The situation is critical! The weekly clicks and recommendations of this book have lagged behind that of "The Ancestral Garden of the Dragon Man"! I am so anxious that I can't sleep at night. Wanwang book friends are grateful for reaching out to help this book tide over the difficulties!

The 13-year-old boy was both happy and a little shy to be complimented, and the happy commoners did not think there was anything wrong with the merchant's behavior or any misdemeanor - the sophisticated young merchant was just amusing a simple child, and adults would do it more or less, and it was normal for a merchant who was a few years older than the boy to do so.

The pleasant and lively atmosphere lightly reversed the atmosphere of communication, and the passive stance of the businessman also produced a subtle shift.

"My knight, the future hero, what do you have to summon the little one?"

With the superb acting skills and soft figure of the attribute of "the big brother next door with a sense of humor", the opposing wall built by Locke was shattered, and the merchant continued to show his acting skills quietly, and the tentative balloon floated out with the words.

Recalling his original purpose with pleasure, Locke straightened his posture again, and continued his questioning with a dry cough:

"Merchant, where did you come from?"

The interrogation has not changed, and the suspicion is also zài. But Locke's tone was no longer filled with obvious sharpness.

The slightest change would not be spared, and the merchant replied in a friendly and respectful tone:

"The little one is from the village of Shafar in the south, and they come here to sell some cotton cloth and glass products. ”

Cotton and glassware?

Locke looked at the carriage platform with a suspicious expression, but it didn't seem to be anything made of glass other than the cotton cloth that could be matched......

A flash of inspiration appeared in front of him, and a mixture of sudden realization and surprise rushed out of Locke's mouth.

"Those rings, necklaces, hairpins are all set with glass?"

The boy who had picked up a ring and rummaged through it in his hand, and had only seen a few real gems let out an unbelievable exclamation, and this imprudent act made the women who had gathered at some point let out a wicked snicker.

Ignoring the vengeful teasing glances, Locke repeatedly looked at the blue crystal at the top of the ring, and it was still difficult to distinguish between it and the reddish-green translucent substance full of bubbles.

"How, exact......ly? Isn't it really a gem?"

"Oops...... You're so embarrassed. This is an important trade secret, and if you say it casually, you won't be able to do business in the future. But the smaller ones can assure you that these things, which sell up to two livres, are indeed inlaid with glass. ”

Speaking of which, Locke basically relieved some of his doubts.

If the real gemstone jewelry is in livres and the price prefix is in single digits, it will be the same as giving away for nothing. If this merchant had been in charge of selling the stolen goods to the gang of thieves, at this price, I am afraid that the corpses would have been scattered everywhere in the wilderness.

[Glass imitation gemstone] - only this truth can explain the low price of the vegetable seller.

A very tempting price for ladies who can't afford to buy expensive genuine products.

“...... It's glass. ”

Locke muttered, another inconvenient remark welling up in his heart.

[Selling fake gemstones...... Even if you declare that it is a fake made of glass, you still have a bad feeling of selling fake goods and fraud. 】

Clearly pointing out the material of the inlay, marking a reasonable price, it stands to reason that there should no longer be any criticism of Zài, but Locke just felt a little unhappy with subtle doubts around him.

[Fake Gem] -- The title vocabulary is entangled in Locke's mind and difficult to disperse.

Moral cleanliness is rare to see in people of this age, and it is reassuring to consider the chivalry that the boy has received for a long time. ...,

"Gentlemen who really know how to tell the difference between a bargain and the real thing at a glance, and to cheat with these unpopular gadgets will only smash the signboard that has been erected with great difficulty. These small things can make customers happy and make small ones satisfied, as for the others, they really don't need more. ”

The sincere face and smile led Locke to believe that the beautiful words, the merchant's profit-seeking nature and irresponsible attitude towards the use of the goods sold had been left behind by the acolyte.

A pure businessman must be an animal of interest, and there is no such thing as goodness, and goodwill is just a cloak for successful businessmen to act conveniently.

"Well, merchant. Nothing more. ”

Scratching his head, embarrassed to let the merchant continue his business, Locke's words carried a genuine apology for disturbing others.

"I'm sorry to disturb your business, but it's really not a good time to do business, so it's better to leave for the next town early. Be careful, don't go further north. ”

[An unusual state of affairs has occurred.] 】

He hesitated for a moment and did not say this statement.

Once the other party asks, I am afraid that it will be difficult to answer, and I accidentally leak the matter of [Pointed Ears defeated the Earl's army]. In addition to causing unnecessary unease among outsiders, it will also make commoners unnecessarily question the abilities of knights and nobles. For the arrogant knights, it is undoubtedly a very face-losing thing.

There are many times when there is no physical face, but the knights are always very concerned about face, so it becomes a very strict problem.

The merchant sniffed out the smell that the other party didn't want to continue the related topic from Locke's evasive posture, adjusted the direction of the topic at the right time, and put the hand behind his back in a false grip posture.

“...... I understand that the little one does not plan to go to the north, and after selling this batch of goods, he will buy some wheat and leave. ”

I won't leave honestly, and I won't stupidly leave and mess up the atmosphere.

"Please take a look at this. ”

The helper who had been on the other side of the seat came out of the carriage as if it were a woman dressed in a similar style. After saluting Locke, his raised face was simple and generous, and the smile that bloomed was just right, showing only 4 teeth. Strict etiquette won the squire's dizzy favor with a smile, and before Locke could come back from his trance, the beautiful cylinder was held in front of the businesswoman's palm.

"This is ......"

"Business partners, partners who pooled money together to buy carriages and wander around. ”

The eyelids narrowed to the point that only a narrow thread-like slit remained, and the amber pupils let out an ambiguous, teasing inquiry from the crack, causing the thin-skinned boy's face to rise rapidly, and his heartbeat was as fierce and loud as a sledgehammer smashing against a wall.

Virgin.

It makes sense to put the iconic word on Locke at this age, and it will be a few years before he thinks about tearing off this label, but the precocious personality and the monotonous and boring knightly life make the boy enter the puberty period earlier.

It is normal for 14 or 15-year-old attendants to go to a brothel to say goodbye to a virgin, and in the open social climate of the secular state of mankind, people do not think that there is anything wrong with this commonplace behavior. Only the southern part of Castile, which was too open-minded, had a highly open atmosphere even to sexual orientation - many young and handsome attendants maintained a [lovers] relationship with their mentors, and Charlemagne's young prisoners of war who fell into the hands of the Castile often paid a ransom and could not get them back, and as for the women in their eyes, they were only used to pass on their ancestry and give birth to children. Not only did this custom make their Albion allies scratch their heads, but it also made Charlemagne's knights feel like they were in pain.

The panic of the lamb-like and pure boy at this moment caused the neighbors, especially the women, to burst into laughter, and Locke, who was even more helpless in the laughter, hurriedly put on the mask of Yan Sù, and carefully took the ornate cylinder. ...,

"Looking through that small hole, the kaleidoscope will present you with colorful beauty. ”

The agitation was explained by the young businessman, who was urged by his eager curiosity to do so.

"Really...... Beautiful!"

With the movement of his fingers, the optical toys with complex geometric patterns brought Locke, who had long been accustomed to monotonous daily life, a childlike joy that he had long been away from, and he repeatedly played and turned the small cylinder, making a burst of shouts about its beautiful and never-to-be-repeated wonders.

Children's toys are also one of the business items of traveling merchants, and merchants who travel to and from densely populated areas of towns often carry them on this business. It's just that the inhabitants of the county of Agen Toratong prefer to DIY simple toys such as wood, swords, or wooden horses for their children, after all, parents don't always have enough spare money in their pockets.

In the amazed eyes of the surrounding civilians and the envy of the children, the boy who played with the novelty toy remembered his shriveled and shy money bag, and his interest was suddenly covered by the emptiness of reluctance, and the palm of the hand that played with the kaleidoscope slowed down absent-mindedly.

"In order to commemorate the meeting between the little and the great knights of the future, would it be a great honor to present this little souvenir to you? ”

The whisper that came to his ear brought the boy to life again, and with a smile full of joy he nodded his head vigorously, and turned to the knight's door with a new toy that did not cost a single copper. Behind the boy-in-waiting, who had forgotten to ask the secret of growing taller faster, the women who had been waiting impatiently flocked again, shouting and shoving, trying to get close to the truck and look through their favorite things.

For families who don't have a family member killed in the crusade, strife and war are another world's thing. They are not obliged to accompany the lord to worry about it. As long as the sun continues to rise tomorrow and life will go on, what matters to them now is not war, but to live life with cheap goods.

The crowd was focused on picking goods and haggling, and no one but the female helper noticed a momentary disobedience, and a brief glimpse would not be captured by any human caught up in the excitement.

-- The young carriage merchant poked his lips at the corner of the street, and an idle, uncharacterist-looking, ordinary man quickly disappeared from the alley where the sun did not shine.

Small theatre time

Brunhill: It's a terrible feeling to not only pretend to be a businessman, but also to deceive children.

Li Lin: Just think of it as a deception to the knight.

Brunhill: -----b, is there any difference?

Li Lin: Tricking a child who is about to get rid of virginity will feel a little guilty, but cheating a knight will not.

Brunhill: Your Excellency Li Lin, you're too ghostly......
