This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 56 sounds familiar

Some people stood up in both the east and west corners of the bar, wary of each other and walked towards the stars, showing the appearance of old enemies.

The orc bartender introduced enthusiastically: "This is Hasting, a senior thief who is especially good at cracking traps. The other is Hareth, he is a ranger. His raven is specially trained and is good at discovering secret rooms and secret passages. "

 The stars began to look at the two adventurers.

The ranger named Hareth is nothing special, but his half-elf ancestry is a bit concerning.

As for the thief named Hasting, he seems to be too tall, more like a warrior than a thief. But there was an aura about him that was very familiar to Fanxing—the aura of an ascetic.

This Hasting seems to have seen through the misery of life, and has entered a certain state of having no desires and desires, and his eyes have become indifferent and deep. I don’t know what he went through to reach such a state at such an age.

"I need to find someone to sneak into a mage tower..." Fanxing simply stated his request, but did not elaborate on which mage tower it was. Then he asked a few questions to confirm the professionalism of the two people.

Both of them performed well. The thief could easily break the magic lock that Fanxing brought out, and the raven summoned by the ranger could easily find the magic ring that Fanxing had hidden. Both of their skills were considered superb.

 Just talking about the quotation is a bit outrageous.

Hasting, the thief, pays 3,000 gold coins at a time, and is only responsible for sneaking in. He is only willing to take a safe passage into the mage tower, and is unwilling to continue exploring inside.

"No matter what type of mage tower it is, the danger is too great. It is impossible for me to break all the magic traps and escape unscathed. I will tell the truth, I will run away immediately if I encounter danger."

These words are really irresponsible, and the quote of three thousand gold coins is too outrageous. It's not that Fanxing can't get it out, but that he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

 The other half-elf ranger seemed much more upright, although the asking price was higher, a full five thousand gold coins. But he can guarantee to find a safe passage to sneak into the mage tower, and at the same time guarantee to walk the mage tower from top to bottom. Maybe he can't crack all the magic traps, but he will mark all the suspicious locations and draw a detailed map and give it to the stars.

 It’s a bit expensive, but the conditions are very reasonable.

If you can really figure out the structure of the Lich's castle, five thousand gold coins will definitely be worth it.

Just when Fanxing was hesitating whether to bargain again, Hasting suddenly said: "When you paladin find someone to cooperate with, don't you have to use Evil Detection first?"

Fanxing looked at the thief strangely and asked, "The oaths of some paladins are rather strict, so they will use evil detection first when choosing partners to cooperate with. However, my oath is not that strict."

At an angle invisible to the stars, the half-elf ranger Hareth showed a regretful expression.

Originally, I wanted to use the lich's method to get a "moral compensation", but who would have thought that this paladin has flexible moral standards.

But it’s not a big problem. The two of them have never thought about actually exploring a mage tower.

They just want to get a sum of money from this paladin. Even if it is only a tenth of the advance payment, it will be enough for the two brothers to leave the Alchemy City.

The reason why I still stay in this ghost place is entirely because I met Amber Xiu before, and all the savings of the two brothers were wiped out by this evil lich. They now have no money to buy a horse and are forced to stay in the Alchemy City to try their luck.

If Fanxing pays now, the two brothers will leave the city overnight and never come back.

Since the Nine Kingdoms are so big, it is impossible for the Lion Empire to chase them all the way for a few hundred gold coins.

 The abacus was well calculated, but they underestimated the caution of the stars.

After discussing the price with the two for a long time, Fanxing finally paid four thousand gold coins to hire two people at the same time and let them sneak into Amberxiu's castle.

One-tenth of the deposit was paid on the spot, but after paying, Fanxing took out two bottles of alchemy potions and placed them in front of the brothers. "This is the magic potion I ordered from the Alchemist Council. After drinking it, I can add some defensive magic to you to ensure your safety when sneaking into the mage tower. The effect of the potion will be latent in your body. When you encounter Automatically activated when in danger.

“I will give you the Armor of Igasis, Stoneskin, and Mage Shield at the same time. This kind of protection is enough to block my all-powerful Holy Slash, and it is enough for you to save your lives.”

The two brothers looked at each other and did not expect such a good thing. The value of these two bottles of medicine was higher than the price they quoted.

The Armor of Igasis can temporarily strengthen their vitality and cover them with a layer of frost. Any nearby enemies will suffer freezing damage. Not to mention the stone skin technique, which can really make the skin as hard as rock. The mage shield is completely immune to magic missiles and provides a very good spell defense effect.

These three defensive spells are superimposed, and they are really invulnerable.

 The two of them quickly put away the medicine, preparing to sell it at a good price later.

Who would have thought that Fanxing said to the two of them: "Without further delay, drink it now. It will take some time for the potion to take effect. It's just right to drink it now. Let's go to the Mage Tower."

 “We need to prepare. I want to prepare cookies for my pet.”

 “Yes, my lock pick is a bit dull and needs to be sharpened”

 …

Fanxing smiled as he watched the two brothers perform, but his palm was already on the hilt of the sword.

"Whatever is missing can be solved now, just prepare in front of me. If you leave my sight, I'm afraid I will be a little nervous. You know, once the nervousness is too much, people will become irritable."

Faint holy light flows on Fanxing's palm, and Holy Slash is ready to launch a thunderous strike at any time.

The two brothers immediately understood that the paladin had never trusted them from the beginning to the end, and was going to send them directly to the mage tower.

 Do you want to resist on the spot and then run away directly?

There are two of them and they can't be beaten. It's not difficult to find some tricks to escape, right? Hasting was already ready to reach out for the smoke bomb, and Hares was also ready to summon his beast companion to break the rear.

 But at this moment, the door of the bar was pushed open again, and four more Paladins of the Lion Empire wearing heavy armor came in.

Hasting &Hares:…

This is nonsense. Once they dare to play tricks, these paladins will definitely chop them into pieces with the Holy Slash.

The two brothers could only put on smiles and say: "You're right, time waits for no one, let's go now."

Fanxing smiled and said, "You don't need to prepare cookies and lockpicks?"

“Pets are most obedient when they are hungry.”

“That’s right, just replace the lockpick or something like that.”

Fanxing was very satisfied with the reaction of the two and said to the other teammates: "Let's go, let's go to the territory of the lich Ultraman Tiga now."

 Hasting &Hares:? ? ? !

Why does the name that the paladin mentioned just now sound so familiar? !
