Chapter 6 Ability of Mage

"I'm Kaos, the chief mage of the Northland. It's a pleasure to meet a young man like you."

The wizard stretched out his palm and tapped his chest, dispelling the sinister atmosphere in the tent.The deterrence of the law is originally the atmosphere in the space. When the command of the atmosphere is revoked, the young man naturally regains the ability to think normally.

"Young man, tell me your name and the location of that ice elf wizard, and I will give you enough rewards. Thirty gems are enough for you to do whatever you want in this world. Now, tell me you Know everything."

But even if he was able to think normally, the young man still looked dumbfounded at the sorcerer who was like a black mist on the opposite side, and his facial expression didn't change even the slightest bit.He couldn't understand the wizard who had come out of the legend before him, let alone the fact that the fat businessman was dead.So he can only stay in place.

Kaos looked at the dull young man and frowned dissatisfied.He didn't show up to see the young man look so stupid.His target was the ice elf wizard who didn't know where he was from beginning to end.So in order to save time, he used his cane to turn the table in front of the young man into a ball of powder, using this most intuitive method to show his existence.

This very old and boring way of facing threats is really the best way to use it.Facing the senses less than [-] centimeters away from the destruction made the young man's dilated pupils instantly shrink to the size of a pinhole, and the imminent footsteps of death made him breathe quickly.But what surprised Kaos was that even in the face of such a threat, the young man still lowered his head and gritted his teeth, showing a resentful expression, as if he was dying and did not intend to speak .This took the wizard by surprise.

"Young man, why don't you speak up? Are you feeling a little displeased with my price? Or out of fear?"

Looking at the young man who was trembling with fear, but didn't even say a word, Kaos also became a little interested.He has seen too many mortals who fainted from fright just hearing the name of the wizard, he has also seen many greedy beings who pretend to be indifferent, but in reality their souls are screaming all the time, and he has also seen many ghosts who are obsessed and try to blackmail the wizard fool.Although these people have different attitudes and methods, they cannot deceive their own souls after all.What surprised the wizard was that even the person in the world of the soul still made a gesture of rejection.This made the wizard very interested.

"If it's money, are these enough?"

The black-robed mage tapped the ground with his staff.Those wooden tables and fat businessman's wreck powder that can be seen everywhere on the floor suddenly changed their original structure, from the original gray dust instantly agglomerated into a ball of dazzling gold powder.And not only that, even some hay and debris in the tent were turned into gold products.The black-robed wizard is like a demon from the kingdom of gold, with countless golden powder flowing from his fingers, tempting the young man in front of him.

As expected, the young man shook his head silently.He looked at the wailing chaos spar on the mage's palm, bit his lip tightly, clenched his fists and said nothing.This made the spirit of the wizard even higher.But this does not prevent the establishment of the transaction.Just like the fat man who has turned into a soul spar said, everything can be traded, and all you see is the asking price.Kaos was a little curious about how far this young man could go.

"If money can't shake you, then it means that what you want is not money. How about power? I have a contract with the devil here, and you can easily drive this Balor to do whatever you want. As long as you tell me where the ice elf witch is, then I can give you this little thing."

The wizard took out a dark red biological skin scroll from his black robe.The dark red words full of blood on it were distorted into a series of weird and terrifying runes.It was a trading scroll condensed with the real name of a demon. As long as you sign your name on it and soak the entire scroll with your own blood, then this demon will serve the existence of the signed name for free for a whole lifetime.Even if that human made the demon commit suicide, he couldn't resist at all.

"Nightmare spar, as long as you eat this little thing, you can have the power to manipulate nightmares and illusions. If your talent is good, you can also call out the fear in other people's bodies in their dreams, causing direct damage to them .”

As if this temptation was not enough, the wizard thought for a while and took out a brown spar from his robe.Just looking at the radiance flowing above, the young man felt a terrifying call gradually sounding from his mind.It was as if someone was screaming and screaming in his mind, creating a sense of panic and terror in his heart.

But the young man with short flaxen hair and a rigid face still kept his mouth shut like a rock.The anger in his eyes was even worse than before, and he looked at the MLM-like mage over there with deep-seated hatred, and shook his head firmly.

Seeing such a persistent young man, the sorcerer like a withered vine smiled even more strangely and terrifyingly.

"Are you really not thinking about it anymore? Unknown young man? You can have the wealth to buy the city, and you can also have the power to make the world tremble, and all this just needs you to give me a coordinate. Young People, persistence is often meaningless. Sometimes you have to face a beautiful choice, for example, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The wizard moved his fingers, and the gold powder on the ground gradually floated up and slowly rotated around the young man's body, just like children surrounding their parents, showing strange ones in the red gold powder mist. smile.The dark red scroll and brown gemstones are also surrounded by pale golden flames. The power of demons and nightmares is laughing wildly in the flames, showing his future of rampaging and unscrupulous in the north after having these powers.

He can walk in the Northland unscrupulously, killing anyone who doesn't like it.He can use money to buy the most prosperous place in the entire Northland and act as his own reservation.He can also use this money to invest in his own caravan and become the only big businessman in the empire. Perhaps even those hell marches that trade in hell are not comparable to his capital.

"Give me the coordinates, and give you the future. It's a fair deal, isn't it?"

Looking at the young man sitting on the chair, the wizard's withered face showed a smile of victory.He believed that no businessman in this world would refuse such a deal.If this young man is still a heartless businessman, then the next moment will see how this young man accepts it.But soon, the wizard realized that he had really miscalculated.

"You killed my uncle, and now you want to exchange the information you want from my mouth, and then kill my savior. Even if you are facing the chief mage of the Northland, even if you are facing the wizard, I You are also qualified to be angry, right? I will guard my soul until I am lost. I will guard my glory until I fall. You can tempt me, you can comfort me, maybe I will be your magic in the next second Become a mindless puppet, but you can't kill me now."

The young man looked contemptuously at the ghostly mage in front of him, and said those words firmly.Then he closed his eyes as if accepting his fate, waiting for the next fate to judge him.Hearing such words, the wizard closed his empty pupils for the first time, and stared at the young man's freckled face with black eyes.He began to really face this determined young man.

The young man was not considered handsome, he could only be called an ordinary person.The bridge of the nose is slightly collapsed, the face is square, and the face is full of acne caused by the restlessness of youth.His forehead was covered with fear and the cold sweat left by the imminent death, and his hands were twitching non-stop.He straightened his back like this and was sitting on the chair, his soul was constantly flickering, quietly waiting for the coming of death.He really didn't say a word to the wizard when he was dying, just because it violated his morals.

...Did I actually humiliate such a hero just now?
Kaos suddenly felt a little downhearted.A sudden sense of guilt made him unable to toss about any longer.

"I seem to have to admit my failure, young merchant. Tell me your name. Then tell me how to get the coordinates of that ice elf. I will guarantee with my life that I will not harm her a single bit Nothing. Tell me your conditions. I will do my best to compensate you for your loss."

"Thank you for your generosity, Master Mage. If you are willing to swear to save my benefactor from disaster, then I will tell you. As for compensation, you don't need it. I still can't accept compensation from a big man like you. Then will die"

He is well aware of the contrast of forces, and of the fact that fiction cannot be taken seriously.So the young man didn't humiliate a wizard like those biographies said, but spread his hands with a very realistic wry smile.The young man's request seemed so insignificant in the eyes of the mage.So much so that the sense of guilt made the mage take a small step back.

"Can you bring the dead back to life? Bring back my uncle who died under your hands? That's impossible—"

"If it's about bringing your uncle back to life, I can still do it." The wizard looked at the dejected young man and said softly: "It's not difficult. It only needs a few small magic spells. You are completely Don't worry about it. In fact, I just intend to warn you, I won't kill anyone if I don't offend you."

"...Then what's the point of my being so sad?"

"I don't know either. Probably meaningless."

"..."
