Chapter 465.
Chapter 465 – The Repository
The Baidong Academy was most likely treating ordinary people as expendable, and right now, there might be a shortage of everything in Archaeust City, but there just wouldn’t be a shortage of population.
And was the pair in front of him aware of the dangers their work might bring?
It wasn’t as simple as being sub-healthy.
The waitress, Violet, was unaware that Saul was worried about her health, and was guiding Saul in a low voice into the exhibition hall and introducing a few of the academy’s specialty products.
“…… This is Baidong Academy’s current best-selling experimental equipment set, and there are extremely precise scale meters on every piece of equipment. The manipulation dial here allows for pre-inputting formulas, and the equipment sets will automatically complete the basic potion configuration, saving manpower and material resources.” Veerle said with a smile.
Saul looked at the equipment that automatically began to mix primary healing potions under Wei’er’s control, smashed his mouth in his mind, and then inquired, “This requires the consumption of magic crystals, right? How long can a standard magic crystal be used.”
Veerle had obviously done her homework beforehand, and without even having to think about it, the answer came out of her mouth.
“The full set of equipment is continuously used, a standard magic crystal can last for 30 minutes.”
“30 minutes?” Sol’s eyes were stunned, and with great difficulty, he swallowed back the words, “Then why don’t I configure it myself?” The words were swallowed back into his throat.
Violet was not surprised by Saul’s surprise, she smiled and said, “Of course, this is only the most extreme state, when used by a normal division, it can usually be used by a Sorcerer Lord for 2 days.”
It didn’t feel like it was any cheaper.
Suo-Poor-er shook his head, his little algae was quite capable of doing some basic experimental work, and with its own food and lodging, it could also feed its owner in turn.
The two continued down the path.
After looking around the outer hall, Sol realized that the things on display here were basically used by sorcerer apprentices and wizards for experiments. And most …… of them are hard to say.
I don’t know how much of it can be sold.
In short Saul strolled around down, the same does not intend to shell out money to buy.
“Don’t they have any of those compressed traveling bags I saw on the airships here? I’ve heard they’re coming out with larger volume ones now.”
“Are they life-type sorcery props?” Veerle said the names of the sorcery props naturally, as if she was a sorcerer.
Sol nodded, and Veerle immediately led her down a corridor into the other half of the showroom.
As soon as she arrived at the new hall, Sol immediately had the feeling that she had entered a science and technology exhibition hall. It was the first time someone had focused so much on applying sorcery to everyday life.
He also saw a lot of facilities here that he had seen in Archaeust City.
For example, the engines of the lift and flight pods, the radiation-proof partitions that could be followed in the walls, the short-range, medium-range, long-range, and ultra long-range transmitters, and so on.
The common characteristic of these sorcery props was that ordinary people could also use them as long as they mastered the method. It did not require magic power or spiritual power to initially excite the props.
Saul couldn’t help but think of creating sorcery-type guns and even high-powered explosives.
In that case, wouldn’t ordinary people also be able to threaten full-fledged witches?
Guns are fast beyond ten paces, within ten paces ……
Well, sorcerers and martial arts are still different.
Just like Saul, he can inspire the 1st rank sorcery Spirit Armor Technique to defend himself with a single thought.
With his current thick magical power as well as his strong spiritual power, even if he just used a 1st rank defensive sorcery he could block a 2nd rank offensive sorcery from a sorcerer of the same rank.
The class division of sorcery did not only represent strength, but also the degree of difficulty and complexity. Many formal sorcerers still preferred to use low rank sorceries when fighting. It was quick to activate and could also raise the intensity by one or two orders if enough magic was gathered.
While Saul was thinking out loud, Violet finally brought him to the target item.
“This is the new version of the compressed traveling bag you are interested in. It now has a new name, Composite Space Storage, but of course, it’s fine if you want to continue to call it the Compressed Traveling Bag.”
Veerle directly picked up the Composite Space Storage and showed it to Saul.
The size of this new version of the compressed traveling bag was further reduced to the size of a matchbox, making it very concealable and easy to carry.
The internal space also grew from the original 3 cubic meters to 10 cubic meters, and the space could be freely customized to separate the space, so that the goods would not pile up in one place, making it inconvenient to find and take them.
“But the storage device is not fully developed at the moment.” Looking at Saul’s increasingly interested appearance, Veer reminded him.
“Oh, are there any flaws?” Saul immediately frowned and asked.
Just kidding, he was going to be ready to pay out of his pocket, okay?
“Because the space inside the storage device is too large, more energy is needed to maintain the stability of the space, and thus more energy is needed when switching the storage device on and off. The initiator developed by the academy is currently unable to provide such a large amount of energy, so ordinary people are unable to use the storage device, and you will also consume more energy when using it. Maintaining the stability of the storage device during normal times also requires additional magic crystals.”
“That means it can be used, but it costs magic and money.” Sol hugged his arms and thought about it.
If one traveled to the land of no man, one might have to be ready to run at any time, and that couldn’t be done with a cart full of luggage.
When he left the Sorcerer’s Tower this time, Saul’s compressed traveling bag was basically filled to the brim, leaving only a small amount of space for emergencies. The rest of the stuff was still on the wagon, which was also loaded with a whole lot of stuff.
“Or I can buy three or four compressed traveling bags, so there will be enough space.”
The compressed traveling bag was the size of a backpack, and carrying three or four backpacks, Saul felt it was fine.
“If I were you, I would definitely choose the compressed traveling bag.” Suddenly, an old man with a full head of white hair and a beard that turned into a twisted braid hanging down to his chest approached.
“Dean!” Violet, who was originally able to speak eloquently in the face of Saul, immediately lowered her head in a slightly terrified salute upon seeing the old man.
“Well, you go down. I’ll explain to this guest.” The old man waved his hand for Veerle to retreat.
Wei’er once again bowed deeply before walking towards the entrance.
Saul glanced at the old man and then at Veer’s departing back, and as far as visual enjoyment was concerned, he still preferred the latter.
However, the moment Saul withdrew his gaze, his eyes froze slightly again.
In his afterglow, the waitress Vail, who had just had a delicate face and slender figure, had turned into a horrifying figure that was as black and brown as a burnt corpse!
The slight twisting of the hips between the original walks had turned into a stutter like stagnant machinery.
But when Saul fixed his eyes and turned his head to look over again, Veer returned to her original appearance. It was as if the charred black body was just an illusion created by the overlapping of light and shadow.
Saul squinted his eyes slightly, and likewise saw a slightly transparent thin line above Veerle’s head, twisting and reaching for the sky.
“If Lord Saul prefers, I can have the Academy transfer her contract to you.”
Sol wasn’t surprised that the old man could call him by name; the second level apprentice at the gates recognized him as well, and it was clear that his resemblance wasn’t a secret in the wizarding community of the Baidon Academy.
“Does Baidong Academy still buy and sell people?” Sol put away the doubt in his eyes and turned his head to say jokingly.
“It’s just a work contract, but of course I think she would be happy to transfer the contract to your name. And provide you with everything.” The old man bit the word “everything” very hard and looked at Saul with the same flirtatious look.
