I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?
Chapter 198 Chapter 198 The First Business
Chapter 198 198. The First Business
In the sky, there was a fat mouse with khaki fur flying a craft that looked like an airship.
The hair on its body fluttered in the wind, and it actually looked very elegant. Even its chubby body didn't seem so bloated anymore, and it had a kind of chic feeling.
"This……"
"It's the thieving rat."
The two elves exchanged glances.
In the elves' understanding, mice are creatures that should live underground, but they actually saw mice flying in the sky...
Or flying in the sky in a flying magic device.
Even they couldn't help but be surprised.
"What a magical little creature."
Elf Ellie asked anxiously: "Can I take it home?"
"By the way, can I buy its airship?"
Nina blinked.
She remembered what Cloya had taught them: for some wealthy people, price was not an obstacle. The only obstacle was whether this kind of thing was flooding the market.
This is why rare and precious pieces are so expensive.
In fact, she was deeply touched by these words. When she was in the circus, the dignitaries all behaved in this way. They would even spend a lot of money for a deformed monster - gold coins of course.
Magic crystals are not something a small country lord can just throw away.
So she showed a bit of embarrassment and said, "My dear guests, this earth-stealing rat is the only rat in our store that can drive a living weapon."
"The only one?"
"Living weapon?"
Ellie and Maine noticed different points respectively, and they looked at each other, with an eager look in their eyes.
But before they could say anything, Nina suddenly looked to the side and said with a smile, "Welcome, Grand Mage Celeste."
The name Celeste was familiar to them.
Although the human race's great wizard still cannot affect the elves, level six is not low in this world where the upper limit is level twelve.
What's more, this wizard is very famous. It is said that he has some connections with the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. When he is strong enough, he can leave the continent and travel into the star realm at any time.
They turned their heads and looked in the direction Nina was looking, and sure enough, they saw the great wizard wearing a light blue robe and holding a staff in her hand.
There were still fluctuations of magic power on the wizard's body that had not yet dissipated, as violent as a downpour, and it was obvious that he had just been through a fierce battle.
"Hello, Ms. Celeste."
"Hello."
After the two elves greeted the archmage, the latter looked at Nina and asked with interest: "Do you recognize me?"
Nina nodded respectfully: "The Lord has specifically instructed us."
"Oh? He recognized me?"
This surprised Celeste even more.
As a high-level wizard, her appearance and looks are actually not well-known in the mainland, and there are no such things as cameras in this world.
Even high-level wizards would deliberately hide their appearance, because there were so many evil wizards and enemies - some who were good at making golems would even use the appearance and figure of their enemies to make golems, and then do some unspeakable things every day.
This is especially common among female mages. Celeste has encountered such disgusting enemies before, so she cares a lot about this.
"Our Lord asked us to memorize your emblem," Nina explained.
Celeste suddenly realized and looked down at the "Moon Under the Light" emblem on her chest.
It should be that his apprentice was remembered by Cloya when he went to Hanjiao Island.
To be honest, she felt quite happy.
Maybe she doesn't care much about ordinary people, but as for Croa, both his grandfather and himself are worthy of Celeste's respect.
So she thought she should help the younger generation solve some minor problems, and said to the elf next to her: "This is the shop of one of my younger generations."
Just this one sentence is enough.
The two elves curled their lips helplessly. They didn't intend to do anything. They knew that anyone who opened a store in the Vatican's frontline base must have some skills.
In fact, part of the reputation of the human race was earned by the Vatican's terrifying expeditionary force.
Any normal person would not go against the Holy See like this. Those lunatics couldn't be defeated so they really called out to God. The key is that they could really call them down!
Seeing this, Nina quickly invited, "Please follow me, let's talk in a quiet place."
As he spoke, he led a few people to a quiet room with extremely elegant decoration, which made the two elves feel somewhat familiar - calming incense was burning in it, and the decoration of the surrounding walls was mainly connected by patterns of flowers, vines and branches, forming a large elegant and exquisite decoration.
These elegant decorations also contain warm white light that can help people enter a meditative state more quickly.
Ellie, the elf of the Orpheus family, was even more certain that the owner of the shop here must be related to her own family, and looking at the patterns... it seemed that they were designed by Beoril, a councillor of the Great Wisdom Palace who had long disappeared.
In the family inheritance, Ellie had seen the plant magic circle designed by this ancestor of the Great Wisdom Palace and the plane environment transformation project he presided over.
Even now, the classics he left behind are studied and practiced over and over again by the family, and have really created many miracles.
It is said that... his inheritance comes from the Elf Elemental King, the one favored by God who presided over the construction of the Fountain of Life Natural Magic Array.
She observed the place silently, and decided to ask Nina quietly when there was no one around. If it was really a member and heir of the Orpheus family, that would be great!
Of course, now we still need to relax.
Miss Elf was holding a milk tea cup made from the coconut shell of a pure white sea coconut. She was sipping the milk tea with her cheeks puffed out with a happy expression, and from time to time she was chewing some "pearls" made of thick sweet potatoes and coconut fruit made from real coconut meat.
Obviously enjoying it, like a big hamster.
Beside her, Celeste also took a sip of the milk tea and said in amazement, "The ratio of the taste to the magic power is much better than in the capital."
She had drunk the milk tea that her apprentice had sent to her through the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. Even though she was underground surrounded by cultists and the surrounding space was blocked, she still drank the fragrant and delicious milk tea.
As a fourth-level member of the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce, she certainly enjoys such treatment. If she is really in danger, she can even use the passage of the Chamber of Commerce to escape directly.
But the milk tea at that time was really not as good as the one here.
"I'm going to stay here for at least a few more years. It would be a good idea to buy some soothing lily of the valley here. The environment here is also nice..."
She rolled her eyes, who had very high requirements for food, and without waiting for Nina to answer, she said directly: "How do you rent the soothing lily of the valley here? I'll rent one.
And the mouse we saw just now..."
Before she could finish her words, the elf Ellie couldn't help but interrupt: "Lady Celeste, you can't be with us young people... uh."
She couldn't continue speaking halfway through and fell silent.
Because according to the rules of the Orpheus family and the concentration of her blood, she was already three hundred years old when she was allowed to leave her ancestral land and enter the main plane for training.
Although she was only a teenager according to the elves' concept of time, from the perspective of humans, she was old enough to be Celeste's great-grandmother.
See, Celeste looked at her with a half-smile.
The latter's face immediately turned red.
Fortunately, there was a companion nearby. Mayne said, "Lady Celeste, please give this one to us. The price we offer is absolutely suitable."
"OK then."
After hearing what Celeste said, Nina, who had been observing the situation, said quickly, "Its price is 3,000 first-level magic crystals, and comes with its favorite soil and the living weapon. It can drive the living spaceship, help with housework, and know how to cook more than a hundred kinds of food, including elf dishes...
But every once in a while it has to come back to our shop for inspection and maintenance, and we have to sign a contract provided by the Temple of Order, and if it dies, we have to pay a hundred times the amount."
After a pause, she continued, "The monthly rental fee for Anshen Linglan is three hundred magic crystals. We will provide you with a quiet room like this one, milk tea, and some small cakes we make for free every day.
The quiet room will also provide a variety of decorations for you to choose from, absolutely according to your requirements.
You can't take the lily of the valley with you, but you can buy more decorations for it from us, and if you're willing to display it, it will be engraved with your coat of arms and fly in the sky."
This is truly unheard of.
You must know that once a battle pet is sold, it becomes the private property of the buyer, and it is their freedom to kill or abandon it.
And yet you guys are asking us to protect its life?
To be honest, it is very unreasonable and strange, but sometimes unreasonable things can make people imagine and daydream more - why do they dare to do this?
Are you really confident about the Warcraft you sell?
If it were someone else here, they might raise objections, but there were two elves here.
The elves originally viewed the Warcraft as partners and comrades-in-arms, and some even viewed them as relatives and lovers.
So they did not raise any objections, but just said that they wanted to first see the performance of the earth-thieving rat and what the living weapon looked like.
As for the soothing lily of the valley, it was pitifully overshadowed by the thieving earth rat.
Of course, Nina immediately called for the earth-thieving rat and the living weapon.
When the earth-thief came over, he was already wearing a strange-looking but very neat suit - it was a suit that Cloa had specially made for him.
It bowed to the two elves and a great wizard, then began its performance.
It manipulated the soft and clean magic mud like a human hand and began to cook and prepare dishes quickly.
Whether it is the fire used for cooking or the airflow that directs away all the smoke, they are all created by the small magic device on its body.
Its movements are extremely quick, neat and skillful, and it cooks very quickly, just like a master who has been immersed in this art for many years.
It only took half an hour to serve the three dishes and a soup under the astonished gazes of the three guests.
I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but these dishes all have obvious red peppers, which do look appetizing, but also have a strong taste.
After a brief hesitation, the three guests tasted the dishes made by the earth-thieving rat - cooking as a form of cooking is quite rare at the bottom of this world.
Although senior management also have it, because there is not enough base for research and development, the dishes they produce are just barely edible. Generally speaking, they are mostly stews and boiled dishes.
This is because there are not enough containers that can be heated quickly, and iron ore is still too rare for civilians.
After discovering this, Cloya directly added various tableware to daily necessities and allowed the residents of Hanjiao Island to study them on their own.
It's quite rare to see so many kinds of stir-fried dishes.
They tasted shredded pork with fish flavor, cumin lamb, spicy fried chicken skin and the only dish, pine nut and corn sweet soup, one after another, and suddenly felt that the dishes they had eaten before were wasted.
Especially the two elves.
They used to eat light and small foods. When had they ever eaten something so oily and spicy?
Since one is a bard and a magician, and the other is an elven magic warrior, there is no need to worry about any problems with their poor stomachs and mouths, but to enjoy these delicacies happily.
It can be said that these flavors hit their hearts at once.
Celeste narrowed her eyes slightly as well.
She really can't cook, and even her daily meals are all from a big pot. She can't bring along more than ten or twenty cooks, so she has had a pretty bad time eating recently.
After she swallowed a piece of mutton in her mouth, she took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth elegantly, saying, "I'll buy this rat. We can sign the contract now."
After saying that, she directly took out a crystal card engraved with the emblem of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. Whoever got this thing could withdraw three thousand magic crystals from the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.
The two elves were still eating very gracefully and slowly, and were stunned when they heard this.
"Hey, Ms. Celeste, we were here first!"
Ai Li said angrily: "Can't you be more humble to the younger generation? I'm only level three!"
Celeste glanced at her, seeming to think that it was a bit too much for her to snatch it.
Fortunately, Nina spoke up in time: "We have other earth-stealing rats here, but it's the only one that can operate living weapons."
Only then did they finally remember the aircraft placed aside and looked over there, only to find that the aircraft had turned into a silver puppy that was soundly sleeping.
Living weapon, does it mean that this is a Warcraft?
However, the mental strength of the three people was not bad, and they did not sense any breath of life from the puppy at all. Instead, there were veins of magic power circulating like a golem.
In other words, this is a golem, a golem that can transform!
If what happened just now was the convenience of life, then now it is the curiosity of the mages and researchers that is at work.
The three of them stood up together and fiddled with the silver puppy, as if they were trying to sense its magical structure, which was of course only its external magical structure.
However, Croa designed it himself and used the magic pattern of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce and his eternal magic power as the lock of the magic circuit. Even a legendary wizard might not be able to crack it.
Let alone them.
Even the external magical structure could not be checked, and there was no gain.
The puppy seemed to be a little annoyed by being touched, and it turned into a silver sword and let out a low growl, as if threatening the three people not to come forward.
Seeing this, the earthworm quickly jumped to the side of its companion, stroked it with its little hands, and made a "chi chi" sound for a while before it finally calmed it down.
"What a magical thing!"
"It actually has emotions?"
"How strong is this weapon?"
The three of them expressed different emotions.
Nina continued to maintain her businesslike smile and demonstrated its capabilities to the three people in detail - common steel and wood were easily cut through, even with the addition of magical protection.
In terms of sharpness alone, it even exceeds the standard weapons issued by the Holy See. The most important thing is that it is intelligent, can be used as a pet, and can even fly!
They finally understood why this thing was so expensive.
Among them, Celeste felt particularly disappointed. If she had known earlier, she would have taken it directly regardless of her identity. She was really interested in this magical creation!
……
In the end, Ellie and Maine together captured the earthworm and the silver puppy, and then, with Nina's sales pitch, they bought a series of gadgets such as a rat's nest made of seabed mud and identity plates.
Even the food is taken from here.
Although these gadgets were exquisitely crafted and made of top-grade materials, their cost was only a few dozen magic crystals at most, but they were sold for two hundred magic crystals.
What's even more outrageous is that Ellie and Maine kept asking if there were better materials. They even planned to customize it with natural jade collected from the Emerald Forest.
What made Nina feel even more outrageous was that Cloya had anticipated these things and told them early on that he could accept custom-made materials.
By the time the two elves left satisfied, they had spent a full five thousand magic crystals here.
Three thousand of the money was used to purchase earthworms and live weapons, and the other two thousand was for miscellaneous pet supplies and processing fees for natural jade.
You should know that the total value of the raw materials of these things will never exceed one thousand magic crystals, and it has increased fivefold.
Not to mention Nina, even Kloya who had been observing this place was a little amazed. This thing really makes money.
However, whether the elves are just rich and dare to spend like this or can always maintain this level still depends on subsequent developments.
Nina watched the two elves leave and was just about to go back into the house when she suddenly saw a large group of people walking towards her.
And looking at their attire, they were dressed like paladins in neat silver armor. A rough count showed that there were more than twenty of them!
Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. I'm busy these two days and I'm sorry that the update time is unstable...
