Pokemon phobia
Chapter 38
Tai Lun quietly left the sub-tower of the Sage Tower, walked through the quiet and winding alleys, and walked into the lively market.The market in this small border town is not very prosperous. Most of the people buying at the stalls are just some cheap daily necessities, such as enchanting equipment, magic materials, and monster leather armor. There is only one store in the center of the town. Can only be seen in specialty stores.
But Tyron didn't plan to buy those things at this time. The only magic supplies he needed were magic notes and magic ink, and at this time his notebooks had been left by him in the Sage Tower branch. There is no need to replenish the magic ink for the time being.
Tai Lun wandered aimlessly in the market.
Now the weather is getting colder, and the cold wind blowing from the northern glaciers makes all creatures who cannot bear the cold feel tormented.Tai Lun saw a lot of stalls selling thermal clothing in the market, and thought about whether to buy one for a while, and then quickly gave up the idea.
He himself doesn't need to keep warm, as for the priest... I heard that the standard robes of the Holy See of Light are warm in winter and cool in summer, so he probably doesn't need to worry.
According to his original plan, he had already taken Ange to continue towards the city of Berlandi. Unfortunately, that frail human being couldn't bear this high-intensity rush—probably because his posture was really uncomfortable.But he was unwilling to hold or carry An Ge.
Thinking of this, Tai Lun paused, turned around and walked towards the place where the carriage was rented and sold.He chose a cart with two short-legged horses and bought it for a gold coin.Originally, there were horse-drawn carriages in this kind of place, and the price was only about ten shell coins a day. The driver would drive the horse-drawn carriage to take you to any nearby city and return by himself.
However, what they were going to was the capital of the Bran Empire, which was separated by nearly a hundred towns.In other words, if he wants to rent a carriage all the way to the imperial capital, the money he will spend will be more expensive than buying a carriage, and it will be more troublesome.
Of course, this matter is not so simple to calculate, and buying a carriage is not done once and for all.Tai Lun is very aware of the problems: first, foreign horse-drawn carriages need to pay additional fees to enter the city, which is not a small expense; One-third of the journey will be exhausting; in the end, according to the map he saw in the study of Prince Chiloa, they will encounter at least eleven rugged areas that cannot be passed by horse-drawn carriages on the nearest route to the imperial capital. At that point they either abandoned the carriage or had to make a detour.
On the whole, it is much more cost-effective to rent a carriage.
But since Tyron chose to buy this broken scooter after knowing these things, of course it was because he had solutions to the above problems.
Tai Lun led the two short-legged horses back, thinking about how much he could use the remaining magic ink to inscribe the two inferior horses with magic patterns, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a street stall. Silver light flashed by.He turned his head and looked over, and what he saw was an ordinary fruit stand.
The middle-aged owner of the stall had no customers at this time, and was wiping a silver coin with his dirty linen bib with a satisfied face.
A smooth, new, shiny silver coin.
Taryn narrowed his eyes slightly.
"How do you sell your fruit?"
The middle-aged boss heard the voice and immediately looked over, only to see a tall young man covered in a snakeskin cloak standing in front of his booth.From the shadow of the hood, the boss could see a handsome face beyond the limits of his imagination, and a pair of light purple eyes were looking at him calmly.
The owner of the fruit stand was awed by his guest's naturally luxurious appearance, and subconsciously felt that he was a head short in front of this guest.He held back for a long time, and finally carefully quoted a super low price that some people couldn't get for a long time: "One shellfish coin and three green fruits."
When quoting this price, the boss silently prayed in his heart that this customer, who is not easy to mess with at first sight, would not buy too much—he managed to save a silver coin in savings. If he loses too much this time, their family will have to Back to the original state of poverty!
Tai Lun glanced at the green fruits on his booth, picked out three at random, and motioned to the boss to wrap them up.
The middle-aged boss heaved a sigh of relief, squeezed out a warm smile again, wrapped the fruit in burlap and handed it to Tai Lun. The next second he saw the money that Tai Lun handed over, but he was completely stunned!He trembling lips did not dare to answer: "You, you, you want to pay with gold coins?"
Tai Lun said concisely, "Change money."
The boss swallowed his saliva, almost crying: "Would you, or should I give you these three fruits? No money, you... I can't find it!"
Tyronn: "I have to pay. Forget it, just give me the money you can find."
The boss was trembling: "Really, really?"
Taryn gave a serious "hmm".
Five minutes later, the owner of the fruit stand looked at the only coin left on his body in a daze, took a bite carefully in disbelief, and then looked at the tooth marks left on the gold coin, his whole face turned red .
God!This is the first gold coin he has ever touched in his life!
On the other side, Tai Lun took out the charming silver coin from the shabby wallet of the fruit stand owner, admired it in the sun for a while, and put it in his wallet with satisfaction.After returning to the hotel, he threw the remaining bag of shellfish and three green fruits to Ange, which made the expression of the priest, who had been ransacked and penniless, very exciting.
"Thank you." Ange said helplessly, "I'm sorry for your trouble."
Tai Lun stared at him for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you eat meat?"
A few days ago, Ange didn't even want to eat the meat he roasted after hunting, but he picked some sour wild fruits to satisfy his hunger.
His actions reminded Tyrann of the strange high elf of the Shad.
Ange was startled when he heard the words, and then laughed: "Ah, I can't say that I don't eat it, but I don't really want to eat meat after seeing hunters slaughter wild boars."
Taryn looked at him without speaking.Anger then explained: "Seeing the appearance of that wild boar before it died, it hurts too much... Since then, every time I see the meat, I will think of that cruel scene, and I just can't say anything."
"Then you didn't stop them from killing the wild boar?"
"No." An Ge slowly wiped the green fruit with a handkerchief, and said softly, "I won't stop them."
"I've thought about this for a long time," said the priest in white. "Higher intelligent life hunts and kills animals for their livelihood, and carnivorous creatures will inevitably kill them. Even if they are vegetarian animals, the grass they eat may not be from corpses. Grow from above. So, should I stop them from doing this in the name of 'doing good'?"
"No, if I do this, I will persecute those creatures who live by hunting."
He said: "The rules of this world are like this, and no one can violate them. God tells us that we should be kind, help others selflessly, and guide and influence other beings, but don't all of these have to be based on our own strength? on the basis of
"So where does our strength come from? Doing business, collecting taxes, and confiscating the property of lawbreakers...these are all channels to strengthen ourselves. But in the process of these things, which one is not full of blood and oppression? More or less, is there a way we can avoid it?"
An Ge chuckled, and looked up at Tai Lun.His brown-black eyes are clear and gentle: "Since everything has to be like this, then why should I stop them from killing? All I can do is manage myself... I can't even manage myself. After all, I have to rely on my family’s money and power.”
Tai Lun frowned and questioned: "Then, don't these ideas of yours conflict with the ideas of the Holy See of Light?"
Ange smiled and said, "That's right, so I was driven to Greenwood Town by them before. Now I don't know if my family has made a big effort, so they agreed to transfer me back."
But Tyron didn't plan to buy those things at this time. The only magic supplies he needed were magic notes and magic ink, and at this time his notebooks had been left by him in the Sage Tower branch. There is no need to replenish the magic ink for the time being.
