Chapter 22 Changing Hands
The maroon mare trotted briskly, and the sound of the horse's hooves was incessantly heard wherever the slender and powerful legs passed, and it was the most beautiful sound in the world to Marcos's ears. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After nearly a month of traveling, Marcos was finally able to ride his horses almost proficiently. Of course, this has a lot to do with the gentle temperament of the little mare under the crotch, if you change the big dark horse ridden by Tang Mo, the end is still worrying.
After a month, the young owl seems to have grown up a little, but this little animal has some opinions about Marcos recently, and he stays away from him at every opportunity, and he is very disgusted, which makes Marcos depressed.
Marcos looked at the back of his hand, where a small hole had been pecked, and a trace of blood oozed out.
The young owl flapped its wings and stopped on the huge head of the big black horse, the sturdy stallion was a little dissatisfied, it snorted and shook its head from side to side, Tang Mo had to appease it before it quieted down.
"Does it look a little grumpy?" Marcos was puzzled. But it doesn't matter, Mage Momiji seems to know everything and can give answers to any question, and this time should be no exception, he is really a wise and erudite man, Marcos thought.
Tang Mo condescendingly looked down at Marcos who was parallel to him, and said, "It doesn't like you, you have the smell of the undead." ”
"The smell of the undead?" Marcos sniffed at himself in disbelief and found nothing. He raised his arm again and sniffed under his armpit, "No, I can't smell anything, can you smell it?"
"I can't smell it either. ”
"Then why ?......" Marcos looked at the master suspiciously, and then at the young man who was making a fortune on the head of the black horse.
Seeing him coming, the young owl turned his little furry head vigilantly, as if he was going to run away as soon as Marcos approached.
"There's evil in you. The owl is an intelligent, sensible animal, it doesn't like evil, and I said it's a good animal. ”
"Evil?" Marcos asked incredulously, shouting "what's going on? I've never done anything unreasonable!"
Tang Mo replied categorically, "Have you ever forgotten that you've been summoning skeletons this month?" Summoning the undead is an evil act, and it's obvious that you've begun to drift to the evil side. ”
Marcos was a little frightened, he never thought he would become a "bad guy" in his own eyes. He yelled, "How could it be?!I just summoned the skeleton and didn't let it do anything bad, I never thought that way, so it became evil?"
The mage retorted unceremoniously, "Summoning skeletons is an evil act in itself, and it doesn't matter what you think in your heart. The important thing is that you do it, you see? Good or evil, order or chaos, it depends on your actions and not on your thoughts. ”
Marcos fell into despair, and he asked dejectedly, "You all know that summoning the undead will lead to evil consequences, why do you want to teach me this? Can't you teach something else?"
The mage smiled: "You don't have to learn, I didn't force you, the choice is yours, isn't it?"
"Also, your admission letter is for you to go to a place called Bone Shattering Academy, right?"
Marcos nodded honestly.
"Did you think of something when you saw the word broken bones?"
Marcos's eyes widened, and this kid, who was in some ways ignorant, finally remembered that there was such a thing.
"And the emblem of the bone claw. Obviously, this place is inseparable from undead creatures. Either you don't go, or if you do, you'll definitely have to deal with all kinds of undead creatures in the future, and it's only a matter of time before you become an evil camp. ”
"Do you want to regret it now? It's too late to regret it, do you want to send you home?"
Marcos looked pained and struggling, and finally said helplessly like a deflated ball: "I've gone so far, isn't it being laughed at when I go back now?"
Tang Mo smiled and didn't expose him, this bastard still couldn't let go of his thirst for strength and knowledge. As for power and wealth, at his current age, it is difficult to think so far.
"Since you have chosen to move on, what are you going to do, young owl?"
Marcos was silent, he didn't want to give up on this little animal, it was destined to be a very good helper when it grew up.
Tang Mo didn't urge him, but persuaded slowly: "If you want the best of both worlds, this idea is very good." It's a pity that you are destined to fall deeper and deeper in the future, and now that the owl sees you, he only pecks you a few times, and waits for the future...... I'm not sure what will happen. ”
"What then?" said Marcos, his face gloomy and very unhappy.
"Dispose of it. For example, selling. Tang Mo said very resolutely.
"But it signed a contract with me...... No, you haven't signed a contract with me, why is this happening?"
"Because it's too reluctant, you didn't rely on your own strength to sign the contract. It's okay if it's normal, but now the factions are clashing, unless you can always suppress it with your own power. ”
"But this is impossible, the growth of the giant owl is much faster than yours, you can't suppress it for two years at most, and when the time comes, forcing you to break the contract will cause you backlash. ”
Marcos finally gave up, and he reluctantly looked at the young owl, but the little creature turned its face away, completely ignoring him.
"Well, you can help me with the contract, Mr. Mage. ”
"Of course, I'm happy to help. Tang Mo said with a smile.
"So, what's next? Last time you said, maybe it's worth 10,000 gold coins?"
"Although this is possible, it is still very difficult to sell at this high price. There are not many people who know the goods, and even if there are people who know each other, it is inevitable to reduce the price. ”
Marcos had already made a decision, and now he was only thinking about how to sell it for a higher price, so he waited for the mage's judgment.
"It's better to leave the young owl to me, and I'll deal with it. As for the coins from selling it, I can pay you in advance, what do you think?" Tang Mo looked like I was thinking about you.
Marcos was overjoyed, since it was impossible to do anything, it was the best result to be able to sell it for a high price. He thanked the Master for his generosity: "Thank you so much, Master Master. ”
Tang Mo nodded and said, "Then it's decided, do you want to use this money yourself, or give it to your family?"
"What about your suggestion?"
"There are a lot of places where you need to spend money in the future, so it's better to exchange them for golden tickets, keep most of them, and send a small part to your home. When we get to the big town with a business in front of us, we'll handle it. ”
Marcos had no objection and readily agreed.
Tang Mo was also very happy, he liked this giant beast very much, but the Marcos family had a good relationship with him, and he was also very embarrassed.
It's great that this problem can now be solved in a reasonable and happy way!
