Section 14 The Magicians' Guild
Doing anything takes longer than expected. Even if you want to sell the gem this time, it's the same. After Bai Fan said that he was going to sell a gem, Ada and the others didn't know where to sell the gem.
Ada: It's the first time they've seen something so expensive, and they can't make up their minds. In the end, Ada proposed, "My lord, I suggest that you wait until Linjiang City has a regular auction once a quarter. And the next auction is less than a month away. It was jointly organized by the trading houses of the whole city, as long as the trading houses appraised something worth more than a hundred gold coins, they could participate in this auction, and many mercenaries usually held treasures and waited for the auction. And at that time, many nobles and merchants from the east of the empire will come, and they will definitely be able to sell for a good price. I remember that this summer, there was a noble young master from the imperial capital who bought a little tiger brought out of the Demon Beast Mountain Range for 2,000 gold coins. What a waste. ”
Bai Fan shook his head, his time was precious. It is impossible to waste that long waiting for that auction. "Is there any other way? I can't wait that long. ”
"It seems that this kind of gem is only carried by magicians. By the way, maybe you can go to the place that sells magic wands and ask, I see that those mages have some gems on their wands that look like this. I've never seen one this big, though. Adabi gestured twice, a little uncertain.
"Alright then, you guys go back first. I may have some time to contact you tomorrow. Let Ada and them go first, Bai Fan touched his chin. Then go to the place where the magic wand is sold, and if it really doesn't work, go to the Mercenary Guild.
He went out and took a carriage and asked him to take him to the biggest place in town that sold magic wands. When the driver heard this, he paused for a moment, and then reacted and asked Bai Fan to enter the car. Then they set off in a carriage. The carriage of Linjiang City not only looks luxurious from the outside, but also spacious inside, which is more than one grade higher than the carriage I took when I came before. The ride on the bluestone road is very smooth. There was nothing to do left and right, and Bai Fan simply entered a meditative state. When the carriage stopped, the coachman's voice came from outside: "My lord, it's here." ”
As soon as he got out of the car, he found the carriage parked in a square. As soon as you look up, you will see a huge palace-like building. The white plaster walls and the intricate patterns show the nobility of this place. To get past the square, you first have to climb dozens of steps, on either side of which are several huge statues of magicians. And the main entrance of the building is carved with a huge row of words: Wizards' Guild.
Bai Fan was stunned, didn't he go to a shop that sold magic wands, how did he get to the Magicians' Guild? I hadn't seen it in several cities before, and I thought there was no Magicians' Guild at all. I didn't expect there to be one in Linjiang, which looks so luxurious.
The coachman probably knew what he was thinking, "Sir, you're going to a place where you can buy a magic wand." Only the Mage Guild in the city has a magic wand. That's why I brought you here. ”
All right. Looks like it's time to sell that stone here, anyway, it's the right place. After paying the money, Bai Fan added a light body technique to himself and flew up.
As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged woman greeted him. "Hello Master Mage, I'm a staff member here. You can call me Avery and don't know how I can help you. I saw Bai Fan flying up from a distance, and her work was very leisurely, so she came out directly to receive her.
Bai Fan looked around, the hall was very huge, but there were only two windows for errands. However, there are no people in line, so you can imagine that there are not many people who usually come to handle affairs. So he asked, "I see that there are very few people today, are they usually like this?"
The woman replied, "The magician has just returned from the east." In fact, there are only about 10,000 magicians in our Xizhou in total, and only about 3,000 are assigned to our Linjiang City. And now is not the time to receive benefits, so there will naturally be fewer people. ”
When Bai Fan heard this, he could still receive benefits? It seems that the benefits of being a magician are even greater than he imagined. But I'm a newcomer and don't understand anything. It's better to simply expose your bottom and formally integrate into this society.
So he said to the woman, "Oh no, I'm not coming back from the east. Today is the first time I have come to the Magic Guild, ready to sell something, and then go to the imperial capital to apply for the academy. ”
The woman looked at Bai Fan in surprise, as if she saw some treasure. "Wait a minute. He let him rest on the couch first, then turned around and ran down the hall.
After a while, the woman walked out after an old man. I saw that this old man was gray-robed and white-bearded, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like he was about to die, but his face exuded a sense of wisdom. One of his eyes was extraordinarily deep, and Bai Fan just glanced at it casually, and he felt that he was about to fall into it, and quickly turned his head away. I was amazed in my heart, no one had ever been able to see through myself at such a glance. For the first time today, this world is really not so simple.
The gray-robed old man saw Bai Fan turn his head to the side, revealing a look of satisfaction. "I'm the president of this chapter, Sherlock. I heard that you are coming to the Magic Guild for the first time, is that really the case?" (haha, allow me to prank it)
Bai Fan stood up and replied respectfully, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Sherlock. This is indeed my first time in the Wizards' Guild today. I had planned to get to the Wizards' Guild sooner, but I hadn't seen them in the previous cities. ”
Hearing Bai Fan's answer, Sherlock's eyes were even more satisfied, but he said solemnly, "It seems that you are indeed a newcomer who doesn't understand anything. You haven't seen it before, and that's because there are few wizards' guilds in the first place. ”
"You can be here, but before we can do that, we need to make sure you're not on file. But for now, you have to tell me where you came from. Don't get away with it!"
When Bai Fan heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, no matter how he looked at his origin, there was a problem. And no one will believe it when it comes out. I didn't expect a wizard's guild to be so troublesome, I knew I wouldn't be here! And seeing Sherlock's eyes getting colder and colder, maybe I have to lose my life here today!
"I'm not going to do it!" Bai Fan tried to keep himself calm, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" a low shout came from behind him. Bai Fan only felt that an invisible hand trapped him in place, and he knew very well that his spiritual power was restrained. The other party's mental power is much stronger than his own. The wind elementals around him converged and lifted his body into the air. Slowly turn him around.
"Tell me where you came from!" Sherlock's eyes shot a burst of light, piercing deep into Bai Fan's eyes. Bai Fan's eyes gradually dimmed, but he never spoke.
"Tell me where you came from!" Sherlock didn't seem to expect this to happen, and the man in front of him was obviously under his control, but he didn't answer until now. After a few minutes of stalemate, Sherlock felt that this person's mental power seemed to be concentrated together, and he would soon launch a counterattack!
I didn't know Bai Fan's origin, but it was enough to know that he wasn't sent by the Bike Empire. Sherlock felt a little tired. The mental strength of the man in front of him was far more tenacious than he expected. It stands to reason that the consciousness of the person who is controlled by hypnotism will be temporarily closed, and the practitioner can explore the answers he wants. But this person kept struggling just now, and he was forced to retreat before he had time to search for anything.
Looking at Bai Fan, who fell to the ground and fell into a coma, Sherlock couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This person is still so young and has such a strong spiritual power, and the future is limitless." This time he was offended miserably. I need to make up for it later, and I must appease it, and I must not let him hold a grudge. Otherwise, I'll be miserable in the future. ”
