Chapter 0204: Black Market Merchant Gargamel
The sunset below the horizon is about to sink in the west, exuding a brilliant purple red, as if it wants to rob people's souls.
Through the bright window, it was reflected on the people who were drinking in the dwarven tavern, and shone on the faces of the strangely shaped NPCs of various races.
The color of Meili is like the enchanting of ghosts, like the ghosts in the legends and stories of Huaxia.
Seeing that the weather was approaching dusk, Xiao Zhai did not stop in Canberra City, and directly teleported from the teleportation array to Trisian City, and found the dwarven tavern that Caesar said.
In an empty city, players are rarely seen. The fourth-level city is the main practice area for players from level 30 to level 90, but it is not a brain problem, and basically no players will wander around the city, because the only condition for opening the fourth-level city function is that someone in this area reaches level 30.
In the entire city of Trisia, Xiao Zhai only saw a few players in transit in the teleportation array.
In the eyes of those players who transferred, Xiao Zhai was a gentleman who didn't learn anything and came to the fourth-level city to see the market.
Xiao Zhai walked through the empty streets of Trisia, and after questioning countless NPCs, he finally found this tavern, and drank the unique spicy wine of the dwarves alone in the sunset, waiting for the scruffy goblin that Caesar had spoken.
Squeak...... Since Xiao Zhai sat down, the wooden door that had not been opened for half an hour finally heard the sound of opening.
The goblin that Xiao Zhai had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared at the open gate, and the purple-red sunset stretched the dwarf shadow of the goblin long.
The messy green hair looks very dirty as if it was not cleaned up since birth. A pair of long, green pointed ears pierced through the greasy hair and exposed the top of his head. The green face is covered with old wrinkles, like the bark of an old tree. Yellow pupils with pointed nose.
The tattered and dirty robes on his body were a faint indication that the goblin was an alchemist.
"A glass of Blancling," the goblin held out a tiny green hand from his robe, holding a gleaming gold coin in his hand.
The little green hands were very clean, and they didn't match the whole dirty body, like a lotus flower blooming out of the mud.
"Gargamel, I met that unlucky guy again today, and I cheated money again." Looking at the gold coin in the goblin's hand, the dwarf on the counter smiled and said to the goblin.
The dwarven joke caused the few NPCs in the tavern to burst into laughter before continuing to drink.
The goblin, who was called Gargamel, didn't pay any attention to the ridicule of the crowd, picked up the wine glass, carefully walked to a corner, and slowly tasted the wine.
"Boss, that person is very strange, do you know each other?" Xiao Zhai took the wine glass, walked to the front of the counter, took out a gold coin from the item space, threw it to the dwarf behind the counter, and asked him.
"Lord Baron, that person is an alchemist of ours, if a person who does not have any alchemy products and has not succeeded in alchemy once is also considered an alchemist." The dwarf picked up the gold coin on the counter, looked at the badge on Xiao Zhai's chest, and said respectfully to Xiao Zhai.
"Haven't you ever succeeded in refining?" Xiao Zhai couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling in his heart, could it be that the person Caesar asked him to find was not this goblin, but according to Caesar's words, it was obviously the goblin in front of him.
"Yes, at first, everyone didn't know that he was a great alchemist, and they respected him very much, especially from his alchemy laboratory from time to time explosions, indicating that he was doing alchemy experiments. Everyone adores him very much. When he sold those failed alchemy items, everyone scrambled to buy them, and he earned a lot of gold coins. It wasn't until one day, when a high-ranking mage passed by here, heard that his reputation came to visit him, and realized that what he was selling was all failure, and it was not the legendary Earth Alchemy product at all. The dwarf said as he looked at the goblins who were drinking.
"Then he hasn't succeeded in refining?" Xiao Zhai said without giving up.
"We don't know, adventurer, Gargamel is a very cunning goblin, if you want to buy alchemy items, it's better not to look for him." The dwarf looked at the face of the gold coin and kindly reminded Xiao Zhai.
"I'm just curious about this person, by the way, have you been able to hear explosions coming from his alchemy lab all these years?" Xiao Zhai suddenly thought that when he came in the afternoon, he heard an explosion, and the people in the tavern didn't have any surprised expressions.
"yes, it's been like this for a few years, and now it's really unaccustomed to the people here not hearing explosions from Gargamel's lab every day." The dwarf nodded and said, he didn't see a golden light in Xiao Zhai's eyes.
"What a cunning goblin." Xiao Zhai finally understood why the goblins were sold to the people around here were all failures.
"Does this goblin come here every day for a drink?" Xiao Zhai understood the reason and began to extract some useful information from the dwarves.
"Come every day, sometimes I drink a glass of ordinary wine for one silver coin, sometimes I may not know who I have deceived, sell his failed goods, and when I make money, I will come to drink a glass of Blanc wine for one gold coin." The dwarf said.
Squeak...... Xiao Zhai was about to ask more, when the door of the tavern was pushed open from the outside in, and an elven mage walked in, and the dwarf immediately turned around to entertain the mage.
"Mr. Gargamel, I don't know if I can treat you to a drink." Xiao Zhai bought a bottle of Blanc from the dwarf for 50 gold coins, walked to the goblin's location, and said to Gargamel in the goblin language of the current continent.
"Not available." Gargamel replied coldly, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The glorious era of goblins has passed, and now the world is no longer the era when goblin language was popular, even the current goblins have lost their former honor, and even their own language has been lost, and there are not many people who know the ancient goblin language of that glorious era now.
Gargamel was only a little surprised by the fact that this man knew a little bit of the current goblin language. There are many people on the mainland who study the goblin civilization, and everyone wants to study the glorious ancient goblin civilization.
"Damn, my character is so bad?" Xiao Zhai has now determined that this goblin is a black market merchant, and he can't activate it when he is next to this black market merchant, and he can't help but be speechless for a while.
I don't know if the system hasn't opened the fourth-level cities yet, and now these cities are just used as tourist places, and no functions have been opened, and NPCs don't serve players. Or Xiao Zhai's character is as sharp as the legend, and the black businessman is right in front of him and there is no way to activate it.
"Mr. Gargamel, I'm here to do business with you." Xiao Zhai said without giving up.
"I'm just a failed alchemist, not a businessman." The goblin ignored Xiao Zhai, drank the wine by himself, and poured the wine brought by Xiao Zhai unceremoniously.
Syllable...... Xiao Zhai, who was speechless, could only take out the token given by Caesar and throw it in front of the goblin.
"Damn Caesar." The goblin looked at the token on the table for a moment, and then quickly withdrew it into his arms, afraid that others would see it.
"Bring the wine, come with me." The goblin's yellow eyes swept around the tavern, and after finding that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered to Xiao Zhai.
After Xiao Zhai left the tavern, Xiao Zhai carried the half-drunk wine bottle, left the tavern, and followed the goblin from a distance.
What Xiao Zhai didn't notice was that not long after they left, the elven mage who had just come in also left the tavern and followed Xiao Zhai.
"Damn, cunning goblins." The explosion that Xiao Zhai heard in the tavern today was obviously not far away, but now he followed the goblin around the city for more than half an hour, the sun had all set, and the magic lamps in the city had been lit.
Touch...... Finally saw the goblin enter a room, and Xiao Zhai followed closely. The door behind him slammed shut, and the scruffy goblin lay on the crack in the door, carefully observing the situation outside.
After making sure that no one was following them, the goblin opened the secret passage in the room and took Xiao Zhai inside.
It was only not long after they left that the elven mage who followed slowly walked out of the shadows.
Lalkers? How could a mage be hidden?
With the next action of the elf, everyone's doubts were finally answered.
The elven mage quickly removed the mage's disguise, revealing a thief's outfit, and used the lockpicking skill on the closed door, and in less than a second, the closed door was easily opened by the elf thief.
The thief was a tanuki, and entered the room lightly, and as soon as he entered, it was a latent shadow that disappeared into the room.
The room was not large, and all the situations in the room could be seen clearly as far as the eye could see, and the thieves saw that there was no one in the room, and immediately understood that there must be a secret passage here.
Finding traps and secret passages is what thieves do best, and thieves cancel the latent and begin to carefully search for secret passages in the room.
Touch...... Gargamel took Xiao Zhai through the dark secret passage for more than ten minutes, and finally came to his destination, opened a stone door, and appeared in a room.
A dim magic lamp illuminated the small room, which had no windows, indicating that it was still underground.
"Pick your own, and the price is marked on it." Gargamel reached out and pressed against the wall, and a secret door appeared, and inside was a small room, with various alchemical items piled up in a mess.
"Haha, magic bombs, robot puppets, poison acid bombs......, alchemy items, I'm here." Xiao Zhai shouted excitedly.
Looking at Xiao Zhai's excited appearance, Gargamel's face was full of disdain, he was really a country bun who had never seen the market, and he was so excited about all this garbage.
Xiao Zhai rushed into the room and picked up the items he needed from the piles of alchemy items.
