Chapter 238 023: Bounty Hunters
Angel handed the cloth bag to Luo Xi: "Master Wizard, can you take a look at these? These are what we collected from the dead spirits we defeated on the road before."
Luo Xi took the cloth bag and took a quick look at it. There were about twenty blue crystals in it, and their quality seemed to be apprentice-level. However, with their strength, it would be impossible for them to get higher-level ones.
Luo Xi nodded and said, "This is exactly what I need. I'll buy them all. You can calculate the market price for me."
The three of them quickly shook their heads.
"You're welcome. We are so grateful to you. How can we accept your money?"
"If it weren't for you, we would have died at the hands of the undead. Compared to this, what are these things?"
"Yeah yeah!"
Luo Xi didn't hesitate to nod and put the blue crystal away. From their description just now, this amount of blue crystal was probably about 1,800 magic stones, so there was really no need to worry about so much.
Seeing Luo Xi accept the blue crystal, the tension on the faces of the three people subsided a little. They all believed in equal exchange. If Luo Xi didn't want anything from them, it would make them very uneasy.
This amount may not be a big deal for Luo Xi, but for them, 1,800 magic stones are their life and property. It is reasonable for them to use this in exchange for a life-saving favor.
Luo Xi continued: "By the way, I have another question for you guys."
The three of them hurriedly said, "Please speak."
Luo Xi asked: "I saw on the map that there should be a wizard gathering place here. I'm looking for it, but I can't find it. What's going on?"
As he spoke, he took out the map.
The three of them stretched their heads to take a look and soon understood. Jerome explained, "So you are talking about the Red Castle Market Town. We moved away not long ago, so you can't find it."
Luo Xi raised an eyebrow: "Moved away? Did something happen?"
Angel explained: "The undead tide broke out nearby some time ago. There was no choice but to move."
Luo Xi asked in confusion: "The Tide of the Undead?"
Jerome nodded: "Yes, this happens frequently in the Undead Ruins."
To put it simply, this is roughly a natural phenomenon that exists in this area. The specific cause is unknown. We only know that every few years the breath of death in certain areas of the Undead Ruins will suddenly intensify, and the undead of this generation will collectively revive.
There are Sigramar artifacts buried in the ruins thousands of years ago, and there are also bounty hunters who accidentally lost their lives while wandering in the ruins.
Once the undead tide is formed, it will quickly attack all living creatures in the surrounding area. There are so many of them that even towns where wizards gather will find it difficult to resist. Therefore, once the undead tide breaks out, the town will leave as soon as possible.
Jerome said: "This happens frequently in the Undead Ruins. We are used to it."
Luo Xi suddenly realized: "I said so"
It seems that the problem is not with the map he bought, but with the area itself.
Luo Xi then asked: "Do you know where these towns moved to?"
Jerome pointed at the map and said, "We moved here, to Moon Lake."
Angel next to him asked, "We can show you the way. Excuse me, but is there anything urgent that you need to do in the market town? Maybe we can give you the information you need."
Luo Xi explained: "I need to find an airship and head up there."
As he said this, he pointed to the sky above his head. This was not something that needed to be hidden.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Luo Xi raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
Jerome scratched his hair and explained, "You finally asked the right person. If it were someone else, they might not be able to help you solve your problem. This is because there is only one place with an airship in this generation of the region. Even if you go to the market town, it will be useless."
After a pause, he pointed to Angel next to him and said, "That is Randolph Wizard Tower. Angel's mentor is Wizard Randolph. He is the only one in this ruin who owns an airship."
"I see."
Luo Xi nodded, and then said to the little witch: "Thank you for your help. I will pay you accordingly."
Angel pulled the sides of her cloak and bowed: "You are too polite. It is Angel's honor to be able to serve you."
At this time, Kane, who had been silent, said: "If we are going to Lord Randolph, can we stop by there?"
As soon as he said this, Jerome and Angel beside him glared at him, and he quickly covered his mouth.
Is there any secret that can’t be told?
In the wizarding world, it is very impolite to pry into other people's secrets privately, so Luo Xi did not ask any more questions.
He pretended not to hear: "So when can we set off?"
Jerome coughed and said, "Ahem! If possible, please wait for a moment. We need to rest and adjust for a while. We may not be in a good condition to travel now."
Just now, the three of them had really tried their best when they were besieged by the undead. Although they survived in the end, they all suffered injuries of varying degrees. It was not easy for them to stand and talk to Luo Xi now.
Luo Xi was not a person who liked to waste time. He could clearly see the injuries on the three of them at a glance. He immediately took out three test tubes of magic potion from his space ring and handed them to them: "Just consider it as a reward for leading me on the way."
"This is"
As a magic apprentice, Angel immediately recognized what kind of potion it was and was immediately shocked: "Recovery potion!"
She quickly returned the potion: "This is too expensive. We can't accept it."
The market value of a recovery potion is one thousand magic stones. They may not be able to earn that much in a month. It is simply not something they can afford.
Luo Xi shook his head: "This is nothing to me. Compared to this, time is the most important thing to me."
Three thousand magic stones really mean nothing to him now.
"That"
"Thank you very much, Master Wizard."
Jerome and the other two exchanged looks, and finally bowed deeply to Luo Xi and drank the potion.
Under the powerful effect of the recovery potion, the injuries on the three people were visibly receding quickly, and their originally pale faces were visibly improving.
In just a few moments, Angel and Kane recovered as before. Only Jerome still had some abnormalities. His old wrinkles and withered hair remained the same, but his complexion was much better. (End of this chapter)
