i used to be a devil

The mercenary union seems to be coming and going as usual——

To be honest, Yi Rang didn't quite understand how a small town with a small population could look so lively every day.

The mercenaries around seemed to be more active than usual, talking to each other in twos and threes about some news that they didn't know where they heard from.

The atmosphere looks a little different than in the past.

Yi Rang is not the kind of person who will take the initiative to strike up a conversation. If he hears a few sporadic words, he will hear them. If he doesn't hear them, then forget it.Walking towards the handover point of the task contract, handing over the extra harvest of this trip, but the moment the task receptionist in front of him took the contract, he slightly backtracked.

"It may be necessary for the commissioner to inspect in person."

After all, although the magic bone crystal orchid and the rotten soil crystal orchid are similar materials, they are different in terms of grades. The most fundamental difference is that one can make aurora potions, and the other can only be used among some ordinary potions. used in.Yi Rang said, and patiently said to the somewhat puzzled receptionist in front of him: "I only found the magic bone crystal orchid."

"..."

As soon as the words came out, the receptionist's eyes on Yi Rang changed.

Looking at it this way, it seems that something has been confirmed.It's just that Yi Rang's smile remained unchanged, but he still bent the corners of his lips towards the other party, and said politely and patiently: "Trouble."

……

Not surprisingly, Yirang's mission client this time is an alchemist.

On the standard robes are all kinds of complicated patterns of transformation patterns, and there are special ornaments on the hands.Before he saw Yi Rang, he looked expectant, but after seeing Yi Rang clearly and confirming that he was only a three-star mage, his whole attitude was raised a bit.

In this world, force values ​​somehow speak for themselves.As an alchemist, although the incoming man's strength is not high, but as far as he is concerned, it is more than enough to despise Yi Rang.

"Three-star Mage—"

"Happy to meet."

"..."

The appearance of being too calm made the other party feel disappointed for a moment when he threw out a mocking skill but was flashed by the other party.Then he clicked his tongue impatiently.

After watching these series of performances, Yi Rang felt that they were not very innovative - if all the provocative words were from the point of view of the three-star mage, he would find it boring after hearing too much.

Why didn't anyone first attack Yiran Field's weak physical fitness and perennially depleted mana?

Yirang, who had never experienced the period of mana exhaustion so frequently in the past, was different from these ordinary people who often fell into the period of mana exhaustion in battle.

The other party came later, so after expressing his disdain, the alchemist who didn't use his taunting skills well at the beginning was standing.

With her hands crossed on her overlapping legs, Yi Rang sat comfortably, looking up at the alchemist in front of her who didn't know whether she was sitting or standing, and said with a tolerant attitude: "Sit."

"..." The other party felt humiliated, and when he sat down, every joint said "I'm very angry now".

If in normal times, the opposite was really a three-star sorcerer, he probably would have knelt down in fear and begged for forgiveness, right?

It's a pity that the alchemist met Yi Rang this time.

Yirang, who had never learned to consider other people's emotional changes, directly took out the previous task contract, and said to the alchemist in front of him, "Choose one."

The task has already been taken over by the other party at this time, and it has been reported as completed. No matter what, as the client, he can only choose to see it before deciding whether to pay the reward.

Even if there are 1 dissatisfaction with the other party's attitude, the alchemist's idea is to take a casual look first, and then completely deny the completion of your report, and then find someone to deal with you——

With this in mind, when he opened the alchemy pocket attached to the mission contract, the mocking words that were about to jump out of his throat, halfway through speaking, completely turned around, "...what the hell are you—— Are you kidding me?! So many magic bone crystal orchids?!"

In his agitation, he almost threw the contract out, but before he could move, reason caught him and made him control himself—he turned to try to catch Yi Rang, who was about to die in his hand. When he touched the collar, he lowered his head slowly, and his eyes fell on his hands, almost full of disgust...

"Cough—" This unknown Mr. Alchemist didn't know what he was embarrassed about. According to the usual situation, it was obvious that he gave the other party great honor in this situation.

Not to mention showing off, if a mere third-level mage dares to treat him like this, he guarantees that he will be unable to move an inch for the rest of his life in Boulterton Town...

But that's not what he's thinking about now.

"Let's talk about a price. I'll accept all of your magic bones and crystal orchids."

After only a second of gaffe, the Mr. Alchemist restrained the expression on his face, and became serious and sincere the next moment, with a little honesty when necessary.

The huge contrast between the front and back made Yi Rang feel like he was watching a monkey show. He looked up and down at the alchemist in front of him, leaned back slightly, and paused for a while, as if he had made up his mind after serious thinking.

Lifting his chin slightly, Yirang answered, "What's the name?"

"...Better than the market price—" The asking price that almost blurted out came to a sudden stop. While the unknown alchemist reflected what Yi Rang said, a breath suddenly stuck in his throat.He was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to turn against Yi Rang loudly: after all, he looked very unmannered on the one hand, and on the other hand, it would be too embarrassing if he jumped.

"We don't think it's necessary for us to exchange names with each other, Samsung Mage." After considering what he didn't say, he hesitated a few times before being swallowed, the alchemist in front of him said, "Maybe you are Fortunately, this time I got a lot of magic bone crystal orchids, but I don't think there is any possibility for us to cooperate in the future."

Really bad arrogance.

Raising her hand to smooth the cuff of the robe, Yirang couldn't see how angry she was, and she was still calm when she replied, "You seem to have made a mistake—forget it, let's talk about it first, can the magic bone crystal orchid be handed over to you?" task list."

After hearing this sentence, the other party looked at Yi Rang's expression, it seemed to say that you are not a fool, right?

From the simplest value point of view, the rot crystal orchid and the magic bone crystal orchid are not comparable at all. To use high-end goods to offset the task of low-end goods, he is thinking that this three-star mage is not crazy.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"determine."

……

Seeing that Yirang, who had confirmed the content of the mission contract, handed him a magic bone crystal orchid, and then left with a pitiful sum of gold coins, Bals felt that the target person might not be very smart.

——That is the name of that unknown Mr. Alchemist, Barth Ronda.

When the mage, who seemed to be in the stage of magic failure, took the money and left, he seemed to be shaking when he walked, making him wonder if he would die suddenly on the ground in the next second.

"You mean, this guy is the target?"

The mercenary union's office occupies a relatively large area. With enough land, the place where Bals and Yirang met this time was on the second floor of a mercenary union.

Facing the stairs, I could see Iran Field, who had delivered the task, walk out of the hall in a short while, go around to the window, and just saw the route he left.

The magic bone crystal orchid that Bals had just obtained was quietly in the alchemy dish, not much different from when it was still growing normally.Looking away from Yi Rang who was mixed into the crowd, he walked over and sat down at the table, and continued to the empty room: "In my opinion, he may be the same guy as those troubadours said. There is no difference. Maybe he has some special ability to cover up, but the appearance of the mana exhaustion period is impossible to be wrong-but he doesn't even use mana recovery potion."

In other words: useless.

Since they had doubts about him, they conducted a detailed investigation on this guy named Iran Field.

According to the results of the investigation: Yiran Field is not the kind of wealthy magician-he has no money to buy materials, so he can't improve himself, so he can't accept high-level tasks, and then he has no money.

A mage of this level really makes people unable to believe how much of a threat he can be.

After all, if you can't even solve your own money problem, nothing else can be solved.

This kind of people--

"Maybe he doesn't need it at all."

Another voice sounded in the room. After a while, a faint shadow slowly appeared, as if it had transformed from a shadow into a person. The newcomer who appeared out of thin air wore an overly wide hood, covering almost the entire faces.

He stretched out his hand and turned the alchemy vessel on the table. With his movement, the crystal orchid whose branches and leaves were originally transparent refracted the light that shone on it into multi-colored light.

"I really haven't heard of any sorcerer who is so powerful." Bals snatched the alchemy dish, "I don't believe that the soul of a god—even if it's a fragment, will become that Iraqis." The Ghost of Jean Field,"

When Bals' face, which was still an honest man before, was full of disdain, he seemed quite villainous, "I'm not bragging, if the soul fragments of the twelve angels are weak to this extent, I will I don’t think the church needs to spend so much trouble—with all due respect, I can fight ten of such opponents, and then go back to the imperial capital to complete the call of the first god, which is completely enough.”

"You don't even know—"

"Enough Sora."

Before the Hood could finish speaking, Bals interrupted him directly: "You know why Elro became a "former" church knight, and you really thought that he was still the head of the church knights back then? Arrow can't do it?"

"..."

These words were like piercing some kind of blunt weapon of self-hypnosis. The hidden person who became Sola took a deep breath, threw everything he had experienced in the forest of magic breath out of his mind, and finally nodded and said: "Yes, I see."
