Although he had reached a verbal agreement with Gordon, and although his repentance would have a bad impact on his reputation, Master Rhodok still couldn't resist Hao Lin's temptation. The price he offered was two palm-sized animal skins.
There was a faint blood-red glow in the black, and the surface was as rough as sandpaper, exuding the smell of fire and sulfur. Rhodok clearly remembered that in the Abyssal Creature Illustrated Book, this was exactly the same as the Nightmare Beast's skin characteristics.
Nightmarmons, horse-like creatures that live in the abyss, are powerful and massive enough to attack enemies with their hooves of fire and smoke. However, the most terrifying thing about this creature is that it has the ability to fear the minds of enemies on the battlefield, and can even invade the minds of sleeping creatures through guò plane projections, creating nightmares.
The Nightmare Beast is a master of mind manipulation and illusion, and its skin is naturally the best material that illusionists like Rhodok dream of.
If converted into gold coins, Gordon's elemental essence plus gems is about the same value as Hao Lin's Nightmare Hide. But for Rhodok, the Nightmare Hides were undoubtedly more precious.
"I'm sorry, but this gentleman's nightmare skin is more important to me. Our transaction had to be cancelled because of this. Rodok bowed to Gordon.
The deal that was about to be completed was yellow, and what he wanted was snatched up by a guy who was hostile to him. This feeling of being "snatched away from love" by others made Gordon very unhappy. But what could he do? Annoyed and angry? This only makes him seem uneducated, and it doesn't change anything.
In the final analysis, it is still Gordon's own strength that is not strong enough. If he was a high-level mage who had mastered the spells above the Six Rings, would Hao Lin dare to be so arrogant in front of him? If he had something more precious than Nightmare Skin, would Rhodoc refuse?
"So, I wish you both a successful deal." Gordon smiled and nodded at the two of them, then turned to leave.
Behind him, Hao Lin's triumphant sarcasm came: "No matter how much you pretend to be personable, you are still a loser." ”
Gordon returns to the trading floor again, looking for other items that can be exchanged. But helplessly, there are not many opportunities for mages to be willing to take out their treasured magic books to buy and sell. An hour later, Gordon, who had found nothing, decided to leave.
Arriving at the secluded corridor leading to the gate on the first floor of the guild, Gordon saw someone he didn't want to see—Holling Heidbergh. He seemed to be waiting here, and when he saw Gordon appear, he immediately took out the trophy he had just gotten - "Dasong's Plastic Energy Spell Experience", and shook it as if showing off: "Baron Gordon, I am a good person who is willing to share. If you're willing to come to my house and wash the dishes for three days, I can lend you this book. I wonder if Mr. Noble Mage is willing to deign or not? ”
Hao Lin bit the word "baron" very hard, and the mockery was overflowing.
Gordon sighed: "Open your mouth 'baron', shut your mouth 'noble', Hao Lin, although you have achieved extraordinary achievements through personal struggle and have entered the urban elite, but in your bones, you are still a lowly and obscene country clay leg. The real aristocracy will not be bound by those two words. ”
"What did you say!" Hao Lin was poked in the sore spot by Gordon, and his voice suddenly rose.
"I mean, you're just a mean and lowly rat." Gordon shrugged, ignoring the other man's anger, "If you were really honest and confident, you wouldn't have chosen such a no-man's place to mock me." You must know in your heart that if other mages witness this kind of ungraceful villainous behavior, it will have a detrimental effect on your reputation. ”
"Bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Hao Lin was carried away by the rage, and his hands began to gather arcane energy, ready to move.
Gordon sneered, fully on guard. In the Mage Guild, except for the gladiatorial arena on the negative floor, private fighting is forbidden in other places. Therefore, he will never take the lead, so that when the accounts are settled afterwards, he can occupy the commanding heights of morality and law. As for whether to injure or maim the other party, that's another matter.
Gordon, who relies on mana to cast spells, is far stronger than ordinary mages in combat. In addition, he also has a magic wand that he has transformed with his own hands, and after the fight, he will first come to more than a dozen powerful Ma Youfu strong acid arrows, and the other party will be pregnant if he does not die.
Glancing at Gordon's sneer, Hao Lin was full of excitement, and he was about to blurt out the spell spell, but he also swallowed it hard. It's not a good idea to do it in the Mage Guild. While the Mage Guild is loosely structured and doesn't have a strict hierarchy, it doesn't mean it's a place where people can do whatever they want. Those mages who dare to use magic in the mage's guild will not end well.
Thinking of this, Hao Lin withdrew his hand and held up the "Da Song's Plastic Energy Spell Experience" in the attitude of a victor: "Very exciting, Gordon, today you let me see the sharp mouth of the nobles." However, losers are losers after all. I can kick you out of the workshop, I can snatch the magic books you fancies, and I have more magic than you. In the future, I will still be stronger than you in every way! ”
"It's a long time coming, and it's unknown who the loser is." Gordon said.
"Humph!" Hao Lin flicked the mage's robe and rushed out of the door.
Gordon returned home depressed. He was very upset that he had wasted a lot of time in the Mage's Guild and had found nothing. After all, time is precious to him now.
Adjusting his mood, Gordon spent the rest of the day reading books and practicing magic. The power of a mage comes from knowledge, and knowledge needs to be accumulated bit by bit. A warrior can break through through an epiphany, a priest can be reborn with a divine grace, and a warlock can surge his strength by stimulating the power of his bloodline, but there are no shortcuts in the pursuit of arcane and truth.
The next day, Gordon prepares to try his luck at the Mage's Guild again.
Perhaps the law of conservation of character really exists. The "Da Song's Plastic Energy Spell Experience", which was about to arrive yesterday, was finally bought by Hao Lin, which made Gordon depressed. But when he came to the trading hall on the second floor of the guild today, he quickly found a new trading item.
A young mage named Dorne Lannister needs a unique magical item as a gift to celebrate his uncle's birthday. The exact requirements will need to be discussed in person, and if the deal is made, he will be rewarded with a magical notebook from an ancient mage's handwriting.
Dorne Lannister is not in the Mage's Guild, but has left an address. Gordon used the guild's telecommunication device to inform the other party and agreed on a time to meet.
At the beginning of the day, Gordon left the house to meet Mr. Lannister.
In October, there is no bleakness in late autumn, even at night, there is still a cloud of people, and it is very lively. The harvest festival on October 20 is approaching, and merchants flock to the city like salmon that return to the source of the Bingliu River to spawn in November, looking for business opportunities. After the autumn harvest, the idle farmers also came to this bustling commercial city in order to earn some extra money and spend a relaxed winter.
Gordon paced along the riverside and left the aristocratic quarter. After four more blocks, he came to the most famous red-light district in Clear Water City. No way, the place where Mr. Lannister agreed to meet, the most upscale entertainment venue in Clear Water City, Amber Mask, is here.
Amber Mask offers guests the finest drinks, the rarest delicacies, the best cabaret performances, and the most beautiful and fresh**. Whether you're a man or a woman, whether you're looking for a toned female centaur or a handsome elf boy, Amber Mask will satisfy your needs.
Walking into the red-light district, Gordon felt the atmosphere around him change abruptly, the air was filled with the smell of bad perfume and ale, and the streets were wandering with drunks and warblers wearing heavy makeup.
Fortunately, the warblers, who had been wandering the streets for a long time, knew that Gordon, dressed in mage robes, was not their potential customers, and only rude mercenaries and drunken dock workers would patronize them, so they did not come to harass him. Gordon came to Amber Mask very smoothly.
Pushing open the door carved with the statue of the goddess of pleasure, he stepped inside, and a wave of heat mixed with the smell of food and the sound of laughter rushed in. Gordon frowned, and was about to ask someone when a plump woman walked over. Her twisting posture seemed to have applied a charm spell, which was so charming that it took Gordon a lot of effort to look away.
The only regret is that this woman wears an amber mask that covers half of her face, so that people can't get a glimpse of her true face.
"I am Lady Dinah, the owner of the Amber Mask. May I ask this young Mr. Mage, what can I do for you? There's a new Catwoman in the store lately, and she's wild enough to satisfy your appetite. ”
"No, I ......"
"Oh, you don't like it? Perhaps, the strong barbarian stick guy Huck will satisfy you. ”
Gordon felt that if he continued like this, his sexuality would be distorted by the other party to a very strange place, so he simply finished his sentence in one breath: "I have come to find Mr. Dorne Lannister." ”
"Oh, is that Mr. Gordon Freeman? Mr. Lannister has already commanded, please come with me. ”
Gordon breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of courtesan woman is not a role he is good at dealing with.
Although the Amber Mask is a place of wind and moon, it also offers lodging services. Because it can serve fine wine, food and beautiful women at any time, the accommodation business here is quite good, and there are many regular hotels.
Dorne Lannister lives in the Duke's Suite on the top floor of the Amber Mask. According to Douro, a night's stay here costs 5o gold coins, which is more than the profit made by a Gordon zuò ring of the Heroic Wind.
"It seems that the other party is either a rich second generation or a big dog, maybe I should knock on a good deal?" Before they met, Gordon had his first impression of Dorne Lannister.
Madame Dinah sent Gordon to the door of the suite, and departed in a graceful manner. Gordon knocked on the door, and instead of answering from inside, a woman's moans continued to be heard.66
"Damn it!" Gordon was slightly embarrassed.
