Chapter 464: Deceived?
If you look at ten gold coins, it doesn't seem like much, but it's actually enough capital for a solid family to live for a year, of course, provided that you don't go to the restaurant and don't buy luxury goods. (8) (1) Δ Chinese Δ Network 『.Δ81.
It's a bit of a shame to buy this black stone with ten gold coins, but if I don't buy it and let it go, I'm a little unwilling, so I decided to take this stone with the whitebearded old man to the adventurer's base to appraise it and see what the price of this stone is.
So I said, "Ten gold coins is not impossible, but you have to promise me one condition." ”
"On what terms?"
"Come with me to the adventurer's base to see how much this stone is worth."
The white-bearded old man's expression was obviously hesitant, he thought for a while, and said, "Yes, you can, but you have to pay me first before I can go with you." ”
Pay the money, and you're afraid that you'll run away with a white-bearded grandfather?
After thinking about it, I opened the money bag, took out ten gold coins in his greedy gaze, checked them, first put away the stones, and then put the ten gold coins in the palm of the old man's hand.
The white-bearded old man's eyes lit up, revealing countless greedy looks, which were very similar to the goblins who were greedy for money.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a closer look at the old man in front of me: I can't say that I am five short figures, but I am definitely not tall, just as tall as my waist, my body is a little thin, but the proportion is very good, if it is elongated, grown, and thickened, it will be the same as the ordinary Terran grandfather.
The figures of Princess Aurora and Milulu suddenly appeared in my mind, the proportions were the same as those of ordinary human beings, but they seemed to have shrunk a few times.
To put it this way...... He's also a dwarf?
Watching him put the gold coins away, I said, "Can I go now?" ”
He nodded.
So we walked one after the other towards the adventurer's base.
When I was about to arrive at the base, I snorted coldly in my heart: If this stone is worthless, I will ask you to spit out all ten gold coins and return them to me.
When I came to the appraisal counter, I took out the black stone and handed it over, and I said, "Help identify it, thank you." ”
The "OK" staff member took the stone, put it on the identification instrument, and began to operate.
I pursed my lips, turned around, and was about to speak, when suddenly the white-bearded old man was gone!
Wipe me?
What's going on?
Just a careless and let him run?
I stared and searched in the hall for a few laps, but I didn't even find a single hair, this is too much of an exaggeration, isn't it, an old man who is getting weaker in the West Mountain, just slipped away under the nose of a young man like me?
And the time before and after that adds up to less than ten seconds......
Then, another not-so-good thought came to me: Isn't this stone also fake?
Hurriedly walked back to the appraisal table, the staff had completed the appraisal, and sure enough, the sound of a copper coin was heard.
When I was paying, the staff even smiled at me and said, "Sir, although this stone is indeed stained with some monster breath, no matter how you identify it, it is still just an ordinary stone, although it is not good to say so, but I still have to remind you that even if it is a stone and a piece of toilet paper, if you get it here for identification, you still need to pay." ”
I nodded: "Got it, thank you for your hard work." ”
As he spoke, he took the stone back and clutched it in the palm of his hand.
In his heart, he kept cursing the white-bearded old man just now: I am not ashamed, but in the end I still sold me a fake, and then people also ran away, and I meowed, which is really infuriating!
I bared my teeth, showing a very unhappy expression, I wanted to crush the stone in my palm into powder, or throw the stone out and break it into pieces.
However, reason told me: It's better not to do this, this is a public place, it is to be confined, and your vigilance is too weak, it is a good thing to be fooled this time, eat a trench and grow wise, keep it, and be a sign of your innocent life.
With a sigh, I walked back dejectedly.
Still passing by the foodie girl's counter, she whispered to me from afar.
I didn't have any energy when I was deceived, and when I saw the enthusiastic expression of the foodie girl, I couldn't ignore it, so I reluctantly walked over and sat down.
The foodie girl said, "What's wrong with you, you look listless?" ”
"Hey......"
I just sighed deeply.
"Well, I'll tell you a joke, and if you hear it funny, cheer up, okay?"
The foodie girl said to me like a child.
"Ah, thank you then," I was still listless, "You can tell me." ”
"Let me tell you, I have a relative who was deceived and spent ten silver coins to buy a stone that is useless, hahahaha, do you say he is stupid?"
I suddenly didn't want to hear her anymore, glared at her, turned and left.
Behind him, there was also a foodie girl's muttering: "Why didn't he laugh, no, this thing is funny......"
Hehe, ten silver coins to buy a stone is called stupid, so I spent ten gold coins to buy a stone that the same egg is not used, what is it called?
Dasha? Giant stupidity? Or is it a monstrous stupidity?
Meow, don't let me catch that old man, or I'll see you and hit it once.
With all kinds of unhappiness in my heart, I walked towards the way home.
After entering the house, no one has returned, so I removed the knife, took off my clothes, changed into a yukata, and prepared to enjoy the feeling of a bathroom charter alone, and at the same time release the unhappiness in my heart.
After putting the water away, I immersed my entire body in the water, and I removed the layers of bandages around my left arm.
Most of the time, I don't take a shower with other people, and even when I do, I always have a waterproof bandage wrapped around my left arm.
Billy once laughed at me because of this: You should be past the age of secondary two, why are you still wearing bandages and playing cool?
I don't give a damn about that.
In the guild, except for the three phoenix girls, no one knows about the mysterious rune on my arm, and the more people who know about this thing, the more random speculation will be, and the more trouble will naturally be.
I'm a person who is more afraid of trouble, so it's better to keep them in the dark.
While taking a shower, I held the washed stone in the palm of my hand, and took a closer look to see that in addition to being a little transparent, it was really an ordinary stone!
I laughed to myself, then lay down, clutching the stone in my left hand and paddling the water with my right, humming an unknown tune in a depressed manner and closing my eyes.
I don't know how long later, someone suddenly slapped me twice, and I opened my eyes: it was Zack.
"Uh, you're back?" I sat up and wiped my face with water droplets.
Zach had already undressed, hung the bathrobe aside, and sat down in the water, saying, "Well, I just came back, and I was sweating and thinking about taking a bath, and I saw you lying inside." ”
As Zach spoke, I wrapped my left arm in a waterproof bandage, and continued to soak in the shower.
At this point, I suddenly felt that something was not quite right......
I pinched my hand and clenched my fist, and then I coldly bought the stone for ten gold coins, and it was gone!
