Deal, Mr. Knight
“…Jinx?”
Cleveland was pleasantly surprised.
What was shocking was that the knowledgeable and mysterious Easterner actually knew this example.
What he was happy about was that if he knew, would there be a way to save him?
He said in a trembling voice, “Is there a solution?”
Kang De looked him up and down and shook his head.
Mr. Knight revealed a very sad expression.
Seeing him like this, Kang De was puzzled, “Is it really that accurate?”
The knight who was sitting upright and in high spirits revealed a miserable expression.
Kang De was a sincere person. His communication with the knight today was quite satisfactory. At the very least, the other party was not a brainless fool. Moreover, although the two of them did not have a friendly first contact, that matter had already passed. Kang De did not suffer any losses and even slapped the other party’s head twice. It could be said to be even.
Therefore, when he saw Knight’s expression, he could not help but comfort him.
“This matter might not be as strange as you think,” he said. “Have you heard of psychological suggestion? Once you start to believe a certain statent, as long as sothing similar happens next, you will involuntarily think of that statent. In fact, many things don’t match that statent, but you subconsciously ignored them. This is called survivor bias…”
This was indeed effective. The knight was stunned.
He pondered for a mont and suddenly revealed an expectant and conflicted expression.
He looked at Kang De and whispered, “Previously, when you were carried into the altar and awakened your supernatural power, I once said sothing. At that ti, I had the intention to give it a try. If it’s really effective, it’s a very good thing. Even if it doesn’t succeed, it’s fine. Just treat it as saying so jealous words…”
Kang De blinked. “What did you say?”
The knight hesitated for a mont before sighing, “I said that even if there’s an altar on the island, it’s only a small altar. It’s not related to any powerful ancient hero, so you won’t obtain any powerful strength…”
As for the guess about the portal in the other world, he did not ntion it at all.
What a joke. That was impossible.
“…”
“…”
The two of them looked at each other.
The knight looked at Kang De and almost cried.
He did not know what answer he wanted.
If he had to choose… he still hoped that Kang De could obtain relatively powerful strength.
After all, Kang De was chosen by the princess.
His enchantnt technique… should be a very powerful ability, right?
Kang De did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, “The person you ntioned before who enchanted that sword, is he a powerful alchemist?”
The knight did not receive an answer. Although he was disappointed, he still replied seriously, “Master Sovoz is famous in various countries for his exquisite magic skills. He’s a very famous alchemist on the continent.”
This answer was useless. Kang De directly asked, “Are there many people more capable than him?”
The knight replied, “Master Sovoz was listed in the ‘Hundred Most Influential Masters in the Field of Human Alchemy’ list published by Arcana three years ago.”
Kang De nodded. “That’s very good.”
He roughly knew the prospect of his enchantnt technique.
Although he did not have the knowledge and foundation of that alchemist, he could read the composition and directly extract the corresponding elents.
He had just thought for a mont and had already thought it through. Even if he encountered even more complicated and difficult-to-draw elent diagrams, it was not impossible. He could take an unorthodox approach and think of a way to enchant a cara to the point where it could take pictures of the elent diagrams. Then, he could access the computer and use the drawing software to read and analyze them in layers. Unfortunately, there was probably no carving machine around the district. Otherwise…
Of course, that was too far away.
If the enchantnt array diagram on the short sword was Master Sovoz’s proud work, then with a little research and practice, he could probably pretend to be a master alchemist.
Such a cheat… should be very powerful, right?
Seeing that Kang De had not spoken, the knight’s expression slowly changed.
He said pitifully, “…Mr. Kang De?”
Kang De returned to his senses and reached out to pat his shoulder. He said in a low voice, “Brother, you have to be strong. In fact, there’s nothing wrong with this ability. You have to look at everything from two aspects…”
He counted with his fingers and said, “You’re from Goethe, right? Your ability can be used to evaluate the battle situation and even use smoke bombs to confuse the enemy, such as…”
Cleveland sighed, “Soone has already thought of it. The people from the Palace Security Departnt looked for and asked to make so very ridiculous comnts. They were willing to pay , but I rejected them. There were also so frivolous nobles who found and asked to publicly say that their pursuit of a certain noble lady could not succeed. They were all chased away by …”
He shook his head and said, “As a knight, how can I lie against my conscience? Although many of my previous statents have been proven to be completely wrong, they are indeed based on my judgnt after serious consideration…”
“Lying for the country is not dishonorable.”
Kang De did not understand this thought and said, “If you reject so bluntly, it’s easy to offend people. You’ve even offended officials and second-generation heirs. It’s very troubleso, right…”
“It’s no trouble,” Cleveland said faintly. “My father is the Pri Minister of Goethe after all…”
“…”
F*ck.
It was actually the son of the Pri Minister.
D*mn, he was so handso and could even fight. He was even a second-generation official. Was there any justice in this world?
‘You’re still pretending in front of .’
The flas of class conflict in Kang De’s body burned brightly. He felt like he had three lemons in his heart. As a small citizen, he would never experience the joy of being a second-generation official.
He was unwilling to weaken his montum in front of this native official’s second generation, so he could only pretend that nothing had happened and lightly brush aside this topic, not talking about the jinx anymore.
Hmph, be conflicted for life.
He thought for a mont and said, “Commander Cleveland.”
The knight imdiately straightened. “Yes.”
Kang De pondered for a mont and slowly said, “We once had a misunderstanding, but now, we’ve expressed our willingness to coexist peacefully and decided to let go of the conflict yesterday. Do you agree?”
Cleveland nodded. “I agree.”
It was not a blood feud to begin with.
Moreover, their group carried an even more important mission. How could they fight with a mysterious Cathayan on this deserted island?
Kang De recalled the way Old Wang looked when he was talking about serious matters and said solemnly, “Then, please allow to make a bold guess. Your side was attacked by the Elven Navy and is hiding here to recuperate. I assu that everyone has suffered losses and needs to replenish all kinds of resources. Both of us have the strength and the foundation of an equal conversation.”
The knight’s expression turned cold as he nodded. “I agree.”
Kang De said, “The earliest trade between humans originated from mutual exchange. Sir Knight, are you interested in making so deals with on this lonely island?”
—Wait, why did this sound so strange?
—Forget it, don’t mind these details.
As a native, Cleveland Knight did not know how dirty the language of the Chinese Internet circle was. He nodded seriously, “In principle, I don’t object, but in the end, I have to ask the princess for her agreent.”
“It’s good to have this intention,” Kang De said. “What do you want?”
The knight replied, “Food, alcohol, dicine, fresh fruit… Mr. Kang De doesn’t seem to lack spices.”
Spices?
Kang De recalled the rows of shelves and the dozens of boxes of stock in the warehouse.
Hmm, thinking about it, the spices of the European Middle Ages seed to be very expensive. Were they lacking them too…
He smiled and said, “How will you pay?”
The knight said in a low voice, “It’ll be settled with imperial gold coins.”
Kang De said indifferently, “I’m not short of money.”
D*mn, it felt good to say that.
The knight frowned and said, “What do you want, sir?”
Kang De laughed.
Be it elves, Goethe people, won, or ships… In the end, strength was the most important. Only strength could ensure that he could live safely.
Living was the most important thing.
He pushed the box on the table. Inside was the gift Tina had chosen.
Short sword, magic robe, magic dicine, and crystal.
Apart from the three enchanted short swords, the magic robe was also extrely extraordinary. The effect was that it could fuse into the night and even greatly reduce the sound of footsteps. It was necessary for night travel—there were also two elent diagrams on it.
There were three bottles of magic dicine that could temporarily strengthen the various physical attributes of the user. One bottle strengthened their physical strength, one bottle strengthened their agility, and one bottle strengthened their mind.
As for crystals… they were a combination of strong elents. In Kang De’s eyes, they emitted an intense light. As long as he gently extracted them, he could obtain extrely pure and strong elents.
These were the things Kang De needed.
He said, “I want these. An equivalent exchange.”
The knight frowned and looked hesitant.
Kang De asked, “What’s wrong?”
At this mont, a golden light suddenly flew over from afar. The parrot descended from the sky and circled around Kang De.
The red hair on its head had completely turned erald green.
The parrot shouted, “Two Flowers! Two Flowers!”
Kang De’s expression changed and he suddenly stood up. “Where is it?”
The black beast was here.
Moreover, there were two.
Where was it?
The parrot shouted, “Caucasian! Caucasian!”
