Thor looked at Hayden with his remaining right eye, and saw his face fade little by little.

According to Saul's understanding, Hayden, who is cowering in the corpse and does not attend classes, does not study, and does not progress, probably wants to wait for the age of thirty to live a free and low-key life after leaving the Wizard Tower.

But the reality is not as rosy as imagined.

The closed Hayden finally gets in touch with the truth he has been not aware of.

His whole body was depressed, his body shook, and he pressed one hand on the tool table, and the neatly arranged tools were messy.

Just like his mood at this time.

"I said don't hide, don't hide, you coward, it's over now! It's over, right? Hayden, who was pale in face, suddenly opened his mouth and said something that did not match his expression at all.

Looking at Hayden like this, Thor raised his hand and pinched his chin, pondering.

After being a neighbor for two years, he had long discovered that there were some problems with Hayden's personality, and he seemed to have evolved a second personality. I don't know if it's the effects of witchcraft radiation, or if it's his own inner disease.

At first, Saul didn't bother with it, but in this collaboration, he suddenly felt that Hayden was actually a good assistant.

There is no superfluous curiosity, the basic knowledge is solid, and the Tier 0 witchcraft library is almost 100% unlocked by him. He has a lot of experience in experiments, and he doesn't know how many guests he has handled.

The most important thing is that there is no force behind Hayden.

Thor lowered his hand and crossed his index finger.

"Senior Hayden, I'll give you a choice. Do you want to leave the Wizard Tower at the age of thirty, or work hard in the last two years to make it to the third level? ”

Saul's question made Hayden's restraint for so many years loosen a little, but thinking of his own situation, he was discouraged again.

"Thor, I'm 28 years old. The two years you said are really only two years. ”

Saul didn't force Hayden either, he glanced back at the human body display cases all over the wall, "If you change your mind and want to give it a final try, you can come to me." ”

Thor walked out the door, "If you want to try, you can put an eye outside the door, I see it, come back to you." ”

"You? Do you want to help me? Hayden gasped and looked at Thor, who was only fourteen, feeling a little ridiculous, but he couldn't help but believe it.

"Do your best." Thor shrugged and pulled open the door to the morgue.

His white joints were unusually visible against the scarlet gate.

Leaving the morgue, Thor saw that the time was almost up, and went to Kukin's bedroom to make an implicit agreement.

"Your eyes ......" Kujin pushed open the door and saw Thor who was fine yesterday turned into a one-eyed dragon today.

"A little experimental accident, out of the way." Thor said casually.

When Thor walked into the room, Kukin closed the door from the outside, leaving him outside.

Thor was stunned and immediately turned to open the door.

As his hand touched the doorknob, a voice came from the direction of the bedroom.

"Don't be nervous, Kujin didn't come in because I was the one who wanted to talk to you about cooperation."

When he turned around, he saw Ferguson, who had taken off his pants last night.

Sol showed an appropriate amount of dazedness and vigilance on his face, "Senior, who are you?" Is there anything looking for me? ”

"Sit down." Ferguson pointed to the table and chairs in the living room, "I'm used to sitting down and talking. ”

"Is it because you can't stand?" Thor thought to himself, hesitantly stepping over to the chair closest to the door and sitting down.

Ferguson sat down across from Saul, looking like he was about to negotiate.

"I don't know what you are capable of taking over the position of Kujin for a few years." Ferguson raised his chin and looked at Saul, "But I've always had an agreement with Kujin that I'll give credits or whatever else Kujin needs, and Kujin will provide me with materials that are unique to the second treasury." ”

So straightforward?

Thor puffed out his chest, "That was your deal with Kukin, and now that he's out of the vault, I don't have the ability to continue trading with you like he did." ”

Thor didn't say anything stupid: "You guys are stealing materials from the warehouse?" ”

It's okay to pretend to be stupid, but it's fake if you're too stupid.

Ferguson didn't beat around the bush either, "What are your concerns?" ”

"Metal Gate, since you have already made a transaction, you should know that the door will automatically judge the content of the task. Anything that has not been written with a summons pen cannot be transported out of the storeroom at all. ”

"We can help you with the transportation problem. So what questions do you have? ”

We?

Did you secretly show me that Cunn was among them, or was there another partner?

Thor pondered for a few seconds, "What can you offer?" ”

"The most basic magic crystals, credits, and since you have taken over the task of the warehouse, you will definitely not be able to go out for a long time, so the mission of going out is basically not related to you. If you need anything and the wizard's tower doesn't have one, you can ask me and I can help you find it. ”

Thor clasped his hands on his chest, leaned back in his chair, and thought to himself, "The flatbread is round enough." ”

"And what do you need me to transport? Declare in advance that I won't touch anything that has a number, even if you promise to help me solve the corresponding troubles. ”

Ferguson's hand tapped lightly on the armrest, "Naturally we won't touch the taboo." Just ask for something ordinary. We want to work together for a long time. ”

This time, Saul began to think about it.

"How can I be sure that after trading with you, people won't secretly report it?"

"Hahaha......" Ferguson leaned back, "what's the use of reporting?" As long as you say that you used it yourself, will the tutor still go to the missing materials one by one? ”

Ferguson held up a finger at Thor and shook it gently, "You don't have to think about reporting it. First, we've been doing this for many years, and second, the mentor is actually aware of it. We are also not greedy, and we do not stupidly touch the bottom line of the mentors. ”

It seems that these guys have been smuggling materials for a long time, but I'm afraid some of those words just now were just for Thor.

Even if Saul hadn't overheard the conversation between the two, he wouldn't have taken Ferguson's words to heart.

"I know about it, but I need a little time to think about it." Thor glanced at the hourglass clock on the wall and stood up, "It's almost three o'clock, I'm back in the storeroom." ”

Ferguson didn't stand up, but his face was slightly gloomy, and he folded his hands to cover his mouth.

"Thor, I think there's one thing you have to understand. We are not wandering wizards, we are not lone wolves in the wasteland. It is normal to cooperate in the short or long term to achieve certain goals. Otherwise, why do you think Lord Gorsa built the Wizard Tower? After all, a person's power is limited. ”

Thor bowed his head slightly, "I understand what you mean, but it's also because I'm thinking about cooperation, so I'm more cautious." If I easily agreed to everything, you would be worried about me cheating, wouldn't you? ”

Thor added, "What do you want?" ”

Ferguson pouted, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "For the sake of secrecy, I will only tell you the moment before you enter the storeroom." If you haven't left the storeroom for a long time, or come out without what we need. Our transaction will be terminated immediately. ”

Not giving Thor time to prepare, apparently also to prevent him from having time to play tricks.

It's just that they don't know that Thor has already heard their plans.

Thor propped himself on his knees, stood up and said, "Well, it seems that what you want is not simple. ”

Ferguson's expression was stunned, he didn't want Thor to think like this, and quickly explained, "The materials that can enter the Wizard's Tower storehouse are naturally not simple. If I don't tell you in advance, I'm afraid of some accidents. ”

He tried to change the subject.

"You'd better not waste us too long. Get back to us by tomorrow night, or we might have to switch to someone we work with. ”

Thor's smile instantly cooled, "Another one?" How to change? Are you threatening me? ”

Confronted by a second-level apprentice, Ferguson's anger burned. But when he pressed his hands on the armrests and tried to stand up, his movements changed from holding to grasping.

"It's not a threat," he suppressed, clenching the handrail as if to break it, "just a necessary reminder." ”

After Ferguson softened, Saul instantly changed his face and said with a smile: "Thank you seniors for reminding me, then I'll go first." ”

Only this time he didn't promise to think about it.
