Chapter 437 Bet

"It's wrong for you to say this. At most, this is just a labor fee!" The old mage said with a smile, "You are embarrassed to let me, the old man, work for you for nothing, right? You know, this kind of magic array is very big and cumbersome, and it's a waste of effort to put it on!"

"You~" Lao Xie was speechless when he heard this. Although he knew that the old mage was quarreling, he had no choice. Who said that the magic circle could be his own? Lao Xie's current value is really rich, and even the old mage was a little jealous, otherwise it would not have been like this.

So Lao Xie himself knew that if he wanted to use the old mage, he would be afraid that he would not be able to bleed. In desperation, he looked at the list of materials again and found that it was almost worth more than 100,000 gold coins. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your labor fee is too high, right? I will give it at most half!"

"Stop it!" Lao Xie originally wanted to bargain, but the old master said extremely firmly: "Nothing can be lost at all! Don't think I don't know the Lich King's family background. That guy is rampant in the continent for 2,000. He is thicker than my waist at any time. I'm just that, it's nothing! Don't cry with me and be poor!"

"This!" Lao Xie was poked into the pain point at once. Indeed, the Lich King's family's assets were all millions of gold coins, and the old mage's material was just a fancy thing.

"Oh!" Since the trick was discovered, the old mage could only sigh and then said, "Okay okay, I admit it, I will come out, I need to set up the magic circle immediately, and help Catherine use the summoning stone first!"

"Okay, give me the materials first!" the old master said immediately.

Lao Xie had no choice but to give him a lot of precious materials from the space ring. The old mage and the list were compared and found that there were a lot of them. Not only did he not show a happy expression, but he said with a depressed look: "It's bad!"

"What's wrong?" Catherine asked curiously immediately.

"Oh, I've still less conspired to the collection of the Lich King." The old mage smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I have specially selected the rare goods that I can't buy even if I have money. I originally thought that he could get at most two-thirds of it. But without expecting it, this kid took it out easily. According to his temper, if he hadn't had a lot of it in his hands, he wouldn't have surrendered so easily. Obviously, I did a fool! I should have blackmailed more!" The old mage looked regretful in his expression.

It seemed that it was the first time that Katherine had seen such a greedy old mage, so she was directly in a petrified state. However, Lao Xie, who was familiar with the old mage, did not show any unexpected expressions, but instead said proudly: "Hehe, it's too late to know now! Hurry up and prepare the magic circle!"

The old mage suddenly turned his eyes and immediately said, "Okay, I'll prepare for Catherine right away! You can come and use it in 2 hours!" As he said that, he immediately turned around and left.

The old mage agreed so quickly, which made Lao Xie feel a little puzzled and couldn't help but say to Catherine. "This old guy agreed so happily, can't he have any conspiracy?"

"See what you said, didn't he prepare now? What else can he have conspiracy?" Catherine said in confusion.

Lao Xie shook his head and said, "You don't know, this old guy is being treacherous. He will definitely not give up if he takes advantage of me this time. I have a premonition that he will probably have a backup plan to wait for me!"

"No way?" Catherine said incredibly.

"Absolutely, if you don't believe it, you will know when he gets it done!" Lao Xie said with great affirmation.

"Haha. Well, let's make a bet!" Catherine immediately smiled and said, "If the teacher doesn't continue to blackmail you, you have to agree to serve in my legion!"

"Okay!" Lao Xie nodded immediately and agreed, "If he continues to blackmail me, don't bother me about this? I don't feel like wasting all my good time on those men!" Obviously, for Lao Xie, it is the most ideal to practice and enjoy life with beautiful women. As for things like making achievements, he has no interest at all.

In fact, Catherine had already figured out Lao Xie's character. She knew that if she invited him, she would definitely be rejected. Therefore, she used this bet to invite Lao Xie out of the mountain. Now that she saw Lao Xie agreeing to the bet, Catherine was naturally very excited, and then smiled and said, "Then let it be! Haha, I believe that the teacher is a human being, he is definitely not the kind of despicable person who is more greedy, so you will lose!"

"Haha!" Lao Xie did not refute, but just kept covering his mouth and laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Katherine was so angry that she was so angry that she couldn't help but say, "Is it that funny?"

"It's funny or not, you'll know soon!" Lao Xie didn't explain. At this time, Lilith sent his food, so he sat down and ate. Of course, he did not forget to invite Catherine. Of course, Catherine would not be polite to him, and sat down and ate it elegantly.

Because she was accompanied by beautiful women, Lao Xie also paid attention to restraining his food appearance, ate in a very gentlemanly manner, and showed his aristocratic taste in front of Catherine.

Without Lao Xie's expectations, Catherine was used to Lao Xie's vulgar appearance. When she saw Lao Xie's gentlemanly appearance, she was immediately surprised. She couldn't help but say strangely: "Dear Stephen, you obviously understand aristocratic etiquette? But why did she ignore her demeanor at a large banquet and instead eat in that rude way?"

"Because I like that kind of generous feeling!" Lao Xie then shrugged and said, "But today I am accompanying you. I am afraid that it will affect your appetite, so I have to put away my temperament. Otherwise, even at the royal banquet, I would not have any concerns. I will definitely eat as much as I can!"

"Ah, then should I be moved?" Catherine couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Haha, you should really be moved!" Lao Xie said shamelessly.

"You really can't do anything!" Catherine smiled bitterly.

Next, the two of them talked some more gossip, and in a very warm atmosphere, they spent this wonderful dinner time.

After dinner, the time was not yet up, and the two of them drank tea for a while. It was not until the old mage sent Lilith to inform them that the magic circle had been set up that the two of them got up and went out and headed to the first floor underground.

The underground floor of the Magic Tower is a very large space, with many large rooms equipped with teleportation magic arrays, many of which have failed, so they were transformed into a magic array laboratory by the old mage, specifically used to lay some magic arrays that need to be used.

Under the leadership of Lilith, Lao Xie and Catherine came to one of the rooms and found that the hall, which was at least 200 square meters, had been portrayed with an extremely complex magic array.

However, the work has not been completed yet. Seven or eight monsters are undergoing the final process. They are holding special tools to carve lines on the ground, while the old mage is commanding.

However, he said it was a commander, but in fact he didn't talk much. Most of the time he spent praising the work of the monsters. You should know that these selected monsters are all talents trained by the old mages, and they have a very high understanding of the magic array. With their skills, they can even carve complex magic arrays on a narrow sword. But now they are drawing in the hall, which is obviously much less difficult. Although this magic array is several times more complicated than before, it is not too difficult for these monsters who have been trained by Lao Xie for more than ten years. Just carefully portray them according to the drawings.

After seeing this scene, Lao Xie was amused and couldn't help but complain: "So what you said is the magic circle that is 'to put hard to put on', which is made by my people?"

"Hehe!" the old master smiled and said, "Of course, are they still needed to do it?"

"Okay, you're so fierce!" Lao Xie couldn't help saying, "You are using my people to help me with work, but you're just asking me to give you money? What's this called?"

"Hehe!" The old mage said embarrassedly: "Of course, I can't say that. After all, the magic circle is provided by me. If I don't have me, can you monsters make it? What's more, all your materials are used on the magic circle, and I didn't take it!"

"Is that right?" Lao Xie then looked around on the ground and quickly saw the various materials on the ground clearly. Although there were indeed some precious materials, the sum of them was only 10,000 gold coins. Compared with the materials he gave to the old mage, it was no less than the materials he gave to the old mage. The most hateful thing was that the most expensive pieces of the materials he gave to the old mage did not appear on the magic circle at all. In other words, it was the old mage who was embezzled under the guise of the magic circle.

After discovering this situation, Lao Xie couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I said, are you bullying me and I can't recognize the materials? Even an idiot can tell how different the materials here are from the ones I gave you! There are even many high-end materials that are not useful here at all, but you are leaving me! What else do you have to say?"

The old wizard blushed, turned around and looked up, and said lightly: "Well, the weather is good today, it's quite sunny!" Looking at him, it seemed that the magic tower up to 12 floors above was transparent, so that he could see the sky directly.
