Chapter Nine Twenty Two: Purchasing(1/2)
After spending the whole night without talking, I actually fell asleep. There are two beds in the double room, so there will be no embarrassing situation.
Originally, Chun thought that Marshall would ask her why he ignored her or asked for her name. What was strange was that the other party had no intention of asking at all.
Marshall just asked him to help carry his luggage, and said he would take a shower and sleep, but he didn’t mention anything else...
The next morning, Marshall and Chun got up together, preliminarily packed their bags, and after breakfast, they were still silent all the way.
The current situation is that Marshall is sitting in front of William, and Chun is standing behind Marshall's chair, motionless.
William's eyebrows were stretched, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He held a piece of parchment full of words in his left hand, and a cloth bag printed with complicated patterns in his right hand.
"How did you sleep last night?" William crossed his legs and asked slowly, "Did you hold him to sleep? I remember you slept very soundly in the car~"
He pointed at Chun behind him and looked at the red-faced Marshall playfully.
"No, not yet, but I will try for it." Marshall quickly calmed down and responded with a smile.
Behind Marshall, the corners of Chun's mouth twitched slightly, and his complexion gradually darkened.
Not yet...Will you fight for it? Will you sneak into my bed in the middle of the night...
The hair on Chun's body couldn't help but explode slightly, and his eyes glanced into the distance in embarrassment.
"Hahahaha! Not bad!" William laughed, "Okay, let's get to the point. I believe you are also looking forward to getting your sword, right?"
Marshall nodded and said nothing.
"However, before that, you have to complete a task first." William raised his hands and put two things into Marshall's hands without any explanation, "Well... that's right, it's to purchase supplies, right?
Very simple? You can happily use the remaining money to enjoy a lunch, and just come back here before two o'clock in the afternoon. After that, I will give you the sword. After a short rest, we will start daily training.
"
"Okay." Marshall looked at the parchment in his hand and spoke concisely.
She raised the bag in her hand above her head and motioned for Chun to take it. The silly-looking wolf-man was stunned and hurriedly took it.
Water...ale...orange juice...
Bread...butter...honey...meat...
All are calculated in barrels.
On the back of the parchment is a map of Citrine Town, with all the place names marked in detail.
Marshall's brows gradually furrowed and he couldn't help but look back.
"Don't worry, this bag can hold everything you purchased." William waved his hand, his eyes easily wandering between the two people in front of him, "Okay, okay! Go, remember to come back~ By the way, fate
This kind of thing is really mysterious, isn't it?"
Before leaving, William's voice appeared again: "Remember, don't go to casinos, don't go to those dangerous places, and you, bring your knife. If you have any questions, I'm down below
I wrote a reminder not to come back halfway, do you understand?"
Casino...there is also a casino...
"Yeah, I got it..." Marshall responded softly, and stepped out of the hotel door with Chun behind him.
Citrine Town during the day seems to be completely different from the town at night. If the night represents tranquility, then during the day it is extremely lively.
All kinds of speculators, traders, and crystal buyers flock here and then leave quickly. There is a perfect balance between the comings and goings.
Marshall couldn't help but have a smile on his face. With such a strong bodyguard behind him, he must feel very safe.
Marshall stared back at those surprised, slightly disdainful glances.
The orcs are not as ugly as others say, nor are they as barbaric as most people think. Anyway, the well-equipped Haru behind him is absolutely heroic. Look at the fierce flashing sword behind him.
Bar!
"Why did you choose me?" The first sentence between the two actually started with this.
Marshall couldn't help but have a bit of bounce in his step: "I like it, there's a good reason for it, right?"
"..." Chun was choked and speechless.
Marshall laughed and continued to talk to himself: "Let me think about it...because you are handsome, um, that's right."
What kind of reason is this?
While talking to Chun, Marshall opened the fund bag given to him by William and found that there were more than ten gold coins neatly arranged inside.
Think about it...one gold coin can be exchanged for twenty-five silver coins, which is 2,500 copper coins.
According to what is marked on the map, a bucket of water is worth thirty coppers, and wine is worth eighty coppers...
After doing some calculations, Marshall found that there seemed to be quite a bit left over.
Chun secretly glanced at the small bag in Marshall's hand and couldn't help but swallowed.
This money seems really much...and why the food sold around is so delicious!
Meat, meat...it's all meat! Delicious meat...When I was still in the tribe, meat was extremely scarce. Even if they could supplement their energy with vegetarian food, meat was always their
My favorite food, bar none.
Unfortunately, the place they were passing by happened to be a street selling meat and cooked food, so Haru had no choice but to tuck her tail between her legs angrily and carefully walk between the smells.
"By the way, where did you live before you came to the Orc Zone?" Marshall said while looking at the map and leading the way.
"I'm from the tribe." Spring said.
"Tribe? Do you have many tribes? All races live together?"
"No, we generally live together among the same race and have specific totem beliefs."
"Totem belief?" Marshall looked back with interest at Chun, who kept swallowing his saliva, and continued, "Then what kind of gods do you believe in?"
Chun's tone couldn't help but become a little more solemn: "Our ancestors, the wolf clan. They represent strength, agility, and wisdom."
"Then, will there be communication between different races?"
"Usually there are more conflicts." Chun Shi said honestly.
"So, how does it feel to be here? Compared to the original tribal life?"
Chun paused for a moment, as the scenes of his experiences replayed in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel angry. He had no choice but to suppress it: "The environment here is much better than Lubis. At least you can have enough to eat."
"Of course! If you think this place is good, you can bring people of the same race here to live together, like family members..."
This really touched Chun's sore spot, and the conversation was closed.
Marshall just thought that the other person was having a seizure, so he rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay much attention to him.
Since then, a rumor has spread rapidly in Citrine Town: a girl was shopping for supplies on the street with an orc attendant. The point is, the girl seemed to have a lot of money in her hands, and the orc was very strong.
It’s big and can’t be used up.
The purchase of alcohol and other supplies went smoothly. Marshall opened the bag, and Chun's job was to stuff buckets of alcohol into the bottomless pit-like rune bag. The seller was also very honest, and his bid was even less than the retail price.
One percent.
In fact, it is difficult to see the existence of orcs in the [Land of Desire] Sisig. Most people even see this half-human, half-animal creature for the first time. They are more curious about orcs.
, rather than hostility.
This was the third time Marshall saw someone ask her if she could transfer this servant to the other party, and her answer was always no.
"He is very unique, and I have a lot of fate with him." Marshall's expression was serious, as if he was talking about some national event.
But this tone was undoubtedly an unreasonable rejection, and messing around was not an option. Those people had no choice but to ask where they could hire such powerful orcs.
Marshall was willing to help the other party and said that all he had to do was find an orc who was willing to sign a contract and go to the local Orc Management Department to make the contract.
Most of the people who come to the [Land of Desire] are speculators and caravans. In their eyes, things that can create greater benefits for themselves are truly cute. As for the appearance of the orcs, they have completely forgotten them.
back.
When Chun heard Marshall's words, he secretly murmured in his heart. This kind of person who killed his own brother is absolutely untrustworthy.
The last item that Marshall needed to purchase was staple food. It included a variety of breads, meals, and supplementary grains like soybeans.
She quickly found the path, and her sore legs became lighter after walking for a long time. Behind him, Chun followed silently, carrying a bag that didn't look too big.
Marshall came to a relatively quiet grain store. There were not many customers inside, which was very suitable for large-scale purchases.
She quickly came to the counter, a smile gradually appeared on her face, she looked at the chubby shopkeeper on the counter and said hello.
Seeing the bread with [80 copper/50 kilograms] printed on the price tag, Marshall felt slightly relieved.
"Welcome, with the girl who is your unique attendant."
"Haha, I'm here to buy all kinds of staple food." Marshall went straight to the point. She was already a little tired now, "As much as you want. Could you please tell me the prices of various staple food."
"The price of bread is one silver and ten coppers per fifty kilograms." The shop owner said with a smile and a very kind tone.
"What..." Marshall quickly looked at the price tag behind the boss, "It's obviously..."
How is it possible! The wooden sign that was hung just now has disappeared without a trace!
Marshall quickly turned his head and looked at Chun behind him, wanting to ask the wolf-orc if he had seen anything.
But I found that the other person's eyes seemed to be discrete. In other words, he was in a daze...
