simple? The magic circles on it are all drawn in a superimposed manner. The shop owner in front of her may not be able to see it through the sunlight. There is no need for her to elaborate. Maybe someone will open this box many years later and be surprised. I don’t know what kind of expression I would make when I found out that what was inside was definitely not an expensive toy.
When the shop owner had written down Farasi's name and the circumstances of the exchange as usual, Farasi happily took Ryan away. The shop owner watched Ryan and the others disappear, and held two people beside him. The apprentice of the box said: "Put it in the ordinary works warehouse. They are just two junior magicians. Let's wait until they will be promoted to senior magicians like Mayne and Elber in a few decades."
