Chapter 227: The Dream of Fortune Shattered
"Oh! yes...... Dear Lord Harrow, there is one thing that I forgot to tell you just now!"
Just when Xie Yu kept stroking the stones in his hand, the little girl who hadn't gone far suddenly stopped for some reason, and then turned around and smiled mysteriously at the little mage who was obsessed with wealth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, what's that? Tell me what? Oh...... Are you ready to take into account the overall situation and sacrifice your hue to seduce that dragon?!" Xie Yu raised his head, glanced at Xiao Niu'er, and snorted.
It's just that although Xie Yu is talking nonsense and making fun of the little girl, he also seems to be smiling, but in Xie Yu's feelings, the sneer that suddenly appeared at the corner of this little girl's mouth revealed a sense of schadenfreude.
“...... Phew, shameless little rascal!"
Nicole choked, her little face was faintly reddened, and she snorted fiercely, and then the ruddy cherry mouth pursed, and she couldn't help but sneer with a strong mockery:
"Actually...... The stone in your hand is not a treasure at all, and there are such stones everywhere on this mountain! They are not worth anything at all! So...... I don't think you need to, and I'm going to pet it over and over again!...... better focus on how to deal with that dragon."
"Uh, it's not a baby, isn't it?"
Looking at the pretended profoundness on Nicole's little face, Xie Yu was a little unconvinced, and carefully raised the stone in front of his eyes and observed it carefully for a while, before raising his head again and frowning at the little girl: "Look......! It's translucent in the dark, cool and smooth to the touch, how can it be worthless?! This is obviously an unknown treasure! You must be lying to me, seeing that the master has made a fortune, you are dissatisfied, hum...... I'm worried that I'll leave and won't help you find that damn grass, so I deliberately made up this kind of lie to hit the master......"
“...... Forget it! Anyway, I've already reminded you, believe ......it or not," Nicole glanced at the little mage who was obsessed with wealth with contempt, and snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Otherwise, you will move all the stones in this mountain back home...... Isn't that clear?"
"Hey, hey, hey...... You can make it clear!" Xie Yu saw that Xiao Niu'er was about to leave after sneering, and immediately became anxious, jumped up and walked two steps quickly, and stopped in front of Xiao Niu'er: "Xiao Ye hates others to say half of his life the most...... You say it's worthless, but how do you know......"
"Hmph...... This kind of rock, which is found on every volcano, is just more or less...... They have no magical properties, cannot be used as magical materials, and cannot be refined into any metal to make weapons...... So how can it be worth it?!"
Nicole seemed to like to see the little mage anxious and deflated, and after a pause, she snorted coldly and said slowly.
“...... Volcano? Are you saying this middle finger mountain...... Volcano?"
"Nonsense! If it's not a volcano, how can there be such a thing?" Nicole raised her little head slightly, as if she was very contemptuous of the little mage's ignorance.
"How do you know this is a volcano?" Although Nicole's words were conclusive, Xie Yu had an ominous premonition in his heart that his dream of making a fortune was about to be shattered, but Xie Yu was still a little unwilling, and while asking, he used his hands to break the black stone vigorously, and then a fireball appeared in the palm of his left hand, and the other hand picked up the broken stone and took a closer look.
Nicole stood there holding her shoulders for a long time, and didn't bother the little mage, just looked at the little mage gloatingly, and sneered.
Under Xie Yu's careful inspection, he finally found that on the edge of a small stone, there were some small bubbles irregularly distributed, although the size was also different, but the largest was only half the size of millet, and the fire was faint, so you couldn't see it if you didn't look carefully.
After a while, Nicole saw that the little mage seemed to have finally given up, and finally there was no longer any joy or anxiety on his face, but a broken face, and he threw the broken large and small gravel in his hand in frustration, and then slapped his face in disgust, removed the debris in his hand, stood there and pinched his chin, and began to sigh.
"Your Excellency, your attitude has changed a little too quickly, isn't it? Why did you hold it in the palm of your hand like a treasure a moment ago, but now you look very disgusted? Are you afraid that it will dirty your hands?" the little mage's frustrated look as if he had defeated a rooster made Nicole feel very relieved, and couldn't help but quip.
Finally saw the little mage's deflated appearance, the resentment in his heart that had been depressed for a long time, and at this moment it seemed that he had finally gotten a trace of catharsis, how could Nicole not be relieved and comfortable?
"Oh, sure enough...... It's volcanic glass! How can this thing be worth a lot of money? Damn...... In the previous life, this kind of thing was only a few hundred yuan a ton, and this mountain full of stones may not be worth the price of two magic rings! Besides, ...... Will the people of this world recognize it? Alas...... The troublemaker is right, he can't make any magic props, and he can't refine metal to make weapons, so he can only make handicrafts and sell them for money...... Master won't, ask someone to polish it? Hmph...... Does the master have that spare time? If you can't sell it after polishing it...... That's not a big loss!Phew...... You must not do anything that is losing money! Chicken ribs! It's really chicken ribs...... Damn, the little girl didn't say it early, so the little master has been happy for so long......"
Volcanic glass, refers to the lava erupted by the volcano, quickly cooled and did not have time to crystallize and formed a kind of vitreous structure rock, no certain shape, some into pearl-like, porous or irregular, volcanic glass stone is divided into a kind, such as perlite, trilipe, obsidian, etc., the color is also red, brown, black, gray or green, etc., this black, should be obsidian.
If there are fewer impurities or variegation, they can be processed into exquisite crafts as decorations, which may be worth a little money, but ...... Even if you look for someone to polish it regardless of the cost, you must first find a volcanic glass stone with good condition.
Moreover, someone will eventually buy it after polishing it, and if a lot of gold coins are thrown out, they can only be piled up in the treasury in the end, sighing at them every day...... So what's the problem?
Judging by Xiao Niu'er's disdainful attitude towards this kind of rock, Xie Yu thinks that this is definitely not something worth spending his energy and money.
......
The dream of making a fortune was shattered, Xie Yu really couldn't beat his spirits, and Xie Yu had no intention of refutating Nicole's schadenfreude, saving the strength of the bickering, sighing for a while, Xie Yu put away his frustration, gave the little girl next to him a roll of his eyes, and then turned his head helplessly to look at the team in front of him.
I saw that under the autumn wind, more than a dozen torches flickered brightly and dimly, trying to illuminate this bare rocky mountain road, and continued to look up, like a huge black rod towering the middle finger mountain, under the black pressure of the dark clouds, it has long been impossible to see the original outline, as if it is deeply integrated with the darkness.
And the tall and unspeakable volcanic glass rocks behind him, I don't know when, have quietly blended into this endless darkness and completely disappeared from Xie Yu's field of vision.
"Okay...... Since that flat-chested ...... Well, that elf told you it was a volcano, so...... Did your sister Yawen tell you another story by the way, is this an active volcano or an extinct volcano?"
Xie Yu turned his head, looked at the Nicole girl who was in a comfortable mood on the side, and said lightly.
......
