The World of Deities

Chapter 5: bargain

Views:

In the courtyard in autumn, there are occasional fallen leaves.

Stepping out of the courtyard door, Suye saw a middle-aged man in a white robe lying on a light brown slanted bed, leisurely flipping through a yellow-brown papyrus book. The maid picked it up carefully.

Su ye's nose moved slightly, the tea smelled faintly, and his eyes fell on the teapot on the table, which didn't look like something that Greece should have in this era.

The middle-aged foreman walked over with small steps and whispered beside Kelton.

Kelton raised his head, handed the papyrus book to the maid beside him, and looked at Suye quietly, with a faint warmth in his brown pupils.

Su ye met Kelton's gaze without fear.

Most of the Greeks at this time were thin and small, but Kelton's appearance was as tall and strong as a Greek statue, with deep-set eye sockets, deep eyes, straight nose, and a head of black curly hair, enough to be an excellent sculpture model.

Su ye suddenly stared at Kelton's left ring finger. The silver double snake title ruby ring was particularly eye-catching. The moment he saw it, his eyes even hurt slightly.

It wasn't the big ruby that hurt Su ye's eyes, but one of the four emerald eyes on the two snake heads.

Kelton didn't get up, and said with a look of nostalgia: "I heard about your parents, and I am very sorry. Your parents are real craftsmen, and I like eating your father's bread the most. If you need help, As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Su ye felt that when Kelton was speaking, his eyes quickly swept across his body.

"I don't need help." Su ye raised his head properly, showing his stubbornness.

Kelton got up slowly, sat up straight on the slant bed, showed a kind smile, and said, "Then what do you want?"

Suye sighed softly, and said, "I have had a dream since I was a child, to become a great magician and use magic to make the world a better place. Later, my parents ran out of money and sent me to Plato Academy. Now, someone Taking advantage of my parents' death, they robbed my house, so I may not be able to continue my studies at Plato Academy and become a magician. Therefore, I will make a deal with you to allow me to continue my studies."

"What deal?" Kelton's expression moved slightly.

Huck, who was looking up at the sky, turned his head to look at Su ye, as if he wanted to get to know the child again.

"A deal that can make Dolphin River famous, and it may even make your name spread throughout Greece and even the whole world." Su Ye said.

"Is it a good name or notoriety?" Kelton stood up, still smiling, but the powerful aura of the Silver Warrior spread silently.

Suye suddenly had the illusion that Kelton in front of him turned into a ten-meter-tall giant, showing a ferocious smile.

"I have the gourmet recipe left by my parents!" Su ye said in a deep voice, with a slight sadness in his voice, his eyes lowered slightly, and the focus of his eyes shifted from Kelton to the lower table beside him.

On the way, Su ye thought about this action dozens of times.

Kelton was taken aback, restrained his breath, nodded, and said, "Continue."

Su Ye shook his head, and said, "I don't want to say too much. In short, I have a gourmet recipe that my parents have carefully researched, which is worth tens of thousands of gold, but I am willing to sell it for a thousand gold Zeus today."

Kelton looked at Su ye, smiled and said nothing.

He flipped his right hand, and a golden coin appeared in the palm of his hand, with a majestic and vague profile engraved on the front, Zeus, the king of the gods.

With a flick of his thumb, the gold coin flew in the air with a buzzing sound, glittering with golden light, and finally fell back into the palm of his hand with the back side up.

"The golden eagle is always so charming." Kelton said.

On the back of the gold coin, there is engraved an eagle with fluttering wings, which is Zeus' favorite animal and also the letter history of Zeus.

On general occasions, the Greeks called gold coins the Golden Eagle, and on formal occasions, they called them the Golden Zeus.

This involves a legend of the gods.

According to legend, the Greek gods set three kinds of coins, but they had endless disputes over whose head should be used.

Later, Athena said that the gold coin is the most noble, and it should be engraved with the head of the king of the gods. This made Zeus very happy.

Then Athena said that silver coins are second only to gold coins, and no one can be second only to Zeus except the queen Hera. Hera was also very happy.

Afterwards Athena asked, nobles would never touch cheap copper coins. Copper coins are destined to circulate in the lower layers and mud, and even slaves can use them. Which Lord God is willing to be touched by slaves

The highest-ranking main gods all gave up fighting, and their original goal was gold and silver coins. Eventually, Athena's head appeared on the copper coin, with her beloved spiritual creature, the owl, on the reverse.

The Goddess of Wisdom did not lie, and the final result was just as she said. Copper coins circulated among the low-level people, and some nobles did not even touch copper coins for life. However, this also made the name of Athena the most widely spread among the low-level people.

Many people do not believe this legend.

One Golden Eagle Coin is enough to buy a sheep, and fifty Gold Eagle Coins can buy any dwelling in the slums of Athens. When Kelton bought this land and built the Dolphin River Restaurant, it only cost two thousand Golden Eagle Coins .

"As I said, this gourmet recipe will definitely be passed down through the ages, and even make your name famous forever." Suye looked at Kelton with firm eyes.

Kelton stared into Su ye's eyes, staring intently.

The middle-aged foreman on the side originally raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a very light mocking expression on his face, but suddenly his expression changed, he hurriedly approached Kelton, and whispered in his ear: "Sir, the reason why his parents Selling the old store and borrowing money to raise money for a bigger store, is it because you have mastered this gourmet recipe?"

Kelton nodded slightly, he had thought of this possibility a long time ago.

Kelton asked, "What kind of gourmet recipe is that?"

Su Ye said firmly: "My recipe can make one more dish on the dinner tables of all Greece and even the whole world."

"Congratulations, you have fulfilled your dream of changing the world with magic ahead of schedule." Kelton's face was full of enthusiasm.

The middle-aged foreman and the maid laughed softly very cooperatively.

Huck didn't laugh.

Su ye didn't smile either.

"I'll make an offer, you counter the price." Su ye looked up at the tall Kelton.

"Ten golden eagles." Kelton was still smiling.

Su Ye froze for a moment, looked around with confused eyes, puzzled: "There is a miser Mr. Kelton in the workshop area? Did I come to the wrong place?"

The middle-aged foreman and maid frowned slightly.

Kelton looked at Su ye without saying a word.

Su Ye straightened his expression and continued: "I didn't come here because I heard that Mr. Kelton is generous, that you are rich, that you are kind, and that you are easy to deceive. It is because I heard that, You are one of the wisest men in the Workshop District, and one of the most far-sighted."

"I will try my best to remove 'one'." Kelton smiled confidently.

Su Ye continued: "What do you think will happen if President Plato visits Dolphin River?"
