Travel to another world and become a great sage

Chapter 33: Caiaphas, the Exchequer

Suddenly, the prompt sound in his head woke up Hu Jiuyi: "I found a convertible energy substance, can it be converted into energy value?"

Only then did Hu Jiu realize that his attention had suddenly fallen on the dark purple stone in his hand. This stone was the size of a fist, translucent, and its inner texture was radial, which looked a bit strange.

"Little princess, what is this?" Hu Jiu asked Alice holding a stone.

"This one was given to me by Caiaphas. It seems to be called vine stone, and it is a specialty of Chiyou territory." Alice saw that Hu Jiu was interested in vine stone, and she rolled her eyes with a strange expression: "vine stone The stone has a special function, it seems to be able to...enhance a man's... function, you must be the man who needs this kind of stone, right?"

Enhance a certain function?Hu Jiu fought coldly, and hurriedly gave up, no matter how much energy he wanted, he couldn't admit that he was some kind of incompetent man in front of the two beauties!
Ji Xili didn't continue to tease him at first, but seeing this appearance, she couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile, which seemed infinitely coquettish, and Alice smiled even more exaggeratedly while covering her belly on the stool.

Hu Jiu recalled the evil trick he got when he first met little Lolita, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious. Although Caiapha was the eldest son of Lord Chiyou, he was also the financial officer of Darkmoon City. Princess right?
For the sake of energy value, Hu Jiu bit the bullet and asked, "Little princess, what function does Fujishi have?"

Little Lolita teased him a few more times, and finally had enough fun, and then told him that rattan stones can increase a magician's magic power to a certain extent, and are usually embedded in some kind of magic-enhancing equipment, which is indeed "enhanced magic power". some kind of function".

Hu Jiu strongly despised Alice's ability to describe, and asked: "I like this stone very much, can the little princess sell it to me?"

"What do you think of this princess, you don't look like a man who needs to 'enhance a certain function'?" Seeing his serious look, Alice found it boring, and said angrily: "If you really want, five black crystal coins, It's cheap for you!"

"It's so expensive!" Hu Jiuda was taken aback. He didn't know how much energy these rattan stones could provide. First of all, this price can scare people away. Five black crystal coins are almost his entire property. Forget it , Let’s wait until Zack’s free ore arrives.

"Don't be so stingy," Alice smiled like a little fox, "People know that my sister rewarded you with five black crystal coins through Anshelek."

I know it all!It turned out that little Lolita wanted him to lose everything on purpose, she deserves to be the owner of a black shop!Hu Jiu deliberately said indignantly: "It's definitely not the eldest princess who asked you to do this on purpose. I will go to the eldest princess now and return the bounty to her directly."

"Don't!" Alice stopped when she heard that he was going to find her sister, "I'm just kidding you, why are you so serious."

It seems that this is the trick to deal with the little loli!Hu Jiu was secretly proud, and heard Alice offer a speechless new price: "Then let's add 99 amethyst coins to four black crystal coins!"

The difference between 5000 yuan and 90 yuan is just that.

"It's too expensive, so I don't want it anymore," Hu Jiu decisively decided to give up. It seems that it is impossible to get the rattan stone from the little Lolita today.

"Didn't you see that the things here are very expensive? How can you show your identity as a princess if you are not expensive?" Alice pouted, "However, people also have good or bad impressions of selling things. If you can make them happy, There is also a rattan stone here, it doesn’t matter if I give it to you together.”

Two rattan stones!Hu Jiu was refreshed, but it was not easy to satisfy Lord Alice. These days, the stock in his mind was almost emptied.

"Little princess," Hu Jiu pondered for a while, then said, "How about I teach you how to open a shop and make more money?"

Alice's eyes lit up, and then she frowned cutely: "Isn't that how the store is opened? Everyone is like this. This princess is already much smarter than those people."

Hu Jiu shook his head, his eyes revealed a strong confidence: "The shop is not opened like this."

After a while, the little ghoul who was waiting downstairs saw the master coming down the stairs, and hurried up to greet him.

Hu Jiu frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that this is the shop opened by the little princess?"

"Isn't the master looking for a shop that sells strange things?" The little evil saw the master's dissatisfaction, and smiled flatteringly: "This is the weirdest shop in the city, and the master is so familiar with the little princess, this time it must be There is a surprise."

Looking at Billy's flattering smile, Hu Jiu raised the two rattan stones in his hand.

"Vinestone!" The little ghoul exclaimed, and recognized it at a glance, "This is very expensive! I remember that the magic store under the name of Lord Caiaphas sells fifty black crystal coins a piece!"

Fifty black crystal coins a piece!Hu Jiu glanced upstairs in surprise, her usual impression of this black-bellied little princess finally changed.

Hu Jiu left Alice's shop, and while Billy wasn't paying attention on the way, he secretly used the transformation skill to try. The rattan stone was indeed an expensive magic material. The two pieces provided a total of 230 energy points, and the total energy value had reached At 406 points, it seems that a poor peasant who was originally poor and white has suddenly become well-off.

The harvest of the rattan stone gave Hu Jiu new hope, and asked Billy to lead the way to the magic shop under the name of Caiaphas to see if he could find any treasures.

The magic store is located in the busiest part of the city center, but there are very few customers inside. The reason is very simple, it is too expensive. Take the rattan stone absorbed by Hu Jiu as an example, it is even more expensive than what the little evil remembers , 68 black crystal coins, and only three.

The prices of the rest of the magic materials are also astonishingly high, and they are definitely not affordable by Hu Jiu's current economic level. It seems that magicians and alchemists are similar, and they are both professions that burn money.

Hu Jiu was disappointed for a while, but today's harvest is already rich enough, and Zach will be able to supply energy sources for a long time in the future, so he should be content.

Just as he was about to leave, a voice rang at the door: "Isn't this the human apprentice of Master Anshelek? How did you come here?"

The tone of this voice was full of ridicule and disdain, and Hu Jiu couldn't help frowning.

When Hu Jiu saw it, he was a well-dressed man with a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament, but there was a slight sullen look between his brows.The man's appearance is no different from that of a human being. Like Tiana, he should belong to a great demon with a high-level mutated bloodline, possessing two forms.

Behind the man are two big demons, a man and a woman, who seem to be servants.

Beside the man, there was a familiar male big demon staring at Hu Jiu with vicious eyes. It was Tiana's suitor and Darkmoon City's garrison general, Weibull.

Billy hurried forward to salute, which also meant to wake up Hu Jiu.

"My lord Caiaphas, my lord Webble."

Only then did Hu Jiu know that the handsome young man was Caiaphas, the current finance officer who held the economic lifeline of Darkmoon City, the eldest son of Lord Chiyou.

"Go away!" Weibull yelled sharply, and Billy scrambled and hid behind Hu Jiu in fright.

Hu Jiu secretly turned on the force field induction, which showed that Weibull's comprehensive strength assessment is only the first level, which is the same as his current level, but with the example of Targus, Hu Jiu understands that the assessment is not at the same level, and the strength will be similar .

Tiana once said that for the same middle-level demons, the ones at the peak stage are at least ten times stronger than the ones at the first-level level, and this comprehensive evaluation is likely to be the same.

There are two great demons behind Caiaphas, both of which are of the second level, quite powerful, but Caiaphas' own strength evaluation is actually: Unable to judge!

There are only two possibilities for the force field induction to be "undeterminable". One is that Caiaphas' strength is quite low, and the other is that Caiaphas' strength is already strong enough to exceed the upper limit of his current analysis.

But obviously, Caiaphas belongs to the last category, and he is still in the ordinary state of transformation!
Although Weibull was full of murderous looks, in Hu Jiu's eyes, the smiling Caiapha was undoubtedly more terrifying.

There is a knife in the smile, it is definitely a knife in the smile, after this judgment, no matter how polite Caiaphas is, it gives people a sinister feeling.

"My lords, the master asked me to come out and buy some Nether Grass today, so I'll come to Lord Caiapha's magic shop to have a look." Hu Jiu calmed down, brought out Anshelek's name, and pointed out that this was Caiapha by the way. The legal shop, to warn Weibull not to act rashly.

"So it was Master Anshelek's order." Caiafa still kept smiling, but Hu Jiu could feel the arrogance and disdain in his bones, "I don't know how much the master needs?"

"The Nether Grass here is very good, but it is more expensive than the master remembers. It may be that the price has increased. I don't have enough money. I'd better go back and report to the master."

Hu Jiu wasn't afraid of Weibull. Even if he couldn't defeat him at the same level, he should still have a high chance of escaping. But the two big demons behind Caiaphas were different, let alone Caiaphas himself.The only plan for now is to leave as soon as possible.

"Due to the shortage of goods, the prices of the recent products have risen a bit. However, the master defeated the Lichma last time and won glory for the Dark Moon City. There are a total of [-] Nether Grass here, which are my gifts to the master. Please pass them on. To the master, and bring the most sincere greetings from my Alvin family, if the master has other needs in the future, our store will always have the lowest price."

When Lichma came last time, he wanted to put Anshelek to death, and even under the guise of going to the Alvin family, he was clearly one of them.Now that Lichma was defeated, Caiaphas immediately took the opportunity to make friends, at least he meant to stabilize Anshelek.Sure enough, it is that sentence, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Fifty Nether Grass, at this price, would cost about a hundred black crystal coins. Hu Jiu thanked Caiapha politely, accepted the Nether Grass, and left.When he reached the door, Caiapha suddenly said, "Human, I heard that you are friends with the little princess and Tiana?"

Hu Jiu turned around and said with a wry smile: "I don't have the qualifications, but the little princess is very curious about me as a human being, and likes to bring Tiana to me for entertainment."

"I heard that Tiana has openly recognized you as a friend, and the little princess must also value you very much." Caiafa smiled, but there was no smile, "I will have a friendly match with the little princess in the arena at the beginning of next month. I wonder if you are interested in visiting?"

"Friendly match?" Hu Jiu had never heard of it from Alice or Tiana, so he responded casually: "Let's talk about it later. My lords, I'm going to ask the master for a job."

After Hu Jiu left, Weibull gritted his teeth and said, "Caiaphas, you are afraid of that dark elf, but I am not. Why don't you let me tear this damned human into pieces?"

Caiapha sneered, and he didn't know whether he was facing Hu Jiu or Weibull: "It's not yet time to openly break with Restia, so Anshelek can't offend you. If you really want to deal with that weak human , I have a solution. You go and release the news that humans will compete on behalf of the little princess. If humans die under fair competition like Lekima, even Anshelek will have nothing to say."

Weibull showed a look of sudden realization, and said with a sinister smile: "Good idea! I will join your side at that time, and I will kill this human being with my own hands."

Caiafa shrugged his shoulders, as if he had expected this a long time ago: "Since you have decided to do it, then wait until the day before the game to spread the news, and don't let them have time to prepare."

........................

Hu Jiu returned to the laboratory and handed the Nether Grass to Anshelek.

Anshelek heard that it was sent by Caiaphas, thought for a while, and did not refuse.

Hu Jiu knew that Anshelek was a sensible person, and must have understood the intentions of the Alvin family, so he went back to his room to rest without further ado.

Perhaps Alice really listened to that sales lesson, and didn't come to Hu Jiu for a few days, and didn't even come to collect the debt.

Tiana, on the other hand, came to listen to his stories of the Three Kingdoms from time to time, and the two kept laughing happily from the laboratory.

In the past few days, Hu Jiu followed Billy to search for the source of energy value in Dark Moon City, and basically got a good grasp of the city. Zach from the blacksmith's shop is very generous and popular, and he came forward to solve the problem, and Hu Jiu was happy not to reveal his strength.

The harvest in these few days is not as great as the first day, and some energy values ​​have been increased more or less. The total energy value is currently close to 700.Although the requirements for activating the storage warehouse have been met, there will only be more than 200 left if it is activated, and it is difficult to find a new source of energy value for the time being, so let's bear with it.

As she gradually integrated into the Double Moon Continent, Hu Jiu had a new perspective on this rumored cruel and terrifying world.

It is undeniable that the Shuangyue Continent respects strength, and it is only natural for the weak to prey on the strong, but it is not the case in the human world, at most it is just a layer of gorgeous cover on top of this rule.

Most of the demons are ferocious, and there are many cruel and cunning ones, but after peeling off the relatively beautiful outer skin, the darkness in the human heart is not inferior.

In other words, the Double Moon Continent is a human world, but it is just a human being who advocates strength, fights more, and looks more strange.

Just like a sentence he saw on the Internet in his previous life: Darkness is also a kind of light, but the color is different.
