The city-states in the Land of Ashes basically have their own "underground streets."
The underground streets of Larmore Tower City-State are not too big.
But the intricate struggles among various forces are not inferior to those in big cities.
Underground Street, [Obsidian Material Store].
Inside the stone house on the corridor.
The not-so-bright wall lamps, after stacking six of them, illuminated the cabin brightly.
"Old Comb", who covered his slightly gray hair with a brown cowboy hat, was holding a magnifying glass and looking at the second-order core soul crystal material in the iron box.
"Very good second-level material."
After a long time, Lao Kom repacked the second-level core material into the small iron box and praised it.
"20 magic gold."
Lao Kom offered the price in a rare and generous manner.
"Perhaps, you can look at it more carefully."
Tucker, who was sitting across from the long wooden table, was unmoved by this price.
"Haha...Tucker, our transaction is not once or twice."
"You know, the second-level core material is at this price."
Old Kom lay back and responded with a smile.
"In that case...goodbye!"
Tucker reached out and took the small iron box into his hand, and was about to stand up.
Seeing this, Lao Kom made an annoyed sound.
"Hell!"
"Okay, I'll watch it again."
Tucker pushed the small iron box over expressionlessly.
"25 magic gold."
After watching again, Lao Kom gave a new price.
"30 magic gold."
"30 magic gold? If I accept it, I will lose blood."
"Then you can choose not to accept it."
"26 magic gold, this is my final bottom line."
"You might as well raise your bottom line a little higher , 30 magic gold."
"You little devil, do you only know this price?"
"Hmm... 31 magic gold." Tucker thought for a while and said.
Old Comb: "..."
Old Comb, who was speechless by Tucker, didn't speak for a long time.
"28 magic gold."
Finally, Lao Kom offered his new bottom-line price.
"Although the sequence power carried by this soul crystal material has the tendency to transform into 'elite creatures', it has not transformed after all."
"I really don't know how you got such a top-level second-level material."
Old Kom shook his head . Shake his head.
"Even I don't dare to face those dangerous second-level extraordinary creatures."
"Besides..."
Old Kom's eyes narrowed into a thin line.
"I have good stuff, do you want it?"
Although Tucker came to the underground mall this time just to exchange for materials.
But what Lao Kom calls "good stuff".
Tucker was obviously hesitant.
"Take a look and then talk."
He has extremely powerful and precise vision.
Tucker's ability to see objects far exceeds those of other extraordinary beings.
Otherwise, Tucker would not have discovered that the second-order stone snake ghost crystal was the top material that was about to transform into an elite biological sequence.
"You're lucky, Tucker. Most people can't encounter such a good thing."
Old Comb turned around, opened the iron door, and disappeared into the dark corridor behind the iron door.
Tucker, on the other hand, sat quietly, sorting out his thoughts.
soul!
Source energy!
life!
These are the three key materials needed for a trainee wizard to be promoted to a "first-level wizard".
In the last round of adventure, Tucker got the first-order soul material he needed, "The Wailing Banshee Soul Crystal."
Source energy materials are relatively cheap. Tucker bought them early for 12 magic gold. It is a top-notch "source pool crystal" from the kobold sacrifice, which can expand Tucker's considerable source pool.
For wizards, the size of the source pool largely determines the number of times the spell can be released.
The number of spells released determines life and death.
What Tucker currently lacks is a piece of "life material."
In the early.
When the wizard's spells are not so powerful.
The strong physique provided by life materials is still very important.
So Tucker has been looking for it for a long time.
As for Tucker today.
The strength of life and body is particularly important.
A body that is strong enough, flexible, and fully mobile.
With perfect prediction.
It allows Tucker to avoid many dangers and injuries.
Soon, Old Comb came out holding a parchment scroll.
That was not an ordinary sheepskin scroll, but a sheepskin scroll with certain extraordinary characteristics.
Seal and deposit!
After staring for a moment, Tucker could see the extraordinary properties of this sheepskin scroll.
[Extraordinary characteristics] are the manifestations of the properties of the original matter of the extraordinary world.
At least that's what Tucker said based on what he learned from memory.
For example, if a certain source material's defense becomes stronger after being absorbed, then the source material has defensive properties.
A certain source material, after being stacked in large amounts, exhibits the property of being able to seal other powers. That is undoubtedly the sealing property.
Or, if a certain original substance is absorbed and the soul becomes stronger, then the substance has soul characteristics.
For the [Knight] sequence, the [Defense] characteristic + [Strength] characteristic + [Life] characteristic forms the cornerstone of its own sequence.
For Tucker's [Wizard] sequence, the framework is [Soul] + [Source Energy] + [Life].
Of course, the [life] characteristic of the knight sequence lies in the power of life and the ability to resist.
The "life" of the wizard sequence lies more in the essential form of life, as well as longer lifespan and longer life.
Where does the original substance come from.
These are the extraordinary materials Tucker is buying now.
Use your own wizard sequence to absorb the original characteristics of these materials, so that your extraordinary sequence can transform and complete a qualitative leap.
This is the essence of the advancement of extraordinary beings.
At this time, Tucker judged the extraordinary characteristics by identifying the presentation state of the veins.
This is one of the directions for Tucker to develop the potential of [Precision Vision].
"Be careful, this is a real elite-level magic wolf heart."
Old Kom warned.
Real "elite" material?
Tucker's heart moved slightly.
Extraordinaries need a variety of "extraordinary materials" to advance.
The most common materials are "ordinary grade" produced from various ordinary extraordinary creatures.
One level higher than ordinary-grade materials are "elite-grade" materials.
Extraordinary creatures capable of producing elite-level materials.
Either the best of its kind.
Or, they are born with powerful biological species, such as extremely rare creatures such as protoss, Beamon, Titans, and dragons.
It is said that on top of the "elite-level" materials, there are also "leader-level" materials, and even the legendary "lord-level" materials.
but!
Materials of that level, for normal people.
I might die if I try.
Take the parchment scroll!
"Bang bang...bang bang..."
The strong heart beat sounded in Tucker's ears, and it seemed to be getting stronger.
Immediately afterwards, bloodthirsty violence and fanatical will to kill emerged in Tucker's mind.
Elite-level materials quietly had an impact on Tucker.
If it were in the past, Tucker might still be truly affected.
But now...
the connection between the magic wolf material and Tucker's has been perfectly grasped by Tucker.
Tucker can fully appreciate the power of the demon wolf's heart, but is not affected by its negative effects at all.
"Huh..."
After a long time, Tucker put down the parchment scroll.
"It is indeed an elite material, and it is a very strong elite-level material. Its extraordinary properties are very powerful."
Tucker praised.
"Of course!" Old Kom smiled broadly.
"So when I prepare the promotion potion and take it, I will die very simply, right?"
Old Comb's smile froze on his cheeks.
"Haha...how is that possible..."
Lao Kom's smile quickly covered up his embarrassment.
"You are a powerful wizard who can produce a lot of expensive materials."
"You have to have confidence in yourself."
Tucker was not at all bewitched by Old Kom.
"The will of the demon wolf has penetrated into the sequence material."
"The reason for sealing is to seal the will of the demon wolf, not to seal the material."
"To be precise, this is a contaminated elite material."
Old Kom was slightly angry when his little thoughts were exposed.
"But that's also elite material!"
Tucker smiled and offered his price.
"12 magic gold."
Tucker has been looking for life materials for a long time.
This piece of Demon Wolf Heart can be said to be the best material Tucker has ever encountered.
Although it is contaminated.
However, Tucker, who has access to the trajectory and context, is completely confident that he can block the will of the elite demon wolf.
The general first-level promotion materials range from 8 magic gold to 12 magic gold.
As for elite materials, the price ranges from 15 magic gold to 20 magic gold.
Tucker directly lowered the price to the level of ordinary materials.
"Twelve magic gold, why don't you go and grab it?"
Lao Kom's voice suddenly rose to a higher level.
Tucker looked unconcerned.
"The will of the devil wolf and the beating heart tend to merge."
"As time goes by, this contaminated material gradually becomes scrapped."
"If you insist not to sell it, there is no need for me to take the risk."
He hesitated for a moment Lao Kom finally nodded.
"12 magic gold, 12 magic gold, deal."
Before Tucker, three adventurers had already explored this elite material, but they all rejected it without a doubt.
"Are all the extraordinary people today cowards? They don't dare to risk their lives."
Every time the sale failed, Lao Kom would slap the table and roar angrily.
This time Tucker gave a pretty good price.
Lao Kom can be regarded as solving this hot potato.
"Hey... Tucker, if you want to advance to the first level, you'd better be careful."
"A certain mysterious organization, they are hunting wizards."
"First-level wizards are the key target of their hunting."
After the transaction, I felt Old Comb, who felt much more comfortable, provided Tucker with a piece of valuable information for free.
"I already know, and...we've already fought."
Tucker responded lightly.
"That guy... left peacefully!"
