Caroso came out of the dormitory after cleaning up and went straight to the principal's office.
While passing by some students, I heard them discussing something...
"Unfortunately, I'm late. Just now Nimel beat up that Avalon Academy guy named Maren on the ring."
"It is said that Maren is Nimel's biological brother?"
"This was too harsh. He couldn't even get up after the beating. He was beyond recognition."
"Keep your voice down, is that Caroso? Their relationship seems to be quite complicated."
"Magic can still be used like this..."
"If Nimel was here when Elemental Mage was communicating, he would definitely win."
"It's embarrassing, Nimel is still too small."
Caroso couldn't help but smile when he heard the news.
Nimel, finally sensible.
[Boss Caro smiles so happily]
[Nimel finally forgot his former family]
[Send your daughter out, it's so disrespectful, just give her a beating]
"Well, when I'm done, I'll give him a good beating."
Soon, Caroso, led by the principal, came to a hidden laboratory.
Pushing open the heavy door, Caroso entered the laboratory.
I saw that there were bookshelves everywhere in the laboratory, and there were many various books scattered on the floor.
Deep in the laboratory, a woman in a white coat was working on several materials.
Caroso took a deep breath and started walking forward.
"Be careful, don't step on them."
The woman spoke.
Her voice sounded weak, but it reached Caroso's ears clearly.
Caroso stepped forward cautiously.
This laboratory is very dark, with only a few oil lamps. I don't know if the professor only likes dark environments.
After reaching the innermost part, Caroso finally saw clearly Professor Alita who was doing research.
Wearing a white coat, she could not hide her graceful figure.
It can be said that this is the broad-minded woman Caroso has ever seen. Just looking at her conscience can arouse men's most primitive desires.
Her skin is very white and looks unhealthy.
Although her hair is messy, her face and hair are very clean, without a trace of dirt, and there are not thick dark circles under her eyes like Caroso imagined.
Seeing Caroso come in, she pushed up her glasses and said softly, "Are you the winner this time? What kind of card making do you want to learn."
As she spoke, she laid out six cards.
Among them, there is the Blazing Storm that countless Elemental Mages dream of.
The cards she laid out were all Elemental Mage cards. Each one was incredibly powerful, and the weakest one was also a fifth-level card.
"Professor Alita, I know you." Caroso said.
"There are many people who know me, but very few people have met me. Even Merlin wanted to see me but I rejected him." Alita fiddled with the card. "Just choose, I don't like people who talk a lot of nonsense."
"Water of Blessing, New Moon Gold, I can get it for you." Caroso said, "As long as you need it."
Alita's hand paused, and she slowly turned her head and looked at Caroso's face. "Who are you?"
"Caroso·Kolia." Caroso smiled.
Alita stood up suddenly and grabbed Caroso's collar. There was a hint of murder in her eyes. "Why do you know these two things!"
"You are a great Card Maker." Caroso said the lines belonging to Merlin that the barrage taught him, "Unfortunately, your father broke a leg while exploring Dungeon for you, and that leg was infected with a curse. Only the water of Water of Blessing can barely suppress the curse."
"You want to build him a mechanical leg to replace his original leg, but even Water of Blessing can barely suppress this curse. Even if you install a new mechanical leg, it will be corroded by the curse."
"If you want to create a perfect leg, you need New Moon Gold, which is not an ordinary material."
"You posted a mission on the black market and the Adventurer's Guild, and made it clear that you wanted these two things, but Water of Blessing is easy to get, and New Moon Gold is a material that can only be produced by the third-level Dungeon."
"This material is very special. If it cannot be completed and placed on a person's body within ten days of taking it out from Dungeon, it will lose its ability to swallow the curse."
"Three years, you have waited for three full years, even if you get New Moon Gold to submit the task, it is not enough. In fact, many New Moon Gold have already passed the deadline when they get here..."
"Are you investigating me?" Alita frowned.
"I need you." Caroso did not refute. "I want to have my own Card Maker team."
"Hmph." Alita let go of Caroso, sat on the chair, covered his right leg with his left leg, and crossed his hands in front of his chest. "Can you get it?"
"Of course." Caroso nodded. "Just because others can't get it, doesn't mean I can't get it."
"It's too late." Alita shook his head. "Even if you get it, it's too late."
"That's for others." Caroso said, "I am sure to bring New Moon Gold back to you within a week. How will you repay me then?"
"How about being your stepmother?"
"Huh?" Caroso was stunned for a moment.
"Pfft..." Alita covered his mouth and laughed, "I'm just kidding you, I don't like old men, but I still like handsome young men like you."
[Hahahahahaha...Boss Caro Don't look at Alita like this, she won't be the same person when she goes out]
[Smoking, drinking, clubbing, and perming your hair, Alita is a fashion pioneer]
[I think Boss Caro misunderstood. In the CG, Merlin reached out to Alita to pull her up. Alita does look like an autistic type]
[Damn, she gave me a lot of work just after I drew Alita. To improve her mood, she must use tobacco and alcohol. Her personal tasks are all bar fights]
[Don't think that she likes dark environments, she is just poor and doesn't have enough money to pay the electricity bill]
[If she hadn't felt guilty about her father all these years, she wouldn't have locked herself up here and been making cards and selling them to pay for her father's leg]
[After staying in this environment for a long time, she is under great pressure and has become abnormal]
[She has already emptied her family fortune for her father]
Snap.
At this time, Alita took a cigarette, lit it, and blew out a smoke ring. "Little guy, how confident are you that you can get New Moon Gold?"
"I know a Dungeon, level three, and I happen to be level three. And in that Dungeon, there is definitely the New Moon Gold you want." Caroso said, "I have my own companions who can get what you want."
"Third-level Dungeon, you look like you are only a first-year person, are you looking for death?" Alita looked at Caroso with a strange look on his face. "From the tone you just spoke, you should be a noble. Do you want to hire some adventurers?"
There is no question about how Caroso knows which of the newly appeared third-order Dungeon has New Moon Gold and Alita.
There are Prophets in this world. It is not particularly difficult to predict such a thing.
"Of course it's not my style to go in person and leave hope in the hands of others." Caroso said, "First graders can also challenge the third level Dungeon. I just successfully challenged one."
"Huh, actually I have given up." Alita put the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep breath. "Three years, do you know how I lived these three years?"
"Hope again and again, despair again and again..."
"I've never experienced that feeling, so I can't empathize with it. I'm sorry." Caroso said.
"You are so sincere," Alita said with emotion, "Three years ago I was not a S-class card maker. Plus, all I like to make are weird cards, so I didn't save much money. My father went to Dungeon to take risks for the same material as mine, but he unexpectedly folded his leg in it."
Speaking of this, Alita looked annoyed. "Damn it, why is that old guy so stupid? It's just the same material..."
"For him, it is not just a piece of material, but also to make up for his debt to you." Caroso said softly.
"You child, you know a lot. It seems that you are not a small nobleman. Also, even a marquis cannot say that he can afford to support a Card Maker like me." Alita mocked. "It should be difficult for nobles like you to understand the difficulties of ordinary people's survival, right?"
"For the same material, you may even lose the lives of a dozen adventurers."
"And you nobles, as long as you pay a small amount of money that is insignificant to you, you can get what they have worked hard for."
"I'm going to refute this." Caroso said, "In my grandfather's generation, we no longer had territory, and my father was just a baron with little power at that time. My father started as a small battalion commander with hundreds of people, a position that many ordinary people can achieve. Everything he has today is achieved step by step with a battalion and hard work."
"Eighth-tier dungeon broke through the restrictions and almost destroyed the entire Azure Wolf Province. At that time, everyone else was running out, but my father was the only one going in."
"After rescuing many people, the two major countries intervened and began to eliminate the monsters that escaped. My father, however, survived in the cracks of the three countries, playing both sides. Every step was like walking a tightrope, and that's how he got to where he is today."
"His start was similar to that of many people, but he succeeded, while many ordinary people dare not think about it."
"I know your experience has made you have some feelings of hatred against rich people, but our family is different from those old aristocrats."
"Every Kolia has to go through the tempering of blood and fire. I started challenging Dungeon when I was eight years old. I have experienced life and death many times. I am not a noble young master who just waits for death."
Alita was silent.
Not everyone knows the story of Grand Duke Kolia, only those in power are interested.
Normal people are familiar with things in their own circle.
"Okay, it seems that you are indeed different from those people." Alita stretched out, revealing his beautiful figure.
"Since you are short of money, why don't you go to class?" Caroso asked doubtfully.
"You don't make money by taking classes." Alita said, "How do you think these professors make money? Are they paid by the school? No, no, no, they all have their own clients. Being a professor can only enhance your reputation and expand your network."
"I'm just like them. When I'm short of money, the first thing I think of is to take on private work."
"I have too much private work, so I don't have time to go to class. I'm quite popular outside."
"It's more than just this, right?" Caroso asked curiously.
"Well, at first I didn't want to see other people's pity for me. This kind of bad thing Eight Trigrams spread so fast. The day after my dad's accident, it seemed that the whole circle knew about it." Alita said mockingly, "The way they looked at me was pity, and I hate being pitied!"
"In fact, many nobles even want to keep me as their lover!"
"You don't want my abilities, but you want my body. You want to pay me more than I can to make cards. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"It's ridiculous." Caroso said seriously, "You are a powerful Card Maker and a Card Maker who deserves respect."
"Ha, no, I was not like that at that time." Alita shook his head. "Even in the beginning, even if I took on private work, I earned very little. The cards I made in the past were quite strange, and it was not that easy to change. I want to make orthodox cards, and it will take a certain amount of time."
"Since Blazing Storm came out, I started to get rich, but all the money was used to plug the bottomless pit before."
"It wasn't until this year that I paid off my debt."
"However, after a long time, I got used to staying here, and I don't like dealing with people."
"Just recently, I thought about it. It wouldn't be a bad idea to lock myself up like this for the rest of my life."
"So, little guy, I won't blame you if you can't get anything back."
"It's impossible for me to serve you."
"Why don't you want to see Merlin?" Caroso has another question.
"I told you, I'm not short of money now." Alita smiled self-deprecatingly, "I've seen a lot of people like her, and they all want to recruit S-level me."
"You know what? A big shot like her promising to help me bring out New Moon Gold is much scarier than a kid like you."
"Because, I will really believe her..."
"I have believed in many such people."
"But, without exception, I believed everything wrong."
"I will definitely get New Moon Gold." Caroso said seriously, "At any cost."
"I promise, you will definitely serve me!"
Looking at Caroso's clear eyes, Alita just felt a little cute.
He is such an interesting kid, and I don't know where his confidence comes from.
"Okay, then go ahead, remember to bring more bodyguards, don't get caught in it." Alita yawned. "If you can really connect a perfect leg for my father, what if I help you? But I have agreed in advance, I am very expensive."
"Don't worry."
Caroso After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked outside.
[Boss Caro, don't set up a FLAG!]
[Yes, Merlin didn't get New Moon Gold, the person she sent failed]
[You just need to go to Dungeon and take out a part of New Moon Gold]
[It wasn't New Moon Gold that made her walk out, it was her father's letter]
Caroso paused when he walked to the door.
"I am different from Merlin, I am Caroso·Kolia." Caroso said, "And, I have you."
