Chapter 162: There is a figure of speech
However, fighting spirit does not solve the problem, and hard work does not necessarily pay off.
Two days passed, and after the early morning prayers, the boys looked at the stones in their hands that still did not look visible, and they were about to cry anxiously.
They had already learned from the village chief that the assessment would end tonight, and if their work was not finished before it was over, they would have missed out on credits as precious as gold coins
Thinking that they have worked hard day and night for the past two days and nights without gaining anything, everyone's hearts seem to be poured through a bucket of ice water, wow, cool, wow, cool.
At such a time, if someone can eat barbecue next to them and watch their creation, it will be very happy
Ari was so pleased that he took a skewer of barbecue and chewed it with relish as he walked over to a teenager and watched it with interest.
After looking at it for a while, he finally figured out the identity of the four-legged and tailed animal in front of him, and couldn't help but nod his head in approval, "Leo, your kitten is well carved, cute." ”
Leo has a black line, "I'm a tiger"
"Haha, the weather is nice today. Ari was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and turned away. After a while, he stopped and watched from the other teenager's side.
"Well, this should be a tiger, powerful and domineering" Ari looked at this work that looked like Leo's work, and said with a look of certainty.
Lucas looked at him with an unkind face for a long time, making sure that he didn't come over on purpose to taunt, and then gritted his teeth and said, "This is the demon fox"
Ari""
Ai Rui felt powerless to complain, you are bullying me for not seeing the demon fox. It's really good for you to ruin the image of the demon fox like this?
Although both speculations failed, Ari became interested. Finally, under his tireless speculation and comments, he successfully aroused the strong anger of everyone
Looking at everyone's unkind gaze, Ari shook his head suddenly. Sure enough, the top students can't fit into the world of scumbags
At this moment, Leopold came to the courtyard again after two days. As soon as he stepped into the yard, his nose involuntarily sniffed, and he couldn't help but praise "so fragrant"
Seeing that Leopold was about to enter the courtyard, Ari hurriedly stuffed the last two skewers of barbecue into his mouth.
His barbecue is only available to his friends, and Leopold is out of gold. Until he has the gold, Ari can't be friends with him for a while
"Oh Leo Potter, you're not here. Ari swallowed the roast with difficulty, and looked at Leopold with a grim expression.
"What are you?" asked Leopold, looking at Eri's bulging cheeks, confused.
"Whew breakfast. Ari patted his chest and swallowed his last bite, exhaling heavily.
"How's the stonework done?" asked Leopold, not interested in his breakfast.
"With my hard work day and night, I finally completed your order not long ago. I'm telling you that you've made a lot of money, you see that the big guy hasn't made any of them, I didn't take the opportunity to raise the price, is it enough for friends" Ari smiled happily as he took out the stone carving from the space ring.
Leopold rolled his eyes, if seventy gold coins and a stone sculpture were not considered to raise the price, there would be no profiteers in the kingdom
It's just that it doesn't make much sense to say this at this time, not to mention, carving is really not easy, and you can imagine how many difficulties there are from the fact that others have not been able to complete a work in two days.
Therefore, he believed in what Ari said about carving day and night. It's just that if other people knew what he thought, they would really cry
Ari is talking about their bitter experience, okay, Ari himself is not too comfortable, he was the first to flash before the sun set, saying that staying up late hurts his liver. While everyone was concentrating, he still had time to barbecue
At this time, Leopold walked up to Ari and picked up a stone sculpture and took a serious look at it. The stone sculpture he chose was a demon ape, which was not very large, only the length of a small arm. Of course, he originally wanted to choose the carving difficulty, but considering that Ai Rui couldn't complete it, it was he who suffered the loss.
"Very well carved. Although Leopold was not very satisfied with Eri's character, he nodded with satisfaction after carefully observing them one by one. The work is indeed very good, the whole body is full of aura, even the two fangs of the demon ape are carved vividly, and a fierce feeling is about to come out.
The teenagers looked at the vivid stone carvings, their eyes were red with envy, they were the ones who carved day and night, and none of them were made, and Ari completed nine pieces quietly
Most of the common boys believed in the Goddess of Light, but at this time, for the first time, they wavered in their faith, they did not want to believe that the Goddess of Light did not help the devout believers, but gave all their grace to the boy who never prayed
Moreover, it was clear that Ari was not doing it for himself, and they could imagine how much gold Ari had earned from it.
Seeing a dirty academic money deal happening in front of them, the teenagers could only pretend not to see it. Not to mention that they can't afford to mess with Ari, even Leoper's aristocratic status is not something they can talk about.
The apothecary and the carver usually don't leave the room when they're fine, and Leopold put the stone carving away, nodded at Ari, and walked to the carver's room.
The stone carving was also handed in smoothly, and the carver passed it without asking a word, which made Leopold let out a long breath.
When he walked out of the room, he saw Ari talking to Carol, who didn't know when he arrived.
"This is your stone carving, and I've carved five of them in the past two days and I've given them to you." ”
Carol was pleasantly surprised and said, "Ari, you're so nice."
Seeing Carol's smile, Ari laughed happily as well. Turning a tsundere little Lori into a little fan girl is full of a sense of achievement.
Leopold's face instantly darkened as he listened to their conversation, and he felt that he had been deceived
Carol gave up stone carving, he knew. He now has 60 points, while Carol only has 59, and as long as Carol has no stone carvings, he will most likely finish second by one point
As a result, now Ari is actually going to send Carol five stone carvings, are you sent by the goddess to torture me?
At this time, he didn't care if he would offend Carol, he walked up to Ari, and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that you worked day and night, and you only completed it not long ago, why did you still make the stone carving?"
Ari thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if you've ever heard of a rhetorical device called exaggeration."
