Chapter 3: weird change
"You should go out and find something to do! Instead of staying in this crappy house all day. We don't have much money left." After dinner, Ray sat at the stump table, leaning on his chin in one hand. Barrett said it sounded like a woman complaining that her husband was too unsatisfactory.
After saying this, she seemed to think of something again. She walked to Barrett's side on her own, and skillfully untied a cowhide bag from Barrett's waist. Pulling things out of the cowhide bag.
The cowhide bag was only the size of two palms of Barritt's, but it contained a lot of things, because it was a piece of magic equipment, and it was connected to a miniature closed demiplane of about 6 square meters. This was bought by Barrett from a familiar mage at a huge price, and it was the second most important thing on his body. And the most important thing is naturally the long sword that he never leaves his hands.
Ray pulled out several chunks of heavy chitin shells, a gilded candlestick, a fiery red feather from an unknown bird, a piece of magic iron, a few sheepskin scrolls, and a skull A brooch, a small packet of barbecue seasonings, a petrified cow-scaled hide, a stringless lute decorated with python skin, and more...
There are actually some valuable things here, but of course, the premise is that you have to find a good buyer first. Other than that, the petrified cow's scaly hide alone was enough for Barrett and the girl for a whole year, provided there were no unexpected expenses.
However, these things did not enter the girl's 'critical' eyes. She didn't even look at these 'messy' things, but laboriously took out the only 7 silver coins and 12 copper coins left in the bag, and then took out the He took 2 silver coins and 5 copper coins, and put the rest of the money and those 'mess' things back into the cowhide bag, and finally tied the cowhide bag back to Barrett's waist naturally. Some uneasy tugging, to make sure nothing goes wrong.
She seems to regard herself as the mistress of this 'home', if this shabby place counts as a 'home'. Barrett thought silently in his heart.
"I always hear people say that it is easy to make money in this place, is it true?" The girl held the two silver coins in her hands and compared them carefully. The reverse of one silver coin features a griffin with wings outstretched, while the reverse of the other has a double-bladed battle axe.
"Griffin Silver Coin" is the currency issued by the Griffin Kingdom. In fact, the "Bay of Pigs" is also within the territory of the Griffin Kingdom and is a part of this kingdom. And the 'Silver Tomahawk' belongs to the 'Nord Kingdom' further north, where Barrett was born. He lived there until adulthood, then left his hometown to travel around and never returned.
"As easy as breathing," Barrett replied, only breathing deadly poison. It's easy to make money, and it's just as easy to lose your life, and sometimes you can't even tell the difference between the two.
"Silver coin is really a good thing! Don't you think it's not." Ray held the silver coin in the air, and the sunlight from the window of the wooden house and the cracks in the wall shone on the silver coin, making it sparkle.
The light reflected in the girl's eyes, making her eyes turn into a crescent moon again: "If there is anything better than it, it is only gold coins!" She shouted cheerfully.
Everyone knows that gold coins are a good thing. The king of every human country will print his head on the back of the gold coin, hoping that the people in his own country can love their king as much as the "king" in their hands.
"Money is not a problem," he said to Ray, "you don't need to worry about it."
"Ha, money is not a problem, that's a good point." The girl smiled exaggeratedly, "The miller once told my parents that as long as I get married, money is not a problem; my stupid brother wants to When eating meat, my father once said to him that as long as your sister gets married, the meat is not a problem; when I wanted a new skirt, my mother once said to me, as long as you marry, the skirt is not a problem ; Ha, it seems that as long as I get married, everything will be no problem!"
It would be great if you could get married. Barrett thought. Your parents, your brother, the miller who sees you, including me, everyone will be happy. Maybe except you, but that's not the point.
Of course, Barrett wouldn't say it out loud, he just thought about it in his heart. But he really thought that it would be better for the girl named Rui to marry, at least it would give the whole family, including herself, a more stable life.
But many people in this world are just like this girl, who are always unwilling to live a dull and mediocre life. They always want to find or chase something, even if they don't know what it is.
"If I could have a physique like yours, I would have been rich!" The girl stroked the silver coins in her hand: "The gold coins I earn will stack up higher than myself! I will use the money to put the miller's house and Buy all his **** mills and make him homeless!"
"At least that miller has more gold." Barrett was noncommittal: "He can use it to build a new mill, buy a new wife, build a new home that is better than before, all thanks to you. bestow."
"Then..." Barrett's words made the girl's expression a little depressed, she gritted her teeth and thought, "Then I will hang him on the gallows, with the 'hammerhead shark', and then Send crows to peck their eyes!" she said bitterly.
Just because he wants to marry you? "Then you must at least earn more gold coins than the number of goblins, and then use them to buy the entire Griffon Kingdom." This is a girl who will pay revenge, but fortunately she is not a king.
The sarcasm in Barrett's tone made the girl very unhappy, "I will, let's see!" She stood up and said loudly, then clutching silver and copper coins in her hands, she went out again angrily. She opened and closed the door, as always, with the 'weapon' on her feet, as if the poor wooden door was the miller who wanted to marry her.
After the girl went out, the wooden house became quiet again, except for the slight 'crackling' sound of the firewood burning in the fireplace. The sun shines into the house through the turbid glass windows, and the smoke clouds and dust are flying freely in the pale yellow sunlight, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com gives the house a dense atmosphere.
In Barrett's view, money is really not a problem, at least not the main problem at the moment. The problem that really made him care and felt terrible was some changes that had happened to him, some strange changes that he still couldn't understand.
Barrett sat back on the edge of the bed again, held his long sword in his hand again, and stared at him without blinking, as if he was staring at his lover.
About 1 or 2 minutes later, suddenly, a line of strange characters appeared in the air above the long sword. The shape of the font was square, not Common, nor Nord, nor Dwarven. The last language, Barrett, knows only a little. Nor should it be Elvish, Orcish, or even Draconic.
Although Barrett is not erudite, his rich adventures have allowed him to see the writing of many races, including the cuneiform writing of the giant dragon family that looks like a dragon's claws. Judging from his experience, the strange characters in front of him should not belong to any race on the continent.
What's even more peculiar is that although Barrett doesn't know any of the words in this line, it doesn't prevent him from understanding the meaning of these words. It was a wonderful feeling. When he observed these words, the words imprinted the meaning they wanted to express directly in his mind.
