Chapter: 330

“Oh.. I see. Thanks.”

“Is there anything else?” Lillian smiled as she shut the window, not even listening to Jays answer.

“N-…” he turned around as the window shut and walked back to the bench “No thanks”.

He went back into the trade platform, doing a ‘wand’ search again, he found the goblin wand.

[Goblin Wand]

[Trophy]

[46 gold]

“Oh, this is actually… pretty expensive.” Jay thought, “Viladore’s pretty generous I guess.” he was starting to appreciate Viladore now, despite his frustrated attitude from his class.

“Huh, it’s in a trophy category, so I guess most monster drops like this would be there?”

Jay browsed the other wands for a moment that came up in the search, but he really was out of his depth, and none of them really peaked his interest.

There were hundreds of wands, most of them expensive and with strange names that he had never heard of.

[Glomscach Wand] [Heinous Screamer Wand] [Abathess Wand] [Charmer’s Wand] [Hatecraft Wand]

Jay did scroll past a few that had [trophy] and sounded like they belonged to monsters, but they were either cheaper than Jays or incredibly expensive.

This was when Jay realised a second problem.

Checking the prices, he realised that these would have their value determined by how good they were to look at. The price had no bearing on if they worked well or not; no human could test them.

“Perhaps a rare but beautiful wand may belong to an illusive low level creature, making the wand a collectors item and raising its value. Practically though, the wand could be useless… it seems like trophies are something only the nobles would buy too.”

“Dammit… this just gets more complicated.” he frowned slightly, his grin long gone.

Jay then decided to search by category and brought up the trophy listings.

Similar to the wands, there were hundreds, maybe thousands. The list seemed to go on and on.

Jay had to scroll through for 5 minutes before finding a wand, [Water Hoplite Wand], though it was incredibly expensive.

This is when he realised another problem too: a spell channel doesn’t necessarily have to be a wand. The crystal he had was a spell channel, and it wasn’t a wand.

Surely there were other monster drops that no one knew were spell channels.

Frustrated, Jay let out a long sigh.

“Seems like I have wasted this trip.” he thought as he closed the trade window, a defeated frown on his face. There were simply too many unknowns.

Besides, Jay doesn’t want to risk his hard-earned money on something that will make spell-casting deadlier, especially since he doesn’t have any spells in the first place.
