Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 25: Small Groups and Online Shopping

Although the progress of rescuing Asdalen was worrying.

Harvey still took time out of his busy schedule to log into the spellcaster forum.

He had to find a way to persuade this ancient vampire not to give up his life easily, and at the same time prepare a suitable alchemical prosthetic body for him in advance.

Temporary purchases are definitely unrealistic, as the number of substandard products released into the market by Alchemy Exploration every year is very small.

In addition, due to the tense war situation, it would be difficult to obtain a complete alchemical prosthesis even through Ash's network of connections.

The only way is to have a comfortable online shopping through this online platform founded by myself.

However, all forum members communicated using anonymous codes, although Harvey clearly knew that he had indeed invited members of the Alchemy Exploration Society to join.

But he had no idea who it was.

The only way is to wait until the online exchange meeting, use your own small account to post purchase tasks, and pay high points to lure the other party to take the initiative to complete the transaction.

Some time ago, I also posted in the "Information Exchange" section that I was looking to purchase spiritual power-assisting tools.

Many forum members also responded with friendly messages.

However, Harvey's needs were too vague, and the research direction involving the magic network plane was too profound and unpopular.

As a result, there was not a single answer that could truly satisfy him.

"Although I'm just a beginner spellcaster in real life, on the forums I'm a powerful spellcaster engaged in magic network research!"

Looking at the comments from members who, although unable to provide answers, were secretly praising him.

Harvey felt a little swelled for a moment.

……

The clock's hands turned to nine o'clock, and the "code names" of several members on the Magic Network Forum began to flash with faint light.

[Hand of Elements: Good evening, everyone!]

It was Mr. Sheniu Elemental Mage again who started the greetings, and the other members followed suit.

Harvey was not in a hurry to speak in a trumpet. According to convention, the first half hour of the exchange meeting belonged to those members who liked to engage in academic exchanges with heated words.

In short, let the "argumentative" people speak first.

[Man in the Mirror: I would like to thank Mr. Son of Flame for providing the auxiliary instruments. They have been of great help to the progress of my experiment.]

[Frost Giant: What type of magic weapon? How many points does he sell it to you for?]

[Man in the Mirror: This undead artifact is rich in death energy. I believe it is at least at the level of an intermediate artifact, so we negotiated a deal of 50 points.]

[Frost Giant: Intermediate magical weapon? Did your points just fall from the sky? I feel like you've been ripped off.]

[Son of Flame: Shit Giant! If you have it, why don't you sell it?]

[Earth-loving One: Points are indeed extremely valuable to us right now. I spent all the points I've accumulated over this period of time in exchange for a highly valuable Spell Matrix from the Scorching Lord.]

[Earth-loving One: Here, I would like to thank Mr. Burning Lord again for his selfless sharing.]

[Scorching Lord: Haha, I'm just following the principle of equal exchange.]

[Heart of the Forest: Everyone, have you tried the online... real-time trading offered by the Administrator?]

[Man in the Mirror: Genius ideas and inventions! Salute to Mr. Administrator!]

[Heart of the Forest: I'd like to ask Mr. Administrator if the principles of this magic matrix can be shared publicly. I know this might be a bit excessive, but I wonder what the price would be for obtaining it?]

【Earth-loving One: Agreed!】

【Ghost Captain: I strongly agree! 】

[Frost Giant: Humph! Everyone, please curb your greed. How can you share this level of magical network teleportation technology so easily? Can anyone among you truly afford the price of obtaining it?] Harvey watched the message flashing on the screen, feeling secretly pleased.

This Mr. Frost Giant seems to be mocking other members, but he is actually secretly provoking me.

[Scorching Lord: I can offer a seven-ring elemental magic matrix for exchange. This is an improved version of my own creation. I wonder if Mr. Turing is interested?]

Wow! The Scorching Lord is a legendary spellcaster!
In other words, at least there is a legendary spellcaster behind him who can create or improve high-level spells!
Could he be a high-ranking member of the Federation?

All the members of the forum were secretly shocked. The Seven-Ring Improved Spell was indeed a trading chip with extremely high value.

If the spell is of combat type, its value may surpass the general spell of the eighth ring.

This is a bargaining chip that any spellcaster would be tempted by.

Harvey was of course very moved when he saw the message from the member.

Most of the common spells available for public learning in spellcasting academies or wizard organizations have limited functions and mediocre power.

Newly created or improved spells often have extremely high research value and magical power, which also indirectly proves the powerful value of legendary spellcasters.

But the problem is, even if Harvey is given all this wealth for free, he still can't learn it!

He is just an ordinary junior necromancer with ordinary qualifications.

In his magic pattern, not even a matrix engraving of a three-ring instant spell was completed!

[Administrator Turing: Haha, it's not that I'm unwilling to share my knowledge with you, but this magic matrix originates from my unique perception of the magic network. It is deeply bound to the forum's projection on the magic network and cannot be replicated by others.]

As expected! Mr. Administrator is also a legendary spellcaster!
Everyone was not surprised to see the manager politely refuse, but they also felt it was reasonable.

What they mean is very clear. Even if this technology is given to you for free, you don't have the ability to use it, so don't even think about it.

Phil Holden, codenamed "Son of Flame", looked at the message and keenly caught a hint hidden behind the words.

"He must have used his own powerful mental power to create a magic network projection within the positioning magic pattern, thereby establishing this forum and using it as a basis to develop instantaneous teleportation technology that is ahead of its time!"

"But why would such a mysterious and powerful being establish this anonymous forum?"

"He even encourages members to communicate freely and actively share magical knowledge..."

While he was thinking hard, an unfamiliar member "Code Name" jumped out and interrupted Fair's thoughts.

Kel'Thuzad: Everyone, I'm looking to purchase a brand new alchemical prosthetic, either support or combat-capable, preferably one customized for the Federation by the Alchemical Quest Society.

The Quinn brothers, who were staring at the forum message head to head, were stunned for a moment and looked at each other subconsciously.

"Is this a colleague from our Exploration Society?"

"Unlikely, otherwise why couldn't he get an alchemical prosthesis? He must be a wild alchemist."

"Is he also planning to study the direction of life transformation?"

The two nodded at the same time, then looked at the code name "Kel'Thuzad" with infinite sympathy in their eyes.

Compared with magicians, alchemists do not have too many stereotypes about magic factions and knowledge blockades. They prefer to form various research groups and organizations, large and small, freely share alchemical results and formulas, and have more goodwill towards their peers.

Every year, the Alchemy Exploration Society selects some talented alchemists and provides a certain degree of financial and material support for their experimental research projects.

In the Alchemy Academy, Offrey himself also provided free financial support to many alchemy apprentices who were not under his tutelage, helping them complete their own alchemy formula research and development and experimental inventions.

"This poor wild colleague is working in the same field as us," O'Frey lamented. "But he doesn't have an organization or a research team. I'm afraid his experiment is progressing much worse than ours..."

Ed nodded in agreement. "Yes, what an unfortunate alchemist..."

The two were silent for a moment and made the decision almost in unison.

"Send him a brand new alchemical prosthetic body!"
