Chapter 13 Touching the melon
After Ash left, he didn't go to the mercenary office to report it, as he said, but got into a carriage that had been parked for a long time.
The windows are made of a special material that allows you to see the outside clearly from the inside. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see a young mage walk into the mercenary hall with a cold face, who was the owner of the crystal in his hand.
"Oh, boring Oriental."
Seeing him enter, Ash drove the carriage away slowly, the body steady and even, as if a skilled old driver was driving.
……
Uno fell to the ground, and there was a faint pain everywhere on his body, which made him break out in a cold sweat, and at the same time he was worried that the other party would report him, and he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Mu Yan?"
"Hmm."
Mu Yan leaned down, grabbed the wound on his hand and looked at it, and then tried to heal it with hydrotherapy.
The pure water element lingered near his blackened wound, lingering for a long time, unable to burrow into it for deep healing, like a beginner swimmer who did not dare to enter the water.
"Xia Mu, what level of elemental manipulation skills can cause this effect?" He asked silently in his heart.
"Please describe the word 'effect' carefully."
"Water cannot heal burns, and unknown elements remain in the wound and have a resistive effect. At my current level, I was able to reduce the distance to 2 centimeters. ”
"Based on the host's current strength as the standard unit 1, the approximate value is 1064.7."
"Convert to standard system level." He had previously entered the relevant data from his memory and artificially created a level attribute conversion table.
"The host's current level is 50, and the target conversion level is more than 80, if you use the 'Flame Mathematician' formula, it will be level 82, and if you use the 'Wuchen Temple Research Monk' formula, it will be level 87."
The only difference between the two is that the former uses a god template that is deferred backwards from the game, while the latter still uses the player template, although it stops at level 80, but the fitting curve can be guessed according to the previous formula.
Although there is a big difference between the two now, there is no difference between them for Mu Yan, and they are both over 80 anyway.
Hearing this answer, his eyebrows suddenly tangled.
In other words, the guy named Ash is a legendary mage who can speak Kragon, most likely from Lokan? Just kidding, a legendary mage should be so sneaky that even level 30 materials have to be delegated? If you're worried about being known, is there a better way than to do it yourself?
"Mr. Mu Yan...... My hand ......" Uno couldn't help but be a little scared when he saw his solemn expression and didn't speak for a long time.
"Cut it, it's not saved." As he spoke, the Light Elemental Knife appeared in his hand.
"Huh??"
Uno watched Mu Yan's light knife fall, but he was imprisoned by the other party, and he couldn't exert any strength, and two bitter leaves were thrown in his mouth just open, and his body became paralyzed. He couldn't help but close his eyes in despair.
However, the imaginary pain did not come, but a feeling of tearing and pulling.
He opened his eyes and saw that the other party was deftly handling the wound, and the wound that was exposed after cutting off the charred part was quickly healed by the hydrotherapy technique, and there was hardly any blood flowing.
For a while, he forgot to cry out in pain......
"Whew-"
After all this, Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I also helped you get rid of the calluses, don't rub your palms hard in the short term, and pay attention to hygiene, otherwise you will get infected. What I threw to you to eat is the leaves of the ghost orchid, which may cause stiff movements, slow reactions and other adverse reactions in the past few days, anyway, it doesn't matter if you work at the front desk. ”
Uno withdrew his palm, his new skin delicate and delicate, in stark contrast to the rough part next to him.
"Thank you......"
He stood up with a complicated expression and bowed deeply and stiffly.
"You're welcome, I'm not confiscating the money." Mu Yan smiled, the purple bag pinned to his waist contained 150 gold coins, and it seemed that Uno had suffered the most losses. "He won't report you, and if you do, the deal will be canceled and the thing will come back to me, so you can rest assured."
Wunuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at Mu Yan, and said with some apprehension:
"Mu Yan Xiansen," this time he shouted smoothly, but with a big tongue. "That set of rhetoric was seen by him......"
"I understand." Mu Yan nodded.
That crappy lie was meant to tell him and dispel his concerns.
In fact, he didn't notice the phantom snake at first, but he was in a bad mood at the time, and Uno happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, so he burned the ale and the wine glass. As a result, the sudden burst of fire frightened the phantom snake, and it was captured by his perception.
Although the system is gone, the attributes obtained with the help of the system are still there, such as perception and intelligence close to 20, making him much more sensitive than casters of the same level.
So there was the next temptation and lie, he attached a trace of magic power to the crystal, and he was afraid that the other party would not find out, so he did it more conspicuously, probably down to level 20.
He then asked Uno, "Did he react unusually after he got the crystal?" ”
Uno thought about it, he was also very nervous at the time, so he kept staring at Ash, although he couldn't see his face clearly through the black robe, but he heard the other party's disdainful laughter very really.
After about three seconds, he smiled and ......" At this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the other in surprise, he felt as if he was being toyed with by the two of them. (After about three or four seconds, he sneered)
Mu Yan Xiansen...... The Crystal ...... You didn't move the forest to search your feet, did you? ”
Mu Yan seemed to see his concerns, and said with a smile: "Isn't this worried that you will be hacked and blacked, otherwise how could I come here so quickly?" Besides, as long as the wizard touches something, there will be some traces left, and if it weren't for the snake, he would never have found it. ”
Uno felt that what he said made sense, and was even more grateful to him.
Mu Yan put away the scorched black tissue cut from the other party's hand. After thinking about it, he threw him back another 50 gold coins.
"Don't do that next time, especially for the wizards who dare to come to the secret room alone."
With that, he left.
……
He walked along the mosquito-scented street, following the trail of the magic into a pharmacy and stopping in front of a row of potions.
The magic had stayed here, only at that time he was talking to Uno, and he only remembered an approximate time.
There were four rows of potions in front of him, from top to bottom, purification potion, volcanic potion, power of the bull, and swiftness potion.
The clerk was dozing off there, bubbling with snot. In front of him is a special box with an open opening, and throwing enough gold coins into it will pop up a magic force that can erase the mark on the potion, otherwise you will trigger an alarm when you go out with it.
The Heru's powerful manipulation of the elements is on full display in these places, which are more convenient than the convenience stores on Earth.
Although Mu Yan has never been to a convenience store.
Considering the clerk's sleeping appearance and the time Ash came here, Mu Yan estimated that the guy didn't bother the clerk, and left after buying it himself.
"Shamu, how long has it been since I gave Uno the gold coins to when I walked out of the main entrance of the mercenary hall?"
He remembered that the other party had apparently paused for a moment in this interval.
"From the time the host enters the mercenary hall, the timer starts, takes out the gold coins in 10 minutes and 7 seconds, and leaves in 10 minutes and 35 seconds, a total of 28 seconds."
"28 seconds?" Mu Yan retreated to the door with this answer.
From Uno, he knew that this guy was about the same height as himself, and they were both relatively weak wizards, so the stride length should be similar.
"Shamu, start the timer."
"The timer begins."
Hearing the voice, he took a natural step.
"Nine seconds."
He walked over to the shelf.
"10 seconds."
He completed a round of scrutiny, and the second to fourth rows were within reach, only the first floor needed to stand on tiptoe. A guess in his mind made him choose the highest purification potion. The series of movements of stepping feet and reaching out took an extra 1 second.
Magic is not allowed in the store, so mage's hands are not allowed here.
"12 seconds."
He took the purifying potion and looked at the empty space on the first shelf in surprise.
He was under the impression that the replenishment was done instantly, so why was there a lag now? Just as he was about to wake up the clerk and ask why, a new bottle of purifying potion appeared on the shelf.
"The host hesitated for 5 seconds."
Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the counter.
"19 seconds."
After throwing the gold coin, he felt the mark on the vial be erased, and turned to leave.
"27 seconds, end of profiling."
He stood in the doorway, pinching the purifying potion in his hand, his brow furrowed, and then went to his temporary quarters.
……
When Mu Yan left, the sky had gradually darkened, and ten minutes later, the magic street lamps were lit up on the street one after another, and at this time, the drunken pharmacy store manager returned.
Although he was hobbling and smelling of alcohol, there was a turquoise glow attached to his shoes, and he walked without a sound, so he slipped in quietly.
As soon as the store manager came in, he saw the sleeping guy, so he frowned and scanned the store with his senses, and then shouted angrily: "Little bunny! You get up for me! ”
The clerk woke up from a sweet dream, and before he could dry his saliva, his eyes were dark, and he was grabbed by the store manager's neckline.
"There's a problem with the supply circle here, how do you check it?? Still dare to sleep? He pointed to the first shelf and rebuked: "Do you still want to do it??" ”
"I'm sorry! I'll change it! ”
The clerk who came to his senses immediately ran over with the enchanting pen in his hand.
"Hiccup."
Watching him walk away, the store manager burped and staggered back to the back room.
