Claude was first sent to the school gate by his father in a carriage, and then he jumped into the classroom on one leg with a cane, and was once again given a standing welcome by his classmates. These students had seen the body of the four-meter-long Niros crocodile placed on the pier yesterday afternoon and evening, and most of them had heard that Claude gave the crocodile the final fatal blow.
Now Claude's left foot is wrapped in a large plaster, and the way he jumps in with his hands on crutches is very consistent with their imagination of Claude fighting this ferocious giant crocodile for 300 rounds, heroically being injured and finally killing the crocodile and winning. A glorious image, so they not only stood up but also applauded collectively to express their admiration for Claude's heroic behavior. At least at this moment, Claude has become their hero.
Claude was very embarrassed. He didn't expect that his classmates would welcome him with such courtesy, which made him feel flattered. He was even embarrassed to curse: What a slap, wouldn't anyone with eyesight come over and help him? Using crutches for the first time was not an easy thing for Claude to master, especially jumping from the school gate. It is not a short journey to the classroom. It is estimated to be nearly a hundred meters away, mainly because there is a large playground in the middle.
After struggling to reach his seat in the last row of the classroom, Claude put down his crutches, threw the schoolbag on his back into the drawer, raised his hands to express his gratitude to the students for their welcome, and then sat quietly in his seat. Start taking a nap. I have no choice but to catch up on my sleep in the liberal arts class some time ago, and I have developed a habit of wanting to sleep as soon as I sit in my position.
However, within a few minutes, Verricro, Bockar and Erikson ran into the classroom out of breath, and Claude's sleepiness disappeared.
"We were waiting for you at the door of your house in the morning. When we saw your father taking you to the carriage, we didn't dare to say hello, so we ran after him." Verricro explained.
"There is no need to gather in front of my house from now on. You should come to school separately, or the three of you go to school together." Claude was also helpless: "At least until the injury on my foot heals, my father has decided to send me to school every morning." I'm coming to school."
Viriklo, Ericson and Bockar had no choice but to gather in front of Claude's house every day to go to school together. The main reason was that Claude's house was closest to the school and everyone was on the same road. At most, it was only a slight turn away. The street fifty or sixty meters away. Another thing is that the street in front of Claude's house has the most food stalls in the morning. If you occasionally get hungry, you can buy something delicious to share with everyone, and then go to school while talking and laughing.
Now Claude's father decided to drive Claude to school in person every morning, and the three of them didn't have the guts to ride in the carriage. It seems that before Claude recovers from his injury, he will either go to school alone, or he will continue to gather in front of Claude's house and the three of them go to school together.
"By the way, did you sell all those prey catches and the crocodile yesterday?" Claude asked Boquear.
"Sold" Bockaar was not very interested, and seemed to be very upset.
"What's wrong with you?" Claude was a little strange. It’s impossible not to sell it for a high price. The Niros crocodile is a treasure. Not to mention the skin, the crocodile meat is also a delicacy, let alone such a huge crocodile.
"The crocodile was bought by Sir Fox, and he only paid four gold crowns." Erikson said next to him.
Four gold crowns is already twenty silver thalers. This is indeed a good price for Claude, but why does Boker look so gloomy
Sighing, Bockaar said with a sad face: "You don't know, this crocodile can be sold for a higher price. After returning home, my father told me that if this crocodile is auctioned in the county town of Barromise, It is at least ten gold crowns. Not to mention anything else, the crocodile skin alone is worth eight gold crowns. This is a giant Niros crocodile over four meters long. The three southwest counties have not been in the Kermida Swamp for decades. We caught such a big crocodile”
It turned out that Bockal held an auction at the dock yesterday evening to auction off the Niros crocodile. He believed that the most likely buyer was Hans, the owner of the weapons store, because crocodile skin is the best protective material for leather armor.
Next is Gilp's leather goods store. They didn't buy anything last time.
