Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 467 Celestial Magic (First Update)

Faced with the blatant lure of money, the owner of the magic shop immediately became extremely enthusiastic and began to promote all the magical items he could display in his shop to Jerry.

Opening a magic shop in a city like Harugeon would be a disaster.

Because unless you encounter a traveling mage, very few people will come here to buy magical items.

Traveling mages, or those who need to buy magical items, are usually one they might not encounter for ten days to half a month.

It's easy to imagine how bad the boss's business was.

This explains why a supposedly magical shop is located in such a remote part of the city, and why the shop is so small with so few products.

If it weren't for the requirements of the Magic Council and the high profits from magical items, and because he was getting old, he would have quit long ago.

From magic boxes that could change the color of clothes to magic lamps that could provide warmth and light, Jerry would buy almost every magical item the shopkeeper introduced without hesitation or haggling.

The more the boss introduced himself, the more excited he became. Jerry was worried that he might faint from excitement, given his age.

In reality, these things are of little practical use to Jerry, or rather, it's unrealistic to expect to buy any powerful magical items in such a small and remote magic shop.

He only intended to buy it for research purposes, dismantle it completely, and study the magic circles inside.

As for haggling, there's no need to waste time on it. He's not short of money, and he doesn't have any particular interest in that area.

After buying more than a dozen magical items, the thick stack of banknotes on the table was finally empty.

However, Jerry didn't hesitate to take out the same wad of money and place it on the table again:

"Is there anything else?"

Seeing this, the boss couldn't help but swallow again, secretly regretting his actions.

It turns out that his shop business had never been very good, and he didn't have much capital, so he always bought the cheapest items and in small quantities.

These dozen or so magical items are basically all the magical items in his shop.

The main point is that the other party doesn't want duplicate items, so each type can only be sold once.

If he had known he would meet such a wealthy customer today, he would have spent all his savings to buy more.

"These are all the magical items we have. There's one more, but I don't know if you'll need it!"

As if suddenly remembering something, the boss rummaged through the drawers and cabinets and took a dusty box to the counter.

"This is the Celestial Spirit Key of Canis Minor. If you are a Holder-type Celestial Spirit Mage, then it's perfect for you. Although its power isn't great, it's very cute, and summoning it will definitely attract girls!"

Fearing that Jerry would think Canis Minor was too weak, the boss immediately began to lewdly list out the advantages of Canis Minor.

"Celestial Spirit Key, Celestial Spirit Mage, Holder-type?"

He had no interest in attracting girls; what interested him were the few words the boss mentioned that were clearly related to magic in this world.

Hearing the doubt in Jerry's tone, the boss paused for a moment, then quickly explained:

"It seems the guest is not very familiar with Celestial Spirit Magic. This is a special type of magic that allows you to use a Celestial Spirit Key to enter into a magical pact with the corresponding Celestial Spirit in the Celestial Spirit Realm. Then, by consuming your own magic power, you can summon them from the Celestial Spirit Realm to aid you in battle!"

For the boss now, it doesn't matter whether the customer in front of him is a mage or knows magic; the most important thing is that he has money.

"Making a magical pact with the Protoss in the Protoss realm and summoning them to fight through a medium—an interesting kind of magic."

Jerry picked up the silver key, looked at it, and bought it without hesitation.

He himself also possesses contract magic and has many contract creatures, but his contract magic cannot be summoned to his presence through any medium; it is all stored in his own ring world.

"By the way, do you sell any spellbooks here?"

After putting away the Celestial Key of Canis Minor, Jerry asked the question about the main purpose of his visit to the Magic Shop.

Studying magical items is secondary; to gain a detailed understanding of the world's magical system and how to learn and use magic, one must consult spellbooks.

This is also his experience after going through several small worlds.

"Well... yes, there are all of them, but..."

Upon hearing the word "magic book," the boss's tone immediately became awkward.

Jerry raised an eyebrow:

"What's wrong? Don't you have enough money?"

"Of course not. It's just that the magic books I have here are mostly books that explain the basics of magic, and they don't go into specific details about learning different types of magic."

If you want to learn magic, it's best to go to a larger city and apprentice under a mage, or pay a mage to teach you.

The boss quickly waved his hand and explained.

Real magic books are extremely expensive; how could his tiny magic shop afford them?

Moreover, unless one is truly gifted, it is unlikely that one will achieve much by learning magic through spellbooks, and it is even more difficult to reach the level of an ordinary mage.

If you plan to pursue the path of a mage, you either need to be exceptionally talented and be accepted as an apprentice by a mage, or you need to spend a lot of money to post a quest at a guild and hire a mage to teach you.

Mages can earn a lot of money through guild missions, making it a profession that many ordinary people aspire to. However, becoming a mage is not an easy thing for ordinary people.

"Then bring out all the magic books you have in your shop, I'll buy them all."

Although I was somewhat disappointed with the boss's answer, getting some books that introduced basic magic knowledge was still a small gain.

At least through these books, he can learn what types of magic exist in this world, what effects they have, or how powerful they are.

You can also learn about the history of magic in this world.

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

Upon hearing this, the boss immediately turned around and started rummaging through the cabinet.

It seems that not many people are willing to buy his books explaining basic magical knowledge.

Just as the shopkeeper was rummaging through drawers looking for magic books, the small wooden door of the magic shop creaked open.

Jerry turned his head and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with full blonde hair, a huge figure, and dressed in a sailor-like uniform standing in front of him.

"what?"

Jerry's eyes narrowed the moment he saw the girl.

It wasn't because of the girl's appearance or figure, but because he could clearly sense that the magical power contained within her far exceeded that of any ordinary person with magical power he had encountered while wandering around the area in the past two days.

Therefore, he felt that perhaps this girl was what the world called a mage.
