Chapter 341: Special Situation

Life in Stormwind City was completely different from the Wizard World. The human kingdom in the world of Azeroth lived quite comfortably, with various material resources being very rich. Not only were there many rare meats and wines, but various life professions also had their own corresponding characteristics.

Wayne bought and bought, ate and ate here, living quite happily, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

In these three days, he successfully reached a transaction with Old Mori of Klein Bookstore, purchasing nearly five thousand books in stock from him and a follow-up order of nearly ten thousand books, covering knowledge that almost included all aspects of Azeroth.

Although so many books were not necessarily all useful, even as a collection, it was a good choice.

At the very least, the witch Ranni was quite happy. This silent Moon Princess liked reading books most in her long life. Even books unrelated to magic, she could read with relish.

And besides these books, Wayne's biggest gain in these few days was obtaining an opportunity, an opportunity to buy a high-level Pet Badge.

Since hearing about this thing a few days ago, he had been thinking about this magical item. You know, in terms of combat power alone, Wayne's destructive power might not be as good as his pet Deathclaw, and Robin's defense was amazing. Whether used as a mount or a meat shield, it could play a very good role in battle.

The only thing that made people feel troubled was that its volume was too large. A ten-meter-tall figure would be subject to quite a lot of restrictions in various terrain battles, and in human cities, it was not allowed to be brought in, which was undoubtedly a serious reduction in his strength.

But it would be different with a Pet Badge. According to the information Wayne learned from books in these few days.

A Pet Badge was a special magical equipment. It was not a mass-produced standard equipment like a space backpack, nor was it used to store items, but a special equipment customized according to the characteristics of the user's combat partner. Each person could only equip one Pet Badge.

Not only was the cost high, requiring special materials, but it also had to be bound to the user and could not be traded to others for use.

According to records in books, this technology originated from elf druids, seemingly borrowing the ability of the Emerald Dream to achieve the effect of briefly storing animal partners.

This storage effect was less like putting animal partners into the badge, but rather connecting to a certain different plane of Azeroth, briefly teleporting the pet to that space, and then summoning it back when needed.

And this equipment was not as convenient as imagined. According to the information recorded in the book, the animal partner stored by this badge could only stay for at most three days. Beyond this time, the animal partner might stay in the space connected by the badge forever and could not be recalled.

In other words, this equipment was likely only usable in Azeroth. If taken back to the Wizard World, it would likely be a waste.

But even so, Wayne still decided to customize one for himself, to facilitate him to use the Deathclaw as a base in critical moments to deal with various emergencies.

After all, according to the information he learned, there were very few masters who could make this kind of badge. If it weren't for him borrowing Paletress's relationship, with the help of this priestess, finding an old court mage of Stormwind City who was said to be an old friend of Archbishop Faol, with his situation of being unfamiliar with the place, it would be basically very difficult to find someone to help him make this kind of equipment.

So, spending ten thousand gold coins was still quite worth it. Not only did he get a promising High Priestess as a friend, but he could also use the other party's relationship to enjoy various conveniences in Stormwind City, which could be said to be killing many birds with one stone.

And just when Wayne was buying various materials in the city and discussing with Paletress how to plan the use of that large sum of gold coins, Major Genset, whom he had met once, actually found him again and brought him a quite unexpected piece of news.

"What? VanCleef escaped?"

After hearing Genset's news, Wayne's face was a bit gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice: "When did this happen?"

He was not afraid of this big bandit of the Defias Brotherhood taking revenge on him, but this was the first thing he did when he came to Azeroth this time, and as a result, something went wrong after only a few days, which made him feel a bit unhappy.

Major Genset probably also felt a bit embarrassed. A bitter smile appeared on his face, and then he said with some apology: "It disappeared this morning, about five hours ago."

"I only learned this news after being notified by the military. Now the city gate has been under martial law. I don't know if VanCleef has escaped the city in these few hours, and I don't know if there are any inside agents of the Defias Brotherhood in the city."

"So Mr. Wayne, you must be careful for a while. VanCleef is a famous assassin in Westfall, and many people who were once hostile to him have died under his assassination."

"This time it was you who caught him and sent him to the military. No one knows whether this guy will retaliate against you after he escapes."

Wayne's face quickly returned to calm upon hearing this. He did not vent his anger on Major Genset opposite. The other party was also worried about his safety, so he came to inform him of this news. If he met some people without conscience, perhaps they wouldn't even take the initiative to inform him of the news of VanCleef's escape.

Such a person was undoubtedly a target to be won over. Wayne quickly adjusted his mood.

"Okay, thank you for your warning, Major Genset."

"When you are free, let's have a drink together."

After the major left, Wayne looked thoughtfully at a certain position at the street corner, and a figure he had met once flashed by.

After considering for a few seconds, he followed, and after the figure consciously revealed his tracks, Wayne followed him for more than ten minutes and finally arrived at a small alley in the Old Town.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man was standing quietly at the corner, seemingly waiting for him.

This person was the so-called officer of SI: 7 whom he and Lieutenant Weber had seen three days ago.

"Officer Shaw, do you want to chat with me?"

Although Wayne knew his identity in his heart, he still pretended not to know on the surface, his expression a bit annoyed, and said: "I actually don't like dealing with intelligence personnel. They are always beating around the bush, making people feel irritable."

Seemingly not expecting Wayne to say this, the leader of SI: 7, the assassin master Shaw who managed the intelligence organization of Stormwind City, twitched the corner of his mouth, then returned to his expressionless face, and said: "Mr. Wayne, you are a quite powerful adventurer. I have a mission commission here. I wonder if you are willing to accept it."
