14. The Victory of a Bicycle (Changed)
"Damn it! Look what you've done! Old Jack's hotel made you blow up like this! You have to compensate! 100 gold! No! 1000 gold! You damn bastard! The innkeeper's cursing did not attract the attention of the dejected-looking goblin, whose soul seemed to be dead, and no one could wake him up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Seeing that this guy ignored himself, the innkeeper's curses were even more unbearable, and he angrily asked people to notify the law enforcement team, and then unilaterally increased the compensation price.
Zhang Li felt that he needed to help the goblin, of course, not because of that side, but because he saw the explosion thing, which was shaped like a motorcycle, which made him have a conjecture.
So, with Ivy looking at the unrecognizable broken car with curiosity, Zhang Li walked up to the goblin.
"Is that you? What, do you know this guy? The goblin boss saw Zhang Li coming, his eyes lit up, and then he said, "Then I think you must be willing to pay compensation for him!" You must not be the kind of person who would die for a friend, right? β
Zhang Li didn't pay attention to the goblin boss, but squatted in front of the "acquaintance" by himself, thinking about his name, but he didn't think of it.
"What's your name, Kivis? Not right! Kipps or what? β
It may be that Zhang Li's voice is very magnetic (he thinks he thinks), the goblin looked up a few times, maybe because it was because of several years, he looked at it for a long time before he said uncertainly: "Are you the eagle~~ Ao, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Sky Elf?" Perhaps the experience of being caught by the harpy man was so bizarre that he was impressed, and he could even recognize a little bit of Zhang Li's shadow when he was a child.
Hearing the name of this race that he had made randomly, Zhang Li smiled, and then said, "That's right, it's me." β
The word prince may have stimulated the goblin boss behind them, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and then he said, "Ao! Oh, my God! You're a prince! Then I think you will be willing to help this poor egg pay off the compensation of 3,000 gold coins! β
Zhang Li still ignored him, just looking at the goblin in front of him.
After hearing that Zhang Li affirmed his identity, the goblin's eyes were instantly full of light, and he immediately crawled over and grabbed Zhang Li's trouser leg, regardless of Zhang Li's disgusted kick of him, and said with tears in his eyes: "My lord! You must save me! β
"Tell me what happened first, so I can decide whether to save you or not." Zhang Li saw that he couldn't let go after several hard kicks, and considered that he would have to change into new clothes and pants in a while, so he let him catch it.
"That's right, my lord, after you let us go, we were forced to return to Gatkisson after a lot of hardship, but because our goods were looted by pirates, I was saddled with a huge debt, and after years of hard work, I finally saved some money to see if I could pay off the debt by racing, but now my car actually exploded! Gold on top! Curse that damn engineer! He clearly said that this work is foolproof! In his opinion, even if he is a brain-dead eagle, but as a prince of a race, he must be very rich, Zhang Li may be his big savior.
Zhang Li didn't understand what it meant to be forced, but it didn't matter, because he really wanted to be the great savior of this goblin, and when he saw his broken car, he was sure that this goblin must have won the right to participate, which is why Zhang Li intended to help him.
Because he had already decided to help this goblin, Zhang Li's tone seemed very relaxed, and he said, "Then how much do you owe?" β
"1,764 gold coins!"
"Oh my God! You owe so much gold! I've never seen that many gold coins in my life! You poor bastard! What about my compensation money! Before Zhang Li could be surprised, the goblin boss became "annoyed and angry".
The two ignored him again, and then Zhang Li said, "It's not impossible to help you pay back the money, but you have to do me a small favor." β
The unlucky goblin immediately nodded desperately: "Good! Good! Don't say it's a little favor, you just want my life! β
"Oh! You're so rich! A goblin boss who had been ignored said in surprise, his expression becoming docile.
"Well, then you can come with me." After speaking, he forcibly broke his hands with his telekinesis, and then Zhang Li walked towards his room.
The goblin smiled and was about to follow, but the goblin boss finally couldn't help but stand in front of the two of them, and said to Zhang Li with a flattering face: "Look, Your Royal Highness the Rich Prince, did you pay my compensation first?" β
Zhang Li pointed to the goblin behind him and said, "You go and tell him about the compensation, and you will come to me after you have settled it." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Maybe he saw hope, at this moment the unlucky goblin's eyes flashed treacherously, he smiled at the innkeeper, and said with a treacherous smile: "This, you see, according to the trade terms of our hot sand group, once the transaction is accepted, if the relevant terms of the contingency are not signed, then all contingencies are borne by both parties, you see, I have already paid the room fee, and you have not signed the contingency terms, then I will pay you at most...... Kindness...... 3 gold coins. β
With that, he pulled out three foul-smelling gold coins from the seams of his shoes and handed them to the innkeeper.
"Oh! No! You damned profiteer! Three gold coins is not enough for the loss of my furniture! You don't want to send me away for three gold coins! The goblin boss's eyes were blood-red at this time, as if he wanted to eat people, but the goblin was unmoved.
"If you don't accept it, then we can only wait for the law enforcement team to adjudicate this matter, but at that time, it is possible that you will not get three gold coins for practice, hehe."
"You!" The goblin boss looked at the cunning profiteer viciously, and his palms clicked, but the cunning goblin looked confident.
"Take it, my friend, know that time is money............"
ββββββββββ dividing line for profiteersββββββββββ
A moment later, there was a knock on the door of Zhang Li's room.
"Come in." The goblin, who was missing half an ear, walked in with a flattering face.
"Everything is settled?"
The goblin nodded smugly.
Zhang Li didn't ask anything more, and suddenly he remembered that he hadn't remembered his name, so he said, "By the way, what is your name?" β
"Back to Your Royal Highness the Prince, my name is Garives."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
ββββββββ dividing line for winning the gameββββββββββ
Two days later, on the day of the race, twenty racers who had won the right to participate in the race had stopped at the starting line with their cars, these goblin engineering mobility tools were very peculiar in shape, Zhang Li saw two-wheeled motorcycles, and also saw three wheels and four wheels, and even N wheels, of course, there are mechanical chocobos like this, but one of the most laughable is a goblin with half of his ears missing, and his racing car is actually a wooden and simple bicycle, And it's the kind that can only move by kicking the ground on your feet.
Everyone is laughing when they look at this car, only Zhang Li's face is expressionless, this car is so simple that even the tires are oval, and the victory bet on this broken car in the casino has reached the level of 1:50, but no fool will buy it at all, only one person has spent 10 gold coins to buy this guy to win, which is really laughable, in the eyes of others, that person is either brain-packed, or completely brainless.
But looking at the driver of the broken car, he looked confident, as if the world was in his hands.
It was time to play, and with the referee's whistle, a slow guy slowly ran out of the starting line.
The spectators didn't know why everyone else didn't move, didn't they hear the start instructions?
But apparently not, the others were sweating profusely driving their cars, and they could hear the engine spinning wildly, but strangely, the car didn't move, as if there was a huge force pulling them.
"What's going on? Is the ground lube today? The audience couldn't help but think, "But why does that broken car move?" βγ
At this time, perhaps the horsepower of the engine was turned up too much, and one of the cars actually "boom!" There was an explosion that affected many of the surrounding vehicles, and an ogre's racing car was lucky enough to be blown out a few paces, putting him in second place.
The main race team also noticed that something was wrong, and they immediately sent people to observe, but the result of the observation was that there was no problem with the road at all, and the problems were all in these cars, but what was wrong with the car was none of the main race's business, although this game was very weird, but there was a car that was indeed running, so they did not give the order to suspend the race for the time being.
Zhang Li expected that maybe if he didn't let him go, today's game would be canceled, so he decided to withdraw his mental power and let them go out for a run.
The audience was relieved to see the other cars move, and they felt that as long as these cars moved, then the luck of the lucky bicycle in front of them would come to an end.
But the strange thing happened again, before a few steps were taken, under the control of Zhang Liwei, another car exploded, although some explosions can be seen in the usual races, but those were all exploded after the car drove far away, far from the explosion in front of such a thrilling explosion, and under the explosion of this car, several more cars were affected, the same explosion occurred, under the chain of explosions, in the end only two of the most dilapidated garbage tricycles drove out, the audience was confused at this time, they saw such a game for the first time, At the beginning of the starting line, the top three "strong" races have already been decided.
The horsepower of the two most broken cars is really rubbish, one even broke down for unknown reasons, the driver also came down to repair it, and then it trembled and moved, the other although it was very lucky to chase the bicycle, but the bicycle ran fast as if it had magic, the little short legs of the goblin kicked the ground quickly, and the bicycle flew towards the end, the wooden broken car even fell apart when it was halfway through, but it was incredible that even if there was only one wheel, the broken car was still moving fast, Then the first place was won in the eyes of everyone, followed by the second and third places, and the competition was over.
It was a boring race that made everyone not cheer for the winner, in their opinion, it was just three lucky winners, and if it weren't for the explosion of a few bad quality cars, the top three had nothing to do with them at all, not that no one suspected that there was something weird in it, but they didn't have the evidence and couldn't do anything.
So, Zhang Li got a bet of 500 gold coins, which can be said to be a full load, and Garieves also got a bonus of 1500 gold coins, which made his arrears become more than 200, although there are still arrears, but more than 200 at least let him see the hope of living, and Zhang Li also told him that as long as he goes to the territory of the Screaming Eagle Man, he can get a lot of bipedal Wyvern fur, which makes Garieves completely relieved, Zhang Li even promised that he can become the only goblin who can trade with the Eagle Man, he seemed to see countless gold coins beckoning at him.
Zhang Li needs such a merchant who is not afraid of the Harpy to trade with the Harpy, although the goblins may be a little greedy, but it is not a loss to trade some civilization products with the useless things of the Harpy.
With the heavy 500 gold coins, Zhang Li felt that the fund for crossing the sea should be enough, and if this was not enough, then Zhang Li planned to go directly to capture the pirate ship, and then force the pirates to take them across the sea.
With money, after that, with Ivy a big purchase, beautiful silk clothes, exquisite jewelry, Ivy suddenly became a rich lady, under the decoration looks extravagant, Zhang Li also put on the long-lost silk products, the whole person looks even more heroic, with the holy light flowing in his body, he is definitely a deception to act as a god stick now.
The next day, they set off towards Gakison.
