Chapter 57 Only strength is the foundation and guarantee of everything

After completing the transaction, Zuo Si did not rush to summon the little djinn in the lamp.

Instead, he studied the hidden magic runes on the surface a little, and then stuffed them into the satchel he always carried with him.

After completing the journey to Candlekeep, I plan to use my vast knowledge to try to solve all the tricky riddles that the djinn may propose.

By the time he returned to the inn with his soldiers, the eastern sea had begun to turn a little white.

If nothing else, it won't be long before the sun comes out.

"Tossed all night and felt so tired. It seems that for my current body, long hours of physical labor and staying up late are still a little too reluctant. ”

Zuo Si stood in the doorway yawning and shook his head helplessly.

As the "little prince who stayed up late" in the university dormitory that year, he had the experience of "cultivating immortals" by sleeping no more than three hours a day for a week, which directly shocked several other roommates.

Of course, it is also possible that he is afraid of sudden death in the dormitory.

But now, I feel a little unbearable even staying up for a night or two without sleeping.

Just when Zuo Si was about to wake up the waiter who was napping on the counter and prepare a bucket of hot water for himself to take a bath, he suddenly found a dark figure coming out of the entrance of the cellar.

The soldier immediately stepped forward alertly, holding his shield in front of him.

But soon, the nervous expression on his face relaxed.

Because it was none other than Van Gates.

I saw the werewolf girl shrug her nose and sniff closer, and immediately her eyes widened in shock: "This is a mixture of killing, rancid smell and death!" Host...... Master, did you go to the sewers to find trouble with those rat people? ”

"Your nose is surprisingly sensitive."

Zuo Si raised his head and looked at the girl standing in front of him.

Although he had known that werewolves had the same amazing sense of smell as canines, he never expected that the other party could smell the scent emanating from his body from such a distance.

And still without transformation.

It's no wonder that in the book "Common Monsters in the Wild", werewolves are rated as the top few monsters that adventurers and travelers are most reluctant to encounter.

Because once they are targeted, it often means that they can't run away.

Victims tend to run out of stamina during long chases and end up being torn to shreds by werewolves.

"It's not my nose, it's that the smell of blood on your body is too strong. How many goddamn nezumi did you kill tonight? Ten, twenty? Fifty? ”

The werewolf girl stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, her eyes revealing intense hatred and bloodlust.

She won't forget who destroyed her clan and killed her parents and elders.

If he could, Van Gers would even like to be able to join in the hunt himself, ripping out the throats of the dastardly ratmen with his sharp teeth and gouging out their hearts with his claws.

"It's more than three hundred! The master killed more than 300 nezumi tonight, and also helped Epke capture their leader alive. The soldier offered to give an answer.

"What?!"

The werewolf girl couldn't believe what she was hearing.

She had seen with her own eyes how terrifying these mad ratmen were, and when they charged, they were as never-ending as a black tide.

No matter how many you kill, there will always be a steady stream of more nezumi behind you.

Otherwise, with the combat power of an adult werewolf, even if the opponent has a silver-plated weapon in his hand, how could he be killed completely.

"That's right! The enemies who ruined your family have died, fled, and even their leaders have become captives who have been locked up in torture rooms and tasted all kinds of torture.

So from now on, you don't have to think about revenge.

Enjoy a new life.

Don't dwell on hatred, it won't do you any good. ”

After saying this, Zuo Si stretched out without any image, and then walked upstairs.

Only the werewolf girl was left standing in place, dumbfounded.

The soldier walked straight to the counter and woke up the napping waiter, telling him to prepare a large bucket of bath water at once.

After taking a shower and having a simple breakfast, Zuo Si quickly lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

This night, he slept very soundly.

It wasn't until about two o'clock in the afternoon that I opened my eyes and woke up.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window and the endless noisy streets, Zuo Si gently rubbed his dry eyes, and asked without looking back, "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

"Nine hours." The soldier immediately handed over a glass of water.

As a loyal summon, he has become very aware of his master's habits through these days, such as the first thing he does when he wakes up from sleep is to drink a large glass of water, so he is ready early.

"Thank you!"

Zuo Si took it, and without saying a word, he raised his head and drank a fine drink.

Since he only had this humanoid minion on hand, he used it more often as a servant or guard than as a combat unit.

"The hosts. During your rest, the leader of Epke sent eight bills of exchange for the Temple of Fortune with a face value of 1,000 gold coins. ”

As he spoke, the soldier took out a few sheets of paper made of special paper from his pocket, which looked and patterned a bit like paper money in modern society.

On each of these bills of exchange, the profile face of Goddess Wojin is printed.

It is a symbol of the goddess's authority in the realm of trade and wealth, as well as a security mark.

Any priest of the Goddess of Fortune can use this mark to determine if the bill of exchange has been forged by some magical means.

The most important thing is that no matter where you are in the Faren Continent, as long as there is a temple of the goddess of wealth, you can exchange the corresponding amount of gold coins with this ticket without paying any additional fees.

"A money order for 8,000 gold coins? The leader of the Thieves' Guild was unexpectedly generous. Zuo Si picked up one of the bills of exchange and stood in the sunlight to look at it carefully.

He originally thought that the bald fat man could give almost 4,000 to 5,000 gold coins.

After all, this price is enough to hire a team of adventurers with a decent level and experience.

But who would have thought that he would give 8000 at one time, and it is still a convenient bill.

"I think he wants to continue to use the power of your master to win the upcoming Guild War in Port Carlin. Also, the Lady Aisha came to you at noon and wanted you to wake up and head to her mage's tower. ”

The soldier told the story of the day.

"Oh, the magic item merchant has the materials ready?"

As soon as he heard that the sorceress was coming to find him, Zuo Si immediately became sleepy, and the whole person instantly became energetic.

Compared to cooperating with the leader of the Thieves' Guild to "make extra money", he obviously values Elsa who owns the Mage Tower.

The reason is simple!

The amount of wool that the latter can pick up is not at all comparable to the former.

And compared with simple money, knowledge and power are what Zuo Si desires the most at the moment.

Because if you don't have strength, no matter how much wealth you have, you're just a fat pig in a pen.

Just look at Bernard.

As the heir to the Roldan Chamber of Commerce, one of Am's most successful young merchants, he has a staggering fortune in his hands, but he is almost lost to a pirate ship.

Similarly, Captain Hallette of the "Bloody Hand" is also a well-known figure at sea, and has plundered countless riches over the years.

But it's not about bleeding to pay the ransom.

Therefore, in the country of Faerun, which is full of dangers and intrigues, both power and wealth are all empty.

Only strength is the foundation and guarantee of everything!
