Li Nuo knew in his heart that the expenses in the next few days might be relatively large, which would easily drain his wallet. He had to think of ways to get the money in advance.
He walked around Hideaway's shop while thinking about the best way to make money in the Suman Islands.
After about half an hour, Li Nuo looked at all the products in detail, and Hedwig also sorted out the proceeds from the voyage.
Seeing that Li Nuo was very interested in the things in his store, Hedwig had more expectations. After he finished handling the things at hand, he stood next to Li Nuo with his arms crossed, and followed his gaze to introduce the things in the store.
"There used to be mysterious energy fluctuations on this dragon scale. Later, because it was left on for a long time, the energy completely dissipated..."
"This stone ball, which is as big as my head, should be the 'hair ball' in the eyes of young dragons. It has many paw prints and bite marks on it. When I first got it, the marks on the ball were quite clear. From a distance It’s much more beautiful than it is now. But I don’t have the money to buy a sealed display case to preserve it, so... hey, it’s what it looks like now..."
Hedwig picked up a stained antique silver candlestick from the shelf and said proudly:
"This is one of the few things in my store that is relatively well preserved. It is a collection of the dragon clan. It may be a product of the last era. I guess..."
Before Hedwig could finish his words, the tridental silver candlestick changed.
Due to Hedwig's excessive force, the candle base on the far left side of the candlestick was pushed by his thick fingers, cracked with a click, fell down old and weak, and hit the floor with a clang.
The atmosphere at the scene froze in embarrassment for a second.
Hedwig put the antique silver candlestick back on the shelf, struggled to bend down like a bucket, picked up the candle base from the ground, and gave Li Nuo a stiff smile:
"Okay. If you buy this antique, I can give you a discount..."
Li Nuo's expression remained normal, and Quan pretended not to see the other party's embarrassment:
"Hedwig, I have a question. Since your stuff is real, why don't you take it to the Magic Item Exchange and sell it?"
Hedwig took out the glue and carefully glued the broken candle base to the candle holder:
"You must have just been to the Suman Islands not long ago, right? Have you heard that the handling fees for magic items exchange here are extremely low? Huh, don't think it's that simple. This is a bait deliberately put out by the Mantas family."
"Mantas family?" Li Nuo asked.
"You haven't heard of it? Okay. I actually don't know much about it. I only know that the Mantas family is famous for being shrewd. The owner behind the magic items exchange is the Mantas family."
Hedwig successfully glued the candlestick in place.
He blew on the glue and continued:
"You need to pay a deposit to sell something at the Magic Item Exchange. The appraiser at the exchange will give you an estimate of the price of the thing you want to sell. The amount of the deposit you pay is almost one-third of the estimate. The deposit will be paid when the item is sold. Return it within one month after leaving. This is a small business. I don’t have so much money to spend on it. I’d rather sell it in my own store..."
"If the Mantas family does this, won't they put a lot of cash on their own accounts?" Li Nuo said thoughtfully:
"I heard that there are many magic banks in the Unas Ring that can provide deposit services. Just the interest from the exchange's margin balance can make the Mantas family a lot of money."
"You seem to have some research on magical currency?" Hedwig looked at Li Nuo up and down, confusion appearing on his face:
"This is the first time I know that the Death Wizard is also interested in magical currency..."
Li Nuo waved his hand and dismissed the topic:
"Let's get down to business, Hedwig. I'm interested in a few things in your store. Please give me a price."
Hedwig's breathing became a little heavier, and he was obviously shocked that he was about to open his business. He stuttered a little when he spoke:
"What do you want?! The price is good!"
Li Nuo raised his hand and pointed out the things he liked on the surrounding shelves one by one.
Headway gives the prices in turn:
"Young dragon's tooth, 330 gold coins, I'll give you a discount, 300 gold coins. A small piece of dragon scale that was soaked in the deep sea water, uh, this is not very valuable, there are so many dragon scales in the seabed, I will count you 100 gold coins. The half-stone slab engraved with dragon language... What you are interested in is really weird. There is nothing special about this half-stone slab except for the unexplained dragon language on it. Well, since you want it, I will press 700 I sold the gold coins to you..."
Hedwig quoted the prices of several items in succession. When Li Nuo pointed to the last item, his tone changed:
"Guest, that book is not for sale. Although it is an antique, I used it to write my diary of going to sea."
The thing Li Nuo was referring to was a book that was 30 centimeters thick. The book has a thick brown leather cover that looks damp, as if it had just been fished out of the water.
Li Nuo fell in love with it. On the one hand, he was attracted by its simple and textured ancient appearance. On the other hand, it was because the book and the magic lock on the book required a total of 303,000 energy points to deconstruct.
Cracking the magic lock consumes the vast majority of energy, reaching as much as 300,000.
"How could you use an ancient object to write a diary?" Li Nuo asked in confusion.
"I'll show you how to do it, and you'll understand."
Hedwig waved towards the diary and took it with "Wizard's Hand".
Under Li Nuo's gaze, Hedwig unlocked the magic lock on the diary, summoned a ball of water, stuffed the diary into the water balloon, took an ink pen, and wrote on the water-soaked diary.
As soon as Hedwig lifted the magic lock, Li Nuo activated the deconstruction technique and completely deconstructed the contents of the diary.
The news sent by the system made Li Nuo excited, but he covered it up well and did not reveal it to the outside at all.
"Did you see it? This book is very strange. It can record my writing underwater. When I go to sea, I often have to soak in the sea water. A diary like this that can be written underwater is very important to me. It’s essential.”
After Hedwig showed Li Nuo what he wrote in the water balloon, he put the diary and pen back on the table and spread the water balloons in front of him.
"Guest, do you need anything else?"
"No, Hedwig. Help me wrap everything up. How much is the total?" Li Nuo reached into his magic pocket.
Hedwig trembled with excitement, picked up the things on the shelf, and muttered:
"The six items total 3,020 gold coins. I'll give you another zero, so you only get 3,000 gold coins."
Li Nuo dug into his magic pocket and placed three 1,000 gold coins on the table.
Hedwig packed the things Li Nuo purchased and put them into silver-white metal with magic locks and mechanical locks.
Li Nuo checked it over and confirmed that the goods were correct, then put the items into his magic pocket.
Before leaving, Li Nuo asked:
"Hedwig, if I want to know more about the dragon clan, what should I do? What I want is historical documents and the like."
The Hideaway is open for a rare occasion, and the mood is refreshing.
He leaned against the cashier counter, pressing the table to creak, and gave an answer while thinking:
"Well... the things you mentioned are basically covered by the major forces and are difficult to see on the market. Even in the magic items exchange next door, there are very few historical documents for sale."
"It's rounded? What do you mean?" Li Nuo walked around and didn't even see a decent Dragon Age book. He thought it was because such classics were very rare, but now it seemed that there was another reason.
"That's what it means literally." Hedwig scratched his beard and asked:
"You know that Feixuan Continent will throw away dragon treasures, right?"
"I know." Li Nuo nodded.
Hedwig gestured with his hands and said:
"The treasures that fly out from the Whirling Continent will have tail flames of different colors. Any treasures that record a large number of words and patterns will have earthy brown tails. Such things are collectively called "Dragon Language Documents." Those powerful wizard forces will drive magic airships to hover over the sea, and seize all the dragon language documents before they fall to the sea.
"Things like the things I salvaged from the surface of the water and from under the sea are all things that the wizarding forces look down on. Only when I am very lucky will I see the dragon language documents that the wizarding forces have missed under the sea."
Hedwig pointed to the book he used as a diary:
"You see, this book is the Dragon Language Document that I picked up by chance. It is my real treasure. I carry it with me wherever I go. The historical documents and other things you mentioned are from Dragon Language Documents. One. Those wizards who are obsessed with studying dragon magic and dragon craftsmanship will hide them in their own treasury regardless of whether the dragon language documents they get are spell drawings and process drawings. The historical documents you mentioned are no exception. .”
"So that's it... No wonder I haven't seen anyone selling historical materials from the previous era..." Li Nuo asked again:
"So are there any dragon history books written by modern people on the market?"
Hedwig recalled:
"You are referring to the history book of Dragon Age, right? This thing is the teaching content of various deep sea wizard forces, and only members of the forces can learn it. You can either join these forces, or you can only buy it from illegal knowledge vendors. "
Hedwig paused and looked at Li Nuo, who was staring at him:
"Don't look at me. Although I live a sloppy life, I will never sell knowledge privately. I have a soul contract with the Deep Sea Branch. I will be punished for leaking knowledge."
Li Nuo shook his head slightly:
"It's such a shame, I have to find another way."
Headway thought Li Nuo was going to deal with illegal knowledge vendors, so he reminded him:
"Then you have to be more careful. Don't let the other party take advantage of you. Behind those illegal knowledge vendors, there are basically the Dreadsail Pirate Nation. If not, you will be kidnapped by them along with your money."
"Thanks for the reminder." Li Nuo patted the magic pocket on his waist, "Goodbye."
"Welcome, guest. You are very discerning. I like people who know the goods. My next trip to sea will be in seven or eight days. I will stay at sea for more than ten days before coming back. Then you can come and take a look, Let’s see if there’s anything you like.” Hedwig happily walked Li Nuo to the door.
Li Nuo went out and met Dinasi who had just finished shopping.
The two found the "Messenger's Home" opened by the Ministry of Magical Communications in the market and entered it.
Encouraged by Li Nuo, Dinas spent 3,000 gold coins and purchased 30 opportunities to contract the magic messenger.
The process of trying to contract a magic messenger is similar to "drawing cards".
In a large room, there is a magic circle in the center of the floor.
After Dinas stands in the center of the magic circle, the store clerk will activate the magic circle.
As the magic power within the magic circle surged rapidly, a slight white light emerged on the magic circle.
At the same time, a ball of light flying around Dinas appeared next to her.
The number of light balls is no more or less, just 30.
Each ball of light corresponds to a magical messenger observing her from the "Messenger Plane".
If a messenger falls in love with Dinath, the messenger will enter nature from the "messenger plane" and land next to her.
Unfortunately, Dinah's beauty and figure may only work on humans.
After observing her for a moment, the 30 magic messengers chose to stop observing her. In response to this, the light balls flying around Dinas quickly decreased until they all disappeared.
When Dinas walked out of the magic circle, she felt aggrieved and still had a trace of sadness:
"Ugh...I knew I couldn't contract the messenger...another 3,000 gold coins wasted..."
Li Nuo patted her on the back, comforted her a few words, and then handed over 1,000 gold coins to the clerk.
He will try to make a contract with 10 magic messengers, among which there must be a parrot-like magic messenger.
Li Nuo described the appearance of Professor Erica's parrot messenger.
The clerk brought the messenger illustrated book and found the information card of this parrot messenger.
The scientific name of this kind of magic messenger is the five-color budgie.
It is lively and active by nature, has a high IQ, and likes to learn to talk to others.
It can not only deliver letters, but also chat with people and relieve boredom. It is quite popular in the wizarding circle.
After reading the pictures and introduction in the illustrated book, Li Nuo determined that Professor Erica's magic messenger was this kind of parrot.
Li Nuo stood on the magic circle, and the clerk activated the magic circle.
Ten light balls representing magic messengers appeared around Li Nuo.
Li Nuo took advantage of the ten light balls flying around him and threw the deconstruction technique at them.
【system information:】
[You are about to activate the deconstruction technique on the "Five Colored Budgie Messenger". 】
[You are about to activate deconstruction on "some kind of crow-like magical messenger". 】
[You are about to activate deconstruction on "some kind of owl magic messenger". 】
【…】
Before Li Nuo could finish reading the system messages, nine of the ten light balls around him suddenly disappeared, leaving only one!
Li Nuo thought that the one who stayed behind was the five-color budgie messenger, but after the light ball transformed into a magic messenger, he was surprised to find that the situation was completely different from what he thought.
The magic messenger left behind turned out to be a small four-legged animal with two wings. It looked like a white cat with wings.
Dinas covered her mouth and exclaimed quietly, feeling happy that Li Nuo was about to have a magic messenger.
The clerk also applauded Li Nuo for his good luck.
Only Li Nuo himself was curious about the origin of this magical messenger and asked the clerk.
"Excuse me, what is the origin of this magic messenger?" Li Nuo scratched his head:
"I thought I would contract a five-color budgie."
"Wait a moment, sir, let me look through the illustrated book."
The clerk flipped through the messenger's illustrated book, flipping through it from front to back, but found no corresponding data card.
She put down the illustrated book in her hand, took out another one from the drawer, and continued to browse, but still couldn't find the data card, so she had to take out the third illustrated book and start reading.
It seems that the origin of the magic messenger in front of him may be a bit unusual... Li Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the magic messenger who was looking at him. Unexpectedly, he saw a look of scrutiny and observation on the other's furry white face. .
It was as if although it appeared in front of Li Nuo, it had not completely decided whether to sign a messenger contract with the wizard in front of it.
Look at its body and hair. There is no fat or bulging muscles. It has elegant curves and a well-proportioned body. Its fine white hair is smooth and smooth, just like a pet that has been carefully cared for.
A thought came to Li Nuo's mind:
Does this white cat messenger with wings have an owner?
Ah this...
Could it be that I was inexplicably attracted to a wizard? !
Li Nuo couldn't help but be stunned.
The clerk patted the writing and breathed a sigh of relief:
"Sir, after waiting for a long time, I finally found the information card of this magic messenger. It is a very rare and rare magic messenger. The Ministry of Magic News has temporarily named it the Snowwing Cat. So far, the Magic Messenger The newspaper found only one Snowwing cat in the "Messenger Plane", the one you see now. I have to say, your luck is amazing. You should be the first and only wizard to own a Snowwing. "
"Snowwing cat..." Li Nuo muttered, but saw that the magic messenger in front of him seemed to have made some kind of decision.
The Snowwing cat dismissed the scrutiny on his face and took the initiative to approach Li Nuo, rubbing his cheek against the back of his hand, showing a humane and friendly scene.
Li Nuo felt the touch of the other party's extremely smooth and delicate hair, and was extremely satisfied with this magical messenger.
The feedback from the deconstruction technique showed that the deconstruction consumption of this magic messenger was not large, only 170,000 energy points.
Li Nuo planned to wait until his energy level was high enough to see what was so special about this messenger.
The magic messenger's soul contract was successfully concluded with the help of the store clerk, and what happened after that was a programmed process.
The clerk trained Li Nuo on the common sense of taking care of magic messengers, listed a common food list and precautions for magic messengers, and repeatedly told Li Nuo to get along with his messengers with patience and love.
For example, what specific things Snowwing cats like to eat, what hobbies they have, what they hate, and their living habits are all things that Li Nuo needs to explore carefully in his future life.
The only help the clerk can provide is the "messenger whistle" that can send the messenger to the "messenger plane" or summon the messenger to come to you.
Li Nuo held the whistle and faced the Snowwing Cat. Regardless of whether the other party understood what he said, he asked:
"Do you like to stay in the "Messenger Plane"? Or stay with me and my companion witch? "
The soul contract with the messenger gave Li Nuo and the messenger a weak soul connection.
The Snowwing cat let out a "meow~", stood up from the table, and rubbed the whistle in Li Nuo's hand with its soft paws.
"Well, it seems you prefer to stay in the "Messenger Plane". "Li Nuo nodded.
"Meow~" the Snowwing cat meowed in a low voice, opened its arms, and made a gesture toward Li Nuo to hug him.
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, hugged the other person, and stroked the back of the other person's hand:
"I understand. Stay in the "Messenger Plane" or be by my side, whichever you like. "
"Meow~" The snow-winged cat kicked its legs, took off with the help of Li Nuo's arms, flapped its wings, and landed on Dinasi's shoulders in a light manner, causing the other party to laugh in admiration.
"Li, it seems to like me too." Dinas smiled and took the Snowwing cat into her arms, stroking his hair gently.
"Then you can hold it. When I'm not at home, let the Snowwing cat play with you." Li Nuo smiled.
Before leaving the shop, Li Nuo spent nearly ten thousand gold coins to buy a complete set of magical furniture needed to place the messenger at home, as well as a lot of food and toys that Snowwing cats might like.
At this point, Li Nuo has solved the messenger problem, no longer needing to rely on Professor Erica's messenger, and Dinas also has a companion at home.
