Chapter 1052: Happiness and Sorrow
In the gap between the water djinn running down, Lin An had already re-hid with the space ball and activated the concealment spell on the suit.
She had already gone deep into the trench at the bottom of the waterhole, and although the waterhole was the same as the ocean outside the island, it was not connected to the Demon Source Mountain, and the water djinn could not detect the changes in the waterhole through the current.
By the time the water djinn arrived, Lin An had already smuggled into the ocean outside through the guΓ² trench and came to the dragon's side.
The water giant spirit screamed at the waterhole, making the water splash, but Lin An could no longer be found.
Large droplets of water fell out of the water djinn's eye sockets and fell into the pool.
["Despicable, so despicable! βγ
The dragon shouted in Lin Anxin.
It is also the only dragon in this plane, and it empathizes with the current state of mind of the water djinn - the obsidian dragon is even more miserable, and the water djinn still has a chance to return to the elemental plane, but it is already homeless.
Thinking of this, the dragon also whimpered.
["You don't come out yet! βγ
["No! I quit! - It's so pathetic, I can't lie to it! βγ
Lord Nerac sobbed in protest:
["It doesn't understand anything, but you want to trick it into signing a deed of sale!" Thou hateful slave trader, I am the great Nirac, and I will never help the wicked to do evil! βγ
- This dragon that dropped its chain at a critical moment!
Lin An was speechless.
The script was even smoother than she had imagined, and she didn't even use a pre-plan.
From the endless ocean in the underground space that flowed somewhere, Lin An had already deduced that the elemental djinn sleeping in the demon source was a water djinn nine times out of ten.
And so it was.
This water giant spirit is as initially enlightened, and his IQ looks similar to that of a one- or two-year-old baby, extremely simple, and he has no doubt about the development of the whole thing, and he completely believes that the water element elder that Lin An has changed is his own kind.
Possession of great power, but no matching wisdom - such a goal is not very difficult for a mage.
The only thing to take into account is the possibility of the water djinn venting her anger directly as soon as she comes out.
Even if they left the Demon Source, in this underground space where the water source was almost endless, the Water Djinn was almost invincible.
Then, according to her own conditions, using Remus's constant [Water Elemental Elder Transfiguration] on her, a plan that specializes in the weaknesses of the water giant's IQ and prevents it from giving full play to its strengths came into being.
The process is smooth, the situation is very good, how can Lin An allow his pig teammates to drag his feet!
If it weren't for the [Water Elemental Elder Transfiguration Technique] that could only transform, but she couldn't let Lin An learn the language of water elemental life between spells, she wouldn't need the dragon to come forward at all-
["Delay for a second, confiscate a hundred magic crystals, your fortune has shrunk by two thousand six hundred so far, Nerak Pavilion-"]
Before the word "next" could be finished, a dark shadow had reappeared over the island.
In the past few days, His Excellency Nirac has already appreciated Lin An's ruthlessness - it is useless to protest, on the grounds that the dragon has disobeyed the master's orders, Lin An has taken the opportunity to confiscate a lot of the dragon's property in the past few days, which has shrunk the dragon's property by a quarter.
Only by obeying her will at once can the shrinking of property be stopped.
After that it's simple.
The sad water drench whimpered and wept at the waterhole, and didn't bother to pay attention to the culprit who woke it up at first.
Until the dragon whispers to it in the language of the water elemental plane, the angry water djinn is about to go to war with the dragon.
But the obsidian dragon "despicably" showed the "hostage" in his hand, and the honest and naΓ―ve, ignorant and sinister water giant spirit threw a mouse bogey, so he had to obediently sign the deed of sale.
After the contract was reached, the slumped water giant spirit reluctantly looked at Lin An in the dragon's hand, and grunted for a while, seeing that she did not respond, he returned to the demon source in disappointment.
"What did you say to it?"
Lin An stood in the dragon's claws as a "hostage".
Things were going well, but she always felt that something was not quite right with the tone and expression of the dragon and the water djinn when they were talking.
His Excellency Nirac is at odds:
γββ¦β¦ That, as you requested, if it is willing to help us dig into the magic crystals in the depths of the demon source, I will just let it see its 'kind' side. βγ
"Lie!"
Lin An said coldly, "It's a pity, Your Excellency Nirac, your property has shrunk by another thousand. β
"You're too much! This is a robber, you abominable woman! βγ
Lord Nirac cried out, even though there was already an endless source of magic crystals, the dragon's instinct to protect the treasure still made them feel like they had lost even a single gold coin.
"Who's the excess? We've said three or seven points beforehand, but you've almost ruined our plans!! β
Lin An finally had a chance to vent his anger, and the dragon's unsmiling expression made the dragon tremble - even when he was most annoyed before, Lin An had always seemed calm and flat, and he had never seen Lin An really angry.
The Great Obsidian Dragon. Treat money as life. Lord Nerac, suddenly there was a sense of foreboding that had never been seen before-
Its foreboding came true in the next second.
"In light of your imminent escape, I think you must be taught a profound lesson so that you will remember it and not repeat it."
Lin An smirked and said:
"It's a pity, Lord Nirac, in view of your previous behavior, regarding the division of the magic crystal, the original thirty-seven division can only be reduced to nineteen points."
- Sunny, sunny, thunderbolt, thunderbolt!
Lord Nerac was stunned.
"This can't be! βγ
Suddenly, it seemed to grasp at a life-saving straw, ["We have made a contract in advance, and you have no right to change the share at will. βγ
Speaking of the back, it triumphed at its wit.
It knew that this woman would find a way to snatch the treasure of Lord Nirak, which is why it asked to sign the contract beforehand!
"Too many mana crystals can easily overwhelm dragons, and if you can recall the details of the sharing contract we made when you sympathize with the water djinn, you won't be so impulsive."
Lin An smiled and said:
"I'm sorry to inform you, Sir Nirac, that what I'm talking about is the second of the third supplementary rule - we mages have always been very contractual."
["Ahhh!!h βγ
The obsidian dragon plunged headlong into the waterhole, like an iron stone, and it didn't even bubble for a moment, and fell heavily.
Can gem dragons swim?
Lin An glanced at the waterhole suspiciously, searching his mind all over the place, but there was no answer to this aspect.
No matter, anyway, the dragon won't die for a while without air, and I'll talk about it when it asks for help.
Lin An did not intend to condone His Excellency Nirac's behavior of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself.
β¦β¦
Compared with the magic crystals produced by the dragon's artificial geode, the magic crystals produced in the depths of the magic source are undoubtedly larger and purer.
But no creature can go deep into the depths of the Demon Source casually, not even Lord Nirak.
Otherwise, with the obsidian dragon's regard for fortune as his life, he would have secretly gone to the side to mine the magic crystal, and secretly dug a hole in the barn like a mouse, hiding the grain in it, and did not dare to dig a bigger hole in order to avoid being detected by the barn owner.
I didn't know what it meant to be a water giant spirit with a short catty or two pounds to dig out the magic crystals in the depths of the demon source and stack them in front of Lin An one by one.
Lin An had already restored his original appearance and no longer hid his breath, so in the eyes of the water giant spirit, it was impossible for this flesh-and-blood human race to have anything to do with his "kind".
It looked at the magic crystals on the ground reluctantly.
Djinn likes to live in places where the elements are abundant, and the Mana Crystal is both a house and food for them.
Lin An noticed that the magic crystals taken out by the water giant spirit were all of the earth, wind, and fire systems, and there was no water system.
She didn't mind.
After arriving at the archmage, the impact of talent on the mage is already very small, except for the mage of special professions, such as the necromantic system, most of the archmages can absorb all the elements, and then transform them into the corresponding magic power in the body.
What's more, she wants these magic crystals, mainly to supply the sky city and as strategic materials, it is good to be comprehensive, and it is harmless if there is no water system.
The mana crystals were piled up in front of him, but once he saw too much, he was numb.
Lin An was already able to calmly face this pile of giant magic crystals that were no less than the "Big Mac".
ββ¦β¦ Also, not enough. β
After signing the contract, Lin An has been able to communicate directly with the water giant spirit, but the water giant spirit has a very low IQ and insufficient expression and analysis ability, so Lin An can only express it as simply as possible.
As a result, the water djinn told her that it was all there was to it.
Lin An was surprised.
After some exchanges, Lin An finally figured out the reason.
It turned out that the depths of the demon source were not what Lin An and the giant dragon imagined, because no one collected them, and there were magic crystals full of pits and valleys.
Precisely, it was supposed to be like this.
However, after a certain number of years, new elemental life may be born from the giant mana crystal.
The water djinn was the first elemental life to be born from it.
However, this magic crystal, which can give birth to new life, has an instinctive attraction to the ignorant stage of the unenlightened mind, and can help the water djinn to open up wisdom.
As a result, the survival instinct causes the water djinn to wake up on time to eat the new mana crystals.
Otherwise, the water djinn would not have been able to grow to this point.
So it's easy to explain later:
After the city in the sky slumbered, water djinn was born from the crystals that no one collected;
The lifespan of elemental life is mostly calculated in 10,000 years, and in tens of thousands of years, it has eaten up the magic crystals that have reached the conditions, and finally grown to the stage of opening spiritual intelligence in the non-elemental plane.
However, the magic crystals that Lin An and His Excellency Nirac were looking forward to, full of pits and valleys, were only a few that had not yet grown.
Come to think of it, the obsidian dragon Nirac was born more than 2,000 years ago, and it took him more than 2,000 years to save a "Big Mac", and the water djinn slept for thousands of years, and after the last meal, there were only so many crystals saved.
