Chapter 18: tip

Lan Ya rubbed her red and swollen eyes, sobbing softly.

Linge comforted: "Don't worry too much, those gold coins are useless in my world anyway."

"But, but... oh, not only can I not defeat the spiders outside the city, I can't even do such trivial things as helping you keep the gold coins." Lanya still couldn't stop her tears.

Linger was surprised: "Have you gone to the spider cave outside the city?"

Lan Ya nodded: "I know you don't want to fight, so I want to solve the registration entrustment alone, but there are too many spiders, even if I kill one, I can't collect its fangs."

Ringer asked again: "When did you find out that the gold coins were missing?"

"During breakfast."

"Have you ever met any strange people after you went out in the morning?"

Lan Ya thought for a while and answered no.

"And have you ever taken off your hat except when paying the bill?"

Lanya shook her head again.

"What about when you slept last night?"

"No, I was meditating last night."

Linger pondered: "So, the prisoner did it yesterday. After you separated from me yesterday, where did you go? Did you meet any strange people? Or strange things?"

Lan Ya showed a thoughtful expression, and whispered: "After I separated from you yesterday, I went to the magic restaurant in the west city to eat. At that time, I took out the money bag once, and then I went out of the city to the spider cave..."

"Yes, you may have been targeted at that time. When you were out of the city, did you feel that someone was following you?"

"No…"

"Did you take off your hat when you were out of town?"

Lan Ya suddenly remembered something, and said: "I remembered, when I was escaping from the spider cave yesterday, the hat was blown away by the spider silk once, maybe it fell out at that time."

Lan Ya's expression fell down: "If that's the case, someone might have already picked it up. They promised to keep the gold coins for you, but they lost them in just one day. I..."

Lan Ya raised her head abruptly, with determination in her tearful eyes.

"I promise you, I will be responsible, I will work hard to earn money, and return these gold coins to you, but it may take a long time, please trust me and give me some time."

Linger said, "Actually, you don't need to..."

Lan Ya was extremely firm: "No, I must pay it back."

Seeing this, Linge could only agree: "Okay, I believe you, but you don't have to worry, just pay it slowly, and I won't charge you any interest."

After making up her mind to pay off her debts, Lanya's mood became much more stable, and Linge made another cup of "mimosa" for her.

It’s quick and easy to make with just champagne and fresh orange juice, and if you don’t have champagne, you can use other sparkling wines, or even sparkling water for a non-alcoholic version.

The rich bubbles dilute the sweetness of the orange juice and increase the fun of drinking. Drinking this should make her happier.

Looking at the bright yellow drink in front of her, the gentle color and the bubbles in it aroused Lanya's interest.

Carefully took a sip, the sweet and refreshing taste immediately captured her heart, and the bubbles in the wine kept hitting her soft tongue and mouth, bringing a different kind of fun and making her temporarily forget all unpleasantness.

She raised her head, her light purple eyes shone with a moving luster.

Elise's teasing voice came from the side: "With your ability, if you want to earn 1000+ gold coins, I don't know how long you will have to wait. I think you might as well pay him with meat. With your beauty, you can offer him a high price~"

Lan Ya's face immediately flushed red: "What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of meat... How could you do such a thing!"

Ringer also frowned and said, "Elise, don't make such an excessive joke, how could I do that to a little girl, you treat me as a pervert?"

"You are a pervert," Elise said, "and Castalon is not the earth. Girls here can marry at the age of fourteen. The nobles in the city don't know how many wives they have. No matter how you look at it, Isn't she fourteen years old?"

Lan Ya blushed and argued: "Who is the little girl? I'm already eighteen years old!"

When he spoke, he deliberately puffed out his chest, as if he wanted to prove something, but the underdeveloped chest was really not convincing.

Linge stared at her in surprise: "Are you eighteen?"

No matter how you look at it, she is much younger than eighteen years old. Is it because of malnutrition caused by long-term starvation? Or is she lying about her age?

Linger's eyes made Lanya even more unconvinced.

"Isn't it different?"

It doesn't look like anywhere, okay?

No matter what the reason is, Ringer finds it hard to believe that she is eighteen years old.

At this time, an old voice came from the side of the wine table: "It's really delicious wine. The taste is soft and long, with endless aftertaste. It reminds me of many things. It is worthy of being called meditation."

It turned out that it was the gray-robed old man who had entered the store earlier, and after drinking the meditation prepared by Ringer, he let out a sound of admiration.

The old man turned his head and looked at Ringo at the bar with deep and mysterious eyes.

"Little brother, I see you are young, where did you learn such a magical blending technique? Are you an alchemist?"

"Alchemy?" Ringer smiled, "I don't understand that kind of thing, I only know how to mix drinks. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

The old man smiled and said, "If you know alchemy, maybe the wine you concoct will be more delicious."

The old man stood up, picked up his staff, and looked around the shop.

"It's a nice tavern, I will come again next time."

The end of the staff was lightly tapped on the floor, and at the same time as the knock sounded, several gold coins mixed with a blue gemstone fell from Ringer's eyes and collided with the bar counter, making a crisp sound.

"Drink money and tip."

After leaving these words, the old man walked out of the bar slowly.

Ringer picked up the blue gemstone from the gold coin. It was shaped like a small shield, only 4 cm long and 2 cm thick, with soft lines and beautiful color. strength.

This is the tip left by the other party.

"Lanya, how much can this gem be sold for?"

Lan Ya stared at the gemstone in his hand and said in surprise: "I don't know, but I can feel that there is a lot of magic power in it. Jewelry stores don't sell such things, not even magic gemstones in magic equipment stores. Enormous magical power."

"Isn't that very valuable?"

Lan Ya nodded blankly: "Yes, but don't you want to be a magician? If you have the magic support of this gem, you can skip the step of saving magic power and use magic easily. So I suggest keeping it , with it, maybe we can complete the registration trial task."

Speaking of the latter, Lan Ya's eyes couldn't help but light up, as if she saw the hope of completing the task.

At this time, Elise came over, glanced at the gemstone in Ringer's hand and said: "What a sinister old man, this gemstone has his spiritual imprint on it, as long as you carry it, he can perceive your emotions location, I don’t know what to do.”
