Richard spoke up, looked at Bata and said: "Wizard Bata, the thing is like this. I didn't mean not to give you and the others a chance to take action, but I didn't think it was necessary - myself and the soldiers led by Wulong, It's enough to conquer the city. This is not because I want to take credit. If you want, I can give all the credit and rewards to you after this battle is over.
And if you really want to take action and do something, I will not stop you. On the contrary, I will be very happy. Actually, I have something right now that I would like your help with.
Seeing that there were no soldiers over there, I asked them to help me dig something. However, based on their ability, the progress was very slow. It was difficult to solve the problem when encountering rocks, hard ground, etc. If, Wizard Bata, you are willing to help the soldiers over there, I can use this ring in my hand as a reward. I hope you won't dislike it. "
Bata frowned deeply as he listened to Richard's words, slightly displeased. At the end, he even looked a little annoyed. He looked at Richard with wide eyes and said, "Wizard Richard, I feel like you are insulting me. I'm a wizard, so I don't care if I don't take action to conquer the city. Now you're still trying to seduce me with a magic item and make me work for you? Do you want me to do some inexplicable excavation work for you like those soldiers
Although, in the gathering place, Master Eva gave me the order to cooperate with you. But this, ahem, is beyond the pale. I can't be bribed with just a magic item. You underestimate me, Wizard Richard! "
After hearing Bata's words, Richard raised his eyebrows without getting angry.
He knew that Bata had a hot temper, and it was completely reasonable to have such a reaction.
With a slight smile, Richard said: "Wizard Bata, there may be one thing I haven't explained clearly. That is, the ring on my hand is not an ordinary magic prop. In the previous battles, I saw It seems that you specialize in energy-shaping earth-type spells, right?"
"Yes, so what?"
"This ring is a magic prop specially designed to strengthen earth spells. I carefully selected it for you. If I calculated correctly, it can allow you to expand the casting range and improve the spell casting ability when you release a ring of earth spells. Accuracy, reduced casting time, combined can increase your combat effectiveness by at least 30%."
"Huh?" Bata, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Richard and asked, "How much? How much combat power will be increased??"
"Thirty percent." Richard looked serious, not like he was joking.
"you sure?"
"It's definitely 30%." Richard said.
"No." Bata shook his head, "What I'm asking is, if you are sure that I will help the soldiers over there, will you give me this ring? Are you giving it to me, not borrowing it?"
"Equally sure."
"Okay then." Bata nodded, first smiled at Richard, then naturally took the ring from Richard's hand and put it on his finger. He glanced at the three Nulls in the distance and walked towards the soldiers further away without saying a word.
Several soldiers were holding shovels and digging hard into the ground, trying to make the hard ground softer for easier digging.
Bata walked up to these soldiers and waved away. Saying "Why are you taking so much trouble?", he bent down and put his hand on the ground.
The effect of the earth magic spell, with the increase of the new ring, was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, a large area of the ground quickly softened, as if it had been soaked by rain. Several soldiers who were too close did not react. Suddenly, their feet sank into the fluffy soil. They were startled and screamed "ah".
Bata glared at the fussing soldiers and said nothing. He walked further away and began to move stones, level the ground, and continuously cast spells to assist the soldiers in digging. The progress of earthwork operations has been significantly improved.
The three of them, Noel, stared blankly, dumbfounded.
The ring was small and they were far away, so they didn't see it at all. Therefore, in their eyes, Bata walked towards Richard dissatisfied, and after a few exchanges with Richard, he became even more dissatisfied. After that... he turned around and went to dig soil obediently, looking more diligent than the soldiers.
This... what's going on
The world is a little crazy.
The three of them communicated for a moment. Noel took a deep breath and walked towards Richard.
Walking up to Richard, he said solemnly: "Wizard Richard, I don't know what you said to Wizard Bata, and I don't want to know. Now, I just want to make it clear to you that Bata can only represent himself. , does not represent all of us.
So even if you convince Bata, you can't change our minds. I have to make it clear to you that it was a bit excessive for you to ignore us today and conquer Auburn alone. We want to show off our abilities and train ourselves in war, so you do this... "
Richard listened to Noel's words for a while, interrupted, and asked: "Wizard Noel, you seem to be very good at plasticizing wood-like spells, right?"
"Huh?" Noel was confused, and then he saw Richard flipping his hand, and there was an emerald green pendant in his palm, and he was a little dazed, "What are you..."
"Wizard Noel, here's the thing. I didn't mean not to give you a chance to take action, but..." Richard spoke calmly and began to repeat what he had said to the wizard Bata.
After speaking for a long time, he did not forget to explain: "By the way, the spell pendant in my hand is specially designed to increase the effect of wood spells... Generally speaking, it can increase your strength by 20% to 40%. The specific amount depends on your performance..."
Noel listened to Richard's words and looked at the pendant in Richard's hand, his eyes a little straight. After a moment, his reaction was exactly the same as Bata's: he smiled at Richard, took the pendant naturally, and walked towards the soldiers at work.
The progress of earthmoving operations has improved again.
Witch Jenny's lips tightened. She saw neither the ring nor the pendant, so she was a little puzzled by the behavior of Bata and Noel. Finally, he couldn't help but take a step forward and walked up to Richard.
"Wizard Richard, you..."
This time, before the other party could say anything, Richard interrupted and asked: "Wizard Jenny, you are proficient in plastic water-based spells, right?"
"Ah, yes, what's the problem?"
"Of course there is no problem." Richard shook his head and began to retell it for the third time, "But... Wizard Jenny, this is what happened..."
While talking, he took out a dark blue bracelet.
Ten seconds later, Jenny took the bracelet from Richard's hand, smiled slightly, and walked towards Bata and Noel.
The progress of earthmoving operations has been greatly improved.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
There were footsteps, and the last person, wizard Teddy, came over.
In fact, Teddy had already guessed what was going on. He looked at Richard and said, "You bribed them and asked them to help you dig the soil, just like what I did for you in Deep Blue Castle before? Hey, by the way, here It doesn’t seem to be very far from Deep Blue Castle.”
Richard glanced at Teddy. He didn't want to repeat the same words for the fourth time for someone who knew him well. Throwing a bracelet to the other party, he said directly: "Take your things and go to work."
"It turns out that the price you gave is one magic item for each person. You are quite willing to give it up." Teddy took the bracelet and did not leave immediately. Instead, he tried to bargain, "But to be honest, with our friendship, how can we give two A magic prop is appropriate, right?”
"Huh?" Richard looked at Teddy seriously, "Are you serious?"
"Uh, forget it! I'm going to work!" Teddy was instantly frightened, lowered his head and walked away.
The progress of earthwork operations has reached its highest level.
