A dazzling array of items.
Su Xi was almost blinded by the golden light emanating from the epic-level items in the warehouse.
"Hiss, as expected of the Elemental Association, they really have a lot of resources."
In the Meta World's NPC setting, it's quite expensive for humans to learn magic, since they don't have any bloodline bonuses. So, most humans who eventually become mages are wealthy nobles. Other ordinary NPCs, unless they have exceptional magical talent, usually become ordinary adventurers or pursue other professions.
Moreover, a high-level mage needs to consume a legendary-level crystal to cast a legendary-level spell, a cost that most families cannot afford.
From this perspective, it's quite normal for the Elemental Association to be wealthy.
"It's all about equipment and skills..."
Su Xi scanned the items; 60% were skills, 30% were equipment, and the remaining 10% consisted of items such as [Equipment Awakening Gold Stone], [Portable Space Key], and [Mobile Library].
Mobile Library?
What is this thing? Is it like carrying a library around with you?
Su Xi curiously clicked on the detailed information about this prop.
Mobile Library
Warehouse item quality display: Epic
Item effect: Consumes one Legendary Crystal to randomly refresh one magic skill in the (Normal to Epic) range, with a maximum of fifteen skills stored.
Oliver, vice president of the Elemental Association, commented: Gamblers will never have a good end.
Number of times it was recycled: 15 (It went through fifteen different owners, but was quickly returned each time.)
"Hmm, this thing is interesting." Su Xi narrowed her eyes.
This item can greatly enrich her attack skill library, and she can obtain a magic skill that can be released at any time by consuming only one legendary crystal, without consuming her own magic power. Excellent.
Moreover, the items in this warehouse contain powerful epic-level skills, but the energy consumption is several times that of legendary magic. She has now split into two avatars, and her mental energy attribute is not that abundant.
She doesn't need the equipment.
As for the [Equipment Awakening Gold Stone], I really want it, since my current equipment is all legendary level. With this stone, I can upgrade all my equipment to epic level.
But with so many epic items, choosing only one stone would be a huge waste.
There's no rush to upgrade the equipment quality.
So, all things considered, she didn't have many good options.
Although this prop is largely based on luck, she feels that she has been lucky in her life.
It shouldn't just refresh normal magic.
It would be great if one or two legendary spells appeared out of ten skills.
Then, if she uses up the non-legendary spells and only stores the legendary spells, wouldn't she then have fifteen legendary spells that she can cast at any time?!
Imagine the sheer spectacle if fifteen legendary spells were unleashed together!
Su Xi thought about it more and more and felt that this prop was really awesome, but she just didn't know why the people from the Elemental Association didn't use it themselves.
The warehouse manager, noticing Su Xi's eyes fixed on the prop, coughed twice and said, "Um, Your Highness, have you made your choice?"
Hearing the administrator's urging, Su Xi said without hesitation, "Let's choose this epic item."
"OK."
The warehouse manager handed out a black book with strange golden Magic Circle engraved on it, all with a smile on his face.
Su Xi took one look and immediately began to touch it, unable to put it down.
The book has a smooth, thick texture and a weighty feel to it.
"Such a powerful prop, and it looks so exquisite, why don't you guys use it yourselves?"
"Well, the randomness of this item is too great. Take our recent experience as an example, our vice president used it and spent three million Gold Coin, only to get two legendary spells. So this item is very much dependent on luck," the warehouse administrator said with a shake of his head and a smile.
"Three million Gold Coin?" Su Xi raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "How many times did you swipe?"
"The Legendary Ore was priced at 30 Gold Coin each at the time, so I farmed it a total of 100,000 times."
Holy crap!
The probability of getting a legendary skill is only 0.002%, and I haven't even gotten an epic skill yet. What kind of unlucky person am I?
"Really? Is it because your vice president has just had really bad luck?"
The administrator of the gambling site shrugged. "I don't know about that. Anyway, after the vice president tried it, he swore he would never be a gambler again."
Su Xi: "..."
Su Xi didn't believe it. Luckily, she still had more than a hundred legendary crystals on her. She took out ten of them and threw them into the [Mobile Library].
Swish swish——
The pages of the book flew by, and soon, a total of ten skills appeared in the item.
Fireball (Common), Frost Ray (Excellent), Basic Heal (Common), Shadow Control (Rare), Defense Technique (Common), Lightning Strike (Rare), Elemental Clone (Rare), Freeze Bomb (Common), Defense Barrier (Rare), Fireball (Legendary).
"Hey, what a great start! There's a legendary magic spell."
The warehouse manager also curiously peeked over to look at the magic book pages. Skipping over all the spells below the legendary level, he looked at the last spell that appeared, a hint of curiosity flashing across his face, and said, "Fireball? Isn't that an excellent-level magic skill? How can it be legendary?"
"Hehe, I'd also like to know what this legendary fireball spell is like. Do you have a practice area here?"
The warehouse manager said, "Yes, Your Highness, please follow me."
The warehouse manager led Su Xi through a teleportation portal, which took them to the border of the Saint Ace Empire.
The border of the Saint Ace Empire was originally the Shadow Empire, but the entire Shadow Empire was destroyed a year ago. Now there are only a few people who have come here from other regions to take advantage of the situation, so no one will hold you accountable even if you release any magic into the territory of the Shadow Empire.
"This is really a great venue..."
Su Xi was speechless.
"Hehe, might as well use it. If we cast legendary magic in our own training ground, we'll have to fix it afterwards, but we don't need to here."
Even without the NPC saying it, she could see it too. The other side of the border was full of craters left behind by magical explosions, some of which were covered with broken plants, and there was also some pollution from the remaining magic, making the place a mess.
Without further ado, Su Xi opened the library and unleashed a legendary-level fireball spell.
In an instant, it was as if a sun had risen over the entire border, the light so dazzling that the two of them couldn't open their eyes.
"Lying down..."
The last word, "cause," was swallowed up by the loud explosion before it could even be uttered.
Rumble rumble rumble—
The massive blast wave nearly threw the two of them into the air.
After the shockwave dissipated, the mushroom cloud from the explosion lingered in the sky for a long time.
A huge pit appeared in front of them, and water kept gushing out from the ground. Soon, a lake appeared.
"Damn it, isn't that a nuclear bomb?!"
