Lord Highlander

  Chapter 424 423. Shield of the Earth

  The room was very quiet, even the black cat on the top of the bookshelf squinted its eyes, curled up and remained motionless.

The old magician unfolded the twenty-seven black-striped demon skins one by one. He looked at them carefully. Every time he opened a magic skin, his eyes seemed to be ignited with a hot fire. After the skin, the old magician raised his head, looked at Suldak, hesitated for a moment before saying:

"We need to make some systematic pricing for these black-striped magic skins. I can't give a suitable price now. I can only say that they are very valuable, but the life magic lines generated by these black-striped magic skins are Black magic, these black-striped magic skins are banned from sale in the market, so it is difficult to find a corresponding reference price in the magic market of the auction house, and our pricing will be conservative."

  The old magician's frank words made Lance on the side a little embarrassed, and he gave Suldak a slightly apologetic look.

  Then, the old magician carried the stack of black-striped magic skins to a row of shelves, and packed them all into a box.

  Suldak actually felt a faint wave of magic power on this box.

The old magician turned around and said to Suldak: "These life sigils are the direction of exploration for many magic scholars in our magic guild. Under the premise of the same level, the life sigils are far stronger than the magic lines created by magicians." times, so the magic pattern of life has always been one of the main research directions of the magic union, and these black-striped magic skins have complete dominant life magic patterns, so they have huge research value, and each magic skin is very valuable."

   Hearing what the old magician said, Suldak couldn't help asking: "How much magic crystals are these worth?"

The old magician walked back to the square table, sat down again, glanced at Suldak, and said, "I can only say a lot, and I personally don't recommend that you exchange all these black-striped magic skins into magic crystals. You can consider some something more valuable."

   After finishing speaking, he took out the magic scrolls in the barrel again, and casually divided these magic scrolls into two parts and placed them on the desk. The old magician didn't even raise his eyelids, and said dully:

"There are 18 second-level scrolls, each with 1 gold coin, and 7 third-level scrolls, each with 1 magic crystal. Oh me, according to the current exchange rate of gold coins and magic crystals, these scrolls are worth 10 magic crystals in total. , Lion Power Potion and Weak Troll Potion are worth 5 magic crystals, and these magic items are worth fifteen magic crystals..."

After speaking, he picked up a sticky note from the desk, tore off a piece of paper casually, wrote the words 'Pay 15 magic crystals' on it, stamped it, and handed the sticky note to He got to Suldak, and said to Lance: "Lance, you take this knight to the finance department to receive the magic crystal for compensation."

   "Okay, Mr. Nimitz." Lance said respectfully.

   Then the two left the identification room.

  …

  Suldak took fifteen magic crystals and left with Lance from the financial office of the Magic Union. Although I was a little worried that the twenty-seven black-striped magic skins would be swallowed up by the magic union, but at this point, I could only go back and wait for news.

Lance seemed to see the worry in Suldak's heart, and immediately patted his chest to assure him that once the pricing was completed in the appraisal room, the magic spar for compensation would be released immediately. Lou, after a brief 'goodbye', he was busy doing experiments.

  Surdak stood in the corridor and looked around the room. He didn't leave the magic union immediately, but walked along the large turning staircase to the door of Ferdinand's magic laboratory.

   Knock on the door...

  A young female assistant pushed open the door and looked at Surdak suspiciously, asking, "Who are you?"

  Suldak said to the female magic assistant: "I am Suldak, and I am looking for Scholar Ferdinand."

   "Do you have an appointment with the teacher in advance?" The young female assistant narrowed her eyes and stared at Suldak and asked.

  Suldak touched his nose and said, "No... Scholar Ferdinand said that I can come and visit him at any time."

   "Wait a moment!" The female assistant turned and returned.

  Then the door of the laboratory was opened by the female assistant, with a friendly smile on her face, she said to Suldak: "Knight Suldak, please come in!"

Walking into the magic laboratory of Scholar Ferdinand, the room is still the same, the bottles and jars of light green solution are filled with the limbs of various monsters, and the whole room is full of weird smells, Suldak carefully looked at it Glancing at the female assistant, seeing her calmly walking ahead, I felt great admiration for her strong heart.

Scholar Ferdinand was wearing a magic robe and was standing on the test bench, dissecting the corpse of a sub-human kobold with a sharp boning knife. Put a dirty dog's head into a glass jar, put a dirty dog's head in a silver tray, rinse the blood clot-filled abdominal cavity with clean water, then raised his head and smiled at Surdak, looking Touching his leg, he asked, "Knight Suldak, is your leg healed?"

  Suldak walked up to Magician Ferdinand, looked at the hunchbacked body of the kobold on the test bench, and said, "Scholar Ferdinand, my leg injury has completely recovered."

  The female assistant stepped forward to clean up the kobold heads in the silver tray, and her movements were quite skillful.

  Scholar Ferdinand smiled at Suldak: "I thought that I would come to me later, but I didn't expect you to solve the problem yourself."

Suldak said honestly: "At that time, I had already put up a list of buying magic herbs in the trading house, and I just waited for the magic herbs to come to see you. I didn't expect to experience some things during that time. The leg injury was He was healed at that time."

  He didn't want to disclose Selena's information, so he just said it briefly.

  Scholar Ferdinand was not very interested in the treatment process, so he just asked him with a smile: "Are you interested in dissecting this kobold with me? This kobold has been dead for a long time, so the taste may be a bit bad."

   Regarding the bad smell, Suldak didn't notice anything, probably because the smell in this laboratory has always been weird.

Suldak looked at the remnant body of the kobold that had lost its head and internal organs, and saw that Ferdinand was flipping back and forth inside and out. Razor to shave off.

  Suldak asked: "Is this the daily life of your magic research?"

  Scholar Ferdinand laughed, and peeled off the kobold's skin bit by bit with a skinning knife, and said to Surdak:

"Of course, but this kind of dissection does not happen every day. Last month, the Imperial Capital Magic News reported that someone found a hidden life magic pattern on the body of the murloc, and it is the rarest spiritual direction. This life magic pattern is in the The imperial capital sold for a huge price, and now the murlocs in the magic market have been robbed madly, so I spent a gold coin to buy a kobold, and dissected it casually to see if I have such good luck."

  Suldak was a little stunned when he heard it, and thought: because of this, a kobold was dissected?

  Scholar Ferdinand shrugged his shoulders, and said with some regret: "But now there is an answer—that's right! I don't have such good luck."

   "Did you buy this kobold in the market?" Suldak asked.

Scholar Ferdinand said: "That's right! It was obtained at the tavern auction house, and it was shipped from Constantinople. However, during the transportation, the kobold was actually frozen to death. When it arrived in Hailan It was already hard when I was in Sasha, so there is no research value."

Suldak had only seen a lot of adventurers’ brief introductions to the kobold sub-race in some ranger biographies before. In fact, this is the first time I saw a real kobold. It feels like the torso of this kobold is human, but the head and feet are like a dog, and there is a furry tail behind the ass.

  The kobolds, which are less than 1.5 meters long, are emaciated all over. Suldak really wanted to know whether they looked more like humans or dogs.

Scholar Ferdinand saw that Suldak was not affected by the smell, so he looked at the kobolds on the test bench seriously, and continued to introduce Suldak: "These sub-human kobolds are abundant in the western mining area. Yes, they are usually in the abandoned mining area, and slave traders are more willing to sell these kobolds to some big mine owners, after all, there are only a few of them for research.”

Unexpectedly, these kobolds could actually serve as mine slaves. Surdak thought that there was a sulfur mine in his territory on Bump Mountain. Maybe there was a chance to buy some kobold miners back, and it seemed that these kobold slaves were not too expensive.

Scholar Ferdinand discarded the mutilated body of the kobold, and then carried the head of the kobold cleaned by the female assistant to the experimental table with one hand, and stroked the nose of the kobold twice with a scalpel, his eyebrows beaming. Said to Suldak:

   "This kobold is born with an extremely sensitive sense of smell. Are you interested in trying to transplant a kobold's nose?"

  Suldak shook his head vigorously, expressing that he had no such interest.

Scholar Ferdinand laughed, processed the kobold's head a little bit, sealed it in a jar, and then carried the glass jar to the shelf in the laboratory, and explained to Surdak very excitedly that these sub-human races are actually There are many advantages, the nose of the kobold has a dog-like sense of smell, the ears of a wolf man have a keen sense of hearing, and the gills of a murloc have the ability to breathe underwater.

Scholar Ferdinand proudly showed off to Suldak that he had successfully transplanted a kobold nose to an old man who had lost his sense of smell, allowing him to have a dog-like sense of smell. Erchun became a very famous local guide. He also transplanted a jackal ear to a deaf man. In the following years, that man often couldn't sleep because of the sound of two young people fighting in the neighbor's house in the middle of the night...

  Suldak was a little dumbfounded when he heard these anecdotes, and then Scholar Ferdinand urged him whether he needed to undergo physical transformation.

The current Ferdinand scholar is obviously not satisfied with transplanting the unique parts of the sub-human race to the human body. He already has a crazier idea. He wants to transplant some special parts of the Warcraft body to the human body, so it needs a stronger carrying capacity. He is planning to transplant the eyes of the bald eagle into the eye socket of the archer, so that the archer can have the power of eagle eyes, and maybe he can grow into a marksman in this way.

   For this reason, he has prepared the eyeballs of two different eagle-like monsters, but he has not been able to find a suitable person to transplant them.

Suldak said: "Scholar Ferdinand, I just want to know some knowledge about magicweave breeding equipment. If you want to find this kind of person who is suitable for transplanting eagle eyes, you might as well go to the battlefield of the plane, where there are almost every day. There are wounded, some warriors with wounded eyes, who may agree to restore the light with your help..."

   "You really have a good idea!" Scholar Ferdinand clapped his hands, his eyes lit up.

  He stared at a pair of big eyes, and said: "Why didn't I think before that the laboratory should be moved to the battlefield! It seems that I should make a good plan..."

Scholar Ferdinand then said to Suldak: "About magicweave cultivation, this is the field that wizards of some remote tribes and conjurers who are proficient in dark magic are best at, and few magicians in the Grimm Empire are proficient in this field." , although the magic guild invests a huge amount of manpower and material resources in researching the magic pattern of life every year, but...in fact, the magic guild rejects the magic pattern clothing very much, because the magic pattern clothing will impact the inscription industry of the magic guild, everyone just wants to master the life magic pattern, and Use this magic pattern on the magic pattern structure..."

  Scholar Ferdinand told Suldak a lot about this aspect of knowledge, and his field of expertise is transplanting part of monsters into humans, so he also has very deep insights into the implantation of magic skin into the body.

  Then the two talked about the so-called carrying capacity. Scholars Ferdinand admired young knights like Suldak who were studious and did not reject his research, and hoped to cooperate in this area in the future.

  Suldak could only respond with 'hehe'.

  When Suldak was about to say goodbye and leave, Scholar Ferdinand also gave Suldak a bottle of strengthening potion with certain magical ingredients, which is said to be able to improve the body's carrying capacity to a certain extent.

  …

   A week later, the compensation from the magic union was also issued, and the young magician Lance personally told Suldak the good news.

The result also shocked Suldak. In addition to a large amount of magic spar, the magic union actually compensated Suldak with a set of magic patterns of the "Earth Shield". Suldak was walking his horse in the outer circle of the Cavaliers training ground.

  When I heard Lance say this, I thought I had heard it wrong, and felt like a pie in the sky.

   Unexpectedly, a set of expensive magic pattern configurations would appear just like this.

  Originally he planned to raise a little more money, so he took the base material of those salamander leather armors and found an inscriber to customize some parts of the magic pattern structure. Now it seems that the plan has not changed quickly...
