Chapter 10: Passionate Businessmen
Another half a month passed, because there was no need to go around to find an oasis, there was no worry about water shortage during the day, the schedule was adjusted, and the team traveled faster during the day.
Today is the last day to rest, and tomorrow you can arrive at Prayer Water City.
When the tent was erected, Kellysell's thirty men did not sleep, but called Moses over, and a group of people gathered around the tent and muttered around the campfire.
Early the next morning.
Moses approached Gongsun Murong and Nalasha, paused, and said, "Young Master, Miss, you two know the truth, just last night, I was approached by Kelisel and them, and I talked late by the campfire, talked a lot, and drank all the wine I brought this time, not a lot, and talked while drinking. ”
Gongsun Murong and Nalasha listened and did not answer, only Moses himself spoke incoherently.
"Well, I'll be honest, young master, young lady, kelisel, what they mean...... It's going to pray for water city, yes, pray for water city, you can know the road by listening to the name, there is little precipitation, it is surrounded by the Gobi, we will arrive tomorrow. ”
Moses continued, and Gongsun Murong and Nalasha were still listening.
Scratching his head, Moses sighed: "Actually, they were afraid that before they arrived at the place, you two would do something to them, and they didn't want to die, so ...... Kind young lady, think about me and George. ”
Nalasha blinked, raised her eyebrows, and asked Moses, "Can't we meet someone once and accept someone once when we show our strength, right?"
"Who makes you strong, clinging to the strong is a survival instinct. Of course, if you don't meet you in the desert, you show your strength in some big city and ask for servants, they won't necessarily go. But you have to understand that what they are worried about now is not losing their freedom, but whether they will be able to survive. ”
Moses explained vigorously.
"You go and tell them that Brother Murong and I will not kill them, I swear in the name of the God of War, oh no, the God of Magic. Nalasha raised her hand as if she were swearing.
"With you, we don't believe in the god of magic now, we didn't see your spell when we fought before, but the posture you put on at the moment when you were on guard against the scorching golden tiger is called the water Tianhua according to the words of the magician, and there is ice on it, although the range is smaller, but this is a desert, not the sea, you know...... Do I mean to be a faithful servant?"
Moses continued to persuade, but I don't know how many benefits Kelissell and others promised him.
Nalasha looked at her brother Murong and saw that Brother Murong had no intention of interfering, so she hesitated and said, "Do you know how much food they will eat? Do Brother Murong and I want to buy them weapons? Do we want to use crystal nuclei for them? Just like I used for you these days." ”
Nalasha has never forgotten the knowledge taught by the intelligent butler, 'When your force cannot compete with the whole civilization, you should not think of using force to solve all problems, it is a good choice to be able to exchange the currency of living resources and make many people obey your orders.' ’
Nalasha thinks that her own force is not enough, what is political ability? Only money is practical, so if you can save it, don't waste it.
Moses found himself making the mistake that discussing the problems of human nature with a little girl would be despised by the gods, but what about the older boy who was the master?
Moses looked at his young master.
Gongsun Murong's gaze was still flat, and he asked, "What is the place where you get your education in Qishui City?"
"Pray for water city?educate?" Moses really couldn't guess that the young master would ask a question that had nothing to do with the matter at hand, and the things that Kelisel was about to face were related to what the young master said?
A good servant should not logically correct his master, at least not until he sees that he has made a great mistake.
Moses, who tried his best to get himself into the role, replied respectfully: "There is an academy in Prayer Water City, the Qingteng War Qi Academy, in the vast sea of sand, the green vine will never wither, it is the loud sound of the war song, it is the light of the shining starry sky, ah, Qingteng, ...... in the rocks."
"Only teach battle qi?" Gongsun Murong did not let Moses continue to lyrical.
"Yes, my handsome, wise young master. Moses replied.
Gongsun Murong glanced at Nalasha and said, "Nalasha and I need to learn words, the calculation of the starry sky, the analysis of living things, the composition structure of the power of this world, the knowledge of people's livelihood, social ideology, battle qi, and the principles of magic, not just fighting, Qingteng War Qi Academy ......"
"Don't teach, young master, you have to know that this is a desert, and survival is the most important thing. Of course, you and Mademoiselle should not waste precious time learning how to kill, you and Mademoiselle should enjoy the life of a nobleman, yes, nobleman, speaking of which you two really have the temperament of an aristocracy, which confuses your servant to me. ”
Moses felt that his previous life was a failure, and as an adventurer, he always wanted to learn how to kill, but he could only avoid other adventurers, while the powerful young master and young lady pursued other things.
The young lady and the young master really look like aristocrats, so they give others a strong contrast in the desert, thinking that they will be killed, oh my God, how many people are praying for them after hearing the news of their water sale?
"Nalasha don't go to the Qingivy War Qi Academy, Narasha hates selling water in the desert, and Narasha wants to build a big manor with Brother Murong. Nalasha, who longed for Prayer Water City, began to be disappointed.
Gongsun Murong looked at Moses, Moses lowered his head slightly and thought about it, and said: "Qishui City is a small city in the remote area of the Duchy of Gers, and the place where you and the young lady want to receive education is only to go to the royal city of the principality, Celeste, it is said that it is six thousand six hundred and sixty-six kilometers away from Qishui City, which may be a good number to remember, but there is really a distance of more than six thousand kilometers, I am talking about the straight-line distance." ”
Gongsun Murong bowed slightly: "Where are the families of Kelisel and the other adventurers?"
"In Prayer Water City, as you and Miss can see, the strength of the adventurers who explore the ruins is not strong, even the scorching golden tiger cannot make all humans tremble, so only the surrounding cities have adventurers coming, it is said that in the first year of the appearance of the ruins, someone in the imperial city of the empire came once and thought it was worthless, so the powerful people gave up. ”
"How can it be worthless, how can it be worthless?" Nalasha was angry, although she looked so cute when she was angry, but she could see her anger, and there was already ice condensing around her.
"Because the truth is hidden. Gongsun Murong rubbed Nalasha's head and said.
When his rescue pod falls, various shielding systems are automatically activated to protect the descendants of the Gongsun family.
"It has to be hidden. Nalasha chimed in, and the ice turned into water, moistening the earth beneath her feet.
"Yes, the faithful servant Moses absolutely approves of what the young lady and the young master say. Moses didn't want to anger Narasha who used the water sky, even if he didn't know what Miss Naraza was angry about.
"Then Moses and Kelisel, would they like to take their families with us to the city of Celeste?" Gongsun Murong changed the subject.
Moses nodded again and again: "That's right, young master, except for Kelisel, the families of other adventurers are not living well, imagine how dangerous it is in the desert, their strength is not enough for them to be like you and Miss, face the scorching golden tiger without flinching, if there are no ruins appearing, every copper plate they earn is stained with blood, sand beasts, enemies, and their own." ”
Nalasha pursed her lips: "With the relics, what is wrapped on the copper plate is the soul that belongs to the living, Moses, do you know the Tao? Brother Murong and I sell water, how many people want to bully us." ”
"Oh, Miss Narasha, I can guess that they really deserve to die, I believe they were punished by the god of war in the end, and a heart that always wants to bully the weak is evil. ”
"Moses, you have spoken to my heart, and I have decided to give you a nucleus alone. ”
"The gods are praising your generosity, my master, Miss Narasha. ”
"Go to Prayer Water City first, and be willing to follow the people who went to the royal city of Celeste to deal with the affairs of the family, and leave by yourself if you don't want to. Gongsun Murong commanded, and gave Moses a crystal nucleus.
The glad Moses went to Kelisel and them, shouting all kinds of God's blessings.
On September 15, 15940, the adventurers, who no longer worried about their lives, escorted the team to Qishui City.
There were no guards at the gates of the city who collected a fee to enter the city, perhaps because the lord of the city had considered that those who had no money in the desert environment would die, and the adventurers might not carry money with them.
Moses explained that, and sure enough, the lord of the city even reduced the tax on the trade of ordinary goods, and only increased the tax on luxury goods.
In place of the guards were the merchants of the city, and as soon as the procession approached, the merchants frantically swarmed like dust blown up by the twelve-level wind.
Naturally, adventurers don't negotiate prices with merchants at the gates, unless they're new to the city.
In the same way, when a merchant sees an adventurer he knows, he does not expect anyone to sell it immediately, but only warmly greets him and invites him to dinner or something.
Of course, the merchant will also observe the goods, which are bulky or have a special smell, and will personally consult with them if they find something valuable.
The eyes of the two merchants stopped on Narasha's arms, to be precise, on what was hidden by the cloth of the bosom, revealing a thoughtful look.
"Brother Murong, I saw greed in the eyes of those two people, and I hate being targeted. "Narasha is sensitive.
"I hate it too, but it's a part of life, without it, life is no longer colorful, and those who have not been hungry know the happiness of being fed? Gongsun Murong comforted Nalasha, this was not what he said, it was an intelligent housekeeper.
Narasha pursed her lips and glared at the two merchants.
"Are you part of the team, beautiful young lady?" said a merchant who finally stepped forward, his eyes smiling almost away.
"Stand back. Kelisel pointed the tip of his knife within a centimeter of the merchant's chest.
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm just ......"
"Stand back!" Kelly Searle's pupils began to contract, and two words were squeezed out between his teeth.
"Okay, okay, calm down, believe me, I don't mean anything else. The merchant raised his hands and carefully moved back, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the party.
The other merchants dodged away.
Because all the adventurers are steaming at the moment, it is obvious that the identity of the little girl in that team is not ordinary.
