Chapter 553 Lizzy’s Heart
One piece of candy costs one gold coin!
My body was shaken, and I was frightened half to death.
After a while, he finally regained his composure and tentatively asked the two lolita: "Are you sure you want one gold coin each for the candy?"
Lily and Lizzie's little heads were on fire.
Suppressing the unquenchable shock in my heart, I decided to meet in person the owner of this shop that sells candy for one gold coin.
The moment I opened the door, I smelled a fascinating aroma. It was the fragrance that only the purest fructose can exude.
The shop owner is a female elf. Many people may think that men will never bargain in front of women, but I am completely different.
As a pauper who had lived on the street for many months, sometimes in order to fill his stomach and save money, he would constantly bargain with various vendors, whether they were men or women, even the elderly and children.
In the process of bargaining and being driven away, I developed a thick skin that even Achilles might not be able to pierce with a spear!
Zilaisu greeted the shopkeeper, and I said, "Excuse me, how much do the candies here cost?"
She enthusiastically introduced the prices of candies: there are ones for one copper coin, one for one silver coin, and there are also types that can only be purchased with many copper coins and many silver coins.
Hearing that she was slow to introduce one without a single gold coin, I winked at Lily and said, "Which one do you want?"
Lily stretched out her little hand, and following the direction of her finger, I saw a colorful candy as big as a fist.
The shopkeeper looked at the candies and said, "Sir, your children have come here to ask about the price of this kind of candy before, but do you really plan to buy them this kind of candy?"
"Uh" I said with three black lines on my forehead: "They are not my children, they are my sisters. Can you tell me the price of this candy?"
The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, "One gold coin for each."
"Well? One gold coin for one, isn't it a bit..."
"You want to say it's a bit expensive, right?" The shopkeeper shook his head slightly and said, "A gold coin for this kind of candy is already very cheap."
"Huh?" Three question marks appeared on my head, and I couldn't help but ask, "How do you say this?"
"This is not a candy for children," the shop owner said, "This is a candy specially sold to magicians to replenish their magic power and physical strength."
"There is such a candy?" I was shocked.
"Indeed, sir," she said, "the syrup used to make this kind of candy is taken from a certain kind of nectar unique to our Moonlight City. After entering the body, the nectar of that kind of flower will decompose into edible nectar within a short period of time. Magic and physical strength for the eater to use.”
"Oh~" My eyes lit up: I found something good.
"How much magic and physical strength can such a candy replenish?" I asked again.
"I'm not very sure about this," the shop owner said, "but this kind of candy is very durable."
"Eatable?"
"Yes," she explained: "Such a candy is barely enough for an adult to eat for a week."
"You mean, you eat it every day?" I asked.
"Yes, I eat it every day," she nodded.
"That's right" I said to myself: "From this point of view, this candy with one gold coin is not expensive."
"Sir? Sir?"
The shopkeeper's voice sounded from the side, and I turned my head. She was looking at me with her head tilted, and said, "What kind of candy are you going to buy?"
I pointed out my hand and said, "That's it."
"But..." The shop owner didn't seem to think it was appropriate for me to buy candies that cost one gold coin each, and tried to convince me again.
"Well, don't think about it," I said, "It's the kind that comes with one gold coin. I want... uh, wait a minute, I'll think about it."
Then, I counted the numbers for each person on my fingers and calculated how many pills each person would need to buy. However, after much calculation, I felt that one pill for each person might not be appropriate, so I decided to buy two pills for each person, but it seemed that Something was wrong, so I subconsciously touched my pocket.
After counting, there were more than sixty gold coins left in total. After digging out some spare gold coins, there were still more than forty gold coins left that could be used casually. Simply use them all to buy candies.
The shopkeeper took the gold coins, packed all the candies, put them in a quite large box, and handed them to me.
After taking the box, not to mention it was quite heavy, I said goodbye to the shop owner and walked out of the door with the two girls who were like little tails.
Seeing the expectant looks on the two lolita's faces and the drool dripping down their cheeks, I smiled and gave each of them a candy, and the two lolita couldn't wait to lick it.
I turned around and looked at Loki, who was sleeping soundly against the outer wall. I was really angry and funny, so I stepped forward and kicked his butt and said, "Hey, hey, get up, get up."
Loki stirred and continued to sleep.
So I kicked him a few more times.
As a result, not only did this guy not wake up, but he even talked in his sleep: "Young children, surrender to the feet of Lord Loki. Hahahahahaha, I am a hero respected by thousands of people, Lord Loki!"
Two tic-tac-toes appeared on my forehead instantly. I twitched the corner of my mouth a few times, and with a little force, I kicked Loki on the butt.
Loki screamed "Ah", covered his butt and jumped up. While looking around blankly, he said: "Who, who attacked my hero's butt!"
"It's me" I sneered.
Loki was startled. After seeing clearly that it was me, the anger on his face instantly turned into a flattering smile. He rubbed his butt with one hand and scratched his hair with the other, and said, "It turns out to be the boss, hehe."
"Let's go" I said.
"Where are you going?" Loki asked, looking around.
"Where else can we go?" I said, "Of course I'm going back. I asked you to catch some fish, but you actually fell asleep for me halfway. By the way, where are the fish?"
"Fish? Fish!" Loki was confused. He touched his body randomly, looked around for a long time, and finally asked Lily: "Lily, where is the fish?"
"Fish?" Lily asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What kind of fish?"
"Fish, fish!" Loki danced and said, "It's the white fish, the white fish that my eldest sister asked us to salvage in the Elf Forest!"
"Ah" Lily suddenly realized, then looked at Lizi and said, "Lizi, where is the fish?"
Li Zi was startled, then slowly lowered her hand, hid the candy behind her back, lowered her head and said nothing.
I walked forward and whispered: "Lizzy, tell brother, where is the fish?"
Li Zi looked pitifully aggrieved and said, "I let the fish go."
"Let go!" Loki jumped to his feet and shouted. He seemed to want to say something more, but he was silenced by a look from me.
I smiled and touched her little face and said, "Tell brother, why did you let those fish go?"
Li Zi murmured: "They, they are still alive, they look so pitiful after being captured."
"Yeah" I was silent. It turned out that Li Zi was out of sympathy.
At this moment, Li Zi curled her lips, and tears suddenly fell down. She sobbed and said: "Xiao, brother Xiao Yi, I, I was wrong, no, I shouldn't have let the fish go. , candy, give it back to you, please, don’t catch them again.”
As she said that, she held out her little hand and handed over the candy that she couldn't bear to eat at all.
