Wayne spent a great time here shopping and eating, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, he successfully reached a deal with Old Murray of Klein's Bookstore, purchasing nearly 5,000 books in stock from him and subsequent orders for nearly 10,000 books, covering almost every aspect of Azeroth.
Although not all of these books may be useful, they are still a good choice even as collections.
At least the witch Lani was very happy. This silent Moon Princess' favorite thing in her long life was reading. Even books that were not related to magic could be read with great interest by her.
In addition to these books, Wayne’s biggest gain in the past few days was an opportunity, an opportunity to purchase a high-level pet badge.
Ever since he heard about this thing a few days ago, he has been obsessed with this magic item. You know, in terms of combat power alone, Wayne's destructive power may not be as good as his pet Death Claw, and Robin's defense is amazing. Whether used as a mount or as a meat shield, it can play a good role in battle.
The only thing that bothers people is that it is too large. With a ten-meter-tall body, it will be subject to considerable restrictions when fighting in various terrains. It is not allowed to be brought into human cities, which is undoubtedly a serious reduction in its strength.
But it’s different with the pet badge, according to the information Wayne learned from books in the past few days.
The pet badge is a special kind of magic equipment. It is not a standard equipment that can be mass-produced like a space backpack, nor is it used to store items. Instead, it is a special equipment tailored to the characteristics of the user's combat partner. Each person can only be equipped with one pet badge.
Not only is it expensive and requires special materials, it is also bound to the user and cannot be traded to others.
According to the records in the book, this technology originated from the elven druids. It seems that the power of the Emerald Dream is used to achieve the effect of temporarily storing animal companions.
The effect of this storage is not so much about putting the animal companion into the badge, but rather connecting it to an alternate dimension in Azeroth, temporarily teleporting the pet to that space, and then summoning it back when needed.
Moreover, this equipment is not as convenient as imagined. According to the information recorded in the book, the animal companion stored in this badge can only stay for a maximum of three days. After this time, the animal companion may remain in the space connected to the badge forever and cannot be recalled.
In other words, this piece of equipment can most likely only be used in Azeroth. If it is brought back to the wizarding world, it will most likely become waste.
But even so, Wayne still decided to customize one for himself, so that he could use the Death Claw as a chassis to deal with various emergencies at critical moments.
After all, according to the information he had learned, there were very few masters who could make this kind of badge. If he had not relied on the relationship of Paltress and found a court mage in Stormwind City who was said to be an old friend of His Majesty Faol, he would have found it difficult to find someone to help him make this kind of equipment given his unfamiliarity with the place.
Therefore, it is well worth spending 10,000 gold coins. Not only did I get to know a promising senior priestess as a friend, but I could also use her relationship to enjoy various conveniences in Stormwind City. It can be said that I killed two birds with one stone.
While Wayne was buying various materials in the city and discussing with Partress how to plan the use of the large amount of gold coins, Major Gensett, whom he had met once before, found him again and brought him a rather unexpected news.
"What? Van Cleef escaped?"
After hearing the news from Gengset, Wayne's face became gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice:
It wasn't that he was afraid that the big thief of the Defias Brotherhood would retaliate against him. It was just that this was the first thing he did after arriving in Azeroth, and trouble broke out after just a few days, which made him feel a little unhappy.
Major Genset probably felt a little embarrassed. He smiled bitterly and said apologetically, "He went missing this morning, about five hours ago."
"I only learned about this news after receiving a notification from the military. The city gates are now under martial law. I don't know if Van Cleef has escaped from the city in the past few hours, and I don't know if there are any Defias Brotherhood insiders in the city."
"So, Mr. Wayne, you have to be careful for the next period of time. Van Cleef is a famous assassin in the West Wilderness. Many people who were once hostile to him have died under his assassination."
"This time you caught him and brought him to the military. No one knows whether this guy will retaliate against you after he escapes."
Wayne's face quickly returned to calm after hearing this. He did not vent his anger on Major Genset opposite him. The other party came to inform him of the news because he was worried about his safety. If he met some unscrupulous person, he might not even take the initiative to inform him of Van Cleef's escape.
Such a person is undoubtedly an object of wooing, and Wayne quickly adjusted his mood.
"Well, thank you for the warning, Major Gunsett."
"When you are free, let's have a drink together."
After the major left, Wayne looked thoughtfully towards a certain corner of the street, and a figure he had met once flashed by.
After thinking for a few seconds, he followed. After the figure consciously revealed his whereabouts, Wayne followed him for more than ten minutes and finally came to an alley in the old town.
An ordinary-looking middle-aged man was standing quietly at the corner, seemingly waiting for him.
This man was none other than the so-called chief of MI7 whom he and Weber had never met three days ago.
"Captain Sean, do you want to talk to me?"
Although Wayne knew his identity in his heart, he pretended not to know on the surface, and said with a somewhat annoyed expression: "I actually don't like dealing with intelligence personnel. They always beat around the bush, which makes people feel irritated."
As if he had not expected Wayne to say that, the leader of Intelligence Department 7, Master Assassin Sean who was in charge of Stormwind City's intelligence organization, twitched his lips for a moment, then regained his expressionless face and said, "Mr. Wayne, you are a very powerful adventurer. I have a mission commission here. I wonder if you are willing to accept it."
