Chapter 105 Money is Not Money at All
Cecil doesn't believe that no one in this world can solve the steering problem of a four-wheeled carriage. Even a half-assed guy like him can figure it out. There are so many people and so many geniuses in this world, how can no one solve it? This is not some profound problem.For this reason, he deliberately inquired around, and even went around Toto Port.
As Cecil thought, the four-wheeled carriage did not go to the magic model from the very beginning in history, and the initial magic four-wheeled carriage was not expensive, it was just a small improvement made by the mage who wanted to take a comfortable travel tool That's all.
As a result, the magic four-wheeled carriage became very popular, and various standards appeared, and even three carriages were hung up, and super-huge beast power was used instead, and things similar to trains appeared.
All this came to an end after the carriage firm was established.
Carriage companies claim that only "magic carriages" are orthodox, organize large-scale production and dumping, and at the same time acquire carriage-related industries everywhere, while those independent and small carriage manufacturers gradually disappear in the long river of history.Nowadays, there is no other business group that manufactures carriages other than the carriage firm, let alone research. A few years ago, someone seemed to have invented something that could make the bumps of carriages smaller, and this person disappeared inexplicably soon after. .
This kind of setting standards and not allowing others to change things seems to be very common in this world. It has something to do with the emergence of the god of civilization and the production of standards, and more is the desire to monopolize.
Cecil once asked the foundry's daughter, and learned that the act of mixing metal water for experimentation is actually not allowed by default, so her father played it quietly by himself, and more foundries didn't do it at all. If you don't have this concept, it's not that you can't think of it, but you won't think of it at all!
As for the flame goblins, those are lunatics. Of course, they don't consider whether they violate the rules or not. They only consider whether the fire is big enough.
This world has not solved the steering problem of the four-wheeled carriage. On the one hand, it is a problem left over from history, and on the other hand, the carriage firm is in the way. Carrot and stick, normal operation.
Cecil enthusiastically said to the middle-aged man who asked the price: "Of course, this car is for sale."
"It looks good." The middle-aged man looked around, and then got into the car to look, "Is this specially used to sell food and drink?"
"It's just that we use it for this." Cecil tried to make his tone smile, which was not easy, "You can modify it as you like after you go back, and we don't mind."
"Really?" The middle-aged man showed a hint of surprise.
All the four-wheeled carriages of the carriage firm are not allowed to be modified at will, and a modification fee must be paid, even if you spend real money to buy them back.
"Our vehicle is completely handmade. The frame is made of strong metal, and the cabin is made of burnt hardwood. This is a very strong material, comparable to metal." Cecil knocked on the car board, "Listen to this sound. "
"It's really good." The middle-aged man became more and more satisfied as he looked at it, almost beaming with joy, "Can I have a test drive?"
"Of course!"
The test drive went very smoothly. After all, there were a lot of four-wheeled carriages in the venue, but they still attracted some attention because the carriages were of different standards. There is no one place where Cecil's carriages are the same as the carriage firm.
Fortunately, the carriage firm does not prohibit others from making carriages, but the condition is that they are completely rebuilt from scratch and are not allowed to be remade on the basis of their carriages.On the other hand, the production of the four-wheeled carriage has also been approved by the temple, and the reply sent is very characteristic: Burst the chrysanthemums of the carriage firm, come on!
After getting a reply from the organization, Cecil couldn't calm down for a long time.
Back at the booth, the middle-aged man suppressed his excitement and asked, "So, what's the price?"
The moment of refreshment that Cecil was looking forward to came, and he said softly in an extremely pretentious tone: "Five thousand...gold coins."
The middle-aged man's smile froze on his face, and he said unhappily: "Five thousand nita is too expensive!"
Cecil said helplessly: "Please listen clearly, it is five thousand gold coins."
The middle-aged man frowned: "Please don't be joking!"
"I don't have any." Cecil said dumbfoundedly, "It's really five thousand gold coins, it's gold coins, gold coins!"
After repeating it three times in a row, the middle-aged man finally understood. After a moment of silence with a mentally retarded face, he said uncertainly, "Gold coins? Gold coins for a four-wheeled carriage?"
"Of course, the four-wheeled carriage, just this one, the one you were sitting on just now, with a metal frame, can turn smoothly and also has a mobile food and beverage sales department." Cecil said out in one breath.
The middle-aged man seemed confused: "But...the meat skewers you sell are all priced in nita."
"Yes, because I think these foods are much more precious than carriages." This is Cecil's sincere thought, "Eating magic food is simply a blasphemy against human taste, believe me, don't eat magic bread in the future, That's not something people eat at all!"
Now the middle-aged man was completely confused, he opened his mouth for a long time without saying a word, his expression kept changing, and he was so entangled, just when he seemed to be holding back his words, Cecil said first: "The car is definitely not Fault, you can find a magician to test it, the reputation of the Gay Knights is guaranteed!"
The middle-aged man stood there for a while like a log, and finally left after weakly dropping a sentence: "I, I'll go back and think about it."
After the seemingly traumatized man walked away, Langdon leaned over and said, "It looks like you're going to cause an earthquake."
"This is what I want." Cecil proudly said, "Just wait, he will definitely come tomorrow."
On that day, the three carts of dishes at the venue were sold out, which also attracted a lot of attention, not only because they were the only ones selling food in the entire venue, but also because the aroma of barbecue spread too far, and within [-] meters were all barbecues Taste is really unavoidable.
The same is true for the six floating carriages that set up "stalls" in the city. Except for one that was chosen in a remote place and few people passed by, the rest of the carriages were all clear, so the knights who had been busy for a day could also eat. A delicious hot meal.
After tearing off a bunch of grilled chicken skins, Cecil said, "Go shopping."
The knights made mournful voices one after another.
"Don't you want to? Come again?"
"Will it be sold again tomorrow?"
"If you don't sell it, I can eat it all by myself."
Cecil completely ignored the complaints, and said calmly: "I need to buy more chicken this time. The seafood is gone, so I can only make up for it with other things."
"Fortunately, I brought enough tea." Lan said, "You can buy milk here, but not tea."
"It's okay, it's really impossible to flush the original tea bucket again." Cecil said very unscrupulously, "Anyway, it's not hot this day, and no one has drunk the tea in the bucket, it's just a little weaker. We just put it One night, it doesn’t matter at all, you have to know my former boss, the meat was used half a year ago, and the milk tea is all broken tea leaves, soaked in a bucket for three days.”
That's right, as a working emperor, how could he not have worked in a snack bar, milk tea shop, barbecue shop, rice bowl, and spicy hot pot? Cecil's highest record is to run all the shops on a street, so that the The students in the university city mistook him for the owner of the whole street snack bar.
Langdon said helplessly: "This is not the main purpose of our coming."
"But it's really easy to make money!" Cecil threw down the string and sighed, "The income is three hundred nitas a day! Three hundred! Can you imagine?! How much we can buy Ebo!"
"Ebner is useless rubbish. It would be nice if it could be sold." Russell interjected, "It's Little Bills who should be laughing. With someone like you taking advantage of it, otherwise no one would buy it."
Cecil didn't comment on this remark, he bought everything anyway, other people's grass‖ his treasure, he regards other people's treasure as grass, such as a four-wheeled carriage.
Another busy night, although the knights complained about handling the food, they finished it conscientiously.Fortunately, Algea is the capital of the magic country after all, and there is no such thing as being empty at night. Not only are there magic lights on both sides of the street that stay on all night, but the sky garden will also be lit up with stars and stars, which are brighter than the moon. Conspicuous, even by Cecil's earth standards, this is a veritable city that never sleeps.
Until midnight, the busy knights went to the nearby bathrooms to take a bath and rest in twos and threes. Although the front desk of the hotel repeatedly promoted the "cold bath" on the roof, no one liked to be hit by the fish raising water.Cecil is very pleased with the bathroom trend she's started, and certainly wouldn't mind trying it out.
Since he made a lot of money during the day, Cecil announced a treat, and the knights unceremoniously ordered a full set. Except for some "extra items", they had to keep a low profile outside. The knights were quite self-aware, but their existence Often attracts unwanted attention.
Cecil was on his way to the restaurant in the bathroom when he overheard the chatter of two passing ladies.
"He must be looking at me, the black-haired one keeps staring at my breasts!"
"Come on, your boobs can't even feed a rabbit! The black hair is actually looking at my face, I learned a new makeup look today!"
"Hey, please show some face! Your face is as black as a deep well at night!"
"This is the latest foundation! Add magic powder, look, does it shimmer?"
Cecil walked to the dining room silently, and saw the two knights staring at a pile of magic bread carved into different shapes in a daze.
"Did you see the two ladies on the way here?" Cecil asked curiously.
"We definitely didn't do it on purpose!" The two knights said immediately.
"No, I don't mean to condemn, and it's not O'Casey." Cecil wanted to laugh, but held back, "I just heard them talking about you."
"Yes." A black-haired knight hesitated, and said, "There is a lady with a beautiful necklace, and I want it too, so I took a second look."
Gay knights are knights anyway, unless they are wearing formal dresses, they are not allowed to wear any jewelry unless necessary, mainly because it is very inconvenient during battle.
"I think it looks pretty too." Another knight said, "That blond hair is heavily powdered, have you seen it? I can't bear it, these women will never understand the importance of natural makeup!"
"That's right, what do you think of me?"
"Excellent, sweetie! It's completely invisible, very natural, and the scars in the corners of your eyes are gone!"
"I learned a new way to cover up, come to my room and try it later, I bought a new foundation here!"
"it is good."
Cecil finished listening silently, and apologized to the two ladies in his heart: The man you like doesn't admire your attire, but wants to dress up by himself, give up.
The next day was still sunny and sunny, and Cecil went to the venue again with a cart full of dishes in high spirits. In fact, it was quite boring to say that they were short of manpower, so they couldn’t go to other booths, so they came to fight. Seven days' work, but it's good to make money.
"You have to pay attention, don't collect the wrong money today, there must be a lot more people." Langdon leaned closer to Cecil's ear and said.
Cecil took out a fluorescent ball from his body, and the fog inside was constantly changing. The fog in this ball is not full, which means that it is less than one nita. The two balls can be converted into "changes" by pressing the upper and lower positions together. The ball has been made special The processing is divided into ten grids. When one grid is full, it will automatically stop for two seconds. If you want to continue to pay, just continue to connect the two balls together.
"What the hell is in this?" Cecil asked.
"Magic energy." Langdon said.
Cecil was a little surprised and said: "This is mana? That means, the money has practical uses?"
"Yes." Langdon said inexplicably, "Why, have you ever seen money that has no practical use?"
"Uh, the money in my hometown is all useless. It's just a piece of paper with beautiful patterns printed on it. It's just that the money is issued by a state agency, so the value of the money is actually guaranteed by the state's credit." Cecil explained that he was too lazy to care about the status of time travel in front of Langdon.
"Oh—" Langdon groaned, "This kind of money has also been issued by a country in history."
Cecil asked curiously, "How?"
"It seems to have been running for a while, and then a magician copied the exact same money. After that, no matter how the country reformed the coins, the magician could copy them, and then the country's credit went bankrupt." Langdon said, "The money was made with a special coin. It seems that some people use that kind of money as mattresses, but now it has become a rare collection, and the value is not bad."
Cecil couldn't help but sigh a little, it really doesn't matter if you copy it mechanically.
"Is magic impossible to imitate?" Cecil asked.
Langdon gave a subtle look: "As long as the magic energy can work, so what if it is imitated?"
Cecil: "..."
Stupid!
"But this thing is too inconvenient to store or use." A lot of time was spent yesterday collecting and changing money, which is really annoying. "It would be much better to make it flat."
"Some magic coins are flat. Nita is just proud of their hanging garden, so they made it like this." Langdon said.
"Who would like to use something that doesn't consider the user experience at all!"
As soon as Cecil finished complaining, he received Langdon's teasing look, and silently closed his mouth.
MMP, no matter how difficult it is to use, you have to use it!
Before the carriage was in place, the crowd had surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and the carriage almost couldn't get in.Cecil regretted that he didn't bring some branches to make that kind of curved queuing railing. Fortunately, the quality of the buyers was really good, and he took the initiative to line up when he saw a lot of people, but this occupied a large public area, because these People actually lined up straight.
The expo venue is already very spacious, and the distance between the booths is more than ten meters, which is not enough at the moment.
Seeing the impatience on the faces of the people queuing up, Cecil immediately stopped Langdon and said, "Is there any paper? Write a number to these people, and they can go shopping elsewhere after picking up the number." , and then we put a number on the top of the carriage and shout for them to come."
Langdon quickly collected the money and said, "I asked someone to buy a magic calling stamp. After the stamp is stamped, we can contact at close range. As long as we destroy the stamped things at hand, the customer will glow, and you will know gone."
Cecil thought for a while, and felt that it was very suitable: "That's just right, we have toilet paper!"
"Yes." Langdon laughed, "It's quite distressing to tear up other things."
The two cheerfully asked someone to buy a magic seal, and covered the back of the customer's hand with a piece of paper. After covering the paper and the skin, the seal would appear at the same time. As long as the paper was torn off, the seal on the customer's hand would disappear Glows, then fades away.
Cecil thought for a while, but didn't understand the purpose of this thing: "What is this thing for?"
"Prevent children from getting lost." Langdon said while experimenting with stamping, "It can cooperate with the spell, and it will glow when it exceeds a certain distance. We just don't need to set the distance."
Cecil couldn't figure it out: "How to use it?"
Langdon took Cecil's hand and pressed it, and stamped on the back of his own hand. After moving away, a stamp appeared on the back of Cecil's hand below.
Cecil: "..."
I don't understand this magic's judgment on "layer" at all!
The customers welcomed the stamping very much, and they all left after finishing the stamping. A large open space was immediately cleared in front of the carriage stall, and Cecil felt a lot more relaxed mentally, roasting the gluten—the gluten seller was not lying, this The gluten made out of the flour is sadly hard - watching the knots in the booth next to it twist and turn, it's leisurely.
The middle-aged man who inquired about the carriage yesterday appeared earlier than expected. This time he brought two men who looked very similar, probably brothers or something.
"Good day, Mr. Knight." The middle-aged man greeted first.
"Good day, sir." Cecil cheered up and said, "Are you ready to buy a carriage?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man seemed to have made up his mind, "If it is really five thousand gold coins, I need you to promise something."
Cecil was about to laugh, but unfortunately, he couldn't. He said in a sarcastic tone, "My carriage is cheap, right? You guys are so picky and suspicious because it's so cheap. It's really not pleasant. deal."
The three middle-aged people all showed embarrassment.
"Because it's too cheap!" Ask Mr. Price firmly, "You also understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so how can there be cheap products for no reason?"
"It's not for nothing." Cecil said innocently, "This is not a magic carriage, of course it's cheap."
The middle-aged man suddenly showed a shocked expression, and a man with curly hair next to him yelled, "What did I say! You really are a liar!"
"Where did I lie to you?" Cecil said calmly, "This gentleman took a test drive yesterday. Is there any problem?"
The middle-aged man was stuck with his mouth open, and stammered under the gaze of his brothers: "Indeed, there is nothing wrong with it, it can run, walk and turn, just, just like a carriage."
"That's right, it's the same as a four-wheeled carriage." Cecil felt as if he had drunk honey, "This is not a magic four-wheeled carriage, so isn't five thousand gold coins a very suitable price?"
The three middle-aged people looked at each other for a while, and then disappeared into the crowd in an instant after saying "Let's discuss and discuss."
Cecil turned around triumphantly, meeting Langdon's meaningful eyes.
"What?"
"Don't play too much, I know you are very happy to defeat the magic, but this kind of thing can easily cause unexpected disturbances."
I care so much!
Cecil thought to himself, and said, "Got it."
Alas, I am soft-hearted when facing male gods.
The turmoil Langdon predicted appeared in the evening when the stalls closed, and a group of people rushed over aggressively. The three middle-aged people from the daytime were among them, looking panicked.
Cecil also became a little nervous, and ordered the other knights to quickly end their operations, close the horizontal window on the carriage, and gather together.
"What's the matter, gentlemen?" Langdon never flinched at critical moments, and stood up directly.
Cecil was depressed and hurried over, standing in front of Langdon: "What are you doing?"
The leader was not human at all. He was more than two meters tall, with scales all over his arms and cheeks, and his pupils were like snakes. He spoke dully: "I heard that you sell carriages here?"
"Yes." Cecil sighed.
"Isn't it a magic four-wheeled carriage?" The snake man said viciously.
"Yes." Cecil continued to hold his breath.
"Five thousand gold coins?"
"Yes!"
"How many cars are there?"
"How much do you want?"
"As much as you want!"
"..."
This turning point came too fast, Cecil didn't react for a while, and he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth.
The snake man probably misunderstood, he dug his hands with nails and scales in his bosom, and took out... a huge bag.
Having seen Dali take out something naked, Cecil will not make a fuss now.
"One hundred thousand gold coins, is that enough?" said the snake man.
Cecil stared at the huge bag that was about the same height as him, and regretted not accepting magic coins.
"Too many, we don't have so many carriages." Langdon said calmly after seeing the big scene.
"It's okay, I'll give you the ones you have more, anyway, it's gold coins." The snake man said indifferently, but still had a vicious tone.
"Wait a minute!" A woman with beautiful hair squeezed out of the crowd, glared at the snake man and said, "Why do you buy them all?!"
"I'll pay first." The snake man lowered his voice and made a hissing sound.
"I can do it too!" The woman took out a long bag from her chest. It was so long that it was coiled up on the ground. She dragged it for 5 minutes and didn't finish it. She said while pulling, "13 gold coins ! I take care of everything!"
"Fuck, don't you do it too?!"
"The old lady is happy!"
Cecil was thinking about how to quell this pleasant dispute, when he yelled: "The people from the carriage firm are here!"
As Cecil thought, the four-wheeled carriage did not go to the magic model from the very beginning in history, and the initial magic four-wheeled carriage was not expensive, it was just a small improvement made by the mage who wanted to take a comfortable travel tool That's all.
As a result, the magic four-wheeled carriage became very popular, and various standards appeared, and even three carriages were hung up, and super-huge beast power was used instead, and things similar to trains appeared.

When one grid is full, it will automatically stop for two seconds. If you want to continue to pay, just continue to connect the two balls together.
"What the hell is in this?" Cecil asked.
"Magic energy." Langdon said.
Cecil was a little surprised and said: "This is mana? That means, the money has practical uses?"
"Yes." Langdon said inexplicably, "Why, have you ever seen money that has no practical use?"
"Uh, the money in my hometown is all useless. It's just a piece of paper with beautiful patterns printed on it. It's just that the money is issued by a state agency, so the value of the money is actually guaranteed by the state's credit." Cecil explained that he was too lazy to care about the status of time travel in front of Langdon.
"Oh—" Langdon groaned, "This kind of money has also been issued by a country in history."
Cecil asked curiously, "How?"
"It seems to have been running for a while, and then a magician copied the exact same money. After that, no matter how the country reformed the coins, the magician could copy them, and then the country's credit went bankrupt." Langdon said, "The money was made with a special coin. It seems that some people use that kind of money as mattresses, but now it has become a rare collection, and the value is not bad."
Cecil couldn't help but sigh a little, it really doesn't matter if you copy it mechanically.
"Is magic impossible to imitate?" Cecil asked.
Langdon gave a subtle look: "As long as the magic energy can work, so what if it is imitated?"
Cecil: "..."
Stupid!
"But this thing is too inconvenient to store or use." A lot of time was spent yesterday collecting and changing money, which is really annoying. "It would be much better to make it flat."
"Some magic coins are flat. Nita is just proud of their hanging garden, so they made it like this." Langdon said.
"Who would like to use something that doesn't consider the user experience at all!"
As soon as Cecil finished complaining, he received Langdon's teasing look, and silently closed his mouth.
MMP, no matter how difficult it is to use, you have to use it!
Before the carriage was in place, the crowd had surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and the carriage almost couldn't get in.Cecil regretted that he didn't bring some branches to make that kind of curved queuing railing. Fortunately, the quality of the buyers was really good, and he took the initiative to line up when he saw a lot of people, but this occupied a large public area, because these People actually lined up straight.
The expo venue is already very spacious, and the distance between the booths is more than ten meters, which is not enough at the moment.
Seeing the impatience on the faces of the people queuing up, Cecil immediately stopped Langdon and said, "Is there any paper? Write a number to these people, and they can go shopping elsewhere after picking up the number." , and then we put a number on the top of the carriage and shout for them to come."
Langdon quickly collected the money and said, "I asked someone to buy a magic calling stamp. After the stamp is stamped, we can contact at close range. As long as we destroy the stamped things at hand, the customer will glow, and you will know gone."
Cecil thought for a while, and felt that it was very suitable: "That's just right, we have toilet paper!"
"Yes." Langdon laughed, "It's quite distressing to tear up other things."
The two cheerfully asked someone to buy a magic seal, and covered the back of the customer's hand with a piece of paper. After covering the paper and the skin, the seal would appear at the same time. As long as the paper was torn off, the seal on the customer's hand would disappear Glows, then fades away.
Cecil thought for a while, but didn't understand the purpose of this thing: "What is this thing for?"
"Prevent children from getting lost." Langdon said while experimenting with stamping, "It can cooperate with the spell, and it will glow when it exceeds a certain distance. We just don't need to set the distance."
Cecil couldn't figure it out: "How to use it?"
Langdon took Cecil's hand and pressed it, and stamped on the back of his own hand. After moving away, a stamp appeared on the back of Cecil's hand below.
Cecil: "..."
I don't understand this magic's judgment on "layer" at all!
The customers welcomed the stamping very much, and they all left after finishing the stamping. A large open space was immediately cleared in front of the carriage stall, and Cecil felt a lot more relaxed mentally, roasting the gluten—the gluten seller was not lying, this The gluten made out of the flour is sadly hard - watching the knots in the booth next to it twist and turn, it's leisurely.
The middle-aged man who inquired about the carriage yesterday appeared earlier than expected. This time he brought two men who looked very similar, probably brothers or something.
"Good day, Mr. Knight." The middle-aged man greeted first.
"Good day, sir." Cecil cheered up and said, "Are you ready to buy a carriage?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man seemed to have made up his mind, "If it is really five thousand gold coins, I need you to promise something."
Cecil was about to laugh, but unfortunately, he couldn't. He said in a sarcastic tone, "My carriage is cheap, right? You guys are so picky and suspicious because it's so cheap. It's really not pleasant. deal."
The three middle-aged people all showed embarrassment.
"Because it's too cheap!" Ask Mr. Price firmly, "You also understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so how can there be cheap products for no reason?"
"It's not for nothing." Cecil said innocently, "This is not a magic carriage, of course it's cheap."
The middle-aged man suddenly showed a shocked expression, and a man with curly hair next to him yelled, "What did I say! You really are a liar!"
"Where did I lie to you?" Cecil said calmly, "This gentleman took a test drive yesterday. Is there any problem?"
The middle-aged man was stuck with his mouth open, and stammered under the gaze of his brothers: "Indeed, there is nothing wrong with it, it can run, walk and turn, just, just like a carriage."
"That's right, it's the same as a four-wheeled carriage." Cecil felt as if he had drunk honey, "This is not a magic four-wheeled carriage, so isn't five thousand gold coins a very suitable price?"
The three middle-aged people looked at each other for a while, and then disappeared into the crowd in an instant after saying "Let's discuss and discuss."
Cecil turned around triumphantly, meeting Langdon's meaningful eyes.
"What?"
"Don't play too much, I know you are very happy to defeat the magic, but this kind of thing can easily cause unexpected disturbances."
I care so much!
Cecil thought to himself, and said, "Got it."
Alas, I am soft-hearted when facing male gods.
The turmoil Langdon predicted appeared in the evening when the stalls closed, and a group of people rushed over aggressively. The three middle-aged people from the daytime were among them, looking panicked.
Cecil also became a little nervous, and ordered the other knights to quickly end their operations, close the horizontal window on the carriage, and gather together.
"What's the matter, gentlemen?" Langdon never flinched at critical moments, and stood up directly.
Cecil was depressed and hurried over, standing in front of Langdon: "What are you doing?"
The leader was not human at all. He was more than two meters tall, with scales all over his arms and cheeks, and his pupils were like snakes. He spoke dully: "I heard that you sell carriages here?"
"Yes." Cecil sighed.
"Isn't it a magic four-wheeled carriage?" The snake man said viciously.
"Yes." Cecil continued to hold his breath.
"Five thousand gold coins?"
"Yes!"
"How many cars are there?"
"How much do you want?"
"As much as you want!"
"..."
This turning point came too fast, Cecil didn't react for a while, and he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth.
The snake man probably misunderstood, he dug his hands with nails and scales in his bosom, and took out... a huge bag.
Having seen Dali take out something naked, Cecil will not make a fuss now.
"One hundred thousand gold coins, is that enough?" said the snake man.
Cecil stared at the huge bag that was about the same height as him, and regretted not accepting magic coins.
"Too many, we don't have so many carriages." Langdon said calmly after seeing the big scene.
"It's okay, I'll give you the ones you have more, anyway, it's gold coins." The snake man said indifferently, but still had a vicious tone.
"Wait a minute!" A woman with beautiful hair squeezed out of the crowd, glared at the snake man and said, "Why do you buy them all?!"
"I'll pay first." The snake man lowered his voice and made a hissing sound.
"I can do it too!" The woman took out a long bag from her chest. It was so long that it was coiled up on the ground. She dragged it for 5 minutes and didn't finish it. She said while pulling, "13 gold coins ! I take care of everything!"
"Fuck, don't you do it too?!"
"The old lady is happy!"
Cecil was thinking about how to quell this pleasant dispute, when he yelled: "The people from the carriage firm are here!"
