Chapter 66
Since ancient times, the establishment of a stable job has been a stable job. Even though I am just a small level 1 librarian, at the lowest level in the royal city, it is still a job!
As long as players step in, they will never have to worry about having food to eat!
To hesitate for even a second regarding such a generous invitation would be disrespectful to it!!!
Xia Mo didn't even think about it and immediately raised his hand and clicked [Confirm]
A light golden badge appeared in her hand. Xia Mo lowered her head. In the middle of the badge was engraved the solemn word "library". Below the building icon was a circle of small gold-plated characters: Royal Librarian.
Xia Mo: Nice!
Now she has reputation points and an official identity, she can walk around the royal city freely from now on (bushi)
After solemnly hanging the badge on his left chest, Xia Mo raised his head and found that King Cyril's eyes had drifted to Matthew: "Why is he here? Adventurer, I hope you can explain it clearly."
Matthew's legs went limp after being swept away by this blow. "Your Majesty, spare my life!"
Xia Mo bowed calmly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Your Highness, it was my idea to secretly bring my friend into the training camp."
"Oh? Why? And how did you do it?" Seeing that there was no panic on her face, the king narrowed his eyes and leaned forward.
This means curiosity and exploration, not anger.
Xia Mo had a clue in his mind: "I was hunting in the Black Bear Forest a few days ago and picked up a bottle of invisibility potion from a mutant black bear monster. The reason why you couldn't see my friend before was because of this potion. However, the potion has a limited time limit and can only last for a maximum of 10 minutes. As for why I brought him in..."
At this point, she lowered her head and glanced at Matthew: "Because I don't want to see my friend being wronged."
Matthew, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned when he heard the sound.
"Matthew is an outstanding enchanter. Not only is he gifted, but he is also hardworking and has a good character. He deserves everyone's respect."
"However, in the competition a month and a half ago, Matthew was eliminated in the preliminary round. I don't believe that an intermediate enchanter couldn't make it to the preliminary round, so I boldly came to the training camp to try to find out the truth."
King Cyril just stared at him, as if trying to figure out the truth behind her words.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the throne for a long moment before asking, "Do you trust your enchanter friend so much?"
Of course she believed it, because it was a fact confirmed by the players! Xia Mo screamed in her heart, but her face remained calm: "Yes, I believe it."
"Well, while I'm in the mood, Matthew, go to the operating table and demonstrate for me. If it's as powerful as your friend says, I'll reward you handsomely. But if the enchantment fails," King Cyril paused as if warning, "I won't let you or your friend off easily."
Matthew quickly propped himself up and stood up: "As you command, Your Majesty."
Not daring to delay in the slightest, he limped to the operating table on his sore knees.
His eyes quickly scanned the enchanted objects, and soon he picked up one of them and started hammering it on his weapon.
The scene was silent, so quiet that it seemed as if only Matthew and the hammer in his hand were left.
Before the comparison, everyone thought that enchantment was just like what the three enchanters had demonstrated before. However, at this moment, with Matthew's extremely skilled movements for comparison, even a layman could see his professionalism.
"What a fast hand speed! So this is the real enchantment..." A soldier sighed quietly beside him.
His sentiment was immediately echoed by others: "Yeah, when I saw Clifford's slow movements before, I thought it was just a habit, but now it seems he's just unskilled!"
"Oh, how can a liar be so skilled? He's just pretending!"
"He's really shameless. I'm too embarrassed to go on stage, yet he's still pretending to be enchanted here."
"Tsk tsk, looks like the judges of the preliminary round are going to have a hard time~"
…
The soldiers whispered to each other for a while, and when they came to their senses, Matthew on the stage had already completed the enchantment!
Xia Mo couldn't help but be surprised.
She knew Matthew was talented and his efficiency had always been higher than other enchanters, but she had never imagined that his enchanting skills could be so sophisticated. Poor Matthew, how much grievance had he endured before she came to the royal city?
Although he was just an NPC, Xia Mo had unknowingly treated him as a real person, a real person with thoughts and emotions.
Seeing him standing on the operating table and waving at her excitedly, Xia Mo couldn't help but smile and mouthed: "Come on."
With her encouragement, Matthew felt less nervous. He took a deep breath and handed the enchanted product to King Cyril.
The king didn't know how to identify weapons, so he had to bring the appraiser who had just committed the crime back in: "You will identify this weapon."
The appraiser was now eager to show off his performance in order to mitigate his guilt, so he hurried forward and carefully examined the body inside and out.
After a full minute, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the weapon enchantment was very successful, and it has also significantly improved the original weapon's quality."
What? ! !
The soldiers present were quite surprised, and even the experienced sergeant couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
"The quality of weapons... can actually be improved through enchantment? So, can Mr. Matthew enchant our spears too?"
"Oh my god, Mr. Matthew is a genius!"
Listening to the murmured exclamations from the soldiers, Clifford, who had been kneeling on the ground, felt extremely guilty.
He raised his head uneasily, looked at the weapon in the appraiser's hand, then turned to look at young Matthew, his face pale and blue.
Just at this moment, the judges in charge of the preliminary rounds were brought up one by one by the king's guards.
Before King Cyril could ask a single question, one of the judges suddenly fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong! I'll tell you everything, I just ask Your Majesty to let me live!"
Xia Mo did not participate in the subsequent trial. She made an encouraging gesture to Matthew on the red carpet and quietly left.
Ding, a system prompt sounded in my ears.
[Complete Matthew's request, gain experience +2000, gold +100]
[Achieved the title "Truth Seeker"]
[Seeker of the Truth: The wearer will permanently enjoy priority enchantment rights and a 10% discount at Matthew's shop]
Wow~
Compared with the experience points and currency rewards, Xia Mo prefers the benefits brought by this title.
Two permanent rights, one saves time, the other saves money, it is simply a treasure title!
Xia Mo put it on happily, still choosing to hide. However, not long after she walked out of the training camp, she was stopped by several figures.
"Finally found you."
"What are you doing?" Several walls of people surrounded her. Xia Mo stepped back cautiously, and at the same time, her hand had already reached for the weapon.
Seeing her so alert, Heiyu Qingtian rubbed his brows and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to ask you for the dungeon strategy."
Dungeon strategy?
Xia Mo frowned slightly, then he remembered that the Black Domain Kingdom seemed to have not yet completed the level 15 difficult level.
How could a dignified and powerful guild have fallen to such a state? Xia Mo couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
Seeing the playful side of her expression, Hei Yu Qing Tian didn't get angry. He just controlled his temper and continued, "Name your price, and I promise to sell the strategy only to us."
Xia Mo had never done anything like selling guides in his previous life.
The reason is simple. She used to be in a small place like Absolute Dynasty, where she was forbidden to go out and form a wild team. How could she possibly get the first kill in the dungeon?
But this life is different. Qingyao Zhishang does not restrict her personal behavior, and she can do whatever she wants with the strategy.
So he rolled his eyes and immediately counted.
Hei Yu Qing Tian frowned: "10,000 gold?"
Xia Mo rolled his eyes: "1000!"
It's still 10,000. She wanted to sell it at this price, but the problem was that the difficult guide for level 15 was not worth so much money. Moreover, she just looked at the list of people who had passed the game, and only the fourth and fifth places in the top five were empty.
This ranking is not as valuable as the top three, and she would feel guilty about selling it for 10,000.
However, since the other party came to her and asked so sincerely, why shouldn't she, Xia Mo, make money from it? So she offered a fairly reasonable price.
Hearing her explanation, Heiyu Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
Xia Mo: "Then write it to you now?"
Black Domain Qingtian: "Well, the sooner the better."
Xia Mo received the transfer without hesitation. He found a stone block on the roadside, sat down on it, opened the system notepad, and started writing.
Fifteen minutes later, she copied the content and was about to paste it into the chat box when she suddenly remembered that she had rejected the friend's request two hours ago. She coughed twice and pretended not to know: "Add a friend?"
Heiyu Qingtian's mouth twitched and he didn't respond to her, but soon, Xia Mo received a new friend request.
After passing, she sent the strategy guide over, then left without looking back, taking the 1,000 gold.
Three hours later, Xia Mo, who was reading a book in the Imperial City Library, saw the system announcement above his head.
Congratulations to player "Black Domain Sky" for successfully clearing the Level 15 dungeon [Experimental Cage (Hard Mode)] and securing a top-four spot! Let's cheer for him!
Congratulations to player "Daydream" for successfully clearing the Level 15 dungeon [Experimental Cage (Hard Mode)] and securing a top-four ranking! Let's cheer for him!
…
Almost at the same time, an even more important piece of world news came out.
[King Cyril's thorough investigation has revealed serious fraud in the Enchanting Competition. The winners' titles and corresponding positions have been revoked! To restore fairness to the competition, the Enchanting Competition will be re-held in a week. Enchanters are encouraged to sign up and actively participate!]
Finally feeling relieved, Xia Mo looked at the message and smiled naturally.
At this moment, she suddenly received a letter via carrier pigeon.
The pretty little pigeon pecked the window glass of the library with its beak. Xia Mo hurriedly put down his book and went to open the window.
Pigeon handed the letter to her. Xia Mo unfolded it and a look of surprise rose on her brows.
"Dear Ms. Mo Se, in appreciation of your contribution to the cleansing of the Royal City's atmosphere, King Cyril grants you 10,000 gold coins as a token of gratitude. With this letter, you may claim your reward at the Royal City Post Office. Also, if you don't mind, you are welcome to attend the Enchanting Competition in a week as a special guest! Sincerely."
