Chapter 103: Back to square one

Ronald stood there resignedly, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Both, what is there that I can do for you?"

"Would you like to help?" asked Yabon, looking at him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"What if you don't want to? Can I still get people out of your hands and run away? Don't talk nonsense, you two still tell me directly what I need to do...... But let's be clear first, I only have one life, and it's your business how to play, but if you play me to death, you won't blame me for not working out in the end. Ronald simply sat on the ground with his arms around his chest, in a hob posture.

Yabonn looked at Ronald's posture and immediately laughed: "Don't worry, how can we deliberately play you to death? Actually, what we want you to do is very simple, just go into a place and help us get something." ā€

"Something?" Ronald knew that things would never be as simple as they said, what kind of things could make two legendary masters think about them?

"Yes, we could have gone in and taken it ourselves, but it was the private laboratory of a dead legendary magician...... What we need is the results of his magical research during his lifetime, but if that thing is planted by him, once a legendary-level person enters, the entire laboratory will explode and self-destruct, and everything we want will be destroyed along with it. The old man put his hands behind his back and said, "Now you understand why we need someone to help us, right? It's not that we can't get in, but we are doomed to not get things when we go in, so we can only ask others to help us take them out." ā€

"The legendary archmage's private laboratory?" Ronald chuckled in his heart, looking at the old man with a strange look: "Could it be Rod Ben's laboratory?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, that little guy from the Shadow Guild seems to have told you the news. The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said suddenly.

Ronald smiled bitterly, the private laboratory of a legendary archmage, you know how terrifying it will be when you think about it...... I didn't want to take this risk, so I left the Valentine Mountains with the group, but I didn't expect to go around again in the end.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Prescott family also knows about the existence of this laboratory, right? Their family's strength has been so empty lately, and the personnel must have been transferred to the laboratory. Ronald asked.

"You're not too stupid. The old man nodded.

As far as I know, the Shadow Guild is the top killer organization on the continent, and the Prescott family is also the great nobles of the Duchy of Lomons...... Their staff are now in the lab, aren't you afraid that they will take the contents away in advance?"

Yabonn smiled slightly, and said disapprehantly: "In terms of power, they do have the qualifications to be proud, but in terms of strength...... They were far from it. A legendary archmage's laboratory, if anyone can enter it at will, will inevitably look down on us too much. ā€

"That's right, if I die, I will directly let the Void Snake guard the tomb for me, and I won't want to break through its defense without seven or eight gold-level shots together. What's more, Rod Benn is also a legendary archmage!"

"They are the most insidious, all kinds of magic traps are endless, and if you want to enter his private laboratory, you definitely can't rely on the number of people to do it. The old man said with the same disdain.

Seven or eight gold?

Ronald turned his head to look at the Void Snake, secretly surprised by the terrifying strength of this giant snake.

"But don't worry too much, I've been in all but the bottom floor of that lab. I know very well what kind of magic traps there are, and I'll give you a detailed map and how to crack them...... But once you're on the last floor, it's up to you. ā€

"Is the last layer dangerous?" Ronald asked, bowing his head.

When it comes to the legendary archmage's private laboratory, the most intuitive impression that comes to Ronald's mind is the black laboratory of those mad scientists that were shown on TV before the time travel...... All sorts of crazy ideas, as well as extremely dangerous experiments......

Who knows if an inconspicuous 'stone' inside is a magic bomb?

Who knows if a scroll on the table is a research record or a sealed high-level magic?

As if to understand Ronald's concerns, the old man smiled and said, "Don't think too much about magicians, they are also human beings, and if their brains are hot, they are even more invested than ordinary people." So the last layer is not necessarily dangerous, after all, it is the core place of his experiments, as long as he is careful not to trigger the self-destructing magic array, there should be no danger. ā€

"If you think it's unfair," continued Abonne, "we can compensate you handsomely! You're too old, it's too late for me to take you on as a magical apprentice, and you don't have the talent of a magician...... Why don't we compensate you with money?"

"Although the two of us did not become the retainers of those top nobles, nor were we supported by the royal families of various countries, we could still get three or five hundred thousand gold coins. ā€

Yabonn and the old man glanced at each other vaguely, and the corners of their mouths showed a sly smile.

But the next moment, Ronald shook his head directly: "Forget about money, it doesn't mean anything to me." "Just kidding, what Ronald needs is the gold he looted as a sacrifice, and the gold coins given to him by others have no effect.

Unless he is really going to collect a sum of money to build a manor, and then donate a low-level title to retire.

Yabonn and the old man were stunned for a moment, and looked at Ronald in surprise.

"Don't you really need it? I'm talking about 300,000 or 500,000 gold coins, not 30,000 or 50,000!" Yabonn asked with some reluctance, "Aren't you a bandit?"

"Of course I like money, but I just need to ......," Ronald said subconsciously, but then reacted and stared at the two of them with cautious eyes: "How do I feel like you want to send me money?"

"Ahem~ We just don't want to take advantage of you, after all, we are also legendary no matter how we say it, and a little benefit is enough for you to be grateful. So the two of us are actually very generous people......" the old man explained, coughing awkwardly.

Yabonn nodded: "That's right, since you don't like money, you might as well tell us what you want." Everyone is clean afterwards, and they don't owe each other, so that you don't rely on the two of us. Yabonn said with a deliberately arrogant look.
