Chapter 15: Celia

"Seven first-order casting materials, giant rat tailbones. ”

"Well, yes, the condition and texture are perfect, and there is not the slightest trace of blood, it is clean. ”

"It's six silver coins and fifty-five coppers, take it!"

In the civilian area of Karandu, the morning fog has not yet lifted, and a light is shining in an alchemy hut called Fran.

A half-elf woman in an aqua blue robe who looked about twenty-one or twelve years old said to Nina.

Her slender jade hand played with the fluorescent bones in the bag handed over by the little dragonborn girl in front of her, and nodded with satisfaction.

He also took out six silver coins from his bosom very happily, and then handed over a small bag full of copper and some heavy money bags.

After all, those adventurers in the past didn't know how to deal with most of the materials on monsters.

There are even some who come to her directly with monster corpses, which are called fresh, and it is simply mad for her.

In such a comparison, even though the little girl of the Dragonborn in front of her had a dirty face and was wearing a tattered linen skirt, the half-elf woman also looked at her quite pleasing to the eye.

Of course, there is another reason that cannot be explained, and that is that both of them are mixed races.

One is a half-elf and the other is a dragonborn, both of whom are humans mixed with the blood of other races, and they will always have a little sympathy for each other.

Regardless of the intelligent biological society, it is normal for hybrids to be called "mongrel" and "monster".

Neither of them wants to see each other.

However, the acceptance of half-elves is still much higher than that of the dragonborn, mainly because elves have always been indisputable and do not have much conflict with humans.

After all, one lives in the dense forests of the forest and the other lives in the vast plains, and if you really want to say it, the elves hate humans more.

You must know that the price of elf slave girls in Karandu has always been high, and there is no price in the black market.

The multicolored dragons wreak havoc on the continent of Io every day, and they are greedy and like to play with passing travelers and rob treasures.

Although there is also news of successful dragon slaying from time to time, it is still humans who suffer the most.

However, the little dragonborn girl seemed to be stunned, and did not take the money for a long time.

It wasn't until the half-elf woman urged her a few times that she woke up like a dream and suddenly realized, and hurriedly took the money handed over in her hand.

This is a very fair price, and it does not bully the price because of her young age.

Before coming out, Gordon had already told Nina the approximate price of the first-order material, which would probably not fall below or exceed 70 copper coins to 10 copper coins per silver coin.

The half-elf woman in front of her can offer Nina a price of about 90 copper, which is already very high.

That's almost seven silver coins, which is almost enough to cover the income of a baron's peasant in almost four months.

You know, there is still money under the copper, that is, grain or wheat, to bear the use of bartering and filling gaps.

Of course, the above method of filling the leak is not used in Karando, because the cheapest price here is also from one copper.

But one copper can also be exchanged for enough black bread for a family of three to eat for a day, or it is more appropriate to call it bran bread.

Mixed with sawdust and bran, black bread is hard enough to be used as a weapon.

When monsters attack the village, there are many goblins and kobolds who die under the black breadstick.

So, for the sake of justice, Nina thanked softly.

"Thank you, and may the gods of heaven bless you. ”

This is the standard tone, and that's how Grandma Oran used to greet people outside.

After all, people have different beliefs, and there are so many good gods, and you can't tell which person is a follower of which god.

It is like a female warrior who holds a flail and wears heavy armor, and at first glance she knows that she is a believer in the god of war.

But after taking off her armor, she turned into a weak girl in a white dress, and you only saw one face, can you guess her beliefs?

After thanking her, Nina took the coin that the half-elf handed her, stuffed it into her purse, and hid it around her waist.

Because of her loose dress, from the outside, it is completely impossible to see that there is a bulging money bag hidden there.

Only Nina can feel the cutie hidden in her dress.

"It's okay, next time you can come to me if you still have materials, my name is Fran Willow. ”

"I usually stay in this alchemy hut in Fran, and when I go out, I put a sign on the door. ”

Half-elf, oh no, Fran Vero said with a smile to Nina.

Obviously, this is the usual term used by the half-elf to woo long-term customers, and with the clever mind of the half-elf, she has already guessed that the little dragonborn girl in front of her is nothing more than an errand runner.

There was someone else who could take out seven first-order fragments, and it was most likely a lone ranger who had just arrived in Karando not long ago.

The seven giant rats that can take out the sewers must be a professional of at least the second order.

This kind of high-quality customer is the focus of Fran Pull.

After all, whether this kind of profession is a seller or a buyer, if it is stable, it will be a lot of income for her.

"Okay, I will. ”

Nina said a few words and hurried away.

Her mood at this time was indescribable, although she had only been away for a long time, she was a little anxious to go back, and a little excited to see Mr. Gordon and take the money with her.

Time passed, and the morning mist was gradually dispelled by the sun, and the road gradually became clearer, the towering city walls in the distance, the noisy invectives in the ears, and the cries of children.

They also gradually appeared in the streets of the civilian area, and at this time in the past, Nina was still looking for food in the back alley of the Iron Furnace Tavern, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at all, and all she thought about was hunger.

However, she didn't delay here much now, naturally to avoid long nights and dreams.

She carries a huge sum of money of almost seven silver coins, in the dark street, because a copper can kill people, let alone silver coins.

Fran's Alchemy Cottage was not far from the Black Street, so Nina returned to the Black Street intersection after spending the same amount of time as she came.

Compared to the clean and tidy streets of the civilian area, there is a lot of sewage and garbage, and even Nina can see the eggshells they threw a few days ago.

As for the vegetable leaves, I don't know if they were taken away by dogs, or they were picked up and eaten by someone in the black street.

Nina didn't stand still, she quickly left the entrance of the black street, and walked to a remote path that she had been walking all along, and she was cautious, so she did not choose to return the way she came, but to be careful.

But what she didn't know was that someone was already following her from afar.

Since Nina's makeup this time was not very obvious, as soon as she entered, some idle villains in the shadows of the dark street found this girl with some eyes.

After seeing the obsidian-like dragon eyes that couldn't be hidden, it occurred to me that she was the sick, rotten dragonborn beggar.

Nina's new appearance surprised these street villains, but she was so angry that she was actually teased by a little girl for so long.

So the three of them followed up, ready to find trouble with Nina, no matter how bad it was, they had to have a good time to vent their hatred.

As they got closer, Nina heard footsteps behind her, but she didn't dare to look back.

She wasn't sure if the people behind her were looking for her, so she steadily picked up speed, and then, the footsteps behind her became more dense.

This also made Nina's heart sink, she really came for herself.

But now there is still a block from the nearest sewer entrance, more than two hundred meters, if she walks in a straight line, she will definitely not be able to outrun these adults, not to mention, if the manhole cover is not pushed open, she will not be able to escape at all.

After all, even if she is agile and age, her physical strength and speed are obviously not comparable to that of adults, and at most her reaction speed is faster.

So Nina ran straight to the alley in front of her, which led in all directions, and she had to use the terrain she was best at to get rid of the trackers behind her.

So, Nina rushed towards the entrance of the alley, and as long as she got into the alley, she had a chance to escape and return to the sewers.

The people behind also seemed to find Nina's weirdness, so they put away their thoughts of playing with cats and mice, and hurriedly chased after her.

After all, if the boat capsizes in the gutter here, if it is seen, it can be laughed at for a year.

However, just hearing the sound of "bang!", Nina only felt that she had hit a soft body, and then a rebound force spread throughout her body, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Nina listened to the laughter that could not be concealed behind her, and the sound of footsteps, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave.

Can't run away......

She turned her head in horror to look at the three gangsters who were surrounding her, and her body was too busy to get up.

At this moment, a fair, slender hand reached out, accompanied by a slightly familiar voice, which was buried in memory.

"Nina?"

Only then did Nina raise her head and see clearly the person who had caused her to fall to the ground.

It was a girl in a slim black robe, with a black hood with a low brim, covering half of her face, and only the delicate lower half of her face and slender neck leaked out.

Just looking at the lower half of her face, there is no doubt that she is a beauty, and the black robe with engraved patterns on her body brings her a mysterious temperament.

Nina listened to this voice as if in a dream, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face of the black-robed girl, and said in a tone of disbelief in surprise.

"You're a sister? Celia...... Sister?"

"Why are you here?"
