Chapter 9 Negotiation and Scruples
Fireballs blow up the Eaters head-on, followed by more fireballs that blow the other Eaters on their backs.
Compared to rune stones, these fireballs were obviously more powerful, and after a single shot, many Pole Eaters could not afford to take a shot.
"Chip, has the source of the attack been detected?" Roman asked.
"Didi! Perception is disturbed by an unknown force field... Nothing was found......"
"Perceptual interference?" Roman was stunned: "Is this the method of wizards, that is to say, I can't deal with wizards like I did with Amber, because I don't even know where the other party is." ”
In the midst of their thoughts, the Eaters were blown apart, and after being hit head-on, they finally developed an emotion called "fear" and collapsed.
Roman stood quietly in place, looking at the distant back of the devouring beast, his expression was calm, his eyes flashed a little red, and after a while, several gray-robed people appeared in front of him, and said lightly:
"You're not wearing a gas mask, you're a wizard apprentice?"
Roman bowed respectfully and replied, "Exactly, Lord Wizard, I was just promoted today, thank you Lord Wizard for coming to the rescue." ”
Although he knew that it was the other party who was luring the monster, Roman still pretended not to know, because he understood that the other party had only one purpose in doing this, that is, to covet the rune stone in his hand.
Not only for mortals, but also for wizards, this bag of rune stones is also a lot of wealth, and it is normal for this group of wizards to be greedy.
As expected, one of the wizards at the head pretended to have just seen Roman, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the junior brother has just been promoted, and the junior must not know a rule among wizards." ”
"What do you mean...?" Roman continued to play dumb.
The senior continued Roman's words and said: "Wizards pay attention to equivalent exchanges, I saved you just now, you should have something in return, and the rune stone in your hand is a good reward." ”
Equivalent exchange? Roman sneered in his heart, only if the strength is commensurate, there is an equivalent exchange, but at the moment, there is a huge disparity in strength, normally it is good to directly rob it, and there is really no need to engage in coercion Entu to report this.
Unless there are other restrictions, they can't make a move!
Roman's thoughts were churning, his eyes turned to the standing positions of several wizards next to him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration gave him an order: "Chip, analyze the micro-expressions of a few people!" ”
"Ding! The task is set up, and the analysis ...... begins"
After a while, the results came out, just as Roman had guessed, that this was just a makeshift group, and judging from the positions and expressions of several people, they were faintly wary of each other.
Thinking of this, Roman had an idea, took out the bag containing the runes, and said with a smile: "No problem, senior, these runes can be given to you, as long as you escort me to the reporting location......"
"What! Do you still dare to put forward conditions? The leading wizard's face changed, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "You are a first-level apprentice, not only did you not give us anything in return for your favor from us, but also put forward conditions, looking for death?" Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now! ”
Roman continued to smile and shook his head: "I don't believe it, senior, if I could kill you, I would have killed you a long time ago, and I wouldn't have waited until now." ”
As he spoke, Roman pointed to the apprentices next to him: "I guess you're worried about giving people a handle, right?" After all, wizards kill each other, and it's not good to spread the word. ”
The young man's face changed, obviously he was told that he was on a mission, he was not allowed to kill people indiscriminately, and it was fine if he was not discovered, but several people around him were temporary teammates, with record crystals on them, and they might sell him when they turned around.
But he still refused to give in, and sneered: "If I don't agree, can you walk out of this place by yourself?" ”
Roman shook his head and said, "I can't get out, and I will die at the hands of the Eater Beast, but before that, I will use up the rune stones in my hand first, and you dissipate your energy to attract the Eater Beast, but in the end you get nothing......"
The wizard apprentice was taken aback and said in surprise, "You know ......"
Roman spread his hands and said, "What's so hard to guess about this, those Extreme Devouring Beasts are very good!" Hurry up and decide, as long as you get me safely to the place, I'll give you the rune stone. ”
"I believe that wizards are the embodiment of reason, and you will not do anything that does not benefit you."
As soon as these words came out, the young man fell into deep thought, Roman was right, there were people around him who were hindering, and he couldn't blatantly kill Roman.
And it is not cost-effective to continue to use the old method to attract the blame to Roman and consume him to death, but it takes time and energy, and in the end he gets nothing.
But he was very unwilling to agree to a first-level apprentice like this, and he fell into a tangle for a while.
At this time, several companions around him became impatient and urged: "Hey! Colin, you're endless! If we want to make a decision, we have to hurry! ”
Eventually, the wizard named Colin promised, "Well, I promise you, swear before the eyes of judgment!" ”
Roman was overjoyed, so that he would be protected by this third-level wizard apprentice before he arrived at the check-in location.
As soon as he arrives at the check-in location and the security is taken over by the local wizard, he is completely safe.
Although it hurts a little to give up that bag of rune stones, but this is also something that can't be helped, who makes Roman inferior to others now? However, he secretly swore that he would become an immortal and an ancestor in the future, and he would definitely take revenge.
After a spell of awkward incantation, Colin summoned an eye bound by chains, and the two of them uttered their vows.
This roughly means that Colin safely escorts Roman to the apprentice's check-in point, and Roman is paid with runestones, during which the two sides are not allowed to attack each other.
As soon as the words fell, the Eye of Judgment shot out of the chains and sank into the bodies of the two men.
Roman felt that his soul seemed to have an extra layer of restraint, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he ordered: "Chip, scan this phantom and do a composition analysis!" ”
"Ding! The task is set up and the scan begins...... Scanned...... No anomalous ...... found"
It seems that the level is too high, the chip can't perceive it at all, it can't collect data, and no matter how powerful the analysis ability is, it's in vain.
However, after this play, Roman has a new understanding of the weirdness and power of wizards, and has a little more hope for the future.
With the restraint of the Eye of Judgment, Roman and Colin relaxed a lot, and along the way, Roman turned into a curious baby, constantly asking questions.
"Uncle Colin, I just saw that you can easily kill the Extreme Devouring Beast, is it that as long as you reach this level, you don't have to be afraid of the Extreme Devouring Beast?"
Colin replied with a smile: "Of course not, there are many kinds of Extreme Devouring Beasts, the kind you encounter, we call it the puppy level, which is the weakest, and there are fierce beasts, kings, and divine beasts on it...... Even if the dean of the academy encounters it, he has to escape. ”
Anyway, the road was boring, and he didn't mind answering some of Roman's common sense questions.
Roman glanced around and asked, "When you scolded me just now, why didn't your companions come out to help, I feel like your relationship is not very good!" ”
Colin said helplessly: "Hey, it's strange that the relationship is good, I am not from the same academy as them, we came out together this time to ......"
At this moment, the admissions point of the academy arrived, and Roman was full of excitement and looked towards the admissions point, only to find that it was empty.
At this time, Colin behind him said quietly: "We came out this time, mainly responsible for joint admissions, how about it, junior, are you interested in coming to my college......
