Mage Joan

Chapter 51: Expensive "identification"

The word "Hyóla" means "horn" in elven language, and many spells of communication and communication use this word as the starting character.

Joan’s Ring 0 “Communication” at the moment is a first-level communication spell that can pass the caster’s words a hundred feet away, and only a few recipients designated by the caster can hear his whisper.

The communication distance of this spell is too close, it is usually suitable for indoor secret communication. For example, when a meeting is held, small groups under the stage can use this spell to form a "private chat group", even if they speak bad things in front of the speaker on the podium without worrying about being heard by the other party.

Joan casts this spell at this moment in order to talk to Kandy across the wall. At first glance, it seems that this is simply superfluous, so close, it is not easier to open the door and yell than tossing the spell? Joan's move is mainly to try the magic of this new society, and there is another reason why he does not want to admit that he and people-especially girls of the same age like Kandy-always inexplicable anxiety when face to face Tension, and indirect communication by means of writing letters or spell transmission, because there is sufficient time to consider the wording in advance, plus there is no need to face a living person, his emotions will be much smoother, and the words he says are more Organize.

"I'm going to Dr. Kelandier's laboratory, and I sleep there at night." Joan pinched the trembling copper wire, thinking for a while, then added: "Come back to dinner tomorrow morning, good night."

The copper wire resonated with Joan's words like a tiny tuning fork until he finished. After a brief silence, the copper wire trembled again, and at the same time, Joan's ear rang softly.

"Got it! Wait a minute, I'm going to visit Mr. Tyre, then go to the woods to see Mila and Gray and come back to sleep. You should pay attention to safety in the laboratory, rest early and see you tomorrow."

Joan nodded as if Kandy was right in front of him. Waited another minute, and no other words came. Joan folded the copper wire into a coil and stuffed it into his pocket. He carried his linen shoulder bag out of the door.

At this time, it was about eight o'clock in the evening, and under the gloomy night, there were few pedestrians on the street. Joan hurried across the street to the laboratory set up by Mr. Kairandil in the northeast corner of the town. This is a detached wooden house far away from the residential area. Behind it is the Dring River. The risks of alchemy experiments are well known. The laboratory is located in a remote area near the river. For safety reasons, in case of an explosion Neither will it affect the townspeople.

Joan pulled out the key to open the door, walked into the laboratory, and lit the candlestick. The neat laboratory bench is full of various glassware, and the rows of test tubes and beakers glow like a jewel under the candlelight. However, when Joan took out the big pearl gifted from Nickel from his jacket pocket, these glassware immediately became eclipsed compared with the real orb.

Joan walked to the experiment table and put the pearl into the mortar. Picking up the stone pestle, he looked hesitant.

In these days, in addition to the 0-ring tricks such as luminosity, repair, and communication, he also devotes a lot of energy to learning the newly acquired 1st-level spells, including magic weapons, magic missiles, electric claws, and identification techniques. The first priority is "identification".

As the name implies, "appraisal" is a spell to identify magic items. This spell is special. The normal casting time takes 1 minute. If it is combined with a 10-minute casting ritual, the spell will retain two additional benefits while retaining its original function-no need to consume the spell slot, and no need to prepare in advance .

Joan now only has two 1st-level spell slots, which naturally saves money. Besides, the identification technique is not a combat spell. It takes no more than ten minutes to cast the spell. What really makes Joan feel the pressure is that this spell requires quite a lot of casting materials and ritual details: each casting requires at least one pearl, broken into a powder, mixed into wine, and fully stirred with an owl feather drink.

pearl……?

That's right, every time you cast an appraisal technique, you must consume at least one pearl. What's more terrible is that the appraisal effect is closely related to the quality of the pearl. The information identified by using inferior pearls is more vague, and may even cause the spell to fail. According to the advice given in the spellbook, a pearl worth 100 gold is a safer choice.

Joan had three unidentified magic items from the Lizardman Shaman, so it would logically require three ordinary pearls worth 100 gold coins, or... a large pearl worth 300 gold coins.

Joan was hesitant to play with the beautiful and round pearl in his hand. 300 gold coins is not a small number for his embarrassing economic status. If the value of the identified items can't catch up with this pearl, wouldn't it be a loss?

Joan's eyes turned to the experimental bench. On the stage were two small medicine bags made of snakeskin and a leather belt engraved with magic runes. These three things are all the loot that he and Gray obtained from killing the Lizardman Shaman Chud in the swamp a week ago. Joan can sense the magic fluctuations from it, but he can’t see what magic effect is contained. In this case Next, the "appraisal technique" is the best choice to solve the mystery-the premise is that the value of the item to be identified is at least not less than that pearl.

"No matter how much!"

Joan finally couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity, throwing the pearl into the mortar and smashing it up with the pestle.

Snapped! The pearl shattered, and Joan's heart twitched. Strongly endure regret grinding the pearls until the original full and round orb is ground into an off-white powder.

Joan poured the powder out of the mortar, put it in a glass beaker, then poured in white wine, and gently stirred with owl feathers until the liquid in the cup became cloudy. Throwing away his feathers, Joan drank the mixed liquid from the cup, and it felt like drinking a cup of spicy mud, and the rubbed throat was slightly tingling.

Joan put down the glass and wiped the corner of his mouth. Don't forget to recall this 300-gold cocktail, and immediately start the appraisal spell-casting ceremony.

With the spell-casting gestures for a long time to chant the spell, it is a great test of the caster's spirit and physical fitness. Fortunately, Joan's concentration is strong enough, and his physical condition can also afford a ten-minute spell-casting ceremony. Eventually, he completed this quite complicated spell.

The effectiveness of alcohol and pearls did not appear until now. Joan got a little drunk and the objects in front of him became hazy. At the same time, strange illusions appeared in front of him, some objects became particularly dim in his field of vision, and some objects exuded bright brilliance-such as Two medicine bags and a belt placed on the experimental table at the moment.
