He has magic stones. Apart from other things, a single high-level magic stone can be easily exchanged for more than 10,000 ordinary magic stones.
But Richard didn't want to use high-level magic stones unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, this thing is rarely sold on the market, and almost every time it appears, it is purchased at a premium.
Therefore, it is easy to sell this high-level magic stone, but it is difficult to get it again.
Moreover, Richard only has one high-level magic stone left, which is the key to teleporting to the blind murloc tribe, and it is impossible to exchange it easily.
The other unnecessary things in his bag only amounted to about 10,000 magic stones. It seemed beyond his ability to get all three things.
Richard thought about it and decided to see how many magic stones the [Wind Spirit Pendant] could be sold for first.
So, Richard pretended to be reluctant to leave, and took out a prismatic transparent crystal pendant from his arms with a painful look.
"Manager Boris, I wonder if your auction house is interested in purchasing this [Wind Spirit Pendant]?" Richard said as he turned around and solemnly handed the Wind Spirit Pendant to Boris beside him.
When Boris saw Richard's expression, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that this pendant must be a more precious witchcraft prop than the [Fury of the Storm] just now. Immediately, he took it with both hands respectfully and observed it carefully.
The next second, Boris showed a look of surprise. This turned out to be an extremely rare top-level defensive witchcraft item.
From a practical point of view, it can be said that it is completely in no way inferior to the [Mimicry Wristband]. He doesn't know why the other party wants to sell it.
However, from the perspective of the auction house, such a good thing must not be missed. Boris hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Dear guest, can I test the effect of this [Wind Spirit Pendant] now?"
"Of course." Richard nodded.
"Thank you." Boris immediately recited a few short syllables silently according to the description on the magic circle.
In an instant, a light blue wind element shield wrapped around his entire body, and the wind energy at his legs was particularly strong. This was due to the superposition of Swift Wind and the Wind Element Shield.
In an instant, Boris ran into the VIP room at full speed.
A few seconds later, Boris returned to his seat with a ruddy face and said, "Dear guest, I am willing to offer 5,000 magic stones for this [Wind Spirit Pendant]. How do you think?"
Richard was secretly delighted. This was nearly 500 magic stones higher than he expected. However, he still showed an extremely distressed and reluctant expression. He frowned and said, "Director Boris, this price seems a bit low, right? If so, I won't sell it."
"No! No! VIP, look at 5,500 magic stones, this is my lowest price." Boris said quickly.
Richard was silent for a while.
The girl next to him clenched her fists and looked at Richard's thoughtful face nervously, shouting in her heart: "Promise it, you must promise it."
After a long moment, Richard nodded.
Boris and the girl both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled widely.
In fact, Richard was already very happy in his heart. This was much higher than he had expected, which was certainly a good thing.
From this perspective, after selling these two pieces of equipment, I can get a total of 9,000 magic stones. Adding the more than 4,000 magic stones on hand, basically 13,500 magic stones will be enough.
"Director Boris, I want all three items you just showed me!"
"What? The VIPs want them all?" Boris was stunned, and the girl next to him opened her mouth in surprise.
The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
It seemed that both of them were shocked by Richard's generosity.
13,500 magic stones is a huge sum of money no matter where you put it.
This is double happiness for the girl and Boris!
Boris quickly calculated in his mind, and after a moment, he said to Richard: "Dear guest, your two items cost a total of 9,000 magic stones, and you need to pay the difference of 4,500 magic stones. How do you think it would be more convenient for you to pay the rest?"
From the perspective of the auction house, Boris, as the director, hoped that Richard could come up with one or two more good items to pay the balance.
In this way, you can make more money by selling it through an auction house.
Richard thought about it and realized that he only had about 4,000 ordinary magic stones left, except for the high-level and intermediate magic stones.
He immediately left more than 1,000 magic stones as reserves and took out 3,000 magic stones and gave them to Boris.
Boris couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw Richard actually took out magic stones to pay the rest.
Finally, there was still a shortage of 1,500 magic stones. After a brief thought, Richard took out a bunch of hemostatic potions, healing potions, and primary mental power recovery potions from Muken in Gurus College to make up for it.
This immediately made Boris and the girl look happy again.
For them, the profit from in-kind deduction is definitely greater.
Ten minutes later, the money and goods were settled.
With Boris and the girl seeing him off, Richard walked out of Pitt's Auction House with satisfaction.
This trip to the auction house can be said to be a journey of upgrading one's muskets to cannons. All of Richard's belongings that came from dubious sources were exchanged for three top-level witchcraft props, which increased his combat power by at least 20%.
However, his pockets became much emptier in an instant, and the only thousand or so magic stones left had to be used to buy a mount. It felt like going back to the time before liberation.
At this moment, Richard actually missed the people who had given him the spoils.
I hope that next time, the enemy's storm will be even more violent!
Richard took two steps and realized something was wrong.
Several wizard apprentices around him looked at him with something strange in their eyes.
It seems filled with awe, envy and a little greed.
In an instant, Richard suddenly realized.
His own knight's longsword [Ice Guardian] was fine, after all, it had a scabbard, and the hilt was slightly covered by his robe, so it was hard to tell that it was a top-level witchcraft prop.
However, [Griffin Wings] is a longbow that is 1.6 meters long and looks extremely cool. It is very eye-catching when worn diagonally on the back.
If he encountered a wizard apprentice with keen perception, once he got within a few meters of Richard, he would be able to feel the powerful wind elemental force on the bow.
One can immediately guess that this bow is no ordinary witchcraft prop.
Richard thought about it and found a leather armor shop and bought a set of shiny black leather armor. However, he still wore a hood to maintain a certain sense of mystery. With a sword on his waist and a large bow on his back, the first impression he gave was that of a ranger.
Richard also covered the bow of [Griffin Wings] with a layer of animal skin of some strange creature, which weakened the fluctuations of the witchcraft array on the bow a lot.
The same is true for the hilt of [Ice Guardian]. Without the sword being drawn, it is impossible to tell that this is a knight's longsword of the top-level witchcraft item level.
In this way, the whole person walking on the street will appear ordinary and no longer so high-profile.
Following the instructions on the signboard, Richard came to a mount shop in Andel Market, but unfortunately, the mount shop here did not sell special mounts like the one in Black Forest Market.
The mounts sold here are either ordinary horses or wildebeests.
According to the store clerk, wildebeest is the product of a cross between a common horse and a zebra with horns on its head.
Richard smiled slightly when he heard it. The zebra with a pair of horns on its head was a horned zebra, a low-level extraordinary creature, almost on the same level as low-level monsters.
The wildebeest's endurance and physique far exceed those of ordinary horses, but not as good as exotic creatures like zebras.
So, Richard spent 25 magic stones to buy a strong wildebeest. At least, it was much better than the nag he bought for 4 gold dinars in the small village.
After strolling around for a while and buying some rare herbal raw materials, Richard prepared to leave Andel Market and head to Silverpine Town.
From here, if you drive the wildebeest at full speed, you can reach Silver Pine Town in about half a day.
Thinking about seeing his family soon, Richard couldn't help but feel a little excited and a little nervous.
However, as he was riding his wildebeest towards the market exit, he caught a glimpse of a peculiar shop out of the corner of his eye.
I saw that the shop occupied a large area. On the sign at the door, there was a group of people painted on it, both men and women. The men were strong and the women were beautiful, but they all had one thing in common: they were all wearing shackles.
Richard couldn't help but be very curious. It seemed that this was a shop selling slaves?
Pulling the reins of the wildebeest, Richard stopped and hesitated for a moment, then decided to go and take a look.
I have been to many shops so far, but this is the first time I have seen a slave house.
I don't know if there are any formal knight-level slaves. If there are, I can buy a few to expand the family's strength.
However, what is strange is that many wizard apprentices enter this store, but none of them come out.
Richard thought about it for a moment and had a rough guess in his mind.
However, Richard went in for a short while and returned disappointed.
The slaves sold in this slave house are mainly female slaves, and the quality of the female slaves is quite high. Many of them are young and beautiful, and you can even find quite a few female slaves who were once noble ladies. They are quite popular among wizard apprentices.
After all, most wizard apprentices have limited talents, and many choose to enjoy themselves while they can. Some cannot withstand stress and need to vent some of the dark desires in their hearts.
So, just as Richard guessed, this slave house had a hidden back door. After the wizard apprentice selected the female slave he needed, he would put on a hood and quietly walk out of the back door.
After all, many wizard apprentices are of noble birth and are more concerned about influence.
Sanctimonious? Richard thought about it and couldn't help but sneer. It seems that it is the same in every era.
As for the male slaves, Richard took a look and found that most of them were of the quasi-knight level. The few who had reached the knight level were either older than his father or were northern barbarians, two meters tall with thick hair, which was too conspicuous in the family.
After hesitating for a while, Richard finally shook his head and walked out of the slave house.
But just after walking out of the slave house, Richard discovered that the soul-eating spider that was originally sleeping in his arms suddenly moved, and a mental power fluctuation that was no less than that of an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice instantly emanated from his arms.
This immediately caused many wizard apprentices who were entering and leaving the slave house to look at Richard in surprise.
Richard was also surprised, and immediately hurried to the only inn in Andel Market and booked a room.
After entering the room, Richard's face was filled with confusion. He took out the crystal-colored Soul-Eating Spider from his arms and stared at it in a daze.
Because just now, a little girl's voice suddenly appeared in my mind.
"Mother, I can finally speak now."
"Mother? Are you calling me? Are you the Soul-Eating Spider?" Richard muttered in his heart.
"Yes! But the Soul-Eating Spider sounds too ugly. Mother, can you help me choose a name?" The excited voice of a little girl came from my mind.
Richard was silent for a while, but after thinking about it, he decided to make a correction first.
"Don't call me mother, call me father."
This made the Soul-Eating Demon Spider a little confused, because in its blood genetic information, there was no such thing as a father, and everyone who raised it was called a mother.
"What is a father?"
Richard felt a little headache because he had a daughter before he even got married.
"Similar to my mother. I'll explain the details later." Richard then asked, "How come you can speak suddenly?"
"I don't know either. After this evolution, I can speak. By the way, father." The little girl said stutteringly.
"It's father." Richard guided.
"Father, by the way, Father, you haven't given me a name yet!" the little girl said coquettishly.
"Your appearance now is like a piece of crystal, so let's call you Crystal. What do you think?" Richard said after thinking for a while.
"Father, I have a sister here who also wants to come out and talk to you?" Crystal continued.
"What?" Richard suddenly felt a little creepy.
When did the Soul-Eating Demon Spider have another sister in its body?
Is it schizophrenia?
Or is it the sequelae of swallowing too many souls?
"When did you get a sister?" Richard asked in doubt.
"After I evolved, my sister woke up, and it seemed like she knew my father?" Crystal didn't quite understand why.
Richard's mind raced, could it be?
"Okay, Crystal, then let her out." Richard said after calming down.
"Dad, if she comes out, I have to go back. I'll give her half an hour." Crystal said reluctantly.
"good."
The fist-sized soul-eating spider on the table began to tremble.
"Li Richard, do you remember me?" A familiar voice that he hadn't heard for a long time sounded in Richard's mind.
Richard was very familiar with this voice. It was Stephanie!
As expected, "Good people don't live long, but bad people die a thousand years".
This one is not dead!
"Stephanie?" Richard confirmed.
"It's me! I didn't expect to see you again in such a situation."
Richard was silent for a while, he didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, the Soul Devouring Demon Spider and I are now one body with two souls. The blood oath contract you signed with it is also valid for me."
Richard was stunned after hearing this and said, "In other words, you are also my contracted creature now?"
There was a silence on the other side. After a long while, a faint female voice came: "Yes! Are you satisfied now? Everything I have done has become your dress."
"Well, I'm just lucky." Richard touched his nose and said.
"Richard, can you do me a favor?" Stephanie said hesitantly.
Richard instantly became alert.
"What kind of help? I can't help you with anything big."
"Crystal and I are now one body with two souls. Every time she comes out, I can only sleep. Can you find a suitable body for me?" Stephanie explained timidly.
"Richard, I have signed a blood oath with you. I am yours now. It will be a good thing for you if I become stronger. Also, you don't have to worry about me playing tricks on you."
Richard's face turned dark, and he thought to himself, what do you mean by my people!
However, Richard sensed it and indeed felt that there was an invisible connection between himself and Stephanie, and he seemed to be able to control or order her to do anything.
After a pause, Richard asked, "What kind of body? There should be some requirements, right?"
"Can you help me find a female body that's preferably good-looking and younger? If possible, it would be best if she has the blood of the Spider Woman." When Stephanie saw that Richard showed signs of agreeing, her voice became much more cheerful.
Richard almost fell to the ground after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "Spider Girl Bloodline? Where can I find this!"
Stephanie saw that Richard seemed a little angry, and quickly said, "Spider-woman bloodline. Generally, one of our family members awakens every 5-10 years. It's just that the concentration of the bloodline may not be as high as mine. I know that there is a 10-year-old girl in our family branch. She should be my cousin. She has Spider-woman bloodline."
Richard was speechless for a while. It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature.
"Stop! Let's discuss this later. By the way, besides a female body, there should be some other conditions, right? Can you, like Crystal, directly perform special abilities similar to occupying a body?"
"Well, the biggest difficulty in the future is that we need to find someone to perform the spirit reincarnation ritual. Or Richard, you can learn how to perform the spirit reincarnation ritual. This witchcraft is not easy to find. However, I heard that someone at Gurus College should know this witchcraft."
It can't be such a coincidence, Richard thought to himself. After he killed Muken in the spirit reincarnation ritual, he happened to discover that Muken actually knew this rare witchcraft, so Richard learned it without much effort.
After a long while, Richard said quietly, "Let's discuss this later.
"
Rosby County.
Silverpine Town.
At this moment, more than half of the houses in Yinsong Town were destroyed, with broken walls and ruins, and some houses were emitting bursts of black smoke.
It looked like a small war.
Only Clavel Castle stood tall, seemingly untouched by the war.
In addition to the fully armed guards on the castle wall, there were three men in full knight armor, watching the huge monster that looked like a crab and a bit like a spider wreaking havoc in Silver Pine Town.
The middle-aged knight with a frown in the center is Richard's father, Baron Clavier, and to his left is Richard's brother Levi.
"Father, are we just going to watch this monster destroy Silver Pine Town wantonly?" Levi looked at the houses, which were like building blocks being easily destroyed by this huge monster, and his heart bleeds.
You know, this is the century-old fiefdom of the Clavel family. It took several generations of the family a long time to manage and build Silver Pine Town into a prosperous place.
But now, it was destroyed by this huge monster.
"Sir Duan, who is only a second-level wizard apprentice, is no match for this monster, let alone us. Moreover, the shell on the surface of this monster is extremely hard. We tried the human wave tactic, but it was meaningless except for increasing casualties." The sheriff Knight Rawlins explained.
After a pause, Knight Rawlins added: "However, Lord Duan has already sent a letter to the Ignis School for help, but I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive."
"Levi, don't be too impatient." The baron said in a low voice.
Baron Clavier's face had aged a lot. A few months ago, when the Ignis School informed the baron that his second son Richard had died in a battle with an underground race, the old baron said nothing.
But for three consecutive days, the old baron did not sleep, but stood blankly in front of the study window.
After Levi comforted his mother, when he went to visit the old baron, he found that his father had aged a lot in an instant. Most of his originally black hair had turned gray in three days. It can be seen how much of a blow the death of his brother Richard had dealt him.
Maybe there has always been a thorn deep in the old baron's heart!
Because he thought he had made a wrong choice, not only did it cost the life of his second son Richard, but he also personally pushed the Clavier family into danger.
Otherwise, if the family still had the promise from wizard Ceres, the monster in front of them could definitely be dealt with easily.
"My Lord Baron, I heard from Lord Duan that even an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice would not be able to defeat this monster. Fortunately, you had the foresight to let me evacuate all the people in the town to the castle. At least there are basically no casualties among the people at present." Knight Rawlins reported.
"By the way, yesterday I arranged three more cavalrymen to report the situation to Earl Harris of Rossby County. I believe that after receiving the news, the Earl will send reinforcements in time."
"Rollins, you think too simply. Not to mention that the road from Silverpine Town to Rossby County has been blocked by monsters that suddenly appeared. Even if the cavalry can arrive smoothly, how can you guarantee that Earl Harris will send reinforcements in time?" The old baron looked ahead and said quietly.
Levi's face immediately changed, and he said, "Father, are you saying that this kind of powerful monster may also appear in other places in Rossby County?"
Rollins's face changed immediately when he heard this. Yes, Earl Harris might be in a very anxious state at this moment.
"Maybe there are some places where the situation is more critical than ours." The old baron nodded.
"Indeed, if it weren't for Lord Duan and these large crossbows in the castle, this monster would have broken through the castle gate a few days ago!" Thinking about the situation at that time, Knight Rollins couldn't help but show a look of fear.
"By the way, how is Lord Duan's injury?" asked the old baron.
Duan had been injured in the battle with the monster a few days ago, and had not recovered from the shock wave generated when the monster's exaggerated large pincers hit the ground.
"The injury is not light, but in another day, he should be able to move without any problems. However, it may be difficult for him to fight!" Levi shook his head and said.
