The proprietress of the pawn shop, a dwarf woman who looked very old, wore round glasses and carefully looked at Linya's pair of ruby earrings inside and out, and finally put the earrings back on the counter, nodded and said, "Well, it is indeed a real ruby, crystal clear, and the quality is not bad." ”

That's of course, this princess is the only baby princess of the Red Leaf Empire, alas, can the jewelry given to me by the queen mother be bad?

The dwarf proprietress thought for a while, and finally gave the price, "This pair of ruby earrings, I can give the price of a gold coin." ”

"What?" Linya almost blew up when she heard this. What are you kidding? It's only one gold coin, and none of the jewels that the queen mother has made for herself are worth less than a hundred gold coins of red leaves. But she actually only gave the price of one gold coin?

"Yes, I'm willing to give a gold price, that's a lot of money. If you redeem it within three days, you only need 50 silver coins of interest. If you redeem it within one month, you will be charged an interest on one gold coin. If redeemed within three months, the interest is two gold coins. You can't redeem it after three months!" said the dwarven proprietress with certainty.

Linya's mouth opened in surprise, unable to speak. She only gave one gold coin worth a hundred gold coins, and the interest rate was as high as 50 percent for three days and 200 percent for three months! This is simply a vampire! It is said that the dwarves are all snobbish and greedy guys, and it seems to be true. Where do they worship Maeve, the goddess of the earth? What they really worship is the god of money!

But no amount of resentment is useless. Linya wasn't going to punch her and snatch the gold from her counter. That's not something a princess can do. But I can't live this day without money, I can't enter the city, I don't have money to live in a hotel, I don't have money to eat...... Under the roof, do you have to bow your head? But do you have to endure her exploitation like this? Thinking of this, Linya is really unwilling!

"My earrings are worth hundreds of gold coins!" Linya said with a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"I understand your feelings, human. The dwarven lady said unhurriedly, "But this is Arbela, not Glesia." You can also see that the people of Abella don't even have enough to eat, and where can anyone have the money to spend so much money on such a luxury? If you are not satisfied with the price, you can go elsewhere, and I have given the highest price. If you really need the money, you can also consider selling it instead of pawning it, in which case I can give the price of three gold coins, but then you can't redeem it. You can think about it first. ”

Sell it directly? That's a no-no. But Linya, who is penniless, also needs money. After some haggling, Linya finally had to pinch her nose and sign her name on the pawn contract. A pair of rare ruby earrings, pawn price one gold coin and fifty silver coins, the interest remains the same, fifty silver coins in three days, one gold coin in a month, and two gold coins in three months.

Obviously, Linya, who has no bargaining experience at all, suffered a big loss this time, but there is no way, she is really not good at this kind of thing, the little princess will not do it at all, and Xiao Yuan will not either. As for Susanna, she still doesn't even understand Arbella. No way. It's really hateful! It's really annoying! This princess actually has a day when she is taken advantage of, and she is really unwilling!!!!! ahhhh

On their way to the gates of Nueva Bella, the two passed by a large factory. This time, however, Linya unexpectedly discovers a large ship under construction in the factory, and it looks like it is about to be completed. Linya hurriedly stepped forward to inquire and learned from the factory owner that it was because the merchant ships from Grecia were irregular, so the local merchants of Abella raised funds to build such a new merchant ship, which is expected to be completed and launched in a month. The destination of the maiden voyage was Port Reis, on the mainland of Grecia. As for the price of bringing passengers and bringing goods, it is said that each guest who gets on board has to pay at least two gold coins for boarding, and then the cabin seems to cost at least ten gold coins, and the best even costs thirty gold coins.

Linya was already speechless. According to the upper class, the fare of the boat is thirty gold coins, and the sailing time from Abella to Grecia is thirty days, and the daily fare is as high as one gold coin!

What should I do? Even if it is not enough to sell the earrings, should I also sell the diamond necklace? No, I have to think about it first.

This time, with the money, of course, I was able to enter the city smoothly. I started looking for two hotels, but Suzanne rejected them - the conditions were too bad, not clean or something. After all, it is Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can she live in such a poor place? There is a house that is quite cheap, only a few copper coins, but it is a large unified room for ten people in one room, how can this be given to Her Royal Highness the Princess? That is absolutely impossible. In the end, I finally found a hotel with decent conditions, and the rooms were not bad, but the price was not so affordable - one silver coin per room per night!

Robbery and robbery are simply robbery! But there is no way, Linya is already a little numb, pay for two rooms, let's settle down first. When it's time to eat, the price of the evening meal is not affordable to the people at all! It's crazy! These dwarfs are really bloodless fellows who kill people without seeing blood!

It's not like I've finally settled down. After so many days of eating, sleeping, sun and rain, now I finally have a place to rest. Well, I finally have a place to take a shower. Suzanne herself went and fetched hot water, poured it into the large tub, and then stripped the little princess to the ground and carried her in......

Hot water...... How does it feel to take a bath...... That's probably one of the reasons why Linya and Suzanne chose this hotel. In these days in the desert, where is the opportunity to take a bath? I am all dirty, and there are all kinds of nasty sand, and my body is about to itch to death. I remembered that when I was in Laiya before, my little princess had to wash it two or three times a day, and everyone was about to collapse. And now I know that it is such a happy thing to be able to take a bath once.

However, the little princess never does it herself when she takes a bath, and as for the reason, she seems to have never been embarrassed to touch certain sensitive places. So helping the little princess take a bath has always been done by Namia, but today it must be done by Susanna. Suzanne washed very carefully and carefully, not letting go of every part, and washing the little princess all over her body little by little. The poor little princess could only blush, keep her eyes closed, and try to hold her breath, biting her lip lest her body make some strange sound from the feeling of extreme comfort.

In fact, she opened her eyes quietly, but what she saw was the pair of Susanna's huge murder weapons in front of her, plump and tall, round and attractive, so frightened that Linya quickly closed her eyes again, her face was like a fire, and her little heart was beating wildly. Although the intimacy between the two has long been accustomed, is it really good to peek like this? However, her body seems to have been seen all over by her, and she feels a little unfair?

When it was time to go to bed, Linya couldn't sleep at all. I don't know what I'm thinking, and I can't stop. In the end, Linya was cheeky enough to sneak into Susanna's room and get into her arms. Suzanne could only smile bitterly and kiss the little princess on the forehead and said, "Sister Linya, I said that it would be nice to open only one room! ”

Suzanne was right. But the root cause is not here. Sleeping in Susanna's arms all these days seems to have become a strange habit, so I am not used to it when we are suddenly separated. And there seems to be an inexplicable feeling of fear, after all, it is so far away from his hometown, and in this unfamiliar place, fear is inevitable. Susanna's arms are so warm, so soft, so comfortable. This is the only place where she can feel the most at ease. But...... Isn't that a bargain...... That's really good, isn't that......

Now I finally don't have to travel anymore. But more serious problems have arrived. After breakfast, Suzanne returned to her room and saw Linya sitting at the table, holding her chin in one hand and a silver coin in her right hand, unaware of what she was thinking. "Sister Linya, what are you thinking?" asked Suzanne cautiously. Linya pursed her lips and said, "What else can you think of? It's all this damn money! No money! Sister Susanna, I think we have to find a way to make money." ”

It's simple, and Suzanne understands it. No matter how much money is saved, if there is no income, it will be spent, just like water without a source, use a little less. But when it comes to making money, Suzanne really doesn't know anything, her family was originally a nobleman, but what she learned was only the knowledge of collecting taxes, not relying on her own labor and business or something to earn money. She herself is good at riding horses and marching to command battles, but there is no army for her to command. "I'm sorry, Sister Linya, but I really can't do anything about this......" Suzanne said guiltily.

"Sister Susanna, don't blame yourself, I don't blame you. Actually, I thought about it all night last night, but I came up with two solutions. One is fast, one is slow. One is a good way and one is a bad way. Which one would you like to hear?" said Linya with a wink and a smile.

"Hmm...... I'd like to hear a quick solution...... "Suzanne said, and now it was imperative to get out of this hellish place and return to Violet, even if it was Grecia at least much closer than here.

"The quickest way is to ......," Linya said, deliberately selling it, fiddling with the silver coin in her hand, and then placing it on the table, "I'm a magician, of course I need to use magic methods." Magic is omnipotent!" said Linya as she cast a certain kind of magic, and in a few moments the effect appeared, and the sunlight that came into the room from the window turned into some kind of extremely small golden glitter, which flickered and flew towards the two silver coins.

Slowly, the original gray-white silver coins began to shine with a slightly yellowish golden light.
