Chapter 173: Sell Your Life, Boginbock! [Below]
Boginbock's outfit was as sloppy as ever, although from the outside, he had taken care of himself very seriously. But that kind of care, in Tang Bai's eyes, is not even as pleasing to the eye as he was before he didn't take care of it seriously.
"Don, if there's something urgent, I have to come here to see you in person."
Bogin Bock, who was wearing a black suit, but didn't match his temperament in any way, saw Tang Bai sitting on a chair in the study, and complained slightly as he walked up.
"You'll understand soon."
Tang Bai stood up and shook hands with Bogin Bock, who walked to his side and reached out. Ignoring the hint of grumbling in his tone, he smiled.
"Hopefully. Oh, Ms. Bellatrix, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Borgin-Bock blinked, his gaze swept to Bellatrix on the side, a smile on his face, and greeted her. Originally, Bellatrix should have been called Mrs. Lestrange on this occasion, but anyone who knew or met Bellatrix knew very well that she was now resistant to this title.
Bellatrix raised her rounded chin a little arrogantly, and nodded to Bogin Bock with a smile on her face, which was considered to be a reply to his greeting. Bogin Burke didn't show any dissatisfaction with Bellatrix's attitude.
For Bogin Bock, all he values is his alchemy. As for his greed for the Golden Gallons, it is only because alchemy, like potions, requires a lot of money and resources. If it was just for money, with the gold gallons that Tang Bai bought from his shop, he could completely let go and live for a long time.
"You won't be disappointed. The reason why the meeting place is placed here with me and not with you is because there are too many unrelated people there and the secret surname is too poor. Tang Bai picked up the tea on the table and sipped it lightly, then held the warm teacup in both hands, and said lightly to Bo Jinbock, who was sitting down next to him.
After twisting twice in the fluffy chair and adjusting to a comfortable position, Bogin Bock didn't answer, just shrugged his shoulders and looked at Tang Bai, obviously waiting for him to tell him what he wanted to do this time.
"How's the Soul Gathering Coffin? Do you have any new developments? Tang Bai did not directly state his purpose, but asked Bogin Bock about a seemingly unrelated topic.
"It was indeed an outstanding alchemical item, without a doubt! With a clue, it's only a matter of time before you figure out all its composition and uses. Bogin-Bock was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Tang Bai to ask this question, but he quickly came back to his senses and replied seriously.
Perhaps he was cynical in other matters, or rather lacked credibility and frugality, but in matters related to alchemy, his seriousness and solemnity would never lose to anyone else. This is also one of the main factors for Tang Bai to find him this time.
"Really?" Tang Bai raised his eyebrows with a smile while feeling the temperature of the teacup in his palm, but he didn't speak again.
Seeing Tang Bai's appearance, Bogin-Bock's brows subconsciously wrinkled slightly. The people who were able to open a shop and gain a foothold in the environment of Tumbledown Alley have seen too many people for decades, and they have also cultivated Borgin Burke's eyesight.
How could he not see that Tang Bai was acting coyly, and there were still important words hidden in his heart that were not said. I'm afraid that is the real purpose of Tang Bai coming to him this time.
"Tang, could it be that there is something wrong with the Soul Gathering Coffin?" Bogin-Bock hesitated, glanced at Tang Bai, and asked guessingly.
"No, there's nothing wrong with the Soul Gathering Coffin. It's good. I'm not looking for you this time because of the Soul Gathering Coffin. Tang Bai shook his head and denied Bogin-Bock's speculation.
"You can be straight, you don't have to play dumb riddles with a bad old man like me. What do you need me to do, with your relationship with me, as long as the remuneration is sufficient, then there is no problem. Borgin Bock was not interested in guessing any further, spread his hands, and muttered very bluntly.
"There's nothing to pay, and you have to pay a lot." Tang Bai raised an index finger and shook it in front of Bogin-Bock's eyes.
"No pay? And to pay a lot? No, no, no, that can't happen. Look at my old face, it's a little old, but it's not stupid! Borgin-Bock immediately shook his head, a little upset.
"You haven't heard my purpose yet, can you be so sure?" Tang Bai glanced at Bogin-Bock.
"I won't do anything that doesn't get paid." Bogin-Bock glanced at Tang Bai, "The two of us are just collaborators, not that I am a subordinate, Don, you should understand this." ”
"An alchemical item that far surpasses the Soul Gathering Coffin, and can even be called an artifact." Tang Bai spoke again before the end of Bogin-Bock's words had dissipated.
"What?" Bogin-Bock waved his hand impatiently at first, but was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he looked at Tang Bai.
"An alchemy product that far surpasses the Soul Gathering Coffin and reaches the artifact level." Tang Bai solemnly repeated what he had just said.
"Where? What kind of alchemy is it? "Borgin Bock's eyes were like candles lit in the night, burning brightly.
"Poseidon's Trident." Tang Bai said, took out the sealed Seagod's trident in the mirror world, and handed it to Bogin-Bock.
Bogin-Bock's hands trembled a little and took the Trident of the Sea God handed over by Tang Bai, as if caressing his lover, gently and delicately caressing it. The two eyes, which usually look very cloudy, are now revealing a surprising light.
"That's right! The perfect masterpiece! It's almost a god-perfect masterpiece! Borgin-Bock muttered as he probed the trident in his hand, in a pilgrimage of emphasis.
This sealed artifact, in the eyes of ordinary people, may not be much different from an ordinary iron artifact, at best it is just an inconspicuous iron artifact that has gone through some years and still has a little rust left on its body.
But in the eyes of alchemists like Bogin-Bock, they can see that it is extraordinary.
This is the same as an airplane, whether it is invisible or ordinary, it is nothing special in the eyes of ordinary people. But in the eyes of the master of aircraft manufacturing, just by the appearance of the aircraft, they can roughly see the advantages and disadvantages of the aircraft, and in their hearts can make a certain judgment on the surname of the aircraft.
