In the evening, Angel took Qili back in the original carriage.

The wheels gurgled and turned, and the carriage jolted up and down.

Sitting in the carriage, Qili's face was already difficult to see. Angel on the side acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and was still thinking about something.

"Don't you have anything to tell me?" asked Qili angrily.

"What did you say?" Angel turned his face sideways.

"Where have you been? I made an appointment to come over with you, but you didn't know where you went. Let me wait there alone. Don't you have any plans to tell me?"

"I walked for a while, I thought the scenery was not bad, and I looked at it for a while. Any questions?"

"Seen the scenery for five hours?"

"Yes. Angel nodded.

Qili turned her head away, her face puffing out.

Angel also turned his face sideways to look out the window.

The devil whispered, "I think you should coax her." After all, if there's anything out of the ordinary, you'll have to let her prove your alibi. Isn't that what I brought her here for?"

After thinking about it, Angel had to hold up a smile and say to Qili: "What you make is so delicious." ”

"Really?" Qili gave him a cold look.

"It's delicious, I've eaten it all, haven't I?"

"But you've been missing for five hours. I said I was going to come to the greenhouse, but I was the only one sitting there. ”

"Hmm......" Hesitating, Angel said, "Actually...... I've never been out on a tour, let alone with a girl. That's why it's ...... to walk and walk You know I'm particularly bad at that. I'm sorry. Wouldn't that be weird?"

Qili blinked and looked at Angel for a long moment before nodding.

"Sorry, first time. Angel pretended to be embarrassed and shook his head helplessly: "You have to help me keep it a secret." ”

"Who else can I tell about this? Qili sighed helplessly, looked at Angel, thought about it, and laughed again: "At least we can experience a lot of 'firsts' together, which is a good thing." ”

"Oh my God, there are people who believe such a terrible lie. The devil helplessly held his forehead: "I suggest that you can 'use' her more in the future." After all, there are really not many people who are so stupid. And Moshalili, don't waste it either. ”

As the sun sets, the carriage continues to gurgle along the long cobblestone path in the direction of the sacred tree.

......

In the dim light of the fire, the miners were still digging hard, peeling away each piece of soil little by little.

One of the miners was a sagile centaur of a certain age, bearded, but still muscular. With a slightly trembling hand, he carefully peeled out a crystal clear Modo Ore rough from the mud, and then carefully placed it with several other Modo Ore Rough Stones in the iron basin on the side.

Bending down, he continued to search the dirt again.

Under the firelight, the rough stone he had just put in emitted an imperceptible black light, fleeting, and no one noticed it.

......

After returning to the Academy of Magic, Angel went about his life again. Shuttle back and forth between the library and the lab every day, with an occasional trip to the administration building.

Still obsessed with magic, little by little, trying to improve his magic and knowledge.

"Now that the mission has been accomplished, why don't you summon him and ask him for a reward?" asked the devil.

"I want to wait for him to come to me. If what I'm doing really works, he'll definitely come to me. Looking at the devil, Angel exhaled slowly and replied expressionlessly: "I think he is perfunctory to me at all, maybe it's just a temptation, maybe it's really contemptible." I could feel it from what he gave me. I was given a total of 10 milliliters of potion. However, we have tested that it takes at least one milliliter to completely render a Modo ore completely ineffective. What does this mean? All the potions can only disable ten Modo ores. At the current price, 10 Moduo ore will only cost 10,000 silver shells on the black market. Do you know what that means?"

"Hmm......" The devil looked at him, frowned, pouted, and did not answer.

Taking a deep breath, Angel said, "In other words, I spent 10,000 silver shells to buy 10 Modo ores on the black market and brought them back to be hammered, just like I took the risk of doing this." ”

The devil still didn't speak, just looked at Angel quietly.

"So, wait. I've got to find a way to change something, otherwise becoming an emissary will be a burden to me, and nothing good will come to me. I don't need those little favors that don't work at all. After saying that, Angel lowered his head and continued to busy his experiments again.

Time passed day by day, and Angel did not summon the Toad Demon, and the Toad Demon did not seek him. It's as if he never became an envoy of hell.

However, one day more than a month later......

......

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the door to Consul Cornelia's office was pushed open. The force can almost be described as crashing away.

Cornelia hurried in.

Daliana, who was sitting in the room early, quickly stood up, stunned.

With a "bang", Cornelia placed an iron plate containing a dozen or so Modo ores in her hand on her desk.

"What's wrong, my lord?" asked Daliana, frowning.

After closing her eyes and relieving for a while, Cornelia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is a problem with the quality." There was a problem with the quality of one batch of Modo ore. ”

Daliana hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and picked up one of the ores, and slowly injected magic into it. Soon, the ore lit up with a blue light.

"No problem......"

"That's when you feel okay now, and if you keep testing, you'll find out the problem very quickly. ”

"What do you mean?" said Daliana, stunned.

"It's ......," Cornelia said with a dejected expression, "That is, there is a possibility that these ores will fail." It's just possible, not necessarily invalid. And you have absolutely no idea when exactly they will fail. There is even the possibility of exploding. You know, these are all used to make weapons. If it fails at a critical time, or even bursts, injuring the holder, it will be very scary. To thoroughly inspect an ore for a problem, it takes up to a week of non-stop testing. ”

Daliana was stunned for a moment before she whispered, "We've never had this kind of problem before......

"Yes, this is a new problem, and we've never had it before. This batch of ore was only discovered to be problematic after it was sent to Giant Snake City. It took them a long time, tested more than five thousand ores, and finally concluded that only one of the batches of three hundred was problematic. That batch of ore was all produced from a single mine. There are a thousand in total, and not every one of them has problems. The Tower concludes that the ores have been contaminated with some degree of dark power. ”

"Which mining area?" Daliana quickly asked.

"C9 Mine. Cornelia replied.

The C9 mine is the one where Angel went.

......

At this moment, in the hollow of the tree in the development area of the Academy of Magic.

"The whole mine is ruined?"

"Yes. The toad demon smiled and nodded, "You're really doing a good job, can you tell me how to do it?"

Angel didn't answer directly, but lowered his head slightly, half-squinted and thought for a while, before looking up and asking, "Can you tell me more specifics?" ”

Looking at Angel, the toad licked his lips and said with a grin: "Because of instability, the ore produced is very unstable. Unstable, and even dangerous ores, are useless. It takes a lot of manpower to identify them, and it would be better to reopen a mine. Tell me how you did it. ”

"I ......" Angel opened his mouth slightly, thought for a moment, smiled and asked, "Can you tell me what my reward is, and if the effect is so good, should I have a reward?"

Suddenly, the toad demon was stunned. He took a step, walking around Angel step by step. The eyes kept looking Angel up and down.

Angel stood still, motionless. He didn't even take his eyes off the line, he just kept smiling.

Time passed bit by bit, and cold sweat began to break out on Angel's forehead.

In terms of size, the Toad Demon is almost twice as tall as Angel. If you look at the size, the toad demon is at least twenty times the size of Angel.

Being stared at up close by such a behemoth, it is impossible to say that there is no pressure. Not to mention the other party's absolute suppression of himself in terms of magic.

After going around several times, the toad demon asked softly, "Are you bargaining with me?"

"I didn't mean that. Angel replied with a blank face.

"But that's what I saw. I asked you twice how you did it, and your reply was to ask me what the reward was. That's not what a good slave should do. ”

"Really?" Anjar, who was already sweating profusely, smiled with difficulty and said, "I don't know which is better than the magic angel who can get things done but may have a little problem in your eyes, but who is extremely obedient to your orders, or the magic angel who can get things done but may have a little problem?"

The toad demon stopped in front of Angel and looked down at him silently.

Angel's heart was pounding, pounding, and he could even feel the green veins on his forehead.

His eyes widened, and he looked at the toad demon with a smile.

Bringing that ugly face closer to Angel, the toad demon slowly exhaled a foul-smelling breath.

Angel quickly held his breath, but still didn't move. Still insisting on staring at those eyes bigger than his head.

"I love messengers who can do great things. After a while, the toad demon grinned and said, "I don't want the waste demon to give it to me." To tell you the truth, I have eaten five of my subordinates, and there are people of all races. Before I got the news, I thought you hadn't done anything and were about to come over and eat you. Blood elves who have concluded an envoy agreement are not protected by the contract. ”

"And now?" Angel's body couldn't help but tremble a little. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down the bridge of his tall nose little by little.

"Now I've changed my mind. Raising his head again, the toad demon looked at the top of the tree hole, exhaled, and said, "I think you may be a good magician, I can look forward to it a little, and I am not so anxious to eat." Now, tell me, how you did it. ”

"No, I won't tell you in that case. ”

Almost without warning, the Toad Demon struck. The webbed palm pinched Angel's neck and lifted him up: "What did you say?"

A simple question, not a roar, but with a spiritual spell. All of a sudden, Angel felt that the scene in front of him was in a trance.

"Do you want to refuse the master's request?"

Another blow of spiritual spells blasted over. Angel felt like he couldn't breathe, and struggled desperately holding on to the toad demon's hand. However, how could he possibly break free?

"Answer me!"

Angel felt his consciousness begin to blur. He struggled constantly, but still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Finally, just moments before Angel completely lost consciousness, the toad demon threw Angel to the ground and watched him silently.

The fireball hanging in the air jumped slightly, and the light and shadow in the space of the small tree hole were intertwined.

Angel lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Time ticked by.

After a long time, the toad demon half-crouched down and asked softly, "Have you eased up?"

Angel opened his eyes weakly, staring at the toad demon.

"Tell me how you did it, and I'll give you a potion. Glancing at the badge of eighth-level mana on Angel's chest, the toad demon continued, "The potion that can make you instantly ascend to the tenth-level mana may be eleven-level. It depends on how far you've come along. ”

With his eyes a little confused, Angel nodded slightly, and then spoke: "Inject the potion directly into the rhizome." The rhizome of the sacred tree. ”

"Straight into the rhizome?" the toad demon squinted.

"Yes. Modo ore is produced by relying on the Divine Tree, so there must be some connection with the rhizome of the Divine Tree. ”

The Toad Demon looked at Angel suspiciously, "How did you come up with that?"

"I've studied Modo ore. This is a specialty of Logo Shanni, and the information about Modo ore in Hell must not be as rich as the Shenmu Library, right?" Angel lay on the ground, gasping heavily, and continued, "Actually, I'm not sure, I just want to try." Anyway, it's better than just destroying ten Modo ores, right?"

"You infiltrated the mines?"

"Yes. ”

"Yes, that's good information. Some value. This is your level 10 mana. As he spoke, the toad demon held out his hand. A black light flashed, and a black potion quickly appeared in his palm.

Throwing the potion to Angel, the Toad Demon licked his lips and grinned, "Looks like you'd like something a little more challenging." No problem, I'll arrange it for you. ”
