Chapter 45: A deal that kills two birds with one stone

Teeter Town.

Magic book collection room.

Ever since the misunderstanding that day, Margaret had hardly spoken to Richard. However, whenever Richard came to learn magic, Margaret would stay in the magic book collection room with him.

Richard looked at Margaret's profile, not knowing how to tell her about the magical equipment that could conceal her aura.

However, as Richard kept looking at her, Margaret also discovered that Richard looked at her frequently today.

However, remembering the misunderstanding a few days ago, Margaret decided to maintain her girlish reserve. She picked up a magic book and stopped looking at Richard.

"Well," Richard finally couldn't help but said to Margaret, "Miss Margaret, your magic book is upside down."

"what."

This time Margaret discovered that the book in her hand was actually upside down, and her face turned red with shame and anger.

"No, I'm practicing learning magic backwards."

Learning magic backwards must mean you are not very smart.

Of course, it was impossible for Richard to speak out his thoughts.

"Actually, I have something I want to ask you. Do you have a magical device that can conceal the aura of a wizard?"

Richard asked in a low voice, looking at the blushing girl in front of him.

"Magical equipment that can conceal the aura of a wizard?" Margaret's expression softened. "I do have it. In fact, it is one of the special magical equipment of our Jones family."

Margaret said as she took out the necklace from her chest. On it was a magic crystal that looked like a black diamond.

Dark element magic crystal?

Margaret explained: "However, our family needs dark elemental magic crystals to make this kind of equipment. This magic crystal was obtained by Uncle Fast himself when he killed a monster."

"Actually, one of the reasons why I came to Teet Town is that Aunt Jenny said there are magical beasts with dark elements here."

Richard had a headache. Dark elemental monsters were rarely seen in human settlements in the wizarding world. It was said that they had all fled to the Dark Council in the Western Continent.

Richard himself does not have the ability to kill the Shadow Leopard alone. Richard himself can also use dark stealth. A magical beast that can steal in the dark is a complete nightmare for a lone wizard.

The mage is being chased by an assassin who can turn invisible, and the assassin's health bar is still high. How should he fight?

"I wonder if you are going to sell this magic equipment?"

Although he couldn't afford it with the remaining gold coins, he was able to hunt monsters in another plane. There were quite a few monsters in that plane.

"Do you have any gold coins?" Margaret continued, "This equipment is not cheap. If I meet someone who likes it, it won't be a problem to sell it for 5,000 gold coins."

Five thousand gold coins, why don't you go and rob them?

A necklace that conceals one's aura is worth two Earth Bears. Otherwise, I should just give up. Even if my wizard level is exposed, it shouldn't matter.

"But I won't sell it even if it's 5,000 gold coins."

Margaret smiled. She didn't wear the necklace to hide her wizard aura.

"I asked a jewelry designer for a long time to design this necklace for me. How about it? It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Five thousand gold coins, how can it not be beautiful?

Richard sighed, "It seems that the only way is to go out with the hunting team to hunt monsters and see if there is a chance to kill a shadow leopard."

However, with the hunting team, the magic crystal belongs to the entire team, and according to the recruitment description at the time, the magic crystal was not a priority item for wizards to purchase.

In other words, other members of the hunting team can also bid with Richard.

After going around in circles, I unexpectedly ended up back at the issue of money.

However, there is still a chance. Even if I refine the remaining crystal of divine power and my spiritual power reaches the third level, my magic power will not immediately reach that of a third-level wizard.

I can take this opportunity to hunt blue-horned hippos to get gold coins, but I don’t know if I can hunt the shadow leopard within this time.

Margaret looked at Richard's lost expression and felt something in her heart.

"Actually, I do have an idea."

"What idea?" Richard asked.

"You also know that I am the director of the Futong Chamber of Commerce in Tete Town, but there are more than one town nearby. I also need to open up trade routes to other towns."

"It's just that the lords of those towns have been unwilling to allow people from the Futong Chamber of Commerce to settle in in order to develop their own shops."

Richard was puzzled. The lord of the town was at least of the same level as Viscount Fast, so he had no say.

"If you want to settle in their town, you have to bring them benefits that they can't refuse."

Margaret explained: "It doesn't have to be something very valuable. For example, even if I sold this necklace to these lords for a thousand gold coins, they wouldn't want it."

"On the contrary, no lord would refuse hard currency like enchanted equipment."

Richard frowned, "So, you want me to help you make enchanted equipment? Then use the enchanted equipment to open up trade routes."

"Yes."

Margaret nodded. "I don't need you to make too many. You still have more than two years of service. As long as you consume ten materials every month and sell me all the enchanted equipment you make that exceeds three, I can give you this necklace."

Richard thought about it. Giving away a necklace worth five thousand gold coins for free sounded like a good deal. Besides, Margaret would also spend gold coins to buy the extra enchanted equipment he made. It was really a good deal.

However, it also delayed Richard's meditation time.

Richard did not agree immediately, but continued to ask: "I wonder if Miss Margaret can get the divine power crystal?"

As long as there are enough divine power crystals, it doesn’t matter if I don’t meditate.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Margaret."

Margaret did not answer Richard's question immediately. She had also heard that someone had developed a divine power sensor. At that time, divine power crystals were classified as third-level military equipment and were not allowed to be bought or sold.

However, ever since the creator class of the divine power sensor was punished to the Vanguard Army, the armament level of the divine power crystal has been reduced to level one.

"If I can obtain divine power crystals, I can even make a few more enchanted equipment every month."

Richard saw that there was a chance and pursued the opportunity.

"Sure. If you really need the Divine Power Crystals, we can settle the transaction directly with Divine Power Crystals. One Divine Power Crystal counts as four pieces of enchanted equipment for you."

Margaret's brain was working rapidly. She bought the divine power crystal from the military for 200 gold coins. Even if she had to pay more for the materials to enchant the equipment, she would still make a profit.

"make a deal."

Richard was delighted. Not only did he obtain the magical equipment that could conceal his aura, but he also solved the problem of the divine power crystals at once. This transaction was a two-birds-with-one-stone deal for Richard.
