Chapter 36
The bottle brought to Fantasy Dreamland was an ordinary size. Although the wind chime filled it with it, Zhu Jue drank a lot along the way. Therefore, Atal only drank two glasses, and the moonlight wine in the bottle could make a thin sound.
Mosuo pointed at the ivory white wooden table in front of him. Zhu Jue's eyes were built on the high ground in the highlands of Wusau Town. The interior of the tower was elegant and ancient. The marble bricks on the floor were printed with the light of candles, and the ivy extending outside the window frame conveyed green vitality.
Zhu Jue is waiting for this strange church elder to have enough wine and eat...
Well, I glanced at the old man and saw that he was still tilting his neck to see if his bottle could have any excess moonlight wine left. Zhu Jue thought it was unlikely that he wanted to make him drunk enough.
"My Excellency Atal, this is the gem I just got from it... from your friend. What is its use?"
While feeling sorry for my moonlight wine, I wish I could always get some rewards.
His wine is not like the stream on the roadside, and he drinks it as soon as he says.
"That's a gem produced in the depths of Nas Canyon. That canyon is extraordinary. There are many monsters living in it. As for the effect, hiccup~~"
A hiccup that was extremely unimportant brought it up to hear a clear Zhujue and went back to fuck him again. Atal scratched his thigh and continued,
"The gem is not for you, it is for your cat...oh, what is it doing!"
It was probably because of Zhu Jue's depression. Feng Ling, who was strolling beside him, found the black cat that brought them here at some point. Now the latter was pressed to the ground by Feng Ling and struggled constantly. Unfortunately, its power was obviously worse than Feng Ling. Under the gaze of Atal and Zhu Jue, he stopped moving after two minutes, and collapsed on the ground and looked at Zhu Jue and Atal with resentful eyes.
It looks like you can't resist and you're ready to enjoy it.
"Interesting, hahaha~ This is the first time I have seen him look so frustrated. Young man, I like you, and my cat is more optimistic. Now call it over, I'll get something, and then teach you how to use gems."
Atal seemed very happy about the fact that his friend was bullied. He laughed and got up to get a candlestick and a glass of water from where he got it.
Fengling had returned to Zhu Jue's side at this time, lying in his arms and staring at Atal's movements.
"Give me the gem."
He reached out and took the gem over. Atal held it with two silver chopsticks and roasted it on the candle, and said,
"The gems in the Nas Valley are generally covered with a special layer of horny skin, which cannot be seen by the naked eye. If you want to use them, you have to burn them first, soak them in water or hold them in your mouth. As a reward for giving me the moonlight wine you just drank, I decided to use divine water to strengthen the gems... Sorry, I'm used to it, and it will be better to drink them with clean water."
"Your habits are quite unique."
If you say that clean water is a divine water, will this guy be a charlatan?
But his knowledge seems to be profound, and even knows the usage of this gem, he is obviously not an ordinary person.
Zhu Jue thought so in his heart, but his face was silent.
"Even if you don't show your voice, I know what you are thinking. I know that the elder of the former tower has bad character and likes to cheat, but you can't preconceived thought that I am also that kind of person because of this. That's an unfounded guess. I don't like that..."
Atal suddenly glanced at Zhu Jue, then sighed with some sadness.
"Then are you?"
Zhu Jue put a small dried fish in his mouth and chewed it, looking at Atal with a strange look.
"Of course...Oh, I'm going to have a meal. The prayer voucher I sent before was included by a fool. I don't have time to make it recently. I'm very tired of praying for people. I really want someone to come to my door to send money and moonlight wine to me. Hiccup~"
Faced with this direct question, Atal answered "confidence".
This ideal can be said to be quite simple.
Zhu Jue sneaked the prayer coupon he had just found back into his pocket, thinking that Mr. Wild Boar was indeed as mentally retarded as he looked on the surface.
Meow ~
The black cat with the claws of the wind chime jumped onto the window frame on the second floor of the tower and shouted softly.
"Hurry, help me hide all these things, so do you, just find a place to hide, and you are here to send money."
The Great Elder, who heard the sound, seemed to have discovered something, threw the baked gem into a cup filled with water, patted Zhu Jue's shoulder and asked him to hide quickly.
He hurriedly put all the things away and put them behind a pillar on the inside of the tower. Zhu Jue took advantage of the scavenger to easily climb up the beam on the window frame where the black cat was just now. This was a place where the moonlight could not shine.
With the candlelight below, Zhu Jue watched Elder Atal tidy up his clothes as quickly as possible, and pulled out from under the table just now that he had not been on tiptoe and rolled back and forth to play with his "staff" as if he had been standing on tiptoe. He trotted to the door, looked at the black cat on the window frame, and immediately turned around and opened the door after it called again.
Zhu Jue finally understood why this guy could discover himself at the first time...
However, when Zhu Jue saw the money sender who came to visit the great elder Atal, he subconsciously widened his eyes.
Who else can be there?
gentleman!
"Great Elder Atal, are you doing well recently?"
Compared to the state when he was with Zhu Jue and his group, facing Atal at this time, the gentleman's posture was very low. He smiled and lifted up the things he was holding in his hand, and then said,
"This is the moonlight wine I just obtained from the Mysterious Forest. I knew you like to drink this, so I asked someone to find some, and these are some dishes to serve. I hope you can be satisfied."
A whole bottle of moonlight wine and a specially made pumpkin pie!
In addition, the gentleman actually took out a heavy purse and handed it to Atal's hand.
Giving money, moonlight wine, and pumpkin pie, in Zhujue's opinion, the gentleman is simply Santa Claus of the Great Elder Atal.
"Haha, thank you for your donation."
Faced with the generosity of the gentleman, Atal's attitude was unexpectedly a little bit salty or uneven, or he deliberately expressed his "unworldly fireworks". After taking the things over, he stopped talking.
"About the Nackett Codex...you promised to hand it over to me this time."
The gift was presented, and the gentleman was naturally not ready to give it for free, and said in a deep voice.
"I'm really sorry. I'm doing excerpts of the manuscript recently. You know that this ancient book is the only one. Although I promised it to you, I also need to leave a copy here, so you need to wait for a while."
"What? Copy?"
The gentleman who learned of this news turned dark almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and could only try to keep his voice steady,
"I donated so much to you, but you are going to give me a copy?"
"No, I said, what I gave you is the original, what I left is the copy."
“Is there any difference?”
The gentleman who had been bowing to express humility did not know when he would straighten his waist again, and he no longer had the kindness he had just said.
He never expected that he would have worked hard for so long, but this was the consequence.
Scarcity makes things valuable!
If "Naket's Manuscript" is a book that can be copied or copied at will, the gentleman thought that so many things he had paid before were not much better than being wasted, that was unacceptable.
“If you feel there is no difference, I can give you a copy.”
Atal seemed to have not realized it at all, and his tone was still calm.
"Is that really a good idea... Lord Great Elder, I don't want the "Naket Codex". Now I just want to see it, what do you think?"
The gentleman narrowed his eyes and his right hand holding the cane suddenly tightened.
"How can that be done? The Nackett Codex is a treasure left by the gods. It's not something you can read. Sir Nelson, please come back. When I finish the excerpt of the codex, I will naturally hand it to your hands."
At this time, Atal also noticed something was wrong, put his hands on the left and right doors and wanted to see off the guests.
“What if I must see it today?”
The gentleman's tone became colder and harder, his thumb hooked on the bird-shaped beak, and his index finger and middle finger were wooden sticks at the lower end.
The moon in the night sky is covered by dark clouds at this time.
A sudden cool breeze rolled from a distance.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
