#19.Slave Swap?
What Ballard said was: Save it, the Staff of Igdrasil is precious enough to buy a ship, and if you want to, someone has to be able to afford it.
Of course, Lena will definitely not give up so easily.
After all, the seaside city of Chartinia is notoriously rich, not only because the residents who live here are quite wealthy, but also as a port city, there are also rich merchants and nobles among the travelers who come and go.
It's not that hard to really sell.
So Ballard quickly added another sentence after saying this.
The addition was what made Lena give up the idea of selling her staff once and for all.
"The main thing is that there is no auction house here, if you want to sell it at a fixed price......"
"You can shut up."
Oh, this witch lady is actually holding back a wave of prices.
At this point, things almost reached an impasse, and just as she regained the idea of "just go grab a ship", Heine's stomach protested and broke the silence in the room.
The sudden drumming of her stomach made Heine's whole face blush like a monkey's buttocks.
Adhering to the concept of "if you go to the hall to eat, you may meet some crazy person", Lena decided to go downstairs to the hall to eat.
At the same time, I also want to rely on this opportunity to collect some other information.
The conversation in the room didn't take long, and when I came to the downstairs hall, the faces of drinking and chatting hadn't changed much.
Seeing Ballard lead the two of them to the hall, the originally lively environment was quiet again for a moment.
The reason for the quiet this time was slightly different from the last time, and it was manifested in the way the "old faces" looked at Ballard.
It was a look at the strong, an admiration for the man who owned two high-quality slaves.
Sitting at a table in the corner, Ballard looked at Lena as if he was going to skin her alive.
"Look at the good things you've done!"
In the face of Ballard's angry whispering, Lena seemed rather unimpressed.
It's even a bit of an invitation.
"Actually, you should thank me, you see, although the reason is a little subtle, but at least it will prevent people from making trouble for you, right?"
Wen Yan nodded, and then gave Lina a middle finger.
"It's all up to you."
Since it was a fallacy, there would definitely be truth to shatter this crooked theory, so before Ballard could call the waiter for the menu, a young man dressed in luxurious service came to him.
Give a polite salute, and then directly indicate your intentions.
"Take the liberty of interrupting...... This gentleman, not only are you interested in having a slave exchange with the next? ”
As soon as she heard this, Lena's face darkened.
- I really owe this mouth!
Clapping his hands gently, several scantily clad women walked behind the young man.
You can't use the word "woman" to generalize.,Down to Lori,Up to the royal sister.,Several women cover almost all ages.。
They bowed their heads respectfully, their hands hanging in front of them, and the iron ring with the nameplate hanging around their necks indicated their status as slaves.
"Of course, you will definitely not let Mr. suffer in the next, if you are willing to exchange, as long as you have enough ability to pay, then there will be no hesitation in the request made by the gentleman."
In order to prevent Lena from going on a rampage, Ballard planned to directly set the exchange request at "Count you along".
But Lena's sudden interjection disrupted his plan to sell his dignity.
"Please...... Excuse me...... Sir, do you have a boat? I...... My host wants...... Want to go to sea...... If it satisfies my master's wishes...... I...... I can ......."
At this time, Lena looks quite cowardly, but she has a kind of strength that can sacrifice everything for her master.
This expression of external softness and inner rigidity immediately poked the heart of the rich young man who came to exchange slaves.
Looking at the pitiful look, the young man suppressed the restlessness in his heart and turned to Ballard to ask.
"This gentleman wants to go to sea? I'm sure you've heard that recent rumor. ”
"There are things that have to be done, and there is no way."
Ballard sighed helplessly.
Looking down in thought for a moment, the young man smiled and assured Ballard.
"One day, please give time for the next day, and at this time tomorrow, I will hand over the compass and chart representing the captain's identity to you, sir."
Without waiting for Ballard to respond, he didn't bother to glance at Lena, turned around and left the tavern with his slaves.
When the tavern was out of the atmosphere of watching a show, and the waiter brought the food to the table, Ballard lay down on the table with his hands folded.
"My dear leader, hey...... Can you not use this problem in this matter? ”
"I didn't expect that person to be a Lori control ......"
Lena's incomprehensible response also made Heine, who had always chosen to remain silent, unable to hold back.
He moved the stool toward Ballard, his arms crossed over his chest with some cowering.
"This matter has nothing to do with me, you have to betray the hue yourself."
"Hush."
"Hey! Did you really beat my mind! ”
Nodding very honestly, Lena said as she shoved the food into her mouth that didn't taste good.
"Always remember that I am a witch, and a witch is a person who will use everything to achieve her goals."
Heine moved to Ballard's side again.
"Don't scare the newcomer, let's talk about it, how will I and her act in the play when the time comes."
Swallowing the large mouthful of meat in her mouth, Lena looked up and gave Ballard a serious knock on her.
When she opened her mouth, she said, "You guys look at it." ”
Taking advantage of Shame Lime's uninterrupted metamorphosis to express his dissatisfaction with Ballard, he ate his plate clean, and aimed for Heine's share.
Seeing this, Heine immediately "puffed" his lunch several times.
Glancing at Heine with admiration, Ballard gave his share to Lena.
"Anyway, don't go too far, after all, we need that guy to get the boat ready for us."
"Don't worry, when have you ever seen me mess around with serious things."
Despite her mouth being stuffed with food, Lina's words and pronunciation were still very clear, and Heine was amazed by this magical ability.
He tried it himself, and found that this ability was difficult to learn in a short time, and it would attract criticism from Lena for wasting food, and finally Heine gave up the idea of learning this ability in person, which was useless.
As Lena had said, Ballard was well aware that Lena wasn't going to mess around when it came to business.
In other words, the seriousness and seriousness shown by the head of her own regiment when doing serious things are similar to the usual lazy and willful her.
So he didn't think much about it, and took out a small metal box from his bosom and put it on the dining table.
Just as he was about to call the waiter for another adult lunch, a scruffyly dressed wine cooler came to their table.
Slammed the empty bottle on the table, squinting at Ballard.
"This old man...... Do you want to go to sea at this time? ”
