Chapter 243 – Black Radiant Amber and the Seed of Evil Thoughts

Chapter 243 – Black Flare Amber and Seed of Evil Thought

Black Flare Amber, only stocked in the second warehouse.

It was hard to stock it in the hands of other apprentices.

Although it wasn’t a numbered type of item that prohibited unauthorized use, it was a byproduct of numbered items.

Number 89, earth attribute, quicksand termite queen.

And Black Flare Amber is a kind of grease secreted by the Quicksand Termite Queen.

The instrument storing No. 89 can provide food to the queen while automatically collecting the grease.

And the collected grease will be automatically sealed into a small ball and rolled down to the bottom drawer of the instrument. Over time, it oxidizes and turns black.

Because of the pure black color and the transparent gelatinous texture of amber, it was called Black Flare Amber.

He is said to promote limb regeneration and is also a key catalytic reactant for some rare potions.

Therefore the price is quite high.

However, if it was in exchange for ten copies of the Phantom Feather, it would still be a profit.

Saul slowly collected the surprise on his face, and even clasped his hands to his chest and leaned backward on the back of his chair.

This was a sign of rejection with his actions.

After Kukin made his request, his eyes were staring straight at Saul, and at this moment, seeing that Saul had no intention of getting up to answer the price, his face gradually became ugly.

“I… Can I trade credits with you?” Hu En, who was at the side, was originally disappointed when he heard that Ku Jin only accepted to exchange for the Black Flare Amber, but seeing that no one answered for half a day, he couldn’t help but voice out, wanting to try his hand at bidding.

However, Ku Jin was not a good-tempered person.

When Saul ignored him, he didn’t dare to get really angry, and just happened to vent the anxiety and depression in his heart on Hu En.

“Are you unable to understand the universal language?”

Kujin’s eyes glared, and when combined with his tall stature, it immediately scared Huon backward and he didn’t dare to speak.

“Is Kujin in such a hurry?” Saul’s mind was enlightened, “It seems like the real reason he and Ferguson wanted to catch me in the first place was the Black Flare Amber.”

Unfortunately, ten copies of the Phantom Feather weren’t worth Saul letting go of his prejudice, and he wouldn’t mind making Kujin’s lower half turn into two burnt matchsticks as well.

Kujin was still anxiously waiting for Sol’s choice, but the others couldn’t have been waiting for Kujin.

Rokai, who stood in the center as the moderator, gave everyone a few more minutes to think, and when he saw that there was still no answer, he closed both palms together.

“It seems that no one has bid on the last item yet, in that case ……”

“Wait!” Kukin, however, spoke up and interrupted Rokai.

He bypassed Rokai and directly took a few steps to walk in front of Saul, towering over him, just about to open his mouth, but then suppressed it for a moment before slowly saying, “Hoo, I’ll exchange the Seed of Evil Thoughts that I’ve been cultivating for three years for the Black Flare Amber …… can I?”

Rokai was directly interrupted and rolled his eyes unabashedly as he looked towards Sol, waiting for the latter’s answer.

“What is the Seed of Evil Thought?” Saul hadn’t heard of this thing and didn’t hide it, directly inquiring.

Ku Jin sniffed and stretched out his hand, with a pea-sized black seed in his palm.

The surface of the seed was mirror-smooth and could reflect a person’s shadow.

However, if one stared at it, one would realize that what was reflected was not one’s own shadow.

It looked a little weird.

“The Seed of Evil Thoughts is a seed generated under the infusion of different grievances and evil thoughts, and with its sprouted fruit as the foundation, a powerful spell can be made. There’s always no need for me to explain what a spell is, right?”

Kukin said later, his tone couldn’t be controlled and was still a bit stiff.

It was probably flesh pain.

As for what the spell was, Saul knew, of course.

Spells were somewhat like sorcery, including protective spells, attack spells, and the most common curses.

Unlike sorcery, spells had a certain degree of autonomy but lacked sanity. While powerful, it also had the possibility of getting out of control.

The Heidi behind Haywood’s head is a spell, and it should be a very powerful attack-type curse.

And Saul had encountered a curse as a freshman. That was Sid’s big move, the Triple Iteration Curse. Using three lives as bait for Saul’s life.

It was only the last step of the curse, the curse worm, was discovered by Saul before it entered Saul’s body, and was exterminated in time so that it didn’t pose a fatal hazard. Saul was already interested in this thing.

“What kind of curse will this Seed of Evil Thought cultivate?” He asked.

Kujin didn’t answer right away for a second.

“Heh.”

Instead, it was Jello who laughed first.

He even raised his hands as he laughed, “For the record, I don’t mean to get in the way of your transaction, but is it really good to take something like the Seed of Evil Thoughts which is like a gamble and trade it?”

At this point, if someone else had badgered him, Kujin probably wouldn’t have been able to resist swinging his fist over.

But in front of him was Jero, the strongest of the group of third level apprentices, and the group of apprentices most likely to become official wizards.

Cujin naturally didn’t dare to dislike him.

Unlike apprentices like Jero, Billy or even Wright who developed their own locator that best suited them, Cujin’s locator program was along the lines of what had already been verified by his predecessors.

Although this kind of program had high security and a high possibility of forming a locator, mass goods meant a low fit with Ku Jin himself.

Thus, Kujin, who had used this method to form a locator and had the honor of advancing to the third level of apprenticeship, had long since lost the qualifications to compete on the same stage as other apprentices using autonomous locators.

“Gambling?” Sol lowered his eyes, seemingly a little unpleasantly tricked, “Is it possible that the fruit born from this Seed of Evil Thoughts can’t produce a powerful spell?”

“Whether it is strong or not depends on your luck. If your luck is really bad, you won’t even be able to make a spell.” Jello took the initiative to explain.

Ku Jin immediately retorted, “If the quality of this Seed of Evil Thoughts was not good, would I have worked hard to cultivate it for three years?”

Jero just smiled faintly, all in good time.

However, at this time, Sol said firmly, “I’ll accept this deal, we’ll discuss it in detail after the exchange meeting.”

Ku Jin was overjoyed and almost handed the seeds in his hand directly to Sol.

“You’re quite the adventurous person.” Jero stroked his chin and didn’t stop him.

And after Kujin left, Sol continued to look ahead of himself until his diary closed and flew back over his left shoulder.

It was.

The reason why Saul suddenly agreed to Kujin’s deal was because the diary looked at the other party’s seeds.

[Sol Calendar 316, July 22, Sunny

The seeds of evil thoughts are of uncertain merit.
But this one in front of you.
It’s clearly not simple.
It will open the door to a new world for you.

As to whether or not you want to go in.

As for whether you want to go in or not, you still need to decide for yourself.

“Who cares if you want to walk in or not, let’s get the gate first.”

Saul had to admit that he had been a bit stuck in his ways in the past.

As a matter of fact, no one who could become a sorcerer apprentice, especially a third level sorcerer apprentice, was simple.

Even if there were variations in their ability and talent, they more or less had their own means and opportunities.

“I can properly participate in some of such high stage exchanges in the future. Just be careful of Luo Kai’s purpose behind it. But if he wants to test me, I can test him in turn.”

When Ku Jin returned to his seat, Rokai finally had the chance to finish what he had just left unfinished.

“Alright, it looks like today’s exchange has a finished ending as well. Then, without delay, I will still inform you all three days before the next exchange of water. I hope everyone will still be alive to participate by then.”

With Rokai’s incantation, the parchment on the floor closed up, and the spell formation covering the entire room expired.

The doors opened and the crowd left one by one.

But the few who had reached a deal were in no hurry to leave.

They still had many things to do.

Especially the kind of people who had bought and sold many items.

Although both Wright and Kukin had their own businesses to attend to, they without exception chose to come to Saul first after the exchange of water had ended.
