Chapter 57

While the three of them were talking, a captain of the guard of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce convoy had already counted the losses and came over to report it.

"Master Joyce, this snow beast attack killed a total of ten people and injured twenty people, look, do you want to find a place to rest first? I remember there was a town ahead. ”

There are a total of eighty people in the Griffin caravan, and they are all magicians and fighters, but their level is not high, and because of this, it is just a large-scale snow beast attack, and this time the losses will be so heavy. As a chamber of commerce all over the world in the Olawen Continent, it is impossible to have such a little strength.

Jian Lu and Hines both saw some doorways, but the two didn't say anything.

Joyce adopted the advice of his subordinates, turned to Jian Lu and said, "Your Excellency, if it is convenient, let's go to the town in front of you for a while, I think you are also passing by there." ”

Jian Lu nodded coldly.

Hines was unhappy at this time and did not want to speak.

The two of them then returned to their patched snowmobile, which was shabby compared to the luxury snowmobiles of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce. However, because of the combat effectiveness of the two of them before, no one would laugh at the shabby snowmobile.

No matter what the strong do, they have a reason to be respected.

Joyce's gaze was a little dark as he looked at the snowmobile, which was really not something to look at.

"Young master, the snow is heavy, you go back to the car to rest first." The young man with sea blue hair said with concern, and he also glanced at the snowmobile, "Young master, these two people are very powerful, do you want to invite them to act together?" Is that okay? Won't it be inconvenient? ”

Joyce coughed, carefully covered her mouth with her cloak, said nothing, and was helped back by the teenager to a luxury snowmobile.

The Griffin Comptoir's convoy simply packed up and continued on its way, at the end of the convoy was a patched snowmobile pulled by a Spencer, a representative of the frustration compared to the vehicles in the convoy ahead.

The town that the captain of the guard said was not far away, and after about three magic hours, they arrived in the town in the snow.

The town doesn't look big, there is only one street, and you can see the end at a glance, which is really basic. However, in this kind of place, the reason why the town can still preserve the reason why the town is not ravaged by snow beasts is the magic town in this town.

When the convoy entered the town, everyone felt that the wind and snow had stopped.

Jian Lu got out of the car, looked up at the sky above the town, and knew it in his heart.

The magic array isolated the town from the world, and without the permission of the town, people from outside could not enter at all, let alone the magical beasts.

At this time, a coughing voice sounded, "This town is a transit point to the Far North, and many caravans need to come here to rest, so they spontaneously funded and asked the magician to set up a magic array here, as long as people regularly maintain the magic array and replace the magic stone." ”

Jian Lu turned his head and saw the man who coughed and had a blush on his face, that face gave people a very sven, a sick Sven, very harmless. If it weren't for the fact that he knew his ferociousness value from the system, Jian Lu would have thought that this was a really sick man, whether it was on the outside or from his breath, he was an ordinary person without fighting spirit and magic power.

Although he was a little concerned about his identity as the male protagonist of the harem, but at this time, the other party was so polite, Jian Lu naturally would not shake his face, nodded at him, and entered the only hotel in the town with Hines.

Unexpectedly, this humble inn looks bad on the outside, but the interior is quite stylish, and the most important thing is that it is very clean, unlike some small hotels, which are cramped, dirty, and smelly, which makes people very uncomfortable.

There is a firewood burning on the fireplace, and the lobby is very warm.

By the time they were seated, the clerk had already brought the hot food, bread, roast meat, and hot soup, which didn't taste very good, but the portion was full.

Jian Lu and the others were drinking soup, and they heard a violent cough from the position behind them, turned their heads to look, and were not surprised to see that the sick beautiful man was coughing again, and the sea-blue haired young man named Rees next to him handed him a bottle of medicine, and it was not until he drank the medicine that the cough stopped a little, and it was not as if the heart and lungs came out as if he was coughing.

Hines noticed Jian Lu's gaze and began to frown again.

It's just a sick seedling, it can be solved with a finger, why does Jane care about him so much?

After dinner, they went to the room in the inn to rest, because the inn was too small, the room was obviously not enough, Jian Lu and they did not book, there was no room for them, they could only rest in the hall, but Joyce was very considerate and instructed his subordinates to give them a room to rest, in order to thank them for saving their lives before.

After learning Joyce's identity, Jian Lu suddenly felt that the grace of saving his life or something was really ironic.

The room was also very clean and the fireplace was charcoaled, which was very warm.

As soon as Jane Lu sat down, he heard Hines ask, "Jane, that one is called Joyce. Is there anything special about Griffin's people? ”

Of course, he's got more ferociousness than you are - if only when he's demonized.

Jian Lu thought in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Why do you say that? ”

"Because you've seen him several times today."

Is this child's focus crooked? Jian Lu said expressionlessly: "If my guess is correct, his destination this time should also be the Demon Prison. As he spoke, seeing his eyes glide through the bright light, Jian Lu's heart tightened, and he always felt that this was not a good phenomenon.

Hines smiled brightly at this moment and said, "It turns out that they will walk with us, and they can be regarded as a companion." "I don't believe you can't kill him in a dangerous place like the Demon Hell!

Is that so? Why did Jian Lu think that his sunny and upright appearance was a little wrong?

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Isz coming.

"Didn't bother you, did you?" The pale-faced man said softly while coughing, and the smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes was very gentle, which made people feel good for no reason.

"No, please come in." Jian Lu turned sideways and invited him in.

After inviting Joyce to sit down, Jian Lu took out the juice and served him, the juice had been squeezed when he was at school and stored in the system compartment for food.

Joyce thanked them, took a sip, closed her eyes slightly, and then said to them, "You're from the Central Forest, aren't you?" This is the juice of the sand sweet fruit that can only be found in the central forest, the taste is dense and sweet, and the nutritional value is very high, and many nobles like this fruit. ”

And what he didn't say was that this kind of sand sweet fruit grows in the depths of the central forest, where there live seventh-order demonic beasts, although the nutritional value is high and the taste is good, but because the seventh-order demonic beasts are not easy to mess with, very few people will go there to pick this fruit, and because of this, the price of it on the market is very expensive, even if it is a nobleman, they will not squeeze it into a pot of juice so luxuriously, and take it out so casually to entertain guests.

Joyce felt he should re-evaluate the two.

"If you like it." Jian Lu modestly said that every time Hines went to the forest for training, he would bring him a lot back, and he also liked the taste of this sweet fruit, whether it was used to make fruit salad or juice.

Rhys, who came with Joyce, was staring wide-eyed at this time, he originally thought that Jian Lu and the others were hillbillies from the countryside, so he hadn't even heard the name of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce - although their appearance and bearing looked like nobles, who knows if they weren't, could it be that they were nobles from which country they didn't take the Griffin Chamber of Commerce in their eyes at all? But as far as he knew, even if he was a nobleman, he was still very modest in the face of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce.

As Rhys surveyed them, Jane Lu and Joyce were already starting to exchange pleasantries, and Joyce was clearly a cheerful person who quickly informed him of his intentions.

"You two are also going to the Demon Prison, right?" Joyce put his hands on his knees, giving people a sense of calm and relaxation, only those who are familiar with him know that this kind of Joyce is usually a kind of relaxation before starting to negotiate with people, specially used to confuse the other party. "This path leads to the Demon Prison, and there is no other place but the Demon Prison."

Jian Lu took a sip of juice and bowed slightly.

"The strength of the two Excellencies is very strong, which is why I came to you." Joyce said mildly.

Jian Lu still didn't react, and Hines squinted at him.

"I'd like to ask you two to join my caravan and enter the Demon Hell together." Joyce was not deterred by the coldness of the two, maintaining a decent smile on his face, still so kind and elegant, "Of course, the reward will not be small, if you can successfully get what I need, each person will be rewarded with 100,000 purple gold coins." ”

Hines immediately sat up straightβ€”even though he was already sitting straight.

One Purple Gold Coin = 1000 Gold Coins.

Five gold coins can be used as the cost of an ordinary family of five in the imperial capital for a year, and these 100,000 purple gold coins are undoubtedly very exciting.

Jian Lu was also very moved, but he still said coldly on his face, "Let's talk about your task first." ”

"Blood Demon Flower." Joyce said softly, "Although I am a merchant, this time I took the Blood Demon Flower not to sell, but to treat my mother's illness. Probably speaking of her mother at home, Joyce's expression became softer and softer.

Rhys, who was on the side, added: "Our lady has been sick in bed since she gave birth to the young master, and the young master has always wanted to restore her health, but for so many years, she has not been able to succeed. ”

It's no wonder that you can succeed!

Jian Lu had read the documents in the Temple of Light and knew the reason. Since Joyce is a half-demon, then one of his parents must be a demon and the other is a human, so now it is certain that Joyce's mother must be a human, and human women can give birth to demon offspring, but at the cost of consuming their lives.

Jian Lu guessed well, Joyce's mother is the beloved daughter of the president of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce, and President Griffin has only one daughter, who originally had to consume his daughter's vitality when he gave birth to a half-demon man, but President Griffin couldn't bear it, so he spent a lot of money and effort to keep his daughter's vitality, but it could only be kept, and it was impossible for her to recover her health.

That's why Joyce decided to put the idea of the Blood Demon Flower in the Demon Prison.

"Our purpose is also the Blood Demon Flower." Hines said, "I've heard that the birth of each Blood Demon Flower requires the essence of thousands of monsters to be cast, and in the case of the Demon Prison, I'm afraid there is only one Blood Demon Flower there. ”

"If you get it, I can buy it from you, and the price is yours." Joyce is very old-fashioned.

Hines didn't answer, but looked at Jian Lu.

Jian Lu thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know how much Blood Demon Flower you need?" Want a whole plant? ”

Joyce immediately understood the meaning of his words, and the smile on his face became more and more gentle, "Half a plant is enough." ”

"Okay, when the time comes, no matter who obtains it, one person and half, and those who need it can buy it from the owner." Jian Lu said briskly.

"Deal."

At that moment, the two signed a simple contract, and the price was clearly marked, no matter which party got it first, they had to pay 10 million purple gold coins to buy it, and other circumstances could be discussed separately.

Rhys watched from the sidelines, a pair of beautiful cat eyes couldn't help but turn around between the two opposite, and when he saw the handsome blonde knight looking over, he nodded at him very friendly, looking like a happy boy, looking like he didn't have any scheming.

A faint smile appeared on Hines' lips.

After leaving the guest room, Rhys said to Joyce, "Young master, those two don't look like they're very rich. "If the Blood Demon Flower is obtained by the people of their Griffin Chamber of Commerce, then can the two of them really pay 10 million purple gold coins to buy it?

"No, they are confident that they can get it on their own." Joyce's voice was still gentle, "I can't see through them, but they do have the strength, so it's better." ”
