This lich needs more money

People stood up in 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 has been specially trained and is good at discovering secret rooms and secret passages. "

The stars began to look at the two adventurers.

There is nothing special about the ranger named Hareth, except that 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 seemed to have seen through the misery of life, and had entered a certain state of desirelessness, with his eyes becoming 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 infiltrate 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 these 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 hidden by Fanxing. Both of their skills were considered superb.

Just talking about the quote is a bit outrageous.

The thief Hasting paid three thousand gold coins at a time, and was only responsible for sneaking in. He was only willing to walk out of a safe passage into the mage tower, and was 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."

This was too irresponsible to say, and the quote of three thousand gold coins was 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 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, it's definitely worth five thousand gold coins.

Just when Fanxing was hesitant to bargain again, Hasting suddenly said: "When you paladin are looking for someone to cooperate, don't you have to use evil detection first?"

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

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

I originally wanted to use the lich's methods 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 exploring a mage tower.

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

The reason why they still stay in this ghost place is entirely because they met Amber Xiu before, and both brothers' savings 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.

Anyway, the Nine Kingdoms are so big, and there is no way the Lion Empire would chase them to the ends of the earth for a few hundred gold coins.

The abacus was good, but they underestimated Fanxing's caution.

After discussing the price with the two for a long time, Fanxing finally hired two people at the same time with four thousand gold coins 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 Elgasis, the Stone Skin Technique, and the Mage Shield at the same time. This kind of protection is enough to block my full-power 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 Elgasis can temporarily strengthen their vitality and cover them with a layer of frost. Any enemies that get close 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.

When these three defensive spells are superimposed, it is really invulnerable.

The two quickly put away the potion, 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 pets."

"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."

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

The two brothers immediately understood that this 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 beat them. 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.

Hastings \u0026 Harles:…

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

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."

"Yes, just replace the lockpick or something."

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 \u0026 Harris:? ? ? ! ! !

Why did the name that the paladin said just now sound so familiar? !
