Chapter 12: Great News

"The Supreme Sword Saifaril Umdo Burning will soon marry the first princess of Torre, the female governor of the province of Eltaber Dimitra Frasai, and the power of the red-robed mage will surely follow, are we looking for some excuse to avoid reaching a cooperation intention with Mumaster, so as not to cause you **annoyance. "Goku suddenly pulled Mike back because of this news.

"I'm using the Harua's ring law to shut down their. Mike was unconsciously straightforward.

Wukong rolled his eyes, you should keep your self-deceptive words and tell the red-robed mage to see if they will believe it.

"Besides, I can't practice the secret art of the red robe even as a warlock. ”

Wukong rolled his eyes again, haven't you always regarded yourself as a master, and now you suddenly became a warlock again?

"Even if they can really believe your nonsense, what are you going to do with Master Zevahid?"

The fact that Master Zevahid is a red-robed master who defected is not particularly secret, the high-level of the Dragon Palace and the high-level of the mercenary group know about it, and it is difficult to say whether others know about it, if the red-robed mage knows......

"Anyway, whether we open it or not, the red-robed mage will always come to us to investigate after coming to Mumaster, so it's better to let it go with the flow to avoid them becoming suspicious. In fact, if you think about it carefully, maybe Mu Master will kill the Dragon Palace immediately with the help of the red-robed mage, and our reform and opening up can ease the tension between each other and avoid the worst, and they should thank us. ”

Wukong rolled his eyes wildly, you should keep what you say to the Dragon Palace, and see if they will thank you.

"Trust me, no problem!" Mike ended the conversation with a pat on his chest.

Then the next day, they went back with the agreement of "200 soldiers, 1,000 civilians and slaves to contract 5,000 acres of land near the river and the sea", and the efficiency was simply beyond the sky. Mike didn't care why Mumaster reacted so quickly, anyway, he was determined to come.

After returning and simply showing off his brilliant diplomatic achievements, Mike took the stunned Selmena to the Dragon Palace to convey to Master Zewahid that "the reform and opening up of Sanzang Town has effectively eased the tension with Mumaster, and to a large extent, they can avoid the "great news" that they will be killed by the red-robed mage to the Dragon Palace.

"The Empire is coming?!...... Master Zevahid suddenly heard the good news, and even the test tube in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

"Well, the Supreme Sword of Mumaste, Celefaril Umdo, will soon marry the First Princess of Torre, the Female Governor of the Eltabor Province, Dimitra Frasai, and the power of the red-robed mage will surely follow. Mike nodded in confirmation.

"Then you still dare to let the Mumaster people go to Sanzang Town?!"

"Well, I guess they won't be embarrassed by me as a warlock. ”

Master Zevahid rolled his eyes, haven't you always regarded yourself as a Dharma Master, and now you suddenly became a warlock again? And do you think your tattoo is a tattoo under the skin The real red-robed master can't sense it, it's too naΓ―ve, I ...... Hey, Master Zevahid blinked, rolled his fingers and whispered in his mouth, and it took a long time before he spoke again: "If your tattoo wasn't painted by me, maybe you could really fool you." What the hell is going on?"

"They all say I'm a warlock. Mike spread his hands.

"I see. Double cultivators can cover up low levels with high ranks, and I always thought that it wouldn't affect tattoo sensing, Ku Ku Ku Ku ...... That's right, no wonder the Empire has always rejected warlocks. Master Zevahid nodded, "In that case, you really don't have to worry too much. It's just that once my identity is revealed, even if you are really a warlock, the result will still be the same. ”

"Well, I don't think so. ”

Master Zevahid rolled his eyes, "Why do you think I didn't even dare to go to Glacier Town all the time?!"

I still dare to go, but I don't dare to stay permanently.

"Then why don't I wash off the magic pattern?" Anyway, during this time, I am going to change the forbidden school, unravel the enchantment and change the forbidden plastic energy, and it is really necessary to wash away the magic pattern, as for whether I want to re-tattoo or change to the shadow secret art in the future, I will talk about it when the time comes.

"It's for the best. ”

"And what is the master going to do?"

"The secret art is where my foundation lies, and there is absolutely no way to give it up, and when the time comes, I will have to leave behind the foundation that I have been working hard for decades...... No, the loss is so heavy, little Mike, you must pay for it!"

Mike rolled his eyes, the red-robed mage came to the moon customs to my. But......

"Some time ago, I went to Ammu for an adventure, and I happened to get a spell book that transcribed the 9th-order spell smashing palm of the plastic energy system, originally I wanted to practice it by myself in the future, but when I think about it carefully, it feels quite distant, if the master is willing to take some time out of his busy schedule to help me enchant a ring......"

Master Zevahid rolled his eyes, I've been to Amm many times, and I've never come across such a treasure. But......

"Well, I really don't have anything important to do lately, and it's okay to build some equipment to practice my hands. It's just that the 9th-order spells are complicated and difficult to understand, and there must be a lot of explanations, little Mike, you should be able to get it together. ”

"The master is really wise. ”

"This matter has to be communicated with the lady and Aland. ”

"Exactly. ”

......

"Well, I knew it wouldn't be good to know you......" Master Aland frowned.

"Library, Library, Library...... What did your enemy say when he came to the door, 'Good brother, be angry, let's join forces to fight him!'"

"Alas, it's all the fault of youth......"

"You two, if you have this kind of nonsense, you might as well think about it carefully, how many people in Sanzang Town, Binghe Town, might know the identity of the library, and withdraw them all. Although they are not afraid, more is better than less. ”

"Library, Library, Library...... Don't think about it, I didn't go there at all if I knew. Alas, it's actually all Mike's nonsense, otherwise Sal and Mina don't know either. ”

Mike rolled his eyes wildly: It turns out that you have been prepared for a long time, so what you say 'endure the pain and leave this foundation that has been in business for decades' is also nonsense. And you can't blame me for the leak, seeing that your goblin apprentices can ring the law, I thought everyone knew about it a long time ago.

"In that case, let's do it first, let the guards be vigilant and strengthen patrols, Mike's side should pay attention to collecting more information, and wait until they really come to see the situation, we still have to do what to do now." Ku, how's your Soul Prisoner experiment, is it useful?"

"It can be said that a lot of progress has been made, kuku...... The success proved that the strength of the mountain giant was too dependent on the physique, and although the strength of the soul was good, it was not pure enough to meet the requirements of the transformation of the imprisoned soul demon. ”

"You're wasting so much material and that's it?"

"How can you say that the experiment is wasteful...... And he got a half-finished product, but he just didn't have superpowers. ”

"Okay, okay, let's go and see your half-finished product, it's 20,000 gold coins. Come along, Mike. ”

Before they could walk out of the living room, a few kobolds came running up to them, shouting and screaming.

"Oh no, no, no, the test subject has gone berserk!"

......

When everyone arrived, the half-finished Soul Prisoner had been subdued by the dwarven warriors, and although there were many wounded, only a few unlucky kobold slaves died, but because the rampage was in the laboratory, the property loss was relatively heavy.

"No, I'm using magic to control it. "Master Zewahid is distressed.

"Okay, okay, you better concentrate on practicing elemental control. Lady Honglong's face was not very good, "I think this thing can still be destroyed, alas, 20,000 gold coins ......"

"Alas, that's all there is to it, magic will always remember their sacrifice......"

At this moment, Mike suddenly realized that studying magic was indeed a very expensive thing, far from being as "cheap" as he had always had to copy magic books.

"Master, instead of destroying it, why don't you send it to me, I have something to do in a while, and I just need a few high-level cannon fodder. "It's a joint operation with Rosetda, but there's no need to make it known.

"It's not that it's not impossible, it's just that it's not very obedient, and the ...... of Kuku Kuku" is actually too disobedient.

"It's just a matter of sending it to death to create chaos, and you don't need it to be obedient. This time can be sealed with stone plasticity, and it can't be reversed. ”

"Then I'll give it to you, Kukukukuku......" Master Zewahid didn't care about this. Although the cost is indeed high, the value of the finished product is also very low.

After Mike left happily with cannon fodder, the three of them began to discuss business.

"What do you think he wants to do with opening up to the outside world?"

"It's hard to say, I guess it's possible that he wants the forces behind him to settle in. ”

"Can't you just settle in, we won't care about him. ”

"Library, Library, Library...... What if it's the Dragonsorcer or the Arcane Brotherhood?"

The former is an old evil force with a lot of enemies, and it is impossible to show up in public at all; the latter is a ** organization in the Northland, and it is not on good terms with the Santalin Society, so it is very necessary to hide it in the Moon Sea.

"Forget it, it's none of our business anyway, let's do what he likes, or think about any bad influences in other aspects. ”

"In my opinion......"

Mike, who has always thought of himself as a representative of love and justice, does not know that his image in the hearts of the people of the Dragon Palace is quite different from the imagination, and after he returns from the Dragon Palace, he meets with the mysterious man the next night.

The mysterious man is the mysterious person who previously claimed to have "400,000 needles per month, 300,000 fish hooks, 90,000 knives, 30,000 fire sickles, and a total price of 50,000 gold coins, which may increase depending on the sales situation".

"If I can pay with magic materials such as Adamantite Mithril Gem Soul Fragments, I can accept this price. Mike wasn't interested in who his last name was.

"Yes. The mysterious man nodded and took out a piece of paper from his bosom, "The merchandise can't use the previous mark, it has to be marked with this." ”

"No problem. "Isn't it just an OEM? "In order to avoid unpleasant things from happening, I hope these items are not sold in Tsukimi. ”

"Yes. The mysterious man nodded, the market he envisioned was not dominated here, "In this case, you should ensure that the price of the goods is stable, otherwise it will cause us a lot of trouble." ”

"No problem. "Isn't it a price alliance? "I don't know what you're going to do when it comes to handing over goods. ”

"The goods and magic materials are small in size, light in weight and high in value, and they can be completely used with space bags and teleportation spells, and our people came here at the beginning of the month, with this mark to pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand, and at the same time determine the number of goods for the next month. ”

"No problem. ”

"I wonder when you'll be ready for the first batch of goods?"

"At the beginning of next month. "Mike's semi-finished products can last for a month, and the subsequent processing of ordinary goblins can do it, and it is very easy to expand production.

"Very good. The mysterious man was secretly shocked, thinking that it would take at least a few months to expand production, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. However, it immediately occurred to me that the other party might have realized that he had been secretly buying in large quantities, so it would be easy to use that part of the production capacity for customization. "The amount of money involved in the transaction is huge, and I think it's important to send some people to strengthen the defense. "By the way, you can do something else.

"Well, that's fine. Mike thought about it and thought there was nothing wrong with it. The small commodity factory was ready to move to Glacier Town, but due to the relationship between transportation and underground space, it has only moved for one phase, and the output is only about 30%. Now that I think about it, anyway, after Sanzang Town opens to the outside world, it will definitely be mixed, and no matter how much trouble it is, it is better to continue to produce in Sanzang Town, and let this "partner" send a few masters to the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "But they're only helping with the defense, and they don't have the right to do anything else. ”

"It's nature. The mystery man nodded. Although I have planned to take advantage of the "reform and opening up" to send people to settle in, wouldn't it be better to echo each other in this way, but I really didn't expect the other party to agree so easily. "Now that everything is done, I will take my leave. ”

Then the mysterious man took out a scepter, no chanting, no movement, no materials, no casting, and disappeared. This kind of three-no-casting spell can't even distinguish between magic and arcane arts, and can only be judged from the effect of the spell that it should be some kind of teleportation spell.

Dressed in his usual attire, the Mystic regains his original identity as Zor Cheebry, the former Bane Electorate and now Bishop of Santillburg and second-in-command of the Santarin.

'Now that the Divine Son Sivim needs to be rescued, and the Supreme Sword is in the works, there is a need for a base in the Moon Sea that can avoid the Dark Sun Eyeliner Manson spies. Raven Fortress was originally the best choice, but old friend Mansong didn't know if he noticed something, there have been some moves there in the past few years, the dark castle is too far away, and he can only choose that Sanzang Town, which is quite suitable as a temporary base. The overall situation is important, and there is no way to divide some of the profits first, and wait for my lord to return......

Mike, on the other hand, is showing off his diplomatic achievements.

β€œ...... Brother Mike, you are so fast to betray your own interests, sister, I really can't reach it......" Sermena helped her forehead, and this time she agreed to "assist in defense", which is equivalent to selling important information such as the production capacity and scale manufacturing methods of small commodities, I really don't know what he will sell next time.

"Don't worry, on our turf, what they take away is only the skin, what we get is the essence. Mike confidently patted his chest and assured.

"Fur essence aside, when the time comes, Sanzang Town will not be ours......

"There are 16 lords in Waterdeep, and Amu has a council of 6, so we can learn from them. Mike continues to be confident.

"Alas, anyway, until now, Sanzang Town has always been Brother Mike, you are contributing money, and Koria is contributing, if only you could talk to him. "Although the Dragon Palace has injected a lot of money, it has never paid real money, and after careful calculation, it is actually just to find something to do for the dwarves who were originally relatively idle, and eliminate a lot of kobolds who can be quickly replenished. That's the real reason why Mike can always do whatever he wants.

"You can rest assured that he will definitely raise his hands in approval. Mike continued to pat his chest in reassurance. It's hard to say whether it will approve of it, anyway, since Mumaster attacked Sanzang Town, Kolya has not dared to go ashore, and this time the mercenary group will immediately return the power.

"Speaking of which, how is he learning the martial arts and techniques of other people, did he say when he will come back?"

"I'll contact him tomorrow when I prepare a spell. ”

Coria had long found that the 4th order divine technique seemed to be the limit of his talent, and it was clear that the caster's level was enough, and there was no problem with the theoretical mastery, but he couldn't use the 5th order. He tried many times, but he was unable to break through the limitations of his talent, and could only turn to strengthening his abilities beyond casting. The path he envisioned for himself was that of the Druid, Warshapeshifter, Guardian of Nature, Divine Fist.

Druid is an immortal combat class developed by elves, and the information is relatively public, and Koria has reached a bottleneck.

The origin of the War Shapeshifter is controversial, and it is a support combat class that can quickly adjust its body to increase its strength, and it must have the ability to transform before it can be practiced. Theoretically, the stronger the transformation ability, the better the cultivation effect, the best effect of the transformation monster that can change their body at will, and the effect of the beast who can switch between human, beast and even mixed forms at will is second, the mage who can only rely on transfiguration several times a day and the druid who rely on natural transformation have the worst effect, but in fact, due to the strong scientific research advantage of the mage druid, they are the most suitable people for the war shapeshifter technique that has been improved many times. Coria practiced well, but the fifth and final level was never allowed to enter, but he felt that it was enough.

The origin of the Guardian of Nature is unknown, it is said that it is a thing concocted by some guys who like to turn into beasts for a long time, and Coria has heard of it but does not know the specific practice, and wants to practice but cannot get it.

The Divine Fist is said to be the invention of otherworldly creatures, and the specific practice of Koria is not known, but in his mind, it should be a warrior monk who also cultivates divine arts, so he must first practice some warrior monk skills. The practice of the warrior monk is very open, but the Corians are more vulgar and can't live that kind of transcendent life, and he is not as self-aware as Sermena, he only feels that he can't practice the martial monk's technique completely because he doesn't have a master.

Therefore, after cooperating with the mercenary group returning from the underground to rectify the Sanzang Town Guard, Koria went to the Yellow Rose Monastery, which is the closest to this place, deep in the mountains east of the White Worm Glacier, to learn from him. The warrior monk of the monastery probably felt that as a sea elf and a druid, he should not be a bandit, so he received him warmly and patiently pointed out his doubts in the monk's practice.

Although we know that Korya's failure to cultivate the martial monk's technique is entirely due to the fact that others are more inferior in spiritual cultivation, and it is useless to improve this aspect, Koria herself obviously does not think so.

"Mike, I feel that the breakthrough is imminent, I'm afraid I don't care about it in a short time, you can just take care of the affairs of Sanzang Town by yourself, and please do it over there in Koria City. ”

"Good. ”

The affairs of Coria City are easy, and the daily affairs are handled by General Bruno and other dry shrimp soldiers and crabs, and what Coria entrusts is nothing more than if a strong person comes to the door to help resist, the mercenary group has recently to reorganize and receive foreign guests, and it is not going anywhere to take care of the house.
