My wife is a dragon
Chapter 235 - Traveled through the wrong time
In the dark alley where the sun cannot shine.
The buildings on both sides are like tall giants, completely blocking the light from the horizon.
There is an unknown black smelly water flowing at the feet, and fresh blood mixed with rotten smell permeates the air. The scales and organs of the monsters just hunted are cut into pieces and piled in the corner.
The merchants with dull and yellow faces sit cross-legged on both sides of the alley. They wear hoods, cross their hands in their sleeves, and doze against the wall.
A pair of shrewd and thin eyes emerge from the slits of their eyes, scanning up and down.
When seeing a rich businessman or someone wearing gorgeous clothes, the weak eyes will become covetous, and the unconcealed eyes are like looking at some kind of lamb to be slaughtered.
Lucia followed Xia Li quietly.
She was attracted by the bloody wolf head on the wall.
Swallowed quietly.
When she saw this bloody thing again, her first reaction was not to destroy or devour it instinctively, but to avoid it.
It was really scary...
She was a dragon who didn't even dare to kill fish. Now this thing appeared in front of her, which was somewhat restricted.
Lucia retracted her gaze after shrinking her hand and secretly glanced at Xia Li beside her.
Xia Li looked thoughtful the whole time, as if he was troubled by some problems.
Lucia had been to a place like the "black market" before.
The things sold here are mostly body parts of hunted monsters, occasionally interspersed with some scales and claws of mixed dragons, and some unpopular magic props.
The quality of the things here is lower than that of traditional auctions, but because of the large price fluctuations, if you are lucky, you can get a bargain, but if you are unlucky, it is also very likely to buy fakes.
Buying good or bad depends on your ability.
But there is one thing Lucia is very clear.
No matter how Xia Li wants to bargain, at least he needs the universal currency of this world.
She and Xia Li don't have any money at all.
Do they just rely on robbing?
Gu...
Such a small town can be flattened in a minute.
If Xia Li agrees, she can do it right away!
"Do you want to take the things?"
Lucia was excitedly looking forward to what would happen next.
However, Xia Li had no intention of drawing his sword, but squatted in front of a fat man with a full face who looked richer than the surrounding vendors.
"Click, "
As soon as the fat man looked over, Xia Li took out a small square box and flipped the switch.
Accompanied by a crisp sound, a string of flames emerged without any warning.
There was no trace of magic, and there was no magic spell on the small box.
This... is a magic prop that can completely hide the magic ripples!
A rare commodity!
Lucia's eyes lit up.
Then, in the almost stunned eyes of the fat man, she pursed her lips and secretly smiled.
If it was her a year ago, she would probably scream: high-level fire magic!
But now, she only wants to say three words.
Lighter.
"How many do you have?"
The fat man folded his arms, and after a flash of shock in his eyes, he pretended to be calm and said indifferently.
He did not intend to ask what this thing was. After all, if he really asked like this, it would prove that he lacked some information.
For a transaction in the black market, this behavior of "I don't know" is equivalent to showing weakness.
It is equivalent to letting the other party slaughter him openly.
So, even if he had never seen a lighter before, the fat man did not show his novelty.
"Such a precious thing, of course I only have one."
Xia Li put the lighter in his pocket, and took out a flashlight and a can of... bubble water?
... What kind of small rags are always available at home.
Lucia's eyes were dazed.
And that bubble water, wasn't it the waste that Xia Li threw away a few days ago because he disliked it and it was everywhere in the house!
Xia Li showed the items one by one in front of the fat merchant.
Then, he offered a price.
"A total of 1,000 gold coins."
"..."
The fat merchant paused, and a complex expression flashed across his face.
He could roughly guess that the three items shown by the young man earlier were not offensive.
But the ornamental and rareness were definitely top-notch.
They had extremely high collection value.
Even if they were not kept privately, they could be sold to the daughters of nobles, or even the royal family of the imperial capital, and it would definitely make money.
The fat merchant's eyes swept from the young man to the girl behind him.
The girl looked cold and had a very good aura. He could feel the strange magic fluctuations from her.
Judging from the clothes of the two people in front of him, they must be extraordinary.
It was reasonable for them to take out such treasures.
"50 gold coins can buy a suitable two-story house in the prosperous area of Tarot City. Your price is a bit exaggerated... I am willing to pay 500 gold coins at most."
Here comes the ultimate price game.
Xia Li pressed down the corners of his mouth, as if he was not willing.
In fact, he had already started laughing wildly in his heart.
Cut in half, as expected.
"950."
Xia Li hesitated for a moment before deciding to give in.
The fat businessman had no choice but to wave his hand.
"Tarot City is not a rich place. The gap between the rich and the poor here is not as big as that of the imperial capital, and the purchasing power is completely insufficient... I carry a total of 550 gold coins, which is the ultimate I can pay..."
"make a deal."
As if he was afraid that the big fat fish he caught would run away, Xia Li took out all three things he had just shown without saying a word.
“…”
The fat businessman pondered for a moment when he saw this scene.
The black market not only sells things, but also buys things.
Although the three things in the other party’s hands may not be of much use, the price is the seldom and the exquisite production craftsmanship.
Just think of it as buying a gambling stone...
He felt a sense of confidence and a bag of gold coins was taken out of the iron box behind him.
make a deal.
The sound of gold coins is more pleasant than any metal sound in the world.
Xia Li's wrist sank.
It's estimated to weigh three pounds.
Three kilograms of gold!
Even if there is a poor quality of gold, you can buy a lot of things on the earth!
What should I do if I take the veterinary qualification certificate?
If he buys and sells directly in two worlds, won’t he make a profit directly?
However... on Earth, a large amount of gold pours into the market, but it will be investigated at home.
You still have to be more cautious.
"Xia Li...we can change the nest."
After Xia Li got the gold coin bag, she threw all the money to Lucia.
Let your wife look at the money, this is the standard for outstanding men in Shu Province.
There is nothing safer than putting money on Lucia.
This dragon is very thrifty and thrifty.
Lucia hurriedly tied the wallet around her waist and patted her hands, feeling satisfied.
I wish I could go home and spread the gold coins flat on the bed immediately, and then she wanted to lie in the pile of gold coins and have a good sleep.
"The style of this gold coin...what is it from the gold coin?"
Xia Li touched a gold coin and looked around in the dim alley.
On the front of the gold coin is a fuzzy carved lion's head, and on the back is a sun flower.
A style I've never seen before.
He turned his head and saw the fat businessman looking at him in confusion, Xia Li continued to add.
"Oh, I'm a foreigner, so I came here across the ocean."
"Lyon Empire, Tarot City is the territory of the Lyon Empire, you don't know that?"
The fat businessman looked strange. In his opinion, this is common sense that everyone in this world should know.
After all, the Lyon Empire is the largest human kingdom today.
This foreigner lives too far... No wonder he can take out this rare product.
He fiddled with the lighter switch twice as Xia Li did just now. With the sound of precision gears, a string of flames reflected in his eyes, and he was excited in his heart.
"The Lyon Empire..."
Xia Li vaguely had some impression of the name of this empire.
He remembered that he had heard the name of this ancient empire when he was studying human history...
etc.
ancient……
Xia Li keenly grasped the keywords in his heart.
He suddenly remembered that he and Lucia had left no trace after 115 years.
Xia Li had some bold guess in his mind.
He took action and wrapped his arm behind Lucia.
Lucia thought Xia Li suddenly wanted to hug her...I wanted to celebrate the first blackmail, no, the joy of the successful first transaction?
In this world, whether it is snatched by both hands or cheated by both hands, it is all a kind of strength...
It can also be rewarded with Xia Li.
She giggled, hugged Xia Li's waist, and buried her soft face in his chest.
However, the stinky man just wrapped his hands around the back of her neck, and didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, and said in a low voice in her ear.
"I borrow this for use."
Xia Li took off the gold coin hanging around Lucia's neck.
This is the only two gold coins that Lucia carries after traveling to Earth.
Xia Li sold one at that time, and the other was used as a souvenir and made into a small brand for Lucy Adam pendant.
Inside the sterling silver border, the outline and engraving pocket of the gold coins are preserved quite completely.
Xia Li took it off and showed it in front of the fat businessman.
"Have you seen this?"
The fat businessman just glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Xia Li took out another handful of Forget-Zi milk candy and threw it in front of his stall.
"Have you seen it?"
"...If it were an ordinary traveler who asked me, I would have answered that I had never seen it before," the fat businessman was finally impressed by the magical outer packaging of the milk candy.
A generous young man!
He likes to deal with such people.
"After all, the patterns on this gold coin are indeed rare, and it can be said that they have not even started to become popular yet... So, unfortunately, I have actually seen them."
"Where did you see it?" Xia Li continued to ask.
The gold coin he took out was very different from the common trading currencies here.
The surface is the symbol of swords and shields, and the back is an luxurious crown engraved.
Whether it is the carving process or the weight gain, it is much more valuable than the gold coins that the fat merchant just took out.
Xia Li had already thought about it. If the other party had seen it in history books, it would mean that 115 years had passed.
Moreover, after one hundred and fifteen years, not only did the Lachlan Kingdom that summoned Xia Li disappear, but even the once dominant overlord of the Aize Continent, the origin of this gold coin, the Orca Empire, was wiped out.
"There is an expeditionary force in the east," the fat merchant answered without hesitation, "It is said that it is a rebellious army organized by a famine-stricken town in the Lyon Empire. They went all the way west and conquered a large area of the Lyon Empire..."
"The pattern on their flag is exactly the same as the pattern on your gold coin."
At this point, the fat merchant paused for a moment, thought about it and continued.
"The name of their army is-"
"Orca Army."
"..."
Xia Li finally gave the fat merchant two more Panpan breads.
Lucia muttered, a little dissatisfied with this act of sending bread.
But after thinking about the fact that the other party had just paid 550 gold coins and was a big injustice, she immediately felt that it was worth it.
"Where are you going next?" She pulled Xia Li away and asked eagerly.
Xia Li replied: "There are no two-way teleportation scrolls around here. We may have to go to a larger human town to have a look."
"Oh... OK." Lucia nodded in agreement.
Anyway, she agreed no matter what.
"Lucia."
"Hmm?"
Xia Li, who was walking in front, interrupted his thoughts and suddenly stopped.
Lucia didn't have time to brake and bumped into Xia Li's back. She rubbed her forehead and looked up at him.
"What's wrong? You have a weird expression since just now."
Xia Li rubbed the dragon's head for her. In order not to scare the dragon, he deliberately made his voice much softer.
"We may have come to the wrong place."
"What's wrong?"
"We came to the wrong time."
"...Hmm?"
"We came to the Aize continent about fifty years ago."
"What?"
"We traveled to the past." Xia Li said.
"The Orca Empire here has not yet defeated the Lyon Empire, and the Lachlan Kingdom that summoned me has not yet been separated... 'I' have not been here yet - and 'you' are still in childhood."
"..."
Lucia stared at Xia Li infatuatedly, and for a moment she even forgot to think.
She secretly counted on her fingers, and it should have been more than a hundred years since the Aize Continent, and Xia Li's friends had long since turned into ashes.
Along the way, Lucia did not dare to mention this matter casually.
When she saw that Xia Li was worried, she carefully took care of Xia Li's emotions and tried to divert Xia Li's attention in other ways.
After all the calculations, she had never calculated that they might not come to the 'future' but the 'past'.
These are too weird.
She has never heard of any magic that travels through time.
"Why is this happening?"
Even Lucia, who is not good at thinking, frowned at this time.
"Not sure..." Xia Li shook her head.
"We didn't come back with any regular magic... Moreover, we didn't use our own power, nor the power of the Aize Continent."
At this point, Xia Li already had a clear direction in his mind.
"This is Qin Chuan's power..."
"And his ability is to go back to the past."
Recommend a book, the writing is delicate and interesting, and it is a daily love story with multiple female protagonists~~
