Chapter 16 Black Clothes, Masked Face, Flat Chest

  "Respected wizard sir, wait!"

  In a loud shout, slave trader Korrenwi dragged a string of newly purchased female slaves and caught up with Rovi.

  Considering what just happened at the Haldin's, Raskolnikov, who had been walking quickly with Fyodorovna, stopped and turned around.

  "Mr. Colenwe, is there something?"

  Waiting for the slave trader Colen Wul to catch up, Rovi asked as if nothing had happened.

  "Ah, it's nothing big, I just wanted to ask if what you said earlier, Mr. Wizard, is true?"

  Because of his obesity, Kolonwe, the slave trader, who was sweating profusely after just a few steps, asked this question with a smile all over his face while also taking out a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

  "What is real?"

  Luo Wei looked at the slave trader and was somewhat puzzled as to why he would ask him this question.

  "Of course, it's the mercenary identity! Respected Wizard, you really... still have a mercenary identity?" The slave trader's expression was even more astonished than Lovie's, and he quickly added: "I guess you're also aware, Wizard Viro, that as long as one possesses a Ring Stage, they naturally possess a status equivalent to that of nobility among spellcasters, and almost no one would still be willing to become a mercenary who might die at any moment."

  Rovin finally understood what the slave trader wanted to ask, and without using language to answer the question, he once again pulled out the mercenary mission scroll from his bosom.

  "So that's how it is... No wonder I ran into Mr. Wei Luo, the warlock, at that intersection three days ago."

  After reading the contents of the mercenary mission scroll, he already knew about the undead plague incident in Nasserre Mine Village and the slave trader, revealing an expression of sudden realization.

  So, Luo Wei put away the mercenary mission scroll that he had used as his ID for the second time, who knows if there would be a third chance to use this thing... right?

  "Hmm, since Mr. Viro is indeed a mercenary, let's get straight to the point - would the respected wizard be interested in joining our caravan as a mercenary and making a trip to Kandia, the mountain city? Please rest assured that as long as the caravan can safely arrive at Kandia, the issue of mercenary pay is not a problem at all. How about 10 silver Galdon per day?"

  The slave trader who had confirmed Rove's mercenary identity surprisingly spoke out words that seemed to want to hire Rove.

  "I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this mercenary mission, Colonel Wyle. I have some other matters that require my attention."

  Rovin looked at the slave trader with a seemingly smiling yet not smiling gaze, and without giving it a second thought, refused the other party's high-priced employment offer. Rovin then took Felicia and left directly.

  "Mr. Rovin, why did you refuse Mr. Colenwil? Even riding a long-haired Lei beast, it would take at least ten or more days to get to Kandia..."

  After turning the corner of the street, Felicia, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke to Rove after glancing back several times.

  "Felicity, I know you're still pitying those sisters of yours, and I also know that ten silver gilders a day is no small sum, but you should also understand the principle of earning money to live but not living to earn money."

  Luo Wei let go of Felicia's small hand and turned around without looking back, saying this.

  If the road to Kandia was safe and unobstructed, yesterday should have arrived Asrat's slave merchant Colenwi, how could he stay in this declining town for so long?

  For businessmen, time is money...

  So, don't mention ten silver galdos a day. Even if Colonel Waren pays ten gold galdos a day as mercenary fees, Rovie will definitely not take this job, because he is not only a fake mercenary but also a fake undead wizard.

  Felicia was a clever girl, so after hearing Rove's words, she didn't say anything else.

  A moment later, Rovin led Felicia and the two corpses into an inn called Bull's Run near the center of Aslat Town.

  "Ah, welcome to Running Bull Inn! Honorable sir, madam and two...two..."

  A hotel waitress who was dozing off suddenly jumped up to greet them, but after clearly seeing the two servants following Luo Wei with green lights flashing in their eyes, the second half of the welcome words that should have come out were choked back due to fright.

  "Is there a better room?"

  Rovi stretched out his right hand in front of the stunned hotel servant and shook it twice, then asked with a straight face.

  "Ah - yes! We have the best rooms in all of Aslat, and the very best one even has a view of Lord Nelson's rear courtyard!"

  The hotel staff hastily replied, even if it was while answering and scanning the two corpses behind Rovi with a fearful gaze, at least this hotel staff could answer questions normally.

  However, after finishing speaking and habitually turning around to take the key from the wall, the hotel service staff's expression suddenly changed to one that looked like they wanted to slap themselves in the face.

  "Yes, I'm sorry to say, esteemed sir... no, Wizard-sama, the best room is already taken. Yesterday a slave merchant came to our inn and booked eight rooms at once, including the very best one. Now there's only one room left in the entire inn."

  The hotel service staff who had stiffened and turned back said in a fearful voice.

  For the poor hotel service staff, nothing is more terrifying than facing a legendary undead lich. He fears that he will anger the white-faced undead lich in front of him and end up like the two miserable souls following behind the white-faced undead lich, unable to return their souls to the spiritual realm while their bodies are turned into zombie servants.

  Unfortunately, Luo Wei didn't have the slightest intention of scaring the hotel service staff to death. Upon hearing that there was only one room left in the hotel, Luo Wei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's just take this last room, please show us to our room and then arrange for a more sumptuous lunch."

  As they spoke, Luo Wei casually pulled out a silver coin and tossed it to the hotel attendant as a deposit for their stay.

  "Alright! No problem at all! I'll take you, esteemed wizard sir, to your guest room right away!"

  Realizing that he hadn't actually offended Luo Wei, the hotel servant immediately felt a sense of joy and relief, and with a whoop of excitement, grabbed the silver coin.

  Following the hotel service staff, Luo Wei went up to the second floor of the hotel and found that the Bull Hotel was in a "匚" shape. The central part was a semi-enclosed courtyard with various livestock, while the other three sides were guest rooms connected by corridors.

  Those three pack beasts belonging to the slave merchant Koran Wir, were indeed quietly lying under the awning, the small houses and numerous slave cages they had been carrying were all unloaded and placed on one side, several guards from the caravan with knives and whips at their waists were wandering around nearby.

  "Ah, you're just in time! When is lunch going to be ready? My companions and I are starving!"

  Luo Wei was looking around, when a burly man with shaved head and three braids of beard, covered in tattoos, suddenly rushed out from the inner room, making a thunderous noise while grabbing the hotel servant's collar and lifting him off the ground.

  "Guest, let go! Your master didn't instruct me that the inn should provide lunch. I swear to the gods..."

  The poor hotel service staff struggled desperately but completely in vain, and could only cry with a sad face trying to explain.

  But in the next moment, the burly man with a full face of tattoos, who was holding onto the poor hotel service staff, "flew" out like a thrown paper airplane.

  Plop——

  As the heavily tattooed man crashed to the ground with a loud thud, Luo Wei suddenly found that in front of him appeared a woman wearing tight black clothes and a black mask, covering her entire body except for her two shiny black eyes.

  Luó Wēi felt that the black-robed and masked person standing in front of him should be a woman, although she didn't have breasts.

  "Shut up." The black-robed, masked figure was indeed a woman. She immediately spoke in a slightly husky female voice, saying words that made it impossible for anyone to look directly at her: "One-Ring Wraith Witch, immediately withdraw your gaze from my chest, otherwise... I don't mind throwing you, little white face, down as well."
