Chapter Ten Karl, why did you betray us?
quack……
Suddenly, a crisp crow sound interrupted the two of them. Lin En took his gaze back with regret and looked in the direction where the sound came - a gray crow as big as a palm was standing on the counter, staring at him without turning his eyes.
[Drunk] The owner of the tavern is an authentic Gwitt businessman, exuding a shrewd and philanthropic atmosphere. After hearing the crows, he stopped wiping the wine glass, grinning, revealing his yellow teeth, and greeted him enthusiastically.
"What a rare face, welcome to the [Drunk] tavern... Is there anything you need? My guests?"
"A glass of Guluo wine costs four years. If I'm right, it should be seventeen Secas copper coins." Lin Neng walked straight to the front of the stage and arranged the copper coins in his hand on the table in equal parts of 557.
The owner of the tavern looked at Lin Neng, his eyes stayed on the long sword hanging around his waist, and his expression remained unchanged. "That was the standard of last year, now... I have to sell twenty-one copper!"
Lin En was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, the beautiful female drinker pursed her lips and said teasingly. "Old York, aren't you fooling newcomers? Why don't I know that the price of Gulu wine in your place has suddenly increased."
As he spoke, the female drinker looked at Lin En with interest. Although the 17-copper cup of Guluo wine is not a luxury, few people in the [Drunk] tavern are so generous.
Especially the man is young and handsome, with solid muscles, so he should not be the type that is not useful...
Old York didn't care about women's slander and grinned. "This year, two cargo ships in the harbor have capsized. The raw materials for Guro wine are scarce, so they are always more expensive..."
Lynn frowned and said again. "But I only have seventeen Secas copper coins!"
When the young female drinker heard this, she immediately lost half of her interest in Lynn. It seemed that she was just another poor man who was squandering his savings to drink a sip of good wine.
"Then I suggest you change your taste..." Old York shrugged, "Of course, if you are interested in earning some extra money, I can help you. Lame Lauder happened to be missing someone who can help him with his private work recently. He has always been generous and generous!"
Lame Lauder Lynn raised his eyebrows and heard the name more than once during the period when he was staying in Ur Town to investigate intelligence.
The other party's rumors are not very good...
"Very good, I'm missing a suitable job." Lin En's thoughts were changing, but he nodded and agreed.
Old York swept the copper coins on the table into his pocket, greeted the attendants in the tavern for his work temporarily, and then looked at Linn and spoke again.
"Come with me, put the Gulu you want in the cellar, take it first and then take you to see him..."
Seeing Lin Neng leaving with Old York without any warning, the drinker watching the fun couldn't help but smile with gloating.
Everyone living in Ur Town knows that although the lame Lauder is generous, he is also famous for his bad intentions. Many people who are rumored to be on the boat under his hands are inexplicably missing, and sometimes they can't even find a body...
If you have life to get money, but if you don’t have life to spend it…
...
Just as the drinkers were gloating, Old York took Lynn through the kitchen and entered the storage room full of wheat flour and wooden barrels, and then stopped in front of a huge dirty wine barrel.
Click...
Old York pressed down the lid of the side barrel. With the sound of wine surging, the barrel slowly rotated for half a circle, and the wooden board on the bottom suddenly popped out, revealing a secret passage half a person high.
"Follow this path, the person you want to meet is inside!" Old York lowered his voice, stuffed the candlesticks on the side into Lynn's arms, and warned impatiently. "Be careful yourself and don't cause trouble for me!"
Lin En thanked him, picked up the oil lamp and stepped straight into the secret passage. The huge wooden barrel covered with wine stains behind him rotated back to its original position, followed by the sound of the wine re-injection.
Some slight light from the outside disappeared, and the secret passage was pitch black, and I don’t know where to extend. Only the faint candlestick in my hand could illuminate the road ahead, and I could smell the smell of inferior wine in the air.
Lin En walked along the dim passage, and was already alert in his heart, and his mind kept recalling the information of several apprentices.
Because his mentor Cru has been running around over the years, he has no fixed residence, and will not keep every apprentice by his side.
After all, it is really eye-catching that there are too many innocent faces suddenly appearing in a city, which is not conducive to hiding identity.
Therefore, the original body has a limited understanding of these people. Most of them have only met a few times and know the degree of their names and appearance.
The only familiar one is Jonny who sent him a letter before.
Of course, this familiarity is one-sided.
To be precise, the original Carl has a subtle feeling unique to Jonny.
In words that can be understood, it is the unrequited love that comes from being lustful.
As Clue's disciple, Jonny has a high magical talent and is only one step away from becoming a formal wizard. It is also the open leader of their apprentices after Clue's death.
It’s a pity that this unilateral and delicate relationship obviously cannot provide him with any help.
While Lin Neng was distracted, the narrow secret passage ahead gradually became wider. Through the faint candlelight, Lin Neng was shocked to realize that the secret passage actually led to a dense forest outside Ur Town.
It was late at night, but the sky was not as dark as I thought. The silver moonlight shone down the gaps between the branches and leaves of the jungle. The solid yellow soil was like a layer of transparent gauze. Lin En faintly felt that the magic power in his body became more and more active.
Is this the moon day?
Through the dense bushes, Lynn could vaguely see the bright stars and the huge moon in the sky. According to the memory of his predecessor, Carl, this strange astronomical scene only once a year, and will last about three to five days.
However, there is no record in the memory of the moonlight that can affect magic.
Yes, it only took half a year for my predecessor to become a wizard...
Lynn was thinking, a sudden sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and dozens of condensed and formed [magic missiles] flew out from the sealed woods around, blocking his escape route from the front, back and left and right.
trap?
This idea immediately emerged in Lin Neng's mind, and he had already reacted the next moment. With his empty left hand, a ball of gray powder was thrown out and fell into his palm. It was the only spell casting material left before - [Embers of Red Fire]!
Lin Neng threw it hard, and the dots of powder instantly ignited under the influence of magic, forming a hot wall of fire in front of him.
However, the new magic that was hastily used - [Second Firewall Technique] naturally cannot defeat several wizard apprentices' joint efforts, and [Magic Missile] penetrated the sea of fire almost instantly.
Fortunately, Lynn's goal has been achieved. The heat waves and high temperatures raised by the fire wall have made these magical creatures lose their accuracy and hit the trunks and the yellow land behind him in a mess.
Seeing four figures covered in black robe surrounding him in half-ring shape, Lin Neng silently pulled out the long sword around her waist, and at the same time unbuttoned the storage bag for storing white phosphorus, ready for battle.
Due to the haste of time, the white phosphorus he made was limited, but now is obviously not the time to hold back...
But before Lin En could take action, a cold voice came out first.
"Carl, why do you betray us?"
