Mage Veigar

Chapter 10 Magic Weapons

Of course.

Even if it is not needed, it must be needed.

Although Vega didn't know why Dani treated him as a younger brother, he certainly would not refuse the kindness of a superior. Whether in the workplace or in the military, connections are always a crucial link.

Moreover, Vega was extremely envious of Dani's civilian position in the rear. If one day he could use Dani's connections to be transferred from the front line to the safe rear, then not only would he be able to call her sister, he would even be willing to call her aunt.

Morality?

Such noble things only make life more difficult.

Vega even rummaged through trash cans to survive, so what moral integrity did he have? He even began to be grateful for this deceptive cute face.

Dani gets off work at 12:00 noon.

As soon as she saw Vega waiting outside the door, Dani showed her motherly love and smiled warmly: "Brother Vega, let's go. I'll give you the two-hour lunch break."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Dani..."

"Hmm~?"

"Thank you, Sister Dani."

"good."

"..."

The two of them came to the second floor of the union, and what caught their eyes were shops of different styles. Most of the people coming in and out were professionals, 7% of whom were wearing military uniforms, and their ranks were all above lieutenant, with several of them being colonels.

“Professionals are an important strategic resource.”

Dani introduced as she walked: "No matter which country they are from, most professionals are absorbed into the empire's army. In our Nolan Empire, only about 3% of professionals are in the hands of major organizations and some government departments. Of course, some professionals cannot stand the constraints and set up some mercenary groups to make a living by hunting monsters."

Through Dani's introduction, Vega had a clearer understanding of the background of this world.

The overall social civilization is moving towards the eighteenth century on Earth, but people still use cold weapons to fight. The army of each country is the most powerful force because they have the largest number of professionals, and it is definitely a wise choice to board the army's chariot.

"This is it."

Dani pointed to a shop with the Bauhinia brand and said, "The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is the best shop here. The items they sell are known for their quality, but the prices are also relatively high."

Vega looked in the direction of the finger and saw that the store was crowded with people.

The salesperson saw the two people coming up and said, "Welcome. May I ask if you two would like to buy weapons or combat skills? To buy weapons, please go to the left. To buy combat skills, please go to the right. For magician items, please go to the VIP room. Someone will serve you."

“Magician?”

Vega was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong.

He knew that professionals relied on the magic power in their bodies to fight, and if their magic power did not run out when facing ordinary soldiers, they were almost immortal and terrifying. But what was a magician?
Just as he was about to ask, he was pulled away by Dani.

She excitedly pointed at an exquisite and gorgeous cross sword on the shelf on the left and said, "Brother Vega, what do you think of this magic weapon? Not only can it increase the attack power by 20%, it also has a bleeding effect, and the appearance is also top-notch."

Vega always felt that the second half of the sentence was the key point.

However, this kind of lightweight and moderately long cross sword is quite suitable as his current weapon. Vega nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at the price. If the price is right, he is prepared to buy it directly.

Ten hundred thousand...

9998 gold coins?

Veigar rubbed his eyes vigorously, and was shocked after confirming that it was not 99 gold coins, nor 999 gold coins, but 9998 gold coins. Was this a robbery? How many steamed buns could a sword exchange for?
Dani looked at Veigar's stunned expression and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, brother Veigar? Don't you like this sword? Or do you like other types of weapons? Why don't we take a look at daggers? With your attributes, longswords and daggers are both good choices."

Vega said awkwardly: “Yes, yes, let’s go check out other weapons.”

After going around in circles, Vega finally despaired. He found that the cheapest weapon here cost hundreds of gold coins, but he only had 3 gold coins and 5 silver coins on him, plus the 3 gold coins professional subsidy he had just received.

Dani, who was getting more and more excited as she walked around, saw that Vega had found nothing and asked, "Don't you like any of the weapons here?"

"It's not that I don't like it."

Vega paused and asked the question in his mind: "The weapons in Kaleni City are priced at 1 gold coin at most, why are the weapons here so expensive?"

Dani said as a matter of course: "How can magic weapons be compared with ordinary weapons? The weapon shops in Kaleini City only sell ordinary weapons, and the weapons here are all magic weapons."

"Is there any difference between magic weapons and ordinary weapons?"

"Of course there is a difference."

Dani patiently explained: "Ordinary weapons cannot be infused with magic power, but magic weapons can be infused with magic power to fight. If two professionals fight each other, and one of them is holding an ordinary weapon, he won't be able to break the other's defense."

Vega suddenly realized.

He had never fought with professionals before, so he had not noticed this problem. Now that he thought about it carefully, when he fought with ordinary people, the ordinary weapons of the opponents could not break his defense at all. If he fought with professionals, holding a weapon that could not be infused with magic power would probably be less effective than using bare hands. "Brother Vega, you are not..."

Dani also understood at the same time. She said embarrassedly, "I'm very sorry. I forgot that you are not a company-level officer yet. Officers above the company level have a salary of more than 100 gold coins. I naturally assumed that you have the purchasing power."

"It's ok."

"I was just too excited."

Dani was so engrossed in her shopping that she said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Vega, can you tell me how many gold coins you have on you? I can help you with some advice. To express my apology, I will definitely not let you go home empty-handed today."

Veigar said generously: "3 gold coins and 5 silver coins."

"Varied……"

Dani showed an embarrassment on her face. She frowned for a few minutes and then said, "It's not that there are magic weapons worth 3 gold coins, but they have some minor flaws."

Vega's eyes lit up.

It would have been fine if he didn't know the power of magic weapons at first, but now that he knew, Vega naturally wanted to have a magic weapon of his own.

Dani took Vega to a deserted corner of the store: “This is it.”

"here?"

Vega looked at the messy pile of scrap metal and felt a little puzzled.

Dani picked up a dagger and said, "These are all magic weapons, and they cost three gold coins each."

"how is this possible?"

Vega's eyes widened. Based on what he had just learned, magic weapons were high-end luxury items, and the price was no less than 500 gold coins. But here they only cost 3 gold coins?
"It's just a failure."

Dani saw Vega's puzzled expression and said, "These failed items can also be infused with magic power, and some of them even have some buff effects. But because they are failed items, the number of infusions is also limited. For example, this dagger in my hand can only be infused with magic power five times before it becomes an ordinary weapon."

"I see."

Vega understood why these weapons were so cheap, but even so, he still planned to buy one for self-defense first, and maybe trade it for a real magic weapon when he had more money in the future.

A selection.

Vega finally picked up a lightweight cross sword and said, "Sister Dani, I decided to buy it."

"Do you still like the cross sword?"

Dani covered her mouth and smiled. "Is it your vanity that's playing tricks on you? You're still a child after all. I think a dagger is more suitable for your body. Although this long sword is of moderate length, it's not the most suitable."

In the phrase.

As Dani said, Vega certainly knew that a child's body was best suited to a dagger, but he did buy it based on the rule that only professionals and company-level officers could use the cross sword.

Vega just wants to live an ordinary life. He doesn't want to fight with other professionals and even refuses to contact them.

He was just a small non-commissioned officer and his opponent was just an ordinary soldier.

If one does not want to get into any trouble, having a cross sword can serve as a deterrent to ordinary people or non-professionals, so that some children of the powerful will not come to cause trouble for him for no reason.

In the end, Veigar bought the sword.

Although this cross sword does not have any beneficial effects, it can be infused with magic 15 times, which is more than twice the number of infusions of other failed items. If it is used against ordinary people, it can also be used as an ordinary weapon, so it is still quite good as a transitional equipment.

Satisfied, ready to leave.

As for the martial arts next door, Vega no longer considered it, because according to Dani, the price of martial arts is often several times that of weapons, and with his current financial resources, he might not even have enough to buy a fraction of it.

"Brother Vega, this is a meeting gift from my sister."

"This is……"

When Vega was about to leave, Dani handed him a dagger. "As expected, I still think this dagger suits you best. This dagger can be infused with magic power seven times, and its enhanced effect is paralysis. With it, you will have an extra layer of protection on the front line."

"Sister Dani, this is too precious."

"Sister's monthly salary is fifty gold coins."

Dani pinched Vega's smooth face and said, "Be careful on the front line. Come visit me more often when you have time."

“I understand.” Vega nodded and left the guild.

Dani watched Vega leave.

When Vega's figure completely disappeared, Dani looked at him with a puzzled look and said, "Is this the professional my father wants to train? Apart from being cute and having a lot of room for growth, he doesn't seem to have the potential to become a magician in any way."
