Chapter 174: What Do You Want?
"Where did you get it? Is it your family's treasure? Bogin-Bock looked amazed, and said to Tang Bai without raising his head. Bellatrix, who was leaning on Tang Bai's back in his chair, heard this, and also looked down at Tang Bai curiously.
"Does the provenance matter?" Tang Bai flicked his fingers and asked indifferently.
"Of course, you need to understand a bad alchemy old man, and if you want to understand such an incomparable alchemy work, every bit of information inside and out." Borgin-Bock replied very politely.
"Snatched from one of Hades." Tang Bai tilted his head.
"Hades? Are you kidding, Don? Bogin-Bock finally took his gaze off the Seagod's Trident in his hand for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Tang Bai, his eyes full of doubts.
Bellatrix behind him also had a strange expression, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of Tang Bai's words.
"I'm sorry, I'm not kidding." Tang Bai raised his finger, and the small dragon rushed out, biting the Trident of the Sea God in Bogin-Bock's hand, and then flashed back into Tang Bai's arms. As soon as the dragon's mouth was loosened, he threw the trident into Tang Bai's arms, and with the strength of his limbs, he chose a comfortable position on Tang Bai's body, shrunk his body and lay down.
"Wait a minute!" Bogin-Bock only felt that his hands were empty, and when he looked up again, the Trident of the Sea God in his hand had returned to Tang Bai's hands. All he could do was open his mouth and hold back. Looking at the Trident of the Sea God that Tang Bai held in the palm of his hand, Bogin-Bock's eyes were filled with an emotion called fanaticism.
"Mr. Borgin-Bock, maybe now, we can have a discussion?" Tang Bai emptied his hand, stuffed the Seagod's Trident back into the Mirror World, and smiled at Bogin Bock, who saw the Seagod's Trident disappear and looked dazed.
"Okay, okay! Don, I have to say that there are times when you're like a devil! You will always be able to get what others want, to tempt them, and to make them do things for you according to your will. This time you've won again! Tell me, what do you want me to do this time? ”
Bogin-Bock glanced at Tang Bai's empty hands regretfully, and then muttered, very unhappy and nagging Tang Bai with defeat.
"A lot." Tang Bai smiled with satisfaction.
"What's a lot?" Bogin-Bock looked at the smile that appeared on Tang Bai's face, and couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart.
"In short, there's a lot of work to do." Tang Bai answered Bogin-Bock's words seriously. The next thing he said was that he would be incredibly transparent with Bogin Bock. There is no ambiguity at all.
"Tell me?" Borgin-Bock asked tentatively.
"I hope you will be able to unlock the seal on the Poseidon's trident, if you can. In addition, I need you to work hard to deconstruct its structure, and tell me all the information that has been deconstructed without reservation. And without my permission, it is not allowed to be disclosed to anyone. ”
Tang Bai raised a finger.
"That's it? The last requirement, although a little harsh, is not impossible to meet if there is a pay. As for the first two requirements, even if you don't mention them, I will try to do them. When Bo Jin Bock heard Tang Bai's request, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with his head bowed.
"Don't worry, that's not all." Tang Bai shook his erected fingers, "I need your unreserved alchemy experience. Yes, you heard it right, I want all your understanding, cognition, knowledge and experience of alchemy! As long as you have alchemy in mind, I want it. ”
Tang Bai paused as he spoke, and added another sentence under Bogin-Bock's ugly face: "And there is no pay." ”
"It can't be!" Bogin-Bock angrily stood up from his chair, waved his arms vigorously, as if trying to strengthen his tone, and almost roared at Tang Bai.
Rise!
Bogin-Bock's sudden outburst startled the little dragon lying on Tang Bai's shoulder, stretched out his long dragon neck, and gave a dragon groan back to Bogin-Bock's tantrum.
"Nothing is impossible." Tang Bai hurriedly calmed the little dragon who was a little restless. The dragons seem to grow much faster than other dragons, and now they have a bit of the restlessness and mischievous nature of their childhood.
"Don, this is not in line with our previous agreement! You pay, I have the choice to work for you. Borgin-Bock slumped back into his chair and replied with a bit of a sullen voice.
"Even some contracts can be changed. Not to mention the so-called conventions? Tang Bai said lightly.
"What would you do if I didn't say yes?" Bogin-Bock had a cold face, and looked at Tang Bai with a little hesitation.
"I won't do it. You don't need to be nervous, Mr. Borgin, I don't plan to do anything to you, as long as you keep this secret. Tang Bai looked at Bo Jin-Boke, who breathed a sigh of relief, and said slightly: "You must know that you may be an accomplished alchemy master, but you are definitely not the only alchemy master in this world. ”
"I have a lot of people to choose from, besides you. Although I don't have any friendship with them, most of the friendships will be established. I don't think there will be any alchemist who can resist the temptation of an artifact, right? Perhaps I should go to Albus Dumbledore and ask him for help, or ask him about the current address of Nicol Lemay, who created the Philosopher's Stone? ”
Looking at Bo Jin-Bock, whose face turned pale, Tang Bai continued without pause: "This is a very good choice. Nicol Lemay has lived for hundreds of years, hundreds of years, and his knowledge and understanding of alchemy, I don't think anyone else in this world can compare to it. Give him the Poseidon's Trident, and I may be able to reap more. ”
"No, no, no! Don, you can't do that! We're friends, aren't we? Listening to Tang Bai's words, Bogin-Bock's face could no longer be described as ugly, but became nervous and panicked! As Tang Bai said, no one in this world can compare to Nicol Lemay's understanding of alchemy. And even more so in the knowledge and achievements of alchemy!
He is indeed not the only option.
Not even the best one.
No matter how proud he was in alchemy, he didn't think he could compare himself to Nicol Lemay.
But Bogin Bock knew very well that this did not mean that he would never be able to bridge the gap between the two, or even surpass Nicol Lemay in alchemical achievements, it just needed an opportunity. And now, this opportunity is in front of him.;
