Chapter 178: Perkins
"Intermediate magician?" the two guards looked at each other and smiled, and said with a little disdain, "I thought it would be something, the little intermediate magician also wants to go up to the fifth floor." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoGo back and advance to the magician, come back again, the little white face that hasn't grown all the hair. ”
The two guards laughed, completely ignoring Fang Zhen's identity as a magician.
Fang Zhen's mood instantly became worse at this moment, and his face was gloomy and a little dark.
Since entering Samikina Academy, Fang Zhen has always been highly respected, not to mention his strength, and his pride as the chief student can be described as full. And in front of these two big and rough guards, they were not put into the eyes at all.
But after thinking about it, Fang Zhen felt that he was indeed a little conceited.
The land of Baimeng is very large, oh no, it is very large, and the things are very rich. There are countless strong people, there are many elites, and the level of magic technology is very high-end, even if the magicians are all human elites, but on the basis of billions of people, there are many magicians. In Yudu, a big city of commerce and trade in the Aslan Empire, a small middle-level magician is indeed nothing.
If a cultivator wants to have a higher status, he can only use his strength to fight for it.
In the past, Fang Zhen didn't have much pursuit of his own strength, he just wanted to take risks around, find answers, and explore the truth, so he didn't have high requirements for his own strength, after all, as an adventurer, he needed strong comprehensive ability, and all abilities were balanced.
And now, suddenly, Fang Zhen had a desire for strength, because that meant a high enough status.
Fang Zhen took out dozens of gold coins, and just as he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by a strong man from the doorman.
"Don't try to bribe us, boy! There's magic monitoring here, and your every move is under surveillance. If you want to bribe us, you have to ask the gods. Hahaha!"
Obviously, Fang Zhen's intentions were once again ridiculed by the two guards.
Fang Zhen's face turned ugly again, and said, "What the hell are you willing to let me in." ”
"Go back! At your current level, you're not qualified. Unless someone is willing to take you in. The doorman said arrogantly, clasping his hands.
But as soon as the words fell, a magnetic female voice sounded behind Fang Zhen.
"What if I take him in?"
Hearing this, the two guards hurriedly looked at each other, and their faces changed. flattered and flattered: "Of course you can, you can do it at any time, who dares to stand in your way!"
After speaking, the two doormen immediately gave way to the position of the only entrance and exit on the fifth floor.
Fang Zhen had just heard such a magnetic female voice, but he didn't expect to catch up so quickly.
"Thank you again, beautiful lady Refel! Fang Zhen bowed and deliberately lowered his head, obviously to show Reyfil's high status, but secretly he didn't want to see the maddening scum.
"Since I'm so good, why don't you look up at me?" Rayfair, the red-haired girl who walked over with a catwalk, looked at Fang Zhen teasingly.
"Uh...... Isn't this to make the space you walk through wider? ”
Fang Zhen's ability to deceive people is very good, but this embarrassing situation makes him the most uncomfortable, because he is a little flustered, and he can't say how panicked he is.
"So, do you want to go in with me, little handsome guy?"
Rayfair's sexy red lips moved lightly, evoking a seductive smile, and the two strong men swallowed their saliva at the sight of the two strong men.
"Huh?!this, this, this......"
Since coming to another world, Fang Zhen has been teased by a sexy beauty for the first time, and it is normal to be uncomfortable, but such a naked hint still makes him stutter in his heart.
Seeing the panicked appearance of the young man in front of him, Rayfil smiled coquettishly, ignored everyone, and walked into the fifth floor.
When Rayfil walked away, Fang Zhen let out a long breath. At the same time, there were also the two doormen.
"Lord Rayfair is so pretty, it's just ......," said the doorman, and smiled wryly at the other one.
Only then did Fang Zhen straighten out his expression that was a little out of shape, and he didn't care about the two doormen, and walked into the fifth floor. And the doorman stopped him no more. Instead, he looked at Fang Zhen's back and smiled thoughtfully.
"Oh my God, you two scumbags, don't get me wrong, I'm having a leg with the tricky Reyfair, otherwise I can't help but turn around and kick you away!" Fang Zhen naturally felt the gaze behind him, and said viciously in his heart.
The fifth floor of the 23rd Exchange was as vast as a large shopping mall, and Fang Zhen searched for a long time before finding the office of the director of the exchange. It stands to reason that it's time to rest, but strangely, this supervisor, named Corey, is still working overtime in the office.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!" Fang Zhen habitually knocked on the door, but after knocking, he found a small magic rune on the door, knowing that it was a magic circuit device similar to a doorbell. As soon as I tried to press it, the door opened.
"Come in, lad. An old, hoarse voice came from inside the door.
Walking in a little restrainedly, Fang Zhen found that this office was very simple, very large and bright, and the magic lamp was very bright.
The door closes automatically, and it appears to be a high-end magic control device.
Fang Zhen saw that behind the huge desk, there was a fat and very old man sitting on his back, with his eyes lowered and his eyes sunken, and he could barely see his eyes.
But Fang Zhen could feel the light in those eyes, it seemed that this old man was not simple.
"Say what you mean, and if you don't have much business to do, get out of here at once. ”
The hoarse and old voice was a little indifferent, perhaps the majesty that he had cultivated as a supervisor for many years.
"Are you Corey?, the head of the exchange?" Although Fang Zhen wanted to ask for clues immediately, he still confirmed first.
"Young man, I don't have that much time to spend with you. I don't know what the doorman was eating. The obese old man frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"You... Is it called Perkins? Do you know Cell?"
The obese old man's eyes widened instantly, the different color in his eyes was obvious, and his hoarse voice suddenly became low.
"Who the hell are you?"
There is no doubt that this fat old man is Perkins, who helped Hanston and Diro's grandfather --- the old hunter Chell to escape from the rain capital.
Feeling the looming hostility on the other side, Fang Zhen had an idea and said:
"Don't be nervous, Lord Perkins. Smiling slightly, Fang Zhen took out the Holy Snake Alliance Order, which he hadn't used for a long time, and continued: "Our Lord Minoan just wants to investigate, there is no other meaning. ”
After saying that, Fang Zhen himself was also worried, this kind of blindness is really not very sure, but it is a trick in deception, and the success rate is not high.
Unexpectedly, Perkins suddenly fell silent, and he lowered his head for a long time without saying a word.
Although Fang Zhen was apprehensive, his acting skills were excellent, and he had already pretended to be calm and sat on the chair with a smile on his face.
Finally Perkins looked up, sighed slightly, then stood up and walked to the wine cabinet, as if pouring himself a glass of wine.
I only heard him say as he walked: "Since Young Master Mino knows, why bother to investigate? With the intelligence strength of the Holy Snake Alliance, the matter of the ruins of the Yudu Palace was discovered many years ago, and I, an ordinary person without any strength, can have any secrets worthy of being asked by Young Master Mino!"
His hoarse and deep voice made Fang Zhen feel a feeling of depression.
Hearing this, Fang Zhen was shocked. I didn't expect that a soon-to-be-forgotten Holy Snake Alliance Decree would lead to so much information.
But Fang Zhen still had to stay calm, trying not to let Perkins touch his eyes, for fear of revealing flaws.
After straightening out his thoughts, Fang Zhen said: "More than ten years ago, the old hunter Chel was said to be your friend, who was he hunted down and killed, and what did he get from the ruins? I don't know Your Excellency Perkins, can you tell me in detail, I can give Master Minoan an explanation." Oh, by the way, Mistress Minoan has been to Thundering Manor lately, and if Lord Perkins is willing to tell the truth, I think Mistress Minoan will give him Molicre in return. ”
Because Fang Zhen saw Perkins' wine cabinet, which was full of all kinds of wine, and also saw a bottle of Molicre. I can't help but continue to make up lies.
Sure enough, hearing this, Perkins didn't complain anymore, and said slowly: "It sounds like yesterday! Back then, as the elite of the moon-level hunters, Chel had many years of experience, and many hunting expedition teams would hire him as a guide, although Chel's strength was only an intermediate warrior, but his comprehensive ability as a hunter was extremely good, and he even used traps and stratagems to make five seventh-order demonic beasts fight each other, four dead and one seriously injured. At that time, it shocked the entire Yudu, and it was precisely because of this that a mysterious team found him. ”
Perkins took the wine glass, sat back in the chair, and handed Fang Zhen a glass.
Fang Zhen picked up the wine glass and smelled it, the wine exuded the aroma of grass and fruit, with his knowledge as an amateur drunkard, he still couldn't recognize what kind of wine it was.
"This is the Kalia wine, brought from the northern continent. Your Holy Snake Alliance is always so cautious. Perkins rolled his eyes when he saw Fang Zhen's actions.
"If you're not careful, it's easy to be picked up and stabbed to death. Fang Zhen tilted the corners of his mouth and smiled, pretending to be mysterious.
And Perkins on the other side happens to eat this set, the more mysterious and puzzling it is, the more Perkins is jealous.
"That team, which has never been heard of, according to Cell, is very strong and cooperative, without any quarrels, so to speak, this is a professional team with special intentions. Although Chel didn't want to be hired by them at first, he was too well paid, so he agreed to be a forest guide and go deep into the Rain Curtain Forest, which is said to be in some ruins. ”
After a pause, Perkins took another sip of fruit wine and recalled: "This is a month. When Chel returned, he was blind and his left hand was gone. He looked very anxious at that time and begged me for help to get him and his family out of Yudu. You must know that although there are various means of transportation in the rain capital, only the elemental teleportation array is the fastest way, but the teleportation array is jointly run by the Magic Association, the Warrior Association and the Empire, and the cost is high, although he can send someone to send them there secretly, but just so, whether he can use the teleportation array or not, he still has to rely on himself. At the time, I was worried about whether he would be able to afford the teleportation, but he handed me a gem. ”
Speaking of this, Perkins fell silent, as if deliberating.
"A gem, a gem that can be returned to you at that time, is it an elemental gem? This is a rare thing!" Fang Zhen couldn't help but guess.
Perkins glanced at Fang Zhen, and didn't know what to see, and said: "It's not an elemental gem, but an ordinary ruby engraved with the ancient runes of the Four Elements Church, the ruby is not worth many gold coins, but the rune engraved on it shocked me for a while!"
Ancient runes of the Church of the Four Elements?
Fang Zhen searched hard for the historical documents he had read.
The so-called ancient runes must have a history of more than 1,000 years. Because although the development of magic is not changing with each passing day, after years of continuous precipitation and change, it will still eliminate a lot of old and useless information. And the runes of the four elements, or appear in the Rain Curtain Forest, what does this represent?
Fang Zhen vaguely grasped something, but he still didn't think of anything.
"It seems that it is normal that you don't know this information. At that time, Chell sold me the rubies to cover the cost of teleportation. I agreed, and ordered them to be sent away. Then, the mysterious team still found me, but I didn't expect that the team was left with the leader, which is really shocking! In the depths of the Rain Curtain Forest, what danger can make the extremely strong team be wiped out?" Speaking of this, Perkins glanced at Fang Zhen again, as if observing the change in his expression.
And Fang Zhen held the wine glass and lowered his head, thinking. Not caring at all about Perkins' gaze.
"At the time, Chelle didn't want to say more, and I didn't know what was going on. I only know that after the leader returns, he will go to your Holy Snake Alliance to issue a bounty and hunt down Chel. What happened to me, I never heard from it again. ”
After that, there was silence.
