Chapter 0008 is actively preparing

After squatting in the hotel room for 10 days, all the food and drink were sent directly into the room by the waiter, and finally understood the surrounding environment, Li Xun felt that it was time to get out of the customs.

The mage badge I got last time was constant with a level 1 spell mage armor, and the mage robe was constant with a level 1 cleaning technique, as for the small dimensional bag, Li Xun is also very proficient, there is about a small cubic meter of space inside, which can only be loaded with ordinary items, and even Arthur's Tears necklace can't be loaded, could it be that magic items conflict with each other? But in a blink of an eye, this problem was left behind by Li Xun, Li Xun's principle is to never think about things that can't be figured out, and you must protect your brain cells.

went directly to the city-state library to return all the books, and then spent 50 gold coins to rent a batch of spell books below level 2 that met his level, although he could read all the books for free as a principality contract mage, but Li Xun had no time to soak in the library, so he had to rent the manuscript at a low cost.

Li Xun left the library and ordered the carriage to go straight to the famous Black Fox Bar.

The genius was bright, the Black Fox Bar had just opened, and Li Xu had already strode in, quietly scanning this strange place. The bar hall is quite large, with more than a dozen round tables scattered around, and the bar counter is inside, and the five waiters either set up round stools, or wipe the tabletop, or sweep the floor, all of them raised their heads and looked at the intruder in surprise, I really had never seen such an early arrival in the bar. However, when they saw the gold-trimmed mage robe and the obvious mage badge on their chests, their faces immediately changed, and they bowed down one after another to make way for them. Li Xun directly saw the fat boss in the bar through the way of way, and he was looking at himself with his mouth open.

Anyway, are the owners of the bar so fat? With strange thoughts spinning in his head, Li Xun walked directly to the bar, threw a gold coin on the table, and said simply: "I need a little information!" ”

The fat boss who was still wooden at the last moment came to life in an instant, and a glass of foaming beer was gently placed in front of the mage, and when he returned to his hand, the gold coins on the table disappeared.

"It's my honor to be here, Master Mage!" The fat boss sneered: "I'm the owner of the Black Fox Bar, Teucer, and I'm happy to serve you, I don't know what kind of information the master needs?" ”

"The thieves, the thieves in the principality, especially more than 500 people!" Li Xun tried to take a sip of the otherworldly version of beer, and frowned: "Immediately, the more detailed the better!" ”

Fat boss Teucer froze for a moment, swept around, and saw a few waiters hiding in the distance, before he whispered, "Do you plan to take the line of the Thieves' Guild or go single?" ”

Li Xun said impatiently: "What's the difference? ”

The fat boss Teucer lowered his voice: "If you don't have any scruples, take the line of the thieves' guild, and the information will be more detailed, but you will inevitably have to deal with those with daggers, you are a mage, they don't dare to mess with it, but they won't keep it secret for you." You want to go through the secret line, I know an informant, his mouth is very tight, and he has the information you want, you see? ”

"Take the secret line, you arrange." Li Xun said in a decisive manner.

"Okay! Master Mage, come with me. "Fat boss Teucer led the mage through the small door next to the bar, and through the end of the hallway, into a small wooden house with only a small table and two chairs." Sir, wait a minute, I'll tell him to come. ”

Li Xun sat down quietly in a chair, watching the fat boss Teucer gently close the wooden door, and the footsteps faded away. Although the sky is already bright, the room is still very dark, Li Xun silently analyzes his appearance, although it is very abrupt and direct, but with his identity as a mage, there will be no trouble, and what can he do if he needs the information of the thief group, I don't believe that anyone can analyze it, at most, I think that there is an eyeless thief group that provokes the mage, and the mage intends to seek revenge.

After making up his mind, Li Xun didn't think much about it anymore, and began to close his eyes until there was a soft sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

"Master Mage, I'm here!" A shrill voice sounded, and then a thin young man walked in, bowed, and stood quietly at the table, not seated.

"Teucer told you, right? Do you have the information I need? Li Xun didn't hide it.

"Master Mage, I know all about the famous thieves in the principality, since you want more than 500 people, please rest assured, I know very well!" The young man took a roll of parchment from his bosom and gently placed it on the table.

Li Xun picked up the parchment, slowly opened it and looked at it briefly, nodded with satisfaction, and asked directly, "How much?" ”

The young man's face was overjoyed, and he said respectfully: "150 gold coins, master, this is all the information I know, even the personal information of the controller of each thief group!" ”

Li Xun didn't say a word, took out the money bag from his arms, and poured out 150 gold coins from it.

The young man put away the gold coins, and saw that the master had no intention of talking, and turned to leave after giving a salute.

Li Xun didn't stop, put the parchment paper into the dimensional bag, went to the bar and gave the fat boss Teucer 10 gold coins, and immediately returned to the room of the Pearl Tears Hotel.

After doing it on the sofa, Li Xun couldn't wait to take out the parchment paper and study it. The information in the parchment is still very complete, listing 13 large bandit groups in the Duchy of Novis, including the scope of their regular activities, the main targets of robbery, past "great achievements", and the personal information of the main controllers in the group...... I have to say that the scale of these 13 large thieves is not small, and the number of people has met their own requirements, but 7 of them are concentrated in the southwest of the Duchy of Novis, which is the main business area of the Duchy of Novis, and the caravans are frequent, but the famous two legions of the Principality are also stationed there, Li Xun felt that it was not suitable in his heart, and first excluded these 7 thieves groups; Of the remaining 6 bandits, 3 are concentrated near the city of Slyandia in the southeast, which is also the home of the Knights of the Duchy's Green Palm Forest, which also seems to be inappropriate; There are also 2 bandit groups near the port city of Ancona in the north, which is also a densely populated area, and even if the bandit group is really exterminated, it is not suitable for them to take root there, right? Looking at this last group of thieves, Li Xun thanked God, is there really a group of thieves in this world who is stupid enough to stick the main camp deep in the mountains?

The Blood Axe Thieves Regiment, founded 4 years ago, about 800 people, the head of the regiment, Astelli Blood Axe, is rumored to have barbarian blood, was a sold slave, participated in the gladiatorial fight for freedom, and was not released after the victory, and then the same group of gladiators smashed the iron cage on the tour road and fled, and escaped into the vast whispering forest in the northwest of the Duchy of Novis, and then pulled up a team of thieves, with several gladiators as the backbone, and the combat power was also very murderous. The Blood Axe Thieves never approached Naya City, the central city in the northwest, and mainly looted the large manors and pastures near the Whispering Forest, and the local lords hated them to the core, although they organized several encirclements and suppressions, they were all fled into the forest and fought and retreated, not only did not succeed in the encirclement and suppression, but the lord's private soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Last year was even more ferocious, the Blood Axe Thieves actually sneaked into the private estate of Sir Huenwick, the great lord who organized the siege, and kidnapped Sir Huenwick's youngest son.

Li Xun squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, and the more he analyzed, the more he felt that this Blood Axe Thieves Group was the most suitable target. First of all, the Blood Axe Thieves Regiment relies on the Whispering Forest to attack frequently, and when they are surrounded and suppressed, they also retreat to the Whispering Forest, it seems that they must have a hidden nest in the Whispering Forest, and secondly, the Blood Axe Thieves Regiment is too frequent in the local area, and it is even more serious that it has angered the dignity of Sir Hanwick, the largest lord in the local area, and he can completely leverage his strength in it; In the end, the biggest and best reason is the Whispering Forest, there are too many secrets to show in front of people, so you must avoid densely populated areas, and fight with the Blood Axe Thieves in the Whispering Forest, which is in line with your own wishes. However, he is alone, he is still a pseudo-mage, he is not fully prepared, and he leaves in a hurry, if he encounters a blood axe that obviously has mid-level strength, it is to send a thief's head, and he must have additional help. Li Xun looked down at the thick spell books on the table, gritted his teeth and prayed: "Whether it is a dragon or a snake, it all depends on you, whether I, a pseudo-mage, can learn the spells of this world, can only rely on God's blessing, God, you are merciful, since I have come to this world, I believe you will not cut off my hope of success!" ”

After praying, Li Xun calmed down, picked up a copy of "Principles of Spells" and read it carefully. Thank God, thank you teacher, thank you for mathematics, physics and chemistry, thank you for all the Internet gods, 17-year-old Li Xun is a superhero invincible fan, and he has been mixed in various Internet forums for many years, and he doesn't know much about serious knowledge. With this inspiration, Li Xun read the book "Principles of Magic" three times until a hint appeared in front of him: Knowledge 1.

Li Xun was startled, and hurriedly opened the personal attribute panel, only to find that the knowledge was already 4 points, and he had 40 mana points. Oh my God, attribute points don't just have to be leveled up to get them! Li Xun clenched his hands, his body trembled, and he couldn't hold back so he didn't scream. The good news, really good news out of ten, I have found another way to strengthen myself.

Li Xun walked around the room three times in a row before he could barely calm down, took a few deep breaths, calmed down his good mood, and picked up this book "The Origin of the Mage" and read it slowly. This is a book that explores the inheritance of mages, starting from the rise of the Arcanist era of three thousand years, comparing the similarities and differences between modern mages and ancient Arcanists, and analyzing whether there is some kind of inheritance between them, although there is no direct evidence, but it still caused Li Xun to nod again and again, and it makes sense, but after reading the whole book, I didn't get any hints, and I didn't feel any touch? It's just that the number of times is not enough, Li Xun read it carefully three times from the beginning, but there is still nothing to gain, it seems that not all books can get knowledge, only those who have touched themselves are what they need. Putting down "The Origin of the Mage", Li Xun didn't even notice it when it got dark, so he directly picked up the next book and read it with devotion.

If you pursue something, time will feel very short.

Li Xun has forgotten his original intention, forgot the blood axe thousands of miles away, hungry asked the waiter to bring food and drink into the room, it is simple bread and water, sleepy put the book to the chest, tilted his head and lay on the sofa to sleep, woke up and sat upright and continued to read, during the period there were prompts and did not care at all, just read one after another, while reading and repeatedly pondering, thinking, if you don't understand, there are doubts, never delve into it, just bite it hard, six days later, when Li Xun finished reading one, he reached out and touched the next one. Li Xun looked up blankly, only to find that he had finished reading all the dozen or so books he had brought back. Li Xun laughed miserably, staggered into the bedroom with the support of the wall, and fell on the almost unused big bed, directly losing consciousness.
