The knight in the abyss

Chapter 31 The Price of the Soul

Lancelot was not annoyed by the demon's attitude. In fact, it was a more polite greeting in the abyss.

"I heard there's a guy named Katz who can make a good price for jewelry."

"A new and unfamiliar face." The Demonborn looked at Lancelot with playful eyes. "The damn red dragon is there today, and there are still people looking for me?"

"I don't like to trade with a guy who is much stronger than me." Lancelot only said the reason why he didn't go to the Red Dragon Cliftal.

"That guy hasn't grown up yet. Sooner or later, I will kill him and take all the treasures in his lair." Katz glanced at the red dragon angrily, then asked, "You What is the approximate value of the goods to be sold?"

"I'm not sure, but they're all beautiful."

"Really." Katz curled his lips, "You're not an idiot who just picked up a few pretty little rocks and fantasized about making a fortune, take them out and let me see."

Lancelo put his hand into his pocket, thought for a moment, and took out three gems. With a slight flick of his wrist, the gems rolled slowly on the table.

These are three blue gems, two of which are very clear and one is deeply blackened.

The experienced Pluto had identified these gems before, the two lighter ones were ordinary sapphires, each worth about a thousand gp; the darker one was a black sapphire known as a 'black pearl', worth Five thousand gold coins started as one of the most precious gems.

Pluto has already made preliminary cuts on these gems. Although he claims that his craftsmanship is less than one-tenth of his father's, Lancelot thinks this is just a modesty, at least with his naked eyes, there are no flaws. of.

As the gem tumbled gently, the facets on it continued to shine with dazzling highlights, especially the dark gem.

Katz's eyes showed greed and surprise, and he reached out and grabbed the few gems.

"Roar!!!!!"

An eager dragon roar came, followed by the strong wind brought by the flapping of the giant wings.

Katz's face changed, turned around and grabbed a spear that was leaning on the side, and roared at the rushing red dragon:

"Cliftar! It's not your turn to go wild in Shuangqiao Town!"

"Relax, I was just attracted by some beautiful flashes." The young red dragon fell to the ground, easily crushing an innocent booth, swept its tail casually, and another booth suffered a disaster.

This red dragon is indeed still immature, but its height of more than twelve feet is definitely an overlord here.Everyone nervously left their original positions, some people smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped out directly, while others watched from a safe distance with the mentality of watching a good show.

Its eyes were then attracted by the three gems on the table, and eager rays of light were emitted from the dragon's eyes.

"Wow, these are all good things." It then noticed Lancelot who was standing by, "Well, a newcomer, no wonder he didn't know that the gem seller was coming to me Cliftar, but it didn't matter. , you know now, Cliftal always offers the best price."

"Bastard, how dare you directly rob my business!"

"What Tijana told me is that you can't rob and kill in Shuangqiao Town, but you can't rob business."

"you!"

"I said the two, the thing seems to be mine, right?" Lancelot interrupted the quarrel between the two, "Your Excellency Red Dragon, thank you for offering a more generous offer, but this time it is indeed Mr. Katz came first, and I think he has the right of first refusal."

"Okay, I'll be watching. If you're not satisfied with his price, you can still come to me." Red Dragon squinted at Lancelot, his eyes were not very friendly.

Angrily, the demon slashed the spear in his hand on the ground and said:

"Eight thousand! I will give out eight thousand gold coins!"

"Why are you so stingy, Katz, is [-] just for that black pearl?"

"Don't deceive people too much!" Katz gritted his teeth angrily, turned his head and said to Lancelot: "Three together are [-] gold coins! I don't have any profit at this price. If you think it's too little, go find the red one. Dragon."

"The price of eight thousand is very reasonable." Lancelot nodded, "Deal."

"Hmph." Cliftar let out a heavy nasal sound, waved his wings, and turned to leave.

"Very good." Seeing that Lancelot didn't sit further to raise the price, Katz nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and shouted at the other end of the hall: "Leetisa! You stinky bitch, come here quickly!"

"Yo, that's not what you said in bed that day." A lazy voice came from far and near.

"That's a bunch of nonsense." Katz waved his hand awkwardly, "You can ask, I, Katz, are known as the King of Double Bridges and Silver Spears..."

"Business has been negotiated?" A beautiful figure fell gracefully from mid-air, interrupting the Demonborn's boasting.This is a succubus, she glanced at the scene, and her eyes suddenly lit up after discovering Lancelot.

"Oh, isn't that Sir Lancelot, good afternoon sir."

"You know me?" Lancelot touched his nose.

"Sisters are all looking forward to receiving a gift like that one day." The succubus Laetisa let out a coquettish smile, then turned to Katz and said, "Silver Gun Wax, what are you looking for from me?"

"Watch your words!" Katz shouted angrily. "Pay Ser Lancelot eighty soul coins from my vault."

"Uh, what is a soul coin?" Lancelot asked curiously.

"You're new here, I don't know it's normal." Laetisa explained enthusiastically, "Soul coins are issued by the Devil's Nine Hells Bank, and one soul coin is equal to one hundred gold coins, or ten platinum coins."

"The currency issued by the devil?" Lancelot asked in shock. "This... are the demons willing to accept it?"

"We prefer the soul stone that directly stores the soul, but that thing has no effect on you mortals, and you do not have the ability to check the value of a soul. And Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells, publicly promised that every soul Coins can be exchanged for one soul or one hundred gold coins." The succubus shrugged indifferently, this simple action also exudes endless charm, making the eyes of people around him straighten, "Because of the devil's well-known preference, they Never give you a soul. A soul coin is a hundred gold coins, and the devils think that's the minimum price it takes to corrupt a soul."

"What kind of idiot would go to a bank in hell to withdraw money?" Pluto was extremely shocked.

"Devil's believers, businessmen who travel between the lower planes, and even the devil itself." Karalin showed his profound knowledge of the lower planes, "It is said that every soul coin issued has a corresponding wailing. The soul hangs on the fireplace of the Lord of the Nine Hells."

"I don't want to go to Barto Hell one day to ask the devil for gold." Pluto's face was full of resistance, "Why don't you just give gold coins."

"Gold coins, gold bars, any form, you choose."

"Do you have any platinum ingots?" Kalarin interjected. "A platinum ingot should weigh two pounds and be worth a thousand gold coins."

"There must be." Laetisa winked at Lancelot, "They are as hard as your body, Sir, am I right?"

　Sorry, I edited it today, it's late...

　　Note: The wages of a skilled craftsman is 1 gold per day, which is also the price of a goat.
