Chapter 44: The Secret of the Magic Stone and the Gambling Conclusion

"Is this guy dead or alive?"

[The heartbeat is normal and the breathing is steady.] 】

"And what about Lynn?"

[The source of evil has not been detected, so it can be judged that the legendary demon warlock is not nearby.] 】

Anduin breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled the diamond necklace out of Marin's hand, and suddenly found something strange, that is, the eight ring teeth that clasped the necklace suddenly disappeared, and among the originally brilliant and flawless diamonds, there was a faint purple light.

[Preliminary detection, the diamond necklace has changed, and the system cannot judge whether it tends to be benign for the time being, and in-depth testing is required to determine. 】

"So how much energy does depth detection need?"

[Four hundred energy crystals. 】

"What? Wasn't it only a hundred dollars before? ”

[The latent energy of the diamond necklace has been greatly increased, and more crystals must be consumed.] 】

Anduin nodded secretly, and took the necklace back in his hand, he felt that the Holy Light Origin in his body was more active, and the natural growth rate alone was several times that of the past, almost catching up with the speed of concentrating on the study of the Holy Light Notes, so that when the business of the Hearthstone Inn was on the road, he could rush to Port Royal, officially become a student of the Holy Light's right hand, and reach the level of a bishop.

Anduin was in a trance, and what others couldn't touch with all their strength was just around the corner for him.

"Maybe I'm really not qualified, let's say the four words "born equal......"

Inadvertently sighed, Anduin began to think about exchanging the gold coins in the badge into crystals, and he must find out the secret of the diamond necklace as soon as possible, four hundred crystals is not too big a number for him now, at least compared to the remains of the Titans that have long been put on the agenda, it is not a problem at all, but he still wants to ask: "Why can't the five hundred crystals advanced by the kobold be able to complete the turnaround?" If I could have produced Vitality Crystals earlier, I wouldn't have had to worry so much. ”

[Because the scope of the mission requirement is the hotel turnover, please keep up the host's efforts.] 】

"I'd better wake up Marlin first."

Cough......

When I don't know how many healing techniques fell on Marin's head, the old fox finally woke up with a cough, and even when he saw Anduin hiding far away, he realized the reason, and asked helplessly: "If I say that the old woman was destroyed by me, do you believe it or not?" ”

Anduin shook his head decisively, refusing to let his guard down despite the red glint in Marin's eyes: "I'd rather believe that Lynn was killed directly." ”

"Hey! You've guessed it! ”

Marin rubbed his groggy head, leaned against the wall and shook his feet: "Although I always find that the plan can't catch up with the changes, I have to say that this time Lady Luck is not on the side of evil, after you detonate the crack in hell, the space cube exploded, I originally thought that this would only make the old woman lose part of the source of energy, give me a chance to die together, but the reality is that I forgot that the magic stone is the most peculiar item in the world." ”

For some reason, Anduin remembered a secret that Benedictas had not revealed at the end, and he thought that it should have a great connection with the so-called "magic stone".

"You've probably seen the space cube release purple light when it is urged, that's because this cube is a replica of the old woman's amethyst in the nine magic stones as the core!"

Ma Lin finally came to his senses, and his speech became more fluent: "At the same time as the space cube exploded, even the amethyst was also hit hard, the old woman would not have been affected too much, but the bad thing is that she actually put the holy light diamond on top of the Rubik's cube, and as a result, the holy light diamond took advantage of the void and instantly devoured the amethyst, releasing a large amount of holy light, which not only dispersed the demonic seeds in my body, but also almost made the old woman die." ”

The old fox gave a general introduction to the whole process, and finally made Anduin sure that this guy would not suddenly demonize for a while, but he still asked to the bottom of the matter: "Lynn is not dead, so where will she flee to?" ”

"How do I know that?" Marin shrugged, "Don't look at the old woman crazy, in fact, she is more desperate than anyone else, no one knows where her real body is hidden, and what walks in the world is just a substitute, otherwise how dare I provoke such an existence?" ”

Anduin narrowed his eyes and said quietly, "Actually, you've already provoked a lot, haven't you?" ”

"Like...... That is true. Marin admits this fact with difficulty, "Fortunately, she has been hit hard and must be stopped for a while, and besides, not only did I get the amethyst I always wanted, but I also got an extra Holy Light Diamond!" ”

Marin paused suddenly, finally realizing that his hands were empty, and wondered, "Oh, where are my diamonds?" ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Marin, that's my diamond!"

Anduin emphasized this fact very solemnly, and began to be wary of the possibility of Marin robbing, the old fox really stared at the badge of the Earl of Anduin, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who can prove that it is yours?" ”

"My subjects." Anduin sensed that the other party had no intention of making a move for the time being, and said calmly, "Archbishop Benedictas, whose real identity is Father Twilight, personally gave me the diamond necklace in front of hundreds of townspeople, and now the amethyst is also in my collection." ”

"Could it be that the things I have worked so hard to track for more than half a year have been given to you so cheaply?"

"No, Mr. Marin, you should know that without me, you would not even be alive now, Lady Luck is by your side at a critical moment, and the God of Fortune happens to come to my head."

The old fox showed a cloudy look: "If you knew the true face of the magic stone, you wouldn't think it was wealth!" ”

Anduin remembered the tens of thousands of gold coins in the badge space, and said confidently: "It's not only gold coins and crystals that can be called wealth. ”

"Alright! You win! For Bowval's sake, let's make a deal! Marin was a little crazy, and then rushed to the treasure house in a rage, "As long as you give me the Holy Light Diamond, I can let you take no more than fifty percent of the gold coins, no, forty percent!" ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Marin, but the Treasury of Relics has disappeared along with the Hellcrack, so this deal can't be made."

"What?"

Marin cried out in frustration, and rushed to the treasury with Anduin in his hand, and finally on the edge of the ruins, unable to stand still, little White who had been waiting here stepped forward, with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Marin, it's good that you're okay! ”

However, Marin didn't pay attention to him, staring at the disappearing treasure trove of gold coins in a daze, and shouted in disbelief: "Where are my gold coins? What about my forty-three thousand seven hundred and eighty-two shining gold coins! ”

"How do you know so well?"

"After being locked up by the old woman for so long, and being bored and counting a few times, didn't you realize that the gold coin mountain should be on the other side of the hell crack?"

“……”

Anduin wanted to say that his spiritual world was very fulfilling, but when he saw Marin's crying expression, he turned to kindly consolation: "Mr. Marin, what you have lost is only something outside of your body, so you don't have to mind so much. ”

"Now only the Holy Light Diamond can soothe my soul......"

"Then you should continue to be sad!"

Marin glared at Anduin and shook his head repeatedly: "If Bervar was present, he would not be so cold-faced and ruthless, he was seriously injured at the time, and he was willing to lend me the elven sword, but you are good now, but you refuse to give me the slightest favor." ”

"Mr. Marin, please don't confuse the two, I don't think you have anything worth giving me a necklace."

"Who said that?" The old fox began to protest, "The demonic seed in my body has only been temporarily dispelled, and I need to touch the diamond brilliance more to completely cure it!" ”

Anduin smiled slightly in his heart, "In that case, Mr. Marin will go to my territory to stay for a while." ”

"Why don't you believe me?"

"I'm sorry, but your credibility in my heart is zero!"

The two were arguing, and White, who was standing on the side, suddenly asked, "That...... Can I interject? ”

"Say!"

"The lights are going out."

Anduin's eyes lit up, and suddenly found that there was only the last magic light left, he hurriedly took out the transparent candle, and the old fox immediately raised the torch, finally isolating the darkness to a few meters away, Marin breathed a sigh of relief: "Compared to the old woman, I am more afraid of being entangled by those strange things in the dark, little fox, let's go quickly, and when it is safe, I will negotiate a deal with you." ”

Anduin saw that this guy refused to give up, and he was helpless, but he immediately took the two to the entrance of the track leading to the kobold territory, and when the space was restored, the disappeared railway also reappeared, and the three of them got on the crystal minecart and quickly left this land of right and wrong.

"I didn't expect those kobolds who slammed the door to be so good to you!" Marin noticed the speed of the minecart and was very jealous, "I want one, but they won't give it to me!" ”

Anduin pouted: "If Mr. Marin had replaced 'want' with 'buy', maybe the result would have been different." ”

"No, no, no! How can buying reflect our deep friendship! To tell you the truth, I've known the kobold king for a long time, and although I occasionally get into a fight, that doesn't stop me from going in and out of his king's treasury from time to time. ”

Seeing that the old fox puffed out his chest with pride, Anduin quietly asked White, "This guy is always so unwanted...... Isn't it serious? ”

The little boy crouched in the minecart and glanced at Marin, who was riding forward like a knight, before responding, "Mr. Marin is just a little greedy for money...... He's actually a very nice guy! ”

Anduin automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, and when he saw the end of the track appear in the distance, he immediately slowed down the car, stopped beside the minecart administrator, and smiled slightly: "Return safely, and return to the original owner." ”

However, the minecart manager's expression was very strange: "Why is this old fox Marin with you, Lord Road Builder?" ”

Anduin was a little strange that he had never seen the kobold road builders from beginning to end, and the system had speculated at this time.

[Spatial restoration.] 】

“……”

Anduin coughed dryly, and then heard Marin speak: "Little fox, this minecart will be borrowed for me first, there is one thing, I want to talk to the kobold king, wait a few days, and go to your territory to go around!" ”

"You really won't give up?"

"Of course, the demonization seed in my body hasn't been completely eliminated yet!"

"Well, whether it's true or not, I welcome Mr. Marin and Little White to come, and I'm sure they will be completely attracted by the town's culinary specialties."

Marin pursed his lips and questioned: "Don't talk too much, I don't think a small town can have anything delicious!" ”

"Mr. Marin, do you want us to make a bet? If you lose, settle permanently in Stormwind. ”

"If I win, your diamond necklace is mine!" Marin immediately smiled triumphantly, "I'll bring in the most discerning gourmets in the Empire, you wait to be criticized and embarrassed!" ”

However, Anduin didn't care about this, and stood up confidently: "On behalf of Stormwind Town, I look forward to your presence, goodbye, Mr. Marin, goodbye, little White, remember to bring your bags, I believe you will stay in Stormwind Town for a long, long time......"
