004: No exceptions
Luo Xi took out the small bag prepared in advance, released it, and poured out all the 36 cat-faced mushrooms inside: "These are the ones I found before, and I was going to sell them in Tailless Alley." ”
Tailless Alley is a trading area under the control of the Blacktower, which supplies all wizards on the Wizarding Continent for resource exchange, similar to Diagon Alley in Harry Potter.
Clark picked up a cat-faced mushroom with his fingers and glanced at it, and his eyes widened suddenly: "120-year-old cat-faced mushroom, where did you find it?"
"I'm sorry. Roshi shook his head decisively
"Oh, that's rude. Only then did Clark realize that he had asked a privacy question that he shouldn't have asked, which had violated the principle of equivalent exchange.
After a pause, he frowned and thought for a moment, and said without hesitation: "I'm very interested in these cat-faced mushrooms, but I don't have so many low-level meditation potions on me. ”
The Cat's Face Mushroom is a very good auxiliary material, which can be used in a variety of potion configurations, but it is basically not available in the Northland continent, and the meditation potion Black Tower will give their contacts enough quota every time.
"And how many years do you have here?" Roshi asked quickly
"I've only had eight years here. Clark gave the answer, he also needed to maintain his cultivation.
After a pause, Clark added: "In addition to this, I have a soul gem worth 400 pesos, and as for the remaining 320 pesos, can I give you pesos, or do you need other trading chips?"
The market price of a 120-year-old cat-faced mushroom is 100 pesos, while a low-grade meditation potion for a month is 30 pesos, which Roshi had calculated precisely before he came here.
"Yes. Although it was a bit different from what he expected, Roshi was so happy with how things turned out, and he nodded and happily accepted the deal.
After a pause, Roshi said, "I also need a volume of spell models, preferably elemental. ”
"With me, 320 pesos can't buy a complete spell model. Clark shook his head, and continued, "But I have a copy of the Elemental Basics here, which mainly explains the basic construction of the model, and if you are interested in elemental spells, this can help you." ”
"Yes. Roshi nodded.
Then, Clark ordered someone to take a wooden box from the warehouse, which was divided into three layers with cloth, cotton wool and wooden boards, and each layer contained 64 meditation potions, in addition to a black gem, and a book, and the two sides successfully completed the transaction.
Clark seemed to be in a good mood, and after the trade was over, he handed Roshi an invitation: "Lord Merlin, do you want to stay for dinner?" The king of Regghilar just sent me some nice bottles of wine. ”
"The Kingdom of Riggira?"
Roshi wondered, "Didn't I hear that they were at war with the Kingdom of Pru recently? Could it be that Lord Count Clark is ready to help the Kingdom of Reggira?"
The recent war between the kingdoms of Reggila and the kingdoms of Prussia, and the flames seem to be about to reach the city of Khakir, and many people have begun to flee the streets with their families recently, and there is an atmosphere of chaos throughout the city.
"Help? No, no, no. Clark shook his head: "The liaison will not interfere with the development of the mortal world, but the people here don't believe in my attitude, mortals are like this, they always feel that the rules are to be trampled on." ”
The liaison has been rooted for so long, and naturally it has some intersection with the upper class of the mortal world, and for such a powerful and mysterious force as wizards, every country will make a move to woo them, even if they can't convince wizards to help themselves, at least they must ensure that they don't help their enemies.
"Da-da-da-da. ”
At this moment, there was a sound of neat and powerful footsteps in the corridor outside the door, accompanied by the clanging sound of metal rubbing.
Roshi, who had just arrived in the hallway with Clark, saw a group of brightly armored knights approaching him, and between them two knights dragged a young girl.
"Master Clark. The team of knights paused in front of Clark, and a heroic knight in his thirties spoke: "I need a little help from you, this criminal is more tenacious than expected, we can only go all out, and I am afraid that she will not last ten years." ”
"To live?" Clark asked
"To live. The knight nodded
"Okay, I got it. Clark then walked over and tore open his robe to examine the wound, and said, "Let Domi go to the warehouse, and take Morgan Recovery Potions for her on the fourth rack on the left." ”
"Yes. ”
Clark left with the girl.
When he passed by Roshi, he observed the girl's face up close, and what impressed him deeply was the girl's misery at this time.
He looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he had passed out, tightly bound by a robe covered in blood and scars, his slender hands were trapped by the ropes, and his legs looked to have been broken, revealing the white bones below, dragging him all the way to leave two long blood marks in the hallway.
Morgan's recovery potion Roshi knew that there was no way to heal such an injury, only to maintain her most basic vital signs, and even still have to endure this painful torture.
Luo Xi felt mental fluctuations from this girl, and she already knew her identity in her heart, but she still subconsciously opened her mouth, and couldn't help asking, "This girl is..."
"Criminals. Clark gave an answer that Roshi least wanted to hear.
After a pause, Clark glanced over there again, and then said to himself: "Sillett's operation efficiency this time is quite good, I remember that this little girl's wanted warrant was only issued three years ago, right?"
"Three years, I've been on the run for a long time. Roshi chimed in to hide the panic in his heart.
"Three years is nothing. Clark shook his head: "There are a lot of wanted criminals who have fled here for decades, and there are not a few who have fled for hundreds of years, and the longest record of fugitives is more than two hundred years. ”
Roxi's heart sank slightly, and he pretended to be surprised and asked, "They all fled to Northland, and after fleeing for so long, the Black Tower can also capture them back?"
"Of course!" said Clarke, rightly, "it's ridiculous that there was once a criminal hiding in the belly of a whale thinking he could get away with us." ”
The following simple passage easily made Luo Xi a clean pregnancy of the good mood he had established during this time.
Clark said affirmatively: "In this world, as long as they are criminals who break the rules of the Black Tower, no matter where they flee, no matter how long they have fled, the Black Tower will always find them, without exception!"
