Chapter 242 Substitute Spirit Tablet

That's right, the ability of the substitute spirit tablet is to help the user block a fatal blow. As for how powerful the fatal blow can be blocked, it depends entirely on the method and materials used to make the substitute spirit tablet, as well as the skill level of the alchemist who made it!

Legend has it that the method for crafting the Substitute Spirit Tablet, like the methods for crafting many other enchanted items, disappeared into the annals of history with the fall of the Byzantine Empire. Connor was quite surprised to see the Substitute Spirit Tablet in Mr. Mustafa's hands, but upon reflection, he felt that while it was unexpected, it also seemed to make sense.

According to the information Reyes gave him, Connor learned that many Byzantine-era relics have been unearthed in recent years, and many long-lost alchemy methods have reappeared. Many wizards, including Reyes, are researching and trying to restore magical Byzantine-era enchanted items such as the Substitute Spirit Tablet.

Perhaps a master alchemist successfully discovered the method for crafting the Substitute Spirit Tokens, creating some that Mustafa acquired. Or perhaps Mr. Mustafa discovered a Byzantine ruin and found the Tokens within. Or perhaps Mr. Mustafa himself simply crafted the Tokens. In short, anything is possible. Thinking this, Connor couldn't help but glance deeply at Mr. Mustafa, who sat in the main seat of the hall, his expression indifferent. His identity remained a mystery. Connor had asked Margaret, but even the all-knowing Margaret had no idea of ​​his origins.

Connor felt that the substitute spirit tablet, worth five thousand gold pounds, wouldn't be very effective. Otherwise, Mr. Mustafa wouldn't have put it up for sale so easily. Connor's eyes flickered. If he saw the whereabouts of the bearded old man that Mr. Mustafa was looking for, he might as well tell Mr. Mustafa and exchange the substitute spirit tablet for it to study properly and see if he could figure out how to make the substitute spirit tablet!

As Connor continued to ponder whether he could obtain the substitute spirit tablet from Mr. Mustafa through other means, the wizards' transaction in the hall continued, and a voice caught Connor's attention.

"I have a level one enchanted item here, the Spirit-Breaking Blade. Take a look and see if anyone needs it!" As the gathering began, a somewhat thin young man wearing an ordinary black iron mask stood up. His voice sounded a bit childish, so he seemed to be quite young.

After glancing at the person who wanted to make the deal, Connor then scrutinized the demonized item, the Spirit-Breaking Blade, that the person was displaying. The Spirit-Breaking Blade was a very basic demonized item with simple spell-breaking abilities, but it had no other uses; it was just a bit stronger than ordinary cold weapons.

After carefully examining the Spirit-Breaking Blade, Connor looked at the thin young man wearing a black iron mask with a look of surprise in his eyes. In his experience, this Spirit-Breaking Blade was just barely up to standard and could only be considered a demonized item. However, what surprised Connor was that this Spirit-Breaking Blade was full of fire!

The so-called "fire aura" is the unique aura that condenses on a demonized item after it has been refined in an alchemist's furnace. It is invisible to outsiders, but can only be sensed by alchemists who have been refining demonized items for many years. This aura is called "fire aura" by alchemists. The duration of the fire aura varies from item to item, but except for some special demonized items, the fire aura of ordinary demonized items usually lasts for three to seven days.

According to Connor's observation, the Spirit-Breaking Blade being sold at this time had a very strong fire aura, indicating that it must have been forged within the last three days. Thinking of this, Connor couldn't help but take another deep look at the thin young man selling the Spirit-Breaking Blade!

"What do you want to exchange it for?" Perhaps everyone knew that this broken spirit blade was too ordinary, and the hall fell silent. Just as the thin young man was feeling uneasy, a woman sitting in the corner wearing a green cloak asked softly:

"Cash! Only... one hundred gold pounds!" The thin young man's youthful voice exclaimed with delight upon hearing someone ask the price. Clearly, the woman in the green cloak's inquiry made the thin young man very happy. He hesitated for a moment before quoting one hundred gold pounds!

Upon hearing the price quoted by the thin young man, Connor, who was sitting in the other corner, shook his head slightly. This thin young man was obviously a novice. Even if the enchanted item in his hand was a second-level enchanted item, it was still a level one enchanted item, and its market price was at least two hundred gold pounds.

Sure enough, upon hearing the price quoted by the thin young man, the eyes of several people in the hall lit up immediately. However, due to the rules of the Menxing Club, none of them dared to act rashly. Seeing this, the woman in the green cloak who had asked the price first chuckled and took out ten ten-pound notes, throwing them to the thin young man.

The thin young man seemed extremely cautious, carefully examining each banknote the woman in the green cloak tossed him before reluctantly handing over the Spirit-Breaking Blade. After seeing the woman put the blade into her spatial ring, he couldn't help but say, "Please take good care of it, ma'am. When I have the money, I'll definitely buy it back at a high price!"

The woman in the green cloak was genuinely taken aback by the thin young man's words, but she wasn't angry. She smiled and replied, "Sure, but I'll charge three times the current price!"

The thin young man nodded heavily behind his black iron mask, indicating that he understood. Then, he turned and bowed deeply to Mr. Mustafa, saying, "Sir, I wish to leave early!"

Mr. Mustafa did not make things difficult for the thin young man's request. He nodded slightly, and a light screen immediately appeared on the wall of the hall. The thin young man, carrying the one hundred gold pounds he had just earned from selling the Spirit-Breaking Blade, stepped into the light screen without hesitation or looking back.

As the thin young man left, the light screen slowly disappeared. Sensing the young man's departure, Connor, sitting in the corner of the hall, revealed a playful smile.

The Spirit-Breaking Blade was crudely crafted, with many details completely unfinished. It was clearly made by a beginner. Coupled with the intense heat emanating from it, Connor was convinced it was something forged by a novice who had just begun studying alchemy…
