Chapter 53: The Gilded Fire Dance
Charlie has been listening to Mentor Erreth's conversation with Edward.
She was already quick in her mind, and now when she heard Edward say it, she wanted the technology of the Floating City now.
I agreed to it.
"No problem!"
Charlie promised too much.
So much so that Edward, who had prepared a lot of negotiation conditions, was a little stunned.
"Are you sure you hear my request, beautiful young lady?" Edward asked, tilting his head slightly.
Charlie also said with a straight face: "Yes, I answer you as the lord of the ideal township." Anything you need to know about the next generation of Floating City, we'll pass it on to you unconditionally. ”
"But please don't spread the technology.
After all, no one else has let Mentor Eris owe a great favor~
So, if it's convenient, I'll ask you to write a fair contract of pre-divine judgment later, following the Arcanist's rules. ”
Charlie talked and laughed, and also made his meaning clear.
She had heard what Edward had meant when he said, 'Spare Eris'.
This gave Edward the green light unconditionally.
Edward was slightly stunned, and then looked at Eris again.
The head that had turned into white bones naturally had no expression.
But that didn't stop Edward from expressing his jealousy.
"I accepted a good apprentice, hey, I miscalculated, I let you fool you in the first place.
At the beginning, when you asked me to create your ideal hometown,
When I saw you mingling with two other factions of Arcanists,
You should be suspicious......
Otherwise, at that time, ......"
As a neutral evil camp, Edward defeated Erres, who was far inferior to him at that time, and grabbed an apprentice to have fun, he could definitely do this kind of thing.
"Hmph......" Eris snorted indifferently, also understanding what Edward meant.
'Rata Rata Rat', after thumping his chest and expressing his regret, Edward raised a hand and twisted his skull.
That wasn't enough, and he reached inside his skull with his other hand and rummaged through it.
Charlie, whose eyelids jumped: "......"
Probably because she also has a necromantic system, her perspective on undead creatures is now very different from what she used to be.
I used to see skeletons moving in the shadows, and I guess I could scream like riding a roller coaster.
Now......
Well, it's been a long time, but Mr. Super Lich is still so funny.
Charlie's distraction subconsciously looked at his mentor's head.
Is it the Lich who will use his skull as a portable 'suitcase'?
Eris sensed Charlie's gaze.
Looking back, I just saw my apprentice, staring at my skull in contemplation......
Charlie sensed something press on top of his head, and then came back to his senses, only to find that it was Eris.
Eris's phalanges squeezed slightly, and Charlie's head twisted away.
With his other hand, he pointed to Edward Road, who had already found a small hill of 'debris':
"There is only one such strange lich in the world."
Charlie smiled awkwardly.
Edward on the other side was rummaging through things, but he wasn't unaware of the situation.
He replied indignantly:
"When you become an old bone and live for a thousand years, you should know how important humor is to a lich whose life is close to endless!"
Eventually, Edward stopped rummaging.
It's not that I've found the right thing.
Instead, he felt that his collection, any of which he took out, was not enough to thank the ideal township for his 'kindness' this time.
He thinks so.
But in reality, it is an object that can make a super lich who has been through a long period of time look at it and carry it with him.
Anyone who throws one piece is enough for the adventurers on the continent to fight for it frantically.
Charlie's words, because of Erres, unconditionally helped [City of the Dead], which had been directly ignored by Edward.
Seeing Edward's embarrassment, Charlie didn't want the other party to be entangled all the time, so he simply said directly:
"Speaking of which, there is one thing here that makes it very difficult for me.
Mr. Edward, it would be great if you could help! ”
Hearing this, Edward immediately sat up straight and said with a straight face: "Please speak." ”
"That's right, do you know about the League of Legends?"
As a super lich who has been walking on the continent for nearly a thousand years, Edward naturally knows about the League of Legends.
Even, he is one of them.
"Of course, I know that the last time I read the newspaper, I was still wondering if Eris and White Rose had received an 'invitation'?"
"Exactly, but we didn't know how to get there."
Charlie only said that he was going to join the League of Legends, but did not disclose about the Raven Society.
"Well, can you let me see the invitation?"
Charlie thought about Eris.
Eris retrieved an invitation from the storage ring of his finger bone and handed it to Edward.
The invitation was blank.
Edward also fell into a brief period of contemplation.
It seems that in my head, I have passed through the guys who can be connected with this invitation.
Finally, he sighed helplessly, "Ah, it's that guy......"
Charlie was a little curious.
Edward didn't sell it either.
"This year, the person who is responsible for writing the invitation letter and is in charge of the 'orientation' is a legendary red bronze dragon."
Charlie: "? ”
Eris understood what Edward meant, and the dark blue soul flame in his eyes trembled.
The little black dragon on Charlie's shoulder raised his head and glanced at Charlie with sympathy.
Oh, the Bronze Dragon, or the legendary ......
How much does this fit people?
"So, this invitation is a riddle?"
"Yes."
Charlie looked confused.
Invitations they are no less time-consuming and laborious research.
Coupled with the fact that Charlie's brain hole is so big, the possibility of invisible ink makes her think of it.
But as it turned out, these were two blank invitations with nothing!
Edward glanced at Charlie sympathetically and said:
"Come, let me introduce you.
The guy who gave Eris the same prank-like invitation was a legendary bronze dragon nine times out of ten.
His name is Aradas, and his title is [Gilded Fire Dance].
With my knowledge of [Gilded Fire Dance] Aradas,
He combined his mischievous nature with his 'talent for mystery'......
I'm glad you asked me, otherwise you wouldn't have figured out what this invitation was all about within the specified deadline.
When the time comes, it will be judged that he has 'given up' to join the association, and he will be unjustly killed.
So, that guy did send you a 'blank invitation' that didn't contain anything. ”
Charlie: "......"
Wait, did I understand something wrong?
"What the hell is the blank invitation? Nothing, what do we guess? ”
Reason can't resist the urge to complain, God knows how much hair the high-level people in Ideal Township have lost their hair in order to study these two invitations.
Edward tried to think about the problem in the way of [Gilded Fire Dance], and analyzed it for Charlie.
"Because Aradas is the most famous of all the bronze dragons.
And, when you see an invitation without any traces.
The first thing to think about is whether this is a prank or a riddle.
Of course, it is also possible that the two are combined.
So, at this point, you can deduce that most of the people who asked the question are a red bronze dragon, a legendary red bronze dragon. ”
Charlie: "......"
"I just want to ask, ...... such 'goods'" Charlie pointed to the blank invitation, "in the League of Legends...... Are there a lot of them? ”
Edward replied righteously: "No, the red bronze dragon is just such a one, after all, there are too many, and I can't stand it when the association holds a meeting." ”
Charlie was temporarily shut up by this powerful logical chain.
Eris turned out to talk about the work, and asked lightly, "What does the blank invitation mean?" ”
"If you want to join the League of Legends, you also need to find the [Gilded Fire Dance], and then ask him what task he gave you."
"Hey, it's also your bad luck to catch up with Aradas ......"
"You know, the introductory test of other members is basically the same difficulty as sitting with old members and drinking tea."
"As for Aradas...... I can only wish you the best of luck here. Edward gloated.
"Well, Mr. Edward, where are we going to find this 'riddle' bronze dragon?" Charlie's 'puzzle' is a particularly strong bite.
"Eh, are you going, dear?" Edward stood up and dusted off his robe.
"Yes."
"Oh! In that case, I'll take you there!
I also have some friendship with Aradas.
I hope he can see it for my sake, and it won't be too difficult for you! ”
This is a 180-degree reversal from the attitude of 'you resign yourself to fate' when I talked to Eris before.
Charlie's eyes sparkled.
"Really? Isn't it troublesome? Mr. Edward? ”
"Oh ha, you've been so generous in giving the City of the Dead a great gift.
I'm not going to shirk this little thing.
The big deal is to go back a few days late, and it won't get in the way. ”
So, the matter was quickly finalized.
Because the ideal town has just returned to Beira, everything in the city hall is to be determined.
Especially on the way back, Charlie has come up with a lot of 'new policies'.
Officials at the city hall have already begun to lay floors in the office.
Charlie suggested to the officials of the city hall at this time that she was going to go away again.
It is estimated that everyone has a hemp rope and can collectively run to the gate of the White Castle to hang themselves.
Also, Edward will have to take the time to take over the 'Next Generation Floating City Technology'.
So, for the time being, everyone rested in the ideal township for a few days, and then set off together.
The black dragon lying on Charlie's shoulder was still a little surprised.
It's rare that this woman who only recognizes gold coins and doesn't recognize people is so humane this time.
And the fact is that the slap in the face is also extraordinarily fast.
After settling in Edward, the super-lich, Charlie returns to his office in the White Castle and rings the summoning magic bell.
Summoned the first dogleg in the seat, Harpy.
Seeing the green-skinned goblin, six points slowly rose above the black dragon's head.
He knew that his judgment was still too early.
"I have a big client on my side, and his floating city was saved in the last cataclysm.
But it seems that now it can only float in the shadow half-plane, and it can't get out.
I guess he purchased the 'floating technology' of the ideal township.
It is to let his floating city float in the blue sky of our world again.
I gave him the technology, but to purchase all kinds of raw materials, I guess he will definitely find you goblins.
For this business, I'll mention 30% of the 'referral fee' to you, isn't it too much? ”
The green-skinned Harpy's big eyes rolled, "30% is too much, do you want your loyal Harpy to go to the street to ask for food?" ”
Then there is a large series of inertia to 'sell miserably' and unmoved bargaining......
"15%, no more!" Harpy cried out of breath.
"Deal." Charlie said with a smile.
Black Dragon: "......"
From a certain point of view, in the future, his Dragon Hall will become richer and richer, which is a good thing...... Right?
Well...... That is, the kind of treasure that has to worry about expanding the treasure house every day......
……
Edward entered the rumored Ideal Village.
As a super hilarious ultra-lich, he certainly doesn't waste his time in a luxurious hotel.
That's right.
The White Fort has been built a hotel dedicated to entertaining VIPs.
The idea, as always, came from Charlie Violet, the great ruler of the Ideal Country.
The hotel's shares are split between the White Castle and the Town Hall.
Of course, the White Castle occupies about 51%, while the Town Hall occupies the rest.
Walking out of the hotel also made him feel fresh.
Considering the mental health of the people of Ideal Township, the empathetic ultra-lich Edward still put on his shadow cloak.
And covered the skull's face with a mask that obscured its face.
He didn't want to walk on the streets in broad daylight and scare the ordinary people into fainting.
It's just that when he walked out of the hotel, he realized how stupid his 'empathy' was.
Floating City has recently been promoting the labor leasing business.
As a city lord with a unique vision and a business (death) karma (earning) head (money) brain, how could Charlie let go of the necromantic creature?
Don't underestimate these skeleton soldiers who can scare ordinary people into peeing their pants in the middle of the night.
How much does it cost you to hire a clerk for a small business?
This is especially true at a time when the Judicial Department of the City Hall is beginning to implement the Labor Code.
When you hire an individual, you also need to consider the issue of vacation, insurance, and whether the daily salary is above the minimum income guarantee in the ideal township......
Those who do small business are already desperate.
Just when everyone is poor and can't afford to hire people, they are ready to close their doors and go out to work.
Ideal Township has launched a business of leasing labor.
Still having a headache about not having the money to hire someone?
Still suffering from hair loss because your employees can't afford insurance?
Are you still depressed because your employees are forced to suspend business because of holidays?
Come on, come on, find out!
Rent undead creatures, 24 hours × 7 days super long standby, you deserve it!
Note: Undead creatures do not enjoy the protection of the "Labor Law" of the ideal township!
What are you waiting for?!
This is the gospel of small business operators!
So, this created the grand scene that Edward saw at this moment.
Skeleton Farm, Lich Shop Guy, Death Knight Porter......
After visiting one-fifth of the ideal township, Edward finally silently took off the shadow hood.
He felt that in addition to the bright light and the buildings that were not so lifeless, it was about to become a second 'city of the dead'!
Charlie Violet......
Goblin Three Magazines still underestimate this woman after all!
With this in mind, Edward walked around the outer half of the city.
It's just that he didn't take off his shadow hood for ten minutes, and then brought it back on.
Why?
Of course, it's not that Mr. Super Lich is discriminated against.
Instead, after he took off his hood, he was pulled five times on the street in less than ten minutes.
It was the labor agency that pulled him and wanted to give him 'work'.
Seriously, after being a legend for so long, Edward had such a fresh experience for the first time.
Especially one of them.
Edward, who was a little curious, had no experience in preventing fooling.
I was almost pulled onto a fishing boat and went out to sea to catch sharks......
Nowadays, the shipbuilding industry in Ideal Township is still immature, and 10 boats go to sea to catch sharks, and nine and a half have to be overturned.
Between this ratio......
Looking at the fishing boat, from the captain to the sailor, it was all undead......
Edward dared to pack a ticket, such a shipload of 'unclean' going to sea, even if he encountered pirates, he could scare the other party alive.
It's too big to use to catch sharks......
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.
Charlie, who has finally taken care of many things, sends Nao to find Edward.
Of course, she knew what the other party was doing when she came to the ideal township.
After all, after separating from Edward, her own mentor also warned her to be careful of Edward.
The undead are absolutely not so complex with 'human emotions'.
There is no doubt about that.
Then, Edward, who behaves so 'human', will be a little wary.
Edward spent five days in Ideal Township, and he was a little bit happy.
Of course, he didn't delay in getting down to business.
As for how he can do business and have fun at the same time......
Speaking of which, it was the first to enslave the low-rank undead, but what about the lichs~
He summoned a few younger brothers out at random, and he could go to the dwarves to get his business done.
At Charlie's invitation, Edward traveled to the White Castle.
In the living room, he saw a beautiful lady in a long white dress.
As expected~
That axe is definitely the masterpiece of the White Rose!
If not, he'll cut off his own head with an axe!
