Arad's Sword

Chapter 457 Challenge Qualification
Elder Alchemy glanced at Midi with admiration, then turned his head and nodded to the Patriarch, and then said with emotion: "It's very exciting. I never thought that there would be such an excellent alchemy on the continent of Arad!"

"Indeed, even those who don't know how to decipher mechanisms will not be bored at all. It seems that Midi has quite a lot of experience in this field." The head of the family also smiled slightly.

With the Patriarch's statement, it was equivalent to setting the tone of the entire regular meeting, and other elders also expressed their praise.

And Verna, who hadn't said much all the time, gave Midi a coquettish look this time, and she was only half-joking, and said to the Patriarch in a soft and charming tone: "Since this kid is so good at deciphering mechanisms, I Look, why don't you think of a way to stuff him into the Crystal Dragon Castle and make more contributions to the family, Patriarch, do you think it's okay?"

In an instant, the entire high-rise fell into silence again.

Although it was a half-joking atmosphere, who among these seasoned rulers would really take this sentence as a joke?

How can the position of a core child of a family, the position of a Menzoberranzan fighter, be a joke?

Even the head of the family, who had always been moody and angry, showed a surprised expression at this moment.

On the other hand, Midi, upon hearing Verna's words, couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in her heart——

The medicine is not in vain!
In the past two weeks, how many sixth-level and seventh-level medicines Midi refined for Verna, even he himself can't remember clearly, but it is conservatively estimated that there are at least twenty bottles.

Just put a bottle outside, there is a price but no market, but now, feeding Midi to the priestess is like feeding white water.

Not only that, but most of the materials were paid for by Midi himself.

If it were placed on a general alchemist, he would have gone bankrupt long ago.Only Midi can withstand Verna's blackmail.

In other words, having been extorted a lot, Midi no longer regards it as extortion, but instead regards it as investment.

And since it is an investment, of course the more the better.

Although I also doubted that all these high-level potions were all in vain, but now Verna's words immediately dispelled all Midi's hesitation.

Although this woman was extremely domineering, even more capricious than Galantis, but at the critical moment, she was indeed unambiguous.

As expected of a ruthless character who can become the high priest of the Death Scorpion family!

Originally, Midi planned to use indirect methods from time to time to find a way to lead the topic to the recommended quota of fighters.However, if he really did this himself, some traces would still be revealed after all.

But now, Verna understands and proactively raises this point, which completely eliminates all sequelae, and puts Midi in an undefeated and active position.

It can be said that this lightly joked sentence hit the vital point of the big scorpion, the scorpion of death!
Even the Patriarch, who has always been extremely deep in the city, suddenly fell into silence at this moment.

On the other hand, the law enforcement elder didn't have time to think deeply, but his expression sank, he glared at Verna, and said coldly: "Are you kidding? There are 100 genius warriors in our Death Scorpions. There are only five core disciples in the family. Which one has not been carefully selected and passed countless tests? Now, you want to let this human being who has only been in the family for two weeks become the core disciple of the family? How irresponsible! "

It's a pity that this is what Midi waited for.

The so-called "invincible position" means that only when stupid challengers come forward to attack can it be manifested.

"It seems that even if I worked hard to refine the seventh-level potion, even if I provided the family with mechanical design drawings, I, a human being, would still not be favored." Midi took the conversation with a sneer, "The position of the core child of the family is right. For me, it’s actually not necessary, but since we’re talking about it now, let’s not mention it, the qualifications of Menzoberranzan fighters are up to me to fight for in the selection.”

In an instant, the human youth who was as calm as an ancient well turned into a sharp long sword out of its sheath, showing its sharpness, making it impossible for people to refute.

The law enforcement elder showed a sneer, he wished that the young and energetic Midi would answer like this.

However, the Patriarch was lost in thought.

He is different from the law enforcement elders, he cannot oppose anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, on the contrary, the principle that a qualified patriarch must adhere to is to consider the interests of the family itself as the greatest consideration.

Does Midi help the Death Scorpion?
Of course, not to mention the two shocking mechanical design drawings, just because of the alchemy level that Midi can refine a seventh-level potion, he is worthy of the Death Scorpion family's great efforts to protect him.

Judging from the more than one-hour-long explanation of deciphering organs and magic circles just now, Midi is indeed extremely accomplished in this area.

It has protruded to the point where it can play a pivotal role in the exploration of Crystal Dragon Castle in the near future.

The Death Scorpion family has been peeping at the inheritance and treasures in Crystal Dragon Castle for a long time. It would be great if Midi could join the exploration team.

Of course, the Patriarch did not doubt that even if Midi was allowed to participate in the selection of Menzoberranzan fighters, he would still be able to stand out with a sword in his hand, and then also enter the Crystal Dragon Castle.

However, obtaining the fighter qualification after participating in the selection by oneself, and obtaining the fighter qualification after being recommended by the family are completely different things.

It's only been two weeks since Midi joined the Death Scorpion. It can be said that her loyalty to the family is almost zero.

But looking at it the other way around, it can also be said that the importance of the Death Scorpion to Midi is also almost zero!

In two weeks, the resources in Midi's hands and the status he obtained were actually obtained by his own ability. What he had with the family was not fetters and ties, but just a naked transaction.

This kind of transaction, he can do it with the Death Scorpion, why can't he do it with other families?
If even the Menzoberranzanian fighter qualifications were obtained by Meddy himself, then what use is the Death Scorpion to Meddy?

If a family loses help to its members, there will only be one result in the end.

That is to be directly abandoned by its members.

Of course, there is another more extreme approach, which is to kill Midi and prevent the technology possessed by Midi from being passed on.

However, when a family can't keep a genius but can only destroy it, the family itself is not far from extinction.

No patriarch would want a family that lasted for a thousand years to be ruined in his own hands, so this ambitious patriarch would never consider this aspect at all.

At this moment, when Midi showed strong rebound emotions, he had only one choice.

Just try my best to win over Midi.

He wants to let Midi taste the sweetness, and it is a big sweetness. He wants to give Midi enough benefits, so much that Midi will never be able to do without the death scorpion!

Only by doing so, can Midi be truly tied to the Death Scorpion's chariot, and become a part of its strong power!

In an instant, thousands of thoughts and countless possibilities ran through the head of the Patriarch, and finally, they turned into a simple sentence.

"If such a talent can't get a fighter quota, it's really unreasonable." The head of the family said calmly, and turned his attention to Midi in the center of the hall.

This time, it really happened.

There was a ripple of excitement in Midi's heart.

Studying and practicing in the psionic virtual space without sleep, planning layouts, guessing people's hearts, and offering a lot of potions to Verna, and finally relying on some luck, isn't it for this sentence?
The Patriarch of the Death Scorpion can also be regarded as scheming, but in front of Midi, a human nobleman, his thoughts are all expected.

However, how much thought did Midi spend on this simple word "as expected"?
Now, with the approval of the Patriarch, it can be said that the overall situation has been settled.

But on the surface, Midi still has to remain stubborn: "I'm just a newcomer. Although I came here for the fighter position, there's no need to recommend it..."

"No, I've made up my mind." The head of the family waved his hand and interrupted Midi's words, "You do have the qualifications to be recommended, and I also hope that you can become a Menzoberranzan warrior in advance .”

"If that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful." Midi bowed slightly again, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"It's too early to thank me now. Although I really hope that you can get the quota, after all, there is still an unbreakable tradition." The head of the family said again, "Midi Asrex, how dare you fight?" ?”

Quota challenge, this is the tradition of the Death Scorpion family and even most families in the Underdark region.

The recommended places for five fighters will initially be awarded to the five fighters with the most outstanding performance in the five years, making them the core children.

At this time, it was about two months ago, when Midi had just entered the Underdark Region and was running to get rid of her slave status.

The other 95 warriors can choose to participate in the selection of fighters in the whole city, or they can challenge the core disciples.

Of course, not everyone is qualified for this kind of challenge, but you need to obtain the approval of the family's senior management first, show your own skills or special contributions, and then you can be qualified for the challenge and go to challenge one of the five core children .

The winners will be promoted, while the losers will completely miss this session of the Black Dragon Conference.

Now, what the Patriarch opened his mouth to decide was only Midi's challenger qualification. He could not directly name and erase the fighter quota of a core child, but could only give Midi the right to fight.

No matter how much he tries to win over Midi, the Patriarch will not be able to break the rules because of this, this is inevitable.

However, this is enough for Midi.

The battlefield full of gunpowder will always belong to his home field.
