Chapter 133 Negotiation (Recommendation Ticket Requested)
(It will be on the shelves tomorrow, reserve a monthly pass, the incendiary bombs have been packed, ready for a big explosion!)
Maru stared intently at Arthur's experiment. This was his latest engraved design. The crossbow was too complicated to learn, and it was relatively unique. It was difficult to dig out the exact attributes. The failure rate was equal to 100%, and it was not popular. But this new shield is another matter. Like the buckler, it will have a great influence.
Maru watched and admired, it was amazing that a shield could be made like this.
"Maru, have you ever been to the beast spirit world?"
"Occasionally, but very rarely recently." Maru was surprised that Arthur would ask this question.
"Our engraving tools were also taken there, which is really troublesome."
"That's right. At the beginning, there were a few more, but later on there were more than a dozen miscellaneous items. It was really troublesome." Maru nodded, "So I don't bother to pass them when I get older."
Zou Liang confirmed his guess. In the beast spirit world, his soul is of Zou Liang's nature, but in reality, his soul is of Arthur's nature.
After living for such a long time, especially in the underground world, Zou Liang discovered the previous misunderstanding, that is, fixing the attributes is not rigid, on the contrary, it is easier to play. If it is in the form of a beast spirit, there will be an extra process of transformation, but it will be less of a process if it is fixed.
When encountering a dangerous place like the second floor of the underground world, people's consciousness defense is obviously not as good as the equipment's defense at any time.
Coming out of the Ichthyosaur Realm, Zou Liang considered building equipment for himself. As for the Beast Spirit Realm, as long as there is a surplus of six or seven points, it is almost the same. For further plans, he has to experiment step by step. Of course, Zou Liang also wants to dig more attributes. The equipment he gives himself must be the most extreme.
After practicing for a while, the chief priest summoned him. Zou Liang put down his work and went to see the cheap master.
"Master Wan'an, you went out for a walk, and you are full of glory. It seems that the offerings below are very rich."
"You brat, you're good at teasing. Two pieces of news, one good and one bad, which one do you want to hear first?" Thomas laughed.
"Listen first, let the good days go first." Zou Liang shrugged and said, but from Thomas' eyes, he saw that the situation was not good.
"The good thing is that the old guy Sam Anton had a miserable life in Daros. I heard that he was criticized by that old fox Victor. He might not be able to get along anymore." Thomas laughed, but there was not much joy in his smile. He and Sam Anton were old classmates.
"What about the bad things?"
"This year, our offering in Jerusalem is already the first, but some people are restless, and they unite with several chief priests to propose that it is only fair to use the sum of the past five years."
Thomas said lightly.
"Five years, spicy bastard, why don't these hooligans count from twenty years ago!"
"They are thinking, but we are doomed. Lord Shaman helped us win three years, but we fell to the eighth place. There is still one month left, and there is a difference of 50,000 gold coins." Thomas looked at his precious apprentice with a smile.
Zou Liang was still thinking about it, and was taken aback by the 50,000 gold coins. He simply snatched the Pope for 50,000 gold coins a month.
"Ahem, master, don't look at me like that, old man, I have no money, even if I sell myself, I'm not worth a few copper coins." Zou Liang waved his hand quickly.
"Arthur, how does the master treat you?" Thomas said with a smile.
"This is, well, very good, but..."
"That's right, you can be a teacher for a day and be a father for life. You are now in the temple, and the master is fully supportive. We have worked so hard and fell on the starting line. Are you willing?" Thomas said emotionally.
Grandma and Bill, the old magic stick, also use this trick on me.
But there is no way, who makes someone a master.
"Fifty thousand gold coins is a little too much, but I believe you must have a solution. The Shaman Lord said, make up this piece, and I, the red-clothed high priest, will be settled. Your master only left a sentence, no matter White Kate or Black Kyle, the one who catches the mouse is the good Kate!"
For a smart apprentice like himself, the chief priest doesn't have to hide it. At the last moment, no matter if he is tricked or cheated, the fifty thousand gold coins must be covered!
But at present, the offerings of all the major forces in Jerusalem are almost at their limit. If they want to dig for money, there may be troubles, and no one knows what to provoke. Maybe the money is not made and they will cause trouble. However, when encountering problems that cannot be solved, Thomas has become accustomed to thinking of his cheap apprentice.
Anyway, he was at his wit's end, and even looted the towns near Jerusalem.
Zou Liang was also thinking about it, but unfortunately he is not a chicken that lays golden eggs. Where can I get the 50,000 gold coins?
He didn't intend to deduct it from his brother, after all, these were all to be handed over, and if they couldn't be taken from his own people, they had to be taken from his opponent, a rich opponent.
"Master, you just said that Chairman Sam Anton is having a hard time right now?"
Thomas was taken aback, "Why did you think of him, you don't want him to support me, do you?"
"Master, you see, we always have such a good understanding. In Jerusalem, who has the strength to give out 50,000 gold coins, is there another place besides the president of the Engraving Master Guild?" Zou Liang smiled slyly.
"You're a fool when Sam settles him down, rescue the opponent, unless he's gone mad."
"Hehe, master, you are wrong. Not only is he not confused, but he is very smart. It is much easier to talk with smart people."
"oh?"
Thomas was anxious, and Sam Anton was even more anxious. He didn't have that much time to wait. Face was nothing at the moment of life and death. He and Thomas didn't have any hatred, and they were friends when they were young, but they each struggled towards their own goals. The overall conflict between the temple and the Engraver's Guild made it to this day, but the fighting did not reach the point where it could not be broken.
At this time, Sam Anton really had no choice. If Thomas didn't help, he could only resign as the president of the Jerusalem Engravers Guild. Once he lost the protection of the president, although his life would be sad and his property would suffer some losses, but his life and family were still there. It would be better to live than to die.
But that's the last step.
Since there is a need for others, Shaman Andun sent a housekeeper to invite Thomas' master and apprentice. If they refused, he would invite him in person. No matter what he had to try, there was nothing he could do if it didn't work.
But to Sam's Anton's surprise, Thomas' master and apprentice agreed and did not make trouble. This made Sam's Anton feel a little relieved. The old friend has not forgotten the friendship back then. Alas, true love is seen in times of adversity.
Sam Anton Manor was brightly lit, and the president personally greeted the arrival of the high priest Thomas at the door.
"Long time no see, old friend."
"Hehe, the chief priest looks radiant, but I can't do it, I'm old."
"What do you mean, we are about the same age, but compared to young people like Arthur, they are really old." Thomas laughed.
"Haha, that's true, but you have such a disciple, what can you complain about, please come in, please come in." Sam Anton smiled wryly, who would have thought that this young man could drive him to a corner without a sound, he is really a formidable young man.
"Master President, hello."
"Don't dare, Priest Arthur, please come in." At this time, Sam Anton didn't dare to take a big deal. He was polite to save face, and he had to take advantage of it.
Arthur looked respectful, without any arrogance from the outside world.
At the banquet, no one said anything superfluous, they were all reminiscing about the youthful years back then, and the memories were too embarrassing. With everyone's deliberate maintenance, the meal went smoothly, the servants were full, and there were only three people left in the room.
