Chapter 56 56. New Promise
A vortex colder than the cold current from the snow-capped mountains surges in Breeze City.
The good news is that Annan is not Levi's, the bad news is that the killer thinks he is.
However, after accidentally summoning the blue dragon, the murderer should be able to investigate Annan with a little calmness, instead of crushing an insignificant ant.
Annan should go back before departure. Go up the wooden ladder in the corner of the warehouse, push open the trap door, and catch the reptile lying in the gap.
The attic remained as quiet as when he left not long ago, but Annan considered tying hair in the gap of the trap door before going out for a while - I don't know if this trick would be useful in the magical world.
The smell of moldy wood in the rainy season filled the attic. Annan first opened a glass bottle to feed the spiders, and then leaned forward to open the window.
If he knows other spells, he only needs the hand of the mage to easily open the window.
The reptile thrown into the glass bottle by Annan had no place to settle on the narrow and smooth glass, and fell into the spider web at the bottom, sinking deeper and deeper as it struggled.
The predatory process that Annan usually observed with great interest now made him frown - he could not help but think of himself who was also in a dangerous situation, and then projected his emotions into it, and then gave birth to the weak versus the manipulator. of weakness.
And the irritability of being caught in an invisible whirlpool.
The little spider that has been kept in a glass bottle for more than a month crawls towards its prey. It has become accustomed to a prey falling from the sky and stuck in the net every few days.
But today, the microscopic world of the little spider crawling toward food suddenly turned upside down.
The wooden stick scooped out the panicked little spider and its prey.
“You are free.”
The spider huddled on the edge of the damaged web in a daze for a while, and then fled into the shadows with the vibration.
Suppressing the emerging negative emotions, Annan exhaled and carefully helped the struggling reptile to remove the spider silk stuck to the shell, then returned it to the trap door and watched it get into the gap between the wooden boards.
As if the reptile had pinned his hopes on him, Annan regained his optimism and drove a carriage unfamiliarly in the afternoon before dusk came, leaving Breeze City.
He did not dare to stay too far away, even if Michael guaranteed that no one in Breeze City would dare to offend the Mage Tower.
Parking in an open space in the countryside far away from the road, Annan, who had accumulated enough magic power, once again released a low-level summoning spell, and prayed that it would not succeed this time.
The space is torn apart, like an irregular window, with beautiful indigo scales appearing at the other end.
The familiar dragon pressure seeped out from the other side of the crack.
"The duration of the summoning spell is limited, I will make a long story short."
Annan, who confirmed that the blue dragon was on the opposite side, continued: "This is a misunderstanding. The enemy who attacked me not long ago was not targeting you and Your treasure house came to me... I'm sorry to involve you, but this is just a test, and I'm not sure if they will continue to attack me, so I need your help in return. "Breeze City Employment Pricing Manual" hires you at a 200% premium. "
The scales on the other side of the rift changed, and the dark yellow vertical pupils almost filled the rift, staring at the humans who dared to deceive the dragon clan, with sharp eyes. The horns crackled with thunder, and a rough whisper sounded coldly:
"How much?"
Annan said sincerely: "The hiring price of a normal master professional in Breeze City is about 3 gold coins per day, and I can pay 6 gold coins per day."
"Summoning the dragon can Not at this price, human being." The blue dragon did not fall into Annan's simple spider web. "You have to give me 100 gold coins every time."
"I don't have that many gold coins..."
"Then don't even think about it."
The blue dragon is greedy, but it is not stupid. A few gold coins are not worth letting a dragon take action.
"But if they catch me, they may know the location of the treasure house beyond the contract." If this kind of coercion makes the blue dragon angry, the next words are like pulling off its scales, "And they kill me, those The gold coins that should belong to you every month will also go away from you.”
Annan emphasized on “should belong to you” and “gold coins” and “go away”.
This kind of thing is indescribably terrifying to a dragon.
"Your price is humiliating a great dragon..." The blue dragon's attitude was slightly relaxed, but he still insisted on the price.
"Great Lord Blue Dragon, why don't we change the method and pay the attacker according to his rank?" Annan made a more reasonable proposal: "If you are just an ordinary professional, every time you kill me Just pay 1 gold coin, if you are an elite professional, 10 gold coins per person."
"You will give 100 gold coins for the master level?"
"If I am still alive at that time."
The strength of blue dragons in their youth is close to that of master spellcasters. Coupled with the dragon's physique and dragon language magic, it should be able to easily suppress the caster. However, the essence of the low-level summoning spell is only a first-level spell. It cannot really summon the blue dragon, but only opens a summoning rift connecting the blue dragon and Annan.
Previous battles have proven that the crack can only support the blue dragon to extend its front claws.
I can’t describe whether this is a teleportation or a summons. I can only say...this is a warlock.
The blue dragon was still silent, and Annan continued to use gold coins to confuse: "It may sound like a small amount, but attackers never act alone... If there are more than ten elite professionals at a time... you can do it at once Obtained 100 golden and heavy gold nards."
The vertical pupils on the opposite side of the rift gradually spread.
"Human, why don't you let your protector take action?" The blue dragon suddenly said in a low voice at this time.
But Annan thought of an excuse on the way here: "The protectors left... so they put me in Breeze City."
"...The five professionals who just attacked you, five gold coins "
Blue Dragon's answer meant that he agreed to the agreement. Annan suppressed his excitement: "But they are just a bunch of gangsters..."
"Five gold coins"
Blue. Long repeated, his intimidating vertical pupils approached the crack and stared at Annan.
Annan now has a new understanding of the greed of the Dragon Clan, but he also has his own persistence: "I can deal with them even if they are summoned normally...I am willing to pay up to 50 silver coins for this."
"Yes. "
The crackling light blue dragon's breath spurted out from the nostrils, and the blue dragon urged Annan to pay quickly.
Annan touched the inner pocket of the mage's robe and looked at Blue Dragon carefully: "I didn't bring that much money..."
"How much is it?"
"10 silver coins and zero...3 copper coins."
"Give it to me first!"
"But I still want to keep some for use..."
After simple bargaining , Annan left 1 silver coin for himself.
“You still owe me...”
"40 silver and 97 copper coins." Annan calculated the remainder for Blue Dragon.
Then, before the summons ended, Annan stretched out his hand towards the other side of the rift - his arm went straight through the rift and emerged from the other side of the open space.
It seems that the summoning spell cannot be used as a teleportation.
The cracks gradually faded before our eyes. Annan thought, maybe this is the beginning of a friendship?
However, you need to be careful not to deceive the blue dragon. Sincerity is the most powerful weapon.
Annan was not qualified to fool a being who was stronger and smarter than himself.
