Chapter 38 Spell Scroll
“What about the percussion technique?” Godard noticed that Pierre had not finished speaking and asked.

“Knock is only a 1st level spell.”

“It’s just a 1st level spell.” Gode pursed his lips, wanting to complain about Pierre’s easy talking without any pain in his waist.

In a place like Hogan City, 1st-level mages are the ceiling, and there are only a few of them in the entire city.

Therefore, a 1st level spell could not be described as “just” no matter what, but he also understood that it was in comparison with dispel magic.

After understanding this, Gao De’s restless heart finally calmed down.

He understood that it would be unlikely for him to open the wooden box left by Master Seda in a short period of time.

“What? You want to unlock the secret lock without unlocking the spell?” Pierre suddenly said with a hint of meaning.

When Gao De heard this, he immediately became alert.

He just looked at Pierre, who looked calm, and hesitated for a moment. He realized that he had already said this much, and there was no point in trying to hide it. Finally, he nodded and said, “Yes, it just doesn’t look that simple.”

“It’s really not easy. There are not many 1st-level mages in Hogan City, and it’s almost impossible to find one who masters the knocking spell.”

Pierre affirmed: “Although the knocking spell is common, it is too unpopular in terms of spell effect. It will never be the first choice for mages to learn spells.”

“Only those with specific needs or senior 1st-level mages can master this spell.”

Pierre’s words undoubtedly made Gode’s heart sink even more.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Learning magic requires a lot of money, energy and time.

Therefore, when learning spells, mages will try their best to avoid “unpopular” spells that are not very practical, and pursue spells with high power or high applicability.

As if he could see Goder’s disappointment, Pierre chuckled and said, “However, in certain situations, these unpopular spells often have irreplaceable effects and cannot be completely ignored.”

“So, for these spells that are not usually used but are needed at certain times, mages often do not choose to spend a lot of energy to learn and master them, but choose to buy spell scrolls as a reserve for dealing with emergencies.”

“Spell scroll?”

This is a familiar yet unfamiliar term. It is familiar because in the games or novels of Gaode’s previous life, the “spell scroll” was a classic prop that was often seen.

It was strange because spell scrolls were something he had never seen before in this world.

“A spell scroll contains a pre-written spell, allowing a wizard who does not possess the spell to use the spell written on it once and for all.”

“To use a spell scroll, you don’t need to consume your own mana. You just need to meet the mental power requirements on the spell scroll.”

“Also, almost all types of low-level spells have corresponding spell scrolls, which can greatly satisfy the wizard’s spellcasting flexibility and ability to deal with emergencies.”

“It can be said to be an extremely important magical item for every wizard.” Pierre explained to God.

“There is no store selling spell scrolls in Hogan City.” Gode confirmed. He had been to the commercial district several times during this period, and had not seen any store selling spell scrolls.

“That’s for sure. Only a scroll master who has mastered the corresponding spell can create a spell scroll of the corresponding spell.”

Pierre sighed, “Although scroll masters are not as noble as rune masters, they are not much different from rune masters in terms of rarity. Usually only large mage organizations have the corresponding professional knowledge inheritance.”

“So, spell scrolls can only be purchased from these formal wizard organizations.”

“And they are usually released in limited quantities. Once they are put on the shelves, the popular spell scrolls will basically be sold out within an hour, and the less popular spells will basically be gone within a day.”

If you want to buy one or two spell scrolls, you need a certain amount of luck. This is the case in big cities. Where can you find spell scrolls in a small place like Hogan City?”

Gao De was not disappointed when he heard this, because he knew that Pierre would not go to such great lengths just to give him a spell scroll. So he patiently waited for Pierre’s next words.

“But,” Pierre paused, leaving the question in suspense.

Gao De also cooperated very well and asked, “But what?”

“I have a friend in Bremen, he’s a wizard from the Emerald Alliance,” Pierre introduced patiently, “The Emerald Alliance is one of the three major wizard associations in Bremen.”

“So, it’s possible for me to get a few spell scrolls through him from internal channels.”

“It just so happens that I have to go to Bremen for some business in a while.”

“If you need it, I might be able to get you a spell scroll for knocking.”

Pierre finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Godet quietly, waiting for his decision.

“How much does a spell scroll of knocking cost?” Gao De grasped the crux of the problem.

“Although spell scrolls are in short supply, they are only disposable items, so the price is not particularly high.”

“Six to seven Sean gold coins. This is the average price of a first-level spell scroll.”

The average price of a 1st level extraordinary item is 65 gold coins.

The price of a 1st level spell scroll is only 1% of that of a st level extraordinary item.

It seems that the price difference is still very obvious, but the former can be recycled, while the latter is just a disposable consumable.

Taking this into consideration, you can see that this is a very fair and reasonable price.

This is the price law of commodities.

6 to 7 Sean gold coins is also a considerable expense.

With the current output of the medicine garden, it will take about half a month to save this money.

However, Gaode believed that the property that was so solemnly protected by Master Seda with a secret lock must be worth far more than this number.

This is a business that is sure to make money.

“What else do I need to give?” Gao De asked very consciously.

Pierre used his connections to bring him the spell scroll all the way from Bremen. Since he had no relationship with Pierre, it was impossible for him not to pay extra compensation.

There is no pie in the sky.

Unexpectedly, Pierre actually shook his head and looked straight at Goder’s slightly childish but unusually calm face. “You only need to pay the cost of purchasing the spell scroll itself.”

Goder lowered his eyes slightly. After a moment of silence, his slightly wrinkled brows relaxed. He raised his eyelids and looked directly at Pierre, “Then I’ll trouble you.”

“As for the money to buy the spell scroll.”

“Don’t worry, wait until I bring back the spell scroll of knocking before you pay.” Pierre waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
