"Good morning, Your Excellency Soth.

My master, Ebenezer Arbor, sends his greetings and thanks you for the powerful magical item you put so much effort into crafting.

This is the 50,000 gold coins he promised, and a small gift to express his gratitude. "

The sun had just risen from the sea level when a well-dressed butler arrived at the Happy Hour Inn and handed over a small box wrapped in gold, silver and gems.

The value of this box alone would be no less than 500 gold coins.

Not to mention that the box also contains 50 bills of exchange with a face value of 1,000 gold coins, which can be used directly as gold coins in most transactions, or exchanged at the temple of the goddess of wealth.

But the money is secondary!

What really caught Zuo Si's attention was the blue leather glove in the box.

Although no identification or recognition had been done yet, he had a feeling that the gloves must be made of the skin of a blue dragon.

Because when your fingertips touch the leather surface of the gloves, you can immediately feel a slight numbness.

That was the static electricity emanating from the surface of the dragon scales.

Out of his strong curiosity about the magical items, Zuo Si did not hesitate to release the magic [Identification] that he had prepared a few minutes ago.

moment!

The information about this glove suddenly came to mind.

【Dragonization Gloves】

This is a powerful magical equipment that allows the wearer to gain some of the abilities of a blue dragon.

Lightning resistance increased by 50% [Lightning Spell] three times a day (power equivalent to LV9 warlock) Gloves can be transformed into dragon claws to attack (considered as +2 natural weapon)

Once per day, you can transform into a half-dragon for one minute.

In the half-dragon state, you are completely immune to all forms of lightning damage, paralysis and sleep effects, your strength attribute increases by 8 points, and your constitution, intelligence and charm attributes each increase by 2 points.

Gain the breath ability of a teenage blue dragon, darkvision, a pair of wings that allow flight, and a strong, powerful tail.

Since the whole body is covered with dragon scales, the physical defense is also greatly improved.

"Are you sure this is a 'little' gift from Ebenee Abbott?"

Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Based on his current understanding of the value of magical items in Faerun, if this thing were to be sold, it would cost at least 100,000 gold coins.

Especially the transformation into a half-dragon once a day is very practical for both melee professions and spellcasters.

Most importantly, as a gift, it is a bit too expensive.

The butler smiled and replied, "That's right! Before I left, the master specifically told me not to refuse. He said that he might ask you to help make some magic items in the future."

"In that case, I'll be polite. Please express my gratitude to your master for me."

Zuo Si quickly took off the Ram Ring and put on the [Dragon Transformation Glove] on his right hand.

The moment the dragon skin came into contact with the skin, the gloves, which had originally seemed a little large, shrank rapidly under the effect of magic, fitting perfectly to the thickness of the palm and forearm.

Like most high-level magic items, this glove is enchanted to adapt to the wearer's size.

"I will definitely convey it. If you have nothing else to say, I will go back and report first."

After saying that, the butler placed one hand on her elegant chest and bowed, then turned and left the inn.

Standing on the windowsill, watching the other party disappear in a carriage at the end of the bustling street in the morning, Zuo Si quickly took off his gloves and checked them carefully.

Unfortunately, many of the magic and skills used were things he had never seen before, so he had no way of judging whether there were any problems or defects with this magic item.

After struggling for a long time, Zuo Si stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Strange! Why would Ebenee Abo suddenly give me such a big gift?"

He didn't think that the current head of a large family that had been passed down for hundreds of years and a large slave owner who kept hundreds of slaves would have a change of heart and want to repay someone who had helped him.

However, Zuo Si did not hesitate for too long. He quickly put on the [Dragon Gloves] and took out the follower card - Alena of Flame, and paid a full 10 points of general magic in one go.

The next second...

The whole card releases a golden light!

Immediately afterwards, a woman with a red body walked out from the fire.

She looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with long fiery red hair and three-dimensional facial features. Even through the loose fiery red robe, one could still vaguely feel her impressive figure.

Coupled with that proud and domineering expression, you will be attracted by its powerful charm even if you just take a look at it.

"You little thing are the master I am about to follow?"

Alena raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing an undisguised scrutiny.

Unlike summoned creatures like soldiers and leopards who have extremely strong obedience, she clearly has her own ideas and subjective consciousness.

"That's right! My name is Zuo Si, you can also call me Soth, and I'm a novice planeswalker. Nice to meet you." Zuo Si briefly introduced himself.

"My name is Alena of Blazing Flame. You can just call me Alena. If you don't mind, could you give me some coins from this world first? I'm craving alcohol and I really want to have a couple of drinks."

The newly summoned follower asked for money without any hesitation.

It is not difficult to tell from the way she keeps licking her lips and swallowing her saliva that she is probably an old alcoholic.

After noticing that the other party's personality seemed a bit difficult to deal with, Zuo Si immediately frowned and asked, "As an arcane spellcaster, you actually drink?"

"Why not?" Alena shrugged nonchalantly. "Don't worry, alcohol doesn't affect my combat and spellcasting. Quite the opposite! Strong liquor can even increase the power of fire magic to a certain extent."

"Well... okay. Here are 100 gold coins. I think it should be enough for you to drink for a while. But let me be frank with you. You can drink, but you are not allowed to leave this inn, and you are not allowed to cause trouble."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zuo Si finally took out a small purse full of gold coins from his bag.

According to the card instructions, if you want to win the loyalty of "Alena of Flame", you must first win her favor.

Satisfying the other person's desire for alcohol is obviously the simplest and most direct way to win their favor.

He didn't want anything unpleasant to happen as soon as they met.

"Aha! The sound of gold coins colliding is always so pleasant! Thank you very much, my dear little master. I knew you wouldn't let me down."

Alena bent down boldly and kissed Zuo Si's cheek hard, then snatched the purse, rushed to the lobby on the first floor in two steps, and ordered a glass of the strongest and most expensive wine in the store - Dragon Drunk.

And the price of this wine is one gold coin! Then she raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, opening her mouth and spewing fire from her throat, while laughing like a madman.

She proved with her actions that she was by no means an obedient "good baby".

The soldier who witnessed all this walked directly into the room with breakfast and said in a slightly worried tone: "Master! I have a feeling! That woman will be trouble! A huge trouble!"

Zuo Sishen nodded in agreement: "I understand what you mean. But the problem is, given the danger of this journey, we need Alena's strength and help. So keep an eye on her for me and don't let her cause any big trouble."

"I'll do my best. But she's obviously not the type to listen to advice easily, so you'd better not get your hopes up."

As the soldier spoke, he placed the food on the plate on the table.

"I know……"

Zuo Si muttered helplessly, sat down and began to eat at a very fast speed.

His schedule for the day today was quite tight, and he had no time or energy to waste on anything else.
