Chapter 355: Drifting Conversations, Three Enchantment Quests, True Friends

"Alright, Silence!"

After a moment of silence, the Torch Prophet let out a low shout, and immediately all the angry and shouting minotaurs around him stopped, but they still stared at Moriarty.

"Human, watch your words. Some things, even if they are reasonable, are not nonsense. It's like an old saying on your earth: 'The tongue is a double-edged sword that sometimes kills the enemy and sometimes kills itself.'" ”

Jolob looked at Moriarty, as if reprimanding and admonishing. Just looking at the old minotaur's expression, there is no real anger, and it seems that he agrees with the other party's uncompromising view of vowed to recapture the "holy city".

"Yes, I will bow down more to your kind words."

Moriarty bowed lightly and accepted it when he saw it. It seems a bit reckless to mention the "Eclipse Moonlight" just now, but the real intention is still to make a test, just to see what kind of personality and style this Torch Prophet has. Now that the other party's reaction is well-founded, reasonable and responsible, worthy of being a wise elder, Moriarty certainly bows his head and apologizes.

"Human, explain your intentions." Without further ado, the Torch Prophet asked directly.

"Honorable Prophet, in order to find a way home, I intend to go to the Dark Neon, so I would like to hire a guide from your tribe. I'm willing to pay enough for that. Moriarty got straight to the point and made a request.

"As I said, I don't think you'll get anything out of Dark Color." Jolob shook his huge head.

Moriarty just smiled, apparently sticking to her thoughts.

"That's fine." He looked at the obsessive human on the other side. The Minotaur Prophet suddenly turned to the other and asked, "Are you a mage?" Or even an alchemist? ”

"Not bad."

Moriarty nodded. Jolob had just witnessed his own battle with the Minotaur Dardanion, and had seen more than a dozen magic puppets being driven and manipulated, so it was natural for the Prophet of Wisdom as a Torch to make this guess.

"You just said that you want to hire my people as guides, what kind of pay can you pay?"

Nodding slightly, Jolob abruptly turned the subject back again. The surrounding minotaurs, including the caveman elder Tartar, were all stunned when they heard this. Is this still the solemn and deep prophet? How can you listen to his tone as if the pathetic mercenaries are bargaining with their employers in the market?

"What do you mean, Lord Jolob?" Moriarty heard the strings and knew the sound, and in connection with the context before and after, the so-called reward could already be guessed eight or nine.

"The road to Dark Neon is not easy. The dangers are high. I can't just send one or two people with you, it's irresponsible. But..."No, Jolob turned the conversation away again, like an old man who didn't have a preface to say something. It's very entangled.

"But what?" Moriarty could only follow the rhythm of his master. Asked again.

"But a month later. My clan will travel en masse to Dark Neon. If you can wait, I can allow you to come with us. Finally, the Torch Prophet made a generous gesture. However, such generosity made the surrounding minotaurs look at each other for a while.

"A month?" Moriarty was happy at first, then immediately calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'm willing to wait a month." Although in his heart, he longed to leave immediately and return to the ground as much as possible, but he also knew that this was a deep underground world after all, and it had its own set of rules of the game, and now he had to be patient.

"So, Lord Jolob, is there anything I can do?" The Minotaur put down his chips, and Moriarty, who was willing to accept it, offered to ask for the price again.

"Serve... Dear alchemist, I have a few little things here that I want to enchant. With your skills, you don't think it's a problem, right? ”

Jolob raised a pair of bronze bell-like eyes and looked at the human with a smirk. Sure enough, the other party took a fancy to Moriarty's rare alchemist status and asked him to provide core technical services in exchange. Otherwise, how could the Minotaur, who had always been intolerant of vulgar things, speak so well to a stranger.

"Can you start by asking: what kind of little things are they, and how do you want to enchant them?" As a "service provider", it is natural to ask the customer's requirements before making a commitment.

"It's not hard." Jolob opened his nostrils, and finally showed a rare smile: "A two-handed axe made of stainless steel, with a blade of fire-smelted copper, and inlaid with konjac stone; Hopefully add an extra '+1 Bash Stat'. An iron gall wood shield, which is very strong in itself; However, I would like to add '+1 Fire Resistance'. Finally, there's a sapphire tiara, which itself has a '+2 physical defense attribute', and now, I'd like to make it a '+3' attribute. Well, that's all there is to it. ”

After saying that, the Torch Prophet nodded again, and then stared straight at Moriarty, waiting for the other party's reaction.

"Hmm... That's it... Is it? Huh..."

Looking at Jolob's huge eyes, Moriarty was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed again, and at the same time repeated the other party's closing words helplessly.

"What? Difficult? The Torch Prophet asked rhetorically as if he didn't understand the market, and his expression was full of layman's ignorance.

Hehe, it's not just a little difficult, Jolob's "three little things" are simply a lion's mouth. Not to mention whether Moriarty has the ability to complete these three enchantment requirements, just in terms of the price of the alchemy technology involved, even in Bracada, the hometown of mages, it is at least in tens of thousands of gold coins, and there is no market, not to mention that it is still in Nigon, and such alchemy services are even more difficult to find.

It seems that the phrase "people grow old and become fine" is common everywhere. And Qiu Luobu even ate the weakness of the human mage's desire to return to his hometown, and "blackmailed" a lot.

"Prophet, to be honest, your request is really not simple." With a light sigh, Moriarty spoke again.

"Yes." The old minotaur snorted vaguely, but did not say anything.

"Still, I can meet your wishes. But there are also three requirements. What else could the Torch Prophet say to the Torch Prophet, Moriarty immediately decided to open the skylight and speak brightly.

"Good! You speak! Unexpectedly, the human mage would suddenly agree to all three enchantment jobs, and Jolob, who was actually preparing to bargain with the other party, couldn't help but be stunned, but then let out a low sigh, his eyes showing joy.

"First, the cost of all the raw materials used in the alchemy enchantment process is borne by your tribe." Moriarty said first.

"No problem, it should be." has already made a noble alchemist work for nothing, and if the material fee has to be paid by others, no matter how thick the cowhide on Qiu Luobu's face is, he can't do such a humiliating deed.

"Second, if the enchantment is successful, I hope that it is up to me to conceal it from the outside world." In a foreign land, Moriarty still thinks that "keeping a low profile is king", and he doesn't want to make a big splash and cause unnecessary trouble.

"Yes." Since the author is reluctant to come forward, the old minotaur has no intention of forcibly making a name for it.

"In the end, you must know what the true value of these three alchemy enchantments is. So, the reason why I agreed to your request is not only to be able to go to the Dark Neon with your tribe, but also because I sincerely want to be your friend, not a simple foreign employer. Please be aware of this. After saying the last sentence, Moriarty's expression was solemn and solemn.

The Torch Prophet did not immediately reply to the last words of the human mage, but pondered for a while before looking at Moriarty and saying, "I understand what you mean, so I will say it clearly." These three enchantment quests are indeed very important to me as the Crucible Tribe, and if you can complete them, I at the Minotaur will remember you and be honest with you as a true friend of the Crucible Hills. ”

As a high-level torch prophet and the head of the clan, Qiu Luobu's words naturally shocked the audience again. Among them, the most surprising is the Tartar Tower. You know, this Minotaur has been migrating here for more than a hundred years, and although the cavemen get along with them day by day, and seem to be a good example of neighborly mutual assistance, the Tatars know in their hearts that the Minotaur has always been arrogant and contemptuous of their own tribe, and there is no real equality like a friend. In this regard, the caveman elders in the past could only be helpless to remain silent, who made the difference in strength between the two sides so huge, as if the manticore lion would never be friends with the wolf newt.

And today, the human mage who met for the first time relied on his own strength and rare alchemy to make the powerful Lord Jolob personally promise to be a "true friend", and the weight and significance of this made Tartar can't help but be jealous again and again, but he can only continue to be silent and secretly greedy.

As for the other minotaurs around them, although they were equally surprised by the leader's decision, under the unshakable and powerful authority of the Torch Prophet, none of them dared to stand up against it, not even Dardanion, who had just been beaten by Moriarty.

"Thank you, Lord Jolob, for your kind words, and I will do my best to live up to your request."

Hearing the old minotaur's statement, Moriarty finally smiled with satisfaction. The Minotaur, though rough and irascible, had a fine tradition of trustworthiness. This trait is especially scarce in the Underworld. Therefore, by receiving this promise from the Torch Prophet, Moriarty has found a reliable and passable Snake ally in the unfamiliar land of Nigon.

Without waiting any longer, Moriarty said directly: "A month's time is already tense for the three enchantments, I need to requisition a place for the furnace, and please arrange a clansman as my assistant."

Hearing these two requests, Qiu Luobu was stunned again. (To be continued......)
