Chapter 569 Eye of Vecna(1/4)

 "Asshole!
Look at my house!
My shop!
My goods!
This is already the sixth time in half a year!
On average once a month!
In addition to causing destruction, fire and explosions, your damn experiment can't even earn a single gold coin!
A month ago, an idiot spent money to buy your invention, but it was blown to pieces before it even left the black market.
The people responsible for collecting the corpses and garbage complained to me that they spent four hours unable to clean up the broken body parts and blood stains."
The male dwarf grabbed the female dwarf by the collar and roared angrily.
The former is obviously not young anymore. He has a beard that is as long as a human's and reaches his chest. He is basically completely bald on the top of his head. He only has some hair on the back of his head, but he was also badly burned in the explosion.p>
In contrast, the latter looks quite young, wearing a piece of clothing that looks a bit like a robe with a lot of hard leather and rivets sewn on it, and showing a faint arcane aura under magical vision.
You don't need to ask to know that it was her weird clothes that protected her from any harm in the explosion.
And he also wears a helmet like a flying leather hat and crystal goggles on his head.
"You can't blame me last time! It was the idiot who didn't follow the instructions! And my invention is very useful, but no smart people have discovered the potential of these formulas yet."
The female dwarf called Manab retorted loudly without showing any signs of weakness.
However, the older male dwarf had obviously had enough of this kind of fearful life all day long. He pushed this fellow dwarf to the ground and shouted angrily: "I don't want to listen to your sophistry!
I’m not interested in those bullshit inventions either!
Now you're fired.
Get away as far as you want.
You will never be allowed to appear in my store again.
I really regret that I was so obsessed with it that I agreed to take in such a dangerous person like you."
"Bah! Old stubborn, one day you will regret what you did today. My invention will make a lot of money one day."
Manab struggled to get up from the ground, spat rudely at the old dwarf, then picked up some undamaged things that belonged to him from the ruins, and limped away into the darkness with a heavy backpack on his back.
At the end of the small waterway, the lonely figure looks quite desolate.
But considering the damage caused by the explosion just now, she deserves it to a certain extent.
The quarrel between the two dwarfs obviously attracted the attention of many people in the black market, but no one stepped forward to interfere. They all just watched from a distance.
In addition, the gnomes in the world of Greyhawk, like Faerûn, are born with unique talents in illusion magic and creation.
Especially on the black market, dwarf mages and craftsmen can often create very useful things.
For example, arrows and small repeating mechanical crossbows that can be filled with different magic effects after hitting them, or special props that can produce smoke, poisonous gas, strong flashes, etc. when thrown, or carefully prepared incandescent glue,
Acid bottles and magic potions.
Many members of the Thieves Guild will buy points to prepare for emergencies when performing dangerous missions.
Therefore, all dwarfs who can gain a foothold in the black market have close cooperation with local gangs, and no one dares to easily cause trouble for them.
Just as Zuo Si was analyzing the cause of the explosion with great interest, the young thief who had disappeared for a while finally returned with a coin carved from red crystal.
Without saying a word, he directly handed the coin to his employer and whispered in a low voice: "In fifteen minutes, take this coin to the tavern on the west side of the black market and give it to the thinnest-looking waitress, and then she
I will take you to the auction venue. Be careful, I heard there will be a lot of ruthless characters in this auction."
"Magic item?"
Zuo Si fiddled with the crystal coin in his hand and showed surprise.
Although it is only the lowest level of magic creation, as a permanent and constant enchantment, its cost obviously cannot be too low.
What's more, this thing has no actual use at all, it is just used as an anti-counterfeiting mark.
"You have good taste.
It is indeed a specially crafted magic item.
Generally speaking, the black market will use this red crystal coin as an admission ticket only when there is an auction item of very high value.
The admission fee of hundreds of gold coins can also weed out the poor with insufficient financial resources and allow powerful sellers to bid.
The most important thing is that the organizers of the auction will use the power of magic to hide the identity of each buyer to ensure that after the end, no desperado will take the risk and choose to kill people and steal goods.
So it’s theoretically safe, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
The young man lowered his voice and introduced some of the rules of the black market and auction.
Although he looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, both of his hands are covered with calluses from holding short swords and daggers for a long time, and his eyes occasionally flash a fierce look. He has obviously killed people long ago, and
There are at least a dozen or twenty of them.
"Do you think I will worry about safety issues?" Zuo Si asked with a sneer.
Hearing this sentence, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, yes, how can a guy like you who likes to do mischief worry about his own safety?
After all, more than half of the rich and powerful men in Greyhawk City want to kill you, and the other half have already begun to secretly take actual actions.
The cumulative reward amount alone is almost 50,000 gold coins.
To be honest, I really don’t understand how you are still alive today.
Under normal circumstances, if an average person offends any of those families, their corpses should have been eaten by the fish in the moat.
By the way, how do those beautiful ladies and ladies from famous families feel?
Now there are rumors outside that you made some of them pregnant, so those men are so angry."
Seeing the curiosity and gossip revealed in the young thief's eyes, Zuo Si immediately chuckled and shook his head: "Don't listen to the rumors outside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
I only have pure language and spiritual communication with those ladies and ladies.
Otherwise, their fathers, husbands and suitors would have come to trouble me through legal means.
As for your interest, I can only tell you that apart from the extra sense of conquest and possessiveness brought by identity, status, education, and family, these ladies and ladies are not much different from the young and beautiful women among the common people.<
/p>
Of course, considering that sexual interest is very spiritual in nature, everyone's XP will be slightly different, so you can only know the actual feeling after you try it yourself.
How about I take you with me to the next banquet?
There are several older ladies who like you, a handsome boy who is young and has a bit of wild aura.
Then you won’t have to lick blood like you do now, as long as you satisfy their desires, you can easily get rich rewards."
"No, thank you, I don't want to be stabbed one day for no reason, and then the body appears in the sewer or the moat."
The young thief shook his head and rejected this tempting offer without hesitation.
What a joke!
Although this kind of work sounds easy and exciting, it is actually many times more dangerous than working in the black market today.
Once caught, those families who want money and power will inevitably choose to kill to vent their anger.
After all, for a husband who has been cuckolded, killing his wife who has the same status as him may lead to a series of serious consequences, but killing a "white face" without any identity or status is quite easy.
The young thief would not dare to bet that he could have good luck like Zuo Si.
What's more, he had already inquired about the reason why no one from the underground forces in the city dared to accept the high reward yet. In fact, it was most likely a warning from Master Baye.
In this world, few people dare to ignore the words of Baye, especially the supreme leader Mordenkainen.
"Hahahaha! I like your caution. This allows you to avoid many dangers and live longer in a crisis-ridden environment."
Zuo Si laughed and patted the young man on the shoulder, then walked straight towards the tavern where the auction was held.
To be continued...
