"Come on, come on! This is the eighth glass!" A waiter brought two more large glasses of ale and put them on the table. The wine overflowed, the foam swayed, and it spilled onto the table, leaving a large pool of wine stains.
"Come again, come again!" Everyone around them urged to drink. They saw that the tall and strong Wolf and the girl with braided braids who were probably less than half the size of each other were competing in terms of drinking capacity.
"This is the eighth cup! Who else wants to place a bet? Hurry up!" Tius also had a drunken look on his face. He drew two circles with chalk on the table in front of him and piled them with coins.
Copper, just make a bet on Wolf and the braided girl drinking wine.
Everyone was so excited that they didn’t notice the arrival of Xuan Weizi and Sandori. Wolf picked up the wooden wine glass and raised it to the braided girl:
"Miss Shu Rui, you're pretty awesome, hiccup!"
The red-faced Miss Shu Rui seemed to have been drunk for a long time, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wolf, you are also very powerful, hehehe~"
"Uncle?" Wolf burped and said with an unhappy face: "I'm only twenty, twenty... How old am I this year? Anyway, I'm not thirty yet! Hiccup!"
"Wolf, can you do it?" Theus slapped the table on the table and laughed and cursed, making the coins tremble: "Don't tell me that you can't even drink a little girl, I bet on you to win! If you lose
Now, just wait and do hard work for me!"
"call!"
Wolf breathed out, raised his glass, raised his head, and poured the ale into his mouth. After drinking half of it, he puffed up his cheeks and put down the glass, his whole face swollen. His eyes glanced at Miss Shuri, although she was still
She looked like a well-behaved girl, drinking slowly and carefully, but she drank all the ale in the glass without missing a drop.
"Hey! Don't stop! There's still half a glass left!" Everyone gathered around Wolf and urged him. They saw Wolf swallowing the ale in his mouth in one mouthful and looking at the remaining half glass of ale with shaking hands.
"Okay, don't force him." Xuan Weizi stepped forward and patted Wolf on the back. He opened his eyes, quickly covered his mouth and rushed out of the crowd.
Then there was a burst of mocking boos, and the freckled-faced boy who was lying next to the table raised his head: "Miss Shu Rui, you are so amazing." After saying that, he fell down drunkenly.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't grab, don't grab! You guys, if you don't help Wolf drink this little girl down, you will know that if you win the bet, you will steal money!" The two piles of coins in front of Wolf were snatched away by the crowd of spectators, and he lost money.
They are just copper coins, and no one would use Jinyang coins to gamble on such a trivial matter in the market.
"Hey, doctor, are you here?" Theus swung several wine glasses in succession and randomly found one with some left to quench his thirst.
Xuan Weizi sat down at the long table and asked with a smile: "You mages usually don't get drunk, right? Don't mages pride themselves on maintaining a clear consciousness and logical thinking? In a drunken state, you can't even spell.
I can’t even understand the gestures.”
"This... it's once a year, it's okay, it's okay." Titus probably drank a lot. He put his wine glass on his chin, stuck out his lower lip and blew his hair while he giggled.
Sandori came to Miss Shu Rui, helped the girl, who was obviously drunk, to sit down, and complained to Titus: "Are you a group of grown men competing with her to drink? This is not bullying.
Well?"
"It's okay, Shu Rui won't get drunk so easily, hiccup!" Miss Shu Rui's body was swaying: "We witches use big cauldrons to boil potions and also use various alcohols. When I was a child, I liked to drink secretly from my teacher.
The dwarf liquor, I can’t get drunk on this, hiccup!”
"Are you still saying you're not drunk?" Sandori took out a refreshing herb from her bag, tore off half of it, crushed it, and stuffed it into Miss Shu Rui's nostrils.
"Ah, ah, ah - sneeze!" Miss Shu Rui sneezed. The effect of the herbal medicine was very effective, making her sober immediately. There was also half a tablet on the table. Rosalian sniffed it curiously, and also
I sneezed several times in succession.
Xuan Weizi was not polite and stuffed half of the herb directly into Titus's mouth. The drunken and giggling mage chewed a few mouthfuls of it as a delicacy. The strong spicy taste stimulated his mouth and made him tremble.
Sit up straight.
"Witch?" Xuan Weizi ignored Tius who had a numb tongue and ran to rinse his mouth. He turned to the girl who was rubbing her forehead and asked: "Are you a witch? The Crescent Witch Group? Or the Sisters of the Night?
?”
"Ah? You actually know about our witch organization?" Miss Shu Rui was very surprised, her eyes lit up as if she had found a close friend.
Xuan Weizi replied: "There is a sage of the Emerald Circle here in Chaidui Town. I heard him mention it. It is said that many witch organizations have joined the Emerald Circle, but during the Battle of Ghost Bay, various witch organizations remained
Silent, did not participate in the battle, and was not greatly affected afterwards, could it be that you knew something in advance?"
"Hey~ Well... I was still young at the time, so I didn't know much about these things." Miss Shu Rui pressed her two index fingers on her temples and moved them around: "I just didn't expect that there are so many spellcasters of different systems here.
It doesn’t look like the frontier of the civilized world.”
"Oh? Then what kind of wind brought Miss Shu Rui to the edge of this civilized world?" Xuan Weizi asked with his fingers crossed and his chin held.
Sanduoli heard a trace of caution in Xuan Weizi's words and glanced at him without saying anything. Miss Shu Rui just replied obediently: "Wind? There is no wind. I am just traveling in the New World. This is the habit of us witches.
, since I came to Firewood Town and saw so many different types of spellcasters, I wonder if I can stay? Oh! By the way, I heard that your Firewood Town is ruled by a doctor Olenso?
Do I still need his permission?"
"You have permission now." Xuan Weizi responded immediately.
Miss Shu Rui blinked her big watery eyes, and then showed a surprised expression: "Are you Dr. Olenso?"
"Uh-huh." Xuan Weizi admitted bluntly: "Chaidui Town is a place that welcomes all kinds of spellcasters to come and exchange and learn. You must have seen it today."
"I see, I see!" Miss Shu Rui nodded repeatedly, and her braid swayed: "I see that your place seems to produce various herbal medicines. Can I visit and learn about it?"
Xuan Weizi looked at Sanduoli and handed her the words. Sanduoli knew that Xuanweizi was asking her to judge, so she said: "There is no problem in coming to visit and study, but we in Chaidui Town hope that through the exchange of knowledge,
This allows for better communication.”
"Exchanging knowledge? But I don't know what you need." Miss Shu Rui asked.
"I just heard you say that witches use cauldrons to brew magic potions?" Sandori probably saw that Miss Shu Rui was similar in age to her, and they got along quickly: "Why don't you let me observe it when you have time? We are in Chaidui Town.
The Changqing Chamber of Commerce also has the technology to make various alchemical potions."
"Wow, wow! It would be even better if there was a witch's cabin."
"Is the witch's cabin going to be placed in any specific place?"
"Usually it's in the forest. I think there is a large forest near Chaidui Town~"
The two women were communicating there. Tius, who came back from rinsing his mouth, approached Xuan Weizi and motioned to talk elsewhere.
"What's the matter?" Xuan Weizi asked when they came to a quiet street corner.
Theus rubbed his eyes and said: "Dean Nelum's appraiser sent news that the crystal you dug last time has been appraised. At present, it seems that it is a high-density crystal, which is usually found in large-scale
You can only find the sedimentary core of crystalline veins, which are collectively called "deep crystals" in gem identification. And the one we found seems to have a certain effect on stabilizing the portal. They are also very curious about whether you can find such crystals.
, he said he wanted to do more, but I was fooled."
Previously, Xuan Weizi and Tius went deep into the Dark Territory and found a kind of clustered crystalline mineral in the deepest part. Although it could resonate with psychic powers, neither of them knew what type of mineral it was and could only collect part of it.
The samples were sent to Fire Dance City for Nelem to identify, and by the way, this was used to comfort the ninth-level mage who had lost many close relatives, and to express that the prospects for cooperation were still bright.
"This Nelem, after living a stable life for a few days again, he started to relax again. He didn't send me the message in person." Xuan Weizi sneered a few times, which made Theus shudder.
"Doctor, this kind of crystal can not only help arcane magic, but also resonate with psychic powers. I think it's better not to share it with Nelem easily, right?" Theus said, although he still smelled of alcohol.
After seeing these things, I came to my senses: "You wanted to cooperate with Nelem before, just because you wanted to form an alliance and cooperate with the Pentagram Tower through his channels. But you saved Nelem's life before and helped him take back
Huowu City, I think this love is more than worth it. Let’s monopolize the mineral veins, isn’t that too much?”
Xuanweizi looked at Titus and said: "We? You want to take more, right? If you can squeeze Nelem out, you may be able to get more shares. That's what you think, right?"
"
Titus's face turned bitter, but he thought that the thoughts in his mind could not be hidden from Xuan Weizi, so he could only say calmly: "Doctor, although I have started to come into contact with psychic energy, I don't want to leave behind the research of the mage. I plan to do it at the pyre
Build a mage tower."
Xuan Weizi looked at the large tube-like mage tower in the town and said, "Isn't that what it is?"
"That shitty mage tower is just a dormitory building at best." Theus stepped on a small piece of gravel on the ground, feeling as aggrieved as a child who didn't get the prize.
If there is anything that best represents a mage, it is neither the outdated and old-fashioned wide-brimmed wizard hat, nor the spellbook inlaid with angle guards that can smash the head, nor the roots or wooden cores, or
A long-handled staff made of black iron or fine gold.
There are only wizard towers, all kinds of wizard towers - in knight novels, the spire tower where the evil wizard imprisons the princess; the kind wise man who does business with passing merchants, the lighthouse that lives by the sea;
Master Fa, the golden stargazing tower behind him is his private fortress.
All in all, for a mage, only the mage tower is his true home, and it is the most private and safest environment that cannot be shared with others. The mage tower is not only a refuge for the mage to avoid powerful enemies and chaotic situations, but also
A workshop for manufacturing magic items, a laboratory for conducting various magical research, a library for collecting a large number of books and scrolls, and a treasure house for storing countless wealth.
Moreover, the relationship between the mage and the mage tower is definitely not the relationship between the homeowner and the building. Through arcane geometry, the mage and the mage tower can form a close connection, and the magical energy between them can flow to each other. A perfect mage tower can even
It causes the magic energy of the surrounding environment to gather into the mage tower, allowing the mage to save his spell slots and do more things.
The mage tower is actually a large magic object with a building appearance. Its functions and effects vary depending on the mage's design and construction. But the only thing they have in common is that they cost money.
"Do you hope to build a real mage tower and recruit apprentices in Chaidui Town?"
Your position...it seems that you have been stimulated, and the expansion of the spirit messenger has given you a sense of crisis."
Tius didn't dare to respond, but Xuan Weizi's words spoke to his mind. Tius followed Xuan Weizi due to various strange coincidences, and finally gained a foothold in Chai Dui Town. In the past six months, Tius has
Wus worked for Xuan Weizi loyally, not only to save his own life at the beginning, but also because he hoped to obtain guidance on psychic powers so as to be promoted to the ranks of advanced spellcasters.
But it was also in the past six months that Titus witnessed with his own eyes the Green Ring. The indigenous tribes took root in Chaidui Town and settled down. With the guidance and support of Xuan Weizi, their power continued to expand and the number of spellcasters increased day by day.
Even the Battle Academy, which originally only trained warriors and warriors, has become Xuan Weizi's most loyal subordinate because of the teaching of psychic warrior skills. Wolf is in charge, and it is not the turn of Theus, who also learns psychic powers, to intervene.
Before, Theus and Wolf teamed up to drive Salemi away, which was certainly very refreshing. But Theius looked back and thought, even if he didn't come forward, with Wolf and the psychic warriors he brought, Salemi
He will definitely be driven away.
Only then did Theius realize that Chaidui Town seemed to be in alliance with the Tower of Pentagram. He was also the mage advisor of Chaidui Town, but he relied on Xuan Weizi as his backer. But what if the "backer" happened?
If Tian no longer needs him, then he may have no place in Chaidui Town!
Therefore, Theus must act as soon as possible, not only to have a mage tower of his own to firmly nail the fact of his existence in Pile Town, but also to recruit a group of mage apprentices, whether to expand his power or as a random person.
Tools of exploitation are essential.
"Oh, I have been relying on your help these days. If I didn't express anything, it would be disappointing and hinder the long-term development of Chaidui Town." Xuan Weizi said lightly with his fingers: "You want to build a mage tower?
I agree, but I declare in advance that this mage tower will also be covered by the future magic circle of Chaihei Town and will not have any additional powers."
