Chapter 84: The Arcane Priory (Part )
As the "stars" took their seats, the gathering began.

The "seeker of knowledge" spoke first:
"Everyone, I believe you all know how well the magic network works..."

"The caster needs to use a specific bridge to connect to the original magic, but this original energy..."

Someone immediately objected.

"No, no, no, that's absolutely not the case!"

"And the priest?"

"Didn't your mentor teach you that arcane magic and divine magic are different systems?"

"I just returned from studying at the Fadlan Palace School of Magic. How could I not understand this?"

"Huh, that's ridiculous."

This group of mages, none of whom had even reached level ten, discussed everything from the operation of spell models to the nature of the magic web and even talked about gods, until it finally turned into a competition of the forces and knowledge behind them.

They argued until their faces were red, and it seemed that they all wanted to show off their knowledge and wisdom at this gathering and gain recognition from the participants.

Miss Tulip, who was sitting next to Cassius, didn't understand and just snorted:

"A guy who likes to show off."

However, Trump, who was standing behind, couldn't help but whispered through the telepathy technique: "Too many mistakes!"

"These humans are really half-full."

He even used the proverb that Cassius had taught him. If he had not wanted to reveal his identity, he would have joined the chaotic verbal battle long ago.

"It seems that the competition among fellow mages is very fierce." Cassius said happily as he looked at the blushing mages.

The "Starry" lady also expressed her opinions from time to time, but she was much calmer, and the opinions she expressed were more profound and rare.

"interesting."

As a warlock, Cassius cast spells more by relying on his will and feelings. He didn't know much about complex theoretical knowledge, so he could only listen to them quietly and try to get some useful information from them.

Although it contained a lot of pretentious boasting, he felt that he had gained a lot.

However, these guys were not truly knowledgeable after all. After arguing for only a whole morning, they didn't have much to say anymore, so they had to give up and move on to the next step - commodity exchange.

At this point, Cassius' eyes suddenly lit up.

He is not like the player who works hard day and night and is still poor, but the lord who owns the entire Storm Peaks.

Every day, ogres and goblins would transport gold from underground mines into his spacious cave, and players would willingly hand over the few gold coins they had to him for the so-called "divine equipment".

A wizard codenamed "Gold Digger" was the first to place a matte black pearl on the table.

"Mana Regeneration Pearl, which allows the holder to cast one more spell of fifth level or below every day, starting at 200 gold coins."

"210 gold coins."

The mage codenamed "Grey Eagle" spoke in a calm and indifferent voice.

Cassius glanced at the panel and confirmed that this was a genuine [Rare] quality item and that all the descriptions were correct. He then said directly, "300 gold coins."

Grey Eagle glanced at him and said nothing more.

A guy codenamed "Mind Whisperer" who had been silent all this time took out a thick bound book from his black robe and placed it on the table. The pungent and spicy smell immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"This book was left by my parents. I am not able to use it yet, so I don't know its effect. I hope I can sell it for a good price here."

Cassius looked at the book, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He could even feel that Trump's heartbeat, which was connected to him by blood, quickened a little.

[Alchemy Outline]

Quality: Rare

This faded, heavy bound volume has a pungent, spicy scent and is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Telfa family for hundreds of years.

The metal fittings of this book are composed of a solidified intermediate substance that can be transformed between copper, iron, lead, silver and gold. When the book was found, it contained the following spells: Haste, Projection, Petrification, Gas Form, Magic Weapon and Supernatural Power. You can use it as a spell book or as a magical weapon. "Good stuff. Buy it!"

Cassius was prepared to make a bold move this time, although he still felt a little distressed by the red dragon's greedy nature.

He called out the price: "500 gold coins."

This amount of money is a huge sum for a small noble, but for the heirs of those big families, it is just a slight pain in the flesh and can still be easily afforded.

The Seeker of Knowledge also raised the price without hesitation: "700 gold coins."

"800 gold coins."

The "Grey Eagle" also made a move: "850 gold coins."

However, Cassius did not hesitate and continued to raise the price: "1000 gold coins."

The "Mind Whisperer" had not expected that the things he had dug out from the family cemetery would be worth so much money. This was almost equivalent to a baron's annual income. With this money, he could have gone to the prosperous south to live a life of luxury - this made him look a little excited.

"He's yours, sir."

He said quickly, fearing that the other party would go back on his word.

Cassius calmly handed the book to Trump, who had transformed into an iron golem behind him.

After he finished this wave of rude price increases, there was no movement around, only faint whispers of discussion.

"Where did he come from?"

"That's one thousand gold coins..."

"Is he the son of a duke? He can easily produce a thousand gold coins."

"I'm afraid he is the heir of a warlock family, or a businessman from Victoria Harbour..."

……

The following products are mostly various and strange magic equipment, which are very interesting, but in Cassius's opinion they are also a bit "useless".

So he never made another move and just watched with interest.

"Tentacle Staff. When you hold the staff, three fleshy tentacles will extend from the end."

"Can these tentacles be controlled?"

"You can control the target of the tentacle attack, but... you can't control its movement and strength."

"Forget it, it's boring."

The seller "Heiyan" broke out in a cold sweat for some reason, and apart from the lady with unknown purpose, no one else was willing to buy it.

"Black Rock" even glanced at the wealthy Cassius, but the other party just smiled and said nothing.

He looked at "Fanxing" and wondered if it was an illusion, but the other person's cheeks seemed to be slightly flushed, but he remained silent deliberately.

He had no choice but to take away his precious wand in disappointment, secretly lamenting his bad luck.

"Withering Staff, can cause eclipse effect on the target."

“Bat cloak. Grab the edge of the cloak with both hands and you can transform yourself into a bat.

"Floating horseshoes. Put four on horses and they'll be a foot off the ground."

"Then why don't I use levitation?"

"The Whip of the Mind. In the hands of a mind flayer, this weapon will tear away a creature's will to live and devour its soul just like tearing off its flesh and blood."

"What about in the hands of ordinary people?"

Someone questioned.

The mage who had been praising me just now suddenly lost his temper and touched his nose in embarrassment:
"Like an ordinary whip."
