Chapter 189: Settle old accounts

In the secret shop here, Xia Duo was already waiting while looking bored at all kinds of goods in the shop, from potions and scrolls to magic wands and strange objects.
If it weren't for the shelves, counters, and the door to be flashing magical auras at all times, Xia Duo had the idea of ​​looting and slipping away.
But as Xia Duo walked back and forth in the store, the steward stared at him all the time, making him a little uncomfortable.
Just when he waited a little impatiently and was about to ask when the mage who was in charge of the transaction would arrive, there was a messy voice outside the door. "Captain, do you want to have fun after drinking?"
"Then you need to say, didn't the captain have taken a fancy to that'Black Mountain Leopard" early in the morning? Which time did she come to give her gold coins!"
"Ah-let's just say a few words, the mage quickly go in to add the scroll, we are waiting for you outside." As he said, a "mage" dressed as an adventurer walked in from the door, Xia Duo turned around and just met him Sight.
"It's you?"
"Master Master!"
The two spoke almost at the same time, but compared to Xia Duo's calmness, the adventurer "Mage" was not calm.
The person in front of him wore the exclusive mage robe of the Tower of Time. It was obvious that he was the official mage of the Tower of Time, and his "mage" was just a kind words from his companions. The other party knew him, but he didn't have the slightest impression. He had to consider whether he had offended the other party unintentionally, so he asked tentatively, "My lord, do you know me?"
"Yes, how could you not?" Xia Duo almost gritted his teeth, thinking that it was this guy at the beginning, and one [Lighting Technique] asked him for 5 gold coins.
That was the only 5 gold coins in his body. Although Xia Duo passed the apprenticeship smoothly afterwards, he must know that he was even a piece of parchment.
If he had these 5 gold coins, his room for expansion and contraction would be much greater. Therefore, seeing this "culprit" who caused him to lose 5 gold coins again, Xia Duo has a good expression on his face!
"Remember the 5 gold coins of last year's Midsummer Festival?"
5 gold coins? The mage apprentice dressed as an adventurer showed a confused expression at first, but then he thought of something, and his mouth grew wide and surprised: "Are you the civilian at that time? No, you are the one at that time?"
"Humph!"
"My lord--" Hoyle was a little at a loss. He had completely remembered the situation at the time. It was a good practice to collect money by casting spells, but it was wrong for the weak and small civilians to become the official mage.
Since it is wrong, then--
Hoyle took out the purse and handed it to Chateau with both hands, "I accidentally offended an adult last time. Please forgive me!"
As long as there is no immediate attack, it means that there is still room to speak. Hoyle’s reaction is not unpleasant, and Chateau is also a little stunned. Originally, he just wanted to say a few words orally, but the gold coins delivered to the door were also There is no reason to refuse.
If he doesn't accept it, it will make the other party feel uneasy. Xia Duo took the money bag and squeezed it. His voice was a little messy. When he opened it, there were almost 10 gold coins and some scattered silver coins.
There are still silver coins!
Xia Duo was a little dumbfounded. He didn't know how long he hadn't touched silver coins. Looking at the other party with a slightly nervous expression, Xia Duo counted out 5 gold coins and put them away.
"Today I also cast a spell for you. These 5 gold coins were my craftsmanship at that time."
"Yes, yes!" Hoyle promised hastily.
Without any consideration, Xia Duo imposed a light ball on the purse, and then returned the purse. He really didn't like these small coins. Taking back 5 gold coins would be regarded as the obsession before the end.
As for the so-called casting cost, Xia Duo has always sneered at it. If he can really make money by casting, then who will pay for the spells he consumes in experiments and practice!
It is just a reason for the strong to exploit the weak.
Xia Duo knew that even if he was just a mage apprentice, he shouldn't have only this money, but it couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong. After all, it was a question of strength and identity.
If he is still an ordinary person now, the other party must not have such an attitude.
And now he has changed his status to have the qualifications for tolerance, otherwise, as long as the other party says a word, he must pay the money obediently.
But this matter will stop there, Xia Duo waved his hand, "Go busy with your business."
After speaking, Xia Duo turned around.
Hearing these words, Hoyle was relieved and nodded, "Yes, yes!"
After that, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming to the store, turned around and went out and left.
...
The steward in the store saw that Xia Duo had driven the guest away, and he stopped talking, but how could Xia Duo let him speak first, and instead asked first, "Why hasn't your mage arrived yet?"
"This, this--" The manager is a little nervous, "Master Mage is usually busy with business, but it's coming soon. Please wait a while."
After dismissing the housekeeper, Xia Duo was also muttering in his heart, why hasn't he come yet? Xia Duo didn't believe it because he was busy with work. Compared with himself, the really busy mage should be in the mage tower.
How much can the mage outside be busy?
Xia Duo has never dealt with outside mages, but he has been to the local mages guild. It’s like a lazy one. If there is no mages bonus, it’s perfectly fine to say that he is a bunch of idlers.
Even if it is a seller's market now, Xia Duo has limited time for himself, it is impossible to wait indefinitely, and after waiting so long, it will definitely be bargaining for a while!
It seems to have heard the heart of Xia Duo, knowing that the guests will be leaving no more. A well-dressed middle-aged mage with shiny hair came to the secret shop ~EbookFREE.me~guest, within the psychological limit of Xia Duo, Sorry to keep you waiting! "The mage greeted him as soon as he came, with a very kind attitude.
"..."
Originally, Xia Duo was about to complain, but when he saw the person who came, he swallowed the complaint again, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
This person turned out to be the former Mage Union staff member who certified the cast level for Xia Duo. He should be an intermediate mage!
"The wizard's union also sells learning scrolls part-time?"
"Uh-" The middle-aged mage was a little surprised, but quickly concealed his past, "Although I am a member of the Mage Union, I am also a special consultant of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce! How do you call the guest?"
"Just call me Xia Duo."
"Mage Chateau, I don't know which spell learning scroll you want to buy?"
The middle-aged mage seemed to have forgotten that Xia Duo had just verified the casting level with him not long ago, but Xia Duo did not advance this matter, and directly asked:
"What?"
"[Lighting Technique], [Communication Technique], [Secret Technique Seal], etc. are all!"
"..."
What about fooling children? I still want to buy these from you? Coupled with the waiting before, Xia Duo's unhappy expression was no longer concealed.
"Are there any ring 1 or ring 2?"
"Yes, of course! Even the 3rd level spells, Griffizi has them here." Griffizi smiled slyly, "I don't know what spell the guest needs?"
Xia Duo took a deep breath, knowing that the price may not be able to kill today, and he is sure to be slaughtered, but if the price is too ridiculous, he will have feet too! "I need [Summon Mount]."
"..." Griffizi's turn was depressed, and he asked exaggeratedly, "That's it? Nothing?"
