"Although the negotiation model of one person saying nice things and the other saying harsh words is indeed very practical, your performance is so bad that I still can't let go."
The experienced fraudster commented: "If the female elf could open a few holes in my companion's body, we might be a little nervous, but you are so reserved in our conversation, and you are not willing to give my companion a hard time.
Just having a blunt conversation made me feel a little at ease."
"I shouldn't be your companion, right?" Ashus asked.
"It's definitely not me anyway." Harvey said quietly, "None of my companions can breathe."
Not to mention Igula, a fraudster who collects IQ taxes, and a necromancer who has been involved in the underworld since childhood, even Ash, an innocent young man with no experience in the world, can see at a glance that these two people are singing together, how could he be fooled?
?
Cleos burst into tears: "Forget it if I can't catch Serena... I was actually laughed at by a few people from other lands... Wuwu..."
Ya Xiu was dumbfounded: "No, sister, and when you cry, can you raise the muzzle of the gun a little higher? I'm afraid you won't be able to control it..."
The girl in purple smiled and said: "You are very brave, but if it were me, I would pretend to be ungrateful and sign the contract. Your lives are in my hands. Do you think you have bargaining power?"
"have."
Igulla said calmly: "Although I don't know the specific value, there is no doubt that you need us 'people from foreign lands'. If I guess correctly, people from foreign lands are extremely rare here, and the three of us might be you."
The only bargaining chip that can be grasped."
"In other words, we are now priced but not marketable. If you want to take advantage of us, you must pay attention to our opinions, otherwise you will not be able to find substitutes at all."
"Don't bring up that kind of slave contract, just tell me your true needs."
"Cleos is right," the girl in purple said with a smile: "People like you who can quickly understand the situation but have not listened to the gospel since childhood will become a huge hidden danger sooner or later."
"Thank you for exaggerating."
"But you seem to have forgotten one thing." The girl in purple showed an evil smile: "I need people from a foreign land, but now there are three of them, I still have the right to choose."
She pulled out a piece of contract paper and tore it in half from the middle: "I think I should just need a new slave who is not that smart. Pretty girl, you are out."
Igula was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched: "I am a man!"
"Then," the purple-clothed girl pulled out the second piece of contract paper and made a gesture to tear it apart: "Although I only need one new slave, I don't mind having two slaves if someone knows and knows."
Still no one responded.
Ash and Harvey looked at her calmly, without any fear on their faces, as if they were watching a clumsy drama. At this moment, even the girl in purple couldn't maintain her expression control, gritted her teeth and said, "Are you guys sharing life and death?"
Brother?"
"They just saw through your evil nature." Igula said quietly: "If you really only need one person from a foreign land, then why not let the elf use a bullet to open my skull to see how good it is?
"
"Let's not talk about anything else, but I agree with this sentence." Ya Xiu said: "I want to see if his brain is really dark."
The purple-clothed girl looked at the three of them coldly, her beautiful face was full of coldness, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn. Just when Ash thought that the other party was going to get angry and protect face at all costs, the cries of the children when they were rescued broke.
fell silent.
She sighed, "What kind of fallen country can cultivate such cunning devils as you?"
"I prefer to call it wisdom." Igula said calmly.
The girl in purple took out another complete contract paper from her arms, patted it lightly, and lines of text were immediately revealed.
"That's my bottom line," she said. "Sign it or die here."
Cleos used the three muskets to remove all the miraculous chains from Ash and the other three without harming them at all.
The stowaways had no intention of resisting. Not to mention the dozens of red hats around them. They still wore locking collars around their necks, and the crying female elf behind them was enough to dissuade them from any bold ideas, although it failed.
Catch Serena, but the female elf is most likely also a three-winged sacred magician!
A cult leader of Ash's level is served by Gerald. Serena is obviously higher than Asher in every aspect. Cleos, who is responsible for capturing Serena, cannot be worse than Gerald.
.In addition, Cleos seems to be ranked tenth in the "Red Hat List", so it makes people feel strange that she does not have colorful wings.
As for why the three-winged magician couldn't catch the seemingly weak leader of the cult... with Ashu as a clear example, both Igurra and Harvey thought this was a normal phenomenon.
They obediently picked up the contract and read it. Strange expressions suddenly appeared on their faces, and they looked at each other without speaking.
This time the girl in purple clothes was really angry, her green pupils almost turned into a vertical line full of murderous intent: "You still want to go further?"
Ash raised his hand and said: "No, we just have a request that is not too excessive."
"What request?"
"Can you give us a dictionary?" He showed the contract: "There are some words in it that we can't understand."
In fact, some of the characters are not very understandable, which is due to Ash's modesty. Almost half of the characters are completely incomprehensible. The difference between those characters and Blood Moon characters is not the difference between simplified characters and traditional characters, but the difference between modern characters and Martian characters!
But what’s interesting is that the other half of the text is completely the same as the Blood Moon Kingdom text.
After all, there is almost no contact between different countries. Even if the writing and language are from the same source, they will definitely evolve into two completely unrelated systems over time. Ashu and the others are extremely lucky to be able to barely understand the language here.
It is completely reasonable that I can only understand half of the text.
Ash suddenly remembered that Sword Princess's accent was actually a bit weird, but later he heard that Sword Princess was from the countryside, and Ash thought this was the cuteness of Sword Princess' character...
"Ah, sorry, it was my mistake."
The purple-clothed girl snapped her fingers, and a gorgeously bound amethyst book suddenly appeared in front of her. Perhaps it was because she had heard it many times today, or perhaps it was the strange charm of this book. The moment they saw it, the three of them were fascinated by the book.
Know the name of this book "The Gospel".
"One point is worth one point, so I'll treat you as a treat."
The girl in purple threw three golden melon seeds to them. Igula rubbed them and they felt like jelly material, "What are these?"
"The gospel of mortals, the medium of knowledge, the foundation of omniscience, the enemy of blindness and foolishness, the seed of wisdom."
The girl in purple smiled and said: "If you eat the golden melon seeds of wisdom, you will immediately become proficient in our language."
Blood Moon Kingdom, on the outskirts of Cammon City.
"It's a pity that we can't go to the upper reaches of the waterfall..." Adela sat on the small bench and looked at the scarlet waterfall under the blood moon, with regret on her face.
"Isn't it the same as camping here?" Freya, who was much taller, picked up the pot lid with iron tongs and said, "The river fresh pot is ready. I'm starving to death. I didn't expect that the sky would turn red."
You can eat, but it’s all Adela’s fault that you don’t know how to catch fish…”
"Obviously it's your fault for not being able to make a fire!"
The two of them were noisy but unambiguous in their actions. They scooped up the food, blew the cold air on it, put it into their mouths and let out a satisfied moan.
It is obvious that the two of them are camping. In fact, this camping method is not correct. The correct camping method should be solo camping, because this is a part of the magician's pre-training.
After entering the virtual realm, the magician needs to travel alone in the sea of knowledge and endure challenges such as loneliness, fear, and silence. For social animals like humans, new magicians often need to spend a lot of time adapting to adventures in the virtual realm.
.Therefore, in order to train the will of the magician in advance, apprentices can carry out various activities in reality to simulate virtual adventures.
Camping is a great way to experience it. Wilderness survival is very similar to virtual adventure. Most college students will go camping to experience independent survival, so the probability of encountering bad guys and dying in vain is not low.
But that’s one of the things camping needs: if it’s not life-threatening, there’s no value in the experience!
Therefore, it is wrong for Freya and Adela to go camping like this. It is impossible for them to travel together in the virtual world. Camping together for two people has no training value at all!
Adela had eaten and drank enough, but still looked upstream of the waterfall without giving up: "What did you say happened over there? Why was it sealed as a restricted area?"
The campsite they originally wanted to go to was at the upper reaches of the waterfall. It was said that bears, wolves, dogs and other animals were infested, which was very dangerous. Adela, who loved gambling and excitement, had prepared handguns, bombs and various weapons, and was waiting to keep vigil to play with the animals.
It's a hunter's game. Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I found that the entire area had been sealed off by the Hunting Hall, and no one else was allowed to enter.
"Maybe there is a virtual realm channel." Freya said as she took off her clothes.
"...You want it when you're full?"
"No, I just went to take a bath." Veela pointed to the river next to her and said, "Don't worry, I can still bear it for a night or two."
"What about three nights?"
"Can you not gamble for three days in a row?"
"Then you are so strong." Adela praised: "I can only stop gambling for one day at most."
Seeing the Veela cutely jumping into the scarlet river and playing with the water, Adela secretly exhaled.
Originally, Adela wanted to invite Freya to relax last time, but she ended up relaxing on her own. She felt a little sorry, but even beauty could not seduce the Veela. Adela became more and more convinced that Freya was seriously ill.
.
After much thought, Adela took her camping to experience nature, and the reason was very legitimate. Camping and being harassed and even murdered by homeless people were a must-experience part of college life and had to be tried.
Wait, she went to take a shower, then who washes the dishes and pots?
Adela muttered a few words, but obediently picked up the tableware and went to wash it in the river a little ahead of Freya, trying to disgust the Veela with the oil stains. When Freya saw it from a distance, she knew that her plot was exposed, and swam over as if to please:
"Hey, let me wash a bowl for you."
Plop!
The two looked at the waterfall at the same time, and Adela asked: "Did you hear that?"
"I heard it," Freya nodded: "It seems like something fell in the waterfall. A stone?"
"I don't think so..."
Under the tense gaze of the two people, a cute and petite figure in a black dress appeared in front of them like an abandoned child as the water flowed.
"Lovely big sister, kind-hearted big sister." The wet doll girl said pitifully: "Can you save Serena?"
