Back at the Mage's Tower, Curt sets out to deal with the aftermath. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) He freed the outcasts out of the basement and watched them leave with great gratitude, then pounced like hungry wolves on the corpses of goblins and orcs, looting the loot left behind. The outcasts are only afraid of Curt's power, and if Curt becomes weak, they will surely take the Mage Tower as their own territory. Knowing this, Curt shook his head, feeling that it was a mistake not to send the outcasts into battle seriously.
In the basement, Curt saw the tumbled room, the riot-like scene leading deep underground. He sighed helplessly and decided to clean up later.
Gran respectfully said goodbye to Curt and agreed to visit him shortly. No matter how much Gran cared about his daughter, he also knew that Curt didn't have time to deal with him now. The dwarves smashed open the barrels of ale and drank it from huge wooden cups. A few anxious dwarves even use their helmets as cups, or simply jump headfirst into the barrels.
These dwarfs are ready to make a big fuss. â
Speechless, Curt walked slowly to the seventh floor, he didn't understand why the dwarves didn't forget to bring spirits with them when they were marching in a hurry. Curt sat down in a chair after entering the mystical research room, placing two captured magic rings and a crystal ball on the table. He gave a lot for today's battle, and now it's time to count the loot.
Through a simple identification, Curt learned that the ring in his hand was a magic ring, capable of storing a spell or magic of level seven or below. The other ring is a space ring, which has a similar effect to a dimensional waist bag. The difference is that the items taken out of the spatial ring will appear directly in the mage's hand, which is a matter of life and death in the heat of battle.
Curt activated the Spatial Ring and pulled out a pair of Boots of Tranquility and a cloak of concealment. These two items are suitable for rangers or thieves, and will greatly enhance their stealth ability. In addition to this, Curt was given a magic bow, a healing staff, and some bizarre spellcasting materials.
Nothing but the healing staff was of any use to Curt. So Curt threw the healing staff back into the spatial ring, and put the rest of the things into the dimensional waist pocket, ready to exchange them for money. He estimated that the three magic items were worth at least 10,000 gold coins combined, which was more than enough to compensate for his loss.
As a result, Curt's mood improved greatly, because the real boutiques were the Dharma-Saving Ring and the Space Ring, which were equivalent to the pure profit of tens of thousands of gold coins. In particular, the role of the storage ring is difficult to estimate. As for the crystal ball with a base, the value is not very high. But the base of the crystal ball is made of memory stone, which piqued Curt's interest.
Curt tried to activate the crystal ball and play back the image stored in the zĂ i. After the clouds of magic lifted, a man wearing a mask and unable to see his facial features appeared in the crystal ball. On his right shoulder, embroidered with an eclipse-shaped emblem, he said in a deep voice:
"Praise our Lord and receive His glory. At the moment when you fulfill your promise, we will accept you as a brother. â
This is the end of the video, and Curt is deep in thought. 'He' is a word for a deity, and it seems that the ogre wizard is just a low-level thug. It acts on the instructions of others, perhaps members of a secret sect. Given the apparent danger, Curt decided to hand over the crystal ball and let the High Mages decide what to do with it. He didn't have time to join in the fun, and he didn't want to be involved in inexplicable trouble.
"The stone is on top, the little devil who plays magic, what are you hiding here and lonely?"
Hoffman burst into the room and staggered over. He had two glasses of ale in his hands, followed by a group of dwarves singing loudly. It's a miracle that these drunks didn't fall down the stairs and break their necks!Curt opened his mouth slightly in surprise as he watched the dwarves lie staggered to the ground. He thought about it for a moment, then quickly put the valuables in the drawer.
Hoffman jumped on the table with a loud bang. He smashed the half-spilled glass of ale in front of Curt and said viciously:
"Drink! A goblin head is worth a drink, an orc is worth two! Have a drink today, you're a great spell tricker!"
Before he could finish speaking, Hoffman fell off the table. He began to snoore before he hit the ground, snoring with the other dwarves.
It seems that nothing can be done today. â
Curt raised his forehead with his hand, not knowing what to say about the dwarves and vomit all over the ground. He grimaced for a moment, then picked up his glass and began to drink.
A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, cheers!
The next day, when Curt was invited to the Hall of Glory in the main city, his head was still aching. The dwarven ale was pure alcohol, and half a glass would make Curt get drunk to death.
The invitation was followed by a floating disc. Curt, who sat on it, was spared the pain of trekking and fully felt the difference in treatment.
On the ground floor of the central main tower, in the solemn Hall of Glory, Curt was greeted with great pomp. Sixteen Intermediate Mages lined up to salute him, and three High Mages with exclusive seats in the Council of a Thousand Laws, Doyle, Gardner, and Sabina presided over the scene.
"Welcome, Mr. Curt. You have made a significant contribution to the City of a Thousand Laws, and now we will present you with a commendation on behalf of the Council of a Thousand Laws. â
Doyle, who looked like a skeleton, raised his hand and began to speak. He is a master of the necromantic system and is able to summon an entire army of the undead. Curt jumped off the saucer and humbly bent down. Gardner, who specialized in spells, nodded, followed Doyle and said:
"The Tower of White Jade, the Tower of Red Iron, and the Tower of Bluestone all fell one by one. Only the Black Tower remains, and it's proof of your strength. Mr. Curt, you are the pride of the Thousand Laws City. We will allow you to settle in the city, along with the entire Mage Tower. â
"Huh?"
Curt looked up in surprise, a little unclear. Sabina, a master of illusion, stretched out her palm to stop Curt from questioning. She cleared her throat and said in a shrill voice:
"The relocation will take place the day after tomorrow and will be done by the Faceless One. I hereby award you another award, Mr. Curt. This is the Elemental Staff, which fires lightning, fireballs, or ice balls three times a day, and an additional Icicle. Make good use of your Elemental Staff and continue to explore the mysteries of magic. â
Sabina snapped her fingers, causing a staff with a crystal handle and a head forged in Mithril and Adamantite gold to appear out of thin air. Curt caught the slowly falling staff and felt the immense magic contained in it. - Icepick is a level 5 spell, like a weakened version of the Ice Dragon Spit. For Curt, who could only cast level 2 spells, this staff was enough to make his combat power fly.
"In addition to that, we'll give you a constant spell of level three or below. You can decide right away, or you can think about it slowly. â
Sabina went on to submit a list of prizes, far beyond Curt's expectation with her generosity. Curt thought for a moment, then replied without hesitation:
"Please keep my arcane vision constant, thank you. â
Ten minutes later, when Curt left the Hall of Glory, his eyes were already able to see the magic aura. In Curt's line of sight, his newfound staff was like a flame that radiated an intense light. Arcane vision can see the form of magic and is one of the most reliable detection spells.
With a happy mood, Curt strolled into the Greenberry Tavern. He greeted the krona and ordered breakfast and hot milk. Curt sat down in the corner, and then sensed Ani through the look on his chest:
'The day after tomorrow, someone will cast a large spell on the Mage Tower, do you want it?'
'It's okay, I can hide for a while. â
Ani replied without any urgency, and then asked tentatively:
'Are you going to drive the dwarves out?' You don't seem to like them. â
'Let's keep it for now. â
Curt smiled wryly, and then sensed Ani viciously:
At least wait until those bastards wake up and clean the room for me before letting them go." â
The telepathic conversation ended there, as Kelly walked into the tavern and sat down in the chair across from Curt. She was dressed as hot as always, and her corset was unbuttoned with two buttons, and it was open to the point that no matter how low it was, it would reveal **.
"Is it true that the more valuable the person you talk to, the more you will be exposed?"
Curt stared at Kelly's majestic twin peaks and asked very narrowly. Kelly folded her legs and replied with a grin:
"You can think so, I don't care anyway. â
"How can I get you to get naked and lie on Netg?"
Curt brazenly pursued, determined to make it impossible for the woman in front of him to get off the stage. In this regard, Kelly just shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said extremely evilly:
"I'm afraid even if there is a day, you won't be able to do anything. The men I castrated can line up from here to the door, do you want to join them?"
"I'll work my fingers well. â
Curt took the milk and drank it down, calmly confronting Kelly. So Kelly cast a vicious gaze, but unfortunately it was useless. She futile for a while, and finally took the initiative to divert the topic.
"Need to add new apprentices?"
"They're all alive and well. â
Curt took a bite of the bread and didn't say anything to Kelly, and the apprentices were sleeping with their glasses in their hands. Then he reached out and grabbed Kelly, who wanted to leave, and asked in a low voice:
"Is there a master of poison in the Thieves' Guild?"
"As long as the price is reasonable, we can poison a king for you. â
Kelly replied in surprise, but still reserved. So Curt took out a diamond worth five hundred gold coins, gently tossed it and caught it. When he tossed the diamond for the second time, Kelly reached out and intercepted it. Curt smiled and said happily:
"I need a top player â I don't need him to fight, he just needs to be experienced. The sooner the better, or you'll have to get a 20% discount on your charges. â
"Within an hour, you'll meet the best poison master in Thousand Laws City. â
Kelly can't put it down, playing with diamonds, like a child who has found a toy. Curt casually took out the second diamond and said to Kelly, who was staring at her:
"Can you please strip naked and lie down on Netg?"
"A glass of hot milk, piping hot. â
Kelly decisively turned around and beckoned to Krone, who was hiding in the corner of the bar.
