Angel looked up and saw a figure wearing an antenna helmet, sneaking around his door.
The fence in the yard was quite high, so he could only see the metal helmet with the antenna, but even so, Angel guessed the identity of the person coming.
"David?" Angel rested his chin on the fence and lazily greeted the people outside.
The person coming was none other than David. Although the brown goggles covered most of his face, his appearance and figure were unmistakable to Angel.
David took off his goggles and smiled dryly at Angel.
"Why did you come to me?" Angel was still leaning on the fence talking to David, with no intention of opening the door.
David pinched his forehead, lowered his head and muttered something vaguely.
Angel: "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?"
David raised his head and smiled flatteringly at Angel: "Angel, I want to ask you to do me a favor..."
Angel narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously: "What are you busy with?"
David was slightly embarrassed and took out a familiar object from his bag: the cross fan blades, the threaded rod, and the simple shape...it was basically the original spiral aircraft with huge flaws.
"Angel, I...I made it again, ahem...I would like to ask Toby to help me try it again." David blinked his watery eyes with an expectant look on his face.
Angel smiled slightly.
David smiled too.
The next second, Angel retracted his smile, his expression collapsed, and he waved to David: "Goodbye, no send-off."
David's expression froze, and when he saw Angel turning around and leaving, he quickly shouted:
"Angel!! Give me a chance!! Little Toby, please help me!"
Angel sat back on the bench under the mistletoe, picked up the book and continued to bask in the sun, completely ignoring David's cry: The sunshine is really nice today, but it's just a little noisy.
David screamed for a long time, his voice almost crying.
Toby was originally resting in a tree, but was awakened by David's cry of mourning. He circled in the air and then landed on Angel's shoulder.
When David saw the rightful owner appearing, his howl became even louder.
At this time, Angel also explained David's purpose to Toby. After hearing this, Toby made an "X" shape with his wings and refused without hesitation.
"Stop howling. Don't add the suffix 'little darling' first. Then, I don't believe in your alchemy skills. Finally, if Toby doesn't agree to help you, there is nothing I can do." Angel's voice was clear and clear, like summer.
The lake water, rippled by the wind, faintly reached David's ears.
"This second-generation spiral aircraft is absolutely flawless. I have also installed the steering device. There will definitely be no problems! Angel, just try it for me. I will pay you in return!! Little Toby!
, please!!" David shouted outside the door.
When Toby heard "paid reward", he suddenly paused.
Then, Toby kept gesticulating beside Angel, pointing in the direction of the attic from time to time.
"You mean, if David gives you another Echo Flower, you will agree?" Angel guessed Toby's thoughts.
Toby nodded immediately. It had also considered it. Anyway, it could fly on its own. If something went wrong with the aircraft, it wouldn't be able to fall to death, right? If you help test it, and you can get another Echo Flower, wouldn't it be able to?
One more duet?
After getting along with each other these days, Angel also knew why Toby liked the Echo Flower. Toby seemed to have a strange obsession with sounds, or in other words, with music. When he was practicing, Toby would
In the attic, I studied how to make the sound crisper and how to make the echo flower match its beautiful throat sound to achieve the effect of a duet.
Angel remembered that there was a large amount of earth music stored in the holographic tablet. After the calculation of the remaining four sides was completed, Angel decided to play it to Toby when he had time to cultivate his "aesthetic" ability.
Since Toby has agreed, Angel has no position to refuse. However, he is not as petty as Toby, and can be bribed with an echo flower...
Angel rolled his eyes and started to make plans.
Walking to the fence, David saw this and showed his pleading eyes like an abandoned puppy.
Angel sneered coldly in his heart, he didn't like being cute.
"It's not impossible to promise you, but you have to agree to my three conditions, otherwise there will be no negotiation." Angel crossed his arms across his chest, with a look of 'bye bye if you don't agree'.
David swallowed, feeling that if he agreed, he would be tricked by Angel. He actually wanted to find an ordinary bunny to test the aircraft, but the bunny's intelligence was too low and he couldn't control the steering.
!How can ordinary beasts control the steering system that he spent more than two months designing? Only a monster with a high IQ like Tobi can control it.
——To be honest, this is the first time David has seen a monster with a high IQ comparable to an adult, but with such low strength and such a small stature.
"Which three conditions are there?" David asked weakly, with an expression that if Angel set the conditions too high, he would immediately faint.
"First, I need some information about the Sky Tower." Angel started with the condition of relatively low lethality. The reason why he asked for information about the Sky Tower was actually because he coveted the witchcraft garden in the Sky Mechanical City.
I want to see if I can pass David and find a way to reach the summit easily without much trouble and fatigue.
"The information on the Sky Tower, this is no problem. In order to prepare for the participation... ahem, my friend wants to participate. I have collected some information for him, and I guarantee it is very informative!" When David heard the first condition, he thought in his heart
He breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Angel's heart was as good as his appearance.
"Second, after all, it was Toby who contributed, and you have to give Toby some reward." Toby also flew over at this time, standing on Angel's head with a high profile.
"That's no problem!" Toby knew that he would definitely bleed once today, and he only hoped that Toby's mind could be as beautiful as Angel's.
Angel pretended to exchange a few words with Toby, then turned to look at David.
"Toby has already told me that if you want to ask it for help, you must give it some echo flowers." Angel deliberately increased the quantifier of "some" and carefully observed David's expression, pondering his bottom line.
.
An Echo Flower sells for 128 contribution points, which translates into a little more than 1 magic crystal. David's monthly salary from working at Prome Alchemy Shop is 5 magic crystals, and an Echo Flower is equivalent to his 5th.
One salary.
A look of confusion flashed across David's face. He could bear it through gritted teeth if there were only two flowers, but if there were four flowers, he would have no choice.
"Three! Toby said I want three!" Angel observed David's expression for a long time and finally set the price.
"Three? That's too much. I only earn two magic crystals a month!" David said in a mournful tone. Three was indeed his minimum price, but if he could get less, it would be less, so he decided to be shameless.
Cry poor!
However, Angel ignored David's shouting at all. Instead, the old god watched David's crying scene with a show-watching expression.
In the end, David gritted his teeth and recognized three Echo Flowers. But deep down in his heart, he cursed Toby fiercely. Why did this vicious bird not learn any benefit from Angel? After all, he was still Angel.
You have the best heart!
Toby, who was completely unaware of being cursed by David, had an elated expression at this time. He originally just wanted to blackmail an Echo Flower, but he didn't expect that his little master would be so powerful. Multiplied by 3 at once, he could already predict
Here comes the scene of the Toby Concert Quartet in the future!
"Third..." Just as Angel was about to say the third condition, David quickly raised the white flag and surrendered.
David's eyes were full of tears: "Let me tell you first, my salary for this month is gone!"
Angel smiled gently at David: "Don't worry, I don't want your money."
David was soothed by that gentle smile, put away his tears, and looked at Angel tenderly.
"In the past few days, I have been preparing to be promoted to wizard apprentice."
David: "Congratulations then! However, I heard that most of the talented people of your generation have received invitations from mentors and have been taught by mentors. Judging from the time, your promotion rate is too slow.
"
Angelhun said nonchalantly: "I can't help it, my talent is too poor."
Hearing Angel's words, David seemed to see a good young man who wrapped his self-deprecating words with a strong heart and worked hard even if he was not talented enough. David instantly felt like he was himself, and he himself was just as talented.
I'm not the last person, but it's hard to make progress...
In an instant, David felt very fond of Angel.
David said excitedly: "Angel, if you have any requests, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!"
Seeing the change in David's expression, Angel was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what was going on with David. But judging from his tone, it seemed that the topic had not derailed.
Angel coughed twice and said: "I accidentally got an alchemy introductory manual, so I want to learn alchemy after being promoted to apprentice. My third condition is to purchase some alchemy from Promi Alchemy Shop.
Of course, I will pay the price for the alchemy materials, I just hope they can be given to me at the market price."
Angel's third request was originally not intended to be made in such a big way, but he just wanted to get a stable material supply chain. As a worker at Prome's alchemy shop, David must have had a long history of collecting and selling materials, so from
It is much more reliable to buy from David than to go out and look for it randomly as a layman.
After hearing Angel's third request, David was not surprised. Books on introductory alchemy are available in many places. Many newcomers to the wizarding world are full of longing for alchemy, an industry with extremely high returns.
There are not a few people who want to make money in this industry. However, the vast majority of people will gradually give up on alchemy as time goes by. Because this industry really depends on talent.
David looked at Angel, as if he saw himself back then. He also plunged into the pit of alchemy with passion, and now he can't get high or low. His fighting ability is not good, because time is all gone.
He spent it on alchemy; alchemy was not enough, because his talent was average and he had no inheritance. It took him five years in the industry to refine his first work: a spiral aircraft.
And it was still a defective product. When he thought of this, David was filled with sadness.
"That's no problem. I can even transfer some materials that Master Prome doesn't need to you at the original price." David paused, with a hint of worry on his face: "But Angel, you have to think clearly about the alchemy industry.
It’s not that easy to get started.”
Angel smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just an experiment anyway. If you don't have the talent, you can probably switch to other side jobs."
