Chapter 118: Contenders
When the owner of the jewelry store heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in surprise and surprise, quickly rubbed his hands together and nodded at Finn, and then stretched out five fingers to everyone.
"Fifty silver coins?" Leah crossed his hands and guessed as he looked at his five fingers.
The shopkeeper shook his head.
"Five gold coins." Then corrected.
"What, five gold coins?" Leah was stunned for a moment, then propped her hands on the counter, and the twisted braid on the side of her maroon medium and long hair shook with it, "Hey, you're blackmailing!" ”
"Five gold coins are really too expensive. The chick has not yet grown up and cannot be seen as an adult. Echoing Leah's question, Finn simply pretended not to understand, and asked the shopkeeper while continuing to observe the little owl in the cage, "So, give us a little discount, can you give us four gold coins?" ”
He casually made an offer of four gold coins to the shopkeeper, but in fact he knew that the other party would definitely not agree, after all, one gold coin in the Ferdia continent was equivalent to a hundred silver coins, and a hundred silver coins was a lot of living expenses for most of the natives of this world.
And, for businessmen, the act of letting go of the price can sometimes give other potential customers the impression that "this idiot is easy to be taken in" rather than "this good guy is really generous".
"That's not good, sir." So after three seconds, the owner of the jewelry store pretended to think about it, and then said with a wry smile, "Sir, you see, this little guy's coat color is pure white, and it is rare to see such a noble color on the coast of the St. Furn Sea. ”
"That means, no bargaining, right?"
"After all, you can't let yourself lose money. The two gentlemen, this young lady, although they have some savings in the next family, are businessmen after all, I hope you can understand. ”
"Okay then." Finn shrugged his shoulders and put his hand into his purse to pay, ostensibly approving the shopkeeper's offer, but inwardly apologizing to the shopkeeper, begging him not to hold a grudge against him when the tide of demons came and learned the true value of the little owl.
You must know that although the instant combat power of [Wind Spirit Chick] is still far inferior to the final form of [Eye of the Storm], once this kind of magic pet grows up under the domestication of the caster according to the normal rhythm, they will transform into the next stage of [Wind Spirit] at a very fast speed, and then continue to grow towards the stage of [Gray Lan Wings].
The growth rate of [Wind Spirit's Chick] is not slow among the demon pets, and the great demon tide that will soon descend on this world will make this growth rate even faster, so much so that Ferdia players have agreed that the value of many demon pets was seriously underestimated by the aboriginal NPCs of this world before the [Great Demon Tide] expansion pack update.
The owner of the jewelry store was still complacent about his ability to sell a pet bird to Finn for five gold coins, but he didn't know that Pol was a magical creature with great potential, not to mention that it could sell for at least fifty gold coins in the hands of a professional wizard merchant right now, and even five hundred gold coins in the auction house when the magic tide came.
Finn said sorry to the shopkeeper, and his hand had already taken the gold coins from his purse to place them on the glass case. However, at this moment, Fein suddenly felt a person running quickly from the door of the shop, raised his arm and squeezed himself to the side, and then stretched out his other hand and slapped five gold coins in front of the shopkeeper with a "snap", and dropped a sentence: "Shopkeeper, I want this owl." ”
The guy who suddenly broke into the shop was a dark-haired man with a strong physique, a somewhat fierce face, and wheat-brown skin. As soon as his words fell, he immediately lifted the birdcage and turned around to leave quickly, but the next second he turned his head and took a step back, he felt that someone was grabbing the arm of his other hand from behind, and then looked back at Finn who found himself behind him.
"What are you doing, boy?" The man's brows tightened, and he immediately raised his voice and scolded Finn, "Let go!" ”
As he spoke, he twisted his arm impatiently to break free of Finn, but Finn's strength was no less than his own. After a few seconds of stalemate, the black-haired man became furious, and with the birdcage he was holding in his other hand, he lifted the side of his clothes and drew a short sword for self-defense from a short leather sheath hidden underneath.
The birdcage, which was then thrown by the man, fell to the ground like a hamster ball and rolled for a while, startling the fat owl named Pol inside, and then fell from the small bar and rolled with the cage.
The black-haired man took the unsheathed dagger into the palm of his right hand and threw his arm in Finn's face. Finn was inconvenient to use the Moonlight Greatsword in the shop, so he immediately withdrew back from the range of the short sword, glanced sideways at the shopkeeper with a frightened face next to him, and then also pulled out a silver longsword from a scabbard hanging from his belt.
The silver sword in Finn's hand was covered with scars that he couldn't bear to look at, so blunt that he had already lost the lethality of a weapon.
The young paladin had kept the curly silver sword by his side, and now he pulled it out, just in time to take advantage of the fact that the sword had lost its lethality to avoid accidents, and then stepped forward to stab the sword out of the face of the black-haired man with the short sword.
Although the blade of the silver sword was already blunt like a flat thin stick, in this very short moment, the black-haired man holding the short sword did not dare to directly eat Fein's sword with his body, and immediately avoided the side of his body. He turned sideways, the corner of his eye suddenly widened, but Finn's action just now was nothing more than a realistic stab, and the curled silver sword immediately turned and lifted up against the short sword in his hand.
Finn's strength was too terrifying for ordinary humans, and the black-haired man gritted his teeth, feeling that the short sword in his hand was uncontrollably picked off by Finn's sword, and then fell to the ground with a "clang".
The man's nerves tightened, and he immediately withdrew his numb wrist and took a step back to stare at Finn. After shooting down the other man's weapon, Fein had time to take a good look at the stranger who had been killed halfway, and saw that the other party was a mountain man from the Rasverne hills, but his neat clothes proved that he was at least not an alien countryman.
"Shameless robbers." After the two sides confronted each other again, the black-haired mountain man glared at Finn a little weakly, and the corner of his eyes lowered from time to time to peek at the birdcage that rolled between the two, "I have already paid just now, and you dare to rob on the spot?" ”
"Robbery? Are you talking about me? Listening to the other party's sophistry, Finn smiled coldly, "Well, I have heard that the citizens of Orland are well-mannered gentlemen or ladies, and your rude and barbaric behavior is contrary to my impression of this place. ”
"You-!" The mountain man gritted his teeth.
He said that he could not help Finn, and it was inconvenient to retreat with his whole body, and he was very embarrassed for a while, so he had to let the dilemma eyes under his forehead look at the door of the store as if he was seeking something, and then his eyes lit up, as if a dog that had bitten someone had found its owner.
The man's eyes aroused the curiosity of everyone present, so Finn, Leah, Lilith, and the shopkeeper, who had just recovered from shock, all followed the man's gaze to the door of the shop, and immediately saw a blonde man in a fine gown and a fluffy cloak on his shoulders walking into their sight with four followers.
Looking at the five people who then walked into the store led by the blonde man, the owner of the jewelry store looked at the blonde man with a rather aristocratic aura, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken, and then his eyes widened and he said, "Tai, Lord Tarks?"
