The Whispering Verses Chapter 2651: “Shopping”

Chapter 2650 "Shopping"

"Timestamp?"

The red-haired girl by the fire asked:

"This seems to be a new concept, I have never heard of it."

"This is a concept defined by ourselves: each individual exists at the correct point in time, and this point in time is the timestamp of the individual. Of course, the timestamp changes in real time, because the time to which the individual belongs is one minute. The seconds are increasing. The introduction of this concept does not make much sense, just treat it as 'correct time'."

Mr. Davis said:

"For this reason, do not use 'Beacon Acorn' at a time that does not belong to you. After all, if you use it after time travel, then everyone after time travel will theoretically have a different 'time stamp' from yours."

"Beacon Acorn", "Oak Lucky Potion", "Empty Bottle Fruit" and even "Time Stabilizing Anchor" are all items in the list of items for sale listed by [Forest Hermits] to Shade. Based on Shade's current reputation among the hermits, this should already be most of the salable items owned by the hermits.

Among them, "Time Anchor" is not the most expensive, but "Lucky Potion" is the most expensive. But other items can accept cash transactions, only the "Time Anchor" can only be exchanged for relics.

This item itself is not a relic, but its excellent effects do have the value of a relic. In addition to suppressing the time curse, Shade even thought that after members of the [Tree Hole Association] wore it, the "rapid curse" would definitely be suppressed.

So he discussed it with Miss Danister, and finally Shade handed over the Marquis Morson who he and Mr. Bernhardt made a "horse heart" joke to in Moon Bay City. The poet-level relic [Noble Blood Red] obtained there.

This is a reconnaissance relic that can transform into a small bat to share the field of vision with itself, but many thaumaturgy techniques can achieve the same effect. Shade originally wanted to give it to Agelina if he had the chance, but now it seems that the little princess will not be able to get it.

The additional "time anchor" belongs to "Miss Owl", and she also needs this.

In addition to the stabilizing anchor, it is always a good idea to have two bottles of "Oak's Luck Potion", a magic potion that can increase luck. Although there is a chance of entering the angelic relic [Emerald Dream] after drinking the potion, this is not a bad negative effect.

It's a pity that this kind of potion cannot be used frequently, and Shade has already used it once this year, so he just bought a small bottle and gave it to Miss Danister.

It’s not that they don’t want to buy more, it’s that the hermits are only willing to sell one bottle. Their asking price is 100 crowns, which is about 1,300 to 1,500 gold pounds. Earlier this year, the price of the small bottle that Old John sold to Shade was only 132 pounds (Chapter 1169).

For a while, Shade thought that Old John had subsidized the difference in expenses last time, but when the hermits got the bottle, Shade found that the potion contained much more than what Old John sold him. Only then did I realize that the old man at the **** shop had sold the potions separately.

"Beacon Acorn", a strange item used to detect time travellers, naturally needs to be purchased. It is different from the "Empty Bottle Fruit" which is a relic derivative and the "Lucky Potion" which is a magical item. , Beacon Acorn is an extraordinary material born purely naturally.

"We found a peculiar area covered with oak trees in the forest. Anyone who enters that area will passively know the current precise time. This is somewhat similar to the effect of thaumaturgy's time perception', but leaving that area This ability will be lost after the area is cleared.

The beacon acorns are all produced from oak trees in that forest. Of course, we have also treated the acorns to amplify their sensing capabilities. ”

This kind of acorns are very durable, so the hermits have a lot of them in stock. The hermits also rely on these acorns to find ordinary people like Baron Cumming who travel through time.

The price of acorns is 1 crown, 6 pieces, which is about 2 gold pounds each. Although this is still expensive, it is very cheap for foreigners who are no longer poor.

It’s just that unlike the acorns used by Father Francois, which can last for a month, the acorns purchased by Shade can only be effective for 24 hours. This duration is related to the growth conditions of the acorn itself. , the one eaten by Father Francois was obviously more precious.

The size of the Acorn's perception range is linked to the user's own perception ability.

Shade finally bought 30 pills, and the hermits also reminded Shade that this kind of thing should not be used frequently:

"Their detection effects are quite mentally taxing."

"It doesn't matter, there are many of us."

Shad was not worried about this, and then studied other contents of the list with Miss Denister.

The hermits not only peddle potions and alchemical items, they also peddle a few relics, some lore of the circle sorcerers, and some interesting secrets.

A piece of [Eternal Youth Leaf] actually appeared among the relics, and just like Carina once said, the price of this poet-level relic is far higher than that of normal poet-level relics. Of course, Shade wouldn't buy it.

In addition, Shade also saw a poet-level relic [Cat and Dog Coin] in the list.

??????55.??????

Luvia once took out this relic, which looked like a pound-sized gold coin with the words "Cat and Dog, You and Me" engraved on the side.

Luvia herself said that this relic was cast by the devil. If you give the coin to any cat or dog, you can gain complete control over it before death. But after all the masters and servants die, the demon will take away the soul of one of them, and this decision is decided by the enslaved person.

"Why did you buy this?"

Miss Danister asked curiously, but Shade smiled and did not explain.

The ring sorcerer's knowledge includes basic thaumaturgy and incantation, but there are also a few unique secrets mastered by the hermits themselves. Most of the spells are related to "luck" and "trees", and Shade cannot learn it before he gets the miracle of the time key reward - [tree].

"Most of the magic spells that apply luck here require [luck] or [destiny] spiritual runes. Luvia will be very interested in this. Oh, magic berry magic, Dorothy knows this (Chapter 1030) .

Ordinary magic berries that heal and restore physical strength and satiety, blue magic berries that store one's own soul, purple magic berries that restore mental strength, and green magic berries that improve toxin resistance. This magical technology has been developed so much. Variant huh? Magicberry bomb? Is this okay? ”

Shad looked at the lists of thaumaturgy, thinking about choosing gifts for Luvia and Dorothy, and also planning to choose interesting powers for himself.

Among the thaumaturgy related to trees, [Call the Tree Man] is a summoning spell, and there are also advanced thaumaturgy to summon more powerful tree shepherds and even "war tree men";

[Thorn Storm] is a field-type thaumaturgy. Large sharp thorns grow from the soil to cover the surface, limiting the movement speed of enemies in the area and causing physical and poison damage. Shade's [Thorns of the Moon] spiritual rune was affected by the "Shadow of the Moon" and could be regarded as a "thorn", so he could learn this, but Shade did not buy it after considering it.

[Forest Barrier] is a defensive thaumaturgy, throwing out a small piece of wood to form a strong and reliable wall shield. Although this kind of shield cannot be moved after it appears, its defensive effect is said to be quite good.

In short, Shade was still very interested in unfamiliar knowledge, but in the end the thaumaturgy he chose was the thaumaturgy [Forest Path] corresponding to the new enlightenment rune - [Direction].

This unique thaumaturgy requires not only [direction] but also space talent. Thaumaturgy can only work in the "wild forest" site. The specific effect is to create a trail. Crossing the trail can shorten the time required to move forward in the forest. distance.

When moving on the path, the outside world can observe the caster, but in their opinion, the caster is just walking. Even if they follow the footsteps of the caster, they cannot take this "shortcut" like him.

Of course, the caster can also use direct contact methods such as "holding hands", "hugging", "backing", etc. to let fellow travelers walk on the trail with him.

Strictly speaking, this is not a "space jump" because during the use of thaumaturgy, people on the road can see the caster, so this ability can only be classified as a "space-like" ability.

Of course, this ability is very important for Shade who needs to walk through the forest every day. Even if the time saved is not particularly large, it is better than always wasting time on repeated journeys.

What Shade didn’t expect was that Miss Danister also chose a thaumaturgy. However, she chose not the most expensive high-level thaumaturgy "Wrath of Nature" on the list, but the spell "Binding Eyes with Leaves".

To use this spell, you need to place a leaf in front of your eyes, and then you can make yourself invisible. Although Shade has not seen this kind of spell anywhere else, it is still a relatively basic auxiliary spell. Miss Daniste probably wants to use this to improve her illusion skills.

However, Shade noticed that these lists of thaumaturgy spells did not include the "natural transformation" and the method of communicating with the power of the forest that the hermits were most good at.

Those powers are the real secrets of the hermits. Unless Shade is willing to join them and live here from now on, there is no way for him to learn them even if his reputation in the hermits is high.

As for the secrets that the Hermits are willing to sell, most of them are related to this woodland. They sell detailed topographical maps of Vesta Grove, which include most of the "mysterious areas" of the woodland discovered by the Hermits.

"But I want to remind you."

Hearing that Shad wanted to buy a map, Mr. Meloni, the "Keeper of Secrets" reminded:

"Even though we have been stationed in this woodland for so many years, our understanding of this forest is definitely less than 10%. The woodland itself is hiding its own secrets. This is also to prevent those sealed paradox insects from escaping.

This map is for reference only. Don’t think that with the map you can move around in the forest at will. ”

In addition to marking the location information of the Hermit Group, the map also marks the locations of a small number of tree holes where "space jumps" can be achieved. Of course, if Shade wanted to know the origin of these strange tree holes, he would have to spend money to buy additional information.
