Casting spells

He would not take a huge risk to teach the daughter of the archmage to use the destructive "Flame Storm". Once something goes wrong, there is no guarantee that he will not be angered by Anslem Ruinvivor.

"Damn it! Your current tone is as annoying as the old man's." Caitlin gritted her teeth and cursed, angrily disappearing at the end of the dark passage.

Watching the rebellious girl leave, Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head indifferently, took out the notebook he carried with him, and began to make a list of things to do on this trip to Azeroth.

According to his plan, first of all, the current mage profession template should be upgraded to level [-], and a certain amount of magic equipment should be obtained to fully equip himself.

Secondly, go to Dalaran to ask the archmages about the knowledge and mysterious items obtained from the world of Song of Ice and Fire, especially the mysterious energy rich in red meteorites. You must thoroughly understand it.

Finally, and most importantly, with the help of the rich collection of books in the Dalaran library, build your own general magic theory to prevent your power from being severely restricted and weakened when you enter the next world.

Because of his high concentration, Zhang Cheng didn't notice the passage of time at all. By the time he closed the notepad, the severely damaged wooden sailboat had quietly sailed into the neutral port of Booty Bay.

Unlike the small place in the game that can be run in a few minutes, Booty Bay in reality is a huge port fortress built on the mountainside.

The part near the top of the mountain is a military area, where not only a large number of artillery, catapults and ballistas are placed, but also a large number of guards stationed 24 hours a day.

Because of the towering mountains as a barrier, neither the beasts of Stranglethorn, nor trolls and ogres can really threaten the city.

If there is a large-scale land invasion, the goblins only need to seal the only entrance and exit, even if Zul'Gurub's trolls are dispatched, they can't expect to be able to break in.

The part of the coast is a trade area, which is mainly made up of a large number of wooden boards and abandoned ships. At a glance, it looks like a shanty town and slums on the earth.

But the people living there are not poor people with nothing, but adventurers, pirates and businessmen from all corners of the world.

Some of them loudly sold goods and rare magic items that they did not know where they got, and some picked and bought their favorite things in the noisy market, which seemed extremely lively.

"Welcome to Booty Bay, my friend, this is a paradise for trading!" the goblin captain shouted loudly.

"Yes, this is a paradise for trade." Zhang Cheng, who came to the deck at some time, took a deep breath of the fishy sea breeze, narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Weapons, spices, food, herbs, various magic metals, gems, cloth, enchanting materials...

Everything that is available in Azeroth can be found here, even slaves.

The goblins have fully demonstrated how greedy and cruel the power of capital is without any legal and moral constraints.

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Cheng. He neither has the lofty moral superiority of some people, nor the noble sentiments of white leftists to save everything in the world. Instead, he wants to take advantage of this unlimited market To collect things that are useful to you.

In this way, with an adventurous mood, the broken ship under Zhang Cheng's feet slowly docked beside the port plank road.

After paying a free tax to his kind, the goblin captain made a beeline for the residence of the port city's ruler, the magnate Rivegaz.

Obviously, the goods in the warehouse are not ordinary goods at all, so he needs to ask for instructions before deciding how to pay.

Zhang Cheng is not worried about his salary being hacked. Maybe the goblins are greedy, but their commercial credit is unquestionable. Once an agreement is reached, even if it is a loss, they will do it.

Chapter 285 The Great Rich Man

As expected, about 10 minutes later, a goblin wearing a white shirt, black vest, and a pair of black leather shoes appeared within Zhang Cheng's line of sight.

Following him were two heavily armed goblin guards and a male tauren wearing a captain's hat.

There is no doubt that he is the founder and owner of this neutral city, and also the behind-the-scenes boss of the Blackwater Pirates, the famous Revigaz.

The tauren is the titular leader and fleet commander of the Blackwater Pirates-Kara Cape.

It has to be said that when the tauren and the goblin appeared at the same time, the strong height difference and body shape contrast suddenly made the painting style weird.

At least Zhang Cheng thought it was very interesting, and he took the initiative to bow with a smile on his face: "It's a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency Rivegazi, the rich man."

"Hello, human mage from the Kirin Tor Council. I have heard Tim's report on what happened at sea. Thank you very much for lending a helping hand at a critical moment. Although I am not satisfied with the high price you paid for the robbery , but business is business, because this batch of goods is very important, so I am going to convert your share into gold coins, I don't know what you want?" Revigaz straightforwardly expressed his intention.

Compared with the preoccupied character of ordinary goblins, he is undoubtedly much more generous, and he has no intention of haggling afterwards.

After all, he cared more about resource monopoly, market possession, and the smooth flow of trade routes than a mere loss of gold coins.

As long as there are no problems with these, no matter how much money is lost, it will be doubled sooner or later.

"May I venture to ask, what exactly is the cargo on this ship that would cause the Bloodsail Pirates to attack at the risk of war?" Zhang Cheng glanced at the black wooden piles that the dock workers kept bringing out from the cabin. box, tentatively said in a low voice.

"Sorry, this is a commercial secret, no comment. You just need to know that you can get [-] gold coins as a reward. Here, here is a money order. You can use it to go to Treasure Bay, Ratchet City, Gadgetzan , any goblin city in Winterspring to withdraw [-] gold coins, and now we'll settle the matter." As he spoke, Revigaz directly handed over a special piece of paper with a magic anti-counterfeiting pattern printed on it.

"Without knowing the type of goods, how can I be sure whether the [-] gold coins are more or less?" Zhang Cheng didn't immediately go to pick up the money order, but asked back with a half-smile.

As a suspicious person, he instinctively felt that there were ghosts in those boxes, and they were definitely not ordinary goods.

There was a dangerous gleam in Revigaz's eyes, and it took a full minute before he forcibly held back and let his men swarm up to kill this annoying human, and warned with a sneer: "Master, you know best, here is the hidden Treasure Bay, not Stormwind City or Dalaran, my word is the truth and the law. If you don’t want to get yourself into trouble, you’d better take this money order and disappear from my eyes immediately.”

Seeing that the other party had a tendency to turn his back on him, Zhang Cheng immediately put away his curiosity, took the money order and spread his hands pretending to be innocent: "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to pry into your secret, I just don't understand it. .Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Oh, by the way, you don't mind if I stay in Booty Bay for two more days to do some shopping?"

"Booty Bay welcomes everyone who comes to trade, whether it's a businessman, an adventurer, a robber or something else. But please remember, there are rules here, and once you break it, you will be punished."

As the last word fell, Rivegazi ignored anyone, personally escorted the wooden box unloaded from the boat, and went straight to his residence.

He looked so nervous, even in his own territory, he was afraid that someone would suddenly jump out and snatch it.

The abnormal behavior of the goblins naturally aroused Zhang Cheng's interest.

But he wasn't stupid enough to follow immediately, instead he put on a nonchalant look and started to stroll around the market.

"Hey! Mage! I have a good staff here. I wonder if you are interested?" Before walking far, a dwarf with a red beard shouted loudly.

"Bring it to me." Zhang Cheng subconsciously stopped and looked at the small booth full of small pendants such as rings and amulets, as well as weapons and armor.

The dwarf with a straightforward personality didn't talk nonsense, and pointed directly to a magic staff emitting purple light on his right: "Here, this is this, see for yourself. I found it from the corpse of a troll witch doctor, maybe he came from it." Someone else snatched it, or he might have made it himself, so I think it should be quite valuable."

"what……"

As soon as Zhang Cheng held the staff in his hand, he immediately felt that he was more closely connected with the arcane energy, which meant that the power of the spells he cast would increase.

According to the game, the biggest function of this staff is to increase spell damage, which greatly increases the power of all damage spells.

You must know that even in the magic kingdom of Dalaran, equipment and props that can increase the power of spells are quite rare. It is unavoidable to encounter one at a roadside stall in Booty Bay now.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this staff?" The dwarf asked with a puzzled expression while stroking the big brown bear sitting beside him.

Judging from the fine leather armor and black musket on his body, he was probably a hunter from Dun Morogh, and the bear was his tame combat partner.

"No, it's nothing, how much do you plan to sell it for?" Zhang Cheng quickly shook his head and asked the price.

From the shape of the staff, the amethyst inlaid on the top, and the handle in his hand, he has almost recognized the famous name of this staff in the game.

That's right!

This is the Jordan staff that has been fired at a sky-high price by countless players.

A superb epic weapon that can be used by French players until level [-] without replacement.
