Chapter 1001 Extraordinary Stone Flakes

Passing through the snowy streets, Azima stepped into Neverwinter's Castle District once again.

Although it was a little unusual to summon her to the past after nightfall, out of trust in Wendy, she agreed to the trip and left Doris, who wanted to go with her, in the house.

In the event of... something unexpected, at least it won't affect her partner.

Standing outside the gate of the castle, Azima couldn't help tightening her collar.

"Is it cold?" Wendy glanced at her with a smile, "Don't worry, you'll take it off soon after you go in."

Wait... off?

Could it be that what His Majesty wants to talk about is——

"Please come in, Mrs. Wendy." Just when she was in doubt, the door suddenly opened slowly to both sides. After the personal guard saluted the two, he made a gesture of invitation, "Your Majesty is in the study at the moment. I have responsibilities, so I won’t take you up there.”

"Thank you," Wendy nodded, took Azima's hand, and led her into the castle.

In an instant, a gust of warm wind dispelled all the wind and cold, wrapping her whole body.

It turns out...is this the heating system?

Although she knew that high-end houses have such brand-new heating equipment that can keep warm without an open flame, she still felt a little shocked when she actually experienced it.

The attendants walking back and forth in the castle were all wearing nice and light summer clothes. Single clothes and long skirts could be seen everywhere. In a corner of the restaurant, many witches didn't even wear shoes, running around on the carpet with bare feet. Compared with the scene in autumn, it is more like summer now, which made her doubt her guess again.

He really built Neverwinter here for enjoyment!

On the other hand, Wendy has already taken off her coat, and blinked at her, "If you don't take it off, you will sweat soon. If you go out again at that time, you will be blown by the cold wind, and you will catch a cold by accident." It's troublesome."

"I, I know."

Azima unbuttoned her clothes a little stiffly, and involuntarily glanced at the other person's chest—although hers were not too small, there was still a big gap in front of Wendy.

If His Majesty really has that kind of thought...how could it be impossible to find him?

With such self-deprecating thoughts, she followed Wendy up to the third floor and entered the lord's study.

"Your Majesty, Azima is here."

"I salute you, Your Majesty."

Azima bent down, scanned the people in the room one by one with her peripheral vision, and finally landed on a gray-haired man behind the desk.

The one opposite is the King of Graycastle. She realized that she had only seen his figure from a distance at the banquet before she got rid of the Maleficent Curse. Now it is the first time to observe him at a close distance, and it is the first thing that comes to mind. My feeling is: the king of Graycastle is too young.

Before he was thirty, he defeated other brothers and sisters, defeated the church, and directly and cleanly acquired all the kingdom's territory. Is this really what a person of his age can do?

She could openly raise objections to Tilly, but she couldn't deal with her with the same attitude—once they left Neverwinter, Maleficent would have nothing to do with them, but unless everyone escaped from Graycastle, anywhere in the kingdom, will be under the control of this man. Even if she is not afraid of authority alone, she can't help thinking of Doris and the others.

"There is no need to be too polite," the king's voice sounded very peaceful. "In fact, I have long wanted to see you. It is also urgent to choose the evening, because your ability is of great significance to the kingdom. Now that the time has come, I don't want to wait another day."

"..." Azima raised her head in surprise, "You mean, you want to recruit me?"

And it seems to be a special recruitment - for jobs that require the use of abilities, the prices offered by the Witch Union are often higher.

But when he said the timing... what did he mean?

"That's right, a fixed contract, the reward is quite impressive." Roland held up his teacup and took a sip, "Two golden dragons every month, until you complete the task, and you will be rewarded another fifty gold dragons. What do you think? "

Azima couldn't help jumping in her heart, not to mention the reward, the salary of two golden dragons per month alone was already equal to the subsidy of Maleficent. With this income, she can not only solve the living expenses independently, but also help her partners in turn! As for the final payment of fifty gold dragons, it is a good choice whether it is used as the capital to leave, or to let Baili and the others who have found their relatives buy a bigger house.

This recruitment came just in time!

However, her long-term wandering career also made her understand that there is never a free pancake in this world, and using profit as a bait to lure people into a trap is even more a trick of the nobles. Even if the other party is the ruler of this kingdom, he can't relax his vigilance because of this, "The reward is indeed considerable, but I must first know what you want me to do before I can give an answer."

Her ability is the most practical in the wilderness. Finding water sources, beast nests and fruits are all good at it, but Neverwinter really doesn't seem to lack these things.

"It's very simple, help me find a kind of stone." Roland took out a box from the drawer, opened it and put it on the table. "This shouldn't be a problem for you."

"Can I see it?"

"certainly."

Azima stepped forward and held the contents of the box in her palm—it was about the size of a thumb, in the shape of a sheet, with a smooth and cold surface, and had obviously been carefully polished. coins. In addition, it is all gray and black in color, and there is nothing outstanding about it at all. It is hard to imagine that this thing will arouse His Majesty's interest.

She hesitated, "If it's just stones, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to find the source you want. When I was on Sleeping Island, I was entrusted by the Chamber of Commerce to find the source of gems, but my ability guided them to the Scorching Fire Islands. —there's nothing in there but hot and dry sparklers. Maleficent paid for a trip to sea for that."

"I guess those should be bauxite. In terms of composition, it is indeed the source of gems." Roland chuckled lightly, "As for whether you can find what I want, you can try it now. try."

Are those black bumps and gemstones the same thing? Azima suppressed the doubts in her heart, and cast her ability on the stone in her hand according to her words - in an instant, a dazzling green light shot out from her hand, almost occupying half of her field of vision! The brilliance of its light is no less than that of the lights in the castle!

And in the king's desk, a green light also bloomed——

She couldn't help but froze in place.

Only she can see the light. It can not only indicate the direction of the source, but also show the enrichment of the source. Most of the time, it is densely distributed in the surrounding world like fireflies. According to the instructions of continuous merger , she can find the next convergence point from one convergence point.

It is not surprising that the other party hid the other part of the stone tablet in the table. This is just a simple test to confirm whether her ability will work. But what surprised Azima was the intensity of the beam of light—this meant that the unremarkable piece of stone in her hand, as well as the one still hidden in the table, belonged to the source level!

This is the first time she has seen such a small source level!

But... how is it possible?

Before going to Sleeping Island, she got a golden dragon by chance, and then thought about using her ability to find more coins that were accidentally lost—although this idea was not realized in the end, after all, there are few riches without a master. There were very few of them, and most of the pointers came from other people's pockets. Even if she knew it, she was helpless, but it also allowed her to find out the nearby source.

The strongest reaction at that time was undoubtedly the underground vault of the lord's castle, but even compared with that kind of light, this green light is not inferior!

Could it be... the rarity of this thing is hundreds of times higher than gold? nt
