The mage arrives

Dalinar sighed because of the cloud of war, and immediately put on a familiar smile: "Master Baron, what do you want to buy?"

Gordon handed Dalinar the shopping list he had made long ago.

"Let me see...alkaline powder, cinnabar, charcoal, sulfur, quartz powder, rock toad blood..." Dudley glanced at the list, "no problem, they are all common spell-casting materials, I have them here, It is guaranteed to be fresh and good, and we will never perfuse you with expired products.”

Dalinar ran to the side of the shelf, rummaged through it for a while, and found all the spell-casting materials Gordon needed, and put them into small labeled pockets.

"A total of 180 gold coins and 33 silver coins, forget about the silver coins, as a discount for a big customer like you." Dalina said.

180 seven gold coins is nothing to Gordon today, but to Dalinar who runs a small shop like "Wild Gem", it is a good deal.In a month, it was rare for him to make a few big deals exceeding one hundred gold coins.

Gordon casually took out a piece of spell-casting material from a bag marked "Octopus Tentacle".

He pinched it, and found that the dried octopus tentacles, the size of his index finger, were moderately elastic. When he smelled them, they still had a salty sea-tide taste and were blue-black in color.This is a high-grade star sea octopus tentacles. If it is used to cast "Ava black tentacles", the success rate can be increased by at least 15%.

As Dalinar said, the spellcasting materials sold here are really good.

Gordon asked again, "Since the store is called Wilderness Gems, are there any gems for sale here?"

He was going to seize the ten days before the orc soldiers approached the city.Learn another five-ring spell.As for the spell book that the lord of the scepter gave him, the most suitable one for him was "Antaello Burst Gem".The casting material of this spell is gems.By infusing arcane power into specially treated gems.Fully activate the source energy stored in it, and then produce an explosion, killing the enemy.

The power of this special spell is at least [-]% stronger than that of the ordinary five-ring evocation school spell. If the quality of the gemstone is good, it can even reach more than [-]%.But the disadvantage is that the cost is too high.Usually a casting material for a five-ring spell.The price is five gold coins.And the raw material used to cast this spell, even if it is just an ordinary gemstone, is worth more than twenty gold coins.

"You need gems?" Dalinar heard Gordon say.His eyes lit up, and his whole body became alive, "Of course, of course, I'm not bragging. My store has the best quality gems in Rock City."

finished.He immediately ran behind the counter and took out a thick black iron box from below.He chanted a simple spell to remove the spell seal on the black iron box, and took out a key to unlock the metal lock of the black iron box.Only then did he take out a small linen bag from inside.

clap la la...

Following Dalinar's toppling action, the colorful gemstones rolled down onto the table, adding a bit of splendor to the entire small shop.

"Master Baron. What kind of gemstone do you want? Do you have any requirements for quality? If you have special needs for shape, I can cut it for you for free. These gemstones are all purchased from adventurers who returned from the Great Wasteland. You know, Da The natural arcane energy in the wasteland is active, and all kinds of strange phenomena emerge in endlessly, and it is easiest to produce top-grade gems."

"I don't have any special requirements." Gordon didn't expect such a small store in Gaoyan City to have such a good source of gemstones, which can be compared to those high-end magic stores in Clear Water City.He pushed aside those flawed gemstones, or those gemstones that were too small, too low-quality, and did not even meet the secondary standards, and then said, "I want all of these."

"All... all...!?" Dullin swallowed, feeling that Gordon's words made his heart beat violently.

This is a huge deal worth a thousand gold coins!

The gems in his hands were continuously purchased from adventurers and accumulated for a year.Now the Lord Baron actually wants to buy them all at once!

"Any questions?"

"No, not at all." Dalina shook his head violently, "I'll help you install it immediately. The total is 27 gold coins. As usual, you only need to pay [-] gold coins."

Gordon made a little calculation and found that the price was reasonable, so he took out ten platinum coins from the dimension bag and handed them to Dalinar.

Chuck, who was watching, couldn't help being a little excited when he saw the metal gizmos in Gordon's hands that were piled thickly and exuding a platinum-gold glow.

One thousand gold coins!This is a huge sum of money that he has never seen in his life.

The money was enough for his family to move to the south and buy a two-story building with a garden in the city to live comfortably.This amount of money is enough for him to hire the kind of senior tutor who specializes in training noble daughters, and pay for ten years of tuition until he trains his three daughters into the most outstanding ladies.This money……

In an instant, Chuck thought of six or seven ways to use the gold coins, and then he came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "It's someone else's property, I'm just thinking about it."

Gordon didn't know that he had inadvertently recharged the money master.After defeating Earl Thompson, he got a lot of wealth from the opponent's house, just a thousand gold coins, which is really not a big deal.

He was no longer the Gordon Freeman who was willing to work as a gravekeeper in the cemetery for a mere dozen of gold coins.

Dalinar put ten platinum coins into his pocket almost tremblingly.He felt that the big customer brought by Chuck must be a gift from the Dragon God's Blessing Day that came late this year.

Although the young shopkeeper looks very wretched, he has a quick mind and a good business acumen.Now that he has finally met a big customer, he naturally hopes to sell more of his products.Thinking of this, Dalinar smiled courteously at Gordon: "Lord Baron Freeman, I have a gadget I made myself, maybe you will like it."

After saying this, he looked at Gordon with some trepidation.Because Dalinar didn't know if a five-ring mage would be really interested in the things made by his apprentice mage.

"Then show it to me, anyway, it won't waste a lot of time."

Dalina nodded sharply, and then dug out two items from the corner of the top shelf.

The first item was an obsidian slab, about the size of an adult's palm, with a few simple inscriptions and a magic circle on it.Gordon could sense that the magical aura emanating from this item was extremely weak, and it was estimated that it was only enchanted with a zero-ring spell.

And another item matching this obsidian slab is a semi-circular piece of metal. Judging from the material, it should be brass.The inscription on this metal disc is similar to that on the obsidian plate.

"What's the use of this thing?" Gordon asked.

"Hey, Lord Baron, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Although I'm just an apprentice mage, I'm very interested in golems. I dream that one day I can have a golem of my own, so I often study this aspect. It has been three years since I became a sorcerer apprentice, but I can't become a full-fledged sorcerer." Dalinar laughed awkwardly.

Then, he said: "However, although the day when I can make my own golem is still far away, I still researched some things related to golems."

Dalinar fiddled with the obsidian board, and explained to Gordon: "My lord, as we all know, the golem accepts the master's command through telepathy and takes action. Although this method is very convenient, it has a fatal flaw, that is, control The distance is very short. And this obsidian plate can convert the command that the mage thinks into language, and then transmit it to this brass disc. Then, the brass disc converts the language into something that the golem can understand command, greatly providing golem control distance."

The more high-end information transmission method, the higher the conditions required.Teleportation is far more advanced than simple language, so the distance is often relatively close.The difficulty of sending a sentence to a hundred kilometers away by using the communication technique is completely different from sending a message to someone one hundred kilometers away by teleportation.

It would be very interesting if this obsidian plate and brass disc really had the effect of increasing the control distance of golems that Dalinar said.

Well, it's just fun.

After Dalinar saw Gordon listened to his explanation, he just smiled slightly, but he didn't show much interest.He was a little apprehensive and asked, "Master Baron, what do you think of my invention?"

Gordon sighed: "To be honest, Dalinar, your invention is absolutely revolutionary and breakthrough, and it is something that many great masters have never thought of. But unfortunately, this invention of yours has no What's the use."

"Why?" Dalinar was a little unwilling.

"Think about it carefully, the mage manipulates the golem to fight, usually in that situation?"

Dalinar thought about it carefully, and his expression became depressed.

The combat distance of a mage is usually within 150 meters - this is also the limit distance of most spells.Golems, on the other hand, are often accompanied by mages to protect their masters from nearby enemies, and they do not often attack distant enemies.In other words, using telepathy to manipulate the golem, the distance is completely sufficient.Dalinar's invention of increasing the control distance of golems has almost no practical value.

Moreover, telepathy is transformed into language, and then transformed into telepathy. This constant switching will greatly delay the speed of information transmission, which will cause delays when the golem receives commands.

Dalinar's invention, like the invention of dragon slaying in the modern world of technology, sounds great, but it's useless. (To be continued..)
