Chapter 302: Mysterious Hire
Ryan stood in the still-standing crowd, listening to the conversation, and after a few moments, he had some useful information, but it wasn't enough.
The crowd dispersed, but Ryan didn't leave, he grabbed one of the loudest discussant magic apprentices and asked, "Friend, can I ask you some questions?" ”
"Your Excellency the Magician, what can I do for you?" Seeing that Ryan was dressed as a level 1 magician, although Ryan's language was a little abrupt, this young magic apprentice did not dare to slack off at all, and his attitude was very respectful.
"Do you know that the magic teleportation array of the Magic Association of West Safin City can be used by individuals?" Ryan was not polite and asked straight to the point of the question.
Unexpectedly, the magic apprentice did not answer immediately, but looked at Ryan with very surprised eyes, and then asked curiously, "Your Excellency is from another country, right?" ”
Suddenly Ryan was also a little surprised, he couldn't think of a random question of his own, revealing that he was not from the Odoli Empire, obviously, this question should be known to many people, only a magician like Ryan who has just arrived in the Odoli Empire would ask this question. However, Ryan was not embarrassed, he said frankly: "Yes, I just re-evaluated the magicians of the Ottoli Empire today. ”
The young magic apprentice had a look on his face that he had known this for, and then he gushed about the magic teleportation array to Ryan. After a few moments, Ryan finally had a general understanding of the magic teleportation array.
It turned out that the magic system of the Odoli Empire was very developed, and they established magic teleportation arrays in the magic associations of many large cities. The purpose is to facilitate the transportation of personnel in the event of an emergency.
However, due to the complexity of the magic teleportation array, the structure is too mysterious, and the magic materials used in the construction are too precious, except for the Odoli Empire, which has extremely strong magical strength. There are not many magic teleportation arrays that have been made public in other countries. Of course, if there is no magic teleportation array that has not been made public, I don't know how many there are, but it is certain that there must not be many of them. This also led to the fact that since Ryan had been cultivating magic for so long, he had only heard the name of the magic teleportation array, and he had not seen it at all, and he had not even heard anyone discuss it.
Building a magical teleportation array is very difficult. If the transmission is very convenient, then it stands to reason that the utilization rate should be very high, bringing convenience to countless people. However, the truth is cruel, not only is it very difficult to build a magic teleportation array. And every time you use it, it's very expensive. Each time the magic teleportation array is opened, depending on the length of the distance and the number of people teleported, different levels of magic crystal nuclei are required. For example, if the third prince wanted the three of them to teleport back to the distant imperial capital, he had to use several level 6 magic crystal nuclei.
Level 6 Magic Crystal Nuclei are very expensive, with one worth more than thousands of gold coins. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to have a level 6 magic crystal nucleus, and even if they have the ability to possess a level 6 magic crystal nucleus, they are generally reluctant to take out a few random ones as an energy source for magic teleportation. Even high-level magicians who have more Warcraft materials and more wealth are equally reluctant. Only the royal family with deep pockets and countless resources. Only then can you not take the level 6 magic crystal nucleus as a thing, and use it as an energy source for magic teleportation.
Therefore. Usually, the magic teleportation array of the Magic Association is idle, and it is only when it is necessary to use it urgently. Or when someone provides a level 6 magic crystal nucleus and asks for it, the Magic Association will open it for use. Of course, it also depends on who it is, such as Ryan, even if he is willing to take out the only few level 6 Warcraft crystal nuclei on his body, the Magic Association may not be willing to let an unknown person like Ryan use it.
After learning about the magic teleportation array, Ryan smiled bitterly and ignored it. Because the use of the magic teleportation array was too expensive, Ryan was reluctant to use it at all.
At this time, all the people gathered at the gate dispersed, and Ryan stepped out of the door of the Magic Association and left.
Ryan stepped out of the door and found that there were more people outside the door than before, and Ryan didn't care. The movement made by the third prince just now also attracted people outside to gather and watch.
However, Ryan didn't take two steps before he was stopped by a man.
"Who dares to stand in my way? It can't be a robbery, right? Ryan was a little annoyed, and cursed in his heart, carefully looking at the person blocking the road in front of him.
This is a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed as a businessman, not tall, chubby, with a big belly, and a very standard businessman image. The middle-aged businessman has two long, thin beards on his lips, and he is very shrewd, which makes people wary of being deceived.
Ryan didn't speak, just turned slightly sideways and stared at each other with extremely cold eyes. At this moment, Ryan believed that his eyes were full of murderous energy, and he would definitely be able to deter this middle-aged businessman who was blocking the way.
"Greetings to you, Your Excellency the Magician. Hehe...... "This middle-aged merchant named Urafa showed a common smile of merchants, and looked very flattering.
"What's the matter?" In contrast, Ryan appeared very cold and had a very bad attitude.
"Your Excellency the Wizard, I have a well-paid employment assignment, I wonder if you are interested in the next?" Seeing Ryan's expression that he might turn his face at any time, Urafa didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stated his purpose to attract Ryan's curiosity.
Sure enough, as soon as Ryan heard about the high-paying hiring assignment, he immediately became interested. Although he sold a lot of Warcraft materials before, he got a large amount of gold coins. But then when I bought items such as magic secrets, I spent half of my net worth at once. This made Rui An's pain and began to think about how to make money. So now that he heard that there was an opportunity to make money, Ryan was naturally very interested, but he was still very vigilant in the face of this sudden businessman.
"Oh, let's hear it." Ryan's tone didn't show much urgency, as if he was just listening.
"Your Excellency the Wizard, do you have any magic storage bags?" To his surprise, Urafa did not immediately say what he requested, but asked.
"Yes." Ryan only hesitated for a moment, and then gave an affirmative answer, in a big city like West Satin City, Ryan was not worried about the other party's bad intentions. Moreover, the Ottoli Empire is different from other countries, there are many more resources, and magicians also have a lot of money, so it is an indisputable fact that the magic props of the magic storage bag cannot be one for every magician, but most people have it.
"Your Excellency the Wizard, I would like to hire you to bring something to Figa City." Urafa's attitude remained respectful, making it impossible to find fault with it.
"What's that?"
Urafa took out a wooden box from the baggage behind him, stretched it out in front of Ryan, and said, "This is the wooden box that can be placed in your magic storage bag." ”
Ryan didn't reach out to take it, just looked at it carefully. The wooden box is a square wooden box two feet long and one foot wide, and the style is very ordinary, except that it can be seen that it has been some years old, there is nothing special about it. The only thing that was unusual was that the wooden box was tightly closed and locked with an iron lock. However, this lock looks very ordinary, it seems to be easy to be picked open, and it is very thin, if you use a sword to cut it, Ryan is confident that he can cut the iron lock with a sword.
"What's in there?" Ryan asked casually, and in his opinion, Urafa would definitely answer.
Unexpectedly, Urafa immediately refused: "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you what is here." ”
Suddenly, Ryan frowned, and at this moment, he was deeply suspicious.
Seeing that Ryan seemed to be about to refuse, Urafa immediately said, "Your Excellency the Magician, if you accept this mercenary assignment, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins. ”
In an instant, Ryan frowned and turned into a shock in his heart, a thousand gold coins, but a lot of money!
Such a large sum of money is enough to hire a strong team of mercenaries, but why do you want to find a magician with the strength of a level 1 magician? Is it because the magician has a magic storage bag? This doesn't make sense, and it's even more puzzling.
Ryan thought about it, this mercenary assignment was very mysterious, even very weird. No matter what you think, it is impossible for this merchant named Urafa to hand over the task of a large amount of gold coins to a magician who knows no details and does not seem to be strong? But what is his purpose?
Ryan really wanted to earn the thousand gold coins, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally refused the hire assignment just to be on the safe side.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to the Imperial Capital, and I don't have time to go to Feijia City, so I can't accept this mercenary assignment." In the face of the other party's consistent respect, Ryan's face softened and became polite.
"Your Excellency Honorable Magician, Feijia City is near the Imperial Capital, and if you go to the Imperial Capital, you must pass through Feijia City, so you will only complete this mercenary task by the way, and it will not hinder you from time." Urafa said with a smile.
Ryan was stunned, he had purchased the map before, but he didn't have time to look at it carefully, and he didn't know that Feiga City was near the imperial capital, so Ryan's excuse didn't hold up.
Ryan was slightly embarrassed, he wanted to refuse the other party, but he couldn't say that I was afraid that Ling would have some tricks to harm people, so I didn't dare to take over Ling's hiring task. However, if you don't say why you refuse directly, Ruixin has some reluctance. In other words, Ryan is looking for an excuse to reject the other party, but in fact he is looking for an excuse that can convince himself, so as not to be unwilling.
After a while, Ryan refused again: "I'm sorry, the commission for this task is too small, only a thousand gold coins, not enough." ”
This is also an excuse, Ryan can convince himself of an excuse, according to Ryan's idea, the other party will definitely brush up when he hears it. (To be continued.) )
