Chapter XXXVIII
.“ Gods?between the fingers?" Riel was a little confused by the way it looked at it, "What is this?"
"It may not be easy to explain it in words, so I might as well show it to you......" said the elder Trisus, and reached for the doorframe, muttering something out of his mouth, and then said to Allen, "Please come in with me." ”
With that, he stepped through the door and disappeared.
Several people glanced at each other and had to follow.
"It's just outside of Montroda. As soon as they opened their eyes, they heard the elder Triss speak.
"Montroda?" several people were taken aback.
There were snowflakes in the sky, and they were standing at a junction. Not far away, this magnificent city was strange, they had never seen it before.
But the signposts around them do make it clear – two kilometres from Monteroda.
"How is this possible!" exclaimed Ariel, excitedly, "Monteroda is in ...... It's the southwest here!"
"No, no, no, it's not here anymore. "Montroda is indeed in the south-west of the Usin Mountains, five hundred and forty kilometers away...... But here, it's two kilometers outside of Montroda. ”
"Nonsense! What are you kidding!" "Riel was completely unsettled at all, and shouted again, "This shouldn't be ......"
"Is it supposed to be the little plain outside the cave?" said Elder Trisus as he saw through his thoughts and smiled, "I'm sorry, it's not. ”
"This must not be true! What a trick!" said Riel, "I'm so boiling! I can't even move that far at once!"
But when he smashed the road sign with his hand, he found that there was pain and coldness coming from the back of his hand, which made him stunned......
It's all true......
"That's why it's called 'God's Fingers,'......" said the elder Trisus, "and though you don't want to admit it, the truth is that it helped us cross five hundred and forty kilometers in an instant. ”
Now Riel is completely silent......
Alan also carefully observed the surroundings for a while, and then confirmed that this was indeed not a hallucination...... The snowflakes that fall in the palm of your hand, the wide road, and the magnificent city are all real......
He finally understood what Trisus's inexplicable words meant before...... It's really a shortcut, an unbeatable shortcut.
"Alright, that's all for the initial introduction, I don't like to waste time. After a moment, the elder Trisus said, "It's time to go back." ”
With that, he turned around and burrowed into this strange crack again.
"Have you already seen the power of the gods?"
"It's not very precise, but it saves you a lot of time and effort, right?"
As soon as the men returned to their place, the other two Trisers said.
Since these two are almost identical, they can't tell which is the older brother and which is the younger brother.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
"Hmm. Alan nodded, "Since it can take us to Montroda, then it shouldn't be a problem to go to Glenn Crown." ”
"Of course not!," said one of Trisus, "as you can see, there is nothing that the gods can't do!"
"Looks like you're quite happy with this god, then?" said the other, "Then let's talk about the price!"
"Price?" Alan was a little surprised, he didn't expect to hear the word.
"Sir, you should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The elder Trisus said, "The gods deserve a little reward for making it easy for you." And, of course, us. ”
"Hmm......" Alan thought for a moment, thinking that his words made sense, and nodded, "You're right...... And how much do you want to be paid?"
"Not much, not much!" said one of Trithus, "just a little gold, a little!"
"That's right, that's right!" the other chimed in, "Two hundred, two hundred each!"
"Two hundred!?" Alan was really taken aback by the number.
"Or two hundred each!?" Rare's eyes widened, "There are five of us, two hundred gold coins each...... You're robbing, aren't you?"
The gentleman was serious. Elder Trisus didn't seem to want to make any concessions, "If you calculate how much time these two hundred gold coins can save you and save you how much you have to endure on the road, you may think that the price is fair." ”
"Justice!?" Ariel shouted again, "This thousand gold coins will not only get us to Glenn Krone, but even enough to sustain us to our final destination!"
"Maybe you're right, it does save us a lot of precious time...... Allen said after a moment, "but sadly, we don't have that much on our hands...... We have further places to go than Glenn Krone, and the budget is running out of money. ”
"And how many do you have?" asked one of Trithus, "if it's not too much, we're not unacceptable." ”
"I haven't counted it carefully, but it's certainly not enough to pay for more than three people's ......," Allen said, "and even ...... Uh, less ......"
"Oh, that's a shame. The other said, "This is the rule set by our ancestors." He said that too few offerings would make the gods feel disrespectful, and that if he got angry, he might send you to some inexplicable place. ”
"The gods are angry?" Riel looked disdainful, "Don't talk nonsense here, it's clear that you guys want money!"
As soon as Riel finished speaking, the three gnomes glared at him at the same time and stopped talking.
After a long time, the elder Trisus spoke again: "Then how about it......"
"What?"
"Take out all your valuables and let us choose one of them, so that you will be paid. Elder Trisus glanced at their pockets and said, "Of course, if we think it's worth that much money." ”
"Valuables......" Alan was a little stunned when he heard this. He really couldn't think of anything on him that could be considered valuable.
However, compared to the previous two hundred gold coins per person, this price seems to be much smaller, and if the gnomes don't have a fancy for what they have to keep, then it may be a good thing.
So with this kind of luck mentality, several of them glanced at each other, and then they all took out the luggage in their pockets.
"Hmm...... It doesn't seem to be very satisfactory......" After rummaging for a long time and finding that most of the things were just clothes, the elder Triss shook his head and said.
"Everything we can give is here. "The rest is indispensable." ”
"If that's the case, there's no way around it...... We can't break the rules set by our ancestors. "Then I have to ask you to ......."
But before he could finish his sentence, his gaze suddenly froze when he accidentally caught a glimpse of something set aside......
I saw him squint his eyes and look at it for a long time, and after looking at it several times, he finally asked, "What is that?"
