Chapter 15: Friends and Enemies?
"There is no need to talk about the past anymore. Copernicus snorted, "I'm not a bad person but I'm not a good person either, studying the Black Death is just because of interest, saving people or something is just incidental, speaking of which, your little boyfriend is more powerful, and he overturned the council alone, which is unprecedented in the history of magic, but I don't know what Steines is thinking now." ”
The old man had a gloating expression, what happened back then made him have a bad relationship with Leonardo da Vinci and Stannes and others, Rob is a disciple of Steins, he naturally won't have a good face, if he wasn't worried about not being able to beat the other party, he would have started to drive people away, but after saying this, Copernicus also made up his mind not to speak, picked up the hoe, and continued to hoe his small field, this gesture clearly didn't want to pay attention to the two anymore.
However, His Excellency the future Ultra Magister did not leave, and said in a deep voice, "I have read your research codex back then, and there is no problem with the general idea and direction, but two mistakes were made in the process, which led to the failure of your final research. ”
Copernicus's hoe stopped in mid-air, Rob didn't guess wrong, the old man obviously still cared about his research, otherwise it would be impossible to violate Roland's ban to conduct human experiments in private, and it could be seen that he still cared about the sentence that Rob threw out just now.
But after a moment of silence, Copernicus finally said, "The Black Death is gone, and my research is not important, so please get out of here if you have no other questions." ”
"If you are willing to help this time, the Breton family will definitely repay you with a generous gift. Luo Luo looked into the old man's eyes, "You can make an offer." ”
"Hehe, with your current situation, you can't protect yourself, what if I make an offer?" Copernicus sneered.
"This is a promise I make to you on behalf of my family, and as long as there is one living member of the Breton family, I will do everything in my power to fulfill this promise. Luo Luo said solemnly.
"Then I want to do human experiments, can you agree?" the old man said coldly, "It doesn't take much, just send ten people a month, the northern border is so big, there are many death row prisoners in the dungeons of each city, instead of letting you kill them and waste them, it is better for me to study plagues and diseases, once my research is successful, I can still save a lot of people, no matter how you look at it, you will not lose." ”
"Sorry, can you change to another request?"
"Why, your Bretton family, as the rulers of the north, won't this account be counted, if I'm not mistaken, you not only want me to make a move, but also want me to help you contact other hidden masters in the north, you are already desperate, if I don't make a move, all the civilians in the north will be a dead end, in other words, I just want you to use the lives of a few death row prisoners to change the life of the remaining nearly a million people, such a choice is not so difficult, isn't it?"
Luo Luo shook his head, "If I promise you, then what's the difference between us and the church?"
"Very well, then you can watch the North fall. The old man sneered, and before he could finish speaking, he saw Rob untie the starfall from his waist and throw it over.
Copernicus was a little inexplicable, as a former member of the council, his eyesight was very good, he had long seen that this sword was very precious on someone, and now he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his hand, Copernicus found that the elemental affinity of this sword was very good, and it didn't affect the casting, he saw such a strange long sword for the first time, but after the initial surprise, the old man also reacted, the effect of this sword is actually quite chicken, most of the magicians are weak, even if it is added to a sword that does not affect the casting of spells, it is meaningless, not to mention that the material of this sword is very precious, it is also very difficult to build, it cannot be mass-produced, and the collection value is more important than the actual combat value。
However, as his gaze moved down, Copernicus saw the small letter C on the hilt of his sword, and his pupils contracted suddenly, "Is this a new work by Constantine?
Rob's answer to this was simple, "Senior Copernicus, you help us solve this crisis in the north, and I will tell you everything I know about Constantine's seniors." ”
This time, Copernicus's attitude seemed to have changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and he didn't hesitate for too long before agreeing, the old man nodded and said simply, "Okay, I will help you gather people, and don't forget to fulfill your promise when the matter is over." With that, he took out another crystal ball from the cabin, "You can use this crystal ball to keep in touch during this time." ”
Rob accepted the crystal ball and added, "Those monsters are expected to invade the North in less than two days, please gather your men as soon as possible, and we will meet in the Wizards' Guild in Frenza in two days, so be sure to rush to the battlefield before the defenders of the North are completely defeated." ”
The latter waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
Until she left the Grey Mist Forest and saw the nearby villages, Lolo was still a little incredulous, she couldn't understand why Rob's attitude changed so quickly after Rob showed Copernicus the stars.
"Could it be that Constantine's predecessors saved the lives of Copernicus seniors many years ago?" the girl guessed.
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister went to the village to rent two horses, and rode on them Rob smiled bitterly, "If it were that simple, I would have shown the sword to that guy as soon as I entered, and it would have saved us the trouble of talking, but in fact, on the contrary, Constantine and Copernicus were enemies." ”
"Ah, enemy?" Luo Luo was stunned.
"Constantine's wife was Copernicus's fiancée, the two families are worldly friends, the relationship is very good, so they got engaged early, Copernicus liked the girl very much, in order to get married early and ended his studies early, rushed back from the field, only to return home only to find that his fiancée had fled, and the person who abducted her was Constantine. ”
Rob grabbed the reins in one hand," Copernicus was angry and asked for someone from Constantine, but at that time, Constantine's fame had spread all over the Dawn Continent, he had many followers, and Copernicus was only a fifth-order magician at that time, he couldn't beat those followers around the former, and his fiancée was unwilling to go back with him, Copernicus was angry and vomited blood, angry and angry, and passed out directly, or Constantine found someone to send him home, and the two sides became enemies because of this, Copernicus always wanted to kill Constantine, but Constantine had disappeared before he was promoted to the eighth order and became a member of the council, but Copernicus has not given up looking for his whereabouts over the years, not to save him, but for revenge. ”
"Then you just promised to tell the Copernicus seniors about the Konstantin seniors, are you planning to lie to him?"
"No, I will tell Copernicus everything I know as agreed, Ogilage is heavily guarded, and Clowell is in charge, even if Copernicus knows where Constantine is, there is a high probability that he will not be able to help the other party, in addition to this, I will write a letter to Clowell to remind him. ”
