The Gray Merchant also knew the reason for their such attitude, and he regretted it now. After the formal wizard duel, the apprentice's duel should have been abandoned, so that it would not have ended up like this.
Bai Shang was right. The situation shown by the other side was not malicious; they were clearly benefited, but the evil woman pushed Ermi and others to the opposite side because of her selfishness, so that she could be said to a certain extent.
, this can be regarded as repaying kindness with hatred.
Because of this, facing the ridicule from Angel and others, the gray merchant could only pretend not to see it.
No one on Angel's side spoke. He stared at the gray merchant with indifferent eyes, waiting for him to speak first.
Gray Shang sighed softly in his heart, then took out a space soft bag from his arms and handed it to Vai.
Vai didn't answer, but looked at the gray merchant in confusion: "This is..."
"I apologize." Gray Shang said with a sincere expression, full of apology: "The demon elephant used the Ancient Eyes unscrupulously in order to win. As a mentor, this is a problem with my teachings. I am really ashamed, so I can only give him a small gift.
deliver."
"I don't understand that a simple apology is not enough. Therefore, I brought the demon elephant here to admit his mistake this time. No matter what he is asked to do, as long as it can eliminate the resentment, even if he is buried here, we will accept it calmly."
After speaking, the gray merchant caught the demon elephant from behind, pressed his head, and motioned for him to apologize to Vai.
The demon elephant also apologized obediently. Although his reaction was still a little slow, it was obviously much better than before.
Looking at the behavior of the gray merchant and the demon elephant, Vai frowned. He didn't know how to deal with the current situation. He subconsciously wanted to ask the Black Earl for advice, but when he looked back, he realized that neither the Black Earl nor the
Angel retreated to the side of the wise master, seeming to be whispering something, not paying attention to the situation here at all.
On the other hand, Doakes kept giving Vai looks, looking eager to try.
Vai knew Doakes very well. One look at Doakes's eyes and he knew that he was hinting to him to take the disposable space capsule first and see if there was anything good inside.
This is the character of Doakes. Although he would not abandon his principles for the sake of profit, it is common for him to be greedy for money.
Vai didn't pay attention to Doakes' hint. Compared with these so-called benefits, he was more concerned about how to deal with the current situation.
Neither his own master nor Master Chao Dimension is around, and Doakes is another unreliable guy...
When Vai hesitated, Kael's voice came from the psychic belt.
"When the adults left just now, they said to let you make your own decision. No matter what decision you make, they will support it."
Vai was stunned for a moment: "Did my master say that?"
Kael: "No, Lord Black Earl left without saying anything."
Then it was Master Chao Dimension who said this. The Black Earl did not deny it in the psychic belt, so it can basically be regarded as the Black Earl’s meaning.
In other words, it is now up to him to decide how to deal with the demon elephant?
Thinking of this, Vai felt a little strange and confused.
Although the gray merchant said that even if the demon elephant was buried here, he would not complain. But who knows how much truth there is in it? Maybe if he handles it a little properly, it will be equivalent to completely falling out with the traveling merchant organization.
Although there is nothing wrong with falling out, the Noah family is not afraid of the traveling merchant organization at all, let alone the Bilos family behind them. However, this is the first time for Vai to deal with such matters involving "foreign" relations by himself. He hopes that he can
Find a balance point.
Vai didn't ponder for a long time, because the gray merchant had already handed over his hand for a while, and it would be a little awkward in a few seconds.
The Gray Merchant is an official wizard after all, and Vai doesn't think he's qualified to take Joe in front of him.
In the end, Vai accepted the space soft bag handed over by the gray merchant.
Upon seeing this, Gray Merchant's expression relaxed slightly, but he hadn't relaxed for long before he saw that Vai didn't even look at it, and directly handed the space soft bag to Doakes.
Instead, Doakes was playing with the space capsule.
Was it transferred to the Red Sword Wizard on the spot? Or was it asked to help him check what was in the space soft bag?
If it's the former, it would actually be a bit rude, even rude, to forward it to Doakes in front of the gray merchant. If it's the latter... it's barely acceptable.
When the gray merchant was thinking about Vai's thoughts, Vai said: "Actually, I don't want to accept the so-called apology. It's not that I'm snubbing the gray merchant, but I don't think what the demon elephant did is so wrong. At least, in this case,
During the duel, he did not violate the rules."
"You don't think it's against the rules, so why don't you..." Fen Mo's voice came from the side, but before Fen Mo could finish her words, Hui Shang silenced her with a cold face.
If it were other occasions, Fen Mo would have just said a few words, but in the current situation, they were clearly in the wrong. The rules of dueling are the rules of dueling, but the tacit understanding of the duel and the morality during the duel are another matter. In this regard,
They obviously did something wrong.
The evil woman didn't say anything, which meant that she knew she was in the wrong; Fen Mo was muttering beside her, which was why the Gray Merchant Guild suddenly had a cold face.
"Of course I understand what Miss Fen Mo said." Vai said: "I accept this apology and I will explain it later. Before that, I wonder if I can ask the gray merchant to answer a question for me?
"
Gray merchant: "Please tell me."
Vai's expression became solemn at this moment: "In the previous duel, the question that concerned me most...why was it the Eye of Gu'ao?"
Angel also lent Kael some extraneous methods, but they were all controllable and defensive methods. These methods were more for winning the game, rather than killing people.
The Eye of Gu'ao is just the opposite. The demon elephant cannot control it at all, and its damage is extremely terrifying. Is it here to win or to kill?
You must know that when Vai sacrifices his talent, it is equivalent to forcing his blood to reach its peak. At this time, his defense can at least withstand the full blow of the official wizard. However, Vai still did not resist the death light of Guao's Eye, but just barely
A small life was saved.
Such a terrifying attack method is given to the demon elephant. If it is explained that it is "solely to win", who will believe it?
After Vai asked this question, Gray Merchant and others looked at each other, but fell into silence.
After a long while, the gray merchant's side was still silent, and no one gave an answer.
At this time, Vai spoke again, this time looking at Fen Mo: "The reason why I accepted this apology is because I know that you are helpless and embarrassed to explain the truth of this matter. In this case,
Then there is no need to explain, this so-called apology can be regarded as 'hush money'."
After a pause, in the gray merchant's complicated eyes, Vai continued: "I have received hush money, which means that I will not ask this question again... but it does not mean that I will forget this matter."
Vai looked at the demon elephant: "We will definitely meet again. Next time, I hope we can have a fair duel."
Vai knew that this matter had little to do with the Demon Elephant, but after all, it was the Ancient Eyes performed by the Demon Elephant. Even if he wanted to regain his position, he would start with the Demon Elephant.
Immediately afterwards, Vai looked at...the evil woman.
"As for the true owner of the Ancient Eyes, he must give me an explanation. If he doesn't give it now, I will personally ask for it in the future."
Even though Vai didn't name her, he knew from the fact that he kept staring at the evil woman that he had determined that the evil woman was the true owner of the Eyes of Gu'ao.
The evil woman originally wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hui Shang's look. In the end, the evil woman just stared at Vai with a faint look in her eyes, with a hint of provocation in her eyes, as if she was saying to Vai: I'm always with you.
Vai just sneered and said nothing more.
This matter has come to an end for the time being.
In Doakes' view, Vai's way of handling the situation was actually a bit "motivated".
The Black Earl and Angel are both here, and they have expressed their support for all the decisions he made, which means that even if they start a war with the Gray Merchant and leave them here completely, the Black Earl and Angel will support him.
It’s not that Vai didn’t understand this, but he chose a more convoluted way——
He accepted the apology, but not the apology. He would use his own way to seek "justice" from the devil and the evil woman.
This is a bit like the plot in the most popular play in the Principality of Laxum - "The Revenge of the Princess". To sum up, it is: Don't bully the young.
Teenagers are a very easy to hold grudges and impulsive group. If you bully teenagers now, you are relying on your adult advantage. But teenagers will always grow up, and time will also urge you to grow old. When the time comes, the causes you have planted may become
Your fatal consequences.
If this scene is placed in a drama, it would be a classic plot of growth and revenge. The audience buys into this type of plot the most.
However, there is a gap between reality and drama.
In particular, there is a huge gap between the reality of the wizarding world and the scenes in artistic creation.
In the play, after more than ten years, the princess can seek revenge against the old king; but in the wizarding world, more than ten years is just a blink of an eye, and it is difficult to bridge the gap.
Of course, Angel, who became a wizard within a few years, is an exception.
Putting aside the digression, Doakes personally felt that Vai's handling of Aung Sang was a bit immature. However, Doakes did not dislike this way of handling it.
Because in Vai, he saw the long-lost "vigorous sunrise".
In the past few decades, Vai was obviously very young, but he had made himself like a dying old man, lazy in the spring, at home in the summer, tired in the autumn, and in bed in the winter. Doakes said it many times, and in the end
It's become a thing of the past.
Now, Doakes finally sees the sunset and the rising sun. Even if Vai's way of dealing with it is too impulsive and impulsive, what's the problem?
Isn’t it true that youth always goes hand in hand with spirit?
…
After Vai expressed his attitude, he stopped saying anything and completely ignored Gray Merchant and others. Instead, he communicated with Doakes about the contents of the space soft bag in the mind series.
But the gray merchant sighed softly, knowing that it was already difficult to continue to turn around, so... let's do this.
At least, from the outside, it seems that Vai has no intention of using the power of the Noah family to suppress others.
If Vai really chooses to seek justice in his own way...then let the future be left to the future.
The gray merchant shook his head and turned to leave.
Because of the evil woman's self-inflicted behavior during the previous duel, Gray Merchant was already embarrassed to ask about the lens and memory. Now, Vai has also shown obvious hostility and opposition. If he continues to ask, he will probably be asking for it.
It was so humiliating that he simply left.
The worst thing is, I don’t want that memory anymore.
However, just when the gray merchant was about to follow the passage opened by the wise master and choose to leave here, the voice of the wizard "Elmi" suddenly came to his ears.
"What, you don't want your memory anymore?"
The gray merchant paused, his eyes shining slightly, but soon his eyes dimmed again, and he said bitterly: "I really don't have the face to discuss a deal with you anymore."
Angel walked over slowly and stood in front of the gray merchant.
"A transaction is a transaction and has nothing to do with friendship. Even if you are my enemy, as long as the deal has been agreed upon, I will continue to trade. What's more, you are not my enemy."
Angel's words rekindled the bright color in the gray merchant's gloomy expression.
"I wonder what kind of deal you want, Mr. Ermi?" The gray merchant paused, and then added: "The favor I mentioned before is considered as my extra contribution, and also as compensation for our irrationality in this duel.
Apologize. This favor is not included in this transaction."
Angel: "We will discuss the details of the transaction later."
"After?" the gray merchant asked doubtfully.
Angel: "Due to some special reasons, I can't take out your memory in the lens now. However, when we leave the underground waterway, the time should be enough. Therefore, the transaction can only be done when we leave."
.”
Angel didn't mean to stall for time.
If you want to take out the memory in the lens, you must follow the principle of "transfer from the inside and connection from the outside". Angel has achieved the condition of "connection from the outside", so the only condition left is "delivery from the inside".
.
According to the wise master, the One-Eyed Dabao can help them hand over the memories of Gray Shang, but everything must be done after they have passed the level of Younu.
This can be regarded as Dumu Dabao's little plan to remind Angel and others that Younu is the key, and it is best not to hurt Younu.
Therefore, even if Angel wants to get the memory, he can only wait until he has passed the level of Younu. And the gray merchant and others must leave at this time, so the time and place they can trade can only be waited until Angel
After leaving the underground waterway.
Although the gray merchant didn't know the reason, there was no difference between earlier and later, so he nodded and agreed without thinking too much.
As soon as Angel agreed, he heard an awkward female voice.
"Are you willing to trade anything?"
Angel turned to look at the source of the sound. The person speaking... was none other than the evil woman.
Angel's eyes flashed with indifference: "What do you want to trade?"
Evil Woman: "I just saw...the traveler gave you the clothes made of the skin of Simos. Is that your thing? Can you make a deal with me?"
