Gold is Justice

Brad nodded quickly: "Understood! President, Vice President! I will try my best to clean!"

As he spoke, he put his arms around Buffy and walked upstairs quickly.After a while, I heard crackling sounds from above, and I didn't know whether this guy was cleaning or demolishing his house.

Airl let out a breath, walked to the bar and sat down, and let out a long breath.

"What task did you complete? And let you recruit two members."

Napa poured a glass of water from the water tank beside it, slid it on the bar, and delivered it to Airl.

Ai Luo took out eight copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Before I took the task, I had 84 gold, 2 silver and 7 copper. To prepare the salt water potion, I spent 2 copper for salt, 1 copper for a bottle, and 5 copper for a bottle. Iron to buy food on the road. Now the task has earned 8 copper coins, so to sum it up, my current deposit is 84 gold coins, 3 silver coins, 1 copper coin and 5 iron coins."

Napa landed on the cushion, her tail shook slightly, and she said in a lazy tone, "It sounds like you're still far away from your goal of 1000 gold coins."

Ai Luo said with a smile: "It's not bad to get a successful order after opening the door. What's more, I have additional gains."

"Extra harvest?"

Airl knew very well that the cat wasn't curious, so asking this was probably just out of curiosity.

However, Ai Luo still took out the magic power crystal from his pocket and put it in front of Napa, and said, "How is it? Magic power crystal, I'm surprised! I didn't expect to be able to find the magic power crystal for the first time in my mission!"

The moment Napa, who was still lazy at first, saw the crystallization of magic power, her indifferent eyes immediately became energetic!Its body also raised a little bit, and its eyes were fixed on this crystal.

Ai Luo pretended that he didn't see Napa's eyes, and continued to "show off" himself: "Amazing, right? Let me tell you! Such magic power crystals can be sold for at least 1 gold coin in the capital. With a more beautiful box, I can sell it for more than 5 gold coins! Hee hee, so I have made a lot of money on this task!"

Hearing that Napa was going to sell the magic power crystal, Napa seemed a little regretful.Its eyes were still fixed on the crystal, but unexpectedly Airl stretched out his hand and put the crystal back into his pocket.

"Hey! Ariel!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Arrow gave a questioning expression.

Napa seemed very hesitant. It adjusted its posture back and forth on the cushion several times, and finally seemed to make up its mind, and said, "Can you give me this crystal?"

"Give you?"

Arrow believed that his face must be full of surprise.If he could, he really wanted to take out the mirror and take a good look at his expression.

As if making up her mind, Napa nodded and said, "Give me the magic crystal. Although I can't give you gold coins...but I really need this crystal now. If you are willing to give it to me, then I will definitely How about repaying you in other ways?"

Airl immediately shook his head, showing a very resolute attitude: "Isn't your joke too big? I have worked so hard all night to finally get the magic power crystallization, and you will pass it with a word? Are you going to use it?" It’s not that I don’t know that I’m so short of money right now.”

Napa was also a little anxious. She raised her paw and scratched it in mid-air, as if thinking of a convincing reason. After a long time, she choked out a sentence: "It can restore a little bit of my strength! You can also Have you seen my power? If I regain my power, your guild will benefit too, won't it?"

Airl looked at Napa, and then at the magic crystal in his palm. After struggling for a long time, he finally frowned, walked back to the counter with a sad face, and placed the magic crystal in front of Napa.

"Okay, okay! You've already said that, so this magic crystal must be very important to you, right? Take it, take it! Just treat it as a good deed for me!"

Napa immediately nodded to Airl, and at the same time quickly opened her mouth, took this magic crystal in her mouth, closed her eyes and lay down on the cushion, meditating.

Airl yawned again, showing a very regretful look, went upstairs, gave some instructions to Brad and Buffy who were still cleaning the room, and then went back to his room.

Close the door, take off your hat, and let your hair down.

Arrow combed his hair slowly in front of the mirror. After spending the whole night in the damp and dark forest, his hair was really uncomfortably stuffy.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ai Luo swept away the frowning face just now, and a faint smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Magic crystals, of course, are good things.

But a good thing needs someone to bid for it to be a good thing.

Priceless treasures seem to be very noble, but from another perspective, they are actually no different from garbage.

If it is in Chaohai City, the capital of the Blue Bay Empire, then of course it can be sold for one or two gold coins.

But in this remote Pelican Town, who would offer a gold coin to buy this thing?

The existence value of commodities lies in the exchange. If the exchange cannot be carried out, then the existence value of commodities will only continue to depreciate.If it is finally damaged by accidents such as loss or fire, then this magic crystal will bring you a completely negative value.

Instead of leaving it in your hands and being unable to exchange it, it is better to exchange it for something more useful.

For example...the cat's affection, and the guilt towards himself.

These emotional investments may not seem to have immediate economic benefits, but may have greater economic value in the long run.

Arrow didn't go to bed until his hair was done, to catch up on his sleep.

All the novels you want to read can be downloaded for you on Lanwen.com:

It's just that he still has some regrets. The economics faction of the old Tengshu College doesn't teach how to make a fortune. Now whether these theories of his can really bring economic value to him, he can only take a step at a time.

----

After a good morning's rest, Arrow regained his energy, restyled his hair, put on his hat and went downstairs.

First of all, I went to the gate and took a look...there was still no entrustment request on the task board.

"Hello, Ariel."

Arrow turned to see Napa sitting on the cushion looking at him now.Its appearance doesn't seem to have changed. Could it be that the magic power crystal hasn't changed?

However, Airl's doubts lasted only a short time before they were dispelled by the cat's words.

"...You don't have magical affinity. Judging by your physical fitness, you are not made to be a fighter."

Arrow knew that his investment was paying off.

At that moment, he spread his hands and said helplessly, "Didn't you already know this?"

Napa tilted her head to look at Airl, and continued after a while, "I saw you concocting the salt water potion yourself yesterday. Where did you learn this alchemy?"

Airl: "The library of the old Tengshu school."

Napa: "The library is still open to economics students like you? Let you consult alchemy books unconditionally?"

Airl sat down on the bar chair and said with a smile: "It's not limited to alchemy books, combat department, magic department, you can read them as long as you want. The library is open to all students, and there are no banned books. area or something."

Napa: "No distinction? Open to all students? Then what if the students of the warrior department read the books of the magic department all day long? If the students of your economic department keep reading these alchemy, magic, and combat books, Why does your school have such detailed factions?"

Airl raised his finger and drew a circle in mid-air, and said, "First of all, I'm telling the truth. The library of Lao Tengshu College does not set any obstacles to the factions of students. Not only the library, even the economics department If the students of the magic department are willing to sit in on the courses of the magic department, or if the students of the magic department want to learn tactics as a melee mage, then no one will hinder them at all. It is enough to apply for an audit, and the application is only for filing, and no one will hinder it. "

"Secondly, if students in the Department of Economics really have the talent to become fighters or magicians, they can just transfer to another department! Why do they have to stay in the Department of Economics? Similarly, if they feel that they are more suitable for the other two departments, then transfer to another department." Department. Old Teng Shu would not say that once you enter a certain department, you must stick to it. If you think you can do it, then transfer. If you feel that you are really not suitable for the other two departments, you can’t catch up with their courses and study , then just stay in your own faction honestly.”

"So, I can read some superficial magic books. I am also good at basic alchemy such as salt water potions. But I have also read more advanced magic books, and I can't understand them at all. In addition, I don't have magic powers. And, I've been insulated from magic for the rest of my life."

Napa silently waited for Airl to finish speaking. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke——

"Then, do you want to learn alchemy systematically?"

Airl still maintains the most basic smiling expression, he seems to be smiling happily, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be a mechanical reaction, which makes Napa somewhat unable to see what the girl is thinking .

"I don't think I need to repeat it again, you should know that I don't have magic affinity?"

Airl said with a smile on his face, in a casual manner.

Napa shook her tail slightly, and adjusted her position on the cushion——

"I know this very well. On a general level, alchemy is a branch of magic theory. Only people with magic affinity can learn alchemy. The stronger the magic affinity, the more powerful alchemy can be used technique."

This was no different than what Airl knew.

To put it bluntly, magic is a kind of talent, it is that certain people are born with the ability to communicate with various elements in nature, so as to guide their power for their own use.The ability to communicate with the elements of nature is called magical affinity.

Alchemy, on the other hand, is to perceive the amount of magic elements in all things in the world through one's own magic affinity, and combine these elements according to one's own needs, so as to form the result desired by the magician.This is why alchemists are basically all famous magicians.

However, Airl didn't intend to rush to correct the subject with the cat. After all, it might have some reason to say that.

"For an ordinary person like you who doesn't have any magical affinity at all, alchemy should be insulated from you. But...helping you is helping myself. I will teach you another alchemy. This alchemy There is no need for magic affinity at all, just enough patience and perseverance. Of course, it may take a lot of time for trial and error..."

Having said that, Napa's voice suddenly softened.Arrow knew that the cat finally understood the problem with his words.

Airl breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the bar chair, put his hands on his hips, and said, "Sounds like an amazing alchemy. Then, if someone with a magical affinity comes to learn it, can it be better?" How about learning your alchemy?"

The cat thought about it for a long time before nodding in agreement: "It would be the best if it has a magic affinity. Any alchemy has a higher magic affinity and a stronger ability."

"Okay, how about I learn it later when I have time?" Airl watched the cat's expression, watching it change from a confident face to a depressed one.He knew, he guessed right.

Napa's face should also be very clear that there is something wrong with her alchemy, but she didn't seem to give up. She raised her head again and said, "Don't you want to try it? As long as you work hard enough, you who have no magic power It is not necessarily true that a person can become a 'quasi-magician'! Moreover, the price of alchemy products is not cheap!"

Arrow got up from the bar chair and walked towards the back kitchen.Napa also floated up to follow.

Entering the back kitchen, Airo put on an apron, prepared the vegetables and meat he had bought before, and began to process the ingredients for dinner.

His movements are fast and skilful.Although Napa had always known the girl to be quick, this was the first time she had seen Arrow cook, seeing a mass of ingredients quickly turned into an exquisite meal.

"What is your identity? You are so proficient in cooking, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a rich lady who is eligible to enter the Old Tengshu Academy."

There was a smile on the corner of Airl's mouth, he flicked the kitchen knife in his hand, and sliced ​​the meat into the pot: "Napa, if I was born to run slower than others, now you tell me, as long as I work hard, I will be able to run faster one day." Faster than others. Do you think I should really keep practicing?"

Napa looked around and saw that there was no place for it to land. After hesitating for a moment, she simply landed on Airl's hat and lay down: "Why not? Work hard, struggle, isn't it right?"

"Hahahaha, no."

Picking up a pot of dishes, Ai Luo began to thicken the soup and said with a smile: "I practice running hard, so why do I think that those who already run faster than me don't practice running equally hard? Since I If I can't outrun others, why can't I ride a horse, hitchhike, or take a shortcut to reach my destination before those who can run faster than me? Or to put it another way, why do I have to reach this destination? I can't go the other way Running in one direction? Who stipulated that there is always only one destination in life, and no other goals are allowed?"

"It's like I don't become a magician, but I can provide hotels and food for the food and accommodation of the magicians. Even if some magicians can create their own food and accommodation through magic, what about the physical needs of their servants? What do they need to live in? What about houses? Book bindings? Pens and inks? Crafting? I can be the best on the other side."

This was the first time Napa had heard such remarks, and for a while she seemed not to know how to react.

"Similarly, like many ordinary people, I am not born with magic affinity. If this is the case, why should I work so hard on my natural shortcomings, in order to achieve what magicians can easily do? What's the matter? Well, it sounds very inspirational to achieve the same power as a magician through my own efforts. But it takes me far more time than a magician to learn alchemy, and it takes far more energy than a magician to achieve this step .”

"I believe that there may indeed be such people in this world."

"But since this kind of person is able to practice their own shortcomings as well as others' strengths, why don't people with this kind of perseverance put their efforts on their own strengths?"

"I work hard to practice your alchemy. Maybe one day I can become like those magicians and use a lot of cool magic. But... I am just chasing blindly. Is it possible to surpass the magic power of those magicians? "

"If it's hard for me to surpass a normal magician at this point, why shouldn't I put my time, energy and perseverance on other things?"

While talking, four dishes and one soup had been cooked. Ai Luo brought the food to the counter, ordered another pot of noodles, and brought it out to the dining table outside.

"Brad, Buffy, it's dinner time!"

Arrow roared upstairs, and Brad ran happily from the room immediately.There was still a lot of dust on his body and shoulders, and he looked dirty.Buffy flew directly down from the second floor, drooling looking at the plate of honey with green silk fruit on the table.

"...I can't say enough about you."

Napa looked very upset. In a bad mood, she flew up from Arrow's head and landed on the cushion on the bar again, wagging her tail.

Brad was yelled at by Airl to wash his hands, but Buffy was surprised by Napa's mood and asked, "(Fairy language) what's wrong?"

"(Fairy) Nothing."
