Chapter 20: Tucci in the Tavern
Master Victor is a person whose life is full of legends, the greatest alchemist and magic scientist in the history of Zuan, he left countless great inventions in Zuan, changed the face of his hometown, and the current development of the entire Zuan is inseparable from the invention of Master Victor.
It is also said that he will soon become the greatest alchemist in the history of the Loran Continent.
Now he is in Tathelmir again, where he pursues the supreme path of the alchemist, such a person naturally attracts the attention of the people of Zu'an's hometown, and he has a prop shop here, which is very famous.
When it comes to Victor's master, Rambo has a look full of longing. He was determined to follow in the footsteps of Master Victor, which is why he came from Zaun to Taselmir.
"You won't regret it, this magic guide of yours, the principle is very special, this is a new way of thinking, I dare say, even Master Victor will be shocked by you when he sees your invention."
"Arthur, you're a genius alchemist!"
Rambo regarded the M16 as Arthur's own alchemical work, and he thought that Arthur had also come to Taythemir to follow in the footsteps of Master Victor, and praised Arthur here.
Arthur's face was a little red, his face had not evolved to the level of cunning, how could M16, a product of modern manufacturing industry, be his work alone, let alone him, even if those top scientists wore to the world of Loraine, they couldn't build such a gun alone!
The technology of the earth is not the magic technology here, it is the crystallization of collective wisdom, the power of industry, and it cannot be done alone.
However, he naturally would not explain this kind of thing.
Because Rambo's words made him feel that this might be an opportunity, and alchemy might be able to solve his problem.
After all, magic technology is also magic, and alchemists are also one of the spellcasters, so perhaps magic technology and alchemy are more suitable for him than arrogant and corrupt mages.
This Master Victor, he should go and meet him. It's just that the metal pioneer Victor, the name, makes people feel a little strange.
He didn't think much of it, but he didn't expect that when he mentioned that he was going to meet Master Victor with Rambo, the kid said an answer he didn't expect.
"But I don't know where Master Victor's prop shop is! I thought you'd know? ”
The damn little dwarf said with an innocent face.
"What?"
Arthur was furious.
The dwarf Rambo whispered very aggrievedly:
"Actually, I've been here for many days, and I've been going around many times, but I haven't been able to find Master Victor's prop shop, and it's said that ......"
"What do you say?"
Arthur said fiercely,
"It is said that in order to enter Master Victor's prop shop, you need something that needs to be verified!"
"Huh?"
"Verification required!"
………………………………
The night of Taysmir envelops the city, and even at night, the city is full of life.
In a corner of the city, a tavern that is still noisy at night, the tavern has a vulgar name called Dragon and Beauty, under the lights in the tavern, half of it is full of mercenaries with a drunken and rude manner, plump orc maids wander flexibly among the mercenaries, and occasionally a few beautiful elf maids appear, which immediately causes the mercenaries to laugh at vulgar language.
In the smoke, Arthur and Groot, one big and one small, appeared in front of the tavern door, and as soon as the two appeared, the unique body of the ogre immediately attracted everyone's eyes.
"Ogre?"
The mercenaries on the mainland are no strangers to this kind of notorious big guy, and when they see it, they pull out their weapons one after another, and some half-hazy and half-drunk guests in the tavern are also immediately alerted.
Like an ancient beast stepping into human territory?
Arthur was helpless, he had seen this situation many times.
Why are these fellows always so unloving, and can't they show a little love for a lonely, poor, and lovely alien orphan like Groot, who is lost in the human realm?
But the waiter in the tavern was well-informed, and greeted him,
"This-uh, sir! What can I do for you? ”
Arthur's gaze swept over the interior of the Dragon and Beauty Tavern, and he sighed a little, this is the true face of Tasselmir, these mercenaries, these elves and orc slaves are the characteristics of this city.
Tathmere is a big city, and big cities are good for that, as long as you have money, you can get any news you want.
This tavern, nicknamed by its vulgar name, is the heart of the city's underworld, home to countless mercenaries and thieves in the city's darkness, and the city's most well-informed place.
If the Mage Guild that Arthur visited during the day is the power on the bright side of the sun in the city of Tethermere during the day, then the tavern in front of him represents the power hidden in the shadow of the city, representing the cold and dark side of the Taysmir people. This small tavern is like the axis of darkness in the city, from where the cobwebs of the night stretch out and dominate the city at night
The furnishings in the Dragon and Beauty Tavern are very distinctive, which makes him have a strange sense of freshness, of course, the most attractive thing is those exotic cat-eared girls and elf maids, who are real elves, and even this kind of superb goods can be obtained, which shows the power behind this tavern.
"I'm looking for Tucci, Shadow of the Plague, Tucci, I think you know what I mean."
Arthur said to the attendant who greeted him.
The waiter nodded immediately, knowing Arthur's intentions, and that Tucci was the man behind the tavern, a man whose power was hidden in the glorious shadow of the Taythemir sun.
The waiter led Arthur into the tavern, and scurried to a room that was so dark that the owner would not even light an oil lamp. It takes the light in the corridor to see a dark shadow hidden in the darkness at the bottom of the room.
"You're Tucci?"
"It doesn't matter if I'm a tucci or not, all you need is a message, and it doesn't matter whose mouth it's coming from, doesn't it?"
The dark shadow in the room did not answer Arthur, but asked rhetorically.
Arthur asked again,
"So if Tuqi doesn't come forward, how can you guarantee the value of the news you give?"
The other party hesitated for a moment and replied:
"This, in fact, we can only guarantee the authenticity of the message, as for its true value, it is different in everyone's opinion, a particular message, only for some specific guests is meaningful, this needs to be judged by the guest himself."
Arthur nodded, he accepted this explanation, he was not interested in asking more, he was only here to inquire about a few random news, but he did not really want to spy on the organization of the thieves' union, the thieves' union relies on the gods behind it, and its power is all over the continent, it is a behemoth in the shadows.
So there's no need to make any extraneous complications.
He directly explained the intention:
"I need the address and how to enter the Alchemist Victor's prop shop, as well as the specific personal information of this Victor Master: background, hobbies, all, the more detailed the better......"
I knew from Rambo that Master Victor's alchemy props shop, Rambo didn't find it, but it doesn't mean that Arthur has no way, this solution is - gold coins, the power of the goddess Wojin is applicable to all worlds, all time and space.
It just so happened that Arthur still had some gold coins in his hand, which allowed him to be so extravagant, and, by the way, he could also see the dark side of the city.
The dark side.
