Chapter 12 The Bard
"Do you pay for him?" One-eyed Luka snorted, "Can you afford it?" As he said, the rash man strode back to the kitchen and pulled out a large piece of black charcoal. It could barely be seen that it was a burnt animal, about four or five meters long. Although the internal organs and fur were all removed, it was probably more than a thousand pounds. The one-eyed Luke actually dragged it out with one hand, which shows his courage!
"Look!" With a bang, Luke threw black charcoal in front of Zhao Qiankun: "This is a snow bear, the most advanced ingredient in the polar continent. After my secret processing, a plate of fragrant grilled snow bear meat can be sold for a silver coin. This brat burned at least one thousand pounds of snow bear meat, worth at least fifty gold coins. If you want to meddle in other people's business, get me 50 gold coins, and forget about this matter!"
Zhao Qiankun frowned: "The account is not calculated like this. How much money you bought it, I will pay you how much money. A snow bear skin costs only ten gold coins. I don't believe that these meats for people can be more valuable than fur!"
"What do you know!" Luca snorted: "The snow bear is strong and thick-skinned, and it is very agile, and it is extremely difficult to capture. No one has successfully hunted it for almost half a year! There are still corpses found by hunters in the wild. Even if you have money, where can you buy it? You must compensate me for all the losses!"
Zhao Qiankun's eyes rolled: "I don't have fifty gold coins, but what if I have more advanced ingredients?"
Hearing this, Luca was stunned: "A more advanced? Are there ingredients that are more advanced than snow bear meat?"
Zhao Qiankun smiled, untied his backpack and took out a large piece of frozen meat from it, which was probably 50 or 60 pounds.
"I can't guarantee this must be delicious than your snow bear meat, but it's definitely more rare!"
Luca stared at a one-eyed person, took the frozen meat, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, pulled out a dagger and knocked on a small piece, put it in her mouth and tasted it, showing a shocked expression.
"This...this is..."
He was shocked, not because of how delicious the meat was, nor because he tasted what kind of meat it was. On the contrary, he didn't taste it at all!
The one-eyed Luke has traveled to many continents and especially likes meat food. He dare not say that he is such an excellent chef, but at least, he believes that there is no meat in this world that he has never eaten!
But he has never eaten this before!
"What kind of meat is this?" One-eyed Luke seemed to see the idol's star-chasing clan. He looked excited and raised his hand to grab Zhao Qiankun's shoulder: "Tell me, what kind of meat is this?!"
Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "You first say, can this be worthy of your snow bear meat? If you can, this meat will be given to you. If you can't, I won't care about this matter. Please give me the meat, and I will continue to have a meal. Do you kill this kid or send it to the slave market, as you like!"
Luke's eyebrows hopped, and he looked back at the direction of the bar. The beautiful high elf boss lady nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll let him go and tell me, what kind of meat is this?"
Zhao Qiankun smiled and whispered: "You are stupid. Since you don't know anyone, what kind of meat you say is, it's what kind of meat you say. You say it's worth as much as you say it's worth!"
Luke suddenly realized, nodded and said yes, laughed and ran back to the kitchen with the meat in his arms.
The commotion was subsided. The regular customers here were not surprised by Luke's madness. Everyone set up tables and chairs, and the wine and food that had been overturned were changed. Everyone should eat and drink, as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Qiankun also returned to his seat and extended his hand to the plate of snow bear meat, but someone took him one step ahead and even took the plate away. He sat opposite him and started eating with relish.
"This thing is delicious, it's a pity to burn it!" The one who took action was the boy who was almost sold to the slave market. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten what he had just happened. He started to eat, as if someone else had just been chased. This face is really rare!
Zhao Qiankun looked at the young man who was eating deliciously. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was not tall, only 1.6 meters tall. His face was black. He should have been stained with carbon ash when the food failed. However, he could still see his delicate facial features with obvious Asian style. He dressed up as a cute little handsome guy. He was wearing coarse cloth clothes, a vest with animal skin, and a hat with animal skin. This hat seemed not his. It was a bit big. He wore a walk on his head, which highlighted his thinness.
As I was looking at it, the boy had eaten up a plate of meat and licked the sauce on the bottom of the plate: "It tastes really good. I said, can I order a plate? I'm not full!"
Looking at this shameless and shameless style, Zhao Qiankun laughed: "I have saved your life, so if you don't repay me, you'll just rob me of my meat?"
"I didn't ask you! You're meddling for others!" The boy said stubbornly, Zhao Qiankun smiled, imitating the boy's movements and expressions when he hid behind him: "It's not considered asking for help if you're scared like this? There's a way to avoid cats behind me!"
The boy snorted: "Anyway, even without you, I can escape the danger!"
"I know..." Zhao Qiankun waved his hand: "If I don't show up, the little thing you pinched in your hand will be thrown out! In fact, I am not only saving you, but also helping the boss. You cheated the ingredients and also wanted to eat your magic props. That would be too miserable!"
The boy was stunned: "How do you know?"
"Don't underestimate my eyes!" Zhao Qiankun smiled, leaned his elbows on the table, leaned forward, and whispered: "And I also know that there is nothing under you!"
When the boy heard this, he subconsciously covered his thighs, then covered his chest, and stared at Zhao Qiankun with wide eyes: "How did you... see it?"
Zhao Qiankun laughed: "I have seen it on TV with women dressed as men!"
"Dou...stone?" The boy... no, it should be a girl, showing a puzzled expression.
Zhao Qiankun coughed: "Anyway, you have some flaws. Your voice is deliberately lowered. When you are anxious, you will still make a female voice. When you look up, you can clearly see that there is no Adam's apple rising and falling. And the figure is a bit too slim than ordinary men. The most important thing is that this place is located in the extreme north and is severely cold all year round. People here make a living by hunting. It is common not to take a bath for a year. It has its own body odor and plus the blood of animals. After a long time, no one is stinking, only you..." As he said that, Zhao Qiankun raised his nose and sniffed: "Have you applied fragrant powder?"
"Dog nose!" The girl snorted: "Don't talk about it, the people here are like wolves and tigers, a group of stinky hooligans! I think you are also from Dongao Shenzhou. For the sake of being the same clan, please help..."
"I have helped you!" Zhao Qiankun shrugged: "Without me, you might have been chopped into pieces now! Don't expect the small props in your hand. You can't react at all when the knife flew over!"
The girl finally showed a pleading expression: "Hero, help people to the end... I also traveled here, spending all my money, and now I can't even afford a ticket if I want to leave. When I see you are the warm-hearted hero of the ancient road, I'm in a hurry to help the world!"
"I'll lend you money to buy a boat ticket? When you run away, who will I ask for a debt?"
"Can I go with you!" The girl hummed and took out a note from her arms: "Tell you, I am actually a minstrel! You are taking risks, right? Don't want to lie to me, you are definitely not a fur hunter. First, you are the same as me, without that odor; second, the knife on your waist, although it looks simple and looks no different from an ordinary sword, can't deceive my magic eyes, at least fifty gold coins! People with such a sword will never stay in this cold place for the rest of their lives! Take me along the way, and I can write epics for you, sing your stories, let your deeds spread throughout the five continents and three regions, and turn you into a household hero!"
After hearing the girl's trick, Zhao Qiankun touched the knife on his waist, thinking that I just picked a random look from the arsenal, which was not very eye-catching, but I didn't expect it to be so valuable. But looking at the girl's intention, I probably regarded me as a young man who went out to practice. For nothing, I might as well take her out of here, as well as a guide.
"Okay, I happened to be here enough. After I had enough food, let's go!" As he said that, Zhao Qiankun greeted the waiter and ordered two more dishes.
Hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up and she stretched out her right hand to Zhao Qiankun: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Xuelian. Just call me Xiaolian. One day I will write the best heroic epic!"
Zhao Qiankun reached out and shook Xiaolian: "My name is Zhao Qiankun... I don't have any ideals yet, I just want to go around the world..."
"Then we are the best partner!" Xiaolian smiled and moved her eyebrows, her eyes bent into crescent moons: "Just be the protagonist of my epic!"
Who would have thought that in an inconspicuous tavern in the far north, a dirty female minstrel and a fledgling skeleton in human skin, would write a half-true and half-false joke in this world in the near future.
…………
Five days later, on the 700-kilometer ice cap north of Wenrou Town, the Dragon Slaying Pioneer led by thirteen Paladins stood on the edge of the ice canyon, looking at the huge dragon corpse that had been frozen below, and fell into silence...
They traveled thousands of miles and traveled a long distance to the polar continent to attack the ancient dragon, but they didn't expect that they would be taken the lead!
"How is this possible..." The youngest dragon knight in history, the saint of the lion-heart, and the blonde Joan of Arc could hardly believe his eyes: "Is it because he was attacked during the dormant process..."
