Chapter 52 Basic Magic Potion
Gao De was shocked and realized that he was not cautious enough and was too impulsive.

He had recently bought from Pierre a scroll of the knocking spell used to suppress the arcane lock, and now he was acting like a “nouveau riche”.

Anyone who thinks about it can figure out the meaning behind this.

Fortunately, Pierre was not a person with ulterior motives, and it was estimated that when he was trying to solve the [Secret Lock], Pierre had roughly guessed something.

But Gao De was still shocked and learned his lesson.

Don’t be so complacent in the future.

“Not bad, not bad,” Gao De laughed and passed over the topic, then bowed and said, “Then I look forward to your good news.”

After agreeing on a specific time with Pierre, Gode said goodbye and left.

The old man glanced at Gao De’s back as he left, and muttered in his heart: “This kid seems to be getting more and more complicated.”

Pierre agreed to his request. Even though he might not be able to win, Goder was in a good mood.

At that time, Yom brought a total of five spell recipes.

It was just because of limited financial resources that he could only choose the three most suitable ones according to his own situation: [Acid Splash], [Freeze Ray], and [Increase Resistance].

The remaining [Blade Protection] and [Reading Magic] were temporarily abandoned.

The reason why I turned back and wanted to contact Yom again and buy the remaining two spell formulas from him is that I have a lot more money on hand.

Secondly, he really needed the two spell formulas that he had given up at the beginning.

In order to obtain the origin, Gaode will sooner or later have to confront the earth creatures.

[Blade Protection] that can protect against physical damage becomes particularly important.

What’s more, Gao Deyou remembered the last time he was ambushed by three unemployed miners in the city.

Although I was only slightly injured at the time, and I managed to force them back with spell punishment, I still get scared when I think about it now.

As the saying goes, no matter how good your martial arts are, you will still be afraid of kitchen knives.

One reason.

At least if you master [Blade Protection], you don’t have to be afraid of the kitchen knife anymore.

As for [Reading Magic], it is of utmost importance to Gaode.

It can even be said that this is his primary goal.

Not to mention that as a wizard, if you don’t master the ability to decipher magic texts, you will encounter a lot of inconvenience in the future.

Just looking at the present, Gaode also has reasons to master the [Reading Magic].

——He wanted to use [Reading Magic] to decipher the magical text on the scroll of unknown origin in the legacy of Master Seda.

How can one not be curious about what is recorded on a scroll that looks extremely precious just by looking at its appearance?
After leaving Pierre’s Grocery Store, Gode did not return directly to the medicine garden.

He thought about it, and finally made a detour to the Rose Potion Shop, which was located at the end of the street, farthest from Phil’s Potion Shop.

There are three most famous potion shops in Hogan City:
Phil’s Potion Shop, Phantom Potion Shop and Rose Potion Shop.

The three potion shops all want to dominate the market and monopolize the potion market in Hogan City, so the competition among them is extremely fierce, and they are incompatible with each other.

Come to the potion shop to either sell or buy medicine.

Gaode’s goal is the latter.

Now that he had a huge sum of money in his hands, Gao De began to think about things he had not dared to do before.

He was prepared to lavishly purchase “Basic Magic Potion” to assist in his practice of Guidance.

However, it cannot be purchased at Phil’s Potion Shop.

He had already aroused the suspicion of Phil’s Potion Shop clerk. Naturally, he had to go to another potion shop to buy basic magic potions to be safe.

The market price of “Basic Mana Potion” is 6 gold per set.

A first-class wizard apprentice can use up a set of basic magic potions in 6 days.

That is to say, if Gao De wanted to drink basic magic potions continuously, the 50 gold left by Master Seda could only support him for 50 days of practice. Although Gao De was a “miser” on weekdays, he could still tell the difference between realm and money.

Besides, as your strength improves, it will become easier to make money.

This is also true.

Stepping into the door of the Rose Potion Shop, Goder glanced around the store and did not see any basic magic potions for sale.

But he didn’t leave disappointed.

There are still too few wizards in small cities, so the potions sold in potion shops are mainly potions that ordinary people can use.

Potions like basic magic potions, which are specifically for use by mages, are not necessarily displayed in pharmacies.

The shop assistants were very observant. Before Gao De could ask any questions, a young male clerk approached him and asked, “Hello, sir. What can I do for you?”

He saw Godard’s eyes scanning the containers as soon as he came in, obviously looking for the potion he needed.

These guests rarely need sales pitches and almost never leave empty-handed.

But seeing that Gao De had almost scanned the store but still didn’t speak, he guessed that Gao De probably didn’t find what he wanted, so he hurried forward to greet him.

“Are there any basic magic potions for sale? I don’t see any.”

“Of course we have it, it’s just in the medicine cabinet. Wait a moment, I’ll get it out for you.” The clerk looked at Gao De with a little surprise.

Gode ​​was wearing brown linen, the typical attire of commoners.

And the basic magic potion is obviously a “luxury product”, he didn’t expect that Goder’s target would be it.

Although he was surprised, the clerk had already squatted down in front of the medicine cabinet next to the counter, then took out an exquisite box from the drawer, carefully placed it on the counter, and opened it in front of Gao De.

Inside the box were three small bottles of potion, the liquid of which was a crystal blue.

“Look, guest.”

Gao De’s heart moved, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

【Detect Magic】

At this moment, in his eyes, a medium-brightness light that was invisible to others was flickering on the potion bottle.

The condition is pretty good.

After inspecting the goods, Gaode was satisfied.

“How much is a set?” he asked as usual.

“Sir, one set only costs 6 gold and 10 silver. Our store has clearly marked prices and we don’t bargain.” The clerk said with a smile.

“Isn’t the market price of basic magic potion 1 gold per set?” Gao De’s expression changed and he could no longer remain calm.

“That’s right,” the clerk patiently explained, “but recently, due to the frequent appearance of leyline creatures outside the city, many outsiders have rushed to our Hogan City.”

“You know, a large number of these outsiders are wizard apprentices, and they also buy basic magic potions to drink.”

“If there hadn’t been this unexpected situation, the sales of basic magic potions in our pharmacy would have been very stable, and the number of sets we could sell in a year would have been roughly the same.”

“So we were very restrained in stocking up. Now with all this commotion, it’s obvious that we can’t keep up with the stocking up. So we have no choice but to raise the prices.” The clerk spread his hands and said as a matter of course.

“It’s not just us. If you go to Phil’s Potion Shop or Phantom Potion Shop and ask, they’ll give you the same price.”

Again, the market determines the price.

“Okay,” Gao De could only admit defeat after hearing this. He gritted his teeth in hatred and said, “Give me two sets.”

“Okay!” The clerk immediately squatted down enthusiastically and took out another set of basic magic potions from the medicine cabinet.

Any business worth more than 10 gold coins is considered a big order in the store.

Gao De carefully took out the purse from his pocket, counted out 13 gold coins and paid them to the clerk.
