Chapter 276 Harold’s Transformation Mission
I froze in place.
It's not because the little girl ran away, nor because the little girl took away my water bag and dry food bag while running away.
It's because I seem to have seen this swift figure of a girl somewhere, but I can't remember it for the moment.
I held my chin, frowned and thought hard. I stood there for a while, but couldn't think of a reason.
However, what I can be sure of is that I have definitely seen this figure somewhere, and it won’t be long.
After thinking hard to no avail, I turned around and left, heading towards the next material store.
I thought that only the majestic-looking material stores would turn people away. Unexpectedly, even the mid-level material stores looked at me with blank eyes. Not to mention welcoming me in, even the front door was closed. Wouldn't let me take a step forward.
Really his grandma's.
I wanted to curse, but I still resisted the urge. Calm down, calm down, it is a common habit of human beings to judge people by appearance. You can't get into a big fight just because of such a trivial matter, as this will ruin your mood.
After repeatedly consoling myself, I finally let out a long breath, sheathed the sword around the neck of the most domineering boss, turned around, and left directly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the boss plopped down and passed out on the ground, with his crotch soaked all over.
The people in luxury, large, and medium-sized material stores are almost all the same. They look at me like a stray dog and won't let me in.
I completely ignored the small material shop. It's not that I looked down on them, but they never stocked high-end goods like high-grade stainless steel. I understand this very well.
Those who can go to small material shops to buy things are mostly wandering adventurers with weak strength, or rookie adventurers from some small groups. They don’t have much money, and sometimes they even need to buy weapons made of fine iron. We must weigh and weigh.
When those adventurers who have money and strength choose weapons, most of them will choose from medium-sized or above shops. This not only suits their status, but also allows them to buy powerful weapons made by well-known masters.
As for those small shops, even if the goods you buy are all top-quality fine steel, they will still not patronize them, and they will eventually have no choice but to rot in their hands.
Therefore, the owners of those small shops are more shrewd and realistic. Rather than letting the goods rot in their hands, it is better not to purchase them at all to save themselves from the trouble.
Sighing helplessly, I roamed the streets without energy, thinking about which mine I should dig in.
In the distance, I saw a familiar figure striding out of a shop.
The man was tall, armored, and holding a bag in his hand. The bag was bulging, as if it contained a lot of things. It was Harold.
I lowered my head and planned to pretend I didn't see him and walk away. However, before I had walked more than ten steps, I heard Harold's voice not far away: "Isn't this An Xiaoyi? Don't kill monsters." , what are you doing hanging around here?"
I raised my head pretending to be confused, looked around, and when I saw Harold, I pretended to be surprised and said, "Ha, it's you, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
Harold shook the bundle in his hand and said, "These are peeled sandworm teeth. I just happened to pick them up on the way. What about you?"
I groaned, a little embarrassed, and said: "Uh-huh, I'm haha today. Oh, by the way, I originally wanted to fight monsters today, but I forgot to bring the food bag and water bag, haha, hahaha .”
Just a few words made me feel embarrassed.
From the way Harold looked at me, it was obvious that he didn't believe what I said. Not only did he not believe it, he even had an intriguing meaning.
After staring at me for a while, Harold shook his head and said, "I'm going to the adventurer base to hand in a mission now. Will you come with me?"
"Okay," I said, "Of course, it just so happens that I also want to see how the fading mission works."
I followed Harold to the Adventurer Base. The staff at the base received Harold very warmly and took me with him.
Even though I felt like it was nothing special, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
By the way, the difference in treatment is a bit too obvious.
I followed Harold and walked straight to a hall inside. When I arrived at the entrance, the staff stopped me and said, "Sir, please wait here."
I glanced at Harold, who said to the staff: "It doesn't matter, he is my friend, let him stay with me."
"But Lord Harold"
Harold smiled slightly and said: "Thank you very much for your concern for me, but it really doesn't matter. He is someone I can trust."
I was flattered by what I said. I smiled at the staff member who glared at me and said, "I'm sorry, miss. I'm a trustworthy person~"
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!"
I let out a series of triumphant laughs, and then, sadly, I bumped into a stone pillar, and I was instantly dizzy and starry-eyed.
Only then did I see that the girl on staff put away her stern face, smiled at me charmingly, turned around and left.
I covered the burning bridge of my nose and followed Harold into the hall with a grin on his face.
If the hall is large and magnificently decorated, it will almost catch up with the auditorium of the palace!
The walls of the entire hall, together with more than a dozen stone pillars, were painted with gold paint, and rows of gems were inlaid at specific locations. Under the illumination of the magic lamp, they exuded an alluring light.
In the middle of the hall, there is a huge stone statue erected. The stone statue is carved from marble. The carving technique is extremely skillful, and the character is vividly created, making it look like a real person.
The stone statue has its hands spread out, as if it is preaching, and it also seems to show mercy to all living beings and to save the world.
I sneered and didn't say anything, but I thought to myself: "What a righteous and awe-inspiring statue of the God of Mercy, which looks just like Father Shenzi. So many adventurers died at the hands of monsters in the dungeon, and you didn't come to rescue me. Get a statue of a god and be worshiped here, haha."
Just as he was thinking about it, Harold knelt down on his knees, respectfully spread out the bundle and placed it in front of the statue. Then, he clasped his hands together and prayed silently.
I leaned against a stone pillar and looked at Harold quietly and the stone statue in front of him.
After a few seconds, the teeth of the sandworm contained in the bag made a soft clicking sound, as if a mouse was eating wood.
Immediately afterwards, the snow-white teeth seemed to be liquefied, slowly turning into a pool of milky white paste, and then, after some trembling, they turned into a pool of milky white liquid, It looks like a slurry of correction fluid commonly used during school days.
