Chapter 421: Downcast Argora
The wind and clouds are tornailing!
In just twenty minutes or so, Argora had eaten enough food to feed ten strong adult men, licking the plates and bowls cleaner than his face, and patting his badly bulging belly......
Lu Li once thought that he would support himself to death, but he didn't expect that there would be nothing at all in the end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just when he secretly lamented the unscientific physique of people in the other world, the rookie alchemist who was almost starved to death hiccuped and nodded with great satisfaction: "Huh, I'm finally full! Thank you, if I hadn't met you today, I'm afraid I would have been starved to death." By the way, I know you, you are the stranger who has suddenly come to Kempera in recent months and has been awarded the honorary title of Watchman. Say, if you have anything to do with me, for the sake of this meal, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse. ”
"I did have a very important matter when I came to you, but before I do that, I want to ask first, how did you get to the point where you could even afford to eat?" Lu Li asked with a curious expression.
You must know that alchemist is a very lucrative profession, even at the apprenticeship level, he can change the form and even essence of many substances with his unique understanding of the material form of another world.
Although it can't compare to those rich businessmen and high-level adventurers who invest a lot of money, it can't even afford to eat, right?
He couldn't help but wonder what this guy was doing......
"Uh...... This question is a bit more complicated...... You see, I'm a merchant and alchemist, and I've chosen the god of invention as my faith, so ......"
The question obviously embarrassed Argora so much that his eyes began to wander and his tone was staggered, as if he was about to change the subject.
But just because he doesn't want to say it doesn't mean that others don't want to say it either.
A werewolf hostess who happened to pass by sneered and interjected, "Dear Watchman, the reason why he has fallen to this point is entirely because he has nothing to do.
The whole of Kempera knows that after his father's death, this guy inherited a sizable chamber of commerce, and it is said that he can earn a lot of gold coins every year through trade, even if he doesn't do anything, he can live comfortably for the rest of his life.
But he didn't want to maintain his business, but was obsessed with alchemy, and as a result, he invested a lot of money in those so-called inventions, and ended up inventing a lot of useless things, and in the end not only ended up with nothing to eat, but also a lot of debt.
Fortunately, the people who borrowed the money were basically his father's former business partners, so he didn't push too much, otherwise he would have been arrested and sent to forced labor. ”
"Invention?!" Lu Li's eyes showed intense surprise.
Algora sighed helplessly, lowered his head, and defended himself a little embarrassedly: "My invention is not useless! It's that no one appreciates it! Take the refining and preservation technology of the black dragon's blood tree sap as an example, it can be used to store powerful magic skills." Another example is the Sharp Eye Elixir, anyone who takes it can clearly see an ant two kilometers away in an hour!"
"Hahahaha! You still have the face to say that the sharp-eyed potion? The adventurer who drank that thing last time couldn't see clearly the object within a hundred meters of him for an entire hour, and was almost killed by the monster. The werewolf hostess wagged her tail and sneered mercilessly.
"But he can see farther!My potion is fine!" Algora slapped the table in frustration.
"Okay, okay, okay! Your potion is fine, it's that guy has a problem with his brain, it's all right, right? As a neighbor, I would like to advise you one last time, stop thinking about all those nonsense inventions, and find a serious job to support yourself, or I'm afraid that when I see you again in the future, you will be starved to death!"
After saying this, the werewolf hostess slapped the young man's head hard with the tray in her hand, and then turned around and left angrily.
Seeing her walk into the back kitchen, Lu Li suddenly said thoughtlessly: "She likes you!"
"Ahh
"I said that werewolf girl liked you just now!" Lu Li repeated his words again.
Agora suddenly woke up at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand desperately: "No! This is absolutely impossible! Kate has been belittling me, how can he like me!"
Lu Li curled the corners of his mouth and teased in the tone of someone who came over: "On the contrary, she belittles you and counts you down, which is a special way of expressing that she cares about you and likes you." Think about it, a stranger you don't know, will he care what you do, will he advise you to find a serious job to settle down? No, they won't. Only those who really care about you and like you will care about this. ”
"Hmm...... You seem to have a point......" Algora nodded thoughtfully, touching the thick stubble on his chin.
However, he quickly laughed at himself with a bitter face: "Forget it, I can't lose my dream, so it's better not to drag the second person down." If you look at the way I am now, I may die in a corner that no one knows, and it is easier for a person to leave quietly than to let someone cry for me at that time. ”
"Hehe, it seems that you still don't understand, in fact, dreams and love don't have to make a choice. Now that you're done eating, take me to see your inventions, and if they're as useful as you describe, I don't mind paying for them. With that, Lu Li took out a golden pagoda and put it on the table and stood up from the chair.
"Inventions?!Are you going to buy my inventions?, God, am I finally going to work!" Algora shouted out in a hurry.
The surrounding guests who were drinking and eating raised their heads with shocked faces, as if they had seen the most incredible scene in the world.
Lu Li didn't care about the strange eyes, and replied with a smile: "I was a merchant before I became an adventurer, so as long as your invention is useful to me, I will pay for it, but if it is useless to me, then I will not even pay for a copper leg." ”
Algoras took a deep breath and solemnly assured, "Please rest assured, I believe that among so many inventions, there will always be a few who will be chosen. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, lead the way, I can't wait to see what you invented...... you invented," Lu Li said meaningfully.
As an outsider with far more insight than the locals, he could be sure from the conversation just now that this down-and-out young man had definitely done a lot of amazing things, but the side effects might have been a little bigger......
