The store owner was a middle-aged man. When Noah and the others came in, this obviously incompetent store owner was listening to singing on the radio and didn't even react to the sound of the door being pushed open.
Noah: “…”
This is also the first time for Christina to come to this store. She has been to the drugstore next door several times, but she has never been to this store before.
She glanced at the shopkeeper who was sitting behind the counter with only half of his head exposed, and tentatively said hello: "Excuse me?"
However, Noah felt very confident and walked to the rows of cabinets containing materials and began to look for anything he needed.
When it comes to common materials that can be used to make equipment, the first reaction is probably some parts of magical creatures, or some special items with magical properties.
Not to mention the former, there are many commonly used ones by wizards, such as dragon skin and so on...
But in fact, most of the ones sold on the market are not real "dragon skins", but more of various hybrid dragon materials.
Real dragons are rare and dangerous magical creatures, otherwise dragons would have become extinct long ago based on the frequency of use by wizards.
And Noah didn't come here just to find a suitable dragon skin.
What he needs is a material that can store magic power. Dragon skin that can effectively isolate a certain amount of magic power obviously does not meet his requirements.
Maybe he can find a gem?
Yes, Noah's favorite material is still a gem that can store magic, but this is obviously unlikely, at least it is unlikely to be found in a magic material store. The materials commonly used by wizards generally do not include gems.
Wizards in this world have not explored much about minerals such as gemstones. They basically regard them as luxuries like Muggles and rarely use them as magic materials.
Noah hasn't figured out what kind of amplifier to make yet. He needs to find suitable materials before making it.
Common "equipment" is basically small and easy-to-carry jewelry, ranging from pendants to rings, or inlays on staffs, they are all very good choices. He plans to find it and decide what it will look like based on the material properties.
Suddenly, Noah stopped in front of a shelf.
On the first floor of the shelf are some moon-white gems. These stones are translucent in color and look quite beautiful.
Noah knew this material. This stone was a gemstone called moonstone, which had a special reaction to moonlight and was a magical material used to make soothing potions.
Noah had seen this material in the school's medicine cabinet before. This gem does have a certain amount of magical power, but it is not suitable for storing magic, because the magic stored in the moonstone will slowly fade away when exposed to moonlight. is released, which is why it reacts to moonlight at night.
Doesn't sound like the right material.
But there was a different stone in the pile of moonstones that caught Noah's attention. Different from the ordinary clear moonstone, this stone has some floc inside, which looks a bit turbid at first glance.
He had never seen this kind of moonstone before, so Noah subconsciously raised his hand to take it down.
He looked at the gem carefully. The floc inside should have formed naturally, but he was not sure what caused the stone to become like this.
but……
A glimmer appeared in Noah's eyes, and the world in his eyes immediately changed.
Normal moonstones should have various colored threads of light emerging from them. In the moonstones placed on the cabinet, threads are entangled and condensed in the gemstones, flowing thinly like running water, intertwined with each other. They change to the same color when they come together, and then change back to their original color when they separate. These are the magic.
Moonstones have a special composition, like a magic storage and circulation device. They absorb a large amount of surrounding dotted magic at dawn, until the magic in the gem is saturated and condenses into threads and begins to slowly escape. However, under normal circumstances, this This kind of escape is very slow, but once it encounters the moonlight, these magic powers will escape in large quantities.
To put it simply, it is good as a tool for gathering magic power, but its storage capacity is average.
But this is not the case with the moonstone in Noah's hand.
The magic power inside this moonstone has been approaching saturation, but the filamentary magic power has formed into a ball of wool and is tightly condensed inside the gemstone. It is almost impossible to escape and can be preserved more effectively than ordinary moonstones. magic.
It looks a bit magical.
Noah picked up the moonstone and walked to the counter: "Boss, do you still have this kind of moonstone?"
The boss heard this and looked up at the things on the counter: "Just this one."
This piece of moonstone hardly reacts with light under the moonlight, and because it is turbid inside, it cannot be used as a decoration. It will not be sold at first glance. Anyway, there were not many customers in their store, and the store owner didn't care about the "defective product" that had sneaked in, and just threw it into the pile of moonstones.
Noah didn't force it. This was the first time he had seen this kind of moonstone, and he thought it was a rare and special gem.
He went back to the shelf and picked out two beautiful moonstones and several usable auxiliary materials, and put them in front of the counter.
"Check, please."
The boss then sat up straight. He glanced at Noah and looked at Christina who was standing behind Noah: "Five Galleons."
Christina paid, and the boss took out a small bag, packed the materials, and handed it to Noah.
After leaving the store, Christina didn't ask Noah what else he needed. She handed the ice cream in her hand to Noah again: "Do you want to buy anything else?"
These materials are sufficient for now.
But it’s definitely not enough to just visit here. After taking a look at Christina who was “eagerly watching”, Noah said wisely: “Let’s go to the joke shop.”
Christina was then satisfied and happily took Noah shopping.
The joke shop is naturally just the beginning, but Noah is still quite interested in some of the products in the joke shop. He rarely comes to the joke shop, but every time he comes there will be some new magic products.
This time there is a new kind of biscuits that can make people make animal sounds. These biscuits are made to look like small animals, and they are also the kind that can move and scream.
He picked some things he had never seen before, intending to take them back to study the magic principles inside.
The look of him choosing with great interest made his mother feel very happy, thinking that her child was finally interested in this place.
After Noah finished choosing, she took Noah to visit the stores one by one.
There are rarely visited jewelry stores, snack shops, clothing stores, and even bookstores.
Noah had a pretty good time shopping, well, except when he was picking out clothes and some gadgets in clothing stores or jewelry stores.
However, the bookstore was quite fruitful, and he found some new biographical novels and some magic books.
Christina was also very happy. She bought all the books Noah wanted. In addition, she also bought him some new clothes. While buying them, she kept thinking that Noah had grown a lot in two months and it would be more difficult to go to school. Bring some clothes or something.
Noah: “…”
Okay, as long as your mother is happy.
