Only by putting yourself on an equal footing with His Majesty the King, whose strength and status are both superhuman, can you reach good terms of exchange and prevent yourself from falling into a disadvantage.
Only then can we gain initiative that is truly effective and not superficial.
Mogan, who is well versed in human connections, knows this very well.
It's okay to say that I really don't want to lose face. As a businessman, owing too many favors is like writing a blank check to others, with no limit on the amount.
If the favor is not enough, you will feel uncomfortable anyway - it is better to make preparations in advance and attack the city first.
Mogan was very satisfied with his move, so it was natural. But this is still not the main reason.
It can not only reasonably integrate into His Majesty the King's investigation process of real history, obtain information that is difficult not to be curious about, but also understand the content in a logical way.
It is not difficult for Mo Gan to just use his brain to think and use his mouth to help.
In the process, you don't even need to reveal your excessive curiosity or reasonable thirst for knowledge. You can deceive... and obtain information from His Majesty the King just for the reason of "complete the mission."
Of course, there is no need for His Majesty the King to witness this cunning trick in person.
After the king finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, Mo Gan went through the process of interest analysis, had the conclusion in mind, and then brought the topic to the current point.
It's very simple and the results are as expected.
Lucifer hesitated for a moment and thought it made sense. He believed what Morgan said. Considering that he needed help, he agreed.
"I trust your ability to communicate. However, some of your methods are rather special. If you want to use similar deception methods, you can discuss it with me in advance."
Although he knew that Lucifer was definitely not referring to the situation just now, Morgan still felt a little guilty and then agreed smoothly.
After completely discussing the matter that had been on his mind for a long time, Lucifer's mood improved visibly, and Mo was willing to take advantage of the opportunity and took out a piece of paper from his arms.
- That's the letter Robbie received, something that might have Everest's magic.
Now that the crisis situation has been resolved, it is time to meet the great magician of Cole Kingdom who was everywhere before the incident, but for some unknown reason never showed up when the emergency occurred.
Of course, Mogan did not forget that the King in front of him, who had just reached an exchange with him, was also a talented mage who could find traces through other people's magical creations.
The unpredictable and heart-stopping mixed spell was his original creation. Mogan had never heard of it before, so the great magician would not be well prepared for it.
"If it's convenient, I would like to ask you to do me a small favor - I want to use this piece of paper to find the person who used magic to leave ink writing on it."
"There is no need to call me teacher." Lucifer immediately corrected him, "For my plan, too much shaping of interpersonal relationships is not good. You... just be casual."
He guessed that he had given up on his first goal of getting Morgan to stop using honorifics at all.
However, His Majesty the King always adheres to the principle of helping others and does not hold grudges. He took the letter and tore off the corners of the right size without affecting the most important part. What he took out were all magical products.
He must have seen the word "magic" that occasionally appeared on the letter. Although he didn't pay much attention to the details, Lucifer still asked casually.
"Who are you looking for? Is it the mind magician?"
He was still worried about this matter.
"Everist."
Mo Gan made it clear that when it came to this point, there was no need to make any unnecessary concealments.
But he didn't expect that when he heard that Mogan was going to go find this person directly, Lucifer suddenly paused when he was about to cast a spell, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Okay... um."
Noticing Lucifer's short-term change, Morgan also found it quite interesting.
"Do you know anything else about the great magician of the Cole Kingdom?"
There was no unnecessary reaction when he mentioned it, and he wasn't too surprised when he talked about it. Now that he said that he would use magic to find him and find a way to meet him, Lucifer seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"It's not a big deal." Lucifer shook his head slightly, "It's just that the great magician has a special personality and is different in getting along with him. I don't know if you understand."
Mogan naturally knows a little bit.
"I don't know that." But he didn't need to draft his lie.
"If I had to describe it, maybe he was a little over-enthusiastic?" Lucifer frowned slightly, "He seems to be a very talkative person."
After thinking about it, he probably felt that his description was not detailed enough and not convincing enough, so Lucifer continued to add.
"Everist has extremely strong abilities and is still young, as I have said before. We can be regarded as mages of the same age. Although we don't know each other well, we have had contact with him."
This is a result beyond Mogan's imagination.
Everest is a strange person in the eyes of most people in the royal capital, but the description used is basically not "enthusiastic".
Except...a certain kind of people.
Thinking of this, Mogan's eyes, which had also gone through that experience, gradually became strange. He glanced at His Majesty the King who was concentrating on casting spells for a moment, knowing that he had found the target.
The magic was successful and the king was a little surprised.
"He's really around here!"
And the direction indicated was right along the edge of the beach. The two of them walked in tandem, with Mogan walking behind in the footsteps of His Majesty the King, with his peripheral vision looking at the setting sun in the distance at the sea level.
However, there was no visual change in his line of sight for a long time, but Lucifer suddenly raised his hand and blocked Mogan's way.
"There's something ahead."
Mo Gan looked ahead. As far as the naked eye could see, there was still an endless stretch of beach. The seams between the waves and the beach formed winding and dynamic lines, with constant ups and downs. There was no difference.
But Lucifer's expression, with a solemn expression, told him that there was indeed something fishy going on ahead.
"Everist should be right in front. There is a barrier there." Lucifer raised his hand and pointed forward. "It can block external sight."
"Transfiguration again?"
Lucifer nodded naturally.
His Majesty the King has a mature sense of self-improvement, and his actions naturally don't stop there. He added an external invisibility spell to himself and Mo Gan, and at the same time concealed his aura, and then called Mo Gan to go forward together.
Even a simple "Don't say anything" is replaced by a convenient magic. It is simply an all-round considerate service without any blind spots.
After entering the space created by other people's transfiguration, Morgan realized that the situation was definitely not what he had imagined at first, without even having time to observe the surrounding environment.
The process in Morgan's imagination should be that he found Everest, revealed his known identity, verified some of the things he had done face to face, and pried out the information from the great magician.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is more complicated, even making the original "ideal" seem thin.
Because there is more than one person in the protective shield.
There is also a back view.
After wandering around using other people's faces and names for a long time, Everest finally revealed his true face.
There are many mages who can use magic to keep themselves young forever, and he is just one of them.
Fortunately, Everest is handsome and worthy, but at over a hundred years old, he still maintains a young face of eighteen or nineteen, which really makes people don't know what to say.
The blond hair is not very neat, but it is fluffy and lush, which is an obvious advantage. His blue eyes are staring at the other person confronting him with a cold light.
This transfiguration barrier is quite large. Although he can only see his back clearly from a distance, Mo Gan can find another important point.
The person confronting Everest had half-length black curly hair - if not for coincidence and coincidence, that was exactly the person controlling him as described by Fleming's boss.
