CHAPTER 44 - MAGIC SCEPTER CELEBRITY
Translated by Luxican
„Welcome to Miluo."
"This cute little girl, the puppy in your hand is quite special," a sharp voice floated out from the counter.
A round-headed, stern-looking, old-fashioned grandmother sat at the counter, holding a chubby lazy cat in her hands.
The cat's body was huge, but the old woman's body was thin.
At this moment the old woman was looking at Xiao Hei in Yun Sheng's hands with interest. Xiao Hei seemed to dislike the old lady and barked dissatisfied.
When it heard the barking, the cat in the old woman's hand narrowed its eyes. For a moment, a certain tension filled the shop.
"This lady, I would like to buy a magic wand for my daughter," Yun Canghai said with a smile.
The old woman raised her eyelids and looked at Yun Canghai more intensely.
But it was just a glance.
"What kind of magic scepter do you want, how old should the beast be it was made from? Do you need the corresponding demon beast Soulstone do be inlaid immediately?" The old lady's voice was still very harsh.
Yun Sheng didn't say a word, she believed that her father would pick the right magic wand for her, she was more worried if they had enough silver coins to buy it.
"A magic wand made of fifty-years-old beast bones, magical attribute, none, and there's also no need to inlay a Soulstone," Yun Canghai blurted out. When he came to this shop, he had already decided on what kind of magic scepter he wanted.
It was easy to figure out why there would be no Soulstone inlaid.
After all, most of the poor magicians, couldn't afford the expensive finished Soulstones. A large part of them would choose to enter a Demon Beast Zone, hunt down the demon beast that fits their scepter's magic attribute, and collect it themselves.
But a magic wand with "no" attribute was weird.
A magic wand with no attribute and no Soulstone embedded, would mean that no matter what magic was used, the magician wouldn't get a magic boost. What would then be the difference between using a magic wand and no magic wand?
Even the old cat-raising grandmother had never met a customer with such a request.
"Are you sure you want to buy a magic scepter without any magic attributes? Is the little girl a multi-elemental magician?" The old lady looked at Yun Sheng with her blue-grey eyes.
"You are indeed an experienced magic scepter-maker Mrs. Milo Only in your shop can we buy a wand suitable for Sheng'er," Yun Canghai said.
To Yun Sheng's knowledge, a magic scepter could only be inlaid with one type of magic Soulstone.
However, this wasn't the real case.
A magic wand could be inlaid with magic Soulstones of different attributes, but the premise was that the bone itself, that was used to make the magic wand, had no other attributes. Because some of the stones could generate magical repulsion otherwise.
The old lady in front was actually a magical-staff-maker?
Yun Sheng was surprised when she heard this.
Mrs. Milo did not expect to meet someone, in this inconspicuous city, who could recognize her.
She suddenly remembered something, and there was a flash in her old eyes. " I remember now, you were the young man who accompanied that woman 13 years ago, to pick a magic staff at my shop."
Thirteen years ago, ... At that time Yun Sheng was not born yet. The woman who came into the shop with Yun Canghai should be Yun Sheng's mother, Hu Jiusheng.
Mrs. Milo was over sixty years old and has been making magic wands for fifty years now.
She was not one of those prestigious masters, because her shop was very common, she was born from the civilian population, and had never attended one of those famous magic schools.
In addition, she was only a Great Magician of the wood element.
The wood attribute was also part of the secondary magics. Unlike the famous light magic and darkness magic, that people avoided, most of the wood magicians did not have a strong attack power, and their defense capabilities were also average, so they weren't part of the mainstream in the magic world.
However, blessing was caused by misfortune.
Due to Mrs. Milo devoting her life to making magic wands for the civilian magicians, she wasn't able to become a powerful magician herself.
However, it was also for this reason that her magic scepters were well-respected by the civilian magicians, for her good workmanship and reasonable price.
Especially those young magicians who had just become Magicians, would travel thousands of miles to buy a scepter from Madame Milo as the first scepter of their magic career.
"It turned out to be the daughter of an old friend. If this old woman's memory isn't wrong, your wife was a summoner," Mrs. Milo noticed, when she mentioned the incident 13 years ago, Yun Canghai's eyes suddenly changed.
Mrs. Milo didn't continue this topic, and instead looked at Yun Sheng.
With this look, it was found that although the girl in front of her wore humble cloths, her face was exquisite, and her smart eyes were particularly brilliant.
The girl was staring intently at the several magic scepters, and the conversation between them seemed to have been completely ignored.
There were also reasons why Yun Canghai chose the fifty-year-old bones.
Even if the magic scepter had been made, the grievances of the demon beast would still be present.
Especially in those magic scepters that had been made of the bones of a brutally killed demon beast. If they were not used properly, they could even harm the users.
Generally speaking, the first wand of a magician was just a transition wand. After growing into a more advanced magician, they could choose to replace the magic wand.
At Yun Sheng's age it would be impossible to wield a magic wand with a bone over fifty-years-old. But it still had to be taken into account that Yun Sheng would have to use it for the next few years.
"It will be difficult to handle if it's a bone without magic attribute," Mrs. Milo was also embarrassed, she glanced at Xiao Hei in Yun Sheng's arms. "He seems to be a demon beast without attributes."
As Xiao Hei heard that, his hair stood on end.
In the arms of Mrs. Milo, the fat cat glanced at him provocatively.
"Xiao Hei is my beast. I would rather not have a magic scepter than lose Xiao Hei," Yun Sheng hugged Xiao Hei tightly, as if afraid that Mrs. Milo would process him into a wand.
Seeing this, Yun Canghai found it funny.
For most of the time, Yun Sheng was a lot calmer than a normal child, which also made Yun Canghai distressed a little.
Only at this time, his daughter looked like a real six-year-old girl.
