Chapter 188 The Inescapable Reality
After Shaoke's words, the fifth-level mage laughed secretly, but he didn't come. But the Roman mage next to him might be because of the familiarity! He just glanced at his mouth a little and expressed that he didn't care about what Shaoke said. Fortunately, he was a little excited and did not pay attention.
"Can you talk to me in detail about why the military headquarters agreed to the request of Master Xueye?" After the mages drank another glass of congratulations, Master Roman started the topic. Of course, this topic at least made the mages pay attention to, so they would not fall into that silence.
The fifth-level female mage nodded and whispered to the two young mages about what happened in the military headquarters. However, she just said in a little detail and finally reminded Shaoke: "Master Xueye, the military headquarters does not want you to violate the order like this and appear again. Your temper is not what a mage should have."
"My temper is a bit bad now." Shaoke admitted without hesitation everything the fifth-level mage said. "If the appointment of the military headquarters is reasonable, this kind of thing will never happen again." After saying that, he added: "There is a precedent for this incident, why can't it be possible to come to me? If it is not allowed, then I have to leave. I don't have to stay in the military headquarters. I have other places to go." Of course, the two female mages in the last place that Shaoke said knew about it.
Faced with Shaoke's defense, Master Roman and another fifth-level mage had to change the topic with a new topic. They didn't want to discuss too much about this past thing, after all, it's meaningless now.
As the fifth-level female mage changed the topic and began to talk about some situations in the imperial capital, the atmosphere between the mages became more harmonious. However, it was a pity that as the music started, the mages' conversation was forced to interrupt.
Shaoke recruited a maid and asked about this matter. He realized that the banquet was held on the top floor of the tavern every night. This kind of banquet was held by nobles or merchants, and guests who were dining here could join this kind of banquet. Of course, it doesn't matter even if you don't know the host.
The tables and chairs were quickly removed by the attendants, revealing enough space for the guests to dance. However, the host of the banquet has not arrived now, so the atmosphere is not so warm, but many guests still stood up and invited female companions or male companions to start dancing. After all, the banquet held here is not so formal, so the guests are quite free.
"You guys talk here now, I'll go dance." The fifth-level female mage turned red with a pair of beautiful eyes staring at the men and women dancing. Her appearance quickly revealed her love for dancing. Seeing Shaoko and others nodding to show their understanding, she quickly stood up, put down the staff in her hand, and moved quickly to the middle. She wanted to find a suitable dance partner there. Although it was not easy to find, the female mage still walked around patiently and worked hard for her interests.
After changing positions, the female mage Luoman continued their intimate conversation. After seeing that no one around was paying attention to them, the female mage Luoman put her little feet between Shaoke's legs and felt the temperature coming from the other person.
"Master Xueye, let's leave here!" After a while, the fifth-level female mage with a pale face interrupted Shao Ke and their conversation. After seeing Shao Ke and the others noticed her, the fifth-level mage added again: "I think this place is not suitable for us, so let's leave!" When the fifth-level female mage said this, her voice even choked, and her small hands tightly grasped her small staff.
"What's wrong?" Looking at the bad expression of the fifth-level female mage, Shaoke immediately realized that there was a problem with the other party looking for a dance partner. And the other party had enough ability to make a fifth-level female mage retreat regardless of his identity. "I want to know what happened." He said here. He inserted his playful staff into the ground bag on his back and covered his cloak. "What exactly made you a fifth-level mage like this?" Shaoke once again asked the fifth-level female mage in front of him with a very ugly face.
After seeing Shaoko's series of movements, the Roman mage grabbed Shaoko's arm nervously and said, "Snowy Night. Can we just take a short rest here and leave?" As he said, he looked at Shaoko with some pleading eyes. Because she knew that it was not that they, the fourth-level mage, could resist. Even if they had the military headquarters as their backing, it was worse that they were not carrying out the mission now. Therefore, the female mage was not sure whether the military headquarters would help them in such a place.
The fifth-level female mage bit her lips hard until blood was left in her mouth. She did not answer Shaoke's questions. She just looked at Shaoke with a pleading look, hoping that the other party would agree to leave here with her. After all, as a high-level mage, she could not leave the other two mages alone.
Looking at the appearance of two female mages, after more than ten years of hunting mages, Shaoko was very angry and suddenly grabbed the table and set it on the inlay.
The crystal cup of fine gems fell on the thick carpet floor and wanted to leave here." Shaoke took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions as much as possible. He found that his emotions were much more irritable than seeing Master Roman. On the contrary, what happened in the imperial capital these days made his temper worse.
"Snowy Night. You should control your emotions. I feel that it is not like you before." The female mage Roman grabbed Shaoko's arm with a worried look on his face and comforted him to calm down. The fifth-level female mage on the side still bit her mouth tightly and followed Shaoko and the others in a daze.
I guess the guests who were still dancing lively were much lonely in Shaoke's business. Fortunately, the mages didn't care and just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
"Dear Master, this is your expense here." The young maid took a piece of high-quality sandalwood paper with a smile on her face and handed it to Shaoko and the others, quietly waiting for the mages to settle the expenses here.
Shaoke took it over and took a look, and said calmly: "The best Flanny blue wine, the other taverns are just three general gold coins, but you have thirty here. The best Xuefeng wine, but there are only twenty general gold coins in other places, but you have 20 general gold coins." Looking at the list above, Shaoke said the normal prices of these wines one by one, and turned his inquiring eyes to the maid, waiting for the other party to answer.
After hearing what Shaoke said about the consumption, their faces became quite ugly. Although they knew that the expenses here would be higher than those in other places, they did not expect that they would be so much higher. This time, the consumption cost thousands of general gold coins. With the one-month subsidy of these two female mages, they were able to pay less than one-tenth of them.
After listening to Shaoke's inquiry, the maid still maintained her sweet smile and explained in detail to Shaoke and the others that most of these alcoholic beverages were placed for more than a hundred years, so they were a little more expensive.
However, the maid's explanation did not satisfy the three mages, because they basically drank some wine provided by the military every few days, so they could easily distinguish the year of these wines, especially the female mage Roman who likes to drink. Her monthly subsidy was all spent on drinking. Fortunately, the magic materials she consumed for the experiment were provided by the Blizzard Legion, so she did not stop the experiment.
The two female mages frowned and expressed their opinions, and the fifth-level mage was not in a hurry to leave now because she did not have enough money to pay for this time. She estimated that all the money on the three mages could not pay for today's consumption.
The young maid once again explained in detail to the mages and explained that the wines were from hundreds of years old. This made the mages helpless. Finally, Shaoke, who was a little irritated, stopped the explanation of the two female mages and tried hard to calm his words and said: "You go and find the person in charge here, I think the next thing is not something you can bear.
"After saying that, he took out a universal gold coin from the magic bag and threw it gently on the ground.
The maid quickly understood Shaoke's movements. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw Shaoke tightening her cloak again and again, she left quickly. As Shaoke said, what happened next was not something she could bear, so she had to find a senior person in charge.
The departure of the maid did not cause Shaoko and the others to leave, because there were several casual servants and maids staring at them tightly, not to mention that the mages did not have much dignity, so they were not allowed to leave like this.
A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes quickly arrived in front of Shaoke and the others under the guidance of the maid. He first glanced at Shaoke and finally looked at the two female mages. When his eyes flashed over the bloody mouth of the fifth-level female mage, he whispered to the mage on the side to take medicine and send it to the mage to use. Of course, the fifth-level female mage refused the other party's kindness without hesitation.
"Three mages, I think you have some misunderstandings about the situation here, so..." After seeing the fifth-level female mage rejecting his kindness, the middle-aged man just smiled slightly and didn't say anything. Instead, he squatted down and picked up the universal gold coin on the ground and handed it to Shaoke.
But Shaoke did not take the gold coin, but repeated the words just now. Finally, Shaoke emphasized again: "We will not pay you extra gold coins, even one gold coin is impossible. Because everything you do now is blackmail. I think you should understand that you are blackmailing three wizards affiliated to the military headquarters."
