Ruby's Otherworldly Adventure
Chapter 7 Nali's Thoughts
The morning sun was so clear, in the fragrance of the sun and the forest soil, Ruby stretched her waist, and sighed comfortably, even falling asleep on the hard bed was surprisingly pleasant after being tired.
Ruby shook her head, shook off the straw inserted into her hair, stood up, her stomach grunted in due course.
She took out the dry bread in the package and evenly spread a layer of applesauce on it. The originally dry and tasteless bread immediately became delicious, exuding a tempting aroma.The applesauce produced in the rune workshop not only has the characteristics of restoring physical strength and temporarily increasing attributes, but also tastes delicious beyond the limit of human imagination, probably because it contains magic elements.
The light blue apple flesh was loosely inserted into the surface of the bread, making the dry bread soft. Ruby couldn't wait for the taste to permeate. She ate the bread in a few mouthfuls, and finally licked the applesauce sticking to her fingers.
Ruby pushed open the wooden door and went out to breathe, and found that the body of the wind wolf was placed there intact, surrounded by a circle of people, but there was no sign of movement.This is also a matter of course, because this is Ruby's prey, and no one dares to touch it without her permission.
A fat businessman stood next to Wind Wolf, stomping his feet anxiously, his eyes lit up when he saw Ruby coming out, he leaned forward with a shy face, and said courteously: "Lord Ruby, this one What do you want to do with the wind wolf? The little one thought smugly, such a big wind wolf, it is troublesome for you to carry, why not sell it to me on the spot, the price given by the small one is very fair, and you will definitely not suffer."
Ruby was chilled by his flattering attitude, and the temperature in early spring was not very warm, which made her shiver.
Although the merchant said this for his own benefit, Ruby thought about it carefully and had to admit that what he said made sense.She is still very weak now, and she is afraid of being coveted by the strong, so she can't use the storage space in front of people, and can only carry the items she needs with her. Small items can be pretended to be put in the package in advance to cover up, like No matter how you think about such a big piece of wind wolf, it is troublesome.
Thinking this way, she agreed to the merchant's transaction request.
The fat businessman was overjoyed, he did the math, and he came up with a number. He asked Ruby, "How about two gold coins, not including the magic core? After all, I have to hire someone to deal with the wolf carcasses and transport them. They need money." Afraid that Ruby would think the price was too low, he explained.
Hearing what the fat businessman said, Ruby gave him a half-smile and agreed to the price.She knew that the businessman must have tricked her, who made her look like a rookie who came out to practice alone but didn't know the world, although she really didn't know about it.Fortunately, she still has enough travel expenses now, so she didn't care about the money, so she agreed to this obviously tricky deal.
However, Ruby still felt very emotional: she had sold the furs of more than 80.00 wild animals in the town before, but they were not worth half of the price of this one.This does not include the most valuable magic core. Generally, the magic core occupies more than [-]% of the price of the whole monster. It can be said that the essence of the monster is condensed in the magic core.Sure enough, hunting monsters is more profitable.
On the other side, seeing Ruby's suspicious eyes, the fat businessman gave a dry laugh. He quietly wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead. The eyes of this young professional were so oppressive that he almost told the truth.
However, the profit from this transaction is worth two gold coins. Even if she offends this professional, it is worth it. When she finds out the truth, she will not know where she has gone. There will be a chance to meet.
As for revenge?The fat businessman is still very confident in his eyesight - a person who can reach the level of a junior swordsman will naturally not care about a lot of wealth in the eyes of ordinary people. For the little money I earned, I just need to be careful not to bump into her eyes so that she can take revenge.
After the transaction, which was satisfactory to both parties, Ruby returned to the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.And the fat businessman yelled a slogan to attract people. He hired a few strong laborers from the tourists at the price of 2 silver coins each, and they worked together to dismember the wolf into pieces. Separate and open well.
The whole body of a monster is very useful, the meat can be sold to high-end restaurants, the teeth and bones can be used to refine medicine, not to mention the wolf skin, many wealthy nobles want to collect a wolf skin of a monster to display own noble taste.To be on the safe side, he also bought some salt from another businessman to better preserve the meat.
The salt merchant got up late, and felt sorry for the fat man who made himself miss the very profitable deal.Angrily raised the price of salt, and declared that he would like to buy it or not.The fat merchant didn't care about him, and bought salt at the increased price. After all, the money the salt merchant took advantage of was nothing compared to what he could earn this time.
As a businessman, the salt merchant naturally knew how preoccupied businessmen are with profits. Seeing Fatty being so forthright, he felt even more pained about the missed opportunities.
While the merchants were haggling over prices, the coachman was also at the ready.
The coachman counted the number of people and told those passengers who chose to stay and work that they could get off halfway, but after explaining that the fare would not be refunded, the carriage set off on the road again.
There were no accidents in the second half, and they arrived in Norman City smoothly.
At the gate of the city, the coachman reported the number of people in the car to the familiar city guard, and after paying the entrance fee, he drove the carriage directly into the city: the entrance fee was included in the fare, which saved the passengers the trouble of paying separately .
After arriving at the post station, the passengers got off the bus one after another. The young man who had satirized Ruby had no face to stay any longer, nor was he in the mood to flirt with girls. He ran away in a desperate manner, and soon disappeared.
In order to thank the two sisters Naminari for their help last night, Ruby offered to invite them to dinner, and they readily agreed.
Ruby came to Norman City for the first time (everywhere is the first time for Ruby), and she was not familiar with the situation here. Under the recommendation of Na Li, they walked to the commercial district in the east of the city and entered a family in the A popular restaurant among the middle class such as small businessmen and scribes.
According to Nali, the store sells a lot of items and the prices are relatively affordable.
Knowing that Ruby has newly acquired a huge sum of money, Nali is not polite to Ruby, because she is innocent by nature and can't play hypocritical things.
After consulting Ruby's opinion, she ordered a cup of the store's signature drink coconut milk for each of the three, then ordered two custard puddings, and handed the menu to Nami.
Nami smiled at Ruby, bowed her head and chose truffle beef and caviar, and passed the menu back to Ruby.
Feeling that the meat was almost enough, Ruby chose creamy mushroom soup and fruit salad, and finally ordered a piece of toast for each of the three as the main food.The waitress at the restaurant took down a list of dishes, put away the menu and left.
Coconut milk came up soon. Ruby drank the hot coconut milk and chewed the milky white transparent coconut meat. She felt her whole body warmed up. She held the wooden cup containing coconut milk and chatted with the two sisters. homely.
"Speaking of which, why did you come to Noah City? Although the city is more prosperous than the town, the cost will be much higher, right?" During the trip, Ruby learned that Nami and her family are relatively wealthy in the town, owning a 500-acre property. The land, which their father leased out to tenant farmers, lived off the rent.
The prices of items in the town are relatively cheap, and the same things are about 10% more expensive in the city than in the town, so Ruby can't figure out the purpose of the two sisters coming to the city.
"It's not because of our father's death." Nali said angrily: "The mayor said that women have no inheritance rights, so he took away our land, gave me a little money, and sent me and my sister away. Go to my uncle in the city."
Then she muttered unwillingly: "Isn't it because his son became the knight attendant of the Munger Knight? He felt that he had the confidence to bully us and have no one to support him. Even when his parents died, the daughter can also inherit the inheritance." of."
Speaking of which, Nami also showed a bit of sadness. She said melancholy: "We only met my uncle a few times when we were young, and we don't know if he will take us in. If my uncle refuses, Nali and I will really live together." There's nowhere to go."
After hearing their tragic experience, Ruby sympathized with the situation of the two sisters, but she couldn't do much about it, because she was a person who had to run around and take risks, so she couldn't run around with two delicate girls.
Ruby could only apologize and said: "Unfortunately, I can't help you much, because I will leave Norman City in a few days, and it is really useless."
"No, you can help us." Nali said anxiously, Nami seemed to know what she was going to say, her face turned pale, and she wanted to stop Nali, but it was too late.
Nali blurted out: "You can marry me and my sister as your wives. If you think our status is low, you can accept us as concubines. This will not affect your future marriage. As long as you can With such a powerful professional woman, no one would dare to bully us."
Now it's Ruby's turn to turn pale, she didn't expect Nali to have such an idea at all, she said dumbfoundedly: "If it's other requests, I can help, but I will never agree to this alone. of."
Nali asked: "Why didn't you agree? Aren't my sister and I pretty? Or do you not like me taking the initiative?"
Nami had already given up trying to stop Nali's impulsive behavior. She leaned her forehead to one side, thinking that fortunately Ruby is a good-tempered person. If she changed to another profession and heard Nali's blatant words, she would definitely give this to her. The girl who doesn't know what's good or bad will take a look.
Afraid of hurting the innocent Nali by saying something else, Ruby casually thought of an excuse and said perfunctorily, "I'm too young, I'm only 16 years old this year, and I haven't reached the age to marry yet."
Nali said relentlessly: "Sixteen years old is not too young. Men in the Kingdom of Brunei can marry wives at the age of 16. Do you think that my sister and I are older than you, and it's not new?"
Ruby was sweating all over her head, she thought what was going on, Nali's fighting power was too strong, she couldn't hold it at all, should I tell her that she is also a girl?But what if you hurt her?
Seeing Ruby's embarrassment, Nami felt that she couldn't let Nali continue talking. If Ruby was really annoyed, the scene would not be good. Nami reprimanded: "Enough is enough, Nali, stop making trouble. Don't look at Ruby with a good temper and you are so presumptuous." Then, she said to Ruby apologetically, "I made you laugh, but she was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Nali said dissatisfied: "Sister, I'm not joking, we can still be together if we marry Ruby together. You must know that uncle will not marry us to the same person. Do you think I'm stupid and don't want to be with me?" Marry together?"
After speaking, Nali realized that she had said everything that should be said and should not be said. She carefully looked at Ruby's face, for fear that she would get angry.
Only then did Ruby know why the sisters didn't want to go to their uncle's house. It turned out that they both had this purpose in the beginning, but they didn't know why Nami gave up this idea later.
As for being angry, it can only be said that she doesn't dislike girls' pure little thoughts, at most she is a little depressed.It may be that she lacks such a girlish heart, she even envies Nali's innocence.
Ruby shook her head, shook off the straw inserted into her hair, stood up, her stomach grunted in due course.
She took out the dry bread in the package and evenly spread a layer of applesauce on it. The originally dry and tasteless bread immediately became delicious, exuding a tempting aroma.The applesauce produced in the rune workshop not only has the characteristics of restoring physical strength and temporarily increasing attributes, but also tastes delicious beyond the limit of human imagination, probably because it contains magic elements.
