Chapter 75: Eight Pieces
"There's nothing you can do?" Albert frowned, "You're a business genius, Kyle. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Blackwater Fort is so big, I've tried my best, but I've only improved from 272nd to 110th. Kyle said dejectedly, "None of the Dandelion heirs are vegetarians, and it seems that this time I'm really finished." ”
"Would you like to hear what I can do? Maybe I can help you. Albert made a decision almost without thinking, and if he found the Fountain of Magic, Kyle's performance would not be a problem.
Provided, of course, that he can come back alive.
"What good ideas can you have. Kyle scratched his head vigorously, grabbing his long blonde hair into a mess.
"Lend me 10,000 gold coins. Albert said calmly.
"You're still in the mood to joke?" Kyle turned his head and glared at Albert.
"I mean really. Albert said seriously, "I do need 10,000 gold coins." He told him.
"Yes. Kyle looked at Albert quizzically, "But you'll have to tell me what it's for." ”
"Buy a set of mid-level enchanted equipment. Albert said without hesitation that if he was equipped with mid-level enchanted equipment, he believed that his chances of survival in this mission would increase several times. "I found a magic fountain in the Misty Forest, which is why I bought gear. "He has nothing to hide, and if none of his last friends can be trusted, then his life will be too sad.
"Fountain of Magic!" Kyle exclaimed, rising from the couch.
"Yes, you heard me right, and I'm not kidding. Albert nodded, "It's the Fountain of Mana." ”
"Where did you get the news?" Kyle took a few deep breaths and sat back on the couch, "Is anyone else besides you who knows the location of the Fountain of Mana?"
"Nobody knows but me. "But I'm not sure if the Fountain of Magic is still there, it's a long time ago, and I'm not sure if it's dry." ”
"Whenever possible, that's enough. Kyle swallowed, "Do you know what that means?"
"Of course. Albert shrugged, "A treasure." ”
"That's right, a treasure that can even make me rank in the top ten!" Kyle's eyes lit up, "Where is the Misty Forest?" Despite the excitement in his heart, he didn't lose his mind, he knew that the Misty Forest was not a forest in the suburbs.
"This. Albert took the map out of his pocket and pointed it to Kyle.
"This is a dangerous area, maybe we can find a few mercenaries to find a way first. Kyle said.
"Not all mercenaries can be trusted. Albert shook his head, "If the news leaks, we're going to be busy." ”
"Then wait until your strength reaches the Golden Rank, listen, Albert, we don't need to take any chances. Kyle frowned, even though the quarterly rankings were coming to an end, he didn't want his best friend to die.
"I'm afraid I don't have that much time. Albert smiled bitterly.
"Why?" Kyle was a little surprised, "Don't you see the yellow sign on the map?"
"Of course I can see that. Albert shrugged, "During the battle with the Tiger King at Fort Bolton, I was attacked by magic when I used magic at a higher level, so I needed the Fountain of Mana to repair the source of my mana. If the source of magic collapses for too long, I will become a normal person completely, and I will no longer be able to use magic for the rest of my life, and maybe worse, there are many people in history who have gone crazy because of magic. ”
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Kyle frowned, "Don't worry, I'll help you prepare the Fountain of Mana." ”
"That would require a few liters of the Fountain of Mana, if not more. Albert pouted, "Are you sure you can scrape together that much? ”
"What if that spring dries up?" Kyle said, a little worried.
"At least I tried. Albert said.
"Okay. Kyle nodded helplessly, "Let Big Brother Yarman and Barrett accompany you, they can help." ”
"No, I'm not going to fight, the more people there are, the more people limit my movements. Albert shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to die." ”
"But you've lost your magic. Kyle smiled wryly, "Isn't the power of the Elder Mage derived from magic?"
"I still have strength. Albert spread his hands, "I'm not an Elder Mage either. ”
"What do you mean?" Kyle was a little confused.
"Bang!"
Albert smashed the wooden coffee table with a punch, "See?"
"Are you still a martial artist?" Kyle asked curiously, "No, you don't have any vitality fluctuations on your body at all, what the hell is going on?"
"I'm a dragon. Albert tells Kyle his biggest secret, and he trusts Kyle completely. Besides, if he really died, at least someone would remember that there was a dragon heir, who lived in the Atlantis continent where the dragon disappeared for 10,000 years. With Kyle's stunned expression, Albert unbuttoned his shirt. As the strength of the body increased, the dark red dragon scales had covered the chest and began to grow towards the arms, neck, and abdomen.
"It's incredible. Kyle's jaw dropped.
"My physical strength is already close to the level of a six-star martial artist, and if I have a set of intermediate enchanted equipment, I can escape even if I encounter a seven-star demonic beast. Albert said lightly.
"It was so shocking that I even suspected I was dreaming. Kyle said incredulously.
"You'll have to keep it a secret for me. Albert said with a smile.
"Of course, I don't want my best friend to be caught in the lab. Kyle smiled as well. "I'll send someone to buy the best set of intermediate enchanting equipment, there are no intermediate enchanters in a small town like Blackwater Castle. He told him.
"All you need to do is give me the money, I'm going on a trip to the Rhine. Albert said.
"What are you doing there?"
"Look at a friend. Thinking of Joanna, Albert couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face, hoping that this meeting was not a farewell.
"Okay. Kyle shrugged, "You wait here for me for a moment." He told him and got up and went to the bedroom.
Moments later, Kyle retrieves a box.
"This is my entire savings, a total of 110,000 gold coins. He opened the box and pulled out a thick stack of savings cards. "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, a pair of enchanted high-grade and light shoes will save you a lot of trouble. ”
After thinking about it, Albert took the crystal card, "If I die, this money will be gone." ”
"If you die, I'll find your body, and I'll dismantle you and feed the pigs, I swear. Kyle said earnestly.
※※※
Horses galloped, kicking up puffs of dust.
When Albert arrived in the Rhine, three days had passed.
He found an inn to settle in, led his horse to the stable, and then went to the bustling business district to find an intermediate enchantment shop.
The prosperity of the Rhine City surpassed that of the trading port of Blackwater Castle, and the population was even larger, I don't know how much, which Albert could feel in the business district. The streets are bustling with pedestrians, the stream is endless, and the noisy sounds are irritating. The shops on both sides are lined with a dazzling array of goods, and the vendors are trying their best to sell their wares, but even with the help of loudspeakers, they can't stand out from the noisy crowd.
Albert walked a few blocks and finally found a well-decorated enchanted shop.
In front of this three-story building stood ten burly strong men, judging from the fluctuation of vitality, these people were all six-star martial artists.
Albert stepped up the stairs and into the shop. What catches your eye is a series of glass display cases, different types of enchanted equipment are neatly arranged in the counter, and next to each counter stands a beautiful saleswoman. About a dozen customers stopped at the counter, asking something.
"Good morning, sir, is there anything you need?" said the hostess, bowing slightly and smiling.
"I can do it myself, thank you. Albert smiled politely.
"This is the Shopping Guide. The hostess took a booklet from the small bookshelf behind her and handed it to Albert.
"Thanks again. Albert nodded, and as he walked to the second floor, he flipped through the pamphlet.
The first floor of the shop is for beginner enchanted equipment, and the second floor is for intermediate enchanted equipment. There are two areas on the third floor, one is the high-level enchanted equipment and personalized enchanted equipment customization area, and the other is the enchanter's enchantment room.
"Hello, is there anything you need?" there was also a welcoming lady at the staircase on the second floor.
"No, thank you. Albert raised the pamphlet, and under the stunned gaze of the hostess, continued to the third floor.
The third floor is a custom area, and the young man in front of him is so young, and he doesn't look like the son of a wealthy merchant or a descendant of a noble nobleman, so he won't be here to make trouble. Of course, despite the hostess's skepticism, she chose to remain silent due to the staff rules. Don't underestimate any customer, that's the first rule of the Employee Code.
Albert came to the third floor, and this time it was an old man who received him. Of course, there is no such thing as hospitality.
The old man sat on the sofa in the hall and drank coffee leisurely. "What's the matter?" said the old man who looked like a withered tree after seeing Albert, and stretched out his hand like a dead wood to make a gesture of please.
"I'm going to buy high-level enchanted equipment. Albert sat down on another couch.
"One set?" the old man asked.
"No, one piece. Albert shook his head, "Just boot armor." ”
"It turned out to be a poor boy. The old man just sat up straight and leaned back on the sofa, "What else do you want?" ”
"There are no other requirements, as long as it is an enchanted high-level light boot armor. Albert's eyelids jumped, and he resisted the urge to come forward and punch the old man.
"The price of high-level enchanted equipment is 5-100,000 gold coins, and the payment is based on the quality of the finished product, and a deposit of 10,000 gold coins is paid first. The old man said lightly.
Albert nodded and took out two savings crystal cards, "Each one has 5,000 gold coins in it." ”
"Hmm. The old man took the crystal card, and finally a smile appeared on his face, "Come and pick up the goods tomorrow morning." ”
