hunt and eat

Chapter 126 The shield crab is unsalable, help the children!
"No... there is no..."

"Nowhere..."

In the courtyard in the afternoon, Weiwei anxiously searched every corner of the blacksmith shop.

The sack that was originally placed in the corner was completely gone at this moment.

"Old man, where is my alloy?"

"How big is a bag of alloy?"

Weiwei grabbed the boss's shoulder and said with great grief and indignation.

"I don't know, little boss, I gave you the key alone. I played cards with the owner of the cat house all afternoon, and I don't know anything..."

The old blacksmith scratched his thinning hair innocently.

"No, I have so many orders in the afternoon, and now you tell me that the materials are gone..."

Weiwei was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Hey, I knew something would happen..."

The ancient tower on the side sighed silently in his heart.

Although it can't be said to be [-]%, the number of times Weiwei has been lucky is not much different from winning the lottery.

From meeting her to the present, this guy's luck seems to have been bad.

Even, the downward trend is becoming more and more obvious.

At least in the beginning, Weiwei at least had her own house. In the original world, she would be considered a little rich woman.

now...

Suddenly, Guta looked somewhere.

There is a corner of the yard, and there seems to be some strange marks left on the ground.

"Vivi, look there. He pointed in that direction.

The two approached slowly.

I saw a line of words written crookedly on the ground.

【Garbage... Take it away... Thank you... Later... Repay】

The handwriting is extremely blurred, and many characters are unrecognizable. The mess makes Guta wonder if the person who wrote this word has long hands.

After finishing this line, there is a smiling face pattern of a praying mantis.

"I'm laughing at you!"

Weiwei stepped on it angrily.

Smacking his lips, Guta looked at the red-haired girl whose chest was heaving because of being too excited, and persuaded: "If you can't do it, just return the money. At worst, I'll accompany you to apologize one by one."

At this time, Guta was too embarrassed to play tricks on Weiwei again, and suggested sincerely.

"No, that money..."

Unexpectedly, Weiwei instantly shook her head like a rattle.

"I spent that money yesterday, and replaced it with raw materials for new equipment..."

she said falteringly.

Guta was dumbfounded.

"I... I thought I was sure to earn the money. At that time, I just saw those materials were being sold at a clearance sale, and they said it was the last day. As soon as I got hot, I..."

"My aunt, that profiteer has been talking about liquidation for almost a month, and I saw him open a second branch across the street last week!"

Guta covered his face and said speechlessly.

After a while, Weiwei cautiously looked at the ancient tower.

"What should we do now?"

Taking a deep breath, Guta resisted the urge to beat this guy violently.

After all, the main responsibility this time is indeed not on Weiwei.

No one could have predicted the disappearance of the bag of alloys.

Guta said as calmly as possible: "I remember you killed a lot of small shield crabs yesterday, right? We'll go to the guild and sell them to your father later."

"He's not my father! It's just the same name."

Vivi protested.

"Shut up!" Guta glared at this guy viciously, and said in a low voice, "Now, he is your father, and the purchase price he pays determines how many days of steamed buns you will eat in the next period of time!"

As a member of the team, Guta and the others naturally wouldn't ignore Weiwei.

However, there should be some punishment.

At least let this silly girl learn a lesson, lest she be so unreliable next time.

He was already an old unlucky guy, and he was still doing something every day, thinking that he was living too happily, right?

……

Carrying a whole sack of shield crab materials, Guta pushed open the gate of the guild.

"Hawk, do you still accept the shield crabs?"

Guta looked at the person in charge of Dede Village behind the counter.

"Take it, but...forget it, let's see how much you have first."

Hawke took the sack, opened it casually, and immediately glanced at Guta in surprise.

"Good guy, one-third of the small shield crabs were here yesterday, but I thought you wouldn't be interested in this weak monster?"

Hawk said teasingly.

"This guy is a hunter, can you tell me what the price is?"

Wei Wei who pulled Yan Baji from behind pushed her to the front, and Gu Ta spoke directly.

"Well, this price."

Hawke gestured.

"No, this price is not even half of the usual price!"

Weiwei was a little impatient.

At the same time, Guta also frowned.

The price is indeed too low.

He looked at Hawke who was shaking his head, and said seriously: "I never knew that the guild would also do things to lower prices?"

With a wry smile, Hawke simply explained clearly.

"Don't get me wrong, the price is okay. Have you ever thought about how many shield crabs you hunted yesterday?"

"That's more than in the entire past year."

Looking at the thoughtful Guta and Weiwei, Hawk spread his hands.

"You don't think that the material for the shield crab is what the guild wants...we just buy it for the local residents."

"To put it bluntly, the materials for shield crabs are already saturated, and Dede Village can't digest more materials... If you really want to sell them, I can accept them, but they need to be resold to other towns and villages. Shipping is not cheap."

After listening to Hawke's explanation, Guta and Weiwei looked at each other in dismay.

"Hi~Hi, I see..." Weiwei said weakly like a deflated ball for a moment, "I'm ready to eat steamed buns for three months."

"What's the situation?" Hawke looked at Guta suspiciously.

Sighing, Guta told the former about what happened today.

"Ah, you want to talk about the blacksmith shop...why, haven't you heard the rumor?"

"What rumor?" Both of them were taken aback.

"It probably started a few years ago. There is a saying that as long as you bring waste, there will be a god who will accept it and give you blessings."

"It is said that it will save your life at a critical moment~"

"Do you believe this?" Guta looked at it with disgust.

"Well, of course I don't believe it, but it is true that the scraps after forging have disappeared all the time. The key point is that there is no witness report. The whole thing is very strange."

Hawke said with a look of nostalgia.

"You don't care about that?"

Guta looked at the leader of the guild in front of him, with an expression on his face as if you were eating nothing.

"Don't look at me like that, you don't think I'm idle..." Hawke sighed, rubbing the space between his brows, "The release and settlement of missions, the daily security of the village and the management of monsters, I have always been alone. Responsible."

"Since no one was injured in an incident like the blacksmith shop, I naturally have no reason to do a special investigation... After all, I haven't had enough time to spend on such uncertain things."

"Let's get down to business, I already understand what Weiwei's headache is now, it's nothing more than money, how about it..."

Hawk crossed his hands on the counter and looked at the two with a smile.

"Promise me one condition, I can eat this batch of shield crabs at the original price."

This guy, would he be so kind?
Both Weiwei and Guta raised their heads vigilantly.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

"Then what's the price?" Guta asked.

"I have a task that I want to give to you."

For some reason, they are two people with completely different styles.

But Guta vaguely saw the shadow of Cassius from Hawke.
