Chapter 6 Hospitality in Swan Gate Alley
Gallows Square, as soon as Wang entered the square, he saw the gallows erected in the middle.
What surprised Wang the most was that the gallows fit perfectly into the scenery of the square, making you feel that such a mixed place should have a gallows, and nothing else would be suitable.
The prisoners who were executed this week were still hung on the gallows. A group of crows sat on the top of the gallows as if no one was around, guarding their "big meal".
A new crow wanted to join them, but was beaten by a group of crows and left in despair.
Wang frowned and looked at the crow that flew away, and did not look back until he could no longer see it.
Mark also noticed his behavior and asked: "Isn't that your magic pet? That crow."
"yes."
"Why choose crow? Don't mages usually use bats, cats or salamanders as familiars?"
Wang: "The crow demon pet can talk."
Mark: "Is that why?"
"right."
The swordsman had an expression of disbelief on his face, but he suddenly turned around and shouted angrily at the wandering child who had come closer at some point: "Get out! Your sheepdog Jim will nod and bow when he sees me!"
The street children dispersed in a hurry and disappeared into the inconspicuous dark alley near the square.
King: "Sheepdog?"
"Yes, bastards who make money from these orphans. If these orphans can survive and grow up smoothly, they will eventually become a new generation of shepherd dogs. By the way, this is also the path I should have taken." Mark said in a deep voice.
explain.
Wang: "I read a book that was passed down from other dimensions, called "The Wandering Story of a Bitter Child". At the end of the story, the protagonist found his biological mother and found out that her biological mother was a daughter of a rich family. Finally..."
Mark interrupted the mage with a hearty laugh: "This is very similar to me. I met the eldest lady and now I have become her loyal dog. At least I have enough food and clothing."
Wang: "Indeed, and in that alien face book..."
"Let's talk about your magic pet." Mark interrupted him.
"Ah, the magic pet. What happened to the magic pet?"
"You chose crows as your magic pet just because they can talk?"
"Yes, according to my teacher, a talking familiar is the only familiar that is worthy of the status of an archmage. He also gave an example of the archmages in legendary stories who wanted to subvert the world. They all used crow familiars, and they also
He will let his demon pet talk dirty words during the protagonist's adventure."
Mark frowned and looked at Wang: "That master...is he such a character? It's different from the bard's poems."
Wang: "That's it. What he likes to do most is to use his crow demon pet to summon us apprentices. So I also made a crow demon pet, and then found that it is really convenient for the demon pet to talk. I often use the crow demon pet to go out.
When you order food in the cafeteria, the food is already on the table when you arrive."
Mark: "Canteen?"
"Just think of it as the hotel in the tower."
Mark: "It sounds like there's quite a bit of life in your tower."
"That's right. There are more than a hundred mages living together, and it's noisy even if it's not fun. One moment, the golem half-made by someone went berserk, and the next moment the summoning spell went wrong and the magma from hell flowed in..."
"Stop!" Mark raised his palms to make a stop gesture, "keep this to tell the lady. She will probably like it."
Wang: "Will she?"
"Of course I will. She listened with interest when I told her about my time wandering on the street. Now, back to business, is there anything wrong with this gallows?"
Wang: "No. I can indeed feel the magical aura in this square, but it shouldn't be part of a large-scale magic. In fact, I felt the detection magic pointed at me as soon as we entered the square."
Mark: "That's normal. After all, a strange-looking spellcaster appeared in Gallows Square. This is the intersection of Swan Gate Lane and Mouse Street. Do you see the rat-like sign over there?
"That's a tavern, and the street going back is the famous Mouse Street.
"Did you see the Swan sign in the opposite direction? That's the most famous opium shop here. From its back door is Swan Gate Alley."
Just as Mark was explaining, a dagger was pressed against Wang's neck.
The drow that suddenly appeared pulled up his hood slightly and exposed his lips slightly: "Mage, detection is not a spell that a three-ring apprentice can cast. How did you feel the detection directed at you? Even the prophecy school can't
Can you do it without casting a spell?"
"Successful detection allows me to see the image of the person who is detecting me, and at least it allows me to know his direction." Wang calmly replied, "And I just felt the aura of detection magic. But I
I don’t know where the caster is or who he is.”
"Hey, I'll believe you for now. But... you didn't use the Mirror Image Technique this time. Did you run out of spells today? It would be too careless to prepare only one Mirror Image Technique."
Wang grinned: "No, I just don't feel any malice in you. You also know that the spells a mage prepares every day are limited, so of course you can save as much as you can."
Drow: "A mage from the prophecy school who can sense malice... I have never seen someone like you."
"My teacher also said that I am extremely talented in the prophecy school." Wang said in a complete statement.
He paused and added: "And, I can predict now that we will be in trouble."
Mark silently adjusted the position of the long sword on his waist, placing it where it was easier to pull out. His eyes were fixed on the malicious man who came around: "You don't need to predict this, mage."
Among the people gathered around, someone seemed to know Mark: "Hey, Mark, would you like to play house with Her Highness the Princess? When will you be able to sleep with her? Or have you already slept with her?"
Mark put on a glib tone: "If I were you, I wouldn't say such a thing in front of our wanderers, after all, right... Who hasn't had a time to be alone? I don't want to become one tomorrow.
The unclaimed body in the stinking ditch of Swan Gate Lane."
At this time, the man who looked like the leader spoke: "'Tang' wants to know the abilities of your new mage. After all, the whole city knows that he was sent by the portal this morning. Some people even swear by it.
It is said that it is a nine-ring gate to another world, opened from the demiplane of a certain great mage."
Wang was suddenly overjoyed: "Really? Who recognized it? I want to meet the person who recognized the spell. He must be a master who is proficient in nine-ring spells."
Halfway through, he frowned: "But that's not right. Mark just told me that the palace mage visiting here can only cast eight-ring spells proficiently. From this, I draw the inference that few people in this plane are proficient in nine-ring spells."
The man of magic.”
Mark: "Is it possible that that person just heard about the spell Door to Another World in the bard's poems and just mentioned it casually?"
Wang said "Oh" and gave a thumbs up: "That's reasonable!"
Mark said to the little boss who just spoke: "Did you see it? Go back and tell the great Tang that the princess's new mage is an idiot."
Wang: "This Tang, is it an honorific? Similar to 'Dad'? Or is it a nickname? Also similar to Dad."
Little boss: "It's an honorific. Mark, you know Tang doesn't like to be treated poorly. So you see, we must do something to test the strength of your new friend..."
Wang: "You mean, you are going to prepare a test for me? How to test? Answer questions? Rapid spell casting competition? I noticed that there is also a spell caster among you. Are you going to let him and I go into the ring?"
All of a sudden, the whole place was silent.
The little boss suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, Mark, you mage is very humorous."
Mark looked helpless and said to Wang: "They mean they are going to kill us."
Wang suddenly realized: "Oh! So this is the content of the test!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the drow accurately hit the little boss's eye.
The next moment, a smoke bomb rolled out of her cloak. After a crisp bang, Wang's vision was completely obscured by the smoke.
The figure of the drow who was next to the king just now completely disappeared in the smoke, and only the screams of the enemy made people know what she was doing.
Wang muttered: "You have deprived me of my vision."
While speaking, his hand had already taken out a small group of transparent gelatinous substance from the bag of magic materials, with something like eyelashes suspended inside.
In fact, they were eyelashes, coming from a certain junior brother in the tower who enthusiastically provided spellcasting materials.
With the casting materials in hand, Wang completed the gesture accurately and quickly, and the spell came out of his mouth accurately and clearly at the same time.
The gel in his hand evaporated and disappeared in an instant, along with the eyelashes in it.
Then his figure disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, someone in the smoke shouted: "It's an invisibility spell. The mage is invisible!"
Another voice cursed: "Don't worry about it, find a way to get rid of this smoke bastard!"
As he finished speaking, a breeze blew and took away the smoke.
The drow was thrusting a dagger into the throat of the fourth unlucky man.
The soldier leaned against the gallows in a defensive posture, guarding both sides of his body with a short sword and a long sword.
As for the mage, the mage is nowhere to be found.
Zhuoer: "Mark, can't you kill one?"
Mark: "I don't have as much murderous desire as you. And...well, I admit that I'm not as powerful as you."
