I like crossing the most

Chapter 849 The Last Daily Life 29
Xiao Lin certainly didn't argue, after all, that's what he thought. If they could identify this ring as a very expensive piece of jewelry, then they would have a stable living budget!

I returned to the town and came to Wiz's magic tool shop. I pushed open the door and saw a weak lich girl in an apron cleaning the shop. Her little face was red and she looked very serious.

"Yeah, Wiz."

"Hey, Mr. Kobayashi and Ms. Huihui. Welcome. I'm looking for something today."

When Wiz saw the two, he smiled happily and welcomed the two people who came to his shop. Xiaolin waved his hand casually and said, "No, I'm asking you to appraise the ring now."

"……Huh?!"

"No, I won't steal anymore."

Seeing Wiz so scared, Kobayashi pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. After all, the ring had caused a lot of trouble before, so it was understandable that she would be so nervous and alert.

"That's right, I'm sorry."

Wiz nodded awkwardly, looking very shy, but to be honest, she didn't need to be like that at all. In the end, it was all Kobayashi's fault. Huihui did the same. She pouted and said, "There's no need to apologize, Wiz. It's natural that Kobayashi would be on guard."

"Hey! I've told you several times, you didn't mean it, did you?!" Kobayashi, who has a good temper, is almost unable to hold back after always being misunderstood like this!
Huihui snorted, turned her head away with an awkward look, and said, “Even if it wasn’t an intentional act, the fact that he continued to steal other people’s underwear is still an unshakable fact.”

How mean.

But what made him most angry was that what the little girl said was the truth, and he had no room for excuses. If he had known earlier, he would not have brought her here. Xiaolin felt quite regretful. If Wiz was reluctant, he would feel wronged.

"Well, well... let's not quarrel over this." The kind-hearted Wiz intervened between the two. She asked in confusion, "So, where is the ring that I need to identify?"

"Ahh, that's it."

Hearing that Wiz was willing to help identify it, Xiaolin quickly took out the ring from his arms and handed it over. At this moment, a man squeezed in forcefully and shouted, "Who is it, who is it? Let me take a look at it too. Give it to me!"

"Of course I won't give it to you!" Xiao Lin quickly put the ring away. At the same time, he looked at the Duke of Hell who appeared in front of him and said with a sneer: "You guy, you must be planning to charge for the appraisal, right? Give up, I won't give the ring to you for appraisal!"

"It's really rude to call me blackmail, kid!" Vanir was a little unhappy when he heard himself being called that. "I'm just asking for legitimate labor compensation, not blackmail like raising the price. Remember this!"

“…So, if you offer another 30 million Eris, we won’t be able to make that much money.”

Xiaolin rolled his eyes in annoyance.

However, Vanir seemed to have seen through the true value of the ring and said casually, "This thing is not that valuable. It looks like a worthless piece of junk that even a curse fanatic would not buy."

"What you said is true, right?"

Xiao Lin didn't believe in Vanir. After all, this guy always had bad intentions and it was normal for him to raise the price. If he really succeeded, being blackmailed would be a small matter, but the grievance he suffered would be really devastating.

But this time, Wiz agreed with this statement. She nodded and said, "Yes, I can't feel such a strong power from this ring as last time. I don't think there should be a complicated curse on it."

“…Wait a moment.” Huihui also interrupted the topic, and she said with some relief: “Let’s not talk about the strength of the curse for now. Is this ring really cursed as well?”

"Rather than saying it's a curse, it's better to say that this ring contains resentment."

Vanir said this, and his words made everyone stunned and confused.

"Are you talking about resentment?"

"Although I am not very clear about the details, at least I can be sure that no spell was used to cast a spell on the ring."

Barnil said so.

Well... maybe he had explained the ring, but unfortunately, Xiaolin didn't understand. What curses, spells, etc., what exactly do they mean?

But Banier had already made his judgment. He shook his head with regret and said, "That's it. So we can't buy it."

"But, this ring is very beautiful, right?" Wiz seemed quite moved. Regardless of whether this ring was cursed or not, its style alone was enough to make most women obsessed with it. It was sparkling, so it was normal for Wiz to be tempted.

But Vanir stopped him decisively and said, "You useless shopkeeper, do you think this half-cursed ring can be sold?"

"Yes, because it's beautiful."

Wiz answered decisively. Perhaps due to gender differences, Wiz and Vanir focused on different things. One was concerned about whether the style was beautiful enough, while the other thought that it was more important to see how well it performed than how well the style looked. And now the performance of this ring was not up to standard.

If she continued like this, the useless shop owner might buy the ring, so Vanir hurriedly tried to persuade her.

"It's not about how it looks. This ring is cursed, right?" The Duke of Hell said earnestly. He explained the interests involved very seriously. "Besides, it's a half-baked curse that even curse enthusiasts would disdain. No one would want this ring."

"Of course I know that, but isn't this beautiful?"

"........."

Vanir gnashed his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead. Even though the mask hid his expression, the sound of his teeth and his slightly trembling body clearly showed that he was on the verge of exploding.

Even Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Vanir."

"…In short, I can't buy it! Also, the appraisal fee is 100,000 Eris!"

"what?"

Hearing Vanir's words out of the blue, Xiao Lin opened his mouth in surprise, but Vanir raised his white chin slightly and said unhappily, "What's with that expression? Do you think you can just let someone appraise it and leave without paying?"

“No, no, no, that’s not it!” Xiao Lin took a big step back, pretending that he had done nothing, and explained in a panic: “I didn’t ask you to appraise it, why do you want money? And, it’s 100,000 Eris!… Well, it’s a lot less than 30 million Eris.”

“It’s true that the little devil didn’t ask us to do anything.” Vanir admitted this and turned to look at Huihui and said, “But, the little girl from the Crimson Demon Clan…”

"Well."

"You asked me, right? Is this ring also cursed... like this."

There was a grin of a profiteer on Vanir's face, and to be honest, it made people unhappy.

Huihui did the same. She resisted the urge to punch him and said, “Yes, I did ask you, but it’s too harsh to say that it was a request for appraisal.”

This is true. If Huihui had to pay 100,000 Eris for just asking a question and getting an answer, then if this is not robbery, then what is robbery?
"But it is true that you seek the answer to a question. And I, have answered that question."

Vanir kept dwelling on this point.

Indeed, if you look at it from another perspective, Huihui should be paid for asking this question, so even Huihui herself had nothing to say, and just glared at Vanir indignantly.

The Duke of Hell happily enjoyed the little Lolita's negative emotions, and said in a high voice: "We have fulfilled our obligations according to the contract, so it is only natural to ask for rewards, right?"

"Xiao Lin..."

Huihui had no choice but to seek help from Xiaolin. However, Xiaolin knew that Vanir would use Huihui to contain him, so he simply said -

“I’ll be back then. Keep doing your best, Huihui.”

"Wait a minute! Why are you talking as if it has nothing to do with you? Help me!"

Huihui pulled on his clothes.

As if she was dissatisfied with Xiaolin's indifference, she said loudly: "I have helped you many times when Xiaolin was in trouble! So, it's your turn to help me this time!"

"What, is this true?"

"What? You want to pretend you don't know?"

“But I have no impression of that at all.”

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Xiaolin has never received any favor from Huihui since they formed a team, right? It is better to say that he has always been the one being dragged down, right? Since Huihui threatened him with such a statement, he also has a way to deal with it——

"Not only did he steal someone's underwear, but he also turned a blind eye to kindness. Xiaolin has now gone beyond being a pervert and has become——"

"What have I become?"

"I have become a scumbag."

"Scum!?"

Kobayashi thought Huihui would say something, but he didn't expect this guy to say such shocking words. If he had known this, he would not have responded.

Huihui nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, as a human being you are a scumbag, a complete scumbag. Why are you still alive? You would be better off dead.”

"Wait! I'm talking to you. Not only are you calling me a scumbag, you're also trying to deny my human rights!" Kobayashi couldn't help but say this loudly.

Hui Hui curled her lips and said nonchalantly: “There is no need to grant human rights to those who repay kindness with enmity.”

the other side.

Wiz was also strongly condemning Vanir, saying, “Mr. Vanir! What you did just now was a bit too much, no matter how you look at it!”

"But it is a fact that the contract has been established." Vanir spread his hands and said, "The devil will not allow anyone to go back on the contract. In other words, you must pay the money!"

Hui Hui was even more upset after hearing this. She strongly condemned Xiao Lin and said, "After all, Xiao Lin shouldn't have picked up that ring! In other words, 99% of the appraisal fee should be paid by Xiao Lin!"

"I don't even know how much the rewards for the previous missions are. Where am I supposed to get so much money?"

“I feel the same way about this!”

Huihui also shouted.

Baniel's eyes lit up, and he took the opportunity to say, "Hmm? You seem to be in trouble. In that case, you can pay in installments? I'll charge you 200% interest."

"You're a demon!" X2
"It's a demon, right?"

Condemned by two people in unison, Vanir casually spread his hands, indicating that he was indeed a devil.

At this time, Wiz intervened. She said seriously, "Well, it's not something that costs money. We have known each other for a while. I don't mind if you help me for free."

“Not bad, Wiz!” Huihui heard the weak-hearted Lich Manager say that and encouraged her loudly, “That’s it. Say more!”

"Really? The shopkeeper is still as naive as ever." Vanir held his forehead and sighed as if he had a headache. He shook his head helplessly and said, "That gentleness is why you were given the dishonorable nickname of the poor shopkeeper."

"Even if you say so...but I am just like this."

Wiz smiled.

"Forget it. I understand this point very well." I thought Vanir would give up, but he changed the subject and said, "But I don't intend to be as naive as the shop owner. Since I'm working, I have to ask for corresponding compensation!"

"But, one hundred thousand eris is really..."

Huihui said this with great embarrassment.

Vanir thought for a moment and said, "Well, then... let's compromise a little. It's okay to pay with your body."

“Wait!?” Huihui took a step back, covered her barren chest with both hands, and screamed, “Use my body!? What do you want me to do?!”

"Don't worry, I won't make excessive demands like those devilish kids over there."

"I, I, I, I... I won't tell you either. After all, I don't have any lolita characteristics at all!"

Kobayashi, who was DISSed by the Grand Duke of Hell, said this hastily.

But Huihui was a little angry, her eyes slightly red as she said: "Xiaolin, regarding the term lolita just now, could you please explain it in detail?"

"Hey! Wait a minute, why did you take out your wand!?"

"Wiz, fire together."

"Varied!?"

"Eh?"

Even Wiz was a little flustered. But Vanir clapped his hands and said, "Really? Why do we always go off topic like this?"
