my age of magic

Chapter 844. The whereabouts of the horn of the soul

I exchanged six Elune stars for one soul gem as I wished, and the joy in my heart could not be concealed on my face.

Watching the perfectly polished soul gem emit a water pink glow under the refraction of the light, it is like a faint mist flowing continuously in the soul gem, and a faint magical atmosphere surrounds the gem, non-stop I carefully put the gemstones into the wooden box and put them into the magic pouch, smiled faintly at Miss Geraldine, and said 'thank you' to her before leaving.

The elf beauty looked at me suspiciously, and couldn't help but asked me before leaving the side hall: "Is it your pre-prepared plan to exchange the Star of Elune for soul gems?"

I tried my best not to laugh out loud, and shook my head at Miss Geraldine. This matter is absolutely unacceptable, and I said to Miss Geraldine: "How is it possible? There is no list of items at the auction, isn't it?" In order to maintain the mystery of the auction? I didn't know in advance that there would be such rare things as soul gems in this batch of auction items."

She squinted her big blue eyes, standing in the doorway of the side hall, thinking.

Putting one hand on Noah's shoulder, I quickly organized my words, and then said to this elf beauty: "For us bidders, those auction items are like chocolate candies in a box, bidders will never know What will be the next lot, making bidders always worry that if they miss it, there will be no better ones in the future, or they will not meet someone they like. After the outbreak of the war between the planes of the Grimm Empire, the demand for various magic materials skyrocketed, At this time, adopting this auction mode is really very profitable!"

Miss Geraldine pursed her lips and said: "Has anyone told you that you look very hateful?"

I didn't want to continue to entangle with this elf beauty, so I waved her and said, "I hope we can have such a pleasant cooperation next time." The smile on her face was slightly distorted standing at the door of the side hall. My heart has reached the edge of going crazy.

At this moment, the auction has already started. A narrator and an auction host stepped onto the booth one after another. A row of maids in white gauze skirts stood on the booth with exquisite wooden trays. Each wooden tray contained There was a piece of exquisite jewelry. After the host on the stage talked a lot of nonsense, the narrator started to get down to business and introduced the characteristics of the precious magic jewelry on the tray one by one.

Walking shoulder to shoulder with Noah, with Katerina and Shirley Newman following behind us, Noah asked me suspiciously: "Are you taking pictures of what you want?"

I said absently. "Well, if there are other people who are interested in it, they should also shoot it!"

"Perfunctory!" Noah snorted softly, and then asked me again: "Okay, aren't you going to tell me where you got those Elune stars?"

I leaned into Noah's ear and whispered something in a low voice.

Noah opened his eyes wide, and said with some excitement: "What you said is true?"

I nodded my head and admitted: "Of course!"

Noah clenched his fist and waved it vigorously in the air, and then said, "Then you must count me in when hunting this winter. I can't wait now."

I smiled and said to Noah: "No problem, maybe you will fall in love with our snow..."

The original seats were occupied, so we could only sit in the vacant seats at the back, which is a bit far from the central booth, and the details of the accessories could not be seen clearly.

At this time, the narrator on the stage had finished speaking, and the maids carrying wooden trays walked down the booth one by one.

They walked into the auditorium, allowing bidders to watch the auction items up close.Wherever those maids in white gauze skirts go, they will be the focus of countless eyes.

The pace of bidding for each lot is very fast. At the beginning, there will always be a large group of people swarming for it. After the price gradually rises, people will withdraw one after another. Once the auction is successful, the waiters in the auction house will leave immediately. Come out, take the auction item and go directly to the soft seat to trade.Some sought-after jewelry is often looted.

Perhaps it was because the sluggish magic market in the imperial capital had been silent for too long, and the desire to buy burst out at this time, and almost none of the auctions were unsold.

Noah bought a pair of stud earrings inlaid with emeralds for Xueli Newman. It is said that the magic circle drawn on the earrings can 'speed up the recovery of mental power'. The earrings are very delicate and beautiful, Xueli Newman. With a happy face, Newman asked Noah to help her put it on her earlobe, and then pressed Noah's hand to prevent him from buying anything casually.

Just in the middle of the auction activities in the jewelry auction hall, Noah, Shirley Newman and I left the jewelry auction hall.

After walking out of the auction hall, Shirley Newman pulled Noah and said in a low voice: "Why are you so nervous, you still have to join in the fun with those noble ladies in the imperial capital. The magic market in the imperial capital has been suppressed for too long. The transaction price of each jewelry auction The price is so ridiculously expensive, and there are still people who are willing to pay for it. I really don’t understand the thoughts of these ladies in the imperial capital, but Noah, you have to be patient. After this period of time, the magic market is so chaotic. Will recover, it would not be wise to buy me jewelry now."

Noah is not a person who is short of money, and he is very bold in his usual days, but this does not mean that Noah is a very casual rich and rich man, anyone can take advantage of him.Shirley Newman was able to keep her mind very clear in front of so many bright and gorgeous jewels in the jewelry auction hall, and she did not lose herself in front of these luxurious jewels at all, which made me feel a new understanding of her.

She could still be so calm in front of so many gorgeous jewels, she thought Shirley Newman's family must be very rich.

"The summer festival dance party is coming to an end, do you have any plans where to go to practice?" Noah turned to me and asked.

I rubbed my nose, and then said: "If there is nothing else, I want to meet the plane of Hierro once. Since I have an agreement with the Duke of Samoyed to rebuild the Trum stronghold within three years, I want to start from now on." It should be actively prepared from the beginning, after all, even if this is a small town, it needs to be rebuilt brick by brick."

Noah rolled his eyes weakly upwards, and said: "No way, you still have to go to the Hierro plane, how long will the vacation last, do you think you can still enjoy the temporary teleportation magic circle of the academy? Such a return from the imperial capital to Tanton City will consume your entire vacation. Didn’t you agree to go to Emerald Bay for vacation together? I also want to swim in Emerald Bay with you, maybe we can find a big boat together Going out to sea, the various resources in the sea are far more abundant than those on land, and we can also hunt those magical beasts in the sea on board."

"Speaking of which, Ji Jia, your injury is almost healed! If you don't return to the academy to attend classes, the teachers of those magic classes will hardly remember what you look like." Shirley Newman held Noah's arm, Probe asked me.

I chuckled, then scratched my head in distress, and said, "Yeah! It's the end of the semester in a blink of an eye, and this semester flies by so fast!"

When the few of us walked out of the auction house, we found that the outside of the auction house was still crowded with people.Fortunately, the auction house has always maintained order at the entrance, and there are waiters who can help us open up a passage and rush out of the crowd of onlookers.

Squeezing out from the crowd, I realized that the magic robes on my body were all crumpled. In such hot weather, standing on the street would feel stuffy and a little out of breath.Noah protected Shirley Newman, followed behind Katerina and me, barely squeezed out of the wall of people.

Noah wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, Shirley Newman's maid hurriedly held up a small parasol for Shirley, and Katerina stood in the dazzling sunlight wearing a magic pattern leather armor , her white and greasy skin looked a little glaring in the sun, and the gorgeous magic pattern leather armor exuded a fierce aura of walking down from the battlefield on her body.

Noah looked puzzled at the nobles gathered at the entrance of the auction house, and asked suspiciously: "What is being auctioned in the auction house, so that these people refuse to leave even if they can only gather outside the auction house?"

I said: "I guess there must be a lot of people who came for the batch of intermediate magic herbs that arrived in the imperial capital from Buenos. Now it seems that this ticket is really precious, so many Nobles are blocked from the auction house, but we have the opportunity to participate in the auction, but we still leave halfway, we don't know how to cherish it!"

Shirley Newman glanced back at the tall stone pillars of the auction house, and said, "So many people rushed over to loot those mid-level magic herbs. I don't know what kind of outrageous price those herbs will be driven up to! The auction house seized this opportunity Holding the summer auction, this opportunity is really beneficial!"

Noah grabbed Shirley Newman's little hand, Shirley Newman blushed, and retracted her hand a little embarrassedly, but worried that Noah would be annoyed, and hurriedly said: "Don't think about it, you should think about us What do you want for lunch!"

Noah turned to look at me, as if asking for my opinion.

I looked up at the sky, seeing the scorching sun in the sky, I just said casually: "Whatever, keep it simple, I have to go back to the Magic Academy in the afternoon, where are you going?"

Noah scratched his head, and only said: "I finally got the chance to come out. I don't want to go back to the academy so early. Shirley, let's go to Weiyang Lake for fun?"

Shirley Newman immediately echoed, "Okay!"

We just found a high-end restaurant in the fifth street, had a quick lunch, and then went our separate ways. Noah and Shirley Newman took the magic caravan to Weiyang Lake, and I found a magic caravan on the street, and Katerina left together, I will send Katerina home first, and then take the bus back to the Royal Academy of Magic to find Teacher Xiao En.

……

Sean stood by the window sill, with the pink soul gem in his wrinkled palm, watching him nod affirmatively.

It was only after I let out a long breath that a boulder hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground. Scholar Xiao En has seen a lot, and since he can get his affirmation, it proves that this soul gem is real.

"If you want to get the 'soul gem', only after killing the lich and breaking the phylactery of the lich, the soul power in it will have a chance to give birth to the 'soul gem' when it is dispersed. In the world of the undead, the corpse Witches are equivalent to magicians in the human world, but the strength of a Lich who can give birth to a soul gem after breaking a phylactery should not be underestimated. A witcher or an adventure team that can hunt a Lich must secretly Diving into the world of the undead, God knows what kind of unknown dangers there are!" Scholar Xiao En was a little emotional, squinting his eyes and staring at the soul gem, and after a while, he put the soul gem into the magic sealing box and closed it. After the cover, he still couldn't calm down with some turbulent mood.

"Once a person gets old, he will inevitably have some interest in these undead spirit creatures." The wrinkles on Scholar Xiaon's face have deepened, and he seems to be aging a little bit recently, and then he said: After death, if the soul does not ascend to the kingdom of God, it will fall to the world of the undead, and I often wonder, if I fall to the world of the undead after death, will I fall into a corpse?"

I casually opened a magic book on the desk, and the dazzling magic brilliance shot out from it almost burned my eyes. Light, I quickly reached out and closed the magic book.

Scholar Xiao En reached out to grab the magic book, put it back on the shelf next to it, and said lightly: "If you want to read the contents of the magic book, you have to borrow it formally. You react quickly, and many students are rejected. The 'flash' magic hurts the eyes, and it is inevitable to suffer the pain of blindness in half a day."

I rubbed my sore eyes and complained softly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Don't let you suffer, you will probably never know the rules in these libraries, wouldn't it be more memorable this way?" Scholar Shaun turned around from the bookshelf and looked back at me and said.

His deep eyes fell on a piece of broken parchment on the desk. It seemed that there were only a few short sentences recorded on the parchment, and it was a kind of text that I couldn't understand.

Scholar Xiao En stood in front of the desk, stared down for a long time, and then slowly said: "Maybe someone from the Naga Sea tribe knows the whereabouts of the horn of the soul. Those misty sea monsters have lived on some islands all year round. They will use their beautiful songs to call Once those ships sail into the sea of ​​mist, it is very difficult to escape from that sea area, it is said that those ships all touched the hidden reefs and sank on the bottom of the sea, and the people on board could not escape the huge mouth of the sea beast."

"There are only a few records in the diaries of some travelers about the misty sea monsters. Most of the travelers who encountered those shipwrecks died unexpectedly. A long time ago, a biography recorded that the sea monsters held Perched on the rocks of an island, or on a stranded ghost ship, holding the horn of the soul..."
