Chapter 75. JoJo! I Don't Want to Be a Cursemancer!
"JoJo!"
Joey shouted excitedly, but the Goblin did not respond to his voice. There was only the Soul-forming Grass in his eyes!
Despite his thin arms and legs, his explosive speed was not low, and he actually charged toward Char.
If it was an ordinary person, they might really be stuck to this guy and then suck their fingers desperately.
However, Char knew his temper like the back of his hand. The moment he got up, he clenched his five fingers into a fist and smashed it toward him.
"I was wrong!"
JoJo fully displayed the Goblin's fear. His originally ferocious grunting turned into a curled up body kneeling in the air. When he landed, he knelt down firmly.
No matter how many times Char saw him, he could not believe that this was the most talented Alchemist in the Goblin race.
Even though he was really a master, he did not have the aura of a master at all.
"JoJo! You're alive!"
In a moment of excitement, Joey rushed over and hugged JoJo, tears glimmering in his eyes. The Half-elf was full of emotions. His feelings for the Goblin were not entirely due to the Goblin's ability, but because of the deep friendship between the two.
"Joey, you're strangling me! Quickly, let go! Let go!"
JoJo struggled to break free from Joey's grip and wrinkled his nose.
"Stupid! Is your brain filled with sh*t? How many times have I told you that the [Magic Drink] is a recipe you'll never learn in your life? Why didn't you believe me? How can your fingers, which are thicker than carrots, accurately grab the Magic Jasmine Extract? Even your hair is heavier than a medicine spoon, and your hands are sweating!"
Joey scratched his head in embarrassment, not daring to say a word.
"Do you really think you're capable of doing that? You actually want to secretly concoct your precious potion behind my back? Oh, and the icicle spell! I was wondering why there were ice shards in my ears other than my earwax! Are you trying to kill me and then go solo? Is it because the powder has emptied your little treasure vault, and you are dissatisfied with me?"
"No, no, JoJo, this is a misunderstanding."
"Are you trying to fool me with the same trick you used to fool women? Am I as gullible as those women?"
"Of course not!"
"Then why did you still say that you're not lying to me?"
"I'm...!"
Char had to knock on the door to show his presence, and he pointed to the door behind him.
"There's such a huge commotion. The elemental puppets will come to check on the situation soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy footsteps of the rock puppet came from the corridor.
"Ah, JoJo, quickly hide!"
"Hmph, where are you going to hide?"
"Same as before!"
"F*ck you!"
The Goblin cursed as he jumped onto the table next to him. He opened the lid of a transparent glass jar filled with green liquid and jumped in.
With a stem in his mouth, he turned around in the dark green liquid above his head and remained still, pretending to be a specimen.
Char put the door back in place and stuck the icicle into the door.
When the rock puppet heard the commotion and came to check, it knocked on the door and opened it. In front of it was an Elementalist Joey Jones, who was humbly asking for advice and explaining the casting technique of the icicle spell.
"What's the matter?" Joey looked over.
The puppet entered the room, and the sensor crystal on its head scanned the room. Char even took the initiative to remove the door, indicating that there was no problem. It then turned around and left with big steps.
Joey heaved a sigh of relief. He opened the glass jar and pulled JoJo out. Then, he raised his hand to summon a towel to help him wipe his body clean.
It was a harmonious picture of a loving elder brother wiping the body of his dwarfism younger brother.
The Goblin's eyes were still on Char's fingers, which were stained with the Soul-forming Grass powder.
Char rubbed his fingers. "What do you think? Is the purity enough for you?"
JoJo's face revealed a look of reminiscence and he slowly shook his head.
"This isn't just a matter of purity. Where did you get such a high-quality mystical powder?"
Joey was mainly in charge of running errands while JoJo was the one who made the decisions most of the time.
The latter was worthy of his talent as a master Alchemist. Both Maica and Franco had said that he was more cunning than them at his peak, and that he had a very high intelligence.
According to the original plot, Andrew was caught and found to be carrying a large amount of soul-forming grass powder. When the news reached Joey's ears, he took the initiative to find Andrew. Not only did he release the round-faced merchant, but he also spent a lot of money to purchase this batch of mystical powder, which gave Andrew enough capital to compete in the auction.
However, there was a middleman in the deal, and Char would gain benefits from both sides.
"Of course, it's from Aurania. Other than that place, where else can I find such high-quality Soul-forming Grass?"
Char laughed.
Nonsense, who did not know that the hometown of Soul-forming Grass was in Aurania?
JoJo's large eyes clearly showed disdain. He could tell that Char was just trying to stall for time, but he did not expose her.
"Tell me, how much do you have?"
"500g."
"You have that many?" JoJo was shocked. He broke free from the towel and jumped in front of Char.
"I want to inspect the goods."
Char threw out a pack. He had prepared this before he left the workshop, and it was less than one percent of a barrel.
This thing could only be sold at a high price in the hands of Goblins, and it was an amazing profit.
JoJo skillfully hooked out a little bit of it, sniffed it and then licked it. His actions were even more professional than when he was concocting the medicine.
"This purity is shocking! What do you want?"
"A lot, we'll talk about it slowly."
Char looked at Joey and said, "I would like to ask Joey to help me become an Elementalist. Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm still a level 20 Cursemancer."
"It's not a difficult thing," Joey shrugged and said. "But are you sure you want to convert all the magic in your body?" This would be a huge waste."
"I'm sure"
"Alright, I can help you retain about 80% of your magic power."
This meant that only 80% of the experience gained from investing in a Cursemancer would be retained. This had not changed. Char estimated that he was about level 18, just a little bit away from his goal.
"Then, I also want your 'Spell Research Notes' and the runestone for 'Level 5 Ice Casket Spell'.
Joey frowned and JoJo looked over.
Joey immediately changed his words, "Here! Not a problem! As long as JoJo is satisfied, I will give you anything you want!"
"That's it." Char smiled.
Spell Research Notes was an experience book, and he could get about 50000 experience in a day. As for the runestone, it was for the purpose of directly learning the skill.
At this point, the basic purpose of this trip had been achieved, and Char snapped her fingers.
"Now, let's talk about serious business."
