Chapter 430: My Price Is Very High

Matthew tried to mimic her.
In the end, he was quickly dragged far away by the claws.
Along the way, he almost bumped into a few other bricks!
However, after a few attempts.
Matthew was familiar with the function of this device.
The two of them quickly approached the Crystal Palace.
Along the way.
Margaret introduced,
” This is the ‘Magic Hook Claw’. This device was personally made by Ms. Soria. Its inspiration comes from an unpopular elite profession in the Eastern Continent, the swordsman.
“It was said that the standard secondary weapon of this class was a similar hook claw. They used it to fly over roofs and walls, cross complex terrain, quickly approach the enemy, or pull the enemy from a distance to their front.
“I really like the feeling of using the Magic Hook.
“Unfortunately, it could only be used freely in the sky of the Crystal Palace.
“It has been banned by the Alliance.”
Matthew asked curiously,
” This weapon is so useful. Why didn’t they make it widespread? Why did they ban it?”
Margaret shrugged.
“Who knows?
“It was said that some of the higher-ups in the Alliance felt that this weapon was too threatening to ordinary mages. If it was obtained by other professionals, it was very likely that it would pose an unprecedented threat to mages of the same level.
“In order to nip this possibility in the bud, they had banned countless new weapons.
“But then again, the raw material of the Magic Hook was the Astral Anemone, which was very expensive, causing the production cost of the Magic Hook to remain high.
“Even without the weapons ban, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to promote it. “If you like this weapon too, you should play with it a few more times now.”
As she spoke, she deliberately avoided the crystal palace in the centre and flew around.
Matthew didn’t say anything and just followed Margaret silently.
The Magic Hook was indeed very fun, and it could also affect the current combat mode between mages.
However, Matthew didn’t think it was to the point of listing it as a prohibited weapon.
Once Magic Hook Claws flooded the area, the mages would definitely develop defensive Hook Claws or targeted defensive spells. They just had to be careful.
A mage’s strength lay in their wisdom, not a specific weapon.
Ten minutes later.
Margaret finally had enough fun.
She brought Matthew to the ground outside the Crystal Palace. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Matthew felt the existence of gravity again.
He quickly approached the palace.
Not long after.
Matthew noticed something unusual.
This palace had no door!
In the places where there should be doors.
Matthew only found neat cracks.
He could indeed see the interior of the castle through the crack.
However, the crack was too narrow.
Perhaps only ants could barely crawl over.
‘ Move sideways against the wall, aim at the crack, stand straight, and don’t resist. ”
Margaret took out her staff and pointed it at Matthew.
[Hint: Your companion Margaret has used the spell ” Seize the Opportunity ” on you.]
[Your body width has been reduced to 1 cm!]
At that moment.
Matthew seemed to have turned into a paper man.
He felt that he had no one to rely on. All parts of his body were moving forward and backwards like waves.
Fortunately, he listened to Margaret’s instructions and pressed his body against the wall.
The spell had just taken effect.
His shoulder and a part of his head were inserted into the crack.
“So that’s how you came in.”
Matthew was amazed by this unprecedented experience.
He transformed into a paper man and squirmed in the crack for a while before successfully passing through the thick city wall and arriving at the palace that was filled with crystals.
All the decorations in the palace were magnificent and beautiful.
The decoration style and items were extremely luxurious.
The magnificence of this place dazzled Matthew.
After entering the palace.
The two of them returned to normal.
They walked into the castle and met many cute kittens along the way.
Some of the cats were flipping their bellies, some were sleeping, and some were standing on high ground, silently observing the outsiders.
They passed through two side halls.
Matthew came to a long corridor with warm colours.
At this moment.
A fat brown cat jumped down from the railing.
“Is this Mr. Matthew?” Fat Cat asked seriously. “It’s me.”
Matthew replied.
” Come with me. Ms. Soria is waiting for you in reception room number three.”
Fat Cat said.
Margaret exclaimed,
“The third reception room… It seems that Teacher values you very much. Only future big clients or mages that she thinks have great potential are qualified to meet her in the third reception room.
“Good luck, Matthew.”
Fat Cat turned around and looked at her.
“Miss Margaret, speaking of which, you should be paying this month’s interest, right? You’ve already been in arrears for three months. If this continues, it’ll be very difficult for me.”
Margaret said miserably,
“Don’t be like this, Ah Ji. If you force me again, I’ll have to sell myself.”
Ah Ji said impolitely,
“You’ve been saying this since last year, but you haven’t paid much interest yet. Does this mean that your body size doesn’t meet the aesthetic standards of most humans?”
Margaret said angrily,
“What nonsense are you talking about? I just don’t have the sincerity to sell myself. ”
Ah Ji said coldly,
“See, I knew you didn’t plan on paying back the money at all. I’ll report this to Ms. Soria..”
