"It's wrong of you to say that. This is just some labor fees at most!" The old mage said with a smile, "You are embarrassed to let me, an old man, work for you in vain, right? You know, this kind of magic circle But it’s very big and cumbersome, and it takes a lot of effort to put it up.”
"You~" When Lao Xie heard this, he was immediately speechless. Although he knew that the old mage was trying to rip him off, he had no idea what to do. Who said he could do this magic circle by himself? And Lao Xie's current net worth is really extremely rich, even the old mage is a little jealous, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
So Lao Xie himself knew that if he wanted to use the old mage, he would not be able to do it without bleeding. In desperation, he looked at the list of materials again and found that it was worth almost hundreds of thousands of gold coins. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your labor fee is too high, right? I will give you half at most!"
"Come less!" Lao Xie originally wanted to bargain, but unexpectedly the old mage said very firmly: "Nothing less! Don't think that I don't know the Lich King's family background, that guy is rampant in the mainland for 2000, you can just pull it out The root hair is thicker than my waist, so it’s nothing like me!”
"This!" Lao Xie was hit in a sore spot all of a sudden. Indeed, the Lich King's wealth is only a few million gold coins, and the old mage's information is only a drop in the bucket.
"Alas!" Now that the trick was seen through, the old mage could only let out a long sigh, and then said: "Okay, okay, I admit it. I will bring out the things. I need to set up the magic circle immediately. Help Catherine first." Use the Summoning Stone!"
"Okay, give me the materials first!" the old mage said immediately.
There is nothing Lao Xie can do. We can only give him a lot of precious materials from the space ring first. The old mage checked the list and found that there were a lot of them. Instead of showing a happy expression, he said with a depressed look: "It's broken, it's broken!"
"What's wrong?" Catherine immediately asked curiously.
"Alas, I still underestimated the Lich King's collection." The old mage smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, these materials are all rare items that I specially selected that even money can't buy. I originally thought he had the most. He could collect two thirds. But unexpectedly, this boy took it out easily. According to his temper, he would not have given in so easily if he didn't have a lot in hand. I did something stupid! I should have blackmailed more!" The old mage looked regretful.
It seemed that this was the first time Catherine had seen such a greedy old mage, so she was immediately petrified. However, Lao Xie, who was familiar with the old mage, did not show any surprise. Instead, he said triumphantly: "Hey, it's too late to know now! Hurry up and prepare the magic circle!"
The old mage suddenly rolled his eyes. He immediately said: "Okay, I'll prepare it for Catherine right away! You can come and use it in 2 hours!" After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.
The old mage agreed so quickly, which made Lao Xie feel a little puzzled and couldn't help but said to Catherine. "This old guy agreed so happily, isn't there some conspiracy?"
"Looking at what you said, isn't he going to prepare now? What other conspiracy could there be?" Catherine asked doubtfully.
Lao Xie shook his head and said. "You don't know, this old guy is cheating. If you don't take advantage of me this time, he will definitely not let it go. I have a hunch that he probably has a back-up plan waiting for me!"
"No way?" Catherine said in disbelief.
"Absolutely. If you don't believe it, you will know after he finishes it!" Lao Xie said with great certainty.
"Haha. Okay, let's make a bet!" Catherine immediately smiled and said: "If the teacher doesn't continue to blackmail you, you have to agree to serve in my army!"
"Okay!" Lao Xie immediately nodded and agreed: "If he continues to blackmail me, please stop bothering me about this matter? I don't want to waste my good time on those men!" Obviously! , for Lao Xie, practicing while enjoying a life with beautiful women is the most ideal, as for things like making meritorious deeds. He had no interest at all.
In fact, Catherine has already figured out Lao Xie's character. He knew that if he invited him, he would definitely be rejected. That's why this bet was used to invite Lao Xie to come out. Now that she saw Lao Xie agreeing to the bet, Catherine was naturally excited, and then smiled and said: "Then it's settled! Haha, I believe that the teacher is a person, and he is definitely not the kind of despicable person who takes advantage of others. So, you Definitely lose!"
"Haha!" Lao Xie did not retort, but just kept covering his mouth and laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Catherine was so scared by his laughter that she couldn't help but said with a hint of anger, "Is it so funny?"
"Whether it's funny or not, you'll know soon!" Lao Xie didn't even explain. Just then, Lilith brought him food, so he sat down and ate. Of course, he did not forget to invite Catherine. Of course, Catherine would not be polite to him, so she also sat down and started eating elegantly.
Since he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, Lao Xie also paid attention to restraining his eating habits, eating in a very gentlemanly manner, and showed a little bit of his aristocratic taste in front of Catherine.
As expected by Lao Xie, Catherine, who was used to seeing Lao Xie's vulgar appearance, was immediately surprised when she saw Lao Xie's gentlemanly appearance. I couldn't help but wonder: "Dear little Stephen, you obviously know aristocratic etiquette very well? But why do you eat in such a rude way at a large banquet without caring about etiquette?"
"Because I like that kind of bold feeling!" Lao Xie then shrugged and said: "But today I am accompanying you, and I am afraid that it will affect your appetite, so I have to put away my temper, otherwise , even at the royal banquet, I will not have any scruples, I will definitely eat as much as I want!"
"Ah, shouldn't I be very moved?" Catherine couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Haha, you really should be moved!" Lao Xie said shamelessly.
"There's really nothing you can do about it!" Catherine said with a bitter smile.
Then the two chatted some more. In short, they spent this wonderful dinner time in a very warm atmosphere.
After dinner, the two of them drank tea for a while before the time came. It wasn't until the old mage sent Lilith to inform them that the magic circle was set up that the two of them got up and went out to the first underground floor.
The underground floor of the magic tower is a very large space. There are many large rooms equipped with teleportation magic arrays. Many of them have failed, so they were transformed into a magic array laboratory by the old mage, specifically used to lay some The magic circle needed.
Under the leadership of Lilith, Lao Xie and Catherine came to one of the rooms and found that an extremely complex magic circle had been carved into this hall of at least 200 square meters.
However, it is not finished yet. Seven or eight spirits are in the final process, carving lines on the ground with special tools according to the appearance on the scroll in their hands. The old mage was directing from the side.
However, although he was said to be a commander, he actually didn't speak much. Most of the time he was praising the work of the spirits. You must know that these selected spirits are all talents cultivated by the old mage. They all have a very high understanding of magic circles. With their skills, they can even carve complex magic circles on a narrow sword. But now it is rowing in the hall, and the difficulty has obviously been reduced a lot. Although this magic circle is several times more complicated than the previous one, it is not too difficult for these monsters who have been trained by Lao Xie for more than ten years. Just follow the drawing carefully and carve it.
After Lao Xie saw this scene, he immediately couldn't help crying or laughing, and couldn't help complaining: "So the magic circle that you said was 'troublesome to put up' was put up by my people?"
"Hey!" the old mage said with a smile: "Of course, if they do it for you, do you still need me to do it?"
"Yes, you are fierce!" Lao Xie couldn't help but said: "You are using my people to help me work, but you still ask me to give you money? What is this?"
"Hey!" The old mage suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Of course, you can't say that. After all, the magic circle is provided by me. Without me, can you monsters make it? What's more, those of yours The materials were all used in the magic circle, but I didn’t take them!”
"Really?" Lao Xie then looked around on the ground and quickly saw the various materials on the ground. Although there were indeed some precious materials, the total amount was only ten thousand. Compared with the materials I gave the old mage, the gold coins were not even the slightest bit different. And the most disgusting thing is that the most valuable materials he gave to the old mage did not appear on the magic circle at all. In other words, they were embezzled by the old mage under the guise of the magic circle.
After discovering this situation, Lao Xie couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I said, are you bullying me for not recognizing the materials? Even an idiot can see that the materials here are different from what I gave you. What a difference! Even a lot of advanced materials are not used here, but you want to leave from me! "
The old mage blushed, turned around and looked up, and said calmly: "Well, the weather is good today, the wind is sunny!" Looking at him, it seems that the 12-story magic tower above is transparent so that he could see the sky directly.
Seeing this funny scene, even Catherine smiled bitterly and couldn't help but said: "Teacher, it's dark now, how can you tell when the wind and sunshine are coming?"
