Chapter 176: The Hidden Mage I
The 'Silver Sacred Sword' and his party leave the castle.
On the way, several members of the group couldn't help but wake up the young warrior monk who was still pondering, and said, "Leader, why did you choose to work with a new team?" β
"Listen to that guy's words, it's too unreliable." Several complained, resisting the young monk's decision to stay in the castle.
"Do you think that's cooperation?"
The young warrior monk recalled the previous encounter with the priest in the castle, and said with a vague understanding: "He chose to fight with me because he wanted to take the initiative of the mission, and then talk to us about 'cooperation'. β
"This is a very precious purple encirclement mission, our team has been in "Dawn" for two months, and we have completed a purple mission before, and thanks to that mission, our 'Silver Sacred Sword' was imprisoned for the third place in the regional standings of Arabe."
"But...... Boss, we seem to feel like we're working for others. One of the members of the group was indignant.
"Part-time job?"
The young warrior monk glanced at him and said lightly: "Even if he is a part-time job, he goes to work with any of the top ten teams in the standings, and others are willing to work, so why can't we, the 'Silver Holy Sword', let go of our body, so give up a purple task?" β
Several members of the group were dumbfounded.
"Alright, so be it. Go back and send a group email to gather people. Meet at the South Gate of Arabe. The young warrior monk waved his hand to the crowd.
Soon after. Charles and his party also came out of the Lord's Palace.
Compared to the doubts of the people of the 'Silver Holy Sword', the head of the Lord's Palace, the daughter of Grand Duke Raul, Meloti. Raul, who didn't bother with the question of whether the Charles could kill a model monster leader, sent Charles away after a while of small talk.
After all, after the plot of the battle, Meloti was convinced of Charles' abilities. Even the dark priests of the Temple of Bane were stabbed to death by his own hands. It's estimated that it will be difficult for the mere exemplar to take him down.
However, although the three Todak had heard of the plot of that battle, and heard that it was the mysterious player who was authorized by the Lord's Mansion to sweep away the dark forces under Arabe, Todak and they could not have imagined that the protagonist of the event was close at hand.
ββ¦β¦ I said, just the six of us, really want to infiltrate the lizard-man tribe and find trouble with a model monster leader? Coming out of the Lord's Mansion, on the way, Ouster pulled a face and kept asking.
"Then you think there are six of us. How sure are you of killing a Peak Lord? Charles asked, smiling at him.
ββ¦β¦ Well, this one. β
The corners of Oster's mouth twitched, and he cautiously looked at the rank numbers displayed on the team's avatar list. His face changed and he said, "Sancheng, it can't be more." β
"So if you are stunned like this, you must be prepared."
Without much explanation, Charles led his five team members through the streets of Arabe, and soon stood in front of a very secret house.
"What is this place?" Olster asked the crowd with doubts.
"A hidden shop for high-level mages."
"He's a believer in Ogma."
Thanks to the Temple Identity Template, there was information in the training program that looked for Mage Fiona to learn scroll making and have a certain chance to obtain the [Scroll Making] specialty, so Charles found it according to the approximate location in the information.
Knock knock.
Knock on the low wooden door.
"Meowβ"
For a long time, the wooden door slowly opened with a strange cry. A beautiful tiger striped cat jumped out of the crack in the door and squatted on the threshold, looking at several people with amber eyes.
"Meow, meow, meow."
The tiger cat looked at Charles, as if it could smell the divine aura on him and recognize the gods he believed in, and his spirituality was amazing.
Shaking its round body, the tiger cat straightened its tail, meowed low to Charles, and then entered the door, obviously signaling Charles and the others to follow.
ββ¦β¦ It's supposed to be a magic pet, right? It's so cute. "Leah's eyes are full of little stars. She's a druid, and like other female players, it's easy to find a cute animal companion to make a contract, but between pets and important combat power, Leah still chooses a cheetah.
"Excuse me."
Shouting outside the door, as a kind of hello, Charles led Leah and the others into the magic hut.
It is a small two-story building, and the interior space is relatively narrow, and the ground floor is stacked with sacks and wooden baskets, and there is a pungent smell in the air.
"Some are alchemical materials."
"Some of it is the blood used to make high-level scrolls."
There are also many scents that the charr can't discern. Most of the mage's labs smell similar.
"Meowβ"
The tiger striped cat barked at a few people on the landing of the staircase.
The Charles followed the cat to the second floor.
A total of four rooms were scattered along the corridor, the first with a constricted door, and the second and third rooms completely open, filled with books.
The tiger cat stopped in front of the room at the end of the corridor and meowed, and then a soft female voice came from the room: "Leigh, who did you bring in?" β
The mage apparently knew that the Charr were waiting outside the door.
"Hehe, Holy Presence? Ogma's priest? The tiger cat continued to meow, and the female mage seemed to understand the beast language, and after a while said, "Come in." β
The six of them crowded into the house.
This room is a little empty, there are a few experimental tables, but there are no utensils on the table, a woman wearing only household clothes, tinkering with something in front of an experimental table, Charles and a few people stood for a few minutes, the woman turned around with a crockpot, smiled at a few people, and said, "Do you want to taste it?" β
"This is the blueberry apple soup I just made, and it should taste good."
As she spoke, the woman tilted the mouth of the crockpot slightly, allowing the Charles to see the cooking inside.
Coincidentally, the corners of the six people's mouths all showed some signs of twitching. Blue and black apple custard? The black, very sticky stuff inside couldn't be cooking.
Observing the expressions of several people, the woman was obviously unhappy, but she still asked again, "Do you want to taste it?" β
The mages have a strange temper, and this time they came here to ask for help, after all, they are not familiar with the place in Arabe, and in this secret shop, Charles does not want to go to the Lizard Swamp to find trouble with the monster leader without any preparation.
Including the quicksand on their fingertips, everyone's eyes were fixed on Charles, and the look in his eyes clearly said: The captain takes the lead.
"This bunch of pit goods."
Charles cursed in his heart, but stepped forward anyway, reached into the crockpot with a finger, dipped some black blueberry applesauce, and licked it lightly.
The moment the taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, Charles's expression suddenly becomes colorful. (To be continued......)
