Chapter 29 on(1/2)
Half an hour later, we walked out of the chamber of commerce.
"It's really interesting..." I held Ruby in one hand and the money bag in the other and followed Diana out of the Lübeck Chamber of Commerce.
We just watched a very interesting anatomy show inside. An old craftsman who was nearly fifty years old used a very strange way to dispose of the three fire badgers we sold. The whole dissection process was done in one place.
It was carried out in a special giant water tank. The old craftsman completely soaked the fire badger's body in water mixed with some kind of medicine. Then he used a sharp stone knife to easily dismember the fire badger and took out the body of Diana.
The "most valuable" part mentioned was an organ that looked like the size of a gallbladder. The old craftsman took it out and quickly put it into a glass jar densely engraved with magic textures. The entire process was kept under water.
The operation is done so it looks more novel.
This organ is called the "fire sac", and it is said to be the part used by fire badgers to secrete and store some kind of flammable liquid. But in my opinion, the burning effect of that thing is not much different from that of gasoline, because I remember before
When fighting the Fire Badger on Broken Bridge, although the flames it spewed out were very large, they were still far behind burning agents such as thermite. To me, that thing was actually worthless. But having said that, this
Organs are very good materials for alchemists, so the fire sac of a young fire badger is worth 3 to 5 gold Solis coins, which is indeed not a small amount of money.
But it is a pity that of the three fire badgers we brought, only two of the larger fire sacs were sold at a good price. The smallest fire badger seemed to be not fully developed, so the fire sacs were not mature yet.
Only 20 silver coins were sold. It is said that the value of Solis coins has changed a lot in recent days. The ratio of gold coins to silver coins has become 1:30. It seems that the ratio will continue again in the future.
Big changes have occurred. I really don’t know if there are institutions like price bureaus in government departments in this world. I am really not used to this kind of behavior that changes every day.
In short, the three fire badgers were sold for a total of 7 gold and 30 silver. Because the potion used for dissection has a certain degree of toxicity, the fire badger meat cannot be eaten and can only be destroyed. In the end, only the fur and bones were included.
It was only worth this amount of money in total, and I felt vaguely at a loss.
After we said goodbye to the three city guards, we went shopping nearby. We were going to visit Liz next, so we planned to buy some gifts to take with us. I didn't have to spend money on this because I prepared some candies for them. Yes.
At that time, I really felt that I couldn't finish the candies at home. Every day when I opened the candy closet in the kitchen, I would always see a cabinet full of candies. I once tried emptying that closet, but the next day
It will still be filled with all kinds of candies in the morning. I don’t know what Severna thinks. She doesn’t seem to like eating candies. If possible, I really want to try to open a candy.
Shop to make money.
The pedestrians on the street were a bit dense, so Diana kept walking carefully next to me. After all, she put on her previous outfit before entering the city, wearing a cloak and applying camouflage magic. Although the city has already
Although the owner has changed, people's views on elves will not change so quickly. After all, yesterday was a good lesson. We don't want to get involved in any unexpected disputes today. And my dress today is very ordinary.
At least it seems ordinary to me. At the same time, in the eyes of passers-by on the street, I am still probably still a strangely dressed alien, so pedestrians around me when I walk on the road will always avoid me intentionally or unintentionally. Although this can provide Diana with
Some help but I personally always feel very uncomfortable.
"This is it." Diana pointed to a nearby shop and stopped, then pulled us in.
I looked at this shop with people coming and going and felt a little repelled from the bottom of my heart, because I don't like places with many people. If there are a lot of people on the street, it would be okay, but for shopping malls or restaurants with a lot of customers, it would be okay.
I couldn't accept it, so I never went shopping in shopping malls, and I never went to popular restaurants to eat. Although this kind of behavior is a bit sad in the eyes of others, I personally think it is normal, because I have been with
A friend went shopping in a large shopping mall that had just opened. It took nearly an hour just to park the car. Later, when I was shopping there, I always wanted to shoot the housewives who were fighting for a certain discounted daily necessities with a gun.
their thoughts.
No matter how much I resisted in my heart, I still followed Diana into the store obediently, and before entering the door, I held Ruby in my arms. I was not worried that Ruby would get lost, I just wanted to use her
It's just a cover-up. After all, no one in their right mind would deliberately push toward a woman holding a child. This method would work both on earth and here.
This store is a grocery store with a wide variety of items, ranging from furniture and fabrics to ingredients and spices. Most of the customers are well-dressed citizens. These people are probably immigrants who have moved into the city recently, so most of them are some.
Women and children, it would not be difficult for us to go inside like this. Of course, it would be even more so if I don't count my clothes.
Since the house we bought for Liz and the others was fully furnished, we went directly to the shelves of ingredients and spices, and as we approached there, a waiter who looked like a shopping guide immediately came up to us with a smile.
This young man looked very capable. He introduced various products to Diana skillfully. But because I couldn’t understand Annuo, I had to silently follow Diana and let her take charge of the negotiations. However, Diana
Without saying much to him, the young man soon took us to several cabinets with cheese. It seemed that Diana was planning to buy some cheese. I personally also like cheese, but until now I
I have never tasted local cheese, so I don’t know how these delicious-looking cheeses actually taste.
After Diana and the young man exchanged a few words, the other party called a worker to take down a piece of cheese from the container, cut it and put it into a very delicate basket, and then we followed the young man there.
After grabbing some bacon and eggs from the nearby counter, she started to pay, but before that she also picked up a clay pot that looked like wine.
When we left the store, I couldn't wait to ask her if she had bought wine, but her answer made me a little disappointed.
"You're overthinking this. It's filled with grape juice. How could I possibly give wine to Liz and Polly?"
"Buy some and wait until you go home in the evening. You see, I've been here for so long and I haven't tasted the local wine yet." I still didn't want to give up, so I tried to encourage her.
"That's right...if you want to drink, we can go to the Sherry Chamber of Commerce and buy some sherry before going back."
"real?"
"Of course, but you have to pay for it yourself."
"You... okay, I'll just pay... but... how much does a bottle of sherry cost?"
"It's not expensive. An ordinary bottle of sherry only costs about 10 silver coins."
"Well...it's really not expensive..."
"A bottle of Fino costs about 1 gold coin."
"...Okay, this is almost acceptable...if it's just one bottle..."
"Are you just going to buy one bottle? What about me? Where's Severna?"
"...You are blackmailing."
"Haha, I'm just blackmailing you." Diana came up to me and said quietly: "If Severna hadn't mentioned this matter, would you have planned to let me support you for the rest of your life? 'Babyface'."
I knew she was taking this opportunity to tease me, but if it were normal times, I would be happy to use this excuse to fight back against her, but now I am not in that mood, because Ruby in my arms has somehow learned how to do it.
I heard this word, and it kept chattering in my ears endlessly.
"Pretty face... pretty face... Erica... pretty face..."
"Yes, Ruby, be good...come on, open your mouth." Diana came over happily and stuffed a piece of Skittles candy into Ruby's mouth.
"Okay, okay, I'm just a pretty boy, so what? Are you going to leave me alone?" I responded in a self-defeating tone.
"You are such a bastard..." Diana poked my face with a smile, and then asked maliciously: "Have you thought about Ruby's gift?"
"No, I just went out. How could I think of it so quickly? What about you? Tell me you are ready."
"Of course, I prepared it before I went out." Diana continued to tease Ruby.
"What have you prepared?"
"I won't tell you."
"You... don't be like this. Tell me everything. I don't have any ideas at all."
"You can only prepare this kind of thing by yourself. There is no point in listening to other people's opinions, right Ruby."
"Well... Erica, I want something good..."
Ruby was also deceived by Diana and started to attack me, which made me a little helpless. You must know that I have never participated in a birthday party or the like, and of course I don't know what kind of gift is appropriate.
"Ruby, do you want a gun? I have a Chicago typewriter that I got from an American gangster, and it comes with a violin case..."
"No!" Ruby's decisive refusal did not discourage me. I thought about it briefly and then thought of something new.
"Then...how about giving you a big gun? I remember that there is an IWS2000 imitation prototype gun obtained from special channels in the warehouse..."
"No!" Ruby decisively refused again, which made me a little nervous.
"I don't want this...then I also have a Gustav M4. This should be fine, right? This is a new product that I spent a lot of money to get from the US military stationed in Germany..."
"No..." Ruby seemed a little unhappy and a little excited.
"You are so boring. How can you give me weapons as a birthday gift..." Diana also came out to complain to me.
"What can I do?" I scratched my head helplessly again and said, "The only gift I have ever given in my life is a gun..."
"Forget it, there's still time, just think about it slowly." Diana handed me the basket in her hand and said, "Come on, it's time to change people, let me hold you for a while."
I slowly put Ruby into Diana's arms, and then took over the somewhat heavy basket.
"Are we going to have lunch at Liz's place at noon?"
"It depends on the situation. We still have to go to the store yesterday to pick up the ordered ingredients."
"Well, better hurry because I'm hungry."
"It shouldn't be too much trouble. Anyway, I ordered a lot of ingredients yesterday. I'm afraid you have to work harder."
"Really...wait! Did you do it on purpose?!"
"What are you referring to?" Diana hugged Ruby and turned to me with a smile.
She was obviously pretending to be confused. She probably just wanted me to be a coolie, so she deliberately found an excuse to change the division of labor with me. I looked at her back holding Ruby and sighed helplessly.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have let those three free coolies leave first..."
At the same time, near the knight camp outside the city.
Many cavalrymen in the camp were watching the sailing ship suspended in the air from a distance, and many off-duty knights also came over. However, Marco, who is the current temporary leader of the knights camp, was alone not far away.
He was drinking wine in his tent and looking at the floating ship outside.
Marco was in a very bad mood today. Because of yesterday's accident, he was removed from Miss Michael's escort that night and returned to the camp to manage the daily training of the knights. To outsiders, this was just an ordinary incident.
Personnel transfer. After all, Marco was seriously injured yesterday. Even if he is cured by healing magic, he will not return to normal immediately. But Marco himself knows very well that this personnel transfer is a warning, a warning from Miss Mihail.
To be continued...
