Chapter 19: A Deal

In the magic shop, as soon as he entered the door, William felt like he had walked into a general store, full of goods, piled up in a mess, everywhere, crammed into the whole room, slightly crowded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the counter opposite William and Master Rhine, there was a magic crystal lamp, emitting a soft pale blue light.

A young man about William's age was boredly flipping through an illustration book in the pale blue light.

William looked at the young man, who also spotted William and Master Rhine.

Seeing that the business came to the door, the young man immediately closed the illustration book, and a signature smile appeared on his face, "Two distinguished guests, what do you need to buy? ”

William didn't speak, but Master Rhein walked over to the counter, he reached out and knocked on the counter table, coughing, "Kova, remember me? I was here last year when it snowed heavily. Where's your teacher?"

The young man was puzzled. He looked at Master Rhine carefully, and suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Mr. Master Rhine." My teacher was sleeping on the second floor, so I woke him up. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he picked up a small hammer on the counter and rang the bell.

"Ding Ding Ding..."

A crisp bell rang after being amplified by the magic crystal, and it reached the second floor.

William looked around, but saw no ladder anywhere. Just as he was puzzled, there was a 'bang', and a wooden plank above his head opened, and a small wooden ladder extended.

At the same time, there was also an extremely dissatisfied voice, which passed down: "Kova, didn't I warn you, don't disturb my nap if it's okay, if there's nothing important, I'll definitely kick you out!" ”

An old man with shaggy hair and disheveled clothes walked down the wooden ladder with dissatisfaction, buttoning the buttons on his trousers as he went.

"Old Jones, did you go to the prostitute again last night?" said Master Rhein's smile.

As soon as these words came out, the sleepiness on the old man's face suddenly woke up seven or eight points. He looked downstairs with some confusion, and immediately saw Master Rhine's evil smile, and was stunned: "Why are you here?"

Before he could finish speaking, he realized that there was something wrong with such a question, so old Jones dropped the sentence "Wait for me for a minute", and ran up to the second floor again.

After a while, after redressing, old Jones, who was full of oil, went downstairs again.

"This is my allegiance, Master William. This is Mr. Jones, the owner of this magic shop. ”

Master Rhine eagerly made an introduction.

Old Jones looked at William with some doubts, and he really couldn't think of any place in William's whole body that was worthy of Master Rhine's allegiance.

Regarding the shame of the interrogation, as well as the grip on William's hand, Master Rhine did not explain much, he went straight to the point and said: "This time we came to buy that staff. It's still in your hands, right?"

"Of course it's still there, I've always kept that staff for you, and it's on the second floor. Rhine, have you made another big deal recently, otherwise how could you have collected three thousand gold coins so quickly. ”

Old Jones had a knowing smile on his face.

"Stop talking nonsense, go get what I want. Also, I've washed my hands of that kind of thing, and now I'm completely doing things for my little master. From now on, all the best you know is rotten in your stomach, and no one is allowed to say it. ”

Master Rhine warned with a hint of unhappiness on his face.

"Understood, understood. Wait, I'll go get what you want. ”

Old Jones agreed. He quickly left, and soon brought a slender rectangular wooden box with a simple decoration and a wisp of strange magical textures.

There was a hint of eagerness in Master Rhine's eyes. He stroked the wooden box carefully, looking a little intoxicated, and finally slowly opened the wooden box, glanced inside, quickly closed it, and nodded with satisfaction, "It is indeed what I want." ”

Master Rhine took out a large heavy wooden box from the magic ring, which contained three thousand gold coins.

Old Jones opened the large wooden box, and the pale blue light of the magic crystal lamp shone on the gold coins, refracting a golden light, almost blinding Old Jones's dog eyes.

As the gold coins were gradually counted, the smile on old Jones's face became even worse, and he closed the wooden box: "Brother Rhine, don't hide it from me, you definitely did a big deal, right? I've been a little tight on money lately, how about you lend me some gold coins?"

"Fuck off! there are no gold coins, but there are fists, do you want to?" Master Rhine looked unhappy and refused directly and forcefully.

Old Jones secretly felt sorry for himself.

Master Rhine bought the staff he wanted, and he personally purchased it for William.

In the end, he bought a few magic books that recorded some low-level magic such as fireballs, selected a short wand suitable for a novice magic like William, and a dozen magic scrolls, and spent more than 6,000 gold coins on William.

In just half an hour, it almost cost William a full 10,000 gold coins. I have to say that if you want to learn magic, you really burn money.

"Brother Rhine, welcome to come back next time!"

At the door of the magic shop, old Jones saw off William and Master Rhine.

Old Jones's disciple, the magic apprentice named 'Kova', asked curiously, "Teacher, who are they? Today's transaction alone is enough to cover our income for more than half a year." ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't!"

Old Jones turned his head and glared at his apprentice fiercely, a little dissatisfied in his heart. Just today, his old friend Rhine must have made a big deal, and he borrowed some gold coins from him to spend flowers, but he actually refused, which really made him extremely unhappy.

Standing at the door of the magic shop, old Jones paced back and forth, and a bold idea gradually rose from his mind.

"Kova, you are optimistic about the store, I have an important business to do, I may not be back tonight, you close the store early. Old Jones said, making a clear direction, and strode away without looking back.

At the same time, at the foot of the mountains of the Magic Holy City.

William played with his beloved wand as he walked.

This wand is short and delicate, and the body of the wand is made of rare fire willow wood, and the whole body is red. When you hold it in your hand, you can feel a faint temperature coming from it.

And at the very top of the wand, a dark red gem the size of an egg is inlaid with it, which is completely integrated. William's powerful spiritual power was injected into it, and the dark red gem suddenly turned extremely red, as if there was a flame burning in it.

This wand is called Chiyan, and it is worth 4,000 gold coins, which is better than the new wand that Master Rhine has bought, and can be used by intermediate magicians.

A magician who can cast magic without a wand. For example, the junior magician Rhine, who can unleash fireballs at will without a wand.

However, if the Rhine mage uses a wand and then releases the fireball technique, then the fireball technique will definitely increase greatly through the magic power increase of the wand.

A good wand has many other effects than just the most basic kicker effects.

For example, the Staff of Destruction, one of the ten major artifacts, can not only greatly increase the power of magic, but also help the user control the magic power in detail, and even instantaneously magic, without the need to chant magic spells at all.

William played with the Red Flame Wand, and Mage Rhine watched enviously.

Of course, he was just envious. Even if William gave him the Red Flame Wand, he would not be able to exert the power of the Red Flame Wand at all.

"Mr. Rhein, the guy named Jones, he seems to know your details very well. ”

Using his powerful spiritual power, William put the Red Flame Wand into the Ring of the Dead, one of the ten major artifacts, and suddenly asked out loud.

"Mr. William, are you talking about the old guy in the magic shop just now?"

Master Rhine smiled and said to himself: "Actually, a few years ago, Jones and I had another person, and in order to survive, the three of us often wandered in the chaotic realm of the imperial border, forming a small mercenary group with only the three of us. ”

"At that time, there was no war on the borders of the empire, and although there were some minor frictions between the various ethnic groups, it was relatively peaceful. We rely on the lineup of two junior magicians and a junior fighter, and the days that pass are called a moisturizer, but they are also mixed. ”

"Usually, if there is a task to take, we will take the task to do it, earn gold coins, and then divide it equally. Sometimes, when we really didn't have a task or money, we would copy the guys, cover our faces and be bandits, and specialize in robbing small caravans passing by for trade. ”

Speaking of his past, Master Rhine sighed with some emotion: "Later, I don't know what happened, it seems that because of the problem of fighting for food, a war broke out between the dwarves and the orcs, and our human race was also involved. ”

"The small mercenary group formed by the three of us had to be disbanded, and I returned to Wildfire Town, where the old Jones guy went to the Magic Holy City and opened a magic shop. As for the other junior fighter named Yakto, I haven't been in touch with him since the mercenary group was disbanded. ”

After a pause, Master Rhein explained, "That guy is too dark-hearted, I don't want to have a deep friendship with him, lest one day I be sold by him and don't know." ”

William nodded slowly, not expressing his opinion.

Everyone has the right to make friends, Master Rhine doesn't like Yakto, he doesn't want to have a deep friendship with him, deep down in his heart, how can he be willing to be friends with someone like Master Rhine?

After all, Rhine was a junior magician, and he recruited him by himself, so he didn't use his ingredients in it.

Don't look at Master Rhein's respectful appearance, maybe he still wants to be on his thighs in his heart, and he just likes the large amount of gold coins he has earned in his beer business.
