(Yesterday was January 1, 2013, New Year’s Day, double, the first day of the year, the first day after the end of the year. On this memorable day celebrated by everyone, the most memorable thing I did
I just forgot to ask for a monthly pass... xd, so I’m asking for a monthly pass today! I have to make up for yesterday’s share!)
The noisy sound of the crowd came from not far ahead, and there was also a sharp and angry female voice in the middle. The slightly neighing voice was very distinctive, and there was no mistaking it: it was Sakina's voice.
There were already more people in the market, and it seemed to be the peak of trading. Therefore, even though the two stalls were only more than a hundred meters apart, the middle was blocked by the crowd, and we didn't notice the movement over there. When we squeezed past,
Only then did he see that a dozen people had gathered in front of Sakina's stall, and most of them seemed to be attracted by the excitement. Opposing Sakina were two men in blue short robes.
"That's the attire of an apprentice," Lilina touched my arm lightly, "but I can't tell whether it's an alchemy apprentice or a scholar's assistant. Both types of people are used to wearing blue short robes."
"Sakina, what's going on?" Sona quickly walked through the crowd and came to Sakina's side, asking in a low voice.
Sakina looked at the two men in front of her angrily. Only then did she notice that we had returned, so she curled her lips and said, "It seems that there was something wrong with the rhombus we sold them last month. Something happened."
If you messed up, you want me to pay for it."
Sona frowned. It seemed that this was quite a troublesome situation for them. The taller of the two young men seemed to know that Sona was the more responsible one in the two-person expedition group, so he also
No longer entangled with Sakina, he took out a small piece of something from his body and put it on the wooden table with force, making a "pop" sound: "See for yourself! This is your rhombus!"
I poked my head and took a look, and found that the so-called rhombohedral stone is somewhat similar to the shale on the earth, but it is obviously stronger, pale in color, and divided into several layers. It also has neat edges. I don’t know if it is cut or formed naturally.
Shape. This is a piece of ore the size of a fist. After hitting the wooden table, a layer of white stone powder immediately fell. The young man looked at Sona aggressively: "The purity is not enough at all! This thing destroyed both of our potions.
!”
A burst of discussion broke out in the crowd. Sona looked ugly and put the stone in her palm and squeezed it hard. The stone suddenly cracked into several pieces, revealing the black and gray content inside. Seeing this, her face also darkened.
I originally thought that I was encountering the popular story about dandies from another world who unreasonably harass and bully good women. I was ready to jump out and eliminate violence. But... I had known that the plot would not follow the mainstream route. Although these two young people
He has a bad attitude, but it seems that he really suffered a lot from the fake goods. He is the real sufferer... So I can't intervene for the time being. I can only take a look at the situation and understand what's going on. According to the past two days,
I understand. I think Sakina and Sona should not be such cunning people. So this was probably an unexpected situation where no one made a mistake, but the end result was terrible.
"I remember reminding you at that time." Sona thought for a while and finally spoke. It seemed that she was trying to recover a little bit from her own disadvantage. "When making Gelug type acid-resistant agent, it is best not to use orthoclase as the medium.
, the impurity content of orthoclase is the most unstable among several similar materials. We are just explorers, not alchemists or geomancers. We can find this kind of stone, but we cannot guarantee that the impurity content of this ore will be the same.
It meets your requirements. This was all agreed upon at the time, right?"
The shorter of the two young men spoke, and pointed at Sakina: "Then don't forget that she was the one who swore that the purity of her ore was enough, even if it was used as an acid-resistant agent, she was the one.
Why don’t you talk about what you promised yourself? Oh, and also, it’s quite surprising. You also know something about pharmacy, so you should know how much the loss will be if the pharmacy is destroyed in the last step! So
It’s a big loss, do you think we’ll just let it go?”
Lilina suddenly lay on my lap. After hearing the whole story and understanding the whole thing, she could only sigh: "The quarrel between Taobao buyers and sellers. How come this happened after not touching the computer for half a month..."
…Boss, let’s kill people and silence them.”
Now I feel more and more that taping up Lilina’s mouth before going out should be included in the code of conduct for Imperial citizens!
Sona and Sajina looked at each other in embarrassment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Then how much do you want to pay?"
The tall young man's tone was very matter-of-fact: "The total loss of all medicines is six thousand five hundred suo, plus a new batch of orthoclase. In addition, during the two months we stay in Sentu, you are not allowed to appear in the market again.
, I see you are upset."
With a "pop" sound, Sakina crushed a stone she was playing with in her hand: "Do you think this is possible?! Six thousand five hundred?! Why don't you go and grab it! And we are not allowed to show up? Do you think you can count on yourself?
Who are you?" "Just because you are selling fake goods, you should get out of here!" The tall young man looked at Sakina angrily, "Understand, even if you make trouble in front of the lord, you will probably be kicked out too!"
Sakina's face turned red, but she couldn't say anything. At this time, I felt that I should stand up, so I took a step forward and coughed twice: "Ahem, what, I heard the situation too, I
Can you chime in?"
The two young men just saw a group of people around them, but there were already a lot of onlookers around them. He probably thought that we were also watching the party, so he didn't pay attention. Of course, it was impossible to think that we were with Sona.
We were together. When he saw me speaking, the tall man was stunned: "Um, you are..."
"We are friends of these two half-dragons," I laughed dryly, but when the other party heard the word "half-dragon", there was obvious disdain on his face, and he snorted from his nose, which made me wrinkle.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "The loss of the medicine is indeed quite depressing, but you can't say it's all the fault of these two girls, right? And just in terms of compensation, forget it. You want to drive people away, isn't this a bit excessive?
?”
The two young men looked here in disbelief. Obviously they didn't expect that two half-dragons would have such a large group of friends who seemed to be completely in two worlds. Just by looking at their clothes, you can tell that we have a special composition here.
Apart from anything else, Lilina, Vanilla, and the others were still wearing the Crow God Sect's festival clothes. Those clothes seemed beyond the reach of ordinary people. But soon, their attention was attracted by something else.
Attracted: Under the leadership of Bingtis, the five-person group of protoss officers took out maces more than one meter long and looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces, especially Bingtis, who had a very kind smile: "Tell me,
A group fight or a one-on-one fight? In a group fight, a group of us beat you, and in a one-on-one fight, you pick on a group of us..." After the words fell, the five protoss gang members nodded in unison. Lin, who was usually well-behaved and sensible, actually followed suit.
Join in the fun. The pollution power of this big sister Bingtis is indeed unfathomable.
At this time, anyone with a higher IQ than our feet should see that the fundamental purpose of our group is not to break up the fight (of course, I really wanted to break up the fight at the beginning, but it was messed up by Bingtis, a gangster who is unstoppable.
). Of course, the two young people quickly shrank their necks. Lin Xue yawned and muttered: "It's really not interesting at all. Why do we have to do such an old-fashioned thing? Now, I said you two,
To be fair, it's right for you to claim compensation now, but it's a bit unreasonable to drive people away because of this. Let me give you a suggestion. How about you each take a step back, take the money and leave?"
I looked at the eldest lady in surprise. In fact, at first I thought she was going to beat the person up with an order: She couldn't do such a arrogant thing, and this guy also had a serious tendency to violence.
"Look at what I'm doing." The eldest lady rolled her eyes at me, "We have to be reasonable. People do suffer losses. With your personality, you will definitely not bully others. I have figured out what you are doing."
"Tch, why don't we fight?" Bingtis put away the murder weapon regretfully, then patted me on the shoulder: "Master, take the money."
Me: "..." Why do I suddenly feel that something is not right?
Bingtis may have also noticed that what he said was not right, and immediately twitched the corner of his mouth and added: "I said, it's time to stand up for your friends at this time, you won't really let Sajina..."
"We pay," Sona suddenly said, and then took out a stack of banknotes the size of playing cards from her bag, "This is what we should bear. Six thousand suo, this is all we have on hand, and the remaining leader
…We will make up for it after we return from the ruins next time. You can trust the half-dragon’s promise and we will do what we say.”
The tall young man shrugged, reached for the compensation, and glanced at Sona with disdain: "Tch, he's a half-dragon who talks and keeps his mouth shut, isn't he a lizard-man?"
One sentence became the trigger, and the incident that was about to end broke out again in an instant. Sakina punched the iron pile next to her, and with a loud noise, the thick iron pile was even knocked out of the corner: "You
Say it again?!"
Sakina's huge strength (under normal people's standards) is still somewhat intimidating. The two young people couldn't help but look at each other, and then took half a step back. However, it was obvious that they did not take this threat too seriously.
As more and more people gathered around them, they seemed to have found more confidence. They looked around and shrugged helplessly: "Is it interesting for you to self-hypnotize like this? Ask others and see if there is anyone other than yourself.
Several people admit the term 'half-dragon'."
Although the people watching around had nothing to do with themselves, many people murmured in low voices at this time. In this world, the word "half-dragon" has long been unrecognized. Apart from the half-dragons themselves, there are only "lizards".
"Human" is the commonly accepted name for them. No matter how much Sakina and Sona resist, they have to face the painful fact that they are an inferior race in this world.
I started thinking about how to solve this problem. Of course, violence is always the fastest solution. Lilina's plan was very straightforward: let's kill people and silence them. But to be fair, the worst thing at this time was Lilina's bad idea.
Either let Sandora enter mind control, or use her sister's curse to clear the place, or let Qianqian cause a naked run of all people... Anyway, any one of us here can make the world quiet in thirty seconds, so now I
The final point was not to get Sakina out of trouble on the spot. It was a more satisfactory solution that preserved the dignity of the two half-dragon girls.
Half-dragons are obsessed with saving face - of course as a friend, I decided to evaluate it as self-esteem that cannot be trampled on.
"Look, we don't mean to be sarcastic, it's just common sense." Seeing the reaction of the crowd around him, the tall young man just shrugged and said in a declarative tone. If according to the standards of this world, from beginning to end he
She was really telling the truth. But this truth was already an insult that went straight to the souls of the two half-dragon girls. Sakina clenched her fists hard, her eyes almost bursting with bloodshot eyes, and roared in a unique neighing voice:
"No matter how many times I have to say it, I am...a half-dragon!"
"Oh, your own superstition. That era has long passed," the short man seemed to think that Sakina just kept repeating these three words over and over again. With an impatient look on his face, he pulled his companion and prepared to leave, "Forget it.
Half-dragons are half-dragons, remember to prepare the rest of the debt, if you still want to retain some reputation, lizard."
I immediately slapped my forehead and knew it was going to be bad: You said it was finally over, why do you have to tease me one more sentence? Is fighting for the right to say the last sentence really such a great sense of accomplishment?
Sure enough, the impulsive Sakina immediately jumped out, although Sona tried to stop her. But it seemed that Sakina was much stronger than Sona, and in the end, the former blocked the way of the two men. The scene immediately became tit-for-tat.
.And he looked far more nervous than before. At this moment, there was a commotion outside the crowd. Someone shouted: "The city guards are coming!", and then the crowd automatically moved out of the way.
, a dozen tall soldiers wearing heavy armor and well-equipped equipment walked in under the leadership of an officer riding a war horse. The officer looked around and his eyes fell on two half-dragon girls: "Lizard people, you are making trouble here.
?”
"We are half-dragons!" Sakina looked at the officer stubbornly and shouted loudly.
If it were normal, Sakina would probably tolerate it even if she was called a lizard. After all, this is the situation of half-dragons in the world now. Even if she has a stubborn personality, she cannot change this fact. However, now, she seems to
Already giving up.
I sighed. At this time, Sakina and I obviously couldn't solve the problem by ourselves, so I couldn't continue to watch.
I touched Sandora's arm: "Forget it, let's prepare to clear the place..."
"Boss, wait a minute!" Lilina immediately grabbed the corner of my clothes and whispered. I turned my head in surprise and found that Lin was leaving the market without anyone noticing. Lilina explained in a low voice: "She suddenly wanted to do something
I hope we can cooperate - don't do anything, just watch quietly."
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Lin had planned: it was rare for the ten thousand-year-old boss to put forward ideas so decisively.
"You two, pack your things and come with me to the guard," the captain of the city guard on horseback pointed at Sakina with the tip of his spear, and said without doubt, and then looked at the two young men, "By the way,
You also have to go there, no matter what, you have to follow the procedures."
As soon as the guard captain finished speaking, he let out a cry of surprise because he found that his spear was held by someone: Sakina.
"Master Guan, just tell us how much you want this time. There's no need to go to so much trouble," Sakina said quietly. "You have to beat us up every time before negotiating the price. Don't you think it's a waste of time? Let's go through it."
I have to go out to work for a few days."
The guard captain narrowed his eyes: "Guard, arrest her!"
Several soldiers quickly approached Sakina, who let go of the spear in her hand, her face slightly stiff: it seemed that she had done these things bravely, and when the soldiers approached her, she immediately subconsciously pulled out her
A handy short knife.
"Look, a lizard is a lizard. She finally can't stand the laws of civilized society!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and then the guard captain laughed: "Very good, there are enough witnesses, and
The short knife in your hand, armed resistance to the law, the most dishonest lizard lady in Sentu, at this time tomorrow, you can leave this city forever, this is the law."
"Say it again...I am...a half-dragon!" It seemed that the grievance and anger suppressed in her heart could not be controlled at last. Sakina yelled at the guard captain, and then she raised her dagger and rushed towards the person closest to her.
A soldier looked like he was about to kill him. She was really strong and her whole body was heavily armored. The burly and strong male soldier was knocked to the ground by her attack. However, soon, three soldiers came from
Someone rushed over from the side and blocked Sakina's movements with a heavy shield, followed immediately by a sharp spear handed over from behind the shield: Facing the shield wall, Sakina might not care, but facing the spear, she
The scales on her body couldn't be compared with the armor, so she immediately chose to retreat and put into a defensive posture.
Sona no longer restrained herself at this time. Even though it seemed absolutely impossible to overturn the situation, she still took out her short knife and faced the guard captain: "Half-dragons will also resist!"
"Attack at will, regardless of death or injury," the guard captain said solemnly, "They have already committed a crime, there is no need to show mercy."
The crowd had gathered more and more, but the circle gradually expanded to the surroundings. Obviously, even the onlookers knew that blood might really come out at this time. No one wanted to be accidentally injured, but no one turned around and walked away: being civilized
The lizard man who had relapsed into madness after being suppressed by society's laws for too long was executed on the spot. This should be what most people at the scene wanted to see.
At this time, Sakina's exclamation suddenly came from the audience.
Faced with a numerical disadvantage, she finally couldn't dodge. A city guard scratched her arm with a spear, and bright red blood dripped onto the stone slabs of the road.
"Sakina!" Sona suddenly became nervous and jumped back to Sakina. However, just when the surrounding soldiers were about to take the opportunity to attack again, the vision caused everyone to exclaim.
The blood flowing from Sakina's body fell on the stone slab, and bursts of smoke quickly rose up, boiling like hot magma. Visible to the naked eye, the thick stone slab quickly turned into dust under the corrosion of the blood, and then boiled
The blood began to extend along a strange and straight line, and when it flowed to the center of the field, a red flash suddenly burst into the sky.
I was stunned when I heard Lilina muttering next to me: "Hey, it's a little off, but I can still see it."
"What the hell is this?" The guard captain's horse seemed to be frightened and almost knocked off its owner. The officer on the horse managed to stabilize his body and immediately shouted in surprise.
And almost at the same time, a deep dragon roar came from above the distant clouds.
I instantly understood what Lin wanted to do.
The dragon's roar lasted for a few seconds, and the guard captain's horse immediately fell down. Everyone, including Sakina and Sona, began to look at the sky in horror, and the low roar lived up to expectations again.
It resounded through the sky, quickly approached, and then...
Then I listened and drifted away.
Lilina almost jumped up and shouted in the mental connection: "She flew over!"
So a few seconds later, we listened to the two dragon roars just like rewinding the tape: they didn't fly this time.
