That pipe was the second pipe that Lin had made. Unsurprisingly, it had been snatched away again.
And when would the second woman who snatched away his beloved thing smoke? Would she smoke after the deed?
No! Except for the first time, Fen would take out the pipe and smoke. Then, she would go crazy. At that time, someone would usually end up very badly.
So, when he saw the golden pipe being taken out, Lin panicked.
It was not good to act on one's own, especially when faced with a strong woman. Lin broke out in a cold sweat as he watched Fen knock the finished tobacco into the cup that was still filled with tea. His fragile heart jumped so hard that it almost jumped out of his mouth.
"Got it," Fen said with a smile. "I've changed my mind. I'll give this to you." Then, she got up and was about to leave.
Someone's eyes widened and he said in a daze, "I was just about to …"
Before he could finish, he was slapped on the head. Fen cursed, "Go to hell! Let's go! If you don't, you can stay here and keep them company. "Left with no choice, the person could only follow behind Fen and leave like a wronged wife.
When they reached the door, they were stopped by a brawny man. Fen, however, said coquettishly in a childish voice, "Oh, you're not satisfied with leaving the thing behind? Do you want me to stay too?" At the same time, she stretched out a slender finger and pressed it against the burly man's chest, giving him a gentle push. That person retreated in a daze, his eyes staring blankly ahead.
However, the other people in the reception room did not notice this abnormality. Babic did not seem to want to leave any room for gossip. He did not express anything about his subordinate's concession. He simply followed behind politely and sent the beauty in front of him and his subordinate to the door. He raised his hand and said, "Farewell, Mr. Mage." He watched them leave the Chamber of Commerce.
His change of address meant that he did not acknowledge Fen's identity as a Grand Mage. Plus, Fen's performance just now gave Babic more reasons to look down on a Mage who was not strong enough.
When he was already far away, a wretched young man beside him said with a flattering smile, "Congratulations, Master. You've helped that person obtain that item. You'll definitely be valued highly and your future will be limitless."
"Hmph, you're just a wild Mage from the Wildlands. How dare you wear two Golden Spikes? I was just scaring them, and they didn't even dare to bargain. They just ran away. "
"But Master, that woman is really beautiful. Why didn't he make her stay? He believed that those old mages would be very interested in a beautiful mage. At the very least, they can withstand being ravaged. "
"Take your time. There's no need to rush. You'll get it sooner or later. Moreover, it seemed like they still had other benefits on them. Let's find out where they are staying and pay them a visit another day. I'm going to meet the guest and report the good news. You should also send the things to the VIP room. "
"Yes, Master."
The conversation between the master and servant caused another steward of the Chamber of Commerce to frown. Unfortunately, the other party was deeply trusted by the higher-ups and had the support of many veteran Mages. Thus, his position was stable and difficult to shake.
Seeing Babic proudly heading to the VIP room, a trusted servant came to his side and whispered a few words. When the steward heard this, his eyes widened and he asked, "Is what you said true?"
"Yes, Sir. Very few people know about the three-headed monkey mark, but it's also very special. No one else will use it. "
He thought of the man beside the beauty. He was rather inconspicuous, but he was the person everyone wanted to find. As for the 'outsider', the identity of the great magician with two golden tassels hanging from his neck was also obvious. Such a combination backed down just because of a little coercion today? No matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. Hopefully, it wasn't something terrible. The steward prayed in his heart.
In the VIP room, Babic smiled charmingly, trying to please a Great Mage who was holding a maid of the Chamber of Commerce and playing with her wantonly. He was a little old, with a head full of white hair and a beard, but he had a strong body that didn't match his age. Even without the use of auxiliary spells, the tall and voluptuous maid resisted with all her might, but she still couldn't escape from the devil's claws.
Even though Babic came in to report, he couldn't stop the Great Mage. However, the steward didn't care. He said with a smile, "Sir, I didn't let you down. I've already helped you get the item you mentioned. My servant is about to bring it over. You can take it away immediately. "
"Oh, you're so fast. How much did you pay? "
"Hey, you definitely won't believe me if I tell you." Babic didn't keep him in suspense. He extended a finger and said, "Not a single cent. That's right, just like you heard, we didn't pay them a single cent. In fact, the situation was already decided after I let my subordinates into the reception room. They didn't dare resist, so they could only hand over the item respectfully. "
"Oh, you mean that I don't have to pay you either. In any case, you didn't pay any price. "
Babich laughed dryly. "It's not the same thing, sir," he said. We put in a lot of effort, so we should at least get some compensation. Damn it, these lazy guys, why aren't they bringing the item over? "As if he wanted to change the topic, Babic turned his head and looked at the door. The servant who was supposed to be holding the item was nowhere to be seen.
Babic wanted to curse a few more times, but the wretched servant he sent out stumbled in. He gasped for air in horror, unable to say a word.
Seeing this, Babic cursed angrily, "Damn it, did the mountain collapse? Or did the Underground World come looking for trouble again? "
It wasn't a secret. The bottom of the mountain fortress was connected to a certain Underground World. There were often invasions from the Underground World, but it was just small skirmishes. After it was discovered that the area belonged to the surface people, which was actually under a Magic Tower, was a fortress built by the Dwarves, no Underground World residents came to die. The passage was blocked, which was equivalent to abandonment for the Underground World people.
However, what the wretched servant was afraid of wasn't the attack of the Underground World residents. His face was pale, and he said in fear, "Two people, that thing ate two people."
"Bastard, what are you talking about?" Babic felt that he had lost face and cursed angrily, "What do you mean by eating people? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"No, Master." The wretched man had a long face. After catching his breath, he said clearly, "No one can touch the thing in the reception room. As long as you touch it, it's like you've been poisoned. Blood will flow out of your eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, and your hands can't let go of that thing. In the end, a tentacle-like monster will reach out and wrap the person who touches the item into it piece by piece. Other than a pool of blood, there's nothing left. "
"Damn it, what the hell is that?" Babic was shocked and looked at the Archmage who made the request for help.
That strange encounter also attracted the Archmage's attention. He pushed away the disheveled servant and said, "Where is the thing? I'll go and see it myself."
"Yes, Sir, please come with me." Babic was more than happy that this person was willing to go personally. He led the people into the reception room. The subordinates guarding here all stood close to the wall as if there was something terrifying in the room.
The container that was radiating seven-colored spiritual light was still sitting on the table, as if nothing had happened. However, the two pools of blood on the table reminded others that two lives had just been lost here.
When he got closer, the Archmage became even more excited and said, "As expected. This aura should be the thing I'm thinking of. "
"Sir." Babic smiled, but it was a bit ugly. He asked, "May I ask what you're talking about?"
"Don't ask, you're not qualified to know. This kind of thing depends on the person who takes it. If you're not strong enough, you'll only invite death. "
After being choked, Babic didn't dare to make a sound. The Archmage was full of confidence. He chanted a sealing spell and added it to his arms. It seemed that this thing couldn't be taken directly. Then, adding a layer of protection to his arms was the right thing to do.
After adding several layers, the sealing technique was about to materialize and encircle his arm. Only then did the Great Magician cautiously use a finger to touch the container. He was sure that he wasn't like the others who would be stuck and unable to let go after touching it and die.
After confirming that there was no problem, the Archmage held the container with both hands and sensed the thing hidden inside. However, the moment his consciousness came into contact with it, the world he knew changed completely. A large amount of information poured into his mind, and most of it was meaningless. He didn't even have time to think of getting rid of it before his consciousness was drowned in a sea of junk information. He was already dead.
In the eyes of others, the Archmage wasn't like the others who touched the container. First, his face was bleeding, then his body withered, and finally he was rolled into the container piece by piece as if he was being eaten.
When he picked up the container, he stood still as if he was possessed. In the next moment, his entire body was rolled into it as if he had never been standing there. Of course, the container in his hand fell heavily to the ground.
This collision broke the container, which wasn't very sturdy to begin with, and a gap opened.
It didn't matter if it didn't open, but once the gap opened, the terrifying aura was no longer blocked and spilled out. Those who had some strength in the reception room could still run out, but more people just squatted down with their heads in their hands. They went crazy. The magic light on Babic's body was broken every time it flashed. He couldn't resist at all.
Finally, he ran out of the reception room before all the life-saving props were broken. Babic fell to the ground in horror and looked at the fog that kept corroding outside in panic. His mind was in a mess, and he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him.
