Chapter 467: Star Spirit Magic (First Update)
Chapter 467: Star Spirit Magic (First Update)
With the lure of cold, hard cash, the owner of the Mage Store immediately put on his most enthusiastic face and began to enthusiastically pitch all the Magic items in the store to Jerry, one by one.
Opening a Magic store in a city like Harujion was practically a disaster.
Unless a traveling mage happened to pass through, very few people would come to such a place to buy magical items.
And even a traveling mage, or a traveling mage who needed to buy magical items, might not show up for ten days to half a month.
It's easy to imagine how poor the owner's business was.
This is why such a prestigious Magic store was located in such a remote part of the city, with a tiny shop and a limited selection of products.
If it weren't for the high profit margins on magical items and the requirements set by the Magic Council, and if he weren't so old, he would have quit long ago.
From the Magic Box that could change the color of clothes to the Magic Lamp that provided warmth and light, Jerry bought almost every item the owner introduced without hesitation and without haggling.
The owner became more and more excited as he introduced each item, and Jerry was worried that the old man might get too excited and pass out.
Actually, these items weren't of much practical use to Jerry, or it was unrealistic to expect to find powerful magical items in such a small and remote Magic store.
He was just interested in studying them, planning to take them apart and examine the Magic arrays inside.
As for haggling, it wasn't worth the time. After all, he wasn't short on money and had no particular interest in such things.
After buying over a dozen magical items, the thick stack of bills on the table was finally depleted.
However, Jerry unhesitatingly took out another stack of bills and placed it on the table:
"Any more?"
Seeing this, the owner couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling a bit regretful.
The truth was, his business had always been poor, and he didn't have much capital. So, he always bought the cheapest items in small quantities.
These dozen or so magical items were practically all the magical items he had in stock.
Moreover, the customer didn't want duplicates, so he could only sell one of each type.
If he had known he would encounter such a wealthy customer today, he would have invested all his savings to stock up more items.
"These are all the Magic items we have, but there is one more, though I'm not sure if it will be useful to you!"
Suddenly, as if remembering something, the owner rummaged through a drawer and brought out a dusty box onto the counter.
"This is the Canis Minor Star Spirit Key. If you are a Summoning Type Star Spirit Mage, it would be perfect for you. Although it isn't very powerful, it is very cute and can attract girls when summoned!"
The owner, fearing that Jerry might be put off by the Canis Minor's weak power, quickly added with a lecherous smile, highlighting its charm.
"Star Spirit Key, Star Spirit Mage, Summoning Type?"
Jerry wasn't interested in attracting girls. What caught his attention were the few terms the owner mentioned, which clearly related to the world's Magic.
Hearing the confusion in Jerry's voice, the owner was taken aback for a moment before quickly explaining:
"It seems you are not very familiar with Star Spirit Magic. It is a special type of Magic for Summoning Type mages. Through this Star Spirit Key, you can form a Magic Pact with a corresponding Star Spirit in the Star Spirit Realm. Then, by consuming your own magic power, you can summon them from the Star Spirit Realm to assist in battle!"
Now, for the shop owner, it didn't matter whether the customer in front of him was a mage or understood Magic. The most important thing was that the customer had money.
"Forming a Magic Pact with the star spirits of the Star Spirit Realm and summoning them to battle through a medium. Interesting Magic."
Jerry picked up the silver key and glanced at it, then bought it without hesitation.
He himself knew how to form Magic Pacts and had many pact creatures, but his pact Magic couldn't be summoned through any medium. Instead, they were all stored in his ring world.
"By the way, do you have any Magic Books for sale?"
Putting away the Canis Minor Star Spirit Key, Jerry asked about the main purpose of his visit to the Mage Store.
Studying magical items was secondary. To gain a detailed understanding of this world's Magic system and the methods for learning and using Magic, he needed Magic Books.
This was the experience he had gained after traveling through several Mini Worlds.
"Well, I do have some, but..."
The owner's tone became awkward as soon as he heard about Magic Books.
Jerry raised an eyebrow.
"What's the matter? Is it about the money?"
"Of course not. It's just that the Magic Books I have are mostly about basic Magic knowledge and don't cover the specific techniques of different types of Magic."
"If you want to learn Magic, it's best to go to a larger city, find a mage to be your teacher, or pay a mage to teach you."
The owner quickly waved his hands to explain.
Real Magic Books were extremely expensive, and his small Mage Store couldn't afford to stock them.
Moreover, learning Magic from books alone was almost impossible unless one had exceptional talent. Otherwise, it was very difficult to achieve any significant success, let alone reach the level of an ordinary mage.
If one wanted to become a mage, they either needed to have exceptional talent and be taken in as an apprentice by a mage, or spend a lot of money to post a task at the guild and hire a mage to teach them.
Mages could earn substantial rewards through guild tasks, making it a career many ordinary people aspired to. However, becoming a mage was not an easy feat for most.
"In that case, bring out all the Magic Books you have. I'll buy them all."
Although disappointed by the owner's response, getting some books on basic Magic knowledge was still a small gain.
At least he could learn from these books about the types of Magic in this world, their effects, and their power levels, as well as the history of Magic in this world.
"Please wait a moment, sir!"
The owner immediately turned around and started rummaging through the shelves.
It seemed that the books explaining basic Magic knowledge were not in high demand.
Just as the owner was searching for the Magic Books, the wooden door of the Mage Store creaked open.
Jerry turned his head to see a girl with golden hair, a curvaceous figure, and dressed in what looked like a sailor uniform, standing before him. She appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Hmm?"
The moment he saw the girl, Jerry's eyes narrowed.
It wasn't because of her appearance or figure, but because he could clearly sense that the amount of magic power within her far exceeded that of any ordinary person with magic power he had encountered in the past two days.
So, he thought, this girl might be what they called a mage in this world.
