strongest commander

Gref waited for several hours, and did not see Pei Yi until late at night.

"Damn bastard, it's really hateful to be played by him once." After leaving the tavern, Gref immediately tightened his shirt, cursing, thinking that Pei Yi must have played a trick on him, how could a little sailor do it? to the magic crystal.

But at this moment, a tall figure ran wildly from the entrance of the alley, shouting loudly while running: "Brother Gref...Big Brother...Magic Crystal...I got it for you."

Gref, who was still flustered just now, shuddered immediately when he heard this. The word "Magic Crystal" exploded in his mind. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he couldn't.

Just as he was in a daze, Pei Yi, who was rushing towards Gref, came to Gref's side in a blink of an eye, half-squatting and panting, looking up at Gref, as if he wanted to continue to say something.

That Pei actually got himself a magic crystal?He... He didn't lie to himself, did he!Gref felt that his mind was in a daze. The happiness came so suddenly that he was completely unprepared.

But when he came back to his senses, he grabbed Pei Yi's clothes and was extremely excited.

"Are you crazy, can you bark about things like Magic Crystal? If someone finds out, even if there are a hundred of you, it won't be enough to kill you." Gref was trembling all over, and he didn't know it was because of fear. Knowing that Pei Yi had the magic crystal, he was still too happy that he really got it.

Pei Yi patted Gref on the shoulder indifferently, and said slowly: "You are an adventurer, just a small magic crystal, no problem. By the way, Brother Gref, you have to remember to be in the tavern As you promised me, recommend me to join the Adventurer's Guild!"

When Gref heard about this incident, his attitude immediately became amiable. After all, the things were still in Pei Yi's hands, and this stupid big man was still useful.So he immediately patted his chest, and said solemnly: "Yes, yes, how could Gref forget the most important thing, as long as you give me the things, I will do business for you as soon as I complete the commission. What, You don't trust Brother Gref?"

Pei Yi bowed his head and thought for a while, as if he still couldn't trust the other party, so he didn't speak for a long time.

Gref, who was wearing a felt hat, was already scratching his head in anxiety, and finally thought of a way to win people's trust, and immediately said: "How about this, I will write you a contract, and I will write that Gref agrees to recommend Pei Joining the Adventurer's Guild, the reward is a magic crystal. How about it?"

"Is that so..." Pei Yi sighed softly.

Seeing that the other party showed signs of letting go, Gref immediately continued: "Adventurers never break their promises." After speaking, he quickly took out a piece of parchment from his arms, picked up a piece of charcoal on the ground, and wrote "Contract", and stuffed it into Pei Yi's arms.

Only then did Pei Yi smile, hold the contract tightly, and took out the cherry-sized magic spar from his pocket with the other hand, and handed it carefully to Gref.

"Give it to me, don't worry, as soon as I finish the task, I will come to the tavern to find you." Gref snatched the magic spar, looked under his eyes, and after making sure that the other party was not lying to him, he immediately walked towards the road. Drove in the other direction.

At this time, Pei Yi finally showed a smile. After playing with him for so long, it finally had some effect.

Pei Yi was sure that he had kept Gref's appetite for so long, and now he would not go anywhere else, but immediately found the magician. The so-called entrustment must be much more important than what he said.

When Gref's figure disappeared at the end of the road, Pei Yi suddenly followed Gref's direction quickly, and Gref's movements were under his control.

Sure enough, Gref ran all the way. Although he was already panting heavily, he had no intention of stopping to rest at all.

The man ran to the client's house outside the city with all his heart, for fear of any accidents if it was too late. You must know that magic crystals are not something that can be bought with money, otherwise the small magic crystal island would not be bought by many people. The caravans and adventurers sifted through it over and over again like a sieve of gold, each of them wanted to be the lucky one to find a magic crystal that slipped through the net.

When he came to a remote small manor outside the city, Gref finally let out a long breath, held the magic crystal to his chest with one hand, and slammed the door of the main house of the manor with the other hand.

"My lord mage... my lord mage... Gref has finally fulfilled your order and brought the magic crystal." Gref excitedly forgot to wipe off his sweat, and shouted excitedly.The two red eyes were full of anticipation, and he completely forgot that he yelled in the middle of the night, which was very likely to cause the magician's displeasure.

One must know that not every mage knows how to reason with civilians. If a fireball is thrown, Gref's life may be lost.

"Huh? Magicians actually live in this kind of place, remote but not deserted, not far from the market."

Standing behind the big tree not far from Gref, Pei Yi was puzzled, but before he could make a decision, the wooden door of the mage's house was pushed open with a "squeak".

A black-robed man walked out slowly from the inside. He couldn't see his face clearly under the dim light, but judging from his figure, at least he wasn't a skinny old man.The hair is long and tied casually behind the head, and there is no wooden staff inlaid with gems in his hand.

This is not a bit different from the image of a magician in Pei Yi's mind, at least the Master Karl he saw in Magic Crystal Island is not like this.

But Gref didn't have Pei Yi's hidden worries at all. When he saw someone coming, he immediately changed his expression, not to mention a flattering smile, and even raised the magic crystal with both hands, for fear of the person coming. The magician cannot see the real thing.

"My lord... my lord, I have brought the things, you can fulfill my wish!" Gref said loudly, his eyes were full of excitement, as if his long-cherished wish for many years had come true.

"Gref, I'm actually not a magician. I told you this fact long ago. Why do you still insist on the magic crystal?" the man in black robe said softly. He just looked at the excited Gref said softly.

"My lord, I understand. You don't want to reveal your identity, and you don't want civilians to disturb your research. It's okay, I will give you the magic crystal you want no matter what, but that..." Gref smiled knowingly , seemed to know the other party very well, but at the end, his face changed again, and he felt a little more tweaked.

The man in black robe wiped the broken hair in front of his eyes, thought for a while, and then said.

"Since you insist, then I have nothing to say. Show me the magic crystal. If this is what I want, you will be my apprentice from today on."

Hearing this, Pei Yi behind the tree was surprised.Unexpectedly, Gref wanted to become a magician's apprentice, but why did the other party insist that he was not a magician?

Gref was taken aback after hearing this, and could no longer hide the ecstasy in his heart. His black face was like a blooming dahlia at this moment, not to mention how brilliant it was.

"Okay...Okay!" Gref hastily offered the magic crystal in his hand, waiting for the final decision from the mage.

"This is indeed a good magic crystal from an island, but its color is light. It is the lowest quality spar in the associated mine. It...it is different from what I want." The black-robed man held the magic crystal in his hand and pointed at the crystal in the room. After looking at the lights for a long time, he said with a regretful face.

"No...my lord, you must have made a mistake...you...you have to look again, this is a high-quality magic crystal, I spent my whole life savings to get it, my lord, you must see it clearly " Gref's face changed drastically, he didn't expect the Master Mage's answer to be this, and finally his wish was about to come true, but when he kicked the door, he was kicked out ruthlessly.

The man was crying and begging the other party unceasingly.

"However, this is really not what I want. It's not good enough, and the medicinal properties are not enough. Even if you give it to me, I will be useless. Gref, I appreciate your kindness. You should take back the magic crystal, after all. It cost a lot of money." The black-robed mage walked up to Gref and returned the original magic crystal without any greed.

"Master...I..." Gref wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the black-robed mage suddenly fell silent.

Gref looked extremely annoyed, but Pei Yi, who was hiding behind a tree, felt like he was being followed.

It's not murderous, and it's not dangerous. If you don't pay attention deliberately, Pei Yi might not notice this feeling of being watched closely at all, and the alarm bells in his heart suddenly rang.

Pei Yi understood that he had been discovered by someone, but where did this feeling come from? It couldn't be that idiot of Gref, could it be that man in black robe?Facing an unknown crisis, Pei Yi never thought about leaving, because the more dangerous it was, the more it could prove the opponent's superior strength, so he immediately calmed himself down, and a plan was instantly formed in his mind.

"Wow...wow..." A rustle of leaves suddenly sounded in the quiet night sky. On a windless night, this sound was very abnormal.

Gref was still worried about the meaning of the mage's words, and when he heard the voice, he shouted: "Who is it?"

"I...it's me..." Pei Yi's voice sounded from the bushes, and Gref's face changed drastically, and he yelled at the other party angrily.

"Pei! Why are you here? You are following an adventurer!"

"I... I want to follow along and take a look. You are not lying to me. If you take the magic crystal I gave you and don't come to meet the mage, but take it for yourself, then I am not at a big loss!" Pei Yi said After being surprised, he immediately said confidently, but when he looked at the magician with black hair and black robe, he felt a little timid.

"You!" Gref really wanted to jump up and curse, but at this moment, the man in black robe suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Is this magic crystal yours? Come, tell me how you got it, and can you get a few more of better quality? The price...isn't a problem."

Pei Yi was waiting for these words, completely ignoring Gref's anger, strode up to the man in black, and said with a reserved face:

"My... my lord, this is indeed the magic crystal I gave to Gref. After he promised to complete the commission, he recommended me to join the Adventurer's Guild. I... I still have a few magic crystals, but..."

Pei Yi was very much like a real sailor at this time, with little experience, eager for adventure, and a little clever.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the mage in black immediately glanced at Gref not far away, who was sweating profusely. He was really disdainful of Gref's deceiving trick in the name of the Adventurer's Guild, so his expression softened a bit. , said to Pei Yi.

"Can you show me your magic crystal? If it is suitable, I will give you a corresponding reward, or I can fulfill your wish."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Pei Yi's face, which was in stark contrast to the ashen-faced Gref.

"Then, okay." Pei Yi thought for a while, and took out two exceptional magic crystals from his close-fitting pocket. One was also the size of a cherry, while the other was only the size of a fingernail.

The black-clothed mage took the magic calmly, and then continued to look carefully at the light.

At this time, Pei Yi seriously looked at the magician's appearance.
