395 Sentimental Geometry
The darkness is receding and the campfire is burning.
The bored Illo plucked the red charcoal with a branch, but he couldn't stop for a moment.
"Alright, stop," Alex, a little distraught, stopped him, "it pulls the wound, don't you know?"
"I guess you have a little brother?" Illo suddenly turned his head to the side and asked a question that didn't matter.
"How do you know?" Alex was startled, thinking he had revealed his relationship with Dalgnan.
"You don't have a son or a younger brother," Illo said with a smile, "but judging by your age, you don't look like you've already had children." β
"Maybe I'm older than you. Alex breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw that he was leaning on the old and selling the old, he immediately retorted unconvinced. Due to the bloodline in her body, her lifespan is nearly twice as long as that of ordinary humans, and her actual age is much older than her appearance.
"Hey, do you want to compare?" Illo suddenly became interested, he was not good at anything else, but compared to age, he had not lost yet.
"Why should I sue you?" Alex turned her head, not knowing her exact age, even if she was as intimate as Dalgnan.
"You don't need to say it," Illo confidently held out five fingers and said, "If you're bigger than that, you'll win." β
"Fifty years old?" Alex was stunned, of course she knew that half-elf hybrids also had a longer lifespan, but the guy on the other side looked like an old-timer who had experienced fifty years of wind and frost.
"Haha, you're ashamed, aren't you?" Illo smirked and boasted, "Like the King of the Fire Demons, I can talk and laugh with him." You're still too young. β
"Lord of the Fire Demons?" Alex thought of the handsome young man from last night, and couldn't help but worry a little about Dalgnan, there was such a thing in the Herseus Valley, and he didn't want to show any of his feet.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at the half-elf, the "night". It's still on it.
At this moment, in the distant farmhouse, a few rooster crows could be heard in the distance.
Illo frowned slightly, it was farming season, and farmers often went out to work before dawn. It would be a shame for them to see themselves as wolves.
"Alright," he said, putting away his smile and putting down the branch in his hand, "it's almost dawn." It's time for me to go back, too. β
"But......" Alex was a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to ask him if he should get "Night" back. After this toss, the current relationship between the two is certainly not an enemy, but they are not familiar with Cheng DΓΉ who is taking what he wants.
"Oh......" Catching a glimpse of her expression, Illo asked suddenly, "You want that broken blade back, do you?"
"Yes. Alex looked at him expectantly and nodded.
"It's useless for me to hold it. At most, I'll peel the fruit and give you back what it was supposed to be......" Illo sat down back with a smile. An expression that can talk slowly.
This guy is a good guy, Alex was overjoyed, but ignored the word "original" in the half-elf words.
"Butβ" Illo's tone took a sharp turn, feigning annoyance, "but this is the cutting blade. It's an important piece of evidence in an assassination case, and if I rush to hand it over to you, it's hard to explain it when I go back. β
"This ...... What to do?" Alex is in the killer business, taking money for his life, straight to the point. She didn't know. In another profession called "liars", there is a craft called "sitting on the ground and starting the price".
"Miss Alex, you have feelings for this severed blade," Seeing that the other party was hooked, Illo hurriedly said, "There is a way that feelings are priceless, why should you pay something outside your body for this?"
"You...... Want money?" Alex was also a perceptive person, slowly recalling his taste and asking tentatively.
"I'm not a money-grubber," Illo immediately shook his head in denial, with a stern expression, "I don't want money, but an account, to the Herseus Valley, and to Allegri...... If I give it to you casually, I am not only irresponsible to the valley, but also irresponsible to you, Miss......"
"How much do you want, make a price. Alex thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out why it was responsible for her. But she didn't bother to argue about anything, and bluntly interrupted the half-elf's tirade.
I knew she was a rich man. Seeing Alex's cheerful posture, Illo was secretly happy in his heart, and he had keenly seen this from the details of the other party's medication before. Since that time, there has always been yellow gold shining in front of the eyes of the half-elf ranger.
"What about this......" The other party asked him to bid casually, but Illo hesitated. In his opinion, that broken thing is not worth a few dollars, and it is the feelings of the other party that can live in strange goods. But how many gold coins can be exchanged for feelings, the half-elf is not sure for a while.
"How about three hundred gold coins?" Before he could think about it, Alex next to him spoke again. She remembered that someone said that the most appropriate way to deal with this kind of guy who wants to make money is to directly give a chicken rib number, so that the other party is a little greedy, but there is no way to open his mouth.
"Don't think too cheap about your feelings, miss. Illo shook his head again and again, and criticized in a serious voice.
"Then you can keep it and peel the fruit. Alex snorted and turned his head away, looking indifferent. The Torm Federation is a gathering place for all religions, and she also has a few friends who are engaged in related industries. I didn't expect it just now, but now once I take precautions, the self-taught half-elf ranger is not his opponent at all.
Hey?
Illo was stunned for a moment, and secretly said something bad in his heart. His original bottom line, but a whole thousand gold coins, it seems that feelings are really not very valuable. However, out of professional habits, he still bargained,
"Five hundred gold coins. β
"Can't be less?" Alex asked lightly, glancing at him.
"What is this......" Illo hesitated for a long time, but decided to risk the deal breaking up and take a chance, "Not a single one." β
"So...... Deal," Alex suddenly sneered at his worried gaze, "Don't go back." β
Illo was so remorseful that his bowels turned blue.
I thought it was a fat sheep to be slaughtered, but it turned out to be a hidden master. It seems that this broken blade still has a mystery inside, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. And the price that the other party is willing to pay for it must be more than five hundred gold coins.
"Take it. Alex held out his hand and smiled. You can't hold your breath so much, and you still want to fight me?
Illo reached into his arms, and after a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He also reached forward, his hands empty, and looked at each other with a smile.
"What are you looking at?" Alex frowned.
"Where's the money, miss? Illo found the slightest opportunity to turn defeat into victory and immediately seized it.
"This ......" Alex is rich enough to rival the country, and it is impossible to carry many gold coins on him. To the killer, that thing is a burden that affects the action.
"Then ...... First of all?" Seeing her embarrassed expression, Illo seemed to have a hint of kindness.
"Can you owe?" Alex seemed incredulous. The image of Illo in her heart was gradually changing, but the bargaining just now made it collapse quickly.
"Of course," Illo nodded kindly, "if you have pen and paper on you and can write an IOU, you can do it." β
I don't care about you.
Alex cursed to himself, he was entertaining himself. She is covered in **, how can there be such a thing as a pen and paper.
"No? Illo shook his head regretfully, and his mind raced to get a little more back. He observed Alex's expression and said,
"Or do you go and raise money first, and then take the gold coins and go to the Herseus Valley to redeem them?"
"That'...... Okay," Alex nodded helplessly, only hating that the energy in his body had not yet recovered, "I will do my best." β
"Don't be too fast, just take your time," Illo counted for a moment, and smiled slyly, "but the price, it will definitely rise with time......
"What do you mean?" Alex had a foreboding feeling.
"In one day, double it," Illo said, pressing a badge into her hand and admonishing her, "this is my token, and when the time comes, you can just keep quiet and just report my name......
The violet coat of arms, which is only three in the entire Herseus Valley, is a token of the most core member.
Two of them actually came into the hands of Dalgnan and Alex respectively.
Alex stood by the waterhole in a bit of a daze, glanced at the badge in his palm, and then at the back of the half-elf fading away. She didn't know which memory she had in her impression was the real Illo.
Is it the prodigal who flirts with him, or the honest man who sits idly by, the guy who drags himself ashore and adds fuel to the fire, or the greedy man who bargains for baht?
After a long time, she shook her head and freshened up a little in the pool. Then he stepped on the bonfire and slowly left this memorable muddy field.
In the opposite direction, Illo limped forward, not paying attention to Alex at all.
He was struggling to figure out where he was going.
This wolf bèi with a blue nose and swollen face is naturally not suitable to go to Anfen to protect what Ados, otherwise it will not make people laugh off their big teeth.
But if you go back to the Herseus Valley like this, it seems that there is something inappropriate, and it is too embarrassing for you to be beaten like this by a woman as a ranger.
Thinking about it, thinking about it, Illo saw the mountains not far away, and slowly made up his mind in his heart.
Looks like we're going to be bothering the ogre brothers for a few more days. (To be continued!)
