Lanya rubbed her already red and swollen eyes and sobbed softly.
Lin Ge comforted him: "Don't take it too seriously. Those gold coins are of no use in my world anyway."
"But, but... ugh, not only can I not defeat the spiders outside the city, I can't even do such a small thing as helping you keep your gold coins." Lanya still couldn't hold back her tears.
Ringer was surprised: "You have gone to the spider cave outside the city?"
Lanya nodded: "I know you don't want to fight, so I want to solve the registration request alone, but there are too many spiders. I can't collect its fangs even if I kill one."
Ringer asked again: "When did you find out that the gold coins were missing?"
"In the morning during dinner."
"Did you meet any strange people after you went out this morning?"
Lanya thought for a while and answered no.
"Except when paying bills, have you ever taken off your hat?"
Lanya shook her head again.
"What about when you were sleeping last night?"
"No, I was meditating last night."
Lin Ge pondered: "So, the prisoner did it yesterday. Where did you go after you separated from me yesterday? Did you meet any strange people? Or strange things?"
Lanya showed a thoughtful expression and whispered: "Yesterday after I separated from you, I went to the Magic Restaurant in the West City to eat. At that time, I took out the money bag once, and then I left the city to go to the Spider Cave..."
"Yes, it's possible that you were targeted at that time. When you went out of the city, did you feel that someone was following you?"
"No……"
"Have you ever taken off your hat since you left the city?"
Lanya suddenly remembered something and said, "I remembered that when I escaped from the spider cave yesterday, my hat was blown away by spider silk. Maybe it fell out at that time."
Lanya's expression dropped: "If that's the case, maybe someone has picked it up. I promised to keep the gold coins for you, but it was lost just one day ago. I..."
Lanya raised her head suddenly, her tearful eyes showing determination.
"I promise you, I will be responsible. I will work hard to make money and return these gold coins to you, but it may take a long time. Please trust me and give me some time."
Lin Ge said: "Actually, you don't have to..."
But Lanya was extremely determined: "No, I must pay it back."
Seeing this, Lin Ge could only agree: "Okay, I believe you, but you don't have to worry, just pay it back slowly, and I won't charge you any interest."
After making up her mind to pay off the debt, Lanya's mood became much more stable, and Linger made another cup of "mimosa" for her.
This kind of wine only needs champagne and fresh orange juice, so it is very quick to prepare. Even if champagne is not available, you can use other sparkling wine instead, or even use soda water to make an alcohol-free version.
The rich bubbles dilute the sweetness of orange juice and increase the pleasure of drinking. She should be happier after drinking this.
Looking at the bright yellow drink in front of her, the gentle color and bubbles in it made Lanya interested.
Taking a careful sip, the sweet and refreshing taste immediately captured her heart, and the bubbles in the wine kept hitting her soft tongue and mouth, bringing a different kind of fun, making her temporarily forget all the unpleasantness.
She raised her head, her light purple eyes sparkling with moving luster.
"Thank you, Ringe. This is very delicious. Charge it to my account and I will pay you back together later."
Elise's teasing voice came from the side: "With your ability, if you want to earn 1,000+ gold coins, I don't know how long it will take. I think you might as well pay with your flesh. With your beauty, you can offer him a high price~"
Lanya's face immediately turned red: "What are you talking about? What kind of meat...meat...how can you do that kind of thing!"
Ringer also frowned and said, "Elise, don't make such an exaggerated joke. How could I do that to a little girl? Do you think I'm a pervert?"
"You are a pervert," Elise said, "And Castalon is not on Earth. Girls here can get married at the age of fourteen. The nobles in the city have countless wives. No matter how you look at it, Is she also over fourteen years old?"
Lanya blushed and argued: "Who is the little girl? I am already eighteen years old!"
While speaking, she deliberately puffed out her chest, as if she wanted to prove something, but her underdeveloped breasts were really unconvincing.
Lin Ge stared at her in surprise when he heard this: "Are you eighteen years old?"
No matter how you look at it, she is much younger than eighteen years old. Could it be malnutrition caused by long-term starvation? Or is she lying about her age?
Lin Ge's eyes made Lanya even more unconvinced.
"Isn't it different?"
It doesn't look like anywhere.
No matter what the reason was, it was hard for Ringer to believe that she was actually eighteen years old.
At this time, an old voice came from the other side of the wine table: "What a delicious wine. It has a soft and long taste and endless aftertaste. It reminds me of many things. It deserves to be called meditation."
It turned out to be the old man in gray robe who had entered the store earlier. After drinking the meditation prepared by Ringer, he let out a sound of admiration.
The old man turned his head and looked at Ringer at the bar, his eyes deep and mysterious.
"Little brother, I see you are young, where did you learn such magical blending techniques? Are you an alchemist?"
"Alchemy?" Ringer smiled, "I don't know that kind of thing, I only know how to mix wine."
The old man smiled and said: "If you know alchemy, maybe the wine you make will be more delicious."
The old man stood up, picked up his staff, and looked around the store.
“It’s a really nice pub. I’ll come here again next time.”
The end of the staff tapped lightly on the floor. At the same time as the knocking sound was heard, several gold coins mixed with a blue gem fell from Ringer's eyes and collided with the bar counter, making a crisp sound.
"Drink money and tips."
After leaving these words, the old man slowly walked out of the bar.
Ringer picked up the blue gem from the gold coin. It was shaped like a small shield, no more than 4 centimeters long and about 2 centimeters thick. It had soft lines and beautiful color. It had a sense of calmness and magnificence, and seemed to contain some kind of mystery. strength.
This is the tip left by the other party.
"Lanya, how much can this gem be sold for?"
Lanya stared at the gem in his hand and said in surprise: "I don't know, but I can feel that it contains a lot of magic power. Jewelry stores will not sell such things. Even the magic gems in the magic tool shop are not like this." Huge magic power.”
"Wouldn't that be valuable?"
Lanya nodded blankly: "Yes, but don't you want to be a magician? If you have the magic support of this gem, you can skip the step of saving magic power and use magic easily. So I suggest keeping it , with it, maybe we can complete the registration trial task."
Speaking of the latter part, Lanya's eyes couldn't help but light up, as if she saw hope of completing the task.
At this time, Elise came over, glanced at the gem in Ringer's hand and said, "What a sinister old man. This gem has his spiritual imprint. As long as you carry it, he can sense yours." Location, I don’t know what to do.”
