Chapter 45: Woking's Contract [2/3]
The Goblins of the Blackfire Clan began to practice in a clearing not far away, practicing the [Bone Crush] point.
They are neither loud nor too small.
But now in Gordon's ears, it was silent.
Because, it has been shocked by the number that Nina blurted out.
"What are you talking about? This thing is worth two thousand gold coins? The people of Karando are crazy?"
Gordon lowered his head and looked at the sapphire pressed under his chest, a little surprised.
As he spoke, it hurriedly took out the sapphire from under its not too heavy body and carefully placed it aside, for fear of being crushed by itself.
Then it lay on its stomach and stared closely at the sapphire, which was more symbolic than valuable.
Still a little unconvinced, Gordon added before Nina could answer it.
"But although this sapphire is refined in shape, the material is only an inferior sapphire, and it is not worth the price at all!"
"Nina, are you sure you're really seeing this gem?"
Nina listened to Gordon's words, and for a moment fell into suspicion.
After all, the Flender described in the commission notice was wearing a heart-shaped sapphire, but she didn't know what it was made of.
If you really make an oolong and rejoice in the air, it's not beautiful.
She'll feel sorry too.
So she whispered everything she knew about this to Gordon in front of her.
There are no personal inclinations, everything is truthfully recounted.
This made Gordon feel a little believable, after all, this sapphire appeared very strangely in any way, on a mouse.
There is a high probability that the owner of the gem is gone, and then it falls on the nezumi, which is easy to deduce.
So, when Gordon looked at this sapphire again, it was as if he had seen the extravagance of the future, the life of a sewer king.
Two thousand gold coins, that's not a small amount.
It's enough to exchange a set of shop title deeds in a place where Kalandu is at a premium, or a nice magic item or two.
"However, how to prove it is also a headache. ”
Gordon thought, staring at the campfire burning in the distance, the reflection of the fire burning in its vertical pupils, and he was distracted for a long time.
And Nina also fell into deep thought for a moment, and she obviously thought about this question as well.
Gordon thinks further.
If Nina takes this gem to receive the reward, let's not say if she can get this huge amount of gold and walk back to the black street.
Let's talk about how to pass the Temple of Justice first.
After all, the priest of the God of Justice has [Truth Technique], and if Nina goes to hand in the task, Gordon's existence will definitely not be hidden.
I am afraid that only the believers of Shirek or Laila can deceive the gods in the temple.
These two thousand gold coins are a bit hot and hard to hold.
Gordon thought a little big, after all, it seemed that Nina was the only credible human being, and he didn't give him room to operate at all.
If you have a weak heart, do you want to watch the two thousand gold coins slip out of your hands like this?
Gordon was a little unwilling, but Nina spoke up.
She looked at Gordon with a timid look, and then finally mustered up the courage to say to Gordon.
"Well, let Nina give it a try, I think Lady Willow is a good person, maybe she can help us. ”
"The half-elf?"
Gordon, of course, was aware of Fran Willow's existence, and Nina had spoken to him about it in the last trade.
I heard that he is a relatively kind and generous alchemy shop owner, and the purchase price is reasonable.
However, Gordon still sneered, and immediately wanted to refuse, and give Nina a good social psychology lesson.
Nina is too young to understand the sinister nature of people's hearts.
The so-called betrayal is nothing more than not enough chips.
Some people may not care about some petty profits, but when it comes to great wealth, it will show its fangs.
Greedy as a dragon to take everything, no, more ferocious than a dragon.
The dragon has taken away nothing but wealth, and those people will not stop until they eat and wipe it clean.
Two thousand gold coins are enough to make the nobles who are humble and polite at the same level reveal the most primitive wildness.
As long as you are weaker than me, everything you have is mine!
"We can use the contract of the goddess of wealth, so that we can guarantee that there will be no problems for both parties. ”
Nina hurriedly added.
In the capital of freedom, Karando, if you want to ask which deity is the most popular, it is undoubtedly Woking, the goddess of wealth, and even the temple with her is more than twice as large as the other temples.
The palace on the periphery of the Temple of Light was larger than the average deity, and it was built for her by her most devout devotees.
Merchants who believe in Wojin are spread across almost the entire continent, and their beliefs are not pan-believers, but fanatical beliefs.
Donating gold coins to repair the temple is a normal thing.
Not to mention the free capital of this merchant-gathered, Karando, where the sum of Woking's followers is comparable to that of the gods.
This made Gordon a little speechless, yes, there is a contract with the goddess of wealth, there is indeed no concern, you can borrow someone to help identify it, or receive it.
After all, as long as the sapphire is genuine in the commission, the reward above will indeed be handed over to them a lot of copper.
Its preconceived notions made it not think clearly for a while, but this aborigine, who was less than ten years old, thought more clearly than Gordon.
Also, the fairness of the goddess of wealth in transactions can be called the best of the gods, and all merchants have to sign contracts.
In order to prevent being deceived, the first choice must be Woking's contract, and only her contract can make the fairest deal between the two parties.
"Then do as you say, but be careful, Nina, two thousand gold coins are nothing, you can give up if necessary!"
Gordon said in a deep voice, and did not forget to tell him later, this tool man is very good.
If it is buried just because of 2,000 gold coins, then its good situation in the sewers may collapse because of it.
But when Nina heard this, she was in the same state as Gordon just now, and she was in a trance.
It wasn't until Gordon repeated it again that the roar brought Nina back to her senses.
Hurriedly turned his head, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then said in a nasal voice.
"I will! Mr. Gordon!"
"You know, Nina is more vigilant than the rats in the sewers, and will run away if there is danger. ”
Listening to Nina's words, although Gordon knew something was out of place.
But its gaze still couldn't help but look at the giant rat hanging in a circle on the campfire, its charred skin shining in the firelight.
Girl: It's better not to use a mouse as an analogy.
Of course, Gordon didn't say this, it just digressed the subject.
"And when are you going to leave?" now?"
"Well, I've been to the temple area many times before, and it's still far from the Black Street, and it takes an hour to walk there. ”
The priest of the temple precinct would occasionally distribute relief food, and Nina had been there a few times.
However, the share is often taken away by other beggars and vagabonds before they leave the temple area.
Over time, Nina felt that the things there were not as fragrant as the trash cans in the backstreets of the stove tavern, at least, the food there was safe.
"Okay, let's have breakfast before leaving, I guess I haven't eaten it in the morning, and I'll take you back to the old delicious food today." ”
Gordon gestured to the rat meat roasting on the fire not far away.
Nina's eyes lit up, and she naturally agreed, she was also hungry.
So, Gordon asked the goblin who was waiting by the Blackfire Clan to bring the giant rat meat and share it with Nina.
However, when Nina was six minutes full, she resisted the desire to eat and said goodbye to Gordon.
After all, if she is full, her body will be very uncomfortable, which is not conducive to her movement.
Nina still understands this truth.
Gordon didn't keep it, just gave him a routine advice.
However, before leaving, Nina also took out a translucent bag the size of a fingernail and sealed from her body.
The inside of the bag appears to be a liquid.
Nina opened the sealed bag, then stepped forward and applied the liquid to Gordon's padded paws.
Gordon didn't resist and let it be smeared, he was a little curious about what it was, and waited until it was done.
Nina said.
"Mr. Gordon, this is a lucky potion. , made by the Temple of the Moon Goddess, is very effective. ”
"Especially in the dimly lit sewers, which belong to Sarah's domain, she will protect you. ”
Gordon looked at the liquid-soaked dragon claw in disbelief, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
"It's delicious, but wouldn't it be too wasteful?"
"How much?" asked Gordon.
"A copper coin. ”
"Nina, when you come back, bring me ten, thank you. ”
