Chapter 354: Assignment and Discrimination
"Normally, there is no major event, Ah Kuan will not inform me, and this time it is not him who will explain it, which means that he has no way to decide this matter at all." The man said. "Tell me, then, about you, young lady."
"I want to go up the spirit stone." Artoria said very calmly. "In three days, ten dollars."
“……”
"Miss, do you know what this means?" The man was silent for a long time before he asked.
"A promise of mine!" Artoria said solemnly when she heard this, and at the same time, a little light began to condense on her hands.
The Sword of Oath of Victory appears at the same time as the armor, and this is Artoria flexing her muscles.
"The power is good, but I can feel that the sword is really amazing, but that armor is just a relatively advanced spell." The man seemed to be able to make a certain degree of sense through spells, and he could see Artoria's reality at a glance, but that was all.
He just felt that he couldn't see through it, so he was very powerful, but he didn't know that no one could see through this sword......
"The sword...... I really can't see it and I can't see through it, hmm......" The man frowned and looked at Artoria. "I've seen quite a few Innate Spirit Treasures, but none of them can reach the level of this sword, so I'm sure you're not kidding."
Artoria said very seriously: "As long as it doesn't violate morality and etiquette, I can accomplish one thing for you, but within three days, the high-grade spirit stones must be in place." ”
"But...... Alas...... What is this Taoist friend called? The man smiled helplessly when he heard this.
"Artoria Pandoragon." Artoria never hides her name.
"Hmm...... I've never heard of such a surname...... It's okay to call you Miss Artoria, right? The man said. I am the lord of the Northland Ice Palace, Liu Sichen, and I am also the chief treasurer of the fourteen Jade Spirit Workshops of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, but my sect is subordinate to the Northland Alliance, and the main foundation is not over there, so the precious strategic resource of the top-grade spirit stone will not be placed in that kind of unsafe place casually. ”
"Can't you get it in three days?" Artoria asked, frowning.
"It's very difficult for us to transport the bulk of resources here, but I can find a way to use the Jade Spirit Workshop to transfer it to a few Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance sects that have good friendships, but we can't get ten pieces, and five pieces is the limit." Liu Sichen thought about it and said with a smile. "And, most importantly, we don't have to use five high-grade spirit stones as a reward! Miss Artoria! ”
"Five dollars is fine, my promise can be fulfilled at any time." Artoria thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm...... As much as I think you are a credible and decent monk, trust alone is not enough for this kind of big business. Liu Sichen said. We don't want to violate morality and etiquette, but there are always things in this world that require shady means, don't they? ”
"Unjustified bullying and massacres are immoral in any way." Artoria said with a frown. "This is the bottom line, I will never move, old and young, women and children, at least I must be an opponent who can resist or match me!"
"Hahahaha! Miss Artoria, you're really interesting! Liu Sichen laughed and said. I've never seen a monk like you! Those guys always say one thing and do another, and when it comes to actual interests, there is no bottom line at all! But you ...... I think your words are serious. ”
"Of course." Artoria nodded. "Tell me your requirements and goals, as well as your general strength, and I'll do it."
"Okay......" Liu Sichen thought for a while and said his request.
"Is that so...... No problem, but I'll have to pay for a spirit stone first. Artoria thought for a moment and said.
"I'm sorry, but that's hard to do." Liu Sichen shook his head and said. "It's not that I don't trust you, but every high-grade spirit stone is a valuable strategic resource, and that guy is really troublesome, so I can't take any chances. It will also take time to mobilize the spirit stones, at least a day later, and I believe you should be able to complete this commission during this time. And as long as you have proven your strength by completing this commission, how dare we not deliver what you have earned? ”
"Well, I'll bring things here in two days at the latest." Artoria nodded, then turned to leave.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Liu Sichen asked again. "I wonder where Miss Artoria studied at?"
“…… Holy Council. Artoria thought about it, and felt that most of her current strength was still piled up by the resources of the Holy Council, so she replied.
"Holy Council? Haven't heard of this alliance...... I wonder if Miss Artoria has any plans to send me the Northern Alliance temporarily? Liu Sichen suggested. If Miss Artoria can complete this commission and prove her strength, then as long as you are willing to temporarily attach yourself to my Northern Alliance, the remaining five high-grade spirit stones are not negotiable. ”
"......," Artoria closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, before finally speaking. I can't decide on this, so I'll have to discuss it with my companions. ”
"Companions? How are your companions compared to you? Liu Sichen asked.
"Hmm......" Artoria frowned and thought for a moment of distress, then sighed and shook her head. Probably, I'm the weakest......"
Kusta Heavenly Evil Ellie has a proper true king-level combat power, and the Moore ceiling breaks through the sky and is a humanoid strategic-level decisive battle weapon, and Zhao Tianhe's strength is now a proper true king-level combat power, that is, the combat time is shorter than that of Kusta.
Awu's strength, Artoria has also learned that she is ashamed, and even Elle can release the explosive power of the treasure far beyond Artoria's magic power......
Looking at Artoria's expression, Liu Sichen couldn't help but be a little moved, he could see that the girl seemed to be a little depressed, obviously not lying.
"So, are you going to complete that task together?" Liu Sichen asked again.
"You don't need it, do you? Listening to what you said, the situation feels quite weak. Artoria shook her head. I'll have one enough. ”
Liu Sichen froze for a moment when he heard this, lowered his head and pondered, thinking about whether the words he had used inappropriately when explaining the task just now had made the other party misunderstand something.
After all, that goal should be so much better than himself......
However, when he looked up again, Artoria had already left the chamber.
“…… Forget it, it's clear if you talk big and look at the results. Liu Sichen sighed, always feeling a little unhappy.
Artoria's invisibly compulsive style seemed to overwhelm her more than one point......
Outside the secret room, the second shopkeeper Ah Kuan saw Artoria walk out, and hurriedly went up and asked, "Miss Artoria, how did you talk with the shopkeeper?" ”
"You should have an easy way to communicate, right? In short, the specific orders should be given to him soon. Artoria thought for a moment and said. You guys can get your stuff ready as soon as possible...... By the way, high-grade spirit stones can't be used as deposits, ordinary belongings are always okay, right? Can you give me some of the currency here, just gold and silver coins or something? ”
"Oh, of course you can." The second shopkeeper Ah Kuan nodded. "I'll get some preparations in a moment, but then again, Miss Artoria, you're a foreign monk, aren't you? And just arrived? So ......"
"Your shopkeeper has already said this, I will consider it, and I will give you an answer when the time comes, and the most important thing now is to complete the transaction." Artoria said lightly.
"Okay, I see." Seeing Artoria, she didn't seem to want to say more, so the second shopkeeper, Ah Kuan, didn't ask any more.
The two returned to the store, and Ah Kuan ordered Artoria to be given two hundred gold coins, which was already one-tenth of the store's working capital, which was enough to buy a seven-story building in real estate.
Ah Kuan wanted to ask if he wanted to save it in the money bank and exchange it for a golden ticket to make it easy to carry, but he saw Artoria casually receive the coin into the space equipment, and then left.
"That's a storage weapon? Sure enough, it's a senior monk......" Ah Kuan was shocked again when he saw this scene.
Then he received a message from the headquarters of Jade Spirit Fang......
Huangtian City is also one of the cities that can mobilize to come to the top grade spirit stones.
On the other side, Artoria came to the old woman from before and put down a gold coin directly.
Although the grandmother desperately refused, Artoria still only took a bunch of cold skewers and left.
"Girl! I'm going to come back more often! The old woman waved her hand with teary eyes, and this gold coin almost topped her net profit for two years.
Artoria waved her hand, holding a bunch of food while eating and smelling, found a restaurant and ordered a large table of dishes, and then picked up her mobile phone and began to contact Zhao Tianhe.
After explaining the general situation on his side, Zhao Tianhe was also very happy.
"Since there is hope, then you might as well lean over with Kusta, anyway, let's get the spirit stone first!" Zhao Tianhe said.
"So what's going on with you?" Artoria asked again.
"My side...... The situation is a bit complicated now......" Zhao Tianhe shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this.
To be honest, he didn't expect things to turn out like this......
Things went back to an hour ago, when Artoria had just begun to investigate along the street, and Zhao Tian and them had already flown to the location of the Hundred Beast Gate of Cuiping Mountain.
After all, at their speed, fifty kilometers is like a joke, something that can be done in a few minutes.
The scenery of Cuiping Mountain is quite magnificent, and the continuous mountains form a huge mountain range shaped like a screen.
The Hundred Beasts Gate is located in the basin in the center of Cuiping Mountain, and the huge complex of buildings can be seen from the air at a glance.
"Who is the Daoyou?" A shrill voice came. "Why did you come to my Hundred Beast Gate?"
Zhao Tianhe, who was enjoying the mountain scenery, heard the words and looked over, but saw more than a dozen big birds with colorful fur flying towards him under the leadership of a strong man with wings of the same color on his back, and it was this person who asked questions.
"We are a group of monks from the Holy Council." Zhao Tianhe had already thought of the most basic approach and spoke. "I'm here to negotiate a big deal with the master of the Hundred Beast Sect."
Needless to say, Zhao Tianhe plans to use his own civil spell book to do business, of course, if he can, let alone a low-level civil spell, he doesn't care if it is a lethal tenth-level spell, as long as the other party agrees to give a high-grade spirit stone.
Anyway, as long as the magic net is not spread out on this planet, then there are very few people who can learn spells above level six.
"Big deal?" The monk with wings on his back glanced at Zhao Tianhe, then at the white-haired dog ear girl on the back of the heavenly evil, and finally fixed his eyes on Ah Wu.
"This wolf-blooded wild demon is not enough to shine, but I haven't even seen this rare beast, but since it can take off and look funny, it's also a bit valuable." The birdman commented on Ah Wu. "But with this level of rare beast, it's not a big deal......"
Zhao Tianhe was embarrassed when he heard this, Tianye was unhappy, and Moore Elle and the three wanted to laugh a little.
And Ah Wu has straight eyes, his mouth is pursed, and the hair on his body is standing upside down, and he is so angry that he is trembling with fat......
"Do you say that again?! What do you call me?! Ah Wu stared at the birdman with his eyes slowly soaring into the air.
"Oh! This precious beast has opened its mind?! Is it a monster?! That's worth it! It's a big deal! The birdman looked at Zhao Tianhe and nodded with a smile. But you're not good at training monsters, you dare to shout at people like this, it's no problem for me to teach you a lesson, right? ”
Zhao Tianhe covered his face and didn't dare to look at the next development......
In his previous life, Ah Wu was fighting for the race, rising at the cost of his life, and it has always been his dream to integrate into the Holy Council with equal rights with others.
He likes Zhao Tianhe, likes Kusta, and likes everyone, mainly because he feels that even if he becomes a weak, pitiful and helpless child, they are still very good to him and respect him.
However, now the other party clearly does not treat himself as a person!
"Ah! I'm going to do it! "Ah Wu still cares about Zhao Tian and his own life-saving benefactor.
"Oh? This fat little beast is also interesting! Seeing this, the birdman laughed, and with a flick of his right hand, a strange rune was drawn, and a hollow bone flute on his index finger emitted a piercing chirp.
Next, I saw the dozen or so big birds flying towards Ah Wu.
"Crazy also has to have capital, in the sky to confront my Hundred Beast Gate Wing Man Tiancai, you guy is really dead! Hahaha~~" Winged Man Tiancai smiled arrogantly, and waved the bone flute to give orders to those big birds. "Color-winged Heavenly Army, leave this little beast half a life!"
"Alas...... Don't die. Seeing this, Zhao Tianhe sighed helplessly and said.
Not to mention Ah Wu in this situation, he is a little angry, but angry is angry, and it is not good to kill people casually.
Ah Wu's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, this was his performance when he entered the battle state.
Winged Man Tiancai watched his dozen or so precious demon beasts surging up to kill Ah Wu, and he was quite reluctant, because he felt that this little beast was really cute, and it was not beautiful if it was beaten to a blur of flesh and blood.
But how can this wild child be used without training? Wingman Tiancai was still ruthless and did not change the order.
However, the next moment an unexpected scene happened......
I saw that the dozen or so flying birds and monsters had all turned into a pile of meat sauce out of thin air!
"That's the only one that doesn't kill, right?" Ah Wu stared at Wingman Tiancai and said.
"Well, we're not robbers and villains, just teach us a lesson." Zhao Tianhe nodded when he heard this.
Wingman Tiancai opened his mouth wide, staring at the slowly falling flesh and feathers like an idiot, and then looked at Ah Wu.
"Impossible! What kind of monster are you?! My Colorful Winged Heavenly Army is the number one ...... of the Hundred Beast Sect" Winged Man Tiancai shouted in disbelief with wide eyes, but before he could finish his words, he only felt that his whole body was suppressed by a huge force, and then there was a shocking explosion!
Ah Wu directly used the gravity field to pinch off the whole body bones of this thing!
Of course, the internal organs were not injured at all, and even ordinary people should be able to recover from this injury as long as they lay down for two or three years, and the time required in this world with immortal arts and pills will only be shorter.
So both Zhao Tianhe and Ah Wu are quite indifferent to this, just a small punishment.
"You...... You ......" However, this winged man Tiancai actually cried directly, and even became incontinent!
"The smell is too big, you're a monk anyway, what do you eat every day?! It's not a fairy wind bone, and it can't be like an old cat, right? Zhao Tianhe was a little unhappy, and cast a spell casually, summoning a ball of water, and drenching it into a boneless chicken.
"Who's the demon?! How dare you spread wild in my Hundred Beast Gate! At this time, a magnificent roar suddenly sounded, and Zhao Tianhe and the others turned their heads to look, but it was a burly strong man who took off from below.
This strong man was wearing a colorful beast skin coat, Zhao Tianhe couldn't think of any similar beast with such fur, but he could feel a faint majesty from it.
The white-haired dog on the back of the heavenly evil next to her smelled this breath, and hugged the heavenly evil nervously, and let out a helpless low roar and threatening sound, it seems that this thing should be the fur of some kind of beast unique to this world.
"Heavenly ...... Celestial! My son Tiancai was tortured like this by you! You demons! Evil Sect crooked! A demon that everyone gets and is punished! The strong man roared excitedly, and his body began to swell.
Although this strong man looks like he is only in his early thirties, and Tiancai looks almost no different from him, this world is a world of cultivating immortals after all, and it shouldn't be difficult to freeze his youth forever or something.
And just as the colorful hair on the strong man's body began to grow rapidly and merge with himself, a huge palm slapped at his side.
Rumble!
With the ensuing sonic boom, the strong man crashed directly into the Hundred Beast Gate not far away......
Several buildings were directly smashed, but the strong man still smashed into the ground without stopping until he barely stopped......
Zhao Tianhe shook his head as if he wanted to say something, and the Heavenly Evil on the side slowly swelled into a fighting state.
"Look at what scares my little white? This old ghost is so ignorant! Heavenly Evil roared in a very unhappy tone.
However, the white-haired canine ear girl behind him was already scared by him and cried......
