Chapter 52: Loved by Everyone

Following the direction of Moral's finger, stood a young man in a silver magic robe.

Arthur found that he knew this young man. He was the one who stood up and demonstrated the fireball technique in class today. His polite behavior at that time left a deep impression on Arthur.

Now he just changed the gold and red uniforms into silver magic robes, and paired with his long silver hair and a face as white as jade, he is as handsome as a silver elf. Even Arthur, who has only met him once, has a good impression of him. He is indeed loved by everyone, but where does the "fool" come from?

The young man also noticed Arthur and Moral at the top of the stairs. He was stunned for a moment and then walked over with a smile, and took the initiative to extend his hand to Arthur, "What a coincidence. Hello Arthur, I'm Joan."

In Guano Academy, where everyone is in uniform, Arthur is the only one who carries a sword and wears mercenary leather armor, so it is not surprising that the young man knows Arthur. As for Arthur's reason for not wearing the new uniform, the reason is even more bizarre. The magic robe is too large and hinders his own work.

The young man Qing gave an unusually simple name, perhaps just the abbreviation of his first name. He did not say his last name.

 "Nice to meet you." Arthur shook hands with Joan politely.

 "I'm Moral." Moral excitedly took the initiative to hold Joan's hand.

Interacting with two of this year's weirdos in one day was indeed an unexpected gain for Moral, who was determined to build connections.

 After briefly greeting the two of them, Joan continued to select enchanted equipment, and Arthur also turned his attention to the equipment on display.

This floor displays nearly a hundred pieces of rare-level and above equipment. Each piece is displayed individually and covered with crystal glass.

Those who can afford this level of equipment are considered big customers. There is a dedicated clerk next to each person to take out every piece of equipment that the customer is interested in.

Arthur looked at several pieces of enchanted equipment one after another and carefully observed the magic circle imprinted on the equipment. The magic circle attached to the equipment was like a pattern engraved on it. Arthur gently stroked every line with his fingers, not missing any detail.

This equipment are enchanted with some of the simplest and most commonly used magics, such as long swords with second-level metal sharp magic, and chain armor with second-level earth solid magic. Even in the eyes of Arthur, who is just starting out, The enchanting techniques and actual combat effects are also average.

There are only two pieces of equipment that seem pretty good to Arthur. A stainless steel spear with a third-level wind blade technique. When the spear is thrust out, it can be activated to shoot three wind blades. It can indeed have a surprisingly difficult attack effect; A cloak with a third-level wind levitation technique. Although the user cannot fly after the magic circle is activated, it can float in the air for a short period of time, which is very effective for dodging or jumping from high places to attack.

To understand the market, Arthur asked the prices one by one. These enchanted equipment, which he thought had average effects, were surprisingly expensive. The level 4 long sword with sharp magic was priced at 200 gold coins, the level 5 stainless steel spear with level 3 wind blade magic was priced at 500 gold coins, and the level 5 cloak with level 3 levitation magic was priced at 800 gold coins due to its rarity.

The price of equipment increases geometrically as the level increases. For example, a first-level leather armor is worth one gold coin, and a second-level leather armor is worth four gold coins. The second-level mercenary leather armor on Arthur is the least expensive because of its exquisite workmanship. Worth five gold coins, the third-level equipment has been upgraded to fifteen or sixteen gold coins. The third-level leather boots under Arthur's feet are worth at least thirty-five gold coins because the enchantment price has doubled. This is because the remote enchanter in Juarez City asks for a low price. , if the same equipment were placed in the "Twanging" store, the price would be at least three times higher and priced at fifty gold coins.

On the other side, Joan was also very interested in enchanted equipment. She looked at five or six pieces in succession and still had no intention of stopping. At this time, she was stroking a silver half-fingered leather glove in her hand.

 "How can I sell this piece of equipment?" It seems that he really has a soft spot for silver.

"If you like it, Master, you can take it for fifty gold coins."

Qing's face turned cold, "Are you making fun of me?"

The clerk on the side quickly smiled when he saw this, "Master, if you think it's too expensive, I'll ask the shopkeeper for instructions. Maybe I can sell it for forty gold coins!"

Qing's face turned completely cold, and he asked angrily: "This price is an insult to the enchanter of this equipment. Why is it that other enchanted equipment has a minimum price of two hundred gold coins, but this one is only fifty gold coins? Is your store in Are you deliberately trying to suppress that enchanter?"

The clerk was stunned for a while before he realized that the young master thought that the price of this piece of equipment was too low, so he quickly explained: "Young master, you misunderstood. Our store has always been the most reputable. We priced it at fifty gold coins because It is indeed only worth this price. You see, the main material used in this glove comes from the third-level Warcraft Ice Fox, so it can only be regarded as third-level equipment. The magic circle attached to it is only the first-level water mist spell, so this is The glove may look gorgeous, but it's all appearance."

"It's just an appearance? You have completely failed to understand the intention of the genius enchanter. The water mist technique can clean the magician's body and robe at any time, allowing the magician to maintain a refreshing spirit and elegant image. Its role is definitely not General attack and protective magic are comparable."

The clerk was also smart and immediately echoed with a smile: "Master, you are right. We have little knowledge and really do not understand the special effects of this equipment."

Joan waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I want this glove. I'm willing to pay two hundred gold coins."

The clerk immediately looked embarrassed and said, "I have to ask the shopkeeper for instructions on this. Our store always pays attention to reputation. Master, you are willing to give more, but I dare not make the decision to charge you more."

"Who said the extra money is for your store? If you price it at fifty gold coins, I'll charge you fifty. For the extra money, help me pass it on to the enchanter of this piece of equipment, and tell him that he will have such a genius idea again in the future. Enchanted equipment is the first to notify me."

"Just wait, I'm going to ask the shopkeeper now." The clerk ran downstairs without waiting for Qing to ask further questions. This was probably the strangest customer he had ever encountered since he was a shopping guide.

Arthur on the side saw the whole process in his eyes and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. But is this stupid? Arthur didn't take it seriously. Maybe Joan was just more innocent or sincere. He just gave the enchanted equipment the value he thought it should be.

At this time, the clerk who received him before came up and told Arthur that everything he wanted was ready. After roughly understanding the market for enchanted equipment, Arthur had no intention of shopping anymore, so he said hello to Joan and went downstairs.

The quantity Arthur wants this time is very large, and the "Twanging" weapons shop will send someone to deliver it to his door later.

  When Arthur and Moral came out of the armory empty-handed, it was completely dark.

"Where do you want to go soon? Let me show you the nightlife in the royal city?" Moral suggested with a smirk.

"Forget it, go back early, there are classes tomorrow morning." Arthur refused directly.

Moral did not expect Arthur to refuse so simply. He hesitated and said, "Okay, then let's go back. I know a shortcut..."
