Chapter 51: A Harvest
"One, two, three, cheers. ”
Seven glasses collided in the air, and the amber wine splashed in all directions, and the aroma of the wine came to the nose, and it was already intoxicating before the mouth was even eaten.
The sweet mead glowed golden in the light, rippling in circles. The spicy aroma of mint dissolves the sweetness of honey, the long-brewed honey soothes the stimulation of alcohol, and the mellow aroma of alcohol hides the pungency of mint.
Sweet but not spicy, strong but not drunk, even if you are really drunk at the table, you will not feel a headache when you wake up the next day, this is the signature wine of the dancing cat tavern, the honey mint wine that is famous for half of the Kola Kingdom, it is said that even several crown princes of the Kola Kingdom, every once in a while, will secretly send someone to transport a batch of mead back, save it and enjoy it slowly.
In order to celebrate survival, the best wine should be used for wine, and of course the best dishes should be used for food.
Most of the tavern food is a rough and coarse food with a large amount of flavor, specially prepared for the traveler.
Fortunately, the dancing cat is an exception, and the food here is the real food.
The wings of the danba pheasant are pounded and mashed, and the white meatballs are formed by the clumps of pine mushrooms unique to the Dragon Wall, and the crisp and refreshing green rock wind grass is cut into thin slices and dotted among the meatballs, and the white meatballs and vegetables float on the crystal clear soup. Any complex seasoning is a burden for this song of the mountain, only a little salt, can let diners taste the elasticity of the chicken tendons and the unique fresh aroma of the cliff pine mushroom, first come to a bowl of clear soup to the stomach, obviously dull and boring, but it can wash away the fatigue of the body, make people want to calm down and enjoy the food.
The sweet and sour popular deer cheese makes people appetize, the golden spicy bread is moderately crispy, the purple vines of the upside-down vine are full and juicy, the red fruits of the red pearl fruit are sweet and sour, the green leaves of the mountain endive are bitter and sweet, the yellow tubers of the earth mother flower are soft and tender, and several vegetables are eaten in turn, which not only stimulates the sensitivity of the tongue, but also successfully erases the complexity in the mouth and heart.
All this, of course, is for the sake of the topic.
Who would have believed that the camouflage beast hidden in the mountains would cut open its rock-like hard shell, and the tender meat inside would be more tender than crab meat, and it would be mouthwatering even if eaten raw?
Who would have believed that the rock sheep that can be seen everywhere on the cliffs will burst out with a juicy steak that is delicious enough to swallow your tongue when it is fed with wine and slowly fried with honey?
Who would have believed that the swarms of shadow bats in the caves, their huge, ugly wings, after four hours of stewing, could make even the most fearful of bats swallow their flesh and bones?
This is the feast of food, this is the highest enjoyment.
After experiencing life and death, the shadow chasers can calm down, close their eyes, and taste a delicious meal seriously, so that they can truly appreciate the touching of being alive.
"Cheers. ”
Seven cups, but eight voices.
The mirror was set up on the table, and at the other end of the influence, the blonde girl's face was flushed, holding a cup and clinking glasses with everyone in the air, although it was just the most ordinary clear water, although there was no tempting food on the table, but the girl's joy was already overflowing.
What about being left alone at home and worrying about it? What about not being able to enjoy good wine and food together, and what about not being able to laugh with these cute fools in person?
My brother is back, my brother is back unharmed, isn't that enough?
Enough is enough.
In the eyes of the girl Lisa, each of these fools is so cute, hehe, you don't know, how grateful I am to you.
Well, except for the two of you, you dare to divide half of your brother's heart, hmph, I won't be grateful to you both, especially the hateful deer, because she actually ......
"Hey, big fool Moria, what do you mean by that?"
"What's the matter, yo-yo, I'm just a deer. ”
"Do you think I won't be able to see a few bouquets of flowers in front of the mirror? ”
"But it's really harmonious. Lin Jing bit his fingers blankly and said innocently, "Look, there is no sense of disobedience." ”
"Hey, hey, hey, you worshipped, you just put your hands together and worshipped, and they all said that this is not a posthumous image!"
"Oh, it's just the custom of our forest spirits, this action is to say hello to each other. ”
"The ghost believes you, do you think I'm a fool? Ahhh ”
"Tsk. Shuer slowly put down the wine glass, spit out a mouthful of turbid gas with honey and alcohol, and said with a smile, "The relationship between the two of you is getting better and better, I really envy you." ”
"I don't want to have a good relationship with an oak tree that will be stupid enough to block the door at the main entrance of the temple and take root overnight, and brother, your so-called good relationship is to mourn the living in advance?"
"Hahahaha. ”
Lisa was indeed the loveliest, at least from the burst of laughter, you could hear that everyone had already affirmed this fact.
The girl's suddenly reddened eyes made the laughter stop abruptly, and everyone looked at the girl with tears on her face in surprise, this is the first time everyone has seen the tears of this girl who is loved by everyone.
Standing up silently, the tearful girl looked solemn, bowed deeply to the mirror, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, thank you for being on call, thank you for accompanying your brother on the adventure, thank you...... Brought my brother back safely again. ”
The wordless silence, the girl's sudden thanks made everyone's hearts warm and pity, no wonder Shul always said that Lisa was the loveliest, if he could have such a sister, I am afraid it would be the same as Shuer.
The shadowchasers looked at the bowing girl with gentle eyes, huh...... Except for a certain wild animal that is also bowing inexplicably.
"Hey, big fool Moria, what are you doing. ”
"Isn't this the etiquette of your human beings?"
"You can't forget about the statue, do you, and what kind of family are you, you sinister oak tree. ”
"Eh, don't I count? Yo, I'm a deer, I don't know anything. ”
"Brother, brother, she's pretending to be stupid again!"
"Okay, okay, Moria, don't bully Lisa, every time you tease her, and Lisa, I see you're happy to cooperate. But don't make a fuss about the two of you, it's the most important show now. ”
"Hehe, that's right, share the spoils. ”
"Yay!" the dwarf was the first to jump, wielding his great axe so obliviously that Shul nearly kicked him out. However, no one really blames him for his excitement, three days, a few times between life and death, isn't it just for this moment?
The cutlery was pushed aside, silver god-given metal in the center, a dozen or so trinkets piled on one side, and on the other side sat Shuer's large backpack.
"Boss, what are you doing putting this thing on? Blocked by the backpack, the halfling simply stood on his chair and protested discontentedly.
"Are you sure I want to take it out at the table?" Shure asked, squinting, "Have you forgotten what's inside?"
Indeed, the corpse that had been put in when he first entered the ruins had not been taken out, and the halfling had indeed forgotten to clean it.
"Let's explain first, I have an agreement with a necrophilia, and the necrophilia doesn't mean you, Miriday, you're an elfism, eh, you two will make trouble later, let's get down to business first. ”
"He's got something I like, and we've made an appointment to trade it for a well-preserved corpse of a rare creature, and the rarer it is, the more he likes it. Therefore, this kind of corpse, which is sold to scholars for a maximum of tens of hundred gold coins, takes up space and is worthless, is very valuable to me. ”
"Therefore, I will keep the corpse this time, and as for the price, I will talk about my proposal later, and I will give you a satisfactory result. ”
No one said anything worthless, you just left it yourself, kind of kind words, this kind of conversation may happen in other teams, but never in Shure's team.
According to the eighth rule of the risk-taking rule, a leader who can maintain absolute impartiality is the necessary condition for the long-term maintenance of an adventure team, especially when it comes to finances, rather than being brave, wise or gentle and meticulous.
Shul has always strictly followed this rule, and because of this, when he said this, no one raised an objection, and everyone believed in his justice.
"Then let's find out what's good. ”
"Seven copper coins, tsk, luck is really good, there is also copper over there, and it is also used as a precious metal coinage. After checking the coin, Xiuer nodded and said, "It is slightly heavier than ours, it seems that the content ratio is slightly higher, and it is sold to the Temple of Wealth, about seven hundred and fifty gold coins, not bad, it is a good sign." ”
Three gold coins is enough for a family of three to save for a month, more than 100 gold coins per person is not a small amount, many low-level warriors are adventuring in the Pavadiga territory, and they may not be able to earn 100 gold coins after three or four months of hard work, even if they are high-level warriors whose range of activities are mainly outside the realm, it will take a few days to earn 100 gold coins, provided that they can receive a good task. Only the shadow chasers can start with a hundred gold coins in a few days like this, and it's just an appetizer.
"Who brought this?" The things in Shuer's hand were angular and angular, as if they were very columnar pieces put together, and when he dragged them, each one could be shaken slightly, but it was fixed very strongly, "Very ordinary material, what is it?"
"Hehe, let's just say that the boss can't see it. The halflings and dwarves high-fived each other.
"Captain, this is a good thing, it's not the material that matters, it's the creativity. The dwarf said proudly, "Actually, this thing is a children's toy, made up of at least a dozen and up to hundreds of small wooden strips of various shapes. If you want to take it apart, you have to find the only connection point, otherwise, hehehe, it's not that simple, I guess even if it's the captain, you can't ...... Stop, the destruction doesn't count. ”
"Chief, through this thing, that idiot has conceived a special set of locks, and he plans to design them and sell them to the Dwarven Smelting Society, and roughly estimates, it can be sold for at least three thousand. After a year or two, I will sell the idea of unlocking to the thieves' union, how can I have a thousand gold coins in the account, only more, not less, hehe, make a lot of money. ”
"Do they have any objection to taking the others? Okay, how much are you going to take this thing at a discount?"
"Three thousand. ”
"Yes. "There's no need to ask anyone else, Shure has the pricing power, and it's a good price," Mia. ”
"I'm remembering. "Recording and calculating such a cumbersome task has always been the job of elven mages.
There are not many things, but the value is not low, and the number is quickly piled up to six thousand gold coins, which is usually a very ordinary shadow, and the income is this number, if it can be doubled, it will be extraordinarily successful. But this time, everyone didn't take the total amount of 6,000 gold coins to heart, the real good thing, but this god-given metal.
"Don't bother, God-given metal is not included in the total, and it will be divided equally on the spot, and your share will be decided by yourself whether to build weapons or exchange for money, and I will not participate in the opinion. ”
The most reasonable decision, so that everyone will not suffer, and there will be no dissatisfaction, but ......
"Including more than 6,000 gold coins, it is divided into five parts, and Moriah and I are not involved in the distribution. Shuer calmly said the decision that shocked everyone, "When the converted and sold gold coins are in place, the five of you will each take your share." ”
"Boss, are you crazy?" Maka Jalen couldn't believe his ears, "Tens of thousands of gold coins, you two don't participate in the distribution?"
"The corpse is one reason, and there is another reason, Mauria and I got another thing, which has no value to you, no meaning, but it is very precious to her, and it is similar to me. The value of this thing is incalculable, so I can only deal with it like this, and in other words, we can take advantage of everyone. ”
"Oh my God, you're not going to be ......," said Miriday, pointing at Shure and Moria, in surprise, "bring that back." ”
"Hehe, this is going to be kept secret. Shuer smiled mysteriously and patted the mirror beside him, "Lisa, I'm sorry, my brother didn't make any money this time, and he won't have anything to eat." ”
"Hey, who cares about you. Lisa glanced at her brother, and there was a hint of charm on her immature face.
"Boss, you are really fair, I am convinced. Macajalen gave a thumbs up, "If there is any task in the future, as long as you notify me, I will come at any time." ”
Indeed, if the two of them don't talk about this matter, no one will know, but when it comes to the huge amount of tens of thousands of gold coins, Xiuer still said it.
"Heh, since you don't mind if you two take advantage of us, then it's decided. Shuer raised his glass, "This shadow chase is over, and there are countless gold coins waiting for us to earn in the future, so let's enjoy life to the fullest during this time, for life, cheers." ”
"Cheers! See you next time!"
