Chapter 61: Temptation
Today, the sun is still shining in Norf, but the clouds on the horizon are a little different.
When Rimge was working lately, every time he looked up, the dark shadow would always sway with the wind, shaking off the snow on the hay of the previous night.
His eyebrows were furrowed, and the attentive old man noticed something bad that had made him feel badβhe found that every time he turned around, he could see the Master Mage standing by the outpost in the distance watching them work, and the inextricable gaze made the old man feel uneasy.
Does he think we're doing a bad job?
Does he think that some of us are not diligent enough and often lazy?
Or did he think that there were people among the guards who were stealing food?
In short, although Rimge could not understand the reason why the mage was standing there silently supervising the work, he still deliberately raised his voice as he walked, trying to make every worker move completely, so as not to really let the mage find fault, and at that time, he did not want to be labeled as a poor supervisor and transferred back to Fedenberg by the earl.
Not only is it the damage to his salary, but Rimge is more concerned about his image in front of the earl, if he can't even do this little thing, he won't have the face to fight for his son as the next grand duke.
......
"Combat Effectiveness 2, Combat Effectiveness 4, Combat Effectiveness 1......"
Alexei rolled his eyes and looked to the other side: "Combat power 0.3, combat power 2, combat power 1.5......"
"It's not very reliable. β
Alexey communicated with Corsean in his mind: "Although the rune items made by the lizardmen are very interesting, the comprehensive combat power displayed above does not take into account the existence of magic at all, and I can't really use it to identify the mages in the crowd. β
"But you can at least find the Assassin hiding in the bushes. Corsian deliberately used an exaggerated tone to show that this frame is not useless, "Thermal imaging is invincible in the world!"
"Well, that's good. β
Although he was deliberately looking for flaws and loopholes in the frame, recalling the memories of hiding behind the pillar and preparing to sneak attack, Alexei nodded with palpitations, and agreed with the function of thermal imaging: "Indeed, although I don't know what the principle of thermal imaging in your mouth is, the lizardman did rely on this light curtain to launch a precise attack on me. β
"And. Alexei raised his hand and pressed the button at the end of the frame, and the field of vision within the light curtain was quickly narrowed, and then refined according to the last person who stayed on his gaze, and his body was immediately filled with flowing data, turning into a translucent thread body, which contained various organs and circulating blood flow, "Is this true?"
"Of course, while the techniques of the Lizardmen living in the Lost World can't help you understand the nature of magic and the elements, they are experts at the physical body. β
"Interesting. Alex took off the frame, and after a short half-day of study, a thousand daily words were enough for him to understand most of the content of the data flow in the light curtain of the frame, "I still have to thank you for your help, with it, I can save a lot of effort in the next experiment." β
"Still. Alexei continued, "I'm not interested in lizard language for the time being, you can teach me the rest when I'm interested." β
"Are you trying to pay the bill?" Corcian's tone instantly became dangerous.
"No, I'm just delaying our lessons. Alexei waved his hand and tucked the frame into his pocket, "The deal won't be complete until you've taught me." As for the remuneration, it is natural to wait until it is completed before settling it. β
"But I can't wait that long!"
"I won't stop you if you want to go back. Alexei laughed, "That's your freedom." β
"Well, you'll have the day to beg me, the sinister and cunning mage. β
With Corsean returning to silence, Alexey put an end to his unpleasant conversation with Black Snake for the time being.
The mage raised his hand and looked at the black snake on his wrist in the sunlight, which had become its present form after wrapping around him, hard as metal rather than the flesh of a creature.
He wouldn't believe Corsean's nonsense.
If, as Corsean said, he was the same as Ryan and Islindi, and he didn't need to talk to stupid and troublesome mortals. If Alexei wants to accomplish something, he can completely turn the other party's mess around, like a puppet in the palm of his hand, even if he can't directly use violent means against the target under certain conditions, he doesn't need to make a contract with the other party that is obviously unfavorable to him.
Corsean is so stupid.......
This is not a good thing. Alexei is a self-aware man, just a temptation, and the previous one was also a temptation. He would not be complacent because he had taken a small advantage from Corsean, and the other party's tolerant attitude made him feel that the water was bottomless.
What the hell is it up to? this monster that won't leave me.......
Alexei put away his ramblings that had gone to the sky, turned and walked into the outpost.
Through the door, he leaned down to listen. There was a slight sound in the room, and Lan Meng was teaching the Englaine Kingdom script at the request of the previous promise, and Alexei listened for a while, then arched his fingers and knocked lightly.
"Alexey. β
She looked unhappy with the visitor, and after the battle of the Void Mirror, her face no longer deliberately concealed her dislike for the mage. Because Lan Meng understood that the previous plan to show weakness had been completely bankrupt, she did win some opportunities through some means, Alexei relaxed and relaxed his vigilance against her, which made Lan Meng successfully escape with the help of Gasley, but immediately, reality taught the girl what it means to be cruel.
Now, Blue Dream really has nothing but the identity of a princess.
She lost her hole cards, and she took off her disguise mask as well.
"I want to kill you!" This is the naked emotion in her eyes, full of emotion, so that Alexei has no doubt that if there is a chance, the other party will rush up like a shark smelling blood, and stab the sharp blade into his heart.
"Good afternoon. β
Alexei tapped his snow-stained boots on the blanket in front of the door, and he walked into the room and looked at the two sitting around a small table with pen and paper on it, and a few words were written crookedly on the paper.
"Imperial Chinese. β
Alexei glanced at the subtle change in expression on Lan Meng's face, and saw her stand up, crumpling the paper as if nothing had happened.
"The king forsaken the kingdom, and the kingdom should forsake the king. β
Alexei snorted, took a step, and naturally rested his palm on the side of Engeline's shoulder, who suddenly paused his desire to get up, and the corners of his eyes suddenly focused, and slowly sat back down.
"It was the kingdom that killed the king first, and the king's heirs had to flee under the pressure of the butcher's knife. β
Although Lan Meng had secretly warned herself in her heart not to talk nonsense with Alexedore before, whenever the mage mentioned something about the kingdom, she couldn't help but refute it. Yes, Alexei is so hateful, he only exposes scars and says nasty bastard things.
"I don't want to fight with you, you just say yes. β
And so it is again!
Obviously, Alexei was the first to provoke the battle every time, but he would immediately withdraw in a more infuriating way. Lan Meng felt like a frog forced to inflate, a wave of anger that could not be vented, as if it might explode at any moment.
She glared at Alexei hatefully, and simply came out of sight, casually pulled a book from the shelf, and turned to look at it to herself, her neck lowered, and from Alexey's point of view, she looked like an ostrich buried in the sand.
This time, however, Alex was not here for the Blue Dream, but for Nglain, an indigenous barbarian of the Northland tribe and one of the first inhabitants of the city in the future.
