Mage Veigar

Chapter 226 Purchase of Combat Skills
One silver coin for each mid- to high-level combat skill rune page?
This price is truly a bargain. Compared with those low-level combat skills and low-level magic that cost tens of thousands, it couldn't be more affordable. But even at this price, no one would buy it.

Because it takes 20 years or even longer to practice a mid-level combat skill.

As for high-level combat skills, they require professionals above the star level to practice. Unfortunately, there is not a single professional of that level in the entire continent, and it takes at least 50 years to practice a high-level combat skill.

50 years?
How many 50 years can we have in our life? If we are lucky, we can have two, but if we are unlucky, we will die in one more. Moreover, high-level combat skills are the same as mid- and low-level combat skills. We cannot practice other combat skills during the training period.

Therefore, it is more cost-effective to practice dozens of low-level combat skills than to practice any mid- to high-level combat skills.

What puzzled Vega was why the professionals in ancient times created so many mid- and high-level combat skills. Through the professional encyclopedia in the library, Vega learned that the types of low-level combat skills only accounted for a pitiful 20% of the entire combat skill system, and the remaining 80% were mid- and high-level combat skills.

Especially the description of high-level combat skills like swords cutting green mountains and knives stopping flowing water, are they true?
Veigar shook his head. The ancient civilization had been broken, and at this stage, he could only interpret sporadic fragments of the time through some ancient magic relics. It was completely meaningless to pursue it too much, so he picked up two rune pages of intermediate combat skills.

"The power of a giant beast."

"Hurricane speed."

Vega roughly understood the meaning of the rune page. The power of the behemoth is to stimulate the magic power in the body to maximize one's strength. Although he can't reach the level of demolishing a Gundam with bare hands after learning it, it should not be a problem to break the city gate with one sword.

As for hurricane speed?
As the name suggests, this is to increase one's speed to the maximum. Although it cannot exceed the speed of light, it is too easy to turn around and dodge bullets.

Pick up and put down.

Although these two combat skills are very attractive, Vega, who has not been promoted to a lower-level professional, can only sigh in despair. His desire to be promoted is about to reach a critical point.

"Sir, I guarantee that the things I have here are absolutely authentic."

The stall owner saw Veigar preparing to leave and quickly said, "This is a combat rune page that was unearthed half a year ago. It is definitely of great collection value. It is fate that we meet. I am having a huge sale today. If you buy one, I will give you another one. How about that?"

"You said these fighting skills are for collection?"

"Are people buying them for collection? Or are they buying them for cultivation?"

Seeing his boss's matter-of-fact expression, Vega's throat moved, and he was speechless.

Powerful combat skills used to kill people have actually become collectibles. This is like nuclear bombs can only be used for viewing, and firearms can only be used for entertainment and competition. Is this a blessing of the times, or a sorrow for professionals?

Veigar took out a silver coin and finally bought the two rune pages.

Although he is unable to make his intermediate combat skills shine again now, one day, he will make his enemies feel the fear of being dominated by ancient professionals again on the battlefield.

The Shadow Mage's strange magic combined with the ancient professional's terrifying buff.

With these bits and pieces, Vega was able to get a glimpse of how powerful personal martial arts were in ancient times.

"Let's go."

Vega said something to Celis, and then left the free trade zone.

Next, Vega brought Silis to the prop shop, trying to buy the third-level magic "Shadow Explosion" that the clerk introduced last time.

Unfortunately, Shadow Blast had already been bought, and only some useless magic remained. Vega finally paid off the loan and saved the remaining gold coins, planning to buy more practical magic next time. "Thank you for accompanying me. If you have nothing else, I'll go back first."

After leaving the Professional Guild, Vega was not very excited because he did not buy the awakening potion and did not see the magic that satisfied him. He said goodbye to Celis and prepared to return to school, but was stopped by Celis.

"You are really a little brat. You really don't understand romance."

Qi Lisi said angrily, "I've been hanging out with you for a long time, but you didn't even treat me to a meal, and you haven't done what you promised to do to personally bribe the senior management for me. You won't be able to find a wife even if you grow up."

"Sorry, I forgot."

Vega then remembered that he had promised Silis to bribe the top management before coming to the Professional Guild.

So he put away his depressed mood and said, "As for my lifelong affairs, you don't need to worry about it, beautiful Miss Celis. I already have a fiancée."

"Hmph, don't get me wrong, we are just partners."

Although Qi Lisi herself didn't understand what was going on, her anger instantly disappeared when she heard these words.

"Yes, yes, yes. Then may I have the honor to invite the beautiful Miss Celis to have lunch with me?"

Vega stretched out his hand as an invitation, motioning for Celis to put it on his hand, but because of his childish appearance, he not only lacked the elegance of an adult, but also looked a bit funny.

Qi Lisi moved her right hand slightly but did not raise it.

She told Vega that although she couldn't be touched by others, she could actively touch others. But the fact was that the former was absolutely not allowed, while she could still endure the latter. So no matter whether she was actively or passively touched, she would feel disgusted and terrified.

Take a deep breath.

Silis looked at Vega, and tried hard to see the petite figure in front of her as the puppy that was killed by her father in front of her when she was a child. She put her hand on Vega's hand with a happy heart. The whole process took about a minute.

Although Vega still had some doubts, he did not delve into it further.

In the next hour, he had lunch with Silis. Of course, Vega only made the invitation, but it was Silis who paid the bill in the end, which made Vega feel like a gigolo.

After lunch.

As agreed, Vega followed Silis to a private room in a restaurant, where he was scheduled to meet with the senior manager.

But just as he reached the door, a discordant voice came from the private room -

"Where's Miss Celis? Why hasn't she come yet?"

Along with the discordant voices, there was also the sound of things being thrown. "Let me tell you, I pushed aside a lot of things and came here to talk because of her sincerity, but what do you mean by leaving me here for hours? Is this your sincerity?"

The middle-aged male voice kept roaring: "Humph, I, Ather, will take note of this matter. You ladies will take care of yourself."

boom!
With a loud bang, the door opened from the inside, and Esther was right in front of Vega and Celis.
