Section 69: Billeg Force Field Swamp
Lance knows very little about the spell of Death Staring.
The only thing he knew was that the child gave him this spell with kindness.
"He should be thanking me for saving the mother and son. What an interesting child." The scene in the terrestrial slowly emerged in Lance's mind.
Monica's child is an experimental subject of the Flower Scorpion Society's research on immortality witchcraft, and is born to be unique. If Lance had not realized that the other party's soul was still pure during the brief spiritual exchange, he even suspected that the child was a time traveler like him.
The black cross needle on his forehead was the magic rune of death staring.
Unlike the spell runes that Lance learned himself stored in his brain, the spell runes that the child gave to Lance had existed in his eyebrows, and the death gaze consumed not magic but mental power.
"This is an attack on the enemy's souls. The souls of weaker animals, such as the moth just now, will be directly shaken off by the attack of death gaze; and ordinary people with slightly larger soul strength can also shake them into idiots if I give my all. As for the wizards, most of them have good mental power. The current death gaze is unlikely to directly cause damage to them, but it can have a certain effect of interfering with spell casting."
Lance thought secretly and added information about this spell to the character card of the main chip.
Death staring and magic shocking gave Lance a good ability to interfere with spell casting. If ordinary wizards want to deal with him, they will encounter great obstacles.
In terms of simple spell strength, the two auxiliary spell attack strengths are insufficient. However, they can still have a good effect in actual combat. It can be seen that spells cannot be judged by their spell strength alone.
As long as a spell that can play a role under flexibly, it is a good spell.
...
In the next few days, Lance walked back and forth in the trade zone of the City of Rotten. To his disappointment, even on the counters of major chambers of commerce, he did not see the second-level witchcraft learning scroll. After he determined this, he gave up the idea.
A few days passed quickly, and Lance determined the various collateral effects of the death gaze through repeated experiments. The black cross needle not only gave him a way to directly attack the enemy's soul, but also gave him a small spell to see the strength of the target soul clearly.
He walked on the street, with the black needles on his eyebrows looming, and a faint mist appeared in his eyes.
In an instant, all the people walking back and forth on the street seemed to have their clothes and bodies stripped away, leaving only snowflake-shaped souls churning up and down in their respective brain areas.
The human soul is a ball of mist that exists in the brain. Only after it is transformed into dead creatures such as lichs, will this ball of mist be ignited and turned into soul fire.
Some people have bright and bright colors in their soul fog, which means that their soul strength is strong, and they must be a wizard with great mental power; some people have dim colors in their soul fog, and even a little thin. This means that their souls are about to be exhausted, and they are mostly mortal old men who are about to be buried.
Lance walked along the way and felt a little moved. The accompanying skill of Death Gaze is also a very practical spell.
He turned off the spell effect, walked a while further, and then came to the auction house of the Silver Star Chamber of Commerce.
Today is Saturday night. At the strong invitation of the Transformer, Lance also came to the auction tonight to join in the fun. After all, his powerful magic potion will also be auctioned tonight.
Lance originally wanted to bring Lan with him today, but when he came to the next room, he found that his new maid was not in the room.
This made him a little curious. But for Lance, he was not worried that she would run away secretly. After all, she had lost her divine power now. In places like the Rotten City, it would be difficult for her to survive without dependent on herself.
"I hope she won't do anything stupid..."
He shook his head in his heart. As early as when she suggested that Lance go to Kurosawa, he had some speculations, but he didn't take it to heart.
...
The auction of the Silver Star Chamber of Commerce is not large in scale, and the layout inside the venue is unique. The interior of the huge venue is decorated with black curtains or wooden boards. Except for a little silver stars dotted on black, there is almost no second color.
What is even more surprising is that there are no ordinary hall seats in the entire venue, and they are all private rooms.
Lance walked through the VIP passage, and after showing his identity, he came down to Room 37 under the guidance of a staff member.
The private room is not large, except for the situation on the auction table, the rest of the places are pitch black.
The layout of the box No. 37 is simple, with a set of sofa and desk combination furniture, a coffee table with a pot of tea filled with light heat.
There is also a stack of paper and a special quill pen on the table.
Under the introduction of the staff, Lance learned how the entire auction operates:
The auctioneer introduced on the stage that after the wizards in each box made the quote. The quotation method was written on the note through the special quill pen. In this way, all the quotes will be automatically summarized on the data sheet in the auctioneer's hand. He will publicize the highest quotation and then enter the next round.
This is a very simple and efficient auction method. After all, those who come here are genuine wizards, and the time of wizards is often very precious.
"If you have any other questions, you can find me at any time." The staff respectfully pointed to a pot of green plants near the door of the box and said: "Tear off a leaf and our people will come to serve you immediately."
Lance nodded, and after a thank you, the staff left the box.
He took the stack of paper and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Then he picked up the auction list placed next to the teapot and started reading.
This auction organized by the Silver Star Chamber of Commerce is a regular small auction. It is usually held every Saturday. Members of the Silver Star Alliance can participate.
At this kind of regular small auction, there are not many items sold. But it is said that they are all high-quality items. Lance glanced roughly and found that there were only twenty items auctioned tonight, and his powerful magic potion was placed at the finale, which was the second to last.
"After all, it is something made from the blood of the fog dragon. Although my method of refining medicine is average, the grade immediately increased due to the material itself."
Lance was flipping through the auction list and thinking in his mind:
Should we make more magical items or potions from [Mist Dragon]? Even if we can't use them for the time being, it will be very good to sell them out.
After all, the fog dragon corpse will gradually lose its original effect when it is placed there. This time, the production of the Hiltings Bow was also due to the same consideration.
After carefully reading Harvet's mist dragon's works, Lance immediately popped up his mind with the magical items he could make, most of which could be used for his own use. The reason why he did not make these things was because of insufficient materials, and the other was because of other magical items, and the reason was that the Hiltings bow did not help him.
"Since you have come to the city of decay this time, it's better to buy more commonly used materials in advance, so as not to find a place for wizards to gather in the future. If you don't have enough materials on hand, it will be embarrassing." He made a decision in his mind. Even if the magic stones are insufficient, at worst, you can sell another bottle of potion.
Just as he was absent-mindedly flipping through the auction list, a thick voice suddenly sounded:
"Good evening, wizards."
...
A beam of lights came down on the auction table, and a middle-aged man in a dress in front of the table was already ready.
"Welcome to the regular auctions of Silver Star Alliance. There are 39 wizards participating in the auction tonight. Silver Star Alliance thanks you for your contributions and wishes you successfully buy your favorite items in the auction tonight."
"Okay, let's go straight to the topic without saying much nonsense."
"The first item, [Etheric Cloak], some basic descriptions, which are found on the auction list, so I won't say much. But it's worth highlighting that although this Etheric Cloak is only a first-level magical item, it has the characteristics that only a second-level magical cloak has: invisible!"
"I don't need to say more about the value of an invisible cloak. The auction starts now, with a reserve price of 150 magic stones."
With the auctioneer's deep voice, the auction tonight officially kicked off.
Soon, paper strips flew out of each box like snowflakes and flew towards a light in front of the auction table.
The notes merged into the flames, and numbers jumped out. In the end, only the notes marked with the largest number remained and were grabbed by the auctioneer.
He looked down and asked, "The adults in the box No. 3 gave the price of 200 magic stones. Does anyone want to continue to increase the price?"
Soon, a few more pieces of paper flew over. The second round of bidding began in full swing.
Lance sat in the box No. 37, yawning boredly.
The things sold at the Silver Star Auction are indeed treasures for first-level wizards; but second-level wizards like him are no longer attracted to them.
The only thing that made him think was pretty good was the etheric cloak at the beginning. Unfortunately, Lance estimated that the invisible function of this cloak was probably not as powerful as his own chameleon, which dispelled the desire to buy.
The next five or six items were all very ordinary, and Lance was too lazy to even take a look.
"The next item is a bit special. We got a commission from a wizard who had just recently practiced from [Silver Light] to auction this item for him."
"In terms of value, this thing is embarrassing. After all, most of the Rotten City are first-level wizards."
"And this item is something that only a second-level wizard can use."
"The second-level wizard learning scroll, the specific content is [Bilegli Field Swamp], with a starting price of 160 magic stones. Are you interested?"
Chapter completed!
