Chapter 196: Dilemma
The other mermaids were disappointed when they heard this, but they still saluted politely. Then I went to find other guests.
The blue-haired mermaid's face was full of surprise and disbelief, but she didn't expect that she was lucky to be selected for the first time as a tour guide, and many people couldn't get a guest after waiting for a day. Nodding hurriedly, "Thank you, sir!" Her sweet voice was pleasant, like a wind chime.
"What's your name?"
"Helena, sir."
"Oh, okay. Helena, are you familiar with Venela? Since she has just joined the work, Chen Lin has to ask clearly, of course, even if she is not familiar, out of sympathy Chen Lin will not fire her immediately, at most hire a tour guide, anyway, the two of them together will not cost much money.
Helena nervously said, "Familiar, very familiar, I have more than a hundred years of work experience!" ”
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Miss Helena, if I'm not mistaken, you've only been working for less than a month at most, right?" ”
When the lie was exposed, Helena was extremely frightened, because cheating guests is a very bad behavior, and if she is sued to the guild, she will even lose her job, so Helena is almost crying in fear: "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you, but I really have a hard time, please believe me, I have been preparing for my career since I was three years old, and I run around the city all day, Helena can guarantee that I am definitely much more familiar with Verella than most of my companions!" (Every year the mermaid's tail scales fall off automatically and grow new scales until adulthood, so Helena's tail is still very tender.)
Chen Lin was originally just joking, but she didn't expect her to panic like this, but she was embarrassed to say: "Helena, I'm just talking casually, don't be afraid, hehe." ”
Helena was relieved, greatly relieved, and said a few more words of apology in her disapproving.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
Helena nodded, "Sir, where are you going?" Do you eat first, or do you find a place to stay, or is it something else? ”
Chen Lin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go around first." "After being hunted down for so many days in a row, he was very depressed, Chen Lin just wanted to relax first.
The cityscape of the land and sea is really very different, the house materials are coral reefs of various colors or the secretion of other marine organisms, very regular, but compared to the Delphi Empire's square and round flat, it is absolutely different, but the sea creatures are natural artists, with a microscopic sense of beauty, it looks very exquisite. According to Helena, these houses are constructed in a peculiar way, with the architect manipulating polyp-like organisms to secrete fluids into a fixed frame, layering them on top of each other, and when they are solidified, the houses are built. Of course, the speed at which these organisms secrete solidified matter is many times faster than that of polyps, and it takes about four or five days for a small building of ordinary specifications to be completed.
The means of transportation in the sea country are also full of marine characteristics, only some leeches, magic rain and other sea beasts that can go ashore and go to the sea, because the Venezuelan River is scattered, and from time to time wait for the waterway. Chen Lin hired a magic chapter that was similar in appearance to the earth octopus, but it was several times bigger, and it had ten legs, and he was sightseeing slowly.
Along the way, you will see all kinds of strange sea people, crab people walking sideways, carp people with fish heads and human bodies, shark people with sharp teeth, salamanders who can spit sticky foam to block the movement of their opponents, funny turtle people with carapaces on their backs, and two heads of fish people. People, the one-eyed flounder ......, Chen Lin felt as if he had come to the Sea Dragon Palace in "Journey to the West". It was overwhelming for a while.
The proportion of the original inhabitants of these Akarins is not too high, and because of the predominance of trade, merchants from other countries account for the vast majority, and there are people of all races.
After the initial novelty subsided a little, Chen Lin remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, Helena, please take me to the nearest bank immediately." "The two of them didn't have a lot of gold on them, and the expensive expenses of buying tickets and eight days on the ship were almost empty, so they had to withdraw some money.
When Chen Lin took out his magic card and swiped it over the mountain of instruments that automatically withdrew gold coins, a crisp voice came out: "I'm sorry, your magic card has been frozen!" ”
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and Lin Ling's eyes widened behind him.
Chen Lin reluctantly swiped it again, but unfortunately it was still the crisp and good-sounding, but unchanged words: "I'm sorry, your magic card has been frozen!" ”
Chen Lin hurriedly said: "Fuck your uncle, your grandfather was frozen!" Although he knew that the other party was just a lifeless instrument, Chen Lin, who was depressed, couldn't help but scold to vent.
Behind him, Lin Ling sighed, didn't care, and said helplessly: "Xiao Linzi, I think it should be the Imperial Guild that canceled your nationality, as well as the qualification to use the magic card." ”
Chen Lin was very depressed, of course he wouldn't know who did it, so simple things could be figured out with his ass. Now that he is a "traitor and spy", can the empire still let him enjoy privileges? Chen Lin was heartbroken, the crystal coins, gold coins, and coins that Diao Chan and Athena had saved for all these months were gone all of a sudden, those were all money, shiny, ringing, and more lovely than anything else! Chen Lin felt as if his world had collapsed halfway.
Lin Ling thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Linzi, try my card." ”
Chen Lin perked up and said, "Yes, yes, let's try it." ”
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the instrument still spit out the same words, so angry that Chen Lin almost wanted to vomit blood, and wanted to blow it up immediately with a storm lore. I thought that I had lost my spiritual power, and I couldn't get out of my breath again. But in the end, he still suppressed the violent urge to destroy, otherwise he would not be able to afford to lose.
Thinking that the empire noticed that Lin Ling was with him, he froze her card.
Sighing, he said, "Hey, let's take out the money we have on our bodies, see how much we have left, and then make plans." ”
So the two of them took out the items in the storage space one by one, and after calculating them, they came up with a number: three gold coins, two silver coins, and five copper coins.
Chen Lin frowned, this money is really pitiful, Akalin's consumption seems to be generally high, and this money will be used up in the city in a few days. Let's just talk about tonight, the two of them will spend a lot of money just on accommodation and food, and I thought I could enjoy it on Akalin, but it seems that good wishes are always as easy to shatter as soap bubbles.
