Chapter 142 The Wise Old Village Chief
While the villagers were still discussing countermeasures outside, in the Golden City.
Ikasi looked at the golden city in front of him and took a deep breath: "I mean, kid, are you too careless? Aren't you afraid that the villagers will take advantage of their wealth?"
Faliyah didn't speak, but the expression on her face was also worried.
"I don't rule out this possibility, but it's unlikely." Green stacked several Monas to serve as seats. "I have always been pretending to be a magic stick before, and everyone knows that I am the only one who understands this place. Even the most greedy The robber will never kill me easily before asking for information about the treasure."
Ikaxi was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be quite clever."
Faliyah frowned slightly, and glanced at Ikashi: "But the two of us don't know anything, so it doesn't matter if we are killed?"
The expression on Ikashi's face froze instantly.
Green shrugged: "Don't think about it, dig quickly. Remember, only dig the layer of gold plating on the castle wall, never enter the castle, and never touch the border of this world." Green pointed Refers to the outermost fog wall of the castle, "It will die."
Ikaxi looked at the border emitting faint light, and nodded: "Hey, I understand."
Ikashi and Faliyah picked up their pickaxes and started tapping the gold on the floor.
The two men's hand tendons were broken before, but they were simply treated, but they still couldn't use their strength, so the digging speed was not ideal.
After digging for a while, Ikasi suddenly felt something was wrong: "Hey, kid, why are we the only two digging and you are just there in a daze?"
"I'm a mage, and I rely on my brain for food." Green said confidently, "This kind of physical work should naturally be done by you!"
Ikashi's eyes widened involuntarily: "I'm picking up money now!"
"Nonsense. How can picking up money be faster than stealing it?" Green waved his hand, "I still have to think about how to deal with those villagers."
At this moment, six villagers suddenly flew out of the vortex at the same time!
"Ouch!~"
"what!"
"I (beep——)"
……
Due to the sudden change in the direction of gravity, the six people hit the floor of the Golden City like a pile of sandbags!Along with the screams of the villagers, a group of people were smashed to pieces.
But after all, they were a group of experienced old mercenaries. After a short period of confusion, everyone quickly got up in a panic.
But when the villagers saw the Golden City in front of them, even the calmest old village chief couldn't help but take a breath.
"This, this is..." After all, words are not as shocking as the actual picture!
Everyone was completely shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Everyone, do you want to rent a mine pick?" Green sat about 30 meters away from the teleportation vortex, and said to the villagers with a smile, "Five gold coins for an hour are guaranteed to be worth the money! You can also spend one hundred gold coins directly Buy the mining pick, so that you can dig gold with peace of mind."
The old village chief squatted on the ground and touched the floor.
"Really gold? Not a hallucination?"
"Don't worry, it's not an illusion." Green said with a smile, "How is it? Do you want to buy a mining pick?"
The old village chief rubbed his face hard, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.
"That...Green, right? Can you tell us where this is?"
Green: "As a part-time prophet, as long as the customer pays, I am willing to answer any questions. One thousand gold coins to answer a question, if it is a question I don't know, no money will be charged."
Green's words made the expression on the old village chief's face slightly stiff: "We don't have that much money..."
"Are you kidding?" Green looked at the old village chief strangely, "There is gold everywhere on the ground here, don't you know how to dig it?"
Hearing Green's words, the other villagers behind the old village head showed joy: "The village head..."
The old village chief waved his hands to his companions behind him, signaling them not to speak, and then continued to say to Green: "But we have already sold this place to you, and it stands to reason that this place should belong to you..."
"No, no, no. You got it wrong. I bought the land where the entrance is located, not here." Green pointed to his feet, "This place does not belong to anyone, it is an ownerless thing , so anyone can take what's here."
Green's words caused commotion among the villagers again, but the old village chief frowned instead.
Looking at the board held by Mona not far away, the old village chief said slowly: "One thousand gold coins is really too much. We really can't afford it. What do you think about using the gold here to pay off the debt?"
Green opened his mouth and was about to speak, but something suddenly occurred to him.
Green frowned slightly: "Cut~ old fox. Well, this is my question as a free gift: the gold here is indeed real! I can accept the gold as payment, but as a condition, you have to lend me a carriage. I need to send The gold is pulled into the city to be exchanged for gold coins."
A smile finally appeared on the old village chief's face: "Okay. I will lend you my carriage later, and we will also transport the gold to the city and exchange it for money."
Green shrugged: "Do you want a mining pick? You can rent or buy it."
Old village chief: "Yes, but we will use the gold here to pay off the debt."
Green frowned: "Yes. But three times the weight of gold is worth double the weight of gold coins."
The old village head: "Twice!"
Green: "Three times! No bargaining."
"Okay..." The old village chief turned his head and told a villager, "Brad, ask the people outside to bring their tools and come in to mine gold!"
"Okay!" The villagers quickly turned around and went out to call for someone.
The old village chief touched his chin and thought for a while: "Green... can I call you that?"
"of course."
"I want to ask a question: There are 52 adults and 73 children who can run and jump in our village. How much gold can we get from here and move to the village at most?"
Green looked at the old village chief in front of him with a subtle expression on his face: "You are really good at asking questions... I can't answer this question. Also, even if I can answer this question, I won't answer it before you pay. .”
"Haha~" The old village chief squinted his eyes and smiled.
Not long after, more and more villagers jumped in from outside.
After a brief period of chaos, the village chief began to arrange for manpower to mine gold - or "stripping gold" would be more appropriate.
The villagers held weapons in their hands, but neither swords nor spears were suitable tools for knocking walls. Soon the weapons in the hands of the villagers became tattered, and the mining efficiency was not ideal.But when the villagers slowly raised enough gold and replaced all the mining picks in Green's hands, the speed of mining also increased slightly.
Seeing the gold mine in hand, Green felt happy.
"Old village chief, do you really not consider buying the mining pick directly? I'll give you a discount. It only costs fifty gold coins, which is equivalent to the weight of 150 gold coins in gold. It's a good deal."
"No." The old village chief smiled like a fox, "Just rent it."
Green looked at the old village chief strangely and frowned involuntarily.so kind?Is he giving me money on purpose?
wrong!
"Are you worried that I'll run away with the gold?" Green suddenly understood what the other party was worried about.
"Yes." The old village head looked at Green with a smile, "In the fairy tale of "Golden City", because the greedy businessman coveted the gold in the Golden City, he did not leave the Golden City before dark, and was eventually left in the Golden City forever. In the Golden City. We don't know when the 'Golden City' will close."
"So unless I'm here, you don't dare to stay here for a long time?"
"Yes." The old village chief smiled and nodded, "This magical vortex appeared very strangely. No one knows when this vortex will disappear, but you seem to know."
"Old fox... Anyway, great discount for diving. One hundred gold coins, or a gold mine equivalent to three hundred gold coins, I will tell you how long it will be closed"
The old village head looked at Green, smiled and shook his head: "We are most at ease when you are here."
Green looked at the old village chief in surprise: "You don't care even if this may cause you to lose more gold coins?"
"No one doesn't like gold coins." The old village chief's eyes were full of wisdom, "But the premise is that there are life flowers!"
Green looked at the old village chief deeply: "As expected of the cunning fox Serai Dilan, he truly deserves his reputation."
Thanks to book friends: "Kurosawa White Fish", "Huitloxopetl" for their rewards.
