"Four distinguished guests, you came to Old Cola's home in such a season. I wonder what it is. Has Old Cola's reputation for hospitality reached the ears of the four, and have you made a special trip to visit me, the lonely old man?"
A faint gray fighting spirit appeared on the sheriff's hand. His fingers squeezed open the mud seal on the wine jar. A mellow smell of high-quality aged ale wine spread through the oil paper, which spread throughout the restaurant. Some wine-eating guests sniffed greedily and their eyes shone. Obviously, they knew that this kind of aged wine was rare, but because the atmosphere here seemed not normal, they could only suppress the wine bugs in their stomachs and poured them into a large mouthful of inferior alcohol mixed with water in the cup in front of them, and felt boring.
"Oh, I didn't see that the old guy is a little tricky. He is still practicing fighting spirit at the low-level position of the local sheriff. This old guy is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface!" Feng Tie exchanged glances with Avril, and looked at Levitra, who was familiar with the situation here, and wanted him to speak first.
"That's it." Alida picked up the cup that the sheriff had just poured into a glass of fine wine, put it to the tip of his nose and took a deep breath, with an intoxicated look on his face, "It's really good wine, I, Ai, I have followed Master Xiao Ai for so long, and I have never seen such a fine wine. The years before were so fucking life!"
Alida, who had good wine, couldn't help but drink the fine wine in the glass at first. The sheriff then smiled and poured another glass for him. This time, Alida did not drink the whale and cow, but took a sip and let the strong fragrance of wine slowly melt away on his tongue. Then he said leisurely: "The sheriff laughed. First of all, please allow me to introduce our group. My name is Daolang, and the young man's face is Tiefeng. We are both the private guards of the magician Xiao Ai. Yes, the most personal guard, the doll Taosi is the magician's sister. This time we took the liberty to come here. As you said, it was for your reputation, because there are some things to go to Stone City and Beast City that need to be troubled. Here, only you are well-in-law and can agree to our request..."
"Oh my goodness, my friends, you are going to the territory of such a barbarian, but these two beautiful girls don't know what will happen in that dirty town. Please forgive me, I forgot that you are a great magician and don't even bother with those jumping clowns, but I'm still curious, what are you going to do in those two places?"
"That's how it is." Avril tried to make her voice sound arrogance as faintly as she could, just like those magicians who were above the top. "The magic I practiced encountered a bottleneck and needed to purchase a large amount of refined iron and iron ore to extract a special material assistance. Well, it's best to buy some finished weapons by the way. Those tempered blades can test the toughness of the light shield I released, that's all."
"That's it!" Levitra blinked at Avril in no trace, obviously appreciating Avril's superb acting skills. "Dear Sheriff, you know, the great magicians all have their own quirks, oh sorry, my master, I mean, the magicians' requests are very strange, just like this time, we had to come here in the wind and snow and war, with the purpose of buying some fine iron and weapons, but obviously unfortunately, we do not have a special license to do business in the Kingdom of Hart, and we stay in the deep forest for many years to practice, and there is no parchment that proves our innocence. I heard that Sheriff, you are a generous and kind old man, and I believe you will be happy to help us helpless lambs, don't you?"
Cola heard what Levitra said, and his gray eyes turned around on the faces of the four people. After pondering for a while, he slowly spoke: "It turns out that the things you need are very simple. As long as I have a handwritten warrant, I can pass through these two cities without any obstacles. But you must know that it is a war period, and a large number of homeless people and merchants who want to take the opportunity to make a fortune are pouring in here. Our monarch has strictly controlled such handwritten warrants, and I don't have many ways..."
"Is there no way?" Avril raised his face slightly, and a arrogant sneer appeared in his nostrils. "If the sheriff can point us a little way, we will get these two pieces of parchment at all costs. Believe me, I guarantee that we do have this strength with the personality of a magician!"
"Oh, beautiful lady, you're so careful. Old Cola didn't mean that." The sheriff's turbid old eyes flashed with shiny gold, and smiled at Avril, "Anyone with some common sense will know that magicians are rich people. As long as you move your fingers, those cute gold coins will flow into your pockets continuously. But now these warrants are really strictly controlled, and there is no way to get them. Since you have found me and believe in my ability, Old Cola may have to go out with this old face to try your luck. If you do well, you might get a few, but..."
The sheriff looked indescribable, took out a copper sack from his waist and threw it in his hand. The implication was self-evident.
"How much do you want?" Avril asked.
"It can't cost a lot of money, but I must first explain that Old Cola will not greed for even one of your copper coins. Although I am old now and my children are not around, only those golden elves accompany me through my miserable old age, so that I can feel better. However, I mean, this money is used to handle my greedy Shangguan. Old Cola will not get a little in the middle. Oh, are you asking about the specific price? I think, I personally think that four ID certificates and one business certificate only require, about one hundred gold coins, which is very cheap, right?"
"Oh my God, Mr. Sheriff, you're not kidding! How could it be so cheap?" Feng Tie stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly, "You know, before I served the female magician wholeheartedly, I had a promising profession. I think Mr. Sheriff might as well try it when he retires. Judging from your current methods of doing things, you will definitely be as good as a fish in water after you go!"
"What? What profession?" The sheriff could not adapt to Feng Tie's shocked style for the time being and asked blankly.
"Bandit! I used to be a bandit!" Feng Tie's face turned rosy because he was too angry. "It's just a few pieces of ragged parchment, and it costs 100 gold coins. Why don't you grab it?"
Seeing Feng Tie's excited appearance, the soldiers lined up at the door were nervously trying to surround him. The wooden handle of the battle axe dragged to the ground and made a chaotic sound of impact.
"No, no, you all retreat!" The sheriff drank the soldiers he brought. Seeing Avril's face was ashen and invisible, he felt angry. His jade hands placed flat on the table had already clenched his fists tightly, and his body exuded a compelling momentum. The sheriff suddenly remembered that he was dealing with a terrible, moody magician. He couldn't help but sweat soaked his back. He quickly took out an exquisite silk handkerchief from his arms to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Beautiful lady, dear wizard, I think you misunderstood what I mean. In fact, things are not as you imagined. I don't mean to blackmail you at all. Please believe in the honest old Cola. If such a warrant was worthless, I would have to issue any number of them. But now it is wartime. His Majesty the King has strictly ordered that iron ore and finished weapons be allowed to flow out at will. The business license certificates in the hands of those customers were specially issued in the imperial capital. Also, there are too many refugees now. Because they are afraid of spies infiltrating, those identity certificates have long stopped being issued. Low-ranking sheriffs like me are really powerless."
While wiping sweat, the sheriff explained quickly like a cannon in his mouth, for fear that the magician with a strange temper and arrogant personality would release some terrible large magic in anger and completely destroy his territory. After some explanation, Kola carefully looked at Avril's face, but he saw that it was no longer as ugly as before. The clenched fists on the table slowly stretched out. The sheriff then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh that he had encountered such a bad star for no reason. He could not beat him, but he could not fool him, which was really unfavorable.
"It seems that I will go to the girl's nest tonight to find a few gentle girls to comfort my trembling heart. Oh my God, my heart is almost popping out of my throat!" Old Cola thought to himself, but a humble smile forced out of his face: "Please forgive me for being rude just now. In fact, those proofs are not impossible. However, only the powerful ministers in the court are qualified to issue such a warrant. There are a few who I am very familiar with and can help you pave a way. I will ask you carefully how much it costs, but..."
The sheriff's face cried: "I really don't lie. Now I want to get the things you need, and I really need a lot of gold coins. The one hundred gold coins I just mentioned are indeed a little more, but not much. I think, I think, at least seventy or eighty, you can see it yourself when trading, the omnipotent elf god is here. I really didn't lie this time!"
"Is it right? Seventy or eighty?" Feng Tie pulled down the wallet at his waist, pulled the rope at the pocket, and poured the twenty elves silver horns he had just obtained on the table with a "slam" and said angrily: "The old liar who wants money is crazy about your heart. To tell you the truth, the old man only has such a little money on his body, and he still wants seventy or eighty gold coins. It's a fantasy. There are only so many, do you want love? If it really doesn't work, I can only use violence. Have you heard of black and black? Don't think you are cleaner than us. At worst, everyone will break up. We won't practice magic anymore. You still want to continue to be your Xiaoyao City Lord. Humph, there is no door!"
