Chapter 117: Basic Politeness

Digging for clues and getting to the bottom of things is an important means for Mogan to obtain information.

Obtaining an amazonian wand from His Majesty the King of Lestus allowed Morgan to find room to use this trait.

In fact, the wand is still an odd-shaped stick made of corresponding materials. The wand craftsmen who charge a fee can only cut out the shape that best utilizes the properties of the material and add some small magic circles to promote the activation.

But in the final analysis, the difference between a Tianhe wood scepter and a Tianhe wood wand is actually only the size. They are excellent tools for making appearances and can be used just for fun.

The materials were all available, so Mo Gan also conducted experiments.

He did some small repetitive experiments according to the widely circulated method of using Tianhe wood, and indeed came to the conclusion that it can point to a certain direction.

As for why it was so easy to find the real reason and achieve the purpose of leading the Duke to Robbie's shop, it was also because of a very unexpected factor.

After confirming that there were not too many unexpected factors in his perfect plan, Mo Gan took a few steps back, looked at the roof and raised his hand, and the blue crystal flew out from the crack above.

The substance condensed by the powerful wizard's elemental magic spontaneously forms a solid state without a physical object as a carrier. It exudes a strong elemental atmosphere anytime and anywhere, and naturally has the most unstable magic fluctuations.

In fact, Mo Gan originally planned to follow the directions and find where the Tianhe Wood's guiding end point was, but during the experiment, he kept finding that this thing was pointing towards him.

He originally thought that this kind of thing might be pointing out the location of the mage. He was wondering if the answer was so simple, how could anyone fail to figure it out, and then he remembered the "teaching aid" he carried with him.

Of course this is the case.

Morgan's original plan was to meet Duke Albert at the gate of the town, but now that he has the opportunity to communicate more smoothly, he will not let go of one more step of calculation and let others' actions naturally fall into his trap.

feasibility.

Then it's show time.

Duke Albert glanced at Robbie, who stood up directly, with a sullen look on his face, "What's your tone?"

The Duke's focus is indeed different from ordinary people.

"I am the store manager here, please remember it clearly now!" Robbie said in a strong tone and emphasized again, "If you want to buy something, you need to find it and pay directly instead of pretending that the store manager does not exist.

Walk in, you ask, and others answer and have opinions!"

"you……"

Albert wanted to say something more, but he ran out of words when he reached his mouth. Abdia just pretended to interrupt him and looked at Robbie:

"Mr. Store Manager, please forgive me for offending, but do you know who we are?"

Her words seemed to be bluffing to satisfy Duke Albert's need to prove his noble status, but her tone was extremely gentle, and she spoke with honorifics based on her own position, making people unable to get angry.

Both parties took good care of him, and Abdia seemed to be a serious person with no ill intentions. Not to mention Albert and Robbie, who had nothing to say and was stuck thinking.

"Who are you to have anything to do with me?"

Although the content is not good, his tone has slowed down a little, his attitude has become more serious, and he finally looks less like a gangster.

"This is Duke Albert Taranik." Abdia said seriously, "We are here just to find a place. If you don't mind, we can ask for a little help."

"Ask for directions?" Robbie was obviously very sensitive and familiar with this sentence pattern, but he had a little more confidence, "Why... ahem, it's not like I can't sell anything. I can only rest here after putting out the goods.

Fools who don’t do anything.”

Seeing that he accepted it quite well, and although he made some incomprehensible complaints, it didn't seem like he wanted to persist in the confrontation. Abdia was confident of easing the conflict and finally brought it to the point.

She turned her head and glanced at the Tianhe wooden scepter in Duke Albert's hand.

But just by scanning, the goal is actually not that clear and can be interpreted in many ways.

"It was the Duke's magic props that guided us to your store. The result of finding your store may not be so accurate, but if you have other clues..."

It happened that at this time, the Duke's reflex arc turned around.

finally.

But it's not the right time.

"What special thing are you hiding? Take it out and show it to me immediately. Why does Tianhe Mu point here?"

The Duke's sudden direct question frightened the spectators. Even Abdia, who had a chance of winning and felt that he could solve the problem next, was stunned.

"Is this the log?"

Robbie said casually.

Looking at the Duke who was extremely excited for some reason, he saw him clenching the scepter in his hand with a stern look in his eyes. Based on Abdia's words and gaze, he also knew what the so-called magic props were.

It's reasonable for a normal person to express emotion. He's not even being sarcastic now, he's just curious.

But it happened that such a simple sentence touched the Duke's nerves.

"Despicable poor boy, are you questioning my authority? How dare you say such nonsense! Let me tell you, this is something you will never be able to afford in your life."

He had calmed down a bit just now, but now Robbie was suddenly furious, feeling that even if he was really high and powerful, it was inexplicable.

As for Robbie, who comes from a wealthy family, it is naturally impossible for anyone to say such things to him, and he has no experience of being judged as a "poor boy".

But since we just heard that the other party is a duke, it is said that he has a noble status, is dressed in a special way and is willing to do things for others, as evidence that the humanoid is self-propelled, the appropriate approach is very clear.

Robbie was not completely indifferent, nor did he try to swallow his anger at all.

"I don't care whether you are wooden or not. Let me tell you what you want to ask - but don't make it like fighting a war, wearing something that is not worth money all the time. Although it is just a little effort, I am not so kind as to be detained.

Hat, while nodding and bowing."

Morgan, who was watching from a distance, was quite surprised. Could it be that after going through some things and discovering that sometimes misunderstandings need to be resolved, Robbie might also have learned to control his temper?

"Don't you just want more remuneration?" Duke Albert actually thought he understood, "I've seen a lot of unscrupulous people like you, don't think about raising prices on the ground,"

"Who are you talking to about money!?"

Faced with such a chicken-and-duck situation, Robbie finally couldn't help it. When the conflict progressed to a certain level, it only broke out in an instant.

"What did I just want to say? Being a duke requires no brains, right? If you don't beat around the bush and curse people, you will die. Your uncles, brothers, sisters, aunts, have never taught you what it means to respect people?"

Holding back for a few seconds is progress.

But to be honest, if he hadn't known that although the Duke had a prominent family and a hereditary title, he was no different from an ordinary nouveau riche or even had an even more bizarre past, Mogan himself would probably have doubts about the Duke's personal qualities.

After all, even if I had received a day of serious education as a child, or had a reliable adult to teach me, I would not have reached this point.

Sometimes the foundation cannot be changed the day after tomorrow.

People who lack something tend to pay more attention to it and try their best to prove that they have got rid of it. Albert is an example of this.

But without the blessing of such a favorable time, place and people, Duke Albert would not have become the perfect target for him, and nothing like what is happening now would have happened.

"I should have believed it in the first place..."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Abdia's face, but he quickly calmed down.

Duke Albert was once again blocked by Robbie, and naturally he was not to be outdone.

Even if he only has rich experience in insulting people, his high position means that no one dares to directly provoke him, and his vocabulary is not enough to support a confrontation with Robbie.

So he called for foreign aid.

"Abediya, go and explain it to him clearly." Albert spoke in a deep voice, and confidently, "Tell him whose fault it is, let him admit his mistake, and apologize to me quickly, otherwise there will be many opportunities for him to plead guilty and be punished.

.”

It's not just exaggerated words, but this time there are restrictions added, leaving no room for free expression.

Even if Abdia wanted to take advantage of the order, he could not follow up on what he had said before.

Robbie only felt that his temples were bulging and his scalp was numb. This behavior was incredible, and this Duke Albert was really capable.

For this kind of issue that involves personal qualities, it's okay to ask someone to replace the theory, but to choose such a quiet woman to do everything from speaking to doing things - this is Robbie's current impression.

Neil wandered around quietly for a moment, and finally found an opportunity to show off next to him.

In other words, it is an object that can be used as a support to restrict the Duke's free play and mischief.

He relied on his accumulated favorability to pull aside Duke Albert, who was waiting for Abdia to avenge himself.

In order to keep the Duke focused and to preserve the steps for him to go down, Robbie whispered a reminder at a volume that would not affect the other side, and stretched out his hand, pointing quietly at the wall.

"Your Highness, there is something here that you may want to take a look at. I just happened to find this thing when I was looking for it. The identity of the owner of the small shop may be unusual."

Duke Albert took a closer look and saw that the wallpaper on the wall was plain, with only a piece of letter paper scrawled on it, and even a corner was missing.

Text is not a common language for normal communication, but a universal language for mages...

Albert already had some experience in the study of magic, so naturally he was not ignorant of the languages ​​commonly used in magic.

At first, he only noticed that one of the names had a surname: "Everist" and "Reynolds."

Albert immediately frowned.

After reading the content in detail, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"You mean, there are people here that Everest wants to take as his disciples...?"

This effect of directly restraining the arrogance was somewhat beyond Neil's expectation.

Originally, he thought that although it would be effective, it might not be so thorough. He planned to explain the pros and cons and say a few more words.

Perhaps Robbie's appearance as a mage was too popular, so Albert raised his head again and asked.

"Who is Reynolds?"

While Albert was not paying attention, Robbie had a few words with Abdia who had seized the opportunity, and he almost understood the wisdom of "not arguing with fools" that she hinted in her words.

As a result, this sentence brought me back to the original point. I turned around and looked over. I was so angry that I couldn't help but introduce myself.

"What a coincidence. It's me - Robbie Reynolds, so what?"

Unexpectedly, Albert did not take the lead in exploding like a puffer fish, but instead looked at him deeply, with a rather ferocious expression.

"If you sincerely admit your mistake, I can pretend that what happened before has never happened, but you must tell me, where is the Forgotten Valley?"

He has now even directly turned the legend spoken by Neil into reality.

Robbie took a deep breath and immediately gathered all his strength to deliver.

"The Tianhe wood has special properties and is a priceless treasure. Unfortunately, it lacks directivity. It can lead to powerful locations in the ground, and it can also lead to materials with abundant magical power."

Mo Gan walked in at some point, lined up the guards at the door as a matter of course, and entered the store like an ordinary customer.

But it's different from others.

Anyone who dares to speak in such an embarrassing situation and attracts all kinds of attention from those with high or low power status is something everyone knows is not ordinary.

"Sorry to interrupt. But I happen to have been thinking about these things and have something to do. I can't help hearing the Forgotten Valley here."

Mo Gan nodded apologetically, as if he had arrived by chance and what he said was true.
