Chapter 22: The Poor
Roy knew very well that Nakia was lying, but he could only pinch his nose and pretend to believe it, after all, in the current situation, he had no reason to recognize Naguia, and rashly revealing Naguia's identity would only make her wary, and once the impression was left, it would be even more difficult to change it.
Lylia stepped out of the carriage, holding the magic robe that Nagia had changed, and washed it vigorously with the water from the lake on both sides of the road, leaving water stains on the spot, and twisted the robe vigorously, and the lake water dripped very little. This kind of velvet fabric is the most absorbent and needs to be wrung clean thoroughly before it can be put on a shelf to dry.
Nakia quickly got out of the carriage, dressed in the same style of magic robe, and shouted thank you to Roy.
Roy waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and Vivien got out of the carriage and leaned in front of Roy, describing Nagia pulling out a robe the size of his robe from the bag around his waist, like those magicians who perform for civilians at festivals.
Roy smiled and patted Vivian's head, he knew very well that it was a matter of course to have one or two space props with Nagia's status, and carrying space props with him could save a lot of unnecessary trouble unconsciously when he went out, after all, all sober people understood how noble the status of the owner of space props was, and even he was the son of an earl who could not get one.
Roy's reaction made Nagia a little dissatisfied, using space props to carry out a covert demonstration was a little careful thinking of her, although Roy and the others saved him once, but for her, they were all strangers, and there should be precautions and demonstrations.
But this little bit of caution is nothing in Roy's eyes, he knows the details of Naguia, and now is the time to use his brains to tie Naguia to his ship, no matter what Naguia thinks, it makes sense to tie up people.
After thinking about it for a while, Roy couldn't think of a suitable way, so he could only stubbornly pretend to be casual and ask: "I saw that you loaded the lymphatic fluid of those fishmen, but what do you want their head scales to do......
Roy is also the last spellcaster, and he can't understand Nagia's method of collecting fish head scales, this kind of smelly scales have no alchemy value, and in the eyes of the player, it is a pile of worthless waste, Roy's words are not finished, he suddenly remembered the most troublesome part of the cycle task in this area, obtaining mermaid head scales, could it be that Nagia is now short of money?
Roy's eyes looked Nagia up and down, the clothes were fine, the hair was already messy, and he looked a little down, but as a magician, he could make some magic scrolls without worrying about food and clothing, how could he fall into taking on mercenary tasks and using the fishman's head scales to earn extra money?
Seeing Roy's inquiring eyes, Nagia suddenly guessed his thoughts, and hurriedly pretended not to care and looked around.
The more valuable tasks in the mercenary mission were all taken down by those mercenary groups, and only the reward for this task was quite good, and Nagia took it without thinking about it, after all, if he couldn't earn money, Nagia would be on the streets tonight, and those street rats would be companyed.
Roy is now completely convinced that she really has no money, he looked at Nagia with pity, obviously the daughter of a super strong man, with a lot of resources and noble status, and can even call some high-level mages, but now, he is forced to do mercenary tasks to eat, which is really a bit too miserable.
Probably because the message of pity in Roy's eyes was too explicit, Nagia stomped on the ground angrily, and said angrily: "I just don't have any money now, so I have to do this hellish task, do you have any opinions?" ”
Roy shook his head with a smile and said, "Our group is going to Liminosi, if I can, I am willing to hire you as our escort, and the reward is one gold coin a day, what do you think?" ”
For Roy now, the more unlucky Nagia is, the better, so that he can have the opportunity to use the hired way to take Nagia with him, waiting for the right time to pretend to inadvertently tell her about the Necromantic Legion.
Nagia straightened his robe, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Yes, but I'm good at more magic, can it increase to one and a half a day?" ”
Roy finally couldn't hold back and laughed, it seemed that this pearl of Isula was tortured by reality, and now he could earn a little more, he nodded and agreed to Nagia's request.
There is no problem with how to spend such a thing as gold coins, the key is to get the corresponding results, and the reward of one and a half gold coins a day in exchange for time with Nakia is obviously extremely cost-effective.
There was obviously a trace of loss in Nagia's eyes, she didn't expect Roy to agree so quickly, but it seemed that her asking price was a little low, but now it was not good to open her mouth to raise the price again, so she could only secretly compete with herself,
Roy didn't say anything, and let Nagia sit in the carriage with supplies, beckoning everyone to go on the road together.
The Liangjian Gorge is not short, and it takes about a day to enter and come out, and then through a forest, and you can reach Liminosi in a day.
In the evening, the group set up a tent at the edge of the woods, and Nagia used a tube of crystal powder from her package to scatter it in a circle around the camp, and carefully put it away when it was finished.
Roy raised his nose, a special aroma with a slight bitter taste spread from all around, the source was the powder sprinkled by Najia, seeing Roy sniffing, Nakia pursed his lips and said: "It is the powder of the dragon's feces dried and ground, the smell can dispel most of the demonic beasts, and can prevent some nocturnal demonic beasts from breaking into the camp in the middle of the night." He looked a little evil, and looked at Roy like he was looking at a turtle in the countryside.
Roy touched his nose embarrassedly, he really hadn't seen the method of air-dried and ground dragon dung used to defend the camp, even if the players in the game came out at night, the establishment of the camp could be saved, and I had never seen a local tyrant use dragon dung as a protective circle, not to mention that dragon dung is very difficult to obtain, even if there is, it will be collected and refined with the dragon breath contained in the potion, and the material of the top of the elixir Moon Shadow has the material of dragon dung.
Probably because of the dry dragon dung, the camp was surprisingly peaceful all night, and not even a fox appeared, which made Klein, who was on vigil, extremely surprised, and even more convinced of the mystery of the magician, but the impression of the mysterious and powerful young magician collapsed when Naguia got up in the morning and carefully collected the dragon dung sprinkled around with a small brush, and no matter how powerful the magician is, he is a poor man who needs to save money to live.
