When Uncle Crackle shouted the word "Wait a minute," Adrian stopped listening to what Uncle Crackle said. He turned his back to Uncle Crackle with a proud smile on his face. It was so simple. The so-called negotiation is actually a
The process of testing each other's bottom line, based on the fact that Uncle Crackle has called him anxiously several times now, can only mean one thing. This Uncle Crackle's bottom line will be very low, and more importantly, he knows it.
So Adrian turned around gracefully. Because he didn't know where the real body of this crackling man was, Adrian could only focus on the keel table lamp. After all, this crackling man turned it on by himself.
This desk lamp only appeared later. Now it seems that if this desk lamp is not the body of the crackling uncle, it is at least his switch. After carefully observing the desk lamp, Adrian said indifferently:
"Then, Mr. Crackle, what else do you have to do? It's been a long time since I've disturbed you. Besides, we've already got what we want. We really shouldn't disturb your great sleep anymore. Besides, we still have a lot of things to do.
I have to deal with it, so I think my friends and I should leave here as soon as possible."
Most of the time, retreating in order to advance is more effective than rushing in. For example, right now, after Adrian repeatedly expressed his disinterest and intention to leave, all of Uncle Crackle's negotiation capital was invisible.
was rejected by Adrian. As for what the crackling uncle asked for, Adrian understood after a moment of thought. The other party's core request should be to just leave here. This is not difficult to guess. According to the tone and tone of the other party's words,
To put it in words and sentences, the other person is not the kind of character who can stay alone. After countless years of loneliness, it is a miracle that no one in him has gone crazy due to the torture of loneliness.
"..." Faced with Adrian who didn't take him seriously, Uncle Crackle said that he was very tired. On the one hand, he didn't want to lose his face and beg Adrian to take him away. He still wanted to get enough or say
Extra attention and treatment, but on the other hand, he really doesn't want to endure a lonely life anymore. This is a cruel time of tens of thousands of years, and Adrian is right, it is not realistic for him to wait for the opportunity to leave.
, even if it was still possible, it would mean that he would have to go through a long and cruel time that would drive people crazy, and he didn't want to do this anymore.
Uncle Crackle seemed to be still organizing his words. He wanted to find a suitable way to appeal to Adrian decently and accurately, preferably without paying any price, but Adrian seemed to have no patience anymore.
With an impatient expression, he said to Uncle Crackle in a polite but impatient tone: "Since you have nothing else to do, then I really have to go with you. Goodbye, Uncle Crackle. I wish you a good dream, Bron.
close the door."
What Adrian was thinking was that since he had a chance to win anyway, he would just let it go completely. As for the matter of Uncle Crackle not taking the bait, Adrian had also considered it, but he didn't really care. At most, he would just come back later, and he didn't
Get out of here in a hurry. This ruins is huge, and it was formed by the divine power of Hecatera infecting the ruins of Bega Pompeii. There are so many things to explore, and they won’t be explored so quickly. Anyway, the days are long.
That’s it.
Bronn responded to Adrian's order faithfully and quickly. He looked like a scholar like Adrian, bowed slightly to the interior of the library, and then pulled the door handles of the two doors, intending to completely close the doors. They were in disrepair and lacked
The lubricated door made an unpleasant creaking sound, which seemed to have shattered the last bit of Mr. Papa's reserve. He said dejectedly in his grand voice: "Okay, you win, what do you want?"
What?"
A smile appeared on Adrian's lips: "You still haven't understood the situation. Uncle Crackle, the current situation is not that I want to ask you for anything, but that I, the high-ranking elf Adrian, generously gives you a
Your dream choice.”
"What choice? Do I still have a choice now?" The majestic voice of the crackling boss could no longer hide his panic and confusion. His most feared thing had still happened.
"Of course, of course you still have a choice. I have always believed that no matter what kind of creature he is, no matter what he has done, even at the last moment of his life, he still has the right to choose, and I am willing to give everyone
Every living being is given a chance to make such a choice. Now, the choice I give you is loneliness or surrender. Of course, you don’t have to answer me now. I will stay here for a while. You can take your time.
consider."
"Isn't there a third option?" Mr. Crackle is still feeling lucky now. He asked tentatively. This kind of grand tone with a cautious and funny voice really made people laugh. Adrian couldn't help it.
There was no sound of laughter, but Tia and Ling couldn't help laughing, and even Qing curled up the corners of his lips unnaturally, as if he was laughing too.
"Of course~" Adrian's tone couldn't help but become more relaxed. At least this crackling boss was very talented at making jokes, which made Adrian want to joke too: "Of course~ Of course not.
It’s the third option. I guess taking you away will either have to pay a price or it will be very troublesome. I won’t solve trouble for anyone other than myself.”
"Then, let me think about it." There was no self-respect or pride in the loud voice of the crackling boss, but he also had no intention of begging Adrian in a low voice. It was obvious that he had been abandoned and imprisoned for tens of thousands of years.
For tens of thousands of years, he really wants to leave, but he is not willing to lose his freedom to leave.
This situation made Adrian realize that he had to add fire, or to put it another way, it was time to close the net, so Adrian still said in a polite but casual tone: "Then you think about it slowly, Uncle Crackle.
, we will leave for now. By the way, we will help you check the doors and windows before leaving. After all, this library has been soaked in the sea water full of cursed power for so long, and this door has been opened by us.
It has passed, so we will definitely check the sealing of this gate carefully. Please rest assured that we will completely seal this gate to ensure that seawater cannot enter."
At this moment, Uncle Crackle wished that he could kill Adrian and seal the door completely? In other words, you might not come again? You are a bit hypocritical. You keep saying that you will give me a chance to choose and time to think about it, but once
Close the door if you disagree?
Looking at Bronn who was really about to close the door, Uncle Crackle no longer cared about freedom, reserve and other "unimportant things". If the door was closed, he really didn't know what else to do.
Is there any chance that it will be opened again? So he said almost pleadingly with his grand voice:
"Please accept my allegiance, people who are about to become my masters. By the way, to whom will I offer my loyalty? Is it this high-ranking elf or this high-ranking dragon lady?"
Adrian thought in his heart, what the hell, this guy actually tried this trick? Is he trying to sow discord within the team? But are you thinking too much, so Adrian said calmly: "Miss Tia, look
For the sake of the same clan, you should accept this Old Man Cracking, well, I would like to exchange it for the Crescent Staff."
Tia hesitated for a moment and asked: "Pippa... that uncle, what kind of dragon were you before?"
"Green... green dragon." Uncle Crackle's words revealed a guilty conscience, but in the end he still told the truth. He felt that five different upper powers and even higher-level powers were spreading in the library. Obviously, if
If he told lies, he might not be left here, but might be killed.
After listening to Uncle Crackle's words, Tia's face flashed with fire. She just called a green dragon uncle? Sona also stared at the dragon bone lamp with an unkind look on her face. It seemed that as long as Tia gave the order, she would call this green dragon uncle.
A shameless lamp was destroyed.
But Tia did not issue such an order in the end. She said calmly to Adrian: "I don't want the dragon soul of a green dragon. Sir Adrian, if you really want the Crescent Staff, then
Just exchange it for another harvest."
Adrian shrugged, smiled at Tia, and then said to Uncle Crackle: "Well, if that's the case, you see, Uncle Crackle, Miss Tia doesn't want you, and I don't think you have anything.
Value, then I'm sorry, you should continue to stay here and continue your great sleep, Bronn, close the door, our class still has a lot of things to do..."
"Wait, what do you want? I can give you endless knowledge and wealth, which are the knowledge inherited by the people of Bega and Pompeii from the ancient age of gods. I also know all the secrets of Bega and Pompeii, including the city's treasures.
location, believe me, without me, you will definitely not be able to find their urban treasures. I am valuable, I am really valuable, please take me away, please, I can't stand this loneliness.
, too long..."
I don't know if it was Adrian's illusion, but he actually heard a hint of choking in Uncle Crackle's loud voice. In addition, the combination of the three words "Pompei's urban treasures" was indeed very tempting, so Ai...
Derian stopped Bronn from closing the door "to avoid difficulty" and said calmly:
"You'd better not lie, Uncle Crackle... Well, if you can guarantee that what you tell is true, I can't consider taking you away. Well, I can't always call you Uncle Crackle. Now, tell me
I'm your real name."
Uncle Crackle hesitated for a long time, but this time Adrian showed enough patience. He did not rush, but just waited quietly. It was not until five or six minutes passed that Uncle Crackle's loud voice sounded again:
"If you are asking about my real name when I was a green dragon, then my name is Amalika."
Adrian didn't feel much about this name, and Tia only felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but Sona ignored the etiquette and exclaimed: "Evil Deceiver Amalika?"
