Chapter 78 Reward
The magic circle was just to show his achievements to the mission delivery person in exchange for a richer reward. As for the magic circle itself, of course, it cannot be left alone. Just keep it like this. If there is any change, Eiger will be the sinner of the East Valley.
After confirming that the rubbing was completed, he took out a bucket of black stuff from the hero space. This thing is a bit like the asphalt used to build roads in later generations. It was extracted from the residue of "Devil's Tears". Because of its strong aversion to demons, it became a good and cheap magical destruction paint.
"Devil's Tears" are not that mysterious. It's just that the name of ignorant people who don't understand the truth and like to involve gods and demons. There is a relatively reliable name for dwarfs or goblins who are proficient in engineering: crude oil!
That's right, "Devil's Tears" is just crude oil. However, the technology in Azeroth is not as developed as later generations, and the drilling technology is not as exquisite as it is. There are very few crude oil in the open air, so only the engineering-proficient dwarfs (whether they are dwarfs or goblins, they are called dwarfs on the head and giants in technology). They have some research on crude oil. Other famous Iron Fort steam tanks use crude oil.
Magic is sometimes very fragile, just like the carefully masterpieces of more than a dozen Diafi warlocks in front of you. After preparing for so many days, it is almost finished. A bucket of asphalt paint can be poured into this exquisite six-pointed star formation so simply. A great masterpiece in the eyes of a warlock is completely ruined... Summon the Demon King? If you can call out a wandering little devil, you will be the first to win!
...
East Valley Lumberyard, Ron's office!
At this time, Ron was quarreling fiercely with a middle-aged woman. It seemed that this woman had a good status. Just by her momentum, she seemed to be superior to Ron, the biggest leader of the East Valley logging farm... Iger floated in in this intense atmosphere.
"Ron, you must give me an explanation today. You know very well how many gold coins and war horses we have to pay for every year in the training farm. You, Ron, have no choice but to do so perfunctorily. Now my field is facing the biggest crisis. Last night, a horse in training flattered a horse that kicked a coachman, which was almost unimaginable before. In addition, the previous few times when horses bite people, or even bite similar phenomena, there are big problems here."
"My men have reported that the horses on the horse farm, like the beasts in the wild, should have been affected by something bad. You must send someone to investigate clearly!"
"One, don't be impatient. You are not unclear about my situation. Stormwind City suddenly drew three-quarters of the soldiers on my side. They lost a lot of accidents some time ago. Choi Si was like that again... What should you do if you ask me to do? Where can I find someone to investigate? In fact, I really entrusted a mage to investigate this matter, hoping that he can successfully discover some things we are interested in!"
"Master? Since the timid royal mage ran away last time, I have never heard of Donggu and other mages. Are you perfunctory? What level of mage are you talking about?"
"Uh, junior mage!"
"I'll go! Please Ron, are you a child? What can a junior mage do? This is very tricky. It can't be easily done by an unreliable mage. I can tell that you are also seeking medical treatment in a hurry and need to be treated!"
"I think he is very reliable and has completed many difficult problems in my hands. He also dug out Cui Yis!"
"What? Choi Yis...I would rather he not be dug out!" The middle-aged woman was a little discouraged when she said this...
"Actually, I don't want to dig him out either! But I happened to pick up a letter. I, who is very kind, naturally I have to hand it over to the police uncle... Oh no, Captain Ron!"
A lazy voice sounded from behind her, causing the woman to look back: "Who are you?"
"I am the unreliable little mage you just said!"
"He is Eiger, the mage I mentioned!"
Ron and Eiger replied at the same time, but the tone of the two is very different.
"Okay, Iger, don't be so stingy when you are a man. Oni didn't mean to say you behind your back. Let me formally introduce this one-star mage, Lord Eiger, and this one is the boss of the East Valley Horse Training Farm, Onidel!"
"Hello!"
"Hello! Your Excellency Eiger, please don't mind, I have no intention of offending you."
It would be fine to talk behind the scenes. When Egg stood in front of Onidel in a spider silk robe, even if this Onidel had a bad temper, he would not dare to look down on a mage at will.
"It's okay, don't get close to me, because this time, I'm here to collect debts from you two, haha!" The two looked at each other.
Ron wondered, "Tell me clearly, I don't remember when I owe you money?"
"Of course you owe it. For your Luo Shizi's investigation mission, I almost lost all my life. I owe you no, but you at least owe the life of the owner of my Donggu logging site!"
Egg took out the rubbing scroll from his arms and began to activate it with his mental power: "After reading this, do you know if you owe it?"
The magic nodes on the scroll were activated one after another, and the same magic eyeball rose into the air. Then, under the projection of the empty space in the middle, the image it had been printed at that time: a huge hexagram array, the magic lines depicted in blood were almost completed. Eiger stood directly below the image, and several corpses in the robes of Diafi's wielding on the ground, and there were some corpses used to sacrifice further away...
"Hiss..." A man and a woman took a breath...
After a while, Ron asked, "Where is this image rubbing?"
"Cheshui Lake, the island in the middle of the lake, I sensed the active dark elements. I followed this all the way here and encountered the thing you saw."
Onidel also asked in confusion: "The guys around you who are wearing mage robes are the wizards of the Brotherhood? Unlike, although they are wearing mage robes, they look carefully, but they look like..."
"Your suspicion is right. They are not mages at all, but Diafi warlocks!"
"Damn it! Has the brotherhood fallen to this point?"
"Looking at the size of this sacrifice array, although we have guessed the story roughly, I hope you can tell us in detail. After all, it is just our own guess, and it is better for the parties involved." Ron sat back on his office chair in silence.
"Okay! I followed the island all the way to the center of the lake and found a group of Diafi warlocks here, and you have seen the images. You have to be responsible for reimbursing a scroll of 10 silver coins per rubbing."
Ron nodded with a wry smile, and Eiger continued: "These group of Diafi warlocks are all in the primary warlock realm. They may not be strong, but there are obviously some people behind them. Those who are still piled up with many human and animal corpses that were captured and killed for sacrifices. Once such a huge sacrifice array is completed, the summoned must be a big guy, at least they are high-level demons, and they may even be demon kings. You know the consequences..."
"Have you destroyed this sacrifice array?"
"Of course, I spent a large bucket of asphalt! I will be reimbursed later!"
"Haha, OK, reimbursement, I'm relieved now!"
"I just counted it. There are at least 6 corpses of Diafi warlocks in your rubbing image. They are all junior warlocks... I really want to know how you did it?"
Oneidel asked curiously. In her opinion, killing six warlocks of similar strength at the same time, the strength of this little mage was a bit unfathomable, and she was a little curious.
"Secret! But all I can say is that I almost died because of this, so I asked you to collect debts, and you are not wronged!"
The actual number is 16, but Eiger knows that if he doesn't know how to restrain his edge, he may cause unnecessary trouble in vain. In his previous life, he was already past the age of always loving to show off. It would be better to take some things leisurely.
"Sorry, Lord Eiger, it's just my personal curiosity and I don't have any other intentions. Please don't mind!"
Oneidel also realized that this problem may have crossed the line. Everyone has their own secrets. If you casually explore other people's privacy, you may be curious about it and you will kill the cat.
"No, Lord Oneidel, I understand this!" Egg waved his hand casually and eliminated the grudge.
Onidel also smiled and said, "Please call me Onid! Ron, it seems that our Donggu really owe him a big favor. If the Diafi warlock succeeds this time, it will probably be more than just destruction. I wonder how many people will die?"
"That's right! I originally wanted to ask Master Eiger to help me reconnaise the source, but I didn't expect that such a great danger unexpectedly stopped. Please allow me to pay tribute to you, Master Mage!"
Ron saluted seriously: "In view of your bravery and fearless performance and your kindness to the East Valley lumberyard, on behalf of Stormwind, I will award you the Noble Knight, the East Valley Guardian Medal of Honor, and privately sponsor you 3 gold coins as a reward."
Before Iger could finish digesting, he turned to Onidel: "Old sister, don't be stingy, either, Iger has helped us a lot!"
The trainer also smiled: "It seems that I have to bleed a lot this time. Lord Eiger, please allow me to pay tribute to you on behalf of the trainer. You are the most honorable guest of our trainer. If you want to buy any mount in the future, you will be 20% off."
"This time Ron found me in advance and said that he promised you to give you a military horse. No problem, please wait for this and be sure to go to the East Valley Horse Farm. You can choose one of the junior mounts you like, and I will find the best equestrian coach who will teach you riding and hand over the bag."
"At the same time, please forgive me for being stingy. Since the horse farm has strict system restrictions on advanced mounts, I cannot use my power to give you a thousand-mile horse. This requires you to continue to accumulate merit in Stormwind City. As compensation, I will give you a full set of horse harnesses for free and a magic rein!"
"Hiss..." This time it was Ron's turn to gasp!
Chapter completed!
