Witcher starts with Get Inspiration Panel

Richard lowered his flying altitude on a hillside far away from Pentos City and landed slowly. After taking the two most important parchments and magic stones, he planned to let the hippogryph find it on its own. Gone to eat.

With the domino in hand, Richard could contact the hippogryph at any time and was not worried that the hippogryph would never return.

After thinking for a while, Richard put away the school's standard wizard robe, put on a black wizard robe without any markings, and walked directly towards the city gate.

The strange thing is that no matter the ordinary civilians, carriage drivers, richly dressed aristocratic descendants, or even the heavily armed city gate guards coming and going, it was as if they had not seen Richard at all.

Richard calmly walked into the most prosperous city in the Heron Kingdom - the imperial capital of Pantos.

Without using any witchcraft, Richard asked a few passers-by in a pleasant manner and then found out the way to the Marquis Knight's mansion.

but

Richard pondered for a moment and took out an ordinary map from his arms, which contained the contents of the entire Kingdom of Heron, especially the Wizard's Market.

In the imperial capital of Pentos, there is naturally a wizard's market.

It is also the most prosperous wizard market in the entire kingdom, and is managed by the Bannings family, the royal family of the Kingdom of Heron.

Although Richard himself thought that with his first-level strength, there should be very few opponents in the entire imperial capital who could match him, let alone a hereditary marquis family.

But he still planned to go to the wizard's market first to learn about the information related to the Knight family before making a decision.

Generally, information and clues related to extraordinary powers are sold in the wizard market.

"Since I'm already here, there's no rush at this moment. It's safest to decide many things before taking action." Richard thought.

After all, this was Richard's first time in the imperial capital of Pantos, so for him, Pantos was still a relatively unfamiliar place.

Following the instructions on the map, Richard turned left and right. After a while, he came to a lively street in the east of the city and started looking for a tavern called Sword and Rose.

Soon, Richard saw a thick long sword and several lifelike rose patterns painted on the billboard of a store.

Exactly the place you were looking for.

Before going in, Richard drank a bottle of fluctuation-suppressing potion again to hide his true mental fluctuations. After all, a first-level high-level wizard would be too shocking wherever he went.

Although they did not drink the fluctuation suppression potion, a group of ordinary people and apprentices could not see the depth of Richard.

But as the most prosperous wizard market in the entire Heron Kingdom, it is impossible that there are no official wizards in it, so it is better to keep a low profile.

After drinking the potion, in the eyes of outsiders, Richard is a proper first-level wizard.

Wearing a hood, Richard felt the warm atmosphere inside as soon as he walked into the tavern.

The tavern was filled with people of all kinds, almost all of them bragging and chatting with foam at the mouth. It was as noisy as a vegetable market. Judging from their attire, most of the people were mercenaries wearing leather armor and swords or axes. host.

Richard took a casual look and noticed that several people with the strength of wizard apprentices were also drinking quietly at the bar.

In an instant, Richard knew that he was in the right place.

And according to Richard's guess, this tavern should be just one of the entrances to the market.

Setting the entrance in a crowded tavern was quite clever. The large flow of people passing through the tavern just concealed the underground wizard's market.

Richard walked slowly towards the entrance of the basement and saw an iron door at the entrance.

There is a square window on the iron door, and the indifferent face of a middle-aged man can be seen through this window.

When the middle-aged man saw Richard approaching, he asked coldly: "Who is he?"

Richard could clearly sense that the man behind the door was just an intermediate knight, and he would be responsible for dealing with ordinary drunkards who strayed into this place by mistake.

But beside him, in an invisible position behind the door, there were two third-level wizard apprentices guarding him.

This is the real guard.

Richard didn't speak, he just released a hint of formal wizard-level aura.

Immediately, someone behind the door said: "Lawrence, open the door and let the adults outside the door come in."

Lawrence was stunned for a moment, and his indifferent face immediately turned into enthusiasm. He quickly opened the iron door, and his expression suddenly changed to a bit reserved.

Lawrence understood that obviously, the only people who could be called "sir" by the adults on the side were those at the official wizard level.

Richard nodded slightly and walked in slowly. As he approached, a man in a gray robe and a hood respectfully handed Richard an invitation-like item with both hands.

"Sir, the rules of the Pentos Wizarding Market are the same as those of other markets. Combat witchcraft is not allowed within the market. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation to the Bannings family. If this is your first time Come, please accept this information about the market."

Richard nodded and opened it. In addition to the first part which contained rules, such as strictly prohibiting fighting in the market, the other parts described the names, locations and main products of different shops, for the convenience of wizards or wizard apprentices who were new to the market. trade.

And according to what was said above, ordinary wizard apprentices, even third-level wizard apprentices, have to pay an entrance fee of one magic stone before they can enter the market.

But it's different for official wizards, who don't need to pay any fees at all.

This can also be regarded as a disguised form of respect for the strong.

Following the direction pointed by the gray-robed man at the door, Richard walked down a circular stone staircase for a while. After about ten meters deep underground, he arrived at the end of the passage.

Looking at the circular arch at the end, Richard could hear a lot of noise coming from it.

Stepping through the arch, it suddenly dawned on Richard that he had finally arrived inside the market.

I saw that the market is located in a huge underground cave dug manually. As for the reason why it can be seen that it was dug manually and not formed naturally.

That's because the top shape is composed of multiple small round arches.

Each small round arch was painted with exquisite murals, and Richard could feel that multiple earth-type witch formations were solidified on it.

At the same time, the prosperity and number of shops in the entire market are much better than the Black Forest Market that Richard has been to before. Not only are there more shops, but there are also more people.

Richard took a moment to get a feel for these people wearing robes of various colors.

Most of them have the strength of second- and third-level wizard apprentices, while a few have the strength of first-level formal wizards.

One significant difference from the Black Forest Market is that here, after a casual glance, Richard saw several formal wizards wearing white robes.

"Tsk tsk, it is indeed the most prosperous wizard market in the Heron Kingdom."

Now Richard understands the connotation of the color of the wizard's robe better than before.

Gray robes are generally the color worn by wizard apprentices, whether they are black wizards or white wizards.

Black robes are generally the color worn by wizards majoring in the negative energy particle system, such as shadows, necromance and other factions. On the contrary, wizards majoring in the corrective energy particle system mainly wear white robes.

But this is not absolute. What caught Richard's eyes now were several official wizards wearing light blue wizard robes.

There are also some who dress more strangely.

Richard saw with his own eyes a wizard wearing a bird's beak hood walking into a pharmacy. The clothes on his body were also made of various gorgeous feathers.

Richard didn't intend to hang around, but took out the invitation, opened it again, took a look at it, and determined the location of the fortune telling shop.

High-end information transactions between wizards are usually carried out in divination shops.

Of course, if it is general information, you can roughly get it by hanging out in a market tavern for a while.

But Richard didn't want to waste too much time on these information that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and he was not short of money, so he might as well get it right in one step and directly spend some magic stones to obtain accurate information.

If a divination shop is strong enough, there will usually be a wizard who specializes in prophecy, which is equivalent to being well-informed.

This is why most high-end intelligence transactions between wizards are conducted in divination shops.

When Richard walked into the divination shop covered by black curtains, a female wizard apprentice immediately came forward and said respectfully: "Sir, are you here for divination?"

Richard nodded.

"Sir, please wait a moment. There is a guest who is doing divination at Lord Yilingo's place. It should be over soon. Please sit here for a while." The girl extended her hand in front of her to guide.

"Okay, do you only have one fortune teller?"

The girl pursed her lips and smiled softly, and said:

"Sir, we have several apprentice-level fortune tellers, but we only have one official wizard-level fortune teller, Mr. Ilingo. This shop is also Mr. Iringo's property."

"And since your status is extremely noble, it is naturally impossible for you to ask an apprentice-level diviner to serve you."

It seems that the girl has long seen the trace of official wizard fluctuation that Richard deliberately revealed.

Richard nodded.

Also, there are very few wizards specializing in prophecy, so it would be great if a fortune telling shop could have a fortune teller at the official wizard level.

It is estimated that this is still taking advantage of the imperial capital.

In a lounge, Richard drank honey water leisurely.

After waiting for a few minutes, the girl came in again and said with a smile:

"Sir, Sir Iringo is waiting for you in the divination room."

"Um."

Richard followed the girl to the door of the divination room.

"Sir, please come in."

Entering the divination room, Richard found that the whole room was very dim, and the only light source came from a candle on the table in front of him.

Under the faint light of the candle, the slim silhouette of a veiled female wizard beside the table was outlined.

The sorceress sat on the side of the table, her eyes with flowing water, illuminated by candles, seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Guest, please take a seat." The voice was slightly magnetic.

"I want to buy some information about a certain wizard in the imperial capital." Richard said straight to the point.

"Yes, but the price of official wizard information is not cheap."

Richard nodded slightly and said:

"I would like to know how Stephanie Knight, a member of the Marquis Knight family, is doing."

"The brief information costs fifty magic stones, and the detailed information requires three hundred magic stones." The wizard gave Richard a meaningful look.

Richard smiled when he heard that there was actually a simplified version and a detailed version.

It’s interesting, you might as well take a look at the contents of the abbreviated version first.

"A simplified version." Richard handed the other party fifty magic stones and said.

After the wizard took it, he immediately started writing on a parchment with a quill, and handed it to Richard a few seconds later.

I only saw one sentence above.

"Stephanna Knight suddenly returned to the Knight family half a month ago. She is suspected to have entered the official level of wizard. She should still be in the Marquis Knight's mansion and has not been out."

Richard was immediately dumbfounded, fifty magic stones in exchange for this?

Is it too easy to earn magic stones? !

Seemingly embarrassed by Richard's blank stare, the wizard gave a difficult explanation:

"If you want to know more detailed information, you have to pay extra. However, since the customer purchased the simplified version of the information, if you purchase the detailed version again, you can just pay the difference."

Richard nodded, which was quite kind, otherwise he would have thought he was in a shady store.

So, he handed the wizard two hundred and fifty magic stones again.

The wizard smiled with satisfaction. After putting away the magic stone, he quickly started writing on the parchment again.

The parchment seems to have been specially treated. After writing on it, the notes will disappear automatically after a while and can be used again and again.

This time the wizard wrote a lot more content, almost filling half the page.

"Stephanna Knight is suspected of being imprisoned. Because she possesses a very high concentration of Spider Woman blood, the Knight Family Elders Council suggested that she contribute part of her blood essence to the family, thereby raising the level of several other third-level wizard apprentices in the family. The strength of the tribe.”

"Stephana agreed, only to be suddenly imprisoned."

"The truth of the matter seems to be that the mainstay of the Knight family, the first-level mid-level wizard Siatt Knight, is about to reach the end of his life."

"And it is also an excuse to let Stephana contribute part of her blood essence to the tribe. It seems that Hiatt Knight wants to extract all the spider woman blood of Stephana's descendant to extend her life."

"The final preparations for the ceremony are still in progress."

The news on this piece of paper made Richard frown and instantly became angry!

Obviously, Stephana was deceived by her elder who didn’t know how many generations ago.

Otherwise, with Stephana's talent in witchcraft, it would be impossible to be imprisoned.

"Is the news true?"

"The news has been confirmed by insiders of the Knight family." the wizard said seriously.

"I want to buy another piece of news. The overall strength of the Knight family is not related to combat power."

"The simplified version is one hundred magic stones, and the detailed version is five hundred magic stones." The wizard said quickly.

Richard immediately placed five intermediate magic stones on the table.

The wizard's eyes lit up. After collecting the intermediate magic stone, he immediately rustled on the parchment and started writing again.

When she handed the parchment to Richard, Richard looked at it carefully.

"Siat Knight, a first-level wizard, whose talent is Spider Storm."

"The wizard-level combat abilities that have been won over include: Edgar Burriggs, a first-level wizard with no talent for witchcraft, good at ground stabbing, and a wandering wizard."

"."

After reading this, Richard felt calmer. It was just a bunch of chickens and dogs.

Moreover, since Stephana's life was not in danger, she just wanted to inquire about another person.

"Let me ask one more person." Richard said slowly.

"I want detailed information on Daenerys Bannings."
