Chapter 515 (1/1)
Deep underground in Xigu City, there is a smell of blood in the cobweb filled rooms. Even if the summoning array connected to the Demon Lord is no longer effective, hundreds of rat people who died in it let it emit disgusting substances continuously. The curse crow glanced at the array in the corner of the room with some disdain. This kind of array which will bring about the legacy shows the lack of knowledge of the arranger. In the caster's world, ignorance is fatal. If you give the magician some time, he can even use the damaged summon array to get a lot of information and use it to use the curse. However, since the arranger of the array is in front of us, there is no reason for the curse crow to go further.
”I don't understand. Why does she care so much about returning her body?” Standing in a circle of vigilance and companions, buckram certainly does not trust the witches to abide by the deal, but as a first contact with the witch tradition, he is more curious about what effect Qili's body can have on kuira.
”Who knows, maybe she just wants to do something to make her buried in her hometown.” Carus prattled about the reasons he didn't believe in himself. It's possible that someone like Greene or emia might want to reclaim a companion's body, but kuila would never lower his bargaining power by negotiating with the Raven. There must be some other reason to force the witch to bring back the corpse of her younger generation.
The net worm frowned. After the Wangdu incident, she had heard how witches treated their lost companions. But the mercenary's habitual and strict words made her not say any more words, but silently observed the two people who were trading in the middle of the room. And the white giant spider that lies not far behind kuira. There was an irresistible desire in her eyes. Leicester Black Eyed spider is undoubtedly a rarity among many kinds of spiders. In addition, this one has been trained by witches to a huge size that can never grow under normal circumstances, let alone the protective magic symbols engraved on it. As long as you can get it, you can make a lot of money on this journey to the grey lion.
But it's not easy to get a witch's pet? Among other things, even if kuila is willing to let go of her giant spider named Jones, it is difficult for the webworm to tame it on its own. Excessive greed can only bring disaster, Miss mercenary remembers this lesson.
As several people expressed their views on the negotiation, Lyon carefully softened the dry food with water and put it into Gloria's mouth. The knight knows who the rat man is in front of him. Even if he becomes like this, the Saron family is also a member of the grey lion. As a kingdom knight, the blood lion has the obligation to ensure her safety. To be sure, Lyon doesn't like rat people, either native or mutant. Regardless of their nearly identical looks, no one would like to kill their comrades in arms. But the knight also understood that this hatred should not be borne by Gloria and the valley city mouse people led by her. They were also the victims of the plague. In this ambivalent mood, Lyon's eyebrows were not conscious of wrinkling up.
”Your companions seem to have different ideas, Mr. curse crow.” Kuira, who sat at the table, said with a smile to the wizard in front of him. It's just that the standard smile on the witch's face is a little stiff now, and only kuila knows how anxious she is now. Qili's accidental death completely disrupted her calculation and added one more part that she could not compromise in this negotiation. She had to recover Ellie's body.
This is not the request of the heartless witch group. Witches are born again and die badly. For the dead members, to be honest, they will not even hold a decent funeral. It's just the young witches who cremate the bodies of the dead and throw them into the harbor, and then the oldest Witches of the sorceress group distribute the property of the deceased to other members. As for whether the distribution is fair, it is not a topic that can be discussed. And this is not because witches are merciless. In most cases, they will be happy, angry, sad and happy just like ordinary people, but the fear of death, especially the death caused by life expectancy, has almost been engraved into the bones of witches. Everyone can not avoid this topic. For a long time, they have formed this cold habit.
So kuirah's desire to get her body was purely for her personal purpose. She wanted Ellie's eyes, those eyes that were born with gorgeous colors. As long as they can get them, kuira has his own way to make them show all kinds of abilities as their masters did when they are alive. A pair of eyeballs with Qili's power is much more controllable than a living Qili.
Kuira has already made plans. If she can make the crow cooperate with her and get the reward given by the existence, it will be great. Even if her negotiation with the wizard failed, she was sure to escape with her body. In this way, even if she could not get a reward, Qili's eyes could make up for the waste of resources in this operation.
As for the lives of Ellie and Peggy and the mission of the sorcerer, kuirah didn't consider that from the beginning. Originally, she accepted this task in order to get the assets left by grein, who is also a long-lived witch. Since someone offered a higher price, she certainly didn't mind putting down the task and getting involved in the plague. Similarly, if she realizes she can't get paid, kuila will not hesitate to retreat to prevent further losses.
This is what most people call wisdom. However, for the curse crow, this idea is extremely shallow. If you don't want to pay, you want to reap a lot, and you give up the principle at will for the sake of interests. This is not a creed recognized by a grey robe. In order to get and pay the price, in order to balance the gains and losses, this is the rule that the magician follows. However, this does not mean that the curse crow does not know how to deal with such people. On the contrary, witches are already too familiar with such people.”The nine heads of Hydra have their own will, and I am just the nominal leader of this team. I can't ask too much. Are you right? ” The curse crow pulled up one side of the mouth, showing a sarcastic smile. His expression made kuila very uncomfortable, and the witch felt as if she had been underestimated.
”I have shown my sincerity, and I just hope you can show the same thing.” Kuirapi said with a smile.
What she said only brought more ridicule from the magician. However, mantra crow also knows that nothing can be done too much. If he wants to make the deal complete, or at least on the surface, he can't really piss the other party. ”Sincerity? But I've only heard your request so far. Whether it's for me to return the body of your companion, or to withdraw me and my friends, you haven't asked what I want, right? ”
”I can give you any rat man alive here. Complete, without any means. ” Said kuila, frowning, reminding the sorcerer with her eyes that among the rat men, including Gloria. It seemed to her that these people had come here for the sake of the rat man.
The witch's judgment is right, but unfortunately it is for cheese, and curse crow is not cheese. The magician curled his mouth and looked surprised. ”But I don't want them. What does the life and death of these stupid creatures have to do with me?”
