Main Text Volume Chapter 149 Goodbye David
Angel looked up and saw a figure wearing an antenna helmet, sneaking around his door.
The fence in the yard was quite high, so he could only see the metal helmet with the antenna, but even so, Angel guessed the identity of the person coming.
"David?" Angel rested his chin on the fence and lazily greeted the people outside.
The person coming was none other than David. Although the brown goggles covered most of his face, his appearance and figure were unmistakable to Angel.
David took off his goggles and smiled dryly at Angel.
"Why did you come to me?" Angel was still leaning on the fence talking to David, with no intention of opening the door.
David pinched his forehead, lowered his head and muttered something vaguely.
Angel: "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?"
David raised his head and smiled flatteringly at Angel: "Angel, I want to ask you to do me a favor..."
Angel narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously: "What are you busy with?"
David was slightly embarrassed and took out a familiar object from his bag: the cross fan blades, the threaded rod, the simple shape...it was basically the original spiral aircraft with huge flaws.
"Angel, I...I made it again, ahem...I would like to ask Toby to help me try it again." David blinked his watery eyes with an expectant look on his face.
Angel smiled slightly.
David smiled too.
The next second, Angel retracted his smile, his expression fell, and he waved to David: "Goodbye, no send-off."
David's expression froze, and when he saw Angel turning around and leaving, he quickly shouted:
"Angel!! Give me a chance!! Little Toby, please help my brother!"
Angel sat back on the bench under the mistletoe, picked up the book and continued to bask in the sun, completely ignoring David's cry: The sunshine is really nice today, but it's just a little noisy.
David yelled for a long time, his voice almost crying.
Toby was resting in the tree, but was woken up by David's cry of mourning. It circled in the air and then landed on Angel's shoulder.
David howled louder when he saw the rightful owner appeared.
At this time, Angel also explained David's purpose to Toby. After hearing this, Toby made an "X" shape with his wings and refused without hesitation.
"Stop howling. Don't add the suffix 'little darling' at will. Next, I don't believe in your alchemy skills. Finally, if Toby doesn't agree to help you, there's nothing I can do." Angel's voice was clear and clear, like summer. The lake water, rippled by the wind, faintly reached David's ears.
"This second-generation spiral aircraft is absolutely flawless. I have also installed the steering device. There will definitely be no problems! Angel, just try it for me. I will pay you in return!! Little Toby! , please!" David shouted outside the door.
When Toby heard "paid reward", he suddenly paused.
Then, Toby kept gesticulating beside Angel, pointing in the direction of the attic from time to time.
"You mean, if David gives you another Echo Flower, you will agree?" Angel guessed Toby's thoughts.
Toby nodded immediately. It has also considered it. Anyway, it can fly on its own. If something goes wrong with the aircraft, it won't fall to death, right? If you help me test it, I can get another Echo Flower, so wouldn't it be able to perform one more duet?
After getting along with each other these days, Angel also knew why Toby liked the Echo Flower. Toby seemed to have a strange obsession with sounds, or in other words, with music. While he was practicing, Toby was studying in the attic every day how to make the sound crisper and how to make the echo flower match its beautiful throat sound to achieve the effect of a duet.
Angel remembered that there was a large amount of earth music stored in the holographic tablet. After the remaining four sides were calculated, Angel decided to play it to Toby when he had time to cultivate his "aesthetic" ability.
Since Toby agreed, Angel was in no position to refuse. However, he is not like Toby, who is so small-minded that he can be bribed with an echo flower...
Angel rolled his eyes, and he started to make plans.
Walking to the fence, David saw this and showed his pleading eyes like an abandoned puppy.
Angel sneered coldly in his heart, he didn't like being cute.
"It's not impossible to promise you, but you have to agree to my three conditions, otherwise there will be no negotiation." Angel crossed his arms across his chest, with a look of 'bye bye if you don't agree'.
David swallowed, feeling that if he agreed, he would be tricked by Angel. He actually wanted to find an ordinary bunny to test the aircraft, but the bunny's intelligence was too low and he couldn't control the steering! It took him more than two months to design a steering system that no ordinary beast could control. Only a monster with a high IQ like Tobi can control it.
——To be honest, this is the first time David has seen a monster with a high IQ comparable to an adult, but with such low strength and such a small stature.
"Which three conditions?" David asked weakly, with an expression that if Angel set the conditions too high, he would immediately faint.
"First, I need some information about the Sky Tower." Angel started with the condition of relatively low lethality. The reason why he asked for information about the Sky Tower was actually because he coveted the witchcraft garden in the Sky Mechanical City. I wanted to see if I could pass David and find a way to reach the top easily without much trouble and fatigue.
"The information on the Sky Tower, this is no problem. In order to prepare for the participation... ahem, my friend wants to participate. I have collected some information for him, and I guarantee it is very informative!" When David heard the first condition, he thought in his heart He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Angel's heart was as good as his appearance.
"Second, after all, it was Toby who contributed, and you have to give Toby some reward." Toby also flew over at this time, standing on Angel's head with a high profile.
"That's no problem!" Toby knew that he would definitely bleed once today, and he only hoped that Toby's mind could be as beautiful as Angel's.
Angel pretended to exchange a few words with Toby, then turned to look at David.
"Toby has already told me that if you want to ask it for help, you must give it some echo flowers." Angel deliberately increased the quantifier of "some" and carefully observed David's expression, pondering his bottom line. .
An Echo Flower sells for 128 contribution points, which translates into a little more than 1 magic crystal. David's monthly salary from working at the Prome Alchemy Shop is 5 magic crystals, and an Echo Flower is equivalent to his fifth. One salary.
A look of confusion flashed across David's face. He could bear it through gritted teeth if there were only two flowers, but if there were four flowers, he would have no choice.
"Three! Toby said he wanted three!" Angel observed David's expression for a long time and finally set the price.
"Three? That's too much. I only earn two magic crystals a month!" David cried in mourning. Three was indeed his minimum price, but if he could get a little less, it would be a little less, so he decided to be shameless. Cry poor!
However, Angel ignored David's shouting at all. Instead, the old god watched David's crying scene with a show-watching expression.
In the end, David gritted his teeth and recognized three echo flowers. But deep down in my heart, I was cursing Toby fiercely. Why did this vicious bird not learn any benefit from Angel? It turned out that Angel had the best heart!
Toby, who was completely unaware of being cursed by David, had an elated expression at this time. He originally just wanted to blackmail an Echo Flower, but he didn't expect that his little master would be so powerful. Multiplied by 3, he could already predict Here comes the scene of the Toby Concert Quartet from the future!
"Third..." Just as Angel was about to say the third condition, David quickly raised the white flag and surrendered.
David's eyes were full of tears: "Let me tell you first, my salary for this month is gone!"
Angel smiled gently at David: "Don't worry, I don't want your money."
David was soothed by the gentle smile, put away his tears, and looked at Angel tenderly.
"In the past few days, I have been preparing to advance to the wizard apprenticeship."
David: "Congratulations then! However, I heard that most of the talented people of your generation have received invitations from mentors and have been taught by mentors. Judging from the time, your promotion rate is too slow. "
Angelhun said nonchalantly: "I can't help it, my talent is too poor."
Hearing Angel's words, David seemed to see a good young man who wrapped his self-deprecating words with a strong heart and worked hard even if he lacked talent. David instantly took on the role of himself. He himself was just averagely talented. Although he was not a top performer, it was difficult for him to make progress...
In an instant, David felt very fond of Angel.
David said excitedly: "Angel, if you have any request, just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!"
Seeing David's expression change, Angel was stunned for a moment, wondering what was going on with David. But from his tone, it seemed that the topic had not derailed.
Angel coughed twice and said: "I accidentally got an alchemy introductory manual, so I want to learn alchemy after being promoted to apprentice. My third condition is to purchase some alchemy from Promi Alchemy Shop. Of course, I will pay the price for the alchemy materials, I just hope they can be given to me at the market price.”
Angel's third request was originally not intended to be a big deal, but he just wanted a stable material supply chain. As a worker at Prome's Alchemy Shop, David must have been in business for a long time in collecting and selling materials, so buying from David was much more reliable than a layman like him going out to look for them randomly.
After hearing Angel's third request, David was not surprised. Books on introductory alchemy are available in many places. Many newcomers to the wizarding world are full of longing for the extremely profitable industry of alchemy, and there are many who want to make money in this industry. But the vast majority of people will gradually give up on alchemy as time goes by. Because this line of work really depends on talent.
David looked at Angel as if he were seeing himself before. With his passion, he plunged headlong into the pit of alchemy, and now he can't do well at a high level or at a low level. His combat power is not good because he spends all his time on alchemy; alchemy is also not good because his talent is average and he has no inheritance. It took him five years in the industry to refine his first work: a spiral aircraft.
And it's still a defective product. David was filled with sadness when he thought of this.
"That's no problem. I can even transfer some materials that Master Prome doesn't need to you at the original price." David paused, with a trace of worry on his face: "But Angel, you have to think clearly about the alchemy industry. It’s not that easy to get started.”
Angel smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just an experiment anyway. If you don't have the talent, you can probably switch to other side jobs."
