Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 56: Merchant Tros (Part 2)
By this calculation, these jewel beetles are extremely valuable.
Even so, the merchant Tros expressed regretfully that if it was a complete beetle with all the gems on its back intact, the price would definitely be more than double.
The most valuable part of the jewel beetle is the gem that is not much bigger than a grain of rice, because it contains magical power.
It's just that such things are too rare. These gem beetles are few in number and have no intelligence at all. They only have instincts, and they will try to use up all their spells in the shortest time possible at the first moment of encountering the enemy.
If you kill the enemies and they survive to the next day, the gems will naturally recharge slowly. If you can't kill the enemies, then there's nothing to say.
And another thing is that the gems on the backs of jewel beetles cannot be removed while they are alive. There seems to be a very special connection between them and the gems. Once the gems leave the body, they will turn into ashes on the spot.
This makes it quite difficult for those who want to catch them.
Of course, some powerful soldiers or heroes have many ways to do it. The simplest way is to kill the Gem Beetles before they can react. But when their strength reaches that level, they don't even care about these little things.
This is one of the most important reasons why they are worth the current price, as the strong look down on them and the weak appreciate them but cannot do them.
The reason why it is said to be one of the reasons is because the businessman Tros soon said another reason with great regret.
"It's a pity that gem beetles usually only live in the treasury of dragons because that's where there are enough gold coins and gems. Otherwise, if I could get their eggs, I would definitely be willing to spend more money."
The corners of Levi's mouth suddenly curled up. The disclosure of information about the space bag was optional. He didn't show it all to the other party just now, so the other party didn't know how many jewel beetle eggs were inside.
But now it sounds like the other party is sighing, but in fact, isn't it a test? The other party is obviously suspicious, because the bodies of the jewel beetles are still very fresh!
Given the harmonious atmosphere between the two parties, he simply didn't beat around the bush and nodded immediately, "Yes, I do have three eggs left. I plan to keep one for myself to see if I can use it as a magical pet. If the price is right, I can sell the other two."
He was not trying to fool the other party with these words. Although the little frog could provide some life bonus, it seemed that its potential was too low and it was too difficult to upgrade it. If possible, he would like to change to a magical pet.
Of course, it definitely wouldn't be a gem beetle. He wanted to find some magical pets that were powerful enough and had great potential.
The merchant Tros laughed out loud. "Well, sir, you are really straightforward. In that case, I won't bother you. Last time in prison, you hired an Amazon. I happen to have a few that are suitable for Amazons. I wonder if you like them?"
As he spoke, he reached out and took out several pieces of equipment, including a spear, a battle axe, and a bundle of javelins.
My goodness! Levi knew it at a glance. Even if this happened today, this guy would find him sooner or later. He even prepared the equipment, and there were 3 green equipments!
However, after taking a few quick glances, Levi discovered that the attributes of these green equipment were not particularly outstanding. Apart from the slightly higher attack power than the white equipment, they also had additional attributes such as attack speed, attack hit rate or critical strike rate.
It’s not that these attributes are unimportant, it’s mainly because they add too little, almost none of them exceeds 5%.
In short, they are all low-quality stuff that can be used temporarily but will definitely be eliminated within three to five days.
If Donna still had the previous mission of spear and killing, the things the other party took out could really come in handy, but now, Levi was not satisfied.
So he was a little disappointed and asked, "Is this the only thing of this level?"
The merchant Tros was stunned for a moment. He knew that he might have made some mistakes. He immediately asked tentatively: "Sir, these are the weapons that Amazons often use..."
Levi interrupted the other person: "But it's not strong enough. If I buy such a weapon to meet her, I'm afraid I will be laughed at."
The businessman Tross was immediately embarrassed because he could see that the other party was not lying but really believed it.
So he quickly covered it up and said, "Sir, you misunderstood. I'm not buying it. I want to give it to you as a gift. Just take the one you like."
"Oh? Is that so? Then I'd be very sorry to refuse."
"But I also want to replace her with a stronger bow, and then some magic supplies."
"Also, do you have a space backpack or something similar? "
"Well, there are no better bows and arrows for now. I'll keep an eye out for them. But I do have all the mage supplies and space rings, as well as a nice quiver."
This time, businessman Tros didn't dare to be perfunctory, because he had seen the other party's impatience and even dissatisfaction. If the other party looked down on his ability because of this, future cooperation would probably not be too smooth, so he directly took out his best collection.
First up is a blue and white ring.
Small Space Ring (Rare Item - Blue - Rare): Thirty grids.
(A space ring with storage capabilities forged by a senior alchemist)
According to the businessman Tros, space-type equipment can be roughly divided into several types, such as space rings, space bracelets, space bags and space backpacks. Items of the same type cannot be worn repeatedly, but items of different types can be effective at the same time. If he is rich enough, he can pick one of each, so that the available space will be quite large.
However, Levi does not have such a strong need for the time being. The initial space backpack with ten grids is almost enough at this stage. After all, many similar items, such as arrows and supplies, can be stored in stacks.
Next was a magic book about one foot long, covered with a book cover. It looked very sturdy and beautiful.
Enchanted Spellbook (Wonderful Item – Blue – Rare):
Effect 1: The holder's upper limit of magic value +10;

2. Partial immunity: the target's movement speed will be reduced by 15%-35% for 5 seconds;
