Chapter One Thousand and Eight How Much Is This Code of the Dead
The Hamad Elf Bazaar is not a big place, except for a few idle merchants, few people will set foot in this kind of remote corner, the Elf Bazaar is named after the Halik Merchant, this naming method has gradually become mainstream, and the small bazaar is mainly based on nectar.
Camille waited a day to see her mother, and she was very distressed to see the bloodshot in her mother's eyes, apparently she hadn't slept for a few days.
"Are the guests gone?"
"Walked this morning. Camille took out an emerald coin, "Mother, this is not what I want to take, they have to give it to me." ”
The old elf touched Camille's ponytail, and didn't blame too much, in this difficult time, a jade coin can solve a lot of things, "Put down your studies first, today is the day when Brand collects nectar, you can't be lazy, I heard that this big merchant likes to drink some coffee like the Jade Lord." ”
"Mother, don't worry, I learned the steps of coffee brewing in the Emerald School for a while, and I can help you deal with it. ”
Looking at the well-behaved daughter, the old elf's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, but soon they were engaged in carrying the nectar, and they had to empty the nectar in the honeycomb in just one day, and then put it into a large jar, which was a heavy job, because the nectar was a year's harvest for one of their families.
Only a big merchant like Brand can eat so many of their goods, and I heard that Brand has a lot to do with the merchants of Emerald Ridge.
Brand is an old man with a goatee, and the most conspicuous thing is a pair of shrewd mung bean eyes, with a pair of jade sunglasses, and an emerald card hanging on his hand, as if he is afraid that no one will know that he is rich, but he is very stingy, as long as he can squeeze it, he will hardly give an extra one.
"Camille, serve Lord Brand. ", the old elf shouted in the distance.
Serving this shrewd old man, Camille is very experienced, after all, he has been in the Jade Academy, and he has heard of Li Zhenshu's life, as long as he advertises himself as a big businessman, almost everyone will have Li Zhenshu's little habits.
Desserts, coffee, deck chairs, professional dancing, this is the standard for low-level merchants.
"Good coffee. Brand took a sip with a bit of gentlemanly demeanor, put a mouthful of sweet crisp into his mouth, glanced at the busy elves with small eyes, and finally landed on the youngest Camille, "How old is this year?"
"Twenty. Camille replied very honestly.
"Do you want to get married?", Brand asked very directly, after all, the slave business is not a scandal, many elves will sell themselves as slaves, of course, they have prerequisites, they must be in the jade collar, although there will be some difficulties, but with the beauty of the elves, many times can find a good way out.
"I'm about to take the first-level necromancer. ”
Hearing this, the rebelliousness on Brand's face subsided a lot, "That's congratulations." With the strong rise of Emerald Ridge, as long as you can pass the necromancer assessment, you can almost solve life problems casually, and your status will rise, so that the two of them have no conversation, and it just so happens that the old elf has finished sorting out the nectar.
Brand is very old-fashioned, don't look at the small eyeballs, but you can see the color of the nectar at a glance, "Seven jade coins." ”
The words directly made the old elf stunned in place, and hurriedly asked, "Master Brand, I still had ten jade coins last year, and this year's nectar is better than last year." ”
"I said seven is seven, don't you know that the market has changed!", Brand didn't mean anything polite at all, wiped out the sweet cake prepared by Camille on the table, lay on the carefully prepared chaise longue, swayed his body slightly, and took a book and read it.
Code of the Dead
There are almost no necessary lessons for these merchants, although I can't understand it, but it is also a kind of cultivation to mix a few sentences of the content of the Code of the Dead in the business.
Suddenly, the hand holding the Code of the Dead trembled, and his gaze slowly fell on Camille, "This is your book?"
Camille nodded, not understanding what the hell this treacherous businessman had in mind, "Yes, the standard issued to us by the Academy. ”
"This book is very good, give it to me. Brand spread out the page of the book, only to see that there were dense notes on it, "It just so happens that my son is also going to take the necromancer exam, these notes have helped him break through a lot, of course, I am not taking it by force, so let's do it, the nectar is still according to last year's price, ten jade coins, how about it." ”
The old elf was overjoyed, but he didn't expect this kind of opportunity, "It's great to be able to do this." ”
"No!", Camille said suddenly, stepped forward and directly snatched the Necromancer's Codex, "This is what I used to take the necromancer exam, I can't succeed without this book, Mother, when I am admitted to the first-level necromancer, it will be ten jade coins a month, you have to be able to calculate this account!"
"Camille, isn't it just a book, and when the nectar is sold out, I'll buy you another one at the bazaar. ”
"Mother, it's all written down by me in the past few years, and I still have to review it. Camille clutched the Code of the Dead.
"Bring it!", the old elf was a little annoyed.
"No, please, Mother, this is all I have. Camille pleaded.
"Give me the book yet. As he spoke, he stepped forward and was about to snatch it over, but I don't know if it was too much power or a coincidence, he directly tore the thick code of the dead in half.
Camille looked at the broken book in a daze, and cried loudly, and didn't care about anything else, picked up the pieces on the ground and ran straight out.
"Wait!", Brand shouted as he hurriedly stood up, but it was too late.
Camille didn't know how long she cried, anyway, the tears dried up, and then she remembered her mother's hardships, looking at the broken code of the dead, if she could hand it over, she could get three jade coins, why was she so stupid, the knowledge in it was already in her head, but it was really a little reluctant to hand it over, after all, every stroke in it was written by her in the past few years.
There are her experiences, her mistakes, and most importantly, her hard work.
"Something?", and suddenly a laugh came from under Camille's feet.
Hearing familiar, Camille looked down and saw a pair of men and women wearing cloaks driving a team of magic ox carts, none other than Li Zhenshu, who had just been separated for a long time.
"Why did you come back?", Camille asked in surprise as she jumped from under the tree.
"What, we're just leaving now, we've just cleaned up the convoy in the morning, and we're not going to be on the road soon. Li Zhenshu sat at the front of the ox cart, and said with a leather whip and a smile, "Look at how much you cried just now, who bullied you." ”
"Nope. Camille 1510 explained what had happened.
Li Zhenshud immediately said, "Then what's the matter, three jade coins, hmph, so let's do it, you go back in a while and tell the merchant that you don't want to buy my book without 30,000 jade coins." ”
"Thirty thousand?", Camille exclaimed in astonishment.
"Why, haven't you always wanted to do business, this is your first lesson, go ahead, of course you can also increase the price, such as 56,000, 300,000, whatever you want. ”
"Is this really possible?", Camille didn't believe it.
Aina on the side smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, if you don't even have this guts, how can you become a necromancer, don't scare yourself, sometimes tens of thousands of jade coins are really not worth much." ”
Camille recalls Aina's words all the way until she returns to the treehouse and sees Brand.
"I'm sorry. The old elf preemptively apologized, "Camille, you're right, you're our hope, and I shouldn't have mortgaged your books." ”
"No, Mother, I was wrong, I learned everything in it, it didn't matter. Camille took out the "Code of the Dead" glued with resin, and looked at Brand, who had not moved, "My lord, do you still want it?"
"Of course, knowledge is not broken. Brand stood up and took the Code of the Dead directly in his hand, but he couldn't take it back, "What's the matter, you don't want to?"
"No, that, I want to say. Camille hesitated for a while, for fear of scaring the merchant away, but in the end it was still wealth that prevailed over courage, "I mean this book sells for 30,000 jade coins. ”
"What?"
"What!"
Two shocks, one from Brand, and one from the mother behind him, "Camille, you want to go crazy with money, 30,000 jade coins, you're not talking nonsense." ”
"No, I'm just asking. Camille is not confident.
"Who told you it was worth the price? On the contrary, Hamed on the side calmed down, he did not lower the price but asked about the people behind it.
"No!", Camille could not be a traitor, "I thought of it myself, and I think my knowledge is worth it." ”
Seeing Camille's innocent appearance, Hamed actually laughed weirdly, and nodded under the gaze of several elves.
