Chapter 3277 Thoughts
After confirming that the dragon scale that Angel took out did belong to Lord De, Sibolov felt a little complicated.
Ever since he handed over his favor to Lord De, he had imagined countless times the scene of outsiders asking him to exchange favors. He imagined that close acquaintances asked him to exchange favors, and he also thought about how he would deal with it if his enemies got the dragon scales; he even thought about how he would deal with other races that had nothing to do with him.
In his own opinion, the first two possibilities are the highest, and the last possibility is the lowest.
Because he once asked someone secretly that if he wanted to exchange his favors, he must satisfy Lord De. Lord De has a transcendent status in the Hundred Dragons Kingdom, and the favor exchange he proposed is not something that anyone can take out casually.
So in his opinion, how could a strange race be willing to pay such a high price for a small soldier like him?
The biggest possibility is that friends or enemies who are familiar with his background and have something to do with him will exchange favors.
Sibolov always thought that this conjecture was correct, because he had heard that many people went to the Hundred Dragons Kingdom to consult him for favors, and these people were all his acquaintances without exception.
But even if they were acquaintances, whether friends or enemies, they did not get favors in the end... because they could not afford the price offered by Lord De.
Sibolov thought that his favors might have to wait until he had made achievements, did not rely on backers, and became a real big man, before someone would be willing to pay a high price in exchange.
But he did not expect that someone would exchange for dragon scales so soon.
The most important thing is that the person who exchanged for dragon scales was a stranger who he thought had the lowest probability of appearing.
"I wonder what your name is, sir?" Although Sibolov was in turmoil, he remained calm and respectful on the surface.
He had signed a contract that no matter who held the dragon scales, seeing the dragon scales was like seeing Lord De. Even if it was a newborn child, he had to remain in awe.
However, when asking respectfully, Sibolov was also thinking about many questions.
Was the other party a pure stranger? Or is it slightly related to someone he knows?
Is the other party asking for him? Or the power behind him?
He had actually rehearsed the above questions and how to deal with them in his mind, but when it comes to practice, he still needs to treat them seriously and cautiously.
In addition, he also needs to know an answer: Did the other party find him through the dog butler?
If this matter is also related to the dog butler, he feels that the other party may be asking for a lot... After all, he paid a high price to exchange for favors from Lord De, and he also asked the dog butler to find him. This all shows that the other party is very ambitious, even a little urgent?
While Sibolov was making all kinds of guesses, Angel was also looking at Sibolov.
Sibolov is very similar to the Yingji people in his impression.
Wearing a black military uniform, the slightly tight version sets off his figure quite majestic. Whether it is clothes, trousers or military boots, they are all plain colors. The only bright colors on his body are the silver ornaments and gold belt on his chest, and the ice lion pattern on the button.
The reason why the pattern on the button is mentioned separately is because there is also a silver pattern of the same style on his black eye mask.
Perhaps, this pattern is the emblem of his family?
Putting aside his appearance, his face is also quite handsome, and with his neat black hair, his temperament is outstanding.
No wonder Ksenia is so in love with Sibolov.
Such a face can attract countless girls even in the human world.
Of course, the premise is that they don’t know that there is a blank under Sibolov’s eye mask.
When Angel observes a person, he often starts with the eyes, because the eyes are a person’s outward spiritual label. But Sibolov has no eyes, or rather, his eyes are the black fire floating around him.
It is difficult for Angel to see through Sibolov’s mind from the black fire.
So, if we just talk about his opinion of Sibolov, Angel can’t give it at the moment. Just from some details of his behavior, he should be a very thoughtful person.
"Angel." Angel repeated: "You can call me Angel."
Angel... Sibolov's mind was blank. This was the first time he heard this name. Perhaps, he was really a complete stranger?
Sibolov: "Mr. Angel, are you waiting for me here on purpose?"
Sibolov used a honorific, but the temptation in his words was very strong.
Angel also heard his temptation, but he didn't care about it. Think about it from another perspective. If a stranger suddenly appears with your favor and asks you to do this and that, Angel would also think of testing you.
"I guess so. My friend and the dog butler are old acquaintances. It just so happens that I sensed you in the Wanshiwu through the dragon scales, so I asked the dog butler to help find you." Angel did not hide anything and told the truth.
Sibolov murmured in a low voice: "So, the ghost butler asked me to come here, not to follow the procedures?"
The dog butler coughed: "No. It's true to follow the procedures."
It's true to follow the procedures? So, the two things happened together, is it a coincidence?
Although Sibolov felt that it was a bit too coincidental, as far as he knew, if you commissioned a butler in the Yorozuya, you really had to come to the dog butler to sign the contract.
Forget it, just treat it as a coincidence.
"Don't stand, sit down first and talk later." The dog butler motioned Sibolov to take a seat.
Sipolov nodded and sat on the tail seat obediently, facing Angel diagonally.
After Sipolov took his seat, Butler Dog looked at Sipolov: "Should you talk first, or should I sign the contract with Sipolov first?"
Angel said it didn't matter.
Sipolov was silent for a moment: "If Mr. Angel and I talk first, will I be neglecting the deacon?"
Dog Butler waved his paw: "Don't pay attention to me, I'm just a middleman."
Luigi murmured: "No, you're a middle dog."
Dog Butler: "..."
Sipolov also noticed the presence of Luigi and Laplace, but he had never seen these two before, so he ignored them for the time being. But judging from Luigi's dare to make a joke about the Butler, Angel's previous statement that the Butler is an old acquaintance of his friends should be true.
Sipolov: "Then let me talk to Mr. Angel first?"
Sipolov actually wanted to go through the process with the Dog Butler first and complete his commission, but according to the contract he signed at the time, seeing a dragon scale is like seeing a lord of virtue. At this time, he could not simply regard Angel as a stranger. He had to treat Angel as a stranger. Consider the identity of Mr. De.
On one side is the dog butler, on the other is "Toku-sama"; on the other side is the commission that can be temporarily postponed, and on the other side is the communication with "Toku-sama".
It seems like you have to choose one of the two, but in fact you have no choice.
Angel: "Okay."
Sipolov continued to ask: "Do we need to talk alone?"
Angel shook his head: "No, they are all my friends, and they were also there when I exchanged favors from the Kingdom of Hundred Dragons."
The implication is that they know what Angel is going to do and there is no need to deliberately avoid it.
Sipolov relaxed a little after hearing this answer.
Because the other party is willing to talk openly and even does not shy away from being a dog steward, which means that what the other party wants may be more honest than a frivolous thing?
Although Sipolov felt a little more relaxed, he was still very cautious about Angel's possible requests: "Mr. Angel, when I handed over the favor to Mr. De, I made two requests..."
Angel nodded knowingly; "I know, I will comply."
First, if what he is asking for is related to Sipolov, he can agree to it as long as it is not a life-or-death situation; second, if it is related to Sipolov's family, he cannot make a decision and needs to let him know first. Viewed by family members.
To put it simply, Sipolov is not afraid of death, but he will not do anything that requires death. Also, Sipolov's favors can only represent himself, and he cannot make decisions for others, even if that person is his family.
In Angel's opinion, these two requirements are not excessive.
"Since sir already knows, I won't say more." Seeing that Angel gave an affirmative answer without any excuse, Sipolov felt relieved.
He was afraid that Angel would make excessive demands.
Since the other party didn't mean this, maybe his request was really "above and aboveboard."
Angel: "I do want something in exchange for your favor this time. You may have discovered that I am a wizard. In fact, in addition to being a wizard, I am also an alchemist..."
Soon, Sipolov finished listening to Angel's request.
After listening to Angel's request, Sipolov's expression became a little stiff... He had imagined various requests made by Angel, but he never expected that what the other party wanted was actually anger? ! !
This is indeed "above and aboveboard", but it is too "big"!
"This matter... I am sorry that it is difficult for me to help. I, I am just an insignificant knight. I may have a voice in the army, but the Heart Fire Palace and the army are two completely different systems."
The Heart Fire Palace has a very high status among the Yingji clan, and can even be said to be a high-ranking holy land.
The Yingji people are famous for fighting and militarized management.
Therefore, the military system of the Yingji people is very rigorous, from top to bottom, not allowing a grain of sand.
With the exception of the Heart Fire Palace, in the entire Yingji clan, only the Heart Fire Palace has an independent military system. The soldiers of the Heart Fire Palace are not even controlled by other superiors at all. The only ones who can influence the Heart Fire Palace are the generals.
But how many generals do the Yingji have?
Sipolov, on the other hand, is not even a lieutenant. He is even more miles away from the general. It is absolutely impossible for him to intervene in the Heart Fire Palace.
Angel had already learned about the situation of the Yingji tribe from Gleipnir and Sage Pika before. Naturally, he also knew that from Sipolov's standpoint, it would be difficult for him to have direct knowledge of the Heart Fire Palace. put one's oar in.
Therefore, he was not surprised when Sipolov refused.
He himself never thought Sipolov could accomplish this.
"I understand your position, and I don't expect success." Angel: "My request is that you introduce me to a general who can participate in this matter, and if possible, help me mediate it. Can."
"Whether it succeeds in the end or not, it doesn't matter."
Angel paused and said, "If that doesn't work, you can just find someone and let me study the inner fire for a while."
Sipolov roughly understood what Angel meant.
To put it more seriously, Angel hopes to obtain a heart fire, so if he wants to achieve this, he must have the approval of the admiral. If he takes this route, Angel hopes that Sipolov will mediate and introduce him to a general who can decide where the heart will belong.
To put it more seriously, if Angel cannot obtain the Heart Fire, then he can arrange for a person from the Yingji tribe to study the Heart Fire.
Sipolov can actually do these two things.
His grandfather once won the title of honorary commander and was also the teacher of the current supreme commander of the Ice Kingdom.
The current supreme commander of the Yingji tribe is the only three-star general of the Yingji tribe. Through this relationship, he could introduce Angel to the supreme commander.
As for Angel's desire to study Heart Fire, this is also very simple.
There is no problem in letting his subordinates hand over their inner fire to Angel for research.
It is even said that Sipolov can give his inner fire to Angel for study.
Although Sipolov's inner fire is very special, special does not mean excellence. His inner fire is completely different from the inner fire of the Yingji people. If Angel can really study something from the inner fire, it would be better to study his inner fire to prevent Angel from prying into the mystery of the public's inner fire.
In short, neither of these is difficult for Sipolov.
Of course, the premise is that Angel really only intends to do this step.
If Angel is hiding something, seemingly out of anger, but actually has other intentions; or if he changes his mind halfway and even plans to use him to threaten grandpa, then it will be difficult to tell what will happen next.
However, Sipolov also knew that it was not the time to suspect these groundless things. Just take the possibility into consideration, there is no need to dwell on it now.
Now, it still depends on what Angel said at the moment. After all, the favor is still in his hands.
"Okay." Sipolov nodded: "If sir agrees, I can contact General Oleg later."
Perhaps seeing Angel's doubts, Sipolov added: "Admiral Oleg is a one-star general of the Ice Kingdom. He is also the leader who led the Yingji tribe to participate in the gathering this time. Currently in Crystal City, The only person who has the right to prevent outsiders from entering the Heart Fire Palace is Admiral Oleg.”
Angel naturally would not refuse: "Okay."
After a pause, Angel asked: "Then shall we make a contract now?"
Sipolov hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait until you meet General Oleg. If General Oleg doesn't agree, I can help you contact other people."
It is definitely the most cost-effective to make a contract now. If Oleg disagrees, it is not Sipolov's fault. At that time, all we need to do is find a Yingji tribe and let Angel study Xinhuo for a while.
But Sipolov also has his own pride.
The weapons that Master De refined for him made him a famous knight, and he was able to sweep thousands of armies on the battlefield.
Comparing the gains and losses, what he did and the price he paid were not even enough for Lord De.
Favors are weighed and cannot be equal.
Even though he took advantage, Sipolov deserved it.
What's more, Sipolov has a lot on his mind. Angel doesn't seem to be a fool. He must have spent a lot of money to obtain the favor from Mr. De. If he can just prevaricate it so easily, there must be fraud behind it.
He is a proud Yingji soldier with his own principles, but he is not a Piluxiu who likes to take advantage. There is no need to bring things to this point.
