Warhammer Wizard Chapter 29

　　 Just after noon, it was lunch time, but there were a lot of people in the Demon Soul Market.

　　 Ren opened the eyes of the soul and looked around, but he didn't know it, but he was startled.

　　 Looking around, almost one-third of the people around are extraordinary. Their souls have undergone transformation, as if a group of unique rays of light are moving everywhere.

　　 "Does Longshande have so many extraordinary people?"

　　 Rehn couldn't help but sigh, it's true that things are gathered together and people are divided into groups. The Demon Soul Market is probably the place with the most extraordinary people in the entire city.

　　While visiting the market, he secretly observed for a while and saw many extraordinary professions.

Iron Guards, Shadow Warriors, Rangers, and Gunners are the most numerous, and more than 60% of the transcendents are one of these four professions; then Berserker, Fighter, and Demon Hunter, these three professions are relatively small, accounting for all of them. 20%; the least number are casters, including shepherds, warlocks, mechanics, and wizards, accounting for about 15%.

　　 In addition, there are some transcendents from the church, such as the Holy Swordsman and the Mother of the Earth who belong to the Church of the Three Gods of the Empire. Renn also discovered a night watchman who believes in the Goddess of the Moon. He secretly glanced at it a few more times because of curiosity.

　　 However, there are some transcendents whose professions cannot be confirmed by Rennes. They may be some kind of rare profession, unknown to outsiders.

　　 Just over an hour, it opened his eyes.

In addition to the transcendents, Renn has also seen all kinds of demon souls, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and many more demon souls that are not named and do not know where they were born. It was like entering a zoo, dazzling him.

　　 I watched a lot, and Ren gradually discovered the demons in the market, especially those still alive. Most of them were monsters, and the ranks were all beginners. Intermediate ones were rare.

　　Most of these first-level monsters are not captured from the wild, but artificially bred.

　　The Demon Soul Farm of the Empire is a very mature industry, dominated by all kinds of monsters, especially the Demon Soul of several common professions, which basically come out of the farm.

For example, Iron Guard's "Basalt Rhinoceros", Berserker's "Cordias Bear", Gunner's "Night Owl", and Ranger's "Long-armed Mandrill" have already formed a complete breeding process, from breeding to breeding. , Then cultivated and matured, identified the elements, and finally sent to the market to slaughter and obtain the devil soul. The whole process only takes five to seven years.

　　Because of the stable supply, the prices of these kinds of demons are relatively cheap, and the selling price of each merchant is between 20 and 30 gold shields.

　　Because the types other than monsters are rare, the price soars, usually above fifty gold shields.

　　 These uncommon demons, according to the seller, generally come from the dead forest in the western part of the empire.

It is a huge virgin forest, located in a super large basin equivalent to two or three provinces. The basin is surrounded by mountains and plateaus on three sides of the world. Only in the east is a long and narrow plain with a length of two thousand. Dori, leading to the belly of the empire.

　　Many transcendents would choose to go to the Dead Forest Sea for the first time when they went out to hunt and kill the Devil Soul.

　　 In the markets of various cities in the empire, most of the demons came from the Dead Forest.

　　 The feathered snake that I saw just now is a soul hunting team who has been captured from the Dead Forest and transported back to Longshande.

　　 In a magic soul store, Ren wandered casually.

　　 The area of this shop is small, there are no living things, only soul stone trading, so it is relatively clean and quiet.

Hundreds of soul stones are placed on several shelves for observation. These shelves are made of metal, and the lower part is firmly fixed on the ground. The surface of the shelves is engraved with a series of rune arrays, which emit energy from time to time, which is obviously protected by magic. Soul stone to avoid being robbed or stolen.

　　 Each soul stone is about the size of a pigeon egg, and is an irregular polyhedron.

　　The soul stone is an alchemy product. The raw material is a white crystal. It is transparent when there is no demon soul contained, and it is no different from a glass ball.

　　 After containing the demon soul, the color of the soul stone will change with the demon soul inside, colorful, like precious gems.

　　 Close to the soul stone and observe carefully, you will see that it is like a ball of paint inside, constantly tumbling and flowing, showing the strange form of the devil soul, and the elemental runes that flash away.

　　The Spirit Appraiser uses these chaotic forms and element runes to distinguish the situation of the Demon Soul.

　　 With the help of the Soul Eye, Renn can grasp the true information in the Soul Stone with just one glance.

　　 These soul stones have been identified by the soul appraiser, and then set the price. Most of the prices are accurate, and there are occasional mistakes, and the gap with the true value will not be very large.

　　Although Renn can also pick up the leaks and make some difference, it is far inferior to the mid-level feather snake. In order not to attract attention, he did not make a shot.

　　 After reading the soul stone, there is a shelf next to it, without rune circle protection, all books are placed on it.

　　 Ryan glanced away, and there was a book that caught his attention.

　　 "Huh? "The Book of Thousand Souls Short Edition"."

　　 said it was a short version, but the book was as thick as a brick. Rehn stepped forward and picked it up. It felt heavy, not much lighter than the real brick.

　　 He turned the pages of the book. The author is a legendary wizard named Temandora, and he is also a master of soul, who has devoted his life to the study of demons.

The Book of Thousand Souls, written by the master, records in detail more than a thousand types of demons, including the classification, ranks, habits, weaknesses, distribution areas of demons, possible elements, and the form, naming and function of the elements , Strength and so on. The content of the book is extremely detailed, and each magic soul and element is equipped with exquisite illustrations, all hand-painted by Master Temandora.

　　 "Fuck, this is too awesome!"

　　 Rain was overjoyed, this book was exactly what he needed.

　　 He has the eyes of the soul, he can see through the inside and outside of the soul and the information of the elements at a glance, but he does not know what these elements are called, and cannot correspond to the known elements.

　　 Ryan looked through and read eagerly, and he didn't forget, every time he read a page, he took a photo with his phone and saved it.

　　 According to the research of Master Temandora, the known demons in the world are divided into sixteen categories.

　　The largest number is not monsters, but insects, followed by fish, and monsters only rank third. There are also thirteen types of birds, plants, aquatic, spirit, strange, element, undead, human form, giant monster, demon, demons, dragonborn, and true dragon.

　　 Under each category, there are several sub-categories according to the differences, which add up to hundreds of categories.

　　 Lane was amazed, this is simply a taxonomy of biology.

　　 Of course, if the biology of the previous life is used as the standard, Master Temandora's classification is simply messy and unfounded.

　　 But this is the classification of demons, not the classification of creatures. There is no relationship between the two.

Ren saw the introduction of the feathered snake in the book, compared with each other, and immediately knew the names of several elements of the feathered snake in the market, namely "air cutting", "cyclone" and "quick recovery". Needless to say.

　　 The whole book has hundreds of pages, and it takes at least one day to read all of them.

　　 Moreover, this is a short version. It only introduces more than one hundred common demons, which is far from the 1,000 demons mentioned in the title.

　　 Ryan closed the book and went to the counter, and asked, "Boss, how much is this book?"

　　 The owner is a lean old man. He read the title of the book, "The book of a thousand souls abbreviated version, 299 copper."

　　 Isn't that just three golden shields!

　　 Rehn made a complaint. He didn't expect that another world would also engage in this price gap sales method, but he still frankly fetched three golden shields from his wallet.

　　 One book sells three gold shields, which is expensive enough, but knowledge is priceless, and he is willing to pay the money.

　　 After receiving a copper rissole retrieved by the owner, Renn asked, "Is there a full version of The Book of Thousand Souls?"

"The full version has twelve volumes in total. You have to buy them at a special bookstore or in a large library." The owner shook his head, glanced at Renn, and explained: "The price of the full set of the Book of Thousand Souls is more than fifty. Golden Shield is very inconvenient to carry. Few customers will buy it, so we don't have any stock. Sorry."

Rennes imagined that the twelve books were superimposed to fill an entire suitcase. It would take a long time to browse through them. Very few people have the patience to read them all, let alone spend money to go. Bought it.

　　 "Well, thanks for letting me know." Renn left with the book.

　　 After walking around in the market for a while, Renne felt that it was almost done, and was a little hungry, so he decided to go back to the market after lunch.

　　 He walked halfway, and someone on the side of the road yelled at the entrance of the store: "Gambling soul, gambling soul!"

　　 "A new batch of gold-eating ants arrived in the store today. They are all alive, and they only sell one gold shield."

　　 "Buy now and kill now, as long as you offer a power element, that is, a good deputy soul, which can sell at least fifty gold shields. The quantity is not large, so hurry up."

　　 Ryan stopped and was very interested in this gambling soul. It sounded like a stone gambling in the previous life.

　　 I just don't know if it's true or not. Are there any tricks?

　　 He walked into the shop and saw several large tables full of glass jars. There were two to three hundred jars made of special thick glass. The cap was tightly closed, leaving only a small hole for ventilation.

　　 There is a ferocious ant in each glass jar. The whole body is pitch black as ink, faintly reflecting the dark light, and the angular body is like cast iron, with its teeth and claws open, giving people an extremely strong sense of power.

　　 There is a thick translucent solution at the bottom of the glass jar, which should be a special potion. The ants are soaked in it, and they become sour and weak. They use their forelimbs to scratch the glass, making sharp and harsh sounds.

　　 "Such a big ant!"

　　 Ren was taken aback. He remembered that the largest bull ant on the earth seemed to be only three or four centimeters long.

The gold-eating ants in front of us are more than ten centimeters in length, and the largest one is more than 20 centimeters in length. It is also big and weighs at least several hundred times the bull ant. If it is bitten, It is estimated that a large piece of skin can be torn off, even the fingers are broken.

　　 If you are besieged by a group of gold-eating ants, the ending will be tragic.

　　 There are seven or eight customers in the shop. They all gather around the glass jar to observe carefully and choose the ants they want to buy.

　　 "Does this kind of gold-eating ant really eat metal?"

　　 Ryan asked, he had never seen ants before, nor had he seen it in the Book of Thousand Souls.

"Of course." A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper enthusiastically replied, "Gold-eating ants grew up eating iron ore. These gold-eating ants killed three miners in a mine in the north of the city a few days ago. The Lord invited an alchemist to take action, then packaged and sold it to us. The whole nest was here, and none of them ran away."

　　 "Young man, do you want to buy a few to try your luck?" The shopkeeper was full of smiles.

　　 Renn did not answer.

The shopkeeper thought he was hesitating, and then eloquently persuaded: "Young man, don't underestimate the gold-eating ants. They are indeed very weak, but they are also real monsters. There is a certain probability that the soul produces elements, and It is a very practical'power' element!"

　　 "Do you know how powerful an ant is? They can lift things hundreds of times heavier than themselves. If they are put on humans, this power is even more terrifying than the bronze giant, and the absolute potential is unlimited!"

　　 "How many melee classes want the power element, it may not be good enough as the main soul, but it is more suitable for the secondary soul."

　　 "Just now, a customer bought a gold-eating ant containing power elements and sold fifty gold shields on the spot. If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone."

　　 The shopkeeper pointed to a few customers who were shopping for ants, and two or three guests echoed, testifying that the shopkeeper's words were true.

　　 Rehn sighed in his heart, these few people are obviously trusting, is he so easy to deceive?

　　 Maybe the golden ant might actually develop the power element, but the shopkeeper couldn't believe it. The rhetoric about the power of the ant was tired of listening to it when I was in elementary school.

　　 He has already opened the eyes of the soul, and he looks at it one by one.

　　 The shopkeeper saw his reaction flat, so he had to walk away and greet another customer who had just come in.

　　 Rehn even looked at twenty or thirty gold-eating ants, but he didn't find any elements existed, and the souls of these ants were very weak. Only two or three ants combined could be the most common demon soul.

　　 "Sure enough, it is a trick to fool people, even a broken ant dare to sell a golden shield..."

　　 He secretly scolded the shopkeeper and the profiteer. When he saw more than 60 of them, he suddenly stared, and shouted in his heart: "I'm going, there are really power elements!"

　　 The appearance of this gold-eating ant is similar to that of other ants. It may be slightly larger, but it is not the largest. I did not expect it to contain one element.

　　 After perceiving carefully, Ren confirmed that this is the power element.

　　Whether he wanted to buy it, he picked up the fifty golden shields and saw that the glass jar of the ant was picked up by a wizard in a robe and taken away, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

　　 "Fuck, I'm slow to start."

　　 Ryan curled his lips in depression. The other party was a third-level wizard with such good eyesight. He was obviously still a powerful soul connoisseur.

　　 The shopkeeper happily accepted the wizard's golden shield, took a hammer, poured the gold-eating ant out of the jar onto an anvil, and hit it with a hammer while it was still dizzy.

boom!

　　 There was a loud sound, and the hammer seemed to hit the iron block, and was bounced back, but the ants on the anvil were still moving.

The shopkeeper has already seen the tenacity of gold-eating ants, swinging a hammer and hitting it a few times, as if hitting iron, finally smashed the ant into a piece of discus-like rotten meat~www.mtlnovel.com~ and held a blank soul stone on it. .

　　 In Ren's eyes, he saw the gold-eating ant's soul flying out, as if coming to his side.

　　 The soul just flew out, and was ingested by the closer soul stone. The two sides fell into a see-saw, and the soul was faintly torn in half.

　　 "Oops."

　　 Renn has forgotten what he can absorb his soul.

　　 Fortunately, he had fumbled on the phone before and found that there was an option to turn off the charging in the battery icon, so he quickly selected it.

　　 Sure enough, after turning off the charging, the soul of the gold eater was immediately absorbed by the soul stone, and the white crystal seemed to be filled with ink, becoming dark and deep.

　　 The shopkeeper took the soul stone, and saw a red rune emerge and disappear again.

　　 The smile on his face instantly froze.

The guests around 　　 also saw the vision in the soul stone and exclaimed: "The element of power!"

　　 Only Renn knew about it, not surprisingly. The sorcerer had a good face, took the soul stone from the owner, and continued to select glass jars.

　　 Several customers were irritated, and one after another they chose gold-eating ants and gave them to the shopkeeper. As the ants were killed, none of them appeared.

　　 The wizard bought two more, but it was also fruitless.

　　 Renn ignored the others, observing the past one by one at his own pace.

　　 But he even watched more than a hundred gold-eating ants, and never found any additional power elements. Then he patiently checked dozens of them, but there was still no gain.

　　 Until there were more than thirty left, just when Renn had no hope, thinking that this was another ordinary gold-eating ant, suddenly three runes flashed before his eyes.

　　 "Fuck! Fuck, slot, slot..."
