Chapter 33: The Power of the Dragon
Marvin and Lola are separated outside Riverbeach City.
He is willing to give Lola a chance because the latter has shown her talent.
Although she is a liar, she could be a useful talent if she is cultivated with a little training.
At least in the future governance of the territory, Marven will not be able to do everything himself, and he will need a lot of talents to assist. And Lola has such qualifications.
Even if Lola really took the money and ran away, Marven would only lose a little money.
And if Lola returns from Gem Bay with good news, then it will be the first test that Marven will have for her.
At that time, the White River Valley should have been in the hands of Marven.
"Hope you don't let me down."
Marven watched the girl's figure disappear into the woods, and finally took off the mask and walked into the city.
β¦β¦
Riverbeach City looked as calm as ever.
But this calm is disguised, and Marvin walks down the street, and he can see the fear and uneasiness in the eyes of passers-by.
There were obviously a lot more patrols, and when they were guarding the gate before, they asked more questions than usual.
The news of the fall of the legendary wizard Anthony has finally spread on the East Coast.
The mighty man who had been trying to protect the peace of the East Coast was gone, and before the people could mourn the loss of their patronus, the Cult of the Two Serpents jumped out and did something ruthless.
They sacrificed their blood to a small village.
Women and children, young and old, were skinned and made into human skin kites, which were hung outside the village.
Even though it was near the City of Sailing and some distance from Jewel Bay, people still felt the fear.
The Twin Snakes of Destruction, who had been suppressed for many years, finally couldn't hold back their ambitions.
To make matters worse, rumors began to circulate that wizards were starting to lose their mana. The wizards of the prophecy department simply can't cast spells.
The murder of the Miller family, which caused a storm in the city before, has not been investigated, which is a clear proof of this.
The city lord of Riverbeach City hasn't shown up for a long time, and neither has the Xi Wizard Clan. The town hall can only mobilize more patrols.
These patrols can temporarily calm the feelings of the citizens.
But it can't stop the invasion of cultists such as the Twin Snakes of Destruction.
Riverbeach City, and indeed the entire East Coast, is a stormy look. It is said that on the official road, there are various bandit groups.
This is a sign of troubled times.
Marven walked on the street, the wind was cold, he couldn't help but pull his clothes, but his steps were more determined.
β¦β¦
The Ranger Guild, a young man wearing a mask walked in in the dust.
A few tellers squinted at each other, and then lost interest.
This guy looks like he's just a first-order ranger, and he shouldn't have any special business to do.
Who knew that the other party walked quickly to a counter and knocked on the cabinet.
"I need an appraiser."
Marven said in a hoarse voice.
Behind the counter, the sleepy girl yawned: "What does it need to be identified?" I'm also an appraiser, and I'm almost at the level of a senior appraiser. β
"You can't." Marven shook his head and said, "I need a master-level appraiser." β
"What?" The girl was taken aback.
A master-level appraiser? What exactly does it take a master-level appraiser to do?
She looked at Marven suspiciously: "Are you sure?" There are some things that I can identify. β
"Ancient goblin knowledge, and compound potions knowledge." Ma Wen said succinctly.
The girl froze in place.
These two kinds of knowledge are indeed something she hasn't mastered yet.
Only a master-level appraiser can be involved in both.
"Wait a minute. Our union currently has only one master-level appraiser. The girl said with some embarrassment:
"But he'sβhe's sleeping right now......"
"There's no hurry, I can wait." Marven casually found a place to sit down.
The girl looked at him with some curiosity, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how much a master-level appraiser costs?" β
Marven nodded: "From 5oo silver coins." β
"You really have so much money!"
The girl couldn't help but look at Marven with admiration. This guy looks thin and doesn't have much on him, does he have so much money?
Marven squinted, looked at the girl, and suddenly asked, "Are you still an apprentice?" β
The girl nodded, "I'm still studying with Master Cole." β
"It looks like you're not the only disciple of Master Cole." Marven said.
His eyesight is very poisonous, this girl is very sensitive to money, and her clothes are very plain, at first glance, her family background is not very good, but she is a little smart.
If Master Cole valued her very much, there was no need for her to work as a part-time teller.
The profession of appraiser still needs to spend a lot of money in the early stage, and it is already very good that she can learn to the point of being close to a senior appraiser with a poor family background.
The girl nodded honestly.
"My name is Hathaway. He was the twenty-seventh disciple of Master Cole. β
"How long is your apprenticeship?" Marven asked bluntly.
"Huh? It's about three months away. Hathaway answered Marven's question earnestly.
"Did anyone hire you?" Anyway, it was okay left and right, Marven simply began to try to see if he could dig a corner or something.
Unexpectedly, Hathaway actually shook her head: "The world is very difficult, sir." β
"Originally, last time, there was a head of the Chamber of Commerce in the Sailing City who invited me to go to the Sailing City to be their appraiser."
But then, he died on the way. Skinned. I heard that someone from the Twin Snakes Sect did it. β
There was a hint of fear in Hathaway's eyes: "No one dares to go out now." I'd rather be a teller in Riverbeach than have contact with those cultists. β
"I'm sorry." Marven was relieved and said, "Maybe it will be better after a while." β
Hathaway shook her head, apparently taking Marven's words as mere kindness from a stranger.
But in fact, Marven really considered hiring an appraiser. Even if she is only advanced, he can cultivate it slowly.
Although the White River Valley has not yet been recovered, Marven has begun to consider a series of operations after the recovery.
In this world, there is a very powerful and uncontrollable force, and that is the adventurers.
If Marven wants to expand the White River Valley quickly, he must rely on their strength.
He made a lot of efforts to do so. It doesn't work without a professional appraiser in the territory.
He and Hathaway chatted for a while.
It took more than an hour for Master Cole to appear.
β¦β¦
Ranger Guild in the VIP room.
Marvin and Master Cole sat at opposite ends of the table, while Hathaway stood cautiously aside.
"Deep Water Gems." Master Cole put down the magnifying glass and rubbed his eyes: "You kid is really lucky, this thing has a deadly ** power on artisan wizards, and it is said to be the most important material for making zuΓ² mechanical gargoyles." Without the Deep Water Gem, the mechanical gargoyle would be much less flexible. β
"This deep-water gem of purity can be processed into more than eight secondary gemstones, and then each of them can be made into mechanical gargoyles. The top wizards of the Southern Wizarding Alliance should have the blueprints of the mechanical gargoyle in their hands, and if you sell this thing to them, it can be worth a good price! β
Marven nodded quietly and put the gem away.
He had known that this gem was valuable, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable. If it was really a deep-water gem, Marven knew that a wizard who cultivated the plastic energy system would pay a very high price to buy it.
Because in addition to making zuΓ² mechanical gargoyles, it actually has another role, that is, Faqiang.
Little is known about this information, and only those who know wizards well can do it.
But in the current world of Fernan, only wizards know about wizards, and the rest of the people, even if they are masters of identification, are very unfamiliar with the realm of wizards.
Marvin is undoubtedly an exception.
He pulls out another item that needs to be identified.
It was the potion he got from the Crimson Monastery.
He could only recognize this thing by virtue of his vast experience, which had been processed through the GuΓ² Compound Potions.
I don't know if this master expert can give an answer.
Cole took the potion, his face extremely solemn.
Pharmaceutical identification has always been the most troublesome.
"5 Wizard Coins." Cole spoke, "No two prices." β
"Because I need to find a friend who is proficient in Potions to work with."
"And he's a real wizard apprentice."
Marven said decisively: "No problem! β
β¦β¦
Two hours later, when Marvin walked out of the Ranger Guild, it was already night.
In this appraisal, he spent 45oo silver coins in one go, but he didn't feel distressed at all!
Deep-water gems are just that.
The bottle of potion identified later was actually [Dragon Power]!
