The blood is still warm - the demon rift expulsion battle Chapter 4 I don't gamble, just watch.
Sofia looked at Alexander with a "how about going in" look.
Alexander said "Uh" and walked in and said apologetically: "Sorry to bother you. We heard from others that this place is very well-informed, and we were thinking about whether it was possible to recruit lone adventurers here to join the team, so we came over to take a look.
Look, it was a bit rude to stare at the door just now."
The two clerks were still handling some ordinary requests for customers. "If you plan to recruit adventurers, shouldn't you go to the mercenary industry or post recruitment information in the tavern." Shirley climbed from behind the counter to the counter quickly.
He jumped down, then walked straight to Sophia and stared into her eyes: "What a unique magician."
"Eh? Unique? Excuse me, what aspect are you talking about?" Sophia looked confused. It's hard to be scared by Shirley's appearance. And she thought she was still a fledgling mage, so she didn't know what this person looked like.
What is the mage senior Ms. Shirley referring to?
"You also have the ability to block my prophecy spells. You are outsiders, right." Shirley looked at Alexander again.
"Um..." Alexander scratched his head. "We have just arrived in this country not long ago."
"Little girl, you have a special magic book, right? The spells recorded in it are not introduced in the general spells of the Mage Academy."
"Well, yes." Sophia did have such a book, which recorded various strange magic experimental data. Because this book recorded several spells, Sophia made a spell book to use.
"You may not know that the magic book is a great heritage and unique. But if we want to talk in detail, this is not the right place. Do you want to come to my place for a cup of tea and some pastries?" Shirley smiled, big and small.
The eyes are full of cunning.
"Well..." Alexander felt a little suspicious again. But it seemed to be related to Sophia's future, so she turned to look at the girl with questioning eyes.
"No matter where you are from, I can confirm that you have experience fighting against evil people, so you are qualified to accept my hospitality." Perhaps fearing that the two of them would shrink back, Shirley took a step back and added.
[Evil man, can this be confirmed?] Sofia was surprised at the words of the lady in front of her. She thought about it and said, "I'll trouble you." Although Alexander was confused, he nodded in agreement. The knight had nothing to be surprised about.
, it’s just that they don’t understand the magic of detecting the camp.
After getting the answers from the two men, Ms. Shirley turned and walked towards the inner room of the office. The two followed, only to see an ordinary room behind the door, but Shirley had no idea where she was.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them discovered at the door of the room that there were perceptible but invisible spatial stripes left in the air. This was a phenomenon caused by turning on the space equipment. Anyone who has experienced using space equipment can understand this.
Alexander quickly followed into the space stripe to avoid losing him. [Where is this place? Why does it still have space magic?]
[The mages here are so powerful.] Sophia knew that this was a teleportation-type permanent magic circle. She followed Alexander in and sighed in her mind that there were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this town.
After the two passed through the area where the space stripes were located, they felt a slight dizziness. When they opened their eyes, they arrived at a candy house with a main color of reddish brown and colorful decorations. Various decorations were placed or hung on them.
small toy.
Shirley sat on a red high-back chair, holding a glass and drinking dark green tea inside. In front of her was a small pink table and two other high-back chairs, and the two high-back chairs corresponded to each other.
There was also steaming tea at the table, and on the small table there were two plates of donuts dipped in white frosting and biscuits dipped in an unknown brown liquid, about the thickness of a thumb and the length of a fork.
"Candy house." Sophia's surprised voice had a hint of joy.
Alexander didn't show any pretense, and found a seat to sit down and pick up the tea cup. "I didn't expect there was such a place in this town."
[It must be fun to live here.] Sofia thought, sitting in the remaining seat.
"This is my tower. It's far away from Gutable Town." Shirley replied. Alexander didn't know what to say, so he could only take a sip of tea first.
Hearing Ms. Shirley's words, Sophia looked at her in surprise, which proved that she was as powerful as the archmages in the tower area. The windows of this candy house were made of translucent glass, so they could not be seen.
External scene. And since it has a mage tower, it must have strong financial resources.
Having her own mage tower was something Sofia couldn't even imagine.
Shirley put down the teacup with both hands, then picked up a donut with her left hand and took a bite. Alexander imitated her and took a donut and ate it, deciding not to speak for the time being. After eating, she felt that the donut itself
The taste is already very good, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a milky aroma and a slight sweetness. The icing part is also made of soft white sugar - this top-notch white sugar may not even be eaten by nobles.
.
Sophia also picked up the tea and took a small sip, and then said with some respect in her voice: "Ms. Shirley, do you know the information about my magic book?"
"In this town, besides you and including me, there are a total of three books, and I have only seen a total of six books in my one hundred and thirty years." Shirley stretched out her right hand, and a colorful mantra belt appeared, a
A large dark brown thick-covered book appeared in her hands. When she heard her age, Alexander almost choked on her tea, but held back a cough.
Sofia was first surprised at the number of magic books that Ms. Shirley said she had encountered in a long time, and even more surprised that this small town only contained three. However, she was used to the magic books she held.
"The six books I mentioned don't include this one." Then Shirley took the book back again, this time without the spell belt. Sophia could understand the magic words on the cover of the book, and the meaning on it
I guess that's the title of the book - "Snow Elves and the Ice of Latitude".
"What does holding these magic books mean?" Sophia thought about the rarity of magic books and the reason why Ms. Shirley talked about these magic books with herself.
"This means that you have received the inheritance, and the successor will have a certain destiny and attraction after accepting the inheritance, and is destined to embark on an extraordinary path." Alexander listened to Ms. Shirley's words with a vague understanding, and decided to make his own decision.
Eat your own.
"The direction of my specialization is not plasticity but prophecy, but I failed to avoid my fateful enemy. In order to destroy it, I paid a heavy price. For example, this will make my body continue to grow younger until it returns to a child or even
The curse of the infant state. I hope the good seedlings will not go astray, that’s what I’m thinking now.”
"Destiny..." Sophia looked at the young-looking Shirley and vaguely saw her mother-in-law. She remembered the fate mentioned in the letter left by her mother-in-law.
"Curse?" Alexander swallowed the donut and wiped his mouth and said, "You know prophecy magic? Wouldn't it be great to find someone to help find a way to remove the curse?"
"Probably only God can relieve it." Shirley explained calmly, as if she had made a lot of efforts but to no avail, and was finally relieved.
"Well, why don't you try asking the church for help? Maybe there will be a way?" Alexander believed that with the size of the Church of the Holy God of Glory, the so-called curse could be lifted.
Shirley picked up a biscuit and chewed it, shaking her head without intending to speak... She must have sought purification from the church. Alexander did not dare to ask any more questions, so he continued to finish the sweets in his hand.
lock up.
"Excuse me, after receiving the inheritance, what is the wrong path you mentioned?" Sophia asked after thinking about it.
"Destiny is too mysterious. If I reveal it casually, it will only bring bad variables. But since you can find it here, it proves that we are destined. I can give you some pointers on spell casting, or you can ask me a question." Shirley.
His eyes rolled in circles, and he continued to hold the tea and waited for their answers.
"Well...I understand." Sophia nodded.
Alexander swallowed the last bite of the dessert, took a deep breath and then said: "We are indeed looking for someone. We are currently chasing a defected bishop named Ronan from the Church of the Holy God of Glory. It is said that he fled into the Forest of Desolation. I don't know about you.
Can you help us locate his exact location?"
Shirley drank the tea and said, "Is it just this? It's very simple for me, and I won't interfere with your destiny."
"Um..." Alexander picked up another donut. "Our team is still short of one person to complete the recent mission. It would be better if you could give some advice."
Shirley rolled her eyes, picked up the last donut and said, "I've asked you to do the commissioning. Why would you let a legend do such a simple job? The price is too low."
Sofia smiled awkwardly, and then tasted the biscuit. There was a bitter taste similar to coffee at the tip of the biscuit, but it was very sweet. It was probably a precious dessert with chocolate added.
Alexander looked at the empty plate and the donuts in his hand, and was too embarrassed to put them back, "Well, how about you give some advice to Sophia?"
"Ms. Shirley. In fact, I was once in the library of Lamesa City in the Holy Empire of Canadore, and I was fortunate enough to be able to view the underground library." Sofia opened her mouth at the right time to rescue Alexander.
"Well, it's indeed spectacular." Shirley nodded. Sophia didn't expect Shirley to have been there too. Maybe the great amnesia has little impact on the legend or has no impact at all?
"Inside, I have read some books and records. When I saw the discussion records about inspiring hybrids and the records of Wanlong Valley, as well as a conjecture about magic element, I had a feeling that I didn't know.
Ways to describe the changes very well.”
"There is a kind of..." Sophia thought for a moment before speaking: "It was as if I was urging me to pursue this information, and after that, I felt that there was a feeling of improvement within myself."
Alexander swallowed the last donut and began to stretch out his claws on the cookies.
"Excuse me, what's going on with me?" Sophia lowered her head, picked up the teacup, drank it, and then looked up at Ms. Shirley.
"Then I don't understand. Maybe it has something to do with your magic book. Magic books can indeed produce some wonderful changes. Anyway, I can definitely tell you that the magic theory is wrong from the most basic part. Any magic user in the legendary field
It is confirmed that the source of magic power is not magic element."
"Well, it's almost dinner time. You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll charge for you next time you come." Shirley started to chase them away, and the question was considered finished.
"Thank you for your advice." Sophia stood up and bowed respectfully, out of reach of the tables and chairs.
Seeing this, Alexander quickly ate the biscuits in his hand and stood up, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality."
Shirley stretched, then snapped her fingers, and the two of them saw themselves at the door of the inner room, but the door was closed now. At this time, all the guests in the outer room had left, and there were two left because
The clerk looked over curiously.
"Huh - Alexander, let's go back. Post a job posting on the way." Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.
Alexander nodded and walked towards the mercenary workers. "Since the senior has said so, let's post a recruitment notice."
While walking on the road, Sophia once again felt inner changes. Although the improvement in physical fitness was not obvious, there were indeed small changes.
The two came to the Mercenary Industrial Company again, and the fee for issuing this kind of commission was only a few mel. Although the language was the same, the word writing and usage were slightly different from the Empire. Although they could understand most of the phrases,
But if you write it yourself, there will be some minor problems. It seems that you need to spend more time to observe and learn.
The bulk of the cost is to buy paper and hire someone to write for you. If you hire someone to write for you, it will cost about 20 paise. But you can use the same currency in a foreign country. It can only be said that the relationship between the Alliance and the Empire before the Great Amnesia should have been better.
Be tight.
Alexander touched his chin and thought for a moment, then whispered to Sophia: "Let's ask someone to write it for us. After all, we are on a secret mission, and it is not good for someone to recognize the handwriting. But maybe we can ask the alchemist who entrusted us to help.
Maybe she won't mind if we write."
"Okay, let's go find someone now." Sophia nodded and agreed with the former.
So Alexander found someone to ghostwrite and dictated: "The Thirteenth B-level Mad Wolf Mercenary Group is looking for new members. The strength requirements are in line with the current rating of the mercenary group. The spoils and commissions will be divided equally. The latest plan is to explore deep into the Desolate Forest. Additional
Commission is negotiable. To register, please come to Room 203 of Silver Tea Cup Hotel tomorrow morning to meet Sophia for an interview.】
Fageni, who bid farewell to the two of them on the other side, came to a splendid casino by paying people to collect money. At this moment, the gamblers were enjoying themselves, while employees other than traders would confirm whether the gamblers were cheating. Fageni was curious.
He walked around and looked at this scene.
Large-scale consumption is prohibited in this casino, which means that the casino cannot make much money. And there are many duels between gamblers, and the winner can take away the loser's chips. The casino only charges basic space
The cost is very good.
Fageni found a spectator who had lost all his chips and asked them what bets they used and how they played. This spectator was also a guy who liked to bring new ideas and immediately introduced various ways of playing. For duels, there were straight cards, draw cards, etc.
Wooden tower, guessing single cards. The banker type includes dice odd and even, betting big and small, and heart cards. There are also some entertainment projects that are purely self-service, such as self-falling balls and spring machines.
After Fageni knew how to play, he decided to go to Faxin Pai and bet on ten paise. He changed it for a hundred colorful paint bone chips. He played a total of four games with two wins and two losses, each of which was about only
Five minutes. In fact, it doesn’t make much sense. Two identical cards are greater than a single card, three identical cards are greater than even two identical cards, and sequence cards are greater than three identical cards.
Fageni looked at the remaining 60 chips. After winning, the opponent's chips and his own chips will be replaced by white chips. He can only exchange half of the money or souvenirs when leaving the field. Of course, he did not expect to win from here.
Money, but you still have to look at the souvenirs. After all, souvenirs are mostly special potions that can play a role in adventures and alchemy props that are useful in life. The best souvenir at the moment costs 5,000 white chips and two
You can exchange it for black chips that you can only get by winning the Supreme Gambit. They are a pair of gloves, both of which are space equipment.
Fageni decided to try the wooden tower. The name sounded like it was a test of hand speed, and he was very fast!
After a wave of competition that was not tense but a bit long, the opponent made a wonderful move. When it was Fageni's turn, the wooden tower collapsed as soon as it touched. The onlookers were amazed. "It's okay, my friend." Fageni said in surprise.
Looking at the collapsed wooden tower, after he got the washed white chips, Fageni proposed to use his last fifty chips to gamble with him again.
"Man, this is what you said." The gambler on the opposite side was also very interested, and then invited an employee to witness. This would make it harder to cheat. Both sides put fifty chips on each side. "It was my queen just now.
Hand, I will take the lead this time." Fageni gestured to him to invite him.
After another wave of competition that was not tense but a little long, the opponent quickly pulled out, causing the wooden tower to tilt unfavorably, but Fageni was not fooled. However, after he finished, the opponent successfully pulled out again. Unfortunately, it had begun to tilt gradually.
When it was Fageni's turn, the wooden tower was already overwhelmed, and once again it collapsed as soon as it touched the tower.
Although he lost, Fageni's back was already sweating a little. This was comparable to a hearty sword fight. "Sure enough, you are the better." Fageni took a breath and finally understood why he was here.
There were so many people. He was willing to lose.
"Then that's it. It's time for me to go home for dinner." The gambler opposite put away his white chips and exchanged them for some liquor exchange coupons that were common in the town.
"Well. It's almost time for me to leave. If we encounter each other next time, maybe we can play again." Fageni left his seat. He decided not to buy chips today, and to watch other people's competition here, at least to compare.
The street scenes are more exciting.
There are only eighty white chips in Fageni's hand, but most of the souvenirs useful for adventures cost several hundred chips. Fageni looked at it for a while and made some guesses about the various rules, but in fact he still has to
Only when you get started can you understand that this gamble is a rare mental duel for Fageni.
Fageni decided to go back to Alexander and the others to see what mission they had taken. After making a circle, he returned to the hotel. This chapter has been completed!
