Chapter 1 Trust is the Benefit(1/3)

The wooden door has not been opened for an unknown amount of time, and the light from the outside shines through the insect-eaten holes.

until--

"Sir, you have found the right person! This house is the most magnificent building here! No matter what you use it for, you will definitely make a profit! Don't think it is dilapidated, but as long as you use it well

Decorate it, and the value will increase more than ten times or a hundred times! You will never lose fifty gold coins!"

"Ten gold coins. Your house looks so shabby from the outside. The renovation budget may be more than the purchase of this house. I only offer ten gold coins."

The young voice seemed a little cold, even a little uninterested.

"Ah? Ten gold coins? No, no, no, that's too little! I'd better take you in to see the internal structure. It must be worth every penny -"

"Ten gold coins. If you don't sell it, I will buy a house in the next town. It's cheaper than you."

"Well...but...how about ten gold coins...forty gold coins? This is the biggest house in our Pelican Town! You can't find such a nice house within a hundred miles!"

The childish voice sounded very sleepy: "Fifteen gold coins, one-time payment. And if life here is good, I can introduce more businesses to you. Otherwise, I will leave now."

"Haha, little brother, you are really good at business negotiation! Okay! From now on, we will all be neighbors in a small town, so I'm convinced!"

With a crisp click sound, the closed door was slowly opened.

With a gentle push of the young man's hands, the sun poured in from outside the door, filling the entire door hall, awakening the years that had lost their vitality for a long time, and filling this small world with the freshest air!

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Unfortunately, this first breath of fresh air didn't seem very friendly.

Ai Luo pinched his nose and was immediately forced out as soon as he stepped through the door. He covered the hat on his head to prevent it from falling off due to his coughing.

After the musty smell inside the house became a little "friendly", Ai Luo reluctantly walked in.

Nice house - if only talking about space.

Standing in the middle of the first floor, Ai Luo briefly looked around.

Just like its appearance, this house is a very old wooden house. The walls are covered with rotten wood, the floors are full of pits, and there are holes in many places.

This place may have been a tavern before. The wooden bar counter covered with cobwebs was covered with a thick layer of dust. There were a few chairs staggered in the corner. When I reached out and lifted them, the entire chair immediately crackled and fell apart. This made Ai

Luo was a little afraid to touch the wooden frame and table over there, for fear that if he moved even a little bit, the whole house would fall apart.

"Tsk, fifteen gold coins."

Airo touched his pocket, and there were eighty-four gold coins and some loose money in it. It looked like a lot, but he knew what the money meant.

With the sound of Airl's wandering footsteps, dust rose up and swirled in the sun. When his footsteps fell on a floor in the corner of the room, the hollow sound under the wooden board couldn't help but evoke Airl's excitement.

interest.

He took a step back slightly and swept away the dust on the floor. A tattered magic circle with a winged structure appeared in front of Ai Luo's eyes.

"Seal? Hmm...it looks a long time ago, right? The sealing effect...ah, it's opened."

The originally seamlessly connected wooden boards formed a downward hole with a slight push of Airl's hand. Airl waited at the entrance of the hole for a while to confirm that nothing strange came out before he took the bold step.

Look down.

Although he didn't understand magic, Airl read many public magic books in school.

It is true that there are many powerful seals that magicians use to attack others and imprison monsters, but there are also some seals that magicians use purely as door locks for safes. If this house really lasts that long, no one will break it.

Reason, maybe there is a treasure hidden down there that a certain magician forgot to take away?

When he thought there might be a treasure, Airl's eyes immediately lit up!

Holding his hat, he carefully walked down the stairs into the basement.

"Is this an abandoned wine cellar? Well, not bad. It can be used as a warehouse in the future."

The space in the basement is only half the size of the first floor. Looking up, you can see that several holes on the first floor have not affected this area. Several pillars made of rock have withstood the traces of time and supported the space from collapsing.

Arrow squinted and could only see some places near the entrance. But the sunlight seemed unable to fill the entire basement. He frowned and turned towards the stairs. He wanted to see if there were any candles or something upstairs.

Squeak——

The door to the basement was gently closed.

Ailuo was stunned for a moment. He tried to reach out and push, but he was surprised to find that the entire door panel could not be pushed?

I tried again, but the door panel that seemed to be easy to open just now is now as motionless as a wall!

"Ah."

The corners of Ai Luo's mouth turned up, and it had become a habit for him to smile when he encountered problems.

Just when he let go and thought about whether he should use the broken wine barrel in the corner to smash the broken door...

"Huh? Weird."

In the darkness, a ball of light suddenly lit up.

The light ball swayed in mid-air as if it was alive, slowly came to Airl's side, and circled around him.

The moment he saw this ball of light, Ai Luo's mind suddenly exploded! He felt a little nervous, but the smile on his lips became brighter.

Warcraft?!

So, this seal is not the door lock of some sloppy mage, but a sealing array used to seal a magical beast?!

"Huh? Are you scared? But why are you smiling?"

The ball of light seemed to be able to understand Airl's emotions in the darkness, but its voice sounded very boring, as if its interest in the human being in front of it was extremely low.

"A human with almost zero magical affinity, a weak body, and no special racial talents?"

The next moment, the light from the light ball began to spread on its own, illuminating the entire basement. It was at this moment that Airl could truly see the entire basement and the light ball clearly.

"So, why are you still laughing?"

When you encounter problems, you have to laugh. This has become a condensed experience of Airl's past life.

The more serious the problem is and the more intense the setback, the brighter your smile will be.

Because only by smiling, others will not know what you are thinking.

Only by laughing can you find solutions to problems.

"Are you... a cat?"

What appeared in front of Ai Luo was not the terrifying monsters that appeared in the museum illustrations, but a cat-like shape, but it looked smooth, slightly yellowish, floating in the air, and its ears and tail looked very slender...

cat?

"What kind of monster are you? I don't have it in the school's illustrated book -"

"Stop talking nonsense. Now is the time for me to ask you again. It's not time for you to ask questions yet."

The cat seemed to be in a bad mood, and its tone was lazy, but its big sapphire blue eyes were observing Aero very carefully.

If it is an ordinary Warcraft, then forget it, but for a Warcraft that is sealed by some kind of sealing array, the best thing for ordinary people to do is to obey and then find a way to leave.

Lucky for you! Ai Luo is the legendary ordinary person.

The cat flew around Airl several times, sniffing up and down with its nose. It looked from Airl's coarse cloth jacket to the hems of his linen trousers, and to the faded but cleanly polished large-toe shoes on his feet. Finally,

Only then was it suspended in front of Ai Luo.

"Take off your hat."

"Ah...ah?"

Arrow almost reflexively raised his hands to cover his hat.

"I asked you to take off your hat. Why are you hiding your beautiful hair? Can you take it off? Or do you want to resist me?"

"...Okay, I'll take it off."

The situation was stronger than the person. Ai Luo did not expect to receive such a blow just as he was preparing to welcome a new life. He slowly took off his hat, and his beautiful long golden hair with slightly natural curls fell from the brim of the hat.

The cat nodded and continued: "What's your name?"

"Ai...Ariel."

"Why do women dress up as men?"

"What's your name? Kitty?"

"I said! Now is the time for me to ask you, not for you to ask me!"

The cat couldn't help but become a little angry when it saw Arrow asking him questions again. It opened its mouth to reveal its fangs, and its body also vaguely emitted a dark and ominous black light!

However, Arrow has no magical affinity, so she cannot feel these lights. When facing this kitten, her past experience and education made her only respectful but not humble——

"You know my name, but out of respect, I can't call you a cat monster or something else, right? And as far as I know, you don't seem to be the monster recorded in the museum's illustrated book, so what method should I use?

To call you?"

If a warrior or a magician is not timid when facing it, then it would be understandable. But such an ordinary person is not afraid of himself?

However, this human girl's attitude towards him is quite respectful. And no matter how you look at her, she is an ordinary person and cannot pose a threat to him at all.

"Well, for the sake of your politeness, you can call me Napa. Now, answer my question, how old are you? Why do you dress up as a man?"
To be continued...
