Chapter 96: Working for Gems

"This, this, this..." Jin Coin excitedly pointed at the colorful magic crystals wrapped in the magic circle and said, "How to sell these?"

A mummy wrapped up like a rice dumpling and wearing gold jewelry came over. After hearing the words about the gold coins, the guy immediately said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Sorry, these are exhibits and not for sale."

"Not selling?" Rose's voice rose to an octave. "Why are you putting it here if you don't want to sell it?"

"This is to show customers that we have the ability to obtain these high-grade magic gems. However, because the price of these gems is very high and difficult to obtain, we only display them and do not sell them." Although the mummy's voice was unpleasant , but he spoke slowly and was still quite polite.

I guessed that these women were in a state of rage with their eyes full of colorful magic crystals. In order to prevent this polite mummy from misfortune, I took the initiative to take over the negotiation work. "May I ask what your position is here? Is the top person in charge here? I think goods always have a price, as long as the price is reasonable. Although these things are rare, I think since they are goods, your general person in charge There should be a psychological price. So, could you please introduce it to us? I think we can reach some consensus with him." As I spoke, I handed over a piece of black crystal calmly. This is not the scraps of black crystal powder that have been discarded. This is real high-purity black crystal, which is a very rare item. And this piece is so large that it is definitely the best.

The mummy glanced at the black crystal in his hand. Then he put one hand on his chest and saluted and said: "Please wait a moment, our general manager is receiving important guests, but I happen to have a good personal relationship with the general manager, so I think he will definitely make time today. Discussed with you in detail."

"Thank you very much."

Sure enough, it was easy to get money to do things. The mummy accepted such a big gift from me, and the efficiency of the work was naturally rising. Although he said it would be within today, the person in charge actually showed up in less than twenty minutes.

In fact, when I first saw this person in charge, I was shocked because this guy was actually a god. Unlike the high-level undead here, this guy has surging dark divine power. In other words, this is an evil god. And very powerful. Of course, we are not afraid of him. First of all, we are here to do business and be a shopkeeper. There is no reason for him to beat up the customers. This second time...even if he really gets angry suddenly. Our side has basically concentrated the highest combat power of the guild. Don't say this guy is just a powerful evil god. Even if it’s the main god of one of the protoss clans, it’s not like we haven’t raped him by force.

As a protoss, the opponent's sensing ability is also quite strong. Although we are all in non-combat mode now and our auras are hidden, it won't work if we are too close. When the other party got within a few meters of us, they immediately noticed the surging magic power fluctuations on our bodies. This situation made the other party pause for a moment, but they quickly reacted and accelerated over.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." The other party came over and bowed slightly to salute. It seemed to be very polite. This was because of our status as customers and also because of our strength.

"No, it's probably us who have disturbed them." Since others are polite, of course we should also be polite. I exchanged false pleasantries with the other party and immediately got to the point. "Sorry to disturb you when you meet the guests. The main reason is that we are interested in these colorful magic crystals, and it is said that these are not for sale. We really like these colorful magic crystals, and we also believe that the products have a price. , otherwise there is no point even if it won't get moldy here. That's why I take the liberty to ask you to see you, hoping to discuss the possibility of purchasing it. Of course, we can give an appropriate price, or, if you If you feel that currency is no longer enough to measure the price of these colorful magic crystals, then we can consider bartering or other methods of payment, what do you think?"

After I finished speaking, the other party looked at us, and then at the colorful magic crystals over there. After pondering for a few seconds, he said: "As you said, the product must be sold after all. It won't produce any benefits here, but these... you say they are colorful magic crystals. This is slightly different from the name we have here, but you are guests, so you can call these things whatever you want for the time being. Seven-color magic crystals. You want seven-color magic crystals, and I can’t sell them. However, the purchase price of these seven-color magic crystals is definitely not that cheap. I hope you can be mentally prepared for this."

"What's the specific price?" Rose asked.

The evil god paused for a moment before speaking: "I need you to pay two things to complete this transaction."

"what?"

"First I need you to pay 10 million kilograms of high-energy crystals."

After the other party finished speaking, Christina and Zhenhong immediately put their heads over to know what the price specifically represented. Rose reacted the fastest and whispered directly: "High-energy crystal is magic crystal. If it is 10 million kilograms, the price of white magic crystal will already exceed 100 million crystal coins. However, this price is not high, it can even be said to be Some are cheaper. The price of colorful magic crystals is much more than that."

"But the other party has more than one requirement. The reason why the price is cheap may be due to the second requirement." Christina said.

We all knew that what Christina said made sense, but it would be too hasty to refuse without listening, so I could only ask loudly: "What is the other request?"

The other party pointed at us. "You guys, help me get something. When you get it back, pay it to me together with the money. These fifteen colorful magic crystals will be yours."

"What kind of thing is it specifically? Do you know its location? Are there any obstacles on the way?" I'm not stupid. I just want to pick up something. Who knows what it is. If you ask me to go up the mountain to pick a weed, it can be said to be picking up something. To pick up the core of divine power from a certain divine force can also be said to be picking up something. Can these two be the same? So I couldn't agree without asking clearly.

The other party has no intention of hiding anything, because even hiding it is meaningless. When the time comes when we discover the problem, we will abandon the mission, which will not do him any good.

"This thing is very special. It is a magic item. It should be of little use to you, but it means a lot to me. However, the problem is not with this thing, but that the location of this thing is a bit bad. To get to that place There are many dangerous creatures to face. Even for me, it is quite dangerous to get it. So, I can only ask you for help. If you can bring that thing back and give me 10 million kilograms of high-energy crystals, I I promise to give you these fifteen colorful magic crystals."

"I've seen black people. I've never seen people as black as you." Rose said: "Even a high-level evil god can't guarantee the safety of getting something. The creature guarding it must be powerful to the level of abnormality. To deal with this kind of thing, the body is beyond its capabilities. The total price of fifteen pieces of colorful magic crystals. You actually want us to pay an extra ten million kilograms of high-energy crystals. This is simply extortion."

I also said with a serious expression: "I don't think you seem to have any sincerity? The other party can make you feel too dangerous and dare not take action directly, which means that it is no weaker than you. After we deal with something of that level, we still have to give Your money. If that really happens, we might as well just rob you. Anyway, we are just killing someone of your level, so the risk is the same for us."

Hearing our words, the evil god smiled and said: "This is just my initial price. If you think it is too high, can we discuss it again?"

"Discuss? How to discuss?"

"You must help me get that thing. As for the other 10 million kilograms of high-energy crystals, it can be reduced by half, only 5 million kilograms."

After hearing this evil god's words, my anger was completely heightened. "It seems like you don't want to do sound work with us anymore. This kind of price is completely cheating us. So, in that case, I think we need to find another way."

This time I turned around and left immediately after I finished speaking. Although Christina and the others really wanted the fifteen colorful magic crystals, when they saw me leaving, they immediately turned around and followed me. And the one over there The evil god was also a little anxious when he saw that we were really leaving. The guy suddenly ran up to me and grabbed me and said, "Don't go! I'm just kidding, are you okay? In this way, I won't cheat you, and tell you a real price. You must complete the things, and give me the magic crystal." A million kilograms would be nice.”

This time we didn't even pause and walked straight out. When the other party saw this posture, he knew that we were really angry and immediately became anxious. The guy rushed up directly, grabbed my wrist and said, "Okay, okay, no more joking. I don't need you to give me the magic crystal, just help me get that thing back."

What I said this time was somewhat reliable, so I stopped directly and said: "Your sincerity worries me, so I will only say it for the last time. If you play tricks on us again, there will be no need to cooperate. First of all , we need to know what specific obstacles we will encounter along the way. If it is an obstacle caused by terrain or some natural phenomenon, we need to tell us where the danger exists. If it is a creature, we need detailed information about these creatures. And, we need to know you You want us to get what exactly it is so that we can make an assessment. To be blunt, I'm really worried that the thing you asked us to get is several times more valuable than these fifteen colorful magic crystals plus one. In that case, we will really suffer a big loss.”

The other party hesitated after hearing what I said, but finally told the truth. This is not because the other party is stupid, nor is it because of his excellent business ethics. In fact, he has no choice.

The value of that thing is just as I guessed. It is many times more valuable than these fifteen colorful magic crystals plus one. This is why the other party didn't want to tell us what it was before, because as long as we know the value of that thing , no normal person would agree to the previous transaction conditions. After all, if you just want to buy a diamond ring, but someone asks you to complete the mining of a diamond mine, and then use all the diamonds mined in it to exchange for the diamond ring. In this case, only fools would complete such a transaction, right? Therefore, the other party actually doesn’t want us to know the specific thing we are going to get.

but. The guy finally said it, not because of his moral character, but because he really had no choice.

Although he knew that the thing was there, in fact, if he took it with his strength, he would definitely have a narrow escape. He didn't want to risk his life, especially when the odds of winning were less than one in ten. So, if we don't go, he can basically say goodbye to that thing. No one in this city of the undead can successfully get that thing. After all, he is one of the top people here, and it is impossible for these people to form a joint team to get that thing. So if you missed us. He basically can't get that thing.

In this case, what he told us would be that at most we would raise the price and his income would be reduced. But if you don't tell us. Then there will be no profit at all. Compare the two. Obviously it is always more cost-effective to earn less than to earn nothing at all.

"Well, based on what you told us, we need to get the thing you mentioned. Even with our strength, the process is still very dangerous. The probability of completing the task is no more than 50%, and the value of this item exceeds Those colorful magic crystals are seven to eight times more expensive, so the previous price is obviously inappropriate." I said, looking at the evil god and asking, "What do you think?"

The other party knew that this must be the case after telling us the details, but seeing that he told the truth, it meant that he had weighed the pros and cons, so he didn't feel bad about anything and said directly: "As long as you help me get that thing back, then Fifteen colorful magic crystals will be given to you for free, and I will give you 100,000 kilograms of high-energy crystals. In addition, as long as there are items for sale in my mall, you can each choose two of them. Also, After you come back, I can give each of you a blessing. This is the blessing of the evil god. You know how much it is worth. Finally, I will not let you take risks on your own. I will send two subordinates to go with you. They are me. The most powerful subordinates not only have very high combat effectiveness, but also know how to obtain that item, so they can not only increase your combat effectiveness, but also serve as guides for you to reduce the difficulty of completing your mission. How about it? The price I offered is: Are you sincere?"

I nodded and said: "This is a bit like doing business. Okay, now we will sign an agreement to ensure that everyone's commitment is valid." As I said this, I took out a scroll and started writing on it. out of our agreement. The other party didn't take it seriously at first, because ordinary agreements didn't have much binding force on an evil god of his level, so he wasn't worried about this agreement at all. However, when I finished writing the agreement and handed it to him, the guy immediately realized that he had overestimated us, because there was actually a mark with the power of law shining in the impartial column behind the agreement, and this mark It represents Mother Earth.

Even evil gods dare not violate the guarantee agreement of the upper god, because all existences below the upper god are like scum to the upper god, and anyone who wants to destroy them can be killed with just one sneeze. Under this overwhelming strength gap, no one dares to resist the will of a higher god, unless you never come into contact with the laws represented by that higher god. Unfortunately, Mother Earth represents the law of the earth. Unless you stay away from land in your life, don't expect to escape. It is obviously impossible not to be close to the land, because even the sea is actually carried by the earth. After all, the seabed is also part of the earth.

Although I was surprised that I could actually use the agreement of the upper god, this person had obviously figured it out and had no intention of breaking the contract, so he signed his name after reading the content of the agreement I wrote.

As the agreement came into effect, the two parties officially entered a state of cooperation, and the other party quickly sent us the two experts to assist us.

The most powerful men of this evil god are creatures we are very familiar with. One of them is over 1.9 meters tall. He is covered in thick black plate armor that looks like a tin can. Those who don’t know better think he is a robot. . Of course, this guy has nothing to do with machines or anything like that, because as long as you tap his armor a little, you can hear a very clear echo, and this sound means that the armor is empty.

Yes, this guy is a ghost knight, and a third-level ghost knight, a very perverted and perverted profession. Their bodies in the proper sense do not actually exist. The outer armor is their only existence in the material world. Not only does this armor have amazing defensive power, it also has its own repair function. Even if it is cut into pieces, it can be restored within a certain period of time. As for the source of driving force inside the armor, it relies entirely on black magic. To put it simply, the Ghost Knight is a pair of heavy plate armor driven by a ghost using black magic, but in fact there is nothing inside.

For such a being, attacking him with ordinary weapons will obviously not be effective, because there is nothing inside the armor. This grill is actually just like the puppets in the puppet show, inanimate objects that are manipulated by people. If you can't find the actor holding the puppet strings. Of course attacking the puppet body will have no effect. Especially since this puppet can be infinitely repaired.

In fact, the spirit part of the Ghost Rider is hidden inside the armor, but it does not occupy the entire armor, and its specific location is not fixed. The ghost part of the ghost knight can shrink into a little bit of soul fire as big as a fist inside the armor, and this soul fire can fly around inside the huge humanoid armor. therefore. Unless you can see the exact location of the soul fire inside through this armor. And it has enough reaction and control power to accurately hit the location of the soul fire. At the same time, it must have enough attack power to penetrate the armor, and finally it must have magic damage power that can directly damage the spirit body. Otherwise, the lack of any one factor would not be able to cause the slightest harm to the Ghost Rider.

In fact, even mages will have a headache when they see ghost knights. Although ghost knights are theoretically immune to physical damage and can only be harmed by spells, they are wrapped in armor after all. Therefore, spell attacks must penetrate the armor. Take effect. However, due to the characteristics of the Soul Fire Body, high temperature, freezing and concussive damage are ineffective against Ghost Rider. In addition, the ghost knights themselves are also highly intelligent beings. They know their own weaknesses. Therefore, after becoming ghost knights, they will try their best to find high-level armors as their carriers. Therefore, all ghost knights' armors are high-end goods. This is This makes it extremely difficult to break through their magic protection, which makes the Ghost Knight super durable. Not only does its defense power be amazing, but what's more terrible is that many attacks are ineffective against it, and the limited number of effective attacks are difficult to fight against. Control, anyway, is very difficult to play.

The ghost knight in front of him looks quite cool. He is dressed in black and has a huge sword slung on his back. This guy is a humanoid tyrannosaurus, and there is a sense of oppression just standing there.

In addition to this ghost knight, the evil god also introduced us to another of his men. This guy and the previous guy who was wrapped like a can just happened to be upside down. There was not a trace of flesh visible on that ghost knight's body. Of course, he doesn't have sex with him either. As for the other one, there was almost no cover at all.

This is a bone demon. If you don’t know anything about this creature, just think of the bone demon in "Journey to the West". Bone demons are the evolved version of bone demons. They are all female in appearance, and each one is prettier than the last. Basically, among the large branches of the dark camp, except for succubi, their overall image is the most beautiful. However, although the Bone Demons all look very beautiful, they just look pretty. If you are lucky enough to have close contact with their bodies, you will find that their pink and smooth skin, which looks like peeled boiled eggs, is actually very deceptive. Although the skin is indeed very smooth, they have no elasticity at all. In fact, the hardness of this skin is comparable to that of magic weapons, and this is one of the most difficult points for the Bone Demon. Imagine what it would be like if a group of beauties with similar hardness to your weapons were slashing at you in front of you?

Because their bodies are tough enough, Bone Demons rarely use weapons. Their weapons are their own bodies. As long as they press their fingers together, they can use their wrists as swords. They can block swords with their bare hands without any pressure, and even heavy weapons will do little damage to them. As for magic... you have to hit them first.

As long as they are bone demons, they are all highly mobile warriors without exception. They are so fast that you have no way to aim. They appear suddenly from the direction you are least prepared for every time. They can hit and run away. Their fatal move is theirs. Usual means.

The bone demon in front of me is not only a beautiful woman, but what is extremely exaggerated is that she is actually a diamond-level bone demon, which is already the top existence among bone demons. If it weren't for the lack of magic strike ability, a bone demon of this level would not suffer any big losses in a duel with the gods.

"I have to say that your men are really good."

"No, no, no. This is my subordinate. As for this..." The evil god looked at the bone demon beauty and said, "She should be regarded as a temporary mercenary hired by me. Just like you, she wants my products. I let her work to pay the bills.”

After the evil god finished speaking, we briefly communicated with the two guides. The ghost knight has a cold personality, and he feels like a dull gourd, the type who can't beat him with three sticks. After talking to him for a long time, we found out that his name was ‘Aiorigs’. Apart from that, we basically only learned about some of his simple offensive and defensive attributes and fighting methods.

Another bone demon beauty looks like a mature lady in her early thirties, and her personality is relatively cold, giving people a cold feeling, unsmiling, and a standard iceberg beauty. and. This person's height actually reached 1.85 meters. Because women's bodies are relatively slender, as long as they don't stand together, they look even taller than the 19-meter-tall Iorigus. Of course, although his personality is a bit cold. But at least this one is not an autistic person like Iorigos. Normal communication is no problem. As long as you're not chatting and spanking her. When it comes to business, she will explain it to you in detail, and will actively cooperate with you to discuss some combat matters. In short, he is the type who has a cold personality but is very serious.

certainly. During the communication process, we also learned the name of this beautiful bone demon. The name of this Bingshan Royal Sister is actually Bing Xin, which is the same as the pen name of a famous writer, but I have to say that this name really matches her temperament.

Speaking of which, despite her cold personality, Bing Xin is still very alluring. After all, she has a very good image, and because of her special body, her dress is also very personalized. Because the entire body of the Bone Demon is made up of demonized bones, with no real skin or muscles, they don't actually need armor. It is for this reason that Bing Xin only wears a short set of tight leather armor. In fact, the reason why I call it leather armor is because it is made of leather. In fact, I think it would be more appropriate to call it a leather bikini. It consists of only two parts. One is a pair of ultra-short hot pants with a total length of only ten centimeters from the waistband to the bottom of the trouser legs. It can be said that the upper part just barely reaches the waistline, and the lower part reaches the thigh. , anyway, no matter how short it is, it will turn into briefs.

The upper body parts are also the same, basically a half-cup breast support, plus a waistcoat-shaped waistline extending downward about ten centimeters. Of course, this thing didn't actually reach the waist. At most, it covered the lower edge of the ribs, and the entire base of the abdomen was exposed.

The main reason why they are dressed like this is that the fighting method of the Bone Demon requires large-scale movement of the body. Although the body of the Bone Demon is surprisingly hard, it is the same as the golem. It is hard when others cut it, but it is soft when they move. Same as noodles. Therefore, in order to be able to perform certain difficult movements, the clothing of these bone demons is usually as short as possible, so as not to cause too much restraint and affect the body's range of motion.

In addition, because bone demons have no internal organs, muscles, or skin, they are very adaptable to temperature. Their normal temperature adaptation range is between -200 degrees below zero and 850 degrees above zero, and in most cases they do not need to face temperatures outside this range. Therefore, they do not need clothing to provide protection, warmth and insulation, so they naturally do not like clothing that covers a large area.

In fact, some players once said on the forum that bone demons don't like to wear long clothes, and they may also be interested in beauty. After all, we are women, and it is normal to love beauty. Moreover, the layer on the surface of the bone demon is actually bones instead of skin, so there are no wrinkles or small pimples on it, and the whiteness is moderate, which will not make you feel pale, but it is indeed very, very white. In short, women The ultimate skin you dream of is nothing more than that.

With such good skin, of course normal people would not cover it up, so the legend that the bone demon likes to wear short armor has been spread because of its beauty. As for whether it is true... no one has asked anyway.

I briefly discussed the route issue with Bing Xin and Aiorigs. Of course, basically we kept asking, and Bingxin kept giving us answers. Aiorigs’ human-shaped iron lump seemed like he couldn’t speak. , can only be used as a sculpture.

After understanding the mission overview, we didn't waste any time. After all, we were in a hurry to get out, so we started taking action as soon as we met. Bing Xinshen was also hired, so she naturally didn't want to waste any more time. Not to mention Aiorigs, this guy is the subordinate of the evil god, so he naturally hopes that we can complete this task quickly.

The starting point of the mission is just outside the city, on the shore of the Skeleton Lake. There is an entrance here, and you can enter a long passage from here. However, it only took us ten minutes to complete this passage. The reason is that this is actually a water slide, and it is a water slide. After we got down from the entrance, we started to accelerate all the way down, and we were at least several kilometers away in ten minutes.

After completing this slide, what we saw was not a monster cave, but a quite beautiful crystal cave. The four walls of this cave are full of colorful crystals. Unfortunately, these are ordinary crystals, which contain no magic power and have no use. They have no meaning except for being used as decorations.

This crystal cave is quite large, and there are some strange luminous objects mixed in, so the light in the cave is quite beautiful. However, this cave is big but not long, so we passed by quickly. However, after we passed through the cave, Aiorigs, who had been silent for a long time, took the initiative to speak for the first time.

"Be careful. Skeleton demons live here."

The names of the Skeleton Demon and the Bone Demon are very similar, but they are not closely related. Although both are formed from bones, the Bone Demon is actually similar to a monster, while the Skeleton Demon is close to a mutant skeleton soldier.

As long as she doesn't tell a bone demon like Bing Xin and doesn't have direct contact, it's basically difficult to distinguish her from normal people. But the Skeleton Demon is different. These guys are basically mutant skeleton soldiers. The difference between them and ordinary skeleton soldiers is that they will grow all kinds of strange structures. For example, a very common skeleton demon is a skeleton demon with wings on its back. These guys have wing bones on their backs, but no muscles or skin tissue. However, they can fly with their wings. After all, this is a magical world.

Generally speaking, skeleton demons are not scary, because they are low-level undead creatures, and their intelligence is very low, roughly equivalent to the level of beasts. Basically, they can be regarded as not having very high intelligence. However, there are two characteristics that these guys hate very much, one is group regeneration, and the other is living in groups.

The ability of combined regeneration is very good, because this ability enriches their ability to combine bones at will. This is why the Skeleton Demon is a mutated skeleton soldier, because they can combine their bodies randomly and often come up with many weird shapes. Come. But this is not the point. The point is that after you smash a group of skeleton demons in battle, their remaining bones will often reorganize into new skeleton demons. Although some bones were damaged in the battle after the combination, so the number after combination must be getting smaller and smaller, but after all, this can be regarded as a disguised rebirth. Therefore, the skeleton demon army is often difficult to completely eliminate. After all, you need to kill them many times to completely eliminate the skeleton demon.

As for the second attribute of living in groups...this attribute is also terrible. A single Skeleton Demon has a low level and average combat power, so most players can easily defeat it. Even if ten Skeleton Demons act together, it is not a terrible combination. The average player can fight against a Skeleton Demon alone without putting his or her life in danger.

However, although the Skeleton Demons are weak, their numbers are often quite scary. The appearance of hundreds or even thousands is considered rare to you. The appearance of tens of thousands is considered normal, and the appearance of tens or millions is not surprising. In this case, most players were exhausted to death due to lack of strength.

The reason why Aiorigs warned us to be careful is not that he thinks that the Skeleton Demon is difficult to deal with, but because when he came here with his boss, the evil god, he would lose more than half every time he came here. Little minions, and this time Aiorigs woke up out of habit. In fact, after waking up, he realized that needless to say, since there were no ordinary people this time, only powerful personnel came, so there was no need to worry about the existence of the Skeleton Demon's level. (To be continued...)
