Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 335 Hiding the rich woman

   "Good morning." Colin greeted her while standing in the corridor.

   "Good morning." Shelley nodded, and said crisply, "Let's go."

  Looking at Colin, she thought for a while and said, "You'd better put on some disguise."

  Colin nodded slightly, and with a thought, the bones and skin on his face moved slightly, turning into an inconspicuous and ordinary youth in an instant.

  Shelley looked at him carefully, and suddenly asked:

   "What kind of witchcraft is this?"

  Looking at the inquiry in her eyes, Colin briefly explained.

   Sometimes, in this wizarding world, real physical alterations like this are harder to spot and more useful than witchcraft disguises.

  Shelley led him out through a one-person-high side door behind the castle of the True Knowledge Society.

  The side door leads to a remote alley, and they have already made up their disguises at this time.

   About half an hour later, the two came to an ordinary commercial street side by side.

   Walking in, after turning around, they arrived at an old potion shop deep in one of the remote alleys.

  The room was dim, with a faint smell of strange medicine. On the recliner behind the worn-out and peeling brown counter, a shriveled old woman in a black robe was lying halfway.

  Seeing the arrival of the two of Colin, she opened her eyes with difficulty and took a glance, then slowly closed them again, swaying slightly on the recliner.

  Shelley didn't say much, bypassing the old woman, walked to a dilapidated wall in the corner of the shop, and took out a thorn-shaped black badge from his body.

   There was no major anomaly, but with an indiscernible click sound, the old gray wall in front of him suddenly opened, revealing a deep and downward stone staircase.

  Seeing this scene, Colin subconsciously lowered his breath.

  He came here all the time, and finally he felt a little excited and nervous about going to the underground organization.

  He subconsciously glanced at Shelley, suddenly a little puzzled in his heart, why Shelley easily told him about the existence of these underground trade fairs, and later was willing to help him apply for membership.

   "Let's go, the following is the closest stronghold of Darren Commission to the castle of the True Knowledge Society." Shelley's whispered words interrupted his thoughts.

   Raised his head, Shelley had already walked forward first.

  Colin didn't think much, and followed closely behind. They all wore black hoods and face scarves.

   But Shelley's disguise is more than that, she has changed.

  If it was a beautiful and delicate indifferent doll before, now it looks like a young female academic who reveals a bit of sharpness.

  Grey-brown hair, eyes that have turned green under thick glasses, and skin that has become less smooth than before, but it is still good.

  The facial features have also been fine-tuned, not as refined as before, but a little more sharp.

  Going down the hard gray stairs step by step, Colin remained silent.

  Perhaps it was the delay caused by the blizzard a few days ago, but there was no news about the membership status of Darren Agency, which could have been obtained soon, until yesterday.

  The member badge of the agency is not bound to the wizard in order to protect privacy, such as magic, spirit and so on.

  So you can choose to let the entrustment office deliver the badge directly to your door.

  Colin originally planned to do the same, intending to ask the entrustment office to send the badge to the castle of the True Knowledge Society.

  But it just so happens that Shelley is going to see if there is any suitable task today.

  So he changed his mind and chose to come to this stronghold to pick up the membership badge himself.

   By the way, under the leadership of Shelley, let's see what Darren's commission looks like, so that you can come here by yourself in the future.

   After walking along the gray stone stairs for a few minutes, faint sounds began to be heard.

   Then, the bright crystals inlaid at regular intervals on both sides of the stairs suddenly became dense, and the light emitted illuminated the front.

  It was at the end of the gray staircase, and there stood a not-so-tall black iron door, without any decoration on it, as if a piece of iron had directly melted into the shape of the door, and it was installed on it.

  On the left side of the door, there is a half-person-high iron sculpture of thorns, which also looks very simple.

  Shelley walked over with ease, pushed open the door, and ignored the thorn sculpture.

   But Colin took a few more glances.

   Maybe he was thinking too much, but the iron sculpture of thorns in this position probably has other functions.

  Behind the door is a not-so-large rotunda. The walls should have been solidified with witchcraft, smooth and flat, looking abnormally hard.

  At this moment, there are only a few wizards inside, and most of them are wearing black robes, hoods and veils.

  On the upper side of the hall wall, there is a circular light curtain similar to the hall of the General Affairs City Hall of the school, but it has a light brown background and is much smaller in size.

  There are also many changing white characters on it. Most of the content is selling and buying witchcraft. Some of the buying requests have black strokes, which are commissions for custom witchcraft.

  The excitement in his heart gradually subsided, and Colin looked around carefully. He felt that apart from being a little quieter, the atmosphere here was a little more mysterious, and it didn't seem to be much different from the school's General Affairs Castle.

  Following Shelley, he finally received his badge in a deep office.

  Not in a hurry to go back, he and Shelley checked the mission in the mission hall.

  About ten minutes later, Colin had already reviewed the purchase and custom witchcraft commissions inside.

  It's a pity that I haven't seen any suitable buying or custom wizardry.

   Not leaving in a hurry, Colin then learned about the common market price of first-order witchcraft.

   After all, in addition to customized witchcraft, he can also sell first-order witchcraft here.

   It is worth mentioning that the witchcraft obtained after the gold paper limit is broken is a new kind of witchcraft, so it will no longer be bound by the confidentiality contract.

   That is to say, after those zero-level low-level witchcraft break the limit and become zero-level high-level and are bought out by outside shops, he only needs to break the limit once again before he can come here to sell it again.

   It can only be said that the way of making money by selling knowledge is really suitable for him who owns the gold paper.

   After a cursory look around, in Darren's entrustment office, the value of first-order witchcraft ranges from 10,000 magic stones to 400,000 magic stones, with great fluctuations.

  The reason why there is such a big gap is because buying and selling witchcraft here is also divided into buyout and ordinary buyout.

  If only ordinary sales are counted, then the price of first-order witchcraft is usually between 10,000 and 20,000 magic stones.

   In this transaction, the buyer signs a non-disclosure contract.

   As for the buyout, the price is obviously higher, generally around 20 times the normal selling price.

   At this time, the seller will sign a non-disclosure agreement, which is tantamount to selling the copyright of the entire witchcraft.

  Generally speaking, one ordinary sale at a time is definitely more cost-effective than a buyout sale in the long run.

   After all, according to the price difference, you only need to sell it about 20 times to earn the same magic stone as buying out.

   However, in fact, it is not the case.

  A lot of witchcraft are not as popular as expected.

   Sometimes, it may hang for many years, and the number of sales may be in single digits.

  So although ordinary selling is generally better, the specific choice of buying out or ordinary selling still needs to be judged according to the actual situation.

  The mind is separated from the inquiry crystal.

  Colin turned his head to look at Shelley next to him.

  Shelley just ended her inquiry. She adjusted her thick glasses and said softly, "Wait a minute, I have received a few custom orders, and I need to go to the counter to deal with them."

  ‘How many…? ’ Colin was speechless.

  Customized witchcraft commissions start with at least 100,000 magic stones, and there are many millions!

   accompanied Shelley to the counter.

  The only wizard behind the counter immediately showed joy when he saw Shelley approaching, and said with a smile:

   "Master Bing Ji, you're here to accept the commission again."

   "Yes." Shelley nodded calmly, and then told the wizard the name of the commission he wanted to accept.

   "Okay, please wait a moment." The wizard respectfully said, a little happy in his heart, it is really lucky to meet Bing Ji to come to pick up the commission this time!

  The commission after the follow-up commission is completed, I am afraid that at least a thousand magic stones can be obtained from him!

   "Here you are!" After some operations, the wizard respectfully took out four crystals and handed them to Shelley.

  Shelley skillfully put away the crystal.

  Colin looked at the plainly dressed Shelley again.

   This sorceress who usually lives in the laboratory, unexpectedly turned out to be a hidden rich woman!

   Those who can acquire knowledge in this world are indeed not poor!

  But you can’t tell it on weekdays. Colin touched his chin. Although Shelley is exquisite and beautiful, it all depends on her natural foundation.

   Dressing is extraordinarily simple, the black robe he usually wears is just an ordinary witch robe.

   There is no trace of witchcraft, not even anti-fouling effect, and some corners are even whitened due to long-term cleaning.

  Strictly speaking, even if Renee usually dresses better than Shelley, at least her maid outfit has a constant anti-fouling effect.

  ‘Maybe all the magic stones are used for research knowledge. '

  Colin didn't delve into it. After all, it's not a big deal.

  After going to Darren Commission this time to obtain membership status, Colin resumed his step-by-step life.

  Going back and forth between the Zhenzhi Association and home every day, two points and one line, very regular.

  It's just that he rescheduled the previously canceled meditation time and allocated it to Hochia's meditation method.

   After weighing it, he temporarily stopped his daily knight training and allocated this part of his time to other witchcraft exercises.

  After such an operation, he found that except for the stagnation of the knight's strength, the progress of other aspects did not slow down too much!

   It takes less time to practice the Hochia meditation method than he imagined.

   This is mainly because he is now a first-order wizard, and there is no need to use magic-eliminating potions to eliminate the magic power in his body and then practice another meditation method.

  If you want to avoid the body mutation caused by the mixing of magic power, and then lead to the decline of aptitude, you can directly use your mental power to separate two magic power seas carefully during cultivation, so the efficiency is greatly improved.

  In addition, Huoqiya's meditation method is already the third meditation method he has learned, so he is familiar with all aspects, and his practice efficiency is amazing.

   In this way, time passed another week under the regular life.

   On December 22, the sun was shining brightly.

  With the sunny weather comes good news.

  After two weeks of unremitting efforts, Colin finally successfully broke the limit to the upper zero level by using water archery and another zero-level low-level witchcraft air bomb!

  At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he finished his practice and prepared to go to Copper Rose Street to shoot them.

  ‘Well, you can also drop by Darren’s commission to have a look, maybe you can find a commission that suits you this time. '

  While closing the door of the laboratory, Colin thought to himself.

  Actually, there are not so many restrictions on those custom commissions.

  If he wanted to, he should be able to complete it bit by bit from scratch with the help of gold paper.

  However, the time cost is too high, and the cost performance is not as good as selling zero-level witchcraft directly.

  After all, as long as the zero-level witchcraft is in terms of attack and defense, and they are willing to be bought out, those bookstores with schools behind them are basically open to visitors.

   There is no need to worry about sales at all, and there is no need to spend time breaking the limit fusion to adjust its effect like custom witchcraft.

   So while he's been on Darren's board for a while, he's still on the unopened.

   Riding in a carriage, it didn't take long to arrive at Copper Rose Street.

  Because of the reasons for the previous investigation, Colin went straight to the first bookstore he had chosen a long time ago.

  This bookstore is medium-sized, and there is a certain distance from the second store he chose.

  Colin carefully made a disguise, prepared the witchcraft that broke the limit of water archery—water arrow art, and walked into the shop.

   Half an hour later, Colin walked out of the bookstore again with a smile on his face.

   On average, after a week of hard work, using gold paper to break the limit three times, a total of two hundred and twenty-two magic stones was consumed, but in the end it was a full 15,000 magic stones!

  What a huge profit!

   He was not in a hurry to sell the remaining zero-level high-level witchcraft that he named Air Cone, which was obtained by breaking the limit of the air bomb.

  Colin first left Copper Rose Street in a carriage.

   It is foreseeable that selling witchcraft will inevitably become his primary means of earning magic stones in the future. This is a long-term source of income, and it must be managed carefully and pay attention to details.

  He planned to go to Darren's commission first, and then come back to change his disguise and use the second air cone witchcraft.

  Come to the stronghold of Darren Commission, which is still the potion shop.

  The old woman was still half-sitting on the recliner, her withered face was covered with dimples.

  If it weren't for the fact that the chair was shaking slightly under her movements, it would be almost dead.

   Without caring what the old woman did, Colin went straight to the wall in the corner, and came to the commissioning hall with ease.

   There were still not many wizards in the hall, but it was still much stronger than when he first came in the morning.

   But even so, the atmosphere here is still deserted.

  Every wizard basically wears a disguise, and usually doesn't talk to others easily.

  Colin, who had long been used to it, walked to an empty crystal column and began to check the commission.

   After a brief screening, most of the dense entrustments on the light curtain in front of him disappeared immediately, leaving only a few dozen.

  These are the latest purchases and custom witchcraft commissions released in the past three days. The last time I came here was three days ago, so it is enough to just look at these this time.

  Since there were not many commissions, Colin quickly browsed through them.

   After a while, he shifted his gaze to the third-to-last commission, and joy slowly emerged in his heart.

   This is a custom sorcery commission.

  【Difficulty: Second-tier lower. 】

  [Introduction: Assist witchcraft, enhance the energy strength of elemental summons, and strengthen their ability to control them. 】

  【Remuneration: 250,000 magic stones. 】

  【Abbreviated requirements (click to expand). 】

  【Note: For further detailed requirements, please accept the entrustment and go to the counter to pick it up. 】

   After checking the brief requirements, Colin took out his badge and accepted the task without hesitation.

   This is the most suitable custom witchcraft commission he has seen in so many days!

   You must know that the strongest witchcraft he has mastered now is to summon the fire element.

  Knowledge of controlling elemental creatures and summoned objects is exactly what he is good at.

  Although I haven't had time to see the specific detailed requirements, as long as it's not too outrageous, Colin is confident that he can complete this commission within a month!

   "Hello, Your Excellency, this is your first time accepting a commission. How should I address you?"

  The counter in the lobby has changed to a wizard on duty this time, a long-haired female wizard.

  At this moment she was asking Colin.

   "The code name is fine, mainly for registration." She then added.

  Colin pondered for a moment, inexplicably thinking of Shelley's code name—Bing Ji, so he paused and said, "Just call me Wood Demon."

  The name of this life is pronounced a bit like "林" in the forest of the previous life, and Lin, when dismantled, means wood.

   is not a bad name, Colin smiled slightly in his heart, but then felt a little melancholy.

  'Unfortunately, in this world, I am afraid that no one else can discover the connection between the two...'

   "Okay, Your Excellency Wood Demon, I have already registered for you.

You also need to pay a deposit of 20,000. If you give up the entrustment within one month, the deposit will be fully refunded to you. If it is between one month and half a year, the deposit will be increased monthly, and 10% to 50% of the fee will be deducted as compensation. . "

"OK."

   Colin, who had learned about the process from Shelley a long time ago, was not surprised, took out 20,000 magic stones and handed them to the witch, and signed a simple confidentiality contract at the same time.

  The magic stone that had just been obtained was spent again before it was warmed up. Colin sighed, and after putting away the crystal that recorded the details of the entrustment, he quickly walked to the Copper Rose Street and used the air cone witchcraft.

  The power of the air cone is slightly weaker than that of the water arrow, and only 12,000 magic stones were sold in the end.

   That is to say, after going back and forth, after removing the deposit, there are only seven thousand magic stones in hand.

   It is also due to the fact that he is still in the stage of saving and improving recently, and he will not need to spend a lot of magic stones so soon.

  If you wait until the next two first-level high-ranking camouflage witchcraft reaches its limit, and Hokia's meditation method reaches its limit, the magic stones needed will definitely not be small!

  But it seems that that time is not far away... Colin looked at the progress of more than half of the progress on the gold paper, and couldn't help looking forward to it.
