172 Beyond Gold (2)
"You're lying, and your mood swings tell me that you've been prepared for it for a long time. "The Lamp Keeper knows Nick well, and there is no way to hide even the slightest emotional changes from him.
Mage Nick shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer the Lampkeeper directly but faintly: "When I met him before, I sensed the path that guy was going to take, it was a rather ambitious path, he chose to fuse multiple 'judgment level' special moves to break through the gold level, the moment I saw him, I knew that this guy was not far from 'beyond the gold level'." โ
"So I took the arrangement and spent tens of billions of Stygian Crystals to let him enter the 'Mysterious Garden', in fact, I was planning to disrupt that guy's way forward, hinder that guy from being so 'beyond the gold level' and let me have a little more time to control the overall situation, obviously my calculation failed. โ
The Lampkeeper looked at Mage Nick, and he could understand that this guy wasn't lying now, but it was strange that this guy didn't have much frustration in failure when he said this.
Nick continued: "But it doesn't matter if you don't control the overall situation, so far the relationship between me and that little guy is quite harmonious, originally the next step should be to directly find that guy to fight, kill him or let him kill him, but I suddenly changed my mind, I suddenly felt that since I accidentally picked up a treasure, if I don't catch it well, I may lose the only chance for revenge." โ
Hearing this, the lampkeeper suddenly became nervous: "What are you going to do? You plan to get revenge? Don't you know what a stupid decision this is? His strength is too strong and too strong, you have no chance to defeat him, if it falls into the hands of that guy." Don't you know that you don't even have the right to die?"
"If it had been before, the hope of revenge would indeed be too slim, even if I had been lucky enough to defeat that little guy and go one step further. Even in the past few thousand years or tens of thousands of years, it is still unlikely that I will defeat that guy, let alone get revenge, but now I may hope that I can take revenge in a thousand years or even a hundred years. If there's such an opportunity, why don't I take advantage of it?"
Hearing this, a flash of inspiration flashed in the lampkeeper's mind, and he shattered Master Nick's current thoughts: "Are you going to use that little skeleton?"
"Don't say anything about exploitation, this is just a deal and, you and I want it, and with the growth rate of this little guy, it won't take long, and that one of the incomparably powerful enemies for me to kill is just a small character in front of him that can be crushed easily. That little creature isn't any ordinary skeleton mage at all, he's a guy with miracles and luck in his hands, and I can't imagine that this kind of being can go that far. Master Nick looked in Zhao Lun's direction, and the burning yearning in his eyes was the look of a guy who had crawled out of the abyss of despair when he looked at hope.
Seeing this expression, the lamp keeper knew that this guy was determined to take revenge, and he was going to say a few words, but looking at the terrifying energy that could still be faintly detected hundreds of kilometers away. The Lampkeeper sighed a few times and then honestly shut up.
It's not because the lantern keeper has confidence in Zhao Lun, he may be very confident in Zhao Lun's future if he grows up, but he is not very optimistic about Zhao Lun's path to the future.
He has too many enemies, not to mention a human powerhouse that he will face soon. Let's just say that the group of dark knights that this troublemaker provoked in 'Northton' not long ago would be enough for him if he found it, and once he and Nick made a deal, he would most likely face the leader of a super power and a terrifying enemy. Surrounded by such hordes of enemies, it is a big question whether this little guy can grow up smoothly.
However, compared to the fact that Mage Nick was about to fight Zhao Lun. The result in front of him is undoubtedly the best for Nick, at least this guy won't die in the short term.
Zhao Lun's retreat took a whole month. When Zhao Lun woke up from the retreat a month later, the environment where Zhao Lun was located had changed greatly, the space was filled with all kinds of terrifying energy fluctuations, and it became a dangerous area, so it was impossible for silver-level existences to survive in this area, even gold-level existences had to be careful in this area, otherwise they would be in danger of dying at any time.
For this, Zhao Lun, who has already surpassed the gold level after leaving the customs, also said that there is no good way, but fortunately, the environment will slowly improve over time, and it will be able to return to its original appearance after about two years.
Zhao Lun, who has surpassed the gold level, does not look any different from before, it is still the same appearance, and the momentum is not a little stronger, there is no way to see what difference this guy has from the previous appearance alone, only Zhao Lun himself can realize that he is strong now, it is a completely different from the previous strength, there is no way to use data to explain the gap between the two, the only thing that can be determined is that this one is very big, very big.
If Zhao Lun felt a lot of pressure when he saw that the city of 'Northton' was half collapsed before, now Zhao Lun feels that he can do it with a little force?
However, Zhao Lun didn't indulge in this kind of realm for long, because not long after he broke through, there were soon undead to visit.
"In a blink of an eye, you are already in the same realm as me, Your Excellency Zhao Lun. "Mage Nick, who had already come to Zhao Lun's territory early, greeted him after seeing Zhao Lun break through, and he did not use 'little guy' in his title for Zhao Lun, but replaced it with the word 'Your Excellency', which represents respect and equality.
"Lord Nick, why are you here?" Zhao Lun was a little surprised when he saw this guy, according to the previous agreement, shouldn't he be waiting for him at 'Eddiros'? But when he heard this guy's name, Zhao Lun probably guessed the reason, it was because of his own strength.
"It's obvious why I'm here, isn't it?" said Master Nick, smiling freely. He is a very straightforward guy: "You are already on the same level as me when you get strength, so the next communication between us should be changed to a more equal way." โ
Zhao Lun glanced at Mage Nick. He found that although he seemed to be in the same realm as Mage Nick, the strength of the other party seemed to be above him. And it's not the slightest bit like that, and when Mage Nick says something like this, it seems that he has something else in mind.
"I'm going to get straight to the point, I've always had a purpose for your support, and we all knew that before, right?" said Master Nick.
Zhao Lun nodded, but shook his head again: "No matter what, you still pay a lot for me after all, so I still owe you so far, if the conditions allow, I can do anything for it." โ
Zhao Lun always leaves room for speech, and adds a 'if conditions allow' in front of 'anything'. But this little thing Mage Nick didn't care about.
"Originally, I supported you because I chose a special path to improve my strength after the advanced legend, which is my current realm, I need to cultivate an enemy, a very strong and powerful enemy, and then defeat or even kill him when the two sides are evenly matched, and my strength will be stronger for every such opponent I kill, and I have killed four such existences since I advanced to the legend. When Master Nick said this, his eyes were locked on Zhao Lun's pupils, as if he wanted to see some emotional fluctuations. But it's a pity that he didn't see anything.
"You're talking about the original, which means you've changed your mind now, don't you? I guess that's good news for both of us, isn't it?" Zhao Lun said with a smile.
Master Nick didn't see anything in Zhao Lun's pupils, and continued to make a temptation: "Yes, I changed my attention. Because I saw endless miracles in you, for the first time, I had the realization that it was impossible for me to defeat you, so I gave up my original purpose. What I want to ask is, do you still admit what I paid to you?"
"Why don't you admit it, there is no contradiction between you and me in the first place. For the sake of the malice you have given up, I don't think I should give up on giving up your true efforts. Zhao Lun laughed, he often lied. Lies are as simple and true to him as the truth, but this sentence of his is really and really straight from the heart.
Zhao Lun is a bit of a scoundrel, and some like to get something for nothing, but this doesn't mean that there is no good place in this guy's character, at least in terms of getting emotions for his subordinates, Zhao Lun is still very humane in the Zhi'en Tubao, so this guy's words are true and sincere.
Although Master Nick did not have the keen emotional sense of the Lamp Keeper, he could still feel the sincerity of Zhao Lun's words: "Very good, in this case, we can't make a deal." โ
"Deal?" Zhao Lun was a little puzzled.
"Because although I have paid to you before, it is insignificant compared to the things I will ask your Excellency in the future, so I must pay some. Master Nick continued, "If you agree, from now on I will be Your Excellency's subordinate, and the property I have accumulated over thousands of years will be Your Excellency's, and everything I have belongs to Your Excellency. โ
When he heard this, Zhao Lun's expression became slightly solemn: "What I have to face is very difficult?"
"It is almost an impossible task for your Excellency now, but for your Excellency in the future, it may be a matter of a casual wave, and I can guarantee that you will never be asked to do it when you are unable to complete it. Master Nick said with burning eyes.
When he heard this, Zhao Lun knew that once he nodded his head, it would represent endless trouble, if it was Zhao Lun before the crossing, he might have thought about it, but now Zhao Lun is immune to trouble or something, and he doesn't care.
"If you want to help me do things, I'm quite welcome, as for saving or something, I still want to save face, your is yours, I won't want you, if that's okay, then I should come down to your business. Zhao Lun said this loudly, making people feel that Zhao Lun, a little bandit, also has such righteousness, in fact, Zhao Lun has a little Jiujiu in his heart, although Master Nick's family property savings are very tempting to him, but if it is next, it means that Zhao Lun must complete Nick's commission, so if the situation changes in the future, Zhao Lun has little room for maneuver, although Zhao Lun can not admit it or something, but Zhao Lun still has to have some face after all, rather than tearing his face in the end, it is better to leave room at the beginning, and besides, the matter of Olis will soon need the help of Master Nick, and now if you can win it over, you can win it over wellใ
For Zhao Lun's careful thinking, although Master Nick had no way to fully comprehend it, he could still guess it somewhat, but now this result is already a good start for Master Nick, and he doesn't plan to win Zhao Lun resolutely and unreservedly admits that this is impossible.
It's good to have such a beginning, there is such a beginning, Master Nick believes that the situation will go in the direction he wants, Zhao Lun has always been a very emotional guy, this is very clear to Master Nick, this is a shining point of human nature and a shortcoming that is easy to take advantage of, once Master Nick and Zhao Lun cultivate a relationship, it is easy to ask him for help or something, and sometimes asking someone to help may not need to be agreed by others, right?
What Zhao Lun didn't know was that the moment he accepted Nick, his future was entangled with a huge force, but what he knew was that after accepting Nick Mage, his territory could develop in the shortest possible time, and the strength and status of Nick Mage had a very strong role in promoting the development of Zhao Lun's territory.
However, after accepting Mage Nick, the first thing Zhao Lun did was not to use Mage Nick to develop the territory, but to ask for detailed information about Olis from Mage Nick, that guy had been missing for too long, and Zhao Lun couldn't wait to save that guy back.
Zhao Lun got a lot better news from Nick than he originally expected, and if it went well, he would soon be able to rescue Olise. (To be continued......)
