54 – Soul Apt.i.tudes and Warlock Path’s Choices
Any items related to Warlocks were unreasonably expensive, the Apprentice Warlock’s Changpao without any defensive ability nor appearing to be particularly magnificent was worth around 300 Gold Coins, ordinary people were simply unable to afford it.
Anya suddenly said: “Yang Feng, if you really desire to tread farther on the Warlock Path. I recommend you look for the book {Soul Attributes and Warlock Path’s Choices}.”
Yang Feng said with a faint smile: “Then give me a copy of {Soul Attributes and Warlock Path’s Choices} as well as all the spell books with level-0 spells.
Black Cottage also had a lot of spell books with level-0 spells. However, Black Cottage’s spell books definitely couldn’t compare to those of Warlock College Antalya. Currently Yang Feng had the airs of a wealthy person, as he basically didn’t worry about Magic Stones.
A trace of a blush welled up on Inna’s pretty face and her voice became a lot more gentle: “{Soul Attributes and Warlock Path’s Choices} is 500 Magic Stones per copy, spell books with level-0 spells are 20 Magic Stone per copy, currently there are 752 different level-0 spell books, that would be a total of 11,940 Magic Stones.
Ordinary Apprentice Warlocks were generally very stingy, they basically bought spell books one at a time. Furthermore, they specially chose those spell books that were useful to them, they simply wouldn’t buy any unnecessary spell books. Those Apprentice Warlocks that were being supported by Warlock Clans even dismissed level-0 spells.
Inna was here for so long, yet it was the first time that she encountered such a big deal. She could get a commission equivalent to one thousandth of the deal. With this deal, she and Anya could get 12 Magic Stone. Naturally it made her very excited.
Yang Feng took out a crystal card and inserted it into a box engraved with bizarre runes, he entered the value to be exchanged and 11,940 Magic Stones were deducted at once.
Inna’s voice become more and more sweet as she said: “Do You want to pick the items now or should we send You them by tonight?”
Yang Feng said: “Send them to my room by tonight!”
Aina said gently: “Yes!”
Yang Feng turned around and left the appraisal room for Apprentice Warlocks.
Inna looked at Yang Feng’s back, her eyes brimmed with jealousy and envy, she gave a faint sigh: “With an inferior level-1 soul apt.i.tude, a 100 days, to promote to an Apprentice Warlock in merely a 100 days. The Steel Lord backing him is really wealthy! His life is so good.”
Anya’s beautiful eyes also flashed with a whiff of unwillingness as she whispered: “Yes, ah! If only I had one hundredth of his resources, then promoting to a level-3 Apprentice Warlock wouldn’t be an issue.”
One of the most important reasons for restricting the rapid growth of Apprentice Warlocks was Magic Stones. To purchase a Magic Stone required 135 Gold Coins, 3 Magic Stones were priced up to 405 Gold Coins. This huge sum of money was equivalent to the acc.u.mulated wealth of various generations of such a country-side lesser aristocrat like Zhao Jiang. Inna and Anya, they came from a Warlock Clan’s background, but their clans support them every year with only 10 Magic Stones. 1 level-0 spell book required 20 Magic Stone. They working hard for a year might allow them to exchange for only 2 level-0 spell books. Moreover, once one was promoted to an Apprentice Warlock, in order to buy a variety of knowledge from the teachers, it would require large amounts of Magic Stones. It was extremely difficult to get by in the realm of Warlocks without any Magic Stones.
Inna and Anya, they came from small Warlock Clans, spell books with level-0 spells were basically their clans inheritances, they wouldn’t buy them from Warlock College Antalya. But even if they carefully planned, the cost of buying a variety of knowledge was still oppressing enough that they were unable to breath.
Every year, one tenth of the student in the outer court of Warlock College Antalya would be eliminated, the main reason was because they were short on money and were unable to study all kinds of knowledge. In the inner court, in the same fas.h.i.+on, a lot a Apprentice Warlocks were eliminated because of a lack of Magic Stones.
