Headshot Wizard - Chapter 54

Chapter 54

Regis was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a calm look: “Young man, your appetite is really not small.”

Lance smiled: “For you, master, these things are nothing but a drop in the bucket. But for me, a little apprentice wizard, they are very important.”

Regis snorted: “Do you know how much a bottle of fake death potion costs? What’s more, I made it by myself.”

Lance said calmly: “I guess it must not be as valuable as the petrified heart in my hands…especially at this time.”

The old man glared at him: “Do you know what it’s like to offend me?”

Lance lowered his head and said nothing.

The two were silent for a while. Regis rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled: “I understand, the reason you are not afraid of offending me is not because you are not afraid of me… is it because you are going to that place-Puppet City?”

Lance smiled and raised his head: “The master’s news is really well-informed. I only took over the task today.”

Regis shook his head: “Fateless guy. Three years ago, one of my disciples broke into the core area of the puppet city, but under the siege of three puppet warriors, he could only fall with hatred. He is a high-level wizard. apprentice.”

“If it is necessary, no one wants to take risks.” Lance was still very calm. He looked at Regis and suddenly said, “Master, maybe we can make a deal.”

“What deal?” The old man narrowed his eyes.

Lance looked at each other squarely, and quickly said: “There are still so many people who want to take risks in a dangerous place like Puppet City. There are definitely many benefits. As a master of pharmacy, you must also have some special magic materials. There is a demand. I wonder if there are magic materials you want in Puppet City?”

Regis readily said: “Of course! I have been hesitating these few days whether to publish a special task to collect materials produced in Puppet City. But first of all, I don’t have this permission. And the things produced in Puppet City must be. I was scraped by the three major wizarding organizations. If I publish this task privately, although the three major organizations will still respect me on the surface, they will certainly hold grudges secretly.”

“So although there are lucky people who can come back from Puppet City alive every year, the things in their hands are basically taken away by the three great wizarding organizations, and I am unwilling to cooperate with those wizarding organizations, so it is difficult to get a share of it. soup.”

“This kind of offending and unpleasant thing, you still don’t do it.” Lance said: “Since you have guessed that I want to enter the puppet city, I might as well tell you that my purpose is to collect puppets. Earn enough magic stones from various rare materials in the city.”

“Are you willing to do things for me?” Regis was a little surprised: “Although I am a master of pharmacy, the rewards I give are definitely not as attractive as the three major wizarding organizations. They are in order to monopolize the materials produced by the Puppet City, but It will cost you money.”

“We can sign an agreement.” Lance continued to talk, “The things I collect in Puppet City will be sold to you first; and the price you pay is only for me to use the price of twenty magic stones. Buy a bottle of fake death potion and a bottle of phosphorous gun potion.”

Phosphorus gunpowder is the pale green bottle that Lance pointed to before.

Regis thought for a while, and suddenly laughed: “Cunning kid, I almost got fooled!”

He stood up and asked fiercely: “How do I know that you can come back from Puppet City alive?! Even if I have to sign an agreement with someone, I will find a higher-level apprentice with a higher level of magic, not a magical power less than 40. A rookie of the order.”

“The level of magic power does not mean everything.” Seeing Master Regis’ aggressive question, Lance was not surprised and rejoiced. He knew that this was a manifestation of the customer’s enthusiasm for his proposal.

Years of experience in selling chips told him that if the customer is very indifferent and dismissive, then he has no talk; asking questions like Regis is just giving himself a chance to convince the other party.

Convincing others is precisely the necessary skill of a chip salesman, and it is Lance’s strong point.

“First of all, for you, this is an investment. There must be a price difference between the magic stone I paid and the potion you gave me. This difference is the amount of your investment. This investment brings you unlimited purchases. Quan… After all, theoretically, the magic materials I can collect are infinite.”

“Second, since it is an investment, there is bound to be risk. In our agreement, the core risk is mainly one point-that is whether I can come back from the puppet city alive…”

Lance held up two fingers and looked at Regis.

The old man nodded involuntarily.

Lance smiled secretly in his heart. Here, he actually omitted a core risk deliberately to test the old man’s reaction. In fact, even if he could successfully come back from the puppet city alive, he might not be able to bring enough Value magic material. “Return alive” and “return alive and collect a lot of materials” are completely two concepts.

Although Regis is a master of pharmacy, the world’s knowledge on logic and sales must be underdeveloped, and the old man has not discovered the loopholes Lance said.

This greatly increased Lance’s confidence. Perhaps this is also related to the history that people who survived the puppet city carried a lot of rare materials.

He continued: “If this is the case, do I just need to prove my strength to you?”

Here, Lance secretly changed another concept: in fact, the level of strength is not necessarily the same as whether or not he can come back from the puppet city alive. Although the higher the strength, theoretically can increase the chance of survival in the adventure, but the relationship between the two is not absolute. But in his narration, the boundary between the two is cleverly blurred.

Regis always felt something wrong with Lance’s narration, but he couldn’t find what was wrong, so he could only follow Lance’s rhythm.

So he nodded.

Lance smiled: “Although my level of magic power is not high enough, I was a hunter before becoming a wizard. I am good at archery.”

“The fighting methods of the secular world are not suitable for the wizarding world.” Regis finally found a counter-attack point and immediately retorted: “No matter how good your archery is, it may not be able to penetrate the defenses of the puppets…There are other apprentice wizards. Sneak attack. You know, the danger in Puppet City is not just those monsters. For profit, indifferent wizards can do anything.”

Lance was delighted, he had completely diverted the old man’s attention. Although the other party was retorting, he had overlooked a few key points.

“That’s why I asked you for the bottle of phosphorous powder.” Lance reminded: “I saw in a book that an arrow soaked in phosphorous powder will automatically turn into a flame arrow when it is shot.”

“This is a good idea.” Regis’ eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help nodding and said, “Most of the monsters in Puppet City are wood, and they are very afraid of fire.”

Lance laughed: “Of course, as a wizard, I also have spells that I am good at. Believe me, the spells I am best at are definitely the nemesis of the puppets!”

“What spell?” Regis asked.

“Scorching rays.” Lance knew, this master potionist wouldn’t be so foolish if he didn’t show his hole cards.

“Scorching rays?” The old man smiled blankly: “A level 0 spell that is almost forgotten? Is this the spell you are best at?”

Lance nodded.

“I’m still a little interested in what you said before. But now… I’m sorry, I really can’t believe your strength.” Regis shook his head tiredly: “If you insist on selling the petrochemical heart in your hand If the price is high, then I can only wish you a good price.”

“Today I have wasted too much time. Since you have no sincerity in the transaction, then forgive me not to accompany you.”

The old man changed his face quickly, but fortunately Lance didn’t react slowly.

He stood up arrogantly and said loudly: “Give me a chance to show, it won’t waste much of your time. Isn’t it?”

Regis hesitated for a moment before frowning and said, “Well, you come up with me, there is a laboratory upstairs, where you can show off your good spells…scorching rays?”

“Thank you Master!”

Lance was overjoyed, knowing that things will happen in all likelihood.

He immediately followed Regis out of the living room and walked up the stairs on the side.
