Strange Worlds-Chapter 244: Magic Association (3)

Seeing Aya’s appearance, Silas could guess that the White Family Patriarch should not be as tough and strict as the Black Family. Even if these two families were quite similar at some points, they have their own ways in dealing things.

Both are equally rigid in some things but also not really at some other things.

"Then, are you allowed to take a mission from here?" Silas asked.

"There’s no restriction, but I don’t think that I can take any mission from here," Aya replied lightly.

The magic association would not issue any easy mission. They should have their own purpose when they came here and Aya didn’t think that the content of the mission would be the same as the missions in the mission hall.

"By the way, I just remembered something." Silas looked at this magic association and seemed to remember something.

When he went to Central Magic City, he also inquired about the price for a purification potion and the high price nearly scared his soul away. To be honest, when Silas saw those prices, he felt that the profession of alchemist was simply a profiteer.

So expensive!

But thinking that the effect of the potion was something that could not be achieved through normal means... Silas knew that it was also quite fair.

The effect of the potions meant that they didn’t have to waste mana at important moments and could directly recover their strength to a certain degree. Besides, the purification contained magic that could only be performed by a light element magic warrior.

There were not many light element magic who could make potions.

Of course, Silas had no intention to buy those expensive potions and only checked the price.

What made him wonder was how did Aya manage to have enough money to buy the purification potion. Based on the price of these potions, even if the White Family was generous and gave Aya a lot of pocket money, she wouldn’t be able to buy any of them.

"Yes?" Aya had a bad feeling when she saw Silas’s thoughtful expression.

"I wonder how you manage to get the purification potions. The price is very expensive," Silas said in a low voice, barely a whisper.

Aya: "..."

Ah, she forgot about this!

When she wanted to heal Silas, the only thought that crossed her mind was that she couldn’t expose her mana rank to Silas and the best way to do this was through using the purification potion. As a light element magic warrior whose rank had reached 6 at that time, it was nothing much for her to make a purification potion.

The problem is, Aya forgot that her own financial resources were not much.

Those who were familiar with her should know that she had spent most of her money to buy various herbs in the past few years. Aya didn’t exactly hide it because there was nothing that could be hidden.

And if Silas wanted to investigate the herbs needed to make the purification potions...

Well, some of them were indeed included in her shopping list.

But because her main focus was not the purification potion, Aya didn’t buy many portions and only a little bit. The potions that she wanted to make didn’t really need those materials and it was useless to keep them if she didn’t need them.

Her limited funds made her have to control her spending.

While Aya did think that Silas would leave Wansu City and head to Central Magic City, she never thought that it would happen so quickly.

It seemed that in front of her teacher, she unconsciously revealed her traces, which made Silas a bit suspicious of her.

"...I use some items to trade?" Aya answered weakly.

Silas looked at Aya and arched his eyebrows.

He felt that this little student of his was a bit mysterious at times. But she had never harmed him and instead helped him from time to time.

So Silas put down the thoughts in his mind and pointed to the building. "Shall we go inside to check."

"Yes!"

The two of them walked inside and it turned out that it was not empty. There were a few people who were looking at the mission posted on the board, discussing about it.

Since it was crowded, Silas and Aya were not in a hurry and looked at the other board.

"Trading board."

It contained the list of things that they could buy or trade from the magic association.

Looking at the list of items here, Aya blinked her eyes. The Central Magic City is as generous as ever but these things were useless for her. Moreover, Aya knew that the cost of these potions were definitely far lesser from the price they picked to sell it.

At the very least, Aya could make these potions at 10% of the cost written here.

What a profiteer.

Even though Aya silently condemned them in her heart, she herself knew that if she had to sell her potions, she would definitely mark it at a high price. After all, she didn’t want to work hard for nothing.

The cost to become an alchemist was by no means small.

In her previous life, Aya had the backing of the entire White Family and suffered a lot before she could reach this point. And even then, her path was by no means smooth and the money needed to cultivate her to reach that point was by no means small.

Aya sighed deeply when she thought about this and decided not to think too much.

She browsed the items there before her eyes landed on the magic spells and magic books that were written there. Upon seeing the magic book about teleportation arrays, her eyes lit up.

Her progress in the teleportation array has stagnated in the past few months and she clearly didn’t have the ability to break through any further. If she could buy this magic book and study it, she was sure that her system would help her to perfect it, allowing her to make a better teleportation array.
