Chapter 5 'Fair Dealing'

No wonder Cromwell was so surprised, because Woody never rode in the manor's carriage in the past.

After all, the family crest imprinted on it is Edith, not Aleister.

Due to his pride, he never mentioned taking the Edith family's carriage. Even if they traveled together, he would be stubborn enough to wait for the carriage from his own carriage company to arrive before leaving here.

As for the money that Aunt Susan gave him, he never refused, maybe he thought it was what he deserved.

According to the guardian's regulations, Woody's parents' assets must be handed over to her for safekeeping until she becomes a minor, and will not be returned until Woody reaches adulthood.

As for Woody now, he can only curl his lips.

The previous owner was totally trying to save face and suffer the consequences.

However, considering such a withdrawn character, coupled with the fact that his father has gone away, his mother has passed away, and he has lacked family ties since he was a child, it is normal to have such extreme thoughts.

The only thing Woody is glad about now is that besides gaining memories, he has not been affected by this stubborn character.

However, extreme personality is not formed in a day or two, alas.

But when Woody thought about the herpes-like abscess and the parasitic curse taking root on his back and neck, his compassion disappeared in an instant as soon as it was born.

Licking a dog is not allowed in the house!



Regarding Palermo, the only thing Woody clearly remembers from the game is that in the near future, this port city will be completely reduced to ruins under the legendary spell "Meteor Fall", where only the undead will live.

But that was in the early and middle stages of the game, at least after the Year of Darkness.

Woody is not in a hurry. At least before the dark year comes, the world is prosperous and the shadows have not completely driven out the light.

Green Pine Alley is located in an alley in the corner of Palermo's East District. It is a market that specializes in selling flowers and potted plants. It also sells corresponding herbs. Many adventurers will sell plants and flowers brought back from the wild.

Shopkeeper in Green Pine Lane.

Therefore, if Woody wants to find the "Trial of Green Grass" formula given to him by the witcher mentor, the most likely place to find it is Green Pine Alley, apart from specialized alchemy shops and underground black markets.

In addition, the original owner of the underground black market did not have any memory of it. He only vaguely heard about such a place from his classmates. As for the location, he had no idea.

When Woody was in Asenland in his previous life, his early activities were either in overseas islands, Northland and nearby seaside port cities. He waited until the world overturned in the Southern Kingdom before setting foot in them one by one, so he was very interested in Palermo.

He didn't know much about where the undead crystals were produced, the treasure chests in the wild, or how to defeat the several team copies in Palermo. He was familiar with them.

So Green Pine Lane has become his current number one choice.

After a while, Cromwell informed Woody that the carriage was ready outside the manor and he only needed to board it.

Woody did not stay at the manor. In his memory, he still had several cousins, that is, relatives on his aunt's side.

But they all go to school or go out and we can’t see each other for the time being.

But he would definitely bump into him at the dinner party in the evening. How to deal with it then, he would have to come up with a reasonable explanation on the way.

After all, with his current character, he cannot imitate Woody's previous loneliness and gloominess at all.

Men should face everything with a smile.

How about being beaten up and then having a profound enlightenment?

Just when Woody was thinking about the explanation for the night and looking forward to the harvest in Green Pine Lane.

A black double carriage with the emblem of the Edith family branded on it.

The driver drove the car out of the iron gate of the wine estate.

Follow the gravel paved road and pass by large flower beds and exquisite white buildings.

Heading towards the dense buildings beyond the long bridge.



Today's sunshine is abundant, coupled with the gentle sea breeze, giving Palermo, which is at the turn of autumn and winter, a hint of summer.

Therefore, the girl wearing a linen short-sleeved dress does not look so out of place in the crowd, and there are not many strange looks coming her way.

Perfect!

Little Noah, who has never set foot in the east side of Palermo, only in the west side, which is what the citizens of Palermo call the "ghetto", thought of this.

The excitement in my heart overcame the fear I had felt when I came to Green Pine Lane, and a trace of rosy appeared on my skinny cheeks.

After all, her body is related to everyone’s high hopes, so you have to work hard! Noah!

She said this to herself in her heart.

When she leaves now, she still remembers those glances at her back.

There is Garro's hope, Floret's prayer, and little Sissy's blessing.

But in this city, strangeness also means that you can't trust. If you don't trust, it will be difficult to continue the transaction. If you can't trade, you will have no money.

She carefully covered the linen bag in her arms with both hands, and flexibly avoided the passers-by. She needed money now.

What is in her arms is her hope.

She seemed to see the sister lying on the broken wooden bed again, who she had always thought was omnipotent since she was a child.

It was she who had always protected them, allowing these children, whose average age was no more than eight years old, to still be free in the chaotic civilian area.

However, this figure fell down.

She didn't know until a few days ago.

Sister, she will be like them.

Just as weak, just as powerless.

This is why she came to Green Pine Lane today even without telling her sister.

"Goddess of Life bless me. I hope everything goes well today and my sister's injury can recover smoothly."

Noah prayed silently in his heart.

In Asenland, the glory of the three human gods is everywhere.

Clodia, the goddess of life, is one of them, and her followers range from ragged poor people to kings who number more than ten thousand people.

It is inevitable for everyone to worship and revere Him from the bottom of their hearts.

However, when the dawn of the sea level gradually moved directly above, gradually falling towards the earth.

Seeing that several of the herbs she had placed were still not sold, Noah was a little panicked.

She started to lower the price. After the price reduction, although more people asked, they seemed to have noticed something, so they just shook their heads, put down the herbs and left.

One, two, three.

As Noah's stall gradually became deserted, no one showed any interest.

She was already a little helpless, but the price could no longer drop.

Because she knows that no matter how low it is, it will be useless.

The lowest level, a seven-day course of healing potion costs two gold coins.

It is equivalent to 20 silver coins.

These strains are "Heliphora" that can be used medicinally.

The herbal medicine book given to her by her sister said that Helium is often used in matters between men and women, and can effectively increase men's time and women's pleasure.

In the market, each plant can be exchanged for at least 4 silver coins. She picked eight plants. If she only sells one plant for two silver coins, she will never be able to buy the healing potion.

But if they continue to wait here, if they really have no desire to buy... wouldn't my sister...

can not be like this!

Noah's eyes were slightly red, and she seemed to be able to see the people waiting for her return at home, as well as her sister lying on the hospital bed.

She knew there wasn't much time left for her.

She began to scan the surrounding crowd, looking for buyers.

She wanted to take the initiative this time. Even if the price was lower, as long as she could get 20 silver coins, she would accept it.

Soon, a young man who was younger than his sister, wearing a well-fitting black long-sleeved coat with a white handmade shirt underneath. Although he looked relatively immature, but still noble, appeared in Noah's field of vision.

middle.

In fact, he had been paid attention to by Noah for a long time. This noble boy arrived at Green Pine Lane not long after Noah arrived.

Like her, we stayed for a long time.

I spend a lot of money. Basically, whenever I decide to enter a store, I will always bring something with me and I will never leave empty-handed.

This kind of person, at first glance, looks young and wealthy.

It seems the easiest to start with and the easiest to convince!

Thinking of this, Noah no longer hesitated and carefully put away the "Heliphylla".

Passing through the passing crowds and carriages, he rushed to the young man who exuded an aristocratic temperament.

Using the words he had rehearsed countless times in his mind, he whispered.

"Master, would you like to buy the "Heliphylla"? It is fresh and intact and has just been picked not long ago. The effect can be maximized and I guarantee you will have a pleasant night tonight."

Noah's words came out like a barrage of words, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

The medicinal effects of herbal medicines are also the reason why she does not actively promote them.

But for her sister, she is willing to try anything.

Sure enough, it seemed that his words had an effect. The young man took away a palm-length snake plant from her arms and held it in his hand for a closer look.

Noah also struck while the iron was hot.

"Master, you only need 20 silver coins. Eight Heliums originally priced at 4 silver coins will be sold to you in a package. If you want to try buying them individually, three silver coins will do."

Noah has given up.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the purple snaketail in the young man's hand was returned to Noah's arms.

"It's a pity it's false."

The voice is cold and devoid of any emotion.

"What?"

Now Noah couldn't help it any longer and looked up at the boy with questioning eyes.

"How could it be fake? Impossible!"

The young man with an aristocratic temperament smiled, loosened the buttons on his wrists and sleeves, glanced at the sky and said.

"I also see that you have been selling here for more than three hours. Logically speaking, Heliotrope is a relatively popular herbal medicine. There is no way there will be no business at all - and your price is so cheap.

.”

He spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Actually, you know it in your heart, but you just don't dare to think about it."

"Look, if it's Helium, then there must be parasitic vines hidden at the bottom that look like snake cores. Although your herb looks like Helium, it's completely different inside. It's not Helium at all, but "Snake".

Pandan".

"Yes...I'm sorry...I'm sorry"

After hearing the aristocratic young man's well-founded analysis, Noah couldn't bear it any longer.

The emotions that had been accumulated for the whole day poured out like a broken dam, and big tears fell from the corners of my eyes.

She sobbed softly.

Emotions such as grievance, annoyance, self-blame, and unwillingness were intertwined in Noah's young body.

She lowered her head and apologized to the young man in front of her for her behavior, then turned around and left this sad place.

But before she took half a step, she felt a big hand holding her hand.

She subconsciously tried hard to break away. Her sister had taught her and little Cixi since they were young.

To strengthen yourself and love yourself, you must never become like the women in the alleys of the dark streets, willing to fall into obscurity.

She has always regarded her sister as her idol, but this time...

Thinking of this, her resistance became weaker, just when she was so confused that she didn't know how to make a choice.

The young man had already let go, and there were already two bright gold coins in his hands, imprinted with flowers and double swords.

Then, the boy's unchanging voice reached his ears.

"Although I don't want to buy your eight fake Helium plants, I want you to take me to the place where you picked these herbs. I want to see them there."

"A fair deal, right?"

After hearing this, Noah finally raised his head, holding the two gold coins in his hand, and looked at the young man with a sincere face.

Regardless of the tears falling down his cheeks, he nodded vigorously.
