Chapter 9: The Cup of Wishes

Previous Chapter

The inky shadow energy in Aldrich's hands was like the tentacles of a deep-sea octopus, curling up and stretching all the time to explore and prey, as if he was always trying to hold on to something, which made the "Shadow Lord" who was ready to shape the specific form of the wish cup also had a little headache, and couldn't help but scratch his numb scalp.

After all, the shadow energy that Aldrich Tris forcibly grabbed and fused contained too many spiritual imprints of the high-level core members of the "Shattered Mask", as long as these obstructions were not completely cleared for a day, they could not completely belong to the "Shadow Lord".

"It's okay! Shadow energy is just a stepping stone on the road to success for me, and it is more reliable to shape the energy of the Wish Cup out of thin air or extract it from the source of the Eight Virtues Knights!

Aldrich Triss, who had a calm mind with a dispensable idea, tried again, but he didn't know what mechanism he had touched, but he succeeded in one fell swoop.

The floating shadow energy suddenly collapsed in the "ball" that Aldrich Triss held in his hands, and according to the "lord's" mind, it suddenly condensed into an ordinary wine glass the size of a palm.

This is a gray-black crystal texture of the wine glass, like a poor imitation of the family workshop shoddy, from the best quality black gem "Night Fruit" there is a gap of 108,000 miles, rough look no surprise, only poke your head to see the cup coated with gold lacquer, the color is thick like a slow flow of immortal blood, finally a bit of extraordinary items, legendary wonders, epic antiques of a bit of quality.

"I didn't expect it! Shadow Energy Version's Wish Cup, this is it! After starting over, I originally thought that the good side of the machine would be completely cleared...... It seems that luck is like the wind, and it always accompanies me!"

As soon as the Wishing Cup was successfully condensed, under the impetus of Aldrich Tris, it took the initiative to connect with the poor in the slums of the above-ground cities, and built a simple exercise through channels such as "Wishing Well", "Transfer Windmill", "Wishing Pool" and so on.

Such a miraculous scene is like the rise of a new god, connecting all believers through faith and establishing the vascular channel of the covenant between God and man, although for now it is only a thread-like connection.

It didn't take long for Aldrich Tris, who was on the throne, to hear the wish of an ordinary man from the "Wish Cup".

Overwhelmed by a "heavy" debt, bearing more than the burden of his body and mind and his own ability, as the day of repayment gradually approaches, the vegetable vendor who feels that he has no way out.

Aldrich Tris tilted his head back, and heard the man's voice through the magical power of shadow energy: "It's nothing but a debt of twelve gold euros, from a bad cold caused by an unexpected rain, and the money paid for medical treatment, and the money after the profits!

Aldrich Triss scanned the hawker's neighborhood with a myriad of tiny tentacles of pervasive shadow energy, and suddenly found something.

A banker in a private carriage was about to take a shortcut through the slums in order to save time, and he was carrying a wallet that contained more than 500 gold euros in cash alone.

"Even if the owner pays one-tenth of the reward to reward the kindness and kindness of the person who collects the money, the problem of the vegetable vendor will be easily solved. Well, I'll arrange it!"

Thinking of this, the shadow energy that seeped into the ground immediately dragged a small stone on the path of this private carriage according to Aldrich Tris's will.

When the steel wheels covered in cowhide ran over the stones as expected, the private carriage with the crow coat of arms on the outside of the carriage jolted a little, and quickly regained its balance, as Aldrich Triss had foreseen.

The unsuspecting banker jumped up on the spot, and his balm-oiled hair almost hit the roof of the carriage, so he naturally sat down again with trepidation, reaching out and grabbing the armrest on one side.

At this moment, the ubiquitous shadow energy reached out of the tentacles, took the bulging wallet out of the pocket, synchronized with the sound of the wheels hitting the ground, and used the crisp sound of the steel ring hitting the ground to cover up the muffled sound of the wallet falling on the carriage, and dragged it outside, directly to the ground, quietly waiting for the hawker to find out, and the banker to come back to his senses to "find".

The use of shadow energy is entirely at the mercy of Aldrich Triss, who even hints and guides the vegetable vendor after he has made his wish.

After leaving the "wishing well" in the ghetto, the indebted peddler walked "aimlessly" through the streets, walking to the key spot where Aldrich Triss would have been.

The Shadow Lord quietly dismisses the hint, freeing the person from its "sleepwalking" state. As Aldrich Triss expected, the vegetable vendor regained his senses and soon found his wallet lying on the ground.

At first, the desperate debtor rubbed his eyes in disbelief, opened his eyes again, and found that he was not dazzled, and was still worried about whether it would be the trap of "picking up gold and dividing equally" that has prevailed recently.

The peddler first walked a few steps vigilantly and carefully, his face pale as if a thief who had been a thief for the first time was about to attack, and when he found that there was really no one near him or right, he suddenly became bold and walked forward quickly.

As the distance increased, the peddler's steps widened, and his mouth and nose involuntarily thickened because of his excitement, and even his pale face was flushed with restlessness.

When he arrived at the place where the purse was, Aldrich Triss observed the peddler stop abruptly, looked around with great vigilance, and found nothing unusual, then bent down sharply, pretending to arrange his shoes, and then pressed the purse down and stuffed it into his arms desperately, quickly catching up with the "thief" in the golden finger.

The "Shadow Lord" couldn't help but grin lightly as he continued to watch the vegetable vendor's next move, and maintained the right to intervene at any time through the ubiquitous shadow energy.

Under the cover of night, on the deserted street, an ordinary citizen whose backbone was almost crushed by the cruel and ruthless life silently walked under the nearby street lamp, and with the help of the dimly lit kerosene lamp, he saw the crow coat of arms on the outside of his wallet, and suddenly understood in his heart, and then began to carefully count the cash in his wallet.

Fifty gold banknotes with the seal of the lord, large cash denominations of ten gold euro yards, and a number of odd coins and small denominations of cash.

"Take all the cash, throw away this wallet, and pretend that nothing happened, and I can pay off all my debts and even live the life of a rich man......"

Aldrich Triss observed that the peddler could not resist the temptation of money and then imagined the complicated emotions, and unhurriedly used the shadow energy to hint at him, and began to instill the idea that collecting money is equivalent to embezzling other people's property, which is equivalent to a crime, and then diverged to the night watchman's search, shackles, torture interrogation, black prison cell, etc., and finally pulled his conscience back.

"With such a large amount of cash, the owner will definitely be in a hurry. I'd better wait where I am, hoping that the original owner who found the lost item was a generous and decent person, and would give me a little reward. ”

The peddler who found his conscience stood firm, and returned to the scene of the lost property with his wallet, and the figure of the cocoon standing alone was stretched by the dim light of the street lamp, but there was an inexplicable courage to encourage him to stand at the scene.

The cautious banker soon realized that the wallet was lost, and the private carriage quickly turned around and returned the way it came. The steel wheels ran over the gravel road and made a rhythmless creeping sound, but it did not disturb the mood of the owner.

It didn't take long for the coachman to find the vegetable vendor on the road in the slum, the lonely figure was unusually tall, and after looking around, he immediately understood that this was the area where the "accident" had occurred, and immediately tightened the reins and stopped the private carriage.

"Lord Wayne, I've spotted a civilian who may have picked up a lost item, and I'm ready to go and negotiate. ”

The banker in the carriage snorted and admonished, "Anything can happen, be careful!

"Ah Fu", who was the butler and coachman, immediately responded respectfully, got out of the car in a hurry, put down the brake pillar with his hand, and then walked towards the civilians who were suspected of being gold pickers.

The vegetable vendor looked up at the coat of arms on the outside of the private carriage, corresponding to the crow on the surface of the wallet, and probably understood that the owner was coming, but he still cautiously inquired about the belongings inside.

Ah Fu knew this well, and immediately opened his mouth to report: "Above five hundred gold euro yards, below five hundred and twenty gold euro yards, and odd coins are included." ”

Knowing that this was the case, the vegetable vendor had no reason to refuse to return the lost property, so he handed over the crow's coat of arms with both hands.

"Ah Fu" stretched out his hand to take it, counted it in front of the gold collectors, and found that there was a lot of money, and then he glanced at the vegetable vendor very unexpectedly, and then took out one-tenth of the cash, that is, five ten gold euro yards of cash, and handed it back to the gold collectors.

"Thank you for your kindness, forgive Lord Wayne the loss of property, and according to the customary rules, the tenth of the wallet is used as a reward to reward a kind gentleman like you, and encourage more good things to happen. ”

The vegetable vendor stretched out his hand to accept the reward with a clear conscience, which was full of fifty gold euros in cash, and his heart was immediately filled with joy, and he bowed deeply as a thanksgiving.

Ah Fu glanced at it, and was very satisfied with the other party's performance, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help, showing a smile that met the expectations of society, and then turned away, returned to his position, pulled up the brake column, and turned around and left.

Aldrich Triss was very satisfied, he reaped a little brilliance from the wish cup, and after a little touch, he found that it was a deep and sincere gratitude, and on closer inspection, it was not surprising that it came from the vegetable seller.

"Strangely, the essence of this light is not the power of faith, but the light of the heart similar to merit!"
