Chapter 149 Goodbye David

Angel looked up and saw a figure wearing an antenna helmet, prowling furtively around his door.

The fence in the yard was so high that he could only see the metal helmet with the antenna sticking out. Even so, Angel guessed the identity of the person.

“David?” Angel rested his chin on his palm and lazily greeted the person outside.

It was David who came. Although the brown goggles covered most of his face, Angel could not mistake his outfit and figure.

David took off his goggles and smiled dryly at Angel.

“How did you know it was me who came over?” Angel still leaned against the fence while talking to David and had no intention of opening the door.

David poked his forehead and muttered vaguely with his head down.

Angel: “What did you say, I didn’t hear it?”

David looked up and smiled flatteringly at Angel. “Angel, I want you to do me a favour…”

Angel narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously, “What are you up to?”

David was a little embarrassed while taking a familiar object out of his satchel: The cross blade, the screw rod, the crude shape… it was the original spiral aircraft with huge defects.

“Angel, I… I made a new one. Cough… I’d like asking Toby to help me try it out again.” David blinked with his watery eyes and looked with anticipation.

Angel smiled.

David smiled too.

The next second, Angel directly withdrew his smile, waved to David and went back: “Goodbye David, I will not send you out.”

As soon as he heard this, David’s expression was stiff, and when he saw Angel turning around to leave. He hastened to shout:

“Angel! Give me a chance!! Toby, little darling, please help your brother out!”

Angel sat back on the bench under the mistletoe, picked up the book and continued to bask in the sun. Totally ignoring David’s cry: The sunshine today was really beautiful, but it was just a bit noisy today.

David shouted, screamed and cried for half a day.

While Toby was resting in a tree, he was awoken by David’s crying all morning. He circled in the air before landing on Angel’s shoulder.

David saw the Lord had appeared, and the sound of his howling became even louder.

At this point, Angel also explained the situation to Toby for why David was here. Toby listened, then made an “X” shape with his wings, showing no hesitation with his refusal.

“Stop howling, don’t add the suffix of ‘little darling’ at will, and I don’t believe in your alchemy skills. Finally, Toby didn’t agree to help you. I can’t help with this either.” Angel’s voice is clear, like a lake rippling by a wind sent in the summer. The voice was faint as the sound quietly enters David’s ears.

“The second-generation spiral aircraft this time is absolutely flawless. I have installed the steering gear. I’m sure there won’t be any problems now! Angel just try it out for me. I’ll pay you in return!! Toby, my darling, please!!” David shouted from outside the door.

When Toby heard about “payment in return,” he suddenly made a decision.

After, Toby kept pacing beside Angel, pointing in the direction of the attic from time to time.

“You mean, you want to let David give you another echo flower, and you can promise to help him?” Angel guessed Toby’s mind.

Toby nodded at once. He has thought about it. Anyway, he can also fly away if the aircraft has problems. He can’t fall to his death, right? If he helps test this out, he can get another echo flower… then wouldn’t he be able to play more than a duet?

After getting along these days, Angel also knows why Toby likes the echo flower. Toby seems to have a strange obsession with sound or music. While he was practising. Toby studied how to make his voice sound clearer and crisper in the attic every day, and how to make echo flower cooperate and match with his beautiful sounds to achieve the effect of a duet.

Angel remembers the Holographic Tablet has a lot of Earth music stored in it. After calculating the remaining four planes, Angel decided to play them to Toby whenever he has free time to cultivate and develop his “aesthetic” senses.

Now that Toby has agreed, Angel was in no position to refuse. But unlike Toby, he does not have such a small heart. An echo flower cannot buy him…

As soon as Angel’s eyes rolled, David felt he got in trouble.

When David saw him walking up to the fence, he showed the eyes of an abandoned puppy.

Angel chuckled at the bottom of his heart, and he didn’t eat the acting cute bit.

“It’s not impossible to promise you, but you have to agree with me on three conditions. Otherwise, we can’t discuss it.” Angel’s arms are folded around his chest as if he was ready to say “goodbye” if he doesn’t promise.

David swallowed and choked, and always felt that if he agreed, he would be badly cheated by Angel. In fact, he also wanted to find an ordinary rabbit to test his aircraft, but the rabbit’s intelligence is too low to control the steering ah! It took him more than two months to design the steering system, how can ordinary beasts manipulate it? Only a Warcraft like Toby with a high IQ can control it.

—To be honest. This is David’s first time ever seeing a Warcraft with a high IQ comparable to a human, and with such low strength and a small body.

“What are the three conditions?” David asked weakly, and with an expression that he would faint as long as Angel’s conditions were too high.

“First, I need some information about the Sky Tower.” Angel starts with a less-lethal condition. The reason he asked for Sky Tower information was he coveted Sky Machinery City’s Wizard Garden… He wants to see if he can find a way to climb to the top easily without facing too much trouble through David…

“Sky Tower information, this is no problem, I am preparing to participate in… Ahem, my friend wants to take part in the competition. I have helped him collect some information and guarantee that it is very detailed!” When David heard the first condition, he was a little relieved. It seemed that Angel’s heart was as good as his appearance.

“Second. After all, it’s Toby who contributes, and you have to pay Toby too.” Toby also flew over at this time and stood tall on top of Angel’s hair.

“No problem!” He knew he was bound to bleed once with Toby today, and only hopes that Toby’s heart will be as good as Angel’s.

Angel falsely exchanged a few words with Toby and then turns around to look at David.

“Toby has told me that if you want to ask him for help. You have to give him some echo flowers.” Angel deliberately enlarges the number to “some” and carefully observes David’s reaction, pondering his bottom line.

The price of an echo flower costs 128 contribution points, which translates into a little more than 1 magic crystal. David’s monthly salary at Promi Alchemy Shop is 5 magic crystals, and an echo flower is equal to one-fifth of his monthly salary.

David’s face flashed a tangled colour. One or two, he could bear by gritting his teeth, but after four, he couldn’t help it.

“Three! Toby said three! ” Angel watched David’s expression for a long time and finally settled on the price.

“Three? That’s too much. I only get 2 magic crystals a month as a salary!” David is crying. Three of them are his psychological bottom line, but if he can get it for less, he will shoot for less. So, he decides to cry shamelessly and act poor!

However, Angel simply ignored David’s cries. On the contrary, the old lord was watching David’s crying play with an expression of watching a theatrical performance.

In the end, David gritted his teeth and recognized three echo flowers. But at the bottom of his heart, he was severely cursing Toby. How could this vicious bird not learn any good graces from Angel? Sure enough, Angel still has the best heart!

Toby, who was totally unaware of being cursed by David, was full of joy at this time. He originally only wanted to blackmail an echo flower… Unexpectedly, his little master gave would be so powerful as to multiply it by 3. Toby had already envisioned the scene for his future quartet concert!

As soon as the “third…” condition was about to be put forth by Angel. David quickly raised a white flag to surrender.

David’s eyes were filled with tears: “Let me start by saying my salary is gone this month!”

Angel smiled gently at David: “Don’t worry, I don’t want your money.”

David was comforted by the gentle smile, wiped away his tears and looked at Angel.

“In this last couple of days, I have been getting ready to advance to Wizard Apprentice.”

David: “Congratulations! However, I heard that most of the talents in your current session have received a Mentor Flier Invitation Card and teachings from a mentor. According to the time, your promotion is too slow.”

Angel said indifferently, “No way, my talent is too bad.”

Hearing Angel, David seems to see a strong heart wrapped in self-deprecating words. Even if the talent is not enough, but he can still also be a hard-working good youth. David instantly replaced Angel with himself. He was a normal talent, although not the tail end of the crane, it was difficult for him to make progress…

For a moment, David became full of affection for Angel.

David excitedly said, “Angel, what do you want? Tell me, as long as I can do it, I’ll definitely help you!”

Now that David’s face has changed. Angel is stunned. He doesn’t know what happened to David. But listening to his tone, it seems that the topic has been derailed somehow.

Angel coughed twice and said, “I happened to get an introductory alchemy manual, so I wanted to learn alchemy after I was promoted to apprentice. My third condition is I want you to buy some alchemy materials from Promi Alchemy Shop… Of course, I will pay the price. I just hope you can sell it to me at the market price.”

Angel’s third condition was not intended to open the lion’s mouth, but to get a stable supply chain of alchemy materials. As a worker in Promi Alchemy Shop, David must have a long-standing relationship with acquiring sales materials for the shop. So, it’s much more reliable to buy from him than to go out and look around for a layman.

After listening to Angel’s third request, David was not surprised. Alchemy introductory books are available in many places, and many of the new newcomers to the Wizard Plane are full of expectations for the highly profitable industry of alchemy. Many want to make easy money from it. But the vast majority of people, over time, will gradually give up alchemy refining. Because in this line of work, it really depends too heavily on talent.

David looked at Angel as if he had seen himself. He also plunged into the pit of alchemy and came out with a lump of blood. Now he can’t mix either high nor low. His fighting power is not good, because of the time he has spent on alchemy. His alchemy is not good, because his talent is general, and there is no inheritance. He has been in the profession for five years and has only refined his first work: Spiral Aircraft.

And it’s a defective product. At the thought of this, David was filled with sorrow.

“No problem with this. Some materials that Master Promi doesn’t need. I can even transfer them to you at the cost price.” David paused, with a hint of concern on his face: “But Angel, you have to think about it clearly, alchemy is not an easy profession to get started in.”

Angel smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s just an experiment anyway. If there is no talent, it’s no big deal to switch to another profession.”
