Chapter 577 Luncheon Invitation
After Li Yu went back, he clicked on the app and first bought the T-shirt called [Mushroom Short Sleeve], and then looked through other products.
I bought another [Water Purification Gem], which is a 3-star piece of equipment. Its function is to purify the water source in a small area to a level close to tap water. The price is as high as 4200 faith points.
But Li Yu still placed the order, mainly because the water quality in Bratis was worrying, and it was often undrinkable even if it was boiled.
This is also the reason why almost every person there, whether noble or common, is an alcoholic.
In the foreseeable future, it will be difficult for Li Yu to build a water plant. Of course, he can also learn from the ancients to use charcoal and alum for purification.
But firstly, the cost is relatively high, and secondly, the effect is not particularly ideal, not as good as [Water Purification Gem], so these 4200 points of faith still have to be spent.
This will not only allow him, but also other people living in the territory, including Miss Rabbit, to drink clean water.
In just a short period of time, Li Yu spent 4,799 points of faith, and he still had 3,568 points of faith left. Li Yu planned to save them first.
Because [Reincarnation Bell] and [Force Gloves] both consume faith, and the prices of high-star equipment are often very shocking. Hephaestus did not lie. The final price he gave for [Glory of the Dead] was already very favorable. .
Other four-star equipment in the app often cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of faith. It will take a long time to save enough money.
However, spending 7,000 faith to buy equipment that was not used at ordinary times was still a bit too extravagant. Li Yu gave up after thinking about it for a moment.
You still have to consume rationally, and you can’t just look at it and think it’s not cheap.
When he returned to Bratis, Li Yu took the opportunity to try out the [Water Purifying Gem].
Unlike the wariness and cold reception they encountered when they went to Lionheart Castle to compete, the female lord and her party received warm hospitality from the passing lords when they returned.
It has to be said that the reputation bonus gained by the tournament champion is quite astonishing.
Especially considering that Ilea is the only female champion in the empire so far, this also makes her championship process even more legendary.
Miss Rabbit has been greeted with good wine and good food wherever she goes these days, and the weight she had lost due to the journey has gained back a bit. It's almost time to leave the green field.
Also growing along with it is her shooting skills.
Because after drinking and eating, the most common question the new champion was asked was whether he could perform that invisible force that defeated the Earth Bear and Morn.
Then the tipsy Miss Rabbit would pull out the dueling pistol she had on her waist and shout, "My Lord, give me strength on Saturday."
Then he fired at the lords' chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, trees, and armor prepared in advance.
Then, the lords, their wives, and their children blew away the white smoke from the guns while they were stunned, and gracefully sat back in their seats.
Witnessing such feats with their own eyes only made those people more in awe of the champion and the Saturday behind her.
And this is not the limit of that foreign god.
Viscount Ivan, who lived in the Elk Valley, was Durham's cousin. Before Duren went to confront Garth, he sent his wife Shelly and daughter Immel to his cousin.
Since the two of them traveled lightly, and unlike Miss Rabbit, who had to bring a large group of followers, and had various entertainment en route, they arrived half a month ago.
Ivan treated them well at first. He gave them a banquet on the first night they came to seek refuge, and later gave them the most luxurious bedroom in the castle.
But after hearing about what happened in the royal capital, especially after Du Lun severely offended the new emperor, Ivan's attitude became a little cold.
He was not as attentive as the previous few days, and when the news of Durun being killed by the Wing tribe reached Elk Valley, Ivan asked the two of them to move out of the bedroom and found another place for them to live outside the castle.
The euphemistic name is that in order to better protect them, try to keep their whereabouts from others as far as possible.
But Duren's wife Shelly saw it and Ivan was worried that they would be involved, so he kicked them out of the castle.
Several guards were furious and wanted to go to Ivan to argue, but they were directly stopped by the guards outside the castle and refused to let them in at all.
Shelly and Immel lived in a farmer's longhouse these days, weeping every day in mourning for Duren.
As a result, the mother and daughter were still crying that day when they heard the sound of horns coming from the castle. There were six low and melodious blasts in total, which heralded the arrival of distinguished guests in the castle.
Shelly asked the guards outside the house and found out that the new champion of the tournament was Ilea from the Arias family.
Shelly knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she continued to worry about the future in the room.
Duren had been the captain of the royal guard for such a long time, and he had actually saved some money, but Shelly and Immel left in a hurry this time.
Only some of the gold and silver jewelry that was easier to carry were brought out, and the rest of the house, land, etc. could only be thrown there.
Xie Li roughly calculated that the money in her hand should be enough for her and her daughter to have food and drink for the rest of their lives.
But the actual situation is not so optimistic, because they still have to pay salaries to the accompanying guards, and the most important thing is that Xie Li is worried that her orphaned and widowed mother will not be able to keep the money.
Ivan sent someone over yesterday, ostensibly to care about them and ask if they had enough money to spend, but in fact he wanted to know how much money they had with them.
And when he figures out this problem, the next step will definitely be to keep the money for himself.
Unlike her innocent daughter, Xie Li, who had lived in the royal capital for so many years, knew exactly what would happen to them if they lost their backer and happened to be rich.
She wanted to leave Elk Valley, but she didn't know who to join.
Xie Li just comes from a small family, and even if she returns to the family, she will probably still face the same situation.
Thinking of this, Shelly couldn't help but sigh again, but at this moment, the voice of the guard captain Matt suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Why are you here again? What do you want to do this time?!"
"Don't be nervous, we are here just to invite Mrs. Shelly and Miss Immel to the castle for a banquet."
After hearing this, Immel, who was originally depressed, said in surprise, "Mom, can we go back to the castle again?"
"Well, it's coming soon, we can go back soon." Shelly didn't want to disappoint her daughter, so she lied.
The conversation outside continues, "Luncheon? I think that guy Ivan must have no good intentions."
"Watch your words, Sir Matt." The visitor sneered, "If Lord Ivan hadn't taken you in, you wouldn't be wandering around now." (End of Chapter)
