Chapter 18 Arrival
"Hey, have you heard, a country in the east has been beaten by rampaging dragons? Merchant A's talk.
"Dragons? "It is impossible for ordinary people to meet in their lives, and the rumors of this ethereal existence make businessman B stunned, and that's all. "I've heard that dragons' teeth are rare materials for enchantment. "It should be said that he is worthy of being a businessman, and the chat is not detached from the essence.
"Ahh......h It's a dragon after all. While chatting, I looked at the reagent sample in my hand.
"It's another question if you can't beat it. "Defeating the dragon is nonsense in itself," Merchant B shook his head.
This is the end of the conversation between the two.
Well, who was also standing beside the two of them, picking out the potions on the shelves, also heard their conversation. But I don't care. It's the same as when you go online to Taobao and accidentally see the news that the US imperialists were invaded and destroyed by aliens, it's good to be surprised. Now Tifa cares about which medicine on the shelves can cure heat stroke.
On the last part of the journey, an old man who couldn't eat enough every day suddenly suffered from heat stroke. So I had to stop and rest. Among them, because of this unexpected event, the old man's savings were finally exhausted at this moment, that is, he had to help them pay for them.
After looking for a long time, I saw the medicine for heat stroke. But β and now in front of Tifa, there are two options.
One is a box of five bottles, a full course of treatment. One is retail sale, immediate treatment (palliative but not curative)...... What the hell is it that treats the symptoms but not the root cause? Does it pit consumers? What fool would buy useless medicine.
Wait, maybe it's the combination of this potion that looks quite painful and the five-bottle next to it that forces consumers to buy the bundled sale next to it...... Good intentions. Tifa couldn't help but glance at the aunt who was eating melon seeds on the platform.
I didn't have a choice, didn't I, I took the more expensive one, and Tifa came to the cashier to pay the bill reluctantly.
The aunt who was eating melon seeds looked away from the knight novel in her hand and glanced at it lightly. "Seven gold coins, no discounts. He spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth.
-- After coming out --
"Thank you...... Thank you......" The frail old man took it weakly.
"Nothing, taking care of a sick person is a matter of course...... By the way, this box of seventy gold coins. When he handed it to the other party, Tifa clenched it tightly and couldn't let go.
Should the contrast between the former sentence and the latter sentence be so big...... There was no hidden meaning in the words that he wanted the other party to repay the money, so that Uncle Liu's hand shook violently. "That's really ...... Thank you very much. "Reluctant thanks.
Right now, his group has come to the country where the master and servant are. However, the thought that this so-called country was a small place about the size of the territory of an ordinary lord of his own empire made me feel a little painful. No, as you can guess from the map plate, it's just a small country interspersed between empires.
"Speaking of which, aren't you the princess of this country? As a princess, you should be able to stay in a five-star hotel for free without a reservation. Tina, who was eating street food, looked out of the way and saw it from the time she entered the city, and it was quite different from the surrounding buildings. Equivalent to the existence of a high-rise building in a small apartment.
"Ahem, of course, butβI don't think anyone will believe it. Look at his and Miss's clothes, Uncle Liu shook his head.
"I'm more concerned than thisβ" I also noticed. However, his eyes shifted, and Tifa was more concerned about the palace of the kingdom not far from the luxury hotel...... How to say it, his own Wangcheng can't even compare to a hotel next door, how miserable is this mix.
Uncle Liu: "...... This is a legacy from hundreds of years ago, and it is too cumbersome to re-expand. β
"All in all, sending you there is mission accomplished. Hurry up, hurry up!" I was troublesome and picked up the weak old man...... This time, the posture of carrying the person is normal, after all, it is not a hurry.
"Yes. "No matter what I've suffered these days, a certain princess said she really wanted to go back.
"Aren't you going to play for a while?" Tina was looking forward to a stroll...... Local attractions or something.
"There are many more opportunities like this. In the direction of the palace, he quickened his pace.
