Netheril’s Glory-Chapter 85: Compensation from Elenka.

Realizing deception and clever tricks would not work with Punk, Elenka now directly began to plead to him by playing the moral card.

"Honorable Mage, this matter may be a terrible conspiracy against the city of Dolez.

A righteous and great mage like yourself will not let such evil spread freely, right? After all, the 150,000 people of Dolez city are in danger. Unfortunately, my incompetent Dokdo family does not have enough power to contribute to the protection of Dolez city. If you help the city of Dolez solve this matter, you will surely gain the goodwill of all the people of the Dolez city and, of course, our Dokdo family."

Elenka started to persuade Punk in a very sincere tone. Not only did she abruptly linked this matter with justice and kindness, but she also pulled in the safety of the entire city of Dolez. This kind of moral blackmail played by a damsel in distress could be said a tactful move, and those passionate young people from the lawful camp would definitely find it very hard to refuse her.

But, Punk wasn't moved at all. And this kind of moral blackmail was nothing but a boring joke in his eyes. But the mysterious Spider Cave had indeed piqued his interest! After all, if nothing, there was at least the valuable "legacy" of an official mage of Elenka's grandfather.

After repeatedly using prophecy spells, Punk confirmed that Elenka's grandfather had indeed disappeared in the spider cave. Also, the fact that even after using multiple official-level prophecy spells, he couldn't obtain more specific information proved the involvement of powers at the official level.

If an Official mage went out on an expedition, not to mention whether he had discovered any treasures or whether he was carrying some precious magic notes with him, his equipment alone would be of extreme value. Like how even a newly advanced mage, such as Punk himself, had an official-level golem with him, so no matter how poor an old eleventh-level mage was, he definitely won't be traveling with regular clothes.

Therefore, with the legacy of the missing mage as the assured profit, the proposal of exploring the Spider Cave was already very attractive to Punk in terms of interest.

But even if he disregarded the interests, this incident that obviously involved some official-level power suddenly appearing this close to him also made Punk uncomfortable. And this kind of low-key, soundless moves almost certainly indicated the brewing of a deep conspiracy.

So how could One sleep peacefully knowing that something potentially dangerous was present beside the bed? Punk simply couldn't ignore such hidden danger this close to him. Who knows if the enemy would hit his door suddenly when he was most unprepared, so from the perspective of solving hidden dangers, a trip to the spider cave was almost necessary.

"But...... It's one thing if I couldn't go out myself, and it's another thing if I don't slaughter the fat sheep delivered to my door."

Punk squinted slightly and looked at the anxious Elenka. He had always believed in one fact - which was Noble's wealth was like water in a sponge, so even if it was squeezed very hard, there was always some left. Now there was a desperate noble sitting across from him; how could he claim the title of "Sponge Squeezer" interest-seeking mage without squeezing out every last bit of oil and water from her?

Although Punk, "The Sponge Squeezer," had already made up his mind to explore the Spider Cave, but on the surface, he pretended not to be interested in it and said to Elenka expressionlessly,

"I'm sorry, Miss Elenka, although I really want to save the people of Dolez, but I am currently very busy with a crucial experiment. So I really don't have time to explore the spider cave, but a kind mage like myself, who is committed to eradicating evil, won't just ignore this matter; let me think about it... Mmmmm….Well……! I might be able to spare a little time after thirty years; then I will definitely go and eradicate this cave."

Punk didn't immediately deny Elenka's words. He just casually expressed a delaying mentality. For an official mage with a very long life span, thirty years was only a small amount of time, so it could not be called unreasonable to postpone something for "a little" time.

The subtext of this message was also obvious!

"I'm really interested in this spider cave, but if you can't come up with a decent reward, then I can wait 30 years to explore; your grandfather's legacy will not run away anyway, So it is not a problem for me to wait for 30 years, but with your life span, I don't know if you can wait for this long!"

Facing the indifferent and frank attitude of Punk, how could Elenka, who was the head of a noble family, fail to understand the hidden subtext, so she did not continue to argue in vain, knowing that if she could not take out an attractive remuneration, this young looking but ruthless mage would never help.

Elenka became quiet for a while, and only the poor Hult on the experimental platform made a few moans and wailings from time to time. Punk looked at Elenka, who was now silent, and both of them sat quietly at the dining table without saying anything.

There was a stalemate for 30 seconds in a silent state. Elenka, whose cheeks now reddened a little, seemed to have made up her mind. She took out a pink handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and her white teeth lightly bit down on her Lips.

Under the Punk's playful gaze, Elenka slowly stood up and walked near Punk.

There seemed to be some small mechanism on her clothes. When she gently pulled a ribbon, the whole gorgeous noble dress slowly fell to the ground, revealing an extremely beautiful naked body.

By this time, her meaning was already obvious.

"Lord Mage..."

Elenka's voice was so low that it could hardly be heard.

But Punk was still staring at Elenka's blushing face indifferently. There was no wave in his heart. It seemed that the person standing in front of him was not a beautiful and sexy woman, but just a pile of flesh and blood.

Punk picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip.

"Miss Elenka, if your so-called sincerity is nothing more than this... Then I have to say that the Dokdo family really disappointed me."

Punk responded indifferently to Elenka's behavior. According to Punk, this action of Elenka was an insult to his IQ.

Punk, who was dedicated to the pursuit of power and knowledge, was not interested in wasting time on meaningless mating activities, and if he really engaged in a relationship with Elenka, the official mage Punk Saian would by default become the shelter of the Dokdo family. After that, Not only did he not be able to squeeze the "oil and water" he initially expected, he even has to spend time and energy to solve the big problem of the spider cave for free as the backer of this family, Only a stupid person would accept this deal for just copulation.

Hearing Punk's answer, Elenka looked at Punk in a manner as if she was looking at a monster and even forgot to put on her clothes.

She couldn't believe it at all. She made up her mind to sell herself, but not only was she not accepted, but she was even ridiculed ruthlessly.

"Oh my god! Are these mages crazy, or is the world going crazy!"

It wasn't until standing naked for more than ten seconds that Elenka found out that her body did not have the slightest attraction to Punk. Although the butler had speculated this possibility based on the tempers of the mages before coming here, but when she really encountered it, she still suffered a certain degree of psychological trauma, and she could not help but standstill with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

After another period of awkward silence, Elenka blushed and slowly put on her clothes. For the first time, she felt this kind of humiliation, even when she abandoned all her pride and decided to sell her body; not only did she not received a good price, but she was not even looked at.

It took a long time for Elenka, who already sat back at the table to calm down her mixed feelings, and also finally figured out that if there were no substantial benefits that pleased Punk, then the Dokdo family could forget about receiving any help from this mage.

Staring at Punk's face that was half-hidden by the shadow of the hood for a long time, Elenka finally sighed helplessly. This desperate girl could now only take out the last bargaining chip that the Dokdo family could afford.
