[Price: 200000 gold coins.]
[Oklo’s Twin Angels (Statue): After activating the statue with fresh blood, you can summon two Lesser Angels (LV21-LV24) to fight for you.]
[Price: 200000 gold coins.]
[Ronan’s Cane: A cane used by Master Ronan when he travelled the world when he was young. It doesn’t have much magic power, but it has a unique memorial value.]
[Price: 100000 gold coins]
Perhaps he was blinded by too many zeros, or perhaps he was completely numb.
Matthew actually didn’t think that the first two props were that expensive.
However, the last one left him confused.
“How can an ordinary staff be sold for 100,000 gold? No matter how cheap Ronan was, he wouldn’t do such a thing, right? Could it be that there was something else special about this staff?”
Unfortunately, whether or not there was another mystery had nothing to do with Matthew.
With his current wealth, unless he could think of a way to kidnap Rheagar and ask for a ransom, it was impossible for him to gather 100,000 gold coins.
He left the row of magic display windows.
Matthew’s eyes burned with raging flames.
He couldn’t wait to earn money!
” At the very least, I have to get my hands on that Dragon Fire Talisman. With it, I don’t have to be afraid of the enemy’s Counterspell and buffs, and the enemy has to be afraid of my Counterspell. With this, let alone a Tier 4 Mage, I dare to fight a Tier 5 Mage!”
Matthew walked to the cashier with high spirits and said to the staff,
Give me three bottles of Green Growth Fluid.”
However, as he got closer, he realized that this staff member was actually the female mage he had met when he was waiting for the elevator.
She was still wearing thick black-rimmed glasses, but her shabby mage robe had been changed into the work clothes of the Cauldron House, making her look more youthful and bright.
“There’s no Green Growth Potion for sale in the mall. There’s only a higher-level ‘Quick Growth Potion’. Sir, you are… Eh, it’s you?”
The female mage obviously recognized Matthew.
She looked a little shy, but she still mustered her courage and said to Matthew,
“Hello, my name is Rosita. I didn’t have the chance to thank you for your reminder that day. At that time, I went to apply for a position here. I only found out afterwards that the supreme Lord 177 liked to joke around when we took the elevator. It was said that people who were induced to accelerate would be scared half to death.”
Matthew smiled and waved his hand.
“It’s just a small matter.
“Don’t call me Lord. Just call me Matthew. Uh, can you bring the ‘Quick Growth Potion’ over for me to take a look?
“I need about three bottles.”
Rosita ran away happily.
“No problem!”
A moment later.
She walked over to a large drawer.
Rosita opened a box in one of the drawers and took out a bottle of dark green potion, then handed it to Matthew.
Matthew took the potion and quietly glanced at the label in the drawer.
[Quick Growth Potion: Increases the growth speed of plants (Effect is similar to the spell: Quick Growth). ] [Price: 200 gold coins per bottle] He saw the price.
Matthew’s facial muscles twitched.
“Matthew, is this what you want?”
Rosita asked. Matthew nodded lightly.
“Do you want three bottles?”
Rosetta asked again.
Matthew blinked and said thoughtfully,
“No, two bottles are enough. I suddenly remembered that I have another bottle at home.”
Rosita did not suspect anything and quickly packed it up for Matthew.
“Here, a total of 380 gold coins,” she said.
“Is there a discount?”
Matthew asked in surprise.
Rosetta blushed and nodded. She whispered,
“I can use my employee card to give you a 5% discount. This is the price of our internal shopping. If I can be promoted to supervisor, I have a chance to get a 10% discount.”
“Thank you, Rosita.” Matthew was in a much better mood. “Where are you from?”
Rosita said embarrassedly,
Jewel Bay. I was originally a Level-3 apprentice in Lord Irwin’s Mage Tower, but Lord Irwin’s assistant thought that I was too stupid, so he chased me out. Fortunately, I successfully applied for the job that day, and Lord 177 gave me a job. Otherwise, I would have become a rogue Mage with no fixed residence.”
When she said the last sentence.
Her face was filled with lingering fear.
Jewel Bay.
That was Ronan’s base camp.
Matthew paid the money and put the potion in his luggage. Then, he said to Rosita,
I’m from Rolling Stone Town. If we have time next time, we can have a chat. I’m very curious about Jewel Bay.”
Rosita blushed again.
She was just about to tell Matthew that she only worked half a day every Thursday, five, six, and three days.
Unfortunately, Matthew had already left.
After leaving the Cauldron House, Matthew hurried home.
His schedule was very full that day.
At eight o’clock in the morning.
Matthew led Lara to a house in the commoner district.
Then, he knocked on the door.
The owner of the house was called Jin Li. She was a teacher of languages, humanities, and arts at Seaver Public School.
Jin Li was warm-hearted, responsible, and good at communicating with people.
Other than her 200 -pound weight, she had almost no shortcomings.
After knowing that Matthew’s purpose of visiting was to ask her to take some time out of class to tutor his friend, she was shocked.
Jin Li readily agreed and gave Matthew a 20% discount on the tuition fees.
Lara, who was originally confused, realized that Matthew was actually paying someone to teach her how to read and write. She was a little uneasy.
While Jin Li went to the toilet.
Lara protested softly,”
“I can read! Common language, underground common language, even if it’s the language of the duergar, I know it too…A little.”
Matthew smiled and said to her,
“The president of the Oak Chamber of Commerce needs to know more than a little.
“Jin Li is a very good person. I hope you can learn more about human society from her. This is very important to me.” Lara wanted to resist.
However, after hearing Matthew’s words.
She was silent for a while before she said firmly,
“I understand.”
After handing Lara over to Jinli.
Matthew rushed to the liege’s residence to clock in for work.
Half a day later.
He and Rhaegar were idling in two offices.
Zeller still did not appear.
However, since Rheagar didn’t explain it explicitly, it shouldn’t be a big deal.
Matthew did not ask.
After having lunch at the lord’s manor.
Matthew found an excuse to slip away and ran all the way to the oak forest to start planting trees.
Before the seeds were planted.
He tested the effects of the Quick Growth Potion that he had bought at a high price with different proportions of water and roughly found the best cost-performance ratio.
Only then did he officially start working.
With the help of the zombies, planting the trees did not take much time. The main thing was that watching after the event took up more energy.
On this day, when the sky turned dark.
Matthew successfully planted 24 oak trees further north.
This number was basically the maximum he could achieve without over-drafting his domain.
If there were any more, not only would the saplings not be able to keep up, but the life essence in the soil would also deteriorate further. Matthew wanted to get as many enhancement points as possible.
But the temperance domain warned him.
There was a limit to everything.
At least, he planned to do so before he obtained a large number of high-quality oak seeds.
Late at night.
After a quick dinner and a hot bath, Matthew poured himself a cup of strong coffee.
Then, he began the night by studying spells.
Due to the rapid levelling speed, his spell foundation was not solid, and he needed to put in more effort than others to catch up.
After entering the third rank.
The spells he could learn were several times more than before.
Matthew spent a lot of effort to come up with a new list of spells and a calendar.
However, the spell at the top of the list wasn’t in the domain of the undead. It was a divine skill that was in the general domain and closer to the domain of transformation.
Malicious Shapeshifting.
The reason why Matthew listed it as the highest spell was simple.
This was because this was a spell that Wizard Ronan strongly recommended. It was a must-learn spell after reaching Tier 3.
It was said that the difficulty was very high.
Matthew had been curious about it for a long time. Now that he had the opportunity to get started, he naturally chose to start studying it.
However, before he officially started learning Malicious Shapeshifting…
Matthew had to first determine his own ” Malicious Transformation Target.”
Generally speaking, there were three options here, which also represented the different difficulties.
-
- a frog (or toad)
-
- wild boar
Matthew listed the names of the three animals on the paper and fell into deep thought.
