Muyan's bard spell is still effective until now. When Xia Duo moved the barrels in the wine cellar, it was not as difficult as it used to be, and he moved out easily.
And when he came near the counter with the wine barrel, he happened to hear that Old Neil was boasting with several adventurers that his son was about to join the Wizard Tower, and he might become a real wizard in the future.
Haha
The adventurers obviously didn’t believe that Little Neil would become a mage so easily. They all laughed at them one by one. Old Neil was not angry. Instead, he compared Xia Duo. "You see that Xia is so old, he thinks I have the talent to become a mage. My little Neil is only 16 years old. Who knows the future!"
"Oh? Xia Duo, have you also participated in the Mage Tower exam?" A familiar adventurer happened to see Xia Duo, so he beckoned and asked.
Xia Duo moved the barrel behind Old Neil and put it on the shelf together with Old Neil, before repliing: "I'm just going to try my luck, maybe any Master Master has taken a look at me! I have to dream about it."
Mention of dreams may have touched the softness of the hearts of these adventurers. Since they have chosen to become adventurers, they are more or less dissatisfied with the status quo of life and have some unrealistic pursuits.
At this time, when I heard the word dream, I was a little bit emotional, so everyone was a little silent, "Old Neil, here is a bottle of golden rum."
"Give me a bottle too, today is Midsummer, drinking ale is too boring." Several adventurers demanded gold rum.
Old Neil hurriedly took wine to everyone, with a smile on his face. A cup of ale is only 5 copper coins, but a bottle of gold rum will sell for 10 gold coins, and this bottle can only be filled with wooden wine glasses in the store. More cups.
In the past, these adventurers were not willing to drink such expensive wine. Thinking of this, Old Neil looked at Xia Duo again. At this time Xia Duo was already clearing the table where the guests left.
Old Neil's eyes narrowed and he seemed to have made up his mind. With the help of the bard's spell, Xia Duo, who was facing the old Neil, clearly felt a malicious gaze behind him.
With a silent sigh in my heart, the movements on his hands kept moving. Xia Duo has decided to leave the hotel as soon as possible, but the question is how to spend the three days waiting for the results of the assessment. Regarding the familiarity with Savile Town, a hundred Xia Duo is better than nothing. Go to Old Neil.
As for leaving the town, Xia Duo never thought that in the town, Old Neil might still have some scruples, but if he goes outside the town, there is really no way.
In addition, goblins and beasts that grow like weeds are often wandering outside the town. It is also a problem if you encounter them. If you are not lucky enough to meet the orcs, it is better to be a dark worker in the old Neil’s inn. People only live. There is hope.
Xia Duo couldn't figure it out. Old Neil was willing to send his children to the Mage Tower, but he was unwilling to accept Xia Duo to join the Mage Tower. Doesn't he know how many friends are there?
Still, he thinks he has no hope of becoming a mage?
If you can choose whether to cross, Xia Duo would rather choose not to cross, but if you can choose the way of cross, then Xia Duo of course chooses to wear a soul through a minor noble child.
In that case, his situation will at least be better than it is now, and it will be easier to touch spells.
Although the assessors of the Mage Tower did not refuse Xia Duo's reference assessment because of Xia Duo's age, Xia Duo could still feel that their expressions and behavior were not optimistic.
But what about that? After traveling into this world, Xia Duo knows that if you can’t master the power, it’s no different from grass mustard. At any time, you may be slapped to death by a drunk adventurer, or killed by a magical spell by a passing wizard. Death, even going out of town occasionally may encounter goblins, orcs.
In short, if you don't control your power, you will never be able to grasp your own destiny. You can only follow the changes in the outside world. Xia Duo doesn't want to think about it in the future, because she regrets giving up now.
In Faerun, in the empire, only magic can be called power (the magic is also counted, but Xia Duo cannot agree with the doctrines of those gods from the heart, so he cannot become a priest and master the power of magic).
The mage tower assessment is an opportunity, and the bard Mu Yan is also an opportunity, and Xia Duo is naturally unwilling to give up easily.
……
The town of Savile on Midsummer Festival is much more lively than usual. Most adventurers will not choose a mission on this day, but stay in the town to enjoy the joyous atmosphere of the celebration. Of course, this is only a secondary reason.
The real reason is that on the Midsummer Day, the glorious waiter of Amanata will distribute holy water for free on the square in the center of the town after the celebration. This holy water can heal certain minor injuries and inflict heavy damage on evil creatures. Usually a small bottle of at least 25 gold coins is required.
But today, because of the celebration, Amanata will give extra brilliance, and the radiant waiters will collect the brilliance bestowed by the gods to make holy water and distribute it to the people participating in the celebration on the spot.
Otherwise, what else can make these money-seeking adventurers waste a day of hunting, just to have fun on this day? Obviously not.
As the evening approaches, there are no more guests in the Old Neil Hotel. Because the Midsummer Festival celebration is about to end, this is the last chance to participate in the celebration. Once the sun goes down, the opportunity to receive holy water is lost.
Anyone who tries to get through the blunder can not escape the justice of the guardian of the Amanata law. Those caught will be gauntled, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and banned from participating in the evening bonfire party.
Therefore, everyone who wants to get free holy water will not miss the opportunity, including Old Neil.
But this has nothing to do with Xia Duo. After the guests left, Xia Duo and others needed to clean up the messy scene left behind. Even Xiao Neil and Aunt Susan were left behind.
……
In the evening, accompanied by the fierce carnival of the crowd outside, Xia Duo returned to a small compartment on the second floor of the hotel. This was his residence for more than half a year. At this time, the magic blessing effect of the bard had disappeared, but he did not Did not feel tired.
Obviously, this kind of magic is not to overdraw the human body's potential, but to replace it with another magical and unnoticeable power. This is magic. At this moment, Chardonnay wants to obtain this power more than ever.
Thinking of the assessment of the Mage Tower, Xia Duo used his own experience to judge that as long as he was not rejected on the spot, the final result should be passed. After all, those assessors have seen the assessment process and should weigh in.
After all, it was originally to recruit servants. For the Mage Tower, if there are good seedlings in the servants, it is gratifying, but if there are none, it is not a loss. Where can I find a servant who only needs 100 gold coins in 3 years?
This is less than 1 silver coin a day at the Old Neil Inn than Chardonnay. If it is not for the opportunity to learn spells, who wants to be a servant!
The people who participated in the assessment at the same time as Xia Duo did not come to make money at all, but were prepared to spend more money, just to make the path of the mage smoother.
Although Xia Duo had already predicted whether he could join the Mage Tower, after all, he hadn't waited for the official result, and he was still a little confused. However, from Old Neil's malicious gaze today, Xia Duo was a little more sure about joining the Wizard Tower.
