Clear Sky didn't expect that after he gave the sheriff a few boosts in strength, this black cat would become a super sycophant. Saying such things in public, I really don't even want to lose face.

Is there a person who makes people swear allegiance at the first meeting?

Did I say I'm going to take orcs as followers?

Sunny Sky explained, "Please don't pay attention to what this cat says, there is wine in the canned fish, and he is drunk and dizzy. ”

Just as the sheriff was about to make another big fuss, Jenvernie grabbed him and quickly shoved him into a large pocket under his smock. It's fast, just enough for the sheriff to make a "meow".

Then it was quiet.

Kyle Hain knew he shouldn't be vindictive with a cat, even though the guy could talk, ate better than himself, and had his coat well cared for......

The more I think about it, the more angry I get!

Kyle Hain quickly stopped thinking about the black cat, and assured Sunny Sky: "Miss Sunny Sky, please believe in my Kel Haven's credit. Since I have accepted your commission, no matter what happens, I will definitely send you and your entourage to the ancestral grassland. ”

Sunny Sky placed a golden coupon on the table and said to Orc Hamm, "My camels and pack beasts are outside, feed them with the best forage you have here." Prepare another camel for my guide......

Seeing that he doesn't have any travel supplies, you open a tavern here, you should know what he will need, so buy them on your behalf.

If I don't have enough money, I'll make up for it when I leave. ”

The gold streaks on the surface of the gold tickets on the table were very dazzling, attracting the attention of everyone in the tavern, who was eager to pounce on them and fight for them.

In the West, especially outside the areas under the direct control of the Empire, the banknotes issued by the Empire were not universally recognized. Bartering is a common method of trading, and the status of gold, silver and copper, a precious metal currency, is unshakable.

However, the gold and silver coupons endorsed by the Sparkling Gold and the World Bank were successfully accepted by the West. And because of the ease of carrying and use, the exchange ratio of gold and silver coupons to gold and silver exceeded the standard exchange rate of the Empire.

A golden coupon is a huge amount of money for everyone here, and the direct sense of wealth impact is even more than the bottle of water elemental essence whose value varies from person to person.

Orc Hamm scanned the tavern and dispelled everyone's greed. He grabbed the gold voucher and checked it out, then said, "What a generous elf lady. Your camels and pack animals will be well cared for, and your guide will have a complete set of travel supplies.

I wish you all a pleasant meal and a smooth journey. ”

Orc Hamm took the golden ticket and turned around and walked back to the back kitchen.

Kyle Hain kept staring at the golden coupon and followed Hamm away, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze and complained to Clear Sky, "You should give me that golden ticket, I can save you a lot of money." I'm sure he'll end up blackmailing you.

I'm all too familiar with Hamm's tricks. ”

Qingkong said: "If you want to reach the ancestral grassland as soon as possible, some necessary road expenses are indispensable. I'd rather spend a little more than be harassed on the road. ”

Kyle Hain was very confident in his strength and said, "You mean the sand pirates? Rest assured, Miss Weatherlight, I guarantee that all your expenses on me will be worth the money. ”

Clear Sky just smiled and didn't answer, but would ask, "Do you want to eat canned food?" ”

"Can I eat it?" Kyle Hain had long coveted the fragrant canned food, but he wasn't too embarrassed to ask for it.

"Absolutely. This stuff was very cheap for us and we had enough food and water for the trip. ”

Clear Sky tapped on the table, and in the empty wine glass at his hand, the water rose from the bottom to the rim.

Jenvernie shoved a canned meat and fruit in front of Kyle Harin: "Enjoy, if you don't have enough, I still have ...... here"

Kyle Hain was delighted: "Great food and plenty of water, it was definitely a wonderful trip. Thank you, Miss Sunny Sky, thank you, Miss Jenverny. ”

With that, Kellhain stuffed the uneaten horse chaff cake into his pocket, picked up a fork and held the can and ate it in a big bite.

The incessant praise while eating caused everyone else in the tavern to swallow. Several of them hurriedly checked out, and after taking a deep look at the clear sky, quickly left the tavern.

After Kyl Hain had drained four barrels of canned food, Orc Hamm came out of the back kitchen. This time, he sat down directly, sniffed the fragrance of the canned food unconsciously, and then said to the clear sky: "Miss Elf, everything you want is ready." A total of two gold vouchers, you still owe one ......"

The short-mouthed Kyle Hain immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, "Hamm, have you bought a camel cavalry?" You've earned a lot, please do it in moderation! ”

Hamm ignored Kyle Hain and kept staring at the clear sky.

Qingkong smiled and said, "It's only two gold coupons, isn't it a bit less?" ”

What?

Kyle Hain was taken aback. I'm trying my best to save you money, but you still think that you are slaughtered less, are you so willful when you have money?

Hamm smiled helplessly: "It seems that Miss Elf knows very well about the shady things in the Scorched Wood Camp. I have tried my best to mediate for you, but your wealth and your appearance have made many people unwilling to give up. ”

"Then I'll show my strength a little, and you can help me talk to them?"

After the clear sky finished speaking, the originally hot room was replaced by a cool burst, and then the roof rustled.

It's raining!

The people in the tavern immediately noticed the change in the weather, someone opened the door of the tavern, and the rain curtain was rumbling down the eaves, and the ground in front of the door quickly became muddy.

Ten meters away, the sky was still covered with yellow sand, and the refraction caused by the high temperature made the distant scenery shake. The people around the camp saw that it was raining here, and they ran over with containers to fill the water.

But in an instant, the raindrops turned to ice cubes, and the snow flew around the tavern, creating a spectacle in the heat of the desert.

Inside the tavern, the temperature dropped rapidly, and everyone's exhaled breath turned into a white mist, and frost condensed on the eyelashes and eyebrows.

The water in the cup was frozen out of the ice.

At this time, Clear Sky asked the orc Hamm, "This snow should help you better mediate for me." ”

Hamm said respectfully, "Honorable and powerful magician, please forgive me for the offense I just made to you. I guarantee that all of you in the Scorched Wood camp have felt your kindness, and those who covet your wealth and beauty will thank you for your kindness not to kill.

Please wait, I'll bring their attitude soon. ”

The wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the heat rushed in with sand and dust through the door, allowing the goblins to close the door as quickly as they could, and then enjoy the coolness of the sealed room.

Clear Sky said to Hamm, "I can understand their difficulties, and there will always be people who are uncomfortable if we are allowed to cross the border like this." After all, people need to eat and horses have to eat grass, and it is difficult to guarantee that some hungry people will take risks.

I don't want any delays along the way, let them make an offer, and I'll accept it as long as it's appropriate. ”

Hamm stood up and saluted the clear sky, "Thank you, Miss Elf, I guarantee that no one in the Scorched Wood camp will dare to upset you on the way." ”

Hamm strode out the door, and deliberately stopped under the eaves to let the water run down his body, and then walked away comfortably.

Not knowing what was going on, Kyle Hain asked Sunny Sky, "Miss Sunny Sky, what were you talking to Hamm about?" Why can't I understand? ”

Clear Sky looked at Kellhain and asked, "I don't even understand this, I really don't know how you made a living in the Scorched Wood camp." ”

Kail Hain said embarrassedly, "I heard from others that during the harvest festival, you can receive a high-paying commission at the Scorched Wood camp, so I have just been here for a short time.

But rest assured, Miss Clearsky, I am very familiar with the Harmutu Basin, and I know how to get to the Ancestral Meadows quickly. ”

Clear Sky didn't suspect Kyle Harin, this guy looked like an adult, but as a half-orc, his real age was definitely much younger than he looked.

And some of the rules in the desert, if no one teaches them, I'm afraid even the locals won't know them.

Hamm should have some time to negotiate, and Clear Sky explained to Kyle Hain what he had talked to Hamm.

The scorched wood camp was located on a road in and out of the Halmutu Basin, and the arrival of travelers and caravans was sure to be somewhat trimmed, which gave the sand pirates the opportunity to investigate the goods that were carried with them.

When encountering valuable goods and poorly guarded caravans, the sand pirates can set up an ambush in advance according to the situation.

That's why there's a lot of sand pirates in the Scorched Wood camp.

And the two female elves and female humans who traveled alone, carrying a lot of property, were naturally fat sheep in the eyes of the sand thieves.

"Hamm runs the tavern here, and he knows who the sand pirates are. I wanted to pay some money so that the sand pirates wouldn't delay my journey, so I entrusted Ham with negotiating on my behalf.

The first conversation didn't go well, I showed some strength and was willing to give money, and the sand pirates should know how to make trade-offs. ”

"Wow......" said Kyl Hain in surprise, "your first time in the West, you know more than I know." ”

Clear Sky said: "I didn't say that it was the first time I came to the West, but the way I came here was different. Still canned or not? ”

Kellhain licked his mouth, but finally held back: "I can't eat anymore, and if I eat again, I won't be able to protect you."

Although I am not as strong as you, I will definitely be worthy of the payment you paid me, and so many delicious canned food. ”

"Alright, then rest, and when Hamm brings back news, we'll go."

Clear Sky pulls out a book and summons a spirit orb to illuminate himself.

Seeing such a scene, Kyl Hain did not dare to make any sound, and even the others in the tavern acted cautiously. In this backward and wild world, people have an instinctive respect for knowledge and scholars.

In a dilapidated tent in the corner of the scorched wood camp, a group of people of all shapes and races gathered around the orc Hamm, listening to his persuasion.

"The vision that just happened outside the tavern, you must have seen it. That elf is a very powerful magician, and attacking her will cause you serious casualties. When a person dies, what's the use of asking for more money?

The elf had something important to rush to the ancestral grassland, and she didn't want someone to disturb and delay time on the way, so she was willing to pay a fee for a quiet journey.

Let's make an offer. ”

One of the diners who had just been in the tavern said, "I saw that the elf gave the orc a bottle of water elemental essence, and a drop of water elemental essence can give birth to two large glasses of water.

I'm sure she has more water elemental essences, and you should know the value of water in the desert. ”

Another man, who also came out of the tavern, said greedily: "She still has meat and fruit stored in the tin can, and she will take out a golden coupon at will." ”

The descriptions of the two made the sand pirates attracted by these riches.

"She can also produce widespread rain in dry desert environments, and she can also produce snow and ice in high temperatures," Hamm exclaimed. I felt the coldness firsthand, and only she was willing to turn me into an ice sculpture in an instant.

Do not let the greedy sand blind your eyes, since the elves have shown kindness, you had better accept it.

This is the advice of an old sand thief to you, those who don't should be robbed will only be drowned under the dunes. ”

At this time, a prestigious sand thief stood up and said: "Hamm is right, the sand thief who robs to survive is the master of the desert, and the sand thief who robs to make a fortune is the dry bones of the desert.

Since the elves have shown her kindness with her strength, we should also recognize our own strength and restrain our greed, and be grateful to the elves for saving some of us from dying under her magic.

Drowning in the desert is an absolute humiliation. ”

The sand thief's words caused a burst of laughter.

Hamm was also relieved to see this: "It seems that everyone is willing to give the elves a quiet journey, so what do you want from the elves?" ”

The sand thief just now said without hesitation, "I want a bottle of water elemental essence." ”

The sand thieves who were pondering how many gold coupons they wanted immediately woke up: "I want a bottle of water elemental essence. ”

"I want a bottle of water elemental essence."

"I want a bottle of water elemental essence."

……

Hamm didn't expect these sand thieves to want this.

He returned to his tavern and told the sand thieves what they wanted, and said apologetically, "I know that any items related to alchemy are very valuable, and you don't carry so many water elemental essences with you.

But please give them some of them, let them divide them themselves, and then pay a little bit of the gold coupons.

This kind of water source that can be carried with them is too tempting for those of them who walk in the desert all year round! ”

Clear Sky was surprised: "Do those sand thieves want water elemental essence?" Don't think about gold coupons at all? ”

Clear Sky originally wanted to bleed for this safe journey, but he didn't expect that what the sand thieves wanted was so different from what he had imagined.

Hamm was embarrassed to say, "If you're really embarrassed......"

"No, it's not difficult at all!" Afraid that Hamm would regret it, Clear Sky quickly pulled out a bottle of water elemental essence one by one, not caring at all about the eyeballs that were about to burst out of the circle. Finally, he asked, "Is it enough?" ”

Hamm's mind went blank, and he nodded dumbly: "Enough! ”
