Otherworldly Skeleton

In the north of Heishui City, a human gathering area.

Humans living on the Skull Continent, like normal humans, also need to eat, drink water, wear clothes, and communicate, so most of the skeleton cities have set up human gathering areas for these humans to trade daily necessities inside, but As skeletons recognize the skills of human craftsmen, considering that many aspects depend on human creativity and imagination, there will also be many handicrafts and luxury goods sold in the gathering area. Rich skeletons will buy them to reward their human slaves , to motivate slaves to better work.

"Rental Garden" is the name of a flower shop in the human gathering area. It is named after the capital city of the Lan Empire "Rental" to show the strength of its flower shop, but the fact is also true, this flower shop The scale is indeed the largest in Heishui City.

Lu Yan led Ah Jiu to open the glass door with the "open" sign, and immediately a human boy in his early twenties greeted him: "Master, hello, do you need to buy flowers?"

Lu Yan glanced at Ah Jiu, whose eyes were still a little red, forced a smile at him, and nodded.

Lu Yan took out the cloth strip that Lunzait had written the name of the flower on, and handed it to the young man: "Do you have any of the four kinds of flowers on it?"

The young man finished the cloth strip respectfully with both hands, and after looking at it for the first time, he let out a low exclamation, then quickly swept the cloth strip, and said to Lu Yan in a trembling voice: "My lord, you...you wait a moment. "

Lu Yan watched the young man leave depressedly, thinking that it was just like what Ajiu Lu told himself, these four flowers are not cheap, and the boy in the flower shop was so excited... It seems that he is going to bleed a lot today.

After a while, the little boy came out. He bowed respectfully to Lu Yan, and at the same time waved to the side door of the flower shop: "My lord, since the flowers you bought are very expensive, please go to the back hall to have a look. Our store manager is waiting there for you." you."

At this time, Lu Yan couldn't shrink his head anymore, so he led Ah Jiu and followed the boy into the side door.

A dazzling array of colorful, intoxicating fragrances of flowers and fragrances come bursting out, because it is summer, many flowers bear huge fruits, red, green, big and small, just look at Lu Yan’s head It turns out that behind the side door of the flower shop is a huge flower room with a glass roof covered with black veil for sunshade, well-ventilated louver walls on both sides, and green anti-water stagnation on the ground. Diaphragm, the entire 50-meter-long, ten-meter-wide greenhouse is simply a sea of ​​flowers and a paradise for plants.

"My lord, please go this way." The boy gave Lu Yan a strange look. Few skeletons would be interested in plants, but the surprise and joy on this humanoid skeleton's face were obviously not pretending.

At the end of the greenhouse, there were several small doors, and Lu Yan followed the boy through one of them.

Opening the small door with exquisite wooden reliefs, Lu Yan walked into a small room of less than 200 square meters. He immediately felt a bright light in his eyes. There were dozens of plates of flowers neatly placed in the room, either gorgeous, or Luxurious, beautiful, or stunning, although Lu Yan doesn't know flowers, he can also tell that the flowers in this room are top-grade.

There is a stone platform in the middle of the room, on which four plates of flowers have been placed. An oval skull with a wide skeleton is lying behind the stone platform. Eight thin leg bones protrude from the body of the oval skull, supporting him for three Mido's huge skeleton looks a little uncoordinated, with two rotten bone wings dragging on both sides of the body, and a tubular long bone protruding from the head. This is a relatively rare animal. Bee skeleton.

Bee skeletons are a kind of insect skeletons. All insect skeletons are rare, and no one knows why insects without bones reflect such similar existences in skeletons. However, insect skeletons are indeed indispensable on the Skull Continent. They generally have a weak physique, the underdeveloped bony wings on the back will only bring them pain and obstacles, and the fragile feet make them basically vulnerable, so it is generally difficult for them to live beyond 2 years It is extremely rare for a person like Lu Yan who has developed to have dark bones.

"Hello, my name is Mitchell." The bee skeleton behind the stone platform introduced himself, "I'm the owner of this Renter Garden."

With the mentality of paying tribute to the tenacious will, Lu Yan bowed slightly to Mitchell respectfully: "Dear Mitchell, I admire your strength and wisdom."

"Hehe, you are talking about my frail body." Mitchell laughed indifferently: "While the saint bestowed on me this skeleton, he also gave me wisdom and luck, so I was able to build a Lent Er Garden is also normal, if nothing can be done and it is broken, that is the ability to be ashamed of the saint."

The "sage" in Mitchell's mouth is a god identified by the skeletons, just like the "god" in the mouth of humans, it is a legendary existence.

"You are so humble. The saint treats all skeletons equally. It is your own efforts that have brought about today's achievements." Lu Yan praised sincerely.

Mitchell laughed loudly: "Stop praising me, or I will have to give you these four plates of famous flowers."

"Uh, no matter where, I just express my feelings." Lu Yan waved his hands again and again, he didn't have the habit of making money by saying a few nice words, and his eyes fell on the four flowers on the stone platform.

The four plates of flowers are all covered in a transparent glass cover, which looks very precious. Lu Yan asked strangely: "Boss Mi, this glass cover is..."

"Hehe, Mr. Zhan Gu looks like he doesn't understand flowers. It seems that he bought it for the superior skeleton?" Mitchell guessed the reason of Lu Yan's seasonedly, and pointed to the surrounding flowers with a smile. : "Look, every potted flower in this room is equipped with an 'anti-corrosion cover'. This is because these flowers are rare and precious species that cannot adapt to the environment of the Skull Continent. erodes their health, and without the 'anti-rot shield' they will shrivel and rot within a month."

No wonder, Lu Yan remembered that when the few flowers in Lenzait were smashed, there was no anti-corrosion cover at all, and the flowers and leaves were already rotten. It turned out that the old man didn't know how to grow flowers at all, and he raised all these famous flowers He died, so he had to rely on himself.

"So to cultivate these four kinds of flowers, we must set up anti-corrosion covers for a long time. The money for anti-corrosion covers alone is not cheap." Mitchell glanced at it and said: "This anti-corrosion cover jointly produced by human glass craftsmen and enchanters Covers, each worth 1 cards!"

"..." Lu Yan said, 1 calories is enough to buy 10 kilograms of soul-inducing water, which is enough for an ordinary skeleton to consume soul-inducing water for 5 years. Growing flowers is really a waste of money.

"Boss Mi, what about the four flowers hidden under the anti-corrosion cover, how much do they sell for?" Lu Yan asked after a moment of silence.

"Hehe, let's not talk about the price, the total price is 23 calories."

Hearing Mitchell's indifferent offer, Lu Yan almost wanted to pull out the white bee and shoot him to death, it was too dark!There are only four sets of fragile plants, and the price quoted can already buy a yard as big as Karen Val in Heishui City. This is simply a money grab!

As if seeing Lu Yan's displeasure, Mitchell smiled slightly: "My lord, the golden begonia and the emerald jasmine are all taken from the Ruohuan Mountains in the south of the Ruo Ding Lun mainland, and the snow mountain rose is a specialty of Aiding country. Iron Leaf Conglan is the national flower of the Orchid Empire, and it only grows in the outskirts of Renter. Each plate of flowers has to cross thousands of kilometers of the Orchid Empire's territory, and then the stretch of Vama Grassland, and then in the war-torn land. After spending more than ten days on the Skull Continent, I finally came to Blackwater City and my Renter Garden, do you think they are not worth the price?"

Thinking of the pain of fleeing for thousands of miles on the Varma Grassland, Lu Yan was speechless. It turns out that the origin of these flowers is so extraordinary, but how could the skeletons go deep into the human settlements of the Rudinlun Continent to collect flowers? Could it be that humans took the initiative? Doing business with skeletons? It is said that this kind of behavior was banned by the Lan Empire, so the origin of these flowers is even more extraordinary.

"Okay, anyway, I bought these four flowers." Although Lu Yan was a little depressed, he had goods in his pocket after all. Although 27 bone cards were hard to earn, compared to the peerless tactics Karen Val said However, Lu Yan still prefers the latter.

"However, I want to make a deal with you!" Lu Yan added in time in front of the smiling Mitchell.

Mitchell nodded again and again: "Of course, I've already dealt with the issue of dealers. Just now I only quoted the total price but not the sub-price. I just need you to rank the prices of the four flowers. If they are correct, I will provide 10 % discount, and if you can quote the exact price of each plate of flowers, and the error does not exceed 1 calories, I will provide a 5% discount for each plate that is correct.”

Lu Yan was a little surprised and said: "Boss Mi, it means that you can give me up to 30% of the profit. This is a very favorable condition."

"Haha." Mitchell laughed loudly: "Our skeleton store is to pay attention to the word "distribution". I won't be too proud of your money, Master Zhan Gu, please start trading!"

"Well, okay!" Lu Yan nodded and looked at Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu had already prepared. While Lu Yan and Mitchell were talking, Ah Jiu had been observing the furnishings in the room, observing the position of each flower, the marks on the ground, and the size of the anti-corrosion cover. Observing the height of the flowers, and interrupting the value of the four targets from all kinds of details, when Lu Yan signaled the beginning, she walked steadily towards the stone platform.

Without sloppiness, Ah Jiu quickly arranged the four plates of flowers on the stone platform in order. The iron leaf conglomerate was placed first, then the Phnom Penh crabapple, then the snow mountain rose, and finally the emerald jasmine.

Lu Yan sneaked a peek at Mitchell and saw the expected smile. It seemed that Ah Jiu was right.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Jiu took out the white stone that he carried with him, and after thinking for a while, he began to write on the stone platform next to the four plates of flowers.

"Iron Leaf Conglan: 2 calories!"

"Phnom Penh crabapple: 4 calories!"

"Snow Mountain Rose: 5 calories!"

"Emerald Jasmine: 11 calories!"

After finishing writing, Ah Jiuchong nodded lightly to Lu Yan. She had not yet come out of the grief of being killed by Hong Magu, and she was not in a high mood. Lu Yan patted her delicate shoulder comfortingly, then looked up at Mitchell: "Boss Mi, my business has been placed, please check!"
