Curt didn't rush to introduce himself, because he knew that Kelly must have looked into herself. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) So Curt just leaned his turquoise staff to his lap, tapped his index finger on the table, and said:

"Please say hello to Mr. Black Hand for me and thank him for his concern. As an obscure little person, his concern scared me. ”

"You're so polite, Curt. ”

Kelly chuckled as if she thought it was amused, and as she took her glass and poured Curt a glass of wine. As she moves deforms and bounces, it's hard to be ignored. As Curt leaned back in his chair, Kelly said with a smile:

"You've been an obscure apprentice until yesterday when you made a name for yourself at the certification ceremony for your mage qualifications. In order to prevent you from inheriting the Black Tower, Inquisitor Olga has made a lot of small moves behind her back. But he is still played with by you and has become the laughing stock of his peers. Not only that, but you also got rid of Randolph who challenged you on the same day. Randolph's death isn't a surprise, but your aftermath is beautiful. ”

With that, Kelly picked up the glass and took a sip of her wine. Curt looked at her indifferently, and motioned with his eyes for the other party to continue.

"Randolph's body was found this morning, frozen to the point where a dog could not chew on it. Someone saw him running in the snow laughing wildly last night, and he also took off his clothes one by one. 'It's hot', these were Randolph's last words. He died a horrible death, intimidating all potential opponents for you. Now the juniors among the mages have curled up, and they no longer have delusions about the Black Tower. Those who are capable also decide to wait and see, lest they become the second unlucky ones to kick the iron plate. ”

"Something about Randolph...... Do you want to just bring it with you?"

Curt turned the ring on his ring finger and asked nonchalantly. Curt laughed as Kelly pretended not to know why. He rudely cocked his foot on the table and kicked over the glass. With the sound of the cup rolling to the floor, Curt said coldly:

"Randolph, an old scoundrel, a maggot huddled in the slums. Even if he sells him, he won't be able to get back half a strong acid arrow scroll made by a high-level mage. Do you want me to believe that there is no one behind him? Where did Randolph get the news that I had run out of spells in order to win my mage qualification? He has a lot of friends? So why is he still living like a dog? Isn't there a plan set up by someone to deal with me and squeeze Randolph dry by the way?"

“...... When talking about cooperation, we better forget about the unhappiness of the past. ”

In the face of Curt's sharp accusations, Kelly appeared somewhat passive. She didn't expect the young man in front of her to be so keen, so she could only say as calmly as possible:

"Indeed, you were once a hot prey. Getting rid of you and receiving Abyss's legacy is an attractive idea, and it's not just the Thieves' Guild that intends to do so. ”

"In fact, you are the only ones who dare to put plans into action. You arranged for Randolph to attack me, and then set up an ambush on his way to death, intending to kill people and take all the benefits without knowing it. I think the Inquisitors would be interested in that. Who will Mr. Black Hand throw out to blame? I'm really curious. ”

"Correct you, no one knows if the black hand is Mr. or Ms. Plus, you can't afford the consequences of doing so. ”

Kelly's attitude changed in an instant, her spine straightened, and confidence spilled out of her body to every inch of her skin. Curt nodded thoughtfully, secretly grabbing all the sparks of Kelly's thoughts. He deliberately provoked the other party in exchange for Kylie reminding him of the dark sides of the Thieves' Guild. After seeing Curt fall silent, Kelly softened and said:

"Of course, you're an official mage with a mage tower, and we don't want to have a conflict with you, so I'm here to talk to you about cooperation today. ”

"Until then, I'll have to get your compensation. Again, don't want me to ignore Randolph. Since we are trading partners, it is common sense to compare the baht and respect each other. ”

Curt lowered his posture and deliberately pretended to be calculating. He's got a lot of useful information, and now it's time to put his sharpness away.

After all, Curt has no intention of really tearing up his face with Kelly, and he doesn't want to expose too much strength. Because mystery is the mage's umbrella, the mage who always keeps the hole cards is the most terrifying. For all reasons, Curt was reluctant to let Kelly know his true side.

"Well, the Thieves' Guild will compensate you for a level three scroll......"

"Two! And I'll specify the spells on them!"

Curt fiercely raised two fingers and carried through the image of greed to the end. Kelly seemed to be laughing, just shaking her head.

"Well, just two, and it's up to you to specify the spells described above. ”

Kelly groaned for a moment, then relented. For the sake of Curt no longer pressing forward and pursuing Randolph, she decided to give a little sweetness. For Kelly, getting Cortra back into the negotiations was key. She didn't know that her mind was being read, and she just pretended to be generous:

"In addition to this, the Thieves' Guild will also provide you with four assistants. You're a new mage, so you're struggling with the lack of manpower, right?"

"You want me to train you an apprentice for free?"

Curt sarcastically raised the corners of his mouth, breaking Kelly's intentions. He showed an expression of interest, looked down, looked at Kelly's long legs, and said:

"In the Thousand Laws City, every commoner wants to send their children to the Mage Tower. I will choose an apprentice from a well-to-do family, and I don't need you to bother. ”

"You can send them and enslave them as you like, even if you die. In fact, the Thieves' Guild wants you to train those kids in the most radical way possible. No matter how big the loss is, the apprentices in your mage tower will not decrease. If you die one, we'll add one. Apprentices will be assigned jobs by the Thieves' Guild, and all the remuneration they receive will be shared with you in a third of the profits. ”

"Sounds good. ”

Curt's pupils contracted slightly, and at the same time, he lowered his head sharply, so as not to be seen by Kelly in the silver light that was scurrying in his eyes. He clenched it into a fist, put his bruised hand under the table, and said as calmly as possible:

"The choice is mine, though. Please notify me when a new slave arrives in the city of a thousand laws. I need to prioritize apprentices and squeeze gold out of the young children who are useless to you. ”

"Deal. ”

Kelly nodded in satisfaction as she buttoned up the placket. After the deal is established, there is no need for her to continue to show off. Kelly picked up the glass in front of her and drank the wine inside. Before leaving, she said teasingly:

"One thing I hope you can understand is that goods coming from afar are never worthless. There are ** people who like little girls in the city of a thousand laws, and there are even monsters who are obsessed with little boys. Some children are priced higher than adults, and they are not suitable for apprenticeship. ”

"Is it like you back then?"

Curt suddenly raised his head and shot a fierce gaze at Kelly. As a result, Kelly's body stiffened in an instant, and her face became as white as paper. Kirte stared at Kelly fixedly, savoring the turbulent waves in the other party's heart. At last he nodded and said in a low voice:

"Today we closed a respectable deal, Ms. Kelly. I'll do my job, now you can go...... By the way, don't forget to give Mr. Krone a few gold coins. He's the middleman who matches us, and he's got the pay, or you can sleep with him for the night. ”

"When you walk at night, watch out for your back!"

Kelly's face turned from white to blue, cold and hard like an ice crystal. Before leaving the basement, she smashed her glass against the wall.

Half an hour later, Curt returned to the Black Tower. With his hands behind his back, he paced slowly in the arcane research room. It wasn't until Ani's light image crept into the air that Curt stood still.

"You seem to have something on your mind. ”

Ani spoke with a worried expression, and later added hesitantly:

"I'm not good at reading words and feelings, and I may not be ...... wrong when I think wrong."

"No, you're right, Ani. ”

Curt shook his head and stroked his face with his hand. He sat weakly in the rocking chair and said to himself:

"In fact, I am not a good person, and high moral character has nothing to do with me, it is the preserve of fools and idiots. But...... I also have my own bottom line. There are times when I really want to be a fool or an idiot. ”

"It's better for you to abandon your principles, I think so. ”

This time, Ani appeared very confident in her own construction. Her eyes sparkled with a dreamy lilac glow. Curt could only smile bitterly back, and he said slowly:

"It's hard for humans to be unprincipled, Ani. As we grow up, we gain experience and develop a unique way of doing things. To put it simply, there are things that can be sold and some things that cannot. It's nature, unless anyone can completely abandon human nature. ”

"That's right...... I kind of get it. ”

Ani tilted her head, as if she had realized something. She floated slowly upwards, disintegrating into tiny particles of light that dissipated into the air. Curt raised his head, watching Ani disappear as he savored Ani's words.

"Humanity is superfluous, but luckily I don't. Ditch it, Curt, and come into my world. ”

“...... Maybe one day, I will, but it's too early. ”

Curt lay down on the cushion and muttered to himself with his hands on his lower abdomen. He still has a long way to go, and his grand ideals to be realized. In order to overcome the obstacles, perhaps Curt should really throw away a lot of things. Because he is not strong enough, it is the privilege of the strong to stick to their principles in difficult situations.

'I need more strength. ’

With this in mind, Curt began to think about the problem. His psionic talent and spell-casting talent take time to sharpen, and nothing can be achieved overnight. It's also too difficult to get powerful magic items, or to organize a faction that is loyal to you. Curt thought about it, and finally focused on the unexpected. - The strange human who was summoned by Abys.

Before the next trouble hits the door, Ke is peculiar to time. So he pushed away the rocking chair and stood up and walked towards the secret cell.
