37: Chapter 37 Strange Objects and Magical Equipment

After leaving the cultivation room of the plantation, Ross walked quickly toward the Wizard Commercial Street near the academy.

On both sides of this district were rows of shops.

There were potion shops, magical plant shops, alchemy item shops, magical animal shops, and robe and equipment shops.

As well as some stores that relied on carving disposable mana runes; these shops selling magic scrolls were decorated like libraries, and some even sold certain Spell Models.

The characteristics of the shops here were very distinct from those of the academy; not only were the categories and quantities numerous, but it was also the largest Wizard Bazaar nearby.

The targets they served were not only the numerous wizards of the Elius Wizard Academy, but they also undertook the role of facilitating exchanges for outside wizards.

Therefore, not only would the wizards of the Elius Wizard Academy participate, but many other small-scale wizard organizations would as well.

Wizards from niche factions that were not registered and recognized by the Wizard Civilization Council would come to this Wizard Commercial Street through various channels.

Looking at the vibrant market in the streets and alleys, Ross noticed that this street even had a section of road

specifically used for Wizard Apprentices, where a large number of Wizard Apprentices setting up stalls could be seen.

The layout of the entire market was very clear, divided into two parts by an invisible line.

One part consisted of regular shops on both sides of the market street, while the other part consisted of "ragtag forces" who temporarily set up stalls to sell the outputs of their own magic resources.

Wizards with time and a discerning eye could unearth good things from these temporary vendors.

But under most circumstances, there were mostly very ordinary magic resources, and some might even misjudge and buy items that did not match their prices.

On the periphery of the street, one could also see round altar-like grounds that emitted some special magic fluctuations.

As beams of light fell rapidly, some figures disappeared into the round altars, and some unfamiliar new figures would also appear on the Wizard Commercial Street.

Between illusion and reality, the figures of wizards came and went in changes.

Ross knew that those were several large teleportation arrays set up within this bazaar.

These teleportation arrays were ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays that could only be designed by Official Wizards in the Alchemy Faction who understood spatial magic after spending a great deal of time.

In the Wizard World, vast lands spanned across different wizard organizations.

This was also a tacit understanding among wizard organizations; due to the powerful strength of Official Wizards and the blessing of various items,

between Official Wizard organizations, in order to leave room for safety and development, they maintained an attitude of carving out territory and ruling as kings.

But wizards also needed communication; these bazaars established near "Official Wizard organizations" became buffer zones and bridges between different wizard organizations.

Only, due to the influence of activating these teleportation arrays as well as the wizards' own power levels and so on, activating them once would cost a large number of magic stones.

This was also a manifestation of wizard power; teleportation arrays spanning ultra-distant territories were the crystalization of magic technology from the Alchemy Faction.

For some small-scale wizard organizations nearby, there was often only one Official Wizard.

The very existence of these organizations was created by this "Official Wizard" in order to better improve their own wizard level.

Although they would also cultivate some Wizard Apprentices, neither their scale nor their heritage could be compared to Official Wizard organizations.

However, the Wizard World was too vast, and Official Wizards had many choices.

In addition to the form of independently forming a "small-scale organization", some also formed organizations hugging together for warmth with family bloodlines as the bond.

Due to their own limitations, members of these wizard organizations often lacked many resources possessed by Official Wizard organizations.

Therefore, they would regularly come to Wizard Bazaars similar to the one near the Elius Wizard Academy.

To sell some collected magic resources and purchase some resources they needed, and so on.

Ross stopped at a magic equipment shop on the street and looked around at this shop.

He saw that magic armor and some ironware were displayed at the entrance of the shop, and a line of words was outlined using steel forks and lava magic: "Curiosities Ding-Dong Magic Equipment Shop".

Ross saw that the decoration of this shop matched the place he wanted to go.

Ross walked into this equipment shop, which was quite large in scale throughout the entire commercial bazaar street.

The furnishings inside the shop were simple, but the goods were not uncommon.

Every wall was hung with equipment, and enchanted battle axes, rune shields, and gemstone-inlaid armor were staggered on the walls.

Some glass cabinets displayed faintly glowing magic rings.

Even some scrolls and potions occupied quite a bit of space.

Piece by piece, magic equipment hung inside wardrobes and crystal cabinets.

"Welcome to the Magic Equipment Shop. We have outer armor, inner soft armor, weapons, and bracers. Whether the guest is directly purchasing finished products or has special customization requirements, this shop can meet Your Excellency's needs. I am the son of the owner of this shop, named Parker Grant."

The shopkeeper of this store was a strong dwarf, a burly dwarf whose height was only half of Ross's, but whose shoulder width was as wide as Ross's.

He wore a beard, seemingly to maintain his majesty, and the muscles on his arms were solid and powerful.

Some calluses and scars left by forging could also be seen on his hands.

However, his figure and movements were agile, and as soon as Ross arrived at the door, he sensed his presence.

Dwarven forging techniques were also quite exquisite in the eyes of wizards; although limited by intelligence, these guys found it difficult to embark on the path of wizards.

But relying on the dwarven bloodline, after stepping into adulthood, their magic power could also reach the level of a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice.

For some powerful individuals of the race with immense potential, the strength of their magic power could even reach the level of a Level 1 Wizard.

These existences were called "Legends" in their own words.

This shop was obviously one with a "Legendary" dwarf as its background, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the Wizard Bazaar.

"I need a piece of protective equipment, preferably a durable item that can be used for a long time. The price is best around 200 magic stones. It should be suitable for field operations and protect the safety of the body in combat."

Ross stated his requirements.

"It must have a durable effect while also preserving convenience during combat; let me think about it."

The dwarf Parker thought for a moment.

"For general armor, the ones with the strongest protection are iron armors smelted from various metals, but this type of equipment is more suitable for legion clients like marching knights. Wizard lords like you mainly need to consider being lightweight and well-fitting. It would be much better to consider inner armor."

"You can choose to purchase a leather armor made from the skin of a standard-quality magic creature. It not only meets your needs, Lord Wizard, but the price is also less than half of outer iron armor. A price of 200 magic stones can buy the highest quality enchanted wild rhino leather armor."
