Chapter 9: Bruce's Secret Lover
Early the next morning, Don was sleeping on the same as she was pulled up from the warm and comfortable bed by the mysterious Bruce.
Seeing that Don was about to get angry, Bruce hurriedly grabbed his hands and comforted him, "My Don brother, you must help me this time." If it weren't for the impathy, I wouldn't have bothered you dude. ”
Bruce's brainless chatter made Don even more confused. So he interrupted Bruce's ramblings and said, "I said, Bruce, what are you doing with your early morning disturbing dreams? Don't you know that the most important thing for an Arcanist is to stay asleep and recuperate?"
"Dear Brother Donn, don't you remember at all that you promised me to lend me ten gold coins last night? ”
Under Bruce's rambling memories, Don finally thought of something. Last night, because of the drink, Don was drunk by everyone, and he may have promised some stupid things between bragging.
Hearing Bruce Lion's big mouth, Don immediately decided to turn his face and deny it, never admitting it. Then he spread his hands and said, "My marksman, I never promised to lend you ten gold coins. This time I will come back and copy a few magical texts from Lady Marianda, which will cost a large sum of gold. Your demands are too high, and the wealth in my hands will never satisfy your huge appetite. ”
Bruce secretly screamed in his heart: "Oops, the lion's big mouth just now may have frightened little Donne." Although this guy is rich, but the legal profession also spends the most gold coins, plus this kid has always spent lavishly, it is estimated that it is really impossible to come up with this large amount of money. ”
Bruce's eyes rolled flexibly, and he immediately changed his mind, and the bloody mouth loosened slightly. He decided to change his strategy, so he said with a little sadness: "Little Don you know, yesterday in order to take down the two snake horns, your big brother Bruce was already destitute. If you want to refine these two snake horns into a magic prop, it will cost at least a dozen gold coins, and if it weren't for the lack of any way, I would never be able to pester you. ”
"Dear Bruce, refining magic props is not an easy task. In addition to the two snake horns, you will need to prepare more magic materials. Coupled with the cost of hiring an alchemist, a minimum of fifty gold coins is required. Not only that, but you also need to take huge risks. Even the gold-level alchemy masters in Luoya City have only a sixty percent chance of success in refining magic items. Don shook his head, trying to dispel the unrealistic idea of a good friend.
"My good brother Donne Jr., if it weren't for the urgency, I wouldn't want to do this. But now that I can't get a magic item, the lovely Miss Dietrich will become someone else's wife, and I can only reluctantly try it for the sake of my lover Dietrich. Bruce said with a sad face.
Miss Dietrich is Bruce's childhood sweetheart's neighbor and a businesswoman who smells of copper.
Five years earlier, his father had married her to an elderly nobleman, who soon died. And the young Miss Dietrich became a widowed young woman, and for two or three years Dietrich acted as Bruce's lover.
Don has met Dietrich a few times, and he always feels that Dietrich is not a simple woman. Although it seems that she still loves Bruce, Don also knows that this woman has a big secret behind it.
Compared to Bruce, who shows everything on her face, Dietrich is undoubtedly very smart. And the entanglement between his friend Bruce and this mysterious woman also made Don quite helpless.
"Big Brother Bruce, Lady Dietrich has received the rich inheritance of Baron Donald Fanta, and has quite a few gold coins in her hands. If she really loves you, she will definitely not make you feel embarrassed. She was a twenty-four-year-old woman, not a fourteen-year-old little girl, and it was impossible for her to let the annoying Mr. Rednor dictate everything. Seeing that Bruce was a little crazy, Don tried his best to persuade him.
"Little Donn, there are some situations you don't know. This time, the man Redno wanted Dietrich to marry was not an ordinary person, but Bobber, the captain of the cavalry brigade of the Emerald City City Defense Army. ”
Don interrupted Bruce's rambling impatiently, and whispered to himself: "Bob is responsible for guarding the passage from the Emerald City to the Loya Fortress, although he is not the top big man in the Emerald City, but he is also in an important position and has reached the top level. Rednor, Dietrich and others have always been secretive, and this time they repeated their old tricks to get Dietrich to marry Bob, probably also to drag Bob into the water so that they could facilitate their future actions. ”
Seeing Don slander his lover Miss Dietrich like this, although Bruce was a little unhappy, in order to borrow money from Donne, he didn't show it on his face, just looked at Don pitifully.
Seeing this old man who was trapped in love, Don gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "The reason why Rednor asked you to use magic props as a dowry is actually to give you a problem and make you retreat. For this, your dude should see clearly. Captain Allen has been adventuring in the Horn Forest for ten years, and he has not yet obtained a few magic items, and the only Elven Lake magic ring is still the trophy of the previous battle. According to your brother's background, it is impossible to accomplish this kind of task. ”
"Little Done, I know everything you said, but without magic items, Dietrich will become someone else's wife, so even if there is little hope, I still have to give it a try. ”
"Dietrich is someone else's wife, and although Donald Fanta is dead, she's still a baron's woman," Don said in disgust when Bruce was a little mad.
"No, little Donne, his my woman, she gave me her first time in its entirety. There are some things that she can't help herself, but I believe she still loves me. ”
Don looked at Bruce's decadent expression and thought of the days he had just crossed over, when he was not a strong professional, but a rookie weak who didn't know anything.
During those few months, it was all thanks to Bruce to take care of Don that he was able to adapt to the world.
Thinking of this, Don decided to help Bruce, so he gave Bruce a fist and said, "Although this time the harvest is good, I have less than twelve gold coins in my hand, and I still need to buy the magic book in the hands of Lady Marianda." Therefore, refining magic props is not realistic, and I don't have that much money in my hands, and it is impossible for you to invite a gold-level alchemy master. ”
Tang En paused slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's better to refine the two snake horns into enchanted items. Combined with the snake tendons on the Bighorn Snake, it should be possible to refine a powerful enchanted weapon, the Snake Horn Bow. This has the advantage that we don't have to ask outsiders in a low voice. Lady Marianda should be able to refine this weapon, and Lucia and I can also help a lot, so that with five or six more gold coins, we will be able to successfully refine this powerful enchanted bow and arrow. ”
