Chapter 44: The Philosopher's Stone
ps: Thank you for the PK vote of "Into Ruoye Creek", but the skeleton wood has an impact on the PK list, if you can, change it to a reward, ho~ho~
"In addition, there are official slaves, among them there are down-and-out noble ladies and ladies, and there are also housekeepers who are implicated in the family, I believe that you are not here to buy these two kinds of slaves, so you must be interested in my goblin slaves!"
Gu Luo went on to introduce that he was able to mix in the human realm, and he also had his own set of methods.
"First of all, there are not necessarily a few of my goblins in the entire human realm, and occasionally a mercenary group goes to the territory of the goblins once a year, and they will not bring them back, so these goblins are unique! Beautiful lady, if you don't buy it now, you won't have a chance again! ”
Scarcity is precious, and the hobbit also understands this, he feels that this woman is interested in goblin slaves, and all he has to do is give his customers a reason.
"Goblins can do everything a slave can do! They can clean the house, guard the gates, and even grow crops, and they don't need to rest, they don't take up any resources in the house, just give them a room for the underdogs, or a stable! You can feed them! Don't worry about them running away! ”
Gu Luo racked his brains to find the advantages of goblins, it is said that goblins live on meat, but in the season of lack of food, weeds and moss can also satisfy hunger, and planting crops is complete nonsense, but Gu Luo is sure that it will not be exposed, what do the two young imps know?
"Most importantly, goblins are the most creative guys! Miss you can go back and look up the books, the goblin's favorite thing is to tinker with new things, it will definitely bring you endless fun! ”
Xia Yi didn't say anything, and the slave trader Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed with Gu Luo, they all heard Gu Luo's words, thinking that Gu Luo had come to deceive the ignorant little nobles again, and they all began to coax.
"Hahaha, Guluo, the goblins are so good, why don't you take them home and raise them yourself?"
"Yes! Guro, you tell the goblins to invent something for you, and beware of the kitchen being blown up by them! ”
"Guluo liar, start deceiving people again!"
The hobbit was said that his face was red and blue, and he was angry and annoyed.
"Damn it, get out of here! You're jealous of my business! Gu Luo hurriedly rounded himself back and said to Xia Yi, "Don't mind, beautiful young lady, these guys are so hateful, they always ruin my reputation!" ”
Xia Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "I bought all these goblins, how many gold coins are there?" ”
"Gold coins? Hahaha, Miss, you have been deceived by this liar, this guy is the best at lying! ”
The slave traders on the side began to muddy again, but they were telling the truth, one gold coin was equivalent to a month's income of an ordinary family! Equivalent to 100 barrels of fine ale! Who would spend so much money on two dozen useless goblins?
Xia Yi didn't know the value of a gold coin, so he asked.
Gu Luo originally planned to blackmail this fat sheep well, but he was disturbed by his companions, rolled his eyes at them, and then said with a shy face, "Miss, don't listen to their nonsense, I didn't say that I wanted gold coins, how about only ten silver coins?" Ten silver coins for twenty goblins, an average of half a silver coin, that little goblin is Bai Rao, give it to you! ”
Afraid that Xia Yi would not buy the goblin, Gu Luo took the initiative to reduce some prices, because it was not easy to meet two loser nobles, and those gentlemen were very shrewd!
To acquire these goblins, Gu Luo only spent a total of one silver coin. Because that mercenary group can't deal with goblins, it's better to throw it away than sell it for a silver coin! It was also the mercenary group that was unlucky, and they got nothing from a trip to the wool line, and they lost a lot of money, so they brought back a group of goblin captives.
These goblins have to be bought anyway, the question is what to do with them, Xia Yi doesn't have a house, and he can't send the goblins back to their homes, if left unchecked, they will either be killed by humans, or they will continue to be captured and sold as slaves.
Seeing Xia Yi's hesitation, Lord Marquis smiled, isn't this a good opportunity to show himself?
Chen guessed that Xia Yi didn't have enough coins to be silent, he straightened his chest, took out a gold coin at random, pinched it with his slender fingers, and threw it to Gu Luo.
"A gold coin, no need to look for it, it is a gift from me to this young lady."
The marquis said that he looked really a good man with rich money and generosity and considerateness.
Gu Luo caught the gold coin, this action is too familiar to him, he has to do it several times a day, he introduces the noble lords to buy and sell, there will always be a reward, but the most is a silver coin, usually a few coppers.
When Gu Luo held the heavy gold coin, he couldn't believe it! He put the gold coin in his mouth and bit out a mark, oh my God, it was really a gold coin, and Gu Luo's savings from a year's hard work did not necessarily have a gold coin!
I can't believe it, but also Gu Luo's companions, they cover their mouths, their eyes are full of envy and jealousy, this dwarf is really out of shit luck!
"Gu Luo, you have a treat today, our brothers have a good drink, I haven't tasted rum for a long time!"
"A few more women!"
"Gu Luo, you won't be stingy with this little money when you get rich, right?"
Gu Luo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, stuffed the gold coin into his arms, patted it tightly, and scolded: "Get out!" You vampires! Why didn't you ask me to drink when I lost money! ”
"Gu Luo is stingy, you don't take our advantage less!"
"Yes, you still owe me five copper plates, hurry up and pay off the debt!"
……
The instigator of the strife, the Marquis of Blue Rose, was standing there indifferently, as if he did not look at a single gold coin in his eyes, which made people even more admirable, and Gu Luo continued to praise him as a generous noble lord.
Shay didn't want to owe him a favor, she wanted to get rid of this Marquis of the Blue Rose with an unknown purpose.
Despite his reluctance, Xia Yi finally made up his mind and took out an object from his backpack, which was taken from Pipiru's mage tower, it was a blue translucent stone, Pipiru usually used it to gather moisture from the air, and Xia Yi carried it on his body, and had a certain ability to remove dust, just like taking a bath at any time, to keep it cool at all times.
It's a pity that Xia Yi doesn't know how to use it, so the dust removal effect is not very obvious, otherwise it won't look dirty. She loved the beautiful stone and was going to make it into a necklace to wear, so she carried it in her backpack.
When Shay pulled out the stone, the crowd around him fell silent instantly, like a swarm of pesky flies sprayed with insecticide.
Whether it was the slave trader and the buyer who were arguing about the price, or the Guro gang who were arguing with the thick red neck, everyone closed their mouths in unison, and those who didn't notice it were also kicked and motioned to look at the woman's hand.
Xia Yi didn't know why, and said to Gu Luo: "I don't need others to pay, do you see if this stone can be exchanged for this group of slaves?" ”
Gu Luo twitched obviously, slurping, could he change his slaves? The answer is yes, even if there are 10,000 goblins, they are not worth this stone! But would Gurro dare to agree?
When Chen saw Xia Yi take out a blue stone, his eyes burst with brilliance, he was the richest nobleman in the human realm, and he couldn't help but be greedy, and then his whole face turned red, Xia Yi's behavior was to slap him in the face, no, he was simply pumping him!
In order to show his generosity, Chen took out a gold coin, and coaxed him with disdain, many people saw it, and they would definitely praise him for spending a lot of money for his fame, but Xia Yi didn't accept his affection, and took out a gem worth more than a box of gold!
Isn't this just a slap in the face of the marquis? Aren't you rich? If someone takes out a stone at random, it is more precious than you, the richest man! The Marquis now wondered if Xia Yi had come out of a powerful family!
For a moment, Chen's mind was confused, he couldn't figure out why Xia Yi had such a precious gem, and he couldn't think of what Xia Yi's origin was!
All of this is something that Xia Yi doesn't know.
Everyone looked at them strangely, and Shay thought she had done something stupid. Those slave traders and nobles alike, their eyes were fixed on the blue stone in their hands, covered with greedy blood.
The first to react was Gu Luo, who hurriedly reminded: "Miss, hurry up and put this thing away!" ”
Shay glanced gratefully at Gu Luo, a hobbit who was greedy for money, but he had not lost sight of his hobbit nature, which was honesty and loyalty.
People not far away began to talk to each other.
"The God of Light is above, if it weren't for my dazzle, what I saw was a philosopher's stone?"
Everyone knows that this stone is very precious, but everyone is not sure whether this is a magic stone, after all, the magic stone is too rare, that is, ordinary nobles, they have only read the text introducing the magic stone in the classics, and some atlases also record the magic stone, but few people have seen the real thing.
Except for those real ** divisions!
If you want to say its value, there is no conclusion, because there is no place to buy and sell Philosopher's Stone, if someone accidentally gets a Philosopher's Stone, either as a tribute to the king, or as a gift to the ** masters, even if it is an auction house, they hardly do the business of Philosopher's Stone, because they can't bear the consequences.
First of all, ordinary nobles will not go bankrupt to buy a stone that they can only admire, and the wealthy nobles can't keep it even if they buy the magic stone, who are the ghosts and who are staring at it, and how many people are secretly trying to do wrong?
Mage apprentices and mages can buy cores at most, which they use to craft staves and augmentation items.
So the Philosopher's Stone is the symbol of the ** division! Only they are qualified to have! To be exact, it is the best teacher to collect a magic stone in his life, and it all depends on chance!
"That's the Philosopher's Stone! I've been studying at the Mage Academy for a while, and I've personally seen the Philosopher's Stone of the ** Master! I can still feel the magic of it clearly! ”
Someone in the crowd shouted.
