Chapter 77 Borrow
The Scarlet Wizard was just a wizarding apprentice.
Even with the help of sharks, the amount of things she can collect and carry in the water is very limited.
Moreover, when actually chasing prey, ordinary sharks simply cannot keep up with Andy's speed.
If the harvest were placed on the backs of ordinary sharks, these ordinary sharks would be highly likely to be preyed upon by other predators, and the Crimson Wizard's harvest would also be lost.
Moreover, even if these harvests are not plundered, as they are soaked in water, the "mystery" contained within the unprocessed harvests will also dissipate in the water, greatly diminishing their value.
But it would be different if you could bring a storage bag.
Even if the storage bag is already filled with a lot of things and the remaining space is limited, for the Crimson Wizard, this can still increase her carrying capacity by ten times or even dozens of times!
When the time comes, whatever you find, you can just stuff it directly into your storage bag and then process it all together back on the ship.
The time and effort saved, along with the increased carrying capacity, combined, could increase the Scarlet Wizard's gains from this voyage by ten or even a hundred times.
However, as soon as she reached out her hand, the Crimson Wizard sensed something was amiss.
Storage bags are an extremely precious item.
Even if her earnings from going into business increased tenfold or a hundredfold, their value might not even match that of a storage bag.
—What if the Thunder Wizard in front of her suspects that she is trying to run away with the storage bag as she raises her hand to take it?
How can she convince the Thunder Wizard in front of her to believe in her?
Will this storage bag cause conflict between me and the Thunder Wizard, or even lead to a direct battle?
The moment these chaotic thoughts popped into her head, they immediately swept over the Scarlet Wizard's entire body, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
She certainly didn't want to have a conflict with the Thunder Wizard in front of her—and even less did she want to fight him.
After all, the Thunder Wizard before them, with his personality and character, was a truly rare and valuable partner—and the 'competence' he displayed in battle was indeed quite frightening.
However, since the act of borrowing the storage bag has already been made, wouldn't suddenly withdrawing it make the Thunder Wizard in front of him even more suspicious?
The Scarlet Wizard was in a state of panic and had no idea what to do.
Before the Scarlet Wizard, Loon, who understood the Scarlet Wizard's actions, fell silent for a moment.
That's so presumptuous of me.
To put it bluntly, even now, the most precious thing Luo Ang has is still that storage bag.
But the Crimson Wizard reached out and tried to borrow the storage bag... If she didn't come back, the loss to Loang would be unimaginable.
Almost instinctively, Loon wanted to refuse the Crimson Wizard's request.
But before he could utter the words of refusal, Luo Ang abruptly cut him off.
Without a doubt, his relationship with the Scarlet Wizard has reached a critical turning point.
If they refuse to lend out the storage bag, the two of them will not fall out now, but there will definitely be a rift between them—and this rift will grow bigger and bigger until they eventually go their separate ways.
Is it worth parting ways with the Scarlet Wizard just to avoid the risk of having your storage bag stolen?
Without a doubt, it's not worth it!
The Scarlet Wizard didn't just find out about Loon's storage bag now—before this, she had never shown any covetousness towards it.
Loen is very satisfied with such a person as a partner on the path of wizardry, at least for now.
After parting ways with the Scarlet Wizard, Loon couldn't guarantee whether he would find a better partner.
—From the orchid wizard, we learned that this plane is now ruled by those conservative wizards.
Most of them are suspicious and greedy, making them far from ideal partners.
In other words, it is truly rare to find someone as honest and receptive to advice as the Scarlet Wizard, who also has no desire for Loon's possessions.
The current situation leaves Luo Ang with little room or time for further reflection.
Once he determined that the Scarlet Wizard was "necessary" as a partner, he quickly made his decision.
Can I borrow this storage bag?
借！
But it cannot be lent out directly.
After all, Luo Ang's other wealth was hidden inside that storage bag.
Five magic stones.
Two hundred and sixty-two magic stone fragments.
Seven spell scrolls.
If it's just a simple storage bag, serving only a convenient purpose, then so be it—no matter how valuable, it's merely wealth on paper, difficult to convert into actual resources.
However, if these precious resources are brought together, their overall value and allure become completely different.
Luo Ang could gamble with this storage bag, but he wouldn't dare gamble with the storage bag plus these resources. Besides, such a gamble would be completely meaningless.
Loon stood up and shook his head at the Scarlet Wizard, seemingly intending to refuse the Scarlet Wizard's request, just as the Scarlet Wizard had expected.
Just as the Scarlet Wizard was about to explain that this was just an "accident" and not that she had any designs on Loon's storage bag, Loon's voice rang out.
"Don't rush."
"The storage bag is already quite full; there's not much space left."
"Wait here for me, I'll go empty the things out of the storage bag."
With that, Luo Ang got up and went back to his room.
First, he took out five magic stones and two hundred and sixty-two magic stone fragments and put them into the drawer.
Fortunately, the properties of these magic stones and magic stone fragments are very stable. If the power within them is not activated, they are no different from real stones.
Then there were the seven spell scrolls, which Loon carefully kept close to his body.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Ang took out his diary and placed it on the desk.
Finally, there were the items brought out from the Scarlet Wizard's stronghold, packed in boxes.
"Take it." On the deck, the Crimson Wizard was still waiting, looking both surprised and at a loss. She seemed completely taken aback that Loon would actually lend her the storage bag, and worried that Loon was deliberately making fun of her.
In this moment of bewilderment, Loon returned to the deck, lent the storage bag to the Crimson Wizard, and told her the 'mental code' to open it.
"Alright, go ahead, and remember to bring back a good harvest." Seeing that the Crimson Wizard still looked bewildered, Loon patted the Crimson Wizard on the shoulder again.
"Thunder Wizard, are you willing to believe me?" The Crimson Wizard looked at the storage bag in his hand, looking at it again and again, and then used his mental power to open and close the storage bag repeatedly, his face still full of disbelief.
"Crimson, we've been companions who've supported each other on the path of wizardry!" Loen said in a deep voice.
It would have been better if he hadn't said those words; as soon as he did, the Scarlet Wizard's eyes turned red.
"Thunder Wizard, I, Chilis, will never betray your trust." The Crimson Wizard stared at Lo Ang, retreating step by step, and then fell into the waves with a backward tilt, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
