Weird Wizarding World

Following the guidance of the map, Colin walked into the corridor, turned at the second intersection, and came to a store on the far left that specialized in purchasing witchcraft crystals.

The store was very crowded, more like a warehouse than a store, and very deserted...

But it's normal to be deserted. After all, wizards come to the ship market to buy things they can't usually buy.

As for witchcraft crystals, there is a place to buy them on the island.

"This store buys witchcraft crystals, not sells witchcraft crystals." Seeing him come in, the boss, half-lying behind the counter, said calmly.

He has been to Blackstone Island many times, and no one here would come to the ship to sell witchcraft crystals... The gray-robed wizard who walked in must have gone to the wrong place.

Colin remained silent, took off the large bag he was carrying, placed it on the counter, and then opened it with his hands.

Wow——

Nearly a thousand bright crystals accumulated in a month were scattered, falling on the counter and reflecting the light.

Although the total value of this pile of bright crystals is only about 90 magic stones, when they are brought together, they are truly spectacular.

Although the boss had experienced many battles and was not too shocked, he still raised his eyebrows slightly. He stood up and came to Colin.

"Are they all bright crystals?" He picked up a white bright crystal and asked.

"Yes, nine hundred in total."

The boss nodded slightly, took out a huge flat-bottomed tray, poured all the bright crystals on the counter into it, spread them out, and lowered his head to evaluate them.

Only a minute later, he raised his head, took off the single round-rimmed glasses on his left eye, and said to Colin:

"Well, that's right, nine hundred in total. The quality is quite good...it's considered to be first-rate."

"The price I'm giving you here is the total..." He looked at young Colin, and suddenly his heart moved. He paused and asked again: "Did you make all these bright crystals?"

Colin looked at the boss slightly, and then replied calmly:

"I did it."

The boss smiled and took the initiative to explain: "I'm just curious... about the bright crystals here, I can give you a total of ninety-nine magic stones."

Ninety-nine magic stones, which is nine more magic stones than selling on the island.

Colin was not in a hurry to rejoice, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the price?"

The boss still had that friendly smile, and he continued: "There is no price, it's just a verbal agreement of mutual benefit."

"All I need is that you accumulate the witchcraft crystals you make every year and sell them to me when the caravan arrives. I will buy them at this price."

He didn't wait for Colin to respond before adding:

"I understand Blackstone Island. If nothing changes in the past six months, you can only sell these 900 magic stones on the island for 90 magic stones, which is 9 magic stones less than the price I gave.

Moreover, I think... there is probably a reason why you did not choose to sell on the island..."

Colin's heart trembled, and he became wary as he watched the smiling face of his boss. In this world, there is really no one who can become a wizard.

However, he had expected this and was not too surprised. Anyway, the most the boss can think of is this.

"Whether you are being acquired at a lower price or being refused acquisition, no matter what, there is always a reason for you to come to the ship to sell." The boss added, "But I don't care about these reasons. I will spend ninety-nine magic stones to acquire your light. Crystal, in some places, I can make it add a zero at the end!”

"So don't think I have ulterior motives. Although you are just a human being, mosquito legs are also meat... Don't believe it either. Although bright crystals are common, there happen to be places where there are neither crystal mines nor are they particularly in need of light. Ten times more light. The price is not an exaggeration!”

After saying this, the boss couldn't help but pause and said with some pride:

“This is the charm of ocean trade!”

After speaking, he looked at Colin with a calm expression.

He really didn't have anything else on his mind, he just mentioned it casually. For a businessman like him, he is not afraid of many roads, but afraid of few roads, so he will not take the narrow road...

"Deal." Colin said solemnly.

A skilled smile appeared on the boss's face, he put away the bright crystal, counted out a hundred magic stones and handed them to Colin.

"With one extra magic stone, I think it's a good start for the first transaction," he said with a smile.

Colin took the magic stone, his heart became lighter, and he casually replied: "I wish you a lot of money on this voyage."

"Thank you." The boss smiled and said, "You don't have to be too envious..."

Colin paused, said nothing, and just walked quickly towards the door.

But the boss stopped him again.

Maybe it's because long-term sailing at sea makes people feel lonely, or maybe they feel the need to connect with new partners.

In short, the boss seemed to have opened up the chat box, and then talked to him a lot.

At first, Colin was impatient. But the boss’s verbose words do contain a lot of experience and knowledge he gained during ocean voyages.

These were the knowledge he lacked, so later, he even took the initiative to chat with his boss, trying to focus the topic on what he was interested in.

"... If you want to become an affiliated merchant like me, it's easy. I know the director of the Black Pearl Caravan. As long as 30,000 magic stones are needed, I can get you a name in the caravan. Then you will spend more money every time. For the sailing fee of five thousand magic stones, you can have a warehouse like mine on the ship..."

Colin chatted patiently with him for a long time before standing up to say goodbye.

After walking out of the shop, he came to a corner, unfolded the map on the first floor of the deck, determined the location, and walked quickly forward.

It was not too early to come here, and I had just chatted with the owner of the Witchcraft Crystal Shop for a long time. It was almost 6 o'clock, and night was about to fall.

As soon as the sun goes down, the shipping market will be closed, or the entire fleet will be closed to resist the weird horrors, monsters and ghosts hidden in the darkness of the sea.

So, you have to hurry up!

Not long after, he came to the middle of the first floor of the entire deck. In front of him was a special cabin that was obviously several times larger than other cabins. The outer wall at the door had "Black Pearl Bookstore" written in large characters.

He is here to complete the second goal he set - to obtain the knowledge to advance to a formal wizard!

It's never too early to prepare for a rainy day... However, I just don't know if I can buy relevant knowledge with these magic stones.

When he entered the store, he had nothing to hide and asked directly to the clerk:

"Excuse me, is there any relevant knowledge here about advancing to a formal wizard?"

Hearing his question, the clerk was obviously startled, but he didn't think much about it, but his attitude was more respectful. After all, they have encountered wild wizards who purchased this knowledge on many islands.

For wild wizards, it is normal to have no systematic knowledge and not know how to go forward.

Thinking about it, the gray-robed wizard in front of him was obviously in the same situation.

"Yes," the clerk said, "Do you need a complete set of advanced knowledge, or just an overview of advanced wizards?"

"What's the difference between the two?" Colin pondered for a moment and asked calmly.

He was only wearing the most ordinary gray robe today, and the badge of the school on his chest had been taken off. Before that, he had been looking around for a long time not far away, making sure that there were no other island apprentices in the store before he walked in. .

"The complete set of advanced knowledge includes meditation methods, etc. The overview is just a general summary of the advanced wizard.

You can understand it this way, the former is a detailed and specific set of knowledge for advancing to a formal wizard, while the latter is a summary overview of most of the processes for advancing to a formal wizard. "

Colin nodded, touched the bulging money bag in his arms, and asked, "How many magic stones do these two have?"

"The complete set of advanced knowledge is fifty thousand magic stones, and the summary is three hundred and fifty magic stones."

The clerk replied kindly.
