Soon, they arrived at the nearest town - Hank Town.
They came to the hotel and settled down temporarily, preparing to make some repairs here. Those who needed to buy daily necessities bought daily necessities, and those who needed to inquire about news asked for news. Many mages said that they were finally out of the misery of the Horli Kingdom and no longer had to worry about being caught by people from the church. Therefore, they wanted to take a long sleep in the hotel and have a good rest.
Benjamin was also a little emotional about this.
They had escaped from the Kingdom of Hori, and now they were in a small town in Ikol. Even if the bishop stationed at the gate hated him, he would not be able to hunt him down here.
Therefore, when they entered Hank Town, they no longer hid like before, but walked into the town openly. Under the eyes of others, they no longer try to hide their identity as mages and can freely discuss what they want to discuss. It felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could finally breathe fresh air freely.
They were not worried about the Queen finding out about them - they were still in Icol, and such a large group of people couldn't hide. The Queen would definitely be able to find them if she wanted to. Therefore, they simply let go and let others see it.
The people of Hank Town did not show much surprise at their appearance.
Those who should be passing by are still passing by, and those who should be going out are still going out. Some people even came up and asked: "Master Mage, we have just received a batch of fresh Warcraft materials in our store. Do you want to come and take a look?"
Although they didn't know what the use of Warcraft materials was, the normal attitude of others towards the mage still made them feel very comfortable.
At the same time, Benjamin also saw the kind of shop specially opened for mages.
"Moore's Magic Shop", that's the name of the shop, and it sounds like a fantasy-themed cafe. However, out of curiosity about outside magic knowledge, Benjamin came to the door of the store and walked in without taking a break after putting down his luggage.
Different from the mysterious and dark place you imagined, the store is no different from other stores. It is cleanly decorated and brightly lit. It is a bit like a food department store. However, the things sold in this place are instead some strange-looking plants and Animal limbs.
Benjamin took a quick look and saw colorful flowers and plants, bloody flesh and claws, strange-shaped bones, and even a pair of huge eyes, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Foreign mages deal with these things all day long
"Master Mage, what do you want?" Soon, a young-looking clerk came up to him and asked Benjamin enthusiastically.
"Hmm..." Benjamin thought for a while and said, "I would like to ask, apart from these materials, do you sell anything else here? Preferably magic-related books and the like."
He didn't come here to buy some strange Warcraft materials, and he didn't know how to use them after buying them. For them at this moment, the most important thing was to understand the situation of the magic circle here.
Hearing this, the clerk showed a surprised expression and said, "You have to ask our boss about this. Only mages have these things. Among the mages in the town, our boss is the only one who is not out today."
"Where is your boss? Can you take me to see him?" Benjamin asked immediately.
The clerk's expression looked a little strange, but after hesitating, he nodded and led Benjamin toward the back door of the store.
Soon, they came to the back door. The clerk stopped, knocked on the door with some fear, and whispered inside: "Boss, there is a mage who wants to visit you."
It was quiet for a while, and then an old voice, as if his throat was full of phlegm, came from inside, saying: "Let him come in."
Benjamin was a little startled by the sound. Putting aside everything else, this voice really sounds like the evil and mysterious old wizard in the movies, who hides in a small dark room every day and conducts experiments on living people.
Moreover, judging from the clerk's behavior, he seemed to be afraid of the mage.
I don’t know what these mages will be like.
With this thought in mind, he opened the door and walked in. However, after entering the door, he was a little shocked to find that the world behind the door was very different from the scene he had imagined.
It was a fairly large room, but the furniture was cluttered. Beds, tables, cages, cradle... There are all kinds of small objects, it's dazzling, but there is almost nothing that seems to be related to magic. At first glance, no one would think that this is a room belonging to a mage.
And, what's more - all the furniture here is pink.
With pink tables and chairs, pink cabinets, and pink printed sheets, Benjamin entered the room and thought he had entered a girl's world of another dimension. The most devastating thing is that the owner of this room is the old man squatting by the wall in his pajamas.
When Benjamin walked into the room, the old man was holding a fluffy stick in his hand, with a crazy smile on his face, teasing a chubby, yellow and white tabby cat in a pink cradle.
No matter who it is, such a picture is extremely shocking.
"This... senior, this is the first time we meet, hello."
Benjamin was a little confused, as if the dream of traveling through the "Balala Energy" of his former boss came into reality. The strong impact made his stomach start to churn a little. However, he still endured the somewhat complicated feelings and spoke.
Hearing this, the smile on the old man's face disappeared, he turned his head, looked at Benjamin fiercely, and said, "You brat, if you need anything, just tell me, don't disturb my dearest Miss Mona Lisa."
After saying that, he turned his head back and faced the cat rolling in the cradle again. The ferocious expression disappeared instantly, and the wrinkles on his face were like smiles.
“…”
Benjamin felt that his blood tank was about to bottom out.
"Faced with this situation, don't you have anything to say?" He couldn't help but ask the system in his mind.
"What's the point?" The voice of the system sounded unusually calm, "After seeing the scene of Grant having sex at the cocktail party, I have been blind for a long time. How could I lose my perspective because of this little trouble?"
"… you win."
After experiencing the buffering of the conversation with the system in his heart, Benjamin took a deep breath and felt that everything in front of him was not so unacceptable. So, he reorganized his words that had just been shaken up, and spoke calmly:
"I would like to ask, are there any magic-related books that I can buy here?"
Hearing this, the old man turned around, his old face looking even more disgusting: "Boy, go back and tell the boss of your Mage Guild, don't try to cheat me out of this formula. If he really wants it, he can't get it unless he takes the 'Primary Source' Change the formula of the water' with me, otherwise, don't waste my time here."
Benjamin was confused.
… What the hell
"I'm not a member of the Mages Guild." After thinking about it, his voice deepened and he said, "In fact, if you can tell me what the Mages Guild is all about, I will turn around and leave without wasting any of your time. time."
"Wait a minute..." The old man's expression suddenly became a little strange, "You don't even know what's going on in the Mages Guild? Are you lying to a three-year-old child?"
Benjamin shrugged and said, "Why did I lie to you? I just escaped from the Kingdom of Hori and know nothing about the magical world outside. I have never heard of the Mages Guild in the kingdom."
Now, the old man's expression changed again.
He finally shifted his interest away from the cat in the cradle and walked around Benjamin, looking left and right, making "tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk" sounds of admiration from time to time, just like watching giant pandas in the zoo.
As for Benjamin, as an "animal" being watched, he didn't feel very good.
"What's so strange about this?" He sighed, somewhat helplessly.
"Isn't this strange? The mage who escaped from the Holy Shit Kingdom hasn't appeared for many years." The old man said this. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he added, "But the nearest gate is there. It seems like there was an accident, you probably took that opportunity to escape."
Sorry, that accident was caused by us...
Benjamin really wanted to say this, but it seemed a bit too arrogant, and the other party might not believe it. So, in the end, he could only nod his head helplessly.
"A mage who escaped from the Holy Shit Kingdom..." Seeing this, the old man's tone sounded even more surprised, even a little surprised, "So, you are an adventurous mage?"
