91 Think beautifully
Although the black rat potato is not a treasure, it is clear that this kind of wild thing deep underground is not so easy to dig.
The people in the slums were not farmers who farmed the land, so they found more than a hundred of them and exchanged all of Ivy's money.
Well, it's as if Ivy is so big, but in fact, she only has those change in her pocket, and she can't do much, one silver coin is enough for three people to have a day's food, and if you count the change, you can eat a full meal for one hundred and eighty people.
"You don't have to do this at all, you go out to the market and you can buy this unpopular ingredient ten times cheaper. Noin said distressedly.
"It doesn't matter, a little money, how can it be compared with the meaning of improving strength!" "Ivy doesn't have the habit of being careful about budgeting, she is not interested in useless things at all, but when she encounters something she likes, she doesn't consider the cost-effective type at all.
Of course, at present, with Ivy's little bit of a loser, the family wealth accumulated by moving bricks is not visible, and the cost of a few meals of wine and meals is no different from the expenses of a real nobleman and a beggar.
Even her family thought that this child was a good girl who was sensible since she was a child, and she didn't want food, cakes, or clothes and jewelry.
When she got home, Ivy hid in her room by herself, took out a sack of thick, black, twisted, pimpled sticks, and began to eat them
The next day, Ivy didn't go out for a day.
Nuo Yin didn't take the liberty to disturb Ivy, as a student of Burning Sun Academy, Nuo Yin knew that if there were signs of a breakthrough in the fighting spirit, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it must not be interrupted.
On the third day, the agreed departure date had arrived, and Noin waited for Ivy with little hope.
Anyway, the departure date is fine, whatever, she just pesters Ivy as usual.
On the fifth day, Noin finally couldn't help it, and Ivy's family also felt strange, but when they opened the door, they found a note that read: "Don't look for me when I go out to play by myself".
"I've been tricked. Nuo Yin smiled helplessly: "It seems that she really hates being restrained, this wayward young lady"
No, even if you follow in Ivy's footsteps, you'll be dumped out of 10 percent.
Then, I will be more diligent in implementing the maid's way, and the next time we meet, I will definitely provide a service that satisfies Miss Ivy so much that it is hard to refuse!
So, go back to two days ago, the East Side Post Station at Osford.
Dingu was a goblin merchant who traveled between the Graeme Empire and Inphilia for many years, but could only spend less than half a day at each inn.
In particular, Oosford, the world-famous capital of scholars, has passed by more than a dozen times without a chance to enjoy the scenery, and occasionally has free time to wander around the neighborhood.
It's all because the freight work is too busy!
Because the Hellenian Empire has Osford, a place where a large number of intelligent people are concentrated, new gadgets are developed every year.
In particular, the various civilian magic guides produced by the Odin Research Institute are the favorites of the wealthy, and they are simply gold coins falling from the sky.
It's a pity that these academic madmen who only know about non-stop research and development have launched new and improved models without waiting for a new product to make enough profits.
After all, civil magic guides also need magicians to make zuò and magic crystals to provide energy, no matter how "civilian" they are, they will not be popularized in large quantities.
But in Dingu's native Graeme Empire, nearly a quarter of the population is made up of goblins and dwarves, both of whom have a natural penchant for mechanics and materials, dwarves who work tirelessly to mine, prospect, and smelt metals, and goblins who have a penchant for making precision instruments.
Often, Osford's ideas, through the skillful hands of goblin craftsmen, can be mass-produced and sold in large quantities to civilians for high profits. ...,
Inphilia is located in the south of the continent, and Graeme is close to the east, and many transportation routes pass through the central plain of Haken, and the road is not smooth.
There is no independent government in the Haken Plain, but it is controlled by the "Graesin Trade Alliance", a giant consortium formed by several large chambers of commerce, where a large number of mercenary groups and free warriors gather, claiming that "interest and freedom are the only melody of the Haken Plain".
Of course, everyone understands that the so-called "interests and freedom" are all word games, and the real meaning is: as long as you have strength, whether it is money or force, people with hard fists can be lawless.
Outside the territory of the Inphyrian Empire, the possibility of encountering robbers is greatly increased, so at least 20 mercenaries must be hired at a time to protect the precious cargo.
You must know that most of these goods are delicate samples, and damage to one piece will cause irreparable losses!
In terms of money, the guys at the Odin Institute don't seem to care about the price, they only care about the repercussions of the people who make something, and their enthusiasm for collecting information is much higher than when they collect money.
The problem is that in terms of time, the Odin Institute launches new products every year and improves on the old models, which is a real headache.
However, these samples of civilian magic guides with built-in magic circuits could not be loaded with cheaper volumetric compression storage props, and real space magic storage props were the rarest luxury, so Ding Gu could only carefully pack the treasures he received and transport them in a carriage.
This year, due to the appearance of several novelties in the Finnish market, the samples purchased were a bit overcrowded, and the budget was insufficient.
"After all, I've been on the road for so long, and I'm familiar with all the forces, so it's okay to relax once in a while. ”
With this in mind, Dingu posted an escort mission in the mercenary guild with half the usual commission.
However, at this time, it was just in time for Osford to hold the six-pointed star festival, and the mercenaries were full of tasks, and Dinggu's mission was long, dangerous, and low-paying, so the ghosts would take it!
"It's already the deadline, if you don't come to take the task, you can only go on your own way!" Ding Gu looked at the slightly deserted post station with a sad face, he just wanted to find another caravan to partner with, but it was too late.
However, on the Road of the Endless Spirits, just when Ding Gu was about to despair, a young girl wearing a hood and a robe found him with a task list: "Well, it should be here to find Mr. Ding Gu at the East Post Station before the sixteenth day of the frost moon, right?"
As a goblin, Dingu was only as tall as a girl's chest, and he could see the girl's moving curves hidden beneath the wide robe.
However, he has little interest in humans, and it is the right way to take care of the chores and get on the road.
"That's right, it's me!Are you here to take over the escort mission?," Dingu said competently, not at all uncomfortable because of the difference in height.
"It's just me. The girl scratched her head and said.
Because of the height gap, the girl has to lower her head to speak, coupled with her habitual action of scratching her head, she looks quite unconfident.
"What? I'm tasked with a commission for 10 people!" Ding Gu jumped up in a hurry: "I don't have time to play mercenary games with children!"
"It's okay, I'm a C-class mercenary. The girl took out the mercenary badge.
"Oh, C-class?"
Ding Gu was stunned.
C-level mercenaries are already people who can take charge on their own, and their combat power will not be worse than twenty or thirty ordinary strong mercenaries.
"Well, Alice Weier, is the profession a magician, and the certification mark of Freya Academy? This C-level mercenary is still a magic profession, and the commission is going to be 50 of the most ordinary E-class mercenaries!"
Confirming that the mercenary badge was correct, Ding Gu pinched his chin and calculated: "The magic profession doesn't seem to be suitable for long-distance escort tasks, but if it is the famous Freya School of Magic, it is worth looking forward to"...,
"It's a pity that you're too young, and you're still a girl!, wouldn't that make the robbers a good target for us?" thought Dingu cautiously.
The goblin merchant would rather hire a few more powerful people to scare off the robbers before they even think about them, rather than be delayed by even the weakest petty thieves.
After all, the sooner Dinggu's samples are shipped to Graeme, the sooner they can be turned into money, and as for some mercenaries who like to play pigs and eat tigers, it has nothing to do with his employer, everything that delays time is his enemy!
Thinking of it, even if it was escorted by a ninth-level archmage, it would be better to have no one to rob it at all.
"Oh, I just like wearing hooded clothes and don't hide anything. And gender and age don't determine strength, right?"
"So, could you please show you a little bit of your strength?" Dingu said with the caution expected of a businessman.
"Yes, but what kind of Cheng dù do I have to do to show my strength? If I use all of my magic power all at once, I will be in trouble when I encounter real danger, and by the way, at that time, I will definitely prioritize saving my own life. ”
Ivy said confidently, "Now if you go back to the mercenary guild, you can check the mission completion record from my badge record, so you can know my qualifications, right?"
"Well, I don't have to, I'll just hire you. Seeing that it was almost noon, and that he would not be able to reach the next resting place before night without setting out, Dingu accepted the young mage as his escort mercenary.
Dingu's pack beast is a six-legged reptilian lizard, good at long walks, and adapts to both desert and mountain terrain, with a long back that can sit three or four people, and is a very good traffic beast.
The man in charge of driving the pack beast was a man in his fifties who looked honest.
Because Dingu is a goblin, his body is less than half the size of ordinary humans, so he can still sit on the six-legged reptile lizard with the man who is driving the car.
But Ivy didn't sit on the pack beast, but climbed to the top of the truck on her own initiative.
"I just stay here and see farther. ”
"Oh, okay. Ding Gu thought to himself, although this mercenary is a very young girl, but it doesn't seem to be very squeamish, maybe he is really powerful? I hope that sitting on the top of the goods piled up ten meters high, Ivy is in the blind spot of the employer's sight, and finally lies on it without any image: "Finally survived! That black rat potato is not a cheat that can produce fighting spirit after eating it, but because it is too difficult to digest, it stimulates the earth-based fighting energy hidden in the spleen and stomach to resist! Sure enough, the treatment that can be upgraded by just eating something doesn't belong to me!"
