Chapter 159: There is little evil
Chapter 159: There is little evil
"Looks like she didn't lie to me, brother, let's go" Ariel pulled Ayton's arm a little impatiently.
"Don't worry, we have time today"
Although the city is bustling, the wide streets do not seem crowded at all, after all, there are no cars passing by in this era, and the population density is far from that level.
Two handsome men and women looked around the street, and they were dazzled by the variety of goods.
While strolling around, Ayton's eyes suddenly fixed on a small stall with many girls' accessories neatly arranged.
The stall owner was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with freckles on her face, who seemed too shy to shout loudly, and no one stopped in front of the stall.
"Ariel, come over here" Ayton walked over
Ariel poked out her neck curiously and looked at the ornaments of the colorful flower door: "Buy me a gift?"
"yes, which ones do you like? I'll buy them all. Ayton carefully looked at these things, they were all made of the most ordinary materials, but the workmanship was very exquisite, I don't know if it was made by the girl in front of him.
The freckled girl saw the two of them approaching and whispered, "Please look at it as you like." ”
If it weren't for Ayton's keen hearing, he wouldn't know what she was talking about, but he just smiled and nodded: "These ornaments are very beautiful, did you make them?"
In such times, there were no bulky mechanical gears, and pure handicraft production occupied the vast majority.
"It's... Yes, this... It's okay. ”
The freckled girl blushed and lowered her head, her voice as thin as a mosquito's voice.
"Brother, which one do you think is good-looking?" Ariel next to her looked left and right, stunned and didn't know which one to choose.
In the dark cave, she doesn't bring any ornaments, she just ties her silver hair directly with a string to ensure that her vision is not obstructed.
At this time, her only decoration was the two black hair bundles that Ayton had bought for her in Black Rock City.
Eventually, Ayton's gaze rested on a butterfly hairpin with interlaced black and purple patterns...
Through solid forging experience, he could easily see that it was a combination of obsidian and amethyst, which had been polished for a long time.
The color is beautiful, the texture is hard, and its black and purple hue adds a strange beauty to the wearer.
"That's it, how much?" Ayton said, pointing to the butterfly hairpin.
"This..."The freckled girl saw him at a glance and took a fancy to her most proud work, her eyes showed a touch of pride, but she was a little reluctant in her heart, this was a proud work that she had worked so hard to make, and she was going to sell it on the first day...
"Five gold coins" The girl finally quoted the price carefully, in fact, she didn't know the market of the jewelry, and the price was set by her according to her own standards.
Unexpectedly, Ayton directly took out ten gold coins and put them on the stall.
"Don't look for it, it's worth the price. ”
The freckled girl was just about to open her mouth, but was blocked by Ayton's words, and finally could only accept the gold coin gratefully.
"Come on, I'll bring it to you"
Ayton asked Ariel to turn her back and put it on for her with her own hands, the fragrance of her hair inhaled into her nose, and soon there was a purple-black butterfly hairpin in her soft hair, Ariel's temperament was sublimated at this moment, and even the freckle stall owner showed envious eyes.
"Brother, how's it going?" Ariel shook her head, her cheeks flushing slightly.
At this moment, she is no longer the dark elf assassin who frightened countless knights of the Ford family at the beginning, but a young beautiful girl who expects to be appreciated by her lover.
"Very good, or my Ariel is the most beautiful!" Ayton praised unabashedly.
Ariel smiled with satisfaction, her bright eyes bent into two crescents, her body moved closer to Ayton, and she whispered, "Is that me pretty, or is that blue coco pretty?"
"Of course you're prettier, in my heart, she's never as good as you"
Sure enough, no matter what woman is, there will be a desire to compare beauty, especially behind the other party or a woman who is about the same appearance as herself...
"It's pretty much the same" Ariel let him go contentedly, and no matter how many times she heard the compliments of her beloved man, she would never get tired of it.
Some passers-by were amazed by Ariel's beautiful appearance, and stopped from a distance to watch the two close siblings, including a noble young master with a bad face.
"Via, long time no see, today you actually set up a stall here? Is your father's leg healed? Do you want me to call the priest to release some healing magic?"
A young nobleman with a shiny face, followed by ten family guards, walked over with an arrogant and domineering face, and his words of concern sounded full of mockery and malice.
When the freckled girl saw this noble young master coming, her body trembled unconsciously, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.
"Master Jeff... Why are you here, it's a coincidence, I'm just about to close the stall."
As Via spoke, she hurriedly cleaned up the stall in front of her, and put a lot of jewelry into the cloth bag.
Jeff's face sank suddenly, and he quickened his pace: "Stop, who told you to leave now!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ayton silently pulled Ariel to the side to wait and see what was going on.
Via's face turned pale, she stopped her movements, and swept her eyes to the crowd around her like a help, while the pedestrians who had just stopped turned away as if they didn't see it, and in the end, she could only focus on the two Ayton who had not yet left.
Ayton took a step back again with a blank face, he was not the kind of rotten good person who stepped forward to seek justice when he saw others being bullied.
In this kind of Huangyao, where the forces are mixed, it is better for him to be cautious.
Jeff glanced at Ayton and the others, and saw that they had no intention of leaving or coming out, and a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes.
walked to the front of the stall, held down the jewelry that Wei Ya was about to take away with one hand, and admired Wei Ya's frightened expression with a smile.
"Wei Ya, your father and my father are also old acquaintances, and we are also considered equals, why?
"Jeff, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today, I'd better go first, let's talk about something later. Via turned her head, not wanting to see his disgusting face.
"Again, I don't know how many times I've heard this sentence, don't try to escape my palm today" Jeff smiled playfully, and his right hand gestured towards Via's cheek.
Via took a disgusting step back, only to anger Jeff.
With a swipe, he suddenly picked up a handful of ornaments and threw them at Via's face, the sharp hairpin hit her freckled cheek, and the fiery pain almost made her tears fall from her eyes.
"Cheap-people, I don't know what to do, your family has completely declined, and you still dare to show Lao Tzu's face, are you really still the former lady of the Chamber of Commerce?"
"......" Wei Ya gritted her teeth, stood in place and did not dare to resist, and a sense of helplessness and despair came to her heart.
"Still pretending to be dumb, very good, you all smash Lao Tzu, see if she dares to give face to Young Master Ben" Babbitt was not satisfied, and instructed ten of his subordinates to ruthlessly smash this small stall.
"Don't! don't smash me!" Via was completely panicked at this moment, regardless of the fact that these were all her own efforts, and at the same time, they were also a lot of her wealth.
Now that the family business is bankrupt, various loan sharks come to collect debts, my father's legs and feet are inconvenient, and his savings are almost to the point where there is no oil and rice to cook, and it is estimated that he will be driven to live in the southern district soon.
It's a pity that she, an ordinary woman, can't resist the ten guards with a fighting spirit at all, regardless of her obstruction, a crackling sound sounded one after another, the exquisite jewelry was smashed to the ground, and Wei Ya, who was pushed to the ground, finally couldn't help sobbing.
"Let's go, leave this alone"
Ayton frowned slightly, sighed in his heart, and turned his back, since the Asahi Mountain Range, although he didn't care on the surface, he didn't want to lend a helping hand for no reason in his heart.
Ariel tilted her head to show a strange smile, and muttered in a low voice, "Brother, I thought you would make another move?"
Ayton turned white at her: "Do you think I look like that kind of good person?"
"Of course you're not a good person," Ariel said as a matter of course.
Ayton: "......"
Ariel looked at Ayton's depressed expression with a coquettish smile, and wanted to add: "But you are very gentle with most women, especially young and beautiful women. ”
Ayton couldn't help but tap lightly on the back of her head in an instant: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that kind of person." ”
Ariel rubbed the back of her slightly aching head, and said weakly: "Cut, I didn't talk nonsense, just forget if you don't admit it." ”
The two of them didn't take a few steps, they didn't deliberately lower the voice in their mouths, and soon the commanding voice of the young master came from behind them.
"You two, stop for Young Master Ben!"
A gloom flashed in Ayton's eyes, pretending not to hear and continuing to walk forward, if this kind of character had to find death, then it would be a different matter.
Seeing that the two people didn't respond, Jeff instantly showed a grim face, and ordered his guards to ignore the crying Via, and run to the front to stop the two people.
After a while, the family guards blocked the way of Ayton and the others, of course, this was the result of Ayton's deliberate failure to escape.
Jeff walked slowly from behind, with a little coldness on his face, and gave the two of them a slight aristocratic courtesy.
"Is there anything you two are in such a hurry to leave?"
Ayton glanced at him with an expressionless face, and said lightly, "What's the matter?"
The flat tone didn't give him face as a noble young master, and Jeff's tone couldn't help but increase a little: "It's nothing, I just want to get to know the next two, look at the outfits of the two, you came to the imperial capital from a remote area, right?"
You're talking to me again... Ayton sneered in his heart, this kind of routine, from the time he entered the city to now, counting this time, it is the third time.
In this kind of feudal society, he undoubtedly relies on his own strength and background background, but the problem is that he is now in Huangyao City, and he really has no background at all.
