Chapter 49 Two spells, why don't you buy anything?
Like bird wings, the pumpkin carriage is also a spell for flight.
Potato mines are explosive devices embedded in a flat surface. When triggered, they explode within a certain range.
Both of these courses fall under the category of Battle Wizards, and both cost 15 magic stones. They are neither unpopular nor particularly popular.
Including the Knight Puppet spell, Leo's extra monthly spell learning cost is 30 magic stones.
Having chosen his spell course, Leo temporarily put away the cards and then pondered the situation regarding potion wizards:
"There are as many as 36 recipes for beginner potions in basic potion science. If I can improve the quality of the beginner potion recipe book to excellent or even perfect quality, then I will definitely have no problem with the potion wizard's on-site assessment."
"However, tools are naturally indispensable for making potions."
Previously, Leo didn't have any magic stones and could only borrow potion tools from the teaching room.
However, the teaching room cannot be open to Leo 24/7; it is only open during class time. Therefore, it is very troublesome for Leo to make potions even if he wants to.
Now that Leo has magic stones, he can buy his own potion-making tools and freely allocate his time in his room to brew potions.
Leo first made a list of things to buy, then took the magic stone and the low-quality deadwood potion he had previously made, and headed to the Woodpecker's Hut.
Outside the woodpecker's hut, Leo encountered a familiar figure.
"Hughes".
"Leo".
Hughes smiled and said warmly, "Are you also here to prepare materials for your subject? I'm in the Potions subject, and I'm here to buy some Potions herbs."
Leo nodded and said, "I'm also a Potions major."
Hughes said, "Let's go in together."
Leo said, "Okay."
The two entered the woodpecker's hut together. The elf in charge of reception greeted them with a professional smile and said, "Welcome, two wizards."
Then, the elf's gaze settled on Leo, her eyes lighting up, and she said, "Wizard Leo, congratulations on becoming a true wizard."
Leo asked in surprise, "You actually noticed that?"
The elf smiled and said, "We often deal with wizards, and over time we've developed some unique insights."
Leo nodded slightly, then silently observed the elf.
After becoming a wizard, he looked at the elves again and noticed the difference.
He had already sensed that this elf possessed spiritual energy.
However, now that he has become a wizard, Leo has discovered a more subtle detail: the spirit energy of this elf is very different from that of a wizard.
In terms of type, it is closer to a knight.
Leo guessed that elves might not be wizards, but rather some kind of profession related to spiritual energy.
Leo took out the withered wood potion he was preparing to sell and asked, "Miss at the counter, I've made a bottle of withered wood potion. I wonder if I can sell it here?"
Hughes, who was standing nearby, also said, "I also have a potion I'd like to sell to you."
The elf smiled and asked, "May I see the potions the two wizards have prepared?"
"OK."
Leo took out the withered wood potion he had concocted.
After examining it carefully, the elf shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Wizard Leo, this is a low-quality potion. Our Woodpecker Hut's rule is that we only sell potions of ordinary quality or higher."
"All right."
"If you produce potions of ordinary quality or higher in the future, you are welcome to sell them to us. We will offer a very reasonable purchase price."
After the elf finished speaking, he looked at Hughes.
Hughes looked embarrassed and said, "I suddenly remembered, I forgot to bring the potion. We'll talk about it next time, next time."
In fact, Hughes also brought a bottle of his own concocted beginner potion, a basic recovery potion, but its quality was also inferior.
Seeing that Hughes showed no intention of taking it out, the elf looked at Leo again and said:
"Lord Leo the Wizard, I have a proposal for this bottle of Deadwood Potion. If you don't intend to use it yourself, you could consider selling it to Glory Hut. Glory Hut is a potion shop that caters to knights. They're willing to accept anything that can help a knight, even if it's of inferior quality."
Leo's eyes lit up, and he said, "Could you tell me the exact location of Glory Hut?"
The elf produced a map and said, "Lord Wizard Leo, I have a map here that records the locations of various shops and important places in the Tower of Dawn. With just one magic stone, you can know the Tower of Dawn like the back of your hand."
Leo took out a magic stone and bought the map.
The elf smiled and accepted the magic stone, then added, "However, the selling price of the potions might not satisfy you. Even if you accept a low-quality potion, it will generally cost less than half the price of the materials."
Leo frowned; he hadn't expected that inferior quality potions would be so unpopular.
Leo asked, "What about the common and superior quality potions?"
The elf said, "According to our shop's purchase prices, ordinary quality potions are purchased at 100% to 110% of the material cost, while high-quality potions are purchased at around 150% of the material cost. Other shops generally have the same price range."
The purchase price of this medicine was much lower than Leo had expected.
Inferior quality medicines will not recoup their costs.
For potions of average quality, you can only say that you break even; a 10% profit margin is roughly enough to cover the time and cost.
High-quality medicines can be profitable.
However, it is not easy to refine high-quality potions.
Leo mentally processed the price, then said, "Miss, I'd like to purchase a set of potion-making tools. Also, could you please prepare these herbs... three of each type?"
Leo produced a list.
Leo came here not only to buy tools for brewing potions, but also to purchase various herbs needed for beginner-level potions.
"Master Leo, there are a total of ninety magic stones."
Herbs are still quite expensive.
Aside from the tools which cost 50 magic stones, the materials for these beginner-level potions alone cost 40 magic stones.
Leo was carrying large bags of materials and felt very uncomfortable moving around.
The elf beside him said, "Lord Leo Wizard, you're not in a very convenient position right now. I have a storage pouch here with a small portable space inside. You can buy this magical artifact for just one hundred magic stones."
Leo: "..."
He felt that the magic stones on his body wouldn't last long at this rate of consumption.
However, the space storage pack recommended by the elf is indeed very helpful for Leo right now.
Leo eventually bought the space-saving bag.
Although it is a small space, the interior space is about the size of a three-story house.
Leo packed his things, picked up the map, and carried his storage bag, preparing to leave Woodpecker's Hut.
Suddenly, Leo remembered something and said, "Hughes, aren't you going to buy anything?"
