Chapter 223: The omnipotent grocery store
At the end of the passage are rooms decorated in a medieval style, with comfortable and luxurious sofas, chests of drawers stacked with artwork, picture frames placed above the fireplace, and a burning fire that makes the occasional beeping sound.
Being in it makes people feel like they're out of time, but Lin Zhihui wasn't in the mood to admire the furnishings in front of him, and his attention was attracted by the creature standing three meters away.
The unknown creature, covered in long dark golden hair, with a large head and red eyes, and the characteristics of a hound and a lion, crouched in the center of the room, its head slightly lowered, revealing its sharp teeth that shimmered with cold light at the two men.
Without any explanation, Lin Zhihui also knew that this long-haired monster was definitely not easy to mess with, because the candle ying standing beside him, the first time he saw the long-haired monster, he pressed his hands on the ground, and his face was full of green scales, showing obvious hostility.
If it were a different occasion, Lin Zhihui might be willing to see Candle Ying's skills, but now they are standing on someone else's territory, and the other party is not clear about the enemy or me, so it is obviously not a wise move to take the liberty of doing it. And he could feel the emotional changes of Candle Ying through the ghost order, and he seemed to be a little jealous of the big guy in front of him.
Raising his hand and touching Candle Ying's head, signaling him not to be impulsive, Lin Zhihui's eyes turned around the room, and he didn't find any other portals, and was just about to say hello, when there was a sudden knock above his head, followed by footsteps from all directions.
Lin Zhihui subconsciously raised his head, trying to distinguish the direction of the voice, and a slender figure suddenly appeared in the corner of the room.
It was a young man in his thirties, dressed in a simple shirt and trousers, with a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Harry. He raised his hand slightly, yawned, and tilted his head lazily at the hairy, who immediately took two steps back and walked slowly to the rug in front of the fireplace, motionless.
"You may be seated. The young man sat down on the couch and made a gesture to the two of them.
Candle Ying slightly restrained the momentum on her body, but she still looked at the long-haired monster with her back to them in a daze, with a complicated expression on her chubby little face.
Lin Zhihui coughed lightly, sat down on the sofa, and was about to greet Candle Ying, when the young man suddenly smiled: "What, isn't this guest in love with my little beauty?"
As he spoke, he touched his chin, looked up and down at the three-inch candlelight, and said with regret: "It's a pity, it's too young." ”
Lin Zhihui blinked, and couldn't help but be alert, could the other party be able to see Candle Ying's true body?
"Are you the boss here?" Candle Ying ignored the man's ridicule, but stared at him for a long time, and said bluntly: "I heard that you have a lot of dragon scale stones in your hands?"
"How can I say it? The young man looked at the two of them back and forth, clasped his hands together and supported his chin and said: "It stands to reason that this is a trade secret and has nothing to say, but the two of them are coming to the door for the first time, and they can still enjoy special treatment." As he spoke, he reached out and tapped lightly on the coffee table in front of him, and above what looked like an ashtray, a small light curtain appeared, revealing a gray dragon scale stone inside.
"It's still the same sentence, only unexpected, not unbought. The young man leaned back on the sofa, and then added: "Also, don't call the boss, not sir, just call me Xiao He." ”
Candle Ying didn't speak, in fact, his gaze kept glued to the dragon scale stone in the light curtain, as if he was distinguishing between the real and the fake.
"The two of you must not have come to the door. Xiao He picked up the beads on the small table and played with them, while turning his eyes to Lin Zhihui: "I don't know what I can do for the guests." ”
Lin Zhihui tugged at the corners of his mouth, pretending to be reserved and bowing slightly, he was here to listen to the news, and there was no need at all, but naturally he couldn't say this, and after looking at the candle that was still in a daze, Lin Zhihui's heart moved: "We are here to buy dragon scale stones." ”
Xiao He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you need to buy the Dragon Scale Stone?"
Lin Zhihui looked at Candle Ying, he only knew that the dragon scale stone was very important to Candle Ying,
As for other details, of course, it can only be negotiated with the other party by Candle Ying, so as not to say too much.
"How many dragon scale stones do you have?" Candle Ying suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao He, with a solemn expression: "Or if I ask another question, how many can you find?"
Xiao He shrugged his shoulders and stretched his arms on the back of the sofa: "Although the Dragon Scale Stone is not a good thing, it is not so easy to start. ”
"That's not a problem. Candle Ying waved his hand to interrupt him, and said magnificently: "As long as the quality is good enough, I will have as much as I want." ”
The corners of Lin Zhihui's mouth twitched, didn't they say that it was just a temptation, but now looking at Candle Ying's posture, it seems that he really intends to negotiate this deal.
"It's refreshing. Xiao He clapped his hands: "For sincere guests, I have always been very good at talking, but." He paused for a moment, then continued, "When I talk about business, it's always one-on-one, and there can't be a third person present. ”
Before Lin Zhihui could speak, Candle Ying nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Don't worry. Xiao He seemed to notice Lin Zhihui's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I'm doing a serious business, not a black store." ”
Lin Zhihui also felt that he seemed to be overreacting, although the long-haired monster made him mind a little, but from the time he came in to the present, from beginning to end, he didn't feel any hostility, and although Candle Ying looked like a child, she was actually a powerful demon, so she didn't need him to worry about it at all.
"Please, I'll just wait here. After Lin Zhihui finished speaking, he watched Candle Ying and Xiao He walk to the corner where he appeared just now and disappeared out of thin air.
"It's such a magical place. Lin Zhihui muttered to himself, picked up a magazine in his hand, and opened it.
Flipping through a few pages at random, he really couldn't appreciate the aesthetics of the time and space from which it came from, Lin Zhihui threw the magazine aside, got up and walked around the room, of course, carefully avoiding the fireplace where the hairy monster was.
On the walls of the house, there are all kinds of landscape paintings, forests, mountains and rivers, some of which are like the scenery of the human world, while others are bizarre, obviously from different worlds.
Lin Zhihui looked at them one by one, and soon found a painting that was completely different from other styles.
The picture is a corner of the bazaar, and you can vaguely see a house made of stone, which looks very much like a European country in the Middle Ages, and several people dressed as swordsmen are standing outside a small shop, one of them is a little familiar, similar to Xiao He who has just left.
Lin Zhihui was wondering if this was just a coincidence, when he saw those people turn around, leave the shop, and walk into an alley in the painting, and couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.
