58. Black Castle
No one cared what happened to those two trolls, especially when it came to a powerful and grumpy mage, and perhaps the polluted creatures living in the sewers would be happy, and the trolls' sheer size meant they could enjoy a good meal for the next few days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, since he has arrived safely in Fair, this kind of thing has happened, both Toth and the caravan leader have plans to separate from each other, especially for the leader, it is extremely dangerous to get too close to a mage who is obviously targeted, and not to get too close to danger is the reason why his caravan can exist to this day and become slightly famous.
As for the fact that there are no resistance when encountering a mage, it sounds like a miserable life, in fact, the entire Yerevan human mage, including all kinds of wizards and warlocks and other magic practitioners, is only more than 200,000, compared to the total population of 3.8 billion, it is really not a large number, not to mention that less than a tenth of these 200,000 mages can do what they said above.
"That's true, but that scroll should be worth more than twice the price of those two fools, right?"
The woman's voice came from behind, and Toth, who was walking in front, turned pale, and he knew that this sentence that sounded sarcastic was a thorough question, starting from the very meeting with Belmar, but in less than two weeks, this guy had completed the perfect transformation from a cold goddess to a curious baby now, retreat.
And, if she catches you trying to ignore the question, be prepared for a storm of questions.
"If you have a simple expectation calculation, you can easily judge which one to choose if you spend a lot of money or use a small price but have a high probability of causing greater losses, and the expected value of the former is less than that of the latter. Toth paused to say that he had subconsciously ignored the source of his knowledge about mathematical expectations.
Sure enough, a look of bewilderment appeared on Celia's face, and when she was about to speak, Thoth's face was bitter, and then his eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at the guide who had stopped and waited for them, and after the little commotion at the arch, there appeared several so-called guides, and this slightly rickety, thin old woman, with a humble appearance, could hardly find a single flaw - as another tempter, this was rare, at least better than those who could see through it at a glance.
After a moment's thought, he took out the magic book from his bosom and threw it to Celia: "Almost everything you want to know is here." ”
The magic book, which was only the size of a coin, grew in size almost at the same time as it was taken out, at least, from the perspective of others, the magic book was so big when it was taken out, this size, it was impossible to hide it in clothes, space magic, camouflaged weakness? Thoth didn't ask how much such an act could help, even if it was just a small misdirection.
"Well, you better take us to your master. After passing by the same intersection for the third time, looking at the peel that was thrown on the ground by Celia, Toth patted the guy who had been walking in front, and in the latter's slightly frightened gaze, he sighed and shook his head and said, I can't see the sun, but I can roughly judge the direction according to the position of the windows of the surrounding buildings, and then calculate the stride length, and then the delicate detour behavior, it is still too obvious in the eyes of the mage who is good at memory, but it seems that Celia is the only one who dares to eat in the open air in the city of Fiel.
Eventually, after all the twists and turns, what appeared in front of Toth was a huge garden full of sunflowers, and in the middle of the garden, the castle?
In Fair, there are too many such situations, unrestrained space folds everywhere, and even from the map, the western continental border is sunken from the city into a crescent, and it is expanding year by year, and the environmental damage of the city to Yerevan is reflected in all aspects.
The road to the castle is straight, but Toth feels extremely rugged, and Celia also closes the book, revealing a serious look that has not been seen for a long time, it is worth mentioning that "long absence" is used on Thoth, in the eyes of outsiders, a powerful warlock named Celia has always had this look, and many times Celia asks questions, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is Toth who is there to ask and answer himself.
The old woman who was secretly observing saw the hesitation on Thoth's face, and couldn't help but look down on it a little, no matter how he performed before, in the end, it was only more than ten years of experience, so powerful but not famous, no fame means that he has not been to many places, he has not seen examples, everything stops at theory - no matter how he shows his strength, it is just to hide the fragility behind it.
"I'm very sorry, honored guest, for there are always fellows who have tried to disturb our benevolent host, and these arrangements have to be made, and the host will apologize to you himself later, so please keep up with me. The stealthy wind blade beeped once more across Toth's face, and before he could express his displeasure, the old woman, who claimed to be the housekeeper, made Toth uncomfortable when he entered the garden.
It's just that when the more insidious "defense" means appeared again, it accidentally crashed into Thoth, which was obviously not the original intention of the attacker, and at the same time, the magic counterattack that should not have appeared appeared at the moment when Thoth was attacked, and without deliberate control, the slightly out of control magic ball destroyed at least a quarter of the sunflowers, and rushed to the southeast high in the air, igniting a large area of poisonous fog - the gap was not big, but at least the sun shone on this slightly gloomy castle again.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to remove the defensive spell on my body, and I always have to be a little wary when I travel outside," Toth, who was in a good mood, looked at the sunflowers that were looking up a little hard, and could see that they hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time, but unfortunately, Toth didn't see the expression of hope on the butler's face, and said with a slight mockery: "However, aren't you angry that you have caused such a big damage?"
"Honored guest, this was our negligence, and my master has commanded that if you come on your own initiative, then you will be the same master of this castle to us, and as a servant you should not be angry about it, but only praise your strength. After speaking, he bowed deeply, and his attitude was very humble, but the cold light in his eyes had already betrayed her, and at the moment of counterattack, Toth seemed to see a pair of eyes that did not belong to human.
The butler who exceeded her expectations tried to make Toth pretend to forget the "little arrangement" outside the specifications with humble words, but she was going to be disappointed.
"Tell me about your master's name, butler, from the trolls at the beginning, to the blocking of us from entering the core of the city, to the endless temptations, this is your master's hospitality?"
The sudden attack made it difficult for the old woman who claimed to be a slave to resist.
"Invite distinguished guests, but many temptations, it is indeed mine is not, it's just that there are many doubts to ask, it is really a last resort, this old housekeeper who has been with me for most of his life, has been a day less than a day, if you really want to investigate, please also enter the hall, I will personally make amends for him, don't have to meet with an old guy. The hoarse voice blocked Thoth's sudden attack, and the timing was just right.
Toth is not a wizard, and he can't do anything to ask his master to kill the butler, after all, the butler can be said to be the most loyal person to them in this world.
The owner of the castle personally invited, the weirdness on the path disappeared, and Toth did not shirk it again, although no matter how much this kind of castle was arranged, it did not have the conditions to restrain the legendary mage, and in a place where others had been operating for many years, it was better to converge.
