Chapter 280: The Way
Ben Rachel-Nokane's Magic Tower is on the east side of the swamp, not too far or too close to the Punk Magic Tower.
This plastic mage decorates his magic tower very conspicuously, in the gray buildings and black swamps everywhere, only his magic tower is bright fiery red throughout, and the edges of the tower are also dotted with many golden carvings, it doesn't look like a mage's laboratory, more like a luxurious castle built by nobles, or the style of the nouveau riche aristocracy.
Punk approached this "unique" magic tower with a somewhat speechless mood.
Then, as expected, Punk meets Master Benlachel-Nokane, who is studying at the gates of the Magic Tower.
From the outside, Ben Rachel was a chubby and short old man, wearing a bright robe of fiery red, and his hair and eyebrows had turned fiery red due to the erosion of the fire element.
Far away, Punk sensed that Ben Rachel-Nokani, whom he had never met, must be a very characteristic mage, for the simple reason that Punk had just appeared in the field of vision of the fat old man, and Ben Rachel walked out of the magic tower very enthusiastically to greet him:
"Oh my God, oh my God, look who's coming, look who's coming, isn't this Mr. Sean, that's great."
Seeing the fat old man rushing over like a ball, Punk always felt a deep sense of disobedience coming over him, and soon, Punk found out where the awkwardness was - this old man was too enthusiastic.
In fact, by far Ben Rachel-Nokani was arguably the most enthusiastic mage that Punk had ever met, at least the mages that Punk had known before that, including the spellcasters in Vedrashia's memories and himself, were all cold and arrogant, at most some examples of madness, but he had never seen a mage like Ben Rachel who "came from all over the world is a guest, and friends from afar are happy".
However, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, in any case, Ben Rachel-Nokani is also a master caster with the same status as punk, and he is one level higher than punk in terms of casting level, and now that people have greeted him politely, punk doesn't mind a welcome sentence that is not salty or light to express politeness:
"Hello, Master Nokane, it's a pleasure to meet you".
Punk said hello with a blank face, but since Punk didn't say he was happy now, it was up to the public to see if he seemed to be happy.
But Ben Rachel apparently didn't care about this, and said to Punk with a smile on his face:
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm a very hospitable person, I wanted to have a treat as early as the first day you came, but I forgot about it as soon as I got busy, you must go to my magic tower to sit today, it just so happened that I just bought a few "wonderful firelight" tea the day before yesterday, you must try it"!
"No, let's talk about it next time, I think it's better to complete the deal of Minnison Alloy now when it's convenient."
The punk quietly declined Ben Rachel's invitation.
"Don't, those Minison alloys are in the basement, it's not too late to do those research after a drink, let me tell you, the old man has a lot of things to talk about, and those exchange point system of Truth Thoughts has made everyone so angry, it's really boring."
"Exchange Point"?
The punk automatically ignores Ben Rachel's useless nonsense, and in this passage of Ben Rachel, the first half and the second half are very normal and unnutritious politeness, except for the sudden mention of an exchange point in the middle that is very abrupt.
"It's funny, it doesn't look like this guy is a good guy, I have to see what this guy has to say before I go into the magic tower."
Punk immediately understood that Ben Rachel's drunkard was not meant to drink, and it was clear that the enthusiastic fat old man must have something shady to talk to Punk, and from an inexplicable discourse, it was eighty percent related to the exchange point.
Curious, Punk didn't continue to cling to it, and simply followed Ben Rachel into the reception hall of the Magic Tower.
The reception hall of the Magic Tower of Ben Rachel is not at all in line with the style of the mage, the large carvings painted on the wall are not magic runes at all, just a bunch of murals decorated with diamonds, the tables in the hall are also in the style of finely carved artworks, and there are three lightly dressed girls standing on both sides of the wall, and the pure gold floor that can even reflect the **** of these three girls is full of a nouveau riche luxury.
The only thing that is desirable about this hall is that it is indeed specially used to entertain guests, and the entire hall is stunned by the absence of any magic items, let alone dangerous magic fluctuations, which is still very good in terms of sincerity............ Of course, punk wouldn't have come in if it weren't for that.
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go and bring over the best "Wonderful Firelight" tea, and hurry up and bring the four fox girls I bought a few days ago, don't you see that there are guests coming, how can I have such a stupid apprentice as you!"
Bin Rachel, who walked into the hall side by side with Punk, shouted at the panicked girls, and it was not difficult to tell from Ben Rachel's words that the girls he was calling around as servants were his apprentices.
The reprimanded female apprentices did not complain, and they all hurried to the side door of the hall like fried kittens to prepare for the guests' snacks.
After seeing this, neither the punk nor Ben Rachel, who had already given the order loudly, showed any special reaction.
In fact, this situation is actually very common in the world of mages, generally speaking, the relationship between apprentices and mentors is mostly only a little better than the relationship between masters and slaves, and mages generally pursue the choice of "even if they don't make money or lose" when they spend energy and resources on apprentices to invest, so in a neutral law organization like Truth Thoughts, it is normal for the mentor to treat the apprentice as a servant.
Needless to say in the evil organization, the apprentice is completely equivalent to a living guinea pig!
It seemed that these apprentices could become the apprentices of a master powerhouse, even if only in name, they were at least clever, and in less than three minutes, the golden table in front of Punk and Ben Rachel was filled with a fragrant, ruddy tea.
"Hurry up and try it, this is a first-class "wonderful firelight" black tea, most of the "wonderful firelight" on the market now are fakes filled with "hot bracken", there is no special way, don't want to buy the original product at all."
Ben Rachel-Nokani spoke with a mouthful of words as he carefully picked up the delicate teacup.
"Special door?"?
Punk didn't take his tea, he frowned slightly at the fat old man who had a big grin on the surface, this was the second hint from Ben Rachel, and now, Punk felt like he had almost guessed the purpose of the guy's sudden invitation.
