At noon the next day, Zhang Hao secretly dug out the 40 gold coins buried in the ground and hid them in a corner of the carriage when no one was paying attention. Then, he carried the six barrels of fruit wine to the car. This was hard on him. Because he was afraid of exposing his identity, Zhang Hao did not dare to use his strength. He could only use brute force to carry the barrels to the car one by one. Each barrel of fruit wine weighed nearly 100 pounds. After Zhang Hao carried all six barrels, he was as tired as a pug under the sun, panting.
Alicia smiled gently and watched. She had been like this since morning. Zhang Hao muttered in his heart, It was just a beautiful stone. Was there a need to be so happy?
After Zhang Hao finished moving, the red-haired girl found a scarf from somewhere and thoughtfully wiped the sweat off Zhang Hao's forehead. Zhang Hao only felt that Alicia was quite gentle today. Other than that, he didn't feel anything else. However, someone else didn't think so. Uhari, the caretaker of the stables, glared at Zhang Hao with burning anger. Unfortunately, he did not have much strength. His gaze could not kill people. Zhang Hao's Yintang acupoint did not feel anything, so he did not know that there was a fire burning vinegar behind him.
After the carriage left the town, Zhang Hao took out ten gold coins and gave the rest to Alicia. The girl refused because she said,""That was money that you exchanged with your life, Alex. How could I accept it? Besides, you have already given me a very beautiful gem.”After saying that, she looked embarrassed.
This 'enough' had a deep meaning, but unfortunately, Zhang Hao was young and inexperienced, so he couldn't understand. The silly boy scratched his head and said awkwardly," I don't need so much money. I still have a pile of gold coins at home. I can't spend it all by myself."”
"Then why don't you just find someone to spend it with?”Alicia whispered and glanced at Zhang Hao. Seeing that Zhang Hao was staring at her, she quickly looked away.
"Find someone? Where?" Zhang Hao didn't understand what Alicia meant.
"Who knows? There might be one on the way.”Alicia's face turned even redder.'There's one on the road' was a proverb in this world. Its meaning was equivalent to 'far away in the horizon, close at hand' in Chinese. However, Zhang Hao had only been in this world for less than three months, so he naturally could not understand such a 'subtle' saying. No, it should be said that Zhang Hao had misinterpreted the meaning of this sentence.
"It is indeed a good idea." Zhang Hao imitated his grandfather and held his chin. Unfortunately, his beard had not grown out yet, which made him feel a little regretful. In this world, there were definitely children beggars. If he took one in, not only would he have a younger brother or sister, the house would be livelier, and he or she would help with the housework. Zhang Hao had been pampered since he was young and could not do the housework well. He had not tidied up the house for the past few days, and the house had already started to become a little messy. Yes, he should find a girl. It would be better to have a younger sister than a younger brother. She would be obedient and well-behaved. " It's perfect," Zhang Hao beamed. Alicia was so smart. He looked at the girl gratefully as he thought about it.
Alicia saw Zhang Hao staring at her with a 'flirtatious' smile, and her heart was beating fast. She quickly sat down and touched the spider crystal core in her arms through her clothes. A wave of sweetness surged in her heart.
Along the way, they only met a few patrolling cavalrymen. When the carriage stopped in front of the Crocco Adventurers 'Union, the sun had already set and the sky was already slightly dark. A few male attendants walked over and began to carry the fruit wine. Zhang Hao told Alicia that he had to go home first. Under the girl's confused gaze, Zhang Hao pointed at his belly, which was bulging like a belly. Alicia immediately realized that it was a bag containing gold coins. Hence, the girl started to cover for Zhang Hao.""Alex told me earlier that you were carsick. Your face is so pale. Go back and sleep first.”
A waiter at the side found it strange." A pretty boy's face isn't pale. Can you still call him a pretty boy?"”
Zhang Hao fled gloomily under the friendly laughter of Alicia and the waiter.
As soon as Alicia entered the guild, she noticed that many people in the guild were staring at her breasts. Just as she was feeling annoyed, she remembered that she had the crystal core of the Spider King in her pocket. She took a closer look and realized that the people staring at her were indeed mages.
Alicia felt awkward at this moment. She kept blaming Zhang Hao in her heart."Damn Alex, he actually gave me such a 'conspicuous' token. If I had known earlier, I would have thrown it away.”Although she thought so, Alicia knew that even if she lost her life, she would not throw this thing away.
A noble mage with blue eyes and red eyes walked up to Alicia. Judging from the red coat of arms on his chest, he should be an intermediate fire mage. The mage elegantly bowed to a noble and asked,""Beautiful girl, please forgive my rudeness, but do you have a Fire Element Magical Beast Essence Crystal on you?”
"Yes!" Alicia nodded.
"Can you let me see what this powerful Mana Core looks like?”As soon as the noble finished speaking, all the mages in the hall stood up and surrounded Alicia.
Alicia did not want to take it out, but when she saw the eager gazes of the surrounding mages, her heart softened and she took out the crystal core.
The red glow of the crystal core caused the mages to exclaim in amazement. Even if they were not mages, the other mercenaries could feel the powerful magic power contained in the crystal core from the red glow.
"May I ask if you are selling this crystal core?”The noble's eyes were burning with passion. This crystal core was perfect for him. If he could mount it on his magic staff, he would be able to apply for advancement at the Mage Guild and become a high-level mage. That way, he would only be one step away from the title of a grand mage.
"Not for sale." The red-haired girl didn't even think about it and rejected him.
The noble was stunned and asked,"Why? I can pay?" Before he could finish, a messenger from the Adventurers 'Guild rushed in from outside the door and opened a piece of paper.
"The latest news is that last night, 105 mercenaries from Bulu Town were hunting down a group of fire spiders. There was an extremely huge red fire spider in the group of fire spiders. It must have been the Spider King after the incident. In the later stages of the battle, the cavalry of the Azure Dragon Mercenary Group came to reinforce them. The Spider King released blue hellfire, and the cavalry was completely destroyed. Then, the Spider King led the spider group to escape into the forest. No one dared to chase after them, and the encirclement failed.”
The mercenary hall was in an uproar. All the mercenaries were surprised. The blue hellfire was a terrifying nightmare in the legends, but what made them even more surprised was yet to come.
The messenger opened another piece of paper from the bag on his back. The mercenaries all quieted down, waiting for the messenger to read the new message.
"After the mercenaries failed in their encirclement, in less than 15cal (about 30 minutes), a thief brought the Spider King's crystal core to the Bulu Town branch to submit a mission. After confirmation, it was indeed the Spider King's crystal core. In view of this, the mission to encircle and suppress the spider group has been completed. All branches have canceled the mission to encircle and suppress the spider group. According to reliable sources, the thief was suspected to be a new thief from Crocco Town, the Fire Spider. However, after the Union's investigation, the Thieves 'Guild did not have this person. Afterwards, the thief Fire Spider gave the Essence Crystal to a red-haired, red-eyed girl, who should be the bartender of the Adventurer's Branch in Crocco Town.”
At this moment, everyone turned to look at Alicia, the thief, Fire Spider. All the mercenaries who had been in Crotch City for the past two days had heard of his deeds. The most exaggerated story was that the Fire Spider fought with the Magic Wolf and his wife for 300 rounds, and was finally subdued by him. In the end, he forced a kiss on the Magic Wolf's wife and left. The mercenaries all knew that the Thieves 'Guild had enough of Demon Wolf's might, and it was not easy for someone to make Demon Wolf suffer, so naturally, the rumors were exaggerated. However, it was a publicly acknowledged fact that the demonic wolf had lost to the Fire Spider.
However, the Fire Spider had given such a precious crystal core to the girl in front of him, which meant that this girl was naturally related to the Fire Spider. If he could get the true identity of the Fire Spider from this girl, it would be more valuable than getting 10 Spider King's crystal cores.
Although the Spider King's Crystal Core was rare, it was not difficult to obtain it as long as one put in some effort. In the past few years, the only Bandit who could make Magic Wolf suffer was the Fire Spider. Who was Magic Wolf? He was someone that even the " magic genius " and " grand mage " Princess Lapecir admired. If one were to include his skills in using magic in the evaluation, then Magic Wolf could definitely be called a grand mage. If he could recruit the thief who had caused such a powerful magic wolf to suffer a loss, the Fire Spider, into his mercenary group, it would be a great help. With this thought in mind, everyone in the hall was thinking about how to befriend Alicia.
The red-haired girl, Alicia, was scared. She felt that the mercenaries in the guild were looking at her strangely, as if they were trying to kidnap her. However, she knew the reason. Bastard Alex, you've made me suffer!
