Chapter 255 Traps (1)
"Sir, I don't want to stop the car and disturb you, but..."
The mountain goat driver's voice was trembling and his face was pale. The sound of electricity in the carriage made his liver and gallbladder burst.
On the way to Kalanli City, he saw with his own eyes a great thunder magician electrocuting a six-meter-tall powerful diamond ape to death with just a magic skill.
That scene is worth remembering for the rest of his life!
Although the mountain goat man had not finished speaking, Orobak had already noticed the knights blocking the road, and one of them had already rode up to the window.
"We are the Saint Louis Mages. Why did you lead the knights to block our way?"
Orobach asked with a calm expression, neither humble nor arrogant.
He was not panicked. Not to mention that he was a distinguished guest of King Kalanli. His strength as a source mage gave him the confidence to be fearless.
"I'm extremely sorry for disturbing you, but I see that your carriage is traveling too fast, so I can only intercept it by force. Please try your best."
Goodbye hid himself in the knight's visor, so that the mage opposite could not see his expression clearly. There was a sneer on his lips, but his tone of voice was very polite.
"His Majesty Kalanli invites all of you to attend the palace fair we have specially prepared for you."
"Palace Market?" Orobak looked confused.
This is an unfamiliar word, and this item was not included in the guide to Kalanli City that their seniors told them.
However, they know very well where there are young girls of the alien race. After all, the prostitute in Kalanli is very famous, and they have heard about it even as far away as the Southern Continent.
The Southern Continent mages of the St. Louis Mages Group also looked at each other in confusion upon hearing this, not knowing why.
"Can you tell us about this palace market?"
Since he was a knight sent by King Kalanli, and as a guest, Oroback calmed down his anger and softened his tone.
"Of course, my lords."
"The palace market is a grand event specially prepared for you by our majesty. Before, all the envoys had to go to the market to pick and choose, which was very inconvenient. In addition, there were embarrassing incidents of wallets being stolen in the past."
Goodbye spread his hands, put the knight's sword into its scabbard, adjusted the somewhat narrow breastplate, and continued to fool the mages:
"So in order to make it easier for you to purchase supplies, Your Majesty has temporarily set up a palace market."
"All materials will be appraised in advance by specialized appraisers and placed in the palace market, saving your lords' time."
"And His Majesty the King will also bring out the treasures collected in the treasury for you to choose and buy."
All the mages were a little surprised when they heard this.
King Kalanli is too polite, he just treats them as their ancestors...
But it feels pretty good.
Being so promoted by King Kalanli, they no longer cared at all about the collision they had received in the carriage.
"That's great!" Orobak smiled and clapped his hands and said:
"Thank you King Kalanli for your kindness, then we would rather obey him than be respectful."
The other magicians had no objection. On the contrary, they were looking forward to the palace fair prepared by King Kalanli for them.
There must be a lot of materials that are very precious to them in the treasure house of a king of the Northern Continent. They have almost expected that this time it will be a big harvest!
Now that the fish has taken the bait, Goodbye is relieved.
He originally thought that these mages would ask a few more questions, but he didn't expect to believe what they said.
It's exactly as the information said.
These mages are all recent graduates.
Despite his strong strength, in fact he has never been beaten by society at all.
Now the beating from society is coming.
The team of knights moved out of the way again, and the Goatman on the mountaintop understood what had happened. He quickly cleaned up the mess in the carriage, and then returned to his post.
There were two groups of knights following in formation, looking solemn and formal. Along the way, civilians gave way, and even the two amethyst lions became a lot more honest. In less than half an hour, this luxurious carriage arrived at Kalanli.
The entrance to the palace.
Orobak stepped out of the carriage first and looked around the surrounding environment.
It's exactly what the seniors said before.
King Kalanli is an extremely narcissistic person.
There are seven or eight gold statues of various shapes placed at the entrance of the royal capital alone.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of King Kalanli is resplendent and very powerful.
But to them, the mages of the Southern Continent, these displays of King Kalanli are as ridiculous and pathetic as a clown.
Once you have contemptuous thoughts in your mind, you can't help but lower your vigilance towards the surrounding environment.
This was done deliberately by Goodbye.
These statues were originally placed at the entrance of Kalanli City, but now he deliberately placed them at the most conspicuous gate of Kalanli King's capital, even blocking the road, for fear that the mages who came to Kalanli as guests would not be able to see them.
There are many civilians around who are running to the back garden of the palace. They are holding cloth bags in their hands and looking happy. Occasionally, you can see some civilians who have sold out their items and are happily going there with coins.
Go back.
"The palace market is in the back garden. These common people's materials will be appraised by our appraisers and purchased in advance. Finally, they will be selected by the mages at will. We will take back the remaining materials to the kingdom's treasury."
Goodbye pointed to the civilians who had sold out the materials and explained.
These civilians are really selling materials.
They were not invited by Gudbai.
Sometimes a lie can deceive people only if it is 70% true and 30% false.
And the three-point falsehood is often the most fatal.
Orobak and other thunder mages had no doubts. The scene of enthusiastic sales of materials had already lowered their vigilance to a minimum.
It's not that their brains are bad.
It's not that they are stupid.
In fact, the subjective impression of things still has too great an impact on them.
Not to mention that those who instilled these subjective impressions were the seniors who had been to the Kalanli Empire.
In their stereotype, King Kalanli would never do anything wrong, and there was no need to be at odds with the Mage Empire in the Southern Continent.
Passing through a bustling corridor filled with civilians waiting to sell materials, the magicians also saw several appraisers that Goodbye mentioned.
Then they passed a small garden and then walked into a magnificent and huge auditorium.
This is where the palace fair is held.
Just walked through the door of the auditorium.
Orobak, who was most sensitive to magic elements, frowned slightly because the magic power in his body was disordered for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal.
This situation is usually a special phenomenon that occurs when one goes from a place with high magic activity to a place with extremely low magic activity.
However, he thought carefully for a moment.
It was found that the magical activity in the auditorium was still at normal levels.
In the middle of the auditorium is a large exhibition stand.
A large number of materials and magic items have been placed there waiting for them to pick.
"It seems to be my misunderstanding?"
Orobak shook his head, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
