Guild Boss's Ambition

"But Sister Branny can read a whole afternoon..."

"The conclusion is that I, Xiao Lian, am not cut out for studying?"

After class, I held the sandwich made by teacher Isabella in my mouth and walked back to the stone house alone.

Because the Jiuyuan Bell Tower and the Stone House are only a short fifteen-minute walk away, Sister Xiaolan and the president were very confident in letting me go home by myself. However, somehow, except for the first few days, I seemed to walk a particularly long way home on the rest of the days. For example, today, when I came to my senses, I had already arrived in front of a stall selling hot pancakes.

"It's hot and fragrant..."

"I've never tasted the strawberry flavor before..."

If it were in the past, I would have probably brought down one of the pancakes above early in the morning, but I got spanked on the hand for this when I went out shopping with Sister Xiaolan last time. Unlike Sister Ailan's whip, Sister Xiaolan's spanking was very light, but also very heavy, which made me feel guilty and disappointed her.

The demon was right. After Sister Elan died, all I had left was a stone house.

I stood in front of the small stall that exuded a sweet aroma, silently watching the hot pancakes being made one after another by the ferocious-looking old man, feeling troubled in my heart.

"If only I hadn't used the pocket money the president gave me to buy candied haws this morning..."

"Those delicious but insatiable foods are the devil of impulse..."

"But if I sneak back to the stone house and ask Strom and the others to help me cook, Sister Xiaolan will scold me again..."

"You'll get fat...you'll get cavities..."

"Even though the devil said that he could recover with a reshaping spell..."

"Little girl, if you don't want to buy it, please go away, okay?"

Perhaps I stood there for too long, and the old man with the fierce face began to feel impatient. He glanced at me coldly and no longer shared the leftover pancakes with us helpless children like he used to. Could it be that he didn't recognize me because I had my hair cut and changed my clothes? Woo...

How abominable.

The old man with the vicious face is so hateful.

I stole one of his pancakes and gave it back to him.

The old man with the vicious face looked at me in surprise, and finally recognized me as I was before: "Humph! If you have money, use it to buy it, and don't use these despicable means. Just because of you little brats, I don't know how many pancakes I have sold for nothing in a year!"

His lecture made sense, but I still stared at him with tears in my eyes.

I really want to eat hot pancakes today...

"Even if you look at me like this, I won't give it to you!"

Stare

"No means no! If you have money, just buy it with your money!"

Stare

Then, as we, an old man and a young man, were confronting each other, two people came to the stall to buy hot pancakes.

Both are people with very distinct images.

The leader had long, beautiful blond hair that was like wool, and she was wearing heavy armor that rang loudly. There was an exaggerated square tower shield and a cross sword hanging on her back. I almost thought she was a cop who was chasing me to catch a thief.

Next to that person was a girl with a giant backpack. Although she didn't have the armored silver helmet that was almost armed to the teeth, it didn't prevent others from recognizing their blood relationship at a glance. In addition to the soft light golden hair, they also had a pair of green eyes, and both had the temperament of upper-class people...

They discussed for a while what flavors they wanted to eat, and then turned their attention to me.

The armored woman asked me, "Little boy, do you want some hot pancakes too?"

I looked at the old man with the ferocious face, and didn't dare to nod to the armored woman to indicate that I wanted to eat. I just pretended not to hear her words and stared at the iron plate in the stall that was steaming with the sweet aroma of butter.

"Well, old man, give us three hot strawberry pancakes."

"Okay, four hot strawberry pancakes."

Because the old man's hot strawberry pancakes are always popular 365 days a year, he always prepares five or six in advance and keeps them there so that they won't get cold. When the pair of creatures, who are thought to be sisters, first arrived, the hot pancakes were just cool enough to be eaten.

"Chenghui, five silver coins."

"Thank you, old man."

After paying, the armored woman walked up to me and gave me a bag of hot pancakes.

I dare not accept it, otherwise the old man will be angry.

I pushed the hot pancake back and shook my head in denial.

But the armored woman pushed the hot pancake towards me again, leaning over and whispering in my ear, "Don't refuse. The old man secretly gave us an extra pancake. If you miss the taste of it one day, come and pay the old man to buy a new one."

I looked at the old man and he turned his face away stiffly.

It no longer looked like a ferocious face, but a very funny expression.

I decided never to steal from him again.

At this time, the girl with the giant backpack said in an unhappy voice: "Sister, if we don't leave now, the deadline for the letter delivery mission will pass, and we have to find a place to stay. I don't want to travel thousands of miles to a foreign land and not be able to find a roof to shelter us from the wind and rain. Besides, we already have little money. Please stop thinking about doing good deeds for others all day, okay?"

"It doesn't matter if you make a few silver coins, does it?"

"Even one or two silver coins are important assets for making a fortune!"

"Hey, hey! Sister won't do that next time!"

"You're going to do it that way anyway, right?"

"Oh my, Sophie-chan has seen through it. Is it true that the younger sister is the worm in the older sister's heart?"

"Please don't use such a perverted metaphor."

"Why are you so indifferent to me──"

"Because if I don't treat you coldly, you'll just keep coming up to me."

"No, no, no, even if Sophie-chan isn't indifferent to me, Sister actually sneaks over to me every night──"

I silently watched the two sisters leave, and suddenly I found that there was one more thing at hand.

It wasn't a strawberry pancake, it was something completely inedible.

A piece of smelly parchment.

"Oh no! If this is an important item..."

I looked up nervously for their figures, and ran to several block intersections without giving up, but I still couldn't find any trace of the two sisters. So, I had to run back to Sister Xiaolan for help in a hurry.

"I guess I'm going to be lectured again?"

……

……

12. Principality of Saint Laurent (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

I forgot who said that.

A man should know how to appreciate whiskey──

However, when I found that I could no longer bear more than 150 ml of Morningstar, I completely understood that drinking alcohol is a waste of money and a health-depleting habit. Strawberry milk and red bean buns are the right attitude to life!

Just when I was about to go to the kitchen to get today's red bean buns, Gu Shan sent a message.

The two sets of armor that Sister Meng'er and I bought at the weapon shop that day have all arrived.

I immediately took the receipt and went downstairs to direct the workers to move the two sets of armor to Bai Ye's room.

What? Why did you say I moved them to Bai Ye's room?

"Why are you moving them to my room?"

Glancing at the two sets of armor, one silver and one red, the Necromancer gave me an inquiring look.

But the reason for this is very simple and direct.

I pointed at the red armor and explained to her like I was presenting a treasure: "I found this armor in a weapon shop a while ago. The shopkeeper thought it was just an ordinary decoration, but in fact, it is an item that even my true eye cannot detect. What do you think? What do you think? Miss Bai Ye, are you interested in it too?"

Unfortunately, Bai Ye only looked at me with admiration.

"Very good, very good. Uru, you are really becoming more and more aware of being a poster girl. It was just a simple introduction of an item, but you turned around twice, gave a seductive look, and finished with lifting your skirt. This is so cute, I give it 9 points."

"It's obvious that he has great strength, okay?"

I wasn't afraid of her teasing. I just frowned and fiddled with the armor's bracket, like an antique grandma who didn't know how to use electrical appliances and asked the younger generation: "Anyway, Bai Ye, can you show me how to use this thing?"

Bai Ye came over and started observing the armor. She rarely refused anything I asked her for.

She looked at it quietly for about five minutes and then made a decision.

She said with a faint smile: "Fortunately, you knew to come to me to identify this thing. Otherwise, with Ahd's stubborn personality, she would definitely test the hardness of the armor with one axe, and then the whole armor would be destroyed."

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

Bai Ye touched the shiny surface of the armor and said with a smile: "Uru, the red substance you see now is not actually a metal mineral, but the real blood of the dragon race, that is, the life of a dragon. Although the dragon blood of this armor is a hybrid, it has indeed successfully developed a very good defensive effect."

As I looked at her in confusion, she heroically fired several pitch-black magic balls at the blood-red armor.

The blood-colored armor that touched the magic ball remained completely motionless until the magic ball disappeared, and there was no change at all.

Bai Ye continued to explain: "This armor is a traditional craft of the Dark Alliance. It does not emphasize actual combat effects. It pursues extreme magic defense. It can probably offset the fifth-level or lower destructive magic. At the same time, it can also slightly improve the wearer's resistance to mental magic. Its biggest disadvantage is──"

Bai Ye stretched out his finger and scraped the shoulder guard of the armor, leaving a deep groove.

"Hey, hey, don't scrape it randomly. Dragon's blood is very nutritious for the body." I immediately protested.

Bai Ye immediately knocked on my head and seriously corrected my common sense: "If you really eat this thing, I can guarantee that your whole body elements will be out of balance within 30 minutes, and then you will die of poisoning, eh? Wait──"

Bai Ye suddenly seemed to remember something and retracted his preface: "I almost forgot that you, Uru, are insulated from magic and weapons. If that's the case, you can safely dissolve it in hot water and drink it as juice. After drinking it, your stomach will feel warm and comfortable. Most dragon blood tastes like grapes. Adding some honey and lemon will make it more refreshing and pleasant."

After saying that, she broke off a large piece of shoulder armor and handed it to me.

I hesitated for a moment, but finally resisted the urge to complain and put it into my space ring.

Dragon's blood or something? Everyone has to drink it once in their life, right?

When my gaze moved back to Bai Ye from the prop column, I found that the entire set of dragon blood armor had disappeared.

"Eh? Where's my armor?"

The necromancer blinked his bright eyes and said with a smile, "I put the things away. I have never studied real dragon blood thoroughly before. Now that I have new materials, I will naturally use them to have some fun. Hmm, how about this? This armor will be considered as the condition for me to help you participate in the Midwinter Competition. You don't need to give me any gold coins."

Everyone……

Let’s think about this…

Is it really a good deal to exchange a piece of dragon blood armor for Bai Ye's chance to participate in the competition?

No, no!

This stuff is genuine dragon blood. As soon as you hear it, you know it is something that can be sold for a lot of gold coins, not the paper-wrapped grape juice sold in convenience stores. Even if it is really sold as an alchemical material, as long as we hype it up, I believe it will be a considerable profit. But for us, the value of real dragon blood in the market is still very vague, so we must do a detailed investigation first...

"No, no, I want to keep the armor. Bai Ye, you should think about other rewards." I quickly asked Bai Ye to spit out my cash cow again, but she didn't seem to have any intention of opening the space ring again.

She lazily used her magician's hand to move the extra silver armor out of the door, and promised, "Don't panic, don't panic, I will try my best not to damage it. If I really damage it by accident, I will compensate you according to the market price. And if you study it more deeply, it is possible that it will be useful in the midwinter competition."

well.

Anyway, what Bai Ye does is always to my liking.

My attempts to refute her didn't seem to have any success.

However, where there is a will, there is a way. Even if I am just refuting for the sake of refuting, I will defeat Bai Ye in an argument one day!

Ok……

Why do I feel like my thoughts just now are filled with some ambiguity?

Bai Ye said suddenly, "Uru, don't think about dirty things──"

"Who would think about dirty things? You're the only one who would think about dirty things!"

I immediately stood on tiptoe defensively to protest, but as soon as I said that, I realized that I was completely exposing myself, and Bai Ye did her job well and did not miss this flaw and kept attacking: "It seems that you really are thinking about something naughty, um, um, you are avoiding looking at my mouth, are you going to kiss me? That's not allowed, Uru, you can't kiss me──"

"Why not?"

This question flashed through my mind quickly, but was instantly overwhelmed by a strong sense of shame. I refused to admit it: "Please don't speculate on other people's minds. Your mind-reading skills are not always so accurate!"

Bai Ye nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "It's true that it's not very accurate. It's just that all the legitimate casinos in the entire alliance have blacklisted me. And if you, Uru, have really reached the biological stage of sexual intercourse and have magical needs in that area, I will prepare one or two epoch-making magic wands for you tomorrow. I guarantee that they will be more practical and better than those stinky men's things..."

"Only a fool would want to try out your damn magic wand!" I yelled with my face flushed.

But Bai Ye, like a salesman, caught my ear with his rhetoric: "The basic version can adjust the speed, velocity and temperature. The advanced version is more dangerous. The electric shock magic and air compression are both well-received by the public. When using it, it is best to find a close friend to watch over you and try it out, just in case."
