Chapter 30: Pets
"Let's go, let's go and see something else. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lisi pulled Wei Zheng towards the door of the store, as for the five ground fire lizard skins, they had already been taken by Xiao Er of the inn and sent to the room where they lived.
"Two adults go slowly," the boss smiled and sent them to the door, and now even Lisi seemed to be an adult in his eyes, "By the way, I want to know, how did you get your black jade?" ”
"I robbed it when I went into battle to kill the enemy!" Regarding this question, Wei Zheng seemed to answer it subconsciously, without thinking about it at all, and said it naturally and lightly, which made people have to be convinced when they heard it. Lisi didn't know anyway, so she let Wei Zheng say so.
"......", the boss was directly stunned in place, cold sweat hung all over his forehead, he doubted his hearing, and muttered in his mouth, "It was obtained by killing the enemy himself, doesn't it mean that he participated in killing the masters of the Extreme Realm of the two hostile races?" He's a Extreme Realm master himself! OMG! Fortunately, I didn't offend them. ”
"Wait! Two adults! The ghostly voice of the boss came from behind her, and Lisi turned around helplessly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Well, that's right, after deciding to close for a day, accompany the two adults to wander around this Salamander City market, which is equivalent to being a shopping guide, well, that's right, that's right." The boss seems to be convincing himself.
When it comes to shopping, women are always able to go shopping in high spirits, especially when they are accompanied by the man they love, and he pays for it. Hearing the clothing store owner's request, Lisi nodded and agreed: "Okay, but don't fool us." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." The boss was terrified.
As for Wei Zheng, he doesn't care, he is now in the stage of curiosity about the baby, plus his mental and physical strength are far from comparable, so when it comes to shopping, the excitement is much more than Lis.
I have to say that in this war period and the era of economic depression, meeting such two large money owners really brought joy to many merchants in the Salamander City market.
"Two adults, please come and see the rare breeds in our pet store!" A kind-looking old man stood at the door of a pet store called "Rare Birds and Beasts", and greeted Wei Zheng very warmly, and the owner of the clothing store came a few steps first, and seemed to have a good relationship with him, and was standing next to him to greet him: "These are two very amazing adults, Lao Nuo, you must entertain them well." ”
"Oh? It's natural to entertain well," Lao Nuo was noncommittal, "but how great can they be for the two young people?" "After all, when I'm older, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, and I don't show how surprised I am.
"That man, he's a powerhouse in the Extreme Realm!" The owner of the clothing store snorted, "People carry more than 200 pieces of black jade, I saw it with my own eyes!" ”
At this time, Wei Zheng and the others had already walked into the pet store, and Lao Nuo directly put the clothing store owner aside: "Ah, two adults, welcome, welcome, it really makes the small store shine!" ”
"Hey, this old thing," the clothing store owner sneered, but he was very satisfied, "I pretend to be deep every time, I can't be calm now, hum." ”
Lao Nuo stretched out his hand and pointed to the various animal cages in the store, and carefully introduced: "This is a purebred communication bird that is very difficult to catch, and it is hard to find." It is very fast, and it can travel thousands of miles a day, that is to say, using it, you can deliver the news from the front line to our imperial city in one day. Moreover, as long as it is fed and fed with water every day, it can be successfully domesticated after ten days. ”
"Oh? It seems to be quite yo, and it's so cute and humane, fight, let's buy it! Lis's eyes stared straight at the pale gray feathered bird in the cage, which was only half the size of a palm, and the bird's eyes were as bright as diamonds, and it was said to be the embodiment of a purebred bird.
"Uh, Old Nuo, how much?" Wei Zheng asked subconsciously.
"Damn, how did he know my nickname?" The old man in the pet shop was taken aback in his heart, and then he thought that he might have heard the whispers between himself and others just now, and he deserved to be a master of the Extreme Realm!
"This, only two gold jade, hey, it's not easy to make money these days, I want to sell five gold jade in the peaceful era, even if it is not purebred! This is already the cost price...... "Lao Nuo intends to complain to them at length.
"Here, the money is for you, three gold jades," Lisi generously took out the gold jade that the clothing store owner had exchanged for before from her money bag, "You are so pitiful, I will give you one more, but I will prepare some more feed for our messenger bird!" ”
The clothing store owner on the side was envious, and Lao Nuo's eyes flashed a gleam, he didn't expect these two local tyrants to spend money so generously, and they didn't plan to bargain at all, and the bunch of rhetoric they prepared seemed to be completely useless.
Lao Nuo took the money, his attitude was more humble, and he pointed to another cage, and those he introduced were the most precious pets in the store: "Come, two adults, there are ...... here"
"Hey, what's that?" Lisi held Wei Zheng's arm with her left hand, pointed to a beast cage with her right hand, and said to Wei Zheng at the same time, "Zheng, there is a small animal over there, which looks like the pet you brought with you called 'Little Meow' before." ”
Wei Zheng frowned: "What is Little Meow?" Why does this name sound familiar to me? It's like hearing Lis's name. ”
"By the way, you forgot all about it," Lisi patted her forehead, "boss, what's that little animal?" ”
"Oh, that's one," Lao Nuo, who is familiar with almost all pets, also thought for a moment before saying, "I have only seen it in the classics before, it is an ancient cat demon, and there are not many people who know it." ”
"Huh?" Wei Zheng curiously asked Lisi to take him to the cage where the cat demon was kept, smelling, listening and touching, studying the ancient cat demon curled up in the corner of the cage, and greeting it in psychic language: "Hi, hello, little guy." ”
The ancient cat demon popped its head out of the purple-blue fur, and its head had the word "king" composed of black hair, more like a small tiger, and the fur of other parts was snow-white, very fluffy and lush, and felt very good. It woke up from its rest in a daze, glanced at Wei Zheng, and then buried its head in its soft belly again, curled up and fell asleep.
But the ancient cat demon's pure jewel-like sky-blue eyes made a deep impression on Lis, and exclaimed, "Wow, what beautiful eyes! ”
After thinking about it again, its pink nose was also like a little meow, and Lisi decided that this must be the same kind of little meow: "Boss, tell us, how did you come to be a cat demon?" ”
"Well," said Old Nuo, "this is a species from ancient times, and it is said that the Relics World at that time did not have the three suns of today, only one, which was far less bright and warm than it is now......
It turns out that the ancient world of dust also had a dark night, and there were endless ice fields and glaciers at that time, and the species that lived on them were much smaller than they are today, because the oxygen concentration was much lower, and they were all cold-tolerant species, with thick and soft fur covering their bodies. The ancient cat demon was one of the most abundant species of that period.
After that, the second and third suns slowly appeared, and the dust world underwent great changes, which once led to the extinction of all kinds of creatures, and the ancient cat demon race was almost extinct. The snow-white cat demon in front of him is said to have been discovered by a previous peacetime expedition during the excavation of underground ore veins. At that time, it was wrapped in an amber-like piece of ice that had not melted for hundreds of millions of years, causing its vitality to remain dormant without leaking.
I knew that it was only recently that someone used research as an excuse to cut the piece of ice, and found that there was still a layer of water in it, so that this cat demon was successfully unsealed and survived in the world, becoming a rare creature that is rare in 10,000 years, and it changed hands to this pet store after several twists and turns.
"It's not me who blows, the ancient cat demons that still exist in this world are now only ten fingers, and those who use them as pets are all royalty and nobles," the shopkeeper Lao Nuo foamed at the mouth, "How cute, very well-behaved!" If you buy it and give it to your wife as a pet, you will surely be able to please the lady! Besides......"
Seeing that Wei Zheng was so moved that he was about to buy it himself, although Lisi was overjoyed by the shopkeeper, she still dragged Wei Zheng down and stopped him in time.
"How long can this cat demon live?" Lisi asked the shopkeeper.
"Uh," Lao Nuo said with a look of unwillingness, but after a moment of hesitation, "I can't hide it, according to ancient books, it is probably only about one-tenth of the life span of our ordinary Nilo people. As for this one, we can't be sure whether its life essence was lost during the freezing period, so we don't know its specific lifespan. ”
"Hmph, it's only been a little bit of life, and I think this cat demon is not small, I don't think it's a child," Lisi said seriously, "Forget it, we'll be very sad when it dies early, right, fight?" As he spoke, he kicked Wei Zheng lightly.
Dare to love is Lisi woke up, every time she was regarded as a wronged boss, but now she has woken up and knows that she has to bargain.
"Yes, yes, I can't make Liz sad and don't buy it." Although Wei Zheng really wanted it, he felt that he shouldn't make Lisi sad.
Lao Nuo can see that although this gold lord is extraordinary, he is a fool at all, he will only obey the beautiful women around him, and he is a person who says everything, and he is very resolute every time he expresses his attitude and position.
"This, the price is negotiable," the boss thought that this lazy cat demon had been eating and drinking for nothing for a long time here, and now that the war was at the head, if it continued like this, I didn't know if it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue to make a move, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty pieces of gold and jade, it can't be less, but it's all discounted!" Sold at a loss, this is the treasure of the store! ”
It turned out that he was going to sell it for a high price of one hundred gold and jade just now, no wonder Lisi, who was so down-and-out and generous, couldn't help but stop Wei Zheng, Bing Xue was smart, and she actually saw the clue in advance.
"Well, that's about the same price, but you're going to have to give us some more feed for the Messenger Birds!" Liz had a look of satisfaction on her face.
"Okay then." The boss finally got rid of the ancient cat demon, but he forgot about it, and readily agreed.
"Two adults, take a look at it, what else do you need?" Lao Nuo, who had collected the money again, asked tentatively.
"No, no, we're in a hurry to go back and domesticate these two little guys!" Lisi pulled Wei Zheng's sleeve and walked out of the store, without looking back, looking very interested, although she was the daughter of the highest commander of the quartermaster department of Fike Village, she had never kept such a precious pet.
"Then go slowly, two!" Lao Nuo also had a good harvest today, and said goodbye to Wei Zheng and them with joy, and then chatted with the clothing store owner.
Wei Zheng held the cage containing the communication bird and a large bag of feed in his left hand, and held Lisi's hand in his right hand; And Lisi also held the sleepy cat demon with one hand, "Even the feeling of holding it is very similar to Xiao Meow, except that there is a difference in size and coat color." Liz thought to herself.
On the way, they ran into the innkeeper who helped them return after putting their things away, and came forward to help Wei Zheng get the bag of feed.
"Accompany the two adults out for a stroll, help get some groceries, you can get a gold and jade reward, and the inn's salary can be taken correctly, what a beautiful difference! But these two adults are really extravagant, the animal that looks useless and called the ancient cat demon, is actually willing to spend twenty gold and jade to buy it, and they are very satisfied, that's my two years' salary! I really don't understand this rich man's world. Xiao Er was full of emotion in his heart.
Of course, if he could figure it out, he wouldn't have been a junior second, and he should have been promoted to shopkeeper a long time ago.
The image of Xiao Meow is a big symbol of Lisi's first love and their first encounter, not to mention that Wei Zheng has amnesia now, that is, when he still has memories, as long as Lisi wants to buy the cat demon, he will inevitably buy it. However, maybe when it was really expensive, he would rob it directly, anyway, this side is not a society under the rule of law.
