2: Level 9 Magic Scroll

This meant that 100,000 gold coins could allow tens of thousands of people to live a life where they were well-fed for a year! It was not a small number!

On the other hand, in the Kate Kingdom where Arthur currently resided, excluding the royal family, noble titles were divided into five Ranks from high to low: Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Baron.

100,000 gold coins were at least the annual income of an ordinary Viscount, which meant that even if a Viscount wanted to afford this scroll, he would have to save for at least two to three years!

After all, maintaining a noble lifestyle required spending quite a lot of gold coins, so it was impossible to keep all 100,000.

One could imagine just how expensive this thing was!

After marveling at the price of the scroll for a while, a curious Arthur immediately clicked on the item that looked like a red scroll.

Do not misunderstand; Arthur did not have 100,000 gold coins right now. He just wanted to click to view the product information of the red scroll.

Ninth-level Magic Scroll: Meteor Shower. This is a Spell that only a Magister can barely cast. It covers an area with a radius of 500 meters and can wipe out an ordinary army of tens of thousands with a single strike.

Seeing the product description, a look of realization could not help but flash across Arthur's face, followed by joy, because the price here was much cheaper than in reality!

One had to know that, in Arthur's understanding, the strong in their kingdom were mainly divided into six Ranks.

Knights, from low to high, were divided into: Bronze Knight, Silver Knight, Gold Knight, Earth Knight, Sky Knight, and the Legendary Knight, of which only the royal family had one.

As for mages, they were divided from low to high into: Mage, Archmage, Magister, Magister, Grand Magus, and Legendary Mage.

Among them, Mages and Archmages could only cast Elementary Spells from level one to three; Magisters could use Intermediate Spells from level four to six; only Magisters and Grand Magi could use Advanced Spells from level seven to nine.

As for the Legendary Mage, they could cast terrifying Forbidden Curse Magic capable of destroying a city with a single strike.

Thinking of this, Arthur fully understood the weight of Ninth-level Magic.

But that was not all, because Magic Scrolls were more precious than ordinary Spells, and their usage conditions were very simple.

As long as you possessed Qi or magic power, which meant that even if you were just a magic apprentice or a Bronze Knight, you could use this powerful scroll to wipe out an army of tens of thousands.

Moreover, Ninth-level Magic could be said to be the highest level of Spell that other mages could use below the Legendary Mage; the difficulty of engraving it onto a small scroll was imaginable.

This meant that the Meteor Shower Magic Scroll cost at least one million gold coins in reality, and even having money did not guarantee you could buy it.

Because the Kate Kingdom did not have a Legendary Mage, and for a Magister to engrave Ninth-level Magic onto a scroll, the success rate was too low.

Furthermore, the Materials required to make the scroll itself were very rare, so in the kingdom, one might only see such a scroll once every few years at the largest auction in the imperial capital.

A price of one million was not high!

And now, Arthur only needed 100,000 gold coins to pocket this item, and he could purchase it without limit. Thinking of this, Arthur's mood became increasingly joyful!

However, it was a pity that Arthur only had over 30,000 gold coins on him, which was still a long way from purchasing the scroll. Otherwise, he really would have liked to buy this thing to take a look, and incidentally verify the function of the Portable Shop.

Just as Arthur wanted to carefully investigate whether the Portable Shop had any other hidden functions, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the room.

Seeing this, Arthur immediately ordered the Portable Shop screen to hide in his mind.

Yes, Arthur discovered during his operation just now that the Portable Shop could also be controlled by thought, and after disappearing this time, it vanished completely from his line of sight. The previous red dot also disappeared, which made Arthur feel even more at ease.

Although Arthur knew that it was highly probable that others could not see this screen, he still had to take precautions.

At this moment, Arthur was sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard, curiously casting his gaze toward the door.

Although he had seen what his parents in this world looked like in his memories, he had not yet seen them in person, so he still felt a bit curious.

He saw six figures walk through the door one after another, all with the same look of worry and excitement on their faces.

The person in the lead had a handsome face, a sturdy build, and stood nearly two meters tall. He possessed an Aura that commanded respect without anger; this person was the owner of the Counts Fief, Count Abergh.

Beside him was a beautiful woman; even though her eyes were slightly red from worry, it could not hide her elegant and noble temperament.

She was the mistress of the Counts Fief, Arthur's mother, Charlotte.

The Kate Kingdom originally had five major provinces. Among them, three Dukes controlled three provinces, and the royal family directly controlled two provinces. Charlotte was the legitimate daughter of Duke Gryphon.

As the legitimate daughter of Duke Gryphon of the Kate Kingdom, Charlotte met and came to know Abergh, who was a commoner, while traveling.

It was unknown what Duke Gryphon saw in Abergh that he actually tacitly approved of their relationship.

One had to know that relationships between commoners and nobles were very difficult to achieve, let alone a relationship between a Duke's daughter and a commoner, which had caused a huge sensation in the Empire at the time.

But facts proved that Duke Gryphon had not misjudged the person. In the subsequent battle to recapture the Mondo Province, Abergh shone brilliantly, which led to his current title of Count.

The Mondo Province was captured by orcs fifty years ago, and now it had been recaptured by the Kate Kingdom, expanding the kingdom's territory to six major provinces.

And for Abergh to have made such great contributions in such a huge battle and obtained the title of Count, besides some support from the Duke, his own abilities and fortuitous encounters could not be underestimated.

Of course, Charlotte, as a virtuous wife, was also indispensable.

With such a Legendary experience, Abergh and Charlotte were also very much in love.

This led to the fact that Abergh had only married Charlotte, which was very rare among nobles.

This also resulted in Arthur not having many siblings; he only had one elder brother and one elder sister, making it three brothers and sisters in total.

At this moment, walking through the door and following closely behind Abergh and Charlotte were Arthur's elder brother, Art, and his elder sister, Arina.

The three siblings had all inherited their parents' blonde hair and handsome faces.

The eldest brother, Art, was twenty-four years old and had the strength of a Peak Silver Knight. He was expected to Breakthrough to a Gold Knight within one to two years, and his talent was very good.

At the same time, Art had married the legitimate daughter of the Angry Bear Count from the same province two years ago, and he could be said to be the first heir to the Counts Fief.

However, the sister-in-law had just gone back to visit her family, so she was not here at the moment.

Arthur's elder sister, Arina, was only twenty years old and had also broken through to a Silver Knight, only one year slower than Art, who had broken through to a Silver Knight at nineteen. Her talent was also considered very good.
