Chapter 855 The Price of Not Enough
"Sister Bertha, I heard that you found a job in the Imperial Capital? What are you doing?"
Bertha said: "I have joined the Demon Moon Government. , now serving as the police chief of the central city of Debiles."
"Wow, sister Bertha, are you an official?"
"Hehe, yes"
<. br>
Alice said: "But I remember that it is not easy for foreigners to serve in the Demon Moon Government." She looked at Da Funk and said: "Ahem, sister Bertha, did you find someone to help you secretly? As the Demon Moon Princess, this kind of thing is allowed."
Da Fink shook his head and sighed: "Oh, this is not easy, Bertha, our employer. The Lord seems to have a problem with you."
Bertha smiled and said: "What should I do?"
Da Fink said: "What else can I do? If you are flattering, maybe she can give you a promotion when she is happy.”
“Yes, my princess, how about Bertha giving you a squeeze?”
Alice giggled, and everyone laughed too.
Carter said: "Actually, the reason why Bertha was hired by the Demon Moon Government so smoothly was not only because of Da Funk's help, but also because of the giant prehistoric elephant."
"Ah. , is that elephant."
"Yes." Carter continued: "This prehistoric giant elephant is really extraordinary. Not only is it several times larger than the average prehistoric giant elephant, but its fighting power is amazing. During the Sheriff's assessment, Bertha was Only with such a magical beast as a guardian can we defeat other competitors."
"Oh." Alice knew that the prehistoric giant elephant was actually one of the five beasts that guarded the Shuiyun Stream. Prehistoric demon elephant, certainly powerful It is stronger than the ordinary prehistoric giant elephant. He couldn't help but sigh: "I really miss it. We were riding on its back together at that time. Sister Bertha, please summon it again and let me see it."
"That won't do," Bertha refused.
“Why?”
Bertha said: “Please, Your Royal Highness, this is the city center. If such a huge monster is summoned, aren’t you afraid of scaring people and destroying the municipal government? I am the public security officer. An officer is not an officer who disrupts public security.”
“Haha, that’s it.” Alice smiled and said, “Let me see it again if I have a chance.”
“ Hmm.”
...
On the other side, inside Curantin Academy. A teacher was leading Alchemy Hughington into the alchemy building of the academy.
"Please go this way, this is the place where alchemists in our academy specialize in research and alchemy." The teacher introduced as he walked.
"Oh, is this place also open to students?" Hullington asked.
The teacher said: "No, no, this place is not open to students, and ordinary teachers cannot come here. This place is only for specialized alchemists."
Hurlington sighed: "That's such a pity."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Nothing." Hurlington chuckled, but looked at Alchemy Outside the building, those student girls were stumbling.
After turning a few corners, the teacher said: "This is the alchemy room prepared by the academy for you. Please come and take a look."
"Yes."
Pushing the door and walking into the alchemy room, no matter how big the space is, all the facilities commonly used in alchemy are there. There is also a small door in the room. The teacher said: "That room is where props are stored. Test tubes, furnaces and so on are all in it."
Hughington looked around for a while, nodded and said: " What about the commonly used alchemy materials? "
The teacher said: "The materials are all in the material library. If you need anything, you can go there with the pass given to you by the academy. If there is nothing you need in the material library, you can ask the college and the college will pay to purchase all the materials you need. "
"That's a very thoughtful idea, I understand," the teacher said. : "If there are no problems, I will leave first. If you have any needs or questions, you can go to the management office downstairs for consultation."
"I will." Hullington put down the bag on his shoulder, walked around the alchemy room again, nodded and said: "It's really good, we can start working. Let's try out various instruments first. Next, it’s time to concentrate on repairing Alice’s black dragon scale armor...”
Debilis city center, Demon Moon Palace.
In the garden, Ponte Dilmogada, the former king of the Ponte Empire, was waiting patiently for Otillet Will Jeffreyk Bassent, also known as Ottillet Will Jeffreyk Bassent. His first official meeting with King Tilet XVII.
Not long after, King Otillet XVII came slowly: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"It doesn't matter, His Majesty the King must have a lot of government affairs to deal with. "Dilmagada said very humbly, and he could only lower his attitude when he wanted to ask for help from others.
There are stone benches and stone tables in the flower beds of the garden. Of course, there are fruit snacks on the stone tables that have been sent by the palace maids a long time ago.
After Otillet XVII sat down, he went straight to the topic: "I heard Alice tell you about you. You came here in the hope that our Demon Moon can help you restore your throne. Yes. "?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dilmogada said: "My country fell into the hands of others because of the planning of conspirators. If your Majesty can help me restore the dynasty, you and your Demon Moon Empire will receive the most devout surrender of the Ponte Empire." He said He left the stone bench, half-knelt on the ground, and performed the courtesy of a courtier.
Otillet XVII said: "The Ponte Empire is far away in the Eastern Continent, tens of thousands of miles away from the Demon Moon Empire. How can Demon Moon help you at such a long distance?"< br>
Dilmagada said: "Although the Demon Moon is far away from Ponte, with the status and influence of the Demon Moon Empire in the world, your attitude can be felt by all countries in the Eastern Continent. So. It’s important to have your support.”
The Seventeenth World said: "But if you want to be restored, you can't do it with Mo Yue's verbal support."
Dilmagada said: "Your support is only the first step, the specific plan I still need more help from you."
Seventeenth World. : "You want me to send troops to help you attack Ponte from afar, and then use the influence and appeal of the Demon Moon Empire to mobilize the Allies to give you greater support in public opinion."
"Yes." Dilmogada said: "Mo Yue sends troops to attack Ponte from a distance from the sea. This is absolutely impossible for the conspirators. Unexpectedly. And with the support of Mo Yue and other countries, the international space of the Eastern Continent will definitely oppress the conspirators. With support from so many aspects, I can succeed in restoring the throne. The status of the moon in the world will definitely increase again."
The Seventeenth World shook his head and said: "But I think this will have a counter-effect on Mo Yue's international status in the world. Mo Yue has always had little connection with the Eastern Continent, but suddenly sending troops to Ponte, instead It will cause a strong backlash from the countries in the Eastern Continent.”
Dilmagada said: "So Mo Yue is sending troops because I am borrowing troops from you as King Ponte, so that Mo Yue can have enough reputation to help me."
Seventeenth World said: "Even if this reason can be barely accepted by the countries in the Eastern Continent, if Mo Yue is to send troops for other countries, it is not just a matter of verbal surrender. And it is not easy to mobilize large-scale international public opinion to support you. What's more, our country is currently engaged in two wars, and we don't have the ability to conduct an expedition to Ponte."
Di. Ermogarda said: "I know that transactions or cooperation require corresponding bargaining chips and more practical benefits. Please rest assured, His Majesty the King, At one point, Ponte's reward to Mo Yue will never be low. As for Mo Yue, who is currently in the vortex of war, I have the patience to wait until Mo Yue's war is over."
"Oh? I’m curious as to what kind of sincerity you can show to impress me.”
Dilmagada said: “There are many in the Ponte Empire. The output of rare resources in the world, even the Tears of God, is not as high as that of Yanyang City, but there are at least two drops produced every year. I believe that the impact of these rare resources on any country is very considerable. If your Majesty can restore me, I will give you the mining rights of these resources without any hesitation.”
"Heh." The Seventeenth chuckled: "Although these resources are extremely valuable, they are not the most needed benefits for Mo Yue. If the Ponte Empire is adjacent to Saint Bikoya, I may be willing to help You restore the throne, but it is a pity that Ponte is in Dongda Lu cannot be a pawn for Demon Moon to contain Saint Bikoya geographically. Therefore, I cannot accept this price."
"That's enough." The Seventeenth World interrupted him and said: "You can give I already understand, and what I can promise you is to allow you to form a government-in-exile within the territory of Moyue. Apart from this, Moyue cannot help you in other aspects. Let’s end today’s meeting.”
“But Your Majesty the King Next..." Dilmagada stepped forward to chase him, but the Seventeenth Emperor ignored him and kept walking away along the gravel path in the garden. He only got off where Dilmagada stood alone. Among the flowers...
...
Curantin Academy, Alchemy Room.
Hughington opened the backpack he brought and took out the black dragon scale armor Corpse Resentment inside. Seeing the cracks on the Corpse Resentment, he shook his head and sighed: "It's so sharp. The sword, even the armor made of the black dragon's reverse scales can be so easily Cut it apart, those two guys are not ordinary people."
He charged up the magic power in his hand and carefully pressed it against the black dragon scale armor. The seal pattern formed by the secret language of corpse resentment was immediately guided by the magic power. And emerged: "Fortunately, the power of the secret language of rune stones is not It was damaged due to the damage to the scales. As long as the dragon scales can be repaired, the armor's capabilities can still be as good as before. But here's the difficulty..." He took the dragon scales suit and looked around: "It is not an easy task to repair damaged dragon scales, no But the magic immunity of dragon scales makes the repair method more difficult, and it is more extreme to find materials suitable for repairing dragon scales. Different dragon scales can accept different materials and methods..." As he spoke, he pondered.
After a while, he threw down his clothes and muttered: "Alas~! Sure enough, too much knowledge is also a burden. After reading so many books, I actually forgot about the materials needed to repair the black dragon scales. What is it? Well, let's check the book." After that, he turned and left the alchemy room.
