Chapter 16: Betting

"It's a secret. Damien didn't answer Shark Gazo's question.

He unlocked the shop, pushed the door open, and said, "Let's see what I've done this month." ”

Shark Gazo stepped through the door, and as soon as he entered the store, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

"Are you sure what kind of house you have here? I think it's more like a temple. Shark Gazo stroked the monolithic obsidian container with his hand and looked up at a stone statue of the Lord of Light on his left.

"The work of Duncan, the dwarven master. Damian said triumphantly, "I like his minimalist aesthetic." ”

The area of the dragon sales house is not large, and the space is basically occupied by seven stone statues, on the left and right are the Lord of Light, the Dark Father, the Dwarf Emperor, the Elven Goddess, the Lord of the Elements, the Orc God, and in the middle is naturally the Dragon God Nidhogg.

Other than that, there's the giant obsidian container.

"Let's go, I'll show you the goods. ”

Damian came to the statue of the dragon god, grabbed the statue's left paw, and with a few turns, opened a stone door from the wall next to it.

Walking into the stone gate, there is an empty warehouse, and on the shelves in the front, there are several rows of dense black ceramic bottles.

"That's it. Damian picked up a ceramic bottle and said mysteriously, "I call it Black Dragon." ”

"Black Dragon?"

"Is it a drug?"

"Could it be for ......" Shark Gazo made a lewd gesture with a lewd expression on his face.

"What have you been thinking all day, haven't you had enough to eat your elven mistress?" Damian scolded with a laugh.

"The more things like this, the better. Shark Gazzo gave a "you know" emoji.

Damian ignored him, put the bottle back on the shelf, and said solemnly, "The purpose of this thing is to heal the invasion of evil spirits. ”

"Evil spirit invasion?" Shark Gazo looked at Damian for a long time, and slowly spoke, "When did you become a Holy Light Mage." ”

"I'm not! but it really works, you believe me......"

So, in addition to clarifying that this thing is not used to enhance his kung fu in bed, Damian also has to explain that he really did not betray his master and join the Holy Light.

.........

The morning passed, and there was not a single customer in the store.

Shark Gazo also left first due to his busy business, leaving Damien to sit at the counter bored.

"Seems to be here?" a voice came from the door.

Damian quickly stood up, only to see Anna and Loren walk into the shop, as well as someone who looked like a noble young master.

"Why are you here?" asked Damian, curiously.

"Teacher, let's see what the hell you're up to. Loren replied angrily.

"How does the teacher know?"

"You're haunted every day, you don't go to class, and of course the teacher has to figure out what you're doing. Loren looked at the shop, "What kind of place is this?"

"Didn't you look at the signboard at the door, the dragon sales house, of course it sells things, Miss Loren. "Damian didn't have a good look at Loren either, the foreign princess was against her at every turn, and Damian had already seen her unpleasantly.

"I saw what kind of dragon seller, what are you selling, is it a dragon egg?" Loren said with a sneer.

Damian rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, I have dragon eggs, do you dare to buy them if I dare to sell them?

"How dare you put the Lord of Light and that Dark False God together?" the noble young master spoke, and he was furious when he saw the stone statues of the Lord of Light and the Dark Heavenly Father carved in the shop.

"Pay attention to your wording, this classmate, please respect other people's beliefs, and my fellow Dark Department is not here, they are not as easy to talk as I am. Damian muttered.

The noble young master was about to have a seizure, and Anna spoke up, "Buck, I don't think the senior wants to provoke, isn't there still an elf goddess and a dwarf emperor here? ”

"It's still my Anna sister who can speak. Damian looked at her with a smile, and at the same time did not forget to tease the angry young master Buck, "These stone statues are the work of the dwarven master Duncan, if you have any opinions, you can go to him for a theory." Buck subconsciously kept his mouth shut, knowing that dwarves never reasoned with people, and that they were used to settling disputes with hammers.

"Is this what you're selling?" Loren found the small black ceramic bottle in the container.

Damian took one out, "It's called Black Dragon, and its function is to heal the invasion of evil spirits." ”

He handed it to Loren. "Be careful not to break it, 50 gold each, and the original price of the damage will be compensated. ”

"How much?!" all three exclaimed at the same time in disbelief.

"Why all the fuss, I don't think you guys look like you don't have money, are you so expensive?" Damian was a little weak-hearted, in fact, he was also a little hesitant about his own pricing.

Buck couldn't help it, he strode forward and said loudly to Damian, "I won't tell you this ridiculous price first, let's talk about the efficacy of your thing......"

"Heal the invasion of evil spirits, did you know that only high-level holy light techniques can fight evil spirits, and for the patient to be completely healed, it will take a whole day of the caster's time. ”

"I know all of this, so it costs two or three hundred gold to ask a high-level Holy Light Mage to heal the invasion of evil spirits, and my Black Dragon Su only costs 50 gold, and it is not used more than once, do you still think the price is ridiculous?"

"You ......," Buck was speechless for a moment, "I don't believe it anyway, it's strange to make up some nonsense, it's useful." ”

"Whether it's useful or not, you have to try it to know. "Damian refuses to be outdone.

When Buck heard this, he seemed to think of something, "I could really try." ”

The other three all turned to look at him.

"There is a subordinate in my family who was invaded by evil spirits two days ago, and because he has no money for treatment, he is now staying at home and waiting for death. ”

"We can try it on him, if it doesn't work......" Buck thought to himself, "you shut this shop for me and openly admit that you are a liar." ”

"Has anyone been invaded by evil spirits?" Anna was kind-hearted and was very anxious when she heard this, "Then we have to hurry, I heard that people who are invaded by evil spirits can't last long, senior, is this thing really useful?"

"Don't worry, Anna. Damian nodded.

"I promise your terms, but you have to apologize to me if it helps. Damian handed the bottle to Barker, "Apply the contents to the patient's wound and it will take a few hours." ”

Buck reached out to take the bottle, "50 gold, thank you, you haven't paid yet." Damian looked at him with a surprised expression, "I didn't say it's free. ”

Buck wanted to scold Damian, but seeing Anna's anxious look on the other side, he finally took out the money, took the bottle and hurried away, and Anna went with him to visit the sick servant.

So there were only two people left in the store, Damien and Loren.

Loren looked at Damian, his big pretty eyes seemed to stop talking.

"Say whatever you want, don't hide it. ”

"You black dragon element, is it really useful?" asked Loren seriously.

Damian replied solemnly, "What I said is true. ”

"Yes......" Loren looked around, "you have spent so much money to do this, and it is certainly not for the sake of pranks. ”

Loren seemed to appreciate the decoration of the shop, "Master Duncan's asking price is not cheap, you seem to be quite rich." ”

Dami thinks with peace of mind, isn't my money your money?

Loren suddenly took out a large bag of gold coins and said, "I want ten bottles." ”

Damian was taken aback and asked, "Why do you want so much?"

Loren suddenly became very sad, "My Knights of the Eagle Lord, a few knights were injured in order to protect me a few days ago. ”

Loren has liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and his talent for knighthood is also amazing, and he was promoted to a mid-level knight at a young age. In order to protect his beloved daughter, King Habs set up a female eagle knight as a guard for her, with Loren as the chief knight, and hundreds of knights in the entire knighthood, all of whom are high-level knights, and their strength is very strong.

Damian immediately realized that this matter was not trivial, and asked loudly: "Are you okay, is someone trying to assassinate you, can you make a high-ranking knight injured, the other party's origin is not small." ”

Loren glanced at Damian gratefully, and his tone became much softer, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, it's just that those injured knights seem to have signs of an evil spirit invasion." ”

"Our Habs Empire is a hostile country to the Holy See of Light, and even in Lorraine, there is no Holy Light Mage willing to treat the Habs. ”

"We were going to send those knights home, but the distance is too far for them to last. ”

"I see. Damian walked up to Loren and touched Loren's silver hair, Loren subconsciously wanted to dodge, but didn't know why he didn't. Damian said to her firmly: "Don't worry, they will be fine, now let's wait for Anna's good news." ”

Loren nodded, she was not willing to risk the lives of her subordinates, so whether the black dragon was useful or not was very important to him.

As the hours passed, the estrangement between Damian and Loren seemed to disappear considerably, with Loren telling Damien about her time at Habs, and Damien telling Loren about his childhood on Chuck Street.

It was getting late, and the Blackstone Tavern next door was open, and Loren began to get a little anxious, when suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from the street outside the house, and it seemed that a large group of people were coming.

An old man pushed the door open, dressed in a splendid aristocratic garment, and when he saw Damian, he hurried over.

"Are you Master Damien?" the old man's voice spoke respectfully and politely.
