"Is there anything better, such as a longbow of top-level witchcraft prop level?" Richard asked proactively this time.
Of the three bows that the girl just took, the remaining two were obviously only longbows at the intermediate level of witchcraft props.
Richard had even less interest in watching this.
"This." The girl looked a little hesitant.
Richard was delighted when he saw this.
Obviously, the girl's expression has revealed that this auction house must have longbows that are top-level witchcraft props.
The current situation is that this item has either been ordered long ago or the auction house wants to use it as the finale item in the auction.
"Magic Stone is not a problem." Richard added.
"Please forgive me, sir. If you really want to buy top-level witchcraft items, I'd like to trouble you to demonstrate your purchasing power." The girl said seriously.
Because the girl met many wizard apprentices, and after coming over, they would do the same as Richard, not being satisfied with a few items and asking to see higher-level items, but this was beyond her reception authority and she needed to report to her supervisor.
However, when the supervisor arrives, the other party often shows weakness, obviously because of limited financial resources.
After several cases where customers looked at the products but did not buy, her supervisor had some dissatisfaction with her.
"Well, okay, do you think this is okay?" Richard didn't think anything of it. He took out the [Storm's Fury] short staff and handed it to the girl.
In the past, it was very common to verify capital when purchasing expensive goods.
Moreover, there are even more exaggerated cases, such as when Richard bought Hermès bags in his previous life, he often needed to match the goods.
The meaning of matching goods is that if a customer buys a bag, assuming it costs 100,000 yuan, he or she must also spend another 100,000 yuan to purchase other Hermès products, otherwise Hermès cannot sell the bag to you.
"Is this a top-level witchcraft item?" The girl took over [Fury of the Storm] and was instantly shocked by the powerful wind element energy contained in it. She immediately stared at Richard with wide eyes and said in surprise.
"Good, does this prove my purchasing power?" Richard said with a smile.
"Of course, please wait a moment, I will ask the supervisor to come over right away." The girl respectfully handed [Fury of the Storm] to Richard with both hands, and then ran out in a hurry.
The girl knew that the person coming this time must be a big customer.
Because this was her first time meeting a customer, and she was using top-notch witchcraft props.
After a while, the girl came in accompanied by a middle-aged man dressed in a tuxedo and dressed like a butler.
The man's appearance is also quite distinctive, with a mustache.
"Hello, distinguished guest. I am Boris, the director of Pete's Auction House. I heard that you want to purchase a top-level witchcraft item?" Boris bowed slightly and greeted politely.
"Yes, I came here this time to buy a top-level witchcraft item-level weapon, either a bow or a knight's sword." Richard said slowly.
"Then do you have any requirements for the specific attributes and appearance of the weapon?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as the lethality is as high as possible."
"If that's the case, our auction house has exactly three items you need. Please wait a moment." Boris smiled and whispered to the girl to get them.
After a while, Richard saw the girl holding three boxes, two large and one small.
However, the small box didn't look like it could hold a bow or a knight's sword, which made Richard a little confused.
Boris opened the largest box first, took out a huge light blue longbow, and began to introduce:
"Griffin Wings, a top-level witchcraft item. Made from griffin feathers, it is imbued with the Wind Spell and Sharp Spell. It can shoot five arrows with these two zero-level witchcraft spells every day. After using them, it only takes 12 hours to charge before it can be used again."
"How powerful are these five arrows?" Richard raised his eyebrows and asked with a hint of interest.
"If you use the special arrows made from griffin tail feathers—the griffin tail arrows—then the lethality of each of these five arrows will be more than 7 degrees, close to 8 degrees," Boris said confidently.
Richard remained calm on the surface, but was extremely satisfied in his heart.
This attack power has reached the lethality of the weaker level zero witchcraft.
Moreover, being able to use it five times a day is not a small amount.
Combined with his ultimate level of archery skills, the lethality could probably be increased by one or two levels.
Because, generally speaking, the lethality of a magic trick is less than 5 degrees. Anything above 5 degrees but not exceeding 20 degrees is zero-level witchcraft. Anything above 20 degrees is considered to have reached the threshold of first-level witchcraft.
It should be added that the lethality mentioned here refers to the lethality tested by a wizard of medium qualification or a wizard apprentice at a proficient level of witchcraft control, without the influence of witchcraft props and other factors.
For example, the Shadow Grasp that Richard mastered was not very lethal when used, with the damage being only about 12 degrees.
However, if a top genius with super affinity for dark elements were to perform Shadow Grasp under the same conditions, the damage would be estimated to be over 15 degrees.
Therefore, the lethality of a witchcraft is determined by many factors, including the level of witchcraft control, elemental affinity, witchcraft props, etc.
Of course, Grasp of Shadows is not known for its lethality, but its varied applications make it rank very high among the zero-level shadow witchcraft.
Richard gently stroked the light blue [Griffin Wings] that Boris handed to him. The bow had a strange touch that was neither gold nor wood. It seemed that what was just introduced, that it was made of griffin feathers, should be true.
Moreover, there are two miniature witchcraft circles, one above and one below, on the bow handle of [Griffin Wings]. At this moment, they are surging with tremendous wind element energy. One must be the sharpness magic circle and the other is the gale magic circle.
However, seeing is believing, so Richard stood up and asked, "Can I try it?"
"Of course, please follow me, VIP." Boris stood up and walked to the side of the VIP room. After opening a small door, what came into Richard's eyes was a spacious small training ground.
The entire training ground is rectangular, over a hundred meters deep and only thirty to forty meters wide. At one end of the ground, there are several dummies made of iron and wood.
Richard felt itchy as soon as he saw it, and followed the instructions on the magic circle of [Griffin Wings]. After reciting a few syllables, the longbow glowed brightly with green light, and it was obvious that the magic circle was activated.
From nearly a hundred meters away, Richard nocked the eagle-tail arrow and aimed at the iron wooden dummy.
When he put the arrow on the bow, Richard felt two balls of wind energy being applied to the eagle tail arrow in his hand in an instant.
"Chi!" A unique, extremely sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.
Only a blurry afterimage was seen passing by, and the eagle tail arrow shot directly at the torso of the iron wooden dummy at an extremely high speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Duo!" After it hit the target, only a dull impact sound was heard, and it seemed that the power was not very great.
But Richard, whose eyesight was far superior to that of an ordinary person, had already seen clearly that the eagle-tail arrow he had just shot had already sunk deeply into the hard ironwood, with only the tail of the arrow showing, less than an inch in size.
Richard couldn't help but feel a surge of shock in his heart. Hiss! This penetrating power was comparable to the heavy sniper rifle Barrett that he had seen in his previous life.
This is exactly the high-lethality longbow that Richard needs right now.
Boris and the girl didn't expect that Richard could shoot the dummy directly from such a distance. At this moment, they were clapping their hands and praising him, "Good archery! Your archery skills are really eye-opening."
"How much does this bow cost?" Richard asked proactively.
"The basic price is 1,800 magic stones. If you want to buy it directly, you will need to pay 2,700 magic stones. Of course, we will also give you a tube of 20 eagle tail arrows. If you buy the eagle tail arrows separately, you will need 5 magic stones each."
Richard nodded, said nothing, and turned back to the VIP room.
Boris and the girl looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out what Richard meant. Was he going to take it or not?
After sitting back in his seat, Richard said, "Boss Boris, are you going to introduce the second item?"
Boris was slightly stunned, then reacted instantly and immediately introduced the next item to Richard enthusiastically.
When the girl opened the second large box, a slender silver-white knight's sword came into Richard's sight. As soon as it came into contact with the air, frost flowers began to condense on the surface of the blade.
It was about twenty centimeters longer than the average knight's sword, and the blade was slightly narrower. In addition to the witchcraft circle, there was also a complicated pattern on the hilt.
This pattern seemed to have been seen somewhere before. A light bulb suddenly lit up in Richard's mind and he recalled that it seemed somewhat similar to the patterns of the night elves, but also different.
After Richard took another careful look, he felt that this long sword was most likely not made by a human craftsman, so he turned around and asked, "The long sword of an elf?"
Boris looked quite surprised, looked at Richard with appreciation, and exclaimed: "The distinguished guest is really well-informed!"
Without further ado, Boris began to introduce the sword: "Ice Guardian is a masterpiece from the North Elf craftsmen. It is made entirely of cold iron mixed with a trace of gold essence. It is said that this kind of sword is the standard equipment for the Elf Queen's personal guard." Richard's face flickered when he heard this. Of course he had heard of the name of gold essence. Just a little bit of this material could greatly increase the hardness of a weapon.
Boris paused, then added: "Although it is standard equipment, it is extremely rare in the wild."
Upon hearing this, Richard nodded in agreement. There were probably only a handful of equipment from the Elf Queen's personal guards that could be found outside.
Boris emphasized this point with a clear purpose, which was to express that although this piece of equipment was the standard equipment of the Elf Queen's Guard, it was very rare in the human world.
"Ice Guardian is a top-level witchcraft item. There is a witchcraft array on the front and back of the hilt, which respectively adds the ice-type zero-level witchcraft Deep Winter Chill and Gradual Freezing to the sword. Anyone hit by the sword will be injured by its special coldness, and their movement speed and agility will be greatly reduced."
Surprisingly, both of the two witchcraft circles inflicted ice damage. After a brief thought, Richard understood the elven craftsman's idea in creating this sword.
This [Ice Guardian] does not have the Sharpness Technique added to it because a trace of gold essence has been added to the sword body. In terms of sharpness and hardness, even if a witchcraft array is added to further strengthen it, the improvement will not be significant because it is already sharp and strong enough.
Therefore, in the limited space, an ice magic array was engraved on the hilt of the sword, making the weapon incredibly cold.
Richard's fingertips lightly brushed across the frost-covered sword blade, and he felt an extreme chill penetrating into his body from his fingertips. This was without activating the special effects of the witchcraft array.
If the special effects of the two magic arrays are activated, and the enemy is slashed with the sword, the enemy must feel very sour and refreshing!
It is like drinking Sprite in summer, refreshing!
"If the special effects are activated, how long can the two magic arrays last?"
"It can last about ten minutes. It will take a day to charge it again," Boris added.
Richard nodded. Ten minutes was basically enough for a battle.
He really liked the special effects of this weapon, which reduced the enemy's movement speed and agility. This kind of special effect could only be produced by a very small number of wizards specializing in ice and the master craftsmen in the north.
However, this elven sword has an extraordinary origin, and its price must be very shocking.
"What is the price of this sword?" Richard thought for a moment and turned to ask Boris.
"The basic selling price is 2,200 magic stones. If you choose to buy it directly, you will need to pay a total of 3,300 magic stones." Boris looked at Richard meaningfully, as if he wanted to observe the other party's willingness to buy and financial resources through Richard's expression.
But Richard's expression never changed, he just handed the sword back to the girl very gentlemanly.
At this point, Boris raised his eyebrows and did not continue to introduce the last item. Instead, he picked up the teacup on the tea table and said, "Dear guest, please allow me to have some honey tea. I just introduced two items and now my mouth is a little dry."
Richard smiled silently. When he heard what Boris said, he knew that since the other party had not expressed his opinion twice, he was beginning to doubt whether he was sincere in wanting to buy.
The next second, Richard turned to Boris and said with a smile, "Director Boris, I would like to sell this [Storm's Fury] to your auction house. If the price is right, I think your house will not mind having one more collection."
Boris' eyes lit up when he saw the green short staff handed over by Richard. He had just heard from Penile that the other party had a top-level witchcraft prop in his hand, but when he saw it now, he was still shocked.
Because [Storm's Fury] is made entirely of bright wood and specializes in the wind element, if it encounters a wizard apprentice with a very high affinity for the wind element, it can be said that they complement each other.
Moreover, from another perspective, this [Storm's Fury] is a short staff. For wizard apprentices, the threshold for using a short staff is obviously lower than that for using a bow or sword, so there will be a certain degree of bonus in value.
Boris held the [Storm's Fury] in his hand and studied it carefully. He then checked the explanation array and said, "Dear guest, your [Storm's Fury] is very rare. We at Peter's Auction House are willing to buy it for 3,500 magic stones. What do you think?"
Richard pondered for a moment and felt that the price was not bad. It was slightly higher than the [Ice Guardian], which was in line with his expectations.
Boris and Richard did not say anything, and continued: "Of course, VIP, you can also choose to consign the items and have our auction house auction them on your behalf. However, we will take 10% of the total price as commission."
Richard would definitely not choose the consignment method. As for [Fury of the Storm], Richard felt that even if he happened to meet a wizard apprentice who specialized in wind, the auction price would not exceed 4,200 magic stones. After deducting 10% of the transaction fee, it would be between 3,700 and 3,800.
From this perspective, although the other party must have slightly lowered the price, I am in a hurry to make a deal, so there is no need to bargain over one or two hundred magic stones.
So, Richard smiled and said, "Manager Boris, don't worry, isn't there a third item? Is it convenient for you to introduce it to me now?"
Boris smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course. This item is extremely rare, so it is also very expensive. An ordinary third-level wizard apprentice may not be able to afford it, but you, the VIP, are definitely not one of them."
After a pause, Boris saw that Richard still looked calm, so he carefully opened the small box and handed it to Richard.
In the center of the gorgeous box, there was a gray metal wristband. It looked plain and seemed less valuable than the box.
Richard couldn't help but be curious and looked up at Boris. Boris waved his hand, indicating that Richard could check it out himself.
When Richard touched the metal wristband, he found it was cool and of moderate weight. Moreover, the witchcraft array was actually carved inside the wristband. When he touched it with his hand, he found that the inner circle was full of witchcraft runes, which were extremely complicated.
When Richard finally looked puzzled, Boris smiled with satisfaction, seeming to be very satisfied with the effect, and introduced: "This item is called [Mimicry Wristband], which is made of mimicry metal mixed with gold essence and thorium, and it was made by a formal wizard."
Mimic metal! Richard was surprised. He had heard of the name of mimic metal. It was said that only official wizards could make it, and it was very expensive.
"You have also seen the magic circle inside the wristband, right? This is a special mimicry magic circle. Although it is complicated, it actually has only one function, which is to simulate the shape imagined by the user in his mind."
"Because this item is mixed with gold essence and thorium, both of which are extremely strong metals, the greatest use of this equipment is to transform it into defensive equipment such as shields or armor."
"Of course, if it is used to transform into a knight's sword, there is absolutely no problem, but its special effects are not as good as the [Ice Guardian] you saw before."
Richard nodded to show his understanding. The greatest function of mimicry metal is to change its shape so as to cope with various situations.
Moreover, leaning towards defense is actually a good thing, as it can improve one's own protective ability to a higher level.
"Can I try it?"
Seeing Richard's slightly excited face, Boris smiled and nodded.
After checking the instruction array inside the wristband, Richard immediately read out a few short syllables in Akkadian written on it.
In an instant, the gray wristband turned into bright silver, and ripples appeared on the surface, just like the surface of water.
Richard began to imagine the shape of a square tower shield in his mind. When the tower shield pattern in his mind was completed, the wristband suddenly turned into a thin square tower shield to defend against Richard.
Richard was immediately overjoyed. The mimicry metal changed at an extremely fast speed, almost in sync with what he thought in his mind. This was beyond his expectations.
However, when Richard carefully observed its transformed state, he frowned and said, "This thickness?"
Seemingly a little confused about how much defense this thickness can provide, Boris quickly said, "My dear, although the thickness is not thick, the defense degree should be 15 degrees based on the current area, and the smaller the area, the higher the defense degree, and the highest can be close to 20 degrees, which is almost the limit of the wizard apprentice's attack power."
So that's how it is. The larger the area, the weaker the defense, and the smaller the area, the stronger the defense.
Richard nodded to show his understanding. If used properly, having this equipment in hand is often equivalent to saving an extra life.
So, Richard raised the tower shield and asked, "How many magic stones?"
"The basic price is 5,000 magic stones. If you want to buy it directly, you will need to pay 7,500 magic stones."
"What?" Richard couldn't help but wonder.
Although Richard had expected it to be expensive, he did not expect the price of this [Mimetic Wristband] to be so high.
You should know that an entry-level low-level magical weapon costs roughly a little over 10,000 magic stones.
This top-level witchcraft item actually requires 7,500 magic stones. It is a good thing, but the price is really too high.
Boris certainly saw Richard's surprise, and said calmly: "This [Mimicry Wristband] was once a family heirloom of a small wizard family. Later, the family suffered some changes and fell apart. After that, after many twists and turns, this [Mimicry Wristband] finally came to our Pete Auction House."
"We spent a lot of money to buy it. Originally, this item was to be the finale of our auction in three days, so..."
Having said this, Boris paused and said no more.
Of course Richard understood what the other party meant. If he felt the price was too high, he could just wait until the auction three days later to bid. If there were fewer bidders, the price might be cheaper.
At this moment, the VIP room suddenly fell silent. Neither Boris nor the girl interrupted Richard's thoughts.
No matter who you are, you should think carefully before purchasing such a valuable item.
Actually, what Richard was thinking was not that the [Mimicry Wristband] was too expensive and therefore not worth buying.
He was considering whether to choose the [Mimicry Wristguard] alone, or to choose the [Mimicry Wristguard] and [Griffin Wings], or all three?
The price of the [Mimicry Wristguard] alone was 7,500 magic stones, but if the [Ice Guardian] and [Griffin Wings] were included, it would be 13,500 magic stones.
An absolutely huge sum of money!
