Chapter 140 Three top witchcraft props
"Is there anything better, such as a top-level witchcraft prop-level longbow?" Richard asked proactively this time.
Of the three bows the girl just took, the remaining two were obviously longbows at the intermediate level of witchcraft props.
Richard was even less interested in this.
"This." The girl looked hesitant.
When Richard saw this, he was overjoyed.
Obviously, the girl's expression has revealed that this auction house must have a longbow of the top level of witchcraft props.
The current situation is that this item has either been ordered by someone, or the auction house wants to use it as the highlight of the auction.
"The magic stone is not a problem." Richard added.
"My lord, please forgive me. If you really want to buy top-level witchcraft items, I need to trouble you and show your purchasing power." The girl said seriously.
This is because the girl met many wizard apprentices. After coming here, she would be like Richard. After seeing several items, she was not satisfied and asked to see higher-end items. However, this was beyond her reception authority and she needed to report to the supervisor.
However, when the supervisor comes, he often shows timidity, obviously because of limited financial resources.
After experiencing several situations where customers refused to buy, her supervisor already had some opinions on her.
"Well, okay, can you take a look at this?" Richard didn't think anything of it. He took out the short staff [Wrath of the Storm] and handed it to the girl.
It is very common to need capital verification when purchasing valuable goods in previous lives.
Moreover, there are even more exaggerated things. For example, when Richard purchased Hermès bags in his previous life, he often needed to get the goods distributed.
The meaning of distribution is that if a customer buys a bag, assuming it costs 100,000, he must also spend another 100,000 to buy other Hermès products, otherwise Hermès bags cannot be sold to you.
"Is this a top-notch witchcraft item?" The girl took the [Wrath of the Storm] and was instantly shocked by the powerful wind element energy it contained. She immediately looked at Richard with wide eyes and said in surprise.
"Not bad, can this prove my purchasing power?" Richard said with a smile.
"Of course, please wait a moment, I will ask the supervisor to come over right away." The girl respectfully handed [Wrath of the Storm] hands to Richard, and she hurried out.
The girl knew that this visit must be a big customer.
Because this was her first time meeting a customer, she was using top-notch witchcraft props.
After a while, the girl walked in accompanied by a middle-aged man who looked like a butler in a tuxedo.
The appearance of men is also more distinctive, with a mustache.
"Dear distinguished guest, hello, I am Boris, the director of Pitt Auction House. I heard that you want to buy a top-level witchcraft prop-level item?" Boris bowed slightly and greeted politely.
"Yes, I came here this time to buy a top-level witchcraft prop-level weapon, either a bow or a knight's sword." Richard said slowly.
"Then do you have any requirements for specific weapon attributes and styling?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as the lethality is higher, the better."
"If that's the case, our auction house has exactly three of the items you need. Please wait a moment." Boris smiled and whispered to the girl to get them.
After a while, Richard saw the girl holding three boxes, two large and one small.
However, the small box didn't look like it could hold a bow or a knight's sword, which made Richard a little confused.
Boris opened the largest box first, took out a huge light cyan longbow, and began to introduce:
"[Gryphon Wings] is a top-level witchcraft prop. The raw material is the feathers of a griffon. It is cured with the wind and sharpness techniques. It can shoot five arrows per day that are blessed with these two zero-level witchcrafts. After use, , it only needs to be charged for 12 hours before it can be used again.”
"How powerful are these five arrows?" Richard raised his eyebrows and asked with a hint of interest.
"If you use the special arrows made of griffin tail feathers - griffon tail arrows, then the lethality of each of these five arrows will exceed 7 degrees and be close to 8 degrees." Boris said firmly.
Richard looked calm on the surface, but he was extremely satisfied inside.
This attack power has reached the lethality of the weaker zero-level witchcraft.
Moreover, it can be used five times a day, which is not a lot.
Coupled with his extreme level of bow skills, I am afraid that the lethality can be increased by one or two levels again.
Because, generally speaking, the lethality of magic is less than 5 degrees. Those with more than 5 degrees but not more than 20 degrees are zero-level witchcraft. Above 20 degrees, it is considered to have entered the threshold of first-level witchcraft.
It should be added that the lethality mentioned here refers to the lethality tested by a medium-qualified wizard or wizard apprentice with a proficient level of witchcraft control and without the influence of witchcraft props and other factors. .
For example, the Shadow Grip mastered by Richard is actually not very lethal when used, and the damage is only about 12 degrees.
However, if a top genius with super affinity to dark elements were to use Shadow Grasp under the same conditions, the damage would probably reach over 15 degrees.
Therefore, the lethality of a witchcraft is determined by a combination of factors such as the level of witchcraft control, element affinity, and witchcraft props.
Of course, Shadow Grasp is not known for its lethality, but its versatile applications, which makes it rank extremely high among zero-level shadow witchcraft.
Richard gently stroked the light cyan [Gryphon Wings] that Boris handed him. The bow had a strange touch that was neither gold nor wood. Thinking back to what was just introduced, it was made of griffon feathers. It should be true.
Moreover, there are two miniature witchcraft circles on the bow handle of [Wings of the Griffin]. At this moment, majestic wind element energy is surging. Presumably one of them should be a sharp magic circle, and the other is. Wind magic circle.
However, seeing is believing, so Richard stood up and asked, "Can I try it out?"
"Of course. VIP, please come with me." Boris stood up and walked to the side of the VIP room. After opening a small door, what caught Richard's eyes was a spacious small training ground.
The entire training ground is rectangular, with a depth of more than 100 meters and a width of only 30 to 40 meters. On one side of the end of the field, there are several dummies made of iron wood.
Richard immediately felt itchy when he saw it. He followed the instructions on the [Wings of the Griffin] and after reading a few syllables, the long bow glowed with green light. Obviously, this was the state of the witchcraft circle being activated.
Nearly a hundred meters away, Richard set up his eagle-tailed arrow and aimed at the ironwood dummy.
When he placed the arrow on the bow, in an instant, Richard felt two masses of wind energy being applied to the eagle's tail arrow in his hand.
"Chirp!" followed by a distinctive, extremely sharp sound that broke through the air.
A blurry afterimage was seen passing by, and the eagle-tailed arrow shot directly into the ironwood dummy's torso at an ultra-high speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Duo!" After the hit, there was only a dull impact sound, which seemed not to be very powerful.
But Richard, whose eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, had already seen clearly that the eagle-tailed arrow he had just shot had already been deeply embedded in the hard iron wood, and only the tail of the arrow was exposed, less than an inch.
Richard couldn't help but feel a surge of panic in his heart, hiss! This penetrating power is comparable to the heavy sniper rifle Barrett I saw in my previous life.
This is exactly the highly lethal longbow that Richard needs now.
Boris and the girl did not expect that Richard could directly hit the dummy with his bow from such a distance. At this moment, Zheng Zheng clapped his hands and praised: "Good archery skills! Your bow and arrow skills are really eye-opening. "
"How much does this bow cost?" Richard asked proactively.
"The basic price is 1,800 magic stones. If you want to buy it directly, you need to pay 2,700 magic stones. Of course, we will also give you a tube of eagle's tail arrows, a total of twenty pieces. If you purchase the eagle's tail arrows separately, You will need 5 magic stones each."
Richard nodded, said nothing, and turned back to the VIP room.
Boris and the girl looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out what Richard meant. Did he want it or not?
After sitting back down, Richard said, "Director Boris, won't you introduce the second item?"
Boris was stunned for a moment, reacted instantly, and immediately enthusiastically introduced the next item to Richard.
When the girl opened the second large box, a slender silver-white knight's sword came into view. As soon as it came into contact with the air, frost began to condense on the surface of the sword's blade.
It is only about twenty centimeters longer than the average knight's sword, and the width of the sword is also slightly narrower. In addition to the witchcraft circle, there is also a complicated pattern on the hilt.
It seemed like he had seen this pattern somewhere before. An idea flashed in his mind. When he recalled it, Richard found that it seemed somewhat similar to the pattern of the night elves, but different at the same time.
After Richard looked at it carefully, he felt that this long sword probably did not look like it was made by a human craftsman. He turned around and asked, "An elf's long sword?"
Boris looked quite surprised, looked at Richard with admiration, and praised: "The distinguished guest is really well-informed!"
Immediately no longer exciting, Boris began to introduce: "[Ice Guardian], a masterpiece from the elf craftsmen in the North. The whole body is made of cold iron mixed with a trace of gold essence. It is said that this kind of long sword was made by the Elf Queen herself." Standard preparation for the Guards.”
When Richard heard this, his expression immediately changed slightly. Of course he had heard of the name Jin Jing. Only a small amount of this material was needed to greatly increase the hardness of a weapon.
Boris paused and added: "Although it is standard equipment, it is extremely rare to find it living outside."
Upon hearing this, Richard nodded in agreement. Only a handful of the equipment of the Elf Queen's personal guards could be left outside.
Boris emphatically explained this point, and his purpose was very clear. He wanted to express that although this piece of equipment is the standard equipment of the Elf Queen Guards, it is very rare in the human world.
"[Ice Guardian] is a top-level witchcraft prop. There is a witchcraft circle on the front and back of the sword hilt. The sword is equipped with the ice-based zero-level witchcraft Deep Winter Cold and Gradual Freeze. The sword is in the middle. Everyone will be injured by its special cold air, and their movement speed and agility will be greatly reduced."
Unexpectedly, the two witchcraft formations both inflicted ice damage. After a moment of thought, Richard understood the elf craftsman's idea of creating this long sword.
This [Ice Guardian] does not have sharpness added to it. That is because a trace of gold essence has been added to the sword. In terms of sharpness and hardness, even if a witchcraft circle is added to further strengthen it, the improvement will not be as large as Large because it is sharp and strong enough.
Therefore, in the limited space, the hilt of the sword was engraved with an ice magic circle, making this weapon surprisingly cold.
Richard's fingertips lightly scratched the frost-covered sword blade, and he felt an extreme cold penetrate his body from his fingertips. You must know that this was before the special effects of the witchcraft circle were turned on.
If the special effects of the two witchcraft circles are turned on, and then the long sword is used to slash the enemy, the opponent must feel very sore!
That’s drinking Sprite in the summer and feeling cool!
"If special effects are used, how long can the two witchcraft arrays be sustained?"
"It can last for about ten minutes. It will take a day to recharge before it can be used again," Boris added.
Richard nodded, ten minutes was basically enough for a battle.
He liked the special effects of this weapon so much. It reduced the enemy's movement speed and agility. Except for a few wizards specializing in ice, this special effect could only be produced by master craftsmen in the North.
However, this elf sword has an extraordinary origin, and its price must be astonishing.
"What's the price of this long sword?" Richard thought for a moment, then turned to Boris and asked.
"The basic price is 2,200 magic stones. If you choose to buy it directly, you will need to pay a total of 3,300 magic stones." Boris glanced at Richard meaningfully, as if he wanted to observe the other person through Richard's expression. purchase intention and financial resources.
But Richard's expression never changed at all, and he just handed the sword back to the girl in a very gentlemanly manner.
At this point, Boris raised his brows and did not continue to introduce the last item. Instead, he picked up the teacup on the coffee table and said: "Dear guest, please allow me to drink some honey tea. I just introduced two items, and now it's a bit... Dry mouth."
Richard smiled dumbly. As soon as he heard what Boris said, he knew that the other party had not expressed his position after seeing him twice, and he began to doubt whether he sincerely wanted to buy it.
The next second, Richard turned to Boris and said with a smile: "Director Boris, I want to sell this [Wrath of the Storm] to your auction house. If the price is right, I think your house will not mind buying more." Such a collection."
Boris's eyes lit up when he saw the short cyan staff handed over by Richard. Just now, he heard Pernilai say that the other party had a top-notch witchcraft item in his hand, but now he was still shocked when he saw it.
Because [Wrath of the Storm] is made entirely of bright wood and specializes in the wind element, if you meet a wizard apprentice with a high affinity for the wind element, it can be said to complement each other.
Moreover, from another perspective, this [Wrath of the Storm] is a short staff. For wizard apprentices, the threshold for using short staff is obviously lower than that of bows and swords, so the value will be higher to a certain extent. of bonus.
Boris couldn't put it down and held [Storm's Fury] in his hand and studied it carefully, then checked the explanation circle, and said: "Dear distinguished guest, your [Storm's Fury] is very rare. We at Pete's Auction Okay, I’m willing to pay 3,500 magic stones for the purchase, what do you think?”
Richard pondered for a moment, and the price was not bad. It was a little higher than the [Ice Guardian], which was in line with his expectations.
Boris also said nothing, and then continued: "Of course, distinguished guest, you can also choose the consignment method, and our auction house will auction it on your behalf. However, our bank will take 10% of the total price as a commission."
Richard would definitely not choose this form of consignment. Regarding [Wrath of the Storm], Richard felt that even if he happened to meet a wizard apprentice specializing in the wind system, the auction price should not exceed 4,200 magic stones, deducting 10% of the transaction. The cost is only between 3,700 and 3,800.
From this point of view, although the other party must have slightly lowered the price, there was no need to bargain for one or two hundred magic stones since I was in a hurry to make a move.
So, Richard smiled and said: "Director Boris, don't worry, isn't there a third item? Can you introduce it to me now?"
Boris smiled mysteriously and said: "Of course, this item can be said to be extremely rare, so the price is also extremely expensive. The average third-level wizard apprentice may not be able to afford it, but you, the distinguished guest, are definitely no longer in this category."
After a pause, Boris saw that Richard still looked calm, so he carefully opened the small box and handed it to Richard.
I saw a dusty metal wristband placed in the center of the gorgeous box. It looked unattractive and seemed not as valuable as the box.
Richard couldn't help but be very curious and looked up at Boris. Boris waved his hand, indicating that Richard could check it out by himself.
When Richard touched the metal wristband, he found that it was cold and of moderate weight. Moreover, the witchcraft array was actually carved inside the wristband. When he touched it with his hand, he found that the inner circle was actually full of witchcraft runes. It was extremely complicated.
When he saw Richard finally showing doubts, Boris smiled with satisfaction and seemed to be very satisfied with the effect. He introduced: "This item, called [Mimicry Bracer], is made of mimicry metal mixed with gold essence, Made of thorium, and by the hands of an official wizard."
Mimicry metal! Richard felt a sense of surprise in his heart. Of course he had heard of the name of mimic metal. It was said that only formal wizards could make it, and it was extremely expensive.
"The distinguished guests have also seen the witchcraft array inside the wrist guard. This is a special mimicry array. Although it is complicated, it only has one function, which is to simulate the shape conceived in the user's mind."
"Because this item is mixed with gold essence and thorium, they are extremely strong metals. Therefore, the greatest use of this equipment is to transform it into defensive equipment such as shields or armor."
"Of course, there is no problem if it is used to transform a knight's sword, but its special effects are not as good as the [Ice Guardian] you saw before."
Richard nodded to express his understanding. The biggest function of mimetic metal is to change its shape to cope with various situations.
Moreover, it is a good thing to lean towards defense, as your defensive ability can be improved to another level.
"Can I try it?"
Seeing Richard's slightly excited face, Boris smiled and nodded.
After checking the explanatory circle inside the wristband, Richard immediately recited a few short syllables in Akkadian recorded on it.
In an instant, the gray wristband turned into bright silver, and ripples appeared on the surface, just like the surface of a body of water.
Richard began to meditate on the appearance of a square tower shield in his mind. The moment the tower shield pattern was completed in his mind, the wrist guard suddenly turned into a thin square tower shield to resist Richard.
Richard was immediately overjoyed. The mimetic metal changed extremely quickly, almost synchronizing with what he was thinking, which was beyond his expectation.
However, when Richard carefully observed its deformed state, he frowned and said, "This thickness...?"
Seeming to be a little confused about how much of a defensive role this thickness can play, Boris quickly said: "Dear guest, regardless of the thickness, the current area should have a defense level of 15 degrees, and the smaller the area, the higher the defense level. , the highest can be close to 20 degrees, which is almost the limit of the wizard apprentice’s attack power.”
It turns out that the larger the area is, the weaker the defense is, and the smaller the area is, the stronger the defense is.
Richard nodded to express his understanding. If used properly, having this piece of equipment in hand would often be equivalent to an extra life.
So, Richard raised the tower shield and asked, "How many magic stones?"
"The basic price is 5,000 magic stones. If you want to buy it directly, you need to pay 7,500 magic stones."
"What?" Richard couldn't help but lost his voice.
Although Richard had expected that it would be expensive, he never expected that the price of this [Mimetic Wristband] would be so high.
You must know that the entry-level low-level magic weapon only costs more than 10,000 magic stones.
And this top-level witchcraft item actually requires 7,500 magic stones. It is a good thing, but the price is really too high.
Of course, Boris saw Richard's surprise and said calmly: "This [Mimetic Bracer] was once an heirloom of a small wizard family. Later, some changes occurred in the family and it fell apart. Since then, it has experienced many twists and turns. This This piece of [Mimetic Wristband] finally ended up at our Pete Auction House."
"We also spent a lot of money during the acquisition. Originally, this item was intended to be the finale of our auction three days later, so..."
Having said this, Boris paused and said no more.
Of course, Richard understood what the other party meant. If he thought the price was too high, he could wait until the auction three days later to bid. If there were fewer bidders, the price might be cheaper.
At this moment, the VIP room was completely silent. Neither Boris nor the girl interrupted Richard's thinking.
No matter who it is, you should think carefully before purchasing such a valuable item.
Actually, what Richard was thinking was not that the [Mimetic Bracers] were too expensive and therefore not worth buying.
Is he considering choosing [Mimetic Bracers] alone, [Mimetic Bracers] and [Gryphon Wings], or all three?
The price of [Mimetic Bracers] alone is 7,500 magic stones, but if you include [Ice Guardian] and [Gryphon Wings], it is 13,500 magic stones.
An absolute huge sum of money!
