Gold is Justice

Quint chuckled, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was really ugly.

He nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "When I was young, I also had a magical affinity, and I also thought that I could walk on the path of a flame magician."

"But... When I was young, my family didn't have much money, so basically I didn't receive any formal training. Finally, when I was a little older, some people thought my magic power was very precious and wanted to teach me, but I really can't read, and I still haven't learned anything after all."

After knocking the pipe in his hand, he seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, and continued: "Then, as time went on, I also started to be busy with many livelihoods. I thought about supporting me This workshop business, and then married a wife and had children, and gradually, for a long time, I even almost forgot that I have such a thing as flame magic affinity."

"But when I finally got some free time one day and suddenly remembered that I still have such a specialty, I discovered that my so-called magic affinity has become so weak. Even now, I don't have any magic power. With the help of crystallization, I can't even ignite such a small flame myself."

Airl nodded lightly, and waited until the workshop owner finally shut up, as if remembering something, before he finally said: "So... Boss Quint, what exactly do you want to say? ?”

Quint was taken aback for a moment, as if he had woken up from his long-term memory.He shook his head slightly and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I was too busy talking about myself, but I forgot the most important thing."

He picked up the pipe in his hand and tapped on the stone guardrail next to him again, saying: "My magic affinity is already very weak. It can be said that I am not a magician at all now. But maybe I will start again now." Start learning, can I make some progress in the future? But unfortunately, I don’t have the energy anymore. Hehe, to put it bluntly, even if I let go of all my work now and send me to the old Tengshu Academy , Let me study fire magic wholeheartedly, I guess I don't have the patience anymore. At my age, it is always so difficult to convince myself to learn something more."

After taking a puff of cigarette and exhaling a cloud of gas, the workshop owner continued to say——

"However, although my magic affinity is useless to me, except for lighting a cigarette like this, it doesn't mean that it is useless to other people."

After pausing again for a moment, Quint Hearthstone said slowly——

"Not long ago, a high priest of the Holy See of Light came to me and said that he planned to spend a sum of money to buy this magical affinity from me."

After hearing such a sentence, Airl could hardly believe his ears!

He opened his mouth, and his brain couldn't even turn back for a while!After hesitating for about five seconds, he shook his head hastily, and at the same time plucked his ears, and said in a suspicious tone again: "Wait a minute! Boss Kunt, you just said...you just said ...Your flame magic affinity... can be sold? Besides, the person who bought it was the high priest of the Holy See of Light? They came to buy your flame magic affinity???"

However, there are more people on the balcony now, so although Airl was surprised, he still tried to lower his voice as much as possible.

But that doesn't mean how low his surprise was at all.

Quint obviously expected Airl's expression now. He nodded with a smile, took another puff of the cigarette in his hand, and said, "Yes, you heard me right. The Holy See wants to buy my magic affinity. And , They are willing to pay a thousand gold coins for me, who has no power of flame magic power. For President Arrow, you... the heir to the earl of the Garcia family, a thousand gold coins is probably nothing. But for a small workshop like mine, a thousand gold coins is equivalent to a huge sum of money. It can even revitalize my cash flow, which seemed to be somewhat ineffective at first."

Chapter 720 Six For Living

Airl didn't care at all whether the business of the workshop owner in front of him would fail, he was just extremely surprised by the fact he heard!At the moment, he directly reached out and grabbed Quint's wrist, and said nervously: "Are you sure? Magic affinity can still be sold? I've never heard of such a thing! It's not that magic affinity is a god. Is it given to us human beings? Is every person who gets the magic affinity is favored by the gods, is it a unique gift? And can those elemental spirits be resold like this? Elemental spirits are not real things... can this kind of thing be sold... or, can it be transferred? How do they transfer it?"

Facing Airl's surprise, Quint continued to smile.He took a puff of cigarette in his spare time, and said: "I was quite surprised at the beginning, but the high priest explained to me, saying that they seem to be researching this technology recently. And they have passed many experiments , have found some similar methods.”

"Although the high priest didn't say anything to me, I roughly think...it should be relying on the saint of light. The method of transferring the affinity of magic power seems to be manipulated by the saint. In other words , this method of transfer needs to use a lot of light magic to be able to do it."

Airl lowered her head and thought for a moment.Then, he raised his head again and said, "If your flame magic affinity can be transferred, do you know who this power is going to be transferred to?"

Quint frowned slightly, and said: "Well... I don't know about it. But it is probably not the high priests of the Holy See of Light. What the Holy See of Light pays attention to is purity. If you are willing to accommodate other elements If they were friendly magicians, they would have taken them in long ago, and they wouldn’t just think about moving them now.”

In other words, this magical affinity is either used as a raw material, or...

Just transfer it to other people to use it?

Thinking of this, Ai Luo nodded lightly, and then said: "Boss Quint, the kind of thing you just said that can make a lot of money at one go... Isn't that what you mean?"

Quint nodded lightly, with a flattering smile on his face, and said: "President Arrow, actually, I don't really know why a kid from a rich family like you would come out to do such and such a thing, run a business A guild is indeed very hard, I admit this. But at the same time, we should also fully consider that we have many things that cannot be changed.”

With that said, Quint turned his head, glanced at the members of Mermaid Song in the lounge area, and said, "It's like those two girls, one is called Coco and the other is Margaux, right? The one is called Margaux's girl has the magical affinity of the light element. This kind of power is not necessarily needed by the Holy See, but it is not too much. After all, there are indeed many priests who are extremely devout in this world. In the end, only Can do a small clerical job."

"And that cocoa, that affinity for necromancer magic is really rare, and necromancer magic is not a good thing for ordinary people...According to many books, necromancers basically They’re all played in villains.”

"The two girls possess this power, but President Airl, you should also understand that this power is not eternal for them."

"As their age continues to grow, as they marry, their magical affinity will rapidly decline. I am afraid that in another ten years, even they themselves will forget that they once had this unique honor. .”

"This is something that cannot be helped. It is something that has been decided long ago in this world. Women are born unable to bear this powerful power. So instead of waiting until their power declines, there is no way to continue to use it. It’s wasted, why not sell it at a good price while their magic affinity is still strong?”

It has to be said that Quint did not have that contemptuous expression on his face.

On the contrary, the expression of the workshop owner was very sincere, without any intention of humiliating anyone present.

Just listening to these words, the smile on Airl's face flickered for a moment.But even so, he still maintained his smile very well, so that he could continue to listen to the workshop owner.

"My weak flame magic affinity can be sold for almost a thousand gold coins, so with the two of them's flourishing magic affinity, I think it is possible to sell them for [-] gold coins, right? Arrow will Long, this is a lot of money that they will never see in their entire lives! Selling something that would disappear anytime, anywhere, in exchange for a lifetime of food and clothing, I think this is really the best way And with such a huge sum of money, no matter how luxurious and thorough the preparations President Airl makes, it won’t be a troublesome thing.”

Arrow just smiled at Boss Quint's kindness.But he didn't speak, just turned his head and looked at the blue sky outside the balcony... Well, amidst the rising smoke all around, the sky looked a little gray...

"Huh..." He patted the guardrail lightly, then turned his head, smiled at Boss Quint, and said——

"Let's wait for our guild to finish this guild championship battle. No matter what, there is only one magician and one priest in our guild. If we remove them, our guild's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. .Um... By the way, when are you going to sell your magic affinity?"

Seeing that Airl changed the subject, Boss Quint couldn't continue talking.Indeed, no matter how you say it, the guild leader is right.

At that moment, he nodded and said: "The day after tomorrow. Actually, I signed up for this decisive battle of the national war card to enjoy the glory of the competition for the last time before selling my magic affinity. Sigh... I really want to Say goodbye to my gift from God as a victor... But if I say that to that assassin in your guild, I'm afraid he will feel some emotional pity for me. After all... ...I really lack such a sum of money for business turnover now..."

Ai Luo smiled slightly and said, "Boss Quint, if you transfer the magic power the day after tomorrow, I don't know if I can go with you and see it? If you can really see the Holy Maiden of Light, that would be a great one." Little luck!"

Quint thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Well... I can't guarantee it, but it shouldn't be a problem for me to take you with me. The afternoon after tomorrow, or just like this, I will pick you up the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and then we will set off together. "

Airl smiled, this topic is now over.

After changing the subject and talking about innocuous scenery and other topics again, Airl coughed while covering his nose, and returned to the lounge on the grounds that he couldn't stand the smell of smoke.

The members were also curious about what kind of money-making projects their president had discussed just now, but Airl didn't say anything, but said that it was some "business secrets" and kept everyone's mouths covered.

Continue to rest, chat, and wait until the sun is almost down, and everyone is considered to have ended this leisure trip, leaving one by one.And Arrow just found an excuse and dragged it off until the last one to leave, and only after everyone had almost left did he tiptoe back to the bathroom, put on his old clothes and hat again, and then swaggered Walked out of the lava bath.

Afterwards, everyone in Song of the Mermaid went back to the White Whale to have dinner. Arrow asked the Ironbeard boss about Viscount Rich. After learning that the biggest sponsor had not arrived yet, he also He shrugged helplessly.But besides that, he also got news from other people who came to inquire about his guild.After careful inquiry, they are all bosses, presidents of chambers of commerce and the like.

Needless to say, most of them are thinking about things related to Mars Capone's legacy.

Ai Luo didn't say much, and after dinner, he asked Brad to lead the way to find the cheese who had been missing for a day and a night.

Seeing Arrow's appearance that he already knew, Brad looked a bit embarrassed, but Cream and Margot hurriedly helped to smooth things over, saying that it was still early and needed to wait.

During the waiting time, the boss of Floyd came as promised, had a good chat with Ai Luo, and very readily dropped in the sponsorship fee - 50 gold coins.

Such a figure is really insignificant in Airl's eyes... But no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, isn't it?At the moment, he also readily signed the sponsorship contract, saying that he would not waste the sponsorship fee of the boss in vain.

In this way, time continued to pass until midnight...

"Let's go, President."

Cream sorted out his equipment a little bit, and said seriously.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Airl also knew that what greeted him now might not be a simple matter.

At the moment, he also made everyone get ready, and everyone in the Mermaid Song guild walked towards that destination together.

Chapter 720 Under the Moon, Graves, Vampires

when--

The twelve o'clock bell had just struck, and the streets, which were still bustling during the day, turned out to be like ruins where ghosts lodged at night, giving people a slightly trembling feeling.

The dim light is not enough to illuminate every corner of the city, and the flickering oil lamp is like a fire of life that will be extinguished anytime and anywhere in this quiet night, as if the next second will be turned off.

On the street, there were already no people.

Looking at this city that was very lively a few hours ago, it is now in a dead silence, and there is no light in the buildings on both sides of the street. Ai Luo feels that he can hardly recognize this place city.

yes……

A city that is still bustling during the day becomes so dark and secretive at night.

No one knows how terrible things will happen in such darkness, but I believe that those who have already curled up in the bed will not want to know the secrets that have nothing to do with themselves.

"Wait a moment."

Arrow muttered softly.

There was no need for him to say anything, Cream, who was at the front of the line, immediately stopped and shrank into the alley next to him.

Everyone followed and hid together. It didn't take long before a small light flashed on the dark road ahead.Not long after, a five-member patrol passed by in front of everyone.

After the patrol team had gone far away, Airl let out a breath and waved his hand to signal everyone to continue.

While walking forward, Ke Ke turned his head and asked, "Brother President, are you not allowed to leave at night?"

Ai Luo smiled and said: "That's not true. After all, Hanhai City has not enforced the curfew. It's just that we have so many people equipped with so many weapons. If we encounter patrols, we will definitely be targeted. In order to avoid trouble, we still Be careful."

While speaking, Arrow walked.But it didn't take long for him to understand where his group was headed.

"Rest in Cemetery"

In the corner of this city, there is a place that only belongs to the dead.

The noble and simple decoration seems to represent holiness during the day, but at night, it seems to have a different kind of weird feeling.

The gravekeeper of the cemetery stayed safely in his tomb guard room, and now he didn't know if he was sleeping or doing some shady activities.

There is no light in the entire cemetery. Even the moon in the sky can't illuminate this darkness. Airl can only follow the most basic rules, follow behind his members, and head towards the destination touch.

After walking for about 10 minutes, in a very remote corner of this large cemetery, Airl finally came to a new tomb.

And Cream also let out a sigh of relief, pointed to the purpose that had just been stacked, and said to Brad next to him, "Is it here?"

Brad nodded, pulled out the giant sword behind him without any doubt, and began to shovel up the dirt.

Seeing this, Airl could only laugh helplessly, and said, "In the cemetery at midnight, digging a vampire's grave? It feels really cool." Seeing Airl start joking, Margot on the side He agreed, and then said: "Actually, we should be very lucky, after all, there is me as a priest. Are we doing the business of eliminating vampires now? Well, I feel a little eager to try."

There was a slight smile on the faces of everyone present.But soon, everyone turned their attention to the tomb again.

After all, no one knows what kind of changes have taken place inside after being locked up for almost a day and a night.

It didn't take long for all the buried earth to be lifted, revealing an apparently new coffin inside.

Seeing this perfectly stitched coffin, Arrow suddenly thought of something, turned his head and immediately looked at Brad next to him and said, "You won't bury this guy with a real dead person? In other words, we Are you digging a grave now?"

Brad smiled, yes, quickly waved his hand, and said: "No, I stole this coffin from the morgue. Maybe someone will use it in the past two days, but when I stole it, I stole it from the morgue. No one uses it."

Hmm... stealing?

Forget it, there are priorities, so let's not think about it now.Moreover, no dead person has been laid in this coffin, so it shouldn't be a problem to wash it up and go back.

"Come on, let's lift the coffin lid."

Cream jumped down from the pit, grabbed the coffin board and lifted it up vigorously.Brad followed suit, and Coco immediately summoned undead soldiers to help.

It's just that the coffin might have been a bit rough when it was buried, and the coffin boards were not completely closed, which caused some misalignment now, and there was no way to completely lift it up for a while.In addition, Ai Luo didn't want to directly destroy this other person's coffin, so he kept telling everyone to handle it with care, so it took a long time, and he only moved the coffin lid slightly by about a palm's distance.

"Hoo... Cheese? Are you in there?"
