Chapter 230 229. The deal with the jar
One night later, Lan En once again saw the rocky shoal protruding from the water surface in the central basin of Longquan River.
This time he was sure that he had received a telepathic communication similar to the cone-shaped crystal Margarita gave him.
That's why other people can't hear it, so the water of Longquanchuan can't cover it up.
Lan struggled to dock the boat at the edge of the shallows.
"Huh - the rapids are not as difficult as the boat on the inner lake."
Turning over and jumping, Lan stepped on the wet rocks on the shoal. He went straight to the big jar that seemed to have drifted here with the current.
The jar is made of clay, and the mouth of the jar is covered with a wooden lid.
When Lan En walked in slowly, the wooden lid suddenly opened, and a very strange, even scary hand stretched out.
Lan En's footsteps couldn't help but pause on guard. He didn't continue to approach cautiously until he saw that there was no unnecessary movement in the hand.
It was an arm with a skeleton close to that of a human, but the skin and flesh resembled those of a squid, slug or other creature.
This palm is as big as half the mouth of a jar when it is spread out. It is completely unimaginable how the main body of the arm can be shrunk into this jar.
“Wow.”
Lan En admired, there are so many strange things in Ashina.
“You want to do business with me?”
The witcher asked tentatively, and the jar seemed to become more and more excited at his approach. It even swayed slightly, and the shaking sounds of the clay jar, rocks, and wooden lids were endless.
"Yes, yes, guest! As long as you give me those scales, I can give you everything in exchange!"
Lan En also doesn't know that this jar is in Wei There are some legends about the famous area, but from what he means, it seems to be a simple transaction.
Although if the treasure carp scales are taken back, the demon hunter should make a lot of money, but compared to the goods that this supernatural creature can exchange
Anyway, Lan En feels that supernatural creatures Collections of living things are a bit more valuable.
Money, you can make it at any time.
Anyway, for him, as long as the money is available, there is no possibility of shortage of the magic package produced by Aretusa.
Don’t even look at the relationship between the dean and him?
"If you want to do business, why don't you let people see the goods?"
Lan En crossed his arms and said to the jar very critically.
The guy in the jar shook even more. Because wanting to see the goods means there is a willingness to trade.
"It's easy to say, guest. It's all easy to say!"
Then that scary arm took out the products one by one and showed them to Lan En.
There are strange pills wrapped in paper, red gourds, scrolls and other things.
Lan En looked at these unfamiliar things, and the people in the jar introduced them to him one by one.
But after listening to it once, the witcher was only interested in two of them.
"'God Eater'? Why is the pill called this name? Is it really as effective as you say?"
Lan asked, pointing to the pill wrapped in paper.
The guy in the jar was laughing, and his tone sounded arrogant. Just like a nobleman.
“It’s genuine, guest. One stone is a life. It doesn’t matter if you are beheaded, broken, or have lost your blood lineage. As long as you still have breath, ‘God Eater’ can restore people to their full health.”
"This is made of grass and trees that grow in Ashina's extremely ancient place. Those grass and trees attract the little gods to come, and therefore receive the gods' favor. Taking this pill can be said to be eating God’s grace!”
Lan En nodded slightly. He now has some understanding of the concept of gods because of his contact with the lady in the lake.
But Japan’s concept of ‘gods’ is different, because of the Shinto concept of ‘animism’, even monsters and plant elves are among the gods in Japan.
“That’s a really precious pill.”
“Of course.” The guy in the jar was extremely happy and shook the jar loudly.
"This is not only precious, it is already a masterpiece! You have to know that since the dragon took root in this land, the little gods have disappeared without a trace."
Caught the keyword in his ears, Lan En's eyebrows then raised. "Did you just say, Shenlong?"
How come I can meet dragons wherever I go!
[Descendants of the Dragon] Brings BUFF, right? ?
Fortunately, Lan En had already sensed that this world was somewhat unusual, so the situation was not affected by this.
"Yes, yes, guest. The foreign noble, the foreign dragon. After His arrival, where did the local little gods go? Hehe, hehehe! "
The guy in the jar spoke in a low and soothing tone, as if telling a horror story, with a sinister smile that contained malicious intent.
He did not want to say anything clearly, but just used his tone to guide the listener's reverie into the depths of darkness.
Lan En was not afraid, but he also frowned and looked at the pill that could represent 'a life'.
"Eat God" probably doesn't mean "eating God's favor". It means "eating God's corpse", right?
This pill is made from the ‘corpse of God’. So where has the ‘life of God’ gone?
This foreign dragon does not sound like a good person.
Immediately, Lan En sneered.
He and this dragon probably won't even have a chance to meet. There is no point in speculating about him.
Ashina will eventually be unified by the inner government.
If this is an evil dragon similar to that in ancient novels, then if it comes out to harm people in the future, it will naturally be the inner government that unified Japan that takes action.
With great power comes great responsibility.
"What about this? "Floating Boat Ferry"? Selling it with just a name?"
Lan En moved his fingers, pointed at the last bundle of scrolls, and asked the jar.
"This is a sword technique."
"Sword technique?"
"Yes, guest. This is a move that relies on flowing movements and high frequency of attacks to defeat the enemy. It's a powerful and beautiful sword skill!"
As soon as these words came out, Lan En's originally critical eyes suddenly became firm.
If you want to say that it is powerful, then I guess I have to hesitate a bit in order to concentrate on the next [Wei Mingren].
But you want to say that it is handsome and beautiful
“Let’s talk about the price!”
Lan quickly dug into the alchemy leather bag on his back waist.
"Ah, what a generous guest! [God Eater] only requires one precious carp scale, and [Floating Boat Ferry] requires five."
As the price was reported, Hunter The devil's expression suddenly dropped.
A treasure carp scale can be sold to Temeria at the price of jewelry, which can basically get 500 orens. Six coins equals three thousand!
So expensive!
"Boss, I think your price is unreasonable."
"Eh?"
The guy in the forum seems to have never met anyone who haggles when buying something. , he was a little confused for a moment.
"How. How do you say it?"
"Look. Our transaction relies on the scale of precious carp, and the smallest unit is one. [God Eater] is priced at one by you, which means you regard it as A benchmark of value. Since it is a benchmark, I have nothing to argue with. After all, you are the one who sets the price. But."
"[Floating Boat Ferry] is only a swordsmanship, and [God-Eating] is the second. Damn it! Even if there is a difference in value, it’s definitely not five times greater!”
“So, boss, your [Floating Boat Ferry] pricing is definitely unreasonable!”
Lan En took a step forward, grabbed the opponent's big hand that had a texture similar to that of squid, and spoke sincerely.
The big hand seemed to be restrained by the demon hunter, and it was frozen and did not dare to move.
