272. A gift to Carl
Seeing the figure of the magic apprentice leaving quickly, Surdak knew that this magic pattern spirit bone must have been sold too cheaply, even if he didn't know the market situation anymore.
Originally, Surdak priced this magic bone at five gold coins, but before he could make an offer, the magician-looking apprentice stood in front of the stall and said to Surdak that he was willing to take out three magic crystals to buy the leg bone, and asked Surdak if he would like to sell him the wolf leg bone.
Seeing that the magic apprentice was bidding almost four times his own asking price, Surdak did not hesitate to sell the leg bone.
As for those wolf meats that sold for nearly fifteen gold coins, it seems that the people who buy Warcraft meat ingredients in the underground market are not bad for money, and there are no silver hammers on them, almost all of them are settled in gold coins, from the beginning of the stall to the end of the transaction, Surdak only stayed in the underground market for less than an hour.
He re-rolled the raw cowhide on the ground and put it in his magic waist bag, and paid the tax at the door of the underground market before leaving the underground market with Rita and Natasha.
Natasha and Rita followed Surdak and walked down the stone streets of the city of Highlandsa, looking at the small attics on the high rock pedestals on both sides of the street, countless cyan rubble obscuring the city sky, and some were still running around the streets, Natasha could read that the children looked at her and Rita with a clear disdain for the countrymen.
The women of the city would also gather by the pool, do laundry and wash vegetables and gossip, they would also talk about some of the parents' shortcomings, they wore some dresses that Natasha had never seen before, those styles were new and bold, Natasha looked down at the gray burlap dress on her body, and regretted that she did not wear the dress Surdak gave her when she went out.
Just thinking about the skirt holding up her chest a little tightly, Natasha blushed a little.
"What are we going to have for lunch, can we still have that cheese patty from last night?" Rita leaned over to Surdak's side and asked expectantly.
At the crossroads of this long street, there is a cold drink shop, the owner has set up a few long tables under the street tree, and several pairs of young men and women sit at the long table under the tree and drink cold drinks leisurely, they eat small refreshments, laugh and whisper, it is already late September, and in another month, this kind of cold drink shop may be changed to other businesses.
Surdak walked side by side with Rita, with Natasha standing on Rita's other side.
Looking at the syrup and red beans piled on top of the snow-white crumbs, Surdak said to Rita:
"Cheese patties or other delicacies are up to you, but I suggest you try other delicious foods...... Oh, and the rest can be missed, but this one must be tasted when you see it, otherwise you will have to wait until next year to eat it. ”
The shopkeeper was shaving a strip of ice with his head down, and Surdak said to him, "Please bring me three red bean smoothies, with fruit and maple sugar." ”
The red bean smoothie with fruit was not cheap, and the three smoothies cost Surdak a total of one silver coin and five copper plates, and then Surdak took Rita to sit on a bench on the side of the street, with her hands propped on the wooden table, leisurely looking at the scenery on the street.
The owner brought three bowls of smoothies, along with a small plate of pastries stained with soy flour.
Rita looked at the beautifully shaped smoothie carefully for a long time, and asked Surdak with some uncertainty: "This ...... Is it ice? ”
Surdak handed her and Natasha two silver spoons and said with a smile, "Well, taste it, it tastes good." ”
Without hesitation, Rita dug a large spoon and put it into her mouth, and suddenly her eyes showed infinite surprise, a pair of big eyes bent into crescent moons, looking at the girl in front of her with a satisfied look, Surdak couldn't help but sigh lightly in her heart.
Natasha still eats in small bites, she has always been so quiet.
At this time, Surdak heard some familiar voices behind him, as if he had heard it somewhere, and he couldn't remember it: "Knight Surdak, I didn't expect to meet you here, did you come to Highlandsa City to find Karl?" ”
The voice was very low and soft, and the pronunciation of the Chinese language of the Green Emperor was very standard, and it was very standard and aristocratic tone.
When I looked back, I found that it was Carl who took her to the ball of Viscount Emmett, and the lady who had been with Carl all the time, she was wearing a gorgeous long dress, and a hat full of flowers on her head, she was staring at Surdak curiously, and there were two female companions by her side, one of whom was the tall girl who had contact with him on the day of the ball, but now that they met by chance on the street, the tall girl didn't even want to look at him more.
Surdak stood up, gave the lady a standard knightly salute, and then said with a straight face, "I have come to the city for some personal business, and I am going to visit Karl. ”
The lady smiled slightly, and said directly: "Then it is really unfortunate that you have come, Karl and Llewellyn are still on official business in the southern suburbs of Highlandsa City, if you go over there, you may be able to meet them, if it is only a greeting to Karl, maybe I can help you convey it." ”
Surdak didn't expect that the bandit group had been killed by himself for more than ten days, and Karl was still in the southern suburbs of Highlandza City.
"Oh? Thank you for telling me the news, of course more than a greeting, this time I also have a gift for him. Surdak said.
He could feel the perfunctory tone in the noble lady's tone, she was a country knight friend of Carl's, and that was probably the only reason she stood here to greet him.
The noble lady did not pay much attention to Surdak's words, and after greeting her, she did not continue the conversation, and left with her two female companions, followed by several maids and servants.
"They're your friends?" When they were far away, Rita asked Surdak.
Surdak thought about it seriously, are he friends with them?
Of course, they can't be considered friends.
In fact, among this group of nobles, the only person who can afford to look up to himself is Carl, no matter what his purpose, but he has always been selfless to help himself, and he has no requirements for himself, even if he is in deep trouble, he has not taken the initiative to ask for help.
So Surdak said: "It's not a friend, but it should be a friend's friend, they are nobles, so they don't treat a reserve knight as a friend." ”
"Oh!" When Rita heard Surdak say this, she stopped asking.
……
The Count's Palace, Cashment, in the city of Highlandza
Surdak handed the name card in his hand to the guard at the door, and not long after that, a butler in the earl's palace came out and told Surdak that Young Master Karl had gone to the southern outskirts of the city of Highlandsa and had not returned, and asked him to leave his address, and when Young Master Karl returned, he would send him a letter immediately.
Surdak hurriedly said that he also took the time to rush to the city of Highlandza, and would not stay in the city for a long time. Casment was not there, so please ask the butler to hand over the gift he had prepared to Carl, and after speaking, he took out a sealed thumb from his magic waist bag, this box is a little narrow and very heavy, and the housekeeper called two male servants to carry the wooden box into the house,
Surdak then left the Earl of Casment......
