Richard felt uneasy when he returned to his dormitory again.
The sudden huge energy fluctuations, the southwest direction, the first appearance of a great wizard whom he had never seen before, etc., all made him feel that there was a sign of an impending crisis.
This made Richard start to think carefully. In the southwest direction, there seemed to be the Spider Trail. Could it be because of the drow elves?
That's not necessarily true, because last time I heard from Teacher Ceres that the place has been sealed by the school.
Moreover, when it comes to this kind of problem involving the school and the drow elves, I am just an insignificant shrimp. What I can do now is to improve my combat effectiveness as much as possible to cope with the uncertain future.
It seems that I have to hurry to the trading area now.
The first is the zero-level witchcraft of summoning skeletons. It is best to buy a crystal ball with a summoning array printed on it. Although there is no process of hand-drawing the array with your own blood and ethereal ink, which will lead to increased mental power consumption during summoning, but compared to the speed of casting, this mental power consumption is insignificant.
It is impossible for Richard to draw the summoning circle in advance every time and summon the enemy immediately when he comes. This is unrealistic.
The best way is to imprint the summoning array into a crystal ball, and then find an inlay artist to inlay the crystal ball on your Banshee's Finger.
In the middle of the Banshee's finger's bony palm, there is a depression for five fingers to clench, which is more than enough to hold a crystal ball!
In this way, his own level 0 witchcraft to summon skeletons can be completed within two or three seconds, and its practicality is greatly improved.
This is also the most commonly used method for second and third level wizard apprentices who prefer summoning magic.
Secondly, it is about the raw materials for alchemical bombs, such as the flame flowers, broken star wood, and sulfur bricks of the Fire Dancing Star bomb; the silver flakes, moonstone, charcoal powder, etc. of the Silver Moon Dust, all of which need to be purchased in part.
Thinking of this, Richard quickly counted the magic stones on hand, including the small bag of magic stones he got from Seymour last time, totaling to 248 magic stones.
There were two other bottles of potions, one was a sleeping potion, and he could now easily identify the other one, which was the vitality potion that the winner of the competition could receive.
Among some scattered spellcasting materials, he also saw bone powder, which is the indispensable witchcraft medium for casting the zero-level witchcraft bone armor.
Richard made up his mind and without hesitation, he took the magic stone and planned to go to the school's trading area.
But just as he took a step, he changed his mind and went back to the desk, opened the drawer, and then lifted up the interlayer. He saw a drawer full of Fire Dancing Stars neatly arranged. There were more than forty bottles. These Fire Dancing Stars were exactly what he had accumulated during this period of time.
Take out a packing box, similar to a test tube storage box, carefully place the ten Fire Dancing Stars in it, and cover it.
Then he opened a hidden drawer in the closet next to him, took out ten packets of Silver Moon Dust, and put them into another box.
After picking up the two boxes, Richard strode out of the dormitory and headed for the trading area.
Seeing the apprentices walking hurriedly along the way, Richard felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the trading area, Richard discovered that there were many people who shared the same idea as him.
Looking at the crowded trading area, Richard smiled bitterly, shook his head, and squeezed into the crowd towards Sanders' cabin.
There were already at least seven or eight wizard apprentices of various levels in the hut, choosing potions or asking questions. The brown-haired girl was so busy that when she saw Richard come in, she could only nod as a greeting, and then she had to busy herself with serving the customers in front.
Richard looked around and saw that the price had increased by nearly 30%.
For example, the stinking potion that originally sold for only ten magic stones now sells for thirteen magic stones.
The price of blinding potion increased from twelve magic stones to sixteen magic stones.
The price of vitality potions, which are more commonly used by second- and third-level wizard apprentices, has also soared from eight magic stones to fifteen magic stones, almost doubling!
Looking at the second-level wizard apprentice in front of him, who was buying five bottles at a time, Richard knew that this price was definitely not the upper limit.
I estimate that if I come to buy it tomorrow, not only will the price be much higher than it is now, but the biggest problem will be whether there is medicine or not!
After painfully paying a large sum of magic stones and purchasing some necessary potions, Richard went straight to Dilis's alchemy shop, which was the shop where the brown-haired girl's twin sister worked.
When I looked closely, hey! Compared with the people in Sanders Cottage Pharmacy, there were just as many people here.
While waiting in line, Richard learned about the price increase from the apprentice in front of him.
As he expected, the prices of alchemical bombs also rose across the board, but the increase was not as exaggerated as that of potions.
The price of the Fire Dance Star increased from fifteen magic stones to eighteen magic stones, an increase of about 20%, but the price of the raw material, the Flame Flower, remained basically unchanged.
It seems that there are benefits to coming early.
Seeing this situation, Richard's expression did not change, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
He had just taken ten bottles of Fire Dancing Stars and ten bags of Silver Moon Dust. He originally planned to use them to sell and buy crystal balls and inlays.
Before, he was worried whether there would be enough magic stones, but from the looks of it now, there should still be some left.
The price of a finished crystal ball with the [Summon Skeleton] inverted pentagram array printed on it is about two hundred magic stones; if it is inlaid, it ranges from twenty to thirty to forty to fifty magic stones, and the price is determined by the skill of the inlay artist.
"Hello, give me a crystal ball, ten flame flowers, two broken star woods, and a sulfur brick."
"Hey! Richard, why are you here!" The brown-haired girl showed a happy expression on her face.
The brown-haired girl also went to watch the freshman ranking competition, and she was really surprised to know that this handsome junior in front of her actually won the top spot among freshmen.
"Um, is there any familiar inlay artist in your shop? I want to inlay this crystal ball on my cane." Richard raised the Banshee's Finger in his hand.
"Of course there is. The second shop on the right is the inlay shop. Richard, just say that Dilis introduced you here, and they will give you the best discount."
"Okay, thank you, Senior!"
An hour later, Richard returned to the dormitory again. He was delighted to see the new Banshee's Finger, which cost fifty magic stones and was inlaid by the best third-level wizard apprentice in the inlay shop.
There is a miniature inverted pentagram array in the crystal ball, which feels a bit like a micro-carving, and its position is exactly embedded in the central depression of the banshee's bony palm. Not only does it not affect the original rune array in the slightest, but it is also very beautiful and generous.
Richard took the new Banshee's Finger and began to perform the zero-level witchcraft of summoning skeletons.
With the injection of a trace of mental power, the crystal ball instantly projected an inverted pentagram magic circle with a diameter of about three meters four or five meters in front of Richard.
This projection directly eliminates the hand-drawing process that the caster originally had to perform, greatly improving the practicality of this witchcraft.
Just as Richard was thinking about further upgrading the summoned skeleton, there was a knock on the door.
"Boom boom boom!"
Richard was quite annoyed, but he could only stop calling. He opened the door and saw that it was senior Meiluo.
"Richard, Professor Ceres is asking you to come over right away!" Senior Meiluo said hurriedly.
