Chapter Seventy-Nine: Magic?
Cross immediately sensed the magic in the wine bottle in his right hand, which was still a pale blue ball of light, and there was nothing in the wine glass in his left hand.
Cross didn't know why the magic was in these wines, but he knew very well that the magic was not the same as the magic displayed by the magic potions.
The magic displayed by the magic potion will never be in the shape of a ball, and the magic displayed by Isaac the gargoyle and Eveliel the spirit of fire is a ball of magic.
He therefore speculated that there might be a demon seed in the wine, and that it was invisible to the naked eye.
Whether this speculation was correct or not, Cross first made sure that he could bring the contents of the bottle back safely, and that he couldn't let the contents escape.
"Can you give me a cork?" asked Cross. In order to prevent the magic seeds that may be present inside the bottle from escaping, it is best to seal the bottle.
"No problem, don't say one, it's no problem to give you ten. The shopkeeper replied with a smile. As a businessman, such a trade is undoubtedly profitable for him.
With little to no loss, the shopkeeper helped the queen and at the same time helped the new earl. To him, it was a gift from God.
"No, I only need one. Cross reiterated his request and turned to Milia as she shook the bottle in her hand slightly, "That's what I want." ”
Queen Miria was a little embarrassed, she really didn't expect that Cross would choose wine, or less than a sip of wine, she thought that Clos's choice really didn't show her grandeur as a queen.
As the queen, she gave such a reward, obviously even Milia herself felt too stingy.
She felt that Cross could have chosen something better.
"Count Cross, do you really only need these wines?"
"Hmm. ”
"Would you like to pick another thing? Dragon's horn is a good choice. ”
Cross wanted to refuse outright, he thought that the reward he had received was already very good, after all, there was probably a demon seed hidden in it.
But he thought about it, this place is so big, maybe there are other demon seeds that have not been discovered.
So, he did not shirk and replied very cheerfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"I'll give you one more reward, and the Dark Gladiator's voucher won't be given to you, and that thing won't be exchanged for something too good. ”
......
Plugged on, Cross hurried out of the wine shop.
The queen greeted the shopkeeper and followed.
Seeing that both the guests and the queen had left, the shopkeeper complained to himself, "This earl is really interesting, he actually chose something completely useless, but it saved me a lot, I really hope that the queen will have more such stupid earls." Hahaha......"
......
Close was pressed for time, but he didn't know much about the underground block, so he could only ask Milia to lead the way quickly.
Queen Miria didn't feel tired, she only hoped that this sincerity could impress Cross and make Cross truly her own combat force.
Close wasn't so lucky this time.
He and Miria traveled through the entire underground neighborhood without sensing any other magic, the only one they perceived was the gargoyle Isaac.
Cross, who had been full of anticipation, was now a little disappointed, and he sighed inadvertently.
At this time, he had given up the search for the demon seed, and he turned his target to a powerful slave.
It's just that, just after a circle, he didn't find the slave who made a deep impression on him, and at this time, a term 'ninth cage' suddenly flashed in his mind.
Evelyn was imprisoned in the ninth cage, which meant that there were other cages in this place, and the creatures in them were certainly much more powerful than the slaves on the block.
Cross began to think about how to guide Miria to offer the creatures in the cage.
"Yo! isn't this our new Earl Cross, you should be happy to be an earl, what's the sigh?"
Lester, an upper-class nobleman, suddenly appears.
He greeted Cross and bowed to Queen Miria.
Cross recognized Lester at a glance, and he knew that without this man, he would simply not be able to participate in the Dark Gladiator tournament.
It's just that he also knows very well that this person just wants to satisfy his own pleasure by watching the game.
Seeing Lester suddenly appear, Queen Milia was also a little surprised. "Count Cross, I would like to introduce you to my Prince, Lester. ”
"We've seen it, at the entrance to the underground block. Cross replied.
Lester smiled, "Lord Cross, the first time I saw you, I thought you weren't an ordinary human, so I suggested to Her Majesty that the Dark Gladiator match be restarted, and you exceeded my expectations. With that, Lester bowed to Cross, "Congratulations, Cross Klein. ”
"Thank you. Cross's answer was simple and straightforward, and he had already had a plan in his heart, and Lester's appearance was the premise of that plan.
"Lester, you're not just here to congratulate Cross, are you?" Miria asked.
Lester bowed, "Her Majesty has been with Count Cross for some time to choose a reward, and this makes me a little worried. ”
"Lester, I know your loyalty. The reason I've been delaying for so long is because Count Cross hasn't chosen his reward yet. ”
"Oh?" Lester turned to look at Cross with a little doubt in his eyes, "Count Cross, don't you like what we have here?"
"There are many things in this place that are more precious than those of the human kingdom, and there are even some things that cannot be seen in the human kingdom at all.
However, my preferences are more peculiar, and these things are of little practical value to me. Crosston paused, then added, "Actually, what I want most is Eveliel. ”
"Count Cross, I really can't give you Eveliel as a reward. Miria replied immediately.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be nervous, since you have explained the reason before, I will definitely not force it.
After all, it's you who provide the reward. ”
Cross's previous words were not for the Queen, he already knew that the Queen could not give him Evelil, and the reason why he still said that was to let Lester know that he had made such a request.
In Cross's opinion, Lester's insight is stronger than that of Queen Miria, and Lester is a better guide to guide him.
Sure enough, Lester got into thinking when he heard that Cross wanted Evelil, and it didn't last long.
"Count Cross, I think you might be interested in these. ”
