Chapter XXVIII

As Dio followed Elle towards the inn, Masaldo's room was greeted by an uninvited guest.

"Wells, I seem to have told you that I don't need you to meddle in my affairs. Masaldo looked unkind and spoke coldly.

"Do you think I'd like to see your dead face?" Wells snorted coldly, "According to the above, this person should have just entered Pile Tower Town yesterday, you see." Wells placed a portrait in front of Masaldo.

Masaldo was a little surprised, originally thought that this guy came here to make trouble for himself, but who knew that it wasn't like that. After picking up the portrait and looking at it, Masaldo's brows suddenly furrowed, "Who painted this? ”

The corners of Wells' mouth twitched imperceptibly, because of the importance of the matter, he didn't dare to fake others, this portrait was from his handwriting, but at this time, Wells naturally refused to admit it, but just argued strongly, "Time is tight, the painting was a little hasty, but the age can't be wrong, about twenty years old." ”

Masaldo casually threw the portrait aside, "Is this thing useless, let's talk about it, what are the characteristics of the person you are looking for, I wonder if you came all the way here to find someone?"

Wells glanced at the work that had taken him two full hours to put aside, his expression was extremely exciting, and he wanted to scold, but he couldn't find a reason, the only thing he could do was to cough dryly twice, and diverted the topic, "Yesterday a caravan was robbed on the east side of the town, you know about it, right?"

"I don't know what happened. Masaldo replied slowly.

"It's not very clear, this is your territory!" Wells was furious at Masaldo's answer.

"My territory, my territory is limited to Hetatown, you don't think the whole of Chriss Plains is under my control, do you?" Masaldo sneered.

"You ......" Wells was so angry that his face was flushed, and even his eyebrows were raised, while Masaldo was secretly cool on the side, he had long seen that this guy was not pleasing to the eye, and he dared to send it to the door to find him uncomfortable.

What Wells wants to do most at the moment is to pull out the long sword on his waist and pierce the heart of this annoying old guy in front of him, but in fact, Wells doesn't dare to do this, and he can't do it, ten years ago, Masaldo was a tenth-order radiant warrior, and now he has been promoted to an extreme warrior, the gap between the two is not big, not to mention that Masaldo has been operating in Duta Town for so many years, even if he can kill Masaldo, it is impossible to leave this house.

"Okay...... Masaldo, I think I need to remind you that this mission is very important and there is no room for error. Suppressing the anger in his heart, Wells said with a straight face.

"So serious?" Masaldo laughed suddenly, "But, it seems like it's your mission, right, does it have anything to do with me?"

"If you knew what was hidden in the convoy, I am afraid you would not be smiling so much. Wells said coldly.

"What is it?" Seeing that Wells' expression did not seem to be fake, Masaldo's curiosity was aroused.

"Star shards. ”

"What?!" Masaldo stood up sharply, his eyes sharpened, and he stared at Wells deadly.

"You're a smart man. In the hotel, Elle said to Dio with a smile as she led him to a small box, and then looked thoughtful: "Huh, have I seen you somewhere?"

"Seen twice. Dio said, "Once at Master Masaldo, and once at your inn. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice you. A flush appeared on Ellie's cheeks, as if she felt guilty that she hadn't noticed Dio.

Dio looked at Elle with a smile on her face, during the lunch meal, those men always deliberately said some very rude and explicit jokes, but Elle was able to circle among the many diners with the same expression, which is enough to prove how strong her heart is, who can deceive her when she suddenly puts on the appearance of this little woman?

"Lady Ellie, do you have something to do with me?" said Dio, straight to the point.

"By the way, show me your jewelry. Ellie said.

Dio placed the package on the table and pushed it over.

Elle opened the package, observed one by one, and after a long time, suddenly asked, "How much do you want to sell these jewels?"

"You want to buy it?" asked Theo.

"I didn't want to buy it, but now I want it all. ”

"Why?"

"I just don't want that old thing to do business!" said Elle hatefully, "Are you satisfied with this reason?"

"Understood. ”

"By the way, how much does Apos offer?" asked Ellie.

"Apos?"

"It's the old pawn shop!"

"Oh...... Fifty gold coins. Dio said softly.

"What are you talking about??," Ellie almost screamed.

"Fifty gold coins. Dio repeated, his expression sincere, without the slightest hint of panic.

"I thought you were an honest man, but who would have thought ...... Not to mention a pile of rags, even if you send a shard of stars to Apos, he won't offer more than thirty gold coins!" Ellie gritted her teeth and said word by word, her fingertips clutching the package turning white from too much force, "Do you believe it or not? I'll smash it all in your face?!"

It seems too high...... Although Dio's face did not change at all, he was indeed a little ashamed in his heart.

"Honestly...... Dior smiled, "I wanted to do that when I was at the pawn shop." ”

Elle was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Dio meant, it was the old thing that Pos wanted to beat.

In fact, if Dio apologized too late at this time, the next moment, Elle would not hesitate to kick him out, and Dio's expression was very skillful, not only showing his hatred for Aros, but also putting himself in the position of a victim, the former is the same enemy, the latter, is the same disease.

Elle looked at Dio for a moment, and her expression gradually calmed down, but her tone was still cold: "You can make a new offer." ”

"Apos gave me five gold coins. Dio said, "As long as you can be taller than him, these are all yours." ”

"Five gold coins?" Elle was skeptical, looked at the jewels in the package carefully, and thought about Apos's style of acting, and felt that it should be about the same: "Really five gold coins?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's the first time I've seen you do business. Elle smiled again: "I'll give you five gold coins, plus a copper coin, won't these jewels belong to me?"

"Just add a copper coin?" Dio was stunned, he wanted to be a black-hearted businessman, but in the end he didn't, he was a little embarrassed, Suo was honest, trying to exchange for Ellie's favor, in his mind, Ellie should be moved by him, and he was also embarrassed to do too much argument over the price, which was better than negotiating a deal.

It's a pity that Dio's communication partner is not the kind of arrogant nobleman, but the owner of a small hotel in a border town, and it is a mistake to ignore the other party's status, and it is a mistake to ignore the other party's experience, surname, and even surname.

"You're not going to have a big deal with me, are you?" said Ellie with a grin, "and...... But as you say, as long as I bid more than Apos, the jewels will be mine. ”

You add a copper coin to a copper coin, and you still say that I care about it? Dio knows what a 'bite back' is, he stared at Elle for a long time, and let out a long breath, forget it, let's get rid of a few guys over there tonight, buy some daily necessities tomorrow, and then leave Duita Town, the people of this place...... Tahmy it.

"What?" Elle could see the loosening of Dio's expression.

"Deal. Dio nodded.

"Okay, that's what a big man is. Ellie laughed, and then her expression became a little twisted: "But...... I don't have that much money now, is this good, I'll give you an IOU first, at most two months, I'll return the money to you, not a single copper coin will be bad, don't worry. ”

Dio was dumbfounded, he couldn't spit out a word, in a sentence from his previous life, he said that he who has a thunderous chest and a face like a peaceful lake, but he can worship the general, Dio is so demanding of himself, and he has been doing a good job, but at this moment, he is really a little uncontrollable.

"I'll write you an IOU right now. Elle took out a pen and paper in a decent manner, wrote a few words, and then raised her head: "By the way, what's your name?"

What Dio wants to do most now is to jam Elle's neck, then push Elle against the wall, point at her nose and yell, you dare to play Lao Tzu?!

"Looks like you're embarrassed?" said Ellie to see that Dio's face was very, very unsightly.

"I ...... I need money. Dio's tone became a little harsh, and he tried to keep himself from going berserk.

"What do you need money for?"

"Money can do a lot of things, such as...... I need money to stay in a hotel and eat, so should I live on the street?" Dior reached out and grabbed the package, he didn't want to waste any more time with the other party.

"It's okay. Elle pressed Theo's hand: "You can move to me, I will prepare the best room for you, can you eat...... Wrapped around me, too, how's that?"

"Anything else?" said Dio, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Huh, what more do you want?" asked Ellie, her eyes full of puzzlement.

Dio knew that he had lost his eyes, a widow who was used to hearing lewd jokes, it was impossible not to understand what he meant, but Elle's expression was impeccable, and he couldn't find any subtle details that could be corroborated, so he could only say that Elle was similar to him, and he was also a person who was good at controlling his expression, so there was a story in this, why did he have to invite himself?

"Nothing. Dio let go of his hand: "Find me a room." ”

"Now?"

"Yes, now. Dio said, "I need to rest, by the way, when do you usually rest at night?"

"It's almost ten o'clock. ”

"Wake me up before you get ready to rest. ”
