Reports of Michael's carriage abuse meant that Annan's travel became dangerous——
Annan needs to leave Breeze City and go to a secluded suburb to seek help from the blue dragon——
If Annan wants to solve the security problem, he must seek help from Blue Dragon——
Seeking the help of the blue dragon requires the protection of the mage tower carriage——
"Leave it to me."
Michael said so and left the tavern. Not long after, a Mage Tower carriage stopped at the entrance of the tavern. The white paint was not newly painted, and the Mage Tower emblem was no different from the real thing.
"Is this the Mage Tower Carriage?"
"Borrowed it from other friends of mine." Michael responded to Annan's surprise, "She doesn't mind having another report on her."
Annan gave him a thumbs up: "You are as reliable as Mr. Fast."
"I helped you and you still scolded me?"
Sitting in the carriage, Annan left Breeze City and came to the forest glade where he was last time.
The familiar summoning technique tore a gap in the space, beautiful scales and thick limbs like works of art appeared on the other side, and the echoing dull low roar floated into the forest——
The pale gauze-like ghost floated in front of the crack, seeming to be observing Annan, and danced a few times to wake up the sleeping blue dragon.
The position of the scales changed, and the dull murmur disappeared, turning into a low and rough voice with a hint of laziness: "Humans, you are disturbing the great dormancy of the dragon clan."
"Sorry to bother you, I want to buy some magic items from you."
"I'm a dragon! Not a businessman!"
The grass next to the fissure rippled due to the angry roar that was awakened, and coins rolled down from the mountain of treasure. The ghosts and skeletons hurriedly restored their original appearance, but the bare rocks under the coins were still exposed.
Annan seemed to have gained insight into some kind of truth.
"I'm willing to pay... money to satisfy you."
After a brief silence, the giant dragon eye appeared behind the crack.
"What do you want to buy?"
"Defensive magic item."
The blue dragon used dragon language to instruct the ghosts and skeletons to find several rings and mage robes from the corners of the "rock mountain covered with a layer of treasure".
The skeleton leaned under the blue dragon's feet and moved its jaws. The three ghosts held the wizard's robe and rings. The blue dragon introduced the spells they had burned respectively: the clean wizard's robe was burned with the spell of defense against malicious detection, and the stone
Skin, shield, cleansing; the blood-stained mage robe only has spells to defend against malicious detection.
The three rings are respectively engraved with: Fireball; Summoning of Lower Elements; and Detection.
Blue Dragon priced them according to the greedy nature of the dragons: fifty thousand gold coins, twenty thousand gold coins, and three ten thousand gold coins.
"You give me 10,000 gold coins, and I can buy them all from other places." Annan said helplessly.
The veil ghost approached the blue dragon at this time, and seemed to tell the blue dragon the true price of these magic items, making them close to the selling price in the town.
The good news is that the prices of these magic props are actually 20% lower than those in towns. The bad news is that Annan still can't afford them.
But Annan had too much hope in buying the magic items... He had another deal.
"Your Excellency, the Great Blue Dragon..." Still starting with a familiar sentence, Annan said respectfully: "Have you ever heard of leasing?"
"What is that?"
"A paid lease. For example, if I borrow this mage robe from you, the ownership of the mage robe still belongs to you, and no one can take it away. I only have the right to use it, and I also need to pay you a gold coin every day.
"
The things are mine, and so is the money.
Blue Dragon couldn't think of any shortcomings in this, but he felt that something was wrong - things shouldn't be like this.
"Which one do you want?"
In the end, the Blue Dragon couldn't hold back the lusty and lustful Gilded Mountain.
Annan pointed at the mage's robe inscribed with four magic spells.
"Then...you have to give me fifty thousand gold coins every month."
"That's impossible. I can buy it for 50,000 yuan, so why should I spend 50,000 yuan to rent it for a month?"
"Are you teasing a blue dragon?" The blue dragon's sharp teeth slowly emerged.
"I just hope for sincere cooperation."
As Annan opened the box at his feet, the oil lamp that he had thoughtfully placed in the wooden box in advance made the gold coins shine with a golden light.
Wow – Wow –
Annan grabbed the heavy gold coins and let them slip from his palm: "I thought we were already familiar with each other. It seems that we should give these beautiful golden elves to the ugly businessman..."
"As many as you want!"
"300 gold coins per month, plus a magic ring that can release fireball once a day." Before Blue Dragon spoke, Annan continued: "300 gold coins a month, 3,600 gold coins a year, 36,000 gold coins in ten years... And
Ten years is just a few sleeps for the great dragon clan."
"...Then, it's a deal!"
As if worried that Annan would regret it, Blue Dragon asked the ghost to throw the mage robe and ring to Annan.
After getting the ring, Annan also threw 300 gold coins across the crack.
The sweet sound of the gold coins falling made the blue dragon's vertical pupils no longer sharp and narrowed in intoxication——
"etc……"
The blue dragon's vertical pupils regained their sharpness, and the angry roar shocked the forest.
"Why are there still some gold coins left in the box!"
"Because there is nothing left to buy."
Annan scanned the bottom of the box and found about sixty or seventy pieces... Well, it seems there are a few missing.
It looks like I need to talk to Martin when I get back.
But how could the blue dragon tolerate the gold coins disappearing before his eyes——
"What do you want! Tell me! I'll lend it to you!"
Annan replied sincerely: "I don't need anything anymore..."
The remaining rings are not worth spending any more money on.
But the blue dragon refused to leave Annan. When there was not much time left in the rift, it found an eyeball-shaped chess piece, and then said: "I allow you to touch it...the remaining gold coins are mine!"
"What's this?"
"Artifact."
Annan's expression gradually became solemn. He didn't feel that the blue dragon was deceiving him, so he stretched out his hand and touched the chess piece in the dragon's claw.
The moment it was touched, an indescribable message emerged in the mind: This evil spirit chess piece is called "Apocalypse Forecast", and it will count down the major event nodes that the holder is about to encounter.
A countdown appeared before Annan's eyes, as if the whole world was flashing for him. And now, the countdown showed: twenty days.
"alright!"
As the blue dragon retracted its claws, the strange countdown disappeared.
Annan obeyed the agreement and pushed the box into the crack together with the gold coins. With some doubts, he got on the carriage and returned to the Morrowind Tavern.
"Michael, do you know about Evil Spirit Chess?"
"What is that?"
Michael's reaction showed that he didn't know, and the blue dragon had no reason to deceive himself.
Unexpected for the time being, Annan suppressed his curiosity about the major event that would happen twenty days later, and returned to the present: Since he is not Levi's, how can he get rid of this troublesome identity?
Announce the truth on a suitable occasion?
"Do you think a banquet is an appropriate occasion?"
"What is the appropriate occasion?"
Michael felt that Annan would be more likely to say stupid things when he came back.
"Announce to the outside world that I am not Levi's."
