Chapter 157: Product Name

Jess thought to himself, are you acting like in Harry Potter? Phoenix feather? In World of Warcraft, where is there a phoenix that can have its feathers plucked?

"Do you have phoenix feather pens?"

"Yes, phoenix feather." The gnome repeated. "Very unique and very expensive. Do you want to take a look?"

"I really want to see it." Jess nodded and said.

The gnome waved his wand. Without even looking back at the cabinets behind, a small wooden box flew in front of him with a whoosh.

This is getting more and more like Harry Potter. Jess couldn't help but steal a glance outside. Making sure that the floor tiles outside are still red and the walls are still milky white. Otherwise, he would think that he had traveled to Diagon Alley again.

The gnome lifted the wooden box with a contemptuous smile on his face. Jess increasingly felt that his initial two pretentious remarks were sarcastic about the Wizard's Sanctum.

Today he had to see what this so-called phoenix feather was.

"Forty-five silver coins each, sir. Although this quill pen is expensive, it can be used all the time. As long as you don't deliberately want to destroy it, it's very difficult to break."

Jess didn't care about the price at all. Anyway, he didn't plan to buy it.

Although this price is indeed astonishing. A turkey quill pen in Stormwind is at most a few copper coins. Of course, it will be useless after at most two weeks. If this pen can be used all the time, it's really hard to say whether it's expensive or not.

When this quill pen appeared in front of him, he immediately determined that this was definitely not the feather of a phoenix. Of course, he knew without opening it that it wasn't.

The phoenix is one of the most powerful elemental creatures in the Fire Elemental Plane. Each feather is even hotter than the flame of ordinary charcoal. If there was a phoenix feather here, this broken box would definitely catch fire, and those cabinets behind would not be spared either, let alone the papers and pens all over the store.

But this feather is really very beautiful and very long.

Purple and red alternate, and there is a golden eye pattern at the top. It's like a small peacock tail feather. And Jess can feel a little bit of residual magic on it.

Given its size, if you insist that this is the feather of the legendary phoenix, many people will surely believe it.

Jess stared at the gnome. The gnome still had a proud look on his face.

"Where did your phoenix come from?"

"I knew you didn't know anything." The gnome said. "Kael'thas Sunstrider, one of the members of the Kirin Tor's Council of Six and the prince of Quel'Thalas, is accompanied by a real phoenix. Haven't you seen the flag of the quel'dorei?"

"That's also a fire phoenix. This feather is obviously not golden." Jess said.

"That flag is symbolic. In fact, the phoenix feather is like this!" The gnome emphasized. Jess laughed and said, "Come on, admit it honestly. Otherwise, I'll go to the elves and accuse you of selling fakes here in the name of Prince Kael'thas! Phoenix is an elemental creature. Can you pluck a feather from an elemental creature?"

"Elemental creature..." The gnome muttered this word and leaned back on the chair. He said, "The little brat from the Wizard's Sanctum knows a lot, huh?"

He glanced outside and whispered, "All right. You can understand it as a product name."

"Product name..." Jess looked at him sideways and said, "Just now you were so confident about the phoenix of the quel'dorei and Kael'thas Sunstrider. How come it's now a product name?"

"Are you looking for trouble? Are you insisting on it?" The gnome tapped on the table and said, "Okay. If you say this is not phoenix feather, then tell me what kind of feather this is. If you can guess the owner of this feather, I will directly give you this thing."

"Are you serious?"

"Without forty or so silver coins, I won't be unable to run the store. Kid, today I just don't believe it." The gnome muttered. "It's simply coming here to cause trouble!"

Jess just wanted to reach out and touch that feather. Immediately, the gnome slapped his hand with his wand.

"Don't touch it! If you don't have that ability, just leave by yourself. Don't damage my things! I'll give you one chance. Guess."

Jess withdrew his hand and glanced at that feather.

This feather is quite different from ordinary bird feathers. First of all, with this length of several tens of centimeters, it eliminates quite a number of medium and small-sized birds.

And looking closely, rather than saying it's a feather, it's more like the hair on the top of a moth. This is the most unusual place. Its barbs are far less dense than those of ordinary bird feathers.

What makes it more like a moth is that although it's so long, more than half of it is very soft. Only the top part that looks extremely hard like a bone-like hard tube can be held to write. The large part behind that can't stand up seems like a decoration on the back of the hand when writing.

Jess felt that using this pen to write might have more of a show-off effect than practicality. Because if you write a long article, it's very difficult to avoid the soft part behind from getting dipped in undried words.

It might be very imposing for royalty and generals to sign their names.

This eliminates the possibility of birds or bird-like creatures like harpies. Maybe it's a beast like a griffin or a wind serpent, and it should not be the part responsible for flying.

Could it be a hippogryph?

For hippogryphs, the color is wrong. Hippogryphs are either blue or purple. Occasionally there are gray and white ones. There is no single feather with such complex colors.

Plus what the gnome said just now that this pen can be used all the time... What kind of animal needs such a long, soft, and never-breaking feather?

And just now the gnome's rapid recitation basically included all the feathered animals that Jess could imagine in the Eastern Kingdoms. Even moonkin are included.

Guessing this thing is indeed more difficult than expected.

Seeing Jess deep in thought, the gnome sneered and said, "Stop pretending. If you can't afford it, leave quickly and don't delay my business."

Does a chimera have feathers? Jess has almost forgotten whether the chimeras living in Kalimdor have feathers.

But even if they do, there should be no feathers so bright. Chimeras either live on snow-capped mountains and are ice wind chimeras with blue and white colors; or live on Stonetalon Mountains and are about the same color as wild boars. And most of them are covered with fluff.

At this moment, Jess has almost thought of all the flying animals and feathered non-flying animals on Azeroth. He has even considered dragons.

Wait a minute... Dragons?

Jess thought of a usually very inconspicuous creature. But the game operator once released a transmogrification outfit based on its image. And there are two limp feathers inserted on the hat of that outfit!

And this little monster is super like a moth!

"The antennae of a faerie dragon." Jess blurted out.

"Get out!"

The gnome cursed loudly and waved his wand. The box slammed shut and crashed into the cabinet with a bang, making the entire shelf shake and jingle for a while.

"Did someone hire you to specifically cheat me, huh?!"

Jess couldn't help laughing when he saw his appearance. He walked to the door and said, "Wait for the royal guards of Sunstrider to knock on your store door."

"Hey! Wait."

Just as he stepped over the threshold, the gnome behind him called out to him. As Jess turned around, the box just now flew into his hand.

"Take it and get out quickly! Don't come to my place again!"
