Chapter 213 Strange People
Gaode’s white teeth looked a bit dazzling to the locals at this table.
Although they had some intention of letting Gaode hear it, their original intention was to persuade Gaode to retreat, and they did not want to see anyone die in vain.
According to normal circumstances, whether Gothe can listen to what they say or not, he will usually pretend not to hear them.
As a result, Gaode's response was to take the initiative to "come to the door", making their emotions suddenly caught off guard and mixed with a little embarrassment.
"That little white guy is staying here. The Viper and Rat is the largest hotel in Ellaheim." Finally, one of the locals answered.
The awkward atmosphere has eased somewhat.
“Thank you.” Gao De said with thanks.
Then, he took out a silver coin from his pocket, flicked it, and the silver coin landed on the bar accurately, spinning around for several times.
Gaode waved his hand and said to the bartender who was smiling and watching the excitement: "Add a bunch of dark beer to this table."
While speaking, he had pushed open the oak door, and his figure disappeared into the shadows.
Leaving the tavern, Gothe came to the three-story stone building on the ground.
The first floor of the stone building is a hall.
Gaode walked straight in and came to the counter.
“Are there any rooms left?”
Behind the counter is a tall and plump middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, holding a ball of wool thread and knitting clothes skillfully.
In Elahem, most of the locals have this kind of figure. Probably only by saving a little more fat can they be able to withstand the cold wind in the Dandong Snow Mountains.
Hearing Gao De's question, the middle-aged woman did not raise her head, focusing on the wool thread in her hand, "There are still rooms, what kind do you want? A full bunk room, or a single room?"
"Come to a single room." Gothe said.
The middle-aged woman finally raised her head and said, "Then I will arrange a single room for you on the second floor for 2 silver coins per night."
Gaode didn't bargain and handed over 1 gold coin.
“Let’s rent it for three nights first.”
The middle-aged woman nodded, then found a copper key from the drawer, slapped it on the counter hard, and made a crisp sound. "This is your room key, room 202, breakfast included."
As she spoke, she retrieved Gaode's 14 silver coins, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Gaode. .
Gaode did not accept it immediately, but pushed back another silver coin.
"Did a foreigner check into our hotel yesterday?" he asked.
The middle-aged woman glanced at the silver coin that Gothe pushed over, and replied expressionlessly: "No."
Gothe looked at the pair of middle-aged women who had no emotion. He opened his eyes, thought for a moment, took out two more silver coins and pushed them to the middle-aged woman.
"Is it available now?" he asked again.
"Yes," the middle-aged woman nodded, "I remembered that a young man from out of town did stay in our hotel yesterday and rented a room for three nights."
"Can you tell me which room he lives in?" Gothe asked again.
The middle-aged woman immediately became silent again.
Gothe quietly pushed two silver coins over.
“It’s a big taboo to leak guest room numbers. If word gets out, it will be difficult for me to do business.” The middle-aged woman finally said.
Gaode didn't waste any words, but directly pushed 5 more silver coins over.
Her face full of stains suddenly showed an extremely satisfied smile, she put the 10 silver coins pushed back by Gao Delong into her bag, and then said:
"Room 201, where I live You are opposite, I don't know, you should probably meet him."
"Thank you, boss." Gao De said politely without feeling that he had spent money wrongly.
He put away the four silver coins under his body, took the key to his room, and turned around neatly to go upstairs.
"Master, why was she unwilling to say it at first, but then she was willing to say it?" Walking on the stairs, a small and mini head came out of the pocket of Gaode's clothes and asked puzzledly road.
"Because money can make the world go round."
"What is money?"
"The golden, silver, and round thing just now is money."
< br>"What is money?"
Gaode knew that he would be wrong about Flora's meaning. He thought about it and answered seriously: "Money is used to buy food, rent a house, and live in it. If Lady Flora wants new clothes, she can also buy them with money.”
"Oh" Flora seemed to understand, "That money is a good thing."
"You can't say that."
"Why, is there anything bad about it?"< br>
“.It seems not.”
“Then it is a good thing.”
"Lord Flora said that."
"Mage, you are not smart." Flora said with disgust.
While talking, Gaode had already arrived at the door of Room 202, opened the door with a copper key, and walked in.
Close the door.
Gaode put down a small package he carried with him.
The package contained "Breath of the Wild."
The fourth-level rune structure cannot be worn by a first-level mage.
Gode cannot rest assured that such a precious thing is stored anywhere, so even if it is a bit cumbersome, he can only carry it with him.
Then he took out his money bag, counted it carefully, and found out his current balance of savings: 67 gold, 6 silver and 6 copper.
Sounds like good luck. Although he was sent to the dungeon of Siris Mage Tower and the Mage Prison of St. Xion City successively, because Quincy Urther’s goal has always been the rune construct, he was also sent to Didn't go and collect the money bag he was carrying.
In addition, he was released after just one night in prison, so Gao De was a prisoner for a while, but he didn't lose a penny of his money.
After counting the money, Gothe was about to take all the money back into his purse. When he raised his head, he found Flora sitting on the edge of the table nearby.
Her two calves were hanging in the air, dangling unconsciously, and her "big" eyes were looking at the shining gold coins without blinking.
The eyes are bright.
That means Gaode is very familiar.
He thought for a moment and placed a gold coin next to Flora.
“It’s for Lady Flora.”
“Sir Flora has no food for you, no house to rent to you, and no new clothes to sell you.” Although Lady Laura's eyes were shining, she did not immediately accept it.
She firmly remembered what Gothe said before.
“Because Lady Flora did something for me before,” Gothe was referring to detonating the magic circle in the rune workshop. “This is the reward for Lady Flora.”< br>
"Remuneration?"
"It is the reward for those who have given their efforts."
"Thank you, Master."
"Lord Flora, you are polite."
< br>Flora held the gold coin in both hands.
The small gold coin was like a giant dumbbell in her hand.
Heavy and big.
But Flora didn't dislike it at all, her eyes were shining.
Soon, in Gothe's envious eyes, the gold coin disappeared into thin air in Flora's hand.
Unlike what we saw in Xianxia novels in previous lives, Qi Refining monks all have several storage bags.
In this world, apart from Flora, Gothe has never seen or heard of so-called space equipment.
Although Flora's "storage space" is very small and can't even fit a chair, no matter what, this is a skill at the spatial level.
Although Flora is small, she is really capable.
After putting the money bag away, Gaode stood up. "Where to go?"
"Go and meet new friends."
QiaoQiaoQiao.
The door of the hotel is very heavy, and the sound of knocking is dull.
In just a moment, the door to Room 201 was opened.
A tall and thin young man, or teenager, appeared behind the door and looked at Gaode expressionlessly.
It was also when he saw the person in front of him that Gothe finally understood what the unfinished words of the local man in the tavern were.
After Xiaobai, it should be a face character.
This is a young man who is about sixteen or seventeen years old and extremely handsome in appearance.
It can even be said that he is the most handsome among all the various people Gaode has seen since he came to this world.
The forehead is broad, the eyebrows are dark and straight, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the facial lines are clear and strong.
The most eye-catching thing was the pair of pupils, which had a faint golden color.
"What's the matter?" The expression on the young man's face was cold, which made Gothe feel that the destination of this trip was most likely to fail.
Looking at the other party’s temperament, he shouldn’t be someone who likes to beat around the bush, so Gaude simply said bluntly, “I am the tenant opposite you. I just arrived in Ellaheim today. I heard from people in the pub earlier. Say, you are going to climb Dandong Snow Peak."
"That's right, so am I."
"Sorry, I don't want to join a team." The young man's face was expressionless and stiff. road.
"No, I'm not here to form a team with you," Gaode made a final attempt and said sincerely: "I suddenly decided to climb Dandong Snow Peak for some reasons, and I was not well prepared."
" Since you are planning to climb Dandong Snow Peak alone, you must be a mage. I would like to ask if you have mastered [Skating Skill] or [Ice Walking]. If so, can you sell me a copy of the spell formula?"< br>
“In Elaheim, official power supervision is not strict. I can add money.” Gothe gave his greatest sincerity.
"No need." The young man said, then turned around and walked into the house, closing the door behind him.
Looking at the door that was mercilessly closed, Gothe shook his head helplessly.
A little disappointed, but not angry.
After all, private trading of magic formulas has always been expressly prohibited.
Even in Elaheim, which is extremely loosely regulated, it is difficult for ordinary people to agree to trade with a stranger unless he is really short of money.
Forget it if you don’t succeed.
Gaode returned to his room.
"Why didn't he agree again? Master, didn't you give me money?" Flora asked again.
"It should be that they are not short of money." Gothe replied.
“That’s great.” Flora said with emotion.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Gaode was surprised.
I am new here, why would someone come to see me?
While thinking, he opened the door in surprise.
The young man opposite was still standing at the door with a cold face.
He said: "Here you go."
The young man handed over a piece of parchment. Gothe lowered his head blankly and saw that it turned out to be a spell formula.
[Skating].
"How much?" Gothe raised his head blankly.
"No need." The other party repeated what he just said.
Gaode now understood that when the young man said no, he meant no money?
"Dandong Xuefeng, you can't do it. Even if you learn it, it's not enough." The young man nodded towards Gaode, who was still confused. His handsome and stern face seemed to soften at this moment. Some.
"I will think it over again." Gothe said, giving the other party a lot of face.
The young man frowned, "Do you still want to challenge?"
Is it so direct? Gaode was helpless and said truthfully: "I have a reason to challenge Dandong Xuefeng, and I also have this Ability. ”
The young man who overestimated his abilities gave the most fair evaluation without any hesitation.
I haven’t even mastered [Skating Skills] and [Ice Walking]. I am obviously a novice. How could I think and dare to challenge the most difficult Dandong Snow Peak?
Sure enough, he didn’t understand anything.
Even he faced Dandong Xuefeng with absolute awe.
Although he is confident that he can do this, can the other party be the same as him?
"I understand." The young man glanced at Gaode expressionlessly, replied with his usual reply, then turned around and went back to his room.
Send away this somewhat strange young man.
Strange indeed.
Let’s call him friendly. His cold face and stiff tone of voice, which keep strangers away, seem to be nothing close to friendly.
Call him unfriendly, he is actually willing to give away a one-level spell formula for free.
This is official, but the price is more than 20 gold.
Gothe picked up the spell formula that was obviously handwritten by the young man and read it.
Compared with purchasing spell formulas from the official website, the biggest drawback of privately trading spell formulas is that the authenticity of the spell formulas cannot be guaranteed.
Especially after leaving the level of magic, the construction of spell models requires the consumption of corresponding spell potions.
The spell model is fake, and at most it is a waste of time and energy.
But if the formula of the magic potion is fake, it will kill people if you are unlucky.
"One portion of first-order ice blue butterfly powder." Gothe looked at the formula of the magic potion and studied it carefully.
The "Pharmacological Research" course that I had taken at Seris College came into play at this time.
Although Gaode cannot be allowed to verify the authenticity of the magic potion formula, it can at least allow him to understand whether the formula will cause harm to his body.
After carefully studying it several times and confirming that the magic potion formula was not harmful, Gaode felt relieved.
“I’ll take a stroll around the city tomorrow and replenish the necessary equipment for climbing Dandong Snow Peak, and then see if I can gather the main and auxiliary materials for the [Skating] spell potion”
< br>“The materials required for the [Skating Skill] magic potion are all specialties from the snowy region. It shouldn’t be a problem to get the materials together in Elaheim, and you may be able to get them at an extremely cheap price.”
Following the laws of the market, the price of any "product" is generally the cheapest in the place of production.
If you can get it all together, and spend a few more days to build the spell model of [Skating], you can set off to climb over the snow peaks of Dandong and enter the northern border.
After planning his trip to the north, Gothe went to bed with peace of mind.
After soaking in the river for a month, although he would go on the boat to rest at night, the stiff planks of the boat still made Gao De miss the soft bed.
After a night's rest, Gaode got up early the next day. After enjoying the free breakfast provided by the hotel: caviar bread, he went out to stock up.
Hiking gear is easily available.
After some bargaining, which only cost about 5 gold coins, Gaode made himself look brand new and well-armed.
Sturdy and durable goatskin hiking boots, thick and warm bearskin gloves, soft and close-fitting cashmere underwear, and cloaks made of fox fur
People rely on clothing.
With this set of equipment and a high moral appearance, at least no one can tell at a glance that he is a rookie climbing a snow mountain for the first time.
The equipment purchase went very smoothly, but the main and auxiliary materials needed for the [Skating Skill] magic potion made Gothe wander around the city for a long time.
Because there is no magic shop in Ellaheim that specifically serves mages.
So, he can only find materials one by one.
Especially the first-order ice blue butterfly powder. In the end, Gothe bought it at the home of an extremely remote local hunter under the introduction of a small shop owner.
Although it took a lot of time, luckily I got all the materials together.
Moreover, this potion material cost almost 40 gold in other places. In Elaheim, Gothe only spent 23 gold to get it.
Almost half the price.
This made Gaode feel much happier.
