Gold coin is justice

The wooden door hasn't been opened for an unknown period of time, and the worm-eaten hole reflects the light from outside.

until--

"Mr., you have found the right person! This house is the most magnificent building in our place! No matter what you buy it for, it won’t lose money! Don’t look at it dilapidated, but just take it well Renovate, the appreciation will be more than ten times a hundred times! Fifty gold coins, you will definitely not lose!"

"Ten gold coins. Your house looks so dilapidated from the outside. The budget for decoration may be more than that of buying this house. I only give out ten gold coins."

The immature voice seemed a little cold and even a little bit of interest.

"Ah? Ten gold coins? No, no, no, that's too little! I'll take you in to see the internal structure, it must be worth the money—"

"Ten gold coins. If you don't sell them, I will buy a house in the next town. They are cheaper than you."

"Um... but... ten gold coins... forty gold coins? This is the largest house in Pelican Town! You can't find such a good house within a hundred miles!"

The childish voice seemed very sleepy: "Fifteen gold coins, paid in one lump sum. And if life is good here, I can introduce more business to you. Otherwise, I will leave now."

"Haha, brother, you are really good at business talks! Okay! From now on, you will be neighbors in a small town, so I will serve you!"

Accompanied by a crisp clicking sound, the closed door was slowly opened.

With a gentle push of the young man's hands, sunlight poured in from the door, filling the entire hall, awakening the years that have lost vitality for a long time, and filling this small world with the freshest air!

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Unfortunately, this first breath of fresh air doesn't seem very friendly.

Ai Luo pinched his nose, and was forced out as soon as he stepped into the door.He was holding the hat on his head so as not to fall off because of his cough.

After the musty smell in this house was a little "friendly", Airo reluctantly walked in.

The house is nice-if it's just about space.

Standing in the middle of the first floor, Ai Luo briefly looked around.

Like its appearance, this house is a very old wooden house.The walls were covered with rotten wood, the floors were pitted, and there were holes in several places.

This place may have been a pub before. The wooden bar counter covered with cobwebs was covered with a thick layer of dust. There were a few chairs slopingly placed in the corner. When you reached out your hand, the whole chair snapped away.This made Airo dare not touch the wooden frame and table over there anymore, for fear that the whole house would fall apart just a little bit.

"Tsk, fifteen gold coins."

Ai Luo touched his pocket, there were still eighty-four gold coins and some scattered money in it.Looked a lot, but he knew what the money meant.

With the sound of Ai Luo's wandering footsteps, the dust rose up and swirled in the sun.When his steps fell on a floor in the corner of the room, the hollow sound under the wooden board couldn't help but aroused Airo's interest.

He took a step back a little, sweeping away the dust on the floor a little.A winged structure, but a dilapidated array appeared in front of Airo.

"The seal? Hmm...it looks like it's a long time ago? The effect of the seal...ah, it's opened."

The wooden planks that were originally seamlessly connected with Airo's hand gently pushed, forming a downward hollow.Ai Luo waited for a while at the entrance of the cave, and after confirming that nothing weird had rushed out, he boldly looked down.

Although he didn't understand magic, Ai Luo didn't read those public magic books less in school.

There are indeed many powerful seals used by magicians to attack others and imprison monsters, but some seals are purely used by magicians as a safe door lock.If this house really lasted for so long and no one took care of it, maybe there is a treasure hidden underneath that the magician forgot to take away?

At the thought that there might be treasures, Ai Luo's eyes flashed!

He clutched his hat and carefully followed the stairs into the basement.

"This is an abandoned wine cellar? Well, yes, it can be used as a warehouse in the future."

The space in the basement was almost half the size of the first floor. Looking up, the holes in the first floor didn't even affect it.Several pillars made of rocks have survived the traces of the years, supporting this space not to collapse.

Ai Luo squinted and could only see some places near the entrance.But the sunlight seemed unable to fill the entire basement. He frowned and turned to the stairs.I want to see if there are any candles upstairs.

Squeak

The door to the basement closed gently.

Ai Luo was shocked, he tried to reach out and push, but he was surprised to find that the entire door panel could not be pushed?

Try again, but the door panel that seemed to be easy to open just now is not moving like the same wall!

"Ah."

Airo's mouth turned up, and it has become a habit of him to keep smiling when encountering problems.

Just when he let go of his hand, thinking whether he should use the broken wine barrel in the corner to smash the broken door...

"Huh? Strange."

In the darkness, a ball of light suddenly lit up.

The ball of light swayed in mid-air as if it had life, slowly came to Ai Luo's side, and circled him.

The moment he saw this ball of light, Ai Luo's brain suddenly exploded!He felt a little nervous, but the smile on the corner of his mouth looked brighter.

Warcraft?!

So, isn't this seal a door lock of a sloppy mage, but a seal array used to seal a monster?!

"Huh? Are you scared? But why are you smiling?"

The ball of light seemed to be able to experience Airo's emotions in the dark, but its voice sounded very boring, and it seemed that the interest in the human being in front of him was extremely low.

"A human with almost zero magic affinity, weak body, and no special racial talent?"

In the next moment, the light on the ball of light began to spread out on its own, illuminating the entire basement.It was at this moment that Ai Luo could really see the whole picture of the basement and the ball of light.

"So, why are you still laughing?"

When you encounter problems, laugh.This has become a condensed experience in Airo's past life.

The more serious the problem and the stronger the frustration, the brighter you will smile.

Because only smile, no one else will know what you are thinking.

Only by laughing can you find a solution to the problem.

"Are you... a cat?"

What appeared in front of Airo was not the horror monsters that appeared in the museum's illustrated book, but a cat that looked like a cat, but appeared smooth, slightly yellowish, floating in the air, and its ears and tail looked very slender... Cat?

"What kind of Warcraft are you? I don't have it in the school's museum picture book—"

"Don't talk so much nonsense, it's time for me to ask you again, it's not time for you to ask questions."

The cat didn't seem to be in a good mood, and his tone was lazy, but his big royal blue eyes were watching Airo very carefully.

If it's an ordinary monster, then forget it, but for an ordinary person who is sealed by a certain seal formation, the best thing to do is to obey, and then find a way to leave.

very lucky!Airo is an ordinary person in the legend.

The cat flew around Ai Luo several times, sniffing it up and down.It has been able to see his linen trousers and the big-toed shoes on his feet that have faded but been cleanly polished from his coarse cloth coat, before finally floating in front of Aero.

"Take off your hat."

"Ah...huh?"

Ai Luo almost reflexively raised his hands to cover his hat.

"I told you to take off your hat, why is that beautiful hair hidden and tucked? Can't you take it off? Or do you want to resist me?"

"...Well, I'll take it off."

The situation is better than others, but Airo didn't expect to be so shocked just when he was preparing for a new life.He slowly took off his hat, and his beautiful long blond hair with natural curls slipped from the brim.

The cat nodded and continued: "What's your name?"

"Ai...Ariel."

"Why do women disguise themselves as men?"

"What's your name? Cat?"

"I said! Now is when I ask you, not when you ask me!"

When the cat saw Airo asking himself a question again, he couldn't help being a little angry. It split its mouth, revealing its fangs, and faintly emitting a little dark black light!

However, Ai Luo has no magical affinity, so she can't feel these lights.When facing this little cat, her past experience and education made her respect but not humble——

"You know my name, but out of respect, I can't call you a cat monster or something else? And as far as I know, you don't seem to be the monsters recorded in the museum's illustrated book, so what should I use? How can I call you?"

If a warrior or magician is not timid to face it, then it is understandable.But such an ordinary person is not afraid of himself?

However, this human girl respected her attitude.And no matter how she looked at it, she was an ordinary person, and it was impossible to pose a threat to herself.

"Well, for the sake of your politeness. You can call me Napa. Now, to answer my question, how old are you? Why do you want to pretend to be a man?"

Ai Luo took a deep breath and made his smile extremely friendly and said, "Mr. Napa, I am fifteen this year. As for why I should pretend to be a man...for convenience."

"Convenience?"

Airo nodded: "I was born in the capital of the Blue Bay Empire and graduated from the Economics Department of Lao Tengshu College. Going out to travel... the identity of a male is always more convenient than that of a female."

Napa looked up and down at Ai Luo again. It seemed that the cat was a little puzzled: "Blue Bay Empire? Old Tengshu Academy? Hey, girl, you think I'm really sealed here. Lie? Tell you, the wind elves often write music scores with me, and the rain elves sing far away poems with me. The dark elves whisper to me at night the story of generals and wars, even the earth elves at your feet Come tell me about the rise and fall and change of the country."

"You girl looks like a farmer from beginning to end. You told me that you graduated from the Old Tengshu Academy of the Blue Bay Empire? Although I only heard of that school from the ears of the elves, it is absolutely It’s not that a slum girl like you can afford it and graduate successfully, right?"

Faced with doubts, Ai Luo looked very calm, and she nodded: "You are right, Napa."

"But I want to say that I did graduate from Lao Tengshu College. Moreover, it should be the Lao Tengshu College of the Blue Bay Empire that you have heard of from the natural elves."

Ai Luo looked very indifferent, she raised her hand and stroked her hair, tucked the hat in again, put it on, and returned to the appearance of a young brother.Then he looked around the basement and confirmed that there were no other strange beasts.

"Hehe, I really don't believe it."

Napa directly expressed her attitude. She hovered in the air, holding her arms, posing as if she was lying down, and said with a lazy expression——

"However, since you are willing to blow, then I am willing to listen. Young girl who graduated from Lao Tengshu College, why did you come to such a place where birds don't shit?"

Ai Luo looked through those old wine racks and barrels, and when he heard these words, he turned around and happily directed at Napa: "Oh, you admit that birds in this place don't shit? I just paid for it. A little panic about what terrible beast you are."

Compared with Airo’s words, Napa is more and more disheartened. It seems that Airo is not the person she is looking for, but she woke up now and feels a little melancholy and helpless: "Don’t turn it over, that magic circle is I use it to seal myself."

"Empty treasure chests are more disappointing than treasure chest monsters."

Airo clapped his hands, wiped the dust from his cheeks and walked back again.He looked at the look of Napa, and then at the wooden door in the basement. After thinking about it, he walked over and stretched out his hand...

This time, it pushed away smoothly.

"I am an orphan, and I have been living very hard since I was young. The root of many problems actually comes from'poor', and the solution to many problems is how to become'infinite'."

Out of the basement, Airo walked up the rotten and rotten stairs to the second floor.It was divided into rooms, but they were all in tatters and smelled of mold.It looks like this bar used to function as a hotel, right?

Ai Luo began to roll up his sleeves and clean the seemingly dilapidated house.He walked outside the door familiarly, moved in his luggage, took out his apron and put it on, and began to sort out the cobwebs and floating dust here.

"So, when I had the opportunity to enter the Old Tengshu Academy, I did not hesitate to choose the school faction that seemed to be able to bring me a lot of wealth-the economic faction."

Napa also floated over, and the flying dust seemed unable to get on its beautiful pale golden fur.Looking at the busy Airo, the lazy cat chuckled: "The most famous of the Old Tengshu Academy is the tactical school. There are countless branches under this faction. In addition, it even There is an extremely rare school of magic on the entire continent. But I think you can’t be a warrior with your size, and there is no affinity between your soul and magic. So...the economics school?

Ai Luo took out the rag, and happily cleaned the bar, took out a blanket from his package and folded a warm square on the bar.Finished, he smiled and made a please gesture at Napa.

Napa looked hesitant, hesitated again and again, it still slowly landed on the mat made of blanket.

The cat, who had been lying on the rotten wooden floor for years, suddenly had a very strange feeling?It stretched out its paws and stepped on the mat lightly, then began to lie on the mat very comfortably, continuing to maintain its laziness.

"I have been poor since I was a child, so I thought, since I am studying economics, then this faction must be able to tell me many ways to make money, make big money, and make big money easily? So I was very excited to sign up This faction. But..."

Thinking of the sad place, Ai Luo couldn't help feeling a little depressed.He sighed and said, "I didn't understand until I graduated that the Economics School is not a discipline that teaches people how to make money. Rather than teaching people how to make money, it focuses more on analyzing why other people make money and why they lose money. The crux of the problem is...no one can guarantee to make money by copying the path of others, and sometimes it is difficult even to guarantee not to lose money."

Clean up the bar area. Although it looks a bit old now, it will definitely be cleaned up in time!

Looking at the place he cleaned with his own hands, Ai Luo looked energetic again, with a smile on his face.

Napa wagged her tail and looked at the girl with curious eyes: "What then? You graduated, how did you get to such a place?"

Airo chuckled: "I can't know how to fight or magic. Since I can graduate from Old Tengshu Academy, at least prove that I have learned something? I have a scholarship of 100 gold coins, and I I also got a'guild business license'. Then why don't I set up a business guild by myself? Through my own efforts, maybe I can get rid of the destiny of poverty!"

Would this cat believe it?

Airo cares a little, but he doesn't care too much.

In fact, there is no need to talk to this monster cat of unknown origin. I believe it should also not completely believe what the "unknown" peasant girl said.

After all, the fact that the scholarship has 100 gold coins is an exaggeration. An average farmer can only earn 2 gold coins a year.And can an ordinary peasant girl get a guild management certificate issued by the empire?what!The bard dare not write that.

"Why don't you marry?"

Her long ears shook, Napa raised her head and glanced at Ai Luo who was busy and away—

"A woman who graduated from Lao Tengshu College, even if she was born as a commoner, marrying into a nobleman shouldn't be a problem. And you don't look bad. In my opinion, this should be the fastest way for you to get rid of poverty."

"Oh, isn't it?"

Airo carefully helped those chairs up and said with a smile—

"There are also a lot of girls studying, but for Lao Tengshu College, which generally only recruits nobles and royals, the ladies are looking for future husbands when they enter. Even if there are few serious students, finish reading. After I came out, I was married. Basically, the only thing I learned is to chat after dinner."

"However—"

Ai Luo looked at the roughly cleaned first floor with hands on hips, with a smile looking forward to the future on his face——

"I still don't like this approach. I want to be able to control my destiny, instead of betting my future glory and wealth on a man. I have read so many books and learned so many things, and the end result is that The mistress of a noble young master? I don't want to waste my youth so much."

Ai Luo said that he was very happy, and seemed to be full of expectations for his future!

However, when the girl said so happily, she didn't know that the cat behind was staring at him silently.

The bright eyes no longer have the lazy color that looks down upon, but are full of thinking.Its eyes were once full of doubts, and it was a joke that complained of fate in its heart. Why did such a seemingly ordinary girl wake him up?

But now, it seems to understand why.

"Tell you, I didn't come here casually. There is a mine nearby, right? Recently—"

Ai Luo turned around, only to find that the cat was asleep now?It's because I just said so much nonsense.

But just when he wanted to turn around and continue to clean up the house...

"Establish an adventurer's guild."

Ai Luo turned around, thinking he had heard it wrong.

But there is nothing wrong, the voice is indeed that of the cat.

He snorted: "You are mistaken, I want to form a commerce guild. And I have no combat skills and no magic..."

"Establish an adventurer's guild. Otherwise, I won't let you use this house."

Napa, who was sleeping on the side with her eyes closed, still looked so listless, but her voice seemed very determined--

"But if you set up an adventurer's guild, I will provide you with some help. Some help you may never imagine."

Ai Luo stopped his work, he turned his head to look at Napa, but did not say yes.

This silence made the time and light of dancing with each other lively and silently, observing this seemingly ordinary peasant girl.

After thinking for a while, Ai Luo finally came to the bar, looking at the kitten, a slightly evil smile unexpectedly floated to the corner of his mouth——

"I'm thinking, if I sell you, how much money can I exchange for? Although the museum illustration book is not very complete, there should still be many people who want to buy a cute monster like you?"

Napa, who had seemed very lazy, suddenly raised her spirit, with alert in her big eyes: "Human, what do you mean?"

Airo opened his hands and showed a rogue smile: "Humans are thinking creatures. Therefore, under normal circumstances, humans will always choose to make choices that maximize their own interests. However, sometimes due to various The reason is that the best choices made by human beings are often not the best. However, it should be certain that all human actions are aimed at satisfying their own interests. Even a lunatic will use his own madness. He thinks that something is good for him. Even the most noble brave who is willing to sacrifice himself for others, his interests include his own self-satisfaction."

Napa gradually arched her body, it vaguely felt that the seemingly ordinary peasant girl in front of her seemed not as uncivilized as she had imagined?

"So, all human behaviors are benefits. By extension, other thinking creatures should be the same. After many weighings, they will choose the best choice for themselves. And you, Napa, after you meet me After a lot of thinking, I feel that letting me form the Adventurer's Guild is the best solution for you. Do you think this means anything?"

The kitten's body, which originally looked very smooth, now has its hairs erected.It even cracked its mouth a little, showing small teeth to face this grinning Ai Luo.

"The most basic point is that you cannot create a well-functioning adventurer's guild with your own strength. You need a spokesperson, a spokesperson that can be used to help you meet certain interests."

"I'm just an ordinary poor girl, let alone adventurers' guilds, I don't even have business guild experience. After a completely inexperienced person accepts your suggestion, he will naturally need to follow you. Senior’s guidance. At that time, you will let me go eastward, and let me go westward, but I may not know what I am doing these things for."

"The opacity of information often means that the risk of the business has risen sharply, and there is even a huge possibility of being deceived."

Speaking of this, Ai Luo simply lay on the bar, facing the cat with his head, hehe smiled——

"So, I already know that you have a certain expectation of me, but I don't know what this expectation means to me. Instead of letting you stay in my shop as a factor of instability, don't you think Is it the best solution for me to sell you for money?"

Seeing Airo's head so close, Napa knew that she could draw three blood marks on this face with just one paw.

But in the face of an ordinary poor, such behavior is a bit too petty.

Napa slowly calmed down her hair, thought for a while and said, "This is the first time I have heard someone say'distrust' so clearly. Are you really sure that your economics doesn't teach you how to do business? "

Ai Luo frowned and sighed: "No~~~ I thought economics would teach me how to buy goods, how to settle accounts, how to reduce the tax limit, which things are good for sale and which things need to be stocked. But I didn't have it until graduation. Haven't learned any knowledge in this area."

He stretched out his hand, gently touched Napa’s paw, and said with a smile: "However, trust comes from exchange. When both parties can exchange their own materials with each other continuously, and the results make both parties feel satisfied Then trust is born. This kind of material can be concrete, it can be feelings and communication. So in simple terms, trust is also a commercial value."

"If Napa wants to gain my trust, then she must also come up with something in exchange."

Napa’s eyes flashed with suspicion. It was supposed to be the one who threatened the girl, but she didn’t expect that this little girl would now raked in and asked herself if she wanted something?

"...If I don't agree to exchange with you, or exchange something that is very worthless, what will you do?"

Ai Luo straightened up with his hands on his hips, and smiled and said: "I said it was an exchange, but in fact I was weighing my value in your eyes. How much do you expect me to be your agent to take care of your adventurer. Guild, my value is as great. Of course, the value in the eyes of Warcraft may be different from the value of human beings. So, to show my sincerity, I will tell you my expectations."

As he said, Ai Luo stretched out three fingers, and the expression that had originally shown a rascal smile instantly became serious, and said very solemnly——

"Three years, 1,000 gold coins."

"Except for the 15 gold coins for buying this house, the travel and food expenses to reach Pelican Town, if I cannot earn 1,000 gold coins for the'Holy Eve Festival' three years later, it will have a great impact on my future life. A huge negative impact. What exactly is it... This is my own secret."

Napa looked at Airo's eyes, and it didn't see a lie in these eyes.This girl is really thinking about 1,000 gold coins for 3 years.

After a moment of silence, Napa finally nodded gently.Its body floated again, and some golden light radiated from its body.

Ai Luo was curious, but soon he knew what had happened!

The house that was originally dilapidated slowly became clean under the shroud of this golden light!The heavy dust and the cobwebs entangled inside and out gradually disappeared, and the broken planks grew like life, blocking the holes.

In just a few minutes, the space on the first floor has become completely new!The candles on the candlesticks are lit, and the tables and chairs are neatly arranged. Except that there is no wine on the cabinets, it looks like a pub that has just been renovated and is ready to open!

"call……"

Napa's body rested on the cushion again, it looked a little weak, and its eyes were not as wide as they were just opened. When it was lying on its stomach, its back undulated violently, obviously tired.

"I can't give you 1,000 gold coins. I didn't get it on the second floor and basement. But... Is this result enough to exchange your'trust'? If... If you agree... in the future... I can give you... More...more...more...Zzzzz..."

Its voice seemed weak, and it was no longer pretending to be lazy.To the back, the kitten even lay on the cushion and stopped talking.

Ai Luo looked at the clean first floor, and then at the current Napa.

He stretched out his hand, gently held Napa's little paw, and shook it up and down a little.

"Deal."

Even though Napa has lost consciousness now, this promise has already been made.

As Airo said, trust comes from exchange.

But this is not because this little monster has cleaned up the entire first floor.

Obviously I heard that I might sell it for money. As a beast, I can easily solve my ordinary human being, but he still runs out of magic power and becomes a state of being slaughtered by himself. This can only prove that his spokesperson has dealt with it. It's really important.

"Since you think my value is so great that you are even willing to gamble with your life, what can I say? The vice president of the Adventurer's Guild."

Reached out and touched Napa's head gently, it was soft and really cute.

——On August 1, 1301, purchase fee: -15 gold.Travel expenses: -7 silver and 3 bronze.Balance: 84 gold, 2 silver and 7 copper——
