The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 942 Fear
The reason why people in the jewelry store took a breath of air after seeing this set of jewelry was because the set of gold jewelry was so realistic that people's first impression after seeing it was: Wow!Is it because there are several snakes, or those snakes that are gaining momentum, the first thought is to feel scared.

Human beings have dealt with snakes in ancient times. Whether it is a poisonous snake or a non-venomous snake, human beings have suffered a lot. There have been cases where they died after being bitten, and there were also cases where they were hanged alive.

This situation is deeply rooted in human DNA. Even though many humans lived in cities and stayed away from snakes later, they would be very nervous when they saw snakes for the first time, and they were more or less afraid of reptiles like snakes.

Therefore, the first time those people saw the set of jewelry, their first feeling was fear, their adrenaline was soaring, and the timid ones almost screamed, their bodies trembling with fright, unable to walk.

The fear from the bottom of the heart makes it possible for people to suffer a crushing defeat. Fortunately, not everyone is so scared that they can't stand it. Those who are more courageous are afraid that they will be ready to catch things and kill snakes, and they are unwilling to catch them without a fight.

Before the real action, someone remembered Ling Xiao on the opposite side, and seeing the old god on the other side, remembered that the jewelry mentioned just now, naturally it couldn't be a real snake, so he came back to his senses, looked at the jewelry set carefully, Let others calm down.

After the people in the jewelry store came back to their senses, they found that the oolong was just a manufactured jewelry, but they frightened themselves, thinking it was a real snake, so funny!
After recovering, they found that their foreheads and backs were sweating profusely, because they really felt that kind of fear—the fear from the bottom of their hearts, which made people lose their composure.

After they calmed down, they found that besides the lifelike body of the snake, the eyes of all the snakes were shiny green, originally inlaid with sapphires (1), and the green eyes made people feel that they were real snakes.

Wow!This is really too similar, and people who are caught off guard will only see it as a real snake, which will make people who see it feel a little unacceptable for a while.

The fear in their hearts made them completely lose their ability to judge, and they took the fake as real.If it wasn't for Ling Xiao sitting there motionless, I'm afraid they really wanted to smash jewelry with things.

Waiting for them to come out of their fear and look at it from the perspective of tasting, they will find that this set of jewelry is so well made that it really makes people want to see it again and again.

In fact, reptiles such as snakes represent an unspeakable danger to humans, but it does not mean that there are no people who like snakes among humans. Some people like snakes from the bottom of their hearts, and even regard some snakes as their favorite. pets.

Although most human beings have a respectful attitude towards snakes, I don’t know if it’s because of the mystery that snakes carry. In many fairy tales, there are often beauties transformed by snakes.

Even in the era of word of mouth, there are stories of snakes turning into humans, and there are certain intimate stories with humans, but later the snake demon’s human design gradually changed to a certain extent. Even though the snake had a human form before, it mostly retained too much animality. , and then gradually became more human.

The most obvious representative is the changes in "The Legend of the White Snake". Most people in later generations will feel helpless because of the separation and reunion between Xu Xian and the White Snake, and they like the virtuous and intelligent Bai Suzhen in the story very much.

But this beautiful legend was not so good at the beginning. A story related to the Legend of the White Snake is "The Story of the White Snake" in the legend of Tang Dynasty. The male protagonist Li Huang hangs out with a young woman in white for three days. There was a fishy smell, and Li Huang's body turned into yellow water afterward, leaving only a head.

EMMMMMMMM!No matter how you look at it, this White Snake Story is not a so-called romance story, but more like a thriller story. Thinking that Li Huang, who fell in love with a demon, will eventually become a so-called yellow water, probably no one will think that he is very lucky. .

The story of The White Snake still existed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but it began to change somewhat. It was changed more severely in the Ming Dynasty. The location changed from Chang'an to Lin'an, and the hero was replaced by Xu Xian. After marrying the White Snake, it was considered a loving couple. But they were dismantled by Fahai, and the White Snake was suppressed in Leifeng Pagoda. The story became tortuous and beautiful.

Of course, the heroine in the story, the White Snake, has also changed her personality, from a bad fairy who absorbs the spirit of a man to a beauty who wants to repay her kindness, which greatly embodies the good side of human nature in the White Snake.

The story of the White Snake and the Story of the White Snake in this period are completely different stories. The story of the White Snake reflects that most humans have some mysterious affection for snakes. In the story, the white snake and the green snake are transformed into great beauties. Snakes are beautiful.

In reality, snakes have not very good-looking colors, which are evolved for their own survival. In fact, it is not bad-looking, but they are inferior in comparison.

There are too many types of snakes, and naturally there are so-called beauty snakes. Some snakes are pure colors, such as white snakes, and have a pair of red eyes. The pictures are absolutely beautiful.

There are also some snakes with many kinds of colors. No matter how you look at the color matching, it will feel quite bold, but it is extremely harmonious and beautiful. If the arrangement of scales is enlarged, it will feel very harmonious.

So even if people see snakes and feel the danger from their hearts, they have to admit that they look very beautiful.It's an ambivalent feeling that sticks in people's minds.

It is precisely because of this that some people may not like this set of jewelry. After all, people’s fears are not easy to resolve. People who are particularly afraid of snakes will never take it off, because this set of jewelry is too snake-like.

This kind of fear will directly exclude it from the scope of one's liking, which is a very normal reaction. Relatively speaking, the audience of the whole set of jewelry will be smaller.

But it doesn't mean that no one likes it, because snakes have a characteristic, and they have a kind of extreme elegance in a dangerous atmosphere. This set of jewelry is also the same. The two qualities of elegance and danger are intertwined. A jewelry set just got more sought after.

Why do you say that?Don’t think that the niche will definitely be cheap. Because the niche people like less things, they naturally care more about the things they like, and they don’t want to have the things they like. They are more active in grabbing goods, especially in this kind of luxury jewelry. reflected more clearly.

You must know that the biggest customer base of jewelry is the nobles. As the richest and most leisurely people in the world, Dan Teng, who is often idle, likes to compare the most. Once he sees something he likes, he will definitely start to compete for financial resources.

People in the jewelry store have good eyesight, so they naturally know this rule, and they are not afraid of this set of jewelry falling into their hands, and the workmanship on this set of jewelry is really good.

This is specially designed by Ling Xiao to suit the aesthetics of most people, and the inlaid green sapphire is also a rare gemstone. These conditions make the set of jewelry difficult to copy.

Even if it is copied, because of the difference in craftsmen and the relationship between gemstones, it may not be able to meet the standard of that set of jewelry, so this set of jewelry has a lot of room for appreciation, and the jewelry store that received the jewelry is really too happy up.

Monte stared straight at this set of jewelry, unwilling to blink his eyes. When he saw the last one, he had to admit that it was the most amazing piece of all jewelry. Although the subject matter was less popular, it would definitely make people like it. People are rushing to ask for it.

It's not that other jewelry is bad, but it's not as stunning after the jewelry store has similar styles, but there is an advantage, that is, the audience is very wide, and there is absolutely no worry about not being able to sell.

Fortunately, those jewels are all real materials, and the quality of the gemstones is guaranteed. It will definitely be a good thing if the jewelry store can accept them this time.

As the person in charge——Monte secretly rejoiced that he took this transaction seriously, so he didn't anger this big client, otherwise these few sets of jewelry would not fall into his hands.

Others checked the jewelry very carefully. Although the hardness of the gemstones was not low, they were still very fragile. It didn't matter if some gemstones were slightly bumped, but if they fell off, the gemstones would often be damaged.

There are also some that are more fragile, not to mention falling, even a slight collision may collapse.In addition, they should not encounter overheating environment when wearing them, and even skin care products should not touch gemstones. As jewelers, they are very clear and pay special attention to the integrity of gemstones.

That's why the person who takes over will be so careful, for fear that there will be flaws due to his own carelessness.After some inspection, it was found to be very good, and it was a perfect work in their eyes.

Ling Xiao felt a little pity, because of the gem processing technology in this world, those gems did not come up with the cutting method of later generations, otherwise there would definitely be fire, and the gems would be even more vibrant.

Ling Xiao absolutely didn't say anything about this. She quietly watched those people test the sets of jewelry. Obviously, they didn't want to modify these jewelry this time, because they were beautiful enough.

Monte bargained with Ling Xiao carefully, but in the end he didn't lower the price much. The other party had his own plans, and those jewelry were perfect enough, and the other party was unwilling to give up the price. The jewelry store was eager to get those jewelry, so they had to back down.

Ling Xiao didn't go too far, leaving some profit margins for the jewelry store. In fact, she didn't think that the jewelry store would lose money, and those profiteers would never stop unless they made a big profit.Ling Xiao naturally sells, and it is possible to get more profits.

But Ling Xiao doesn't have that time to spend with many customers. If he sells those jewelry by himself, the price may drop, which is more dangerous, and the jewelry store will increase the value of jewelry.

Anyway, with enough benefits, Ling Xiao didn't care what the jewelry store was going to do. It was not Ling Xiao's responsibility to sell the goods, and she got part of the gold coins.

Because the transaction volume is too large this time, the jewelry store will not be able to get out so many gold coins for a while, and the working capital still needs to be raised to get it together, and it is absolutely impossible to get it out now.

Therefore, Ling Xiao made a regulation with the jewelry company. She now takes part of the gold coins, and a large part of the money belongs to the promissory note, which the jewelry company will pay in succession in the following years.

Afterwards, the two parties signed a contract. If the jewelry store's promissory note is not given by then, Ling Xiao has the right to take back his jewelry. Naturally, Monte will not let this happen.

He didn't know why Ling Xiao was so confident at the beginning, but when he saw Ling Xiao smash a rock with a light punch, he knew how powerful the opponent was. This person's personal force value is too strong, so he must not offend him.Don't look at whether he has support behind him, just look at his ability to know that it is not easy to mess with.

Ling Xiao easily left the city and told Monte to put the remaining gold coins in another city in a year, and she would take the voucher to withdraw the money at that time, believing that the jewelry store had enough gold coins to pay the remaining payment at that time.

Monte naturally agreed repeatedly, and he also thought that he could get more jewelry styles from Ling Xiao again, and he could sell these jewelry within a year.

After leaving the words, Ling Xiao left the city and changed her clothes again. It was precisely because of her repeated changes of clothes that those who wanted to find her couldn't find her at all, and she disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ling Xiao was walking slowly on the road, and she deliberately searched for news about the blonde beauty and Tracy, only to find out that the two Neptunes had separated.

what!Really too dedicated, the two are fighting for the great cause of the blonde beauty to protect the country.I really don't give up!As soon as Ling Xiao heard it, he knew that the two of them were determined to fight like Xiaoqiang who couldn't be beaten to death.

How did they separate?Ling Xiao really wanted to lock up the two Neptunes so that they could harm each other. Don't just use your looks to commit murders and discharge electricity to hook up with others just because you are beautiful.

To put it bluntly, ordinary people really can't handle a Neptune of this level.Who makes two people really look beautiful, there are many people who pay for them like moths to a flame.

In fact, what people who lick GOUs do is their own business. It belongs to personal freedom. Ling Xiao will never sympathize with those who lick GOUs. Ling Xiao sympathizes with relatives who lick GOUs. The benefits do not necessarily account for the disadvantages. Can't run away.

The reason why Ling Xiao often hears news about blonde beauties during his stay in big cities is because those news are more or less sensual, and this kind of news is easy to spread.

After Ling Xiao knew it, he just listened to it, without paying much attention or speculating.She doesn't trust the gossip very much, and someone will definitely add fuel to the story in the process of passing it around.

Especially the news about the upper class coming from the mouths of ordinary people, I am afraid that it will be even more distorted, because ordinary people have no idea what the situation in the upper class is like, and the situation will be changed again and again by adding oil and vinegar, and it may be completely changed. Not real news.

The reason why Ling Xiao said this is because he remembered a joke once: it was said that the country people were wondering what the emperor used, and that the emperor used a golden pole, hahaha!How could the emperor use a golden pole?

In the eyes of those who know the real life of the royal family, the so-called rumors are more of a joke, so Ling Xiao only listens to the so-called gossip, and doesn't pay much attention to it.

She walked slowly along the way, and finally got the rest of the gold coins. The people in the jewelry store kept their promises and paid all the gold coins. In fact, the jewelry store didn't suffer at all, and the jewelry made them a lot of money.

After getting the money, she thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go to the original territory of the Saint Laurent Kingdom to make troubles. After all, the blonde beauty's heart is to restore the country.

What Ling Xiao has to do is to prevent the restorer from being able to restore the country. In fact, Ling Xiao thinks it is very strange. enter?

It was only after she arrived that she realized that the land that had no owner naturally had a new lord.It's just that those so-called lords are mostly unsatisfactory nobles, and there are no powerful people here at all.

Even Ling Xiao heard that some lords were descendants of aristocrats who were enslaved by human traffickers. They were later rescued, but their original positions were taken away and they never came back. The compensation they got in the end was the land of the abandoned Saint Laurent Kingdom. .

He obviously has a very bright future, but he was framed because of the good future, and when he was rescued, he was robbed of everything. He couldn't even complain, and he couldn't get everything back.

And all the bad things come from being taken away. The reason why the traffickers are so arrogant is also from the Kingdom of Saint Laurent, so they don't have a good impression of the so-called Kingdom of Saint Laurent at all, and those who react the most are not willing to set foot on it. that land.

Most of the Kingdom of Saint Laurent practiced slavery before, and those slave owners only cared about their own lives and squeezed the slaves, without thinking about the development of the entire kingdom, resulting in the Kingdom of Saint Laurent being the most backward place among all the kingdoms.

The Kingdom of Saint Laurent also has a good place, that is, the place where the slave nobles lived, but because of the war, the best places were smashed and robbed, and the original site was covered with many bones, causing it to be abandoned .

The site of the abandoned kingdom was not favored by the so-called nobles. They basically still lived in the original place, and there was no order established by the nobles on the ruins.

This place does not have the protection of the real nobles, which is why the blond beauty wants to restore the country. It is a good place for the blond beauty with less resistance.

　(1) Among gems, all corundum except ruby ​​is called sapphire, that is to say, yellow, green, blue and other corundum are collectively called sapphire.
