037 Shopping spree
When Lothar was seen leaving the "Warm Home" hotel, a man who had been watching the hotel all night quietly left in the alley.
Dressed in a set of faded old leather armor and a black hooded trench coat, he was not striking, but he was agile and could move through the streets and alleys like a fish swimming into the sea.
A wanderer of this strength needs at least two mage crystals for a month to be hired.
Soon, the wanderer walked into a small two-story building facing the street.
Leon Fernando, Anatasius' butler, was tending his mustache in front of the mirror.
He carefully applied the ointment, which was scented with a rich rose scent, to make his beard shiny and shiny.
Looking at himself in the mirror for a while, he said to the wanderer, "Is the matter done?" ”
"Yes, sir. Your stinky cloud windbags work so well that the whole hotel is smoky. This morning I whispered a message to the innkeeper. Although he was reluctant, in order to continue his business, he could only drive Lothar away. ”
"Continue to follow Lothar and report any situation in a timely manner. If he stays in another hotel, you can't keep him safe. It seems too boring to continue using the stinky cloud windbag, so it's okay to use a noise tuning fork. ”
Leon handed a pitch-black tuning fork to the wanderer.
Listen closely, and the sound of a festival market can be heard from the tuning fork.
The loiterers took their leave.
Leon stroked his favorite beard and muttered to himself, "All the magic shops in Far Summer City, all the threats that can be threatened. If you have a deep background and can't threaten it, you will buy all the spiritual power potions and their preparation materials in advance. That kid doesn't want to be promoted to an official mage in this city, and he doesn't want to participate in the Spring White Tower Meeting! ”
"Not only that, but he will face endless harassment and not even get a good night's sleep."
Adequate rest is essential for a mage.
When the brain is exhausted, the efficiency of meditation, spell casting, and arcane study will decrease, and mistakes will occur.
"Rexi has gone all out to deal with Lothar. Not only is he desperately trying to improve his strength, but he is also trying to weaken the enemy's strength by all means. Even if the other party is just a mere apprentice mage, he has not slackened in the slightest. This is simply using the Nine Rings spell to bombard the ooze monsters. ”
"But that's fine, I can use the power of the Winterhold family to help Lexie, and I can make a lot of money. And his grasp of capturing the legendary orb is also greater. Leon's eyes twinkled, calculating the gains and losses. The corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled, "I'm really looking forward to the next White Tower Meeting!" ”
It wasn't long before a sweaty wanderer returned to the small building and interrupted Leon's reverie.
"What's wrong?"
"Lord Leon, Lothar has moved into the Anne Doroth Mansion!"
"What!" Leon's beard shook in surprise, "That's the direct property of the White Tower of Truth, and you need at least 5 mage crystals to live in a day." Lothar, a little apprentice mage, where did he get so much money?! ”
Lothar certainly has money.
When he arrived at the Anne Doroth Mansion, he showed the money bag containing one hundred and two mage crystals, and the director of the mansion immediately welcomed Lothar in with a smile on his face.
This mansion is located in the rich area with the best security environment in Yuanxia City, covering an area of 300 acres, and originally belonged to a famous star mage Anne Doroth more than 300 years ago. After her death, she donated this mansion to the White Tower of Truth. In order to commemorate her contributions, the White Tower of Truth named the mansion after her.
Today, this mansion is the most luxurious accommodation in Far Summer City and even in the western part of the entire kingdom.
Of course, the cost of a minimum of five mage crystals a day is not just luxurious and comfortable.
The mansion is built with a special architectural pattern and stone, which can allow the occupants to be nourished by the power of the battle flag constellation, sharper mental strength, clearer thinking, and improve the efficiency of meditation and learning.
In addition, guests staying at the residence are also eligible to use other premium ancillary facilities.
Of course, there is a fee for that.
Lothar had a lot of money in her pocket, but it wasn't enough to squander it. Living in the Anne Doroth Mansion is just a last resort.
Because this is the property of the White Tower of Truth, the enemy will not dare to come here to harass it.
For the next seven days, he was able to prepare for the Spring White Tower Meeting with peace of mind.
After settling into the Anne Doroth Mansion, Lothar returned to the Far Summer City business district.
However, he had already given up buying spiritual power potions, or bought the materials to prepare them himself.
This road has been blocked by the enemy, and he can only choose another way.
Lothar had another plan in mind. It's just that to carry out this plan, he needs a lot of experience points.
He now has more than 16,000 experience points in his experience pool, but that's still not enough.
Lothar stepped into a shop again.
"Sir, are you here again?" The clerk quickly recognized the plain-looking young mage with piercing eyes.
"It's a pity that the materials for the preparation of spiritual power potions have still not arrived."
"I'm not here to buy medicine, I'm here to buy books."
"Buying books?" The clerk was slightly stunned, and immediately put on a warm smile, "Welcome, welcome, our store has a very good stock of books." It's just that there is no spell book ......"
Spell books are rare items that can be found but not sought. Besides, Lothar wasn't here to buy spell books.
"Arcane and magic books, astronomy and geography, history and humanities books, I want them all."
"This ...... That's a lot, can you take it? ”
Lothar gestured out the door.
At the entrance of the shop, stood four knights in white robes and silver armor, guarding a large carriage carrying goods.
"The White Tower is above, and the truth is supreme!" The clerk glanced at the white tower coat of arms drawn on the knight's chest, and suddenly retracted, and his smile was a little less courteous and a little more awe-inspiring.
In a short time, the books needed by Lothar were loaded.
There are a total of six books on arcane magic and thirty-nine books on miscellaneous knowledge.
This batch of books cost more than 500 gold coins.
When Lothar came out of the second shop, there were more than 1,000 gold coins missing from the purse and ninety more books in the carriage.
"Let's go to the next one." After Lothar finished speaking, he took the lead.
The four knights looked at each other, their eyes behind their armors revealing a look of confusion.
"What the hell is this mage doing? Buying so many books, do you want to be a second-hand dealer, or open a private library? Read it yourself? With such a huge amount of text, it would take the average person years to read it. ”
The knights are the guards attached to the Anne Doroth Mansion, and also provide escort services for the guests of the mansion. With the banner of the White Tower of Truth, the city of Yuanxia will retreat in the middle of the night, and it is impossible to encounter trouble.
With them, neither the Moon Staff nor the Winterhold family would be able to cause trouble.
In one day, Lothar visited most of the Far Summer City and bought all the useful books in the magic shop.
On the carriage, the books were piled up into a small mountain, and two cold-blooded horses were so tired that they were panting with such a heavy load.
In the evening, Lothar came to the Stillstream Zone.
The residents living in this district are all middle- and lower-class civilians in Yuanxia City, and gangs are rampant and crime is rampant. The Thieves' Guild and the Assassin's Guild in Far Summer City are also located in the Stillstream District.
As the janitor said, all the magic shops in the Jingliu District are black shops engaged in smuggling, and outsiders can easily suffer.
However, Lothar felt that since he had decided to buy all the books in the entire Far Summer City, he couldn't let the Stillflow District go.
The perfect obsessive-compulsive player who wants to complete all the tasks and achieve all the achievements is so willful!
The appearance of four knights representing the White Tower of Truth in the filthy and crowded streets immediately caused a commotion.
Many people even think that this is the "cleaning" activity carried out by the White Pagoda of Truth in order to ensure the smooth holding of the White Pagoda in the Jingliu area.
However, seeing that the four knights were only carefully guarding a large carriage and had no interest in anything else, the civilians of the Quiet Stream District breathed a sigh of relief.
Before arriving at the first shop, the knights in shining armor caused panic among the shopkeepers again.
After a hectic shout of "hide the goods", Lothar finally explained what she was trying to do.
Knowing that Lothar was not here to inspect illegal business practices, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Still, the four White Tower knights made him tremble, and he was relieved until Lothar had finished shopping and left.
With four White Tower Knights as a deterrent, none of the shopkeepers dared to sell Lothar fakes.
And even if there were really daring merchants who dared to deceive Lothar, with his experience and vision as a legendary mage, he would be able to see through it immediately.
"All four of us have worked hard, this is the last store. As soon as we finished shopping, we returned to the mansion. ”
"Everything is as you arrange it." The knights bowed.
After Lothar bought five books in the store, her eyes suddenly lit up.
He pointed to the corner of the store cluttered with countless items and asked, "What is this?" ”
"This is a gold coin area." The boss hurriedly replied.
Many of the magic shops that sell second-hand goods have a gold coin section. In this area, there are many objects on display, which are either strange or old, and cannot be identified.
The price of these items is one gold coin.
"How's that, sir, do you want to try your luck? What if you buy a piece of Legendary gear for a single gold coin? ”
"I never relied on luck, only on experience and knowledge." Lothar said in her heart.
But he said, "Okay, just buy a few pieces, and treat them as entertainment." ”
He casually pointed to the boss and asked the boss to pack a rusty sword, a broken dagger, a torn silk coat, a mossy flask, and a pitch-black slate into the wagon.
Finally, the day-long shopping spree is over.
The carriage returned to the Anne Doroth Mansion, and all the books were moved to Lothar's guest room, which was so stuffed that there was little place to stay.
Lothar threw away all the tatters he had bought from a gold coin block, leaving only the pitch-black slate.
Taking the alchemy tool from the dimensional bag, Lothar caressed the cracked slate, her face full of excitement.
