Chapter 31: Half-Father
"Underground Soul Ginseng, it's just right to replenish your wife's body, fifty alliance gold coins are enough...... Ok, welcome next time. ”
"The complete sixth-order Fire Dragon Lizard Beast Demon Crystal Nucleus, sir, you are quite discerning, this is one of the most valuable items we have here...... Four hundred alliance gold coins are not expensive, welcome to come back next time. ”
"Thirty-six Alliance Gold Coins, if you count that crystal...... Well, you say that handsome blonde guy, he's not from my shop, he's just a friend of mine helping out here......"
Drinking the black "tea" that he had specially made all night a few days ago, Ke Rui sat on the chair behind the counter of the small shop and shook his fan comfortably, with a perfect smile on the corner of his mouth, receiving every guest.
The first floor of the small building is divided into two large rooms, the back is the living room, and the front is the shop. On every shelf in the store is displayed the inventory that Ke Rui has accumulated for more than half a year, in addition to ordinary Warcraft materials and some mineral crystals, there are many strange things.
For example, a dusty silver hourglass at the bottom of a shelf not far from Curry.
Rawls clasped his arms to his chest, leaning against the shelves by the door, a pair of golden eyes boredly glanced at the bustling Sherman Street in front of him and the people coming in and out of the small building, finally closed his eyes and yawned, stood up and stretched hard, the corner of his eye looked out of nowhere, the corner of his mouth curled, and turned to walk towards the counter.
"One hundred and seven Alliance Gold Coins, welcome to come back next time. ”
Curry smiled and put the teacup on the counter, lifted the teapot and poured another cup for himself, slowly tasting the unique bitter fragrance, and let out a sigh of relief.
"I don't know how you drink such a bitter thing with a human body. ”
Rawls poured himself a glass as well, tilted his head and drank it down, then the corners of his mouth twitched, and his whole body trembled.
"We're traveling merchants, and that's all we need to do is one thing. Curry smiled, his eyes in the shadow of his cloak flashing a dark blue gaze, looked at Rawls, and took another sip of tea:
"What's the interesting finding? ”
"I don't know much about the Terrans, so I don't know if it's worth it if something feels weird. Rawls walked into the counter, leaned against the table with his back to the shop, shook his head, drooped his eyelids, and yawned again.
"What's weird?"
While dealing with the guests, Curry asked with interest.
"Those two people. Rawls moved his head and looked back at a girl in a gorgeous dress who was choosing exquisite trinkets and a young man in a gorgeous costume who was examining the materials of the Warcraft in two different directions in the store, and his golden eyes flashed with a hint of essence:
"It's obviously a brother and sister, why do you pretend to be a stranger?"
"Oh?" Curry looked at the two people Rawls said, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not decrease, and the fan in his hand shook it: "How do you know that they are brother and sister?"
It's easy to tell. Rawls turned his head and glanced at Curry as a matter of course: "Even we dragons have been famous for Tagus City for a long time, so I know its history very well. This is a super giant city that was established after the establishment of the Mercenary Alliance, and there were not many people at the foot of the St. Gurus Mountains in the past, but now the people living in Tagus City are from all over the Terrans, and the regional characteristics are very obvious, aren't you a good example. ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Rawls's mouth, and he glanced at Curry with slanted eyes, which made Curry uncomfortable for a while:
"The brownish-black emanation just over the shoulder, and the characteristic blue pupils, which are typical of the northern coastal peoples of the Guran Empire, there must be fewer people from such a distant place than from other places, at least now I have seen two except you. ”
Rawls turned his head again, his golden pupils looking at the two men:
"The two of them. ”
The smile on the corner of Ke Rui's mouth was slightly obvious, he put down the teacup and filled himself with a cup of tea: "Because of this, I can't say that they are brothers and sisters." ”
"How do you think I noticed them?"
Rawls turned around, directly lifted the teapot on the counter, poured a few sips into his mouth under Curry's slightly stiff gaze, and after drinking, the corners of his mouth twitched and shook violently:
"Before the girl came, the young man in the fancy costume was already in the store, and he was not in the current location, but in the area very close to the current girl's position. And after the girl entered the store, he immediately walked to the Warcraft material area on the other side of the store, as if he could avoid the girl. ”
Rawls looked at Curry, his eyes flashing slightly: "I don't think this is normal. ”
"So you're paying special attention to them?"
And I found a few interesting points. The corners of Rawls's mouth curled: "In addition to the color of their eyes and hair, their face contours are also very similar, their behavior is basically the same, and they deliberately avoid eye contact with each other, but they always look at each other intentionally or unintentionally, the most important point...... They all have the same logo on the chest of their clothes. ”
"The blue-gold flame symbol? Ke Rui shook his fan and took a sip of black tea: "That logo is the logo of the Senlong Chamber of Commerce among the four major chambers of commerce of the human race, every member of the Senlong Chamber of Commerce has that logo, and the headquarters of the Senlong Chamber of Commerce is in the Gulan Empire. But you are right in your judgment, they are indeed brothers and sisters, and it seems that what you learned from my father has not been completely forgotten, and it is to be appreciated. As for why you asked, the siblings pretend to be strangers to each other...... I think it's because they're half-siblings. ”
"Half-sibling?" Rawls scratched his head, a little puzzled, "What happened to half-sibling?"
In the Dragons, half-siblings are all too common. After all, sometimes dragons don't know how many female dragons their father has mated with, and how many half-siblings they have.
So, for Rawls, half-siblings are nothing at all.
"Half-brother......" The corners of Curry's mouth showed some inexplicable smiles. At this moment, he suddenly remembered a person - Karis.
If Rawls had heard of what had happened to Karis, he would have understood the meaning of Curry's smile at this time.
"In the Terrans, especially in the business families of the Terrans, the meaning of the words 'half-brother' is very complex, and it is difficult for me to explain it to you. When you have time, read more books, there is everything in the books, and it just so happens that I have all the books here. ”
"I know you're a traveling merchant. Rawls patted his head, then let out a boring howl, and said to himself a little tiredly: "Why should I be here smelling the rotten air of the Terrans, listening to the noisy noises of the Terrans, and watching the complicated and ridiculous interpersonal relationships of the Terrans suffer this sin......
"Because your nose is like a dog's ears, and your eyes are too long, and you don't see the place, and you don't suffer sin, and heaven will not tolerate it. Curry rolled his eyes and unceremoniously teased Rawls: "The gentleman of the dragon!"
"I don't want to say anything else, one last question, when will we be able to leave the city and go back to the same life of travel, " Rawls scratched the blonde hair on his head and looked at Curry sharply, finally asking the question he had always wanted to ask.
"The peak trading season has just begun, and it will be a month later. Don't forget, I'm a businessman, and everything I do is based on profit. Curry finished receiving today's seventy-first guest with a smile on his face, accepted the gold coin, stretched his waist and said.
"You're going to kill me......"
Rawls slapped his head, and the powerful dragon heart in his chest instantly pulled cold.
"Hey, handsome man!"
Just when the blonde boy was made to cry by the black cloak, the delicate voices of the two heavy together suddenly sounded in front of the counter, causing goosebumps for the two behind the counter at the same time.
"Huh?"
