maid war

Chapter 56 Antiquities Market in Port Kapple

Although the short-lived owner of the bloody instructor has never appeared in the game, there is a portrait of him in the dungeon, and he will come into contact with it more or less during the mission.

If there is no Saskia, Green may not think of the portrait of the background character at all, but with Saskia and the underwear on Saskia as a reference, Green instantly thinks of the background man.

Finding out that he turned out to be the legendary "background man", Green felt that his whole body was not good.It feels like a Taoist priest suddenly told you: "Young man, you are destined to masturbate for the rest of your life. Even if you go to a hair salon, you will be doomed to be severely punished."

Madacqua!Can you speak nicely?
Before, Green was still worried that Saskia might be abducted directly if she met the owner of her "destiny"!For example, Guan Zhangzhao, the best hero in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, immediately became very fond of Liu Bei and locked in a loyalty of 100 after meeting Liu Bei-you really can't reason with this kind of Long Aotian-style plot.But when Green discovered that he was "very similar" to the owner of Saskia's "destiny", Green no longer had to worry about his maid being abducted by the "noble boy" who popped out suddenly, but Green had to do it for her. I'm worried about my own life.

As a "background man", Green didn't even leave his name in the game, and the only title he left behind was "Sakia Betsy's Master", a name full of tricks.If you go down according to the plot in the game, then Green will be separated from Saskia, the spiritual connection between master and servant will be broken, and the spiritual connection will be lost. When they met for the first time, Saskia gave Green the Dzi Bead as a "bad guy pretending to be his master"!
Green feels bad!
As a player, Green certainly doesn't believe in those so-called "fate".What is the difference between a time traveler who cannot change the plot and a salted fish?However, what Green didn't expect was that he was "running the plot" from beginning to end. The "encounter" and "deepening relationship" between himself and Saskia were arranged by "fate" from beginning to end, which made Green feel helpless. I don't pay attention to my "established destiny".

Green doesn't want to be Cassandra in Greek mythology.

The trouble is, because the relevant plots are very limited, although Green knows the ending of the "background man", he has no idea why the "background man" in the game is separated from Saskia, which makes Green feel very passive , Even if you want to start to change the plot, you don't know where to start.

The only thing Green can do now is to try to avoid being separated from Saskia.But what if there are special circumstances?

"It's so stupid! I just know the ending, but don't know the process, how can I change the plot!?"

Because he had something on his mind, Green was still in a daze until he walked out of the locker room.

"Guest, are you satisfied with the clothes I chose?" The female boss smiled and said, "If you think the size is not suitable, I can help you measure the bust and choose another one." Obviously, the female boss also seemed to find that There is some discrepancy between Saskia's actual bust and the data that Green said before.

"There's no need to change it, just that one." Although Green also felt that the size was wrong, but since Saskia liked it, there was nothing he could do.

Although the underwear uses very little fabric, the price is not cheap. The price of twenty gold pameters is almost equal to the price of a green weapon, which makes Green feel a heartache.Even underwear made of pure gold is only worth this price, right?
Although the price of underwear is very expensive, it is worth the money if it can be exchanged for Saskia's favorability - if she does not kill Green in the future.

After buying the underwear, Green bid farewell to the enthusiastic female boss and left Simon's clothing store.

Although the fate of the future made Green feel very uneasy, what should be done still had to be done.This morning, Green still has a lot to buy.

After leaving the clothing store, Green took Saskia straight to the second-hand market.

Due to the low level of basic industry development in the world of Io, the price of handicraft products is usually relatively high. If people don't use things, they usually choose to sell them in the second-hand market instead of throwing them away as garbage like on the earth.The antique market in Port Kapoor is located in the southeast area of ​​Port Kapoor. It is an open-air market with a somewhat messy environment, and most of the shops are in the form of street stalls. Generally, civilians or adventurers with limited economic conditions will come here.

The market is very lively, and whenever Green stops in front of a stall, there will be vendors selling their products to Green.Most of the vendors here are second-hand traders. They buy old things from other residents and sell them here.Green ignored the vendors selling goods, and led Saskia through the market, looking for what he wanted.

Soon, Green stopped in front of a stall selling various books.

There are only a dozen pitiful books on the street stall. From the perspective of people on earth, this book is not worthy of being called a "bookstore".But in fact, so many books are not too few.

Because of the existence of magic power, the world of Io cannot produce cheap wood pulp paper—to be precise, the paper made of wood pulp does not have the ability to resist magic, and will soon be corroded and aged by magic power, and will eventually turn into a pile dust.In the game, some players tried to transport the papermaking technology on the earth to the world of Io, but once the produced paper encountered the monthly "magic night", the structure collapsed instantly and turned into a pool of dust.

There is no cheap text carrier, which naturally means that the price of books will not be too low.So despite the fact that there are only a dozen books here, their value has actually far exceeded the value of the groceries on many stalls.

"Guest, do you want to buy a book?" The bookseller who set up the stall was a little old man with a mustache and a rat-headed look that looked a bit cunning.

"Hmm." Green glanced at the books on the floor stand, "Do you have any spell books here?"

Hearing Green's words, the little old man's eyes flashed brightly: "Yes! But it's not cheap."

"Show me."

The little old man looked Green up and down, hesitated, opened the wooden box that was just sitting under his buttocks, took out a worn black book from it, and shook it in front of Green, but he didn't hand it to Green. .

Green: "Show me the book."

"That's impossible." The little old man shook his head hastily, "Books are worthless after being read."

Green couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "This is a spell book, not an ordinary miscellaneous book. A spell book is equipment that needs to be carried with you, just like a warrior's sword."

The little old man still shook his head stubbornly: "If you want to read it, just read it like this. If you get the book and run away, I will die."

Green was dumbfounded by the little old man in front of him: "Do you want to do business? Then tell me how many unused blank pages there are in this spell book."

"There are... no blank pages."

"So do you have a blank spellbook?"

The little old man looked embarrassed: "This is the only one I have here."

Looking at the black book in the little old man's hand, Green frowned involuntarily: "Show me the book, if all the spells on it are my own, why should I buy it?"

"Hmm~" The little old man rolled his eyes, "Okay, I can show you the book, but for ten seconds at most."

"From the perspective of thickness, this book should be twelve pages of spell notes, right? At least one minute, I have to see exactly which spells are in it before deciding whether to buy it."

"Okay, here you are." The little old man readily handed the spell book in his hand to Green.

Green glanced at the little old man in front of him unexpectedly, and felt that the little old man's attitude changed a little quickly.Although it felt a little strange, Green still reached out to take the spell book, opened it, and took a look.

Although he pretended to be reading a book, in fact Green's attention was entirely on the system.The twelve pages of the spell book are densely packed with words. Judging from the description in the book, there should be a total of twelve spells recorded on it, but the system shows that there are only three spells to learn.

They are Mage's Hand, Repairing Minor Injuries, and Reading Magic, three zero-ring spells, and they are all very practical zero-ring spells.Unfortunately, since the ownership of this spell book does not belong to Green, Green cannot directly learn the above spells through the system even if he holds the spell book. If he wants to learn the above spells, he must make the ownership of the item his own.

"Hmm... three gold coins." Green quoted his price.

"You're joking!" The little old man jumped up, "This is a spell book! At least ten gold coins, not a word!"

"If this is really a spell book, ten gold coins is really not expensive." Green sneered, and quickly turned to a few pages in the book, "This page, this page, and this page. Two gold coins, I'll buy These three pages, the rest you can keep for yourself to mold."

The little old man looked at the spell book, then at Green: "What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, only the contents on these three pages of this spell book are correct, and the rest are all problematic." Green couldn't help but frowned, "Which wild magic apprentice did you pick it up from? What rubbish? I copied nine out of twelve spells by mistake, which is ridiculous."

"Eh..." The expression on the little old man's face suddenly became a little awkward.

"Two gold coins, just tear off these three pages and give them to me. How about it? It's a fair price." Green closed the book and handed it back to the little old man, "Or three gold coins, sell this book directly to Me too."

The little old man hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: "Sorry. The price is too low."

"Then there is no other way." Green stood up, "I'll go shopping elsewhere."

Watching Green leave, the little old man sat on the box, stroking the spell book in his hand, a trace of indescribable complex emotions flashed in his eyes, as if he was stroking his old friend.

"So, did I go the wrong way from the beginning?"
