Chapter 228: Sresta's Crisis
Xu Mu heard the patriarch say that the matter of curing both eyes was also about to be cured.
Although the forester who made the potion a year ago had died, it was not only one person who participated in the production of the alchemical potion at that time, but also his apprentice.
The dead forester apprentice was making a potion to heal his eyes at this time, and it was believed that it would not be long before he could get the healing potion and return to the magic academy.
There is nothing to do at the moment, Xu Mu can only close his eyes and perceive the elves around him.
He believed that as long as he could figure out the true meaning of the elves, he might not be able to use elven magic.
Elven magic is completely different from seven-line magic.
The seven-system magic is based on having a magic mark to use magic, but elven magic is different.
As long as you have elves around you, the elven magic you use does not consume mana, but consumes the elves who recognize you.
Although the foresters were born with the congenital awakening of the wind and the earth dual magic seal, they still use elven magic more often in life.
Among the young foresters, only Luya is the one who has a deep knowledge of wind and earth magic.
Xu Mu believes that accepting Luya as an entourage will be of great help to her in the future.
Without thinking about anything else, Xu Mu fell into the world of perception.
......
At the same time, Sreta in the city of Sini is suffering from a crisis of great proportion.
Sleta sat in the tea chair in the bedroom, there was no one in the room, she was holding a delicately patterned money bag in her hand, she could see that the money bag was heavy, and I believed that there were a lot of coins in it.
She spread out her hands and counted the contents of the moneybag.
If you glance at it, if you are a civilian, you will definitely exclaim.
Because it's all shiny gold coins!
If you count carefully, there are more than 70 gold coins, which is really terrifying.
You must know that so many gold coins may be money that ordinary civilians can't earn in a lifetime.
But Celetta did not rejoice in the slightest, but had a sad face, wanting to cry without tears, and her lovely face revealed helplessness.
"Oh my God... How is there only so little left. Damn it!"
It is estimated that no one understands Sleta's pain at this time, because there is not enough money to spend.
It's not that Sreta has any big expenses that require a lot of gold now, it's that the expenses are too big these days!
"It's over, it's over... My brother and Sister Ailu left me all the gold coins before they left, and as long as there are no accidents, the more than 500 gold coins will be enough until my brother returns from the magic academy two years later..."
"What should I do now...!There are only more than seventy gold coins, and I won't survive my brother's return at all..."
More than a dozen maids want money, more than 20 guards want money... Oh my God, why is it so expensive?"
Sleta began to regret hiring the Berez guards.
The reason is simple, because a squire's weekly salary is three times that of a maid...
Originally, the more than 500 gold coins that Xu Mu left for Sleta before he set off were based on the original idea, you must know that there were only maids in the house at that time, where were the guards? These more than 20 guards were hired by Sleta to smash the shop after Xu Mu left the capital.
In fact, even if you hire these attendants of the Beres family, it won't be said that life is difficult, as long as you save a little, it will be no problem to live until Xu Mu returns home.
It's just that...!
Thinking of the reason why she had no money to spend, Sleta gritted her teeth in anger.
Because after returning from participating in the aristocratic tea party, she received a lot of gifts.
Although there are some earls and dukes who can give gifts without returning gifts, they should be regarded as favors from each other, after all, the earls and dukes who gave gifts to themselves have a very good relationship with Her Majesty.
However, the gifts given by other nobles were not only good friends with Torah, but also miscellaneous.
Knowing that she represented her brother and couldn't let her brother owe them a favor, she arranged for Erlan to search for gift registration, and then buy some gifts of similar price and send them back.
Although most of the gifts given by nobles at that time were gifts that they carried with them, it was not expensive to say that they were expensive, but so many nobles converted it...
Sleta has thrown out a few hundred gold coins these days.
For this reason, Sleta was ready to cry when she reacted.
Unexpectedly, after becoming a nobleman, she didn't enjoy the aristocratic life much, and she was troubled by the trouble of not having money.
This is completely different from the aristocratic life she had expected when she was a commoner.
Shouldn't it be a carefree and joyful life, why do I have to think about the trouble of not having money when I am so young?
Anyway, how did my brother make money before?
Sleta thought that Xu Mu's money was all smashed, burned, and robbed, as if she couldn't imitate it, after all, she was already a nobleman, and it would be against her image to do this kind of thing again...
Thinking of this, Sleta wanted to cry again.
At this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Little host. ”
It's Erlan, it's not dinner yet, and the person who dares to knock on her door is Erlan.
Sleta hurriedly collected her emotions and put the coins in a beautiful purse.
Even if the nobles have no money, they can't lose face in front of their entourage!
"Come in. ”
Er Lan opened the bedroom door and came in sideways, and after closing the door, he didn't approach, but bowed his head slightly respectfully and said.
"Little master, a viscount in the kingdom has sent a carriage of exquisite ornaments, and even a lot of interesting toys, saying that they are for you... The things sent by this carriage are worth a bit much, and Er Lan doesn't know whether to accept them or not. ”
Sreta was stunned, "How much is it worth?"
"Convert... It's worth about 30 gold coins. ”
"Let him fuck off!!"
Er Lan was startled, and hurriedly responded to the call to go out to deal with things.
Since Sleta came back from the noble tea party, her mood has been getting worse and worse day by day, if it weren't for the maid who served her personally and said that the little master would not have a menstrual affair, Erlan would have thought that Sreta had grown up...
But the reason for Sretta's bad mood was something that Erlan couldn't figure out.
Especially since the gift given by the viscount is worth so much, doesn't this make it even more obvious that other nobles are giving face to the master's family? It stands to reason that they should be very happy.
But Celetta was like seeing a plague god, and she only wanted to persuade the nobles to turn away their gifts.
After all, Er Lan has less experience in interpersonal communication, since the viscount dares to give such a valuable gift, it means that there is a similar big matter in the future to ask Xu Mu.
The main two parties are not related to each other, and the relationship is not particularly good, and the exchange of such gifts is a transaction of interests.
I believe that in the future, Erlan will think about it again, and he will understand why Sreta did not accept the gift.
"Wait...!"
Sreta suddenly called to Erlan.
Er Lan turned around and said respectfully: "Little master, what else do you have to order?"
"Where's Bereth? hasn't she come back yet... She hadn't been going to her brother's side for too long. ”
"Lord Bereth wrote yesterday that her master left her at the Academy of Magic to have a mission, and she may not be able to return to the capital until a few days later. ”
Seeing this, Sleta couldn't help but sigh and waved her hand to let Erlan out.
