Chapter 1224 Harlan Chamber of Commerce, Lame Mage

Jarlaxle Harlan was undoubtedly Lord Harlan's trusted relative, and therefore, Shado had more confidence in the subsequent bargaining.

Soon, Shado followed the clues given by Evans and found the location of the Harlan Chamber of Commerce.

In front of this station is a very deserted store with almost no goods. The back is structured according to the common chamber of commerce station structure in the trade area, which is usually a warehouse, as well as residence and office space.

Before entering the store, Shado changed his illusion disguise at a street corner and replaced it with Derrick, the chief business officer of Savileland, that is, the Master of the Tower of Time and members of the Institute of Advancement, Edrich and Ai Derian's father.

Faced with such a familiar face, Xia Duo felt a little weird, but if he was asked to use his true identity to meet a businessman like Jarlaxle Haran, he felt even weirder, and it would not be nice to spread the word. .

In addition, using one's true identity to negotiate the price, whether the price increases or decreases, is not a good thing for Xia Duo.

Contacting the other party as an ordinary person would bring this transaction into the normal category. Perhaps the other party would take Derrick's background into consideration, but this would be within Sha Duo's acceptance range.

You can't completely hide your identity, then others may not sell it. Furthermore, the manor must be put into use, so why is it necessary to hide your identity?

…

After asking the clerk at the store where the Harlan Chamber of Commerce resided, Shado learned that Jarlaxle Harlan was in the chamber of commerce at the moment, so he decisively "identified himself" and made a request to meet:

"I come from the Saville Territory in the south. I am entrusted by the senior arcanist to discuss business. Take me to see the president of your chamber of commerce!"

This guy seemed a little stunned, and he seemed to have never heard of Savileland at all, but he still knew what a senior arcanist was. He immediately left the store with almost no goods and ran from the station.

While running, he shouted: "President Jarlaxle, what's wrong, a senior arcanist is here, and he wants to discuss business with you!"

Maybe he was really not smart, but in a sense, this guy really got it right, and Xia Duo didn't take it seriously.

If the local senior arcanist of Netheril is still a little reserved about his identity, then he is not at all. He just doesn't want to use this existing identity with obvious superiority and inferiority to "suppress" the other party. .

In other words, Xia Duo has become a senior arcanist physically, but in his heart he still thinks that he is an ordinary person and has never been separated from the masses.

However, he also believes that he is an advanced element and leader among the masses, a model, an example, and even a pioneer!

At the same time, he did not want to appear too different in the current environment, so he chose to appear as someone else.

…

Soon, a middle-aged fat man with disheveled clothes rushed out of the station in a posture that was almost rolling to the ground, and stopped in front of Xia Duo.

He first looked at Xia Duo carefully, and then with a backhand, he patted the guy just now on the head with a seemingly heavy hand, "I made you scream nonsense! I made you scream nonsense!"

While fighting, he also paid attention to Sha Duo's expression. Sha Duo didn't care. He just smiled and said: "President Jarlaxle, there is no need to hit him. Although I am not a senior arcanist, I also represent a senior arcanist." Arcanist comes."

"cough--"

Upon hearing this, Jarlaxle immediately stopped, with a smile on his face, and asked: "Excuse me, this guest, who do you represent-"

"I'm from the Savile Territory in the South. Who do you think I represent?" Although Xia Duo is hiding his identity at this moment, he will not be too low-key, and he still needs to show off his performance.

This is not three years ago. Today's Savile Territory is relatively well-known in Severington. Most of this comes from Chateau——

The creator of [Arcane Puzzle], an outstanding commender of the Green Plane War, a participant in the Princess's Ascension Ceremony, an outstanding pioneer, and most importantly - a senior arcanist.

Hearing Shado say that he was from the Savile Territory in the south, the smile on Jarlaxle's face became even brighter. With his round face, he almost looked like an old chrysanthemum shivering in the cold autumn wind.

"Guests please come in!" Jarlaxle extended his hand as an invitation.

"President Jarlaxle is welcome."

With that said, Xia Duo followed the other person towards the inside of the station. As he walked, Xia Duo was also observing the station which covered a relatively small area.

To be honest, the desertedness was beyond his imagination, far more deserted than what he saw outside.

The door of the warehouse was almost open, and there were no goods inside. There were only two mages lying on the chairs at the door, chatting. When they saw Jarlaxle bringing someone in, they didn't care at all. They pretended not to see it, and even their bodies Didn't move.

Sha Duo was thoughtful when he saw the certification marks representing high-level mages embroidered on the robes of the two mages.

Perhaps the Harland Territory is facing a difficult moment, otherwise how could a territory that could purchase a manor and invest in a settlement in Severton only use these two crappy mages.

Yes, these two so-called high-level mages are bad mages in Xia Duo's eyes, and the high-level mage certification marks on them should be real.

But it’s because it’s true that he is a bad mage, and a wild mage at that.

Generally speaking, no mage in a normal mage tower organization would certify their spellcasting level. This thing is usually used as a proof of salary level when they go out to work.

Moreover, even if the spellcasting level is certified, most wild mages will not embroider the certification mark on their robes, so how much do they care about this level!

Even if a mage union affiliated to the Arcane Federation cares so much about the certification level, it is basically impossible for him to be a serious mage.

Xia Duo still remembered the scene when he received the certification of spellcasting level from the mage union in Savile. When he was told by the union mage that he could increase the certification level by adding money, his outlook was shattered.

As long as you have money, even an apprentice can be certified as a great mage!

"Perhaps these two people are not high-level mages at all, they are just here to cheat and drink!"

Sha Duo couldn't help but make such an inference in his mind, and followed Jarlaxle to the innermost part of the station. Along the way, he didn't see a few people in total.

Except for the two high-level mages who were suspected of cheating people out of food and drink, there were only a team of less than five guards training in the corner of the station, a middle-aged maid who was boiling water, and a steward who was sorting out paperwork.

Jarlaxle led Shado past the steward and walked to the innermost room. At this moment, this room, which might have been the president's temporary office, had almost been emptied.

However, Chateau can still see some remaining traces of decoration. If this place was in good condition, it would indeed be a good reception room, but now——

Somewhat shabby.

However, from the beginning to the end, Jarlaxle's face showed no negative emotions such as embarrassment, helplessness or fear, and of course he does not rule out the possibility of superb acting skills.

But if you want to deceive Xia Duo, who has absorbed hundreds of years of acting experience from a drow assassin, even with human acting skills beyond his experience, it is unlikely. After all, the emotional expressions of intelligent creatures are the same, even if they are of different races. , can also produce empathy.

For a moment, Xia Duo became curious about Haran Ling's situation.

It seems that it may not be "facing a difficult situation" as he thought at first, but some other situation. Of course, it is not necessarily good, but more likely to be bad.

Xia Duo has already made a guess about this, and it depends on whether his guess is accurate or not.
