WIZ Chapter 121: Night Walker Cloak and Agility Bracelet
🕑 Added 2025-08-19 09:14:43 +0000 UTCKentri Furnace Workshop.
In front of the flame furnace alchemy circle, alchemist assistant Tyne wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, only to smear a patch of charcoal-like black across it. "I recommend you spend five hundred magic stones to purchase this Night Walker Cloak."
"Because this enchanted item best meets your requirements - it has sufficient defensive power, can resist apprentice-level spells, and is light enough that it won't affect your movement."
"It even has a certain invisibility ability. At night it will be in a semi-invisible state, moving like a blur of air. If you need to escape or track someone at night, it will be of great assistance."
Tyne enthusiastically introduced his work. "The Night Walker Cloak is made from Shadow Nightingale feathers."
"I used a three-phase transmutation circle, employing shadow stones and the magical alloy mithril to strengthen its original material, making it more lightweight, harder, and enhancing the feathers' invisibility ability to the next level."
"Its surface is combined with a layer of magical alloy - mithril, which can provide certain defensive capabilities. Of course, there are also some necessary enchantment runes on it, mainly used to enhance defense, which is the most insignificant small part of the entire enchanted item's ingenious design."
Tyne excitedly said, "I've tested it before. When hit by a 0.3-ring spell, it had no effect at all."
"It can even let a 0.8-ring spell hit you and you'd only suffer minor injuries. Of course, it would be easily damaged then." Tyne said, "At that time you can come to me for repairs."
"My principle here is that within one year, there is warranty service, and I can give you half-price repair costs."
Locke looked at the Night Walker Cloak in Tyne's hands. This garment claimed it could block spells for him, but it wasn't actually thick or heavy. On the contrary, it was very light, just like a thin undergarment that could be worn beneath outer clothing.
This was the skill of alchemists.
They strengthened and modified materials. In their hands, enchanted items often balanced performance with convenience.
Locke nodded satisfactorily and paid five hundred magic stones. "Not bad, I'll take it."
Currently, the wizard wars were very intense, so of course he needed to buy some things as life-saving measures.
A defensive enchanted item could provide great assistance in this regard.
Locke took off his white wizard robe outer garment, directly put on the Night Walker Cloak, then put his wizard robe back on.
Locke said, "Besides that, sell me an Agility Bracelet as well."
"I remember it's about three hundred magic stones each. You throw in three free recharging sessions, how about that?"
Tyne hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Alright, since you bought my magical alloy work last time and are buying my new work Night Walker Cloak this time, I'll sell this at a loss and give you three free recharging opportunities."
Locke smiled satisfactorily, saving a bit more money.
Agility Bracelets were also common alchemical items. These things were actually consumables, containing a hidden 0.7-ring Enchantment School spell [Light Body Wind Walk], but could only be activated once.
To use it again next time, one would have to ask an alchemist to recharge it.
The Light Body Wind Walk enchantment spell could change a wizard's body structure, making the wizard's body structure more lightweight. The bones would become similar to magical bird creature bones for 30 seconds, gaining wind elemental enhancement and instant speed improvement.
Locke's purpose in buying the Agility Bracelet was mainly for saving his life.
In critical moments, the most important thing wasn't defensive items that increased defense, but abilities that increased escape speed.
This Agility Bracelet was, to some extent, a common hot-selling product among alchemists, so all major alchemical workshops would sell them.
Tyne actively promoted his products, wiping sweat again with the towel, leaving a long black charcoal mark on his face. "I can see you've made a fortune recently, Augustine."
"How about buying a Kenreth Wizard Sword from me. This is a weapon I forged using a three-phase transmutation circle and high-temperature furnace transmutation circle. The design was created by my teacher during his first-class wizard apprentice stage..."
"If you buy it, I can give you a discount. It's very useful. Once it pierces an enemy, the wound it causes cannot heal... The blade is indestructible and cannot be broken..."
Locke shook his head, decisively paid three hundred magic stones, took the Agility Bracelet, then prepared to leave the shop.
He didn't need wizard swords at all. Magical plants were his best weapons.
Wizard swords were for wizard apprentices in magical categories that excelled at medium and long-range spell attacks but weren't good at close combat, such as the Evocation, Conjuration, Illusion, and Enchantment Schools.
But as a Life School plant magic sub-direction wizard, he had no need to use wizard swords.
Besides, he didn't have much money, so he needed to spend it wisely. There was no need to buy unnecessary things.
Buying them would just leave them gathering dust in his spatial ring.
Locke bid farewell to Tyne. Tyne couldn't stop loudly introducing his products at the door, but Locke was already walking toward the slave warehouse.
He found the previous trader, the dark elf Benny, then opened with a big deal, "This transaction is quite large. I need 80 minotaur noble slaves."
"Is the price still 10 magic stones each?"
Dark elf Benny was stunned. His brain felt like it had been hammered hard as he muttered, "Eighty? Eighty!"
"This is a bulk transaction. My qualifications might not be sufficient..."
He looked at the badges on Locke's body with awe. The dazzling first-class wizard apprentice badge and potion master's assistant badge made his speech somewhat breathless.
But just recently, this wizard before him was clearly only a second-class wizard apprentice.
Locke said coldly, "Then immediately find me someone who can handle this transaction. Benny."
Dark elf Benny tremblingly bowed to Locke. Those cold words made him shiver, and he quickly apologized, "Yes, respected Potion Master Augustine."
He turned and hurried into the shop. Soon he came out with a male blood elf wearing elaborate expensive clothing, tall in stature with pale skin.
This male blood elf was a first-class wizard apprentice.
He briefly sized up Locke, then smiled, "I am Manager Shelray of the slave warehouse."
"Respected customer, you must be expanding your botanical garden on a large scale or adding a new potion mass production line."
"Minotaurs are indeed relatively honest slaves with clean backgrounds. It's just that recently, due to too many buyers, minotaur noble slaves have experienced some price increases, rising from 10 magic stones per person to 15 magic stones per person."
Locke frowned in dissatisfaction upon hearing this.
For individual purchases, this price increase didn't make much difference, but with large quantities, it was a difference of four hundred magic stones.
Yet to fulfill his orders, he couldn't possibly buy inferior slaves, as that would only doom himself.
If those inferior slaves had problems, it would likely delay the botanical garden's production schedule.
Blood elf Shelray secretly observed Locke's expression, then immediately decided to lower the price.
Joking aside, a customer buying 80 slaves at once couldn't be allowed to just turn around and walk out.
That would be his absolute dereliction of duty.
What if the customer felt it was too expensive and didn't want to buy?
Then just lower the price.
For this kind of bulk transaction, even with a price reduction, he could still make a decent profit through volume sales, so there was no need to stubbornly stick to the original price.
Blood elf Shelray smiled, "But since you're purchasing such a large quantity at once, we'll still maintain the price at 10 magic stones per minotaur noble slave. That is, 80 minotaur slaves for a total of 800 magic stones."
"For volume sales, we still have profit to make."
Only then did Locke nod slightly, showing agreement. This price was acceptable to him.
If it had been the previous price, he might as well have switched to buying a different type of slave.
Locke said, "Then let's sign the contract. However, I need to inspect this batch of slaves first. You have stock in the store now, right?"
Blood elf Shelray said, "Of course. Although we don't have much inventory in the store, I can immediately transfer a batch from nearby regional stock and even let you choose from among them. Don't worry about this. We'll transfer them over tomorrow and let you select at will."
"Since we dare to sell these mortal slaves at such high prices, we naturally provide attentive service. These slaves have all been transformed by enchantment spells into perfect slaves."
Blood elf Shelray said proudly, "This is our professional ethics. Potion Master Augustine, you know that society always has many people who have unnecessary misunderstandings about those of us in this business."
"But those are all stereotypes."
"We are conscientious, moral, and principled... slave traders."
