Chapter 74. Miss Tequila
After leaving the underground, Char changed her clothes and rushed to the downtown area.
As the symbol of a spell caster, the tall wizard tower stood tall on the Golden Avenue, where every inch of land was worth gold.
The thing looked thirty meters tall, but it was actually only fifteen meters tall. The other half was created by the mages' illusions.
In a mage desert like the Kingdom of Rugao, the number of mages was like the number of officially registered football players in China. The proportion was too small, and each of them had bad feet. Even the Kingdom of Rugao had to find ways to flatter these bad feet. After all, mages were a strategic reserve resource. Although everyone was united under the central management of the leadership of the United Holy Kingdom, they still had to be strong.
The Azure Arcane Puppet at the door blocked Char and really asked for money.
Char threw out [Slow Curse], and the puppet's movements instantly froze. After detecting Char's identity as a spellcaster, it slowly moved away.
Ordinary people needed to pay money or reputation to enter, but spellcasters did not need to.
There were still no players in the mage tower's courtyard. They were all familiar faces. Char registered herself at the front desk and became a member of the mage tower in Astan City. She even received a weekly allowance of 2 silver coins.
Of course, the premise was that he had to kill a certain number of monsters. Otherwise, he would not have such a benefit.
"Please contact Mr. Jones in Element Room 7 and tell him that someone is visiting."
Char said to the lady at the front desk in a low-cut dress, her eyes as focused as possible on the other party's face, and she smiled politely.
This move won the other party's favor. The little sister, who had a face of 9 points and a figure of 90 points, immediately wrote his request on a magic short stick and threw it into the fireplace to burn.
A few minutes later, a young voice came from the fire.
"Let him come up."
"You can go up now," The young lady said sweetly.
"Thank you," Char replied.
"Do you want to know my name?"
Char turned around and smiled. "There's no need. You're my Miss Tequila."
[Miss Obley's favorability toward you has increased.]
Mage Joey Jones from Element area Room 7 was also a Half-elf.
However, unlike Char, who was a Half-elf, Joey's mother was a pure-blooded Light Elf. That was why Joey was very talented as a mage. He was already a level 35 Elementalist at the age of 21 and was one of the few powerful mages in Astan City.
When Char arrived at the door of Room 7, the door opened by itself without him knocking.
He walked in and saw Joey standing by the window, looking in as usual.
The window was wide open, and the cold wind whistled past, but the mage in thin clothes did not care.
Although he was a mage, Joey Jones' body was as fit as a Barbarian's, and he looked like someone who had walked out of Street Fighter.
"You're looking for me?" Joey asked.
Char closed the door without a sound.
This action made Joey a little wary. He frowned and put his finger on the short wand.
"Don't misunderstand, Jo. I have no ill intentions. Don't worry, no one can smell the remaining smell of [Magic Drink] in the air."
Before he spoke, Joey was only nervous, but after he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he threw an icicle almost instantly.
It was not just because of what Char said, but also because of the intimate way he called him!
Char opened the cabinet on his left before he could lock on to him. He pulled the cabinet door open and used it as a shield.
Then, a scream came from the front.
The scream was from Joey!
"No..."
Buzz!
The icicle was stuck on the surface of the cabinet after piercing through it. The wooden cabinet was actually made of metal!
The force of the icicle removed the door from the cabinet, but it did not slow down. It flew out with Char and only stopped when it hit the wall.
Char deducted a few insignificant HP and immediately got up, turning the cabinet door around.
On the other side of the wide cabinet, there was a Green-skinned Goblin bound by a belt and rivets. However, he was still asleep. Fortunately, the icicle had hit the side of his head by a hair's breadth. If it had been a little more off, it would have taken his life.
This was also the reason for Joey's exclamation. He had regarded this Goblin as more important than his own life, but he had almost killed him by mistake.
That would really cost him his life.
"It's truly a blessing, or else JoJo would have died." Char laughed as he untied the Goblin from the leather strap. He grabbed his thin arms and legs, and a strong smell of medicine mixed with the stench of a long-forgotten bath hit his face.
Joey was cautious and did not dare to act rashly.
The development of the matter had completely exceeded his expectations. This person was filled with an inexplicable feeling from head to toe, and it made him very uncomfortable!
"Put him down! Who are you? Don't call me Jo anymore!"
"I'm here to save you, Joey." Char shrugged. "Can you not point your wand at me? What if you accidentally hurt JoJo?"
Joey gritted his teeth and put down his wand, but he still took two steps forward.
"Stop! Don't think I don't know you're a level 22 Boxer. Stand five meters away from me. "
"Who the hell are you?"
Joey said hatefully, but he had no choice but to compromise. He saw that the other party's hand was placed on JoJo's neck.
The truth was that Joey did not have the talent to become an Elementalist. He had only gotten to where he was today because of the Goblin that Char controlled.
He was like the protagonists of the popular online novels about good-for-nothing counterattacks, who had gotten a golden finger that could make medicine by chance. However, his cheat was a Goblin, a little Goblin tortured by drug addiction.
The relationship between the two could not be considered a slave. They could even be said to be close friends.
Joey had saved his life in the snow and ice, thinking that he was just an abandoned little goblin, so he had named him Jojo. After that, they got along quite well. However, as time passed, he discovered that the other party's alchemy was so brilliant that it made one's hair stand on end, and he began to cooperate with them. In return, he had helped JoJo obtain all the Soul-forming Grass he needed when his drug addiction acted up from the black market.
Only the two of them knew about the Jojo incident, but Char had uncovered his biggest secret with a single sentence.
Not long ago, JoJo's drug addiction acted up, and he did not have enough Soul-forming Grass, so he had to knock him out and hide him. Before Char came up, he had been trying to make [Magic Drink] on his own, but he had failed. Therefore, there was a strong smell in the air, and they had to open the windows for ventilation.
He had temporarily hidden JoJo on top of the cabinet door that no one would dare to open. He had cast an illusion on her so that even if someone opened the door, they would not notice that something was tied to the door.
However, his disguise was broken by an icicle.
The situation was very awkward.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Char suddenly pry open JoJo's mouth, Joey shouted out in excitement, "Save him."
Char said as he sprinkled some Soul-forming Grass powder into the Goblin's mouth.
Under Joey's incredulous gaze, JoJo smacked his lips and crawled up. His eyes were fixed on Char's finger, which was still covered in powder.
