In the center of Black Iron Fortress, at an alchemy shop called "Hammer of Mechanics," Saine saw these individual flight pods that looked like eggshells.

Each item is priced at 500 Magic Coin and comes with a limited-time repair service.

The price of these individual flight pods is not excessively high.

Most Formal Magician can gather enough after a period of time of accumulation or after participating in a Plane War.

However, in the Wizard World, very few Mage other than mechanics use this alchemical product that is full of mechanical and Gear- powered principles.

Even mechanics almost never buy directly from stores.

They all purchased raw materials and components at lower prices and then assembled them themselves.

This not only reduces the cost to around 200 Magic Coin, but also allows for the modification of this single-soldier flight pod according to personal preferences and actual circumstances.

Looking at the row of individual flight pods in the "Hammer of Mechanics" alchemy shop in front of him, Saine stroked his chin, looking quite interested.

There were many magic apprentices in the store acting as sales assistants, and one of the more clever blond apprentices had already walked towards Saine.

Although they are apprentices, these youngsters may have a deeper understanding and insight into the field of mechanics Saine.

For example, the blond apprentice in front of Saine first gave Saine, and then very naturally began to talk and talk about the GH230 Single-Person Flying Pod, which was currently a best-selling item in the "Hammer of Mechanics" Saine shop.

Naming certain alchemical products with letters and numbers is a characteristic of mechanics in the Wizard World.

Furthermore, this tradition seems to be heavily influenced by many Technology Side Civilization within the Wizard Alliance.

As a global alliance spearheaded by the Wizard Civilization and involving countless planes and races, the Wizard Alliance is exceptionally rich in the variety of civilizations and species it contains.

Technology Side Civilization is just one aspect of it.

There are indeed many technologically advanced civilizations in the Wizard Alliance, not to mention the medium, small, and micro-sized Technological Civilization.

Among them, the strongest and most contributing Technological Civilization to the Wizard Civilization is the Norman Federation, which has reached the level of a large-scale World Civilization and whose overall strength is comparable to that of the Undead World and the Orc World. The City of Steel of the Wizard World has maintained close communication with the Norman Alliance within the alliance for many years.

Mage in the Wizard World never hesitate to learn and absorb elements and knowledge that are beneficial to them.

Looking at the row of individual flight pods in front of him and listening to the introduction from the magic apprentice beside him, Saine did not immediately make a purchase decision.

The specifications of individual soldier flight pods within the City of Steel are not standardized.

For example, the rows of individual flight pods in front of me, as introduced by the magic apprentice beside me, are the masterpieces of the level three mechanic Daogen.

Regardless of what he buys, Saine always follows a basic principle of comparing prices from multiple vendors.

Anyway, he had a long time to go in the City of Steel, so Saine wasn't in a hurry to buy anything.

Now, he uses it more to satisfy his own curiosity.

There was nothing wrong with what Saine did, but it was a bit tough on Weieri, the Intermediate Magic Apprentice was explaining things to him.

The "Hammer of Mechanics" shop is the largest shop in Black Iron Fortress, and the items displayed inside are definitely not limited to single-soldier flight pods.

After spending half a day wandering around the individual flight pod area and listening to the little guy next to him explain a lot of basic information about individual flight pods, Saine went to the adjacent merchandise area.

What appeared before him were a batch of disposable mechanical alchemy tools made by the mechanics of the City of Steel.

As a Formal Magician, Saine was subject to the strict requirements of the "Hammer of Mechanics" shop for apprentice salesmen.

The Intermediate Magic Apprentice named Weieri didn't dare to walk away from Saine just because Saine wasn't buying anything.

So, the little guy with blond hair and a slightly chubby figure could only cough his already dry throat and continue to follow Saine, patiently explaining all the items in the "Hammer of Mechanics" shop to him.

The only one who was relatively friendly to this chubby boy was Yuli, a pretty Construct Master was always by Saine's side.

Magic apprentices are generally younger, and their curiosity and impulses towards the opposite sex are stronger than those of Formal Magician who have lived for hundreds of years.

While secretly glancing at Yuli, who remained silent throughout, the chubby boy diligently performed his duties as a sales guide for Saine.

Unfortunately, the chubby boy could only watch; the only one who could truly take whatever Yuli wanted was Saine. It took Saine most of the day to browse through the "Hammer of Mechanics" shop, which shows just how big the shop was.

After finishing browsing, Saine did not turn a blind eye as Weieri's apprentice had expected.

A strange smile appeared on his lips, and a Magic Coin flicked from Saine's fingertip, flying towards Weieri.

Weieri's slightly overweight physique did not affect his agility.

The agile fat man caught the Magic Coin that Saine threw to him, his expression full of excitement.

"We Mage follow the Principle of Equivalent Exchange. This Magic Coin is your reward for explaining those alchemical mechanical creations to me today."

"Next, let's go back to the raw materials area we just passed through. I need to buy some things," Saine said.

"Yes, Master!" Weieri's enthusiasm was noticeably higher than before.

Weieri worked at the "Hammer of Mechanics" shop for two months, and the earnings he made amounted to only one Magic Coin.

His afternoon's work was almost equivalent to two months' income.

Although the Black Robe Magician in front of him was unassuming and unassuming, Weieri had already marked Saine as a "major client".

When such customers purchase items at the "Hammer of Mechanics" shop, apprentice sales assistants like Weieri also receive a commission.

In the end, Saine did not make a large purchase at the "Hammer of Mechanics" shop. He only bought some basic raw materials, and the total cost did not exceed 10 Magic Coin.

However, this expense was not small. Judging from the chubby boy's radiant face, one could imagine how excited he was.

Just before finishing his shopping, Saine turned to the chubby boy and asked, "Do you have any Constructed Magic Puppet parts from the Nesser Civilization?"

Saine's question startled the chubby boy.

He then pretended to be deep in thought, as if he had heard the words "Nesser Civilization" and "Constructed Magic Puppet" somewhere.

After a moment, the chubby boy finally remembered.

He leaned closer to Saine and whispered, "We don't have any here, but the Free Market City North Black Iron Fortress might have some. You can go there and check, Master."

Nodding, Saine walked out of the store.
