Volume 2 The Northward Journey of the Yiren Chapter 12 Etiquette of the Aristocrats

"You ... How can so many people be religious?" Alvin digressed.

"Hey, they advertise theirs, we live ours, and no one gets in the way of whom. The shopkeeper replied.

Alvin nodded, his attitude towards the church was very similar to that of the people in these towns, "Why is this town so lively? It always feels like it's different from the towns I've seen before?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Alvin with a smile, then moved his eyes out the window and looked at the gloomy forest, "Of course it's lively, the things produced in there are the first to be sold here." ”

"It's so dangerous in there, and there are still people to go?"

"People die for money, and it always takes a bold person to dare to go to the depths of the dense forest. ”

"For what?"

"You can do anything, like some precious ingredients for potions, or go in and catch some live monsters. The shopkeeper said.

"Monsters, you mean the cat people?" Alwyn thought of the slavers he had seen on the street.

"Cat people, cat people are the lowest, you don't have to go into the woods to catch them. The shopkeeper said disdainfully.

"And what else?" Alvin asked.

"Can you only catch cat people in the south now?" The shopkeeper had some surprise and some joy on his face, obviously seeing an opportunity for Alvenkop.

"And what are you guys all about?" Alwyn asked at his words.

"In the past few years, they have been conch horses, ice and fire camels, and they can catch one or two in a month. The shopkeeper opened his chatterbox with a smile on his face, "It's relatively rare, like a two-headed unicorn, you can only see one in a year or two." ”

Hearing the unfamiliar names of "Conch Horse, Ice and Fire Camel, and Two-Headed Kirin", Alwin hesitated, not knowing what expression to use to deal with, so that in the end he only nodded slightly, and coped with it, without showing much shock. After all, he had already fought with terrifying monsters such as the Two-Legged Wyvern and the Juling Ice Dragon, and it was difficult for him to make a very interested expression at this time.

The shopkeeper saw Alwin's calm face, a little lost, and thought: "Also, in the end, it is a ruthless person who killed monsters all the way, and he may have seen these other parties, maybe he has also killed, and may have killed a lot, but he is embarrassed to refute his face at this time." ”

However, Alvin finally gave face, and asked with a smile: "I have never heard of you saying this, old shopkeeper, what is this conch horse? What is the ice and fire camel? And this two-headed unicorn, why is it so rare?"

When the shopkeeper heard Alwin ask like this, he smiled again, and regardless of whether Alwin really wanted to ask or not, he explained happily: "Young man, let me tell you, this conch horse, but it is very interesting, it usually looks like a conch shell hunched on the back of a white horse, and at night, it will shrink into the shell and go to sleep, no matter how it screams, it can't wake up." ”

"You mean you can't ride at night?"

"I can't usually ride it, I have that big thing on my back, how can I sit on it?"

"Then why did you buy it?" said Alvin with a smirk.

"Pull the cart. Isn't this thing too majestic to pull a cart?" said the shopkeeper, "Those nobles, when they go out, if they take a conch-drawn car, how magnificent is that?"

After speaking, the shopkeeper squinted his eyes and glanced at Alwin, "According to the old man, Your Excellency, you are also a nobleman, right?"

"Can you tell the old man, what is the title now, or has he not inherited the title of the family yet?"

Alvin smiled noncommittally and didn't say much.

"I've never seen such a beautiful person in my life. The old shopkeeper sighed, then raised his drooping eyes again, and asked curiously: "Then it's strange, what are you doing in that mountain range?"

"It's a coincidence. Alvin smiled and prevaricated, "Heh, why did it get to me, you haven't finished talking about it just now, what are the ice and fire camels and two-headed unicorns?"

"Oh, the Ice and Fire Camel, it looks like a camel in appearance, but it has two humps, one as cold as ice, and the other as hot as a soldering iron that has been roasted by fire. The old shopkeeper's interest in Alwin at this time clearly outweighed his enthusiasm for introducing him to these monsters.

"Then this thing can't sit on people, why don't you think the monsters you have caught are not very practical?" Alvin naturally knew what the shopkeeper was going to interrogate, so he vigorously opened the topic, "What about the two-headed unicorn?

"You can't always think of using these monsters as animals," the shopkeeper muttered, and he was still a little absent-minded in his speculation about the identities of these two young men, "I've also heard that the monsters caught in some places can learn to speak." ”

"Parrots?" asked Alwyn solemnly.

"Hey, your Excellency, you really like to tell jokes," the shopkeeper was amused by Alwin, "he said he had the face of a goat, but he walked on two legs, and not long after he was bought by a nobleman, word came that the monster had learned to speak human language." ”

Alwyn thought of the leopard people, and he thought to himself that if he spent time with them, they would soon learn some of the human language. "From time to time, there are people in this town who go to hunt monsters in the dense forest, and the monsters who live in it must be quite hateful to humans. "No wonder you can still see wine bottles inside, these people must have brought them in." ”

"Then you're so busy here because there are merchants selling monsters waiting here?" Alwyn asked.

"Isn't it, except for the merchants who come and go, you see, those idle mercenaries on the street are waiting to fill the gap in the demon hunting team. There are also many thieves hiding in the shadows, specifically targeting merchants who bring money to buy monsters. The people of the church have only started to come in the past few years. The shopkeeper said.

"Are they really just here to preach?" Alvin thought that the Light Orthodox Church had always coveted those fallen crystals, so could these churches in the north have this motive as well?

"What else could there be?" the shopkeeper looked at Alvin in bewilderment.

Alvin didn't discuss the subject any further, but got up and walked to the window, admiring the bard's singing, "This bard's is quite interesting. ”

The group of missionaries, nuns, and priests who had just been caught up in the confrontation had long since left, and some of the people were still gathered around the bard, listening in revel to the sound of the harp and the song.

"Interesting fart, this guy, his eyes light up when he sees a girl, is there any girl in this town who hasn't been molested by him?"

For some reason, the old shopkeeper suddenly lost his demeanor and spoke rudely.

Alvin glanced at the girl who was still waiting in the middle, and thought to himself that the bard probably usually molested other people's daughters.

At this time, Onien finally changed her dress.

"Wow, girl, you are so beautiful!" said the shopkeeper's daughter, who saw Onian come out of the fitting room. She covered her mouth with her hands, not wanting her screams to look too rude.

Even though Alwin was accustomed to Onien's thrilling charm, he still had to admire that she could easily handle such a dress. This is a typical country girl style, the upper body of the dress is a simple ivory waist shirt, and the two cuffs have a folded design, which looks quite fashionable. The lower half is a skirt with an ink bottom, covered with a brown diagonal skirt, and the overall line looks concise and bright. After putting it on, Oneen had a fresh girlish breath on his face, and even he could imagine her wearing this dress whirling and dancing in the green fields and on the ridges.

"I picked and chosen, and I didn't particularly like it, there were just a few samples in the store. Onian looked at Alvin and said helplessly. But the woman's duplicity is like this, obviously her face is satisfied, but her mouth is another statement.

Alvin wasn't the kind of person to hold back, and he didn't offer any exaggerated praise, but the appreciation in his eyes was clearly captured by the shrewd old shopkeeper.

"Then this one. When you wait, I feel like time is slowing down. Alwyn said, then he turned to the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper how much the clothes were.

"It's three hundred and twenty looneys. The old shopkeeper had a smile on his face.

This smile reminded Alwyn of the old man who sold his staff in the "Lu Zheng" equipment store, "Why are these old guys staring at me alone? Are they bullying me for being kind or what?"

At the same time, he also scolded: "Did this guy secretly rummage through my money bag when I was changing clothes, how does he know that I don't have four hundred looneys left?"

O'Ann noticed the embarrassment on Alvin's face, and roughly guessed what was going on. A hint of shame also appeared on One's own cheeks, and it was the first time in a princess's life that she had no money to pay the bill. She was a princess who never had to worry about money, and after she was exiled, she always had Alvin by her side, so she didn't have to worry about this problem. But the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that the two of them would be inexplicably swept to the north in the fight with the ice dragon.

But thanks to the black fog, it didn't sweep away Alwin's money, and if that were the case, it would be an unimaginable embarrassment right now.

"Or ... Before Onian could speak, the words were blocked back by Alwin's crisp gesture of paying.

In the spirit of aristocratic etiquette, Alvin quietly ordered a stack of Looney and put it on the counter, without even paying the price.

The old shopkeeper nodded and smiled, and asked his daughter to count it with his eyes.

Alvin took Aonien's hand and left the store without looking back downstairs.

"There's no money. Not long after he was out, Alvin said in an annunciatory tone, as if the country's finance minister was making a statement to the king.

"I know. O'Ann laughed heartlessly at Alwin's thoughtful tone, as if she had forgotten her predicament in a blink of an eye, "So what to do?"

"What can I do?" Alvin turned his face to look at her, "find a way to earn it." ”

So the two asked around, but they didn't expect that there was really a painting material store in this town.
