Chapter 365 Mordenkainen’s Mansion Technique
Night had fallen when we entered Neverwinter City, but the entire business district was still brightly lit and the streets were still crowded with people.
"Probably because of the Burning Sun Competition, people from all over the place are flocking to Neverwinter City."
Wanderer Maris said: "Oh, that's the Dragonborn? It's the first time I've seen this race."
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a tall figure wearing a cloak walking among the crowd. Through the shadow under the hood, a face like a giant dragon could be seen.
In addition, everyone can also see halflings, half-orcs, and even elves and other races.
"It's so exciting!" the dwarf shouted excitedly: "I can't wait to participate!"
"Mr. Alvin, you'd better suppress your curiosity. Before we start our adventure, I don't want to look for you everywhere." Tang Sen reminded.
"Of course, my benefactor." The dwarf said quickly: "Don't worry, I am more interested in the Moonstone Mask than these people."
Under the leadership of Maris, everyone successfully arrived under the Moonstone Mask.
"I have never been up there." Maris said nervously: "I heard that a long time ago, you could see the entire city of Neverwinter from the window of the Moonstone Mask, but later there were protests from the Mage Tower and the City Lord's Mansion. , so the height is now much lower.”
He looked around and soon found a carriage-sized floating boat parked at the street corner. In front of the boat, stood two well-dressed waiters.
He straightened his clothes, straightened his back and walked over.
"A few of my friends and I want to go to Moonstone Mask."
"Is he deliberately lowering his voice?" Barn whispered.
"Don't tell the truth." The monk reminded him considerately.
The two waiters looked at Maris and said in an arrogant but polite tone: "Welcome to the Moonstone Mask Hotel, wanderer. The cost of the floating boat is two dragon coins per person. Of course, if you are in the hotel If your purchase exceeds one hundred dragon coins, Moonlight Mask will provide pick-up and drop-off services.”
In front of the heavy amount of money, the wanderer's back bent down reflexively.
"There's no future!" Barn strode up and waved the hammer: "Start this thing of yours!"
The two waiters were startled and took a step back: "This is Neverwinter City!"
"These are dragon coins!" Barn took out a money bag: "Who do you think I am? A gray dwarf?"
The floating ship took off smoothly and stayed on the platform of the Moonlight Mask Floating Hotel. Obviously, when a group of people got off the ship, they instantly realized that they were out of tune with the other guests.
Tang Sen and Cui Xi were okay, at least they looked like spell casters in their clothing and appearance, and people tended to have natural respect for spell casters.
But Baan and the monk looked like they had just finished their adventure. Baan still had a hammer in his hand, and looked like he was exploring the hotel in front of him as a ruins.
As for Mr. Maris, maybe I don't respect him very much, but his eyes always stay on the waists of the big businessmen and nobles in brocade clothes, as if he is always ready to make a little fortune using the means that wanderers are best at.
Well, the dwarf would have seemed harmless, if he hadn't had the temerity to talk to a lady who obviously had a male companion.
In short, the atmosphere of the Moonlight Mask Hotel changed due to the arrival of these uninvited guests. Barn rushed to the front desk, put the hammer heavily on the wooden bar, then raised his head and shouted to the bartender behind : "Give me a glass of the strongest wine first!"
"This guest." The bartender couldn't help but look at the hammer: "The wood of the bar is the best wood transported from the Supreme Forest. It is very expensive to be made by the dwarf master!"
"I wonder if you could make some compensation before serving the wine?"
Barn threw two dragon coins casually and said, "Why are you so petty here? My hammer was made by myself!"
He raised his voice, stared at the other person with bell-like eyes, and uttered two words: "It's expensive!"
The side of the bartender's face twitched and said: "The refined dwarf hammer is worth dozens to a hundred dragon coins. If you plan to use this hammer as compensation, you may need to make up for it." Three hundred and ninety-eight dragon coins.”
He added: "Of course, I counted the two you gave me now."
Barn's movements were stunned, and he opened his mouth wide: "Are you blackmailing me?"
"Undistinguished guest, I have already told you that the wood for the bar is transported from the Supreme Forest——"
Barn jumped directly onto the bar and pointed at the bartender's head: "When I was adventuring in the Supreme Forest, your mother was still in the womb! A piece of rotten wood! You actually want me to pay five hundred dragon coins?"
This sudden accident caused the surrounding area to quickly quiet down. The guards guarding everywhere reached for the weapons on their waists and came closer with unkind expressions.
Seeing this, Cui Xi shouted in panic: "I'll give you the money!"
She took out her money bag and carefully placed it on the bar.
The guards stopped and waited for the development of the situation.
The bartender glanced at the dwarf who was still standing on the bar with an angry look. He picked up Cuixi's purse and dumped it on the bar. Gold coins and platinum coins fell out.
Cui Xi was right, she could indeed afford to spend money at Moonlight Mask, but she obviously did not expect the accidents caused by the dwarves' habitual behavior in other cheap taverns.
"Distinguished guest, you have a total of thirty sun coins here, which can be converted into three hundred dragon coins, seventy-two gold coins, and several silver coins." The bartender looked embarrassed: "Unfortunately, it seems that there are no not enough."
As if he felt that the mage in front of him had a lot of background, he explained with aggrieved tone: "The cost of this bar table cost thousands of dragon coins. In a place like Moonstone Mask, even if it is a small bump, we have to pay attention to it." Replace it. So, it's really not blackmail."
Trish suddenly became at a loss.
"I will build you a fine iron bar! Even if you fight on it, it will not leave any traces!" Barn shouted: "Is this enough?"
"No that's not the same thing at all," the bartender whispered.
"Otherwise." Cui Xi took out a magic scroll from her bag: "I don't know its value. It contains Mordenkainen's Mansion spell. I wonder if it can offset the compensation here?"
The bartender was stunned.
Also stunned were all the guests in Moonlight Mask who were paying attention.
"Mordenkainen's Mansion?" the bartender said uncertainly: "That famous seven-ring spell? Will anyone go to great lengths to record this spell into a spell scroll?"
"I don't know." Trish suddenly panicked:
"That's what my teacher said. She prepared a lot of these scrolls for me so that I could have a place to stay when I was in the wild."
