Chapter 52 Basic Magic Potion
Gothe was shocked, and then he realized that he was not cautious enough and was too impulsive.
Him He bought a scroll of knocking spells from Pierre not long ago to suppress arcane locks, and now he shows such a "nouveau riche" attitude.
Anyone can think of the meaning behind this as long as they think about it.
Fortunately, Pierre is not a person with ulterior motives, and it is estimated that when he solved the [Secret Magic Lock], Pierre roughly guessed something.
But Gao De was still startled and had a memory in his heart.
Don't be so complacent in the future.
"It's okay, it's okay," Gothe said with a haha, and said, "Then I look forward to your good news."
After agreeing on a specific time with Pierre, Gothe said goodbye and left.
The little old man glanced at Gothe's leaving figure and muttered in his heart: "This kid, it feels more and more complicated."
Pierre agreed to his request, and even though he might not be able to win, Gothe was in a pretty good mood.
At that time, Yom brought a total of five spell recipes.
Just because of limited financial resources, he could only choose the three most suitable for him based on his situation: [Acid Splash], [Freeze Ray], and [Increase Resistance].
The remaining [Blade Protection] and [Reading Magic] are temporarily abandoned.
The reason why I came back now and wanted to contact Yom again and buy the remaining two spell formulas from him was that I had a lot of money.
The second thing is that he really needs these two spell formulas that he gave up at the beginning.
In order to obtain the origin, Gaode will have to confront the earth-line creatures sooner or later.
The [Blade Protection] that can protect against physical damage is particularly important.
What's more, Gao Deyou remembered the last time he was attacked by three unemployed miners in the city.
Although it was only a minor injury at the time, and I was able to force them back with the help of magic punishment, I still feel scared when I think about it now.
As the saying goes, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of the kitchen knife.
A truth.
At least if you have mastered [Blade Protection], you no longer need to be afraid of kitchen knives.
As for [Reading Magic], it is even more important to Gaode.
It can even be said that this is his primary goal.
Not to mention, as a mage, if you do not master the ability to interpret magic words, you will encounter many inconveniences in the future.
Just looking at the present moment, Gothe also has reasons why he has to master [Reading Magic].
—He wants to use [Reading Magic] to decipher the magical words on the scroll of unknown purpose in Master Seda’s legacy.
How can people not be curious about what is actually recorded on a scroll that looks very precious and unusual?
After leaving Pierre's Grocery Store, Gaode did not return directly to the medicine garden.
He thought for a while, and finally took a detour to the Rose Potion Store at the end of the street, the farthest away from Phil's Potion Store.
There are three most famous potion stores in Hogan City:
Phil's Potion Store, Netherlight Potion Store and Rose Potion Store.
The three potion shops all want to dominate and monopolize the potion market in Hogan City, so the competition between them is extremely fierce and it can be said that they are incompatible.
When you come to the magic shop, you can either sell medicine or buy medicine.
Gaode’s purpose is the latter.
Now that he has a "huge sum of money" in his hands, Gaode has started to think about things that he didn't dare to do before.
He plans to spend extravagantly on purchasing "Basic Magic Potion" to assist his practice of Guidance.
But it cannot be purchased at Phil's Potion Shop.
He has already aroused the suspicion of the clerk at Phil's Potions Store. When buying basic magic potions, it is natural to find another potion store to be safe.
The market price of "Basic Magic Potion" is a set of 6 gold.
A first-class mage apprentice can consume a set of basic magic potions in 6 days.
In other words, if Gothe wants to drink basic magic potion continuously, the 50 gold left by Master Seda can support his practice for 50 days.
Although Gao De is usually a "miser", he can still distinguish between state and money, which is more important.
Besides, as your strength increases, it will become easier to make money.
This is exactly the case.
Stepping into the door of Rose Potion Store, Gaode glanced around the store and did not see any basic magic potion for sale.
But he did not leave disappointed.
The number of mages in small cities is still too small, so the potions sold in potions stores are still mainly potions that ordinary people can use.
Pharmacies such as basic magic potion, which are exclusively for use by mages, are not necessarily displayed openly in pharmacies.
The clerk in the store is very discerning. Before Gaode could ask a question, a young male clerk had already taken the initiative to come over and asked: "Hello, customer, what do you need?"
He saw Gothe looking back and forth on the container as soon as he came in, obviously looking for the magic potion he needed with a clear purpose.
This kind of customers rarely need any promotion, and they almost never leave empty-handed.
Seeing that Gothe almost scanned the store but still didn't speak, he guessed that Gothe didn't find what he wanted, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Is there any basic magic potion for sale? I didn't see it."
"Of course there is, just put it in the medicine cabinet. Wait a minute and I'll take it out for you." The clerk looked at Gothe in surprise.
Gothe is wearing brown linen clothes, which is typical clothing for civilians.
And basic magic potion is obviously a "luxury product", so he did not expect that Gaode's target would be it.
Astonished, the clerk knelt down neatly in front of the medicine cabinet next to the counter, then took out a delicate box from the drawer, carefully placed it on the counter, and opened it in front of Gothe.
In the box are three small bottles of magic potion, and the liquid is crystal clear sea blue.
"Look, guest."
Gaode's heart moved, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
【Detect magic】.
At this moment, in his eyes, a medium-bright light invisible to others was shining on the potion bottle.
The quality is pretty good.
Having inspected the goods, Gaode was satisfied.
“How much does a set cost?” He inquired as usual.
"Customer, a group only costs 6 gold and 10 silver. Our store clearly marks the price and does not negotiate." The clerk said with a smile.
"Isn't the market price of a basic magic potion worth 6 gold per set?" Gaode's expression changed and he could no longer remain calm.
"That's right," the clerk explained patiently: "But recently, due to the frequent appearance of earth-line creatures outside the city, many outsiders have rushed to our Hogan City."
"You know, among these outsiders, A large number of them are mage apprentices, and they will also buy basic magic potions for drinking. "If there were no such unexpected situation, the sales volume of basic magic potions in our pharmacy would have been very stable, and it would not matter how many sets we could sell in a year."
“That’s why we are very restrained in stocking up. Now that we have gone through so much trouble, we obviously can’t keep up with the stocking, so we have to raise the price.” The clerk spread his hands and said matter-of-factly.
"It's not just us, you can go to Phil's Potion Store or Netherlight Potion Store and ask, it's the same price."
As the same saying, the market determines the price.
"Okay," hearing this, Gothe could only admit defeat, gritted his teeth bitterly, and then said: "Bring me two sets."
"Okay!" The clerk immediately squatted down enthusiastically and took out another set of basic magic potions from the medicine cabinet.
A business of more than 10 gold coins is considered a big deal in the store.
Gaode carefully took out the money bag from his pocket, counted 13 gold coins and paid it to the clerk.
