Chapter 8: Elves

Crying with Charles was Halkala, who was so shocked to hear that Adonis was going to buy her that she didn't even notice that the half-eaten corn cake in her hand had fallen to the ground.

Then Halkala took Charles in his arms and cried out, "Young master, you must not sell me!"

Charles also hugged Halkala and cried out in the same veil: "Woo woo...... I won't sell you! Father and mother are gone, and you are a family like my two sisters. ”

Adonis heard something from the words of Charles and Harcara. He thought, "This boy has two older sisters in the family, but it was him and the elf who came out to sell the wolf cubs, which means that her sister can't come out for some reason." ”

"Although the elf's strength as an adult is not weak, but now this elf's figure is too plump and doesn't look like a warrior, plus she is very loyal to her master, and there is no slave tattoo on her neck, so it is estimated that she is a female slave cultivated by her ancestors. ”

Adonis is very interested in the elf who is one of the standard features of the protagonist's harem, and feels that after he buys this elf, he will take good care of it according to the routine, and he will be able to enter the harem in the future.

At this time, the mage girl among the Tactics Pastor Sisters, who had been silent all the time, and was in the background on the side, pulled Adonis's sleeve and whispered to him, "Master, we don't have enough money. ”

Adonis gently patted the mage's hand and said, "It's okay, I have a way. ”

Then he took out a quail egg-sized crystal and said to Charles, "If you can persuade this elf lady to go with me, this crystal is yours." ”

The magic crystal is the product of the long-term condensation of underground magic under certain conditions, and it contains much more magic than the magic core. In the magic crystal in Adonis's hand, you could even see starlight-like points of light emitted by the fire elemental when it was highly concentrated.

The movement here has long attracted a group of onlookers, and small businessmen who have no business have gathered to watch the excitement.

Among these merchants, there were many knowledgeable people, and one merchant and a friend next to him said: "This magic crystal is indeed worth 1,000 ores, and if you are lucky, you can sell it for 1,200 ores." ”

And his friends and businessmen despised him, "Only fools will take it and sell it directly, as long as you find a mage master who is proficient in inscription to cooperate, you can sell it for at least two thousand Ores after inscribed magic array on it, even if you deduct the dividends to the mage, at least 1,500 Ore." ”

Adonis silently placed the two assists passers-by A and B in his heart. He confidently continued to say to Charles: "This gentleman, you must have been experiencing some difficulties in your family recently. This magic crystal can solve the difficulties encountered in your family, and it can also make your sisters' lives better. All you need is permission for her to go with me. ”

Halkala: "Woooo......oo Don't, young master...... (Promise him, you three and I seven)"

Charles: "......Woooo Sister...... (Five-Five)"

Halkala: "Woooo......oo (Deal)"

Charles left Halcara's embrace, then took Halkala's hand in one hand, wiped the tears that flowed from under the mask with the other, and said, "I'm sorry, Halkala, you know my sisters...... Woowoo woo ......"

Halkala held Charles' hand tightly with both hands, "Young Master, I don't want to leave you......"

Adonis saw that there was a play, and when he looked at Halkara, there was a flash of greed in his eyes. He was already thinking about what life would be like in sixty-eight poses six years later. So he increased his chips, and a water-based magic crystal of the same size appeared in his hand.

Halcara's grip on Charles's hand increased at this moment.

Five minutes later, Charles watched as Halcara dragged a small trailer containing two white wolf cages and Adonis as he left the market, holding a magic crystal in one hand.

Several small merchants selling daily necessities stood behind Charles, and the merchant who had valued the magic crystal just now said to Charles sourly: "You kid is really out of shit luck, we have been busy all year long, and you haven't made much money overnight." ”

Charles pointed to an open-air wine stall at the edge of the market and shouted to the onlookers: "I'm going to invite everyone to drink tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't give me face!"

The group formed a circle at the open-air wine stall, and the stall owner, after receiving a handful of dinars handed by Charles, happily helped them organize the banquet tonight.

A glass of frothy wine similar to beer was placed in front of Charles, and the next moment he was pulled in front of him by the cat girl sitting next to Charles, "He's still a child, just give him juice." ”

How can fruit juice have high profits from foam wine, and the stall owner said dissatisfiedly: "Momiji, he is not your husband, can you control him?"

The cat girl named Momiji glared at the stall owner, "He's my brother!"

The stall owner, who had heard about the situation of the Momiji family, shut up after saying "oh".

Finally, Charles toasted with everyone with a glass of prairie cherry juice.

But one of the people present did not raise the glass in front of him, he was the young apprentice of the friend merchant named Liechten.

"What's wrong, Camus. Liechtendon asked his apprentice, "Why don't you drink?"

Camus's face was full of anger, and he shouted angrily, "Why is everyone so happy when an elf lady is sold?!"

"How can any elf be sold?" said Liechten, with an innocent expression, "and we see that only those two wolf cubs have been sold." You don't think elves have four legs and long tails, do you?"

"But he just ......," Camus said, pointing at Charles, when his hand was slapped off by Liechten.

"How can I have such a stupid apprentice as you. Liechtendon said in annoyance, as the conversation between the two of them drew laughter from the other merchants.

Liechtenth knocked Camus on the head, and then said in hatred: "Use your brain, think about the conversation between them. You're not even as good as a child under the age of ten. ”

As Camus recalls the whole story, the people around the table come to drink with Liechtenstein education apprentices.

By this time Charles had put back on the ring of the Earl of Maccaden, and a merchant said to him, "My lord, the elf lady is not in danger, is she?"

Charles shook his head and said, "I'm afraid she's gone too far." ”

By this time Camus had come to his senses, and he asked Liechtenten, "It seems that the lord never said a word to the other party about selling the elf lady?

"And he never said that the elf lady would listen to or serve the other party. ”

"Wo Cao, so after the elf lady is gone, she can come back if she likes?"

Then everyone toasted to Camus's wisdom.

After a drink, Liechtenstein taught his apprentice, "The adult who was going to buy the elf lady lost his cool judgment for some reason, and his IQ dropped." In addition, perhaps for the sake of face, the choice of words and sentences is easy to cause other interpretations. ”

Therefore, in business negotiations, it is necessary to remain calm, to be strict in the choice of words, not to speak to oneself, and not to appear ambiguous. ”

At this moment, a loud crying voice resounded in the sky: "Help! someone is going to force me to be a slave!"

The businessmen who were talking to Charles about doing business in the Earldom of Maccaden were stunned for a moment, and then shouted to the stall owner: "Boss, get a place!"

At this time, Liechtenth continued to say to Camus: "I remember that you memorized the law of the steppes, it seems that you are lazy again. In this land, it was illegal to force others to be slaves, and outsiders who violated this law were expelled from the steppes after confiscating all their property. ”

The wind on the prairie at night was noisy, and the oil lamps hanging from the wine stalls were blown to the ground.

In the flickering light, a group of orcs in black uniforms surrounded the wine stalls.

Along with him were Halkara, who was humming a song, and Adonis, who had a blue nose and a swollen face. It seems that the law enforcement team in Corn City did not spare him because he was a child.

A green-skinned orc with a scar on his face walked up to the group of drinkers and asked, "Who is Charles?"

"I am. Charles put down the juice and raised his hand to answer the question.

The green-skinned orc walked up to Charles and looked down at him and said, "I'm Marcus, the captain of the Corn City Law Enforcement Team, and you are suspected of a fraud case, please come with us for investigation." ”

At this time, Momiji, who was sitting next to Charles, stood up and said, "He is Charles McGardenen, the current Earl of Macgardenen. ”

"Really?" Marcus looked at Charles.

Charles stretched out his right hand and showed the ring on his finger.

Marcus suddenly stretched out his hands to hold Charles's right hand, and said in a loud voice: "Oh mom, why don't you say hello to us, big brother, when you come." ”

Then he beckoned to the stall owner, "Boss, hurry up and bring the table and chairs, we will record a statement for the Earl of McCaden here, don't delay our Earl of Maccaden...... drink" Marcus saw that the glass in front of McCaden's position was filled with juice, so he continued: "...... Drink juice!"

"I protest!" cried Adonis outside, "why should he be given preferential treatment!"

Marcus glanced at him and said, "The protest is not effective. The relevant laws of the Senate stipulate that members of the Maccaden family have privileges in the savannah!"

"Why!" said Adonis, unconvinced.

"For 300 years, the prairie has suffered seven severe droughts and five severe snowstorms. Marcus glared at Adonis and said, "Every time, the McCaden family will buy a large amount of food out of their own pockets to help us for free!"

An elderly merchant at the wine table said, "Yes, I still remember the drought 15 years ago, when the grass and grain in the fields withered, and many livestock starved to death. The Earl of Maccaden and Mama St. Angel personally brought grain from the south with a convoy of unknown number of vehicles. ”

Liechtenth chimed in: "I was an apprentice at the time, and my boss's convoy was hired by the Earl of Maccaden, and Mama St. Angel was sitting in my carriage. ”

Charles was in a daze, he had only heard his father and grandfather mention it lightly, but he didn't expect the family to do such a big deal.

Soon, the stall owner set up a table and two stools on the side, and hung three oil lamps.

"How do you make sure that what you're going to say next is true. Marcus personally recorded a confession for Charles.

"I swear to the God of Life, the God of Light, and the God of Fire, that what I say next is true. Charles raised his hand and swore. Then his head lit up with a green, white, and red glow full of divinity. If he lies in the following confession, the person will blow up.

Charles told the truth what had just happened, and finally made Marcus and the rest of the law enforcement team laugh.

As a commercial city, the law enforcement team is no longer surprised by all kinds of tricks and tricks in the mall, and the law here is biased in favor of sellers. Even if it was Charles, if he complained that the price of the corn steamed cake he just bought was too high, the relevant departments would only rule that the rabbit mother who sold the cake won.

"Don't buy it if it's too expensive, no one will force you" is the most common saying. Of course, it is illegal to force someone to buy it.

In addition to Charles, the onlookers also recorded statements as witnesses.

After the incident, Marcus said to Charles: "This case will be heard in court at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and you need to appear in court to defend yourself as a party." It is also possible to appoint an adult citizen of Corn City, or an adult who has paid taxes in Corn City for five consecutive years or more, including this year, as a retained defender. Until the case is decided, the people involved are forbidden to leave the city. ”

Charles looked confused, now he has a big game, he doesn't know anything about the law here, and if he can't do it, he will get away with it, and it seems that he has to go back to Sister Elizabeth for help.

At this time, Charles suddenly felt a person appear next to him, and at the same time, a faint fragrance entered his nostrils. The next moment, a palm pressed against Charles's head, and then grabbed it hard......

"Tomorrow I will appear in court as his appointed defender. A mature female voice full of charm said to Marcus.

Charles endured the pain in his brain and looked up, and found that the person who came was a young cat woman who looked very similar to the cat girl Momiji. It can be said that the cat young woman is the mature version of the power enhancement of the cat girl.

The law enforcement team departed, and Elizabeth and Aubrey were already waiting for Charles and Halcara on the sidelines.

After the young cat woman and Elizabeth had some negotiations, Elizabeth poked Halkala in the head and reprimanded her before returning to the hotel.

Charles, on the other hand, was led by the cat lady and the cat girl, and walked in the other direction.
