Chapter 254: The Apothecary Mage Who Talked

When gangsters do things, they generally don't have the concept of taking a long-term view. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The day after Benjamin and his party moved into their new home, Benjamin woke up from his bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and heard a few early mages talking about what was happening in Riley in the hallway.

“...... It seems to be quite a big fuss. ”

"Luckily, that place was far away from us and didn't affect us. ”

"It's fun, let's go check it out later......"

Benjamin yawned and sat up on the bed, relieving himself from the fog he had just woken up. After thinking about it, he brushed his messy hair, opened the door, and walked out.

"What's going on?" he asked, standing in the doorway, to a few mages in the hallway.

"Mr. Benjamin, why did you wake up?" said Joanna, beckoning to him, "something big happened last night. On the north side of the city, it is said that a small sect has been attacked and several houses have been burned. Reputedly...... What gang feud is causing it. ”

...... Small Sects?Gang Feuds?

As if he had thought of something, at that moment, Benjamin's whole body suddenly became energetic and sleepy.

"The small sect that was attacked couldn't be the one in the Mohan Street area?" he asked tentatively.

Hearing this, several mages nodded in surprise.

"Mr. Benjamin, how do you know?" asked Andy curiously.

"I ...... I heard some rumors before. Saying that, Benjamin hesitated for a moment, and then quickly added, "We'd better not get involved in this matter." Remember to inform everyone to be careful and not to go near that area. ”

The mages were a little confused, but nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, a few mages in the corridor went to have breakfast while chatting. Taking a deep breath, Benjamin's expression suddenly became a little solemn, and he turned around and returned to his room.

Gang Feud ......

Needless to say, the mages were talking about something that had nothing to do with the struggle between the "crows" and the "eagles". But what he didn't understand was why the sect had been attacked after he had killed Johnny.

What happened?

And, the most critical question is, which gang carried out the attack? "Crow" or "Eagle"?

Different answers represent very different states of affairs and meanings.

Benjamin would love to get dressed now and go over and inquire about the situation. Still, he held back. It's happened, and the eyes of the whole of Riley City must be drawn to it. In order not to arouse suspicion, it was better for him to be a new transparent mage who moved in, and not to go near the area and show any horses' feet.

At the very least, he'll have to wait for the limelight to pass before he goes to Jessica.

With that, resuming the appearance that nothing had happened, Benjamin put the matter aside, washed up, had breakfast, and began to continue the construction of their new home, which had not yet been completed.

In the past, meals were cooked by the more skilled mages in the team. But in reality, being in charge of three meals for more than 20 people takes up a lot of meditation time. Coupled with this new home, the daily cleaning will also be very laborious. Therefore, Benjamin intended to hire several servants.

It is a pity that the world is neither backward enough to have a slave market, nor advanced enough to develop domestic companies. The domestic service is basically carried out through acquaintances.

He didn't have any acquaintances in that area.

Yes...... If only Jeremy had been brought along.

After thinking about it, Benjamin could only learn from the general store recruitment, wrote a few job postings, and posted them in a more conspicuous place nearby, hoping that someone would see it.

He then left the street and went to the nearest potions shop to buy some better alchemy equipment.

Pity......

"I'm sorry, Master Mage, but we only sell finished potions here. The clerk told him with a smile.

"Do you know where such things are sold?" asked Benjamin again.

"If you need it, you can go to the nearby blacksmith shop and make your own. The clerk spread his hands and said, "But if you want the better one, you can only try to negotiate with other mages." ”

Benjamin was speechless.

Go to the blacksmith shop to make a ...... What's the difference between that and taking an iron pot and refining medicine directly?

It seems that a series of industries about mages here have not been developed, which makes the entire mage circle mysterious, and there is no mature and perfect system, and the work and life of mages are very inconvenient.

I don't know why......

Just as Benjamin shook his head in disappointment and was about to leave, suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind and stopped him.

"Excuse me...... Your Excellency, do you want to acquire a medicine refining tool?"

Benjamin turned around and saw a man who looked a little cowering, standing at the door of the store at the moment, staring at him with a puzzled look and a little wariness.

Suddenly, Benjamin came to his senses.

"Do you have it?"

"Yes, I ...... I'm an apothecary, so of course I have that tool in my hand. The man hesitated, as if reluctant to strike up a conversation with Benjamin, but there was some difficulty that compelled him to come up and talk.

Benjamin couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise when he heard this.

Not only could he buy things, but more importantly, he met the first mage of Riley City by chance.

"Hello, my name is Benjamin, and I am a mage who has just arrived in Riley City, and it is a pleasure to meet you. So he smiled, stepped forward, and held out his hand in a friendly manner.

"Ah...... I, no, don't you want a tool for refining medicine?"

Seeing this, Benjamin had no choice but to withdraw his hand, nodded, and said, "Yes, what kind of tools do you have?

The man scratched his head and said, "I didn't have it with me, but ...... But rest assured, it is specially designed to increase the success rate and will not lie to you. ”

Benjamin spread his hands: "I have to see things before I can decide whether to buy them or not." ”

Hearing this, the man was silent for a while, and finally, he spoke with some hesitation and said, "Okay, you ...... You come with me, and I'll show you. ”

Benjamin thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Through the perception of spiritual power, this mage's strength is average, and he cannot threaten himself. Therefore, he can follow him boldly with confidence.

In this way, about half an hour later, he followed the strange mage to a relatively remote house in the city.

"That's it...... That's it. Walking into the somewhat cluttered room, he took out a box, opened it, pointed to the contents of the box, and said with some confusion.

Benjamin looked over curiously.

I saw a strange instrument in the box. A spherical hollow glassware, but like a globe, is held in place by an iron frame and can be rolled from side to side. There is a groove under the iron shelf, which seems to be an ignition place where kerosene can be placed. There is also a small opening on the sphere that can be opened and closed freely, probably ...... It is the entrance to the material drop.

Benjamin was a novelty, but also a little confused.

Can this globe-like thing really help increase the success rate of refining?
