Chapter 19 Balance

The top third floor of the dark blue is Su Helen's exclusive area, and idlers are not allowed to enter. If you want to enter, the magic golems that wander between the layers have the strength equivalent to that of a fifteenth-level warrior, and they will attack an intruder that is not recorded in the magic core. As long as you can defeat these puppets, challenge a dozen Magisters, and finally knock down Su Helen, you can ransack the legendary mage's lair at will. At least in theory.

The Legendary Mage is quite a person who likes a sense of space, so she occupies a huge space by herself. At this time, in a corner of the exclusive area, intermittent screams echoed. In the dark and long corridor, the screams echoed endlessly, making the unsuspecting creepy to the bones. The few who know about it have a different reaction entirely.

Minnie Mouse emerges from the end of the corridor and walks briskly. She was still a girl after all, and her hurried steps, pursed lips, slightly frowning eyebrows, and slightly tense body seemed to be ready to dodge or something, and she seemed to dislike the dimness and gloom of the corridor. But this area is based on the theme of darkness, gloom, and dampness, and it is always the right decision of His Royal Highness Su Helen himself, so no one dares to raise objections. At this time, a faint scream sounded in the corridor again, and Minnie recognized the voice as belonging, and a sneer appeared on her lips, and she spat hard.

At the end of the dark area, there is a prison area covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, with more than 10 large and small prison cells of different functions. In the center of a cell, Randolph was hanging on a torture rack with his limbs stretched out, his clothes stripped naked, and a ** upper body jailer was wielding a five-meter-long whip and whipping Randolph's body at once. The jailer was a black man, his knotted muscles were greased and reflected in the greasy light, and the corners of his leather shorts were frayed, and they were stained with large dark brown stains, the blood of some unknown person or creature.

If you can ignore the violence and gore in front of you, you will find that the jailer is extraordinarily skillful, the long whip shakes out a complex trajectory in the air, crackles, and then falls on Randolph's white and tender ass with a whistling and terrifying wind, leaving bright red bruises on both sides. The bruises are high and swollen, but they don't rupture, so they don't hurt too much, and they can add up to the pain exponentially. The jailer stood four meters away, wielding a five-meter-long whip, but the whip marks left by the whip on Randolph's white buttocks were evenly distributed, filling almost every open space that could be filled, with only occasional staggered marks, but no broken skin. From a distance, it looks like a Fauvist abstract painting, filled with countless messy blocks of color and lines, but it shows an indescribable beauty. This skill has been perfected. If this jailer is put outside, he can be regarded as a strong man.

Randolph's ass was already high and swollen, his face was intertwined with tears, snot and saliva, and his handsome face was distorted and messed. As an excellent son of an ancient aristocratic family, Randolph was by no means lacking in bravery and patience. But many of the punishments in the dark areas are prepared for purgatory demons, abyss devils, all kinds of dragonborn subspecies, and powerful races such as half-blood orcs and polar gray dwarves. For example, the jailer who whipped Randolph had already broken his will with the simplest whipping. It is important to know that the cell in which Randolph was hung was very large, and contained a total of sixteen sets of torture instruments, nine of which the jailer could use with skill.

The whipping was over, but Randolph's convulsions did not stop, and he could not even pass out unconscious. Severe pain struck, without peaks and valleys, without the slightest pause and pause, constantly hitting the dam edge of reason, as if the next moment it would go to the abyss of despair.

All the injuries were concentrated on the ass that Minnie had reminded him to focus on, so the great humiliation almost drove Randolph crazy, but fortunately he was also a strong-willed man, and he did not completely collapse until the end. But when the whipping was over, he no longer had the strength to feel humiliated, and in the course of the torture, something that embarrassed him even more happened. He only hoped that this matter would not be spread, and if it reached Su Hailun's ears, then his apprenticeship position would definitely not be guaranteed. The thought of life after being kicked out of the deep blue suddenly made Randolph feel a deep chill, and he didn't even dare to imagine what he would do in the future. From being high up to falling on the mud, this kind of drop is not something that everyone can afford. Now, Randolph finally discovered that what made him unique was not his appearance or talent, but the title of Suhelen's disciple and his family background.

For a moment, fear and remorse consumed Randolph's mind, making him forget to even curse Minnie's ass.

In one of Su Helen's favorite lounges, a dark-skinned slave with a height of more than 2 meters is hunched over, carrying a huge golden basin on his back, which is full of all kinds of fresh and rare fruits, some of which are fruitful**exude**The luster of the entrance, and some of which have strange shapes and strange colors, have everything, many of which are not produced in this season, and there are many products of heterogeneous planes. Inside the crystal cup at the top, there are several treasures that are usually guarded by super-level magical beasts. I am afraid that this large pot of fruit is dozens of kilograms, which is Su Hailun's snack today.

The black-skinned slave walked briskly along the gravel path with heavy steps, then through a leafy wood, and then over a large lawn in Guò, where he saw a few tables and chairs by the small lake. Compared with the eye-catching fruits and containers, the furniture has simple lines, and even the decoration is solid color, unpretentious, but at a glance it immediately makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Su Helen was lazily leaning on the soft couch, throwing fruits into her mouth one by one. There was an identical golden fruit pot beside him, which had bottomed out at the moment. The slave put down the pot, took the old one, and returned the way he came. It is said to be a lounge, but this area is more than 1,000 square meters, and it is equipped with a complete ecological and heating system, as if you are in the most comfortable mountain wilderness.

Five or six archmages were gathered around Su Hailun's soft couch, reporting on the important events of this time. In descending order, recent events are mainly financial balance, Randolph and Richard.

An archmage described the income and expenditure of the entire dark blue in winter in concise and fast language, and before he finished speaking, a huge cherry that was being thrown towards Su Helen's small mouth suddenly stopped in the air, and then Su Helen's eyes were so bright that they stared at the body of the great mage, and the dragon-like coercion was instantly cast, making all the great mages present a little unstable on their feet.

"What did you say? We lost money last season?!"

This race of archmages in charge of finances is very different, and it is actually the mortal enemy of humanity: the polar gray dwarves. There are very few gray dwarves who have magical talents, and only a handful can cultivate to the level of a great mage. But the gray dwarf's wealth and delicate nature are perfect for keeping accounts. He immediately bowed his head slightly to avoid the direct gaze of the legendary mage, and replied cautiously: "Yes, but the loss is not large, less than 600,000 imperial gold coins.......

Su Helen immediately interrupted him: "That's also a loss! I remember that I had just robbed a few dragons in the middle of last year, and I still put some of my gains into the operation of Deep Blue." How can you still lose money? Have you found out why?"

"The reason has been found, but ......" The gray dwarf magister looked a little slurred and wanted to say nothing.

"Say!" Su Helen's voice raised again.

The gray dwarf gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "The reason is that you have been in a good mood for a while......"

The cherry continued its flight and disappeared into the depths of Helen Sue's small mouth. The legendary mage furrowed his beautiful little eyebrows, thought solemnly, and said slowly after a while, "But in the next period of time, my mood may be better." Let's put this aside for now, let's talk about the rest of the matter!"

Another human magister immediately stepped forward and said, "Randolph has been punished according to your orders, now what do you think should be done?"

"What about your Jianyì?" Su Hailun lazily played with a flower fruit in her hand, looking a little uninterested.

The human magister said, "His talent is still quite good, the overall rating is excellent, and he is the son of the Duke of Solam of the Holy Tree Dynasty, and Master Cruise has also affirmed his talent as a constructor, so my construction is to retain his apprenticeship." ”

The legendary mage snorted and said, "That Cruise is too embarrassed to call himself a master? And he even put the prefix "saint" in front of his name! Putting that aside, this old guy will see when people are ready! We already have a future great constructor, and this kind of half-level thing doesn't need to be cultivated, it's a waste of resources! We lost a lot of money last season! In this way, according to the original decision, send Randolph back. ”

"But he is the son of Duke Soram after all......" the human magister cautioned. Even in the Sacred Tree Dynasty, where the powerful are gathered, Duke Solam is a big man. The Duke himself also has three illustrious titles, such as Dragon Slayer, Troll Terminator, and Purgatory Hunter, and is only one step away from the legend, and he may step into the realm of legend at any time. If the two sides really turn hostile, Duke Solam will not necessarily lose to Su Helen.

Su Helen interrupted him with a wave of his hand impatiently, and said: "Randolph is Solam's son, but Solam doesn't have only one son! And in addition to Randolph's mother, Solam's remaining eleven wives will be on our side! Give them priority in the quota of this self-financed apprenticeship. As long as Soram pays half of the original sponsorship fee, he can get this spot. ”

"With this sponsorship fee, Deep Blue won't be in vain, right?" Su Helen turned to the gray dwarf, her face already full of anticipation.

The gray dwarf made a quick calculation, frowned, and said, "It's only enough to guarantee spring." Because you're definitely going to be in a better mood for the rest of the day. ”

Su Hailun became serious this time, grabbed her little hand in the fruit pot, but forgot to throw it into her mouth. She groaned, struggled, and finally said with some pain, "My feelings...... This one...... There is no way to control zhì. What to do now? Those dragons are already very poor, and I just visited them one by one last year, so I will definitely not gain anything by going there now. And they move farther and farther, and it's hard to find a ......."

"Or ...... Add another self-funded apprentice?" The gray dwarf tentatively built yì.

Before Su Helen could express his position, another elderly magister immediately objected: "This is not good! His Royal Highness Su Helen's apprenticeship is so noble and important, how can he sell it casually? If there are too many apprentices who do not match the name, it will be damaging to His Highness's reputation and the reputation of Deep Blue!"

"Reputation is a matter of the future, but the loss is just around the corner! What's more, as long as you can become an apprentice of Your Highness, even if it is only an apprentice at your own expense, you will definitely be fought for by countless geniuses. Can't you bear to see our youngest and most beautiful Highness not be able to do as he pleases? Besides, there is a future Grand Architect among His Highness's pupils! beside this dazzling sun, the other stars will be dim. The gray dwarf was almost jumping and yelling.

Su Helen raised her little hand again, so all the Magi stopped talking, but waited with bated breath for her decision.

After oscillating between deficit and reputation many times, Su Helen finally made a painful decision: "Just add another self-funded apprenticeship!"

In order to balance the burden of her mind, Su Helen immediately turned her attention to Richard and said, "Now, let's take a look at what the future Saint Constructors have done. ”

The financial pressure immediately elevated Richard's prospects from a great constructor to a holy constructor.
