Chapter 107 Ye Ning
The two walked together into the inner area of ​​the shop.

Sure enough, the wands here are much better than those outside; each one is a work of art.

Moreover, these wands don't even have price tags on the bottom, clearly indicating they are luxury items that "those in the know understand."

Zellier was secretly alarmed, thinking that he might accidentally pick a wand that cost several hundred gold coins and then Beverly couldn't afford it, which would be quite an awkward situation.

"Try it quickly," Bev urged.

Zellier picked one up and chose a wand that was entirely fiery red.

The staff was engraved with intricate rune circuits, and as soon as he grasped it, a surging, scorching heat emanated from it, like volcanic rock that had just solidified.

"This wand is called [Heart of Flame]. Its base is made of molten wood from deep within a volcano, and its core is a crystal fused with the magic cores of three fire lizards."

The old lady introduced it in a gentle voice.

"The Heart of Flame greatly amplifies fire elemental magic, and when casting fire magic, there is a certain chance to trigger the special effect of [Flame Splash], which is very useful when dealing with groups of enemies."

“Pure elemental type…” Zellier nodded.

It also has a fire splash effect, so the scene will definitely be spectacular when I cast Flame Breath in the future.

However, Zeril did not make a decision immediately, but continued to choose, and changed to another wand with a more complex rune circuit.

"This wand was made specifically for arcane mages. Its shaft has been tempered by multiple magical processes, resulting in excellent fluidity. The core is a single piece of pure, condensed crystal."

The old lady continued, "It can greatly enhance the stability and destructive power of arcane magic, making it very suitable for combat-oriented mages."

Arcane wands can amplify arcane missiles.

Next, Zellier tried several more, all of which were very powerful and each had its own strengths.

But Zellier always felt that something was missing.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a uniquely shaped magic wand.

It was a completely black magic wand, the shaft of which looked as if it were carved from some kind of glass, the material crystal clear.

Moreover, the wand is not perfectly cylindrical; it has facets made of natural crystals, making it appear very hard.

Apart from that, the wand has no other carvings or decorations.

Several extremely fine silver lines spread across the staff like lightning, eventually converging at the tip—where there was no core, but rather a sharp and dangerous point.

“Grandma, could you tell me about this wand?” Zellier asked, showing interest.

"Oh... this wand is called [Nightmare]."

The old lady's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw Zellier's choice.

"Its base material is rare meteorite wood, which has excellent magic conductivity."

"This wood is as hard as glass, and even the leaves are like stone shards. When the wind blows, they collide with each other and make a clanging sound."

"The special feature of Night's Ward is that it cannot be inlaid with a specific attribute core, so it can only have a universal resonance circuit engraved on its surface."

"That is why Ye Ning can amplify the magic of all schools, but the effect is definitely not as great as those wands that specialize in a specific attribute, but it is better because it is all-rounder."

The old lady added.

"However, generally no mage needs such a wand. Most mages specialize in one school of magic throughout their lives."

"Even those mages with good talent who are proficient in two magic systems will only choose one magic school as their major, and when choosing a wand, they will prioritize the type that can amplify their major magic."

The more Zelier played with Ye Ning, the more he liked it. After listening to the old lady's introduction, he was even more tempted.

Others may not need a wand that can amplify all magical styles, but he does.

The Art of Evolution has granted me the opportunity to use all schools of magic, and I must make good use of it.

Moreover, the design of this wand
So handsome!

Nighting perfectly matches Zelier's aesthetic; it is over half a meter long and has a sleek and understated design.

Zellier tried swinging it a couple of times, and it was powerful and felt great.

"Oh, Ye Ning also has another characteristic, which is that it is very hard. Even if it is cleaved by swords and knives, it will not be easily damaged."

The old lady said, "It might be useful as a close-combat weapon in a critical moment, which is a small advantage, but it's generally not needed."

I like it more!

Seeing Zell's expression, Bev knew he was interested in the wand, so she spoke up.

"Try it out, Zeliel, and see how well it matches your magic."

"it is good."

Zellir began to infuse his magic into Nightingale, first experimenting with elemental magic.

Similar to the Flame Heart from before, Ye Ning accelerated his perception of the elements.

However, just as the old lady said, Zelier could clearly feel that Ye Ning's increase in the gathered elements was not as great as that of the Flame Heart.

Next up is arcane magic.

The effect was equally noticeable this time. Ye Ning had also increased the flow and intensity of magic, but it was still not as much as the previous wand that specialized in arcane magic.

Mental magic.

Zelier only learned the Speech of Evil. When he tried to outline the structure of the spell through Ye Ning, his control over his mental power became much stronger and smoother, so it seemed to be effective.

Finally, there's Enchanting Magic.

Unlike other schools of magic, Ye Ning's enhancement of empowerment magic makes the magical properties more gentle, resulting in better effects from the empowerment magic.

"How are you feeling?" Bev asked expectantly, seeing the undisguised surprise on Zellier's face. "Very good," Zellier answered honestly.

He needs a wand that can amplify all types of magic.

"Then this one will do. I also think it's the best for you."

Bev clapped her hands in satisfaction and asked the shopkeeper, "Grandma, how much is this Nightshade Wand?"

Zellier's heart also jumped.

Even if Beverly claimed to be a friend... he simply didn't have the nerve to accept such a valuable gift so readily.

This is not a small sum of money, not just a few gold coins.

Zellier quietly made up his mind.

Consider this money a loan from me. Once I earn back the money from my own missions, I will definitely pay it back to Beve with interest.

"One hundred gold coins." The old woman still had that kind smile on her face.

"Wha...what?"

Upon hearing this number, Bev was somewhat incredulous.

"One hundred gold coins? Grandma, you...you must have misquoted the price."

Zellier was also very surprised.

The wands priced around 100 gold coins at the entrance are nothing compared to Ye Ning's.

Zellier had assumed the wand would cost at least two hundred gold coins, or more.

This was quite unexpected for him.

"No error message, it's one hundred gold coins."

The old lady explained.

"As you know, very few people need this kind of wand that amplifies multiple types of magic these days. It's been sitting here with me for years, and I still can't sell it."

"It's a kind of fate that it has found a suitable owner like your friend, so let's sell it at a lower price."

So... there was a bit of a bargain involved? Zellier was overjoyed.

“Then…then I…” Bev was still calculating how much she would have to pay.

Zellir definitely wouldn't be willing to pay for everything himself.

Then let's just do half and half?
However, while Beve was still thinking, Zellier had already stepped forward.

He simply and decisively placed the money bag on the counter.

“Grandma, here are one hundred gold coins. I’ll buy this wand,” Zellier said.

Then he turned and smiled at Beverly.

"Bev, since this price is within my budget, you don't need to pay."

I, Beverly, wanted to say something more.

However, seeing that the old lady had already put the money bag away, she could only give up and sighed softly.

"All right."

After leaving the wand shop, Zellier was in a pretty good mood.

Being able to buy such a handy wand for a hundred gold coins is already a great deal. I need to find an opportunity to properly test Ye Ning's ability to enhance his combat power.

But Bev next to her looked rather sullen.

She kicked at the pebbles under her feet as she walked, her lips slightly pursed, seemingly lost in thought.

"What's wrong, Bev?" Zelil noticed her change in mood.

"Ugh"

Bev stopped and looked at Zell with some frustration.

"I feel like I made a wasted trip today. I was planning to give you a big gift, but you bought it all by yourself without me having to pay for it."

Seeing Bev's dejected appearance, Zellier found it inexplicably cute.

I wonder if I'll get punched if I touch her head now.

"Sometimes, friendship cannot be measured by how much money is spent."

Zellier thought for a moment and then changed his approach to offer some comfort.

"I'm already very happy that you had the thought of celebrating for me."

Upon hearing this, Bev was visibly taken aback.

"Hmph, mind your own business!"

Beverly muttered under her breath, "Anyway, I just want to spend some money on you."

"You find gold coins too heavy to carry around, huh?" Zellier thought to himself.

Before they had gone far, Beverly grabbed Zelil's sleeve again and headed in another direction from the trading post.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Zellier unconsciously followed Beverly's steps. "Is there anything you want to buy?"
