Chapter 6 Ai Yuan
"Alberta?" Hearing this, Starmark looked at Old Jack, Alberta was the destination where he was originally going to sell Falling Star, and then looked at Old Jack's slightly sly smile, no need to ask, Starmark also knew that this old boy had probably been calculating himself, otherwise how could it be so coincidental?
Starmark's face remained unchanged and he spoke, "Where is Albeta?"
Old Jack smiled and said, "According to reliable sources, the Joscent family has obtained a Heaven and Earth Tree fruit, and it has the intention of selling it. ”
"For sale?" The corners of Starmark's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Old Jack and said: "The Joscent family, but the leader of Elbeta, even the Merchant Guild is unwilling to provoke them, and this kind of giant is not short of money, how could they want to sell such a rare treasure." ”
Old Jack explained, "You are right, the Joscent family is indeed not short of money. He paused, then continued.
"I'm afraid you don't know the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree, after this fruit is separated from the mother tree, it can only guarantee the medicinal effect for one month, although it has the effect of prolonging life, but in fact the effect on young people is not great, only the old people who have entered the twilight of their lives, have obvious effects. The Josente family itself was looking for an elder in the family, but the elder didn't hold out until they returned. ”
"Isn't there any other old man or old lady in their family who need to take it?"
Old Jack grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, "This is not for you and me to ask, you just need to know that they are selling the Heaven and Earth Tree fruit." As for the price, you also know that the Joscent family is not short of money, so money has no meaning to them, it is just a number, and they will only exchange it for some valuable treasures. ”
"That's the falling star?" Starmark also laughed, but in his heart, he secretly scolded Old Jack, "This old thing, definitely received the benefits of the Joscent family, knowing that the falling star is here, if this transaction is successful, maybe how much you can earn, bastard, he also charged me five hundred gold coins! No wonder he also told me where the Heaven and Earth Tree is!"
In fact, he didn't have too much reluctance to exchange the falling star, the falling star itself was to be sold, if it could be exchanged for the magic medicine that prolonged Abner's life, he wouldn't have any hesitation, he just felt sorry for the five hundred gold coins he had just spent to buy the intelligence. Because he understands that even if he doesn't spend these five hundred gold coins, he is afraid that it will not be long before he can get this news for free.
was exposed by the star mark, but Old Jack was not embarrassed at all, but seemed to be kind and advised: "Of course, you have other things that you can exchange, but this time the Joscent family is said to have revealed the news to many forces, so if you want to overpower the goods in their hands, I'm afraid you will only have the falling star." ”
"Okay, I got it. Before Old Jack could speak, Starmark had already gotten up and left.
Looking at the back of Starmark leaving, Old Jack's smile slowly retracted, and a soft sigh came out, "God willing, this is not the last time we will work together." ”
As soon as the words fell, Old Jack's gaze swept to the sofa where Starmark was sitting before, and his eyes, which were still a little regretful, immediately became sharp, and then a roar rushed out of his throat: "Bastard, this bastard, he actually ruined the sofa I bought for three gold coins for the decoration of three gold coins! God, your most devout believer prays to you that this guy will never come back and never appear in front of me again!"
Known as the port capital, Alberta is home to the largest trading port in the Kingdom of Rune and is no less prosperous than Prontera. Because the headquarters of the Merchants' Guild is located in this city, it is even more lively than Prontera. As soon as Starmark entered the city, he was overwhelmed by the overwhelming clamor of selling.
"The steel giant sword that has just been built, with the attribute of flames, only costs three thousand gold coins, that's right, you heard it right, not ninety thousand, not nine thousand, as long as three thousand gold coins, you can have a peerless sword that will accompany you for a lifetime!"
"The Golden Silk Inner Armor with amazing defense has been sold. Even if you stand in the midst of ten thousand arrows, you are like raindrops, and you are fearless. Now the big sale, as long as 8,000 gold coins, you can't miss it!"
All kinds of cries were endless, and even Starmark couldn't help but gather to several stalls to take a look, but he didn't make a move. It's not because those goods are bad, but because Starmark is reluctant, with his dedication to money, even if it's half the price, he can't bother to buy it.
Starmark strolls down the street, and even though he doesn't shop here, it's still a good idea to browse the stalls on both sides of the street, in case there's anything great value?
At this moment, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound behind him, followed by a girl's exclamation in his ears.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Starmark looked behind him and saw a wheelbarrow about half a person tall rushing towards him. Behind the trolley, a little girl with short orange hair could be faintly seen, although her face was flushed with force, she still couldn't stop the car from galloping willfully, and the others flashed to both sides, but no one lended a helping hand. The screams that Starmark had heard before seemed to be made by this girl.
Seeing this, Starmark sighed, and sighed in his heart for the indifference of the world, the little girl had tried very hard to stop the car, but no one around her was willing to help. Reaching out and rolling his sleeve up, Starmark did not choose to avoid it, although he is a thief, it does not mean that he is a wicked person, on the contrary, he has been lonely since he was a child, and he is more willing to help other children.
"Get out of the way!" The little girl must have seen the star mark, and her cry became more urgent.
The merchants who were setting up stalls next to them also changed their faces suddenly when they saw this, and shouted loudly: "Sir, get out of the way, don't get in the way, you will be injured!"
Hearing this, Starmark glanced coldly at those who not only didn't help, but also asked him to get out of the way, which immediately made many people who were still persuading him close their mouths, just sighed and turned around.
At this time, the trolley had already come to Starmark, Starmark smiled slightly, slapped his right hand in a dashing manner, and put it on the galloping trolley. However, the moment Starmark's right hand made contact with the trolley, Starmark's smiling face suddenly turned into shock, and at the same time, there was a slight crunch in his arm.
Starmark's left hand immediately slapped out, blocking the trolley with both hands at the same time, but he had a feeling of being a mantis arm as a car, and a huge force passed from his hands to his body, almost knocking Starmark out of the air.
"Holy!" At this time, Starmark had completely lost that calmness, and his body quickly turned around, directly pressing his back against the trolley, while supporting his feet on the ground, and using his body against the trolley.
This time, Starmark succeeded, but the price of success was that on this road paved with bluestone, two ravines ten meters long were left, and Starmark himself felt that the bones in his whole body were crispy, especially his legs had lost sensation, if it weren't for his physical fitness, even if ordinary people didn't die, the bones would have to be broken seven or eight knots. At this time, he recalled the situation when everyone told him to stay away before, and he had to shake his head with tears and laughter, just like the teacher said, look at it from another angle, maybe the indifference you think will no longer be cold.
At that moment, the little girl's voice came from Starmark's side.
"Big brother, you're not hurt, thank you!"
Starmark turned to look at the little girl, only to see that she was looking at herself cautiously, like a child who has made a mistake and is waiting to be scolded. Seeing her expression, even if Xingji wanted to lose his temper, it was impossible, so he had to smile bitterly: "Little girl, what are all the things in your car, why is it so heavy." ”
After the process of blocking the car just now, Xingji can conclude that the weight of this car must be at least 3,000 catties or more, otherwise he will not make himself so embarrassed.
The little girl squeezed out an embarrassed smile, reached out and opened the side door of the trolley, took out a few bottles of potions of different colors, and said: "It's just some potions, this potion is not heavy, but the car that grandpa gave me is too heavy." ”
"How heavy can this car be, it's quite heavy" Xingji began to push on the car disapprerovingly, who expected that this push, like pushing a mountain, was denied by himself before he finished speaking.
At this moment, Xingji looked at the little girl's face and became strange, the weight of this car was far beyond his judgment, I am afraid that it was more than 5,000 catties, he was a little stunned This little girl who looked like she was about ten years old, and wondered how she could pull such a heavy car.
The little girl seemed to see the idea of the star mark, lowered her head, stretched out her hand and twisted the corner of her clothes, and said a little shyly: "Grandpa said that the greater the businessman, the heavier his cart should be, so he gave me this car"
"Old neurotic! He's not afraid to kill people!" Xingji subconsciously spit out the thoughts in his heart, but this time it fell on the little girl's ears, and the little girl's eyes were directly red, her big eyes were filled with tears, and there was crying in her tone.
"It's all Ai Yuan's fault, Ai Qi is so big, I can't pull the car, it turns out that there are kind uncles and aunts who helped me stop the car and are all injured, Ai Qi is so stupid, so useless. ”
At this moment, Starmark's resentment was directly extinguished by the girl's tears. Ai Qi looks very cute, Star Mark herself is not angry with her, but to the irresponsible grandfather in her mouth, from Ai Yuan's words, and the performance of others, Star Mark knows that I am afraid that the car accident caused by Ai Qi today is by no means the first time, this is obviously to let his granddaughter come out as a road killer!
Looking at the tears that slid down the little girl's cheeks, Starmark was a little panicked.
"Don't cry, be good, don't cry, big brother didn't say you, don't cry, brother will buy you candy. ”
The little girl raised her head and cried like a cat, which made people feel even more distressed. "Ai Pyrene doesn't eat sugar, grandpa said that eating sugar will cause tooth decay, and he doesn't let Ai Pyrene eat sugar. Woo, grandpa also said that a great businessman should be able to sell his goods, Ai Yuan is useless, not only bumped into someone, but a few bottles of potion, sold for several days without selling, and went back to be scolded by grandpa again. As she spoke, the little girl cried even more sadly, and the tears of the bean big came out of her eyes and fell to the ground crackling.
Xingji hurriedly said: "Don't cry, Ai Yuan is a good businessman, and your brother has bought all the potions." ”
Hearing this, Ai Qi immediately stopped crying, looked at Xing Qi with tears on his face, and said, "Brother, are you serious, you didn't lie to Ai Yuan?"
