The next day, when Barrett and the others left Windsor Castle, they had already obtained the second item - 'Lady Windsor's Black Hair'.

Barrett had to admit that it was a strange black hair, and besides, it was a random one that Lady Windsor had found on her head.

The woman, who could not tell her age, was dressed in an elegant snow-white gown and cape, and her high boots made her look like a flying white swan.

She tilted her head slightly in front of Barrett and the others, and casually wrapped the hair she picked out around her index finger, "The little guy is still a little shy, but anyway, it's yours." After Mrs. Windsor finished speaking, her fingers pressed a little harder and tugged lightly.

Immediately afterwards, the ordinary black hair, which was originally just quite soft, came to life unbelievably after being detached from the woman's head.

It lifted its head like a snake from Lady Windsor's fingertips and swam slowly around its fingers. When she handed the black hair to Barrett and the others, she also told in a mocking tone, "Be careful, don't let it run away, and it's best not to touch it directly with your hands." Also, I suggest you feed it something during your trip, for example, a few cherries. In this way, it will become very well-behaved. ”

A hair that not only moves, but also eats? hehe, it's almost going to bite. No, it seems to be able to do that, but Barrett doesn't want to try.

The brute put his black hair into a special glass bottle, and at Lady Windsor's instructions, put two agate-like red cherries in the bottle. The long jet-black hair moved along the smooth walls of the bottle, and it was still deftly slicing in and out between the two cherries. Every time it tentatively taps the wall of the bottle with its own end, it always makes Barrett feel unspeakably uncomfortable......

Moreover, the acquisition is not without cost.

Lady Windsor needs everyone present (alive or dead, including birds) to give her a gift of her own beloved object. One piece per person, no more, no less, and the total value of the five gifts should be greater than 10,000 gold coins. Not only that, but the value of each gift needs to be calculated by her.

And the woman said at the time, "The more beloved things are, the higher their value is likely to be." ”

Well, when Barrett heard such a request, he immediately wanted to do his old job, which he had not done for a long time, the bandit.

10,000 gold coins is enough to hire half of the adventurers of Bay of Pigs, including at least four or five experienced and skilled veteran adventurers. They will hug you and call you King or Queen, or whatever else you like. They will juggle for you, fight for you, raise a glass to cheer for you at great feasts, and get drunk for you.

Until, you run out of coins.

Barrett has been an adventurer for so many years, and at most he has only accumulated two thousand gold coins, and then in the blink of an eye, he and his dwarven companions have 'squandered' on the teleportation circle.

Okay, that's back to the five gifts.

After some deliberation, Barrett presented the first gift. He thought about it for a long time, and the gift he brought out was a rather elaborate gemstone brooch. This is the best-preserved, most elegant, and most exquisitely crafted of the knick-knacks that Barrett hated Gerdo gave him when he was in Deathstroke Town.

The gold and gemstone ornaments had been re-cleaned and polished by Barrett with jewellers, and most of them had been broken and cashed out by Barrett. The very small number that had been preserved was originally intended to be sent to the more familiar grocery store, 'Dave's Quill', so that it could fetch a better price.

Of course, Deathknell Town is not a commercial city, and there are not many rich people in the town, so those accessories should be seriously talked about, in fact, it is just like that.

And the price given by Lady Windsor for this best ornament is 300 gold coins.

She was still staring straight into Barrett's eyes, shaking her head and saying, "Miserly adventurer, you have never attached any value to this brooch in your heart—you have never thought of giving it to one of your beloved, nor have you ever wanted to cherish it and pass it on, it is no different from ordinary gold in your heart." So, I'm very disappointed with your gift. ”

"If anyone would trade hundreds of gold coins for one of my hair, I wouldn't be greedy enough to think that the other person is a miser. Barrett said expressionlessly.

You're disappointed? I've somehow given away hundreds of gold coins, and I'm disappointed. If you can't get this money back on this adventure, before you leave this bewildered barrier, I'll take those kobolds under your command to vent my anger!" Barrett thought hatefully.

"Here, gold coins are not fundamentally different from grains of sand. Mrs. Windsor said with a smile, not angry at Barrett's rudeness, "You don't understand anything, alien adventurer, you don't understand anything......"

The second to give a gift was Phyllis the parrot, whose gift was one of her own tail feathers. The price given by Lady Windsor was eight hundred gold coins, "Wise Speaker, your mind is no different from the creature you yearn for." You don't really care about your body, and you even vaguely want to get out of it. So this one of your few tail feathers doesn't weigh as much in your heart as you think. ”

The third was a young bard, and his gift was a kiss of his own.

When Barrett saw the four red lips fiery entanglement, his heart was full of envy. And when he heard that Lady Windsor had offered a high price of 3,000 gold coins for this kiss, his heart was shocked beyond measure.

Why? I could still do this? I knew I would have given my own kiss too! So I could have saved that precious brooch worth hundreds of gold coins. And even if you want more, I can't give it......

After the kiss, Lady Windsor stroked the bard's cheek and said, "What a handsome lad, what a kiss." Your kiss has been given to hundreds of girls, and many more will get it in the future. However, these kisses are bitter and lonely for you. You're always looking forward to whether the next girl's kiss will be different, but you know in your heart that it's impossible. Because, the girl you want to kiss the most, has never gotten it......"

Even if I go back to the town of Deathknell, which is full of dead people, I don't want to come back to this hellish place where goosebumps are always getting goosebumps!

The fourth is a lonely little ghost, and when Barrett asks if he can deliver a gift in his place, Lady Windsor refuses.

"A gift can be anything, as long as you really care. She said at the time,

I care a lot about gold! I am the only one who has given a truly valuable gift, and you say that I am a miser! Barrett was a little unbalanced in his heart.

Lady Windsor gently tugged at the little ghost's spirit with her black-haired hand, making her sit on her lap as if she were in substance. "Is there anything you care about?"

"Is it okay to have a story?" asked the little ghost timidly, as if he was a little afraid of the very temperamental aunt in front of him.

"Of course, as long as you like that story. Said the owner of the castle.

Afterwards, the little ghost told her the tale of the witch and the candy house, which was not as eloquent as the bard's, but it was still attractive enough.

After listening to this, Lady Windsor touched the little ghost's hair pityingly, "My little cutie, this is undoubtedly a good story, but I can only give a hundred gold coins. Because, you don't like the story at all, you don't ...... it at all."

The last one to give a gift was the dwarf mage.

Theodore Shining knew that the current adventurous party was essentially employed by him, and that he was the only one in the gang who could be called rich, so the gnome mage was last in line, ready to make up the rest of the value.

The little man had been in his spatial ring for a long time, and he was still shaking his head. Finally, with a look of pain on his face, he handed over a quaint book—a codex by Master Keane.

When Mrs. Windsor took the book and flipped through it, the calm expression on her face finally turned to surprise, "Oh my God, the handwriting of one of the creators. You know, this book is priceless here? ”
