Chapter 54: Negotiations begin
She's sixty years old this year?
Kayilu and Erin were completely stunned, and only Xia Di suddenly realized. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn "The Legend of Minion", all legendary characters, even old men over 70 years old, can maintain the appearance of their prime, and the reason seems to be that they use magic to forge their bodies, and this world may have a similar method.
"Please tell me how to take care of it." Erin asked, raising her hand.
"There's no way to maintain it." The woman smiled, "Thirty-five years ago, I broke through the Fourth Order as a magician and comprehended the original magic, and my body has never changed since. But that's just the appearance. As you can see, I now have trouble walking with my legs and feet. The internal organs of the body are perfectly in line with my age. ”
After the woman finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed the magic wand the size of a cane beside her and stood up.
She's moving slowly, really like someone her age.
It's a little different from the legendary characters Xia Di has seen before.
I see, that is, the forging hammer is not thorough enough......
Xia Di commented silently.
Sariya helped her mentor and walked to Xia Di's party.
"Little sister, do you want to learn magic?" The mentor looked at Erin.
"Huh?"
"Mentor, get down to business." Saliya reminded.
"Hehe, I accidentally forgot. When I saw the child, I couldn't help but think that I had just taught you magic in the first place. The mentor chuckled, "By the way, what are you looking for me?" ”
"That...... You said you were a fourth-order powerhouse, right? In other words, you are a mentor. Kayilu suddenly asked solemnly, "I have something important and I want you to help me." Please read the letter. ”
Probably knowing that the other party was an elder, and that the person seeking help felt that he had to maintain etiquette, Kayilu took out the letter Aditya had given her from his arms and handed it to his mentor with both hands.
The tutor reached out and took the envelope, but she didn't even open it, she directly said the sender's name, "Oh, is it Adiana's letter, the prop seal...... Something ...... interesting."
As if noticing the curious gaze of the crowd, she smiled softly.
"Do you suspect that I didn't read the letter carefully?" The mentor stretched out his index finger and swiped in midair, and the fluctuation of magic power passed through the envelope, and the letter paper ran out of the envelope and unfolded in front of everyone, "This is a letter for our magicians." It is written in symbolic text and can be read by the recipient without opening the envelope. ”
Is there still such magic in this world?
Xia Di looked at the words that emitted a faint blue light on it, and thought with some surprise.
"So, can you help me look at the weapon?" Kayilu didn't seem to dwell on the subject, and she quickly pulled Karnvenam's dagger from her package and handed it to her mentor. "I'll tell you the truth, I need to use this weapon urgently, if you can, please help me break the seal inside before next week."
"...... next week?" The mentor took the dagger and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, "I see, it's this kind of seal." No problem. ”
The tutor immediately gave an OK answer.
Kayilu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is this true?" ”
The mentor nodded: "Attached to it is the [Stillness] magic, although this kind of magic is a bit complicated, but it happens to be in the field of my research, as long as you use some alchemy potions, it can basically be lifted." ”
"So, is it in time?"
"As you wish."
Kayilu happily hugged Saria, who was on the side, and said, "Great, it's time!" ”
"Hey, what are you holding me for! Please let it go! Saliya let out a scream, her face flushed as she tried to push Kairu away, "Let go...... Wait, where are you touching your hands......"
This woman actually took the opportunity to rub oil.
Xia Di was helpless and surprised.
However, one thing was finally solved, and Xia Di ended up easily.
"So, let's talk about the remuneration." However, the tutor's words made the whole room completely cold.
"Huh." Kayilu let go of Saria, and asked a little dazedly, "What do you mean by the reward?" ”
"The cost of alchemy potions, as well as mana and manpower, all need to be spent." The tutor said lightly.
"Yes, yes, but according to this flow, shouldn't you help us for free?" Kayilu retorted.
"Why should I help you for free?" The tutor looked at the girl with some amusement, "I don't quite understand what you young people think, but in my time, there was no such definition as helping others for free. ”
"Moreover, Aditya's letter also says that it is better for me to charge more money." The mentor added.
"Huh? Aditya, you actually cheated me! I treat you like a wife! Kailu had a betrayed look on her face.
Well, see your expression.
Aditya will definitely have a feeling of revenge.
Xia Di thought subconsciously.
"What is this man talking about...... Sister Aditya is a normal person. Saria, who was on the side, seemed to have thought of what had just happened, and frowned in disgust.
"I don't understand either." Erin sighed.
"So, how much does it cost?" Xia Di felt that if he didn't push the topic, the scene would definitely be more chaotic, so he took the initiative to step forward and asked.
"Well, I think about it, probably ......" the tutor cupped his chin and spit out a number, "30 gold coins?" ”
“……”
It's so expensive!
Xia Di's mind went blank for a moment.
He remembered that he had earned a hundred copper coins on a mission to be a guard. Even if his employer Elgu didn't cheat him at that time, he would have to exchange copper for silver at most, and he would be 100 silver coins for a trip, but the mentor's price turned out to be gold coins! And it's in the tens of digits!
This is equivalent to him doing at least dozens of escort tasks, saving all expenses before it is possible to earn so much money.
And if you want to complete the escort dozens of times, it will take 1 year to say the least!
What was Kayilu's reaction ......?
"Hey, what kind of bid is this!? My family's territory only earns this amount at most a year, and you are asking for such a high price! Are you kidding me! In the face of this unbelievably high price, Kayilu's reaction was more fierce than Xia Di's, "I don't have time to joke with you!" Next week is the registration deadline for the king's election! I've got to get my weapons right now! ”
"The Chosen King? Are you talking about the king's election? The tutor sat back in his seat and said indifferently, "It turns out that the little girl is the one who volunteered to be the king, so isn't it natural to pay this money?" This is a chance to become a king. ”
"So, you're asking too much! I can't pay at all! ”
"Oh, then come back to me when you pay for it." The mentor waved his hand.
Kayilu felt like she was going crazy, she had seen too many unpleasant things along the way, and she finally managed to endure the anger against the rebels and barbarians in her heart, and prioritized her actions with the original purpose, but she didn't expect to encounter such a problem here.
If you don't have money, you won't help?
How many people out there are people suffering from hunger and persecution, and you are here to talk to me about money and prevent me from trying to save them! Are you kidding!.
"You ...... Bastard! Kayilu rushed towards her mentor, but Xia Di immediately grabbed her from behind.
"Hey, calm down."
"You let go! I'm going to beat this guy! ”
"What a person who has no perseverance...... "The tutor sighed, "If you don't have any money, how about at least helping me prepare the materials?" In that case, I'll charge you 10 copper coins for the fee flow. ”
"Huh?" Kayilu was stunned for a moment, "It's just...... Is that okay? ”
"What do you think?"
