Chapter XVIII Arrangement
Wizards are wealthy, and it is recognized on the mysterious side of Lorantedo, but those in the Dark World also know that wizards' wealth is not exactly their Kimpton, but more about the magical materials and the diaries; In fact, only the wizards themselves understood how much they would yearn for Kimpton at a given moment; Otherwise, there would be no magic equipment and potions made by various wizards.
In addition to honing their skills, Kimpton is their biggest need.
After all, whether it's conducting an experiment or building a spell model, it takes a lot of Kimpton to support it; Especially under the premise that those experiments still have a failure rate, Kimpton naturally does not want much - 10,000 Kimpton, perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, is an unimaginably huge wealth, but in the eyes of wizards who have already got rid of the title of apprentice, it is only a quarter's cost of experimental materials.
And that's not even counting building spell models; If you even count the construction of the spell model, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it for three weeks.
And now, Filsa's group of four is facing such a situation; It's just that Filsa, as the team leader, doesn't understand this at all; After hearing Vauban's words, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Didn't we leave with a lot of standard-volume magic crystals?" β
Vauban smiled bitterly and said, "Do you remember the last time you made a bet with that disciple of the Shak Dragon? All of our magic crystals are used to buy planets...... And the rest of the money, there are less than a thousand kimptons! β
The wizard girl's eyes immediately widened and she exclaimed, "Less than a thousand Kimptons?!" β
All four were official wizards, especially Vaubana. It's just a step away from being a superior wizard; Even. If you don't care about it. Becoming a high-ranking wizard is only a matter of an eye; However, Vauban stubbornly believes that he still needs more knowledge to replenish his brain, so he has not improved it for a long time.
But, even so, this thousand Kimptons is not enough for the four of them for a week; After all, how expensive that magic pet of hers was. Filsa knows it!
Vauban nodded, "Well, there's less than a thousand Kimptons; Moreover, even if it is to sell the planet in his hand...... It's just a little relief; After all, there are not many wizards who need to occupy the planet, and there are too many planets in our hands, and the result of oversupply ......"
Speaking of the back, Vauban couldn't help but shake his head, Uriel and Beit also looked sad, and the wizard girl looked up happily after turning around in place. She said excitedly, "We can make money!" With our strength, we want to get money. It shouldn't be very difficult! A lot of the guys I've seen in Wizard's Secret City are rich people! β
As she spoke, the wizard girl's eyes flashed with a crystalline luster, and Vauban unceremoniously raised a hand knife and struck the other party on the forehead-
There was a crunch crack, and it sounded
"It hurts, it hurts...... It hurts! β
The wizard girl immediately squatted down with her forehead in her arms, crying out in pain again and again.
And Vauban, the young wizard who had always had a gentle, modest smile, showed a very rare expression, and he said in a very serious tone: "We are not those who throw themselves into the dark...... Even if we need money, we have to pay with our own labor, not for nothing! β
Looking at the wizard girl squatting on the ground with her head on her head and Uriel and Beyt looking at each other, Vauban sighed slightly in his heart, he knew very well what his three partners were thinking, and at the same time understood how dangerous and terrible such an idea was, and when he thought of the consequences, Vauban shuddered.
Taking a deep breath, Vauban said word by word: "We have a force that ordinary people don't have, but this kind of force is not unique, on Lorante, there are other people who also have this kind of power, and they are much stronger than us...... We can't be unaware, so don't take that luck anymore, it will make us doomed, and you won't forget the Final Armistice that was read out when you left the Wizard's Path, right? β
Including the wizard girl, the three of them immediately thought of the agreement, and subconsciously shuddered; In the treaty attached to that agreement, if a trained wizard violated the laws of Lolante, he would be severely punished and expelled from the hands of the wizardsβthe punishment was terrible enough for these young men, and the expulsion from the hands of the wizards would be unimaginable.
The marshmallow hung weakly in her hand, and the wizard girl cried and asked, "Then what should we do?" β
Looking at Filsa, then at Uriel and Beit, Vauban sighed, "For now...... I don't have a good idea! β
"Perhaps, I can give you a solution!"
Ye Qi, who had been hiding by the side for a long time, walked out of the crowd with a smile; And it wasn't until Ye Qi spoke up that the wizard quartet noticed that someone was standing beside them, and the four of them were startled and quickly formed a battle formation, with the strongest Vauban standing at the front, Uriel and Beyt on the wings, and Filsa standing at the back.
And when Vauban saw clearly that it was Ye Qi, the young wizard couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lord Ye Qi, please don't scare us like this!" β
Looking at Ye Qi approaching, the four of them relaxed their vigilance; However, Filsa said very politely: "Today is the harvest festival, why don't you stay with those wives of yours?" Could it be that they have finally discovered your filthiness and are ready to be free? β
As soon as these words came out, Vauban , Uriel and Beyt brought up the hearts they had just put down, and the three of them looked at the smiling Ye Qi carefully, and after their faces did not change, they breathed a sigh of relief again, and Vauban stood up even more habitually, and said apologetically: "Lord Ye Qi, I'm sorry...... Filsa, she didn't mean to! β
In fact, ever since the wizard girl knew that Ye Qi and the female cavalry captain, the chameleon, Reynx, and Linda. After the relationship with North, he made similar remarks more than once; Four of the ladies were even persuaded. But. When Ryanckes learned of the existence of a witch. The wizard girl's attitude towards Ye Qi changed from indignation to hostility - a hostility from a female perspective.
And for such hostility, Ye Qi naturally won't take it to heart, after all, there is nothing between them; At most, it was an agreement with the Chief Wizard, and the other party was just an appendage to this agreement, and one of many.
Therefore, Ye Qi's gaze did not stay on Filsa's body at all. He looked straight at Vauban and asked, "You seem to need Kimpton now?" β
Vauban nodded without denial, and said, "Yes, Lord Yeqi...... We're short of Kimpton right now! β
After a pause, Vauban added, and then his eyes fell on Ye Qi's body, before, Ye Qi said that there was a solution.
Ye Qi laughed: "I have some things that I need help with now; If you agree, I'll provide ...... Well, about a month's worth of materials for the four of you! β
A specific figure was not given. But this ambiguity is even more tempting.
Vauban asked directly: "Is it all the materials?" β
Ye Qi shook his head and said, "Of course not." Are you going to use your current strength to dissect the heart of a Barlow Flame Demon? That's impossible! Just material that is within your strength! β
Such restrictive conditions are undoubtedly more concrete, real, and more tempting to Vauban He wasn't alone, though; Turning around, Vauban looked at the three companions behind him, Uriel and Beit nodded repeatedly, although Filsa snorted disdainfully at first, but still nodded slightly after a moment - although angry, Filsa would never affect the interests of the team because of herself; Otherwise, the team would have collapsed long ago.
The promise of the three companions made Vauban have a final decision, but he did not immediately agree to Ye Qi, but asked: "Lord Ye Qi, what kind of thing is it?" You must know that our strength is not strong, and some things beyond our ability are forgiven for not agreeing! β
Such a non-blind and cautious attitude won Ye Qi's favor, and he nodded slightly: "Some tasks that are very suitable for your strength...... Of course, this isn't a good place to talk, I'm waiting for you in the bar β ten minutes, how's that? β
Vauban nodded, "Enough!" β
After Vauban's nod, Ye Qi's figure vanished; Although their eyes widened this time, they still couldn't see clearly how Ye Qi disappeared.
Looking at Uriel and Beyt's shocked appearance, Vauban shook his head and said, "The difference in strength makes us seem to be blind and deaf!" β
Filsa, still indignant, said, "One day, I'm going to get to that point!" β
Vauban smiled: "We are looking forward to it! β
β¦β¦
The wizard quartet did not let Ye Qi wait for a long time, and before ten minutes were up, they had already appeared in front of Ye Qi.
After stretching out his hand to signal the four of them to sit down, Ye Qi waved at the bartender behind the bar and said, "Three glasses of juice for our three young people!" As he spoke, he looked at the only adult Vauban and asked, "Rum or mead, or beer?" β
With the previous lesson, Vauban at this moment is definitely not a drop of alcohol, so he immediately waved his hand and declared: "I want juice too!" β
Ye Qi smiled and shouted to the bartender again, "Another glass of juice!" β
When the burly bartender put four glasses of juice on the table, Ye Qi had already briefly recounted-
"Dark wizards, you're no stranger, are you? This time it's going to be about these guys, but it's not the dark wizards you know, it's a group of people who have returned from overseas...... Hmm, Eyes of Darkness, have you heard of it? β
Ye Qi asked, and the four young wizards shook their heads at the same time; After glancing at it, Ye Qi continued.
"The Dark Eyes, as I understand them, are a very special group of wizards, who are made up of several organizations, collectively known as the Dark Eyes; Not only are the high-level commanders set up, but the wizards at the bottom are also determined after layers of selection - to put it simply, they are elite! β
When Vauban heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lord Ye Qi, you don't plan to. Let's deal with such elites, shall we? β
Ye Qi smiled: "Of course not. I just need you guys to scout! β
The four young wizards were stunned. Subconsciously asked, "Reconnaissance? β
Ye Qi nodded and said, "That's right, it's reconnaissance!" As far as I know, some of the Dark Eye's subordinates have taken advantage of this harvest festival to infiltrate Rantingburg, and they are planning to establish a stronghold here or do something else...... That's why I need you to step in! β
When Filsa confronted Ye Qi, she always showed an indignant look. At this time, she was shocked, and she exclaimed, "Those subordinates of the Dark Eye will attack us or other wizards and replace them?!" β
Ye Qi glanced at this little girl who reacted very quickly in surprise, and then nodded affirmatively, and said, "Wizards are best to hide their identities, naturally they are still wizardsβand you are very familiar with wizards from the hands of wizards, so I want you to find out if there are some wizards among them who suddenly have strange behaviors!" β
"Of course, you just need to get some news. There's no need to go any further β I'll send someone else to take care of the rest! β
Ye Qi stated again, if he could. Ye Qi certainly wouldn't have done such a thing in two parts, but as Vauban himself said, they weren't strong; Maybe compared with ordinary people, it is something that needs to be looked up, but compared to the opponent who needs to face this time, it is still not enough to see; At the very least, the juggler he had seen before was a step ahead of Vauban, the most powerful of them.
The wizard quartet quickly made eye contact, and this kind of communication was basically routine, when Ye Qi said that it was related to the safety of the other wizards in the wizard's hand, the worry on the faces of the four young people had already made Ye Qi understand the choice of these four young people.
Sure enough, just a moment later, the four of them nodded on behalf of Vauban and said, "Lord Ye Qi, we are willing to serve you!" β
Ye Qi stood up with a smile, he walked towards the second floor, but his voice came clearly: "This is not a service...... It's just a mutual benefit! β
Filsa pursed the corners of her lips and said, "Fake! β
Uriel and Beyt habitually remained silent when Filsa expressed their opinions, while Vaubane corrected his partner: "Lord Yech doesn't need to pretend to do anything with us, with the strength of Lord Yech, this is an irrefutable fact......"
Filsa was still unwilling, and said: "However, it is a fact that we do things for him!" β
Vauban laughed: "It is also a fact that he is paid accordingly; And if it weren't for Landingburg, I don't think we'd be able to get paid......"
As he spoke, Vauban shook his head and sighed.
Filsa snorted coldly and said, "This proves his indifference even more!" β
Vauban shrugged his shoulders and said, "How can we not be like that?" β
"Little ghosts, although the boss is very magnanimous, but you are so unscrupulous in front of me, talking about the boss, do you need me to teach you a lesson?" The bartender, who tapped the bar twice, put down the glass in his hand, and looked at the four little wizards in front of him with an unkind expression.
"Of course not, Mr. Amanda!"
Vauban smiled and pulled up his three companions, and immediately walked outside, not even Filsa, who had always been a disobedient personβin fact, in the whole bar, except for Ye Qi himself, the remnants were the ones they feared the most; They had seen for themselves how one of them had killed a high-ranking wizard with a common firearm.
"Where should we start?"
Standing at the door of the bar, Uriel looked at the barbecue grill that had been erected and swallowed his saliva - unfortunately the meat on it was not yet cooked; Uriel, who was helpless, retracted his gaze and asked.
"After the end of the 'Wizard Secret City', a war broke out directly, and many of us lost contact, where should we start?" Beyt was also a little overwhelmed.
Filsa said very simply: "The Nosd family! β
Uriel and Beyt were stunned, and Vauban explained with a smile: "Stendon and Master West are still guests there, and we can get a clue from the two masters!" After all, the two masters are the ones who lead the team this time! β
With the abrupt nods of Uriel and Beit, the wizarding quartet walked very quickly towards the Nosrid manor - because of the parade of floats, the roads in the city had already been completely under martial law, and if they wanted to hire a car, they had to at least go to the vicinity of the suburbs; Luckily, for the sake of transportation, there are hired car dealers on all four sides of Landenburg's suburbs close to the city; The only difference, that is, the carriage in the direction of the Nosrid family estate, is only a horse-drawn carriage.
However, having a carriage is better than two legs, especially for four wizards.
β¦β¦
"It's going to be dark! I think you should speed things up a bit! β
The strange wolf said in Ye Qi's heart.
"Even if it's a surprise gift, you shouldn't be so rushed!"
Ye Qi, who was leaving the bar from the passage, rolled his eyes angrily.
"My urging is the greatest affirmation of the surprise of this gift...... Definitely better than sitting around in a bar with nothing to do! β
"So, what is the purpose of my sitting? Isn't that a requirement of someone's existence? β
After turning over and exiting the underground passage, Ye Qi retorted.
