One gold coin is a lot of money.
Fruit wine in this world is generally not expensive. Even if it is the high-quality product drunk by nobles, one silver coin can buy two or three large barrels.
The only thing that is more expensive is the elven mead, which is 1.5 times the weight of gold.
But the elves don’t drink much of this kind of stuff, and it’s not enough to supply the elven royal family and senior officials, so it almost never flows to the human world.
Occasionally, some people have drank it, and they are also legendary sages and brave men. There are more rumors than facts.
Or some humans who are quite friendly with the high-level elves occasionally receive gifts.
I drink it all by myself and seldom take out.
No matter what, the mead of the elves is the real luxury wine.
The fruit wine that humans drink, no matter how good it tastes, is just a normal drink.
As for the red-bearded dwarf, who could drink so much money that he owed him under the circumstances that "fruit wine is generally not expensive", it is conceivable that he must be a heavy drinker.
He is probably the kind of alcoholic who soaks in a vat of wine every day.
Seeing the expectant expression of the girl at the counter, Roland sighed and handed over two gold coins.
The girl at the counter immediately took it, returned the extra money, and placed a red wooden sign: "This dwarf is in a mine about ten kilometers west of the city. With this sign, you can bring him back."
Another wooden sign!
People in France really like to use this thing as a voucher.
Roland put away the wooden sign, and after leaving the mercenary union, flew directly to the west of the city.
When the human cannon flew, it made a lot of noise, and many people who had an intuitive reaction to magic felt it.
Some people even walked to the balcony and watched a figure streak across the sky of the royal city.
What an interesting way to fly!
high speed.
Many people look at it with envy and understand the principle, but there are too few people who can do it.
First of all, only by controlling the magic power accurately can we activate the magic shield and perfectly cast the space bubble skill at the same time.
The second is the danger. The magic of space bubble itself is not dangerous, but if you suck yourself in and then spray it out, there is a danger.
It is even much higher than simple long-distance teleportation.
Long-distance teleportation is dangerous enough, let alone this weird skill of using space bubbles to spray oneself out.
Low-level mages would not dare to do this.
Legendary mages can control the space bubble spray at a dangerous threshold, but the problem is that they can fly magic such as wind and soar.
100% safe, not to mention taking risks
It is estimated that only the Golden Son who is not afraid of death can use this magic so spiritually.
Of course, Roland's technique still left traces in the hearts of many magic masters. After all, his flying speed is too fast, and he can use it to escape at critical moments.
A distance of ten kilometers, at the high speed of a human cannon, takes less than a minute.
Things like mines are very easy to identify.
As long as there is a road leading into the mountains, there will be a large number of double road marks on the road that have been driven by trucks.
Coupled with the large amount of gravel scattered on the roadside, this road most likely leads to the mine.
Roland quickly found such a road and landed at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as he landed, he saw a cart filled with green ore passing by.
When the three miners in the car saw him, they subconsciously bent down and saluted.
Roland nodded to them and then looked towards the mountain.
This road leads to the green forest on the mountain. The entrance to the mine cannot be seen from high in the sky, but it can be seen walking down this road.
Seeing many miners along the way, Roland came to the mine. There were several mud rooms here, which probably contained information about the miners.
There is even a slightly larger stone house, which should be the residence of the overseers.
Roland walked over.
The front door of the stone house was wide open, with a table and a man in blue coarse cloth sitting behind the table, yawning boredly.
He looked up and saw Roland, and immediately stood up in fright. At the same time, he nodded and bowed with a smile: "Mr. Master, who are you here for?"
Roland put the wooden sign on the table and said, "I'm here to pick up Wilmot the Red Beard."
The man immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Roland was looking for trouble.
Although the miners here are very strong, they can never defeat a mage.
The man casually called a miner who was resting nearby to call out Redbeard, and then he said flatteringly to Roland: "Mr. Master, would you like to go into the house and rest for a while?"
"Thank you, I'll just wait here." Roland waved his hand.
In fact, the environment in the stone house is very poor. The supervisors are not people who like cleanliness. It is full of stench. This person just said this, and he didn't think the Master would rest in such a poor house.
Roland walked aside and waited for a while.
Then he saw a red-bearded dwarf carrying a rattan frame coming out of the mine entrance.
As he walked away, he shouted unhappily: "You humans are so annoying. Just don't let me drink. Now you don't even let me dig ore. You have deprived me of two of the three most important things for dwarves. You don’t want me to be embarrassed and heartbroken to death.”
The dwarf's voice was so loud that Roland's ears hurt when he heard it from such a distance.
The miner who led him out covered his ears and said helplessly: "The master mage helped you pay for the wine you owed. It's more than one gold coin. I guess he wants you to help him work."
"Tch, you don't know that I hate the so-called nobles and spellcasters the most. Their noses are higher than their heads."
Red Beard was talking, and then he saw Roland not far away. He was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately became serious. He threw down the vine frame with many ores on his back and walked quickly to Roland: "What does a powerful-looking spellcaster want to do with me, a drunkard?"
"Let's chat next to each other?" Roland shook his head and motioned the dwarf to move aside.
The dwarf is only as tall as Roland's waist, but his shoulders are much wider than Roland's. His beard covered almost all of his face, and only the red, rough skin could be seen near his nose and eyes.
Wilmot hesitated.
He felt that the mage in front of him was very dangerous and could kill him in a minute.
It's just that the other party has already come to the door, and there is no way to avoid the disaster.
After thinking for a while, the dwarf nodded.
The two walked to the nearby woods, and then Roland took out the ring system backpack and threw it to the dwarf. At the same time, he said, "Stephanie asked me to learn the skills of combing beards from you."
After hearing this, Wilmot immediately checked the ring. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be someone sent by the eldest princess. Is she going to use these shady things like us?"
"If she doesn't activate it, she will be out." Roland smiled and said, "Give me the ring back, and then take me to meet your companions... everyone."
Wilmot reluctantly handed the ring back to Roland.
In fact, as long as you have this ring, know their identities, and tell them the password, you can command them.
Wilmot actually wanted this ring too.
It's not that he wants to seize power, but simply... he wants to collect Stephanie's things.
"No problem, but it takes time to rally them," Wilmot said.
"how much time is required?"
"At least half a day."
Roland nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come to me at the Moonstone Tavern that night."
Wilmot's eyes suddenly lit up: "The fruit wine there is pretty good, don't you treat me to a few drinks?"
"Okay, I'll try tonight and see if I can book a big room for all of you and treat you to a nice meal and drink. How about that?"
As a typical Chinese person, Roland feels that although the dinner party culture is a bit bad, it is undeniable that in many cases, eating and drinking can indeed quickly shorten the distance between people.
Roland needs these people to gather information for him, so isn't it appropriate to give them a good meal and make them work harder
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.
When the drunkard heard this, he immediately became high.
"The master is very generous." Wilmot excitedly danced the dwarf tap dance. After spinning Roland in circles for several times, his mood became calmer, but his spirit was still very high-spirited: "Okay, I'll go and notify those people right away. There are seventeen companions, and the largest room in the Moonstone Tavern can accommodate more than a hundred people without any problem."
After he finished speaking, he jumped to the side with the unique steps of a dwarf, and disappeared with a swish.
Then I saw the grass was parted in front of me, and something invisible quickly left.
Thief... Roland was stunned for a moment.
Generally speaking, as long as it is a professional, the system will automatically prompt the opponent's level. If the opponent is too strong, it will be indicated by a skull symbol.
For example, in the eyes of Roland, the high-level officials of Elford and other red magic towers all have the skull symbol.
However, in Roland's eyes, this Wilmot had neither a level hint nor a skull mark.
really interesting!
A special hidden ability that can deceive the system, a law-level one
The eldest princess seems to be quite capable.
How could he recruit such a person
If everyone else in Dark Chess has very special abilities, it seems reasonable for her to be the queen.
Roland teleported back to a remote part of the royal city, and then teleported to the underground library.
As soon as he appeared in the library, he felt something was wrong.
There is a strong element of dark magic in the air.
He subconsciously opened his magic shield.
The shield was just opened. A white bone spear exuding black gas suddenly came from his right side and hit Roland's magic shield. It trembled in the air for a while, and its strength and magic were completely destroyed. and disappeared before flicking aside.
Fortunately, Roland reacted quickly enough and set up a magic shield, otherwise this bone spear would definitely pierce his head.
Roland turned around and saw a figure with black gas rolling over his body standing in the aisle of bookshelves about five meters to the right.
The black magic power was all over this person's body, making it difficult to see his appearance, body shape, and even his height.
Roland pointed at him without hesitation, and a blue lightning chain was sent out, instantly wrapping around the black figure.
The black smoke produced by lightning and magic elements collided together, creating a strange magic neutralization scene.
The lightning suddenly disappeared, a large part of the black smoke also disappeared, and the other party's appearance was faintly revealed.
But still can't see clearly.
Then a wave of spatial magic power occurred, and the black shadow suddenly disappeared.
Teleportation!
Roland wanted to chase them out, but immediately stopped the idea. He looked around and found that Andonara, the eldest princess, and Beatrice were not here.
