A few gold coins are indeed not much for a group of wizard apprentices with extraordinary abilities, but Yaluo's situation is a bit special, especially since he also has a big gold swallower on hand - 'Magic Fighting Technique'.
When Harvey's shopkeeper heard that Yaro was short of money, his expression immediately made him wary: "I don't have any money either. Look at my business, it's so deserted! Now...hey, I have a terrible headache!"
Yaro couldn't laugh or cry.
"Okay, okay, a few gold coins, I'm a little short on hand, um... I'll leave this cross sword with you. I'll borrow ten gold coins first, and I'll pay them back when I get back from delivering the things. Is this okay with you?"
The cross sword in Yaro's hand is a treasure of mortal swords given by the little fat man Kaitarn. Although he and Yaro have fought together for a long time, it is well maintained. If it is really sold, it will be worth dozens of gold coins no matter what.
As an alchemist, Harvey's shop owner naturally has a good eye, and his trait of being a profiteer made him immediately enthusiastic.
"Oh, brother Yue, it's not, it's not! By the way, let's borrow a day, right? Oops! One day is too short, isn't it a rush for you to run back and forth? Three days, how about three days? That's okay, right? ?Okay, then I’ll write it.”
As he spoke, Harvey's shopkeeper familiarly wrote the terms of the mortgage loan.
Looking at the rows and rows of rigorous regulations, it seems that he really does this kind of thing a lot.
Shopkeeper Harvey handed over the contract that was still wet with ink: "Please sign here again. Well, it would be better if you could leave a magic seal."
Yaro really couldn't laugh or cry: "My sword is already here with you, so you don't need to go to such trouble, right?"
The magic seal is similar to a fingerprint, containing different magic fluctuations for each person. Naturally, Yaro cannot leave it behind.
As for the name...it's impossible to keep the name 'Yaro Ghana'?
Harvey's shop owner said bitterly and with deep hatred:
"So what if you suppress it? What if you don't come to redeem it, will I still keep it for you? What should I do if you don't come after one or two years? If I sell this sword by then, you will If you come back to trouble me again, should I still compensate you for this store?"
Yaro was speechless.
"Okay, I'll sign it. I won't keep the magic seal. It doesn't matter if my name is signed 'Moon', right? You should also know the reason."
"You can directly sign 'Moon Dancer', and everyone will know it's you when they see this name." Harvey's shop owner said very considerately.
"OK."
Yaro picked up the pen and was about to put pen to paper when he suddenly noticed a paragraph on the contract: three days' interest of 3 gold coins!
“Aren’t the interest rates a bit exaggerated?”
Yaro tapped the line of words with his pen, raised his head and said displeasedly.
"What's the interest rate? I'll lend you ten gold coins and you'll pay me back thirteen. It won't be less or higher. It's just that after three days, the sword will be mine." Harvey's shopkeeper was on business. The official way.
As a group of wizard apprentices, all they earn is magic stones. Ten gold coins are naturally nothing. Thirteen gold coins, at most, means that the two of them have no human contact. If you think about it carefully, it's not too much.
Yaro glanced at the cross sword next to him.
He fought with that long sword countless times.
It has cut down evil spirits, cut down living people, cut down skeletons... The long sword also suffered some damage due to many collisions, but Yaro used alchemy to make up for it.
During this process, Yaro also figured out the material of the entire sword - it was just a normal high-quality mortal sword.
"So, Harvey's shop owner just doesn't want to have any human contact with him?"
"Oh, that's right. I'm already a big trouble. I even blackmailed him a lot of money earlier. He naturally wants me to stay as far away from him as possible."
"Even if I asked someone to send the 'Ghost Ghost Orchid' to him, it would also be a big trouble in his eyes."
After a pause, Yaro carefully checked the contract and made sure there was nothing unusual. According to Harvey's shop owner, he left the signature of 'Moon Dancer' on it.
After receiving the gold coin from Harvey's shopkeeper, Yaro thanked him sincerely:
"Thank you very much! When I earn magic stones, I will make up for the cost of the materials I took from you before..."
Harvey's shop owner yawned continuously, waved his hands and said:
"No, it's not what we agreed to. Those are the portrait fees for you or something? Is that the name? Well, we have settled that matter a long time ago."
Yaro nodded and said no more.
He also knows in his mind what is due and what is owed.
Shopkeeper Harvey is just a small alchemist in a remote alchemy workshop. He himself just follows the trend and imitates with the people around him. It is impossible to blame all the sins on him just because he is the best imitator.
If we really want to pursue the 'image fee', Jungle House, which issued the wanted order without Yarrow's permission, can be called the real mastermind.
For Harvey, a single shop owner, the punishment for taking a copy of the 'Magic Phoenix Golden Armor' from him is already too severe.
However, considering that he was allowed to continue selling it later, taking into account the 'fine' for taking it without asking and the subsequent real 'endorsement fees', it still makes sense to get a set of 'Demon Phoenix Golden Armor Imitation'.
However, the subsequent modification of the Demonic Phoenix Golden Armor and the use of more than a hundred magic stones were a bit excessive.
"It's useless to say more. When I earn the magic stone, I can just put it in front of him."
"As for those gold coins, when we return to the viscounty territory, we will use some in the territory's warehouse."
…
The Viscount Territory is close to the Dark Plains, so even if Yaro wants to send all these 'Ghost Orchids' to the 'Tree Demon Forest', he still needs to pass through the capital city of the Viscount Territory, 'Leix City'.
Lix means thorns in the Sinte language, and also means "flowers blooming in the bitter cold". According to the memories of some old people in the city, the city of Lix was once surrounded by a sea of flowers, but it's a pity that those flowers have long since It was excavated, but what was left were large tracts of fields.
The most ridiculous thing is here.
With so much fertile farmland, the city is now teetering on the edge of famine.
When he heard that Yaro wanted to withdraw 13 gold coins, Dylan complained repeatedly: "Lord Yaro, the food gap is really too big. There is simply not enough money in the warehouse. Recently, I have been arranging for people to peel off the gold inlaid in the Viscount's Mansion. Silver, just to scrape together some money and continue to purchase grain.”
"No money?"
Yaro was stunned. Although he didn't care about anything, when he took over the viscount's territory, he also checked the accounting books. At that time, there were hundreds of gold coins and tens of thousands of silver coins in the warehouse!
"A hundred gold coins are not enough?"
"Not enough!" Dylan affirmed, "Now the surrounding lords are sitting on the ground raising their prices. One pound of grain has been raised to 47 pence per silver coin by them, and depending on the situation, it may increase in the future."
