Chapter 620: Chapter 616, the plot of the book
“Miss Aurelian, let’s put aside the feud between the High Elves and the defilers for now.”
Joshua took out a booklet, and Hiri very cooperatively took out the most recent ledger of the Forgotten Land Branch.
“Let’s settle a score,”said Joshua.
“Settle a score?”At this moment, Aurelian suddenly remembered some shocking stories that elder Enya usually told her.
“Don’t dream of buying me with human money!”Aurelian said righteously, “I’d rather die than be a human slave!”
“Buy You?”
Joshua looked at the girl’s determined expression, as if she was a pure and noble Joan of Arc.
“What she said should be described as ‘this seems to be the plot of the book’, right?”Hiri whispered at the side.
Congratulations… Miss Healy, you have learned a new joke.
Joshua was not in the mood to complain to Healy. He was just going to correct the high elf’s idiocy or princess disease?
“I don’t mean to buy you. In fact, you already owe me a lot of money,”said Joshua as he tapped his pen on the book.
“I don’t remember owing you anything!”
“Really? If I remember correctly, your dinner yesterday was a thick soup made of 127 apples and some vegetables.”
Jose flipped through the account book that Hiri handed over. The money spent on the import and export of goods from this branch was recorded in the account book.
A large part of the marketing value in this account book was provided by the High Elves who were temporarily living on the third floor, although they had not paid for it yet.
“The day before yesterday, your breakfast seemed to be dragon fruit. That thing is not cheap. Only the countries near the sea have it. You took a whole box in one go.”
The more Joshua spoke, the uglier Aurelian’s expression became. This ugliness had already entered the range of her body’s discomfort. Aurelian had no choice but to cover her forehead and quietly listen to Joshua’s ‘report’.
“This is only two meals of food for the two of you. If you count all the food that you’ve eaten since you’ve been living here, I’ll round it up to a fraction of the price. It’s about 3,000 gold coins.”
Joshua said a number that was very terrifying to commoners.
“This money is enough to buy a nice little house at the edge of Nolan.”
“I didn’t eat those things.”Aurelian still answered Joshua with a tough attitude.
“Didn’t eat them?”Joshua looked at Hiri who was beside him.
The High Elves that Joshua caught were mostly women. They also needed to bathe every day. Under such circumstances, Joshua consciously handed over the surveillance work to Hiri.
“I don’t know how she did it, but she really doesn’t need to say ‘smells good’now.”Hiri used another method to confirm that Aurelian was telling the truth.
Joshua also noticed that Aurelian’s body was very weak. She did not rely on food to survive for so many days. She kept her promise.
“Isn’t it just blind arrogance?”
Joshua saw that the high elf once again showed a confident smile. However, her face did not look good.
“Don’t worry. The Movies You Watch also have to be paid for.”
“Movies?”
“The ones where you cried and said, ‘why were the demons killed by a group of human villagers? !’and ‘Hachi Chan’s death was not worth it!’”
When Joshua mentioned those two words, Aurelian’s face, which had been defeated, finally turned a little red.
“I. . . I didn’t say that!”
When Aurelian said that, her long ears kept shaking. Joshua turned his inquiring gaze to Quitoan beside him.
The Elven elder looked at his granddaughter’s reaction.
“When she lies, her ears will tremble like this.”Quitoan nodded and gave Joshua a definite answer.
“Grandfather!”
Aurelian finally could not help but stand up from her seat. However, her weak body made her sit back in her seat again.
“If you want to deny the movie, that’s fine. But you can’t deny the card box that you carry with you, right?”
Joshua pointed at the Fanny Pack that Aurelian was carrying on her waist. There was a black crystal inside.
“Card box?”
“The legendary card box of Hearthstone.”
The moment Joshua said the ‘Hearthstone legend’, Aurelian’s expression changed.
“That’s not left behind by the survivors of the past…”
Aurelian did not expect that the Hearthstone legend was created by Joshua. However, when Hiri and Joshua placed two identical black crystals on the table, her words of refutation were instantly swallowed back into her stomach.
“I lent you that card box. The total value of all the cards in it is about 1,000 to 1,300 gold coins in the market,”Jose said.
“This card box can also be exchanged for money?”
Aurelian’s view of human trade was already somewhat confused. weren’t these cards all ‘virtual items’made of inscriptions?
“Not only can they be sold for money, but they are also very expensive. The death wing that you like to use the most can be sold for around 300 gold in the market for gold quality,”said Jose.
The trading price of Hearthstone legendary cards was accompanied by various discounts on the price of the card bag, which led to a gradual decline. Now, it had become very stable.
The sky-high price of the gold legendary level Balrog king sold for close to a few thousand gold coins was already very rare, but the price of this card had always been stable at more than a thousand gold coins.
“How can I repay it?”Aurelian asked subconsciously.
When Jose heard this question, he understood that this girl wanted to keep the card box.
“If you work as a waiter in the Hearthstone Tavern, I’ll Give You 25 gold coins a month, and occasionally there will be a little bonus or something. Your income will be stable at around 30.”
If Joshua remembered correctly, working in the Hearthstone Tavern might be better than working in some alchemy workshops.
“If you want to buy that card box in full, let me calculate… you’ll have to serve tea and water to those humans you look down on for at least three years!”
Three years was not a long number for a high elf, but serving humans for three whole years was a long time for Aurelian!
“You look reluctant? Then there’s nothing I can do. Give me back the card box.”Joshua reached out his hand to the high elf.
She hesitated for a moment, then took out the Black Crystal and handed it to Joshua.
Joshua reached out his hand to hold the black crystal, but Aurelian still held it tightly. As an archer, she would never shake her hand, at this moment, her hand started to tremble.
The stalemate did not last long. A white cat suddenly appeared behind Aurelian’s neck. The white cat followed her arm and jumped onto Josh’s body.
However, after the white cat left Aurelian, her body became even weaker. At this moment, her body was so weak that she could not stand still… her gaze was fixed on Josh, before she could say anything, she fell to the ground.
“I knew there must be something wrong with not eating for so long!”
Hiri glanced at the white cat on Josh’s shoulder. It was the white cat that had been providing Aurelian with energy.
“It seems that we can only talk about it next time.”Josh glanced at the black crystal in his hand and walked to the side of Aurelian who was lying on the ground. He put the crystal back in her hand.
“You’re giving it to her just like that?”
“This card box is a secondary card set that I used a long time ago. There are a lot of cards missing in it, but I’ve collected them one by one now.”
The Hearthstone that Joshua gave Aurelia to play with was said to be a ‘single-player version’. It only had adventure mode, and a Lord who defeated a certain number of times would get a bag of cards.
From the current card collection, it was not too much to call this girl the ‘Liver Emperor’.
“Joshua Arnold, do you think she can shoulder the same responsibility as Al?”
Kuitoan glanced at Al in the distance and asked.
“I don’t know, but the premise is that you have to ask if this girl is interested in starting her career.”
The moment Joshua’s voice fell, the entire ASCEKRO suddenly trembled again. The degree of the vibration this time was different from the fall when the energy was depleted.
A bad premonition arose in Joshua’s heart.
