Civilization Guardian Front

A well-trained receptionist bows and folds his hands in front of his belly.

"God, you are..." When she raised her face and recognized the guest's face, she couldn't help covering her small mouth with her hand.

"Master Chios Pesheim, "Sword of Dawn", it is the honor of my life to entertain you. "

"Shh..." Chios raised his index finger to his lips, implying the clerk to keep a low profile.

"I want to decorate my girlfriend's slender and beautiful neck with jewelry, please recommend it."

Chios stared directly at the necklace display case.

He would never give a woman a ring lightly.

It's okay to give necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and earrings, but rings are absolutely unacceptable...

Regardless of which finger the current size of purchase is for, as long as a woman so desires, there is always a way to adjust the ring size so that it fits perfectly on her left ring finger.

The meaning of the wedding ring is too sensitive, and it can easily cause a bloodbath, even Chios will not be stupid enough to violate this taboo.

Chapter 570 Five? It's All Your Fault

""Eternal Morning Dew", weighing 5.03 carats, is a fancy vivid blue diamond that I believe is the best in terms of appearance, color, and clarity..."

The chief appraiser of GC&B carefully held a wooden box in silk gloves, walked slowly to the display stand, and at the same time did not forget to explain to the distinguished guests:

"In order to reflect the natural light blue luster of the diamond, our shop asked a goldsmith to inlay it in the center of the leaf-shaped emerald pendant. The chain and the pendant are made of 90% pure platinum alloy, so you can wear it with peace of mind even if you have sensitive skin."

The moment the box lid was lifted, the light in the room seemed to dim for a short time, and the lights of several magic stones placed on the wall quickly converged to one point as if they were attracted by the things in the box.

Such as the morning dew on the treetops, and the faint blue halo produced when the sun reflects.

Alicia suddenly held her breath.

Although she is not a vain girl, but...

But this gem is just so beautiful.

Cut into a complex and symmetrical diamond crown by skilled craftsmen, it reflects the brilliance of different shades, just like a Wanhua mirror.Just stand one step away and stare at it, and everything else in the field of vision suddenly loses its color.

The only exception might be Chios' neat profile...

That's enough to kill.

Coincidentally, the design necklace adopts the theme of leaf dew, which perfectly hits her aesthetics as an elf, and balances artificial craftsmanship and natural beauty to the extreme.

Staring blankly at the jewelry in the wooden box, Alicia stretched out her hand involuntarily.

"!"

When he was about to touch the diamond, he retracted in fear.

The terrified elf was short of breath, like a young dragon whose head had just touched a crystal treasure, his eyes clearly shone with longing, but he flinched because of his lack of confidence in himself.

Chios on the side was completely indifferent, picked up the necklace as if nothing had happened, placed it under the light, and carefully admired the jewel in the center of the pendant.

Based on the knowledge accumulated in the Gemological Institute of America GIA’s graduate gemologist diploma, combined with the observation of extraordinary eyesight, he came to a conclusion calmly in his heart:

(It is indeed a vivid Greenish-Blue, the cut is in line with the ratio of hearts and arrows, the clarity is probably between VS1-VS2, and the value is at least 500 million euros.)

"How much does it cost?"

"Twelve million Farley." Witnessing Chios' calm expression as he looked at the diamond, the chief appraiser wisely gave up the idea of ​​raising the price.

"So expensive!?"

Alicia was so scared that she took several steps back on the spot.

This is a huge amount of money to order mid-to-high-end second-tier weapons, and it is not much different from the "magician's sharp sword" she is currently using.

Patting her heart to calm her emotions, she noticed that Chios also raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then his hanging heart relaxed a little.

Sure enough, Chios also thought the price was too outrageous...

"make a deal."

Hearing the young man's firm voice without any reluctance, Alicia froze in place.

"Ai ai ai~~~" The elf, who was in a mess of thoughts, finally came back from the trance state, and immediately grabbed the young man's sleeve and shook it desperately.

"Come on...hey, let's go home, Chios?"

From the corner of the eye, he saw the performance of the elf Xiaoling, and Chios could hardly hold back the urge to laugh out loud.

Speaking incoherently, it was obvious that Alicia was really frightened by the huge amount.

It's a pity that Chios, who is used to the commodity value of the earth in the 21st century, has no thought of repenting at all.

"Take it."

He grasped falsely with his left hand, and a money bag full of large-denomination fare appeared out of thin air, and was handed over to the appraiser's trembling palm.

Looking at it now, although the price level of basic living materials in this world is close to the environment in which I grew up in the past, it is still far behind in the hype of real estate and luxury goods.

Perhaps these businessmen feel that what they have earned is huge profits, and if they raise the price again, maybe even the conscience that is left in their hearts will feel pain.

However, in the eyes of Chios, selling a five-carat diamond with a color and clarity that can be said to be one in a million is a free gift.

Chios, who always fights against a large number of low-level and deep-level monsters with a few strikers, and has a space for heraldry to store dropped items, makes money more efficiently than adventurers of the same level who need to carefully calculate the backpack load. On average, the daily income Up to millions of fares, they don't care about this expense at all.

"Didn't I just tell you before, don't stop me..."

The young man smiled softly, twisted the two ends of the necklace with his hands, turned to face the dazed elf, and tied the "Eternal Morning Dew" on the other side.

When wearing a necklace for a woman, he always stands in front of her, not behind her.

Since the chain hook is tied to the nape of the neck, during the process, the two are bound to hug each other in an intimate gesture.

chirp...

Kissing Alicia's clean and flawless neck, Chios lifted the pendant on the other's chest with his index finger, and let the slightly cold gem stick to the woman's delicate chin.

The bewildering blue light of the diamond, combined with the dark purple eyes of the young man with magic power, instantly deprived the elf girl of her mind.

"When you come out to date with me in the future, don't forget to wear it."

"Um..."

Alicia, who didn't know what she should reply at all, could only nod obediently.

...

After leaving the jewelry store GC&B, after buying tickets to watch the opera, Chios took Alicia's hand and walked out of the theater, looking up at the sky reflexively.

The setting sun sinks towards the western horizon at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire sky has been dyed red by the setting sun.

bad...

His complexion changed slightly, and he quickly dragged Alicia into the carriage waiting at the entrance of the theater.

"Send us to the Twilight Pavilion immediately."

Kara!Kara...

Although the coachman who was ordered didn't understand why the employer was so anxious, he dutifully swung his whip and drove the horses to the North Street at high speed.

"Qios, what's the matter?" Next to Chios, Alicia rested her face on her sweetheart's shoulder, her eyes showing concern.

"Sorry, I still have some things to do before the evening, I didn't expect the time with you to be so happy that I accidentally forgot the time, so I'm a little rushed now..."

Alicia didn't have any doubts about Chios' reply.

"Sorry, it's all my fault."

"Indeed, it's all your fault..."

Under Alicia's astonished gaze, Chios pinched the tip of her nose with his index finger and shook it from side to side.

"If it weren't for your special exception, how could I have made such a stupid mistake?"

pounding...

Alicia could clearly hear the beating of her heart.

"You, you are really..."

Hate.

Unable to utter the last words of the sentence, she could only shyly bury her blushing face into Chios's chest, preventing him from seeing her embarrassing appearance at the moment.

With his arms around the elf's slender body, Chios silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily she didn't realize something was wrong...

In fact, the reason why he ordered the coachman to hurry was not at all for the matter just mentioned.

Soon, it will be the peak time for adventurers to return to the surface.

Move a little slower, maybe you will meet Tifa and Aisi who have returned from exploration...

Chapter 570: Battle of wits and courage

17:04

The carriage drove into the gate of the outer wall of the Rocky family stronghold, slowed down and stopped in front of the towering castle.

The two horses dragging the carriage all the way from the bustling street neighed and panted, as if complaining that the coachman squeezed their energy too much, and repeatedly scratched the ground with their front hooves.

Inside the car...

"Today..." Alicia wanted to say something more, but she swallowed the words that came to her lips considering that Chios had something urgent to do.

"Thank you."

Cherry lips approached the young man's face and pecked lightly, intending to act like a mature woman, but the elf whose ears were still rosy hurriedly pushed open the car door and trotted towards the main building of the Twilight Pavilion.

Chios watched Alicia go away, and then he couldn't help smiling when he saw the car door that the other party forgot to close, hanging like a lone leaf.

swish...

A silver light appeared on the back of the right hand, and the surging wind swept up the scent of women's body fragrance in the room and a few strands of golden hair on the seat cushion, and threw them out of the car.

Then he drew the "water" rune, and pointed the sword at his chest.

The clean water formed by magic followed the light blue light and penetrated into every part of the clothes. After washing the whole body within a few seconds, it gathered into a water polo at the fingertips of the young man.

With a flick of the fingers, the water polo shot out at high speed and quickly disappeared from sight.

Get it done.

Now, even the dog-man werewolf, who was famous for his sense of smell, couldn't smell anything suspicious from Chios.

This is the rune cleaning technique he researched out of boredom while exploring the dungeon recently, and it has more uses than expected.However, Chios did not inform his partner of the result because he was not helpful in battle.

Knock clang!

After closing the door and buckling the latch with his backhand, Chios stretched out his index finger and opened a gap in the black window screen to observe the outside environment.

There were obviously more adventurers coming and going on the street than before, but Tifa and Aisi were not found.

That's right, there are still more than 20 minutes left before the real peak time for the return of the adventurers.Currently, there are mainly rookies who explore the upper layer and are the closest to the surface.As for the advanced adventurers who are active in the deeper part of the labyrinth, it is usually not so fast.

The probability of what Chios was concerned about happening could be said to be extremely low.

But he didn't mind unnecessary actions at all, after all, there was nothing wrong with being prepared.

A competent publicist is always ready to meet acquainted women anytime and anywhere.

Taking out the pipe and filling it with shredded tobacco, Chios pushed away the mask of the sound transmission hole and told the driver:

"Go to the Hephaestus Arms Shop on NW Main Street."

"Understood."

The carriage shook slightly, and the horses, which had been resting in the open space outside the city for a short time, turned around under the control of the driver, and headed towards the noisy streets outside the stronghold.

call...

Slowly exhaling gray smoke, Chios leaned back on the chair cushion and closed his eyes to rest.

hiss!

The unexpected Ma Ming came with the inertia of leaning forward, forcing the young man to open his eyes again.

It seemed that there was an obstacle blocking the path.
