"Of course. It's a fair trade, isn't it? "Aqua forced a smile on his face. It seemed like Gondor changed his opinion of Angele after hearing Angele's explanation.
Aqua and Gondor walked around the area for a while and explained the situation to Angele.
"Alright, let's finish the deal." Angele did want to let Aqua go. Not for anything else, just for this metal spell model and related knowledge. A dead Aqua could only get one formula. On the other hand, a living Aqua could be traded for more knowledge.
* CHI CHI * Angele moved his feet slightly and moved to the left and right. He stepped back and dodged all the attacks with ease.
Gondor sat on the side with his legs crossed, listening to Aqua's explanation.
* CHI *
"Master!" Gondor was getting impatient again. He tried to grab the test tube bottle. "Master, what's going on?"
Aguya let out a muffled groan.
"Are you … apologizing to me?" he hesitated. "What's wrong with you? I stabbed your master, didn't I? "
Angele's face twitched a bit.
Angele jumped back and stared at Aqua quietly. He looked at him quietly and didn't counterattack. Instead, he stabbed his swords into the grass.
"Plus, I got the formula of the Nightmare Potion. That's a good deal." He smiled. Of course, in exchange, he also gave Aqua a few high-quality Magical Stones, which was equivalent to a few hundred low-quality Magical Stones. It was a huge fortune. Although it was not as valuable as the formula of the Nightmare Potion, it was a deal that both sides were satisfied with.
Three hours later …
"It's fine." Angele stood up from the bushes and smiled. "Can you give me the formula now? Also, the spell model and some other information. I'm interested in the Metal Elemental spell. It'll be even better if I can use it on my swordsmanship. "
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Master Angele didn't stab my organs and vital organs. It's just a small wound. I'll be fine after I stop the bleeding. "Aqua forced a smile.
It was noon. The sunlight was shining on his body, but Angele could barely feel the warmth.
* BAM *
He took out a small green test tube bottle from his pouch. He threw it over.
Angele wiped the grass off his clothes.
"Thank you, Master Angele. Thank you for the ointment. I was wrong about you. "Gondor lowered his head and apologized to Angele.
Aqua took a sip of the water that his disciple had brought over and continued to explain.
"Of course." Angele smiled and nodded.
"I'm interested." Angele put his right hand on the hilt of his sword and tightened his grip.
Gondor's body suddenly froze. He swung his saber horizontally.
"Master Angele, sorry to keep you waiting." Aqua stood up with difficulty.
"Zero, has the Metal Spell System been completed?" he asked in his heart.
Chi!!
"The most difficult thing about metal spells is the complexity of the model. It would take a long time. Moreover, it consumes a lot of magic power … "
Angele was not interested in the master and the disciple. He started checking the surroundings to see if there were any new plants that he missed.
Angele was a bit surprised.
"You could say that, but it's a pity that this system requires a Sorcerer's physique to learn it. Also, it takes a long time to prepare. It's not very practical. Since its birth, there have never been any outstanding figures. Now, they are almost facing extinction. "Aqua sighed, and a desolate expression appeared on his face.
Angele nodded. "So, close combat is the best way to learn metal spells?"
He looked at the crazed Gondor in front of him.
Angele walked through the forest for about ten minutes and saw the main road of Emma City through the gaps between the trees. Carriages were passing by, and some pedestrians were carrying boxes on their backs.
Angele slowly walked out of the forest.
* CHI *
"Motherfucker!!" He really wanted to curse out loud. However, he knew that it was not the right time to say something like that.
"I want to be like you. I want to be like you." Gondor looked at Angele with a sincere expression on his face.
'What if Angele tries to kill me after we finish the deal …' He was a bit worried.
"My Metal Magic mainly came from a ruin. About 100 years ago, I was lucky enough to escape from the ruin. I was hired as a member of a mercenary team. My employer was a wizard apprentice who explored the ruin. Unfortunately, I was the only one who survived. After I escaped from the ruin, I obtained some knowledge from that wizard apprentice. Thanks to my talent and the information I obtained from the ruin, I became what I am now. "
The scimitar drew a bright scar in the air, but it missed and hit the ground, causing grass to splatter everywhere.
"Master, don't worry. Master Angele is a strong wizard, and he always keeps his word. He's willing to sacrifice his enemies for knowledge. We should trust him, "Gondor said with a smile on his face. He was not as crazy as before, and it felt like he was a completely different person.
'I didn't expect Aqua to be so knowledgeable. I didn't expect a wandering wizard apprentice to be so knowledgeable. This world is full of hidden talents. "A smile appeared on Angele's face.
Angele did not care about the promise he made with Kelly. He was not a person who would keep promises. The only thing he cared about was his own interests. He would side with whichever side was more in line with his interests. Aqua's interests also included his long-term interests.
Aqua started explaining to Angele slowly.
* PA * The old man caught the test tube and looked at it. He removed the stopper and sniffed it.
Walking out of the forest, he blended into the crowd of people entering the city. He slowly walked along the road.
"Alright, give me the potion formula. I'm not interested in your conflict with Kelly's family, "Angele said in a light tone.
The old man, Aqua, stood up with difficulty with Gondor's help. He had a bitter smile on his face.
Green smoke rose into the air.
On the other hand, his teacher, Aqua, was looking at his student encouragingly.
He turned his head around and looked at Gondor. Aqua and Gondor were still standing there, watching him leave.
Angele walked down the hill and headed to Emma City.
Aqua was old, and he did not want to trade with Angele so soon.
'Metal System completed. Completion rate: 13%. One model has been acquired. Potential for improvement: 54%. '
Angele raised his head and looked at the sky. He walked to Aqua and sat down on the grass with his legs crossed. They started talking to each other.
"Of course. I was going to kill you first." Angele shrugged. "But I have to admit that I was impressed by what you just said."
The herb gatherers and the passersby glanced at him for a second and then ignored him.
A middle-aged man with a herb basket on his back was walking around the forest with a small hoe in his hand.
For a moment, Angele felt that the master and disciple in front of him were so dazzling that he could barely open his eyes.
"I've already told you about the difficulties. Since you insist, let's trade. I'll provide you with the complete metal spell model and basic knowledge as the price for leaving Kelly's family. "Aqua smiled.
"If I had said it any slower, I would have lost this life of mine. You're right. "
"I'm not as noble as you think …" Angele wanted to argue with Gondor. However, he felt goosebumps all over his body when he saw the sincere smile on Gondor's face.
"Alright, let's do the trade first." Angele interrupted Gondor. "Can we start now, Aqua?"
Angele was not wearing the school's gray robe. He looked like a mercenary who was hunting alone.
For the first time, Angele understood the meaning of the word 'rare'.
"I understand. It's not wrong for you to do that. You let my teacher go even though we are enemies. Compared to me, your pursuit of knowledge is so much broader, "Gondor said with sincerity.
Gondor raised his head and shook his head.
Potential for improvement was a number Angele set when he modified the spell model. It was used to determine how much room a spell model could be improved. 0 meant that the chip could not improve it at the current stage. 100 meant that it could be improved continuously. Every time Angele improved the spell model, the number would decrease. The smaller the number, the more difficult it would be to modify the spell model. The more basic the spell model was, the higher the number would be.
One slash after another, Gondor went berserk. He kept slashing with his blade.
"Enough!" Another voice came from behind Gondor. "I'm not dead yet!"
Angele's appearance did not attract too much attention from the others.
"Metal Magic is a small branch of ancient magic, a very unorthodox branch. It's not affected by one's body type. It's similar to the fact that most people have water element. The human body contains water and metal elements. Wizards categorized all substances that had reached a certain level of hardness into metal spells. Originally, this branch was only used for forging and construction. However, 1500 years ago, a sorcerer-apprentice successfully sorted out this system and gained a certain amount of combat power. However, it's still not strong enough. Controlling metal spells to attack from a distance consumes a lot of mentality and mana. '
Angele took one step back and dodged the scimitar by several centimeters.
'Ointment? That's good! ' Angele asked Gondor to lean against a tree. He then tore off the shirt covering the wound on his upper body. He applied the ointment on his hand and applied it to the wound.
It did not look like he was fighting. It looked more like he was playing a game.
