Wizard: Fusing Everything - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Super Magic Dust

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

This thing was not a brand-new creation. It had long existed in the Magi world and was very expensive.

According to the intelligence manual given by President Antlers Faner, Super Magic Dust was a breakthrough material.

It was used by peak apprentices to break through and become stage one Magis.

To advance from apprentice to official Magi, there were two most important points: Mental energy activation and physical body magic adaptation!

Super Magic Dust was an artificial material used for the second point. It was said that only Magis with Magi towers could make it.

They were produced in the Elemental Pool and could be sold for a price as high as 50,000 magic stones.

Self-taught wizards had no way to buy it, nor did they have that much money.

It was incredible to be able to obtain Super Magic Dust through the synthesis of magic energy soil.

Of course, this was not ordinary magic energy soil. How could soil that could produce magic energy be ordinary?

If not for the fact that the magic energy in the soil would gradually dissipate after leaving that special area, the salt swamp would have long been dug empty.

The synthesis of this thing consumed a lot of energy.

The reason why Lin Suo had been lazy for so many days was mostly because of it as its syntheses would often exhaust his “endless” energy and mental power.

He treated the Super Magic Dust as a strategic resource reserve and did not dare to sell it at all. After all, he was afraid of death.

Moreover, it was a little out of his range now, and he could not use it for the time being.

As such, he had no plans to go to the salt swamp again, for the time being.

At the very least, it would not be too late for him to get some soil when he broke through to the peak apprentice level and was only one step away from becoming an official Magi.

“Sigh… Even if I can get gold, I don’t dare to sell it. I can only sell antiques to make a living.”

…

The next day, Lin Suo dressed neatly, wearing a small hat and holding a cane in his hand. He slowly walked towards the headquarters of the antique guild.

The monthly membership fee that Lin Suo paid was as high as 1,000 gold. Naturally, his treatment improved.

With his knowledge of words thanks to this “language guru” skill, he was almost 100% accurate in appraising ancient books.

As for the antiques with epitaphs, they were a no-brainer. He could tell if they were real or fake just by the depth of the epitaphs.

He had already decided to enter the antique business so that he could enter the business circle of the Dandong nobles and merchants, at least on the surface.

This time, he was planning to use the connections he had made over the past few months to buy some precious antique appraisal books.

The accuracy of the common goods on the market was too low.

He had already tried eating books, but even after eating 20 of them, he still could not obtain the skill of “antique master”. This was very telling – there was too much fake content in those books.

Those cunning old foxes carried out the policy of obscuring the people too well. Plus, Dandong was full of nouveau riche. Harvesting these people’s wealth was all too easy.

Antiques were valuable in prosperous times, while gold was valuable in troubled times.

Currently, the Dandong Empire was at its peak.

It wasn’t too late to enter the industry. Of course, he would not come into contact with Old John himself.

The first contact was also the last.

He could not mess around with his connections. The right way was to let it develop slowly and steadily.

Now, Lin Suo was sitting in the VIP room and had just taken a few sips of tea. The tea of the Dandong Empire was more like milk tea, too sweet, with a lot of creamer and sugar added. He was not used to it at all.

Unwilling to give up, Lin Suo picked up the cup for the third time.

At this moment, the vice guild master of the antique guild walked in.

When he saw Lin Suo, the rich and knowledgeable big shot, he immediately beamed.

“Good day, Mr. Rhein. Welcome to the headquarters. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Lin Suo nodded and smiled.

“Vice Guild Master Colin, I need some real books on antique appraisal. Do you have anyone who can recommend them?”

Colin was a middle-aged elite with a physical body at the Intermediate Knight level. It was said that he came from a certain family in the imperial capital. Koster’s antique guild could be considered a private property established by him.

As for why he was the vice guild master, one would know if one asked the guild master who had the same surname…

“Treasured books.”

Colin was deep in thought.

“Mr. Rhein, you want to open an antique shop in Koster, right? That would require more professional knowledge.”

“That’s right. If…”

“We do have them, Mr. Rhein. Please wait for a while.”

Interrupting Lin Suo’s words, Colin quickly walked out and returned with a stack of papers, which he placed on the table.

“Mr. Rhein, these are the members of the antique guild who collect precious books. The first three have more than ten books in their collections. According to what I know, only one of them is staying permanently in Koster at the moment. He usually stays in the imperial capital of the Empire.”

Lin Suo frowned. Such books were like treasure catalogs.

They were all detailed introductions of the treasures of the various races in history. The original intention was to prevent fraud, so they paid great attention to the description of details.

In the hands of an antique dealer, they would naturally become the basis for appraisal.

Other than ordinary treasures, there were also records of a large number of extraordinary treasures.

It had to be said that the Dandong merchants had a very keen sense of business. These books could be passed down as family heirlooms.

Since those people could have those books in their possession for such a long time, they must be from Magi families… Power was the way!

It was a little troublesome.

As if he could see Lin Suo’s distress, Colin teased, “Sir, don’t you want to ask who is the only one left in Koster?”

Lin Suo looked at him in confusion.

“Could it be you?”

“You are amazing.”

“It really is you?!”

What?!

Colin thought for a moment and said.

“I’m from the Fire King family in the imperial capital. This is not a secret in Koster. Due to certain matters, I’ve almost never returned over the years. As for the ancient books I mentioned, you don’t have to worry about their authenticity. They were all collected by me in Koster these few years. Ordinary people don’t know what they are, but how can I not know? Once I meet someone who knows what they are, I can definitely be able to sell them for a high price.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t need money, I need a way.”

Lin Suo closed his eyes and pondered. It was already very obvious at this point.

“When did you find out?”

Colin smiled humbly. He had been observing Lin Suo for some time. Even if Lin Suo did not take the initiative to ask, it would not be long before he would take the initiative to ask for a deal.

“About a month after you joined the guild, I accidentally overheard something when that elven lady came to look for you.”

Lin Suo was speechless.

“Alright, tell me your offer first.”

“I have five Sea tribe ancient books, which contain a lot of secret knowledge. There are also two Beastmen tribe books and one from the Elves tribe, as well as about twenty-three incomplete books. Due to the severe damage, many of them are incomplete. They cover the knowledge of treasures of various races and were all brought by merchant ships.”

Lin Suo was very tempted, but it was not enough!

He shook his head.

“Seeing me, you should understand that this is an official Magi-level Meditation Technique. You can’t buy it in places like the Evening Bell Church, the White Tower, or the Marine Academy.”

Colin gritted his teeth and raised the bid.

“Another 100,000 gold coins?”

Seeing that Lin Suo still did not say anything, he bet all his money on it.

“I have an antique shop with a 30-year-old reputation. I opened it when I first started. I’ll give it to you as well. How about it?”

“Deal!”

Lin Suo smiled and extended his right hand.
