Chapter 2687 Prodigal

The old man was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to recover. He scratched his head and murmured, "That's not right. I remembered to lock the door."

Although Taylor is older, he is not confused, and as long as he does not overdose, the more he drinks, the more sober he becomes. Since he said he locked the door, he must have locked the door. So, why did the hive appear in Barbara's hands, and how did the door get locked? opened?

I subconsciously looked at Barbara, who was looking around and whistling with her hands behind her back.

Okay, it turns out that I opened the door to the storage room because of greed.

I turned around with a half-smile, stretched out my hand, and said, "Where's the lock?"

"Lock? What lock?" Barbara blinked, looking innocent but actually pretending to be dumbfounded.

"Humph" I sneered twice: "Do you still want to eat honey?"

Barbara's cat eyes widened, and the dangerous aura of a feline suddenly burst out. She raised her nose and hesitated for a long time. Seeing that I was not afraid at all, she finally softened and stretched out her hand weakly. He put it in his pocket and took out a handful of broken metal objects.

This lock, which was made of high-grade stainless steel, was, as expected, broken into parts by Barbara's claws.

The whole process was simple and crude, without any sloppiness. No wonder even the old man didn't notice anything unusual. He didn't even look for the key and just knocked out the lock.

What can I say?

All I can do is give a thumbs up and shout awesome!

Barbara was satisfied with the delicious honey, and I had to buy a new lock.

Don't think that the locks in my house are common street goods. They are artistic locks made by the apprentices of the most famous master craftsmen in Moonlight City!

The price of this lock alone is more than three hundred boxes of magic honey.

The key is that the apprentice of the master craftsman has a very good business. Not counting the customers, the orders are piled up in a mountain. If I really follow the normal queue order, I have to wait for at least half a year.

But if you want to use your privileges to force people to submit like the human race does, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.

Again, except for Ai Rui City and York Han City, the status of masters from all walks of life in other towns is frighteningly high. It is said that the grandfather of a high-ranking noble in Dashai City was still the most famous in Dashai City at that time. He is a master craftsman, and his wife is one of the daughters of the Beastman King's great-grandfather.

Look, you can even marry a princess, and she is still married to the daughter of the great-grandfather of the Orc King who has a strong sense of family status. This is enough to show the importance of master craftsmen, and even masters of all walks of life, in the other three countries. .

It is impossible to force the master craftsman to submit, so there is only one last option - to ask someone else.

There are many objects for me to choose from, especially in Wychburg. I can ask almost any master to help me. The function and quality of the locks made are absolutely excellent. The only difference is in the art, but that is not important. Anyway, the locks of storage cabinets are not meant to look good, as long as they are durable and strong.

Of course, the reason why I got the lock was not to protect my family. To be honest, with my family's ability, 90% of them can open the lock with bare hands - even if the lock is made of high-grade stainless steel, it will still be of no avail.

Because once someone loses their key, they will ask Phoenix for help. As long as Phoenix reaches out and pulls it, there will be a click, no matter how strong the lock is, it still has to give her face.

But the problem is that although Phoenix is ​​good at using brute force to open locks, she also knows some skills while using brute force, such as how to pull the lock open without damaging the core of the lock, which basically does not affect the lock. performance.

Barbara, on the other hand, relied on her indestructible nails to scratch the locks into metal bars. Any lock that passed through her hands had to be remade.

For this reason alone, it would not be an exaggeration to call Barbara a prodigal woman.

I was thinking that one day I would have time, so I could go to Wychburg and talk to the master about the lock, but I didn't expect to run into old Patch walking around.

"Yo" I raised my hand and said hello: "What a coincidence, Mr. Expert~"

"Call me uncle!" Old Patch emphasized: "Why are you so free today?"

"Are you free?" I scratched my head and said, "Well, maybe so, but it's also leisure time after I just finished my busy work."

"What have you been busy with?"

"Eat, sleep and fight monsters~"

"Be serious!"

"I just went to help with the treatment."

When Old Pachi heard this, his eyes changed, he looked at me for a long time, then he hummed and said with a strange smile: "You can also treat diseases?"

"Nope."

"You said you went to get treatment?"

"Hey, I'm just helping," I said, "Taylor is in charge, and I'm responsible for helping to collect materials. By the way, uncle, I just got a bottle of honey, would you like to try it?"

"Honey?" Old Patch smiled and shook his head and refused: "There is plenty at home, and everyone is worried about how to drink it."

"That's ordinary honey, it's different!"

I emphasized.

"What kind of ordinary honey!" Old Patch retorted: "What I bought is the top-quality honey, the kind that costs ten gold coins per pound!"

I didn’t argue with him and asked instead, “Golden Bee, have you heard of it?”

"Golden bee?" Old Patch thought for a long time and then said vaguely: "Is it the legendary poisonous bee that is completely golden and looks a bit like a horn bee?"

"Yes, that's the one!" I chuckled: "This morning I also wanted to treat a child who was poisoned by drinking golden honey."

"What! Golden honey is actually poisonous! Then give me that thing back! Could it be that you want to kill us!"

Old Patch roared loudly, attracting passersby's attention.

I hurriedly pulled Patch through the streets and alleys, and came to a relatively secluded place. Then I breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Golden honey is not poisonous, and even has very good health effects. The so-called poisoning is a bit like It’s the kind of food poisoning, a poisoning reaction caused by drinking too much golden honey and the body can’t withstand the overwhelming magic value.”

"That's it." Old Patch breathed a sigh of relief: "Then according to my physique, how much can I drink?"

"I don't know." I shook my head and said, "You have to ask the old man, he has a more accurate position on the amount of honey to drink."

"Hey, I'm talking about Xiao Yi."

"What's going on?"

"Can you please stop calling Taylor, old man, if you have nothing to do?"

"What's wrong?" I asked in confusion.

"He is an elder, old enough to be your grandfather. It's not polite that you always call him that."

I looked bitter and said helplessly: "I also know that he is old, and I also know that I should call him grandpa. But the problem is that he only recognizes him as old man and does not recognize the title of grandpa. What should you do with me?"

Old Patch frowned and clicked his tongue: "Tsk, this is troublesome. Let's do this. I'll talk to Taylor when I have time."

"It's settled," I chuckled, "Thank you very much."

"Hey, by the way, Xiaoyi, what are you going to do?"
