Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1775 The Sigh of Truth: The Wizarding Artifact Shop (Supplement)

This little girl with wide, staring eyes is the beloved daughter of the shop owner who bought substandard materials from Green.

The two shops were not far apart. The six-year-old girl seemed to be attracted by the ancient runes on the surface of the Green Ring. Before learning to use electronic devices, the natural power in the little girl's wizard bloodline and the runes on the ring had a strange attraction. She felt that these magical rings were like flesh and blood extending from the wizard's body, which was much more intimate than those cold electronic devices.

The little girl watched silently, and Green was happy to have a companion. It was as if he had returned to the fulfilling life of his wizard apprenticeship, where he pursued progress in the most minute details every day and explored the truths and mysteries that only he could understand.

"Hey, the owner of that glacial plant specimen shop is pretty nice, hehehehe. Tell me honestly, is there some other reason why you always buy medicinal specimens from her? Hmm hmm!"

With a provocative glare, the tricolor curly-haired young wizard and a chocolate-dark-skinned young wizard walked arm in arm, leaving the Glacier Botanical Specimen Shop. Afterward, the tricolor curly-haired wizard asked with a wicked grin.

"An angelic face, a devilish figure, a mature personality, outstanding intelligence, and that elusive, aloof, and mysterious aura—hehe, she's recently become a famous beauty in Billyburg. Who wouldn't have a crush on her?"

The chocolate-skinned little wizard readily admitted it, then sighed, "But I heard she already has a partner, the owner of that wizarding artifact shop next door. That shop seems to only sell magic rings. I looked at them too; the attributes are better, but the prices are outrageously expensive. I don't know if he's just greedy. I really don't know what this perfect witch saw in him."

Upon hearing his friend's words, the young wizard with tricolor curly hair turned around in surprise and glanced at Green's shop. Although he saw Green behind the glass counter, engrossed in studying the craft of making magic rings, he did not stop and gradually disappeared into the crowd.

A few days later, Grimm's fifth magic ring was born.

Mana Reserves +56, Elemental Attack +60, Price: 15000 Wizard Coins!

This time, Grimm's magic ring has seen a huge leap in attributes compared to the fourth one. Of course, the price has also increased along with it, rising by a full 5000 wizard coins compared to the fourth ring!

After admiring and playing with the magic ring for a few moments, Grimm noticed the little girl's eyes were wide open. Without saying anything, he simply placed the magic ring casually on the counter, adding another item to his inventory.

"Uncle, I don't have that many wizard coins, but I really like this ring. Can I owe you 14,677 wizard coins?"

The little girl's desire for the ring seemed to overcome her timidity. She mustered her courage and asked, her big, watery eyes almost brimming with tears as she looked at Green with longing.

"If you really like it, then come here and learn how to make rings from your uncle. Knowledge is not negotiable, nor can it be bought on credit. If you're unwilling to buy it, it just means that your uncle's knowledge isn't worth that price, understand?"

The little girl's tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Grimm remained unmoved and continued his research into the craftsmanship of the magic ring. The little girl was heartbroken and left Grimm's shop in a huff.

The next day, however, the little girl sat down next to Green again, staring at him with her big eyes as he made the magic ring.

"kindness?"

A gasp of surprise rang out. Grimm looked up to see a Level 3 Archmage standing in front of his shop, admiring the fifth magical ring Grimm had crafted. The Archmage smiled at Grimm with obvious concern, saying, "Ancient craftsmanship, focusing on enhancing the runes' affinity with the forces of nature, maximizing the wizard's magical attributes to leverage the rules of the universe. Even more unbelievable is that the ring is made of only cheap refined jade. Interesting, very interesting!"

This is the first time a level three archmage has ever visited a shop.

Green nodded politely, completely assuming the role of an ordinary little wizard, appearing as an honest person who was startled by the sudden movement of his hand.

However, this level three archmage had some insight and immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the Grimm Magic Ring.

"Hahaha, I am an instructor at the Ailanpulis Garden Wizarding Academy in District 79 of the Third Ring Santa. If you wish to pursue higher studies at a proper wizarding academy, you are welcome to come anytime. I will make a special recommendation to the Dean for you. Perhaps in the future you will have the opportunity to acquire the Dawn Wisdom Qualification, hahahaha, a highly refined application of the Hundred Refinements?"

After saying this, the level three archmage put the magic ring back on the counter and gradually disappeared into the crowd. To him, it seemed to be just a minor episode during his travels.

After the third-level archmage left, Green continued to work silently on his sixth magic ring.

The little girl watched Green's ring-making process with great interest. Although she didn't understand the profound truths behind it, her behavior suggested that she had gradually shifted her focus from pursuing the ring to the process itself. Watching Green make the ring was a real treat for her.

It's just unknown how long it will take for this little girl to understand the joy of pursuing truth and profound knowledge, rather than the craftsmanship of creating a medium.

"Hey... Boss, can you give me a discount on this ring?"

A witch, holding the fifth ring made by Grimm, asked in surprise, clearly attracted by the outstanding properties of this magical ring, which was only a first-class magical artifact.

"Prices are non-negotiable for items in this store."

After giving a concise and firm reply, Green once again lowered his head and immersed himself in the process of creating the sixth magic ring.

Biting her red lips, the witch picked up the ring and put it down again, then picked it up again and put it down again. The struggle and hesitation in her heart can be imagined. However, in the end, the expensive price of the magic ring overcame her desire for its properties. The witch sighed for a long time and left in disappointment.

A short time later, another wizard, attracted by the ring's powerful properties, inquired about the price, hesitated for a long time, and then also chose to leave.

As a result, there were noticeably more visitors lingering in front of Green's goal.

More than ten days later, the fifth magic ring still hadn't been sold. Even when some customers asked about it several times, Green firmly refused any requests for a price reduction.

That day, the witch, who had visited Green's shop several times before, came again. She picked up the magic ring that cost 15,000 wizard coins, admiring it with reluctance and sighing. It seemed to have become a daily habit. Green did not stop her. He sighed and admired the sixth magic ring that he had just finished making. After marking the price, he put it on the counter.

Magic reserves +55, elemental attack power +60, price 18000 Wizard Coins.

The witch, her face filled with astonishment, put down the magic ring in her hand and picked up the sixth ring made by Grimm. Her red lips parted slightly, and her eyes could no longer look at anything else; her excitement was indescribable.

"Huh? Another new ring?"

Since Grimm's fifth magic ring, it wasn't just this witch who started paying attention to Grimm's shop; there were several others as well.

The tricolor curly-haired little wizard standing behind the witch was one of them. He seemed to be the child of a wealthy family in Biliburg City. Although he seemed a bit unreliable on the surface, after getting to know him, it was found that he also had his own taste and style. After Green seriously learned about the new era wizarding culture, he gradually came to appreciate the characteristics and some advanced and inclusive advantages of the new generation of wizards. He was by no means the pessimistic view of the ancient wizards that the lineage would be cut off.

From a historical perspective, Green objectively assesses that these new-era wizards are more accepting of the new concept of integrating foreign cultures into the Wizarding Alliance than the ancient wizards, are more likely to seize opportunities for evolution, and are more adaptable!

"Alright! Eighteen thousand wizard coins. This is a deposit of ten thousand wizard coins. I'll give you the remaining eight thousand wizard coins this afternoon. I'll take this magic ring!"

As the witch spoke, she actually put down a piece of witch crystal and looked at Green with expectation.

After glancing at the witch, Green said calmly, "Okay."

The witch, her face beaming with excitement, put down the magic ring and was about to think of a way to raise wizard coins when she saw the tricolor curly-haired little wizard behind her pick up the ring and suddenly say, "I'll offer 18,500 wizard coins, cash only!"

The witch stopped and glared angrily at the young wizard with tricolor curly hair.

Green smiled and shook his head, saying, "Although it was only a verbal agreement, this magic ring has already been sold. Sorry."

Then Green said to the witch, "Go and get the wizard coins. If it's past the agreed time in the afternoon, the deposit of ten thousand is mine, hehe."

The witch smiled gratefully and quickly left, leaving the frustrated young wizard with tricolor curly hair standing there. Clearly, in the eyes of these two wizards, the attributes of this first-level magical artifact had completely outweighed its high price.
