In the evening, Sphinx and Bruto returned to the tavern dejectedly, and the transaction was not going well.

When they saw the golden apple, Bruto swears in the name of Tifon, that was definitely the real thing, but he didn't expect that Marquis Nars raised the price to 600 gold coins.

Ten million has become 12 million, which seems to have not increased much, but except for 500 gold coins, they only brought 200 silver coins in pocket money, and they couldn't even get one more.

"There is no other way, I can only go back and tell the count." The Leo woman sighed.

"Tell the Count? It will take half a month for us to go back and forth!" Bruto's veins suddenly burst out, "Tigre has prepared six hundred gold coins, it will be too late to wait for us to come back!"

Tigray, a well-known wealthy businessman in Olicino, Manda heard them mention this person on the way, and he was also interested in this golden apple.

Leonder, who had just woken up, was a little gloating. He poured a glass of cider and took a sip indifferently: "Otherwise, what else can you do? Can you grab it?"

Bruto roared: "Even if you grab it, you have to grab it back. This is my only chance!"

Leonder sneered: "I appreciate your courage, don't expect me to help. This is the shawl city, not the small wasteland village where you were born!"

"I don't need your help!" Bruto gritted his teeth and looked at Leonder, a layer of black air appeared on his body, and a few scales appeared on his face.

Leonder looked at Bruto with a smile, and black air appeared on his body, and a layer of black hair grew on his face.

The Leo woman must speak. Driven by despair and jealousy, don't expect these two men to be as rational as they can be.

"Sit down for me, otherwise I will let you all lie here." The Leo woman's voice was not high, but the shock was enough. The two men sat on the bed, Leonder continued to drink cider, and Brutoson grabbed her long hair without any desire.

"Isn't it just a hundred gold coins? You can always think of a solution." Manda suddenly spoke.

"Listen to what he said, he is worthy of being the son of the Baron." Leonder smiled.

Sphinx sighed, took out a necklace from his skirt bag and placed it on the table: "I bought it last month to Lao Yaman, worth seven gold coins."

No wonder her skirt always has gold coins. Manda has seen this necklace and always reveals a piece on the edge of the skirt.

When you concentrate on looking at something, Manda can see some hallucinations. According to his inference, these hallucinations represent the value of this thing. This is the first-level divine power given to Manda by the gods.

Manda stared at the necklace for a while and saw three gold coins, sixteen silver coins, and a pile of copper coins.

It seems that Lao Yaman has made a lot of difference, and this guy's heart is far from as good as he looks.

Bruto untied his sword and placed it on the table: "It was created by the craftsmen of Golden Light City, and I spent three gold coins when I bought it."

It might be worth so much when I bought it, but now Manda only saw a bunch of silver coins, the sword body was rusted and the sword edge was not worth a single gold coins now.

Sphinx took off his earrings. Manda was too lazy to take a look. The pair of earrings must have been bought by Old Yaman, worth no more than forty silver coins.

He looked at the pendant on Quinta's chest. Only this thing could be taken on the table. Quinta hurriedly hid the pendant in his clothes. This pendant was very precious to him.

What surprised Manda was that Leonder took out a gold chain from his backpack and slapped it on the table. It was real pure gold. Manda looked at it with concentration for a while and saw three gold coins and a pile of silver coins.

It's really strange, why did Leonder help Bruto? This made Manda a little confused about their relationship.

He used his divine power too frequently, but Manda didn't know how to control himself. He had a severe headache and wanted to vomit.

No one cares about him here, and everyone is considering the wealth at hand as they are.

According to their calculations, these things can be sold for twenty gold coins in total, but in Manda's opinion, these things are not worth even ten gold coins.

Leonder shook his head and said, "It seems that he really wants to do a business."

What he mentioned is not business, but robbery. There are many businessmen living in the tavern. If you do a few more votes, you may be able to get a hundred gold coins.

Sphinx obviously disagreed with his thoughts: "You just said that this is the Shishi City. There may be a Divine Punishment Army here, and there may even be a Knight Order. If they discover it, we will not be able to leave alive!"

Leonder sneered: "If you are as timid as a mouse, what qualifications are there to obtain the name of God!"

Bruto stood up and said, "I'm not afraid. I'll do it myself and I won't implicate you!"

Sphinx said angrily: "We robbed the Marquis' territory and still counted on buying golden apples from him. Are you all crazy?"

Manda had a great headache and didn't want to hear them quarrel. He pointed to the two boxes of cigarette stones beside the bed and said, "Sell that one, it's definitely worth one hundred gold coins."

"One hundred? As far as I know, the smoke stones in a carriage are worth at most one gold coin." Quinta bit his finger, not sure whether he should speak.

"These smoke and stones are different! I am the Baron's son. Even if I am an illegitimate child, I have seen good things. Find someone who knows the goods to sell them and go to exchange for golden apples!" Manda rubbed his forehead hard, and his head was about to crack.

The room was quiet for a while, and Manda took the opportunity to get into the quilt and cover her head with a pillow.

"Maybe you can give it a try." A glimmer of hope appeared in Bruto's eyes.

"But that was a gift for the Marquis, and there was a box of it from the Earl..." Quinta continued to bite his finger.

"As long as no one talks too much, we can pretend that nothing has happened." Leond poured another glass of wine.

"But where can I find someone to know the goods?" The Leo woman fell into deep thought.

...

The next day, it was dawn, Manda, who had been sleeping soundly all night, recovered a little. When he opened his eyes, he saw the pendant on Quinta's chest. He hurriedly changed his sight and tried to avoid hallucinations.

Sphinx set out with Bruto and Leonder, who brought five hundred gold coins and two boxes of cigarette stones to the Marquis' mansion.

They discussed it all night and came to the conclusion that Marquis Nars was the most sensible of the people they knew.

Manda spent a morning practicing how to control divine power. At first, she was in a bad condition. As long as she stared at an object for three seconds, coins would fall from her eyes.

After trying dozens of times, he gradually found some feelings and could barely control his concentration.

When he concentrates more than 50%, he can see blurred hallucinations. When he concentrates more than 70%, the hallucinations become very clear. If he continues to concentrate, his forehead will start to hurt severely. The pain will be so painful that he can't bear it anymore, and the hallucinations will disappear.

After practicing like this until noon, Manda finally found a completely controllable method.

He stretched his index finger between his eyes, and after it turned into a cross-eye, he could clearly see the coins.

Then put your fingers in your mouth and take a bite. The hallucination will be in pain.

The method looked silly, but it worked very well. Manda stood on the bed and burst into laughter, scaring Quinta to shrink into the quilt.

Manda was laughing so well. Sphinx suddenly pushed the door and walked in, hugging Manda and turned around.

"Little guy, tell me what are red, green, and golden!"

"It's an apple." Manda curled her lips, "If you can't find a decent riddle, don't ask questions easily. According to Sphinx's rules, you don't know how many times you should commit suicide!"

The Leo woman was not angry at all. She kissed Manda hard on the forehead: "Listen, you are so smart. Nars received those two boxes of cigarette stones. They are really worth one hundred gold coins!"

Bruto walked into the room, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have cried fiercely. He held a box in both hands and placed it carefully on the table.

He kneeled on his knees, raised his hands, and began to pray, his voice trembling and vague, and Manda could not hear clearly what he was saying.

Obviously, the wooden box contained golden apples, and Manda asked, "Has he received the name of God?"

Sphinx shook his head: "It's not possible yet. I'm going to go back to the temple in Tifeng to complete the sacrifice."

The last one who walked in was the three-headed dog Leonder. He lay on the bed as if he had lost his soul.

First he gloated, then risked his life to help him, but now he was jealous. Manda really couldn't understand Leond's temperament.

Quinta approached, blinked her egg-sized eyes, rubbed her hands and said to Bruto, "Can you show me the golden apple?"

"That won't work," Bruto shook his head repeatedly, "this is a blasphemy to Ladong."

Quinta looked disappointed: "Just one glance, can't it be okay?"

Bruto looked at Sphinx, who pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't think the gods would mind the gaze of admirers."

"Then... take a look!"

Bruto carefully opened the exquisite wooden box, and the dazzling golden light immediately filled the entire room.

Manda leaned forward and looked at the golden apple in the box, which was slightly smaller than the fist. From the curve of the shank to the stripes on the peel, the apple made of pure gold was no different from the real apple, and even had the urge to take a bite.

The round and smooth surface has no edges or flaws. Such a perfect thing cannot come from the mortal world, and must be the fruit on the sacred tree.

Except for Leonder, the remaining four people surrounded the golden apple, deeply intoxicated by the golden light.

Manda put his index finger on the tip of his nose and turned into a cross-eye. Out of curiosity, he wanted to see the value of this artifact.

As expected, gold coins surged in front of him like spring water. This was a gift Gaia gave to Zeus and Hera. Manda was really worried that his divine power would not be enough and would probably be swallowed by hallucinations.

Uh... the situation is different from what I imagined, the spring water of the gold coins did not last long...

Manda counted carefully over and over again, and her heart slowly hanged.

He bit his index finger hard, retracted his divine power, and said to Sphinx: "Did you really see that wealthy businessman named Tigray?"

Sphinx nodded and said, "I saw a man in his thirties. He said that he was Tigray."

It turns out you don't know him.

Manda pursed her lips and looked at Bruto, who was crying, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

There are forty gold coins, only forty.
