Chapter 40 - OTKE Chapter 40: The Impractical Magic

"Books?" Quentina shook her head and said, "How could there be such a place? Paper is very expensive, and only nobles have collections of books."

"Is that so? Then never mind," Hades said, feeling a little disappointed.

As expected, in any world, knowledge was firmly grasped by the upper classes. Hades felt that if he wanted to understand this world in depth, he still needed to start with the history of this world after hearing Quentina mention five hundred years ago.

But he didn't dare to ask for too detailed information directly. For the people of this world, maybe these things were already common sense.

If someone suddenly ran over and asked like they lacked common sense, then they would definitely leave a deep impression.

And a place like the Magic Caster's Guild, even he had thought of coming here to investigate. So Momonga might have a chance to come here.

Hades predicted that Momonga would probably ask similar questions. He couldn't do anything about the previous conversation, but he couldn't let these two girls have a further impression of him next.

Otherwise, it would be bad if these two girls accidentally leaked something because they were too impressed with him.

He didn't have any good ideas about the matter of Nazarick for the time being. He had done what he could do.

If he had already hidden to this point and Nazarick could still find him, then he could only fight. It wasn't a big deal if he couldn't beat them, he could just run away.

Even if they used Dimensional Lock to block the space, his two legs weren't for nothing. With his Monk's speed and having nearly level 190 attributes, he could run away and they wouldn't necessarily catch up.

Unless he was subjected to a large-scale encirclement, but based on the current situation analysis, Nazarick still had to find him first.

What was most important now was to speed up his understanding of this world. Although he had just received bad news that the power limit of this world was relatively low, there was also good news at the same time. This world had dragons.

Dragons were one of the sources of various high-level materials. With dragons, there would be a place to replenish materials.

He had originally felt a little desperate after hearing that the highest was only sixth-tier magic, and was about to return to the hotel to figure out how to allocate and use the materials in his backpack.

But he unexpectedly learned that there were dragons in this world. Dragons were high-level BOSSes in YGGDRASIL.

The highest level of humans was only 42. Although he didn't know what the other races were like, Hades didn't have too high expectations.

Even if it wasn't humans, if there was tenth-tier magic in the world, how could these two girls say that tenth-tier magic didn't exist?

And the level of dragons was at least 90 or higher. Hades had thought that it was impossible for creatures with such a large level difference to exist, otherwise a complete natural ecosystem would collapse.

In the game, those monsters whose levels gradually increased were not only for the convenience of players leveling up, but also contained the form of a biological ecosystem in nature.

But now it seemed that he couldn't use common sense to infer the other world. Or he didn't know enough about the other world. Hades sighed again.

He was afraid that he would ask some questions that seemed idiotic to the locals, which would leave a deep impression on them and expose him.

Therefore, he prepared to buy some books back to understand the basic common sense of this world, but now it seemed that there wasn't even a place to buy books. If he wanted to know something, he could only ask from the mouths of the locals.

Hades was thinking about things while absentmindedly flipping through the scroll catalog. It was impossible not to be frustrated.

He flipped through the scroll catalog again, unwilling to give up, maybe the magic of the other world was different from what he knew. After all, he couldn't judge the other world with common sense.

Catherine and Quentina didn't disturb him either. Although his words just now sounded like he was making trouble, they wouldn't drive him away as long as he bought something.

Perhaps it was because he was looking through it with the mindset of finding differences this time, Hades actually found a few magic spells that he hadn't seen in YGGDRASIL.

"What is this magic?" Hades pointed to the magic on the catalog and asked Quentina Lorman. He still had a good impression of this girl who had laughed at him. At least she wouldn't be warm on the surface but cold on the inside.

"This? "First-Tier Paper Creation." It can use magic to create paper. Are you planning to buy this scroll? Although it's relatively cheap, I advise you not to buy this," Quentina said.

"What kind of magic is it?" Hades asked.

"It creates paper just like the name says, but it's not very practical. Using this scroll can create two sheets of paper. It's equivalent to spending 5 silver coins to buy two sheets of paper. People who buy this kind of scroll are generally just for research purposes. If you really want to buy paper, I recommend you go to "Bruno's Tool Workshop." They sell paper in addition to tools."

Quentina explained to Hades. This scroll was also one of the few commodities that didn't use gold coins to price it.

If a magic caster cast it personally, they could control the consumption of magic power to increase the number of sheets of paper. But if it was made into a scroll, it could only create two sheets.

Master Laxil had said that the effect of the scroll would only have the lowest effect of that magic. So if the pricing of such magic was very high, it wouldn't sell at all.

But even if the pricing was so low, very few people bought this kind of scroll. It was better to just buy paper than to make paper in this way.

"Oh, thank you, please get me two copies," Hades said, taking out a gold coin from his pocket and handing it over. One scroll was 5 silver coins, so two would be 10 silver coins, but he didn't have enough silver coins in his pocket.

"Are you really going to buy this scroll?" Quentina asked in surprise. She had already explained it very clearly.

This kind of scroll with no cost performance was generally used for research, but this person was still going to buy it.

She observed that Hades was wearing a copper adventurer's badge and felt that he didn't look like the kind of person who researched magic.

"Hmm," Hades nodded.

He didn't have much money, at least not much now. The scrolls here basically cost more than one gold coin.

Only a few were settled with silver coins. If he was financially wealthy, he wanted to buy all those magic scrolls that he hadn't seen to do research.

But his wallet didn't allow it. This Paper Creation magic was the cheapest. Besides, in YGGDRASIL, the production of scrolls also required paper.

Of course, it was low-tier magic. In the game, paper could be purchased directly and didn't need to be collected separately.

If the paper created by this magic could be used as a material for low-tier scrolls, then it would be quite practical.

Although he looked down on low-tier offensive magic, some functional low-tier magic spells were more practical.

After receiving the ten silver coins that Quentina had returned, Hades left the Magic Caster's Guild. Looking at the dilapidated two-story building of the Magic Caster's Guild, he pondered for a moment, and then found an empty alley.

"Number One."

Hades called out to the Hanzo who was hiding in his shadow. After returning from that village, five Hanzos had been hiding in his shadow, ready to listen to his orders at any time.

"Lord Hades, what do you need?" Hanzo Number One appeared silently in front of Hades.

"Help me keep an eye on this place and record who comes here. Don't be discovered," Hades said.
