Chapter 57: The Uninvited Guest
In the evening, night falls, and the tavern inside the Scarlet Castle.
......
"Oh my God......"
The tavernkeeper's mouth was wide enough to stuff a duck egg, and he held a complete and huge red fur in his hand, and said with undisguised admiration on his face: "This is an adult red-tailed wolf, the overlord of the fourth-order demon beasts, it is said that an adult red-tailed wolf can easily fight a purgatory demon dog that is also a fourth-order demon beast, and this fur is only destroyed by the neck, and it can be processed a little without leaving a trace, great...... It's just wonderful!"
Avril squinted her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "I know, those noble wives in Lingdong Province are proud to get such a red-tailed leather robe, and even some noble girls can favor people who originally looked down on them for such a leather robe, such a piece of leather is simply priceless, do you say yes, boss?"
"This ......"
The tavernkeeper's fat facial muscles twitched suddenly, and then he noticed the beautiful girl in the student's skirt in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, and said: "To be honest, such a skin is indeed quite precious, but there is still a certain gap from the priceless city, you know, in recent years, due to the invasion of the Demon Beast Legion, business in various parts of the empire has been sluggish, and even the middle-level nobles can no longer afford to enjoy the red-tailed wolf skin robe." ”
Avril Nunu's mouth: "Boss, just say it directly, how much can we sell for this superb red-tailed wolf fur?"
"This ......"
The boss narrowed his eyes, raised two fingers, and said with a smile: "Two hundred gold coins!"
"Two hundred?"
Avril grabbed the fur with one hand and said, "Hmph, the salary of a big knight is more than that, and ten big knights may not have the strength to fight and kill a red-tailed wolf, do you think we don't understand anything?
"Wait a minute!"
The boss patted the table lightly, then squinted his eyes again, smiled flatteringly, and said: "This beauty, don't be angry, business can be discussed little by little, if you think this price is not suitable, please open me a suitable price." ”
Avril pursed her red lips and said, "That's it, the best fur of a red-tailed wolf is equivalent to the annual salary of a high-ranking knight, five thousand gold coins!"
"What, five thousand gold coins?!"
The tavernkeeper's fat trembled, his body leaned back, and he looked like he was going to be scared to death by this price, and then he fell on the counter again, and replaced it with a flattering smile: "This price is too high, it is simply unacceptable, you know, the tavern of our Scarlet Castle does not have much profit at all, and collecting fur is only one of our marginal industries, and it is ...... Even the best red-tailed wolf fur can't sell for five thousand gold coins, so I'll give it to you...... Eight hundred gold coins!"
"No talk!"
Avril raised her eyebrows: "This red-tailed wolf fur was brought back from the Spring Patrol hunt after our hard work and almost lost our lives, do you think eight hundred gold coins can buy us two lives?"
On the side, Luo Lan smiled and nodded: "Mmmm, yes......"
Avril rolled her eyes, not knowing what to say to him.
The tavern keeper took a deep breath and said, "In this way, one person will give one step, one thousand two, this is really the limit of what I can pay, and it should be the highest price for this hide." ”
"Less. ”
Avril frowned lightly: "Don't think we haven't seen the world, when I was very young, my father once took me to the imperial capital, I have seen the fur of the red-tailed wolf, some of the fur that is even inferior to this one is even sold for two thousand gold coins, you actually said that this red-tailed wolf skin can only be sold for one thousand two, boss, you are not kind." ”
"Ahahahaha~~~"
The tavern owner smiled awkwardly, and the flesh on his chin swayed up and down, and said: "Mainly because the empire's economy has been hit too much in recent years, as you know, the south is not very peaceful, the Knights of Light have encircled and suppressed the southern rebels many times in the past five years, but they have suffered heavy losses, in order to make up for the shortfall caused by the war, the Holy See of Light has increased the tax burden, and we who do business ...... Almost all the ability to provide for his family is dying. ”
Avril smiled faintly: "Let's talk about a fixed price, right?"
"Fifteen hundred gold coins, no more, otherwise I won't even have gold coins to buy next month's ale. The tavernkeeper's eyes swept across Avril's face, as if looking for a flaw in the beautiful student.
"No way, the price is two thousand gold coins. ”
Avril grabbed the red-tailed wolf fur and said, "If you don't want to, I'll go, anyway, you're not the only one in the Scarlet Castle to buy demon beast materials, right?" Luo Lan, let's go~~~"
As she spoke, Avril grabbed Loraine's wrist and pulled him out.
"Wait!"
The tavernkeeper raised his bloated arm and said with a smile on his face again: "Two thousand gold coins......"
Saying that, he seemed to show great courage and said, "Then two thousand gold coins, little girl, you are really amazing~~~"
"Haha!"
Avril smirked, turned around and put the fur on the counter, and said, "Okay, give the money!"
"Here it is. ”
The fat boss carefully took out two pale golden paper rolls, which were the common golden tickets of the Star Source Empire, and these two gold coins of one thousand gold coins each were already extremely high amounts, even Luo Lan had never seen such a thing, after all, in that small mountain village, not to mention golden tickets, even gold coins were extremely rare, and those merchants who entered the village to buy beast skins only carried copper coins and silver coins.
The next moment, two golden tickets arrived.
Avril looked beautiful, quickly stuffed one to Lorain, and said, "You one, I one, divided equally!"
"Huh?"
Lorain grabbed the golden ticket, thought about it, and knew that it was a good thing, so he quickly put it in his pocket, smiled at Avril, and said, "Are we rich?"
"Yes!"
Avril laughed, "How are you going to spend it?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll put it first. ”
"Well, then ......" she smiled into a crescent moon with a pair of beautiful eyes, "there is a sewing shop on the back street of the tavern, you can accompany me there, I want to buy a few new dresses, okay?"
"However, I still have to practice at night. Lorain spread his hands and looked distressed.
Avril looked at him in surprise, then stomped her feet angrily and said, "Okay, okay, you go to cultivate, I'll go by myself." ”
"Hmm!"
Luo Lan nodded heavily: "Then you should also come back to cultivate early, the next class is quite important." ”
"Got it!"
Avril turned around angrily, and the star source power exploded all over her body, and she flew away with a "swish".
Luo Lan looked puzzled and scratched the back of her head: "Did I say something wrong?"
The tavern owner lay on the counter with a smile on his face: "Young man, you are right, it is the world that is wrong, believe in yourself, cultivation is the most important, your fists are hard enough to decide your life, only if your fists are hard enough, can you not be bullied, can you let the woman you like not leave you, and you can enjoy a lot of happiness in the world, believe me." ”
“......”
Lorain glanced at him, feeling that it was a fat man with a lot of stories, and then turned away, heading straight for his bedroom.
......
At night, Instructor Haimu asked him not to go to the Hundred Refining Pagoda for the past few days, so that the injury healed and then talked, so Luo Lan had to practice the sword in the training ground, and after practicing profusely, he only felt happy, and then returned to the room to take a cold shower, and then lay on the bed and studied the Elemental Well magic book again.
The magic words also became very wonderful, and I don't know how long it took to read it, until a wisp of almost inaudible flame breath swept through his nose, and Luo Lan suddenly became alert: "Who!?"
Suddenly looked up, but found that there was a flame standing in the window, brilliant and blooming, like a flame lotus, blazing fiercely, and suddenly rushed over with a "boom".
"Who?!"
Luo Lan suddenly jumped out of bed, the strength of his body exploded instantly, and with a swing of his left arm, wisps of frost element cyclones surged, turning into a thick frost shield, and with his punch "Peng", it hit this flame lotus directly, but it was like hitting the cotton, this mass had no substance, and suddenly dispersed, like a mist bypassing the frost shield, and hitting Luo Lan's chest.
"Huh!?"
Luo Lan was shocked, knowing that it was a master, where would he dare to have any slackness, with a right hand, the flame element burned and circled fiercely, and directly blasted out with a fire palm, and the momentum was majestic!
But in the next second, the flames that bypassed the frost shield suddenly changed again, condensed into sharp ice picks, and blasted towards Luo Lan's face door with the sound of breaking wind!
"Huh?!"
He hurriedly sank suddenly, relying on the strong physical strength to bypass the opponent's attack field in a single rush, and his palm suddenly opened, and he grabbed a void realm behind the flames, and suddenly felt a soft feeling, and at the same time there was a girl's exclamation of "Ah", and then, the frost hung upside down and flew again!
"Who the hell is it?!"
As soon as Luo Lan gritted his teeth, the space around his body began to distort, and he punched out, which was the power of shattering the mirror!
At this moment, the vague void flame suddenly disappeared, revealing a face hidden under the void, a beautiful girl with a palm, and a wind shield technique!
"Peng!"
With a soft sound, the power of the law of space and the power of the wind element shook together, what Luo Lan didn't expect was that this punch didn't take advantage, he and the other party took a few steps back at the same time, and at this time, it was completely clear that it was none other than Lin Ke, a magical girl from the mysterious sea, one of the strongest people in the blood-colored cage training camp!
......
"Humph......"
Lin Ke rubbed his palm, which was a little numb, and said, "You have indeed cultivated the power of some kind of spatial law, otherwise it would be impossible to shatter my fifth-level Wind Shield Technique!"
