The World of Deities
Chapter 5 Bargaining
In the autumn garden, there are occasional leaves falling.
Across the discharge gate, Su Ye saw a middle-aged man in a white robe lying on a light brown inclined bed, leisurely flipping through a yellow-brown papyrus book. Occasionally, small pieces of papyrus fell off. The maid picked it away carefully.
Su Ye's nose moved lightly, the fragrance of tea was faint, and his eyes fell on the teapot on the table, unlike what Greece should have in this era.
The middle-aged foreman walked over and whispered beside Kelton.
Kelton raised his head, handed the papyrus book to the maid who was wearing it, and looked at Su Ye quietly, with a touch of warmth in his brown pupils.
Su Ye met Kelton's gaze without fear.
The Greeks at this time were mostly thin, but Kelton's appearance was as tall and strong as a Greek statue, with sunken eye sockets, deep eyes, straight nose, and black curly hair, enough to become an excellent sculpture model.
Su Ye stared at Kelton's left ring finger suddenly, and the silver double snake title ruby ring was particularly eye-catching. The moment he saw it, his eyes even tingled slightly.
It was not the big ruby that made Su Ye's eyes sting, but one of the eyes of two snake heads and four emeralds.
Kelton did not get up, with a look of nostalgia and said: "I have heard about your parents and I am deeply sorry. Your parents are real craftsmen, and I like eating your father's bread the most. If you need help, As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
Su Ye felt that when Kelton was speaking, his eyes quickly swept across his body.
"I don't need help." Su Ye raised his head appropriately, showing very stubbornly.
Kelton got up slowly, sat upright on the inclined bed, smiled kindly, and said, "Then what do you want?"
Su Ye sighed lightly and said: "I have had a dream since I was a child to become a great magician and use magic to make the world better. Later, my parents ran out of wealth and sent me to Plato Academy. Now, someone Taking advantage of the death of my parents and robbing my house, I may not be able to continue school at Plato Academy and become a magician. Therefore, I am looking for you to make a deal to continue my studies."
"What deal?" Kelton's expression moved slightly.
Huck, who had originally looked up at the sky, turned to look at Su Ye, as if he was about to recognize the child again.
"A deal that can make Dolphin River become famous may even spread your name throughout Greece and the world." Su Yedao.
"Is it a fame or notoriety?" Kelton stood up, still smiling, but the silver warrior's powerful aura spread silently.
Su Ye suddenly had an illusion that Kelton in front of him turned into a ten-meter-tall giant with a hideous smile.
"I have the food recipe left by my parents!" Su Ye said solemnly, with a slight sadness in his voice, his eyes drooping slightly, and the focus of his sight moved from Kelton to a lower table.
On the way, Su Ye thought about this action dozens of times.
Kelton was taken aback, reduced his breath, nodded, and said, "Go on."
Su Ye shook his head and said, "I don't want to say too much. In short, I have a gourmet recipe carefully researched by my parents, which is worth 10,000 gold, but I am willing to sell it today at the price of a thousand gold Zeus."
Kelton looked at Su Ye and smiled silently.
He flipped his right hand, and a golden coin was lying on the palm of his hand, with a majestic and vague profile carved on the front, Zeus, the king of gods.
With a flick of his thumb, the gold coins fluttered in the air, making a buzzing sound, and the golden light flashed randomly, and finally fell back to the palm of his hand with the back facing upward.
"The golden eagle is always so charming." Kelton said.
On the back of the gold coin is engraved with a fluttering eagle. This is Zeus's favorite animal and the letter of Zeus.
On general occasions, the Greeks call gold coins the golden eagle. On formal occasions,
This involves a legend of gods.
According to legend, the Greek gods set three kinds of coins, but they were arguing about whose head they were used.
Later, Athena said that gold coins are the most noble and should be engraved with the head of the king of gods.This makes Zeus very happy.
Then Athena said that silver coins are second only to gold coins, and apart from Hera, no one can be second only to Zeus.Hera was also very happy.
Then Athena asked, the nobles would never touch cheap copper coins. Copper coins are destined to circulate in the lower layers and in the mud. Even slaves can use them. Which master god is willing to be touched by slaves?
The several lord gods with the highest status all gave up fighting, their original goal was gold and silver coins.In the end, the head of Athena appeared on the copper coin, and her beloved spiritual creature, the owl, appeared on the back.
The goddess of wisdom did not deceive, and the final result is just as she said, copper coins circulated among the people at the bottom, and some nobles did not even touch copper coins for life, but this also made the name Athena the most popular among the people at the bottom.
Many people do not believe this legend.
One golden eagle coin is enough to buy a sheep. Fifty golden eagle coins can buy any dwelling in the slums of Athens. Back then, Kelton bought this land and built the Dolphin River restaurant. He spent only two thousand eagle coins. .
"I said that this kind of food recipe will surely be passed down through the ages, and even make your name famous." Su Ye looked at Kelton with firm eyes.
Kelton stared at Su Ye's eyes, staring firmly.
The middle-aged foreman on the side originally had his mouth slightly turned up, and a very faint mocking expression appeared on his face, but suddenly his complexion changed and he hurriedly approached Kelton, whispering in his ear: "Sir, why his parents Selling the old shops and borrowing money to exchange for larger shops, is it because you have mastered this gourmet recipe?"
Kelton nodded slightly, he had thought of this possibility a long time ago.
Kelton asked: "What kind of gourmet recipe is that?"
Su Ye firmly said: "My recipe can add another dish to the dinner table in Greece and even the world."
"Congratulations, you completed your dream of changing the world with magic ahead of schedule." Kelton's face was full of enthusiasm.
The middle-aged foreman and the maid chuckled softly, very cooperatively.
Huck didn't laugh.
Su Ye did not smile either.
"I'll make a price, you bargain." Su Ye looked up at the tall Kelton.
"Ten golden eagles." Kelton still smiled.
Su Ye froze for a moment, looked around with confused eyes, puzzled: "There is a miser Mr. Kelton in the workshop area? Did I come to the wrong place?"
The middle-aged foreman and maid frowned slightly.
Kelton looked at Su Ye and said nothing.
Su Ye looked straight and continued: "I am here not because I heard that Mr. Kelton is generous, not because you are rich, not because you are kind, and not because you are cheating. You are one of the most intelligent people in the workshop area and one of the longest-sighted."
"I will try to get rid of'one'." Kelton smiled confidently.
Su Ye continued: "What do you think would happen to Dean Plato's visit to the Dolphin River?"
