"Indeed, we all need some good luck." Moriarty also smiled, and then looked back at the undulating sea: "So, Mr. Bruno, what are the number of armor-piercing arrows you need?" ”

"Your Excellency, if I can, I'd like to get ten armor-piercing blast arrows and twenty incendiary arrows." Obviously, Bruno already had a case in his stomach and didn't want to say it directly.

"Ten burst, twenty burned..."

This amount is not much pressure on Moriarty, but if calculated according to the current official quotation of NATO, the corresponding price will reach about 15,000 gold coins, which is by no means a small amount for individual buyers.

"It shouldn't be a big problem." After a moment's hesitation, Moriarty smiled and nodded, but at the same time said, "So, what is your bid for these supplies?" Of course, I'm willing to accept physical objects like alchemical materials or magic scrolls as the price. ”

"You are such a thoughtful and kind person." Seeing that the other party had agreed to his request, a smile appeared in Bruno's eyes: "Of course, I will do everything in my power to repay your generosity and kindness." ”

With that, Bruno took out a palm-sized piece from his bosom and handed it over.

"What is this?"

Moriarty stuck the rod in a gap in the deck beside him, got up, took the slice, and found that it was a withered yellow leaf.

However, unlike ordinary yellow leaves, this leaf does not seem to be made of plant fibers, and it is not only full of weight, but also extremely tightly woven. Moriarty tugged at the edge of the slice with a slight force. But it can't be destroyed even under the pull of its third-level warriors.

And the most peculiar thing is that the front and back sides of this withered yellow leaf are covered with dense warp threads and lines. However, when you look closely, you can clearly see that the lines are not naturally formed, but artificially carved words and runes. It's just that because of the passage of time, the lines in some places have been blurred.

"Is this...'Magic Leaf Leaf'?" Moriarty gently stroked the leaf surface and looked up at Bruno.

"Indeed, Your Excellency. This is a magical leaf inherited from the ancient Elven Empire. The elf nodded.

Like the magic books and spell scrolls of human magicians, in the days of the Ancient Elven Empire, the powerful elven archmages were accustomed to recording their magical knowledge and spells on the "leaf leaves" grown in special magical gardens.

However, after the collapse of the Ancient Elven Empire. The secret craft of planting and making zuò magic leaves was lost. After these tens of millions of years, time flies. The magic leaves that can still survive in the world are really rare, and they can be encountered but not sought.

"What's on this title leaf?" Moriarty then asked.

"Unfortunately, Your Excellency, I don't know that." At this question, the elf shook his head a little helplessly and in frustration: "I'm not a magic professional. Therefore, it is impossible to decipher the essence of this title leaf. And as you can see. The relentless passage of time has left an indelible mark on its body. This also makes it even more difficult for us future generations to recognize its true face. ”

"A broken magic leaf—" Moriarty looked back at the leaf.

"Yes, it's a pity. Of course, if this is a complete title leaf. I think I'm ready to end my career as a mercenary and return home. At this time, Bruno suddenly said.

"Of course." Moriarty naturally understood what the other party meant.

There is no doubt that the price of a perfect magic leaf inherited from the ancient elven empire will never be more than one or twenty thousand gold coins. Even, many Grand Arcanists will be very interested in it, and they will not hesitate to pay a lot of money.

"It seems like an irresistible gamble." After thinking about it for a while, Moriarty suddenly smiled: "I have to say, Mr. Bruno, you have caught the weakness of a magical professional. ”

"Hehe, I just thank Your Excellency for your generosity and goodwill." Seeing that Moriarty agreed to his offer, the elf immediately relaxed and bowed lightly to the other party.

To be honest, Bruno hadn't tried to sell magic leaves to other mid- and high-level mages before, but the results were not satisfactory. For no other reason, the leaf surface of this leaf has been so badly damaged that no mage is confident that it will be repaired or restored. The unreadable magic leaf will undoubtedly be greatly reduced in value, and at most it will be just a historical artifact.

"May I ask where you got this title leaf?" At the stern of the ship, Moriarty asked without leaving a trace as he handed over a total of thirty armor-piercing arrows to the other side.

"That was more than fifty years ago." The seventh-level magic archer naturally had his own storage equipment, but after checking the goods briefly, the elf put away the magic arrow with satisfaction, and said, "My companion and I sniped a Dejia necromancer who rushed into the country in Avili, and this magic leaf is my trophy." It's also quite ironic that what originally belonged to the elves was recaptured by the elves after 10,000 years. Hehe, what a strange fate..."

"I see." Moriarty nodded, no more.

After that, Bruno took his leave and left.

"Morty, what is that guy looking for you?" As soon as the elves left, Guderian sneaked out.

"Just talking." Regarding the transaction of the Magic Leaf, Moriarty didn't want too many people to know, and immediately smiled casually: "You know him? ”

"Hey, of course I do." Bruno, the Flashman, is famous in the hills of Avili. The silverbearded dwarf nodded and said, "Of course, there is still a big gap compared to me. ”

"He's very good at archery?" At this time, White also came to Moriarty's side and asked directly.

"It's pretty impressive." Guderian glanced at Bruno's back: "Not only is he a magic archer at the level of three flowers, but he also learned a lost 'bow fighting technique' from somewhere, which is quite difficult to deal with." ”

"Bow fighting!" White was taken aback.

"What's that?" Moriarty glanced at his followers.

"Bow fighting is a legendary skill of the ancient elven rangers, but I've only heard of it but never really seen it. Legend has it that archers who have mastered the art of bow fighting are no longer only good at long-range attacks, but are more powerful and sharp in melee combat than sword-wielding warriors. ”

As a former crossbowman, White naturally has an in-depth study of bow and arrow combat skills. However, unlike humans, who tend to have a biased approach to the rate of fire and the technical characteristics of sophisticated ordnance, elven archers are known for their mysterious shooting skills and accurate sight range.

"I've heard that this Bruno once single-handedly killed five vampires, including a baron." At this time, the silverbearded dwarf added.

"Killed a 'Blood Baron'?" Moriarty frowned.

"That's right." Guderian was sure: "It was because his only sister was taken away by the necrons that Bruno chased after him alone to rescue." It's a pity that the person finally came back, but the female elf has been given the 'first embrace'. Although the 'Blood Mutation' was later discontinued after treatment, he still became a half-undead body after all. ”

"Half-undead elves? How is this possible? ”

After years of working at Fortress of the Dawn, White is an expert on necromancy. As he was amazed, how could an elf with a natural bias towards the divine order possess the constitution of an undead while maintaining life? This is no different from some "demons" in human beings, who can become "yin and yang dual attributes" with a swing of a sword. Once the elven souls belonging to the Order camp are polluted by the necromancy, they will either be completely transformed into undead or completely collapsed, and there should be no other way out.

"Nobody can figure out what's going on. Later, it was rumored that Bruno's sister was actually a spy sent by Dejia, disguised as an elf until she was discovered. Otherwise, there is no way to explain what happened to her. The silverbearded dwarf lowered his voice in a rare way, as if fearing that his gossip would be heard by the elves in the distance.

"So what happened to Bruno's sister now?"

"What else? The half-undead elves were almost not burned by those old stubborn elves tied to the firewood! Speaking of this, Guderian couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, Bruno has great skills and a hard face, and finally saved her sister's life." However, the siblings were banished from Avili by the elves and began to wander. ”

"I see." Moriarty somewhat understood why a three-flower magic archer would appear in such a dangerous "Operation North Wind".

"Someday, I'm going to tear all those foul-smelling skeletons to pieces!" At this time, White also seemed to remember some previous experiences, and "Dong" punched the board of the boat and said fiercely.

"Hey, then don't forget to call me!" Guderian, who had also suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the undead, immediately responded.

"Okay, no problem!"

Seeing that the two followers, who seem to rarely reach a consensus, rarely reach a consensus, rarely have a "common language", Moriarty couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, White moved on to the rest of the deck, while Guderian returned to his barrel and continued his drink.

"I'm going back to the cabin and rest for a while, Tchaikov, help me keep an eye on the hatch and don't let anyone disturb me." At this moment, Moriarty turned to Naga and said.

"Don't worry, Morty, with me guarding, even if the dragon comes to the door, it won't disturb you."

Since becoming Moriarty's followers, the Balalaika brothers have been in charge of the mage's personal guards. Not to mention, these three big guys are very serious and diligent, worthy of the evaluation of "honest people" given by Guderian at the beginning. (To be continued......)
