Chapter 538 Do You Want to Crack the Vampire Clan? If It Can’t Be Broken, Buy It at a High Price!

"Try it?" Viscount Sebesh picked up the small black paper bag in his hand, walked back and forth, and observed it repeatedly.

"Try it!" Grete nodded confidently: "I've tried it before! It works! No problem!"

"Are you really going to try this?"

Yulia held up her precious little lace umbrella and floated past the two of them. Wisps of mist naturally fall from the edge of the parasol, easily blocking the less intense sunlight in the evening.

The vampire with a girlish appearance stopped and turned around. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said with a mocking tone:

"Be careful, it's like silver powder and will burn you directly!"

Viscount Sebesh also hesitated on this point. Although he could resist the burning of silver powder to a certain extent, it was definitely not a pleasant experience. The burning power of the thing Grete came up with cannot be greater than silver powder...

Gretel is also a healer after all! The holy light emitted by the healer is harmful to their vampires!

Gretel calmly expressed that he was confident. He took out a document from his space bag and handed it over directly:

"Then, records of experiments done with skeleton soldiers. These things, the lowest skeleton soldiers, held them in their hands for half an hour without any signs of burns!"

The record book is densely packed with handwriting. The shades are different, the handwriting is different, and the signatures are different. They clearly come from more than ten magicians. The test duration, mana value, and quantity of materials used are different for each group.

If the experimental records are forged, this fraud project will be too troublesome.

Viscount Sebesh glanced at the experimental records and then looked at the results. The test used the lowest skeleton soldiers. After using Grete's newly developed casting materials, each one could be supported in the sun for as little as 30 minutes and as long as two hours.

"It looks pretty good.—Shall I give it a try?"

"Try it! - Don't keep looking at the paper bag after tearing it apart! Use it immediately! If this casting material has been exposed to light for a long time, it will not be easy to use!"

The test results are indeed good. A thin black smoke rose from the torn paper bag, effectively blocking out the sunlight. Viscount Sebesh relaxed all over, took another piece and rubbed it back and forth in his hand, and sighed with satisfaction:

"It's really useful! - How do you plan to sell this kind of casting material?"

"Can you give me a price?"

"Then I have to wait and study..."

Grete was very easy to talk to and was not embarrassed at all. He raised his hand and gave him all the remaining spell-casting materials:

"Help me promote the sales! If the order quantity is large, you can get a discount!"

In a small stack of paper bags, two coins were used and eight coins were left. It’s not expensive anyway, let’s see what you can try out…

Viscount Sebesh returned to the room, closed the door, and extinguished all the lights—the Vampires had dark vision anyway, so there was no need for that—and he couldn’t wait to take out one, and looked up and down, left and right:

A square slice. One inch long, one inch wide, not much wider than a human hair.

Light black, translucent, uniform thickness, smooth surface. The edge breaks are smooth and smooth, but the corners are a little crooked.

"Cut it with a knife? It was originally a complete piece?" Viscount Sebesh touched the four corners of the slice and came to a conclusion. But what on earth is this?

Not like crystal, not like glass, not like ivory, not like shell. Viscount Sebesh has lived for a hundred years and has never seen anything like this.

"Mages always make some weird things." The young vampire muttered, and threw an appraisal spell on the spot.

No feedback.

Identification cannot.

Identification means that it knows me, I don't know it...

"Cunning humans."

Viscount Sebesh shrugged, not surprised at all. It's normal if it can't be identified. If it can be identified directly, what will humans get for selling it?

Is it the identification spell? It can give feedback on items that were entered when this spell was created, or when the version the caster learned was created. For items that have not been entered, it can only give some basic information:

Length, width, height, weight. What it may contain (sometimes not sure), possible production techniques (often not sure). Then, if the appraiser is experienced and can use a series of methods to provide richer information, it can also increase the success rate of appraisal.

Otherwise, what is the use of appraising the master? If everyone has an identification technique, wouldn't everything be solved?

He calmly opened the bottles. Balances, beakers, test tubes, crucibles, various reagents... Then, he carefully took out a thin slice, cut it off to a size of 1 square centimeter, threw it in front of the alchemy table, and started tossing.

observe.

Weigh.

Use a knife to scrape off the surface powder.

Put it into a test tube, add reagents, and observe the reaction.

Add sulfuric acid in the first wave. Viscount Sebesh watched helplessly and waited for a long time, but seemed to have no reaction...

Then, scrape some powder and add some caustic soda and try?

...This time there was a reaction, but it was quite weak, not much better than nothing. Viscount Sebesh tried nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and baking soda, but nothing seemed to work...

So, let's burn it and see? Viscount Sebesh carefully cut off another 1 square centimeter, held it with tweezers, and brought it close to the alcohol lamp.

Oops, it burns so fast!

Obviously, this thing is flammable. However, the flame has no special color, so I still can’t tell what it is...

Viscount Sebesh stayed in his room, rolled up his sleeves, and worked hard. He continued to work until the night was already dark, and his friends came over and knocked on the door. Then with a pair of dull eyes, he went over to open the door:

"Why are you looking for me... I haven't finished my work yet... I haven't identified what this thing is yet..."

Soon, a group of bad friends rolled up their sleeves and joined Viscount Sebesh.

The alchemy level of these few people is even worse than that of Viscount Besh. Five people had one point, and each person had a thin slice one inch long and one inch wide. Before the result could be obtained, it had already disappeared among various reagents.

Then, in addition to being flammable, flammable, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, and oil-resistant, after a long time of tossing, no one came to any reliable conclusion. As for what this thing is, sorry.

"Where are you from?"

"The Nordmark mage gave it to me. It can be used as a casting material instead of silver powder to block the sun. I have tried it and it works very well and does not hurt my hands."

"So you want to try and see if you can parse it? If you can parse it, you don't have to buy it?"

"That's for sure! Why buy it when you can do it yourself!"

However, it is shameful that so many noble vampires tried their best, but still failed. Everyone looked at each other in confusion and struggled with the remaining two flakes for a while. Suddenly someone said:

"There are too few experimental materials!"

One word awakens the dreamer. The young vampires all agreed:

"Yes, that's right, it must be too little! If there were more experimental materials, it would definitely not fail!"

"Sebesh, that magician is coming tomorrow, ask him to buy more copies! Let's pool the money together!"

"Buy a hundred copies! One hundred copies is enough!"

"If we still can't research it after a hundred copies... we'll just buy it..."

This answer was unanimously agreed upon by everyone. The next night, when Grete came to visit again, Viscount Sebesh indeed made a request to buy it.

"It's a small batch... If you make 100 copies, it's 10 gold coins each. The benefit is 1,000 gold coins."

"So expensive?"

"A fifth-level transformation mage is responsible for research and development, and a sixth-level necromancer leads the testing. There are so many magicians involved..." Gretel shrugged confidently:

"You have also seen the experimental records."

If you think about it, it's really not expensive. Not only is it not expensive, but for 1,000 gold coins, you can’t even recoup the R&D and testing costs...

——Are you so sure? I feel like if I buy 100 pieces of spell-casting materials, I won’t be able to find out what they are?

--certainly! How can the things I created be so easy to crack?

The two looked at each other with smiles, sparks sparkling in their eyes. For a moment, Viscount Sebesh shrugged and took out the money readily. Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Gretel watched his turning back, and then curled his lips when the young vampire disappeared:

"Big dog owner~~~"

One thousand gold coins, just take it out!

I thought he would counteroffer!

Unfortunately, ten times the number of research subjects does not mean ten times the success rate. The young vampires tossed through half of the materials, but still couldn't get the point and made no progress. There was no choice but to disturb Marquis Tergu with the materials for the sake of the honor of the vampire clan.

The strength of Lord Marquis is indeed different. Holding the thin slice, he closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, and immediately came to the first conclusion:

"There's silver in this."

The young vampires nodded. So far, this is their only result. But... after pushing it to this step, there is no more.

"Not silver powder."

"It's a combination of some substance and silver."

"The silver powder that can burn...well, it should be a high-level material activated by magic, otherwise it would be impossible to do this. However, there is no burning sensation to the touch...um..."

The Marquis closed his eyes and thought. On the other side of the long table, Miss Yulia picked up a thin slice and turned it around on her fingertips. She was suddenly surprised:

"Hey, you can record people's figures on this thin film!"

With a crash, five or six heads came together. The little lace umbrella rotated slightly, and the black light spread out, covering half of the study room. In the black light, a faint figure appeared on the thin film at Miss Yulia's fingertips.

"Looks pretty good."

"Can be used to record enemy images."

"Perhaps we can also absorb part of the soul at the same time?"

"Is it used to curse? What a great idea! You can try it!"

"We need more experimental materials! Buy, buy, buy!"

The vampire's needs were passed from Marquis Turgu to the Archmage, and then from the Archmage to Grete. For this kind of casting material that can block the sun, protect vampires and undead creatures, and capture images, the vampires have offered an astonishingly high price:

For a single purchase of one thousand pieces, each piece costs five gold coins, for a total price of 5,000 gold coins.

"By the way, can it be cheaper for Black Crow Swamp?"

Archmage Grom asked in passing. It's only five gold coins, but a fledgling mage apprentice really can't afford it. However, the lower the level of skeleton soldiers, the more they need this thing...

"Okay! - Otherwise, I will sell the patent to you, and you will be responsible for manufacturing and supplying the goods, and you will just give me a share of the money?"
