Lord Chronicle

Chapter 21
"No!" Elebena was determined.

"Why?" Sol was surprised: "I just borrowed it, and I will definitely pay it back in the future."

Elebena, who turned into a dragon, laid her huge body on top of her treasure, squinting her eyes lazily: "First of all, these things are mine; second, I can't trust you humans."

Dark Path Dragon is really a veritable miser, so Sol had no choice but to persuade: "I didn't just find those things for you. If I don't have the capital, I can't do it at all."

"That's your business, I don't care about it." Elebena smacked her lips and rolled like a blue cotton ball. The mountain of gold coins under her body immediately made a pleasant sound.

Sol resisted the urge to put the few gold coins rolled to his feet into his bosom, and smiled flatteringly: "Then at least return the gold coins to Ferry last time, no, lend them to me."

Elebena stretched her tail to Saul, and the tip of her tail rolled up the gold coins on the ground as deftly as an elephant's trunk and threw them back into the pile of gold coins. After hearing the clear and crisp impact of each gold coin, she was satisfied. He hummed a few times.

"I said no, but I can't. Everything here is mine, and what you're looking for is also mine. Why should I exchange my own for my own?" Elebena said in an unquestionable tone. Say something sarcasm.

"Uh..." Saul was completely confused, and couldn't find anything to refute her for a while.But there is only one thing he can be sure of, and that is that the female dragon in front of him is an out-and-out vampire.

He wanted to say more, but Elebena threw a gold coin impatiently: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, take it, remember to return it. I'm tired, I'm going to bed."

"Damn..." Sol almost cursed directly, are you sending the beggar?
At this time, Elebena had already started to snore, and the thunderous snoring echoed in the dragon's lair, which fully showed that this lady adhered to the concept of a good life of eating well and sleeping well.

Sol had no choice but to quietly give her his middle finger and leave the dragon's lair.

"How is it?" Seeing him coming out, Jessica who was waiting outside greeted him.

Sol smiled wryly, and showed her his result: "Here, the generous Ms. Elebena gave me this."

Looking at the gold coin in his hand suspiciously, Jessica guessed: "This is a magic gold coin, can it continuously produce more gold coins?"

Saul looked up to the sky and sighed, "I think so too."

"But, but..." Thinking of how much time he had spent to get such a thing, the veins on Sol's forehead twitched: "That damned stingy female dragon actually dismissed me as a beggar!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't control himself anymore, and finally went crazy: "Bastard! Low reptile! A deformed figure with four short legs! Go to hell with me..." Sol bravely roared into the cave.

"My God, what are you talking about? Calm down!" Jessica's face turned pale with fright.

She hurriedly pulled Sol, who no longer knew what she was talking about, back to the distance, and threw him on Simba's back, who was trying to rush into the cave to find Elebena, and then drove the griffin beast. So far away so far away.

************************************************** ************************************
By the time he got back to town, Sol had calmed down, but he was still mortified that he hadn't gotten anywhere this time.Elebena is not pulling anything out, and she has no capital, how can she get those things?
At this time, Reed came to him with a list: "My lord, this is the property report you want me to draw up. Excluding Lovell's necessary supplies, these are the only properties we can use."

As he spoke, he read: "12498 gold coins, one of the Fire Demon Crystal confiscated last time, one horn of the Horned Wolf King, with a preliminary estimate of about 1000 gold coins, and some medicinal materials, with an estimated value of about 700 gold coins, and..."

After hearing him finish reading, Sol frowned greatly. All the things added up were less than [-] gold coins. The lord himself was really poor enough to be worthy of the name.

Jessica said: "What should I do? Even the gate of the black market in Freetown can't get in with such a small amount of money."

Sol was troubled and said, "What else can I do? Cash out the ones that can be cashed out first, and take away the ones that can't be sold. Let's think of a way when we get to the capital."

Speaking of what he thought of, he took out the pair of thieves master and apprentice gloves and the crystal ball he got from the necromancer from his arms and handed them to Reed: "I don't know what these are, but they should be of some value. Take it away."

Reed took it and looked at it, his eyes widened immediately: "My God, this is the square star logo of master blacksmith Bassarian, where did you get it?"

Seeing that he was referring to the pair of gloves, Saul couldn't help asking strangely: "You know them?"

Reed nodded: "Of course, the square star logo of the blacksmith master Bassarian is a compulsory course in the elementary appraisal course of the chamber of commerce school. There are only a hundred of his works handed down to the world, and they are all extremely precious items."

Blacksmith refers to the profession of manufacturing various items, which is equivalent to a blacksmith.The difference is that advanced blacksmiths can create magic items, and blacksmiths who have reached the pinnacle of this field are naturally more precious.

Bassarian is a legendary figure among blacksmiths. With his genius, he has invented and manufactured countless precious and creative magic items throughout his life, each of which is a masterpiece that latecomers dream of.However, in the more than [-] years since his death, only a few hundred pieces have been handed down to the world, and their scarcity has doubled their value.

Secretly said that the pair of idiot master and apprentice are indeed high-level assassins, and the things on them are really extraordinary.Sol still worried: "It can't be fake, right?"

Reed became excited: "Bassarian's square star has a unique melting property, and no one has been able to imitate it so far. Let's try it out."

As he spoke, he took the candlestick on the table, lit it and put the candlelight on the square star of the glove.Under the nervous gaze of the three, a miracle happened. The flame did not damage the glove, but was sucked in by the logo, and then the square star lit up with a circle of fiery red light as if alive.

"It's true, this is indeed the work of Master Bassarian." Reed exclaimed happily.

Sol couldn't wait to ask: "How much is this thing worth?"

Reid thought for a while: "Although it's not as good as what you're looking for, it's also of extraordinary value. At least with it, you can register as a seller in Freetown to participate in the transaction, and the rest is only up to you when the time comes. "

Although the answer is not as perfect as Sol imagined, it is undoubtedly a big step for him to jump from being a poor ghost lord to being able to enter Freetown.

"By the way, you can call Manson, and he may be able to tell you more." Reed suggested.

Manson, who came after hearing the news, exclaimed when he saw the glove: "My God, it's Bassarian's work!"

Seeing how much he couldn't put it down, Saul doubted that Manson could have swallowed them in one gulp if they weren't too hard to digest.

Manson said in a tone full of admiration: "We dwarves are very proud of our craftsmanship. Bassarian is one of the few craftsmen of other races that we admire. He is also the three human beings who were invited by the dwarf king to the underground world of Pangladin to forge One of the teachers."

Jessica asked, "What are these gloves made of?"

Manson said with admiration: "It's earth dragon skin. And it's not one piece. Each pair of gloves is made of seven pieces of the strongest forehead skin of earth dragon. Look at the seam, how perfect the stitching is..."

The earth dragon is the largest species among the sub-dragons, and it has always lived only in the thick smoke swamp in the Bamuk Kingdom in the southern part of the mainland.Although they do not have the strength and wisdom of the orthodox dragons, the earth dragons are one of the most powerful types of high-level monsters.

Earth dragons are extremely difficult to hunt, so their skins are very rare. Not only are they strong and strange, but they can also effectively protect against magic. It is the only material for making top-level leather armor.This pair of gloves used fourteen pieces of the strongest forehead skins of earth dragons, which shows how precious they are.

"Then what are they for?" Thor asked.

Manson said without hesitation: "These gloves can cut off almost all intermediate barriers, so they must be specially made for thieves."

Sol was amazed, he was indeed an excellent craftsman of the dwarves, and he could tell the origin of these gloves at a glance.It seems that if they are lost, the assassin master and apprentice must feel very distressed.

"Wahhahaha, I'll never die." Suo Er's confidence suddenly increased, and he looked up to the sky with a long smile: "Freetown, here I come!"

************************************************** *************************************
Five days later, everything was ready, and Sol finally set out for the capital.

For the young lord's first trip to the royal capital celebration, the loyal old steward Vince has gone to great lengths.The dilapidated carriage dedicated to the lord who brought Sol to Lovell was refurbished by Manson, and it was equipped with two well-fed tall horses, which were quite majestic.

The entourage included Kress and ten guards, as well as four Yeying members led by Chip, who were responsible for the safety along the way.Worried that the Adventurer's Guild would be unfavorable to Lovell during this period, Thor left Pochi and Yada as good partners to be responsible for Lovell's safety after everyone left.

Of course Jessica would also follow. Although she was a little fierce, Sol knew very well that he could do nothing without her.Reed also accompanied him, and Sol's business in Freetown depended on this treasurer.

Marlene also cried and clamored to serve Saul with her, but Jessica didn't agree, but Vince said that there was absolutely no problem with the safety of the trip, and it would be good to let little Marlene go to the capital to see her.What's more, how can our young lord not have a full-time maid.

Ever since, a group of more than 20 people, the largest group in Lovell's history, marched towards the royal capital under the leadership of Lord Sol.

Seeing what could be called a "luxury" lineup, Vince was in tears as he bid farewell.Woohoo, young lord, you really have lived up to the old lord's expectations. Lovell will definitely show his face in the capital this time.

After that, the development of things was indeed as Vince expected, although the "show face" of Saul and his party was not what Vince expected...

The holy city of Dusk, the royal capital, is located in the east-central part of the Kingdom of Dinar, starting from the westernmost Lowell Territory, almost crossing the entire kingdom.The journey is long, and with the level of transportation in this world, it is definitely a long journey.

So on the third day after departure, Saul began to get bored.In addition to three meals and sleep, his daily itinerary is to ride in the carriage, and the bumps along the way make him miserable.

Although he was in the same car with little Marlene, unfortunately Jessica was also in the car, making Sol feel like an old monk all the way, not daring to overstep.Although there are natural scenery along the road that were hard to see in the original world, but once the initial freshness wears off, he is reluctant to watch it again because of aesthetic fatigue.

Fortunately, all the way through other territories, the law and order is not a problem, after a few days, nothing happened, and I did not encounter the legendary bandits.Of course, what makes Sol depressed is that those lords still turn a blind eye to him, the heir of Lowell, and the local officials even skip the most basic welcome ceremony.

"Wow, it's so boring, it would be nice to have a plane!" Sol yelled in his heart more than once.

That night, a group of people came to Wright City under the jurisdiction of Masti, and Reed, who entered the city first, had already found a good place to stay.But when Sol readily went, he was taken aback.

This is a tavern that can only be described as "broken" from any aspect. The outer wall of the dilapidated two-storey building is nailed with wooden boards left after repairs. It seems that a slightly stronger wind can blow the It blew down, and the moth-eaten door full of holes creaked and shook in the wind.

The interior of the tavern was even worse, with a smoky atmosphere, accompanied by a smell of sweat and alcohol. The rude drinkers were talking and laughing loudly in the lobby on the first floor, and the escort girls were walking between the tables. Go, burst into a lewd shrill laugh from time to time.

Sol stood at the door in astonishment, he couldn't connect this place with the place where people lived at all.And Jessica was already blushing when she saw those scantily dressed hostesses.

"I've already booked the room, my lord, let's go in." Reed leaned over at this moment.

Sol grabbed his collar and pulled it aside: "I know you're very economical, but this time it's too much. Can you see for yourself that people can live here?"

Reed was disapproving: "So, my lord, you should go out more often to see the sufferings of the people. I think when my uncle and I went out to do business, the place was even worse..."

Glancing at Sol's uneasy expression, Reed hurriedly said, "I'm wronged, my lord, all the better hotels in the city are fully booked, and it was hard for me to find this one."

Jessica asked strangely: "It's full? How could it be? Wright is a big city in Masdy, so there's not even a single hotel vacant?"

Reed said helplessly: "Originally there were, but this afternoon Lamo led the team to the royal capital as soon as we entered the city. Although Lord Lamo was entertained by local officials to the official residence, his entourage was full of 500 people. All the inns are occupied."

Sol let go of his hand, he was really angry.Look at people, there are 5.

Jessica snorted coldly: "The law of the kingdom stipulates that the lord's entourage cannot exceed 500 people. Lord Lamo is so bold that he dared to touch the edge of violating the law."

Sol said angrily: "I also want to take hundreds of younger brothers out to be imposing, big sister, but it's a pity that we, Lovell, can only make up a few dozen, so we should worry more about ourselves."

"You..." Jessica said angrily, "Is it a big deal if there are too many people?"

At this time, Kress and Chip led the guards to settle the carriages and horses, and also came over.Seeing such a dilapidated hotel, they didn't seem to care. Kress and others didn't care at all, and Chip and Yeying members were professional soldiers, and they didn't care about the quality of the accommodation.

At this time, Reed suggested: "If the lord is really dissatisfied, I will go find it again."

Jessica stopped him: "Just here, there is no place to live, don't you think so, my lord?"

Marlene also said, "Master, I will clean up the room you live in."

What else could Saul say?Only obediently and Jessica walked into the tavern.

When a group of people came in, the tavern, which was originally extremely noisy, fell silent for a moment. After a moment of silence, the drinkers burst into ear-piercing screams, most of which were aimed at Jessica and Marlene.

Jessica pulled the overwhelmed Marlene into a seat with a cold face, but Kress and the others didn't respond. It's normal to boo at a beautiful girl after drinking two more glasses in the tavern, and there's nothing strange about it.

The tavern owner quickly brought out the food and drinks, all of which were of poor quality, which matched the environment here very well.Everyone turned a blind eye to the Lowell family crest embroidered on the leather armor by the defenders, which showed the status of Lowell in the Kingdom of Dinar.

However, everyone has long been accustomed to this kind of situation, and the hungry defenders immediately let go of their mouths, not caring about the poor food and drink at all.After a while, some team members got along with the drinkers at the next table. They called each other brothers and toasted each other. They were so intimate as if they were raised by a mother. Sol couldn't help feeling the adaptability of the Lovells.

If you observe carefully, you can see that although the drinkers in the tavern are rude and unknown, they have not done anything deviant, so Sol feels relieved and concentrates on dealing with the bread that is as hard as a rock on the plate.

Not long after, with a loud bang, the door of the tavern was kicked open again.This time, seven or eight drunk men came in with their shoulders crossed.They wore uniform leather armor with long swords around their waists. They were obviously soldiers who came out to have fun at night.

Seeing the badges on their chests, Jessica said in a low voice, "It's a soldier from Lamorland."

The tavern owner hurried up: "Welcome, what do you guys need?"

The leading soldier glanced at the tavern and said disdainfully, "Is this a tavern? It looks like a pigsty to me."

Ignoring the embarrassment of the boss, the rest of the soldiers laughed unscrupulously.Being insulted at the same time, all the drinkers showed anger on their faces, but due to the identity of the other party, they dared not speak out.

The soldiers were about to retreat when they suddenly saw Jessica and Marlene sitting in a corner of the tavern, their drunken eyes lit up immediately.Pushing away the boss, several people walked towards Saul's table.

"I didn't expect such a beautiful girl to exist in this kind of place. Hey, how much will it cost to stay with me for one night?" the leading soldier asked Jessica presumptuously.

Marlene had never seen such a scene before, and hid in Jessica's arms in fright.Jessica gave him a cold look: "Sorry, I'm not the kind of woman you think."

"Hahahaha..." The soldier laughed loudly: "You are still pretending to be a lady here, come back to the hotel with me, the toilets there are cleaner than here." He stretched out his hand to pull Jessica.

Jessica snapped his hand away: "I'm sorry, please respect yourself."

Holding the back of his hand that was red from the beating, the soldier was furious: "Stinky bitch, you dare to hit me?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Reed quickly got up to smooth things over: "Hahaha, misunderstanding, we are indeed ordinary customers. If the soldiers are really uncomfortable, I just saw a brothel on the corner of the street. It has beautiful decoration and a grand appearance. You might as well go there, and if you have a good time, remember to come back and tell the younger brother..." More things are worse than less things, Reed looked like a businessman.

"Who are you, dare to meddle in my business?" Seeing that Reed dared to interrupt, the soldier slapped him.

It's a pity that before he touched Reed's face, his wrist was held by a strong hand.Kress said with a grin, "Hey, brother, have you had enough trouble?"

The soldier struggled for a few times but did not move at all, and immediately turned around and shouted: "What are you still doing, why don't you come and help me?"

The group of soldiers rushed over as if they had just woken up from a dream. Unfortunately, they had just walked a few steps when they realized that a group of young people had inserted themselves in between them, blocking everyone to death.

"Lord, what should we do?" Kress asked Saul.

The enraged soldiers didn't notice Kress' address to Sol, and before Sol could reply, he said angrily: "Bastard, I'm the captain of Lord Lamo's private guard, you little boy with an idiot face Is it the boss? Don’t tell him to let me go!"

"Hey..." A vein popped up on Sol's forehead.Look like an idiot?Boyfriend?Bastard, do you think I want this look?Thinking that I am a grand descendant of the Yellow Emperor, now in this damn world, and attached to this guy with a bad face, you dare to call me an idiot little boy! ?

In a rage, Saul couldn't control that much anymore, he pointed his finger: "Beat! Beat me until their mother doesn't recognize it!"

Before the words were finished, the trapped soldiers screamed in unison, and all curled up and knelt down on the ground, but the guards immediately used various methods to bring them down.

The young people in Lowell are not afraid of the sky, and these guys insulted Miss Jessica, now that they have the order of the lord, why don't they do their best?All of a sudden, there were fists rising and falling, and the tavern was full of slapping blows and wailing and howling of pain.

Fighting in the tavern is a common occurrence. Not only are the drinkers not afraid of it, but they are also afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Some bold ones even secretly kicked a few times to vent their anger.

The team leader was completely drunk, startled and angry: "How dare you...do you know that I am..."

Snapped!Kress punched him in the lower abdomen, and the guy burst out with snot and saliva in an instant, squatting down with a sore face.

"What did you say? I didn't hear it." Kress brought him up with a smile.

"I'm Lamo..."

Snapped!
"Lord Lord..."

dong dong!

"Personal Guard..."

Crash!boom!Boom, boom!
"My team... oh, I was wrong, don't fight, forgive me!"

"My lord, please check and accept it. Does his mother still recognize it?" Kress brought the already out-of-shape team leader to Saul.

But seeing his face with blue eyes and swollen mouth, wrinkled facial features, grunting and whimpering, he looked like a pig's head.Seeing this look, Jessica and Marlene couldn't help but giggle.

Sol pretended to look at it for a while: "It seems to be a bit human, continue to fight."

"I don't recognize it, I definitely don't recognize it. Wuwuwu... Please let me go." The captain hurriedly begged for mercy.

Sol is so cool, it turns out that bullying others is such a pleasant thing... Huh?No, what bullying, I was just forced to defend myself.

"Okay, okay, stop." Thor stopped.

The guards stopped their hands one after another, and some of the drinkers who were playing vigorously kicked a few times, and the sound of killing pigs rang out again in the tavern.

"Okay, get out, next time you molested a woman, remember to check the situation first." Sol waved his hand.

Those soldiers didn't dare to stay, they crawled out of the tavern, and the captain's arrogant voice came from outside: "Bold guy, wait for me, I'll make you look good later!"

After the fight, the tables and chairs in the tavern were overturned, and the wine was overflowing, making a mess.The boss seemed to be accustomed to this, and took out a notebook to write calculations without any haste, and came to Sol's desk in a short while.

"Boss, I'm really sorry to make your shop like this." Jessica said shyly.

The tavern owner laughed boldly: "Where is it, I should thank you for teaching those bastards a lesson. I have invited you for dinner tonight."

"Although the place isn't great, the people are nice." Sol whispered to Jessica.

Before Jessica said anything, the boss said again: "But since you apologized, I'm not polite. The broken tables, chairs, cups and plates cost 2 gold coins. Those guys should have been compensated, but you let them go , so..." He stretched out his hand unceremoniously.

"I take back what I just said!" Saul gritted his teeth.

After tidying up the shop and serving drinks again, the tavern quickly resumed its bustle, as if what happened just now hadn't happened at all.They were full of wine and food, and everyone was about to go upstairs to have a rest, when Qi Pu drank in a low voice: "Someone is here!"

Chip and Yeying didn't participate in the fight just now, they just sat and ate leisurely from the beginning to the end, as if everything that happened around them had nothing to do with them, showing the good quality of professional soldiers.

But at this time, before Kip finished speaking, the four Yeying members jumped out of their chairs like lightning, closed all the windows in the tavern in an instant, and then gathered around Sol, their faces full of vigilance.

Kress's defenders were only slow for a moment, and they also stood up from their seats and scattered around Sol's table.

"Wow? What's going on?" Just when Sol didn't understand, the door of the tavern opened, and several swordsmen in full-body armor walked in under the leadership of the pig-headed captain.

"It's them!" Captain Pig pointed to Sol.

Through the gap behind several people, Sol saw that the street outside was densely packed with people, and the flashes of weapons lit up from time to time, obviously the whole tavern was surrounded.

"Hey, it seems that all the tables and chairs in the store can be replaced with new ones tonight." The tavern owner whistled happily, took out a pen and paper and leisurely hid behind the counter.

Thor looked up to the sky and sighed: How could I be so unlucky.
