"Miss Aurelian, let's put aside the grievances between the High Elves and the Defilers."
Joshua took out a booklet, and Ciri also cooperated and took out the latest account book of the Forgotten Land branch.
"Let's do the math," Joshua said.
"Settlement?" At this moment, Aurelian suddenly remembered some appalling stories that Elder Enya usually told her.
"Don't try to buy me with human money!" Aurelian said righteously, "Let me be a slave of human beings and I would rather die!"
"Buy you?"
Joshua looked at the girl's determined expression, as if she was a chaste and noble Joan of Arc.
"What she said should be described as 'this is like the plot of a book'?" Ciri whispered beside her.
Congratulations... Miss Ciri, you have learned a whole new meme.
Joshua is not in the mood to complain with Ciri now, but is just going to correct the high elf's secondary disease or princess disease
"I didn't mean to buy you. In fact, you already owe me a lot of money." Joshua tapped his pen on the notebook and said.
"I don't remember owing you anything!"
"Really? If I remember correctly, your dinner yesterday was a bisque of one hundred and twenty-seven apples and some vegetables."
Qiao Xiu flipped through the account book that Ciri handed over. The money spent on incoming and outgoing shipments of this branch was recorded in the account book.
A large portion of the marketing dollars in this ledger is provided by the high elves who temporarily live on the third floor, although they have not paid for it.
"The day before yesterday, your breakfast seemed to be Long Liguo. That thing is not cheap. It is only available in the country near the sea. You took a whole box at one time."
The more Joshua said about Aurelian's expression, the more ugly it became. This ugliness had already entered the range of physical discomfort, and Aurelian had to cover her forehead and quietly listen to Joshua's "reimbursement".
"This is just your food for two meals. If you count all the food you have eaten since you lived here during this period, the price will be rounded up by a fraction, which is about 3,000 gold coins."
Joshua said a terrifying number for civilians.
"That's enough money to buy a nice little house on the fringe of Nolan."
"I didn't eat those things." Aurelian still answered Joshua with a tough attitude.
"Didn't eat?" Joshua looked at Ciri beside him.
The high elves caught by Joshua were mostly women, and they also needed to take a bath every day. Under such circumstances, Joshua consciously handed over the surveillance to Ciri.
"I don't know how she did it, but she really doesn't need to say 'really fragrant' now." Ciri confirmed that Aurelian was telling the truth in another way.
Joshua also noticed that Aurelian's body is very weak now, and she has been struggling for so many days without relying on food, and she has kept her previous promise.
"Isn't it simply blind arrogance?"
Joshua saw a confident smile on the high elf's face again, but her face didn't look good.
"Don't worry, the movies you watch will also be charged."
"Movie?"
"It's those images of you crying and saying 'Why are demons killed by a group of human villagers!' 'Hachiko's death is not worth it!'"
When Joshua mentioned these two sentences, Aurelian finally had a little blood on his face that had been defeated.
"I... I didn't say that!"
When Aurelian said this, her long ears kept shaking, and Joshua turned his inquiring gaze to Quitoan next to him.
The elf elder glanced at his granddaughter's reaction.
"When she's lying, her ears are shaking like this." Quitoan nodded and gave Joshua an affirmative answer.
"grandfather!"
At this moment, Aurelian finally couldn't help standing up directly from the seat, but her weak body made her sit back to her position again.
"It's fine if you want to deny the movie, the card box you're carrying can't be denied, right?"
Joshua pointed to the fanny pack on Aurelian's waist, which contained a black original spar.
"Card box?"
"The card box of Hearthstone."
The moment Joshua said "Hearthstone", Aurelian's face changed.
"That's not what the remnants of the past left behind..."
Aurelian didn't expect that the legend of Hearthstone was created by Joshua, but when Ciri and Joshua put two identical black crystals on the table, her rebuttal words were instantly swallowed back into her stomach. middle.
"I lent you that card box of yours. The total value of all the cards in it is about one thousand to one thousand three hundred gold coins in the market," said Joshua.
"Can this card box also be exchanged for money?"
Aurelian's view of human trade is already a bit confusing. Aren't these cards all "virtual items" composed of inscriptions
"Not only can it be sold for money, but it is also very expensive. Your favorite Deathwing, if it is of golden quality, can be sold in the market for about 300 gold." Joshua said.
The transaction price of Hearthstone cards is accompanied by various discounts on the price of card packs, which has gradually begun to decline, and has now become very stable.
It is now rare for a golden legendary Balrog to sell for nearly a few thousand gold coins, but the price of this card has been stable at more than a thousand gold coins.
"How can I repay?" Aurelian asked subconsciously.
When Joshua heard the question, he understood that the girl wanted to keep the card box.
"If you work as a waiter at the Hearthstone Tavern, I will pay you twenty-five gold coins per month, and occasionally a bonus or something. Your income should be stable at around thirty."
If Qiao Xiu remembered correctly, the salary of working in the Hearthstone Tavern may be better than that of some alchemy workshops.
"You want to buy that card box in full, let me do the math... You will at least serve tea and water to those humans you despise for three years under my command!"
Three years is not a long number for the high elves, but three full years in the service of humans is a long time for Aurelian!
"You say reluctance on your face? There's nothing you can do, return the card box to me." Joshua extended his hand to the high elf.
She hesitated for a while, then took out the black original spar and handed it to Qiao Xiu.
Qiao Xiu stretched out his hand and held the black original spar, but Aurelian still held it tightly without any intention of loosening it. As an archer, she would never tremble in this hand. He also trembled slightly.
This stalemate did not last long, a white cat suddenly appeared behind Aurelian's neck, and the white cat jumped along her arm and onto Joshua.
But after the white cat was separated from Aurelian, her body was weakened to a higher level. At this moment, her body was so weak that she couldn't stand still... Her eyes were fixed on Joshua, and she hadn't said anything yet. It fell directly to the ground.
"I just said there must be something wrong with not eating for so long!"
Ciri glanced at the white cat standing on Joshua's shoulders. It was this white cat that had been providing energy to Aurelian.
"It seems that we can only talk next time." Joshua glanced at the black original spar in his hand, walked to Aurelian who fell on the ground, and put the original spar in her hand again. .
"You gave it to her like that?"
"This card box is a side deck that I used a long time ago. There are a lot of cards missing, but now I have collected them one after another."
The Hearthstone that Joshua played for Aurelian was a "single-player version", which only had an adventure mode, and the lord who defeated a certain number of times could get a pack of cards.
Judging from the current collection of cards, it is not too much to call this girl "Liver Emperor".
"Joshua Arnold, do you think she can handle the same duties as Al?"
Quitoan glanced at Al asked in the distance.
"I don't know, but the premise is that you have to ask this girl if she is interested in debuting."
The moment Qiao Xiu's voice fell, the entire Arthur Kroo suddenly vibrated again, and the degree of this vibration was different from the previous fall when the energy was exhausted.
A bad premonition permeated Joshua's heart.
