Magus Tech Chapter 119: Gems and spellcasting materials
On the other side, Li Cha didn't know what happened to the mine and Maren after he left, so he just led Gero and his party to the next target location.
To make cobalt blue, three raw materials are needed: cobalt ore, aluminum oxide, and phosphoric acid.
The cobalt ore has already been obtained, and the phosphoric acid already exists, so the problem of alumina must be solved now.
Generally speaking, in the current world similar to the Middle Ages, everything related to metal aluminum is not very easy to get. The main reason is that the extraction of aluminum is difficult due to the limitation of the current world's technological level. Because of this, the Blue Lion Kingdom chose to use the experimental method to prepare ether instead of the industrial method catalyzed by metal aluminum.
However, as a compound that is closely related to metal aluminum, alumina is a relatively different kind of existence. The scientific name of alumina is aluminum oxide (al2o3), which is undeniably rare and precious in the current world. But it can be obtained directly through the easiest way, by purchasing. Because aluminum oxide has another name called corundum, also known as ruby.
Yes, Ruby.
…
Golden City, in the VIP room of a jewelry store.
Li Cha and Gero sat at the table, and the nearly sixty-year-old jewelry store owner stood respectfully beside him, casting a look or two at the door from time to time, showing a little anxiety.
"Da da da", during the long wait, small footsteps sounded, a loyal steward of the jewelry store walked in carefully with a black walnut box, and nodded to the owner of the jewelry store.
The owner of the jewelry store breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to quickly take the box, turned around and gently placed it on the table, and opened it, revealing a huge ruby inside.
Looking at Gero, the owner of the jewelry store asked tentatively, "His Royal Highness, look, this is the biggest ruby in our store. Does it meet your needs?"
Ge Luo didn't make a sound, but turned to look at Li Cha.
Li Cha glanced at Ruby and nodded slightly.
Ge Luo looked at the owner of the jewelry store, and immediately said without any fuss: "Tell me, how much is it, I want it."
"Uh, this..." The owner of the jewelry store hesitated a little, feeling tricky about asking the price. If the price is said to be high, I am afraid of offending the prince Ge Luo, and if the price is said to be low, the store will lose money.
In this case...
The owner of the jewelry store didn't come up with an idea for a long time.
Ge Luo was a little impatient and urged: "How much is it?"
The owner of the jewelry store had no choice but to bite the bullet and make an offer.
"One hundred..." The owner of the jewelry store tentatively said, staring at Gero's expression, he wanted to say the price of more than one hundred gold coins, but when he saw that Groo's eyebrows were slightly frowned, he immediately put the price behind the one hundred Swallowing the number into his stomach, he said bluntly, "One hundred...uh, gold coins."
One hundred gold coins, this is the price of the huge ruby in the box, it is not expensive, but it is still a huge sum of money.
Li Cha looked at Gero.
Ge Luo was really not verbose. With a wave of his hand, the guards under him opened the money bag, counted the gold coins and threw them to the jewelry store owner, then picked up the ruby box and walked out the door.
Bowing to send Li Cha, Ge Luo and his party away, the owner of the jewelry store walked back into the store, and couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat. The ruby's selling price of one hundred gold coins can only be said to be the cost price. Considering the storage costs in the store, it is already a bit of a loss. But in the face of His Royal Highness the prince of the kingdom, he can only admit that he is unlucky and hope to earn back from the rest.
The owner of the jewelry store was thinking, and when he walked into the VIP room, his body froze suddenly, and he saw a person wearing a black hood with his entire face hidden in the hood sitting in the VIP room, as if appearing out of nowhere Same.
"You are..."
"I'm just a shopping customer, don't be nervous." The man in black said lightly, "I came to your shop for a very simple reason, I need to buy some low-level spell-casting materials, um, of course, They are just gems in your eyes."
"Um..."
"Bring all the gems in your store, I want to pick them."
"This..." The owner of the jewelry store looked at the man in black and felt an inexplicable pressure, which was even greater than what he felt from Ge Luo. He couldn't help but wanted to shout, but there was another voice in his heart Tell him it's best not to do it.
The man in black looked at him without moving for a long time, and reminded him aloud: "My time is precious, you better hurry up."
"Ah, yes, yes." The owner of the jewelry store responded, pursing his lips, and finally walked out with a little complicated heart.
…
A moment.
The table in the VIP room is full of wooden boxes of different sizes, all of which have been opened, revealing gemstones of various colors inside.
The man in black looked at all the gems on the table, and finally selected a few of them with a little disgust, and said to himself: "It really is a barren land, basically there are no usable ones. The quality is extremely poor, but that's the only way to go."
"Then customer, how are you going to pay..." the owner of the jewelry store said, but stopped abruptly the next moment, and saw the man in black turn around, revealing a face under the robe, with a pair of eyes shining. The oily green light, like two will-o'-the-wisps burning, looked straight at him, making his hair stand on end.
"Do you know, originally I wanted to kill you directly, this is the easiest way." The black-robed man said, his tone was a little gloomy, but then his tone changed, "But... since you are so obedient, I I think I will give you a return."
Raising his hand, a purple ball of light the size of a date appeared on the fingertips of the black-robed man, sending it towards the forehead of the jewelry store owner.
The jewelry store owner was extremely frightened and wanted to run away, so frightened that he wanted to shout. But he found that his body was locked and he couldn't run at all. His throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound. He could only watch helplessly as the purple ball of light got closer and closer to his forehead, then submerged under the skin and entered in the body.
The moment the ball of light entered his body, the owner of the jewelry store shook his body suddenly. He felt a sudden heat all over his body, his brain went blank, and his eyes showed a confused and dull look.
"What I give you is the special energy that can prolong your life for two years. It should be fair as the price for purchasing spell-casting materials." The man in black said, "Of course, there is one condition that you must Forget about me, forget about everything that comes into contact with me. That’s it.”
After speaking, the figure of the man in black twisted violently, and disappeared into the VIP room like green smoke.
For a long time~IndoMTL.com~The owner of the jewelry store seemed to be awakened from his sleep. He blinked his eyes and looked around. When he saw various jewelry boxes opened on the table, his eyes widened and he couldn't help shouting: "Come on, come on! Come on!"
Soon, the loyal steward ran in, looked at the owner of the jewelry store, and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"
"This..." The owner of the jewelry store pointed at the many boxes on the table with trembling fingers, and asked, "This...what is going on here? Shouldn't these boxes be locked in the warehouse and What’s in the counter, why did you bring it here?”
"Boss, didn't you ask me to bring these in? Just now I asked you why, but you didn't tell me the reason, why..."
"This..." The owner of the jewelry store was stunned, frowning deeply, and couldn't help rubbing his gray hair. After rubbing for a while, he put down his hand, and suddenly found a reddish-brown hair that had been pulled out between his fingers. This is the color of his hair when he was young, but now...
The owner of the jewelry store was completely stunned.
