Chapter 236 Role Reversal

Tesla is a first level apprentice, so he only has about 150 magic crystals. This money is also considered public funds which were pooled together by his team. So, it was absolutely impossible for him to come up with 300 magic crystals.

“Good good, I’ll remember you! I’ll be seeing you around!” Tesla had never felt so humiliated in his whole life. His face wasn’t only beaten in front of everyone, but also exposed. Even his beliefs that brought him great pride were trampled underfoot. He had believed he was richer than his peers. But today, he was being slapped silly by a kid on the same level. How can he be happy with this result?

Tesla dropped a cruel threat that neither hurt nor itched before turning around to leave.

At this moment, Promi suddenly asked: “Is the news you’re talking about the message of Sky Machinery City’s Purification Garden opening?”

Promi’s question gave Tesla and Queena a pause. Their eyes flickered and expressions revealed some guilt.

“I remember as I was walking over just now, Mission Hall had already begun spreading the news.” As soon as Promi’s voice fell, a group of wizard apprentices can already be seen rushing to Promi Alchemy Shop from a distance.

One man in the group of wizard apprentices was also dressed in luxuriously gorgeous clothes. But when compared to Tesla’s outfit, it made his clothes look more like a cheap knockoff, while the man’s outfit is the real deal. He was sweeping all kinds of alchemy weapons and quickly putting them on the counter. The alchemy weapons bought by him were handed over to the apprentice-brothers behind him. He swept through all the weapons Angel had offered to sell here and even the Chinese kitchen knife wasn’t left behind.

All of a sudden, the luxuriously dressed man noticed the sickle in the glass box as his eyes lit up.

“How much is this sickle?” The luxuriously dressed man asked anxiously, keeping his eyes on Tesla and the others for fear that the sickle would be snatched away by them.

“400 magic crystals.” Angel’s eyelids didn’t blink as he quoted a sky-high price.

This price made everyone stare with wide eyes. Just a few minutes before, Angel had unexpectedly raised the price another 100 magic crystals! Isn’t he really scamming this guy? This price is four times higher than the price offered by Tesla!

Everyone secretly glanced at Tesla… If someone actually bought it for four times his price… Then wouldn’t the shouting from Tesla before mean he was insulting himself?

The luxuriously dressed man frowned and muttered: “Not bad.” Then, without hesitation, he took out his bone card and directly swiped 40,000 contribution points.

400 magic crystals paid immediately! With the addition of the other alchemy weapons he bought, the luxuriously dressed man had spent over 600 magic crystals after entering the shop!

This is a price that everyone around couldn’t fathom. Even Promi, who is accustomed to seeing big customers, has repeatedly looked askance at the luxuriously dressed men.

Tesla recalled when he yelled at Angel “you actually don’t want to sell it, do you?” when Angel quoted 300 magic crystals. As a result, in a twinkling of an eye, someone had spent 400 magics for the sickle, not even attempting to bargain. This to him was absolutely ** up his naked face, this loss of face was even worse than what had experienced before!

Tesla’s face was really blushing and mottled this time.

Queena, who was standing next to him, hid her face in embarrassment. She had previously assisted Tesla by saying that “Tesla’s [hand movements] is unimaginably big.”

Ha ha, really too big to imagine. As she recalled this scene, Queena was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack to drill into. She unconsciously looked at Tesla with a hint of resentment.

On the other side, after the payment and delivery of goods, the luxuriously dressed man couldn’t help playing with the sickle. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became at his decision.

“Ha ha ha, I found a bargain today! With this sickle, I will have no problems reaching the top of Sky Tower!” The luxuriously dressed man laughed out loud. In fact, it wasn’t actually too difficult to reach the top of Sky Tower. Because if no accidents happen, third level wizard apprentices will basically not come out to fight in matches. So, the ordinary second level wizard apprentices, with a ranked alchemy weapon, are likely to reach the top. This is without taking into account their talent.

He couldn’t help but feel grateful to Angel who had sold him this sickle: “I’ll remember you. If you have any troubles in the future, you can give my name—Landberht!”

The same phrase Tesla said, Landberht also said “I’ll remember you” to Angel. However, even with the same phrasing, the meaning of the same phrase was completely difference

Landberht had spent 400 magic crystals and bought the sickle with an expression of picking up a bargain. He had even expressed his thanks to the seller on the spot. Angel offered to sell it for 300 magic crystal to Tesla but received a burst of abuse instead. The contrast between these two shows how truly ungrateful Tesla was.

Tesla’s face had changed from red to black, and he even wanted to run away on the spot. But then he’d lose even more face and be completely disgraced.

“Thank you. My name is Angel.” Angel nodded slightly.

Landberht turned to leave without much delay after getting the sickle.

When he passed Forsa and Lafitte and saw the tang knife in their hands. Landberht curled his lips and said nothing. But when he passed Tesla and Queena and saw their empty hands, Landberht couldn’t help sneering: “Poor wretches.”

In the eyes of this group of apprentices, Tesla and Queena dared not refute.

Landberht laughed loudly, then took his younger brothers following behind him out in a high-spirited manner. Just like when he came in. The smoke billowed as they disappeared at the end of the street.

When Landberht left, there was a brief silence from the bystanders in the shop.

A few seconds later, there was a burst of laughter.—

“Poor wretches? Hahaha, today I really saw a good show!” Forsa’s face is already quite fat. So, at this time, no one could see his eyes through the wall of fat while he smiled.

Lafitte looked contemptuously at Tesla and said: “Looking at that guy’s cheerfulness and gratitude. Clearly, Angel was kind enough to reduce the price for you, but some people are just too cheap and even scolded the seller as being rude. How can someone scold another as rude when they don’t know what it means. It’s ridiculous pretending to be rich when you don’t have any money also!”

Tesla isn’t in the mood to quarrel with him at this moment. He has been hit hard by a blow to the ** today. Especially when Landberht finally satirized him as a “poor wretch.” He felt the faith that had been supporting him fall apart.

“Hum! Why are you still here? If you don’t want to leave, do you want to stay and continue losing face?” Queena also didn’t have time to listen to sarcasm of others. She pulled Tesla’s hand and turned to leave. Before leaving, she took a deep look into Angel’s eyes, giving a fixed and cruel glare as one would see from a poisonous snake.

When they finally left, David let out a loud laugh and said:

“Angel, you were so handsome this time! Unfortunately, these were just a few unimportant people. If would’ve been great if Naru were here.” David said.

“Wasn’t I handsome before?” Angel raised his eyebrow.

“You were handsome before too!” David shouted in support.

However, David said with a little worry:

“The woman left with a terrible look in her eyes just now. I guess they already have a grudge against you.”

Angel waved his hands to show he didn’t care and said: “They can hold all the grudges they want if they don’t mess with me. If they want to mess with me, he he.”

At this moment, Forsa stepped forward and bowed respectfully: “I really want to thank you very much for this time. Otherwise, we will lose face today, be left unable to finish the boss’s task and will have to find another thigh to grab again.”

Forsa looked slightly down at Angel when he said: “Can we change to your thigh?”

Angel quickly refuted and said: “Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t do it to stand up for you. If there’s nothing else, please turn around and leave, we won’t be seeing you off.”

Forsa wanted to continue asking questions, he wondered where Angel got the two alchemy weapons. But he was pushed away by Angel’s ** naked refusal. He wanted to have good relations with Angel, so he just smiled and reluctantly left with Lafitte.

“Master, what do you mean by the news of the Purification Garden? How come everyone came to buy up all the alchemy weapons? Someone even bought a weapon for 400 magic crystals, is the news incredible? ” David asked.

Promi said with a smile: “You should ask Angel… he knew long before anyone else found out. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone climbing Sky Tower especially. Am I right?”

Angel smiled and told the news he heard about Sky Tower and the Purification Garden.

“No wonder you let me sell it in a month and a half. You knew there would be a huge price increase.” It suddenly dawned on David.

David didn’t care Angel didn’t communicate this to him in advance. Even if Angel had told him at the time, with his combat effectiveness, he wouldn’t have reached the top.

They talked a little more about what had just happened. After a while, Promi couldn’t help getting down to business and said:

“Angel, have you… Have you found the undead restraint magic pattern?” Promi’s expression is a little bit hopeful as he asked expectantly.

Angel replied: “I didn’t find a magic pattern that can purely restrain the undead.”

Promi’s eyes were slightly dim, but Angel’s next words gave him hope.

“But I have a magic array that can now somewhat restrain the undead. The name of this magic array is called: Overture of Death. Have you ever heard of it?” Angel asked.

Overture of Death? Promi thought for a moment in his head and shook his head with a wry smile as he said: “I don’t have much research on magic pattern enchantments. Even less on magic arrays. I only know a few popular magic arrays. I really haven’t heard of the array you’re talking about.”

David asked: “Angel, have you begun learning magic array enchantment now?”

In David’s mind, alchemy products made by magic array enchantments are at least mid to even high-level alchemy products. If Angel can really refine one, won’t he be comparable to Master Promi or even better?

Promi also looked at Angel with curious eyes.

“I have personally tried it, and I don’t know if I can do it. The question of whether or not I can learn it will be discussed later. At present, the largest hurdle for me is that my magic power isn’t enough. With my lack of magic power, how can the magic array be depicted on the alchemy item?” There is much room for manoeuvre from Angel’s words. If there are many problems, they can be solved one by one.

“Yes, if you don’t have enough magic power now. Even if you can learn it, it will take a lot of time to depict the magic array.” Promi sighed as he said: “It seems that we have to go to the Wizard Market and test our luck.”

Angel asked: “Isn’t there any way to solve the problem of insufficient magic power in alchemy? Not to mention the magic array, I have had many magic patterns that failed to be depicted because of insufficient magic power.”

Promi thought for a moment before saying: “If you simply want to solve the insufficient magic power problem, it is not as though there was no solution. The simplest and crudest way is to burn money. You can use magic crystals as an energy source.”

Magic crystals can be used as an energy source for alchemy items. Angel is very clear about this, but—

“Isn’t the magic power contained in magic crystals, Ancient Magic? I heard that as soon as Ancient Magic enters the body, it still needs to be converted, and the time required isn’t enough at all.” Angel asked in doubt.
