I've run out of money to protect Arad

Chapter 395 Absolutely Not Empty
"you're awake?"

Queen Skadi and Messer looked at Duan Chao with smiles on their faces. This smile made Duan Chao a little embarrassed. Why did he feel that these two girls looked at him with such doting eyes?

"Adventurer, you've helped us a lot this time—if the battle line is breached, I'm afraid not only the empire, but even the entire continent of Arad will be in danger, right?"

Duan Chao nodded. This is the truth. After all, those demons do not care whether you are the Delos Empire or the Principality of Belle Mare. They carry out invasion work on a world-by-world basis.

Queen Skadi looked at Duan Chao and said sincerely, "On behalf of everyone, I would like to express my most sincere and noble gratitude to you. Of course, as a person...also...also..."

Queen Skadi "also" for a long time, but in the end she still couldn't say what she thought in her heart.Her cheeks were flushed, her appearance was gorgeous, and her expression was three points shy, seven points shy.Not like the queen of a country, but like a little girl in love.

But it was only for a moment. She concentrated for a moment, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

As soon as the topic changed, Queen Skadi said to Duan Chao again: "By the way, the Magician Guild already knew about your return, and they are looking for you—although they don't know why, but they seem to have already heard about the news of your return." What happened, did the empire send any requests to the Magicians Guild?"

"What are they doing to me?"

Duan Chao also didn't understand what the Wizards Guild wanted him to do, but speaking of it, he had a good relationship with the two girls from the Magicians Guild, so Skadi continued:
"It's rare for you to come back here. Why don't you take a look at the west coast and treat it as a vacation, how about it?"

Seeing that Duan Chao was indeed attracted by the topic she raised, Queen Skadi breathed a sigh of relief secretly, but at the same time she was slightly disappointed, but of course nothing could be seen from the surface.

"West Coast..."

Speaking of which, the west coast is indeed not far from Hutton Mare. If you set off in the morning, you can arrive in the evening.

"It's already noon now, and you guys just came over from the Irwin line of defense, why don't you rest for a night and set off tomorrow?"

Duan Chao and Messer looked at each other and nodded, "That's fine."

Anyway, I am not in a hurry. If I want to go to the empire, I still have to start from the port on the west coast. Then I will rest for a night, recharge my energy, and leave tomorrow.

According to Duan Chao's wishes, just put him and Maisel in the same room. They are both an old couple and there is nothing to avoid.

But Messer, the arrogant, refused to agree to anything.

It was okay to say on the road before, but now that she has come to the capital of the principality, she always feels that she still has to worry about some influence.

In the end, Maiser was forced by Duan Chao to sign a series of unequal treaties, and Duan Chao agreed to sleep with Maiser in a separate room tonight.

In fact, having said that, these treaties are of no use.

Except for the very rare situation like now, Maisel has been trained by Brother Chao to be obedient. It can only be said that the power of love is really great.

That evening, Duan Chao stayed alone in the room assigned to him by Her Majesty the Queen, feeling a little bored.

In the past six months, during this period of time, he has been doing some favorite things with Maisel, but today, as soon as he and Maiser sleep in a separate room, he has nothing to do all of a sudden.

How about going out for a walk?
Trying your luck on the high streets of Hutton Mar?
Just do it.

Duan Chao came to Hutton Mar Street. Although it was already evening, as the capital of the Principality of Belmare, it was still bustling.

Duan Chao hadn't walked the streets comfortably like this for a long time, and walking on the streets alone at this moment felt like a world away.

It has been almost ten years since I came to the continent of Arad. Thinking about the past and the present, things are really different.

“Let’s choose one and see!”

Duan Chao, who was feeling emotional, was suddenly stopped.

This is a strange man wearing a can head. He grabbed Duan Chao and pointed to the cans on the floor and said, "Try it quickly, these are my treasures!"

How long has it been since you opened a can?

It seems that since a certain version update, things like jars have become the tears of the times. No wonder earth jars are now... or wooden jars?Cupping?Forget it, it’s all the same anyway, looking so miserable...

Seeing that Duan Chao seemed to be hesitating, Can Zitou introduced very enthusiastically, "There is absolutely no room!"

"Okay, then choose one!"

Since there were no empty ones, he wanted to see what could be opened.

Although he basically doesn't need any weapons, equipment and jewelry cards now, but he has never felt the feeling of getting surprises from the jar for a long time.

Soon, Duan Chao bought a jar with excitement, took a deep breath, and smashed it.

Next, it's time to witness the miracle.

Sure enough, the jar gave Duan Chao a huge surprise.

……

empty!

Nothing!

"Hey, didn't you say there was absolutely no room?"

Duan Chao was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, and questioned the jar head dissatisfied.

Then the can head gave him a classic answer:

"Hey...it's justifiable to have a free one once in a while!"

"Excuse me, your sister!"

Duan Chao is not the kind of person who can be fooled by a few words, snatched a jar from the jar head without saying a word, and smashed it in front of him.

empty!

Nothing at all!

Damn it, I met a profiteer!

Knock another one!
Empty again!

Come again!

Still empty!

"Is this what you said that it's justifiable to have an empty one once in a while?"

Duan Chao looked at the can head coldly and said.

"Thank you for your patronage, a total of [-] gold coins."

"You still dare to ask me for money?" Duan Chao looked at the jar head in surprise, "I have never seen such a brazen person!"

"Since you break the jar, you have to give money. This is the rule of our jar brothers!"

"What if I don't give it?"

Duan Chao crossed his arms and looked at the profiteer jar with interest.

"Then you have to ask our brothers (sisters) if we agree!"

This time, the one who answered Duan Chao was not the guy who sold him the cans, but the other four guys with the cans on their heads, oh, sorry, I read it wrong, it was five.

The last one is still a woman.

Seeing them surrounding themselves and gearing up, the people nearby ran away immediately.

While running, many people yelled such things as "I will bully honest people again", "profiteers are deceiving people", "the world is going downhill".

Seeing this situation, Duan Chao smiled.

"What's going on, are you still planning to do it hard?"

"That's right!" Mei Can, the only female member of Can Head, took a step forward, and said with her chest up, "No one in the entire Hutton Mar has dared to smash our jars without giving us money!"

"is it?"

Duan Chao was even happier when he heard her voice in a vigorous voice.

Mei Can only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and heard a crisp sound next to her ears, suddenly felt her eyes light up, and the whole world suddenly became brighter.

"I broke another jar, how about that?"

Duan Chao said with a sullen face.
