Chapter 20 [Bodyguard]
Seeing Chen Daolin's embarrassing expression, the elf elder felt more relaxed, and the last trace of doubt finally dissipated.
This elf elder is not a fool. He has enough wisdom. He is also very clear that the transactions between human traders and his tribes will make huge profits! Rare goods from the human world are transported here, and the things they get are brought back to the human world, and they are all young and sold rich wealth.
Now I took the initiative to invite this human businessman called Daolin, which clearly shows that it is to give the other party a stable way of wealth. However, the other party did not immediately agree ecstatically, but instead looked in contempt and embarrassed - this instead shows that the other party is not a liar.
The elf elder smiled softly: "If you have any difficulties with the guest, you might as well tell me, maybe I can put in some effort."
Chen Daolin thought about it, then spread his hands and said, "You know, I am an ordinary person who knows magic or martial arts. I may be able to get all the goods you need, but... it is too dangerous for a guy like me to enter and exit this forest."
"Can't you hire some guards?" the elf elder frowned.
"It's not easy." Chen Daolin said vaguely: "I originally had a companion who could trust. She had great martial arts skills and could protect me. But now we are lost, and her life and death are uncertain. After I go back, I'm afraid I won't find someone worth my trust in the short term." After pausing, he added carefully: "You also know that the goods traded are of great value. If it's not someone who is trustworthy, I'm not going to hire any guards casually. Otherwise, if someone has bad intentions in this remote place, I'm afraid..."
The elf elder nodded, raised his head and looked at Chen Daolin deeply: "This is a good thing. Among you humans, there are indeed many people who forget their righteousness."
This was a bit like a slap in the face, and Chen Daolin's expression was a little embarrassed.
However, the elf elder seemed to be completely distracted. He pondered for a while, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "But, this concern is not impossible."
After a pause, a smile appeared on his face: "I wonder if the guests can trust my tribe members?"
Chen Daolin was not a fool, his eyes lit up immediately. He looked at the other party and immediately smiled: "Elder is kidding, you saved my life, how can I trust it?"
"That's easy." The elf elder looked at Chen Daolin: "Since the guest was invited by me to come here to go for a business, then the tribe can put in a little effort in the issue of guarding."
After saying that, he patted his palms gently without waiting for Chen Daolin to speak.
After a while, the rattan curtain was lifted open, and Barossa's brother walked in and knelt down on one knee.
The elf elder looked at Barossa and was about to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly moved his eyes and said something (Chen Daolin saw it and had an illusion, as if the elder was talking to his mouth, and seemed to have changed his mind. The words he said later were probably not his original intention.)
Barossa's brother stood up and left quickly without saying a word.
After a while, the curtain was opened again, but this time it was Barossa and his brother and sister who walked in together, and at the same time knelt in front of the elf elder on one knee.
The elf elder smiled and said to Chen Daolin directly: "You have lived in Barossa all these days. Although this child is a little simple-minded, he is still meticulous in his work, and he is also very familiar with the jungle. I will let her follow you and be responsible for protecting your safety in this frozen forest."
After a pause, he smiled and turned his face, and explained a few words to Barossa who was kneeling on the ground in the language of the elves.
Barossa understood the human language, and was full of surprise when the elf elder talked to Chen Daolin. Then the elf elder's explanation made Barossa overjoyed - but her brother looked a little ugly. Obviously, there was a little unwillingness between the eyebrows, but the elf elder seemed to have prestige. Although Barossa's brother was reluctant, he still had to bow his head and accept the order.
"I will let Barossa be responsible for protecting you from here. Then you can make an appointment with a place. When you come back from outside again and enter the frozen forest, let her wait for you to pick you up at the agreed place, and then escort you to my tribe all the way." The elder said, looking at Chen Daolin with a smile: "Guest, do you think it's feasible?"
Chen Daolin suddenly felt relieved.
If this elf elder sent someone else to guard him, Chen Daolin would probably have some concerns - he had too many shameful secrets, especially because he could not get out of the frozen forest at all, and the way home was on the bank of the south bank of Dayuan Lake. If someone else came to guard him, he would be afraid that he would not be able to fool him.
But... this Barossa girl is easier to do. After spending a few days together, Chen Daolin deeply understood that this elf girl is actually very simple and simple in her mind. At the same time, she is also a brainless fan who yearns for the prosperity of the human world and is also a complete tulip family.
Such a girl is really a strange alien among the elves known for her conservative and stubbornness.
I think it's not difficult to deceive such a girl.
It is a wonderful thing to bring such a coaxing guard into and out of this world by yourself, and she is guarding along the way.
The elf elder saw Chen Daolin agreeing and smiled satisfied.
Then he gave Chen Daolin another surprise.
The elf elder slowly touched his sleeves, but finally took out a dagger.
The dagger is only one foot long, and the sharp blade is very distinctive in shape, looking like a narrow and elliptical leaf, but the edges are sharp, and the entire dagger is actually dark green.
"This is a gift I gave to the guests." The elder smiled and pushed the dagger in front of Chen Daolin.
Before Chen Daolin could speak, he heard Barossa kneeling there cry out a low voice. The little girl widened her eyes and stared at the dagger on the table with envy.
Chen Daolin's heart moved - it seems to be a good thing?!
Sure enough, the following words of the Elves made Chen Daolin feel excited!
"Although this is not an amazing magic weapon, it is also a gadget I have treasured for many years." The elf elder smiled and said, "This is a natural element that is the most sensitive to the surrounding environment."
He looked at Chen Daolin's eyes and said, "The distinguished guest will carry this dagger on his body. If there is a danger around him - if someone with murderous intent approaches, the dagger will naturally react and emit light. The sensing area supported by magic can reach a hundred steps. If there is such a thing on his body, even if he encounters any danger along the way, he will have a reminder in advance to avoid the risk of sudden crisis."
Once a person with murderous intent approaches, he will shine on his own initiative?
Such a function of a bunker! It is simply a comprehensive enemy radar!!!
Chen Daolin wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth hard, took it over, held it in his hand and looked through it carefully for several times.
Then Chen Daolin thanked him all the time and honestly put away the dagger without hesitation - this is a real magic weapon!
I didn't expect that I had really fulfilled my wish and got a piece of magic equipment.
However, after Chen Daolin's initial surprise, a thought suddenly flashed through his heart, which immediately made his joy and enthusiasm disappear completely!!
The elder of this elf clan has invested a lot of money!
I was invited to go to the business again, and I gave me a beautiful female guard guide, and finally gave me a precious magic weapon...
He has invested a lot of money, so he can't just let himself sell more shampoo, soap and other things to their tribe, right?!
No matter how clean and beautiful the elves love to be clean, this elf elder will never be idiot to spend so much money on that kind of thing!!
Does he... have any other intentions?
