In the secret shop here, Xia Duo was already waiting while looking boredly at the various products in the store, from potions and scrolls to wands and rare objects. If it weren't for the shelves, counters, and doorways that were always flashing, With the magic aura, Xia Duo had the idea of robbing someone and then running away.
However, as Xia Duo walked back and forth in the store, the steward's eyes were always staring at him, making him a little uncomfortable.
Just when he was getting impatient and was about to ask when the mage in charge of the transaction would arrive, there was a burst of chaotic words outside the door.
"Captain, after you finish drinking, do you want to go to Lehelehe?"
"Then it's up to you. Didn't the captain fall in love with that 'Black Mountain Leopard' early on? He never came to give her gold coins!"
"Ahem - just a few words. Mage, hurry in and replenish the scrolls. We'll wait for you outside." Standing there, an adventurer dressed as
The "Mage" walked in from the door. Xia Duo turned around and met his gaze.
"It's you?"
"Master Mage!" The two of them spoke almost at the same time, but compared to Xia Duo's calmness, the adventurer
The "Mage" was less calm. The person in front of him was wearing the exclusive mage robe of the Tower of Time. He was obviously the official mage of the Tower of Time, and he
"Mage" is just a polite word from his companions. The other party knew him, but he had no impression of him at all. He had to consider whether he had offended the other party unintentionally, so he asked tentatively,
"Sir, do you know me?"
"We know him, how could he not know him?" Xia Duo almost gritted his teeth, thinking that it was this guy who asked for 5 gold coins for a [Light Technique].
Those were the only five gold coins he had with him. Although Xia Duo successfully passed his apprenticeship, you must know that at that time, he had to be careful about even a piece of parchment.
If he has these 5 gold coins, his room for expansion will be much larger, so seeing this person again will cause him to lose 5 gold coins.
"The culprit", it's no wonder Xia Duo has such a good face!
"Remember the 5 gold coins at Midsummer's Day last year?" 5 gold coins? The mage apprentice dressed as an adventurer showed a confused expression at first, but then he thought of something and couldn't help but open his mouth and said in surprise: "Are you the commoner at that time? No, you are the one at that time?"
"snort!"
"Sir -" Hoyle was a little at a loss. He had completely remembered the situation during the curtain. It was a good practice to cast spells and collect money, but it was wrong for the weak civilians at that time to become the official mage now.
Since it's wrong, then - Hoyle took out the money bag and handed it to Sha Duo with both hands.
"I didn't mean to offend you last time, please forgive me!" As long as he was not attacked immediately, Naming still had room for words. Hoyle's reaction was not unpleasant, and Xia Duo was also a little stunned. Originally, he was just I wanted to say something verbally, but there was no reason to refuse the gold coins delivered to my door.
If he didn't accept it, it would make the other party feel uneasy. Xia Duo took the money bag and weighed it with a mixed voice. When he opened it, he saw that there were almost 10 gold coins and some scattered silver coins.
There are even silver coins! Xia Duo couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know how long it had been since he had touched silver coins. Looking at the slightly nervous expression on the other party's face, Xia Duo counted out 5 gold coins and put them away.
"Today I will also cast a spell on you. These 5 gold coins will be my handiwork."
"Yes, yes!" Hoyle agreed hastily. Without any consideration, Xia Duo cast a ball of light on the money bag, and then returned the money bag. He really didn't like the money, and getting back 5 gold coins could be regarded as ending his previous obsession.
As for the so-called cost of casting spells, Xia Duo has always scoffed. If he can really make money by casting spells, then who will pay for the spells he consumes in experiments and exercises?
It's just a reason for the strong to exploit the weak. Xia Duo knew that even if he was just a mage apprentice, he shouldn't have only this little money. However, it was not about who was right or wrong, but it was still a matter of strength and identity.
If he were still an ordinary person now, the other party would definitely not have such an attitude. But now that he has changed his identity, he has the qualifications to be tolerant. Otherwise, as long as the other party says a word, he will have to pay obediently.
But this matter ended here, Xia Duo waved his hand,
"Go about your business." After that, Xia Duo turned around. After hearing this, Hoyle was relieved and nodded repeatedly,
"Yes, yes!" After that, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming to the store, turned around and went out and left. ...When the steward in the store saw Xia Duo driving away the customers, he hesitated to speak, but why did Xia Duo let him speak first? Instead, he asked first,
"Why hasn't your mage arrived yet?"
“This, this—
"The manager is a little nervous.
"Mr. Master is usually very busy with work, but it's almost over. Please wait for a while." After dismissing the steward, Xia Duo was also muttering in his heart, why hasn't he come yet?
It was because of busy work, Xia Duo didn't believe it. Compared with himself, a really busy mage should be in the mage tower.
How busy can the mages outside be? Xia Duo has never dealt with outside mages, but he has been to the local mages' union. He looks so lazy. If there is no bonus of being a mage, he can be a bunch of idlers.
Even though it's a seller's market now, Xia Duo has set a time limit for himself. He can't wait indefinitely, and after waiting for so long, he will definitely have to bargain for a price!
As if he heard Xia Duo's thoughts and knew that he would leave if there were no customers, a well-dressed, middle-aged mage with shiny hair came to the secret shop within the limits of Xia Duo's psychology.
"Guest, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!" The mage greeted him as soon as he arrived, with a very kind attitude.
"..." Xia Duo was originally ready to complain a few words, but when he saw Lai Rao's appearance, he swallowed his complaints again, not to mention how uncomfortable he was.
This person turned out to be the staff member of the Mage Union who certified Xia Duo's spellcasting level before. He should be a mid-level mage!
"The Mage Guild also sells learning scrolls part-time?"
"Uh-" The middle-aged mage was a little surprised, but he quickly covered it up.
"Although I am a member of the Mage Guild, I am also a special consultant of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce! What do you call the guest?"
"Just call me Shado."
"Master Xia Duo, I wonder which spell learning scroll you want to buy?" This middle-aged mage seems to have forgotten that Xia Duo just completed the spell casting level certification with him not long ago, but Xia Duo did not advance this matter, directly Ask: "What ones are there?"
"[Light Technique], [Messaging Technique], [Secret Mark], etc. are all available!"
"..." What about fooling the children? Is this all I want to buy from you? Coupled with the previous waiting, Xia Duo's unhappy expression was no longer concealed.
"Are there any 1st or 2nd ring ones?"
"Yes, of course! Even if it's a level 3 spell, Griffith will be happy here." Griffith showed a sly smile.
"I wonder what spells the guest needs?" Xia Duo took a deep breath, knowing that Jin probably wouldn't be able to beat the price. He would definitely be killed, but if the price was too outrageous, he would also have a leg up!
"I need to [summon a mount]."
"..." This time it was Griffith's turn to be depressed, and he asked somewhat exaggeratedly,
"That's it? No more?"
