Volume 1: Age of the Dawn Chapter 22: The Gnome King
Tashan seemed a little surprised by Chen Kaiyu's straightforwardness and honesty, and he smiled.
"Thank you so much, you're a nice guy."
"It's okay, you can help me like this in the future."
Chen Kaiyu shook his hand indifferently.
"Hmm." Tower Hill nodded heavily, his voice deep and sincere.
Then Chen Kaiyu looked up at the sky.
By this time the canopy had sunken, the stars were twinkling above, and the lonely, pale moon hung high in the canopy...... The lights are bright in the distance.
This is the Inner Castle, which can already be regarded as a paradise for the Heavenly Wind Humans, where there is no war, no bloodshed and no killing, only comparison, fame, and money...... Status.
"Well, it's getting so late, don't go back to the outer city today."
Chen Kaiyu said calmly.
"Come to my house, please eat, don't leave tonight."
"Or, don't go out of the city for the next two days, because the dead period is coming soon, and no one knows how many disasters this dead period will bring......" Chen Kaiyu continued.
"You are a weathered man, and you know that in the silence of death, to sit outside the city and wait for the cold to hit is tantamount to death."
"Oh no, maybe you'll be tough enough to survive, but again, you can't just think about yourself. I can also see that your sister is very important to you, so I would like to say, even if it is for your sister's life, stay here, my room is big enough to accommodate a few of us. ”
Chen Kaiyu said quietly, living like an extremely hospitable person.
Tashan hesitated for a moment, and said with some hesitation.
"I understand your kindness, but will the city's security team manage this matter? My sister Su Huo and I don't have a city permit......"
"It's fine." Chen Kaiyu immediately waved his hand indifferently.
"Believe me, during the dead period, such as these days, there will be no security officers in the city to check, and they are all hiding at home and busy hiding from the snowstorm and the bitter cold......," Chen Kaiyu comforted.
After listening to Chen Kaiyu's explanation, Tashan's face loosened slightly.
"That's not appropriate, is it?"
"It's okay, I'm not too troublesome at all, and I can tell from your quality that you're a good friend worth making." Chen Kaiyu said firmly.
"Besides, I don't want such a lovely girl to be left in the wilderness and endure the bitter cold of the dead period."
Chen Kaiyu's words are full of youthful enthusiasm.
"Well, I'm sorry for you." Tashan bowed slightly, stretched out his left hand and placed it on his chest, as if performing the most noble and ancient knightly etiquette of ancient times.
Chen Kaiyu glanced at Tashan's movements in surprise, he had seen this gorgeous posture in ancient books, it seemed that only very noble families would perform the etiquette, which represented an extreme nobility and majesty.
Anyway...... The Eastern Coastal Union does not have such an ancient family, and no one will use this ancient etiquette.
"You're not a local, are you? Tower Hill. Chen Kaiyu asked suspiciously.
"It's not." Tashan shook his head, "As for my origin and my sister's origin, I can't tell you. Tashan replied sincerely.
"Hmm." Chen Kaiyu nodded, "It's nothing, everyone has their own secrets, it's human, it's all about being a little hidden, so that there will be hope for the future, and there will be a little hope, isn't it?" ”
Chen Kaiyu looked at Tashan and said.
"Well, thank you for your understanding." Tashan nodded.
"Well, I would like to ask you, what is the reason why you are doing this without caring about the result?" Tashan wondered.
Chen Kaiyu smiled and waved his hand indifferently.
"In order to help you, I can't hide it, I also spent the first half of my life in the wilderness, and only my sister Chen Xiaoyue accompanied me at that time,"
Chen Kaiyu stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly:
"Now, then, follow me to buy something to spend that damn dead period."
"Okay." Tashan nodded in response.
……
Dark bazaar.
In a dilapidated room, thick tattered blankets and quilts stacked on wooden beds.
In this era, blankets and quilts do not seem to make any difference between untouchables and outcasts outside the city, anyway, as long as they can be warmed, whether it is a blanket or a quilt, as long as they can be used......
"Boss, how much do these four blankets cost?" Chen Kaiyu asked cautiously.
He looked at the rickety dwarf villain crouching in the corner coughing, this is the owner of this clothing store.
He's small and old, but this guy is rich enough to hire some well-equipped security guards.
Standing at the door of the clothing store were two samurai holding steel swords, the swords were bright and bright, and the sharp cold glow on them could give people a feeling of total fear and coldness.
These were the warriors of this dwarf dwarf named Hahiwen, and of course, there was more to it than that.
There are also some behemoths hidden in the dark depths, which is why this old guy has been able to settle in this place for many years.
This old guy has his own guard.
At the same time, it is rumored that he still has some power and connections in the court of Tianfeng Inner Castle, otherwise his shop would not have chosen to fall in such a prime location.
Right in the middle of the dark bazaar, this clothing store is perfect, with a lot of foot traffic, and the goods he sells are all lifestyle essentials......
At the same time, anyone who has been in this dark bazaar for many years will know that Hai Xiwen will secretly trade weapons with the big people who came out of the baronial organization, and Hai Xiwen has made extremely high profits from the transactions here......
This kind of transaction also increases the chances of his survival, because it makes others more taboo against him, makes others more afraid to move him rashly, and increases the chances of saving his life.
Moreover, Haxiwen's reputation in this vast dark bazaar is very high, and for no other reason, this old dwarf often spends his money to support and rescue some of the young dwarfs who have come to live here......
In this gloomy era, this noble act of righteousness has completely won the hearts and support of those young dwarfs who have not been deeply involved in the world.
Therefore, here, this old dwarf is fully worthy of the status and title of king.
……
"Fifteen white source coins and a blanket, don't bargain, take it casually, this thing is a very rare and contentious item in this season, so it is higher than the market price."
"Let's come to Shijo." Chen Kaiyu handed the sixty Baiyuan coins in his hand to the old dwarf.
The old dwarf looked at Chen Kaiyu in surprise, he had been operating in this shop for so many years, it was not that he had never seen that kind of wealthy creature, but it was the first time he had heard Chen Kaiyu's unwavering pleasure.
This young man is a good seedling, he doesn't drag things out, and he is a good seedling.
The old dwarf stepped out of the shadows and deliberately paid attention to Chen Kaiyu's body, but just for a glance, he immediately took the source coin.
"Move, Tower Hill." Chen Kaiyu commanded.
"Hmm." Tower Hill nodded.
"This guy is really strong, young man, would you be interested in working with me?" After the old dwarf understood Tashan, he couldn't help but exclaim.
Listening to his words, Chen Kaiyu didn't say a word, Tashan hesitated for a while, and said.
"Well, I'll think about it, and if I have time, I'll come here and apply." Tashan gave the old dwarf a very pertinent answer.
"Haha, that's good."
After the old dwarf knew that there was a play, he couldn't help but laugh.
"When this damn silence is over, I'll wait for your arrival." The old dwarf stretched out his arm and patted Tashan's sturdy calf, and the head of the household exclaimed.
"I'll give you the highest price and let you be my personal bodyguard."
"Hmm." Tower Hill nodded imperceptibly.
Next, Chen Kaiyu and Tashan slowly walked through the dim and dilapidated streets.
Both were cautious, and their eyes were filled with extreme vigilance.
Because in such a cold, dim and chaotic place, no one can guarantee what will happen next......
It is very likely that a creature who covets their wealth will come and raid and loot......
And in order to avoid the occurrence of this incident and the probability of capsizing, Chen Kaiyu and Tashan are very cautious, they are guarding against greed and chaos in the dark night.
"Well, I'll go buy some food, you wait for me outside, I'll come when I go, soon, you have to be careful alone." Chen Kaiyu kindly reminded.
"Understood, you have to believe in my strength, no one will come to rob it, and even if it does, I promise, he will never succeed, and I will vouch for my life."
Tashan patted his strong chest heroically.
You feel that it is easier to struggle alone, and it will only increase the pressure if you are not motivated.
Because no matter what the question, there must be an answer.
There were still twenty Baiyuan coins left, and there were still twenty Baiyuan coins left, and Chen Kaiyu decided to leave only five Baiyuan coins to deal with the unexpected needs.
At the same time, he will exchange all the fifteen Baiyuan coins for food.
Without the jerky feeling and cautiousness of the first shopping, Chen Kaiyu became generous, and did not have the cautious feeling when he first came here.
As he said, he went directly to the candy area and chose some cheap candy for Su Huo, the little girl.
Although it is the cheapest, it is enough to match the price of meat.
In this era, candy is very precious, and it can almost be matched with a special label for the nobility.
Next, Chen Kaiyu came to the meat area and chose some dried meat from the flame dog......
