Chapter 77 New Spells (4)
"Okay." Gothe said helplessly.
Without asking in detail, he figured it out, and it was still due to the monopoly of knowledge.
Even if the official is willing to open an opening to sell spell formulas, it is only a small opening.
It is impossible for these ruling classes to really sell all spell formulas with clearly marked prices.
Especially the spells with powerful destructive power are on the control list and will not be sold.
If you really want to learn those precious spells, you still have to join a large mage organization or be used by the official.
This is to cut off the wild mage's path. Gothe muttered in his heart.
But this is the same in every world.
Just like in the world of cultivating immortals, the magic techniques that casual cultivators can buy are also low-level magic techniques that families and sects do not value.
If you want to learn advanced techniques, you have to join a sect.
"How do you calculate the price?" Gaode asked.
"Level 0 spell formula, 6 gold per portion, 1-level spell formula, 25 gold per portion, flat price, no bargaining." The young lady in charge of the reception had a soft voice.
"[Detect Poison], [Magic Trick], [Switch Technique], and [Messaging Technique], I want these four spell formulas." Gothe was not surprised that the spell formula was expensive.
He pointed on the book, and at the same time counted out 24 gold coins from the money bag, and pushed them to the receptionist lady.
He is only a first-class apprentice now and is still far from being a level 1 mage. There is no need to rush to buy a level 1 spell formula.
Not to mention that it is not needed for the time being, the price of 25 gold coins per serving is too high.
However, it is an unexpected gain to know the specific effects of some level 1 spells through book entries.
"Please wait a moment." The brown-haired lady put away the gold coins, put on her low-heeled leather shoes and left.
After a while, she appeared again with four spell formulas.
However, the brown-haired lady did not give the spell formula directly to Gaode immediately. Instead, she took out two more standard documents from the drawer on the counter.
She picked up a pen and wrote on it, and then took out a seal. After stamping a seal on both documents, she handed it to Gothe:
"Please fill in the detailed information. If there is a problem with the spell formula, you can use this voucher to find it. We'll handle it for you. "
Oh, there's also the payment receipt. It's an official channel. No matter how good it is, at least it's in good form. Gaode took the two standard documents and found that the specific name of the spell formula he purchased, the date of purchase, and the payment amount were written on the paper.
In addition, the few empty lines at the bottom are for filling in his personal information.
Finally, there is a very small note at the bottom:
Spell formulas purchased in this association are not allowed to be resold.
Gaode picked up the quill pen on the table, filled in his name "Google·Ditu", and printed his fingerprints.
Two certificates, one for each buyer and seller.
After putting away the voucher printed by Gothe's fingerprints, the brown-haired lady handed the four spell formulas in her hand to Gothe:
【Detect Poison] (Prophecy, Level 0):
You can detect whether a creature, an object, or a cubic area with a side length of 5 feet is poisonous or poisonous.
If you know the poison, you can use this spell to detect the exact type of poison.
This spell can penetrate obstacles, but it can be blocked by 1 foot (about 0.3 meters) of rock, 1 inch of ordinary metal, lead sheets, or 3 feet of wood or earth.
You create one of the following magical effects within 10 feet of casting range: You create an immediate, harmless sensory effect, such as a spark, a gust of wind, faint music, or an odd odor.
You immediately light or extinguish a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
You instantly make an object up to 1 cubic foot clean or dirty.
You instantly cool, warm, or season an area of inanimate matter no larger than 1 cubic foot for 1 hour.
You create a patch of color, a mark, or a symbol on an object or surface. The effect lasts for 1 hour.
You create a palm-sized nonmagical bauble or an illusory image.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can maintain up to three different non-instantaneous effects at the same time, and you can dismiss one of the effects as an action.
【Switch】(transmutation, level 0):
You can open or close (at your choice) a door, trunk, box, window, bag, bottle, or other container.
This spell fails if anything blocks the opening or closing action (such as a latch on a door or a lock on a chest).
In addition, this spell can only open or close items weighing less than 30 pounds (approximately 14 kilograms).
Hence, doors, chests, or similar objects designed to accommodate large creatures would be beyond the spell's reach.
[Messaging] (Transmutation, 0th level):
You point your finger at a creature within 120 feet and whisper a message.
The target (and only the target) hears this message and can reply to you in a whisper that only you can hear.
You can cast this spell through a solid object, but you must be familiar with the target and know that it is behind the barrier.
Magical Silence: A 1-foot-thick piece of stone, 1-inch thick piece of metal, a thin sheet of lead, or a 3-foot-thick piece of wood can block this spell.
This spell does not need to convey information in a straight line; it can freely turn around corners or pass through holes.
Although none of the four tricks can bring any substantial improvement in combat power to Gaode, all of them are very practical.
【Detecting Poison】Needless to say, whether it is daily life or survival in the wild, it is a magical skill.
High-level mage should have a way to be immune to poison, but for mage apprentices, poison is still very deadly.
After mastering this trick, you can ensure that as long as you are careful enough, it is almost impossible to be plotted by poison.
And among other things, with [Detecting Toxicity], you can at least ensure that you won’t eat poisonous fungi in the wild.
【Magic Trick】It is also a very practical spell with many effects. Most of the time, the upper limit of this spell depends on the imagination of the mage.
Even if we ignore everything else, the seasoning effect in [Magic Trick] is already worth the price of admission.
The water making technique makes water, and then uses magic tricks to adjust the flavor. Then I can drink the "magic version of Coke" anywhere at any time. Thinking of this, Gothe had to sigh that magic is really a magical thing.
The same is true for [Switch Technique] and [Messaging Technique], both of which are extremely flexible and practical tricks.
【Switch Technique】can be used to avoid traps, operate mechanisms from a distance or sneak in. 【Messaging Technique】can realize encrypted calls in specific situations. The most classic use is to communicate between teammates during combat.
收获满满地从不莱梅法师协会离开后，高德便是再度乘坐公共马车，回到了卡蒙德区。
However, he did not go home directly. Instead, he went to Workshop Street and ordered a curtain embroidered with knives and magic runes to be hung at the door of his home.
随后又到附近的市场，买了足够三天食用的小麦面包与根茎蔬菜、肉类。
对高德来说，下馆子终究只是偶尔，大部分时间还是得自己下厨。
此外，高德还花费4银购买了一盒一磅重的罐装斯里兰卡红茶。
这种红茶风味丰富，口感中带有清新的柑橘香和清甜回味，是中档的茶叶。
The reason why he is willing to spend this money is not only to drink it with breakfast on weekdays, but mainly because he always has something to entertain guests when they come.
After completing this, Gaode finally ended his busy day and returned to his house No. 437.
