Chapter 517 Raphael's Real Purpose

Having said this, Raphael actually turned to Nohir and stretched out his right hand.

"And I, I am the friend who is willing to lend a helping hand to you in times of crisis. Maybe with my strength, I cannot directly help you deal with Zarrell's anger, but in my County of Hope, you But you can escape any eyes that want to spy on you, and escape those claws that want to tear you into pieces - as long as you are willing to extend your hand of friendship."

Nohir looked at Raphael's extended phantom right hand, and his expression suddenly became extremely weird, because he really didn't expect that this guy could go so far in front of him, and he deserved it. Is he a devil who makes a living by talking? He can even tell such nonsense without any burden.

"...It sounds really generous, but how did I hear that there is a motto among devils? How do you say that sentence? Oh, by the way, I remember the meaning of that sentence, if you want to get something, you must What do you want to pay? Then tell me, Raphael, what do you want to get from me when you offer me such generous conditions?”

Raphael smiled. He did not stretch his hand back, but kept this posture and continued.

"What you said really breaks my heart. Is there any law in this world that prohibits the devil from showing some compassion and kindness occasionally? Hahahaha! Well, actually there is no need to say that, but I The reason why I am close to you is really just because I simply admire you, but if you are really willing to give a small reward in return for this small help that is absolutely mutually beneficial to both you and me, then that's it. It will definitely make the friendship between us last longer.”

"So...what do you want from me?"

Raphael's eyes suddenly flashed. He didn't expect that the topic would suddenly shift to this direction, but after a moment of thinking, he decided to reveal part of the information consciously.

"Oh - nothing, just a trophy you captured in previous battles. It is a crown with a very strange shape. However, I have noticed that you already have a very good helmet, so for you In other words, that thing is just a useless floating ornament, but to me it’s different.”

"That thing has extraordinary value. If you are willing to accept my help, the only reward I need is those few suspended iron pieces. And you, my friend, if you are willing to satisfy my small If you meet your request, you will become the most distinguished guest of Hope County, and my door will always be open to you.

Raphael's words were still calm and steady, but there were waves in this calmness, because he had revealed his true purpose. That crown, the crown of Karsus, was the reason why Raphael personally went out. , the most fundamental reason.

When Nohir heard this, he immediately understood Raphael's purpose. The crown of Karsus, yes, I should have thought of it. Apart from this, what else could I have in my hand that would attract him?

But this is wrong. The battle between me and the mastermind was very secretive. All the people with direct knowledge were wiped out by me in that battle. Except for the trio of Death Gods who originally knew the movement of the crown, there was no one else at all. No one knows that the crown is in my hands now. How did Raphael know about this?

Moreover, this guy also deliberately downplayed the true role of the crown. Did he think that I didn’t know the true power of the crown, so he wanted to use lies to directly deceive the thing back? But how could he be so sure that I didn't know the true value of the crown? Who told him this news? Could it be...

"You have met Gotash, Rafael. You got this information from him."

Nohir's words seemed to be asking, but his tone was extremely determined. Raphael's expression turned completely gloomy in an instant. He withdrew his phantom palm and spoke to Nohir word by word. said.

"How did you guess that?"

Nohir smiled.

"Because I know the true value of that thing, and I also know that besides me, who else in this world knows that this thing is in my hands now. As long as I know these two points, I will understand it after a little thought. , man.”

Raphael sighed slightly in his heart. Indeed, as long as he knew these two points, plus my idiotic conversation before, this guy could understand where my information came from with just a little thought. .

But Raphael really didn't expect that this guy actually knew the true function of the crown. It was really strange. Isn't he a barbarian? How could the barbarians understand this kind of artifact that only the spellcasting profession could slightly explore? Obviously he doesn't even have spell slots, and he hasn't collected all the Neisser gems. Logically speaking, it's impossible for him to play even the slightest role of the crown, right?

"Ha, it seems I really miscalculated."

Raphael retracted his hand, but his expression instantly changed from gloomy to the one where everything was still under control.

Raphael was really puzzled as to where Nohir knew the true function of the crown, but no matter how confused he was, the facts had already happened. Alas, it seemed that he was destined to be impossible to be simple. I cheated the crown out, but fortunately I still have a chance.

"Well, you cunning guy, now I have to admit that it is probably impossible to achieve a pure friendship between us, but since the situation has developed to this, we might as well go straight, Nohir, until now , I still feel that we can still reach a mutually beneficial deal on some level.”

"Oh, what do you say?"

Nohill asked with some interest. The guy in front of him finally took off his disgusting disguise and chose a more straightforward exchange of interests. This straightforward conversation was obviously better than the previous one where he clearly regarded himself as It was infinitely better to deceive like a fool, which also gave Nohir the desire to talk more.

After confirming that he had contacted Gotash before, Nohill also understood that the guy in front of him definitely had some information that he was very interested in, such as...

"That damn Gotash, and that equally damned evil thought, I can tell you all the information about them without any charge. After all... this is one of my original purposes."

Raphael no longer pretended, but said this to Nohir directly, and Nohir also showed surprise at the same time.

"Oh? You don't charge any fees? So generous? You really surprised me. Raphael, I thought you would seize this information and use this information to directly exchange the crown in my hand. ”

Raphael still maintained that cold smile.

"If you are really willing to trade the crown with me for this information, then I have absolutely no objection to it, but obviously you have proven that you are not that stupid. After all, if you are really so easy to deceive, then I I can trade your soul for a bag of beans right now.”
