Chapter 158 Alex
"Hehe, hehe, Xiaoyan, I will take you to find the pastor of our town!" Archon Robert looked at Ji Xiaoyan, whose expression seemed not to be good, and felt aware of it. He said quickly.
Ji Xiaoyan nodded and signed the IOU. Can he still regret it? And, most importantly, can you go back on your word with the NPCs? The answer is definitely no! So she had no choice but to compromise.
After Consul Robert took Ji Xiaoyan around a few street corners in the mist of Rhodes Town, they finally arrived at a place where Ji Xiaoyan had never been before. According to Governor Robert, this is their pastors union in Rhodes Town!
Ji Xiaoyan looked at the dilapidated house in front of her, and then compared it with the renovated new house in Rhodes Town that she had just seen along the way, and she knew it in her heart. What is a pastors union? That was just a gimmick, the old consul Robert wanted to make this place more upscale, so that she would feel that the gold coins were worth it. Now she no longer has any expectations for the priest NPC she is going to rent.
"Come on, come on! Xiaoyan, let's go in!" Consul Robert didn't feel embarrassed at all or felt ashamed of having deceived Ji Xiaoyan. He still looked at her with a smile on his face and said.
Ji Xiaoyan nodded silently and followed! Now that she was mentally prepared and her gold coins had been wasted, she had better calm down.
Pushing open the door of the small house in front of him, Ji Xiaoyan saw the furnishings inside. It was all tattered furniture, but fortunately, it was very clean. As soon as Consul Robert entered the door, he shouted inside: "Alex! Alex!"
"Who?" Ji Xiaoyan heard a female voice coming from the house, and then saw someone coming from the house. A female NPC wearing a light blue skirt emerged, holding a large spoon in one hand and a vegetable bowl in the other. Now Ji Xiaoyan was completely disappointed with her NPC priest! Can you expect a female NPC dressed as a housewife to be a top-notch priest like the old man Robert said?
“Alex, come on, come on!” Consul Robert greeted Alex with a smile on his face, and then said to Ji Xiaoyan: “Xiaoyan, this is Alex, She is our top pastor in Rhodes Town!”
Ji Xiaoyan nodded silently. Yes, yes! The best! There is probably only one priest like this in your town of Rhodes!
"Alex, this is Xiaoyan, you have seen it in the executive hall before, right?" Archon Robert said to Alex with a smile, "Xiaoyan wants to ask a priest to help them together. Go kill the monsters, you know!”
When Alex heard what Archon Robert said, he looked at him with surprise and asked: “Really, Mr. Archon? ”
Okay! Ji Xiaoyan now completely understood what it meant that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked! There is a consul who is greedy for money. How can the NPCs under him not talk about money in everything?
Consul Robert glanced at Ji Xiaoyan secretly, then pulled Yaris aside and whispered to her: "Six days, sixty silver coins! How about it? This price is not bad! I tried my best to help you fight for it!”
Alex looked at Archon Robert with excitement and asked loudly: "Really? Really? Mr. Archon? Sixty silver coins for six days?"
So, Ji Xiaoyan heard it ! Suddenly, the look in the eyes of Archon Robert was different. MD, old man Robert is too cruel! He was talking to her about one gold coin for six days, but now he was talking to this NPC named Alex about sixty silver coins for six days. According to the exchange rate of one gold coin equal to one thousand silver coins, this old man could do it easily. Just earned 940 silver coins! Is there such a shameless person?
Arch Robert looked at Alex in panic. Although he tried his best to stop the NPC from speaking out, ideals are the most beautiful, and reality is always cruel! So, he had no choice but to put on a stiff smile and look at Ji Xiaoyan.
"Well, Grandpa Robert, let's talk about it later?" Ji Xiaoyan crossed his arms and said with a smile on his face as he looked at Robert and Alex.
"Hehe, hehe! Xiaoyan, your matters are more important. What we want to talk about, we'll talk about it later! We'll talk about it later!" Archon Robert looked at Ji Xiaoyan with an embarrassed smile and said , then glared at Alex and said, "Put yourself together and go with Xiaoyan! Don't embarrass our town, understand?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, Lord Consul! Alex will definitely complete the mission!" Alex looked at Consul Robert with excitement and said, then looked at him shyly and said: " Well, Lord Archon, look at...look at this salary Can I pay it in advance? You also know... our family's situation..."
Then, Archon Robert glanced at Ji Xiaoyan, and then said with a look of hatred. He said to Alex: "Look at you, are you okay? In front of outsiders, Xiaoyan is one of our own! If it were an outsider, we would lose all face in Rhodes Town! Take it, sixty silver coins!"
Ya! After Li Si put away the silver coins with excitement on his face, Ji Xiaoyan listened again When Archon Robert arrived, he whispered to her: "After you go out, don't tell others how much your salary is! I helped you get such a high salary. If others find out later, they will say I'm unfair!"
Alice nodded hard to express his understanding! Ji Xiaoyan was speechless. Although I had long known that the old Archon Robert was very shameless, I never thought that he could be so shameless to an NPC in their town! "Go ahead, pack up and leave with Xiaoyan! Listen more to Xiaoyan, talk less and do more. Once Xiaoyan is satisfied, she will have more business for you in the future!" Archon Robert said sternly. After following Alex's instructions, he whispered again One sentence: "Don't teach her things randomly, and don't give her random gifts! You know? You can only sell Xiaoyan if she wants to buy it with gold coins! You know? Remember, they are gold coins. Don't give you any silver coins. Just give them to me." Things were sold cheaply!”
All right! Ji Xiaoyan now didn't even have the strength to be speechless. She finally realized that the old man Robert regarded her as a victim and a cash cow.
Looking at Alex, who had a new look and was wearing a white priest uniform, Ji Xiaoyan simply waved goodbye to Archon Robert and went directly to the teleportation array. She thinks that the Consul of Orsay is probably more reliable. Regarding the prescription, it is better to go to Oufa Town to look for it and see if there is any new discovery?
So, a few minutes later, Ji Xiaoyan and Alex appeared at the teleportation array in Oufa Town. Ji Xiaoyan said to Alex: "Let's go to the executive hall first!"
Alice looked at the scenery of Oufa Town with a novel look on his face and nodded fiercely. Ji Xiaoyan sighed again in her heart. Looking at this NPC, he looked like a country bumpkin who had never been to the city. Could it be that she had never been out of Rhodes Town before?
Ji Xiaoyan entered the ruling hall of Oufa Town without any obstruction, but Ji Xiaoyan did not see the Archon of Orsay. According to the chief of the guard of the Consul of Orsay, the Consul went out to have a chat with other people. As for where he went, no one knows! So Ji Xiaoyan was depressed again! Nowadays, NPCs are becoming more and more mobile. Just like Master Besa, they can travel all over the continent from River Water City.
After the failure in the executive hall, Ji Xiaoyan looked at the transmission time and saw that it was already less than half an hour. After thinking about it, she decided to buy all the things he wanted to bring to Fagan, the tavern owner in Riverwater City, and then went back. As for Fagan, when Ji Xiaoyan entered the tavern to find the teleporting NPC, he really didn’t think much about it. When he saw Ji Xiaoyan, his first reaction was actually thinking that the things she brought for him last time had almost been sold. So when people saw Ji Xiaoyan, they pounced on her. What they actually wanted was to ask the girl to bring something back.
Of course, the rumor about her and Lord Besa came to me later.
After buying the things, Ji Xiaoyan greeted the NPC priest Alex who had been following her obediently.
“Let’s go!” Ji Xiaoyan turned to face Alex and said.
Alice nodded and said nothing!
Ji Xiaoyan looked at her and fell silent. This NPC really listened to the old man Robert. He told her to talk less and do more, but she simply stopped talking. You think, if one day she tells Alex that she actually paid a gold coin to hire her for six days, will this NPC fall out with the old man, Archon Robert?
Ji Xiaoyan glanced at Alex evilly. Forget it! It would definitely be painful to offend a town's governor, and the important thing is that she still has assets in Rhodes Town! Although it has not been fulfilled yet!
The teleportation array flashed with white light, and Ji Xiaoyan took Alex back to River Water City. After giving away the things Feigen asked to buy, Ji Xiaoyan got a bunch of experience rewards, two gold coins and some favorability points from the NPCs in River Water City, and then ignored Feigen and asked her and Bei with a gossipy look. Regarding Master Sa's matter, he took Alex and left.
We walked all the way to another tavern that was agreed upon with Thunder Kitten and the others. Ji Xiaoyan walked in and looked into the hall, only to find that there was no one there! So, Ji Xiaoyan was puzzled. Didn't they agree to wait for her here? Why didn't she see anyone when she came back? Have they collectively gone offline? Ji Xiaoyan rolled his eyes at himself speechlessly. Forget it, it's better not to make random guesses and just ask the waiter directly.
“Waiter, do you know where the table of adventurers here went?” Ji Xiaoyan caught a waiter and asked.
"I know!" The waiter nodded happily.
Ji Xiaoyan was confused, why was the waiter in this shop so happy? Could it be that he picked up gold coins?
"Then can you tell me where they went?"
The joy on the waiter's face became more obvious, "Do you really want to know?"
Ji Xiaoyan nodded.
So, the waiter immediately extended a hand to Ji Xiaoyan with a smile on his face, and then said: "One gold coin, thank you for your patronage!"
PS: Thank you to Ling Que of "cat369"! Thanks to "No. 321" for the tip! O(∩_∩)O~ Qianqian is still ill and has not recovered yet. Recently, I have been updating once a day. I’m sorry everyone!
