[Comprehensive] Jungle Epic

Chapter 25 Blood Ruby

Olivier is a clever elf, but that doesn't mean he can do anything.

The human world has human survival rules, and their life is very different from that of elves, which Olivier knows very well.

He has participated in several battles, small in scale but involved in many.Thranduil once taught him that human beings are a greedy race, they always hope to use the most efficient path to achieve their goals, but it is easy to go astray.But because of this, when humans are being bullied, it is a good choice to ally with them, because a large and diverse human group can always burst out with huge energy when oppressed.

But if they win, the elves will have to retreat in time, because humans often know best how to protect their own fruits of victory, which will damage the interests of the elves, and humans will not care about your feelings at all.

Olivier has always believed in Thranduil's words. Even though the elf king has a natural disdain for short-lived creatures like human beings, this kind of thinking will influence the elf king's opinion, but Olivier still obeys. Thranduil's suggestion.

For humans, stay away.

However, the smart elves have their own way to walk in the human world, and Olivier can gain benefits for himself while avoiding danger.

Olivier, who didn't change his hair color, used his long hair to cover his pointed ears, and his cloak to cover his slender body, but he used his face to gain the favor of a human woman.

Whether they are humans or elves, they all like gorgeous and beautiful faces, and there is no need to hide this at all.

Olivier didn't resist the approach of this woman, maybe she didn't look like a good girl, but Olivier trusted his hunch, his innate gift of prophecy let him know that this was an upright human being, so Olivier Levi would not refuse Maggie's approach, but he would not accept her request without reservation.

It's a bit expensive to risk yourself for a bottle of dragon's blood, and Olivier is still very sensible.

He looked at Maggie who was walking beside him with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "When we left just now, many people were hostile to me, especially the man with the brown beard."

"That's Jack, you don't need to worry about him, even without you, I wouldn't go to sea with them to die." Maggie waved her hand, her tone light.

Olivier lowered his hood and let himself be in the dark, but his voice was still calm and soft: "I think it's because they are envious of having the help of a beautiful girl."

"There's honey in your mouth, Al, has anyone ever told you that your voice is very gentle." No woman doesn't like to hear compliments, not to mention that Maggie is very confident about her appearance, these words are even more convincing. He feels happy.

Olivier shook his head lightly: "A gentle voice is not a compliment."

Maggie tugged on Olivier's sleeve, smiling brightly: "But for me, this is the advantage."

Olivier laughed. He knew that Maggie couldn't see his expression, but the elf prince still smiled.

He got an ally, a human ally, which doesn't look like a bad thing does it.

================================================== ===========================

Every city has some places that ordinary people don't know, such as the underground exchange that Maggie took Olivier to.

It is located at the end of a dark alley, where there is an unremarkable small restaurant, but when you walk into its basement, you will see a large hall with a bustling crowd inside.Olivier's dress here is definitely not a fancy dress, and there are many people who are more strange than him, which makes Olivier feel a little surprised.

"I want to know how valuable the things you carry are. You know, every merchant here has a different ability to take over." Maggie looked up at Olivier and said in a low voice.

Olivier touched the dragon's blood in the belt and said softly, "It's very valuable."

"Worth more than Mithril?" Maggie raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, it is worth a lot." Olivier smiled, "I can trade for a long time, and he can even become a golden mountain."

Maggie blinked her eyes, obviously she didn't expect Olivier to do such a big deal.This made the woman more cautious, looked around, with a melancholy expression on her face.But Olivier saw her change, stretched out his hand calmly, and gently held the woman's wrist.

When the slightly cold fingertips touched the woman's bare wrist, the woman suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Help."

Maggie pursed her red lips, and finally let out a breath: "Okay, okay, you win."

Olivier laughed, his voice low and pleasant.

Maggie grabbed Olivier's hand and dragged him quickly to the depths of the hall.

When he stopped, Olivier saw a stone platform, and there was an ordinary-looking man sitting there, holding a book and reading intently.Maggie leaned on the stone platform, stretched out her hand and tapped the table lightly: "Hey, Meier, I brought you a big deal."

Meier raised his head, looked at Maggie, then at Olivier, smiled and closed the book in his hand: "You can always bring me good news." Said, Meier stood up , said, "Tell me, what business do you want to do?"

Maggie glanced at Olivier, then walked straight to the side.

Olivier knew she didn't want to get involved, she was a smart girl.The elf directly took off the leather bag on his waist and put it on the stone platform without saying a word.

Meier took it with a smile, opened the top rope, looked inside, and smelled it.Immediately, the expression on the man's face changed. He clenched the leather bag tightly and looked at Olivier: "This is a good thing, buddy, may I know where you came from?"

"No." Olivier had that hoarse voice again, sounding unapproachable.

Meier didn't feel angry at all, and seemed to have expected this result: "Okay, okay, this is a good thing, let me think about it..." Said, Meier turned back to rummage in his box.Olivier looked over, and at a glance, he saw the big red gemstone placed in the corner of the box.

It was different from ordinary gemstones, it was as red as blood, and it looked beautiful even in the dark.

"I want that gem." Olivier said lightly.

Hearing this, Meier glanced back at him: "I didn't give this to someone casually, even that..." Meier raised his chin, "Then I'm at a loss. Dude, I don't do business that loses money."

"Add this." Olivier took out the box containing the dragon's scales and put it on the stone platform.

Meyer opened it excitedly, and grinned when he saw the scales inside: "This is good, buddy, this is really good." Saying that, he turned around and grabbed the fist-sized ruby ​​plug Into Olivier's arms, "This is yours."

Olivier didn't leave, but looked at Meyer calmly: "I think, I lost a little on this business."

"What else do you want?" Meier looked wary.

Olivier glanced at the pile of sundries placed beside the stone platform, and pointed, "Give me that white crystal."

Meyer turned his head to look and saw that what Olivier wanted was the white crystal, he had a relieved expression on his face, but immediately, he turned serious: "Hey, this is a very precious thing, In order to get it I had to..."

"Don't lie to me, my temper is not good." Olivier chuckled.

Meier suddenly stopped his voice, maybe those who can come with dragon blood and scales can't deceive at will.Anyway, he made a lot of money from this business, and Meier didn't hesitate, and gave the piece of white crystal to Olivier, and then laughed, with the shrewdness of a businessman: "If there are good things in the future, you can continue to give them to me. Always here, the price is fair and childlike."

Olivier looked at him, turned his head and left without saying a word.

================================================== =======================

After leaving the underground exchange, Olivier didn't want to stay any longer, so he led Gisey away.And Maggie followed him all the way to the edge of the town. In the deep night, the woman spoke softly.

"Al, you don't look like an adventurous person."

"I'm not." Olivier agreed bluntly. He is a traditional elf who likes to stay in the forest, and the outside world does not arouse his interest.

Maggie laughed, stretched out her hand, and gently touched Olivier's arm: "Then are you willing to try to stay here? I think any adventure needs an end, if you are willing."

This sentence is not cryptic, but straightforward, and Olivier is easy to understand.

Olivier stopped in his tracks, he turned his head and looked at Maggie from the hood, his face remained unchanged, and his voice was gentle: "I like you very much, Maggie, you are a good girl, but I don't think my family will Agreed."

"I'll make them agree." Maggie tilted her head with a smile.

Olivier reached out and touched Gisele's neck, and the black horse rubbed his hand.Olivier looked left and right, and found that this was the edge of the town, and there were no people in sight. He made a decision: "Maggie, I don't like women."

Olivier didn't discriminate, but compared with the long life of elves, human beings are too easy to age and die.Even if Olivier confirmed that he didn't hate Maggie, he couldn't take him back.

Show ada a human woman?The consequences were too beautiful for Olivier to imagine.

The elf wanted to take off his hood and expose his ears, so as to make the woman give up and find her happiness, but this action was interrupted by Maggie's exclamation: "Do you like...men?!"

Olivier was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't laugh or cry.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Maggie's voice continue, "God, that's how it is, no wonder you didn't respond to me." As she spoke, the woman's eyes looked at Olivier's lower body, and Olivier Even after living for thousands of years, he still met such a straightforward and undisguised look, which made his cheeks under the hood blush slightly.Maggie shrugged. The woman's temper is very free and easy, and she didn't hold any grudges because of it: "Dude, you should have told me earlier, I know quite a few handsome guys."

"...No, thank you for your kindness." Olivier would be an idiot if he didn't understand what Maggie meant at the moment, but Olivier didn't plan to explain anything, such a misunderstanding is always better than he explained It's much better to have your own ears lit up.

Maggie laughed heartily and generously: "Okay, let's go, Al..."

"Olivier," the elf prince pursed his lips, "my name is Olivier."

Maggie tilted her head, and her red lips curved slightly: "One of your names was exchanged for a busy night. This deal sounds like a bad deal."

After hearing this, Olivier didn't know that it was the woman's complaint. The elf's feelings for human women were always unable to figure it out correctly. He just thought it was because Maggie wanted to get compensation.So Olivier took out an accessory from his pocket, a leaf shining with silver light.

In the dark night, it looked a little inconspicuous, but he only had this thing to give away.

Before Olivier could say anything, Maggie took the silver leaf and put it in her arms with a smile: "Thank you."

Olivier smiled, nodded to Maggie, said softly: "Goodbye." He got on his horse and left.

Maggie watched him until the elf had disappeared into the night before turning back.

Maggie held the leaf and returned to the residence, a small room, which was a bit messy.The woman threw herself on the bed, buried her head in the pillow, and didn't get up for a long time.

But the short time was enough for the woman to heal her sudden sadness. She got up, lit the candle, and took out the leaf Olivier gave her from her bosom.

"Silver, how petty...wait... oh my god, this is..."

Under the candlelight, the woman held the leaf and her eyes widened.

"Mithril, this is Mithril!"

A windfall, yes, this one will be expensive, will give Maggie enough money for a lifetime.

But immediately, Maggie firmly grasped the leaf and put it in her arms, covering it tightly.

She's going to keep this, never sell it, absolutely.
