Chapter 918: The Farm (11)

After the white light passed, we returned to the hillside.

"Did you find a water source?" Taling asked very actively.

"Found it," I said, "and things are going well." ”

"Congratulations," said Taling, "but the Tyrannosaurus rex doesn't seem to be in great shape. ”

"It's evolved again," I said, "all right, we're going to go to the farm now......"

"By the way," Taling said suddenly, "when you teleported out in the morning, it seemed to bring with you a faint amount of dark magic......

"That's right," I said...... "we've encountered some dark creatures under our farm, and they've been wiped out. ”

"Do you want me to monitor it for you?" Taling said.

"Not for now," I said, "although my exploration of the plane is not over yet, I would like to try to summon a spirit to help me monitor the farm, and the rest of the area, even if it is a test of it, you can connect with him and communicate with him when the time comes." ”

"In that case, then I wish you success." Taling didn't seem to realize I was lying.

"Okay, send me over now!" I say.

"Wait a minute," said Taling, "there's a werewolf named Alcatel out there who wants to find you, and he's been waiting for two days. ”

"Alcatel?" I was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered this werewolf who was very close to the Minotaur, and his good brother, Hadiam who died in the beast tide of Animo City, "He is looking for me?" ”

"He said he was going to give you something," Taling said, "and he had ...... strings attached."

"What's that?" I asked subconsciously.

"It's a whale skeleton," said Taling, "and it's said to have been unearthed in the swamp some time ago, when it was said that there was treasure there, and people had hollowed out the mud, and a skeleton appeared, and he collected it......

I immediately understood, a little surprised, but also a little clear: "He is really ...... Well, what are his conditions? ”

"He's going to be your subordinate when it's time to enter Santas." Taling said.

"How is his strength at the moment?" I asked.

"It's still a little bit away from passing the assessment, after all, he is a warrior profession, and the requirements are higher than that of a magician." Taling said.

"Then ......," I hesitated, and then said, "I'll go see him." ”

I told Ricardo and the Tyrannosaurus Rex to go back to the farm first, and went to the entrance to Santas's Mage Tower myself.

Alcatel was waiting for me outside the door, and it looked like he had been waiting for a few days.

"I've heard about you in the Kalmdo steppe!" Alcatel came up and said, "Everyone in the prairie says you're a traitor, but I know you're not like that!" ”

"You can see clearly," I said, "why, aren't you used to taking risks in the swamp?" ”

"I want to enter the wider battlefield," Alcatel said, "and I have heard that the mage tower can travel to all kinds of planes and adventures, and I don't want to go to the swamp anymore." ”

"At the end of the day, you just don't like it here, and you don't really want to be my subordinate." I say.

"As long as you promise, I can do something that does not violate your principles," Alcatel said, "after all, you are the highest-ranking orc in the mage tower of all the people I know." ”

"You know me well, no wonder you collect whale bones," I said, "how do you know I'm going to take that?" ”

"I know you like the odd, and you did something out of the ordinary when the youth used the warrior conference," Alcatel said, "and besides, if you let them frame you for stealing the Beamon Relics, you show them the bones of whales!" ”

"Ahaha, I like this reason!" Leo smiled.

I also laughed: "Are you really sure that Beamon's remains were not taken by me?" ”

"At least, you can't take that much," said Alcatel, "and even if you take one or two, it's better than carrying the infamy of stealing thirteen." ”

"It's a rarity!" I couldn't help but nod, "You really know me." ”

"Who let me have a good brother of the Minotaur?" "I also want to thank you for helping me fulfill Hadiam's last wish, and for his sake, you should take me in too, shouldn't you?" ”

I said, "I do have some interest in whale bones, but ......."

"But what?" Alcatel was a little eager.

"You want to enter the Mage Tower, but you don't have enough strength." I say.

"I know that," Alcatel touched the weapon at his waist, "but there's room for growth......"

"To be honest, I have a little privilege in the Mage Tower, and I can bypass the strength test and let you in," I said, "However, your strength is basically not of much help to me, and besides, when it comes to Hadiam, I don't actually owe you anything, do I?" You have nothing else to do with this skeleton that deserves my privilege. ”

Alcatel was a little anxious: "You, you weren't like this before!" In Annimo City, in Thunder City, you are a warm-hearted and kind guardian warrior, your care for the commoners, even more than the respect for the nobles, unexpectedly, you entered the Mage Tower, but became a ......"

I was a little impatient: "People will always change, just like you, didn't you yearn for freedom and didn't want to be attached to any force?" Now it's coming to me again......"

"I misread you." Alcatel seemed a little disappointed.

I said, "There is not much benefit for you to join my team, besides, the Alien Plane is not something that a person of your strength can go to, it is better to sell me the bones, live well in the city, and do some business than to venture outside, by the way, do you know that Gillian?" If you are afraid that a comfortable life will make you weaker, you can challenge her, and perhaps, when you are strong enough, you can enter the mage tower......"

"You let me fight a woman?" Alcatel seemed enraged.

"You're not necessarily her match yet," I said, "and she's already qualified to enter the Mage Tower, but she just doesn't want to go." ”

"Really?" Alcatel said, "I've heard that this woman is not bad......

"Oh, two male wolves and a female wolf, this is the rhythm of a prime-time gossip and bloody romance drama!" Leo exclaimed, "I want to stay and watch the plot develop!" ”

"Go," I said, "and she'll come to me when you win, and by the way, you can make an offer for the bones." ”

"A thousand gold coins!" Alcatel said a very high number.

"Isn't it going to be a little higher?" I was also a little surprised.

"The bones themselves are not worth so much, but I have spent a lot of energy," Alcatel said, "and in addition to energy, there is also a piece of sincerity on my part, but unfortunately, you are no longer the fair and kind guardian warrior!" ”

"Well, well......" I hesitated for a moment, then said, "One thousand gold coins, in the future, you can enter the Mage Tower with your ability, and I welcome you to join my team." ”

"No need!" Alcatel said coldly, "Now you only need benefits, whether it is money or manpower, it is just your tool, I don't want to be reduced to a tool." ”

"Alright then......" I sighed.

"Don't think you're at a loss, it cost me two hundred gold coins just to move around here from the swamp entrance," Alcatel said, "not to mention the labor consumption in the swamp."

I could hear his sincerity and said, "I really didn't expect it...... However, we have all changed, you used to disdain to obey people, and now I don't want to be generous and kind to people unconditionally......"

"No explanation." Alcatel waved his hand violently, "Get the money, we'd better end our deal quickly." ”

"Okay." I smiled a little helplessly, "The money I just earned is really ...... to spend it."

Dozens of burly centaurs carried a dozen wooden chests to the entrance of the mage tower, and they were then teleported to the hillside.

I handed Alcatel the gold in the finest hand, watched him distribute the pay, and watched him leave without looking back.

I returned to the hillside, and Taling said, "Why did you reject him?" ”

I said: "Actually, his talent has come to an end, besides, although I admire him, his personality is really not suitable for being a subordinate, I saw him in the city before, I just regarded him as a friend, it seems that now he is not even a friend." ”

"I don't know what to say about your decision, but I don't think you should be." "Although such a person is not very strong, I believe that once he becomes your subordinate, he will be very loyal." ”

I was a little surprised: "Would you still consider this?" ”

"It's just a little bit of advice from me." Taling said.

"Advice from a friend?" I smiled, "Thanks, perhaps, when he is qualified to enter the Mage Tower, I will find a way to make up for it." ”

With that, I returned to the farm with the whale bones.

Although the bones are large, they are not as good as the pile of materials for building the half-plane, the materials have been used almost the same, and the bones are not used for the time being, so they are piled aside.

After dealing with the whale bones, I noticed that the sand and soil spilled from the spatial passage in the sky had already piled up a small mountain, but on the flat land more than 20 kilometers long, this hill knew that it was extremely small......

"We need to increase the flow of sand." I said to Leo.

"Just make a big one!" Leo said, "By the way, I didn't expect Alcatel to be a cold-faced wolf cub, and his acting skills are not bad......"

"What?" I was stunned.

"Do you know who makes jokes the funniest?" Leo changed the subject.

"What do you mean?" I asked in hot pursuit.

"The more serious the person, the greater the contrast between his jokes, the better," Leo said, "So, a guy like this, who usually has a cold face, can act without any flaws!" ”

"You say, Alcatel ......" I suddenly understood.
