Sword God in a World of Magic

After a short moment, the markings on the ground darkened again, and the stones had vanished.

A new marking appeared on the ground, and Shang realized that it was the writing of this world. Just like before, Shang had no issues in reading it.

'1,853.547kg,' Shang read with surprise. 'It's a scale?'

Shang looked with surprise at the markings on the ground. 'This elaborate thing is nothing but an industrial-sized scale?'

'Just use counterweights or something. You don't need a huge Magic Array just to weigh something!' Shang thought.

However, he didn't speak his mind.

Maybe they had a good reason for doing it this way.

Shang had already expected that this world wasn't as technologically advanced as Earth, but he refused to believe that this world didn't even know how to make a basic scale. Even the ancient Greeks had scales!

This meant that they had to have a different reason to use a Magic Array.

"That's quite a lot of Ice Wood," the woman said as she wrote down the number on a piece of paper.

"By the way," Shang interjected. "How do you know so much about Space Rings? What you told me didn't sound like common knowledge."

She was a bit surprised when Shang asked this question. "I want to learn how to create an elemental shell inside a Sparren. I have a Wind Affinity, and Space Rings with a wind shell are rarely needed. After all, you can basically only store wind-related stuff in a Space Ring with a wind shell based on the wind's lack of stability."

"However, because these kinds of Space Rings are so rarely needed, they go for a lot of money. There are also not many Wind Mages that bother to learn about that skill due to the lack of demand."

"But that just means that the few that know how to do it are in high demand due to their rarity. It's risky to invest so much money into learning this skill, but if it pays off, I don't have to worry about the resources I would need to become a High Mage," she explained.

Shang nodded. "That makes sense," he said.

She nodded again and took out a white crystal from her Space Ring. "Hello sir, this is Cindy," she spoke politely to the crystal. "We have just received a delivery of Ice Wood. Could you spare some time to evaluate its purity?"

Shang had already guessed that this white crystal was a Communication Crystal. The officer in the barracks had told him how they had contacted the Central Wild.

Shang heard an annoyed groan come from the crystal. "Fine. I'll come," a male voice came out of the crystal.

"Thank you very much," Cindy said.

Then, she put the Communication Crystal away again.

After that, the two of them simply waited for a couple of seconds.
