Son of the Olden Days

After leaving the lord's mansion, Saul pulled out the magic hourglass and took a look, only to realize that it was between late night and dawn.

Right now the whole town has fallen into a dream, and most of the shops have closed one after another. It is obviously not suitable to stay at this time. The key is that this time is not up to the point, and Sol stood in the lane for a while and was gone.

"I knew it would be better to stay with Kletty until the morning." Sol murmured.

Maybe places like taverns are still open, but he doesn't know the distribution of taverns in the new town, and when this kind of time appears on the street, it must be troublesome to hit the town's patrols. Even if you don't get caught, you can't get away with cross-examination.

Forget it, just hang around for a while, anyway, dawn is not far away.

In the end, Thor tightened his collar tightly and curled up in a corner in the lane, like a homeless tramp. He wanted to try to lean against the corner to take a nap, but the sudden drop in temperature kept him in the blur of half asleep and half awake.

I don't know how long it has passed before the whole town finally woke up from its deep sleep. Sol picked up a handful of ice and snow and wiped it on his face, and then, like a busy early riser, merged into the scattered pedestrians on the street.

He first went to the bakery where Chris had taken him to, and when he arrived at Saul, he realized that he was not the first visitor.

"I don't know where the little bean sprout of Chris has gone now." After ordering a sandwich bread, Saul ate the heat of the oven to dissipate the cold from his body.

After filling his stomach, he didn't go straight to the market, but first went to the post in the new town, the place of travel for business travelers.

Fortunately, I met a caravan leaving at noon. The leader was a middle-aged uncle named Zobert. His family was originally in Grayscreen Town, and he was about to seize the opportunity to make a final trip to go home before the winter completely entered.

After drew the sword and Zobert warmed up, Sol easily got the qualification to follow the team. As for the attention cast by a few stepless people in the team, he did not take it seriously.

After arriving at the market in the new town, it was obvious that the weather had also affected the business on the street, and the stalls and passenger flow were much reduced. Sol estimated that he might not gain much from this trip.

After walking around for two laps, he didn't find anything of interest, so Sol plunged into the magic shop that Lorton introduced last time.

This time the shop owner was replaced by a young man in his twenties, wiping the goods with a rag. After seeing Sol enter the store, he smiled politely and motioned for Sol to choose at will.

The goods in the store and the ones I saw last time didn't seem to have changed much.

"Hello, I've been here once, last time it was a lady." After seeing it for a while, Saul greeted the young shopkeeper.

"Oh, hello, guest, this is Leon. The one you mentioned is my mother, and now it's winter I'm asking her to go home and rest. Come, please sit here."

The owner Leon led Sol to the small round table in the corner of the shop to sit down, and then poured two cups of steaming fragrant tea.

"Does the customer order a wand or a cloak in our shop? Are you here to pick up the goods?" Leon sat across the round table opposite Saul, and asked politely.

Saul was a little embarrassed. He mentioned that sentence earlier, not for the purpose of getting closer or asking for a discount, but for the next question. Unexpectedly, it caused a misunderstanding from the owner and was warmly treated.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you. I am not a magician myself, so I can barely be regarded as a half-hearted adventurer. I bought a magic book and some gadgets here last time. Today I want to ask if there is anything new in your store. The goods arrived?" Sol said.

"Haha, it’s okay. There are no customers in this weather. Actually, I’m a little boring to stay here. I think about the new product. I have to talk about the difference from a few months ago. Oh, it’s a batch of soul crystals, but the quantity Running out."

"Soul crystal? Excuse me, what is a soul crystal?" Saul didn't know why.

Leon got up and walked into the counter, then took two slightly transparent diamond-shaped crystals and spread them out on his palms.

The two diamond-shaped crystals are the same size, they look very regular in appearance, and the texture is like crystals with impurities. There seemed to be flames burning in one of them, but nothing in the other, and Thor didn't see what it was.

"It is said that this is a new thing passed from the main city. This is the extra demon soul obtained by adventurers during their adventure, and the empty one is like a container, which is used to carry the demon soul." Leon explained. .

"You said this is the Demon Soul!?" Thor glared his eyes, his tone couldn't help but improve. He really didn't expect that the Demon Soul could be used as goods to be bought and sold.

In fact, Saul had tried on a whim when he first came into contact with the Demon Soul, but he discovered that the Demon Soul is not a physical substance, except for being able to see it, it cannot be touched and felt, just like air.

Oh, that's not right, air can actually be captured, you can take it away with a sealed jar. But the Demon Soul couldn't. It would penetrate the tank wall directly, and it was impossible to even put it into the tank.

"Yes, this is a magic soul, but this special magic crystal container is needed to realize the process of storing and moving the magic soul. When you need to absorb the magic soul, you only need to unscrew the upper half of the crystal that can rotate. Part of it will do, just like this."

As Leon introduced, he gently opened the crystal with the demon soul in it, and then a scarlet demon soul was exposed to the air. Judging by the color, Thor suspects that it comes from a zombie or a magic horned wolf. Of course, it may also be an unknown monster that he has not seen.

"Excuse me, what is the price of this single, the one equipped with the devil soul." Sol asked.

It seems that there are not many demon souls, but it may mean the disappearance of several lives. Sol estimates that the price should be very expensive, and he may not be able to buy it. However, Leon's answer once again made him stare. stand up.

"A soul crystal is the one that contains the magic soul, and the price is one silver wolf. As for the carrying container of the magic soul, one silver wolf has two. If you purchase a large amount of the same kind of goods, our shop can also provide a certain discount ."

A silver wolf and a devil soul? Demon soul...is that worthless? Saul felt that his price perception had been subverted. He originally thought that the price of a soul crystal might be even higher than that of a golden eagle.

But Thor quickly guessed the source of the problem, which should be the cognitive difference brought about by height and vision. Perhaps the devil soul is very precious and rare for people at this level, but it is nothing for the most powerful adventurer.

The owner Leon quickly confirmed Saul's guess.

"This kind of goods is actually mainly targeted at low-level adventurers. Among high-level adventurers, very few people care about it. After reaching the high-level, unlimited absorption of demons is dangerous, so some high-level people have a foreboding. They often stop before being promoted."

"It is said that for some powerful and prestigious families on the mainland, unless the development of the family reaches a bottleneck, or they must rely on tyrannical force to break the situation, their paternal master will write a suicide note and take the family’s last care to face the Jin Dynasty. Order this thing."

"As for ordinary professionals, perhaps only those who are fanatical and truly addicted to martial arts can go forward without risk of failure. In fact, I am also a Tier 2 magician and have stayed in this position for three years." Leon's tone was a little bit. Sigh.

Write a suicide note to advance? It sounds like a joke, but Thor feels a deep sense of tragic and heroic.

"You said that high-level professionals will have a hunch before they get promoted? What kind of hunch?" Saul captured the part he was interested in.

"It feels hard to describe. If you have to say it intuitively, it's like you can feel it when you are almost full. Moreover, as a guest, your current level 1 strength, before the second level is approaching, you will There will be a hunch."

"I used to study at the Anselstein School of Magic. According to my mentor's years of research, the process of being promoted to the first rank on this continent is actually for all ordinary people. After all, there is no risk, but the absorption of demons."

"The real diversion between ordinary people and professionals starts from the second level. Although they have to face the risk of failure in advancement, they also get an increase in physical strength, a widening of dark horizons, and awakening of their own professional skills."

"Professional skills? What professional skills?" Sol caught another unknown.

"The so-called classification of occupational skills is too complicated. Common categories include sword skills and magic, and rare ones include illusion, summoning, etc., and even archery skills are part of the category."

"Many people say this is the ability of human beings to awaken in the Dark Ages, and some say it is the gift of the gods or the echo of fate, and many schools of fate and mission have emerged as the times require."

professional skills! For this new knowledge, Thor's eyes are very hot.

"Then what if I am a Tier 1 swordsman who has been using a sword but awakened a magical ability when I was at Tier 2, what will happen? Will this happen?" Thor asked after thinking about it. .

"This situation does exist, and it happens often."

"Like our magic academy, usually only after the vocational skills are awakened will their career direction be determined, so often some students leave the academy to become a swordsman after reaching the second level, or embark on other paths."

"As for the guest you said, you used the sword, but in the end you awakened the magical ability. That is nothing more than three choices, continue to refine swordsmanship, or from now on specializing in magic, or become a magic swordsman with both abilities."

"Of course, all choices must be made carefully based on their own specific circumstances."

In the end, Saul repeatedly thanked him and got up to say goodbye. After all, he disturbed others for too long, and it was time for him to leave. As for the soul crystals, Thor swept all the more than twenty soul crystals left in the store, and twenty magic containers carrying the magic soul came.

Originally, he didn’t plan to buy a magic container, but he suddenly thought that if he was successfully promoted to Tier 2, he would store all the extra demonic souls and hand it over to Clayty for her to absorb. It would be great if he could get her to Tier 1. .

There is another role. Sol wanted to try to see if he could use the magic container to take Savannah to the sea. He instinctively felt that Savannah's physique and the demon soul seemed to be the same thing.
