Chapter 6: Hospitality in Swan Gate Lane

The gallows square, as soon as Wang entered the square, he saw the gallows erected in the middle.

What surprised Wang the most was that the gallows was perfectly integrated into the scenery of the square, making you feel that there should be a gallows in such a place full of fish and dragons, and nothing else is suitable.

The prisoners executed this week were still hanging on the gallows, and a group of crows stopped at the top of the gallows as if no one was there, guarding their "big meal".

A new crow wanted to join them, but was beaten by the crows and left in despair.

Wang frowned and looked at the flying crow until he lost sight of it.

Mark also noticed his actions and asked, "Wouldn't that be your familiar? That crow."

"Yes."

"Why choose a crow? Don't mages generally use bats, cats, or salamanders as magic pets?"

Wang: "The crow magic pet can talk."

Mark: "Just because of that?"

"Correct."

The swordsman had an unbelievable expression on his face, but he suddenly turned his head and yelled at the stray who didn't know when he was approaching: "Get out! Your collie Jim will nod and bow when he sees me!"

The waifs scattered and disappeared into the inconspicuous dark alley near the square.

Wang: "Shepherd dog?"

"Yes, the bastard who used these orphans to make money. If these orphans can survive and grow up smoothly, they will eventually become a new generation of sheepdogs. By the way, this is the path I should have taken." Mark said in a deep voice explain.

Wang: "I've read a book from another plane called "The Wandering Child". At the end of the story, the protagonist finds his biological mother, who is a rich girl, and finally..."

Mark interrupted the mage with a hearty laugh: "This is very similar to me. I met the eldest lady and now I have become her loyal dog. At least I have no worries about food and clothing."

Wang: "Indeed, with that alien face book..."

"Let's talk about your familiar." Mark interrupted him.

"Ah, magic pet. What happened to the magic pet?"

"You chose the crow as your magic pet just because it can talk?"

"Yes, according to my teacher, talking magic pets are the only magic pets commensurate with the status of archmages. He also gave examples of the archmages who wanted to subvert the world in legendary stories, all of them used crows, and they also It will make the magic pet talk badly on the protagonist's adventure."

Mark frowned and looked at Wang: "That master...is he a character like this? It's different from the bard's poems."

Wang: "That's it. What he likes to do most is to use his crow familiar to command us apprentices. So I also made a crow familiar, and then found that it is really convenient for the familiar to talk. I often use the familiar to Order food in the cafeteria, and the meal is already on the table when people arrive.”

Mark: "Canteen?"

"You can just understand it as a restaurant in the tower."

Mark: "It sounds like your tower is full of life."

"Well, there are more than 100 mages living together, so it doesn't matter if you don't want to be lively. After a while, the half-made golem ran away, and then the summoning spell went wrong and the magma from hell flowed in..."

"Stop!" Mark held up his palms and made a stop gesture, "Save this and tell the lady. She will probably like it."

Wang: "Will she?"

"Of course, I told her about my wanderings on the street, and she listened with great interest. Well, let's get down to business, is there a problem with this gallows?"

Wang: "No. I can indeed feel the magical aura in this square, but it should not be part of any large-scale magic. In fact, I felt the detection magic pointing at me as soon as we entered this square."

Mark: "That's normal, after all, a spellcaster with a strange face appeared on the Gallows Square. This is the intersection of Swan Gate Lane and Mouse Street. See that mouse-like sign over there?"
"That's a tavern, and the street behind is the famous Mouse Street.

"Did you see the swan sign in the opposite direction? It's the most famous smokehouse here, and the back door is the Swan Lane."

As Mark was explaining, a dagger was attached to Wang's neck.

The drow who appeared suddenly pulled the hood up slightly, exposing his lips slightly: "Mage, detection and detection is not a spell that three-ring apprentices can cast. How did you feel the detection pointing at you? Even the school of prophecy can't do it." Do it without casting spells?"

"Successful detection and detection can let me see the image of the person who detected me, and at least let me know his direction." Wang calmly replied, "And I just felt the aura of detection magic. But I It is not known where the caster is or who he is."

"Hey, I'll just trust you for now. But... you didn't cast the mirror image this time, did you run out of spells today? It's too careless to prepare only one mirror image."

Wang grinned: "No, I just don't feel any malice from you. You also know that the spells that mages prepare every day are limited. Of course, you can save as much as possible."

Drow: "A mage of the school of prophecy who can feel maliciousness... I have never seen your type."

"My teacher also said that I am very talented in the school of prophecy." Wang said in a complete statement.

He paused, and added: "And, I can predict now that we will be troubled."

Mark silently adjusted the position of the long sword on his waist, putting it in a place where it could be pulled out more easily, and stared at the men with malicious intentions who surrounded him: "You don't need to predict this, mage."

Among the people who came up, someone seemed to know Mark: "Hey, Mark, is it fun to play house with Her Royal Highness? When will you be able to sleep with her? Or have you already slept?"

Mark put on an oily tone: "If I were you, I wouldn't say such things in front of our wanderers, after all, right... who hasn't been alone yet, I don't want to become Unclaimed corpses in the stinking ditch of Swan Gate Lane."

At this time, the person who looked like the leader spoke: "'Don' wants to know the ability of your new mage. After all, the fact that he was sent by the portal this morning has been known throughout the city. Some people even swear by it To put it bluntly, it is the gate to another world of the Nine Rings, which was opened from the demiplane of a certain archmage."

Wang was suddenly overjoyed: "Really? Who recognized it? I want to meet this person who recognized the spell. He must be a master who is proficient in nine-ring spells."

He frowned in the middle of the speech: "But it's not right, just now Mark told me that the court archmage visiting here can only skillfully cast eight-ring spells, so I infer that this plane is rarely proficient in nine-ring spells." man of spells."

Mark: "Is it possible that the person just heard the spell of the gate of the other world in the poems of the bards, and just said it casually?"

Wang said "oh" and gave a thumbs up: "reasonable!"

Mark said to the little boss who had just spoken: "Did you see that? Go back and tell the great Don that the princess' new mage is an idiot."

Wang: "This Tang, is it a kind of respectful title? Like 'Daddy' or something? Or a nickname? It's also similar to Dad."

Little Boss: "It's a respectful title. Mark, you know Don doesn't like being perfunctory. So you see, we have to do something to test the strength of your new friend..."

Wang: "You mean, you are going to prepare a test for me? How to test it? Answer questions? Quick spell casting competition? I noticed that there are also spell casters among you. Could it be that you want me to compete with him?"

All of a sudden, the audience was silent.

The little boss suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, Mark, you mages are very humorous."

Mark said helplessly to Wang: "They mean that they are going to fuck us."

Wang suddenly realized: "Oh! So this is the content of the test!"

As soon as the words fell, the drow's dagger accurately hit the little boss's eyes.

The next moment, a smoke bomb rolled out of her cloak, and after a crisp bang, Wang's vision was completely obscured by the smoke.

The figure of the drow who was still next to the king just now disappeared completely in the smoke, and only the screams of the enemy let people know what she was doing.

Wang muttered: "You have deprived me of my vision."

While speaking, his hand has already taken out a small group of transparent jelly from the spell-casting material bag, with something like eyelashes suspended inside.

In fact, it was the eyelashes, from a junior in the tower who was eager to provide spell-casting materials.

With the casting materials in hand, Wang completed the gesture accurately and quickly, and the spell came out of his mouth accurately and clearly at the same time.

The gel in his hand vaporized and disappeared in an instant, together with the eyelashes in it.

Then his figure disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, someone shouted in the smoke: "It's an invisibility spell, that mage is invisible!"

Another voice cursed: "Don't worry about this, find a way to dispel the smoke bastard!"

As the voice fell, a gust of wind blew away the smoke.

The drow was driving a dagger down the throat of a fourth wretch.

With his back against the gallows, the warrior assumed a defensive posture, guarding both sides of his body with a short sword and a long sword.

As for the mage, the mage is missing.

Drow: "Mark, can't you kill one?"

Mark: "I don't have as much murderous desire as you. And... well, I admit that I am not as good as you."
