Alien world

Chapter 63 Chapter 63. Big Purchase

The meditation ritual is a catalyst, aiding perception, affinity and magic.

Annan learned to cast spells, mastered meditation, and perceived the magic vortex, but he still couldn't enter the meditative state without the help of meditation rituals like Michael.

So he still needs the assistance of meditation rituals.

And to speed up the magic vortex and grow himself from a level 1 to a level 2 warlock, Annan needed more and better magic materials.

Seven hundred gold coins solved Annan's urgent need of lacking magic materials.You can even be extravagant and buy advanced magic materials or potions.

Then Annan flinched at the price on the label.

Seven hundred gold coins, one year's business tax revenue for one block, the income earned by hundreds of families for a whole year, can buy a precious magic ring.

If Annan was a commoner, he would buy a house in Breeze City, fall in love with a girl, and then grow old, until the day he died, there should be some left.But he is a spell caster, and the money can be spent in a blink of an eye, and then wonder "what did I buy?".

Annan had no choice but to add some magic materials, at least for now, he still needs to pursue cost performance.

After buying magic materials for nearly a month, and then purchased the yarn wheels, spindles and parts needed for 49 Susan spinning machines, this cost nearly two hundred kinnars.

This is still Annan's [-]% discount with the charm of the warlock.

The rest can no longer be moved, and Annan still needs money to hoard cotton.

Andrew Luna cleared an area for Annan in the warehouse.Now the spinning mill on the first floor and the spinning wheel factory on the second floor don't seem so out of harmony.

With proficiency, Dole was able to assemble a spinning wheel every day, but it was still too slow. Ms. Wine and Annan could not wait for fifty days before the price of cotton would increase.

Let Martin help...Annan didn't want to smash his own brand yet.

"Can you call your people to come and help?"

"is it okay?!"

Dole exclaimed in surprise that it had already begun to miss its people.

"Of course, but assembling a spinning machine is still 10 silver coins."

This is not a problem. Annan was very happy with a job with a weekly salary of 1 silver coin, let alone the poorer goblins.

Michael's carriage happened to be parked downstairs, and Annan ran to him to borrow a carriage and taught Dole how to drive the Mage Tower carriage.

"I want to buy something to bring back...the tribe will believe my words!" The clever goblin wanted to return to his hometown.

Annan thought for a while and there was nothing to do for the time being, so the purchase of cotton was completely handed over to Andrew Luna, who also joined the business.After asking where the market was, he took Dole to the market.

Dollet was not involved in the purchase of cotton.Cleverness is not the same thing as wisdom—Dollet is clever, but lacks the wisdom of experience.As far as it is concerned, it should be safe instead of taking risks.

"Food...clothes...tools..."

Annan put food last, and first bought a batch of iron picks, axes, and hoes for Dolei, tools that can improve the status quo of the goblin tribe, and then clothes.Goblins have a special liking for leather armor, but the new leather armor costs at least a few dozen silver coins, Dole muttered "too expensive, too expensive" and wanted to give up.But Annan knew where to find cheap leather armor - he heard it from the tavern.

……

The mage tower carriage drove into the alley behind the mercenary hall. The place was filled with people despite the smog and sewage.Fresh animal carcasses, soil-stained herbs, unknown magic props, and blood-stained weapons and leather armors were sold on the side of the road.

People who dream of discovering treasures and getting rich overnight are picking. Michael once sneered at this: "Who would sell good things on the junk street?"

But Dole still muttered about being expensive, and chose a stall that sold tattered leather armor by the pound.

"Are you sure?"

Annan asked if he wanted to buy these tattered dollies.

"Many of my clansmen don't even have clothes, and these leather armors are just right for the clansmen to wear after being mended."

Annan liked this frugality, so he bought this pile of leather, also weighing 56 pounds, at a price of 56 copper coins per pound.

Weapons were sold by the pound, too, but Dole had no interest in scrap iron, and goblins, though as short as dwarves, were not good at forging.And even for the incomplete second-hand weapons, the price made Dole's heart ache. He only bought a few missing blades, which are long swords and daggers for goblins.

At last they came to the grain shop, and filled the space left in the wagon.

Having purchased a wagon full of goods, Dole still had 3 kinnars left.On the side, it shows how expensive the spellcaster is, so that Annan is somewhat superior-I only have a small bag for a dozen kinnars.

"I'll bring my people back soon."

Dorley, assuring Annan, rode away like a house goblin in a white mage tower carriage.

Standing on the street and watching Dole leave, Annan was about to go back when he saw a dirty little boy standing on the side of the road, staring at the bakery and sucking his finger.

Annan went back to the tavern to get a pound of bread, approached the little boy and handed it to him, patted his head and turned back.

Those clear eyes stared blankly at the tavern, and soon, a girl dressed as a maid came to the boy with a bag of black bread.

"Let's go back."

The little boy looked up and said, "Sister, I saw my brother."

The girl smiled gently: "My brother is not in Breeze City, he is making money elsewhere."

"Really! He even bought me bread!" The little boy held up the bread incoherently. "This is what he gave me!"

……

Annan, who returned to the attic, was lying on the window sill, staring at the little spider in the glass bottle, thinking about the spinning wheel:

Dole and his tribe should return the day after tomorrow, and ten days will be enough to complete the 50 spinning wheels requested by the wine lady.But they need a place to work and live.

Luckily Andrew Luna was a big landlord.Running to him to ask for the site, Andrew Luna said: "I can't use up the warehouse, so set aside half for those goblins? The rent is just at the normal market price."

In the afternoon of the same day, Annan received an invitation letter from Ms. Fine Wine, inviting Annan to attend tomorrow's dinner.

Just as Annan was about to accept the appointment, Michael brought bad news: someone reported to the Mage Tower that he abused the carriage, and he was deprived of the right to use the carriage.

"It seems a bit of a coincidence..." Michael muttered to himself.

Without the shelter of the mage tower carriage, Annan's travel is no longer safe.

"Could it be the wine lady who is probing?"

"It's impossible! Well, in fact, we knew about the Reeves family in Pinglin Town, but we all kept the secret for you. If Ms. Wine wants to do something, it won't be now." Michael revealed part of the truth .

"Can you go to the banquet with me?" Annan thought about taking Michael to protect himself.

"But she didn't give me an invitation letter." Michael spread his palms, "And I'm just an ordinary mage... How many gold coins do you have left?"

"It's all at Andrew Luna's, about five hundred guineas?"

"Well, it's not enough. A magic ring that engraves the shield spell costs 1500 kinnars."

Annan was thoughtful at this moment.

"I'm going out."
