Chapter 13
Chapter 13: Psychological Expectations Are Not Low Enough
Lu Yu returned to the grain store again and asked about the servant transaction.
The owner of the grain store was stunned for a while, smacking the information revealed by Lu Yu’s incomparably stiff voice in confusion.
“Servant transactions, if it is a ritual ceremony for exchanging servants between nobles, then you just need to find a gentleman who is also a noble to negotiate.”
“Guest, you are embarrassing me this time. The details of the servant’s transaction are not known to a small shop owner not far from the border like me. I don’t have any nobles in my family.”
Lu Yu choked, he found that his wording was wrong.
“Sorry, I made a mistake. I wanted to ask if there is a place to buy slaves around here.”
“It turns out that the guests came by accident. Not long ago, a large number of slaves were brought back from near the border, and they were sold nearby.”
“But in the end, this town is for adventurers and merchants who come and go, and most of them don’t have the need to buy slaves.”
“So the slave caravan stayed here for less than a day before heading towards the royal city.”
“If the customer really wants to buy slaves, I still recommend that you go to the vicinity of the royal city. There are plenty of goods, there are more races to choose from, and it is not easy to be tricked.”
Lu Yu asked, “How far is it from the Wangcheng?”
“With an ordinary person’s footsteps, it would take at least nine to twelve days and nights.”
“I suggest that guests consider renting a mount as well.”
“A mount with good physical strength and fast speed can reach the royal city in less than a day… Of course, it costs money.”
“If you’re not in such a hurry and don’t seek to get to the royal city within a day, you can wait on the main road outside the town.”
“Pay some money to the merchants who come and go, and they are willing to make room for you on their carriage.”
Taking out a few copper coins and handing them to the grain store owner, Lu Yu left the grain store thoughtfully.
Under the guidance of passers-by, Lu Yu first found a place to rent a mount.
Hearing that Lu Yu was going to Wangcheng, the other party smiled and led Lu Yu to the yard where the horses were kept.
Lu Yu, who was originally a little excited, was greatly disappointed when he saw the horse scurrying in front of him.
In one sentence…the rainbow ponies are gathered together.
The staff of the rental office didn’t notice Lu Yu’s expression at all, and were still enthusiastically introducing his horses to Lu Yu.
While listening to the introduction, Lu Yu inadvertently tilted the backpack behind him slightly so that Lulutis could see the row of rainbow ponies through the hole.
“Let me think about it, do you think these horses are not unique enough?”
Lulutis can be considered to understand Lu Yu’s veins.
When she exchanged knowledge before, she knew that Lu Yu also had horses in that world.
When Lu Yu came here, he expected some kind of strange monster to become his mount.
“Didn’t you say that unicorns, griffins, and domesticated giant harpies are all right?”
“I’m talking about the Solon Empire where I belong.” Lulutis corrected, “It would be nice to have some mixed-race horses in such a remote place.”
“If you can mix it like this, it is estimated that most of them are inferior horses. Only one color is left to attract attention, so I think the experience of whoever you choose is similar.”
Lu Yu was dumbfounded.
With all the rainbow ponies, Lu Yu had no choice but to choose a black horse that was said to be of griffin blood.
Since Lu Yu is not a citizen of Yas Kingdom, nor is he a well-known local adventurer, and has not even had a name in the Adventurer’s Guild, the rules for leasing are very strict.
Lu Yu needs to pay the full amount of the horse, then receive a lease, and after arriving in Wangcheng, he finds the corresponding chamber of commerce to redeem the pledged money with the horse.
One silver coin, this is the price that the rental agency gave Lu Yu, not including the rental amount.
Lu Yu left the rental office without looking back.
He didn’t know the price of the mount rental very well, but he was simply put off by the price.
According to his observation, the silver coins that White Wolf found for them were completely different from the silver coins in Naka’s relics and the silver coins on the eldest son of the Earl.
If this silver coin is not a circulating silver coin in the Kingdom of Yas, then it is obvious that it needs to be exchanged or smelted to use these silver coins.
Once the wear and tear occurs, the forty-six silver coins will be very few.
Poverty makes Lu Yu rational.
There is only option two.
Lu Yu came to the main road outside the town, and soon he found that there were many people waiting for the bus with the same idea as himself.
Some of them are adventurers who are full of alcohol and return home.
Some are ordinary people, carefully looking left and right holding the things replaced with the adventurers.
There are also some people who are very bad looking and obviously injured.
In the chatter of this group of people, Lu Yu learned what happened to those who looked bad.
Earl Nott’s eldest son, the unfortunate one who was killed by Lulutis, is the heir that Earl Nott values most.
At a time when the second and youngest sons were unable to inherit the title, the disappearance of the eldest son made Earl Nott extremely anxious.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is useless to be anxious.
There was no news for a whole cold winter.
Five silver coins were offered as a reward for his son’s whereabouts, prompting a large number of low-level adventurers to flock here, hoping to gain something by chance.
However, the monsters and beasts in the mountains and forests have been suppressed for a whole winter. At this time, the snow has melted and they are in an active state.
Therefore, most of the adventurer teams that entered the forest today and continued to penetrate were killed or injured.
A team of steel-level adventurers was even killed, simply because they mistakenly entered the battle zone between the woodland banshee and the slime group.
No motorcade appeared in the direction of King Yas King City, but there was a team of motorcades rushing in from a distance under the setting sun.
Someone with sharp eyes immediately warned people on both sides of the road: “Look at this, it’s a noble, let’s avoid it.”
The road is so wide, do you have to avoid it?
Of course, Lu Yu thought so, but his body faltered back honestly.
Not only did he dodge back, he was also farther away than the others.
Three silver-white knights in top helmets and tuxedos galloped into the town on horseback.
Their helmets were fluttered with the fur of an unknown animal, making them look like a fighting rooster.
After a while, more than a dozen knights in the same costumes appeared in everyone’s field of vision, surrounded by several luxuriously decorated carriages.
The knight on the horse looked at the people on both sides of the road with a look of disdain.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a fruit core flew out.
A drunk adventurer didn’t respond in time and was smashed right in the face.
He subconsciously drew out his weapon, but was hurriedly stopped by his companions.
“Don’t be crazy, do you know what you’re doing?”
“Put it away quickly, if they are serious, you will inevitably be pulled by them to perform in the name of ‘competition’.”
It was too late, the movement of the sword drawing here had already alarmed the knights on horseback, and the three carriages slowly stopped because of the knights.
“Their horses are not mixed blood, but they are much better than the horses that were rented just now.”
Lulutis only said one sentence, but was interrupted by what happened not far away.
“Disrespectful to the lord and the lord’s guests, even drawing out weapons…”
“He’s just a black iron-class adventurer, but he’s very arrogant.”
The knight on the horse got off his horse and slowly approached the group of adventurers.
The drunk adventurer Dahan was completely awake, sweating all over his body, unable to utter a complete sentence.
The companions around him pressed his head and apologized repeatedly in the direction of the carriage, saying that they never meant to offend.
Their low stance didn’t have any good effect, the long spear and giant axe in the knight’s hand had begun to shine.
“Enchanted weapons.” Lulutis said, “It’s a low-quality enchantment again… The grade is really low.”
Lu Yu had no idea about the level of enchantment, and he couldn’t help but feel resentful when he saw the adventurers who were already kneeling on the ground in front of him.
When revising his script, Lulutis said that the status of a nobleman can save him a lot of trouble, and he can get many unimaginable preferential treatment in many countries.
The noble broke into his field of vision in such a way, and he witnessed a group of adventurers who should have returned home happily but could only humbly beg for a way to survive…
Is this the role you want to play?
Can you play by yourself?
Just as the cavalry’s enchanted weapon was about to be raised high, a light male voice came from the carriage, stopping the slaughter that was about to begin.
“Since I have apologized, then I will forgive you.”
“Don’t forget, you are still within the territory of Earl Nott. No matter how free the adventurers are, they are still seeking a living on my father’s territory.”
Saying that, an object smashed into the head of the big man who was hit by the core just now.
Not a hidden weapon, but a fruit.
“It’s your reward, let’s eat it.”
“Remember, this is not an example.”
The carriage started again, and when the knights were all gone, the adventurer who was kneeling on the ground stood up tremblingly.
Lu Yu glanced at the people nearby.
Regrettably, except for those who are also adventurers, ordinary people do not feel this scene, but are glad that the convoy of the merchants just arrived, and they can finally get on the bus.
Some adventurers wanted to curse, but the companions still subconsciously blocked his mouth.
“What are you blocking, what a **** Earl, his territory is almost at risk, so arrogant!”
“You can’t be quiet, there might be a magician in the convoy.” The person who persuaded him was crying, for fear of being implicated.
Following the team, Lu Yu came to the leader of the Xingshang Convoy, found the convoy heading to Wangcheng, paid the price of 79 copper coins, and got a carpool seat.
After the convoy set off slowly, Lu Yu recalled the scene just now in his mind.
“Lulutis, is that the case with nobles?”
“There are good people, and there are bad people.” Lulutis, “I can remember the bad people and the fools that I deal with the most.”
“Today is not the worst. I suggest that you lower your psychological expectations for the nobles.”
