Wolf King

Chapter 106 Good business

Isaac Robbins, the first time he picked up the bowl of noodles with red oil floating in his hands, he fell.

Isaac, who is used to light tastes, never knew that he also likes heavy-tasting food so much, such as smooth noodles with a slight spicy taste, hot and oily soup, refreshing vegetable leaves, and he can’t recognize but tastes delicious. It’s really satisfying bean sprouts and pickles. This gentleman, who has been away from home for several years and still adheres to the noble dining etiquette, shakes his cheeks and chews while standing among a group of risk-takers with no manners at all. Sweating out of nowhere.

In the past, Isaac was very disgusted by people knocking the soup plate with a spoon, but now he couldn't remember to use a spoon to drink soup, and directly put his mouth to the edge of the bowl, gulping down the rich and sour soup. The spicy soup is drunk in the stomach.

"Huh, ha! Hiccup!"

When Isaac came back to his senses, the bowl was already empty, and he was exhaling and hiccupping indistinctly. He subconsciously covered his lower lip with the back of his hand, only to find that the people around him were all hot, sweaty and hot. Exhale straight, no one cares whether he is decent enough or not.

Isaac was a little ashamed, but more relaxed. He found that there was nothing wrong with this. Perhaps it was only reasonable to behave so generously and undisguisedly when eating the food of the "vicious beast" Snow Wolf Clan.

"It's amazing, this is the food, what I used to eat!" A barbarian adventurer drank the soup in the bowl and waved his arms excitedly, "The snow wolves are awesome, the snow wolves are awesome! Long live the Wolf Clan!"

The rough adventurers didn't care about the etiquette rules of not making any noise during meals, and immediately burst into laughter, and many people joined in the fun and shouted sticks at the Snow Wolf Clan.

Yu and the snow werewolf fighters laughed happily, and they felt proud that their food was so popular, Yu Yang picked up the spoon for adding ingredients: "If you still want to eat, continue to line up, and you have to pay!"

"Give money, give money!" The barbarian adventurer couldn't help laughing, trotted to the back of the noodle stand to return the bowl, and hurriedly returned to rearrange... Five copper coins are only enough to buy a glass of low-quality dwarf rum, eat this thing Much better than drinking bland, tasteless rum.

"Isaac, Isaac!" The orc Malkan had already finished eating, and he was already standing in the rearranged line, waving to the head of the group.

"Hi, I don't need it." Isaac waved his hands and shook his head. He is just a normal person. Three taels of powder and soup can't hold him back. No matter how delicious it is, he doesn't have the stomach for another bowl.

"Let's go to the barbecue, it smells great over there." The dwarf Arnold also didn't have an inhuman stomach, but he was not happy to just go back to the hotel, and dragged Isaac to the barbecue stand opposite.

There were no people at the barbecue stand at first, after all, adventurers who ate barbecue until they vomited, and no one was greedy for it; but for barbecue... as long as you are willing to put the ingredients and use them correctly, the aroma is really not bad. Ordinary people can compete; when I took a closer look, I found that the barbecue of the Snow Wolf clan is not only meat, but also vegetables, cabbage, radishes, leeks, sweet potatoes and potatoes. In fact, it is all kinds of tofu, potato cakes, sweet potato cakes, etc.), so people who come here can't leave... Isn't eating all of them in line with the spirit of adventurers who dare to explore the unknown?can't~

At first, Isaac just wanted to accompany Arnold to taste it casually. When he came back to his senses, he had already fallen into the curse of skewering... If the food he ate almost blocked his throat and made him His eyes turned white, he might not be able to wake up so quickly...

Looking at the large handful of iron fibers in his hands, Isaac was in a daze: What's going on?How did I eat so much again? !

In good conscience, the barbecue of the Snow Wolf family is also sold quite cheaply. You can choose four skewers with a two-gram copper coin, and the ingredients for each skewer are sufficient. If you are full, the cost is about the same as eating a large bowl of noodles; but if you eat a large bowl of noodles and then eat this amount of skewers, it is quite amazing. Anyway, Isaac is completely scared by his "potential".

"Isaac, you're really good, hiccup, I can't do it if I just eat a little bit, hiccup!" Arnold returned the iron fiber to the snow werewolf, counted out the copper coins and paid, covering his stomach with his hands in pain.

"..." Isaac didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he counted Tie Xian and returned it to the snow werewolf who came to collect the money, and was thinking about the fee he should pay, when the snow werewolf who came to collect the money said to him honestly: "You eat 32 strings, a total of eight copper coins."

Isaac nodded and took out the money, but suddenly stopped, and looked up blankly at the snow werewolf who collected the money.

"Eight copper coins." The snow werewolf thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again, and compared the number eight with gestures.

Isaac paid the money stiffly, and watched the snow werewolf warrior who was carrying a leather bag to recycle iron fiber and collect money to the next group of people; The orcs and three human races counted a lot of iron fibers. Before Isaac saw his movements clearly, he stretched out his hand to others: "You ate 48 strings, twelve copper coins. You ate twelve String, three copper coins, you have eaten 29 strings, the extra string is not considered money, you give me seven copper coins..."

Isaac was stunned and hot!

What's the matter!The legendary wild and ferocious Snowwolves are so proficient in arithmetic and so fast!This is not in line with common sense!

"Wait a minute, is it a miscalculation? Why do I eat so much less than him?" An orc adventurer pointed to his companion in disbelief.

"It's not wrong, you did eat 29 skewers. Look, five iron fibers are divided into one place, and the portion you eat is divided into six piles. One pile has one less and only four sticks, five five 25, and four more skewers , that’s 29.”

"Hahahaha, let me just say that I'm the one who eats the most! Don't count their money, buddy, I'll pay for it all. How much is the total?" The orc who won the belly test laughed.

"Oh, okay, that's 48 plus twelve, plus 29... You have eaten a total of 120 and two strings, which count as thirty copper coins, and the extra two strings are not counted as money."

Not only Isaac stared at the warrior as if he had seen a ghost, but the adventurers around him, including the orc adventurer who paid the money, were stunned...

The snow wolf warrior collected the money and continued to collect the iron fiber from the next group of people who raised their hands to settle the accounts. The orc warrior who had just paid the money got together with his companions and worked hard to settle the accounts just now— — It’s not that they suspect that the Snow Wolf Clan overcharged them with a few copper coins, but that this guy’s calculation is too fast, and they always feel that something is wrong!

Isaac is also working very hard on mental calculations. He has accepted authentic noble transactions, not to mention this kind of calculation, even if it is difficult to calculate numbers, it will not trouble him, but obviously, he has to use mathematical formulas step by step One step at a time, come as soon as you can open your mouth...

After calculating the answer several times faster than that snow wolf warrior, Isaac was shocked... The answer is correct, he did not calculate it wrong!

Isaac couldn't help but fell into deep contemplation... Are these snow werewolves who set up a stall outside the Elven Port to do business, are they fake snow werewolves? !

Mumu took back a bag of iron fiber and a bag full of copper coins, and happily went back to the barbecue stand: "Ayan, Ayan, it's a lot of money, listen to me!"

Ah Yan, who was squatting on the ground and vigorously brushing the iron fibers with a bristle brush, raised her head and looked at Mu Mu with resentment: "I don't listen, I should have collected the money, I don't want to hear how much you charge."

"That's because you are too slow in counting. When you go to collect the money, it will take time to count." Mumu raised her face proudly, lifted the leather bag upside down, and dumped the collected iron fiber beside Ayan, The copper coins in the pocket were poured into the wooden box and put away, and they were happily transferred out again.

Xiao Hua couldn't help being happy beside her, picked up a square kitchen knife and cut the whole piece of dried tofu into evenly sized slices, then took out the rolled tofu skin and spread it on the table, and lifted it down to the pouting Ayan Chin: "Why don't you wear skewers, and I'll wash iron fibers instead."

"No." Ah Yan refused angrily, and buried her head in scrubbing the slender hair.

"If you are not convinced, then do the math and do the questions carefully, and do more questions, and the speed will be faster when you are proficient." Xiaohua picked up a kitchen knife to cut the tofu skin, and persuaded.

"You just ignore him, whoever asks others to do a problem, he always finds ways to go out to play, he deserves it better than Mumu." Xiaohua's partner came over with a few skinned lamb legs and put them next to the chopping board, " Let me do the work, you go to the front and look at Mumu, she is just injured, if someone attacks her, she will be broken."

"That's fine. I'll leave it to you." Xiaohua waved to the soldiers surrounding the chopping board, walked to the grill, picked up the brush and skewered skewers, and watched the money collectors in the crowd while grilling. Mumu.

The business is better than everyone imagined before. These adventurers who came out to eat and drink are unwilling to leave when they can eat, and those who can’t eat are reluctant to go back. Those who didn’t come, or are fooled by bread The adventurers who had a meal rushed over again - the ingredients they had prepared were not enough, so they had to take out the portion that was going to be sold tomorrow, and two more sheep were slaughtered.

After working for nearly two hours, feeding more than a thousand adventurers, including the association officials who heard the news later, the forest elves left the scene again... and brought the vassal races along with them.

Last year at the beach bonfire party, these vassal races had nothing to eat, so they could only squat in the port and watch helplessly. This time, the supply was opened, and the elf general paid for it. …

That night, after closing the stall and returning to the wooden house assigned by the Snow Wolf Clan to rest, two boxes of rusty copper coins were placed on the table to count and settle the accounts. After a day, my wrist is a little out of control."

The soldier who had cooked thousands of bowls of noodles rubbed his arms and nodded wildly, thinking that it would be easy to cook and scoop the noodles while standing up, but he didn't expect it to be a bit tiring.

"Have the night watchmen been arranged?" Hongye came in from the outside, holding a bark paper ledger for counting supplies in her hand, and sat down on the wooden bench wiping off her sweat.

"It's been arranged. Ah Tian leads people to guard the first half of the night, and Xiao Hua guards the second half of the night. It will be you and me tomorrow night." Yu said.

Ah Tian is Xiaohua's partner, an elite warrior of the Snow Wolf Clan, whose fighting power is slightly worse than Xiaohua's, so he is arranged to guard the relatively safe first half of the night.

The same is true of Yu's arrangement for Hongye. Hongye belongs to that kind of warrior with special talent, a rare agile type in the snow wolf clan. Unfortunately, he is relatively young, not well trained, and lacks effective attack methods in frontal battles.

Hongye had no objection to this arrangement, she nodded and said: "Although the night patrol has been arranged, everyone should be careful. With so many people in the port, it is inevitable that no one will have bad intentions and treat us badly."

The soldiers nodded in unison, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Hongye's words... After being devastated by the dark fairy tale of the human world modified by Ayun for so long, except for Thrall, who everyone is very familiar with, other humans in the Snow Wolf Clan It seems that there is always a little bit of fear, as if he will turn black at every turn, and play tricks and schemes to kill people...

Mumu thought deeply and said: "I am in charge of collecting money today, and many people have been staring at me, and humans stare at me the most! By the way, there is one...with a pale face, wearing half armor, and dark hair. The human with brown curly hair stared at me the longest, he stared at me wherever I went, I don’t think that human is a good person.”

In the Elf Hotel, Isaac, who was uncomfortably stretched out and lying dead on the bed, suddenly sneezed violently.

"It's like this?" Xiaohua frowned, "Then don't go to collect the money tomorrow, and replace it with someone else."

"Okay." Mu Mu is a little self-willed, but she can clearly tell when to be self-willed.

"Tonight, I think it's better to start the night patrol earlier. If anyone approaches, drive away in advance, so as not to cause any trouble." Xiaohua's partner Ah Tian stood up.

"It's okay, everyone has worked hard." The soldiers assigned by Yu Chong to be on duty in the first half of the night nodded, and watched them go out with Ah Tian.

"Today, Hai Lin mentioned to me about letting us send people here to do noodle barbecue business." Hong Ye seriously brought up the matter, "I think this is good. On the one hand, we can have a long-term business, on the other hand , In this way, we can know when the port is here, even if it is... at least we know it."

Others didn't understand the part that Hongye omitted, but Yu could understand it, and nodded immediately: "This is really good, if someone is arranged to come over... I think we can listen to Ayun's opinion."

Hongye smiled: "Actually, I think Ah Yan is very smart, he can come."

"Hey, me?" Ah Yan was taken aback, then shook his head after thinking for a while, "No, I want to go to the middle of the grassland with you, I haven't been there yet."

"Don't mess around." Xiaohua put her hand on Ayan's shoulder, "It's safer to stay in the Elven Port. You are still too young to enter the middle of the grassland with us. After a few more years of practice, you will have a chance to go."

Ah Yan's mouth was pouted, but she didn't dare to object to Xiao Hua who watched him grow up.

Yu and Hongye glanced at each other, he could understand Hongye's thoughts, and kept Ayan at the Elven Port, one was to protect, lest Ayan follow them to "adventure"; Playing, even if you are deliberately stereotyped by a caring person, you won't get much information.

After thinking about the benefits of such an arrangement, Yu also nodded: "This is indeed possible, but if only Ah Yan stays here, it is not reassuring. Let's choose another soldier to come out to accompany Ah Yan, and the rest Let Ah Yun arrange the manpower. Xiaohua, who do you think is more secure for Ah Yan to accompany?"

Yu agrees with Hongye's idea that the fighters who stay in the Elven Port should be "newcomers", and asking Xiaohua for her opinion, besides trusting, she also believes that Xiaohua will not only "value" protecting the Li tribe.

"I think Ashu can come." Xiaohua thought for a while, but proposed a candidate that was unexpected to everyone, "Ashu stayed in the tribe to recuperate, but everyone in the tribe is very busy, and no one has time to spend more time with him. Accompany him, it would be better to let him come to Elven Port, the work here is easier than in the tribe, he can do it, and let him change his mood, so that A-Shu won’t feel uncomfortable from thinking too much."

Hongye & Yu: "..."

Don't mention the awkwardness in the hearts of these two who know the truth about Ashu's injury... On the one hand, Xiaohua's opinion is indeed very reasonable. Ashu, who had to leave the warrior team and stay in the tribe due to internal damage, should be given He arranged some more important and less tiring tasks to let Ashu know that everyone still valued him and trusted him, such as Mu Mu who had a shoulder injury, Ayun did not let her continue to undertake heavy work in the cement plant , Let her come and fight with the warrior team.

On the other hand...it's hard to describe in words. It's very subtle to put Ashu, who has weakened a lot after being injured, in front of the eyes of the elves all day long!

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment.

"No, I think this is a good idea." Hongye said quickly, "How about this, when we go back, we will suggest this to Ah Yun and see what Ah Yun says."

Isaac, who was stretched for the first time in his life, lay down for a long time and didn't recover from it. On the contrary, his chest tightness and abdominal distension became more and more uncomfortable, so he had to support the head of the bed with his hands and get out of bed.

"Isaac?" On the other bed, the orc Malken opened his eyes at once, rubbing his eyelids and looking at the leader.

Isaac made a "shh" gesture and said softly: "Don't wake Arnold. I'll go out and walk around to digest. I've eaten too much to support myself."

Malcolm blinked his eyes and continued to sleep.

The number of rooms in the Elf Hotel is not too large. A small team of four people is only allocated to one room, and two people share a bed.The big Malcolm and the little Arnold slept together, and the two humans, Isaac and Alex, slept together.

The thief Alex ran away in anger during the day and didn't come back, and Isaac didn't worry about him. This guy's temper is like this, and he will naturally return to the team when he leaves.Alex, who lived in a slum since he was a child, can survive in that kind of place where fish and dragons are mixed together, and he can live well. In this small port with simple personnel and forest elves, Isaac will not worry about what will happen to him. .

The person in charge of this elf hotel is a human woman who is a vassal of the elves. This old-fashioned woman is about thirty years old, and she behaves like a professionally trained maid. She is probably a runaway slave from some noble family. Fortunately, after being blessed by the elves, they treated the elves as their masters.When Isaac slowly moved downstairs, the shopkeeper who was diligently wiping up and down with a rag turned around immediately, straightened his back, folded his hands lightly in front of his belly, The palm of the hand perfectly hid the somewhat dirty rag, and said sternly, "Mr. Isaac, it's already night, where are you going?"

"It's just a walk, ma'am." Isaac nodded slightly, walked out the front door with his head up and his chest up. This kind of old-fashioned maid of a certain age is more troublesome than a strict tutor. If she behaves badly, she will definitely find a way to use people Not-so-pleasant language to remind you of your indecency.

Walking on the street, Isaac heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't like the person in charge of this hotel very much. Seeing her always reminded him of the beautiful and sweet time when he was still the little host of the Robbins family. Fragile time.

The moon is very bright, and the wooden houses in Elven Port are beautiful under the moonlight, but unfortunately, the sea breeze at night is a bit strong, making it impossible for people to completely calm down and appreciate this romantic exotic style.

Walking in the unfamiliar streets with the not-so-gentle sea breeze blowing in front of you, listening to the occasional blurred human voices from different hotels on both sides, and the indifferent gaze cast by the patrolling elf warriors in pairs, Ai Sac gradually doubted the correctness of the choice of walking under the moon.

"Let's go back." Walking to the intersection, Isaac lost interest in admiring the moonlight and turned around silently.

After walking back a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned his head.

At the intersection where he didn't go, a black shadow flashed away.

"How bold!" Isaac was furious in his heart, and suddenly pulled out his sword, an inconspicuous brilliance flashed across his body, his speed and strength were instantly enhanced, and he disappeared towards the shadow without hesitation. The direction rushed over.

Even adventurers with a silver medal or above recognized by the association will inevitably have mixed results, and Isaac is well aware of this situation.Before boarding the ship, Benjamin, the official of the association who organized this new land opening, approached a team leader with a good reputation like him, and asked them to stop some adventurers when they found that they might offend the elves, so as not to destroy the rare land. A good opportunity for the Fairy Forest to be open to the Association.

Although the elves are well-known, after all, there are only a hundred elves guarding the entire port. This has given wrong hints to some unruly people, thinking that small tricks that are invincible in other places can also be enjoyed on the territory of elves. It's not a good thing for Isaac who wants to walk the road in a well-behaved manner.

The other party probably saw the gap period when the elves patrolled. Isaac ran for half a street, and didn't see any elf warriors he met twice not long ago; his heart tightened, and he subconsciously slowed down... ...If the elf warriors cannot be attracted in time, it is not a good thing for him to go deep alone.

Just as he was hesitating whether to return to the crowded hotel street, a person suddenly appeared at the dark corner.

Isaac was very familiar with this person, and asked in surprise, "You, Alex?"

Alex put his fingers up in front of his mouth: "Shhh...be quiet, come here, Isaac."

Isaac put the saber back on, and strode closer annoyedly: "What are you doing, sneaking around in the street at night, how do you explain when you meet an elf warrior?"

"It's fine if you don't get discovered." Alex smiled, "It's fine, Isaac, you also ran out of the hotel street in the middle of the night, don't think I don't know what you are thinking, you are also moved, Right, old man?"

Isaac frowned, his face changed suddenly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. Fortunately, the night was thick and Alex, who was standing opposite him, didn't notice his abnormality.

Trying to be calm, Isaac lowered his voice: "I don't understand what you're saying, Alex, I'm just out for a walk."

Alex laughed for a while: "I understand, I understand, even if a person with status like me does the same thing as someone with no style like me, he still needs a beautiful excuse to look decent. But I think we But I have been working with you for many years, so it is better not to mention those boring things, what do you think?"

"Really?" Isaac gritted his teeth secretly.

"Of course, Isaac, that kind of thing is not popular, at least the new group of friends I found don't like to listen to twists and turns. Everyone prefers to speak clearly, so as not to quarrel with each other. There was a misunderstanding...the lowest offer on the black market for a snow wolf slave is [-] gold coins, and the value of a soldier is more than [-]. If you are not honest enough, such a big good business cannot be partnered with."
