The Immortal God of War

Chapter 462: All the snobbery in the world comes from poverty

After going down to the first floor of the platform, the two walked out of the alley.

Maggie, who was walking behind Liu Chi, spoke up.

"Lord Liuchi, are we going to the Osprey Empire now?"

Liu Chi smiled and shook his head. Looking at Maggie's casual clothes, he felt something was wrong, so he said,

"You don't have your own wand yet?"

"Ok?"

Maggie looked at Liu Chi in confusion, then nodded.

"The wand I used in the academy was assigned for teaching purposes. It doesn't belong to me. Why are you asking this?"

"Haha! I knew it. Come on, I'll take you to pick out a wand. After all, the wand is the magician's third hand."

Liu Chi walked quickly to the street and greeted the coachman.

"Master, go to Liro Central Commercial Street."

"Okay! Please sit down!"

The coachman quickly got up from the ground, opened the small door of the carriage for Liu Chi and Maggie, then went to his seat outside and drove the horse.

After the carriage started moving, the breeze blew through the windows, bringing some coolness to the carriage.

Maggie opened her mouth and said to Liu Chi,

"Lord Liuchi, please let me buy the wand myself. I always feel that if you treat me like this, I will owe you in the future."

Seeing Maggie's worried look, Liu Chi smiled.

"Don't think too much. All the investments I've made are worth it. You deserve this qualification. If you feel that you owe me something, then practice hard for me. At least let me recognize you in terms of strength. No one can run and walk right after birth, understand?"

Maggie didn't understand why Liu Chi said so much to her, as if he thought she was mentally retarded, so she nodded and simply said,

"I see."

Liu Chi also nodded, and then began to plan a training plan based on Maggie's conditions.

Liu Chi knew very well that without knowing the requirements for recommendation letters from the other two academies, taking the test with Maggie's strength as a junior magician would be like a joke, and would be laughed at if it were made public.

Seeing that Liu Chi looked worried, Maggie didn't think much about it. He closed his eyes slightly, leaned his head on the cushion in the car, leaned his back against the seat, and took a rest.

As the carriage stopped, there was no movement in the carriage for a long time. The coachman then got off the carriage, walked to the front of the carriage, and knocked gently on the door.

"Two guests! We have arrived at our destination."

The sudden interruption startled Liu Chi, who was concentrating all his attention. He immediately came to his senses and saw Maggie who had fallen asleep. Liu Chi opened the door of the carriage, and the sound of the door opening woke Maggie up from her sleep.

Maggie woke up in a daze, rubbing her eyes hard. With blurry vision, she saw the coachman looking at her with a smile at the door of the carriage.

Coming to her senses, Maggie immediately got off the carriage.

Liu Chi also walked back from the street nearby, biting a cone-shaped dessert in his mouth and holding two of the same desserts wrapped in white paper in his right hand.

Liuchi handed one to the coachman and the other to Maggie.

"Here's the fare, uncle. Please keep it. Consider this your treat."

Seeing that the coachman had no intention of taking the dessert, Liu Chi added,

The coachman took the eight silver coins and hesitated for a while before taking the dessert from Liu Chi.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

The coachman smiled, nodded to Liu Chi, and put the small dessert into the package he carried in the carriage.

Liu Chi soon took Maggie into a store that specialized in magician supplies.

The moment the waiter at the counter saw Liu Chi, his eyes lit up. Such a big customer must not be let go and he must make a lot of money from him.

Not long after entering the store, a pretty woman came up to them. She only looked at Liu Chi, and she didn't seem to think that Maggie following behind Liu Chi was his companion, but just happened to catch up with Liu Chi entering the store.

"This distinguished guest, what magic props do you need?"

Seeing the woman's flattering look, Liu Chi regretted wearing such a rich-looking piece of clothing, so he shook his head and said to the woman,

"Well, it's not me. He wants to buy something. You can take him to see if there is a wand that suits him."

The woman was slightly stunned and looked at Maggie behind Liu Chi.

Because it was her first time walking into such a luxurious magic props store, Maggie seemed a little nervous. In the eyes of the experienced waitresses, her nervousness made her look like an ordinary person, an ordinary person lacking confidence. And for them, this feeling could be summed up in two words - no money.

After preparing herself mentally, the woman laughed again and said to Maggie,

"Dear guest, please come in and follow me to see if there is any wand you like."

Maggie walked to the front of Liu Chi, looked at Liu Chi who was standing still, and asked,

"Won't you come over and take a look?"

Liu Chi shook his head, walked to the sofa in the store, and said as he walked,

"I'll wait for you here. After all, it's you who wants to buy the wand, and I can't provide any information about it. Okay, go and take a look."

Maggie nodded and followed the woman's footsteps step by step to a location a little further inside.

When Maggie saw a whole wall covered with magic wands of different shapes, she became uneasy, like a mountain dweller entering the city.

He immediately walked to the wall and found that the wall was actually a thin layer of transparent crystal, which completely protected the magic wand.

Looking at the wall of wands, Maggie was at a loss for words.

Seeing this, the woman moved her hand to a certain place on the crystal and said,

"Why don't you take a look at this? It's a standard 1.2 meter long wand with a magic crystal embedded on the top. The price below is the selling price."

Listening to the woman's words, Maggie moved her eyes to where the woman was pointing.

The first time she saw the wand, Maggie shook her head. It was not because she saw the price of the wand, but because she did not like this wand from the bottom of her heart.

"Forget it, let me see for myself."

Because of Liu Chi's support, when Maggie chose a magic wand, she didn't pay attention to the price of the wand at the first place, but put beauty and practicality first.

Before long, Maggie took a fancy to the five wands behind the crystal cover. These five wands had one thing in common, that is, their lengths were between twenty and forty centimeters, like the batons in the hands of a band conductor.

These five specifications of wands happen to be the standard teaching wands of the Imperial Academy. Maggie, who is used to using this kind of wand, has an inexplicable sense of familiarity with wands of this specification.

After determining the target, Maggie turned to the woman and said,

"Can I try this wand?"

The woman looked in the direction of Maggie's hand. On the label on the wall was a price tag of thirty diamond coins. The woman shook her head almost instinctively without any hesitation.

"Sorry, this high-end wand cannot be touched with your hands. If you want to try it out, just buy it."

Maggie was a little disappointed, but she quickly turned her attention to another wand, pointed at it and said,

"Well, can you let me try this one?"

The woman saw that the price was only six purple crystal coins, hesitated for a moment, and then said,

"Although this is the lowest-end batch of wands in my store, I still say that if you want to try it out, you have to buy it."

After hearing this, Maggie confirmed that the waiter's refusal was not due to the price of the wand, but because of the store's rules.

Just when Liu Chi thought that this was the shop's rule, he clearly saw a noble selecting magic jewelry on the other side. For the noble, the waiter over there personally took out the jewelry from behind the crystal cover and put it on the noble woman.

After seeing this scene, Liu Chi realized the absurdity of this store, so he stood up and walked towards Maggie.

Seeing Liu Chi's figure approaching, Maggie turned her gaze away from the wand.

Without saying anything, Liu Chi pointed directly at the 1.2-meter-long magic wand that the woman had recommended.

"Can you give it a try for me?"

The woman glanced at Maggie subconsciously and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"My dear customer, if you want to try it, you need to buy it first."

"Twenty diamond coins, right?"

Liu Chi stared at the wand, took out twenty diamond coins from the space ring and placed them on the table beside him.

After another waiter counted them, he nodded to the woman, who then smiled, opened the crystal cover and took out the wand.

Liu Chi did not reach out to take the wand that the woman handed over with both hands, but whispered,

"I wanted to take this wand myself, but now you've touched it first. It has lost its value to me, Maggie!"

"I'm here."

"Smash it and throw it in the trash can next to you."

Maggie laughed. At the age of fourteen, he was still young and frivolous. He snatched the wand from the woman's hand and smashed it to the ground with great force. With just one smash, the wand bent.

Along with the sound of knocking, the magic wand and the magic crystal on its top were smashed to pieces, and the woman who was responsible for receiving Maggie just now had a red face.
