Chapter 13 13 Psychological Expectations Are Not Low Enough

Chapter 13 13. Psychological expectations are not low enough

Lu Yu returned to the grain store again and asked about the servant transaction.

The grain store owner was stunned for a while, confused as he clicked the information revealed in Lu Yu's extremely stiff voice.

"Servant trade, if it is a ceremonial ceremony for exchanging servants between nobles, then you only need to find a gentleman who is also a noble to negotiate."

"Guest, you are putting me in a difficult situation this time. The specific details of the servant transaction are not something that a small shop owner like me, who runs a shop not far from the border, can know. There are no noble people in my family."

Lu Yu choked, and found that he had made a mistake in his wording.

"Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue. I wanted to ask if there is a place where I can buy slaves nearby."

"It turns out that it's not a coincidence that the guests have arrived. Not long ago, a large number of slaves were transported back from near the border and were sold nearby."

"But in the final analysis, this town serves adventurers and merchants coming and going. Most of them have no need to buy slaves."

"So the slave caravan only stayed here for less than a day before heading towards the royal city."

"If the customer really wants to buy slaves, I still recommend that you go near the royal city. There is sufficient supply there, there are more races to choose from, and it is not easy to be cheated."

Lu Yu asked: "How far is it from the royal city?"

"With the average person's journey, it will take at least nine to twelve days and nights."

"I suggest that customers consider renting mounts."

"A mount with good stamina and fast speed can reach the royal city in less than a day... Of course, it costs money."

"If you're not in a hurry and don't want to get to the royal city within one day, you can wait on the main road outside the town."

"Pay some money to the merchants who come and go, and they are willing to make room for you on their carriages."

Taking out a few copper coins and handing them to the grain store owner, Lu Yu left the grain store thoughtfully.

Under the guidance of passers-by, Lu Yu first found a place to rent mounts.

Hearing that Lu Yu was going to the royal city, the other party smiled and led Lu Yu to the yard where the horses were kept.

Lu Yu, who was originally a little excited, was disappointed when he saw the mount running away in front of him.

In one sentence... My Little Ponies all come together.

The employees at the rental house didn't notice Lu Yu's expression at all, and were still enthusiastically introducing his horses to Lu Yu.

While listening to the introduction, Lu Yu inadvertently tilted the backpack behind him slightly so that Lulutis could see the row of rainbow ponies through the holes.

"Let me think about it, do you think these horses are not unique enough?"

Lulutis has finally figured out Lu Yu's pulse.

When exchanging knowledge before, she knew that there were horses in Lu Yu's world.

When Lu Yu came here, he was expecting some kind of strange monster to become his mount.

"Didn't you say that there are unicorns, griffins, and domesticated giant harpies?"

"I'm talking about the Solon Empire where I am." Lulutis corrected, "It would be nice to have some mixed-race horses in a small and remote place like this."

"If they can be mixed like this, most of them are probably inferior horses. Only one color is left to attract attention, so I think the experience will be similar no matter who you choose."

Lu Yu was speechless.

Since they were all rainbow ponies, Lu Yu had no choice but to choose a black horse that was said to have griffin blood.

Since Lu Yu was not a citizen of the Kingdom of Yas, nor was he a famous local adventurer, nor was he even named in the Adventurer's Guild, the rules for leasing were very strict.

Lu Yu needs to pay the full price of the horse, then receive a lease note, and after arriving in the royal city, find the corresponding chamber of commerce to redeem the pledged money with the horse.

One silver coin, this was the price offered to Lu Yu by the leasing agency, not including the rental amount.

Lu Yu left the rental house without looking back.

He didn't know much about the rental price of the mount, but he was simply persuaded to leave by the price.

According to his observation, the silver coins that White Wolf found for them were completely different from the silver coins in Naka's relics and the silver coins on the earl's eldest son.

If this silver coin is not a circulating silver coin in the Kingdom of Yas, then obviously you need to exchange or smelt it if you want to use these silver coins.

Once losses occur, there will be very little left of these forty-six silver coins.

Poverty made Lu Yu rational.

There is only option two.

Lu Yu came to the main road outside the town, and soon he found that there were many people waiting for the bus who had the same idea as him.

Some of them are adventurers who smell like drunk and return with a full load.

Some of them were ordinary people, holding the things exchanged with the adventurers and looking around carefully.

Others were people who looked very bad and were obviously injured.

In the chat among this group of people, Lu Yu learned what happened to those people who looked very bad.

Earl Nott's eldest son, the unlucky guy killed by Lulutis, was Earl Nott's most valued heir.

At a time when neither the second son nor the youngest son had the ability to inherit the title, the disappearance of the eldest son made Earl Nott extremely anxious.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no point in being anxious.

There has been no news for a whole winter, and there is a lot of misfortune.

The five silver coins bounty on his son's whereabouts prompted a large number of low-level adventurers to flock here, hoping to gain something by trying their luck.

However, the monsters and beasts in the mountains and forests have been suppressed all winter. At this time, the snow melts and they are in an active state.

Therefore, most of the adventurer teams that entered the forest and continued to go deeper today suffered casualties.

A steel-level adventurer team was even killed and annihilated, and the reason was simply because they mistakenly entered the battle zone between the forest banshees and the slime group.

There was no convoy heading to the capital of the Kingdom of Yas, but there was a convoy rushing from a distance in the sunset.

Someone was sharp-eyed and immediately warned the people on both sides of the road: "Looking at this, it's a noble, let's avoid it."

The road is so wide, and we have to avoid it?

Of course, Lu Yu thought so, but his body was honest and slid back.

Not only did he shun back, he also stayed farther away than others.

Three knights in helmets and armor and silver-white clothes galloped into the town.

The hair of unknown animals fluttered on their helmets, making them look like a cock with high morale.

After a while, more than a dozen knights dressed in the same way appeared in everyone's sight, surrounded by several luxuriously decorated carriages.

The knight on the horse looked down at the people on both sides of the road with a disdainful expression.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a fruit core flew out.

A drunk adventurer did not react in time and was hit in the face.

He subconsciously drew his weapon, but was stopped by his companion.

"Don't be crazy, do you know what you are doing?"

"Put it away quickly, if they are serious, you will inevitably be dragged to perform in the name of "competition" by them."

It was too late, the sound of drawing swords here had alarmed the knights on the horse, and the three carriages also slowly stopped because of the knight team.

"Their horses are not mixed-blood, but they are much better than the horses in the rental office just now."

Lulutis only said one sentence, and was interrupted by what happened not far away.

"Disrespecting the lord and the lord's guests, and even drawing weapons..."

"It's just a black iron-level adventurer, but it's very arrogant."

The knight on the horse turned over and dismounted, slowly approaching the adventurer group.

The drunk adventurer woke up completely. He was sweating all over and couldn't speak a complete sentence.

His companions pressed his head and apologized repeatedly in the direction of the carriage, saying that they had no intention of offending him.

Their humble attitude did not have any good effect. The lance and axe in the knight's hand began to shine.

"Enchanted weapons." Lulutis said, "Another inferior enchantment... The grade is really low."

Lu Yu had no idea about the grade of enchantment. He couldn't help but feel indignant when he saw the adventurers kneeling on the ground in front of him.

When Lulutis was revising his script, he said that the identity of a noble could save him a lot of trouble and he could get many unimaginable preferential treatments in many countries.

The nobles broke into his vision in this way, and he witnessed a group of adventurers who should have returned home happily and could only beg for a way to live...

Is this the role he wants to play?

Can he get into the play?

Just as the cavalry's enchanted weapons were about to be raised high, a light male voice came from the carriage, stopping the massacre that was about to begin.

"Since you have apologized, I will forgive you."

"Don't forget that you are still within the territory of Earl Nott. No matter how free the adventurers are, they are still living in my father's territory."

As he said that, something hit the head of the big man who was hit by the fruit core just now at a very fast speed.

It was not a hidden weapon, but a fruit.

"This is a reward for you, take it and eat it."

"Remember, this will not happen again next time."

The carriage started again, and when all the knights were far away, the adventurer who was kneeling on the ground stood up tremblingly.

Lu Yu glanced at the people nearby.

Unfortunately, except for those who were adventurers, ordinary people had no feeling about this scene, but were glad that the merchant caravan just arrived and they could finally get on the car.

Some adventurers wanted to curse, but their companions still subconsciously blocked his mouth.

"What are you blocking? What a bullshit earl. His territory is about to be lost. Why are you so arrogant!"

"Can't you keep your voice down? There might be a magician in the caravan." The person who advised him was crying, afraid of being implicated.

Following the team, Lu Yu came to the leader of the merchant caravan, found the caravan heading to the royal city, paid 79 copper coins, and got a carpooling position.

After the caravan slowly set off, Lu Yu reviewed the scene that had just happened in his mind.

"Lulutis, is this what nobles like?"

"There are good people and bad people." Lulutis, "I have dealt with bad people and fools the most since I can remember."

"Today's situation is not the worst. I suggest that you lower your psychological expectations of the nobles."
