Chapter 2: You didn't negotiate
A tiger roar full of excitement instantly enveloped the entire city of Wales, and the face of the Grand Duke of Belon, who was having afternoon tea with a passing friend in the Grand Duke's Palace, suddenly stiffened, and the hand holding the teacup trembled unnaturally, but immediately had a dry laugh and said in a self-comforting manner:
"When people get old, things on their bodies are always a little bad, as if recently"
Before the Grand Duke of Peron's words fell, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and then the door of the living room was pushed open, and Hyland rushed in from outside the door excitedly, and said eagerly to the Grand Duke of Peron:
"Grandpa! Did you hear it? It's the cry of the white tiger! He's back!"
"Dang Chang" The teacup in the hand of the Grand Duke of Peron fell on the table, and said with an embarrassed smile:
"Hyland, maybe some other tiger is barking! β
Hyland said eagerly:
"Grandpa! It's really the white tiger barking! I can hear it! It must be the white tiger barking, that's right!"
Grand Duke Peron sighed softly and said:
"Highland, it really can't be that they're back. The last place they appeared was the official road leading to Fallen Horse City, which was the place where the mid-level god-level lich Murta, the god of death, and the former High Priest of the Temple of Light, Omor Ryant, duel. You can see what it looks like there, how could they have survived? Even the former High Priest of the Temple of Light, Omore Leant, was in a different place, let alone them! Let's be realistic! If they weren't in that area, we should have found them a long time ago! They were dead! Not even their bodies!"
Snow Moon Trace's lazy voice suddenly came into the ears of Grand Duke Peron:
"I said old man, although I don't have a very deep friendship with you, but you can't curse us to death for no reason!
Immediately afterwards, the Grand Duke's Palace began to shake incessantly, and the wind of riot continued to rage in the Grand Duke's Palace. While the others were still panicking, Grand Duke Peron and Hyland screamed excitedly, as if they were two adventurers who had just discovered the treasure of the previous dynasty. "Boom, boom, boom", after a series of house collapses, the magnificent Grand Duke's Palace was reduced to ruins in the raging winds, but miraculously, no one was harmed in the slightest. The Grand Duke of Peron feigned anger and shouted:
"Boy, you've demolished my house, and I'm not done with you!"
Xue Yueji said lazily:
"If you demolish your house, will you lose such a big temper? I don't know if you lose your temper often? Your family is sour, and I will use the dragon's blood to give you the wages for watering the wheat field! I have lost a lot compared to the transaction! We will go to dinner first! After a while, we will forget to come over to pay the bill! If the dignified Grand Duke defaults on the debt, I am afraid that the word will spread that the face of the Heavenly Dragon Empire will be dull!"
Grand Duke Peron's face changed color several times at once, and he almost didn't cry in distress, after all, the white tiger's appetite was too terrifying. In his more than a hundred days here, the money spent just for the White Tiger to eat was enough for the entire military expenditure of the two super legions in peacetime for ten years. It can be said that if Xue Yueji and them don't leave, he, the first duke of the Tianlong Empire, is really likely to sell his house and land. And listening to Xue Yueji's tone today, I'm afraid that the white tiger will have to eat a big meal before he is satisfied.
Hiran pulled the distressed Grand Duke of Peron and waited for the carriage that had been prepared, the coachman did not use Hyland's instructions to skillfully drive the carriage between the streets and alleys of Welsh City, Snow Moon Marks They have lived here for more than a hundred days, and he already knows very well where Snow Moon Marks and they will dine now.
When Hyland dragged Grand Duke Peron into the dining room, the familiar scene unfolded before their eyes again, and the entire hall except for Snow Moon and Yunna and the waiters who kept shuttling between their tables and kitchens stood as tightly as sardines in a can of sardines. Whether it was the nobles or the ladies and noblewomen, everyone reduced the distance between themselves and others to zero, and no one dared to make a sound, not even one who was in a hurry to catch his breath. However, unlike a few months ago, this time it was Xue Yueji who carefully fed the food to Yun Na to eat, not Yun Na who ate it herself.
Cortana
Grand Duke Peron just wanted to tease but keenly noticed that Yun Na's eyes had lost their smart look, and Xue Yue didn't look back, and said lightly:
"Here we are. It's a lot faster than before. It seems that the coachman is very familiar with the streets of the city. Not bad. β
Grand Duke Peron frowned and asked cautiously:
"Boy, where have you been all this time? Why haven't you heard from you at all? Also, what's going on with little Nana's eyes? Who can easily hurt her under your protection?"
Xue Yueji's hand paused for a moment and did not answer, but Yun Na gave Grand Duke Beron a bright smile and said:
"My eyes are fine! It's just a small accident! Wood is about to take me to someone to treat my eyes! It should be cured soon! Come and eat together! Wood just slaughtered a dragon yesterday! It was stored in the bracers of storage!, it's still fresh! It's no different from when it was first slaughtered! I don't think Wood will ask for anything, will I?"
Xue Yueji smiled indifferently and said:
"Ah, you like to share with them what no one will say. Anyway, it takes a long time to eat all that meat! It's a big deal, and I'll go find a dragon to slaughter and give you something to eat after I'm done. β
The waiter quickly brought two chairs and placed them on the table, and Hyland and Grand Duke Peron sat at the table, silently watching Xue Yueji carefully feed the divided food to Yun Na. It was a long time before the Grand Duke of Peron spoke:
"Boy, where are you going now, it seems that little Nana's eyes are seriously injured, and ordinary priests or magicians may not be able to do anything!"
Xue Yueji said indifferently:
"We're going to go to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Capital, where someone is waiting for me. If that person can't be cured, we'll go to someone else, and I think someone else will be able to cure her eyes! If there's really no one who can cure her, then I'll go to God and heal her eyes. In short, I will definitely find someone to cure her eyes, no matter how much it costs or how much time it takes, I will have to cure her eyes. β
Grand Duke Peron proudly said to Snow Moon Scar:
"If you go to the Imperial Capital, then I'll write a letter, you go to the Imperial Academy to find the dean of the water system, the junior god and magic wizard of the water system, the water demon dragon Sykes Montero, you also know that the friendship between the two of us is still good! Although the healing effect of water magic is not as good as that of light, darkness, nature, and undead, it is also good. Old Sykes Montero wasn't much of a master, but at least he was a god, and a magician who was very good at healing magic. He should be able to help!"
Xue Yueji smiled indifferently, revealing a little discouragement, and said indifferently:
"Don't look for him, it's definitely useless. A junior god wizard's healing magic couldn't have done anything to heal her eyes. If she could, her eyes would have recovered by now. β
Grand Duke Peron's eyes widened like brass bells and he said loudly:
"Isn't it caused by a little accident? how can a junior water god magician's healing magic be solved!"
"Squeak" In a slight metal bending sound, the tableware in Xue Yueji's hand announced that their mission had been completely completed, Xue Yueji calmed down and said indifferently:
"That's right, it's a little accident, but it's just a small accident for the person who made it, and it's a fatal accident for ordinary people. Her eyes don't want to be a water system junior god and magic wizard, the water magic dragon Sykes Montero, even if it is ten water magic dragons Sykes Montero, there is nothing she can do. The current second master, the skeleton-like lich god Muta Muta has been busy for more than three months and has not healed her eye, do you think the water healing magic of a junior water god wizard can play any role?"
Grand Duke PerΓ³n and Hyland, who had been silent, stood up in surprise, and Grand Duke PerΓ³n secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, cold sweat running down his cheeks. He knew very well who Muta was, the god of death, who was the second spokesman of the god of death, who was now in charge of death. Her necromancy is now the second one that no one dares to say is the first, and the one directly represents the one who died. Not to mention close contact with her, even if you hear that she is going to pass by nearby, I don't know how many people have to worry about the characters who can't sleep for days and nights. Even the injuries that she couldn't heal in more than three months, a junior water god and demon wizard's water healing magic was really nothing. However, this god of death is the main god who is directly in charge of death, and the healing forbidden spells of the undead system are not even comparable to the healing forbidden spells of the light, dark and natural systems in many aspects. Who caused the injuries that even Muta, the god of death, could not handle with the forbidden spell that he could easily use without regard to eating and drinking?
Grand Duke Peron's mouth was open for a long time without speaking, Xue Yueji sighed softly and threw the deformed silver tableware in his hand on the table, picked up his own tableware that had not been touched since it was put on the table, and said:
"I said, old man, what are you doing standing there stupidly? I don't know if you stand like that, it affects the mood of others?"
Grand Duke Peron immediately reacted and sat down, pressed Hailan, whose brain was still in a state of short circuit, on the chair and said:
"Boy, how the hell did little Nana's eyes go?"
Xue Yueji said impatiently:
"It's just that a light priest named Omore Rryant didn't listen to my advice and suddenly used a light spell, stimulated by strong light. However, his fate was not very good, as if I had my head screwed off after being rammed. I don't remember very well, but if you want to know the specifics, you'd better ask Muta and Mu Hu, who were also there. But you'd better ask Mu Hu, because I was too fast at the time, and I couldn't see the bones clearly. β
"Bang", a waiter was frightened by hearing the names of Mu Hu and Mu Ta, and his hands were unstable, and the dishes that were just about to be served fell to the ground, and the delicate crystal plate shattered to the ground. The white tiger raised his head violently and looked at the waiter angrily, it was the dragon broth that Yun Na specially gave it to stew, a delicacy made by an authentic master. Although Xue Yueji's dishes are also very delicious, Xue Yueji is only proficient in barbecue, and is not good at stir-frying, cooking and the like. It was not easy to eat a dragon meat meal made by the master, and now that there is one less one all of a sudden, how can it not make it angry. If it was in the wild, the white tiger could now rush up and eat those dishes without hesitation, and there would not be even a trace of flesh left, but now this is not a wild place, and many people are watching! How can it give up the dignity of a quasi-divine beast now, and run over to eat those delicacies that have fallen to the ground in full view of everyone?
In the face of the wrath of the quasi-divine beast of the White Tiger, who would stand up for a little waiter? Xue Yueji glanced at the tightly, his face full of fear, but silently looked at the waiter who had fallen into despair, and the nobles who did not have a trace of pity did not say anything. He has seen and experienced too many of this kind of things. Aren't the traps at the forefront of the battlefield all slaves like him? Whether they are dead or alive, as long as they do not return to the camp alive after the battle, they will be abandoned on the battlefield, and they will even be buried in the earth with the corpses while they still have a breath, and no one cares whether they live or die. There was no medical care, no rescue, no armor, not even a decent weapon, but no matter what time it was, they would be the first to rush to their deaths at the beginning of the battle. The nobles, on the other hand, could wear elaborate and ornate armor, wield sharp weapons, and pay attention to the goddamn aristocratic etiquette and chivalry to slaughter those enemies who posed little threat to them, and then boast about how brave they were. Even the slightest bruise on them will be immediately approached by a priest or mage to perform advanced healing magic.
Yun Na felt the change in the atmosphere around her, and immediately knew what was going on, and said with a gloomy face:
"White Tiger, don't scare people! If you dare to scare people again, I'll let Mu not let you eat for a year!"
The white tiger immediately buried his head in eating the dragon meat feast in front of him like a well-behaved big flower cat, pretending that nothing had happened, and eating those dragon meat feasts. Yun Na nodded with satisfaction and said:
"That's a good cat! Tell them to make another one and send it over after a while, don't scare people anymore." β
The white tiger was lying on the ground depressed, the dignified quasi-divine beast-level holy beast, the top few of the tiger clan's demonic beasts, the golden-patterned holy white tiger was said to be a good cat in the public, but it was quite a faceless thing. But the person who said this now can't afford to provoke it at all, and he doesn't have the courage to provoke it, so he can only lie there depressed and turn his anger, dissatisfaction and helplessness into appetite. No one dared to show a sneering look in the white tiger's threatening gaze, and the waiter sneaked into the kitchen.
Xue Yueji seemed to remember something, and suddenly said to the Grand Duke of Veron:
"Old man, there's nothing wrong with you paying for our food!"
Grand Duke Beron looked at Xue Yueji with a strange expression and nodded helplessly, there is no way, one misstep will become a thousand years of hatred, and then look back a hundred years deep, the original sentence made him have to pay for Xue Yueji and them. However, what made him feel comforted was that the main ingredient of this meal was the dragon meat brought by Snow Moon Scar, which should not cost much. Grand Duke Peron looked vigilantly at Xue Yueji, who was counting something, and said:
"I said, boy, you don't have to be poor to this point! Look at your samurai suit made of the Dark Demon Dragon Skin of the top-level mid-level dragon clan, and this quasi-artifact-level storage bracer, you kid should be much richer than when you left me?
Xue Yueji said lazily:
"I exchanged the Dragonskin Samurai Suit and my current storage bracers for Muta with a full ten liters of blood, and my original storage bracers shattered when I was in Fallen Horse City. The boutique-grade storage bracer was so sturdy that it broke faster than my clothes when the three of us confronted each other, shattering in just a few seconds. So I'm very poor now. And I'm not calculating the processing fee now, but the price of the dragon meat. You also know that the price of dragon meat is very expensive now, and it is not easy for me to slay the dragon, and I still need to deal with it after slaughtering. Everything is troublesome anyway. So? I'm now thinking about how much this dragon meat should cost. β
Grand Duke Peron's jaw almost didn't fall, Xue Yueji had been constantly surprising him from the beginning, he was used to it, but he couldn't have imagined that Xue Yueji, who only knew about killing, would actually talk to him about money, and talk about it so deeply. Grand Duke Peron looked at the mountain-like empty vessel beside the white tiger and gritted his teeth and asked:
"Boy, how much dragon meat did you eat today?"
Xue Yueji said casually while reminiscing:
"It doesn't seem to be a lot, Yun Na has eaten less than three catties, and I haven't eaten yet. The white tiger ate a little more, about 400 catties!Yun Na, what is the market price of dragon meat that you know?"
Yun Na couldn't help but smile and said seriously:
"It seems to be very expensive! I only know the price more than three months ago, I don't know if it has been long. Three months ago, the price was that the dragon meat of the wurm clan was roughly equivalent to the same volume of gold coins. The dragon flesh of the low-level dragon clan of the quasi-holy rank is equivalent to ten times the gold coin of its own volume, the gold coin of the primary holy rank is equivalent to a hundred times its own volume, the intermediate holy rank is equivalent to five hundred times the gold coin of its own volume, and the high-level holy rank is equivalent to two thousand times the gold coin of its own volume. β
Xue Yueji said indifferently:
"Old man, you heard it too. The strength of the dragon I slaughtered is slightly stronger than that of the white tiger, and you can see the price yourself. β
Grand Duke Peron was completely helpless on the table, the price of this meal, which was equivalent to more than 400 catties of dragon meat and 2,000 times the volume of gold coins, was not cheap, and he had to add the manual fee and the damage compensation of the items, he couldn't help it.
