Mage Veigar

Chapter 197: Third Level Magic
Imperial capital commercial district.

This is an area located in the eastern part of the Immortal City, second only to the central administrative district in terms of prosperity.

The Imperial Capital Professionals Guild is located in the bustling commercial district.

The purpose of Veigar's trip was to go to the Professional Guild to see if he could buy some discounted third-level shadow magic. After all, he only had 10,000 gold coins on him, so it was almost unrealistic to pay the full amount.

It doesn’t matter if you really can’t buy it.

Just find out the price first, and then slowly save up the gold coins. If it really doesn't work, Vega will not forget the big money sponsor, Silis. Based on the partnership, I believe it shouldn't be difficult to borrow some gold coins.

Only until this time.

Vega sincerely hoped that Silis would quickly take control of the entire Rodney Chamber of Commerce. If he relied solely on his own ability to make money, it would take him a long time to buy a shadow magic.

Arrived at the gate of the Professionals' Union.

Vega discovered that the Professional Guild in the Imperial Capital was a whole lot bigger than the Professional Guild in Kareni, and compared to the deserted Professional Guild in Kareni, the Professional Guild in the Imperial Capital was obviously a lot more lively.

Army, Air Force, Navy, Law Enforcement, Chamber of Commerce...

Professionals and magicians wearing all kinds of uniforms came in and out. Just standing at the gate, Vega felt like he was watching a large-scale uniform fashion show.

Enter the Professionals Guild.

There was already a long queue at each window on the first floor of the union, and the window for officers was even busier than the civilian window.

Look to the right again.

Vega discovered the obvious difference between the Imperial Capital Professionals Guild and the Kareni Professionals Guild.

That is, in the Professional Guild of the Imperial Capital, the Mage Area is not hidden underground, but is directly placed on the right side of the hall. There does not seem to be a teleportation array for the Mage Area like the one in Kalini.

"Perhaps Kalini's teleportation array is another relic from ancient times."

Vega no longer paid attention to these trivial matters. He went straight upstairs because all the prop shops were located on the second floor of the union.

"Rodney's Prop Shop?"

"Alban prop shop?"

As soon as he went up to the second floor, Vega found two familiar names. Just from the names, he could tell that these two prop stores must be opened by the Rodney Chamber of Commerce and the Alban Chamber of Commerce.

Without hesitation.

Vega walked straight towards Rodney's Prop Shop. In his subconscious, Rodney's business family would all be his things in the future, so it would be better to give himself a good deal than to give others a good deal.

"Welcome to Rodney's Prop Shop."

A female waiter wearing a Chamber of Commerce uniform came over immediately and said, "Excuse me, sir, how can I help you?"

"I need a third-level shadow magic."

Hearing Veigar's words, the waitress' eyes lit up, and she said kindly, "Sir, please follow me to the Mage VIP Area. Our store has a total of 17 shadow magics, of which there are still 2 third-level shadow magics left."

Come to the Mage VIP area.

After waiting for about three minutes, the waiter came in with two sealed rune pages: "Sir, these are two third-level shadow magics collected by our store, namely 'Trickery Style·Shadow Transformation' and 'Shadow Style·Shadow Explosion'."

"Can you introduce each of them?"

"As it should be."

The waiter picked up the first rune page and introduced: "Shadow Style Shadow Explosion is one of the three-level advanced magics of the Shadow Mage. After you master the Shadow Style, you can remotely control the shadow explosion. The power is roughly equivalent to the second-level magic Flame Explosion of the Fire Elemental Mage, but the disadvantage is that it takes 2 seconds to guide, and the shadow will be motionless during the guidance period."

Human bomb?

The first impression Vega had of this magic was that of a human bomb.

However, the advantage is that the human body is replaced by a shadow, which is generally more difficult to defend against than the flame explosion, and it is also a relatively rare high-powered attack magic. This is a good choice for Vega who lacks group attacks. Vega did not make a decision immediately and continued to listen.

"The second one is the trick style - Shadow Transformation."

The waiter picked up the second rune page and said, "Shadow Transformation is different from Shadow Explosion. Although it is an advanced magic of the Trickery style, it does not require the mastery of the basic magic Trickery style to learn it directly. Moreover, it is a rare passive magic."

"Passive magic?"

This was the first time Vega had heard of this type of magic.

The waiter nodded and explained, "As the name suggests, passive magic refers to magic that does not require the mage to actively release it. The effect of this trick, Shadow Transformation, is that when a fatal attack is received, the body will become ethereal, immune to fatal damage. Each release consumes 1/5 of the mental power and 1/5 of the magic power when it is in full state."

We must master this magic!

After listening to the introduction, although Vega remained calm on the surface, he was extremely excited in his heart.

Immune to one fatal injury!
As long as he has this magic, he won't have to worry too much about being assassinated by unknown enemies. Moreover, when in full state, this magic can help him resist 5 fatal attacks, which is really important for Veigar who is afraid of death.

What, is it wrong to be afraid of death?
Veigar has never denied how much he fears death.

Some people choose to escape because they are afraid of death, while others choose to fight and risk their lives because they are afraid of death.

Although the former can die later, he cannot escape death in the end. The latter will naturally die first if his resistance fails, but if his resistance succeeds, he will live longer than anyone else.

Vega considers himself the latter.

It is precisely because of the extreme fear of death that he fights with the determination to die.

Therefore, Vega has never denied that he is afraid of death. He even believes that he is no less afraid of death than anyone else.

"I want to buy the magic of Trickery: Shadow Transformation."

Vega said this in a determined tone, but the waiter's next words ruthlessly shattered Vega's fantasy -

"The price of Trickery Shadow is 30000 gold coins."

"Why is it nearly twice as powerful as other magic?"

"Because passive magic is classified as rare magic."

"Can I get a loan to buy it? I'm a student in the elite department of the Central Military Academy."

Vega's tone softened. He only had 10,000 gold coins in his pocket. Even if he took out a loan, it would probably only be enough to buy a spell like Shadow Explosion. He just asked casually with the idea of ​​trying his luck.

"Please wait a moment. I will check for you."

The waiter flipped through a thick list of professions, and two minutes later he said, "With your status, you can only borrow 10,000 gold coins. You need to pay another 20,000 gold coins to purchase this magic."

"I don't have enough gold coins at the moment, can you reserve some for me?"

"Sorry, we don't have this service."

Veigar glanced at the rune page with reluctance. He knew that in a place like the imperial capital, rare magic like this would be bought by other people as soon as it left the store, and it would be almost impossible for him to find the same magic at that time.

Because the more advanced the magic, the more unique it is.

Just when Vega was at a loss as to whether to leave or stay, he suddenly saw the emblem of the Rodney Chamber of Commerce on the packaging box, so he immediately said to the waiter: "I am an old acquaintance of Miss Silis of your Chamber of Commerce. Please help me contact her."

The waiter glanced at Vega suspiciously.

Although he didn't quite believe what Vega said, he still said, "Please wait a moment. I will ask the store manager to contact Miss Celis Rodney."

But a few hours later.

The one who hurried over was not Celis, but the butler Falk Rodney.
