Section 947 Rose Garden
This is a mountain forest away from the Tree Garden.
The mountain has a horizontal top, called a rose top, which is swirled in the clouds.
As Ingres rode on the flying boat, he saw a bright red under the clouds from a distance, and even before he could get closer, he could smell a vague scent of roses.
It was Liana's rose garden.
Although he had never actually set foot in it, he was no stranger to this rose garden. Because Sanders had told Angels more than once that if he had any doubts about alchemy, he would go to the rose garden to find Liana.
It's just that Ingres hasn't been there.
Angels did not fly directly to the top of the rose, but landed at the bottom of the mountain. Then follow the mountain road and slowly climb to the top.
Because Liana, in order to avoid being disturbed by outsiders, she spread a layer of scented poisonous clouds over the top of the rose. If Ingres continues to fly, he will die on his own.
The only way to do this is to measure the trail with your feet.
Halfway up the mountain, Ingres was blocked by thorns. Through the thorns, you can faintly see the shadows of buildings behind you, and the path hovering in the dark forest.
However, these thorns obscure the sky and the sun, like a high wall. For outsiders to enter, they must either leap or only cut off.
Leaping will lead to a poisonous cloud, and slashing will offend Liana. Therefore, for outsiders, there is actually only one way left, and that is ...... Bribe.
Ingres had heard some secrets about the rose garden before, and knew that this thorny wall was actually a rose from a hilltop rose garden.
As long as you bribe this flower, it will open the net and open a way for you.
However, there was no need for a bribe, and he took out a delicate crystal rose from the bracelet, and when this rose came out, the thorny wall seemed to sense something, and took the initiative to separate a way.
Ingres nodded in satisfaction and walked through the thorny wall.
However, at the moment when he crossed, he faintly heard a shrill voice: "Alas, I thought it was a fat sheep, but I didn't expect to hold the master's token!"
The crystal rose, which was the token of passage in the rose garden, was given to Angel by Sanders.
Ingres pretended not to hear the words and continued to climb up the mountain road. The higher he went, the more he could smell the rich aroma, and when he stood at the door of the rose garden, the refreshing fragrance was even more obvious.
In such a strong aroma, Angels does not feel tired, but feels relaxed both physically and mentally.
Not long after he stood at the gate of the rose garden, he heard a "click" and the door was opened from the inside.
I saw a thin young man wearing goggles and some freckles on his face, standing inside the door, looking at Angel with surprise in his eyes.
"Ingresβ" The young man was David, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and he opened his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, a rose suddenly sprang out from his back.
The rose stretched out its vine and reached Ingres's face.
"You're Angel?!" This is a huge rose with a mouth and sharp teeth, it looked Ingres up and down, and finally said in an extremely regretful tone: "Sure enough, it's a fat sheep, but unfortunately, how can you have a token!"
Angel reckoned that this is the rose that is keen to take bribes?
"Even if there is a token, don't you know that when you go to a strange place, you have to worship the mountain? And the rule of the rose top is my rule, and my rule is to give the magic crystal ......."
David pulled the rose vine with a black line on his face and threw it aside.
"Ingres don't pay attention to it, even if he doesn't bring a token, don't give it a bribe. Just cut it down, by the way, this guy is not afraid of fire, but he is extremely afraid of cold, you can also use freezing to freeze its rhizomes......"
"David, how dare you do this to Uncle Ben! I must tell my master about your evil deeds, so that she will never teach you any more knowledge, and then let you get out of the rose garden!"
David turned his head to look at the foaming roses, squinted his eyes and said viciously, "Jack Sue, can you shut up." One more ......"
David's eyes narrowed, and cold white smoke flashed from his hands.
The rose, named Jacksu, was visibly startled after coming into contact with the cold smoke and fled back into the rose garden. But he still scolded in his mouth, signaling that he wanted to give David a good look.
It wasn't until Jack Sue left that David smiled again and greeted Angell.
"In less than two years, your momentum has changed a lot. Angel snorted twice: "You used the cold smoke trick just now?"
The cold smoke trick is a level 0 trick. Holographic plate analysis after condensation, a trick of reconstruction. Except for being able to release an extremely cold aura, it is of little use.
It was a trick recorded in the "Elementary Trick Change" that Ingres gave to David and Baruba.
David nodded a little embarrassedly: "That's right, it's the cold smoke trick." Thanks to this trick, otherwise I would have been annoyed by that guy from Jack Su every day. β
When it comes to Jack Sue, David seems to have an endless groove.
From David's mouth, Angel also learned that Jack Su was actually a magic servant cultivated by Liana, who liked magic crystals the most, and it was not only a talker, but also had a very poisonous mouth on weekdays.
If he hadn't learned the trick of cold smoke that consumes demons and has a long endurance, he wouldn't know how to deal with Jack Su.
It wasn't until David finished complaining that he suddenly reacted, and they were still standing at the door of the rose garden.
"Oops, it's been a long time since I've chatted properly, I almost forgot to get down to business. David slammed his head and looked at Angel, "Are you here to find a mentor?" β
"No, I'm here for you. β
Half an hour later, Ingres and David sat at a table in the middle of the rose garden.
"I heard that you were back before, and I wanted to go to you, but I happened to be caught by my mentor and asked me to deepen my coagulation technique, so I didn't pull away. David had an apologetic look on his face.
Angel didn't care, and he was happy to see that David could now worship Liana as a mentor.
"That's right, here's for you. Davy suddenly remembered something, took out a disposable space pouch from his pocket, and a music box and handed it to Angel.
"This is the money from the last time I sold a music box at an ancient auction. David pointed to the disposable space soft bag, and then pointed to the music box and said: "I haven't sold this music box yet, because there are too many music boxes thrown out in a short period of time, and it is estimated that it will not sell at too high a price." I was going to sell it after a while, but since you're back, I'll just leave it to you. β
Angels pushed the music box back to David: "I'm coming to you this time because I'm leaving soon, so ...... You can help me sell it, and the commission will still be the same. β
"Why are you leaving?" Davy asked in surprise, "Where are you going this time?"
To David's question, Ingres just smiled and did not answer. If it is to go to the abyss, it is estimated that David will also be worried, so it is better not to say anything.
Angel picked up the disposable space soft bag and sensed the number of magic crystals in the space: "190,000 magic crystals?
As early as Lloydes' time, Ingres heard that his music box sold for 200,000 magic crystals. The commission of the Ancient Auction, when it exceeds 100,000 and is not more than 1 million, is 5%. In other words, the Ancient Auction also has to take a 10,000 rake, and there are 190,000 magic crystals here, which means that David did not take the 10% commission agreed in advance.
David scratched his head: "The last time I went to the Ancient Auction, I actually got a lot of money. That's why I was able to worship Liana as a mentor...... So, I'm not going to draw it. β
David told him about what had happened at the auction and how he had left the Ancient River Beach thanks to Liana's help.
After listening to it, Angel was a little embarrassed, and asked David to help auction a music box, which almost made him unable to come back, which he didn't expect.
"Anyway, I didn't have an accident, and I worshipped Liana as a mentor, which means that I also picked up a big bargain!" Davy is in a good state of mind, although the process is a little thrilling, but the result is good.
Angel opened the disposable soft pouch, and the magic crystals fell all over the ground.
Angel quickly took out 20,000 magic crystals from them and handed them to David: "Since the commission was set at the beginning, there is no regret." β
"But ......"
Without waiting for David to refute, Angel continued: "As for the opportunity you get later, you deserve it, and it has nothing to do with our agreement. β
After hesitating for a moment, David finally nodded and put the magic crystal away.
But at this moment, David felt a strange appearance on the ground, and when he looked down, he saw Jack Sue open his big mouth, saliva still falling from the corners of his mouth, and secretly rubbing against the magic crystal in that place.
"If you go any further, I'll make you a frozen jack!" Davy said viciously, and at the same time turned to Angel and said, "Quick, quickly put away the magic crystal." β
Jack Sue looked angry: "The rose garden is my territory, and everything that falls here is mine!
After speaking, the ground began to roll violently, and countless thorns rose from under the rose garden, and at the same time began to rob the magic crystal on the ground.
"You dare!" Davy immediately unleashed a cold smoke trick to banish Jack Sue.
But the cold smoke trick is just cold after all, although Jack Su doesn't like it, but in fact, he can still resist it for a while, and now that there are so many magic crystals on the ground, even if it is frozen for a while, it doesn't matter!
Seeing that the thorns had swept most of the magic crystals into the ground, David was so angry that he even went into battle to tear Jack Su by hand.
But Jack Su is not afraid, as long as he can grab the magic crystal.
After a while, the magic crystal was missing by more than half.
When Jack Sue was proud, David was very distressed to watch.
However, Jacksu's pride did not last long, only to see Angel, who had never moved, suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the thorns beside him who were eager to grab the magic crystal, and an invisible magic power melted into the thorns.
In an instant, Jack Sue's figure began to shake.
