Chapter 852: The Price of Not Enough
"Sister Bertha, I heard that you have found a job in the imperial capital? What are you doing?"
Bertha said, "I have joined the government of the Demon Moon and am now the sheriff of the central city of Theliberes. β
"Wow, Sister Bertha, are you an official?"
"Hehe, yes. β
Alice said, "But I remember that it doesn't seem to be easy for a foreigner to serve in the Demon Moon Government. She looked at Daphink and said, "Ahem, Sister Bertha, did you find someone to help you secretly? As the Demon Moon Princess, this kind of thing is allowed." β
Dafink shook his head and sighed, "Oh, this is not easy to do, Bertha, our employer seems to have an opinion on you." β
Bertha laughed, "What then?"
Da Fink said: "What else can I do? Why don't you pat her ass, maybe she can give you a promotion when she is happy." β
"Yes, my princess, how about Bertha pinch your legs?"
Alice giggled, and everyone laughed.
Carter said: "Actually, Bertha was able to be hired by the Demon Moon Government so smoothly, in addition to Da Fink's help, more because of that prehistoric giant elephant." β
"Ah, it's the elephant. β
He continued: "This prehistoric giant elephant is really extraordinary, not only is it several times larger than the average prehistoric giant elephant, but it is also amazingly powerful. In the sheriff's assessment, Bertha was able to defeat other competitors because of such a magical beast as a guardian. β
Lisi knew that the prehistoric giant elephant was actually a prehistoric demon elephant that was one of the five beasts guarding the water and cloud stream, and of course its strength was stronger than that of ordinary prehistoric giant elephants, so she couldn't help but sigh a little: "It's so nostalgic, we rode on its back together at that time." Sister Bertha, you summon it again, let me see. β
"That's not going to work. Bertha refused.

Bertha said: "Please, Your Royal Highness, this is the city center, such a huge demonic beast is summoned, are you not afraid of scaring people and destroying the municipal government? β
"Hehe, I see. Alice laughed, "Then let me see it again when I have a chance." β
"Hmm. β
......
On the other side, inside Coolantin Academy. A teacher was leading Alchemy Hurington through the Academy's alchemy building.
"Please go this way, this is the place dedicated to alchemists in our academy for alchemists to study and alchemy. The teacher introduced as he walked.
"Oh, is this open to students too?" asked Hurrington.
The teacher said, "No, no, this place is not open to students, and ordinary teaching teachers can't come here." It is only for specialized alchemists. β
Hurrington sighed, "That's a shame. β
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. Hulingerton smiled, but his eyes looked at the student girls who were stumbling outside the alchemy building.
After turning a few corners, the teacher said, "This is the alchemy room prepared for you by the academy, please come and take a look." β
"Hmm. β
Push the door and walk into the alchemy room, no matter how big the space is, but all the facilities commonly used in alchemy are there. There was also a small door in the room, and the teacher said, "That room is where the props are stored, and the test tubes, stoves, and so on are all in it." β
Hurrington looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "What about the commonly used alchemy materials?"
The teacher said: "The materials are all in the material library, and you can get them there with the pass given to you by the academy if you need anything." If you don't have what you need in the library, you can ask the academy and the academy will pay for all the materials you need. β
"It's very thoughtful, I know Xiexie. β
The teacher said, "If there is no problem, I will leave first." If you have any needs or questions, you can go to the management office downstairs for consultation. β
"I will. Hurrington put down the bag on his shoulder, circled around the alchemy room again, nodded and said, "It's really good, it's time to work." Let's try out all kinds of tools first, and then it's time to focus on repairing Alice's black dragon scale armor......"
Downtown Thebeles, Palace of the Magic Moon.
In the garden, Pont Dilmogada, the former king of the Ponte Empire, waits patiently for the first official meeting with Otilette Will Geoffric Basent, King Otilette XVII.
After a short time, Otillet XVII came slowly: "Sorry for keeping you waiting. β
"It doesn't matter, King Bixia must have a lot of government affairs to deal with. "Dir Mogada said very humbly, he has to ask for others, and he can only lower his profile.
In the garden garden, there are stone benches and stone tables, and of course there are fruit snacks that have been brought by the palace ladies for a long time. ,
After Otillette XVII sat down, he went straight to the point: "I've heard Alice talk about you, and you're here in the hope that our Demon Moon can help you restore the throne, right?"
"Yes, Bixia. "My country has fallen into the hands of others because it has been plotted by conspirators. If Bixia can help me restore the dynasty, you and your Demon Moon Empire will receive the most pious submission from the Pont Empire. So saying, he left the stone bench, half-knelt on the ground, and performed the courtesy of a courtier.
Otilette XVII said: "The Ponte Empire is far away in the Eastern Continent, tens of thousands of miles away from the Demon Moon Empire, how can the Demon Moon help you at such a long distance?"
Dir Mogada said: "Although the Demon Moon is far away from Ponte, with the status and influence of the Demon Moon Empire on Shijie, your attitude can be felt by all the countries of the Eastern Continent. So it's important to have your support. β
The Seventeenth said: "But if you want to restore, you can't do it with the verbal support of the Demon Moon. β
"Your support is only the first step, and I still need more help from you. β
The Seventeenth said: "You want me to send troops to help you attack Ponte, and then use the influence and appeal of the Demon Moon Empire to mobilize the allies to support you more in public opinion." β
Ermogada said: "The Demon Moon sent troops to attack Ponte from the sea, which the conspirators would never have imagined. Moreover, with the support of the Demon Moon and other countries, the international space of the Eastern Continent will definitely oppress the conspirators, and with the support of so many parties, I will succeed in restoring the throne. At that time, Moyue's status on Shijie will inevitably improve again. β
The Seventeenth shook his head and said, "But I think this will have the opposite effect on the international status of the Demon Moon in Shijie. The connection between the Demon Moon and the Eastern Continent has always been very small, and the sudden dispatch of troops to Ponte will cause a strong backlash from the countries of the Eastern Continent. β
Dir Mogada said: "So the Demon Moon's troops are borrowed from you by me as the king of Ponte, so that the Demon Moon will have enough names to help me." β
The Seventeenth said: "Even if such a reason can be barely accepted by the countries of the Eastern Continent, it is not enough to ask Moyue to send troops for other countries, and it is not easy to mobilize large-scale international public opinion to support you." What's more, there are currently two wars in our country, and if we want to go on an expedition to Ponte, we don't have the ability to do so. β
"I know that a deal or a partnership requires a lot of leverage and more tangible benefits. Please rest assured that in the future, Ponte's reward for the Demon Moon will never be low. As for the Demon Moon now in the whirlpool of war, I also have the patience to wait until the Demon Moon's war is over. β
"Oh, I'm curious what kind of sincerity you can show to impress me. β
Dir Mogada said: "The Ponte Empire has a lot of rare resources on Shijie, even the Tears of the Gods, although the output is not as good as that of Yanyang City, but it also has at least two drops of output every year. I believe that these rare resources can be of great use to any country. If Bixia can restore the right to mine these resources for me, I will give you the right to mine these resources without hesitation. β
The Seventh Shi chuckled, "Although these resources are extremely valuable, they are not the most needed benefits for the Demon Moon. If the Ponte Empire is adjacent to St. Vicia, I may be willing to help you restore the throne, but it is a pity that Pont is in the Eastern Continent and cannot be a pawn of the Demon Moon to contain St. Vicia geographically. So, I can't accept such a price. β
"This ......"
"Enough. The Seventeenth interrupted him and said, "I already know what you can give, and what I can promise you is to agree to let you form a government in exile in the territory of the Demon Moon, except for this, the Demon Moon will not be able to help you in other aspects." That's the end of today's meeting. β
"But the king ......," called Dirmogada, but XVII ignored him, and kept his way away from the gravel path in the garden, and stood alone among the flowers......
......
Curantin Academy, Alchemy Room.
Hurington opened the backpack he brought, took out the black dragon scale armor and corpse grudge placed inside, and saw the crack on the corpse grudge, he shook his head and sighed: "What a sharp sword, even the armor made of black dragon scales can be cut so easily, those two guys are not ordinary people." β
He stored magic power in his hand and carefully pasted it towards the black dragon scale armor, and the seal pattern formed by the corpse and resentment secret language was immediately guided by the magic power and emerged: "Fortunately, the liliang of the rune stone secret language was not damaged by the damage of the scale armor. As long as the dragon scales can be repaired, the ability of this armor will still be the same as before. But the difficulty is here......" He took the dragon scale suit and looked left and right: "It is not easy to repair the broken dragon scales, not only does the magic immunity of the dragon scales make the repair method more difficult, but it is even more extreme to find suitable materials to repair the dragon scales. Different dragon scales can accept different materials and methods than different dragon species......" he groaned as he spoke.
After a while, he threw down his clothes and muttered: "Alas~ Sure enough, too much knowledge is also a burden, and after reading so many books, I actually forgot what materials are needed to repair the black dragon scales? Well, go check the books." After saying that, he turned around and left the alchemy room.
