is currently in the process of collecting trash; please do not disturb.

[Talented Black Market Merchants Never Die in Poverty!]

The Eye of Grandet!

Lou Le looked at the massive pile of garbage, and suddenly a large expanse of densely packed text appeared before his eyes.

Like a computer infected with a virus, huge pop-up windows filled my entire field of vision, and my brain almost crashed.

Despite his headache, Lou Le had a sudden thought.

"Only actively probe for information about alchemical items, as well as items of sufficient value."

She set up her own Eye of Grandet like this.

The large number of information pop-ups in front of them disappeared instantly, leaving only various pale golden lights emanating from them.

Some were buried deep in the garbage dumps, while others were found in the garbage dumps outside the city walls.

She looked at them one by one.

A broken candlestick

It is made of copper.

Its quality is its entire value.

"Hmm, it seems like the Eye of Scrooge. It can't set different glows based on the rarity of the item. They're generally all gold, which is a pity."

Lou Le muttered to himself as he stuffed the small section of the candlestick into his own bosom.

This is made of copper!

"Hey! Don't cross the line!"

A beggar standing on a pile of garbage was shouting insults at Lou Le.

"This is where noble gentlemen and mage gentlemen take out their trash. Is this a place for you? Go somewhere else!?"

Other beggars were also secretly picking up trash in the area.

Lou Le looked at the other person's tall and muscular physique, and then thought about his own small frame.

She gritted her teeth.

I will endure!

She turned and walked towards the outside of the city wall, where many lights were also emanating. Moreover, it was unclaimed territory.

I was just extremely depressed.

"You're fighting tooth and nail over something as simple as picking up trash! Anyone who didn't know better would think you were digging for gold!"

As Lou Le grumbled at the beggars, his desire for power intensified.

"Without power, you get chased away even when you're picking up trash."

"I wish I could become a mage, but I don't know if my witch powers are enough to use the spells here."

Outside the city walls was a vast open space, the surrounding forests had been completely cut down. Only piles of garbage remained.

While picking up trash, Lou Le pondered how to learn magic.

He then carefully took out the adventurer's diary and began searching.

However, there are very few diaries about magic, and the diaries that are related to magic all record envy of magic and worship of the mages.

—The mages really like the crystalline organs inside monsters, and basically most of these kinds of quests are issued by mages.

Some say the mage can draw power from the crystalline organs of these monsters, while others say he is actually replacing his own organs with those of the monsters.

However, I think these words are even more false than what the gossipy village women on the street say.

A kobold's canine tooth is worth only one silver coin, and which mage hasn't collected hundreds or thousands of them? But the mage's mouth hasn't grown hundreds or thousands of canine teeth.

····

After reading through the notes on magic, Lou Le pondered, "The mages must collect these crystalline organs for a reason. And the frequency of their collection suggests they're doing research."

"There seem to be a few canine teeth in the bag. I can use the Eye of Scrooge to examine them."

"I was so worried about hunger that I forgot about this."

Reflecting on this, Lou Le decided that from now on, no matter what he obtained, he would use the Eye of Grandet to appraise it.

She took all the canine teeth out of her handbag and examined them carefully.

Broken canine tooth

It is a type of alchemical item.

It can be used as a material.

It can grant you certain knowledge and power.

It can be disguised as a more perfect canine tooth and sold for a higher price.

Other canine teeth have prefixes such as "perfect," "excellent," or even "cavities discarded by priests."

"So, you have to grind it up yourself and then drink it?"

Lou Le pinched his canine teeth, recalling what was recorded in the diary.

She looked around and, after making sure no one was there, raised her canine tooth to the sunlight.

The red canine teeth shone like crystals in the sunlight, but they had a strange structure inside.

"Would you like to try magic?"

Lou Le was reluctant to drink the canine tooth powder. He wanted to try other methods first, and wait until he was desperate before drinking it.

Thinking this way, she picked and chose, and found the worst quality canine tooth.

Clenching her fists tightly, she guided the Witch's Spring within her body, channeling the magic along her skin and into her canine teeth little by little.

Suddenly, a strange change occurred; the canine tooth gradually became hot, and all the red color seemed to be ignited.

It emitted a faint red light, so hot that Lou Le couldn't even clench his fist.

When I let go, I saw that the canine tooth was burning at a rapid speed.

A strange and complex pattern appeared in the canine tooth, and the same complex pattern also appeared on the crystal wall of the Witch's Spring.

However, it seems to be incomplete?

In just a few breaths, the canine tooth turned into a ball of snow-white ash.

Lou Le quickly used the Eye of Grandet to look at the pattern on the crystal wall of the Witch's Spring.

[Incomplete Ignite spell model]

It is incomplete.

It can be completed.

It requires mana.

It is being transformed by the Witch's Spring into a spell model suitable for magical power.

Lou Le's heart sank as he glanced at the message.

"So magic power and magical power are indeed different power systems? But do mages really obtain their spells from the crystalline organs of these monsters? Are all the spells inside the kobolds' canine teeth the same?"

She muttered something to herself before infusing the other canine teeth with magic, one by one.

Whether it's excellent or perfect, even that [decayed canine tooth discarded by the priest], Lou Le has imbued it with magic.

"I lost six silver coins, that hurts!"

The only pleasant surprise was that the spell model for [Ignite] was completed, and we also gained a new spell model called [Floating Fire].

Look at the two spell models with the Eye of Grandet.

[Ignite - Twisted by the Witch's Spring]

It is a first-circle spell.

It will consume one point of magic power to ignite the item or creature you have locked onto.

The flames formed by ignition can consume surrounding mana to maintain their burning.

[The Floating Flame - Distorted by the Witch's Spring]

It is a first-circle spell.

It can leave a mark in the flames, causing the existing flames to float in the air as fireballs, which you can then control.

It only consumes a little magic power when planting the mark, and can consume surrounding magic power to maintain control while the flame is burning.

"After being distorted by the Witch's Spring, spells can choose to consume either mana or the surrounding mana?"

Lou Le muttered to himself, but a surge of joy welled up inside him.

"Power! I hold power in my hands!"

She touched her stomach; "With this power belonging to a mage, making money and filling my stomach should become much easier."
