Chapter XXIII: The Deal with the Uncrowned
"Do you know where Gianna is?" the old mage looked at Etis with suspicion.
“...... Well, my fault, the teacher will find it himself. With that, Etis turned and walked out.
"Wait......"
The old mage's voice came from behind, and he turned his head and looked at the old mage with a wry smile: "Teacher, I really don't know where that little girl is, and you also know why Gianna quarreled with you." ”
After listening to Attis's explanation, Antonidas continued to frown and sigh, Aetis looked at the troubled old mage sitting there, shook his head and said to the old mage: "Teacher, I'll go to the city to help find out, and I'll come back to tell you if there is news." ”
The old mage waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and instructed Etis to go out of the city to find it, and then left in a hurry.
After the old mage left, Etis also went to the street to inquire about Gianna's news, and he was also in trouble when he walked on the street, Dalaran was so big, and the little girl didn't know where to run, and where to find it......
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, Etis seemed to think of something, and suddenly walked quickly towards his home, to be precise, to the Glory Grocery Store next door to him, Etis understood that the Glory Grocery Store was just a front, it was the entrance to the black market in Dalaran, and it was also one of the bases of the Uncrowned.
It's just that......
How can I get them to help me...... Except for the accident, almost no one knows where it is, and I just look for it, in case I get directly backstabbed by those thieves, it won't be fun......
By the way, maybe......
Jack Fender has had a lot of luck lately, not only making two big deals, but also making a lot of money in love, and he is cosy in a grocery store chair reminiscing about the lady he was with last night.
Maybe there aren't many guests today...... Jack couldn't wait to meet his charming little darling...... Jack, who thought of this, was just about to close the door when he saw a somewhat familiar elf walk in from the door of the store.
He remembered the elf, the new kid who lived next door to him, the new apprentice, to be honest, he was a little sympathetic to this guy, the mage who used to live next door moved away because he couldn't stand the patronage of unruly guys, and there was no way who let this be a den of thieves?
I hope he can hold on a little longer, otherwise it's easy to be suspicious of the old move here, it seems that he is going to say hello to those guys, hmph! Rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, if those guys are exposed here, I want them to look good!
Jack Fender, who was thinking about something, looked up and found that the elf had come up to him and stared at him strangely, remembering a legend that if a person is too lucky, then he is about to be unlucky, thinking of this, I don't know why Jack Fender has a bad premonition......
"Hello Mr. Jack. ”
"Oh~ Hello Atis, are you here to buy something?, but I'm sorry I'm about to close the door, why don't you come back tomorrow?"
"No, Mr. Jack, I'm here to talk to you about a deal on behalf of the teacher......"
"Your teacher, Master Antonidas?, haha~ Don't be kidding, how could the archmage want a little person like me to do business. ”
"No, no, no, the teacher is not doing business with you, he is doing business with... None!"
Jack Fender's pupils constricted, then feigned composure and said, "I don't know what you're talking about..... I haven't heard of any uncrowned people, you go out quickly, I'm going to close the door today. ”
Etis didn't care, turned around and pretended to leave, and said as he went, "That's a pity, Miss Gianna's disappearance has made the teacher's patience reach the limit, and he has to doubt you, so I'll go back and tell the teacher that you have rejected his kindness, or do you think you are hiding well and can hide from a speaker who has lived in Dalaran for many years? ”
Etis who turned around was actually covered in cold sweat, he felt as if something cold was staring at his neck, but fortunately he had already activated the alpha assistance system when he came in, knowing that it was not a good idea to expose his back to a thief without reservation, but it was the fastest way to find Gianna.
"I don't know where you know, but you're bold enough to threaten the Uncrowned. Seeing this, Jack Fender didn't continue to pretend, but just stared at Etis coldly.
"Don't be nervous, I told you, I'm here to talk about business (weird), representing Archmage Antonidas (in fact, he doesn't know anything!)"
Jack Fender stared at Etis without saying a word or moving his hand, and in the eerie silence Etis clenched his hands, ready to respond to a sneak attack by a master assassin.
"You're lucky Elf, you've picked up a life, I don't believe what you said, the Uncrowned One is hidden in this era, it's sleeping, and it will only wake up when the world is in crisis, you go The Uncrowned One doesn't take over now. Jack Fender said lightly.
"Don't you want to hear about my terms?" said Etis looked confident, turning to look at Jack Fender.
"I told ......"
"Blade of Fear. ”
“!?”
Seeing Jack Fender's shocked expression, Etis smiled with satisfaction, he knew that his goal had been achieved, and he stood there waiting for Jack Fender to digest the news.
"You...... Where did you know about this weapon? in the records of the Uncrowned One's lineage. He's been missing for years!"
Hearing Jack Fender's question, Etis said with a mysterious expression: "You know, my teacher is not an ordinary archmage, and at the same time he is the speaker of Dalaran, who has also passed down the ....... for many years."
"Okay, I kind of believe that Master Antonidas called you here, if your information is true, we will take your job from the Uncrowned, but you should know the rules, you can't reveal any information about the Uncrowned to unrelated people, otherwise ......."
"Of course I know, since I come to do business, I naturally have to understand the rules, I believe I don't need to say anything about my commission, right? I believe that the ability and credibility of the Uncrowned One will allow me to get the news as soon as possible......."
After really leaving the Glory Grocery Store, Etis really relaxed, facing any unfriendly master will have a lot of pressure, not to mention a thief, who knows if there are other thieves who are sneaking around in addition to Jack Fender, but from the point of view of the results, it is not bad, next time I see the teacher mention this matter to his old man, don't go into trouble when the time comes, otherwise he will feel unsteady when he sleeps.
