Chapter 517 Raphael’s Real Purpose
Having said this, Raphael actually turned his head towards 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 In the County of Hope, you can escape any eyes that want to spy on you and those claws that want to tear you into pieces - as long as you are willing to extend your hand of friendship."
< br>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 actually make such a fuss in front of him. Is he worthy of being 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, I want to Whatever you get, you have to give something. So tell me, Raphael, what do you want to get from me by offering such generous conditions to me? "
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 prevents the devil from occasionally showing some compassion and kindness? Hahahaha! Well, actually, that's true. Needless to say, the reason why I am close to you is really just because I simply admire you. However, if you are really willing to give a small reward to repay this, it will definitely be mutually beneficial to both you and me. A little help will definitely make the friendship between us go further."
"So... what do you want from me?"
Raphael. His 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 very strange-looking crown, but I have noticed that you already have a very good one. Helmet, so for you, that thing is just a useless floating ornament, but it is different for me.”
"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 also 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 in this calmness. It contains waves, because he has revealed his true purpose. That crown, the crown of Karsus, is the most fundamental reason why Raphael personally went out.
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 can I have in my hand? Will it attract him?
But this is wrong. The battle between me and the mastermind could be said to be very secretive. All the people with direct knowledge of the battle were wiped out by me in that battle, except for the three gods of death who knew the movement of the crown in the first place. No one outside the trio knew that the crown was in my hands now. How did Raphael know about it?
And this guy also deliberately downplayed the true role of the crown. Does he think that I don’t know the true power of the crown, so he wants to use lies to 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...
"Have you met Gotash, Raphael? You got this information from him, right?"
Nohir's words seemed to be asking, but his tone was incomparable. Determined, Raphael's expression turned completely gloomy in an instant. He withdrew his phantom palm and said to Nohir word by word.
“How did you guess it?”
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 and use? 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 made a miscalculation."
Raphael retracted his hand, but his expression instantly changed from gloomy to the one where everything was still under control expression.
As for how Nohir knew the true function of the crown, this really puzzled Raphael, but no matter how doubtful he was, the facts had already happened. Alas, it seems that he It was destined to be impossible to simply cheat the crown out, but fortunately, he still had 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 should I say?"
Nohir is somewhat interested. Asked, the guy in front of him finally took off his disgusting disguise and chose a more straightforward exchange of interests. This kind of straightforward conversation was obviously better than the previous deception where he clearly treated himself as a fool. To some extent, this also gave Nohill 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, and there will be no 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 take my hands. I want to exchange the crown for you.”
Raphael still maintained that cold smile.
“If you are really willing to trade the crown with me for this information, then I personally have absolutely no objection, but obviously you have proven that you are not that stupid. After all, if you are really If you are so easy to cheat, I can trade your soul with a bag of beans now.”
