Chapter 31: Gold Coins and Contracts
"That's ...... Really?" said Gal, who had been trying to maintain a noble and elegant posture after Ari, but the apprehension in his heart forced him to ask again, wanting to be more sure.
"This is the eleventh time you've asked me, and my answer is still one word - yes. It's just that...... Are you sure you can pay the gold on time?" replied nonchalantly, Ari walking ahead.
"I have a lot of gold coins. Or I'll just give you 1000 gold coins, this is my pocket money for a month. Gal laughed confidently.
"As long as you don't go back. A single gold coin can also be of great use. Ari said with a smile as he kept playing with the gold coins he had just arrived.
"Don't you regret it! With only one gold coin, even if it is twice as much as yesterday every day, how much can it last for a month, can it be more than 1,000 gold coins?" Gal wanted to laugh at the thought of Ari's request.
"Then let's wait and sign an agreement. "Ari is still a little worried.
"I'm not going to cheat! I swear by my name!" said Gal, blushing as if insulted.
"Aren't you afraid I'm going to cheat on me, then?" said Ari with a grin.
Garr was stunned for a moment, nodded fiercely and said, "That's okay, we'll sign the contract when we go back." ”
Looking at Gar's confident smile, Ari also smiled with satisfaction, it's good to be young!
Throwing the gold coin into the air again, the gold coin thrown in the air reflected a dazzling light in the nascent sunlight, and Ari couldn't help but sigh - making money is really an easy thing.
As long as you find the right wrongdoer, it is a matter of a month to become a billionaire......
"Where are we going? This is not the way to the blacksmith. Gal asked suspiciously, looking at the strange place.
"A place where you can make your wishes come true,...... It's here!" said Ari, grabbing the fallen gold coin, looking at the single-family wooden house in front of him.
The cottage is home to Elena, the village's only priest and physician. The door to the cabin didn't close, and Ari walked straight inside with Gar.
There are not many furnishings in the house, only a bouquet of flowers inserted in a bottle as a decoration, other than that, there are some neatly arranged tables and chairs, which seem simple and orderly.
Elena was sitting at the desk reading a book, when she heard the movement and looked over, she couldn't help but smile: "Eri, why are you here?
"The teacher was probably going to hit me, so I came to Sister Yelena for help. Ari said, pretending to be scared.
"Oh, what's wrong?" asked Yelena with a smile.
"Gal wants to learn how to strike iron, but the teacher doesn't agree......"
"Maybe your teacher has his own ideas? In this case, you have to communicate with the teacher so that he understands your thoughts. But even if I don't agree, how can I beat you?" Elena first glanced at Gal with a smile, persuaded like a confidant big sister, and then asked suspiciously.
"I've already taken in the apprenticeship...... "Ari said embarrassedly.
Elena: "......"
In this world, there is also a saying that the master accepts apprentices on behalf of the master, but generally due to some objective reasons, the master is not in good health or other causes the master to want to accept someone as an apprentice but has insufficient spare energy, at this time the master can arrange for the master to accept the apprentice on behalf of the master. It's the first time that a teacher like Ari is unwilling, and a disciple forcibly accepts an apprentice on his behalf......
"After all, this is a family matter, and I can't get involved," Elena was a little embarrassed, she really couldn't participate in this kind of thing.
"Garr, I'll talk to Sister Yelena alone. Ari said abruptly to Gal.
"Good. When Gal heard this, he walked out of the cabin.
"Sister Elena, you promise me," Ari saw Gal go out, and ran over to hug Elena and coquettish.
Elena: "......"
Tell Gal out just to keep him from seeing you coquettish?
"Sister Elena, Gar is the son of the ninth prince of the kingdom, and what a rare thing it is that he is willing to come to learn to strike iron with such a noble status, which shows that he really likes to strike iron. Ari said sincerely.
When she heard that Gal was the son of Tolkien, the ninth prince, Yelena's smiling eyes changed slightly, but she returned to normal in an instant.
As if Eri hadn't noticed, his big eyes were full of pity: "Sister Elena, you're going to help me, right......?"
......
"Alright?" asked Gal as Ari walked out of the cabin.
"Almost, one step away. Let's go back and sign the agreement first," Ari said with a confident expression.
The two returned to the tavern, where Henry and Tolkien also got up and were chatting in the hall. Hear about the agreement between Ari and Gal.
Henry smiled at Ari and said, "Ari, this is not your style. ”
Even Tolkien laughed, he silently calculated in his heart, two gold coins on the second day, eight gold coins on the third day, and sixteen gold coins on the fourth day, he didn't continue to count, he didn't care about this gold coin.
It's just that he was a little disappointed, he used to think that Eri's kid was different from ordinary people, and maybe he could bring some surprises, but now it seems that he is just a little stronger.
Ari doesn't care what they think, whoever is stupid will find out in a month......
"These gold coins are enough for me, for thirty days, not for one more day. Ari didn't explain, just emphasized some details.
Tolkien nodded when he heard this, contentment, something that many adults can't do, but this kid can hold on to the temptation, 1000 gold coins, enough to make ordinary people crazy a number.
"Then let's sign the oath contract. For the first time, get the official point. Since I want to sign, I will pay for the gold coins. Anyway, you won't regret what you said. Ari said with a grin.
The oath contract is the most common type of contract on the mainland. The price varies with the degree of backlash, and the cheapest one is generally around one gold coin. It was signed on the mainland in order to ensure that the agreement was reached to prevent anyone from betraying or violating it. Once a contract is signed, it must not be reversed, and if someone violates it, they will be attacked by the magic in the contract.
"Is there a need?" Tolkien frowned, he vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't find the crux of the problem.
"Sign it!" Gal was still young after all, and he couldn't help but be agitated, so he agreed without thinking.
Henry saw that the two sides had made a decision, and said nothing more. Mercenaries who come to the tavern for drinks are generally irritable and prone to bets, and in order to prevent anyone from regretting it later, a deed of oath is needed to ensure the execution of the agreement. So there are some magical contracts in the tavern in case you need them.
Henry took out an oath contract worth one gold coin at the cheapest, and at this time, all it took was for both parties to recite the spell together, and the contract was completed. If someone breaks the contract, the forces in the contract will backfire against them.
As the spell progressed, a burst of magic shone out, and then it was all included in the contract scroll, and the contract was completed!
