Chapter 616: The plot of the book
"Miss Aurelian, let's put aside the High Elves' feud with the blasphemers for now."
Qiao Xiu pulled out a booklet, and Ciri cooperated with the recent account book of the Forgottenlands branch.
"Let's do the math." Qiao Xiu said.
"Reckoning?" At this moment, Aurelian suddenly remembered some of the horrific stories that Elder Enya usually told her.
"Don't try to buy me with human money!" Aurelian said righteously, "Let me be a slave to mankind, I'd rather die!" ”
"Bought you?"
Qiao Xiu looked at the girl's resolute expression, as if she was a chaste and noble Joan of Arc.
"What she said should be described as 'this seems to be the plot of a book', right?" Ciri whispered beside her.
Congratulations... Miss Healy, you've learned a whole new one.
Qiao Xiu is not in the mood to complain with Ciri now, but he is just going to correct this high elf's secondary second illness or princess disease?
"I didn't mean to buy you, in fact you owe me a lot of money." Qiao Xiu's pen tapped on the notebook and said.
"I don't remember owing you anything!"
"Really? If I'm not mistaken, yesterday your dinner was a soup of one hundred and twenty-seven apples and some vegetables. ”
Qiao Xiu flipped through the account book handed over by Ciri, and the money spent on the import and export of this branch was recorded in the account book.
A large portion of the marketing in this ledger was provided by the High Elves who were temporarily living on the third floor, even though they hadn't paid for it yet.
"The day before yesterday, your breakfast seemed to be a dragon fruit, that thing is not cheap, only in the country of the sea, you took a whole box at one time."
The more Qiao Xiu said that Aurelian's expression became more and more ugly, this ugliness had entered the range of physical discomfort, and Aurelian had to cover his forehead and listen quietly to Qiao Xiu's 'account'.
"This is just the food for your two meals, if you count all the things you have eaten since you lived here during this time, the price will be rounded up by a fraction, and it will be about three thousand gold coins."
Joshua said a very terrifying number for civilians.
"That's enough money to buy a nice little house on the edge of Nolan."
"I didn't eat those." Aurelian still replied to Josiu with a tough attitude.
"Didn't eat?" Qiao Xiu looked at Ciri beside him.
Most of the high elves captured by Qiao Xiu are women, and they also have the need to take a bath every day, so in this case, Qiao Xiu consciously handed over the monitoring work to Ciri.
"I don't know how she did it, but she really doesn't need to say 'it smells so good' now." In another way, Ciri affirms that Aurelian is telling the truth.
Qiao Xiu also noticed that Aurelian's body was very weak now, and she had been able to survive for so many days without relying on food, and she had fulfilled her previous promise.
"Isn't it simply blind arrogance?"
Qiao Xiu saw that the High Elf had a confident smile on her face again, but her face didn't look good.
"Don't worry, you also have to charge money for the movies you watch."
"Movies?"
"It's the same one you cried and said, 'Why was the demon killed by a group of human villagers!' 'Hachiko's death is so unworthy! 'Those images. ”
When Qiao Xiu mentioned these two sentences, Aurelian's originally defeated face finally had a little blood.
"I... I didn't say that! ”
Aurelian said this, her long ears twitching, and Josiu looked inquiringly at Queitoan next to her.
The elven elder glanced at his granddaughter's reaction.
"Her ears twitch like this when she lies." Quiytoan nodded and gave Joshua an affirmative answer.
"Grandfather!"
Aurelian finally couldn't help herself at this moment and stood up directly from her seat, but her weak body made her sit back in her place again.
"If you want to deny the movie, it's okay, but the card box you are carrying can't be denied, right?"
Joshua pointed to the belt bag that Aurelian was carrying around his waist, and there was a black protozolite in it.
"Card box?"
"Hearthstone's card box."
The moment Joshua said 'Hearthstone', Aurelian's face changed.
"That's not what the remnants of the past left behind..."
Aurelian didn't expect that Hearthstone was all created by Josiu, but when Ciri and Josiu each placed two identical black crystals on the table, her words of rebuttal were instantly swallowed back into her belly.
"I lent you that card box, and the combined value of all the cards in it is about 1,000 to 1,300 gold coins." Qiao Xiu said.
"This card box can also be exchanged for money?"
Aurelian's view of human trade is already a bit confusing, aren't these cards all 'virtual items' made of inscriptions?
"Not only can it be sold for money, but it is also very expensive, the one you like to use the most, if it is of gold quality, it can be sold in the market for about 300 gold." Qiao Xiu said.
The trading price of Hearthstone cards began to decline gradually along with various discounts on the price of card packs, and it has become very stable today.
It is now rare for the Golden Legend-level Fire Demon King to sell for a sky-high price close to a few thousand gold coins, but the price of this card has been stable above a thousand gold coins.
"How can I pay it back?" Aurelian asked subconsciously.
When Qiao Xiu heard this question, he understood that this girl wanted to keep the card box.
"If you work as a waiter in the Hearthstone Tavern, I will pay you twenty-five gold coins a month, and occasionally a bonus or something, and the income will be stable at about thirty."
If Qiao Xiu remembers correctly, the treatment of working in the Hearthstone Tavern may be even better than that of some alchemy workshops.
"You want to buy that card box for the full price, let me do the math... You're going to have to serve tea and water to those humans you look down on for at least three years under my command!" ”
Three years is not a long number for the High Elves, but three full years of serving humanity is a long time for Aurelian!
"Reluctance on your face? Then there's no way, give me back the card box. Qiao Xiu held out his hand to the High Elf.
She hesitated for a moment, then took out the black primordial crystal and handed it to Qiao Xiu.
Qiao Xiu stretched out his hand to grasp the black primordial crystal, but Aurelian still held it tightly and did not let go, and her hand, which would never tremble as an archer, trembled slightly at this time.
The stalemate didn't last long, and a white cat suddenly appeared behind Aurelian's neck, and the white cat jumped down her arm onto Josiu's body.
But after the white cat broke away from Aurelian, her body weakened to a higher level, and at this moment her body was even so detached that she couldn't stand firmly... Her eyes were fixed on Qiao Xiu, and before she could say anything, she fell directly to the ground.
"I just said there must be something wrong with not eating for so long!"
Ciri glanced at the white cat standing on Josiu's shoulder, the one that had been providing energy to Aurelian.
"It looks like we'll have to talk about it another time." Qiao Xiu glanced at the black protozol in his hand, walked over to Aurelian who had fallen to the ground, and put the protozoar back in her hand.
"That's how you gave it to her?"
"This card box is the secondary deck I used a long time ago, and there are a lot of cards missing in it, but now I have collected them one after another."
The Hearthstone machine that Joshua gave Aurelian to play was a 'standalone version', with only an adventure mode in it, and defeating a certain number of lords would give you a card pack.
Judging from the current collection of cards, there is nothing excessive about calling this girl 'Liver Emperor'.
"Josieu Yanorrod, do you think she can afford the same duties as Al?"
Quiytoan glanced at Alq in the distance.
"I don't know, but the premise is that you have to ask this girl if she is interested in making her debut."
As soon as Qiao Xiu's words fell, the entire Arthur Crowe suddenly shook again, and this time the degree of vibration was different from the previous fall when the energy was exhausted.
A bad premonition permeated Qiao Xiu's heart.
