Chapter 20
Chapter 19: Your Magic Circle, Is It Exploding?
The first topic of the tomato brisket meeting was the current financial status of the three.
Sigrid, who was in charge of the daily affairs of the three, took out the cloth bag containing the silver coins and shook it on the table.
All kinds of metal currencies are crackling down, and at first glance, people will feel rich.
However, these currencies are just a bunch of coins, which are between copper, silver, or some currencies below copper.
In Yas King City, the consumption here is lower than in the border area.
This is not a joke, but it is based on the fact that Yas King City has a special tax officer to manage, and will not arbitrarily increase prices and charge fees.
The small town in the Earl of Nott that Lu Yu arrived at after passing through is a very rare case.
Sigrid untied another bag of money from her waist, and there was only the last silver coin in it.
“The silver coins that the master’s friend from the white wolf found were inferior silver coins made by the local lords when the Yas Kingdom was not established, so the final exchange rate was close to three to one.”
“The rent, the purchase of food that can be stored for about ten days, the magic materials needed by the two masters, these expenses have emptied our wallets.”
“If we can’t find a way to get money this month, then we’ll have to change places to rent… The host’s play is not very good to continue.”
The Yas Kingdom basically does not circulate gold coins, and very few gold coins are in the hands of several great nobles and royal families, so silver coins are the currency with the largest denomination they can use.
Whether it was for future travel or for the present, Lu Yu had to replace it with something very valuable and light enough to take away before leaving Yas Kingdom.
Lulutis said that there are many things on gold coins that can only be traded by barter… I don’t know if there is a way to get some.
“Money… Write it down first, this problem can be solved soon.”
“The money is still under your control, and the priority is to ensure the food. As for the magic materials…”
“Lulutis, don’t stand still, talk!”
“Ah? What do you want me to say, this is your responsibility, right?”
Lulutis resolutely implements the idea of Lu Yu leading the team on the way home and does not waver.
“Tell me, are the things you bought enough for Sigrid’s budget.”
“It should be, anyway, the basic materials to wake you up are absolutely enough, and the excess can be used to make some scrolls and potion mixtures for backup.”
Lulutis pondered for a while, “I want to buy some things to try to lift some basic seals, but I can’t buy them basically.”
“Can’t you buy it without money or can’t you buy it with money?” Lu Yu asked.
“All of them. For example, I need the magic core of Starlight Slime. I don’t think I can easily find or buy it in the surrounding kingdoms where the highest-level magician is only fifth-level.”
Lulutis’ plan was to purchase all the materials used for the experiment that day, and re-refining it. Through the reactions that occurred during the refining, he analyzed the potion that could remove the black mist from his body.
As for the magic power that has been sealed, she needs some more complex composite materials to release, or rely on some external stimulation to loosen the seal.
Both of these can be tried simultaneously. After all, it is possible to restore the magic power, and the body of the black mist can also be restored to its original state, and vice versa.
The most troublesome thing is the seal effect of the ninth-order magician on his body. Whether it can be lifted or not, Lulutis really has no idea.
She can only hope that after recovering the magic power of the seventh-order magician, she can break it with brute force.
Seeing that Lu Yu and Lulutis had nothing to add, Sigrid wrote her own summary after the word property written on the paper: diligence and thrift.
After thinking for a while, Sigrid added a line.
“If the two masters can be diligent and thrifty…”
The second issue is the direction of travel.
Lu Yu walked to the map hanging on the wall in the hall.
This map records the three countries around the Yas Kingdom, as well as some weak and weak territories that are attached to the three countries.
“Sigrid and I asked many adventurers in the royal city, and they all said that they had never heard of the Solon Empire.”
“Not only that, but what you have provided is unknown to the Sea of Secret Light, the Sligo Empire, and the Holy Nation of Silver Maple.”
Lulutis had already guessed that the flow of magic power from the explosion greatly increased the effect of the teleportation scroll, but she had no idea how strong the effect was and how much distance it covered.
Now no one knows where the Solon Empire is, which makes it difficult to decide where to go after the Kingdom of Yas.
Both Lulutis and Sigrid were staring at Lu Yu, eager to see if he could do anything better.
“If you really can’t find any news, then buy a dice and come back.”
Under the habit of thinking, Lulutis thought that the dice had some magical use in Lu Yu’s world, and couldn’t wait to ask: “What are you going to do?”
Lu Yu was very puzzled by Lulutis’s full of curiosity. Could it be that people in this world have never played running groups?
“It’s really at that point, tossing the dice to decide where to go, what do you think I’m going to do?”
Sigrid wrote on the paper: “One dice…the sides are to be determined.”
Seeing the tentacles that Lulutis stretched out to her master, Sigrid pondered.
“Lord Lulutis has a lot of hands. You can buy more dice and throw them at the same time to see the hints given by the gods.”
The third issue is security.
Since we are going to live in this house for a while, safety issues must be taken into account.
There should be warning magic in all directions of the house and courtyard, and there should be all kinds of obstacles that can create movement.
At the gate, under each window, a one-time-triggered trap magic should be arranged.
This is not enough!
In order to prevent someone from possessing a magic-sensing device or a more advanced anti-magic item, it is necessary to purchase traps for dealing with monsters.
These traps are placed one by one, let Lulutis bind with a special magic mark, and confirm that it cannot be touched without the corresponding magic mark. Only then can the basic security work be completed.
“You are the foundation?” Lulutis was stunned.
In the tree hole, Lulutis found that Lu Yu was meticulous in ensuring his own safety.
It now appears that this assessment is wrong.
He is not meticulous, he is stubborn!
Shudong had no foundation, no environment, and no materials, so he couldn’t conceive and arrange more subtle preventive measures.
Now that he was in this house, he immediately entered the state.
“Don’t use a word you’ve learned from me and use it indiscriminately. I’m not trying to do this, it’s just to prevent problems before they happen.”
“You can’t sacrifice Sigrid’s rest time and let her run up in the middle of the night to check the situation around.”
“Besides, Sigrid is only at the level of an adventurer of the white wood level. Taking a dragon to take risks is dangerous and hurts the body. Our combat power is now seriously insufficient, and we must protect ourselves with foreign objects.”
“It’s never wrong to be careful.”
Although Sigrid didn’t know what Lulutis said… But seeing her master arguing with Black Mist, she probably knew that Lulutis felt that her master was being too cautious.
Sigrid intervened in their discussion, smiling awkwardly but politely.
“I support the master’s idea, it’s really right to take precautions before it happens.”
As expected of the servant I liked, he was indeed on my side!
Lu Yu’s pride didn’t last for a second.
Sigrid’s fair little hand stretched out in front of Lu Yu.
“Master, please give me money, so I can buy the items you mentioned.”
Issue three is the security issue, and in the end it is the financial issue of issue one.
“Don’t worry, someone will send us money.”
Sigrid, who was in charge of recording, stopped.
“Send money?”
“Yes, send money.” Lu Yu did not explain too much, but instructed, “In order to ensure that someone will send us money, I need you to go to the Adventurer’s Guild to conduct an assessment of white wood-level adventurers.”
“It’s time…” Lu Yu glanced at Lulutis, “It will be tomorrow.”
After the meeting, Sigrid went to her room on the second floor and started acting practice in front of the mirror.
Lulutis rolled a large bag with her tentacles and led Lu Yu into the basement next to the clock tower.
There is only one entrance and exit in the basement, which is about 30 square meters, and there is a table, several rows of bookshelves, and nothing else.
Because there are several hidden vents, it is not particularly stuffy.
I’m really curious about what kind of potions the group of murderous magicians are preparing here.
Besides, are magicians all thick lines?
Shouldn’t protective measures be taken for the preparation of dangerous chemicals?
What gas masks, protective suits… oh, maybe not here.
How many times should a certain defensive magic be applied first?
If not, UU reading www.uukanshu.com outdoor deployment will not poison itself.
But seeing Lulutis beside him with his tentacles fiddling with various magic equipment, Lu Yu was relieved.
A seventh-order magician can blow himself up like this, and a first-order magician poisoning himself is really not a big news.
Lulutis’ tentacles dipped in slime’s slurry and painted on the ground.
A circular array with a complex pattern gradually took shape.
Thank goodness, the ninth-order magician created this seal magic without distorting the pattern.
But this is what Lu Yu is curious about.
Is it because he can’t do it, or is it a flaw he deliberately left?
“There are many ways to awaken. The material I use is the most common slime slurry. Most of them have an innate affinity for magic.”
“Using their slurries as a medium, people without magic power can easily feel the traces of magic power, and then touch the ubiquitous magic power.”
“Thank you Slime, Lu Yu.”
Lu Yu bowed slightly respectfully.
They should be thankful. During the days of surviving in the tree hole, they spent a hard time eating slime.
Now their bodies will help Lu Yu on the road to becoming a magician.
“I don’t know if slimes can be pets. If so, would you like to raise one to repay?” Lu Yu was thinking wildly.
“Into the magic circle.”
Lu Yu was about to lift his foot to step in when a question came to his mind.
“It won’t explode, will it?”
“…”
“…”
“Can you get in?” Lulutis gritted her teeth.
“If you don’t explode, I’ll definitely go in!”
