Vol 22 Chapter 96: Working for gems

"This, this, this ..." The gold coins excitedly pointed at the colorful magic crystals wrapped in the magic circle. "How can these be sold?"
A full-body mummy, like a mule, came over wearing a gold ornament, and the guy said in a slightly husky voice when he heard the gold coin: "Sorry, these are exhibits and are not for sale."
"Not for sale?" Rose's voice rose directly by eight degrees. "What are you doing here without selling?"
"This is to show our customers that we have the ability to obtain these advanced magic gems, but because the gem itself is very expensive and difficult to obtain, it is only displayed and not sold." Although the mummy's voice is not good , But slowly speaking very polite.
I estimate that these women are now full of colorful magic spar, and are in a state of rage. In order to avoid the misfortune of this polite mummy, I took the initiative to take over the negotiation work. "Excuse me, what is your position here? Is the highest person in charge here? I think there is always a price for goods, as long as the price is reasonable. Although these things are rare, I think that since they are goods, your general manager There should also be a psychological price point. So, please help us to introduce it, I think we can reach some consensus with him. "I said, and passed a piece of black crystal calmly, This is not the kind of scrap leftover from black crystal powder. This is a real high-purity black crystal. It is a very rare commodity. Moreover, the volume of this piece is absolutely superb.
The mummy glanced at the black crystal in her hand. Then he covered his chest with one hand and made a salute and said, "Please wait a moment, our chief is in charge of receiving important guests, but I happen to have a good personal relationship with the chief, so I think he will make time today. Talk to you in detail. "
"Thank you so much."
Sure enough, it was good to do things with money. The mummy received such a big gift from me, and the efficiency of the work was also rising. Although he said that it is within today, the person in charge appeared in less than 20 minutes.
In fact, when I first saw this person in charge, I was shocked because this guy was actually a protoss. Unlike the higher undead here, this guy is full of surging darkness. In other words, this is an evil god. And very powerful. Of course, we are not afraid of him. Once we came to do business, as a shop owner, he didn't make sense to fight customers. Are these two coming ... even if he really explodes. Our side has basically concentrated the highest combat power of our guild. Don't say this guy is just a powerful evil god. Even if we are the main gods of a protoss, we are not forced.
As a Protoss, the opponent's sensing ability is also quite strong. Although we are now in non-combat mode, the breath on our bodies is hidden, but too close to it will not work. When the other party approached us without rice, we immediately discovered the surging magic wave on our body. This situation caused the other party to pause for a moment, but quickly reacted to speed up.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for a long time." The other party came over and bowed slightly. It looked really polite. This is because of our customer identity, but also because of our strength.
"No, it should be that we have interrupted." Since others are polite, we must also be polite. The other party and I gave a false greeting to the subject immediately. "Sorry to disturb you when you meet the guests, mainly because we are fancy about these colorful magic crystals, and it is said that these are not for sale. We really like these colorful magic crystals, and we also think that the products always have a price Otherwise, it ’s meaningless if you do n’t get moldy here. So I took the liberty of seeing you, hoping to explore whether it is possible to buy. Of course, we can give an appropriate price, or if you If you feel that the currency is not enough to measure the price of these colorful magic crystals, then we can consider bartering or changing the payment method. What do you think? "
After my words, the other person looked at us, and then looked at the colorful magic spar there, and then groaned for a few seconds and then said, "As you said, the goods are going to be sold after all. It will not produce any benefit here, but these ... you say colorful magic spar, this is a little different from our name here, but if you are guests, then call these things temporarily according to your name For the colorful magic crystals. You want colorful magic crystals, and I can't sell them, but the purchase price of these colorful magic crystals is definitely not that cheap. I hope you can be mentally prepared. "
"What is the price?" Rose asked.
The evil paused a little before he said, "I need you to pay two things to complete this comparison transaction."
"what?"
"First I need you to pay ten million kilograms of high-energy crystals."
Christina and Zhenhong immediately put their heads together after they said each other and wanted to know what the price meant. Rose responded the fastest and whispered directly: "High-energy crystals are magic crystals. For 10 million kilograms, the price of white magic crystals has exceeded 100 million crystal coins, but the price is not high, and it can even be said to be Some are cheaper. The price of colorful magic spar is much more than that. "
"But the request from the other party is not the same. The reason for this cheap price may be caused by the second request." Christina said.
We all know that Christina is very reasonable, but it is too rash to refuse to listen, so I can only ask aloud, "What is the other requirement?"
The other person pointed us. "You guys, help me get something, and after you get it back, pay me with the money. These fifteen colorful magic crystals are yours."
"What is it specifically? Do you know the location? Are there any obstacles on the way?" I'm not stupid. Just talking about taking things, the ghost knows what it is. You can ask me to pick a weed up the mountain to take something, and to take the core of the divine power of a certain protoss power is also something. Can these two be the same? So if you do n’t ask clearly, I ca n’t agree.
The other party did not intend to hide anything, because even concealing was meaningless, and when we found out the problem, we would give up the task, which is not good for him.
"This thing is very special. It's a magical item. It should be of little use to you, but it means a lot to me. However, the problem is not with this thing, but because the location of this thing is a bit bad, to get to that place You need to face many dangerous creatures. Even me. It ’s very dangerous to get them. So, I can only ask you for help. If you can bring something like that back, give me 10 million kilograms of high-energy crystals. I The guarantee is given to you, the fifteen colorful magic spar. "
"I've seen black. I haven't seen you so dark." Rose said, "A high-level evil can't guarantee what he can get safely. The creature that guards it must be strong to a perverted level. Dealing with this kind of thing is beyond itself The sum of the price of fifteen colorful magic crystals. You actually want us to pay an extra ten million kilograms of high-energy crystals, which is simply extortion. "
I also said with a serious expression: "I don't think you have any sincerity? The other party can make you feel very dangerous and don't dare to shoot directly, that is to say, it is not weaker than you. We have to deal with things of that level. Your money. If that's the case, we might as well rob you directly. Anyway, it's all about killing you at this level. The risks are the same for us. "
Hearing our words, the evil said with a smile: "This is only my initial price. If you feel too high, can we discuss it again."
"Consultation? What kind of consultation?"
"You have to get that thing for me. As for the other 10 million kilograms of high-energy crystals, it can be reduced by half, as long as 5 million kilograms."
When I heard the words of this evil god, my anger was completely up. "It looks like you don't want to talk to us anymore, this price is completely pitting us. Well, so, I think we need to find another way."
This time I turned around and left immediately after I finished talking. Although Christina wanted the fifteen colorful magic crystals very much, but when they saw me gone, they immediately turned around and followed, and the one over there The evil was also anxious when he saw that we were really leaving. The guy suddenly ran up and grabbed me and said, "Don't go! Just kidding, are you guys? In this way, I won't pit you, and tell you a real price. You must complete the things. One million kilograms is fine. "
This time we didn't even pause, we went straight out, and when the other side saw the posture, we knew that we were really angry, and immediately got anxious. The guy rushed straight up and grabbed my wrist and said, "Okay, no kidding. I don't need you to give me the magic crystal, just help me get that thing back."
This time it ’s still somewhat reliable, so I just stopped and said,
Your sincerity worries me, so I ’ll just say the last time, if you play with us again, there is no need for cooperation. First of all We need to know what obstacles we will encounter along the way. If it is the terrain or any natural phenomenon, we need to tell us where the danger is, and if it is a living thing, we need to provide detailed information about these living things. And we need to know What exactly do you want us to take so that we can evaluate it. You ’re welcome, I ’m really worried that what you asked us to take is several times more expensive than these fifteen colorful magic crystals plus one . Then we would really lose money. "
The other party hesitated after hearing what I said, but eventually told the truth. This is not the other party's stupidity, nor is it how good his commercial character is, in fact he can't help it.
The value of that thing is the same as I guess. It is much more expensive than the fifteen colorful magic crystals plus one. This is why the other party did not want to tell us what the specific thing was before, because as long as you know the value of that thing , Normal people will not agree to the previous trading conditions. After all, if you just want to buy a diamond ring, then someone asks you to complete the entire mining of a diamond mine, and then use all the diamonds mined inside to exchange this diamond ring. In this case, it is estimated that only a fool will complete such a transaction? So, the other party actually didn't want us to know what we were going to get.
but. The guy finally said it, not because of his moral qualities, but because he really couldn't help it.
Although he knew that thing was there, in fact, if he took it with his strength, it would definitely be a death. He didn't want to take risks with his small life, especially when the odds were less than one-tenth. So if we don't go, he can basically say goodbye to that thing. In this undead city, no one can get that thing smoothly. After all, he is one of the top people here, and these people can't form a joint team to get that thing. So if you miss us. He basically couldn't get that thing.
In this case, what he told us was that at most we raised the price, and his earnings decreased. But if you do n’t tell us. Then there will be no gain at all. Compare the two. Obviously, making a little less is always more cost-effective than not making it at all.
"Well then, according to what you told me, I want to get what you said. Even with our strength, the process is still very dangerous, the probability of completing the task is not more than 50%, and the value of this item exceeds Those colorful magic crystals are seven to eight times larger. In this way, the previous price is obviously not appropriate. "I said looking at the evil god," What do you say? "
The other party knew it would be like this after telling us the details, but after seeing him tell the truth, he has weighed the pros and cons, so he did n’t feel any distress, and said directly: "As long as you help me get that thing back, this Fifteen colorful magic crystals will be given to you in vain, and 100,000 kilograms of high-energy crystals will be given to you, and in my mall, as long as they are sold there, you can choose two of them each. Also, After you come back, I can make a blessing to each of you once. This is the blessing of the evil gods. You should know how much it is. In the end, I will not let you take your own risks. I will send two men to go with you. They are me. The strongest subordinates not only have a very high combat effectiveness, but also understand how to obtain that thing, so not only can you increase your combat effectiveness, but you can also be used as a guide to reduce the difficulty of completing your mission. How about this? The price I have is Are you sincere? "
I nodded and said, "Is this a bit like doing business? Okay, now we will sign an agreement to ensure that everyone's commitment is valid." I just took out a scroll and started writing on it Out of our agreement. The other party didn't take it seriously at first, because the general agreement is actually not very binding for the evil gods at his level, so he didn't worry about this agreement at all. However, after I wrote the agreement and handed it to him, the guy immediately realized that he wanted us to be simple, because the fair people column behind this agreement actually shined a mark with the power of laws, and this mark Represents the Mother of the Earth.
The guarantee agreement of the higher god. This kind of agreement is such a great change that the evil will not dare to disobey, because everything below the upper is a five-dregs battle for the upper god, who wants to destroy anyone who can spray him with a sneeze. Under this overwhelming power gap, no one dares to resist the will of the superior God, unless you never touch the law represented by the superior God. Unfortunately, the law of mother earth represents the earth. Unless you are not close to the land in your life, don't expect to run away. It is obviously impossible to stay close to the land, because even the sea is actually carried by the earth. After all, the sea floor is also part of the earth.
Although I was surprised that I could use the agreement of the higher god, this apparently had figured it out. He had no intention of breaking the contract, so he signed his name after reading the content of the agreement I wrote.
As the agreement came into effect, the two of us officially entered into a cooperative state, and the other party quickly sent us the two masters who assisted us.
The most powerful men of this evil are all the creatures we are familiar with. One of them is more than 1.9 meters tall, and a thick black plate armor wraps his entire body like a tin can. I do n’t know that this is a robot. . Of course, this guy and the machine are completely indifferent, because you can hear a very crisp echo by just tapping his armor slightly, and this sound means that the armor is empty inside.
Yes, this guy is a ghost knight, and a third-order ghost knight, a very perverted and perverted profession. Their body in the positive sense does not actually exist. The outer layer of armor is their only existence in the material world. This armor is not only defensive, but also comes with a repair function. Even if it is cut into pieces, it can be restored within a certain period of time. As for the source of the driving force inside the armor, it is completely completed by black magic. To put it simply, the ghost knight is a heavy armor plate driven by a ghost with black magic, but it has nothing inside.
For such an existence, attacking him with ordinary weapons will obviously not work, because there is nothing in the armor at all. This grill is actually just like a puppet of a puppet show. It is an inanimate object manipulated by people. If you can't find the actor holding the puppet line. Attacking the puppet itself will of course not be effective. Especially this puppet can still be infinitely repaired.
In fact, the spirit part of the ghost knight is hidden inside the armor, but it does not occupy the entire armor, and the specific location is not fixed. The spirit part of the ghost knight can shrink into a fist as large as the fire of the soul within the armor, and this soul of the fire can freely roam inside the huge humanoid armor. therefore. Unless you can see the exact location of the soul fire inside through this armor. And there is enough reaction and control to accurately hit the position of the soul fire. At the same time, it must have enough attack power to penetrate the armor, and finally it must have magical damage, which can directly damage spirits. Otherwise, none of the factors can cause harm to the ghost knight.
In fact, even if it is a mage, seeing the ghost knight will be very headache, because although the ghost knight is theoretically immune to physical damage and will only be damaged by spells, they are wrapped in armor after all, so spell attacks must penetrate the armor Take effect. However, because of the nature of Soul Fire, high temperature, freezing, and shock damage are not effective for the ghost knight. Another thing is that the ghost knights themselves are highly intelligent. They know their weaknesses, so after they become ghost knights, they will try to find high-level armor as their carrier. Therefore, all the ghost knights' armors are high-quality goods. It makes it extremely difficult to penetrate their magic protection, which makes the ghost knights super resistant, not only the defense is amazing, but also a lot of attacks are not effective against it, and a limited number of effective attacks are difficult. Control, anyway, is very difficult to fight.
The ghost knight in front of him looked quite cool, with a black price and the huge sword on the back, the whole humanoid Tyrannosaurus, just standing there had a sense of oppression.
In addition to this ghost knight, the evil also introduced us to another of his men. This guy who had the same tin as the previous bag happened to be upside down. The ghost knight could not see a trace of his body. Of course, he didn't have it. The other one is-almost no occlusion.
This is a bone demon. If you do n’t know about this creature, just think about the white bone essence in Journey to the West. The Bone Demon is the evolution version of the Bone Essence. They are all female in appearance, and they are more beautiful than the large branches in a basically dark camp, except for the succubus. However, although Bone Demon looks like pretty beautiful women, it just looks pretty. If you are fortunate enough to touch their bodies up close, you will find that their skin, which is as soft and smooth as peeled boiled eggs, is actually very deceptive. Although the skin is really smooth, they are not elastic at all. In fact, the hardness of this skin is comparable to magic weapons, and this is also one of the most difficult places for bone demon. Imagine a group of beauties with the same hardness as your weapon.
Because the body is tough enough, bone devil rarely use weapons, their weapons are their own bodies. As long as you close your fingers, you can use your wrist as a sword. Blocking swords empty-handed has no pressure, and even heavy weapons do little damage to them. As for magic ... they have to hit them first.
As long as they are bone monsters, they are all highly mobile fighters. The speed is so fast that you have no way to aim at them. Each time they suddenly appear from the direction you are least prepared to fight. Run and hit. The fatal move is theirs. Idiomatic means.
The bone demon in front of her is not only a big beauty, but also very exaggerated that she is actually a diamond-level bone demon, which is already the highest level of existence. If it weren't for the lack of magical strike ability, this level of bone demon and protoss would not suffer a lot.
"I have to say that your staff are really good."
"No, no, no. This is my man. As for this ..." The evil looked at the Bone Devil and said, "She should be a temporary mercenary I hired. Like you, she wants my merchandise, I asked her to work and pay. "
After the evil finished talking, we briefly communicated with the two guides. That ghost knight has a cold personality, it feels like a stuffy gourd, the type that three sticks can't make a fart. We talked to him for a long time and knew that he was called ‘Aio Riggs’. In addition, he basically only learned about some of his simple offensive and defensive attributes and fighting methods.
Another Bone Demon beauty looks like a mature royal sister in her early thirties, and her character is relatively cold, giving a cold feeling, unsmiling, standard iceberg beauty. and. The height of this man actually reached 1.85 meters. Because women's bodies are relatively slender, as long as they don't stand together, they look even taller than Io Riggs, which is 1.9 meters. Of course, although the character is a bit frozen. But this person is not at least the type of autistic Io Riggs. Normal communication is fine. As long as you are not chatting with her and farting. She will explain to you in detail when she is serious, and she will actively cooperate with you to discuss some combat issues. In short, it's the type that is cold, but serious.
of course. By the way, we also know the name of this beautiful bone demon during the communication. The name of this Bingshan Yujie is actually Bingxin, which is the same as the pen name of a famous writer, but I have to say that this name really matches her temperament.
Speaking of which, despite her indifferent personality, Bingxin's temptation is still great. After all, her image is very good, and because of her special body, her dress is also very personal. Because the Bone Demon are all demonized bones, there is no real skin or muscle, so they don't need armor. For this reason, Bingxin wears only a short set of tight leather armor. In fact, this thing is because leather is made of leather. In fact, I think it ’s more appropriate to call it a leather bikini. It consists of only two parts. One is a pair of ultra-short hot pants with a nod of ten centimeters from the waist to the bottom of the pants. Anyway, short anyway, it will become the kind of briefs.
The components of the upper body are the same, basically a half-cover type chest support, plus a waist-type waistband that extends downward about ten centimeters. Of course, this thing actually didn't reach the waist, at most it was covered to the lower edge of the ribs, and the abdomen was basically exposed outside.
The main reason for wearing this is that the bone demon's fighting method requires a large body movement. Although the bone demon's body is amazingly hard, it is the same as the golem. Like noodles. Therefore, in order to make certain difficult movements, these bone demon's dresses are usually as short as possible, so that there will not be too much restraint, and it will not affect the range of body movement.
In addition, because Bone Demon does not have internal organs, muscles, and skin, they have a strong ability to adapt to temperature. Between minus two baidu and minus 850 degrees are their normal temperature adaptation range, and in most cases they do not need to face temperatures outside this range. Therefore, they do not need clothing to provide protection and thermal insulation, so they naturally do not like clothing with large coverage.
In fact, some players have said in the forum that the bone devil does not like to wear long clothes, and they may also have a beauty in them. After all, they are women, and it is normal to love beauty. And the thing on the surface of the bone demon body is actually the bones instead of the skin, so there are no wrinkles or small pimples on it, and the whiteness is moderate, it will not make you feel pale, but it is really very white The ultimate skin of dreams is just that.
With such good skin, of course, normal people will not cover it, so the legend that the bone devil loves to wear short armors has spread like this, as to whether it is true ... Nobody asked anyway.
I simply discussed the route with Bingxin and Io Riggs. Of course, basically, we kept asking questions. Bing Xin kept answering us. The humanoid iron golem of Io Riggs was basically not able to speak. Can only be a sculpture.
After understanding the mission overview, we did not delay time. After all, we are in a hurry now, so we started the action immediately after mentioning it, and Bing Xin itself was hired, so she naturally did not want to waste more time. Not to mention Io Riggs, this guy is the subordinate of the evil god, naturally hope that we can get this task done quickly.
The starting point of the mission is on the periphery of the city, that is, the shore of the Skull Lake. There is an entrance here. From here, you can enter a long aisle. However, we only completed this aisle in ten minutes. The reason is that this is actually a water slide and a water slide. After we descended from the entrance, we began to accelerate downhill, rushing out at least several kilometers in ten minutes.
What we saw after completing this slide was not a monster cave, but a rather beautiful crystal cave. The walls of this cave are all colored crystals. Unfortunately, these are ordinary crystals. They contain no magic power and are of little use. They are basically meaningless except they can be used as decorations.
This crystal cave is quite large, and it also contains some strange luminous bodies, so the light in the cave is quite beautiful, but this cave is large but not long, so we passed quickly. However, after we passed through the cave, Ao Riggs, who had been very talkative for the first time, took the initiative to speak.
"Be careful. Skeletons live here."
The names of Skeleton Demon and Bone Demon are similar, but the relationship between them is not great. Although both are formed from bones, the bone demon is actually similar to a monster, while the skeleton demon is close to a mutant skeleton soldier.
As long as she doesn't speak and does not make direct contact with a bone demon like Bingxin, it is basically difficult to distinguish her from a normal person. But the skeleton demon is different. These guys are basically mutant skeleton soldiers. What makes them different from ordinary skeleton soldiers is that they will grow a variety of strange structures. For example, there is a very common skeleton demon that has wings on its back. These guys have winged bones on their backs, but they do n’t have muscle or skin tissue, but with such wings they can also shine and fly, after all, this is a magical world.
Generally speaking, the skeleton demon itself is not terrible, because they are low-level undead creatures, and their intelligence is very low, which is about the level of a beast, which can basically be regarded as not having too high intelligence. However, there are two characteristics that these guys hate very much, one is combination regeneration, and the other is group living.
The ability to combine regeneration is very good, because this ability enriches their ability to combine bones at will, which is why the Skeleton Demon is a mutant skeleton soldier, because they will randomly combine their bodies and often make a lot of strange shapes. Come. But this is not the point, the point is ~ EbookFREE.me ~ When you crush a group of skeleton monsters in battle, their remaining bones will often be reorganized into new skeleton monsters. Although some bones were damaged during the battle after the combination, the number after combination must be less and less, but after all, it can be regarded as a disguised rebirth. Therefore, it is often difficult to completely destroy the skeletons. After all, you need to repeatedly kill them many times to completely destroy the skeletons.
As for the second property group ... this property is also terrible. The individual skeleton monsters are not high-level and have ordinary combat power, and most players can easily handle them. Even if ten skeleton monsters act together, it is not a terrible combination. Generally, a player can single out as a skeleton monster, and there is no danger to his own life.
However, although the skeletons are weak, their numbers are often quite scary. Hundreds or thousands of appearances are considered rare. When they appear, tens of thousands are considered normal, and dozens of millions are not surprising. In this case, most players are consumed alive because of insufficient strength.
The reason Io Riggs reminds us to be careful is not that he didn't think the skeleton devil was easy to deal with, but because he had lost more than half of it every time he came with his boss, that evil god. Xiaoyu, and this time Io Riggs reminded him habitually. In fact, after reminding him, he realized that he didn't need to say anything, because this time there are no ordinary people, and all the powerful people came. There is no need to worry about the existence of such a level of skeleton devil. (To be continued ...)
