Chapter 3021 The Origin of Demonic Scholars
The atmosphere gradually solidified, and the smile on my face gradually faded, but I still patiently discussed the deal with Giles.
"So, how many gold coins do you think it would take to exchange for this information?"
Giles looked at the gold coins in front of him that emitted an attractive light of yellow and orange. His old right hand kept twirling his gray beard, as if he was meditating and calculating.
After a while, he took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and his eyes met mine again, but this time when we met, he was stunned for a few seconds.
A few seconds later, he felt as if a basin of water had been poured on his head, and he suddenly woke up: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I was so absorbed just now that I ignored your existence."
What he said made people a little angry, but mostly made him speechless.
"So, Mr. Giles, how much do you think I can afford to buy the information I need?"
"Uh, let me slow down, Mr. An Xiaoyi. You said you need all the information about the magicians except the secrets. Is that true?"
I nodded: "It would be best if you can teach me everything you have. If not, you can tell me something interesting."
"Hey!" Giles suddenly reached out and pushed back all the small pile of gold coins in front of him.
"Mr. Giles, what are you doing?"
"Except for confidential information, it's not worth much at all. It's just more troublesome to collect it through outsiders." Mr. Giles reached out and took out a gold coin from the pile of gold coins, held it in his hand, and said: "Collection fee, saliva fee." , time fee, add one piece, one gold coin, it is enough."
After hearing his answer, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It turns out that it wasn't that he was greedy, but that he was immersed in the magic fluctuations emitted by the gold coins and couldn't extricate himself.
It seems that I wrongly blamed him.
Thinking of this, I took out another gold coin, pushed it to him, and said, "I misunderstood you just now. I'm really sorry. I don't have any gold coins. I can use this as an apology."
"Oh, I can't afford this. It's too expensive, too expensive."
Mr. Giles put the gold coins back into his pocket, quickly raised his palms, and kept refusing to apologize.
Just when we couldn't refuse, a black shadow suddenly jumped out and rushed towards my gold coins.
Although it was as fast as the wind, I still saw clearly the true nature of the cat that was coming. It was the black cat that failed to attack me, and instead I grabbed the back of fate's neck.
Humph, you actually got interested in seeing Cai, let’s see how I deal with you!
His mind was spinning, and at the moment when the black cat was about to pounce on the pile of gold coins, he stretched out his left hand, lifted it, and grabbed the back of the black cat's neck again.
The back of the neck is indeed the biggest weakness of cats. The moment I grabbed hold of it, the black cat immediately became obedient. It was lifted up on all fours and slipped into the air, staring hard with its big, resentful eyes. Me, the meaning couldn't be more obvious: let me go, I will fight you for three hundred rounds!
Just as I was handing the apology gold coin to Mr. Giles and carrying the black cat, Kim Bailey ran over from the kitchen on her calves.
Just halfway through running, she suddenly stopped. Her big eyes suddenly opened wider and rounder, staring at the small pile of gold coins in front of me.
At this moment, her mind had already been firmly attracted by the damn attractive light of the gold coin. She didn't even lick the lollipop in her hand. She just stood there blankly, staring at the gold coin.
A few seconds later, she screamed, rushed over, and yelled: "Gold coins! Gold coins! Mine! They're all mine!"
Seeing her rushing like a tiger, I was startled. I raised my hand and threw the black cat out. Then I hugged her, holding all the gold coins in my hand, and put the gold coins back into the bag very quickly. Then he put the bag into his arms.
Uh-huh, done!
When Jin Baili saw this, she went crazy. The moment she landed, she pounced on me and started tearing my coat.
"Hey, hey! Stop! If you don't stop, I'll scream indecent assault!"
While protecting the collar, I tried to firmly control her small hands with one hand.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, a bright light suddenly lit up in my mind. I instantly thought of the gold coin in my right hand that Giles kept rejecting, and it immediately came to my mind.
"Hey, look, what is this?"
I deliberately raised my voice and handed the gold coin across the table.
Jin Baili subconsciously turned her head, and then her eyes were successfully diverted again, firmly fixed on the gold coins.
"Yeah! Gold coins! Mine! Mine!"
Jin Baili shouted and rushed forward again.
This time, I didn't stop her, but just let go, allowing Jin Baili to succeed.
Jin Baili was immediately happy after getting the gold coin: "Hey, hey, gold coin, my gold coin, so bright, so shiny, so beautiful, and it even has magic fluctuations! I'm getting rich! I'm getting rich!!!"
Jin Baili's gaffe made Giles on the side quite embarrassed. He scratched his head and said: "This child is a bit obsessed with money. Please don't take it off. When she has had enough fun, I will return the gold coins to you." .”
When Jin Baili heard that she wanted to return the gold coins, her eyes widened immediately, she stared at Giles and me warily, and moved back bit by bit.
"No, no need." I was amused by Jin Baili's behavior. I waved my hand and said, "The gold coins are my apology. If I don't accept them, I will always feel uneasy with my conscience."
After saying that, I raised my head, looked at Jin Baili, and continued to smile: "But it makes Miss Jin Baili feel loved. It seems that this apology is still very valuable."
Looking at Jin Baili who was extremely rare for rare gold coins, Giles was also helpless.
Fortunately, he did not break his promise. After three rounds of tea, he began to tell me about the magic scholar.
Magic scholar, as the name suggests, is an academic profession.
Strictly speaking, magic scholars are scientists in the demon world. They adhere to a bold style and constantly try to combine the power of magic and science.
And this bold innovation has continued for countless billions of years.
Yes, demon scholar, like elementalist, is one of the oldest adventurer professions in the demon world.
Its ancientness is second only to the birth of the apostles.
According to Giles, the first group of magicians were the disciples of the first apostle who discovered and used magic. After they learned how to use magic, they felt that this monotonous method of using magic was boring, so they turned away from their masters. Developed alone, started scientific research, and tried to combine scientific research with the power of magic.
Of course, the apostle will not allow this. After all, the disciples he has taught must be used by him. If he dares to betray them, the apostle will lose face!
So the apostle issued an order to search for clues about these disciples. If they can be found, they will be rewarded heavily.
However, when they found these missing disciples, hundreds of years had passed, and these disciples had already embarked on a path that combined magic and scientific research.
Moreover, the road was very wide and long. According to Giles, these disciples easily repelled the pursuers who captured them.
