Chapter 70 Enough to Exchange
Tu Xing became interested after hearing this and glanced at her hand: "What is it?"
Xue Rui: "I got a piece of metalwood. It's very good. I can make a magic wand from it alone."
“It looks like wood, but when it’s forged, it feels like metal.”
Hearing this, Tu Xing immediately thought of the wooden blocks in the drawer, "Was that also discarded by Celilda?"
The woman was embarrassed and said, "Couldn't I have picked the best piece in advance and presented it to her?"
Tu Xing's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say: Neither of them is very glorious, ma'am.
Since I was the one doing the exchange, I simply ignored this and said, "Then why don't you make it yourself?"
Xue Rui: "I can't cast magic. Only by possessing demonic power can I have the opportunity to stimulate this kind of talent. In theory, this power is higher than magic."
Tu Xing's ears moved slightly when he heard these words. So the magic he tried yesterday was successful. Was it from here?
"I mean, you don't keep a copy for yourself?"
Xue Rui: "No, there are plenty of them at the moment. There are still a lot of apprentices there. Two of them have done quite well recently. As usual, they are going to make new and more advanced magic wands."
After hearing this, Tu Xing became alert. Could it be that the scale is even larger?
The question that came out was: "Are you responsible for finding someone to produce it?"
Xue Rui nodded, a look of pride on her face. "This project should be my responsibility these days. The person who was originally in charge fell into the river and drowned while walking."
"It happened on the eve of leaving the palace, a week ago."
"This incident suddenly came up. Celilda suspects he stole it and was killed and abandoned by his partner. She has ordered someone to investigate."
Tu Xing nodded calmly, "From now on, I will be registered under her name, so I should be able to get a portion of the magic wand materials normally. You can use this to exchange..."
There was something unspoken in the words, filled with a hint of doubt.
The woman should have been present at the time when the name was put on the list.
Xue Rui frowned, sighed deeply, and said, "Getting it in advance is different from getting it after a while. It's still quite expensive outside. The quality is really higher than anything else."
Tu Xing: "How do you know it's of such high quality? Do you have it with you?"
After asking this question, Xue Rui quickly took it out of her pocket, held it in her palm and unfolded it. "Here, look at the pattern and color."
"If you could compare it with the others, you would definitely agree with what I said."
Tu Xing was stunned. It was unexpectedly different. He could see a very faint light, which was actually green?
It corresponds to vitality, or extreme poison.
The wood itself had a light brown texture, with strands of green light floating on it, reminding him of new plants.
Xue Rui stared at the man's eyes, her own eyeballs twitching rapidly, "Are you satisfied?"
Tu Xing raised his eyes, said sternly without comment, "It's just a material. It should at least be a usable finished product, right?"
Xue Rui had been focusing on his eyes, and the young man raised his eyes to make it easier for her to look directly at him.
The woman's eyes twitched faster, and a determined smile suddenly appeared on her face:
"When you tell me, I'll finish it two days in advance."
Tu Xing avoided his gaze and was looking at Mu Tou too seriously, so he didn't pay attention to the fact that they were looking at each other.
Thinking of something, he simply turned his gaze back and said, "I can tell you a little bit about the guesswork I've gotten."
“It was a complete coincidence when I got it, and even if I could reproduce it, there’s no guarantee of success.”
Xue Rui nodded repeatedly and asked expectantly, "Now?"
Tu Xing: "I think it's still a little bit lacking. Compared to the method, what you gave me is not valuable enough."
The woman frowned and accused him, "That's so dishonest! Why are you still asking for a higher price?"
Tu Xing smiled, put one hand on his waist, the other hand on his arm, clenched his fist against his chin, and leaned his back against the wall.
“Celilda once commented: The most perfect balance, the dream of all.”
"Do you think what you've given me is enough?"
"I just said that your status is only below these two people. If you can get it, then you will be on equal footing with me."
Xue Rui rolled her eyes and said dejectedly, "Then tell me what you want, and I'll do my best to get it for you."
At this point, Tu Xing glanced around and leaned closer: "What is the most important and fundamental thing about her?"
Xue Rui looked away and quickly came back, "You don't want me to get it, do you?"
"If I could really get it, even if I got this little bit immediately, I'm afraid I would be killed."
Of course Tu Xing didn't ask her to get it, he was just asking. Hearing this, he felt something in his heart.
The following reminder: "The ability to resurrect from the dead."
Xue Rui lowered her voice, "Don't underestimate her. This ability was originally discovered by her. It's not easy to suppress it. There are many ways to make her unable to live or die."
Tu Xing nodded in agreement, "So what is it?"
The woman didn't want to talk to anyone and said, "A door that connects to the divine realm. Only she can enter and exit freely. She has been there very few times in the past three years. I only know of one or two times."
As she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something: "There is something that should be enough to exchange for your voluntary telling me."
Tu Xing said in a serious tone, "I'd like to hear more details."
Xue Rui: "The invisibility cloak is strictly speaking a defective product, but it has a certain probability of success."
As soon as he heard the first few words, Tu Xing looked around instantly.
Especially from the direction of Celilda's room, the voice was almost whispered: "Then why are you still talking here?"
The woman said with amusement, "You're quite amusing. The success rate is quite low. Also, it seems the wearer must be a mage, and a spell needs to be cast. The fabric has holes in it."
"Now no one in the world dares to disobey her wishes, and she has always kept it in the bottom of the box."
Tu Xing exhaled, almost frightened to death, and asked in shock: "Do you have the spell?"
"Make sure I can use it. As long as I have this magic wand and the broken pendant, I'll give you the news immediately."
Xue Rui blinked: "The things are in the palace. I'll come to you after you get them."
The young man nodded. "Then it's settled. I'm going to return the book."
Just as he was about to leave, he thought of something and turned back, "Oh, this piece of wood still has to be this one. It can't be changed."
Xue Rui: "Okay, you have to keep your word."
Tu Xing said "hmm" and turned around and left.
After walking down a few corridors, I arrived at Celilda's door, knocked three times, and waited for a while.
There was a noise coming from inside the door, mixed with the voice of a man talking. Tu Xing listened to the tone and his eyebrows moved slightly.
I just guessed that it was the man I met in the flashback - Luo Bo, Celilda's lover.
According to the normal timeline, this should be the first time the two met.
Tu Xing smiled and said, "I came to return the book, but it seems I came at a bad time and disturbed your leisure time."
A man in his thirties, with deep eyes and a puzzled expression, asked, "Who are you?"
With the experience from last time, Tu Xing's reply was particularly targeted: "Cyril, His Majesty's roommate."
