Chapter 5 The Magician's Transaction

When he arrived at the house on Earth, Xu Yue quickly checked the door locks and windows. After confirming that no one had come in, he quickly changed Talunmiya's clothes, put on an ordinary casual outfit, and took out the hundreds of dollars hidden under the mattress from under the bed and left the house.

After leaving the house, he took a taxi directly to a nearest store that specialized in experimenting with glassware. Seven or eight minutes later, he took a taxi back to his residence with a box.

Carefully unpack the box in the living room, which contains various glassware for chemical tests, mainly test tubes and bottles of various sizes.

Xu Yue picked a small test tube and took it in his hand, took out the test crystal that Ricky gave him and touched it carefully.

The scales on the crystal lit up green light one by one, and his heart also jumped faster and faster as the scale filled with green light became higher and higher. It stopped after the green light reached the ninth scale.

His expression of anxiety on his face was replaced by ecstasy, and he waved his fist excitedly, then picked up several other glassware and started testing.

After testing, the glass bottles showed basically nine scales, and two or three showed eight scales. According to Ricky, the value of these glass bottles was already a rare item in Talenmiya.

Afraid that the test crystal would affect the test results due to the environment on earth, he opened the space door and took the glass bottles to the house in Tarenmia for another test. Seeing that the results of the two tests were the same, he felt relieved.

When Ricky heard that the Pure Bottle needed to be manufactured in a low magic concentration area, he had an idea in his mind.

If the magic concentration is low, I'm afraid that the entire Talunia will not find a region with a lower magic concentration than the one on Earth.

The concentration of magic elements contained in the materials used to make glass on Earth is pitifully low, so the steps of activating magic elements in the materials in Tarenmia are eliminated.

This means that the earth has perfectly met the conditions for making pure containers.

Sure enough, the facts were the same as he had guessed. All these glassware on the earth were pure containers.

After being excited for a while, Xu Yue seemed to remember something and frowned at the box of glass bottles.

He found that the lowest scale of the glass bottle in his box was eight-scale, which was valuable. But for him at this time, it was a bit too valuable.

The eight-scale glass bottle can only be used by some strong people or relatively large forces.

He was just an ordinary person at this time. If he took these glass bottles and went directly to trade those strong people or large forces, he might be swallowed up without even the residue.

This is the same as a child who can't even walk steadily with a huge sum of money on the street.

Xu Yue rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, sat beside the bed and started thinking.

Judging from the current situation, you must never sell these glasses directly. The risk is too huge, and almost 90% of them may bring him life danger.

"Damn it! It's a problem if things are so good!" He slapped the table with some annoyance.

After thinking about a few solutions, it didn't work. He picked up the glass bottles with a headache and looked at them. Suddenly, after seeing the label of the factory date on the glass bottle, a vague idea flashed through his mind.

I quickly picked up a few glass bottles and tested them again, and divided them into two piles according to the test scale, one with eight scales and the other with nine scales.

Then he compared the dates of the labels of the glass bottles on both sides and was immediately overjoyed.

The comparison results confirmed his guess that the longer the glass bottle is out of the factory, the higher the scale.

Those glass bottles with a scale of nine were shipped out of the factory two years earlier than those with a scale of eight.

According to Xu Yue's guess, because the magic concentration on the earth is very low, it is even only one tenth of that of Talunmiya. In theory, the glass bottles produced here should be at least about ten scales in terms of purity.

But in fact, the ordinary glass bottles he bought are eight-scale and nine-scale. There must be something that increases the concentration of magical elements in these glass bottles.

He thought that the earth must come into contact with flames during the process of burning glass. Even if the concentration of magic elements in the earth's air is low, the fire element contained in the form of flame that violently releases energy must be much higher than the concentration in the air.

When the Talunmiya continent burns glass bottles, it uses a special magic array to melt and fire, minimizing the influence of the fire element. However, there is no same method on the earth, so even in such a low environment, the purity of the glass burned in glass still cannot directly reach high scales.

After the glass bottle is made, because the concentration of magic elements in the earth's air is much lower than that in the glass bottle itself, the magic elements in the glass will gradually dissipate.

Therefore, the longer the glass bottle is, the higher the purity, and vice versa.

After understanding these problems, Xu Yue picked up the box of glass bottles and returned to the house on Earth again. This box of glass bottles cannot be sold, at least he cannot sell them until he has enough self-protection strength.

He took a taxi to the store selling glassware again. After asking the owner, he bought some glassware with different production dates, and then hurriedly took a taxi in the strange eyes of the owner and returned home.

After he got home and closed the door, he measured again with a nervous mood and bought two new glass bottles. The test results made him feel relieved.

According to the test crystal, the glass bottles that have just been out of the factory for about half a month show the scale of five, but looking at the intensity of the six-scale green light, it will be just a little short of the intensity of the sixth scale. Obviously, these five-scale glass bottles are of the best quality even in the five-scale.

Those glass bottles that have been out of the factory for half a year show six to seven scales.

After his rough estimate, the relationship between the manufacturing time and purity of the glass bottle is listed. The glass bottle that has just left the factory is about five scales; the factory time is about six to seven scales ranging from six to seven scales; the factory time is more than two years and eight scales, and the four years is nine scales. As for how long it takes for a glass bottle with a ten scale, it remains to be tested.

After confirming his thoughts, Xu Yue waved his arm excitedly, and then selected a glass bottle that performed very well on the seven-scale and wrapped it in cloth.

After that, he began to simulate the actions he was about to take place in his mind, anticipate various situations he might encounter and come up with ways to deal with them.

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Yege Tavern was still as lively as usual. Xu Yue walked into the tavern as usual, but he did not order a glass of Suther as usual and chatted with the people in the tavern.

After saying hello to a few acquaintances, he asked his boss Kate a few words and walked towards the second floor of the tavern. Standing in front of a guest room, he knocked on the door gently.

"who?"

"Hello! Mr. Peter Drucker, I'm here to talk to you about the tasks you posted in the tavern!" Xu Yue said at the door.

After hearing this, the door was opened soon. The magic apprentice whom I saw in Ricky's alchemy shop a few days ago stood at the door. He was blushing and looked a little haggard. His messy hair and tired eyes made people see at a glance that he had not had a good rest for a while.

"Do you have a pure container of seven scales?" Peter Drucker asked anxiously.

"This...Mr. Drucker, see if we are talking in another place. After all, this is not a good place to talk." Xu Yue looked around and shrugged and said.

The magic apprentice realized that he was indeed a little abrupt. He smiled embarrassedly, and after tidying up his clothes, he politely invited Xu Yue into the room.

"Sorry, I'm neglected! I think you know that for some reason, I've been very upset during this period, so I feel a little impatient. I hope you don't care. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet!"

After the two sat down at the table, Xu Yue said with a smile: "Of course, I came here to solve your troubles. My name is Xu Yue, and you can see that I am a Chatner, so my surname is Xu, and Yue is my name."

"Haha, the name of the Chatners is indeed very strange. I have also communicated with a wizard from Chatner before. Many of the Chatners' life philosophy and ways of dealing with the world are indeed thought-provoking. I have always yearned for a tour to Chatner to increase my experience, but unfortunately I have never had the chance."

It can be seen that Peter Drucker is indeed very anxious about the pure container, but even in this anxious situation, he still patiently greeted Xu Yue without showing any impatience.

Both of them were not interested in chatting, and after saying a few casual words, they quickly got to the point.

Xu Yue first took out a test tube wrapped in cloth from his arms and put it on the table and said, "I think you know what I want to come. I met you in Ricky's alchemy shop before, and later when I was chatting with Ricky, I knew you were going to buy a pure container of seven scales. I happened to have one here that I bought for some reason but had never used it."

Peter Drucker couldn't help but show an excited expression on his face after seeing the glass bottle.

After obtaining Xu Yue's consent, he carefully picked up the glass bottle and looked at it, then took out a piece of test crystal and gently touched the bottle wall. Suddenly, seven scales of green light lit up on the crystal.

"Yes, it's a pure container with seven scales, and it's a top-quality test crystal's brightness. Mr. Xu Yue, are you planning to trade directly?" Peter Drucker said without any concealment of his excited expression.

"Of course! But I have some small requirements for the payment of the task!" Xu Yue nodded and said.

Peter Drucker paused slightly after hearing this sentence, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He said in a little embarrassedly: "This... Mr. Xu Yue, I'll tell you. Because I didn't expect that I would get unexpected gains this time, the funds I brought were not very abundant. Eight hundred gold coins are the highest price I can give."

Xu Yue shook her head and smiled, "I think you misunderstood. I'm not going to take advantage of the situation. Eight hundred gold coins are already a very high price. It would be a bit too greedy to ask for a higher amount!"

After looking at Peter Drucker's puzzled expression, he continued, "This question has to be discussed from the beginning. In fact, strictly speaking, you and I are still with you. Of course, in our words, I am a knocker."

When Peter Drucker heard this, he immediately showed a clear expression on his face.

Magicians usually accept disciples after receiving disciples. If this disciple can satisfy him, he will give his own exclusive magic inheritance mark to his disciples. Only then can the disciple truly start learning magic and have the identity of a magic apprentice. The knocker refers to the disciples who are still in the investigation period.

"I'm so rude! I didn't expect you to be a magic explorer. Please forgive me for your previous rudeness!" Peter Drucker said after saluting slightly with apologetic attitude.

His attitude has changed significantly, and his name Xu Yue has changed from you before to you. For professionals with the same status as him, it is a rather rude behavior to directly call "you".

"I was negligent. I was also rude when I didn't reveal my identity in advance." Xu Yue also bowed slightly.

After pondering for a while, he continued, "In fact, I am in trouble now! My teacher passed away during an expedition two months ago. Although the teacher gave me the mark of inheritance before his death, he did not have time to impart any magic knowledge."

"So what do you mean?" Peter Drucker asked tentatively.

"I mean, the transaction reward is changed to 600 gold coins and basic magic introductory books. Of course, the types of introductory books cannot be less than the standard subjects learned by the academic intermediate magic apprentice." Xu Yue said with a smile.

"Just a standard subject for an academic intermediate magic apprentice? No other skills or special magic skills are needed?"

"Not bad! It only needs basics. I think you know that for door knockers like me, the most important thing is not casting skills and special magic, but laying a good foundation for magic learning!"

Peter Drucker hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem! Books in the basic category of magic apprenticeships are not within the confidentiality of the academy, and can be bought even in the Magic Guild. In this way, I have taken advantage of you. These books can be purchased in the Magic Guild for about 150 gold coins."

"Haha, you don't have to care about these. To be honest, as a pursuer of the magic secrets of losing the teacher, I know very little about the world of magic. So if you are convenient, I hope you can briefly introduce some of this situation to me, and the extra money will be regarded as your reward for explaining to me. This information may be just some common sense to you, but it can solve my big trouble for me." Xu Yue said with a smile.

Peter Drucker nodded and said, "This is no problem. I will tell you about these situations in detail later. However, before the transaction, can you please show your inheritance mark? You should know that this is a necessary procedure."

Xu Yue nodded and stretched out his right hand very simply. As he closed his eyes and focused, a strange symbol flashed with a faint silver light emerged from the back of his right hand.

The inheritance of magicians on the Talumia continent is not something that can be taught casually. Generally, only after reaching the level of a first-level magician, they can register at the Magic Guild and be recognized by the Magic Guild, and they can be considered formal mages. A mage who is not registered is called a wild mage and is not recognized by the Magic Guild. The status of the two is very different from the treatment they enjoy.

As the largest magician organization on the Talumia continent, the Magic Guild has huge resources and power. Whether it is a scholar or a legacy sect, it must be registered with the Magic Guild before it will be recognized by various countries and organizations on the mainland.

Formal mages can enjoy the resources provided by the corresponding magic guild according to their level, and can purchase magic knowledge, magic materials and magic items from the magic guild. Wild mages cannot enjoy these, and they have to obtain all resources and channels by themselves, and the scope is much narrower.

The difference between the two is as incomparable as the medical experts in famous hospitals in big cities and the barefoot doctors in the most remote rural areas.

Seeing Xu Yue revealing his magic mark, Oward also stretched out his left hand, and a light blue imitation on his hand

The magic mark like a Buddha's crown also emitted a faint blue light. When the two men's hands approached, they saw two magic marks suddenly shot out a white light at the same time and docked together.

After seeing this, Peter Drucker nodded and withdrew his hand, and the resonance between the two marks disappeared instantly.

"Very good! We have verified the marks with each other. Then the transaction is below." As he said that, Oward walked to the bed and found four books and a card from a bag and walked back.

"The basic knowledge of junior and intermediate magic apprentices in the academy includes basic magic principles, primary magic material recognition, primary alchemy and zero-level magic volume 1 and second volumes. Two of these zero-level magic volumes were synthesized into one volume by me, and they are all here. This secret transaction card contains 600 gold coins, which can be cashed in any trading store affiliated with the Magic Guild."

Xu Yue just read the four magic books briefly and then put them away. As for the transaction card, he had heard Oward say it, but he had never seen it before. However, this kind of card is easy to identify. The card clearly states the amount and unit of the stored currency, so he is not afraid of being cheated.

There is a small magic material purchase shop in the Magic Guild in the town, which is very convenient to exchange gold coins, so he did not ask the other party to pay cash.

After the transaction was completed, both parties were very happy. Xu Yue got the magic knowledge and money he needed, while Peter Drucker paid 200 gold coins less with some books and information that were not expensive to him. More importantly, he solved his urgent need for a pure container. With the lava flower he collected, he could get a very generous profit when he went back, which was enough to recover the loss of buying a pure container and then make a lot of money.
