Chapter 74: Stay
"Hao Yin'er, how are you feeling?" Rod gently held the little fox girl in his arms, and didn't even dare to put his hands around, for fear that she would change back in a moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since that night, when he got what he wanted, the girl hadn't let him touch it a second time, and when she asked, she only shirked and hurt underneath...... Rhodes is a man, how can he know the experience of a girl being broken. Although he was suspicious, he didn't dare to be reckless and abrupt anymore, so he could only carefully hold it in his hand and put it in his mouth, and asked quietly.
"Not very good. The little fox girl pouted, still looking aggrieved: "For several days, I couldn't close my legs after transforming, and I couldn't even walk." β
"Okay, it's me who is not good, can't I leave with you, are you more comfortable now?"
"It's a little better. Pretending to be sick can also enjoy preferential treatment, the little fox can be shrewd when her mind is clear, she complained in a low voice, suddenly softened, and leaned on the boy slightly: "Xiao Luo, there is something I want to ask you." β
The girl's intimate movements were a little abnormal, and Rod asked curiously, "What do you say?" β
"I noticed that you had some books in your bag, but you couldn't read a word. "Can you teach me human writing, so I can have something to do when I'm bored?" β
It's an accident to be caught and sold when you go out, but what has happened is irreparable, and since she has entered human society, she is not happy to be a little slave girl who accompanies the bed. If you can't run yourself, then you can learn something and go back like you swore to your sister...... There must be a reason why human beings can squeeze the living space of other races to become world hegemons, and learning their words and understanding their culture is the fastest way to figure out what the advantages of human beings are.
......
"Did you rummage through my bag?" Rod thought, there were indeed a lot of books in the bag, either Catherine or Roy had shoehorned it into him, and the two close people asked him to take time out of his trip to read more books and recharge...... However, as soon as he came out of Wen Wei, he forgot everything completely, and he didn't even open it.
"What's wrong?" The little fox girl moved her furry ears, raised her head and looked at him innocently with big eyes: "You put it over there, and you didn't even pierce your mouth, so I looked at it curiously." β
"It's okay, it's okay. Rod hurriedly squeezed out a smile, it is very rude to move others to wrap up in the human world, but orcs may not have this rule? Even if there is, he is thinking about how to kiss Fang Ze again at this time, as long as this little baby is allowed to touch him, he doesn't care what kind of offense: "You really want to learn, I will take the time to teach you at night." β
"Mmmm, Xiao Luo is so good!" the girl was slightly delighted, put her arms around the boy's neck and kissed him.
Rod was happy in his heart, the little fox girl had a request for herself, and nine times out of ten, she would not resist: "Then now...... Let's make out a bit. β
"Huh?" the little fox girl suddenly made a reluctant look, "You want to ...... again You're going to bully me again......"
"How is it bullying, it's obviously good with you. Rod's courage grew fatter, and he couldn't help but be presumptuous with one hand, playful and funny, which caused the girl to gasp for breath soon and couldn't help but be coquettish.
"Don't move, I'll teach you whatever you want to learn later...... Listen to me now. β

The caravan stopped in this border city, Rhodes and Ciri wandered around during the day to pass the boring time, and at night he put his arms around the little fox girl in the house to teach her to read, although he never had to think about learning, but he still knew the words, the little fox girl was smart and studious, and the teaching process was very smooth.
When he was bored, Rhodes also ran to see the shops where the members of the Chamber of Commerce in the team were selling goods.
Midland is a leader in the civilianization of magical items, such as magic door locks that automatically open when the owner is near, voice-activated magic lights, magic clocks that tell the time, magic pots that control temperature and moisture, and amulets with various additional functions...... A rare thing that looked magical and could only be seen in the mage tower and the homes of the powerful in the past, with the efforts of the scholars and technicians of the Imperial Academy, the production cost has been greatly reduced, and it can enter the door of ordinary well-off families.
The price of these gadgets ranges from low configuration to advanced version, usually 1~10 gold dragons, and the profit itself is not large. However, they rely on mana power, which means that the matching magic crystals need to be replaced regularly, and there is a lot of oil and water in this - the Imperial Chamber of Commerce buys a large number of cheap low-quality magic crystal ores, and uses a special process to extract low-grade magic crystals with low magic content, and polish them into various commodities that require the size and shape of magic crystals - As a result, the amount of magic is thinner than that of some human bodies, and mages cannot even absorb magic from them, so the lowest-grade magic crystals, which have been considered worthless to mine since ancient times, have become the most traded and highest-selling goods.
The price of low-quality magic crystal ore is almost the same as that of iron ore, but when refined into a "battery" to power magic props, it can be sold for far more than the price of high-quality steel of the same weight, and the huge profit is self-evident. The main low-quality magic crystal ores in the Western Continent are all in Midland or Midland's vassal countries, and their prices are almost determined by the Empire. Because the magic content was so low, it had to be replaced in a month or two - a consumable that soon became a new daily expense on the accounts of wealthy families, creating a huge market with little competition, a thriving cash cow.
Even if it is levied high taxes by various countries, the business of various small magic creations with low-level magic crystals is still very profitable, which is why even if the caravan led by Dieter hires more than a dozen "excellent mercenaries" at a high price, no one doubts it, and a caravan that sells magic items can indeed afford such a guard cost.
......
Rhodes used the most top-of-the-line magic equipment at home, and all the "standard magic crystals" that needed to be replaced for a long time were consumed, so he lost interest when he looked at the shop. More than the gadgets, he loved his new weapon for daysβthe scabbard master had spent the night turning the expensive piece of demonic rock vine wood into a giant scabbard.
The lines are smooth, the shape is magnificent, the superb long sword that can withstand the fighting spirit is inserted in it, from the sword body to the sword grid gauntlet are perfectly snapped into the scabbard to fit it, only a slender sword handle that can be grasped by both hands pokes out, looking like a lengthened, thickened and thickened door panel-shaped butcher knife. Carrying it on his body, the little femininity that was originally piggyback on because of his young handsome and delicate facial features was immediately washed away, and the whole person exuded masculinity, which really responded to the saying - people rely on clothes.
This Juhua "two-handed sword" is one and a half meters long and more than 30 centimeters wide and weighs more than 30 catties with the hilt of the sword in its sheathed state. In order to take into account the spiritual needs of the buyer or the need to pretend to be forced, it is also considered that the whole sword is too long and too wide to carry and use...... The craftsman made a small innovation - the scabbard and the leather strap on the back are not tied together, but are stuck by a small mechanism, which can also be removed directly, so that this weapon has two states of use: unsheath and into the sheath.
The sword and the scabbard are usually one, and they can be easily separated when needed - if the blade of the sword needs to hurt someone, just pinch the end of the hilt and twist it slightly, and it can be pulled out like an ordinary two-handed sword. And if you just want to bluff people with its huge body, you only need to hold the hilt of the sword and pull it out one meter long to remove it from the back with the sheath, which is extremely convenient.
The best thing is that it is wrapped around the rock rattan wood and passes through a few animal tendons and belts fixed on it, and grasps it in the hand a few times, and can use the empty scabbard as a narrow shield. It's really a home trip, pretending to be a bluffing top-grade prop.
The scabbard master left a message saying that these small designs were given to Rhodes for the sake of not bargaining, and he hoped that he would be satisfied.
He couldn't have been more satisfied! With such a big guy on his back, who would dare to mock himself with a frivolous attitude as a little white face? If it weren't for Pauli's constant reminder that he was spending his parents' money, he would almost be tempted to throw out a handful of gold coins as a reward. After thanking him, he left with his sword in his hand, turned around and carried it around his body, and if he only looked at the shape, he and Ciri, who claimed to be a witch, were the perfect match for one male and one female.
The only downside is that the bag that used to be carried on the back now has to rest on the waist or on the chest.
He gave the sword the nickname "Dragon Slayer" and began to imagine himself drawing his sword out of its sheath and slashing the dragon in a rage. Unfortunately, no matter where you go to ask someone, you don't have any news of this legendary beast.
