Antiquities exchange meeting.
As the name suggests, this is a wizarding group exchange meeting centered on ancient artifacts.
The old gentleman wearing a top hat is one of the original initiators of this exchange meeting, his name is Abel. He is a third-level peak wizard with rich experience. There are rumors that he may have been promoted to a fourth-level wizard.
Of course, this exchange meeting is not just about exchanging ancient cultural relics. After all, the number of ancient cultural relics is too small and it is impossible to unearth them every week. When a group of wizards gathered together, they couldn't just stare at each other, so they slowly added everything else, such as the anecdotes they each came into contact with, the commission of different events, the acquisition of specific information, and the acquisition of various Requirements for spell props, etc.
Eventually, the exchange meeting developed into a small buying and selling market and a tea party where we talked about everything.
The reason why Richard joined this exchange meeting was for a simple purpose, which was to learn more about the current situation of the mainstream wizard circle, and to find out what he lacked, such as the unpopular blood spell that he was currently looking forward to.
It is true that these needs can be solved by communicating with the black-faced old man Oscar. However, now that he has separated from the Society of Truth, he cannot continue to provide Oscar with a lot of information about the Society of Truth as before, so he tries not to trouble Oscar as much as the others can solve.
The exchange between him and Oscar was of equal value. He hoped that the favor debt owed by Oscar before would be used in more important places, and he would not waste it if he could.
Richard thought this way, and the old gentleman Abel who announced the start of the exchange meeting looked at him and said: "According to our practice, every exchange meeting is started by the people at the back, so let's ask Wizard Richard to start. Let’s communicate with him.”
"Pah! Pah!"
Scattered applause sounded in the field, which was regarded as encouragement, and everyone adjusted the position of the sofa and looked at it.
Li Cha was not surprised to see him. After all, he had participated in this exchange meeting many times and was already familiar with the corresponding process.
Facing the people looking at him, he nodded gently and said, "Okay, let me start the communication from myself. In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is communication. I am here mainly to seek help from everyone. .
There are two main contents of help: first, as before, continue to seek various unpopular blood spells, whether they are complete or incomplete, and I will give you a satisfactory price;
The second, slightly more specific, is my quest for a weapon. This weapon does not need to have any special effects, but it must be heavy and strong, and it would be best if it is shaped like a stick. Well, that's all. "
After Richard finished speaking, there was a slight silence in the audience. You looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything for a while.
Just when Richard thought that none of his needs could be satisfied, a lean male wizard sitting on the sofa on his left raised his hand and looked over.
"Wizard Richard, hello. My name is Leith. We met at the last two exchange meetings." The lean male wizard introduced himself. The skin on his face stuck to his cheeks, like water lines. Fluctuation, "I think I can satisfy the two things you need."
"Huh? Seriously?" Richard looked at the other party, slightly surprised.
Could it be such a coincidence
The other party didn't hesitate. He reached down to his feet and picked up a cylindrical object wrapped in black cloth and over one and a half meters long. The black cloth was removed, revealing a straight gray-brown wooden stick with strange patterns on its surface, vaguely emitting energy fluctuations, unlike ordinary things.
The other wizards looked over with curiosity. Richard moved his eyebrows and asked Reis, "What is this?"
"This is the branch of the legendary World Tree." A lean wizard named Reis explained.
Richard raised his eyebrows.
"Ha!" Seeing Richard's expression, Reis chuckled, "You're just kidding, how could it be a branch of the World Tree? After all, it's just a legend. In fact, it's a staff."
"Staff? Is this really a staff?" Richard blinked, slightly doubtful. After all, the thing in front of me, ignoring the energy fluctuations, looks more like an iron rod than a staff.
Reis also knew why Richard was suspicious, and showed a serious expression as he confirmed: "This is indeed a staff. Speaking of why it looks like this, we have to start with the production of the staff."
Reis shared his knowledge without hesitation: "Everyone should know that there is not only one way to make a staff, but many. In addition to the more common method of selecting appropriate materials and making it by a staff wizard, there is another Planting method.
The so-called planting method is more complicated and troublesome than the previous one, but it is easier to meet personal needs. It usually involves planting a seed of a staff vine first. From the time the seed germinates, different potions and spells are applied to it. After careful cultivation and maintenance, it grows into a specific form.
In this case, a staff made from mature staff vines, whether in length, diameter, or other aspects, would be more suitable for the caster than an ordinary staff, and of course, the cost would be higher. "
"In that case, why don't you keep the staff for yourself?" Someone objected.
Reis showed a bitter smile and sighed: "Actually, I think so too, but this is a sad story: I have wanted to get a staff completely customized for myself since a long time ago. I have been busy for three years since preparing the seeds, waiting for the final success.
But after all, I am not a farmer or a gardener, and I don’t know much about planting. When this staff vine grew for the first two years, it was normal. But in the third year, I don't know if there was something wrong with my maintenance method or other problems. The longer it grew, the weirder it became. It was completely different from what I imagined. .
As you can see now, its current length is close to my height. It is extremely strong and far stronger than ordinary steel. It is also extremely heavy, weighing more than 40 kilograms. Not to mention that I use it as a staff for fighting. Daily travel is a big problem. I had no choice but to sell it. "
At the end, Reis sighed, looked at Richard and asked: "Wizard Richard, what do you think? If you are satisfied, this unprocessed staff vine can be sold for five hundred low-grade crystal coins. Here, I can also give you an incomplete copy of the Somu Staff Planting Guide.
You have to know that this staff vine was able to maintain a certain level of activity within three days just after I pulled it out of the soil. If you buy it back, even if you don't use it as a weapon, if you plant it back in the soil and cultivate it carefully, you will still be able to get the staff you want, and you will definitely not lose money. As for me, forget it, I have completely given up on planting staffs. "
You have given up hope yourself, but you think I can change everything because you think I have a special talent for planting... After hearing similar words, Richard could not help but curse, but did not show it on his face. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: Torres nodded in agreement: "Okay, deal."
