The Witcher: Start by getting the Crimson Modifier

Chapter 7 Approaching the magic detection crystal, my name is An Jia
The entrance to the Black Set.

"Newcomers, remember, there is only one rule of Heiji, that is, don't make trouble here," at the entrance of Heiji, two burly men dressed in full-body plate armor and dressed as knights, who couldn't see clearly, warned coldly: "If you don't want to be an experimental material."

Aaron felt a sense of danger from them that made his hairs stand on end.

It's like a modern person who has been sitting in an office for a long time has come to the wilderness, facing a hungry lion alone!

His talent tells him that this is not an illusion!
From this point of view, the palpitations I felt just after going out were not hallucinations.

Is it An Jia and his two little brothers?
Aaron didn't know, and secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

"Thank you for your reminder, I will strictly abide by the rules in the Black Collection!" Aaron thanked in a low voice, thought for a while, and asked, "I want to hire a guard, where should I go?"

"Hire guards?" The guard on the left glanced at Aaron. To them, Aaron was as thin as a chick, and he knew that he was malnourished since he was a child: "Go in and go straight for 100 meters. Turn left at the intersection and walk 50 meters, there is a store called 'Beast Cage', remember to report the name 'Xiu En' when you go there, there is a discount."

"Okay, thank you, Xiu En." Aaron bowed his head to express his gratitude. He looked at the other party's attire, and said, "Xiu En knight."

Xiu En nodded coldly, and there was no further communication between the two parties.

Aaron walked in, pulling down the brim of his hood.

What can be seen in the black set are wizard apprentices in a hurry and various shops.

Aaron didn't immediately go to the beast cage mentioned by Knight Xiu En, but walked around inside first, and finally found an old witchcraft shop.

The signboards were a bit blurry, and the sun dazzled his eyes, so Aaron couldn't see the name of the shop clearly.

There are not many customers in this shop.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the employees in the store have shown enough patience in the face of new customers.

The most important thing is that the clerk inside is a middle-aged woman!
Usually, females like her are more compassionate towards cubs.

Aaron walked into the shop, and the middle-aged clerk with an ordinary appearance stepped up and asked:

"What do customers want to buy?"

Aaron asked politely: "May I ask how to choose the crystal to test the magic property? I...a friend of mine needs it."

The clerk with beautiful flaxen hair heard this, and his smile was a little bit real, and he said softly:

"The guest is an apprentice who just entered school this year. He is really amazing. He has cultivated his first rune so quickly."

"You, how do you know?!" Aaron deliberately took two steps back, raised his head and asked with a vigilant expression.

From the moment he came in to the present, it's all about acting.

Aaron's stunted little stature combined with his delicate facial features played a subtle positive role at this time.

The clerk explained with a smile:
"Because the newborn smell on the guest is too strong, and only the freshmen who have just cultivated their first rune can't wait to buy magic crystals to test their attributes."

"So that's how it is. You are amazing." Aaron showed a sudden realization, turned down his hood in embarrassment, and bowed slightly to apologize: "Sorry, I thought it was those people who were following me."

Aaron purposely only said half of what he said, and the other party will make up the rest.

Nervousness and apology flashed in his beautiful jewel-like pupils, and his delicate and well-behaved appearance was easy to make people feel good about him.

This middle-aged lady didn't want to be nosy at first, but she looked at Aaron who looked like a frightened animal, and then thought of Aaron's 'talent', so she decided to make a good relationship, and said in a low voice:

"If the little guests need it, they can go to the 'beast cage'. Their reputation is very good."

"Thank you for your reminder, I will definitely find a way to repay you later."

Pretending to be a genius, then looking for women who are older than him, and using his appearance advantage to win sympathy, this is Aaron's strategy.

The lady's smile became more genuine.

Who doesn't like a genius who knows how to repay his favor?

After she told Aaron some precautions for the cage, her voice returned to normal, and she said:
"We have three kinds of magic crystals for detecting attributes in our store. The first type can only detect the most common attribute lines, and some rare attribute lines cannot be detected."

"The second type has a wide range of attribute pedigrees, and all known attributes can be detected. It is also the most purchased, but its price is also slightly higher."

"The third is to add a function on the basis of the second one, attribute self-test, after injecting magic power, you can know the value of your mental and physical strength."

"Ma'am, I." Aaron said shyly, "I don't have much money with me, can I rent it for a day?"

With the blessing of genius attributes, plus Aaron's good looks, the lady clerk didn't show that vulgar expression, she looked puzzled:

"According to the regulations, this store only sells, not rents."

"Tracey, I have returned the attribute detection crystal. Really, I am a regular customer. Can't your rent be cheaper?" The magic power detection crystal complained and walked to Triss and complained.

Triss: .
Aaron: .
The sudden backstab made the two of them fall into silence.

The middle-aged lady named Triss grabbed the crystal angrily: "Apart from us, is there any other rental service in Heiji, hurry up and pay at the counter!"

The tall and burly apprentice grinned at Aaron, turned around and left in a hurry.

Triss coughed twice and folded her arms: "I was just about to tell you that our boss is launching a rental service considering the difficulty of apprentices, but it is still in the trial operation stage."

"It is precisely because of this that not every guest is eligible to rent." Triss emphasized.

"Ms. Triss, as the best employee in this store, I think you must be qualified for approval?" Aaron looked at Triss, those clear and bright eyes seemed to be shining, and he was extremely admiring.

Triss was in a good mood, with a smile on her face: "Haha, of course, I'm an old employee, apprentice, I don't know your name yet."

"Anjia, you can call me Anjia." Aaron introduced himself.

"Anga, not a bad name."

Triss leaned over to look at Aaron, with a gentle smile: "Don't always use 'you' to call me, I feel like you are calling me old, just call my name 'Ms. Triss'.

This magic power detection crystal is a small gift from our meeting, you can just test it here, it's free.

If you have related needs in the future, whether it is raw materials or finished products, you can come to our small shop to find me, and I promise to give you the best price. "

"Thank you Ms. Triss, but I still want to rent it for a day."

Triss didn't inquire too much, and said directly:
"The rental fee for this magic power detection crystal is 6 Jintales per day. When renting, you need to sign a contract issued by Jialan Academy. If the item is damaged, you have to compensate according to the original price."

"Ms. Triss, can it be cheaper?" Aaron said shyly with his head buried in embarrassment: "I only have 3 Gold Tales on me now, but next month the royal family will know that I have cultivated the first one." After the runes they'll give me money."
