"Quenna, Rosa Barton, Dylan?" Renn wrote down their names.
"Looking at your attire, you are also an adventurer?" Kunna looked at Ren and asked curiously, "Are you also an archer?"
"Yes!" Since the other party mistakenly thought that he was an adventurer, Renn of course nodded in recognition.
If you say that you are an ordinary person, the other party may have other ideas.
"Excuse me, did you go into the desert to do the mission like us, or did you just come back from the desert?" Kunna asked.
"I came back from the desert and was about to leave!"
"Then you must know something about the terrain ahead!" Kunna asked in surprise, "How long will it take us to go to the sandworm territory? Is there any water on the road?"
Ren told the truth: "Go west from here, and you can reach the oasis in about half a month's walk. There are water pools, seabuckthorn forests and many animals there, where you can supply supplies. Then go south and you can enter the sandworm territory."
"Are you in a hurry to leave the desert? Can you be our guide and take us to the sandworm territory?" Kunna said, "When we hunt the sandworms and return to Storm City to hand in the mission, how about giving you a share of the bounty?
"
Faced with the invitation, Renn decisively refused: "I'm sorry! I can't go with you."
Just kidding! After finally walking out of the Sand Sea of Despair, I already have hope of leaving the desert. Why should I accompany you strangers to go back? What if you return to the Sand Sea of Despair and have evil intentions?
Seeing his refusal, Kunna was disappointed but not surprised.
He turned around and took the crocodile skin water bottle handed over by Barton, and said to Ren: "In that case, we can't force it! We are still going to the sandworm territory, can we make an excessive request?"
"you say!"
"There is still such a long journey ahead, and we are in a dilemma without water. Can we discuss selling this jug of water to us?" Kunna said.
Selling water? Renn has plenty of water. He thought that even if he left the desert and went to a city where humans live in another world, he would have to spend money. He couldn't miss this opportunity, so he nodded and replied: "Of course! As long as the price is fair, I will be happy to sell this kettle."
, including all the water inside, I’ll sell it to you.”
The crocodile skin kettle is quite big. I can save some on the road and barely survive to the oasis. Kunna thought about it carefully and said to Ren: "In this way, I bought this kettle at ten times the market price, including the water in it, for one Nange."
How about Lysian silver coins?”
"A Nangris silver coin?" Ren lowered his head and thought, and saw Kunna take out a money bag from her arms, take out a silver coin from it, throw it over, and reach out to catch it.
If you look closely, you will see that it is indeed made of silver. It has a figure wearing a king's hat and the words "Nangris Kingdom" on the side.
It seems that these people are from a country called Nangris.
"Is it a deal?" Kunna looked at him and asked.
Renn looked at the silver coins in her hand, then at her purse, thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Not enough!"
Kunna frowned when she heard this: "Then how much do you want?"
"All of them!" Ren said, pointing to her purse, "I want them all!"
"Are you crazy?" Behind Barton and Dylan, their eyes widened, they took a step forward and shouted in disbelief, "This jug of water is not even full, but one silver coin has already made a lot of money! You know what Kunna is doing?
How much does the bag contain? I drink the most expensive wine every day in Storm City, and I can’t even finish it for two months!”
"Friend, your asking price is too harsh!" Kunna said, "Two silver coins, two silver coins at most!"
"All, or return the kettle to me." Ren extended his hand, "Things are rare and valuable, and water is life in the desert."
"This is robbery!" Barton said anxiously.
"You can keep going without drinking water, or you can go back the same way and resupply before coming back." Ren found that the three people had no intention of falling out with him, and they spoke very forcefully, "This is how business is done, if you agree, the deal will be done, if you don't agree, the deal will be done.
Just shoot and break up."
Seeing Ren step forward with the intention of taking back the kettle, Kunna had the urge to shoot him with a bow.
How could anyone be so open-minded? No one would believe a pot of water sold for such a price.
But the other party helped him. The Rosa family had clear grievances, and it was impossible to attack those who were kind to him. The task of hunting sandworms could not be delayed, as it was related to his career advancement.
Without water, I might die of thirst before reaching the sandworm territory.
After thinking about it, knowing that the other party was extorting, I could only grit my teeth and say: "Okay! I'll give you the money and keep the kettle!"
"Quenna!!" When Barton and Dylan heard this, they looked at her in disbelief. No matter how rich she was, she would lose money by exchanging a bag of money for a pot of water.
"Go on!" Kunna threw the money bag towards Ren and said to him loudly, "This is because you gave us water just now and you were kind to us. You could have become a friend of our Rosa family. Since you chose money
, the kettle belongs to us, and we will be clean from now on. Next time we meet, we'd better behave ourselves, we are not always so easy to talk to!"
"I thought you were a good person, but I was mistaken!" Seeing Kunna pick up the kettle and move forward, Barton immediately followed, turned to Ren and shook his head.
Dylan was also disappointed to keep up.
Renn held the heavy bag of money, but he didn't expect that the other party actually agreed.
He didn't care what they said. He didn't care about friends of the Rosa family. It didn't matter whether he was a good person or not. Survival came first for him.
However, after taking so much money from them, I thought about it and turned around and said, "There is a circular sea-buckthorn forest over there at the oasis. There is a basement in the middle of the forest. It is very safe. If necessary, you can use it as a temporary shelter."
Kunna, Barton, and Dylan looked at each other and wrote down this sentence.
They headed west, Renn headed east, turned their backs to each other and quickly disappeared from each other's sight.
Counting the money bag, there were a total of 50 silver coins and 69 copper coins of the Kingdom of Nangris.
Renn didn't know the prices of things in this world. The other party said that the money was enough to drink the most expensive wine for more than two months, so that he would not deceive himself.
Put the money in your virtual backpack and continue on your way.
Knowing that the way out of the desert is ahead, I feel even more energetic and eager to get out as soon as possible.
Next, continue eastward, walking on the endless yellow sand terrain.
On about the fifth day, I accidentally discovered a camel squatting on the ground.
The camel has a rein and a saddle, and it also carries many water bottles and bags.
I wonder if this is the lost camel of Kunna and the others, right?
As he approached, the camel immediately got up and moved away, preventing him from getting closer.
Ren thought for a moment and took out some sea buckthorn fruits from his virtual backpack to lure him.
The camel was indeed hungry. After a moment of hesitation, the camel came over and ate the fruit fed by Ren.
Ren took the opportunity to grab the reins, turned over and sat on its back.
This camel was quite docile. When Ren fed it, it obediently carried him eastward.
It doesn't even need Ren to guide it, it is very familiar with the road.
