Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wise Dwarf
"Dougla...."Ron was slightly stunned when he heard the dwarf introduce himself.
He had heard the glasses dwarf call the servant dwarf 'Purr', and he thought that the glasses dwarf was also called 'Gollum' and 'Hello', but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Rigal?" Ron muttered, isn't that the name of this training ground?
"That's the Poison Lord's last name. Douglas said.
"Do you think I'm like some of the minions?" said Douglas, looking at Ron.
Ron looked directly at Douglas and motioned for him to continue.
"Yes too.... After all, you don't know much about our social system..."After a pause, Douglas continued: "We dwarf demons are the subordinates and auxiliaries of the great Abyss Demon Race. We dwarves are divided into two groups, the Servant Dwarves and the Wisdom Dwarves. ”
"I'm a wise dwarf who graduated from Deirla Academy. The only will of the dwarf is to serve the great demons of the abyss, whether they are servant dwarves or wise dwarves. I used to be the chief manager of Rigal's magic tower, and I followed the great poison lord to conquer the endless world..."The more he said the latter, Dougra's face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes were unfocused, as if he was caught in that long, glorious memory.
"But that's all in the past....." Seeing that Dougla was getting more and more excited, Ron said calmly, knocking Douglas back to reality.
"......" Douglas fell silent for a moment, and the flush of excitement on his face slowly receded.
"yes... It's all in the past. Douglas said hoarsely.
"Let's talk about our deal!" Ron took the initiative to get to the point.
However, when Ron said this, a ray of light flashed in Dougla's dark eyes, and the light instantly dispelled the lonely temperament on Dougera's body.
"Yes, the past is gone, but we still have a future to look forward to. Douglas said slowly.
"Perhaps I shouldn't use the word 'transaction' to describe our collaboration. Douglas said suddenly.
Ron frowned, he didn't know what Douglas was trying to say.
"You can be outspoken. Ron said.
"Well, as I said last time, I can give you a chance to break through the 'first level', and I want you to choose to participate in the 'Half-Blood King' competition after breaking through the 'first level' after going to the Cordia Volcano. ”
"I don't understand. Ron shook his head and said he didn't understand.
"I'll explain it to you. Douglas said.
"Rigal is a training ground for the poisonous lord, and those who break through the 'first level' within ten years are qualified soldiers, and those who do not break through can only be mixed in the abyss monsters to form cannon fodder troops, the former is a soldier, but the latter is just a slave. ”
"Half-blood demons who break through the 'first level' within ten years will be taken to the entrance to the Poison Lord's barracks, and you have two options after reaching the Cordia Volcano.
One is to directly join the Poison Lord's legion, become an ordinary soldier, and then climb up step by step. The second is to choose to participate in the 'Half-Blood King' competition, which is a one-step choice.
The Half-Blood King is a competition jointly organized by three Half-Blood Lords to select a Half-Blood Demon with great potential. The demons who win the title of Half-Blood King will have extremely rich rewards, and they don't have to start from the lowest-level soldiers to join the legion.
And among the many rewards, one is to pick a Wisdom Dwarf Helper, and I want you to choose me as your Helper. At this point, Douglas finished looking at Ron.
.........
After a moment of silence, Ron thought he understood what Douglas meant.
From his previous words, it can be guessed that he used to be brilliant, but for some reason he is now 'retired', but he is not willing to retire, he feels that he is not old, and he wants to regain his glory through Ron.
"How can you be sure that I can claim the title of 'King of Half-Bloods'. Ron said.
"I'm not sure, I'm just betting!" Douglas said.
Ron was stunned for a moment, and said that people are old and good, and this sentence seems to be applicable to dwarf devils as well.
"I'm not the first person you're working with, am I?" Ron said.
This old guy didn't say that if he didn't win the title of 'King of Half-Bloods', he would also be chosen if he had the opportunity to choose the 'Wisdom Dwarf' to assist him in the future, proving that this old guy's vision is not low. felt that only the demon who won the title of 'King of Half-Bloods' could bring him back to glory.
"You're the third!" Douglas said, nodding.
"The first two failed?"
"Yes!"
"What percentage of the chance you are talking about breaking through 'level one'?" Ron said.
After a pause, Douglas said: "Seventy percent! You can rest assured that if you can't break through, you won't be able to participate in the competition, and our cooperation will be impossible, so even if it's for myself, I will try my best to increase your chances of breaking through." ”
"That's right. Ron nodded.
"Okay, I agreed. Ron said.
Douglas nodded and said, "But before I do that, I think there's one more thing I want to tell you, I don't want you to think I've cheated you." ”
"You say!" Ron said.
"The natural lifespan of a dwarf is about one hundred and twenty years, and the lifespan of a wise dwarf may be a little longer, but it will not exceed one hundred and fifty years, and I am now one hundred and six years old, which means that I may only have a lifespan of more than ten years. ”
"But my knowledge and experience are not comparable to those intelligent dwarves who have just graduated from the academy. After a pause, Dougla added.
"And, with access to a certain resource, I can extend my life. Then I will be able to continue to serve you. At that time, I will use my wisdom to prove to you that I am worthy of the resources you exchanged for me to prolong my life. ”
Looking at the dwarf devil's serious appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of Ron's mouth.
"I see. Even if you die the next day, I will admit it. Ron said with a smile.
"That's good!" the dwarf nodded.
"Then that's how our cooperation works. Ron said.
"Sign a contract!" the dwarf pulled out a dark yellow scroll of animal skin from the drawer of his desk, with something written on it in demonic language.
"Another contract?" Ron rubbed his brow, picking up the scroll anyway.
The scroll shows Douglas Rigal helping him break through 'Level 1', and he promises to choose Douglas when choosing the Wisdom Dwarf Help.
After looking at it twice and making sure there were no traps, Ron picked up the quill on the table and signed his name.
"It's just an ordinary contract, and it's not bound by special powers, but if you break the contract, I just need to send the contract to the Poison Lord......."
