Chapter 0159 Accidentally fell into the trap
Therefore, he did not intend to go to Harry to collect debts.
The person who received Count Dracula's letter was a magician who opened a shop that made magic wands, right next to the side entrance of Tao Magic Academy.
Shops are not allowed to open at the main entrance, and the big shots prefer the facade of the magic academy to be clean.
Next to the side door is the student dormitory of the Magic Academy. The huge flow of people makes this area very prosperous, with everything to eat, drink and have fun. Of course, there are also some essential spell-casting props for magicians.
Walking into the staff shop, Su Mo's hair almost stood up. He had an intuition that something was wrong here!
He suppressed the urge to turn around and leave, and glanced indifferently. Everything here seemed normal. A man in a magic robe was sitting on a recliner behind the counter, lying on his back with a magic book covering his face.
.
There are five customers in the store, three men and two women.
When Su Mo came in, they immediately locked their eyes on Su Mo, but soon they looked away and focused on the staff in their hands.
With so many customers there, the boss was lying there lazily, covering his face with a book even though he wasn't very glamorous.
Su Mo's steps were neither light nor heavy, but the other party didn't react at all.
Either he fell asleep or...
As for these customers, they were impeccable in both dress and demeanor, but their actions were too consistent.
Because of different personalities and living habits, different people react differently when faced with different situations. A reasonable reaction should be that some people will turn their heads and take a look when they hear footsteps, while some people will not.
There will be no reaction to this.
If the actions of five people are consistent, it means that they have a common purpose.
And this purpose has nothing to do with the staffs they hold in their hands.
They seemed to be waiting for Su Mo, the hunter, to reveal his purpose for entering the staff shop, and based on Su Mo's answer, they would take corresponding measures.
How could it be such a coincidence that it had been well hidden all this time, and yet something happened as soon as he showed up?
This kind of plot is really annoying. Su Mo complained in his mind and walked to the counter: "Boss, can I ask you something?"
He did not ask a few of his customers, even though he already knew in his heart that the store owner was probably in trouble. Because asking customers would be very unreasonable. If he could ask just anyone, why would he have to go into the store and ask.
"Shh, the boss is asleep. Are you here to see the boss?" one of the customers asked.
"Of course... no," Su Mo shook his head: "I asked someone if you have heard of a magic apprentice named Harry."
"Why are you a hunter looking for a magic apprentice?" The customer who spoke to him seemed very unwilling. He stubbornly believed that Su Mo was a big fish that took the bait. After all, he was a new face and he was also a hunter.
Why would a hunter enter a staff shop, unless he is mentally retarded?
Su Mo secretly tried the Return Stone and found that he was in a special situation and the Return Stone could no longer be used.
Once his true purpose is discovered, he faces at least three days in prison.
It's no joke about imprisonment. At certain times, the NPC has the power to arrest the player and throw him into prison. In the prison, there is no way to return to the city or teleport, and even if you die, you will be resurrected in place.
Imprisonment in the game is a punishment more terrible than death.
Common crimes include stealing and eating Overlord Meal. If you steal something from an NPC shop, you are lucky if you are not caught. If you are caught, you may be imprisoned for up to three days depending on the amount.
As for those who eat Bawang Meal, there are simply too many of them.
[New World] The current record of imprisonment time in the game is eight days, set by two players. One of these two players is a mage, and the other is a ranger.
Their crime was robbery.
It was really a blatant robbery. I originally wanted to rob a bank, but found that I couldn't do it, so I targeted the drug store with the best business.
The problem is that they actually succeeded in the robbery.
It is said that they robbed a total of more than 40 gold coins that time - at that time, this was already a huge sum of money. At that time, the price of gold was hundreds of dollars, and even those with money might not be able to buy gold coins.
After getting the gold coins, they fled and exchanged the gold coins for real money.
I'm not asking for money, but I'm just playing a game. I'm worried that you NPCs can't be killed, and you can't escape the game anyway.
After two and a half hours of escaping, they were captured by a group of mercenaries who received a mission in the mercenary hall, and were tried by the Holy See's Templar Law Enforcement Team. Because the stolen money was not recovered, they were sentenced to three months in prison.
If I really shut it down for a month and a half and then come out, there would be nothing left to play in this game.
They redeemed the stolen money and handed it over to the law enforcement team, so they received a lighter sentence, and the three-month prison sentence was reduced to eight days.
At that time, there was a discussion in the gaming circle about this. Why didn’t the official just nip things like robbery in the bud? Just stipulate that robbery is not allowed. If the pharmacist in the drugstore slaps the player to death, wouldn’t everything be ruined?
Gone.
The official response is that banks in reality can be robbed, why not drug stores in the game.
Of course, there are also many people who question the official restriction of players' personal freedom, but the official obviously doesn't buy it, and even makes a ridiculous argument like "If you like to play, don't play."
Since then, players have become much bolder in playing games, and it is common to do all kinds of outrageous things, such as waving and slapping NPCs while talking, or picking up a product and running away...
The NPC law enforcement team will not be dispatched easily, and those responsible for arresting criminals are mainly sent out by the mercenary hall.
Su Mo once did this kind of mission. He caught two girls who didn't pay for meals. He tied them up and threw them to the NPC master. It is said that the punishment for the two girls was to clean the dishes for an hour every day for a week and supervise them.
It was a punishment wristband that sent them to the kitchen regularly and quantitatively.
Now, Su Mo may face being thrown into prison in the name of colluding with vampires.
If he is imprisoned for ten days and a half, by the time he comes out, there may be hundreds of thousands of people who have successfully changed jobs.
"What's your name, where are you from, and why are you looking for Brad?" The customer had already taken out his staff without any disguise, and several other customers also took off their disguises.
The three countries have law enforcement groups, the federal law enforcement group, the parliamentary law enforcement group, and the temple law enforcement group. The most unreasonable among them is the temple law enforcement group. Although the magic kingdom's parliamentary law enforcement group is better, it is not a good thing.
It will definitely not end well if it falls into their hands.
"I told you, I just want to ask the boss if he knows Harry, a student in this school. He is a magic apprentice. He has been posting tasks about the heart of the orange tree in the commercial plaza of Los Angeles some time ago. His teacher...
He seems to be a great mage."
Archmage!
