Chapter 37 [Secret Lock] "Something happened, I haven't been out for a long time," Gothe smiled helplessly, explained, and then asked: "Do you still accept the primary spider poison potion?"
"Of course." Pierre nodded with a smile, and at the same time sent Gothe a message.
"Recently, for some unknown reason, the number of wild beasts outside the city has obviously increased, and they have become a lot more violent. Even earth line creatures appear much more frequently, so there are more people going out to hunt."
"Junior Spiders. The demand for poison potions has greatly increased during this period, and it is almost in short supply. ”
Elementary spider poison potions are originally used by hunters to smear on arrows and weapons to deal with beasts. Its severe paralysis is a weapon for dealing with low-level earth-line creatures and beasts.
Hunting activities have increased, and the sales of primary spider poison potions have naturally increased.
This is good news for Gaode.
His heart moved slightly, and at the same time he handed a set of primary spider poison potions to Pierre.
Pierre took the potion, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then nodded with satisfaction, "The quality of your goods is still so good."
He put away the primary spider poison potion, took out some coins from the drawer under the counter and handed it to Gothe.
"Did you give too much?" Gaude did a mental calculation and found that Pierre actually gave 1 Sean gold coin and 15 clover silver coins, which is 35 silver.
This is 2 silver more than the original purchase price of 33 silver.
It's not a huge amount, but Gaode has no intention of taking advantage of it.
"Didn't I tell you that the supply of primary spider poison potions during this period is in short supply, so its price has also been increased by 10%. Naturally, I have to increase the purchase price, so I can take advantage of you." Pierre explained.
Knowing that it was not too much, Gaode accepted it unceremoniously.
"By the way, what you said before about taking over the repair of magic items, do you still want to count?" After the transaction was completed, Pierre stopped Gothe and asked again.
Gothe's eyes lit up, "Is there some business?"
Repairing magic items can not only make some extra money, but also indirectly understand some spells, which is two birds with one stone.
"Yes, after I released the news, someone actually came to ask about the situation a few days ago." Pierre nodded and did not sit down in a hurry. "It's just that you haven't been here during this time, and I don't know what your situation is, so I didn't respond directly at the time."
“But he still left me an address,” the little old man approached Gothe and said, “The price that person offered was unusually high.”
“How high?” Gothe asked subconsciously.
Pierre stretched out his right hand and then opened it.
"5 Sean gold coins?" Gaode was slightly surprised.
Pierre nodded heavily, "Are you startled? I was also startled when I heard it."
"A one-level magic item?" Gothe said hesitantly.
"Yes," Pierre spread his hands, "otherwise, how could we give such a high repair fee."
The value of a 0-level extraordinary item is only 12-15 gold coins. If the repair cost is 5 gold, it is better to buy a new one.
The only thing that can give such a high repair fee is an extraordinary item.
"Can it be repaired?" Pierre asked.
The difficulty of repairing a level 1 extraordinary item is not the same as repairing a level 0 extraordinary item. Pierre was not sure whether Goude's ability was sufficient, which was one of the reasons why he did not respond at the time.
"Yes," Gothe nodded, "It just takes time, and"
He paused and said in a deep voice: "I need more money!"
The repair fee is generally about 10% of the value of the item itself, which is a more reasonable price, and the average price of a first-level extraordinary item is 65 gold.
In addition, it is almost impossible to find a second person in Hogan City who has the ability to repair an extraordinary item.
Things are rare and expensive. In this case, it is reasonable to increase the price appropriately.
Pierre also understands the market. Naturally, he would not think that Gothe was talking too much. He even nodded in agreement and said: "The repair fee of 5 gold is high, but if it is to repair an extraordinary item, the price is indeed low."
"Then I'll bother you," Gothe would certainly have no objection, "I'll come back to the store the day after tomorrow."
"Boss, do you know whether there are any spells among 0- and 1-level spells that can protect a box and prevent it from being opened by outsiders?" After a moment of hesitation, Gothe asked.
You must find a way to open the wooden spell box left by Master Seda.
Although asking directly like this would expose some information, he felt that he could still bear this risk.
Besides, if you are deliberately secretive, you may not be able to hide it from others, but it will make it easier for others to think too much.
And after these days of contact, Gothe and Pierre have established some slight trust.
Of course, the most important thing is that through these few contacts with Pierre, he vaguely realized that this little old man was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. He was by no means just a small grocery store owner. He was extremely knowledgeable and was the most likely person he knew to solve his doubts.
Not to mention, the wooden sign at the door of the grocery store also states Pierre's extensive "business" scope: part-time item recycling and treasure identification.
There seems to be no big problem in treating the wooden spell box left by Master Seda as a treasure.
"Protect a box and make it impossible for outsiders to open it?"
Pierre did not disappoint Gothe. After frowning his slightly white eyebrows and thinking for a moment, he gave his answer: "Based on your description, all I can think of is the secret lock."
"Secret magic lock?" Gothe raised his eyebrows.
“Yes, a level 1 spell secret lock,” Pierre introduced in detail: “The secret lock can be cast on a door, box or other closed container to lock the container with magic, greatly enhancing its security.
Unless there is a corresponding unlocking secret spell or a powerful spell, otherwise Then it will be almost impossible to open. "
"This means that general physical methods, including lock picking, violent knocking, etc., will not be effective on the container with the arcane lock."
"Because of this effect, the arcane lock can also protect the container." Pierre explained.
"Of course, there may be other spells that can achieve the effect you described. After all, I only have some understanding of the most common and common spells." The little old man shook his head slightly and sighed: "There are too many spells."
Just the [Tracking Mark] of the sleight of hand has already left him at a loss. As a level 1 spell, the Mystic Lock must have left him even more helpless.
"If you don't know the secret unlocking spell set when casting the secret lock and still want to open the secret lock, one thing I can think of is dispel magic, which can directly cancel the spell effect of the secret lock."
"The other one is the knocking spell, which can temporarily suppress the magic effect of the arcane lock for a short period of time," Pierre spread his hands, "but dispel magic is a third-level spell, so don't think about it."
