Chapter 24: Distribution of Dragon Souls
Arthur, a greedy fellow, led the secret of the dragon soul to the distribution of benefits with a single word.
The Austin archmage almost couldn't resist giving Arthur another thunderbolt and directly hacking him to death.
Even if it is a dragon soul that is about to dissipate, once it appears at auction, it will definitely be a sky-high price. Not to mention that any mage who gets it will not sell it, it has great research value for the Mage's Guild, which will meet any request for providing a dragon soul mage.
Now Arthur is taking advantage of the loophole in the previous words of the Austin Grand Magician, and also wants to share the benefits of the dragon soul. Fighting with his own students, the Austin Grand Wizard really can't pull that face.
Austin thought for a moment and said, "This dragon soul is of no practical use to you, but it has great research value for the academy. In this case, I will reward you with 100,000 gold coins or two pieces of equipment of equal value for the Academy. ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was 100,000 gold coins, and the value of this dragon soul was so high that all the students smacked their tongues.
If anyone were to change it, I am afraid that they would not hesitate to agree to the conditions of the great magician, but Austin is facing two "wonderful kings" Arthur and Becky today.
Arthur and Becky shook their heads almost at the same time, and Becky was already holding the dragon cliff wood and not letting go, as if she was afraid that the Austin archmage would snatch it from her again.
Austin now regrets exposing his hole cards so early, so he has to continue to negotiate with his students, "Then what are your conditions, if it's not too much, I can fight for the academy and even the king for you?"
"A piece of legendary equipment. ”
"Four pieces of Excellence-level equipment. ”
Arthur and Becky spoke at the same time, but both lions opened their mouths.
Legendary-level equipment is also priceless, and you may be able to find one or two pieces by going through the entire Blood Yao Academy, but it is definitely not worth exchanging it for a dragon soul that is about to dissipate!
As for the four pieces of Excellence-level equipment, the Austin Grand Magician couldn't even make up four of them himself.
The Austin Grand Magician was so angry that he stomped his feet, turned around and walked away, "You guys can discuss how to divide it yourself!"
The Austin Archmage was, and the focus of interest immediately shifted to Arthur and Becky. The team, which was faintly formed through a life-and-death battle, is likely to split into two small groups again due to the uneven distribution of interests.
The mercenary didn't hurt his feelings when he talked about money, Arthur smiled and said to Becky: "Thank you for your help this time, except for that dragon soul, you can pick the harvest this time." ”
Becky blinked at Arthur, "What about the dragon soul?"
Of all the acquisitions this time, the dragon soul was the most valuable, and it was also the most likely thing for the two sides to have a dispute, Arthur wanted to deal with it last, while Becky wanted to solve it first.
"According to the four pieces of excellence-level equipment you just offered, if one party wants, compensate the other party with two pieces of excellence-level equipment or 100,000 gold coins. If you don't want it, you can sell it to Alantis, and the auction proceeds will be divided equally between the two parties. ”
Becky nodded, "Reasonable, I want that dragon soul." ”
Arthur glanced back at Golly and Nini, and found that neither of them was too interested in the dragon soul, and he himself didn't think about how to use this dragon soul, so he nodded in agreement, "Yes, just compensate us as agreed." ”
"I want another Thunder Python egg and the single horn of that ninth-level Thunder Python, and the rest of the things are yours and counted as compensation, okay?" Becky said with some embarrassment, and then added, "In addition, the captain will also give it to you." ”
"No, I can't. Before Arthur could speak, Golly preemptively refused, "Don't tie who is the captain with the distribution of benefits." Take half of the Thunder Python eggs and horns, and give you the ninth-level unicorn to take advantage of you. The remaining materials such as snake gall bladder, snake teeth, and scales are divided equally between the two sides, and your half is not worth two pieces of superior equipment. You'll have to pay us at least one piece of Excellence gear or the equivalent of gold. ”
Becky also knew in her heart that the remaining half of the materials were not worth half a dragon soul, but they stumped her by asking them to take out an excellent-level equipment or 50,000 gold coins.
Excellence-level equipment is not cabbage, and many warschool-level warriors and high-level magicians don't have it. Golly and Huey have it because they are from the prince's and duke's houses, and the ones on Arthur's body are the ones that have been fought hard under several adventures, and even Nini doesn't have the equipment of the best level. As for Becky and the others, unless there is a life-saving one that is not exposed, only Becky's moon ring and the meteorite black shield in Lu Gang's hand are really taken out to reach the excellence level.
As for the 50,000 gold coins, although Becky and the others are also from wealthy families, they are still ungraduated students after all, and they have no other income except for the pocket money of hundreds and thousands of gold coins given by the family. The entire academy, which is desperately trying to make extra money like Arthur, can't find a second one.
Seeing Becky's embarrassed look, Arthur was a little unbearable, "Forget the extra compensation, anyway, you helped us a lot just now, and we will suffer some losses this time." Hopefully we can finish this Elite Academy Tournament as a team. ”
Golly gave Arthur a hard look, but Arthur had already agreed, so she didn't say much.
Becky immediately smiled when she saw Arthur's promise, "Thank you, thank you Sister Goli, but that excellent equipment is what I owe you for the time being, and I will definitely pay you back in the future!"
Becky's personality is sometimes a little girl, with joys, sorrows, and sorrows all on her face, and sometimes she is so eccentric that people can't figure it out at all.
Arthur waved his hand and didn't take it seriously, only Arthur really didn't take a piece of Excellence-level equipment to heart. Arthur now has four Excellence-level or equivalent Excellence-level equipment on his body: the Space Bracelet, the Blue Water Ring, the Starfall Sword, and the Wolf's Kiss Blue Short Knife, and even a useless Orc Excellence-level chain mail lying in the bracelet. In terms of the degree of local tyrants, Austin's great magicians may not be as good as Arthur!
Several people packed up their trophies and walked out of the cave, and found that the Austin Archmage had left in advance, and it seemed that Arthur and Becky were really angry this time.
Fortunately, Arthur and the others both had a magic map of the forest in their hands, and they took turns carrying Huey on their backs to continue on the road. It wasn't until they met Professors Ogu and Elaine, who had been waiting at the agreed place outside the forest, that there were no more accidents along the way.
The news I got from Professor Ogu was that the Grand Magician of Austin left directly in a bad mood, and went to Arantis first to wait for them.
Next, Arthur and his party resumed their schedule of traveling during the day and training at night, but without the grumpy old man of the Great Wizard of Austin, everyone, including Professor Ogu, felt a lot more relaxed.
Because of the previous experience of fighting together and Arthur's concession in the distribution of interests, the invisible barrier between the two groups disappeared imperceptibly.
Along the way, the young people talked and laughed with each other, and they were able to enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers and customs of the Rock Kingdom and the Bright Empire, making this trip to the elite academy of Arantis a study tour full of joy.
Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and Arantis, the legendary city of Terran miracles, was already in sight......
