2: Sudden crisis
While Mishan was chatting with the innkeeper Falei, someone was also chatting about Mishan in another inn a few hundred meters away.
Although there is only one Lion's Pride Hotel in the game, in reality, the Lion's Pride hotel alone can't accommodate so many people who want to go to Stormwind.
It can only be said that relying on the relationship with Sheriff Duhan, as well as the first wave of post-war reconstruction, the Lion King's Pride Inn is the most formal in Shining Gold Town.
It is this kind of formality that will stop at the pride of the lion king are some decent people.
As a wild mage, Riesenke naturally wouldn't live in an inn like the Lion King's Pride.
It's not that he can't afford to live, but as a wild mage, Riesenke can't show his head at all.
Mage, a profession with a strong academic taste, is completely different from other professions.
Becoming a Wild Mage doesn't mean that Riesenke can't stand the repression of the Academy, but because he made mistakes...... One could even say that a sin was committed.
A mage who is stripped of his status as a mage by Dalaran and expelled from the City of Mages will be called a wild mage.
It can be said that as long as he is a wild mage, he must be more or less burdened with some bounty amounts.
Unless they're impatient, wild mages like Riesenke walk around a semi-official inn like Lion King's Pride.
"Are you sure it's that person?" Riesenke said to the thieves beside him.
"It's confirmed, it's incompatible with the surrounding environment, and this task can be done by a novice." The thief Hanwick, who can mix with Riesenk, is no better.
If the sheriff Duhan had known that these two men were in his precinct, he would have gathered his guards and surrounded the inn.
"But the next thing is not something that a novice can do." In order to avoid attracting attention, the room is dimly lit by a magic lamp.
In this dimness, Riesenke, who wears a robe and hood, and Hanwick, who wears a mask and a mask, have the feeling of a villain BOSS.
"Are you really sure you want to do it directly in the pride of the lion? I've heard ......" Hanwick's voice was a little empty.
"I heard that the owner of that shop is related to General Marcus Jonathan?" Riesenke, who knew what Hanwick was about, sneered, "If you want to say that, I have something to do with Lord Antonidas as well. ”
General Marcus Jonathan, the commander of the Stormwind garrison, is an unattainable figure for Shining Gold.
And the owner of the Lion King's Pride Hotel, Farley, is a veteran of the Orc War.
If I had to talk about the relationship, it was probably because this veteran who was discharged from the army because of an arrow in the knee had served under General Marcus.
It's like the relationship between Antony Das, the owner of the city of mages, and Riesenke, who once studied in Dalaran.
"Shh......h You are so bold, I wonder if those archmages can detect that someone is saying their name? Hanwick said nervously.
"Hehehe, are you a mage or am I a mage." Riesenke continued to scoff, "Even if the mathiciner has this kind of power, it is not something that the old immortal of Antonidas can have. ”
"......" remembered that it was this reason, Hanwick's expression stiffened, and he forcibly changed the topic and said, "That person, is it really worth our big fight?" ”
"I think it's worth it." Riesenke said.
"I need a reason." Hanwick immediately continued.
A bag full of gold coins was smashed in front of Hanwick, and then disappeared without a trace in the next second.
Weighing the gold coin bag in his hand, Hanwick shook his head and said, "Not enough. ”
"It's more than your price." Risenke's voice was a little louder, and a layer of earthy yellow glow appeared on the back of his hand.
"It's not a matter of quantity, it's a reason why I need a hand in the pride of the lion." Hanwick said undauntedly.
"Reason, huh...... Reason? The light on the back of Riesenke's hand slowly dissipated, and his face under the hood took on a pensive expression.
"Yes, I want to know the real reason why you want to do it in the pride of the Lion King, I don't mind being taken advantage of by you, but at least I want to understand what's going on." Hanwick said.
Riseenke was silent for a moment, then pulled a rag from his pocket and threw it on the table.
Just like the bag of gold coins just now, the next second the rag fell on the table, it appeared in Hanwick's hand, and even Riesenke, who was blessed with the True Eye on his body, couldn't see how Hanwick did it.
"The craftsmanship is good, but what does this have to do with your plans?" Hanwick, fumbling with the cloth in his hand, asked.
"Good craftsmanship? So where does this craft come from? Riesenke asked.
"Hmm...... It's a bit like the replica used by the nobles of Alterac to keep out the cold...... No, can't those cavemen make such delicate qualities, the elven shop of Stratholme? …… It's not like that, this one is a little more refined. ”
Hanwick guessed for a moment and then said with a look of sudden realization, "Could it be that that guy has something to do with those elves in the north?" ”
"If it were just that, I wouldn't be in the pride of the lion king." Riesenke said.
“…… Don't play dumb riddles, tell me what the hell is going on. Hanwick asked.
"Do you know about visitors from the other world?" Riesenke asked.
"Visitors from another world?" If it were an ordinary thief, he would definitely be confused about what Riesenke said, but Hanwick was born in the sewers of Dalaran and had more or less heard of what those mages were doing.
For example, summoning creatures from another world.
"You're saying that the person who doesn't leave the door is a resident of another world?" Hanwick asked Riesenke.
"There is no second reason." Riesenke said, "And I've heard that the Mage Guild of Stormwind City has noticed the other party's existence, and it will be too late if you don't do it." ”
"Is it worth it?" Hanwick asked, if he did it at the Lion King's Pride Inn, no matter what the outcome, the bounty on the two would definitely be doubled.
"You know what, that's the soul of another world! If I can analyze the results, even if it is only a small point, it will be enough for my master to give me more power! There was a hint of fanaticism in Riesenke's words.
"Your master?" Hanwick's brow furrowed slightly, and he felt that it was not that simple.
"It's none of your business, thief, just do your own thing." Risenke, who noticed that he had said something wrong, said with a serious expression.
"Well, if that's the case, the contract is valid." Professionalism made Hanwick not ask much,
What's more, as a thief from the sewers of Dalaran, Hanwick knows that when it comes to spell research, it's best not to be too clear about the details.
Even the mages of the orthodox academic school don't mind having one more daring thief on their test bench, let alone a wild mage like Riesenke.
After staring at the vanishing shadow of Hanwick's figure for a moment, Riesenke paused with the staff in his hand and let out a "snort".
