I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses
Chapter 27 Scrooge
Chapter 27 Scrooge
A few hours later, in the empire, Li Yuan and Zhen Na, who had been disguised, walked one after the other along the avenue.
Zhenna changed into a dancer's costume and covered her face with a veil.
On the other hand, Li Yuan was wearing the traveling cloak that troubadours often wear, and he also carried a beautifully crafted lute on his back.
The two looked like entertainers traveling together. After a brief discussion, they adopted this disguise to operate within the empire.
It is not difficult for them to sneak into the empire. Zhenna is very clear about the distribution of checkpoints on the border of the empire. As long as Li Yuan slightly controls his size in the form of a dragon, and then flies from a high altitude with the cover of clouds, it is easy to avoid people's eyes and ears.
"Gannon, don't keep your face dark? It's too eye-catching." Zhen Na whispered to Li Yuan.
"I see." Li Yuan responded, trying to adjust his facial expression.
But after a while, he couldn't help but face again.
His face was quite majestic, but with such a serious expression, even if he didn't release the dragon's power, it was enough to make passers-by shy away.
Seeing him like this, Zhenna sighed: "What happened? Can it make you so unhappy?"
At that time, Zhenna had been waiting in a deserted place in the suburbs to avoid being recognized, while Li Yuan went to a second-hand clothing store in the town alone to buy clothes for disguise.
After meeting again, Zhen Na noticed that Li Yuan's face was dark all the time, and he was sullen when talking to him.
This made Zhenna a little worried. Could it be that Gannon had a friction with someone in the town?
When the red dragon gets angry, he will kill without hesitation.Although Ganon was very different from the red dragon she knew, she had also seen Ganon's ruthless side when he slaughtered the knight team.
Li Yuan didn't answer Zhenna's words, he was really embarrassed to tell Zhenna that the reason for his unhappiness was only because of spending money.
Except for the lute, which was collected in the cellar of the Red Dragon, all their clothes were bought from a second-hand clothes store in another town.
These clothes were bought with the treasure of the Red Dragon Helganon, that is, Li Yuan's own money.
Because they were old clothes, they only cost a dozen or so copper coins. Compared with the hills of gold coins piled up in the cellar, they were nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
But when paying the money, Li Yuan felt a strong resistance, which even made him think of simply grabbing the clothes and running away.
Fortunately, reason stopped him in time, but when he took out the money, he still felt heartbroken like a knife.
"Customer, customer?" The shopkeeper stretched out his hand, but saw that he was holding on to the money tightly and did not let go.
"Well, take it." Li Yuan said so, but didn't let go.
"Uh...then please give it to me." The owner said helplessly.
Li Yuan just opened his fingers little by little, and when the copper coins fell from between his fingers one by one, his brows were tightly wrinkled together, showing a distressed look.
"How unwilling to pay is this!"
The owner has lived for so long, and this is the first time he has encountered such a customer.
Even Li Yuan himself felt very puzzled. When he was a human being in the past, he didn't think he was very generous, but he could never be a person who was stingy to this extent.
Reason told him that this was a necessary expense, and it was only a small amount of money, but he couldn't help but feel bitter about it.
This probably can only be explained by the nature of the red dragon.
From a human point of view, the degree to which the giant dragon cherishes its treasures can indeed be said to have reached a pathological level.
Most of the gold, silver, jewels and treasures they collect will never be used in their lifetime, they are just stored in the dark depths of the dragon's nest for them to watch and be complacent.
The increase of treasure will make the dragon feel great satisfaction and joy, on the contrary, even if the collection is missing even one coin, it will make a dragon feel pain and anger.
A red dragon may even go out to slaughter the village to vent its anger because a few gold coins were stolen from the treasury.
No, absolutely not!
Li Yuan took a deep breath and kept reminding himself not to be influenced by this nature.
I will never be Grandet, the so-called money is for spending!
"Ganoen, did nothing really happen? You..." Zhenna paused, and asked cautiously, "Have you had a dispute with someone?"
She really didn't dare to ask the other party if he killed him or not.
"Of course not, why do you think so?"
Li Yuan answered with a calm expression, trying to divert his attention away from the heartache of spending money.
"Really not? But you seemed...a little angry just now?" Zhenna confirmed.
"It's okay, I'm just upset because..." Li Yuan thought for a while, and made up a reason, "I accidentally stepped on something dirty on the road."
"That's right..." Zhenna was slightly relieved when she heard this.
"Sorry to make you worry." Li Yuan said, looking forward, "Is that the Holy Wing Cathedral?"
From here, you can already see the gorgeous dome of the Church of the Sun at the end of the road.
That church is exactly the Holy Wing Cathedral that Zhenna said was enshrining the artifact.
"Yes, that's right there." Zhenna replied.
Li Yuan felt that his mood had eased, and he even had a sense of accomplishment.
I finally overcame the negative emotions caused by the instinct of this giant dragon body.
At this moment, Zhenna glanced at him and said, "Ganoen, actually, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Speak." Li Yuan responded casually.
"Can you... lend me some money?" Zhenna asked cautiously.
Li Yuan suddenly froze.
Seeing his reaction, Zhenna also subconsciously stopped, feeling uneasy.
But soon, Li Yuan returned to normal, and replied nonchalantly: "Do you want to buy something back? Yes, how much do you want to borrow?"
Li Yuan kept reminding himself in his heart that he should not be swayed by Long's greedy and stingy nature.
Zhenna is now living in the Tower of Infinity, and she should have a lot of daily necessities that need to be purchased. This time it is rare to come to the civilized world. She is penniless, so naturally she can only borrow money from here.
Anyway, it shouldn't cost a lot of money...
"Is a gold coin okay?" Zhenna asked in a low voice.
"A gold coin!?" Li Yuan's voice suddenly raised a bit, "Why do you want so much money?"
"I..." Zhenna shrank her shoulders in fright, "I want to donate it to the church..."
"Donate to the church!?" Li Yuan almost yelled out the words, and even clenched his fists subconsciously.
This prodigal bitch actually wants to take his precious gold coins and give them to the church for free?What a joke!
The red dragon's nature emerged again, and a violent emotion suddenly surged up. At this moment, he wanted to beat Zhenna a little bit.
You must know that just agreeing to pay the money is already a big concession for him now, and spending the money on such meaningless things is simply an insult to the gold coins in his treasury!
His voice drew the attention of several passers-by, but no one felt that something was wrong, and their argument looked like a husband berating his prodigal wife.
"Listen to my explanation!" Zhenna hurriedly made a "shh" gesture, leaned closer to Li Yuan and lowered her voice, "I have to see Bishop Marcel to talk to him, but Bishop Marcel generally doesn't entertain believers alone. So we first donate to the church, and then find a reason to see Bishop Marcel, so that the church will give us face and summon us."
After Li Yuan heard this, his anger calmed down. Money is an almost omnipotent stepping stone, and this reason is quite legitimate.
Seeing that the other party's expression softened slightly, Zhenna tried to add another sentence: "After seeing Bishop Marcel, I will help you get the money back!"
"...Okay then." Speaking of this, Li Yuan had no choice but to agree.
He took out a gold coin and handed it to Zhenna.
"Thank you." Zhen Na stretched out her hand to take the gold coin, but found that Li Yuan's fingers were firmly gripping the gold coin, motionless.
"That, Ganon?" Zhenna raised her face to look at Li Yuan with some doubts.
Li Yuan raised his other hand and patted the hand holding the gold coin, gritted his teeth and let go of the gold coin.
