Chapter 56 Section 56. New Agreement
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.
Before departure, Annan went back first. 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 a 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 couldn't 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 weakness of the weak against the manipulator.
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 a tiny spider crawling toward food suddenly turns upside down.
The wooden stick scooped out the panicked little spider and its prey.
"you're 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.
Annan exhaled to suppress the negative emotions that emerged, and carefully removed the spider silk stuck to the shell of the struggling reptile, 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 the carriage unfamiliarly in the afternoon before dusk arrived, leaving Breeze City.
He didn't dare to stay too far away, even if Michael guaranteed that no one in Breeze City would dare to offend the Mage Tower.
Stopping 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 clan pressure seeped out from the other side of the crack.
"The duration of the summoning spell is limited, I'll keep the 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 came not for you and your treasure house, but for me... I'm sorry to involve you, but this time it's just Test, I'm not sure if they will continue to attack me. So I need your help. As a reward, I will hire you at a 200% premium according to the Breeze City Employment Pricing Manual."
The scales on the other side of the crack changed, and the dark yellow vertical pupil almost filled the crack, staring at the humans who dared to deceive the dragons. The sharp horns "crackled" with thunder, and a rough whisper sounded coldly:
"How much?"
Annan said sincerely: "The employment 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 a giant dragon is not the 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 trove beyond the contract." If this kind of coercion made the blue dragon angry, the next words were like pulling off its scales, "And they killed me, and everyone who should have belonged to you Months of gold coins will also leave you."
Annan bites the accent on “Should Be Yours” and “Gold Coin” and “Gone Away.”
This kind of thing is indescribably terrifying to the dragon.
"Your price is an insult to a great dragon..."
Blue Dragon's attitude was slightly relaxed, but it still insisted on the price.
"Great Lord Blue Dragon, how about 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, I will pay you 1 gold coin for each one you solve. If you are an elite professional, 10 gold coins per person.”
"Will you give me 100 gold coins for the master level?"
"If I were alive then."
The strength of a young blue dragon is close to that of a master spellcaster. 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.
Blue Dragon was still silent, and Annan continued to use gold coins to seduce him: "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 get 100 golden coins at a time. of Kinnar.”
The vertical pupils on the opposite side of the slit gradually expanded.
"Human, why don't you let your protector take action?" The blue dragon suddenly said in a low voice.
But on the way here, Annan thought of an excuse: "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 had agreed to the agreement. Annan suppressed his excitement: "But they are just a group of gangsters..."
"Five gold coins."
Blue Dragon 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."
"Can."
The crackling light blue dragon's breath spurted out from its nostrils, and the blue dragon urged Annan to pay quickly.
Annan touched the inner pocket of the mage's robe and looked at Lan Long cautiously: "I don't bring that much money..."
"How many is that?"
"10 silver coins and zero...3 copper coins."
"Give it to me first!"
"But I still want to keep some for use..."
After a 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 toward 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 summoning spells cannot be used as teleportation.
The cracks gradually faded before my 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.
