Chapter 273 272. A gift for Karl
Seeing the figure of the magic apprentice leaving quickly, even if Suldak didn't understand the market situation, he knew that this magic pattern spirit bone must be sold too cheaply.
Originally, Suldak priced this magic-weave bone at five gold coins, but before he could say the price, the cute-looking magic apprentice stood in front of the booth and told Suldak that he was willing to take it. He offered three magic crystals to buy the leg bone, and asked Suldak if he would sell the wolf leg bone to him.
Seeing that the magic apprentice bid almost four times his asking price, Suldak sold the leg bone without hesitation.
As for those wolf meat that sold for nearly fifteen gold coins, it seems that people who buy monster meat ingredients in the underground market are not short of money, and they can’t find any silver coins on them, and almost all settlements are made with gold coins. From setting up the stall to the end of the transaction, Suerdak stayed in the underground market for less than an hour.
Re-rolled the raw cowhide spread on the ground and put it into the magic pocket, and paid the tax at the entrance of the underground market before leaving the underground market with Rita and Natasha.
Natasha and Rita followed Suldak, walking on the stone street of Hailansa City, looking at the small attics with high rock bases on both sides of the street, countless blue rubbles covered the sky of the city , some were still running around on the street, and Natasha could understand that when these children looked at herself and Rita, there was clearly a kind of contempt for the country people in their eyes.
The women in the city will also gather by the pool, doing laundry and chatting, and they will also chat about some family affairs. They wear some dresses that Natasha has never seen before. Those styles are novel and bold. Natasha looked down at herself The long gray burlap dress on her body made her regret that she didn't wear the dress that Suldak gave her when she went out.
Just thinking about the tightness of the skirt on her chest made Natasha blush a little.
"What do we have for lunch, can we still eat the cheese patties from last night?" Rita leaned close to Suldak and asked expectantly.
There is actually a cold drink shop at the crossroads of this long street. The owner set up a few long tables under the street trees. Several couples of young men and women sat at the long tables under the trees and drank cold drinks leisurely. They were eating small refreshments and whispering with smiles. Well, it was late September at this time, and after another month, this kind of cold drink shop might have to change to other businesses.
Suldak walked side by side with Rita, and Natasha stood on the other side of Rita.
Looking at the syrup and red beans piled on the snow-white crushed ice, Suldak said to Rita:
"Cheese patties or other delicacies are up to you. I suggest you try other delicious foods... Oh, you can miss the others, but you must try this one when you see it. Otherwise, after this season, We’ll just have to wait until next year to eat it.”
The shopkeeper was digging a piece of ice with his head down, and Suldak said to him, "Please give me three servings of red bean smoothie, with fruit and maple syrup."
The red bean smoothie with fruit is not cheap. Three servings of smoothie cost Suldak one silver coin and five coppers. Afterwards, Suldak took Rita and sat on a bench by the street, with his hands resting on a wooden board. On the table, leisurely looking at the scenery on the street.
The shopkeeper brought up three bowls of shaved ice, along with a small dish of pastries dipped in soy flour.
Rita carefully looked at the beautifully shaped smoothie for a long time, and asked Surdak with some uncertainty: "This...is ice?"
Suldak handed her and Natasha two silver spoons, and said with a smile: "Well, try it, it tastes very good."
Rita dug a big spoon and put it into her mouth without hesitation. Immediately, infinite surprise appeared in her eyes. Her big eyes were bent into crescent moons. Looking at the satisfied face of the girl in front of her, Suldak couldn't help but Live in the bottom of my heart and sigh softly.
Natasha is still eating small bites, she has always been so quiet.
At this time, Suldak heard a somewhat familiar voice behind him, as if he heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it: "Knight Suldak, I didn't expect to meet you here, you came to Hailansa City , are you looking for Karl?"
The voice was very low and soft, and the pronunciation of the Grimm Empire language was correct, a very standard aristocratic accent.
Turning around, I realized that it was Karl who took him to the Viscount Emmett's ball. The lady who had been with Karl all the time was wearing a gorgeous long dress and a hat full of flowers on her head. Staring at Suldak, there were two female companions beside her, one of whom was a tall slender girl whom she had contacted on the day of the prom, but now she ran into him on the street, that tall slender girl didn't even want to look at him more.
Suldak stood up, gave the lady a standard chivalry salute, and then said with a straight face: "I came to the city for some private business, and I am planning to visit Karl."
The lady smiled slightly and said directly: "Then it's a coincidence that you came here. Karl and Llewellyn are still on official business in the southern suburbs of Hailansa City. If you go there, you may meet them. If it's just for Karl Greetings, maybe I can convey it to you."
Suldak didn't expect that Karl was still in the southern suburbs of Hailansa City after he had killed the bandit group for more than ten days.
"Oh? Thank you for telling me the news. Of course, there is more than a greeting. I have prepared a gift for him this time." Suldak said.
He could feel the perfunctory in the noble lady's tone. He was a country knight friend of Karl's, and this was probably the only reason why she stood here to greet him.
The noble lady didn't pay too much attention to Suldak's words. After saying hello, she didn't continue to talk, and left with her two female companions, followed by several maids and servants.
"Are they your friends?" Rita asked Suldak after they were gone.
Suldak thought about it seriously, are he friends with them?
Of course not friends.
In fact, among this group of nobles, the only person who can think highly of him is Karl. No matter what his purpose is, he has been helping himself selflessly and has no demands on himself, even if he is in deep trouble. He didn't take the initiative to ask himself for help.
So Suldak said: "It's not really a friend. To be precise, it should be a friend of a friend. They are nobles, so they won't treat a reserve knight as a friend."
"Oh!" Rita heard what Suldak said, and stopped asking.
…
The Earl of Casement, High Lansa City
Suldak handed the name card in his hand to the guard at the gate. Not long after, a housekeeper in the Earl's Mansion came out and told Suldak that Master Karl had gone to the southern suburb of Hailansa and hadn't returned yet, so he asked him to stay. Address, and send a letter to Master Carl as soon as he returns.
Suldak hurriedly said that he also rushed to Hailansa City in his spare time, and he would not stay in the city for a long time. Since Carl Casement was not there, he asked the housekeeper to hand over the gift he had prepared to Carl, and then he took the gift from the magic pocket He took out a sealed thumb from inside the box. The box was long and narrow and very heavy. The butler called two servants to carry the box into the mansion.
Subsequently, Suldak left Earl Casement's mansion...
