"Mr. Karl, Mr. Karl......"

Seeing that Carl seemed to be in a daze, little Lucy hurriedly shouted a few times.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm fascinated!"

Carl came to his senses, raised his necklace, shook the coin with the mysterious snake pattern on it, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, thank you Daddy John for me, if you have the chance, I will ask Daddy John to have a few more drinks." ”

Speaking of this, Carl suddenly remembered that he still owed Daddy John the money for food and lodging! Suddenly he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, speaking of which, he earned two silver horns today, which was enough to pay off Daddy John's arrears.

As a result, he didn't expect that he suddenly awakened the knight's bloodline and ate most of the food stored in Daddy John's Tavern in one go, and the price of these foods was far from enough for two silver horns.

Almost as soon as dinner came, Karl was again in debt, and this time he had to wait at least ten days as a scribe to pay off the money.

Now Karl finally understood why Princess Alicia had the impression that King Gusta was always worried about the kingdom's finances. Not because of anything else, but because the knights of the Northland are too good to eat - although the knight's combat power is not directly proportional to the amount of food, and the knights of destiny such as Princess Alicia will even gradually need to eat and drink because of the alienation of their bodies, but that is a small number of scenes.

In the whole world, the largest number is still the low-level knights at the bottom, and the ice and snow grinding in the north has allowed the kingdom of Ray Grace to maintain the number of awakened knights that others envy, but this price is a huge consumption of food and materials, and it has always been a huge burden on the country's finances.

"Money, money, lack of money, lack of money, I'm too short of money!"

Thinking of this, Carl couldn't help but have a headache, not only was the kingdom of Ryan short of money, but he himself was also short of money now, if his future food was as terrible as today, then even if he worked hard, he couldn't support himself!

"Lack of money?"

This time, even little Lucy accidentally overheard Carl's chatter and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Carl, do you need money very much?"

"Of course I need to, and you can see how horrible my meal is today!"

Karl couldn't help but sigh and explained to little Lucy: "The knight's bloodline contains this powerful power, but these powerful powers are not obtained out of thin air. ”

"The more high-energy and nutritious the food, the greater the effect on the junior knight. The genius children of those powerful royal families and noble families, the daily staple food, and even the flesh and blood of precious magical creatures. ”

Carl knew from Princess Alicia's memories that wurm ribs were a common staple in her childhood recipes — and rarer ingredients like icefin seals, blizzard ice bears, and icefield reindeer were occasionally present.

It can even be said that the reason why magical creatures are so rare in the wild of Aurora today is not so much because they are killed because they compete with humans for living space, but because they are because the increasingly swollen appetites of the knights have been killed.

Nowadays, in all parts of the continent, except for some dragon blood creatures with strong fecundity, it is becoming less and less rare to see truly wild magical creatures. So much so that even the royal family and the big nobles, in order to replenish energy and nutrition, had to start trying to artificially raise some magical beasts.

In addition, some royal families would regularly gather knights and adventurers to go to the unexplored wilderness to hold grand hunting games and capture some truly cherished magical creatures.

This is not a safari game played by those nobles in the forests of their own territory, but a real deep into the wild and exotic lands to play their lives, and many knight-level characters fall into it every time, but there are still countless freelancers and adventurers who are eager for this kind of adventure - compared to the unlucky ones who fall into it, the lucky ones who return with the spoils of war and get huge bonuses and the victors recruited by the big men are undoubtedly more eye-catching and crazy.

"Moreover, in addition to food, the knight's cultivation also requires secret ointments, incense, potions and other auxiliary items, all of which are precious alchemy products, whether it is to buy materials or ready-made products, it requires a lot of money......

The more Carl thought about it, the more he felt that this world was no different from the world in his previous life, except for the existence of supernatural powers, they all needed money for everything, and they all needed money to do everything!

Money!money!money!money!penny to kill the hero!

"Mr. Karl......"

Little Lucy's eyes couldn't help but widen, and quietly remembered what Carl said, Carl didn't know that some of the things he said casually might be precious secrets that civilians would never have access to in their lifetime.

"Mr. Karl, if you need money so much, why don't you start recruiting apprentices like other scholars?

Little Lucy couldn't help but suggest to Carl: "When I was still working as a domestic servant in a rich man's house, I heard the servants whispering that their lord was an upstart with little background, and had always hoped to find a scholar who knew the secret history of various forces as a tutor and personal advisor, and also offered an annuity of three hundred gold talers, but none of the scholars were willing to be his tutor and personal advisor......

"Three Hundred Gold Taler ......"

Carl couldn't help but touch his nose, and suddenly felt as if he had underestimated the value of the knowledge he possessed.

"Ahem!"

In order to hide his embarrassment, Carl coughed lightly and said, "Little Lucy, did you remind me that it's time to teach you a lesson!"

"Well, Mr. Karl, I didn't mean that......"

Little Lucy's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly waved her hand and explained again and again: "Hug, sorry, I didn't mean that, I just ......"

"Haha, I know!"

Seeing little Lucy's helpless appearance, Carl couldn't help laughing, deliberately teasing little Lucy and said, "I know you didn't mean to, but I'm very satisfied with your house, so I decided to teach you to learn words now." ”

"Of course, you also know that knowledge is priceless, and if you want to learn knowledge, you have to pay a price. ”

In order to make up for his embarrassment, the cautious Carl also decided to tease Lucy's little girl, so he deliberately pretended to be serious and asked, "So, are you ready to pay the price now?"

Little Lucy couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and suddenly as if she remembered something, her face turned red suddenly, and then her eyes widened, and Mr. Carr looked serious.

"Mr. Karl—"

"I thought you were a good person!"

"Well, of course I'm a good person!"

Looking at little Lucy, who looked serious, Carl suddenly realized that he seemed to have overplayed, which made little Lucy misunderstand something.

Suddenly, he quickly interrupted Little Lucy's words, and said seriously: "I want you to know the price of Dao knowledge, in the ancient Gulosta Empire, when the mage was like an apprentice when he passed on precious magical knowledge, he asked. ”

"Are you ready to die for the truth?"

"Can you afford to pay the price of searching for the truth?"

"You, can ......"

In order to prove that his words and deeds are not a joke, but have a deep historical tradition in them, Carl deliberately moved out the "Ten Questions of the Mage" from the depths of his memory that the magicians of the ancient Lotta Empire officially granted the apprentice the knowledge inheritance ceremony to fool little Lucy

And in order to be a little more like, he deliberately held little Lucy's hand, pressed it on the ancient parchment book he brought out from the convent, and took little Lucy to take the oath and answer one by one.

However, when he finished asking the last of the mage's ten questions, the Sheepskin Scroll, which had been unresponsive, suddenly erupted with tremendous power.
