"First of all, don't sell it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" The mentor coughed lightly, "It records my magic fluctuations, and no one can use it except me, and besides, this item needs to consume 3~4 intermediate magic magic power every time it is activated, so ordinary people can't use it." ”

"Yes."

Xia Di sighed and smacked his lips secretly.

"That is, only you can speak to me, and I can't speak to you?" Kayilu wondered.

The tutor shook his head: "The call is conducted by both sides, but only I can see the situation on your side on the imaging." ”

"It's like you're being watched...... I understand. Kayilu put her things in her duffel bag and said, "Anyway, I'll collect the materials, and you'll help me unseal the weapon, okay?" By the way, by the way, I also have to help this guy repair his weapon. ”

Kayilu pointed to the Xia Mansion on the side.

"Nobody has ever said you have to make an inch...... Little girl. The mentor sighed helplessly, "Okay, I accept it." However, the repair depends on the specific situation, and if it is beyond my ability, I can only apologize. ”

"Got it, then......" Kayilu folded her arms, "then, can you accept one more request from me?" ”

"What?" In the face of this greedy girl, the tutor seemed a little speechless.

"I'd like to spend the night here."

……

It was late at night.

Since it was too late for Shang to talk, and it was too dangerous to go out of the city at night, the mentor allowed the three of them to stay overnight and invited them to dinner.

Erin and Kayilu slept in Saria's room and guest room, respectively, while Xia Di lay out the floor in the living room.

However, instead of falling asleep early like the others, he waited until late at night and walked to the mentor's room.

He knocked on the door of the tutor's room, and after receiving a response, entered the room.

The silver moonlight shines through the window into the floor of the room, and the curtains that sway gently in the evening breeze seem to have a special mood, and the tutor stands by the window, holding a magic book in his hand, looking out the window.

"It's so late, what's the matter? Lad. Noticing Xia Di's gaze, she stopped her movements and looked at him suspiciously.

"I want to continue the negotiations just now." Xia Di said expressionlessly, "Just now, Kayilu negotiated with you as a magician, and now, I want to have a good talk with you as a collaborator of the King's Army. ”

"Oh?" The tutor's eyes narrowed, her body stiffened visibly, and then she smiled indifferently, "What are you talking about?" Sleepy? ”

"Are you still going to play dumb?" Xia Di took out the list of items that his mentor gave to Kayilu from his arms, which he secretly took out just now when Kayilu was not paying attention, "The names and locations of the materials on this list do not match at all. ”

A few hours ago, the moment Xia Di saw this list, he had a feeling called stunned in his heart.

This is not only because the materials are available in crisis-ridden rebel territory, but also because the names of the materials are all too familiar.

"Cocoa grass, poplar, shalan...... In the notes to these materials, you wrote that they are magical plants, right? Xia Di pointed to the words on the list and took a deep breath, "Who do you want to beg, but these are actually ordinary plants, not to mention outside Yeovil City, even those inconspicuous weeds in the city have grown." Why did you want us to travel all the way to the northwest? ”

If it weren't for the fact that Xia Di had studied botany and herbology at the same time, he wouldn't have known about this matter at all.

"And this, Orihar's Iron Grass, Summer Eye Pupil, the materials of these two names are too suspicious, because this is the name of the material that appears in the wild history of the Book of the Ancients, and it has not yet been proven to exist, and even if it exists, it is impossible to grow in the same area so coincidentally."

"Not necessarily, there are many wonderful things in the world, and you can't easily judge, young man." The tutor leaned leisurely against the window, his right hand against his chin, and whispered with his delicate red lips: "Moreover, you said so much, in fact, you are doubting my level of herbs?" ”

"Yes, I am also doubting your alchemy level, because if you want to conduct magical experiments, alchemy must be learned, and the premise of learning alchemy is to learn to find materials, so herbs must be mastered." Xia Di said lightly, "Of course, if this is the case, your identity is a mystery, so I personally still believe in your level, otherwise, those alchemy crystal sculptures and magic circles at the door will not be able to judge who laid them." ”

"Have you even noticed those magic circles......" the mentor was slightly moved, "I see, you can also do alchemy." ”

"Yes, although my alchemy level is only intermediate, I still have the basics." Xia Di said calmly.

"But what does this have to do with your initial question?"

"Of course, in addition to the discrepancy between the names and distribution of these materials, there is also a problem that convinces me that you are the King's Army...... At least those who are biased towards the King's Army. Xia Di looked at her coldly, "If you want to talk about the reason, because there is a commonality in the distribution location of the materials written on this list. ”

“…… Generality? The tutor didn't seem to expect Xia Di to say that, and he was obviously stunned.

"You may not know it, but this afternoon we went to a tavern called Moment of Togetherness." Xia Di explained, "There we learned that the King's Army was commissioning mercenaries to investigate the Demonic Beasts. And it's the third time, because the first two failed. ”

Xia Di looked at the tutor's increasingly confused expression, deepening his inner guess.

"When we were leaving, I happened to see a map sent by the King's Army to the mercenaries who received the Warcraft investigation mission, and I remember the map very clearly, which marked the area that the investigation team had searched before, I'm afraid it was left by the last survivor after the last Warcraft investigation operation."

Seeing that the mentor's expression was getting more and more serious, Xia Di told the truth, "The points marked on that map just avoid the places marked on your list, and if you connect them with lines, it will be even more obvious." In addition, you still seem to be uneasy, and specially gave us the silver light stone that we can use to talk to show us the way, which shows that you must know that we are exploring an unknown area full of dangers, and the reason for exploring the area is to investigate the reason for the appearance of the monster, right? ”

The mentor was silent for a moment, then sighed, "According to you, didn't I plan to let you accept the commission of investigating the Demonic Beast from the very beginning?" Don't forget, you came to ask me for help, and if you had paid 30 gold coins at the beginning, do you think I would have asked for that? ”

"Absolutely." Xia Di shrugged, "The so-called 30 gold coins are actually just an excuse for you to refuse us, if we have 100 gold coins on us, I'm afraid you will raise the price to 101." I'm sure you can see how much money we have in our pockets. ”

"Oh?" The tutor looked at Xia Di curiously, "Why?" ”

"Intuition." Xia said without hesitation, "In short, your purpose is to attack us and thus accept your real request. ”

Xia Di spoke without a trace of mud and water.

Because the guru's strategy was too obvious to him.

What she uses is actually a common tactic in real business negotiations, called throwing a high ball.

First, they deliberately put forward a request that was unacceptable to the other party, and after being rejected, they turned to a more reasonable request, taking advantage of the gap psychology to increase the probability of successful cooperation.

"I see...... "The mentor nodded, "It seems that you may also be the chosen one." ”

"The Chosen One?" Xia Di paused for a moment.

"So, what are you looking for me for when you get the answer? If you want to refuse, wouldn't it be better to tell that little girl? ”

"No, I'm not going to turn down your mission, because we really need your help...... Merely. Xia Di smiled greedily, "I want you to pay more." ”
