Wizarding World Beekeeper

Chapter 19 Equivalent Exchange
Think about being hit in the face by several bullets at the same time. Even a tough person can't bear the pain.

The lycanthrope fell.

But Hua Mi did not let down her guard.

There are two more.

A man and a woman followed behind the lycanthrope.

The man wore a robe like him, but it was green, not as good-looking as his black robe.

The woman has a strong figure and holds a scimitar in her hand. She looks like a close combat unit such as an assassin.

Seeing the lycanthrope screaming and falling down, almost instantly killed, the two men immediately stopped, their faces solemn, and they did not dare to underestimate the man in black robes.

Hua Mi controlled the swarm to stand between him and the two people. As long as they dared to act rashly, he would let them taste severe pain.

The man and woman looked at each other and stopped at the same time.

Glancing at his fallen companion, I could see his abdomen rising and falling slightly. He was alive and well, but he just fainted.

As teammates who have been together for a long time, they know their partner's physique best, which is quite strong.

Especially in the partial animal state, it is easy to avoid injury.

Being able to knock him down with one blow is enough to show that the opponent's strength is unfathomable.

I'm afraid I'm still holding back.

If the other party shows mercy, they have to be sensible.

"It was a misunderstanding and we didn't intend to cause trouble."

The man pressed his right hand against his chest and bowed to him very gracefully.

Of course, Hua Mi couldn't believe his lies so easily.

When I was charging behind the beast-turned-man just now, I didn't see him being so kind. It was just that he was shocked by the hand he had just shown.

To be honest, Hua Mi's current mental strength can only control a swarm of bees at the same time. The reason why he was able to knock the opponent down at once was because he took advantage of the poor information and caught the opponent off guard.

Once the opponent sees the pattern and the two of them attack together, Hua Mi may not be their opponent.

As a last resort, the only option is to abandon the swarm and escape back to Earth alone through the wormhole.

This is still within the confines of the wooden house, and he can open a wormhole at any time.

But that was the situation he least wanted to see, which meant that the mutant bee swarms he had finally accumulated were suddenly reduced to zero, resulting in heavy losses.

Seeing that the man in black robe was still confronting him, the man spoke again: "My lord, Carter Neo, first of all, I would like to apologize to you for my companion's recklessness. He has received the punishment he deserves, and we have no complaints about it."

The woman also bowed: "Hylya Fiona, please forgive us, and thank you for your mercy."

One thing to say, the attitude is indeed good.

Hua Mi didn't even think about the dispute. It would be best if it could be resolved peacefully.

What needs to be clarified now is, why did the lycanthrope attack him when he came up?
This cannot be overcome by "recklessness".

There are two situations.

Or, like those fake flower spirits, they thought they were the original owner of this cabin, the "despicable alchemist" who had never shown up but seemed to have a strong presence.

It's equivalent to forming a group to fight the boss.

This situation is not bad, as long as the explanation is clear, the conflict can be resolved.

Or they just attack people indiscriminately for no reason.If this is the case, it means that they are pure evil, and the kindness they are showing now is just fake, and things will be very troublesome.

Hua Mi pondered for a moment and was about to ask.

But then I thought about it, I still have a relatively young voice, would exposing my voice ruin my image as a master?

With an idea, he controlled the bee swarm and formed subtitles in the air:

"What is your purpose here?"

The man named Carter replied: "We got news that there is an abandoned cabin in the Black Forest, and there is a semi-automatic alchemy cauldron inside. We came here just for it, but we didn't expect you to have come back."

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it was for the semi-automatic alchemy cauldron.Is that pot-bellied crucible so precious?
It's worth them teaming up to find it, even if they don't hesitate to attack.

"Moreover, they seemed to really think that I was the alchemist, so they chose to attack... How bad is that guy's reputation?"

The woman named Hilya glanced at the lycanthrope who collapsed on the ground with some annoyance, and then said: "My companion is affected by lycanthropy and has always been a irritable character. We didn't pay attention just now, and he had already charged. He's out. We have no choice but to keep up - in fact, it's mainly to restrain him."

To put it simply, teammates started a group indiscriminately, almost causing the group to be destroyed.

Hua Mi understands her mood very well. She often encounters such awesome teammates when playing games.

Having said that, the purpose of their coming here is the semi-automatic alchemy cauldron.

It's useless for Hua Mi to keep this thing, it's not that he can't give it to them.

However, they had to come up with a price that made Hua Mi's heart beat.

Fighting and killing is no fun.

Being fair and just, and making money by being harmonious is the right path he should take as a businessman.

Hua Mi pondered for a moment, controlled the bee swarm to change its form, and composed another line of words: "I have the alchemy cauldron here, and I can give it to you."

After the two people saw the subtitles clearly, they were surprised and happy.

It seems that he didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.

However, before a "thank you" could be said, the subtitles changed again: "The unchanging principle of alchemy is equal exchange. What can you provide?"

The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and realized that the man in black robe wanted to do business.

That's actually pretty good.

Civilized transactions, everyone gets what he needs.

"Please allow us to discuss this."

With that said, the two turned their backs and started discussing in low voices.

After waiting for a few minutes, the two turned around.

The man named Carter took off a silver ring from his left hand.

"This is a ring of concentration, made by the best elf craftsmen in the Emerald City. It can slightly increase the wearer's concentration when casting spells."

It can improve concentration and is also a useful tool for him.

Although he doesn't cast spells, controlling the swarm requires concentration.

When energy is distracted and concentration is insufficient, control of the swarm will be lost.

but.

That's it?

Hua Mi didn't say anything and just stood there indifferently. The meaning was very clear. If you want a semi-automatic alchemy cauldron, you have to increase the price.

"In addition, we can also provide you with something." Carter paused and looked at the place where the lycanthrope fell to the ground, "But that thing is on my companion. Can you please..."

He motioned to the swarm.

Hua Mi then controlled the bee swarm and retreated a certain distance.

Carter walked over, bent down and fumbled out a Rubik's Cube-like cube from his lycanthrope teammate.

Before he could get up, the beast-turned-man suddenly woke up and grabbed his wrist.

The left half of this guy's face has been swollen into a pig's head, his eyes have become slits, drool is dripping from the corners of his mouth, and hot gas is spitting out from his mouth. He doesn't know whether he is angry or in pain.

"The matter has been properly resolved and we are making a deal." Carter said calmly.

"The magic box is our treasure, we can't give it to him!" the lycanthrope shouted inarticulately.

"As you said, this is something that belongs to our team. It does not belong to you personally. It is only temporarily given to you for use. Now Hilya and I have decided to trade it. 2:1, the resolution was passed."
