"Last question, how do you know that the devil is enslaved by us?" The middle-aged man's expression was a little relaxed.

Joxiu smiled, "The first thing I noticed about this problem is that the time of your meeting in the evening is almost the same. ”

"I know, that's because you're deliberately lowering the difficulty."

"But, beyond that, there are other doubts, such as that every time it is the result of failure."

"Since you have the purpose of forming an alliance, it is impossible for you not to have enough investigation beforehand, and if those are outsiders, it is impossible to fail all at once every time."

"Of course, you can pretend to be a little more clever, but even so, there are other details to follow."

It's just that there is no need to arrange it so strictly, and if you can see through it to this extent, you won't be confused by a deeper illusion.

Realizing this, Joxiu admired their wisdom even more, and did not blindly pursue perfection, but knew how to grasp the measurement of the scale.

"So, what do you think of us?"

For the first time, a smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged man.

"Yes, yes."

"Honestly, you're fine in every way."

"It's just that I want to ask, do you represent all the fools?"

Joxiu shook his head honestly and said, "No, what I'm talking about is just the East Coast branch. ”

"To tell you the truth, you are still not qualified to form an alliance with all the forces of the fools."

"You!"

Miss Du, who had been listening to it with a lot of taste and showing some admiration, was angry when she heard the words and jumped up.

The middle-aged man patted her on the shoulder, she snorted aggrievedly, and sat down honestly.

He nodded, and continued, "Indeed, I have heard your rumors. ”

"The East Coast division, too, is enough."

"It's just that before discussing cooperation, should you also show some sincerity? After all, we have also shown relevant sincerity. ”

"Giving gifts to each other can lay a good foundation for future relationships, isn't it?"

On the surface, this is the last temptation, or rather, ......

What the middle-aged man said was actually referring to the second mysterious statue.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that it is a precious item, and it is impossible to carry it with you when you go out to negotiate a transaction.

It's not something that a minion can easily have.

This is one of the reasons why Joshua was able to conclude that the devil was their enslavement, and that statue was a gift to the future collaborator.

It doesn't matter if the talks fall apart later, they naturally have a way to recycle it, or they don't mind simply leaving it alone.

Because......

"Sincerity?" Yoxiu sneered, "A cursed item, considered sincerity?" ”

The first mysterious statue, which he found in the cursed golden coffin in the Wanderer's Crypt, contained a sapient cursed spirit.

The appearance of the second statue even inspired the test of his fool's mark in advance, and the test was the power of the curse.

No matter how you think about it, these statues are inseparable from the curse.

After absorbing the curse from the Mark of the Fool, the mysterious statue has also changed, and there is an additional hint in the description.

Curses: 1

Joshu estimated that if the cursed spirit hadn't grown up, it would have been absorbed by the statue long ago.

It seems that this absorbed curse should reach a certain level, and this standard must be so strong that even the fraudulent puppet is not exempt!

Now the two Mystic Statues are combined, and additional stats are also activated:

Mysterious Statue (2) -

Effect 1: Spirit +1, Charisma +1

Effect 2: Curse Resistance +5

If it weren't for the fact that these attribute bonuses and the Fool's Mark might still need to rely on them in the future, Joxiu might have wanted to dispose of it.

"Are you satisfied with the last temptation, the temptation of insight?"

Insight determines horizons, horizons determine potential, and, the ability to survive on the mainland.

The middle-aged man finally took off his expressionless face and said apologetically:

"Forgive us for going a little too far, but we're really suffering."

"You are really beyond my imagination, the organization of the fools is indeed worthy of its reputation, and I even think that future allies can be accepted to half the extent."

"When we formally discuss cooperation, we will give sufficient compensation and apologize on our behalf......"

This time, the matter of the Eastern Caravan ended like this, and when the other party said this, the matter of the alliance was basically finalized.

In the end, the middle-aged man didn't mention the statue either, which made Joshua nod his head secretly.

He wasn't sure if the statue would be useful to Joshua and them, after all, the corpses of the dead were ominous to ordinary people, but they were a blessing for the wizards.

The smart way is to keep your mouth shut and casually make an appointment to deal with it yourself.

It avoids both possible embarrassment and disgust from the possibility of tempting secrets.

Along the way, Sufena couldn't help but look back at Yoxiu frequently, which made Yoxiu a little uneasy.

"Why do you keep looking at me like that?"

Sufena's face turned red, and Joxiu felt that this girl who looked a little cold on the outside was actually very shy.

"I just didn't expect you to be so smart, no wonder the teacher thinks highly of you."

"You're almost ready to catch up with Dosiro."

Joxiu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that after a long period of contact, Lexya was obviously very optimistic about him?

Dosiro is one of the best fools in the East Coast Branch, and it's only natural for Sufina to put him under Dosiro.

But Joshua didn't care about that, and he didn't have to compare that bit of vanity.

The strong, speak with strength.

What's more, he doesn't think that he is really better than those fools who have been engaged in it for many years, there are people outside the world.

"Now, it's time to go back to Aoba Forest to find Ashiya......"

The house where the Eastern Caravan was located -

The middle-aged man was respectfully facing the old man sitting on a chair drinking tea in front of him at this time.

If they were there, they would have recognized that the old man was their butler.

"Grandpa, I can't figure it out, although the side of the fool is good, but the believers of the God of Wisdom, there are still ...... Not inferior either. ”

"There's no need for us to rush to a decision so quickly."

It is not only the fools who have succeeded in contacting them, but for some considerations, they have erased or disguised the traces of this information.

"Not to mention the East Coast, even the fools on the continent have never heard of a legendary-level person sitting in charge."

"Grandpa, you can almost compete with them in your own strength!"

He is none other than the master behind the Eastern Caravan, a mage who has reached a legend.

The old man shook his head and didn't answer directly: "Do you know that when that young man came into this hall, his first reaction was to look at me more?" ”

The middle-aged man was taken aback, "Could he ......?"

"That's right, apparently he found out too."

"A caravan coming from afar is impossible without the protection of a strong man."

"And in the family-style caravan, the strong one is often the old man in the clan."

"What role should an old man play, so that it is possible to hide behind the scenes, follow you and Xiaodu at all times, but can hint at you at critical moments?"

The middle-aged man subconsciously replied, "Butler! ”

"That's right," the old man sighed, "that's where the young man was keen, but he didn't say it, because it wasn't necessary. ”

"Those believers who claim to be wise men, they can analyze our intentions, and they are probably also the wisdom of the group."

"My gut tells me that our meeting with the Fool was the result of that teenager's solo efforts."

"That's one of the reasons why I think so highly of fools."

"I believe that it is not impossible for the wise to do it, but they may have ignored it, or they have slackened in the face of success, or they may have forgotten the details."

"These are deadly."

"I don't know if the East Coast bullies intentionally or not, but what they're doing gives me hope."

"The rise of a force, in addition to a steady stream of new blood, is more crucial, it needs a young man who is good enough."

"Such people are often worthy of our hope for the future."

The old man sighed, rubbing his fingers on the teacup, "East Coast Branch, Lexya is famous. ”

"I'm more convinced that he's calculated it."

"Finally, do you know what I saw in that teenager?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said nothing, obviously not knowing.

"A careerist who has come to his senses."

The old man's words are understood in the ears of middle-aged people-

"A careerist who has lived for hundreds of years and has been recognized by the old man who has been precipitated by the years."

And careerists, in history, are often called -

A tyrant or, a dictator.
