There's only one shop that's always open; it's at the end of the path from here.
Becky pointed in the direction at the end of the road.
"Read them all once."
An Yi turned around and walked into a shop where demons were selling things.
"Wait! Sword Master! Did you bring any money? I don't have any!" Becky shouted as she chased after him.
Perhaps taking into account the fact that there are many demons whose body size is similar to that of humans, the counters displaying goods are actually not very tall, almost the same as those in human shops.
For large-sized demons, this is no different from browsing a street market.
When the customer arrived, the seller didn't rush out to greet him. There was no need for enthusiastic hospitality here; the customer would ask directly if he was interested or had any needs.
Chapter 154 What others didn't want, I picked up.
If we consider "Hidden Magic" as an attribute on an item, then while it's rare, it's not actually that rare.
Because items that conceal magical power also have different rarity levels.
The most basic items are very common in the black market.
An Yi didn't come here just to find one item, but to stock up on... enough items for all the high-magic-powered heroes.
Being able to conceal one's magic means one can enter the depths of the demon realm "silently".
That way, I won't have to stand out like a bunch of people every time I visit a low-level demon city.
There's no need to worry about the demons discovering their route into demon territory.
Although these low-level items are ineffective against higher-level demons, they are sufficient to shield lower-level demons from their perception.
Following An Yi into the shop, Becky watched An Yi's back as she pondered over the merchandise with her head down, and a brilliant idea flashed in her mind!
It's time to shine!
"Sword Master, feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know. Perhaps I can be of some help!" Becky said confidently.
Don't let her young age fool you; she's been through rigorous training!
I can't say I can recognize 100% of the magical items on the black market, but I can at least recognize 70-80% of the common ones.
There are many types of magical items, but they are also broadly categorized. For example, what do these items look like and what are their effects? They are all pretty much the same.
Ultimately, the production team wouldn't put much effort into designing low-level magical items; anything that stands out is at least extremely rare or high-level.
"Do you recognize these things?" Annie asked casually, without turning to look at her.
"I know him!" Becky exclaimed excitedly.
I don't know them all, but I must say I do here!
"You said you weren't familiar with the people in the black market, so why do you know about their goods?" An Yi asked.
“Our teacher taught us how to identify various items on the black market, so we can obtain them when we need them!” Becky answered honestly.
"Really? Succubi have such good memories," Annie said calmly.
It's worth noting that less than a year has passed since the first hero appeared, and the succubi formed their organization even later.
In such a short period of time, they were able to train succubi with a certain level of professional knowledge, which shows that succubi are quite capable.
"Hoo—haha—I knew it! That's why my ears were buzzing! Turns out there were two bugs next to me!" (Demon language)
Suddenly, another demon standing in front of the stall, draped in a huge black robe and whose face was obscured, let out a mocking laugh.
It turned its head and looked down at the two of them; beneath the black robe was actually a tree with a face!
Becky recognized him immediately.
It's a tree spirit!
For a succubus, this is an enemy that is absolutely impossible to defeat.
Firstly, because succubi don't know any offensive magic, and secondly...
These elemental beings are completely unaffected by charm!
"The demons are as foolish as ever," An Yi said calmly.
Becky: "..."
I am a demon, after all!
It's not that demons are truly brainless, but rather that it's counterintuitive that demons, who are smaller than us, have no magic power, and are still stronger.
To the enormous demons, An Yi looked like a small animal.
No one would think a rabbit could kill them, right?
"The bugs are squawking again! Hand over all your money if you don't want to die!" (Demon language)
With a loud bang, the ground trembled violently.
Perhaps the tree spirit used some kind of magic, because the seller on the other side didn't pay any attention to it and just sat silently to the side.
The seller is a humanoid demon, but instead of a human face, it has a round, black cannon barrel the size of a human head on its head. Its race is called the "Cannon-Headed Man".
As a wandering merchant in the black market, it was already used to such noisy scenes in front of its goods.
Whether someone can enter the black market is strong or not is unknown, but they definitely have some money. If they encounter someone stronger than themselves, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
The "Cannon-Head Man" is a level six demon, second only to the city lord in terms of strength within the city.
Many wandering merchants will stay in areas where the overall strength is lower than their own to sell their goods, so that they will not be at risk of being robbed.
Whether the guests will be robbed is irrelevant to it.
Unless a customer offers a high price to sell it, it will only stand by and watch. +0—±7￣&ba． ¤Zero〃『
The current situation might even allow it to make an extra profit.
How much money they'll pay to sell is something they decide for themselves.
"Boss, do you have any items that can conceal magic power?" An Yi asked the cannon-wielding man in front of her without even looking at the tree spirit.
"What do you want?" The gunner smiled inwardly, asking without any tone of voice.
Ignoring the other party is not a smart option.
"You—?!" The tree spirit was about to get angry.
"Mist Ring, Demon-Blocking Necklace, Demon-Concealing Cloak, Ghost Veil, Hermit's Orb, Demon-Shielding Mirror, Demon-Sealing Headband..."
……
...A mask of deceit, a black staff, or something like that—surely one of them is one.
An Yi rattled off the names of dozens of magical items with hidden magic power, as if reciting a menu, leaving all the demons present, including Becky, stunned.
The tree spirit and the other demon customers present were thinking;
Is he talking nonsense?
The cannon-wielder was surprised;
He wasn't just making things up.
These magical items are real!
Becky stared blankly for a moment, her mouth agape, before her face flushed bright red.
She just said she wanted to help An Yi, but she's never even heard of at least seven or eight of the dozens of magical items the other person mentioned... no! More than a dozen!
What do you mean by "maybe I can be of some help"?!
That makes sense. How could someone as powerful as the Sword Master not recognize all the magical items?
Her teacher couldn't possibly be more knowledgeable than the Sword Master!
The gunner hesitated for a moment, then took out a small cloth bag from the backpack on his back and emptied its contents.
"That's all for now, take what you need," the gunner said calmly.
An Yi glanced at it, then took out a rather disproportionately large pouch from his cloak and tossed it to the gunner.
The other person reached out and took it, weighed it in their hand, and then opened it to roughly count the coins inside.
The tree spirit next to him looked at the fanny pack with some confusion, feeling that it looked somewhat familiar.
But An Yi is a discerning person; she might not be as simple as she seems. Perhaps she has some kind of background?
If it has provoked the other party and the other party has not acted rashly, then it should take it easy.
The gunner put away his pouch and then said to An Yi, "Almost, but you can have it all if you want."
I come here around these days every month, and I can help you find anything you need.
"Being not."
After saying that, Annie wrapped the props together in the cloth bag below, turned around and handed it to Becky, and then left the house.
Walking down the street, Becky asked;
"Sword Master, I remember you didn't bring such a big money bag when you came. Where did it come from?"
"I picked up what others didn't want."
Chapter 155 Gears Turning
These items that conceal magical powers are just small pieces of jewelry, not large items, so they are not troublesome to carry.
For demons, this kind of thing is not very useful.
Because magic power is a symbol of strength, they desperately want all demons to know how much magic power they possess.
Just like body size, only those with large bodies will not be bullied among the demons.
Hiding one's magic is like cutting off one's own legs, making oneself appear easy to bully, and one can't imagine how much trouble that would cause.
Anyi just glanced at the number of magical items; there were exactly ten, but...
There aren't actually enough for all the heroes.
The Sky Hero Squad consists of four members, all of whom primarily focus on magic power; four of them have already left.
Both mage and support heroes primarily focus on magic power, and each party has at least two heroes with high magic power.
