Chapter 145: You're a Smart Man
Everyone in the hotel looked at Will because of the man's words, and Will angrily came to the fat boss sitting in front of the bar.
"Welcome, Mr. Will, I didn't expect you to visit my tavern again today, would you like a glass of wheat wine first?"
The fat boss's eyes flashed with a playful light, but there was a kind smile on his face:
"I'm sorry, I forgot, but Mr. Will is a man with a magical gourmet table, how could he possibly look at what I have here."
"Damn bastard, don't you pretend!" Young Will roared angrily, "You shameless thief, you are the one who stole my gourmet table!" ā
"Don't frame Will!" The innkeeper's eyes flashed with cruelty:
"I'll admit I'm envious that you can have that gourmet table, but everyone saw it at the beginning, and you took the table with you when you left the next day, and you want to wronged me, no way!"
"Since I left you, my table has never been able to change the food, you must have replaced it!" Young Will argued.
"It's funny Will, who knows if you hid the table yourself so that you could frame me so that you could blackmail money from me, I tell you, I'm not a bully!"
The innkeeper said with an angry look.
"You're slandering me!" Will is furious and is about to cross the bar to hit the innkeeper.
But the next moment, Will was restrained by two of the innkeeper's men.
"Let go of me, you thieves! Bandit! Swindler! I'm going to the sheriff to sue you!" Will struggled, but couldn't break free from his boss's men.
"You're still worried about yourself!" The innkeeper said very leisurely: "You are making trouble with me, even if the sheriff comes, you are the one who should be disposed of, now, throw him out of me!" ā
Following the innkeeper's orders, Will was thrown outside the inn door.
He still wanted to rush in, but was stopped by the innkeeper's men and beaten hard, and then left the door of the hotel helplessly.
Looking at Will who was leaving, and then at the new mission, Locke quietly left the tavern, followed Will, and when he got to a place where no one was, he stopped him: "Hey, Will." ā
"Who are you?"
"My name is Locke." Locke asked, "I just heard in the inn that you have a small table that can make good food?" ā
"I did have a table like this." Will said through gritted teeth:
"But because I was too vain and careless, I was stolen by that damned robber, and the innkeeper, I swear, will teach him a lesson and take back my little table!"
"But you can't help him, can you?" Locke said.
Opening his mouth, Will finally nodded with an ugly face: "Yes, that innkeeper has several subordinates, and I am no match for them at all." ā
"Actually, I'm curious about your story, can you tell me about it?" Locke asked.
"It all started when I was kicked out by my father......"
Will roughly recounts it, exactly as in the fairy tale of the table, the golden donkey, and the stick.
Will's tailor father heard from a goat and drove him out of the house, and he later learned from a master carpenter, and eventually received a table from the master carpenter that could automatically conjure up delicious food.
Hearing this, Locke suddenly noticed something: "Can your father understand the words of the goat?" ā
"It's a capability that everyone in our family has." "We can understand the animals," Will said. ā
"So this ability is innate?"
"That's right."
Hearing this, Locke was a little disappointed, he originally guessed if Will's father had any special magic items or something, since it was innate, it should be the ability to pass on the bloodline.
There are all kinds of magical creatures in the fairy tale world, and naturally there are people who have inherited magical bloodlines.
This ability to talk to animals was of little value to Locke, as Locke could also understand animals as long as he used magic.
Thinking of this, he turned the subject back to the gourmet table: "Let's talk about your gourmet table." ā
"The gourmet table was accidentally acquired by my teacher, it has a special magical power, as long as you chant a spell and imagine the food in your heart, it can make beautiful food."
"My teacher gave me a gourmet table at the end of my apprenticeship and told me that it can be used three times a day and that with it, I can eat delicious food every day," Will said. ā
"It's really an amazing thing, and I'm interested in it."
Locke guessed in his heart that this gourmet table should be a magical alchemy item, although the function is not too good, but it is also quite practical.
"You want a gourmet table too?" Will said warily.
"Of course, I can help you get the table back from the innkeeper." Locke said, "But then, I want to buy it from you." ā
There are three items in this fairy tale, none of which are of high value in Locke's opinion, except for the gourmet table, the golden donkey can spit out gold coins, but Locke is not short of gold.
Finally, there is the stick that can automatically beat people, and it is with this stick that Will's brother is able to reclaim the gourmet table and the golden donkey from the innkeeper.
Locke himself can make similar magic items, the only thing that is more magical is the gourmet table, at least Locke can't make such magic items.
So Locke wanted to take the gourmet table and study it.
In fact, if it weren't for the requirements of the mission, let him help Will kill the innkeeper and regain the gourmet table, Rock would have snatched it directly from the innkeeper, and there would be no need to talk to Will so much.
"You want to buy a gourmet table, no, it's important to me." And Will listened to Locke's words, but shook his head and refused directly.
"Don't be in a hurry, I won't ask for your things for nothing, it's better to listen to my offer first." Locke smiled and said, "How about a thousand gold coins?" ā
"!? 1,000 Gold Coins" Will was taken aback.
"I'm a traveler who loves to travel and often have to sleep out in the wilderness, and the gourmet table allows me to taste delicious food in the wild."
Locke said slowly: "And you have such a large amount of money, you can own your own estate, and you can have a lot of income every year, and with this money, you don't have to worry about not having delicious food at all."
It's not just delicious food, but with money, you can also make yourself rich, marry a beautiful wife, and have a beautiful family, which is a very reasonable deal. ā
"IāI do." Faced with such a choice, Will quickly made a decision: "I am willing to agree to your terms, as long as you help me reclaim the gourmet table, I am willing to sell it to you." ā
"You're a smart man, Will." Locke said with a smile.
