Chapter 92 Earth Crown, a win-win situation for both parties (Second update, please subscribe!)
Lu Feng didn't know what Wizard Zhuangni was thinking, but he could clearly feel his closeness from the tone of Wizard Zhuangni's voice.
Touching his chin, Lu Feng's eyes lit up.
Judging from his attitude, there might be hope for borrowing the treasure.
After exchanging pleasantries with Wizard Johnny for a while and discussing some details of the potion cooperation, Lu Feng saw that the atmosphere between the two sides was very lively, so he tactfully proposed the idea of borrowing treasures to Wizard Johnny.
Suddenly,
After hearing Lu Feng's words, Wizard Johnny on the other side of the communication array fell silent.
Wizard Johnny looked at Lu Feng with his somewhat cloudy eyes. From Lu Feng's eyes, Wizard Johnny saw only seriousness.
After hesitating for a while, Wizard Johnny sighed, broke the silence between the two sides, and said:
"Rester, I don't know where you heard this news from. Indeed, my Lawrence family does have such a first-level wizard secret treasure. It's just that..."
Hearing the tangled words of Wizard Johnny, Lu Feng's mind moved, and he said with a smile:
"Wizard Johnny, I have a close relationship with the Lawrence family now! If you have any difficulties with this first-level wizard secret treasure, just tell me. If I can afford the price, I hope to borrow this protective secret treasure from the Lawrence family! It won't take long, just a few days!"
Although he was smiling, Lu Feng's tone was firm and he had the confidence that he would win.
Since Wizard Johnny has personally admitted that the Lawrence family has a first-level wizard's secret treasure, it means that he has already intended to borrow the wizard's secret treasure.
At this time, Lu Feng needs to show some sincerity.
A first-level wizard's secret treasure is not something easy to come by.
Even in the [Botanical Garden], one piece can be sold for tens of thousands of magic stones.
The Lawrence family's first-level wizard secret treasure is used to protect the family's trump card.
Precious and invaluable,
Naturally, it cannot be loaned out easily.
If the loan is not returned and the family inheritance is affected, the Lawrence family will suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, lending out a first-level wizard secret treasure is a gamble for both the Lawrence family and Wizard Johnny.
The bet was won and everyone was happy.
If you lose the bet, you lose everything.
No one can bear this responsibility.
Hearing Lu Feng's promise, Wizard Johnny felt more at ease and slowly said:
"This first-level wizard secret treasure of our Lawrence family is called the [Earth Crown]. It is a wizard secret treasure made with a first-level earth element heart as its core, and it is imprinted with a first-level sorcery [Rock Shield].
The [Crown of the Earth] has been in the hands of the Lawrence family for over a hundred years, and when it was obtained, it was already broken in many places.
At that time, this secret treasure was almost scrapped except for its own material.
After nearly a hundred years of repairs, the [Earth Crown] has barely recovered 50% to 60% of the power of a first-level wizard secret treasure."
After Wizard Johnny said this, Lu Feng immediately understood the situation of this first-level wizard secret treasure of the Lawrence family.
While it is precious, it is also in a damaged and fragile state.
If it were borrowed by Lu Feng to resist some powerful spells, the Earth Crown, which had been repaired with great difficulty, might be damaged again.
Lending it out once may involve many subsequent troubles.
"Wizard Johnny, don't worry. If I cause any damage to the Earth Crown during use, I am willing to bear all the repair costs. At the same time, the cost of borrowing the Earth Crown can be raised by the Lawrence family. All my promises can be signed into a contract!"
Lu Feng said seriously again.
"Well! Please allow me to have a meeting with the family to discuss this!"
Hearing this, Wizard Johnny thought about it for a while, but ultimately did not make a decision alone.
"Can!"
Lu Feng nodded and said that he also knew the difficulties of Wizard Johnny.
Wizard Johnny represents not only himself, but also the entire Lawrence family.
The crystal ball on the communication array dimmed.
On the other side, Wizard Johnny closed the communication array and summoned members of the Lawrence family to have a heated discussion on the matter.
The communication array was closed, and Lu Feng returned to the Qingmu Spiritual Realm to continue refining the spiritual realm.
Waiting for the response from the Lawrence family.
About an hour later, the communication array not far from the stone platform began to buzz, waking up Lu Feng who was in the spiritual realm.
The results of the Lawrence family’s discussion came out!
Lu Feng was delighted and quickly stood up and came to the communication array.
The crystal ball lit up again, and the face of Wizard Johnny appeared in the crystal ball.
When they spoke again, Wizard Johnny's expression was no longer as solemn and hesitant as before.
It seemed that the result of the family meeting discussion had allowed him to make a decision.
Lu Feng estimated that the Lawrence family had already made up their mind.
He should be able to borrow the Earth Crown, but he doesn't know what conditions the Lawrence family will put forward.
Under Lu Feng's gaze, the wizard Johnny in the crystal ball slowly opened his mouth and said with a smile:
"After a family meeting, we all agreed that we can temporarily lend you the Earth Crown!"
"Great, thank you for your help, Johnny. By the way, what are the temporary loan requirements that the Lawrence family has agreed on?"
After hearing what Johnny said, Lu Feng smiled.
Johnny looked at Lu Feng and made a rental request that surprised Lu Feng.
"The requirements for the temporary loan we agreed on are that you need to pay a deposit of one thousand magic stones, and a rental fee of 10 magic stones per day. You must also ensure that you do not damage the Earth Crown during the rental period! At the same time, the Lawrence family would like to ask you for a promise!"
The rent that Johnny paid for the rental was unexpectedly low for Lu Feng.
A deposit of one thousand magic stones and a rental fee of 10 magic stones per day.
Compared with the first-level wizard secret treasure, the Earth Crown, which is worth tens of thousands of magic stones, this amount of money is basically a gift for Lu Feng.
Giving it away for free, the Lawrence family is not fools, so it is impossible.
Lu Feng knew that the Lawrence family must be waiting for him with the promise in the last sentence.
"What promise?"
Lu Feng stared into Johnny's eyes and asked seriously.
People always have to have something to pursue.
Even if it’s not a promise worth a thousand gold, at least Lu Feng will definitely fulfill the promise he made.
Therefore, he never makes promises easily.
If the Lawrence family came up with a promise, the one he would have to agree to would be too outrageous.
Even if the Earth Crown was rented to him for free, Lu Feng could only reluctantly refuse.
As for the opening of the Shinto spiritual realm, Lu Feng could only find another way.
Under Lu Feng's gaze, Johnny slowly spoke, with a hint of ease:
“Rester, you don’t have to worry too much. This request that our Lawrence family discussed is actually not difficult.
All you need is for you to promise the Lawrence family that after I die, you will protect them for 20 years."
"That's all you want?"
After hearing what Johnny said, Lu Feng asked back in shock.
All he got was a somewhat gloomy look from Wizard Johnny, and then both sides of the communication array fell silent at this moment.
After a long while, Lu Feng finally spoke, and said with some melancholy: "Johnny, are you leaving?"
"well!"
Johnny sighed, and the figure in the crystal ball seemed to hunch over all of a sudden.
He pretended to be relaxed and said:
"I am old. I am already 109 years old this year. The life expectancy of a third-class wizard apprentice is only 1350 years old. I risked my life many times when I was young, and my body is already covered with wounds. It is almost impossible for me to live to the end of my life.
Recently, I have felt that my mental strength has begun to atrophy. I will probably be gone in a few years, but the Lawrence family has only second-class wizard apprentices and no hope of promotion.
Without me in charge, how can they keep this family business?"
Johnny's words were full of helplessness.
If one can live, no one would want to die.
Listening to Johnny's story, Lu Feng felt the same way.
Before he obtained the golden finger, during the time he was on the boat returning to the Trandi sub-continent, he was constantly tormented by the limitations of his qualifications and lifespan.
If Lu Feng had not passed through the [Space Gate] of the Earthly Immortal World, he would probably look like Johnny now after he turned a hundred years old.
This is also the reason why, after obtaining the treasure [Space Gate], Lu Feng was willing to take risks and continuously travel to the unfamiliar world of earthly immortals.
Compared with death, that little crisis is nothing.
"Johnny, I agree to your request!" Lu Feng said solemnly.
Johnny used a first-level wizard secret treasure in exchange for Lu Feng's twenty years of protection, which was definitely worth it.
Rent, rent, if Lu Feng can borrow the secret treasure once, he can borrow it a second time.
From then on, the Lawrence family was basically tied to Lu Feng.
With Lu Feng's strength and his pharmaceutical technology, the Lawrence family can at least rely on Lu Feng and reap the benefits for many years, until Lu Feng reaches the end of his apprentice-level life.
With this deal, Johnny basically arranged the future affairs of the Lawrence family.
For him, it was a big win.
But for Lu Feng, it’s not a loss either.
By the time he had used the Earth Crown to protect himself and explored the Shinto Spiritual Realm of the Earthly Immortal World, his Qingmu Spiritual Realm had basically reached the time for its complete transformation.
When the transformation is complete, he will be a Taoist priest of the Earthly Immortal Way whose strength can rival that of a formal wizard.
You have to believe in the strength of a formal wizard. At that time, protecting the Lawrence family would be just a matter of a word.
Basically, Lu Feng doesn't have to pay anything to temporarily possess the right to use a first-level wizard's secret treasure.
For Lu Feng, it was also a big profit.
After finalizing this win-win cooperation, both of them were smiling happily across the communication array.
The next day, the weather was fine.
Phew! ! !
Not long after the sun rose, a loud eagle cry was heard outside the Red Leaf Tower.
A giant black eagle with a wide wingspan and as tall as a two-story building when standing up swooped down from the sky and landed in the square outside the Red Leaf Tower.
"Enemy, enemy attack!"
The knight's apprentice, who had just taken over his shift guarding the tower in the early morning, was frightened by the fierce momentum of the giant eagle and trembled in fear. He shouted loudly and sounded the alarm.
"Don't worry, it's not an enemy, it's a distinguished guest!"
Just then, Lu Feng took Annie out of the wizard tower, and Annie shouted in a clear voice.
Following Anne's command, the nervous knight apprentices put down their weapons.
Only then did they see a kind white-haired old man behind the giant eagle.
"Welcome Wizard Johnny!"
Lu Feng came forward and greeted him warmly.
