Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 155 Trading
In fact, for Brian, it was a very satisfying dinner.

Thick venison soup, floating with mussels, small fish and offal, eels marinated in garlic, sauerkraut and vinegar, and the worst snails cooked in honey garlic that he had never tasted before.

But he only had a keen interest in the dire snail.

Due to its ferocious characteristics, this kind of wild snail is not only twice the size of ordinary snails, but also has a soft and tender taste that is tender and refreshing. With pure natural honey and garlic, it is sweet, soft and glutinous. It was so sticky like rice cakes that he almost cleaned up half of the snails on the plate by himself.

Brian, who has traveled to the mainland all the year round, knows that for ordinary farmers, this is undoubtedly a very sumptuous dinner.

Nearly a month has passed since leaving Golden Feather City.

During this trip to Abrera City, he spent almost all of his time immersed in hunting monsters and gaining experience points. Like a wilderness ranger, he stayed away from the hotbed and hot bath life habits to carry out this game. A thrilling wilderness survival.

That's why when he walked to a quiet country road somewhere in the Goblin Wasteland, he suddenly couldn't help slowing down to feel the pleasant scenery quietly.

Because he knew the importance of combining work and rest, even in this kind of world dominated by gods and mortals can master extraordinary power, mental fatigue cannot be easily recovered by magic or medicine.

For Brian, Burning Life is not just overdrawing blindly, even with a strong body and full mental strength, it will sometimes get tired.

Combining work and rest is a survival strategy to step on the ladder of the strong, and the body is the capital to support and become stronger, and rest is the prelude to running wildly.

He is not a monk who likes to practice self-mutilation, he needs to tap his potential as much as possible.

Even the monks themselves, when their bodies reach a certain limit, they will involuntarily stop, open their bodies and minds, relax all, and use the way of meditation to quietly realize the results of their practice.

Therefore, according to the relationship of time, it is an important condition for him to learn spells to reasonably arrange effective practice. To improve the efficiency of spell learning, what is most needed is a clear and agile mind.

As a spellcaster, proper rest and relaxation are not only beneficial, but also necessary. This can not only improve the efficiency of their own research on mysterious knowledge, but also keep their brains awake and agile forever, so that they will not lose my mind.

When a person can't see and doesn't care about anything except spells, he is already insane. A lunatic who has no sense talks about researching mysteries and exploring the unknown places of the multiverse.

This kind of living habit has been retained to this day even if he has not activated the arcane fire and gained the ability to cast spells for more than ten years.

Normally, after wandering in the wilderness for more than a month, he would involuntarily move closer to the civilization gathering place.

Just like when he stepped into Golden Feather City for the first time, he would comfortably wash away the exhaustion from his whole body.

At this time, the night is as dark as ink, and the stars and the moon are dark.

The girl named Li Jie left early on the grounds of cleaning up the room.

Brian stayed with the owner of the room for a while, and after the room was tidied up, he also said goodbye to him, planning to go to bed early.

He was walking on the stairs leading to the small room in the attic, when he suddenly sensed something, and with a move in his heart, he asked his magic pet with his heart and mind: "How is it, what unexpected discovery?"

During the meal, because Alman had revealed to him that there were undead awakened in the ruins of the castle on the east bank of the Galen River, out of the need for experience points and magical energy, he asked his magic pet to scout in advance to see if there were What powerful undead creatures, or hidden undead sects.

"No, it's just a place of death full of negative energy, not disturbed by man-made necromantic energy." The little devil's words were conveyed to the depths of his heart.

"I see." Brian replied with a little disappointment, and then said abruptly: "I can feel that your expression is very tired, I guess you must have consumed a huge amount of energy just now, I am right. "

This feeling is very strange, just like the little devil in the hotel in Golden Feather City, who did not hesitate to spend his soul power to bestow the power of the White Crow Mercenary Group.

Thinking of the nature of the devil, he realized that his magic pet might take advantage of his time away to do his own private work, to lure mortals with good potential and sign a contract with him.

As a former Grand Duke of the Devil, it is hard to imagine what kind of mortals can fall into his eyes.

The little devil who had been guessed fell into silence all of a sudden.

"Forget it this time, it won't be an example next time." Bryan said coldly: "Before doing this kind of thing in the future, you must get my permission. Otherwise, I think you should know what the consequences will be."

"Understood, my little master." There was a trace of tiredness in the little devil's tone, and then he lost his breath.

Brian didn't pay any attention to him anymore. After all, the current little devil's help to him in the future is immeasurable, and there is still a lot of use value, so naturally he can't be squeezed too hard.

And he is also very clear that the original contract signed with the magic pet, as long as his strength has not reached the legendary level, it is impossible for him to find a chance to tear it up, and it is fine to turn a blind eye to some things.

If it's like guarding against thieves every day, it's better not to.

Brian walked into the corridor of the attic and went to the room that Li Jie had packed for him.

Before he reached the door, he suddenly noticed someone hiding inside.

Thinking of the past made his eyes in the dark slightly cold, so he flipped his palm, and a dagger appeared in his palm, and then turned the doorknob as if nothing had happened.

The room was dark, but for Brian, who had low-light vision, it didn't matter much.

He entered the room with slow movements and closed the door carefully.

The moment he turned around, he suddenly became angry and threw himself at the figure sitting on the bed.

With a soft cry, the two rolled into a ball on the bed sheet.

Brian took the opportunity to press the dagger in his right hand against the figure's neck, his left hand held down the two arms trying to resist, and his right leg just suppressed the struggling lower body's two legs.

The body is soft and slender, without any resistance, and there is a fragrance of chamomile, which is the first feeling he came into contact with.

"Good skill."

The figure lowered his voice and lay motionless under him, "I guessed that this kind of thing would happen, but I didn't expect your reaction to make me powerless. Do you think we have sex like this?"

"It's you, Li Jie." Brian saw the girl under him clearly, even so, he had no intention of letting go.

"Of course it's me, do you even need to think about it?"

The girl blinked playfully in the dark, and whispered: "Please, take your dagger away from my throat, and your hand, it's so hard, it makes me prick and itchy."

Brian was unmoved and looked directly into the girl's sea-blue eyes with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her heart and thoughts.

"Okay." The girl sighed in the dark, and whispered calmly:
"Don't get me wrong, dear adventurer, I don't mean anything malicious. In this case, I think you have two options. First, you can choose to climb off of me. The two of us sit down and have a good time. Talk. Second, I'll sleep with you in your arms until dawn, but I hope you at least take your boots off when we go to bed.

Disclaimer in advance, no matter how you choose, I will not leave tonight.

In order not to be discovered by my father, I came in through the window. The roof is too steep and the night is too deep. I would rather wait until dawn before leaving, and I don’t want to hurt myself in the dark.I'm a girl with a delicate body, and I can't sleep if there's a pea under the mattress.Unless, of course, the mat is... stuffed with straw, how do you choose? "

Brian gave her a strange look, and let the girl go.

He stood by the bed, watching her every move.

At this time, she had already changed from the dress she wore when they first met, and was wearing a plain dress.

He didn't find any weapons on her, and she didn't look like a murderer.

Li Jie sat up from the bed, and straightened her messy hair and dress by herself.

"Can you light the candle?"

She got up from the bed, walked lightly to the table with bare feet and sat down, her soft body leaned against the back of the chair, her slender legs folded on the table,
"I'm different from you. I'm just an extremely ordinary human girl. I can't see anything in the dark, so I want to see your face clearly and talk to you."

"I don't think we have anything to talk about."

Brian put away the dagger in his palm, and with a thought, the candles on the table flickered with trembling flames, flashing a pair of eyes that were sometimes shy, sometimes arrogant, and sometimes... evil.

evil?

Even Brian didn't know why he associated this word with this girl.

"I'm going to rest. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Please, keep your voice down."

The girl looked at the candle in surprise, and reminded in a low voice: "You will wake up my father, you have to understand, how can there be nothing to talk about between us, I am like a she-cat in March Crawling into your room, will there be less to talk about?"

"It's much quieter this way." Brian waved his hand, and the room was enveloped in a faint enchantment of silence.

"Magic is really amazing!" The girl looked around, she was amazed, and praised enviously, "Oh, by the way, can you change wine? I think we can chat while drinking."

"Get to the point!" Brian reminded, frowning.

Vaguely, he seemed to have guessed the purpose of this girl's coming here.

In fact, this kind of similar situation is not uncommon for him.

In his career as an adventurer, sometimes when he settled in the village, relying on his charm and strength, it is not surprising that he occasionally attracted some girls to dedicate himself.

Of course, their purpose is also very simple and pure, it is for money.

Everyone knows that powerful adventurers get money very easily, and naturally spend it lavishly.

Because of this, it attracts girls who take the initiative.

In this case, if he was pleasing to the eye, he would not refuse such a pleasant invitation. He would just give the other party a handful of gold coins as a reward for this transaction after finishing the work.

Only in this way can he set out on the road with peace of mind.

Because this pleasant transaction comes without any liability.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but began to carefully look at Li Jie under the candlelight.

The girl was dressed in simple and plain clothes, with long blond hair hanging unevenly, her beautiful face did not need any modification at all, she had a smile on her face, and no pink clouds floated up because of his unscrupulous gaze.

Clearly, she seemed well prepared.

"You're so boring, let me tell you straight, I'm here for the money." The girl raised her arms, stretched, and met Brian's gaze:
"My father owes a gambling debt to the casino in Oak Town. The deadline is almost up. I don't have time to make up the debt. The only way is to let me marry the miller, so the miller is willing to help me pay off the debt. ..."

"Is this what your father meant?" Brian sat on the bed and couldn't help but take a deep breath. The slightly bitter fragrance of chamomile lingered in his nose.

"No!"

The girl shook her head. At that fleeting moment, she seemed a little helpless and extremely sad: "That's what I meant. Relatively speaking, he would rather let me marry the miller."

"I think your father is right." Brian hesitated, "The miller is dying, and if you marry him, not only can you help your father pay off his gambling debts, but you can also inherit his inheritance. widow of..."

"Ghost knows when he will die!"

The girl straightened up suddenly, lowered her legs, and interrupted Brian's words with a gnashed voice, "A month? Half a year? Or a year? It's scary to think about it. I want to accompany an old man every day, with him Sleeping in the same bed, hugging each other, using the same towel, and farting in the same bed, in case he has any special hobbies... I would rather die if I lived like that."

"So you found me." Brian couldn't help laughing at her funny words.

In fact, he didn't dislike such a straightforward girl. It was a good choice to spend a good night with her and help her solve her difficulties at the same time.

"That's right." The girl secretly took a look at Brian, lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "It can be seen that you are a powerful adventurer, and my little suffering should not trouble you. Besides, you still Saved me once, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you are the type I like in my heart, and I will not suffer if I give it to you. "

"Give it to me?" Brian didn't quite understand what the girl meant.

"As long as you are willing to help me pay off the 50 gold coin gambling debt owed by my father." Li Jie smiled slightly and made a face under the orange candlelight, "I am willing to go with you and become your woman... you Think about it, I am only as young as a flower..."

"I think you must have misunderstood." Brian stopped quickly, "You are right, although I am rich, what I want is not for you to be with me."

In fact, what really surprised him was that the girl's father owed so much gambling debt.

From the meaning of the other party's words, it can be heard that the 50 gold coins are only lacking after patchwork, which means that his father probably owes more than 50 gold coins.

You know, 1 gold coin is enough to buy a goat, let alone 50 gold coins.

No wonder this girl was forced into such a situation.

It's not that he can't afford the money, it's just that he is curious about how the other party owed so much debt.

Immediately afterwards, he recalled in his mind the pair of dice made of finger bones that he had seen on the fireplace table when he first entered the hall. Each dice also had a skull pattern painted on the six o'clock side. .

His instinct told himself that the problem might be here.

This made him secretly keep it in his mind and plan to check it carefully when he left tomorrow.

"Then what do you want?" The girl was stunned for a moment, her hand lifting the hem of her skirt paused for a moment, she tightened her clothes and looked at Brian with a slightly nervous expression.

"You have to know that any gift given by fate is secretly priced. Don't try to get away with it, because it will come back to collect the bill one day."

Brian met her somewhat panicked gaze, "I don't want your people anymore. As long as you stay with me sincerely for one night, we will be settled. What do you think?"

"I think this is a very fair deal. It seems that I have read the right person. Of course, please believe me. After you try it, you will definitely not regret your decision."

The girl looked relieved, but the disappointment in her eyes did not escape Brian's meaningful gaze.

She stood up from the chair, gently twirled her skirt, and looked at the man sitting on the bed, with a cheerful smile on her reddish face, "Then... Dear Adventurer, do you need me to take off your clothes now?" "

"No, actually I'm not in a hurry, please allow me to ask." Brian admired the girl's body with great interest and smiled in surprise, "Is this your first time?"

"You can guess it, maybe there will be a surprise." Li Jie blew on a strand of hair that slid to her forehead, and blinked her eyes, her sea-blue eyes sparkling.

"I don't like unknown accidents. It makes me feel insecure. It's better to know the truth in advance."

Brian took a deep look at her, and the slightly bitter scent of chamomile was slowly approaching him.

"Really? In that case, you will have to pay double the money..."

Li Jie looked at him provocatively, and couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckling.

Then, she reached down, grabbed the hem of her coarse tulle skirt, pulled it up smoothly over her head, and threw it aside.

Just as Brian expected, the girl's youthful body was completely displayed in front of him.

In the darkness outside, a cat screamed.
