Chapter 181: The Old Mage and the Cat

Soon, they arrived at the nearest town, Hanktown. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They came to the inn, settled down for the time being, and prepared to renovate here, buy daily necessities for those who should buy daily necessities, and inquire about the news of those who should inquire about the news. There are also many mages who said that they have finally escaped from the bitter sea of the Hori Kingdom and no longer have to worry about being caught by the people of the church, so they have to sleep well in the inn and have a good rest.

Benjamin also felt a little emotional.

It can be regarded as having escaped from the kingdom of Hori, and now, they are in a small town in the territory of Ikor, and even if the bishop stationed at the gate hates him, it is impossible to pursue him.

Therefore, when they entered Hank's Town, they did not hide as before, but walked into the town openly. Under the eyes of others, they no longer try to disguise their mage status and freely discuss what they want to discuss. It was like a heavy burden off my shoulders and I was finally free to breathe fresh air.

They weren't worried about the queen finding out about them - they were still in Ikor, and such a large group couldn't hide, and the queen would find them if she wanted to. Therefore, they simply let their mood go and follow what others think.

And the people of Hanktown didn't show much surprise because of their appearance.

Those who should pass by are still passing by, those who should go out are still going out, and even, someone came up and asked, "Master Mage, we just got a batch of fresh Warcraft materials in our store, do you want to take a look?"

Although they didn't know what such things were useful for, the usual attitude of the others towards mages still made them feel very comfortable.

At the same time, Benjamin saw the kind of shop that was dedicated to mages.

"Moore's Magic Shop", that's the name of the shop, and it sounds like some fantasy-themed café. However, out of curiosity about the magical knowledge of the outside world, Benjamin came to the door of the store and walked in without resting for a while after putting down his luggage.

Contrary to the mysterious and gloomy imagination, the shop is no different from other shops, clean and brightly lit, but it is a bit like a kind of food department store, except that the things sold in this place are some strange-looking plants and animal stumps.

Benjamin looked at it at a glance, and he was greeted by colorful flowers and plants, bloody flesh, claws that didn't know what they were, strangely shaped bones, and even a pair of huge eyes, which made him feel a little hairy in his heart.

Mages abroad deal with these things all day long?

"What do you want, Master Mage?" Soon, a very young-looking clerk greeted him and asked Benjamin enthusiastically.

"Well...... "Benjamin thought for a moment, and said, "I'd like to ask, do you have anything else to sell here besides these materials? preferably something like a book on magic." ”

He didn't come here to buy some strange magical beast materials, and he didn't know how to use them after buying them - for them at this moment, the most important thing was to understand the situation of the magic circle here.

Hearing this, the clerk showed a surprised expression and said, "If you want to ask our boss about this, these things are only available to mages." There are several mages in the town, and only our boss didn't go out today. ”

"Where's your boss, can you take me to him?" asked Benjamin at once.

The clerk's expression looked a little strange, but after a moment's hesitation, he nodded and led Benjamin to the back door of the store.

Soon, they came to the back door. The clerk stopped, knocked on the door a little fearfully, and whispered inside, "Boss, there is a mage who wants to visit you." ”

There was silence for a while, and then an old voice came from inside, which seemed to be full of phlegm, and said, "Let him in." ”

Benjamin was a little startled by the voice. Not to mention anything else, just this voice is really like the evil and mysterious old wizard in the movie, hiding in a small dark room every day to experiment with living people and the like.

Moreover, looking at the performance of this clerk, it seems that he is afraid of this mage.

I don't know what these mages will be like.

With that in mind, he pushed the door open and walked in. However, after entering the door, he was a little stunned to find that the world behind the door was very different from the scene he had made up in his head.

It was a fairly spacious room with messy furniture. Beds, tables, cages, cradles...... There are all sorts of small objects, dazzling, but there is hardly anything to be found that seems to be related to magic. At first glance, one would not think that this was a room belonging to a mage.

And, more importantly - all the furniture here is pink.

Pink tables and chairs, pink cabinets, and pink printed sheets, Benjamin entered the room, thinking that he had entered some other dimensional girl's world. And the most devastating thing is that the owner of this room is the old man who is squatting by the wall in his pajamas.

When Benjamin walked into the room, the old man was holding a fluffy stick in his hand and with a foolish smile on his face, teasing a chubby, yellow and white flower cat in the pink cradle.

No matter who it is, such a picture is extremely shocking.

"This ...... Senior, hello for the first time. ”

Benjamin's whole person was a little confused, as if he had passed through the dream of his former boss's "Balala energy" and shone into reality, and the strong impact made his stomach can't help but start churning a little. However, he still endured this somewhat complicated feeling, and spoke, so to speak.

Hearing this, the smile on the old man's face disappeared, turned his head, looked at Benjamin fiercely, and said, "Stinky boy, if there is anything, just say it, don't disturb my dearest Miss Mona Lisa." ”

After saying that, he turned his head back and faced the cat rolling in the cradle again, his fierce expression disappeared in an instant, and his face was full of wrinkles and smiled like a chrysanthemum.

“......”

Benjamin felt like his blood trough was about to bottom out.

"Don't you have anything to say in the face of this situation?" he couldn't help but ask the system in his heart.

"What's this. The system's voice sounded unusually calm, "After seeing the picture of the drinking party Grant making a base, my eyes have long been blind, how could I lose my square inch because of this little wind and waves?"

“...... You win. ”

After experiencing the buffer of dialogue with the system in his heart, Benjamin took a deep breath and felt that everything in front of him was not so difficult to accept. So, he reorganized the language he had just been shaken apart, spoke, and said calmly:

"I'd like to ask, are there any magic-related books here that I can buy?"

Hearing this, the old man turned around, and his old face looked even more stinky: "Boy, go back and tell you the boss of the Mage Guild, don't try to cheat me out of this recipe." If he really wants to, unless he changes the recipe for the 'Water of the First Origin' with me, ah, don't waste my time here. ”

Benjamin was confused.

...... What's that?

"I'm not from the Mage Guild. After thinking about it, his voice sank as well, and he said, "Actually, if you can tell me what the Mage Guild is all about, I'll just turn around and leave, and I won't waste any of your time." ”

"Wait......" The old man's expression suddenly became a little strange, "You don't even know what the Mage Guild is all about?

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said, "What am I lying to you for? I just escaped from the Kingdom of Hori and don't know anything about the wizarding world outside. I've never heard of a mage guild in the kingdom. ”

Suddenly, the old man's expression changed again.

He finally turned his interest away from the cat in the cradle, and looked around Benjamin, left and right, and from time to time his mouth made a "tsk" sound, as if he was watching a giant panda in a zoo.

And Benjamin, as an "animal" to be watched, doesn't feel very good.

"What's so strange about that?" he sighed, a little helpless.

"Isn't that surprising? The mage who escaped from the Sacred Shit Kingdom hasn't been seen in years. The old man said this, and suddenly, as if thinking of something, he added, "However, there seems to have been some accident at the gate recently, so you must have taken that opportunity to escape." ”

I'm sorry, but we caused the accident......

Benjamin wanted to say this, but it seemed a bit too arrogant, and the other party might not believe it. Therefore, in the end, he could only nod helplessly.

"The mage who escaped from the Sacred Shit Kingdom......" Seeing this, the old man's tone sounded even more surprised, and even a little surprised, "So, you are an adventure mage?"
