Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Complicated Situation
"I agree to participate in this operation, but I have one request!" Xu Yue said calmly to the people in the conference room.
"Conditions?" said in a somewhat mocking voice, "Master Xu Yue, are you a little too greedy, and you still talk about conditions when we give us such a generous reward?"
Xu Yue glanced at Count Weima, who had found an opportunity to start jumping up and down, and said coldly: "Count Weima, are you too lenient?" It's me who participates in this mission, not you, and even the reward for the mission is paid by Black Rock City's officials, not you. I don't think it's too much to risk my life to carry out such an almost life-or-death mission and make a few demands!"
"You ......" Count Weimar was choked by Xu Yue's words, and his face was flushed and he wanted to refute something.
"All right, Count Weimar, the next negotiations are no longer within your responsibility. If it's okay, I want you to be able to watch quietly for the rest of the day. Ralph unceremoniously interrupted Count Weimar.
Then, he ignored the angry Count Weima, who was flushed with anger, and turned his head and said, "Master Xu Yue, you can put forward your own requirements, but these requirements must be within a reasonable range, and we will not accept excessive conditions." "
"Of course!" Xu Yue said with a slight debt to Ralph, "The principle of equivalent exchange is the trading principle that all magicians believe in. "
After thinking for a moment, he continued: "My condition is that I want to turn the rewards directly given to the items into corresponding purchase permissions. This means that I can use gold to buy things on the reels, and the rewards for the quest become the right to buy them. Of course, the amount is definitely more than the number of directly rewarded items. "
"Ridiculous! Do you know that those items are things that money can't buy in the market? You want to rely on some gold coins ......," Count Weimar next to him couldn't help but sarcastically say again.
"Well, Count Weimar, I think you're tired too, so you don't have to attend this meeting. Ralph interrupted him again, his tone already tinged with anger. Count Ralph, who had been playing a negative role since the beginning of the meeting, was already a little disgusted.
Count Weimar was blushing at Ralph's words, but he didn't dare to show dissatisfaction with Ralph. Whether in terms of status or strength, Ralph is second only to the city lord in Black Rock City, and it is far from being comparable to him. After forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, he didn't dare to say anything more, but left the headquarters with a bit of a wolf after giving a military salute.
It's just that no one saw that after Count Weimar left the headquarters, the angry expression on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a somewhat gloomy calmness. He went to his own cart and asked the driver to pull him back to his Earl's Palace.
After returning to his study, Count Weimar closed the door to his study. He then walked over to an armored sculpture by the fireplace, where he reached into the sculpture's helmet and turned the decoration on the top of one of the stands. Then I saw the fireplace in the room suddenly flip into the wall next to it.
When the fireplace is fully flipped to the side, a low aisle behind the fireplace is revealed. Count Weimar slumped down the aisle. After walking a distance of four or five meters, the space in front of me suddenly became clear. It was a small house that seemed to be only about 20 square meters, and the room was very poorly furnished, with only a bed and a set of tables and chairs, and paper and pens were placed on top of the tables and chairs, and a mysterious man with a dark cloak was sitting at the table.
Count Weimar walked quickly to the mysterious man's side and said, "The situation has changed, the upper echelons of Black Rock City want to take a risk, they plan to send a team of elite warriors and third-level magicians to raid the supply base of the trolls, if they succeed, our plan is likely to fail." "
The man in black at the table sat up straight after hearing his words, and a deep voice came from under his hood.
"You should try to stop it. Although the chances of success of this plan are not high, if they succeed, it will be bad news for us in the Kingdom of Gruni. This time, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to use trolls to consume the strength of the Xia Kingdom, and if it couldn't inflict a certain amount of heavy damage on the Xia Kingdom, it would be a waste of such a good opportunity. "
Count Weimar said with a somewhat gloomy face, "I have tried my best to stop it. But you also know that in the battle for the city gate in the last life, the official we bought to manage one of the keys to the city gate was exposed. Although we tried to kill that stupid person in advance, it already aroused Ralph's suspicions. If I make it too obvious, it's easy for Ralph to look at us. "
After hearing his words, the mysterious man was silent for a while, and then said, "If he already has doubts, why did he tell such an important plan at the reconference meeting this time?"
A cold light flashed in Count Weimar's eyes and said, "I'm afraid this is Ralph's cleverness." I suspect that Ralph's move this time is not really to put his hopes on this elite team, but to secretly arrange something else. The reason why he said his plan so openly is probably to lure us out. At the same time, use this elite squad on the bright side to attract people's attention, so as to cover his real arrangement in the dark. "
"Impotence?" the mysterious man nodded and said, "It's very likely." Whether we guessed his plan or not, the news of the elite squad had to be sent to the trolls, and even if the trolls were on guard, the attention on the surface would be taken away by the squad. And he can not only do things secretly, but he may also find us out. It's really calculating, and he is worthy of being a commander who survived the bloody battlefield. I just don't know what his secret trick is?"
Count Weimar shook his head and said, "I don't know that. Ralph has always acted in a strategic way, and almost no one can guess what he is going to do until the moment his hole cards are turned over. This time, he can be said to be persecuting us with an upright scheme, and the next thing is how we should deal with it. "
A low laugh came from under the hood of the mysterious man, "Interesting. We don't need to do anything, we just pass the message to the trolls as the other person thinks. It's not up to us to deal with the trolls, and we can't command them. "
"Are we just going to have to follow the path Ralph has given us? If he really succeeds in his plan, maybe he will be able to solve Black Rock City's predicament. In that case, the blow to the Kingdom of Chia would be much smaller. If the trolls were able to capture all four major cities in the province of Calando in the Kingdom of Chia, it would be a big blow to the Kingdom of Chia. I think Your Majesty and the adults would love to see that. "
The mysterious man sneered and said, "No matter what calculations Ralph has, under the absolute difference in strength, they are just some small calculations. Don't forget that the trolls' allies have given these trolls a lot of help, and Ralph, who is trapped in Black Rock City, will never know that those troll allies have secretly sent a lot of forces to support the trolls outside Black Rock City. After all, Black Rock is the most likely city to be the first to be breached. "
After listening to the mysterious man's words, Count Weimar nodded and said, "In that case, we just need to pass on the news." However, now that Black Rock City has been completely blocked, the air is shrouded in a magic array that detects flying objects, and the Faith Eagle cannot be used. If you want to deliver the news, you can only rely on your subordinates to send the news through the secret channel. "
The mysterious man nodded and said, "No problem, the secret passage is still very safe." We're going to get the word out. "
Count Weimar walked to the table and picked up the paper and wrote something quickly, and then he took a button with a complex pattern from an inconspicuous place in the inside of his sleeve, and after wiping this button on the ink, he printed the button directly on the paper with the words written, and a strange and ornate seal suddenly appeared on the paper.
The mystery man looked at the note, nodded, and put it in his pocket. Then he came to one of the walls of the hut, and after a few clicks on a few inconspicuous places on the wall, a secret door appeared on the wall, and he pushed it open and walked in.
After watching the mysterious man leave, Count Weimar sat on the chair at the table and thought for a while, and then left the place through the aisle of the fireplace. Suddenly the small room fell into silence and darkness.
Xu Yue didn't know that his mission this time involved such a complicated internal story, and he was bargaining with Ralph at this time. In order to be able to buy more 'Inheritance Orbs', he has already tried his best to fight for them. In the end, the result of the negotiation made him quite satisfied.
If this mission is completed, he will be able to purchase eight Level 2 'Inheritance Orbs' and five Level 3 Inheritance Orbs for 400,000 gold coins. These orbs of inheritance all contain the basics of the various second- and third-level mages that he continued. And the number of these 'Inheritance Orbs' has reached about eighty percent of the 'Inheritance Orbs' in the optional rewards given by Black Rock City.
Under Xu Yue's hard work, he could purchase four second-level 'Inheritance Orbs' in advance as a prepaid reward before he went out. After all, their mission this time is almost to play with their lives, and it is unknown whether they will be able to come back alive. If you die outside, it means that you don't get the reward and take your life. If you don't give some benefits in advance, I'm afraid no one in the array will want to run away so stupidly.
After paying a large sum of gold coins, Xu Yue got the four second-level 'inheritance orbs' that he had selected. These were carefully selected by him, and they not only contained some basic knowledge to be learned by a second-level mage, but could even make up for the magic knowledge he lacked at the first-level intermediate level or above.
With these basic knowledge as support, he could advance to a second-level magician in a short period of time without suppressing his spiritual power. Of course, because the knowledge he chooses is the most basic part of the level, and there is no advanced knowledge at all. Therefore, even if he is promoted to a second-level mage, he will not be able to use a variety of support magic like other second-level mages, but can only build one or two of the simplest second-level attack magic.
But Xu Yue was not worried about this. He had carefully considered the dangers of this mission many times beforehand. Perhaps this task was extremely dangerous for Aldrich and a few other mages, but for him, who possessed a level 5 defensive magic and a boundary gate, the danger could be said to have been minimized. Even if he is really unlucky enough to be besieged by the trolls, he can still escape by relying on the boundary gate to escape first, and wait until the trolls retreat before going back to complete the task.
Even with the two crossing points he could replace at will, he had a good chance of bypassing those trolls and completing the mission. As for whether the Boundary Gate will be exposed to the eyes of the trolls, Xu Yue is no longer worried after learning a lot about Talumia's high-level magic, you must know that teleportation magic similar to the Boundary Gate is not rare, and when the time comes, he directly deduces that he is using a magic scroll with teleportation magic, and it is impossible for others to suspect anything.
After agreeing on a date with several high-ranking members of the military, Xu Yue returned to the hotel with four second-level 'inheritance orbs'. The date is one day later, and he must absorb the knowledge in the four second-level 'inheritance orbs' in one day and advance to the second-level mage, which can greatly improve his self-preservation ability in this mission.
Time flew by, and a day later, Xu Yue and several other magicians who had accepted the task gathered again. The method of going out of the city this time was the same as the method used by Xu Yue to rescue Aiwo last time, a bottle of 'stealth potion' and combined with the 'slow fall technique', Xu Yue and the three third-level mages jumped off the city wall, accompanied by six fifth-level warriors from the military, each of them carried a sufficient amount of 'magic burning potion', which would produce extremely high temperature flames after coming into contact with the air, which not only burned for a long time and had a large area, but also was very difficult to extinguish.
Just as Xu Yue and the others relied on the effect of the 'stealth potion' to carefully bypass the patrol force of the troll siege and march towards the jungle, inside one of the troll's big tents, a man wearing a black cloak and a hood was handing a small wooden cylinder the thickness of a finger in his hand to a one-armed troll.
After reading the information on the note in the wooden tube, the one-armed troll touched the severed arm that had grown one-fifth by his own regeneration ability with a somewhat hateful expression, and said to himself with a sneer: "Magician?
At the same time, a large number of strong, tall creatures arrived in the troll camp in the night, their green skin and troll blue skin were distinct, but the two parties did quickly merge together after meeting, and after a short exchange, these green-skinned creatures were placed on the side of the troll camp, which was right near the troll supply point.
In the command hall of Black Rock City, after receiving the news that the elite team had left the city, Ralph, as the commander-in-chief, also began to frequently dispatch troops, and for a while, a tense atmosphere quietly shrouded Black Rock City and the troll's camp.
