Magus Tech Chapter 506: The man from the depths of the continent
"Sell it to you?" Li Cha looked at Sherlock and asked.
"Well, sell it to me." Sherlock nodded and explained, "A few days ago, someone, um, let's just call it an ordinary friend, found me and said that he saved a poor girl from the auction, Ask me if I'm interested.
You know me, the worst thing to see a girl suffer, especially a beautiful girl, how can you just watch Lucia stay in the other party's hands - the other party is not a sympathetic person. So I spent nine thousand gold coins to buy Lucia from the other party. "
"Nine thousand gold coins?"
"Yes, nine thousand gold coins." Sherlock nodded and smiled, "For a girl as beautiful, cute, kind, smart, and capable as Lucia, the other party only wants nine thousand gold coins. Blackmail me, maybe you want to establish a deep friendship with me."
Li Cha: "..." The 4,500 gold coins were auctioned off, and they were doubled to 9,000 gold coins in a second hand. There was really no extortion.
At this time, Sherlock said again: "And after I bought Lucia, I gave her freedom and told her to go wherever she wanted. It is strange that she expressed her willingness to stay with me , then I can only keep her—in fact, in my opinion, such a girl should work hard to pursue happiness outside. Staying by my side, tsk, is a bit of a waste.”
Li Cha was not speechless this time, because he was already used to Sherlock's temperament, so he picked up the petal tea and started drinking it, not bothering to respond.
After hearing Sherlock's words, the girl Lucia became anxious, and looked at Sherlock with red eyes: "Mr. Sherlock, do you think I'm not good enough?"
"No no, of course not." Sherlock said quickly, "Lucia, why? I just think that you really don't need to stay by my side."
"But Mr. Sherlock, you bought me, and I am yours." The girl Lucia lowered her head, grabbed the skirt of the maid's skirt and said, "If I don't stay by your side, where can I go?"
"You can go anywhere, you have your past, you have your family, you can go to them. Lucia, you know, although I bought you, you are as beautiful as you Girl, it doesn't mean I have the right to restrict your freedom."
"Then you just hate me and want to drive me away!"
"On the contrary, I love you, a beautiful, cute, kind, smart, capable girl. This is the most beautiful thing in the world, and it is my eternal pursuit."
"Then why do you still want me to leave you?"
"Lucia, you know, if liking is possession and making yourself happy, then love is letting go and making the one you love happy. I love you such a beautiful girl, so if you're not happy around me , I would rather let you leave me."
The girl blushed when she heard this. She tried her best to muster up her courage, looked at Sherlock and said, "Mr. Sherlock, I think my happiest place is by your side. You love me, I... love you too. Well, I'm off to work."
After speaking, the girl quickly ran away holding her skirt.
Sherlock watched the girl leave, and shouted with concern: "Run slowly, don't fall, Lucia." After shouting, he sat back in his seat with a face as usual, and slowly savored the petals the girl brought just now Tea.
Then, Sherlock looked up, looked at Li Cha, who was also drinking tea, and asked, "What do you think?"
"It smells sour." Li Cha replied blankly.
"Huh? You mean tea?" Sherlock was taken aback.
"No, I mean air?"
"Air?" Sherlock sniffed with his nose seriously, slightly puzzled, "Sour smell? Is it there, isn't it? Is my nose not sensitive anymore, or is your nose too sensitive? No matter, sprinkle some perfume later and it should improve."
Li Cha was noncommittal, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Sherlock, took a deep breath and said, "Let's get down to business."
"Okay." Sherlock looked over, "Is there anything I can do for you? As a friend, no matter what difficulties you have, I will do my best to help you."
"I lack a material." Li Cha was not polite, and said bluntly, "I hope I can get it from you so that I can complete my experiment."
"Material? What material?" Sherlock asked.
"Palladium Metal."
"Metal palladium?" Sherlock's eyes flickered, slightly puzzled, "Is it a kind of ore? I don't think I've heard this name before."
"That's what I call it. As for what other people call it, well, to be honest, I really don't know. What I can tell you is that this is a mineral similar to silver, but it is eight times heavier than silver. One-tenth, you can call it... Barras silver."
"Balassil Silver?" Sherlock was thinking, scratching his head, "To be honest, I have never heard of this name. But you know, there are many in my warehouse that I can't name myself. Minerals and other things, you can go and have a look, maybe you can find what you need. Come with me."
Speaking, Sherlock stood up and was about to leave.
But Li Cha said out loud: "Don't worry, you can take this first." As he spoke, he took out something, which was exactly what he took out of the box in the research room.
Sherlock's identity, as far as Richard knows so far, is very mysterious.
According to Sherlock himself, he is not from the east coast, nor from Lisburn Island or Smans Island, but from the depths of the main mainland.
The main reason why he came to the east coast is confidential, but a secondary reason is that he likes to take risks. There are many differences between the east coast and the depths of the main continent, so he comes here to experience exotic customs and enjoy life by the way.
Life is indeed enjoyed.
Sherlock has a lot of wealth ~IndoMTL.com~ and is willing to spend this wealth on any beautiful and seemingly beautiful things.
For example, willing to spend a full hundred gold coins to let a beggar give him a good place to watch the sunset-the beggar thought he was crazy, and spat at him, expressing his disdain and saying that the uncle is not short of money.
For example, if you are willing to spend a full five hundred gold coins, you want to sell the colorful clothes of a bard on the road - but the bard thinks that he is doing something wrong, so he hides his **** and runs away.
Another example is that you are willing to spend a full thousand gold coins to taste an extremely rare, dark blue eel caught by a fisherman-this time it was finally successful, but after eating it, you will be directly poisoned by copper-the eel will turn blue The color is polluted by copper, and the color of copper ions is blue. If Li Cha hadn't made a move, I don't know what would have happened.
It can be said that Sherlock is extremely firm in the pursuit of beauty, even if he encounters many setbacks, he will not shrink back.
For this reason, Sherlock specially built a huge collection warehouse, collecting all kinds of beautiful things in his opinion, from shiny ores, to absurd oil paintings, to sophisticated mechanical creations, to powerful spells. props.
Sherlock's warehouse is like a treasure chest of whimsy, everything can be found in it, and Sherlock is also very willing to give the contents inside to friends, because Sherlock said - can't see A friendship is more precious than a collection of things seen.
That's what I said, but for Li Cha, he was not willing to take advantage of Sherlock for nothing, even if he wanted something, he would do his best to exchange as much as possible, so he brought something this time.
With this idea in mind, Richard put the things he brought into Sherlock's hands.
