    Berego smelled something bad, and there seemed to be malice hidden in Berrent's smile.  He frowned slightly and stared at Berrent, his eyes sharp, like a sharp arrow from a string.  "Are you deaf? I was talking to you just now and asked you to take these three gold coins and leave. Why are you still here? I don't want to say the same thing a second time." Berrent laughed.  .  "I'm not deaf. I heard everything you said, but I can't leave because the price I negotiated with the appraiser was nine gold coins, not just three gold coins." Berego frowned.  "The appraiser's vision was too poor, and the appraisal was wrong. This fur was severely damaged and not worth nine gold coins at all. Three gold coins is already the limit." "Don't fool me, this kind of rare fur,  Even if it's damaged, it's still valuable. It's worth far more than three gold coins! " "Haha, it's entirely up to me how much something in this room is worth. I said this fur is worth three gold coins, so it's worth three.  A gold coin. I advise you to take these three gold coins and leave. If you mess around with me again, be careful that my friend Sharrod will be rude to you." Berrent smiled and pursed his lips.  The man sitting opposite turned his head slightly and looked at Berego, his eyes indifferent, like a lake frozen thousands of miles away in winter.  Beside him, the long sword poking at the ground made a weird crackling sound again.  From this man named Sharod, Berego felt a chilling sense of danger, as if someone had put a sword on his neck.  This was the first time he had encountered this feeling. He had never felt this way before when he faced the Mist Weasel King.  "Gulu" Berego's Adam's apple twitched, and the sharpness on his face gradually subsided as if it was extinguished. Reason told him that it was better not to fall out with the pair in front of him now.  Before, he liked the large store of this consignment shop, so he brought the furs of the Mist Weasel King here to sell them. Now it seems that this is really a wrong choice.  A large store does not mean it is reputable.  "Boss Berent, in order to kill this Fog Weasel King, my adventure group sacrificed several people. This fur can be said to have been exchanged for blood. The money gained from selling the fur will not fall into my possession."  My pocket is to be used as housing expenses for the victims. For the sake of this, sir, I have a lot of money, so I can give you an explanation when I go back.  I don¡¯t care about these few gold coins, why bother embarrassment for a little person like me?¡± Berego lowered his attitude and tried to persuade him.  "The plight of those victims is really pitiful, but this is a business place where I pay attention to fair dealings, not an orphanage. No matter how pitiful you say it, I will never change my mind." Berendt smiled a lot.  He felt a hint of coldness and looked extremely cruel, "There are two choices before you now. One is to get out with three gold coins, and the other is to get out with nothing. You choose it yourself." "You profiteer! Go away!  For your three gold coins, I won¡¯t sell this fur!¡± Berego was furious, his eyes widened, and he quickly walked to the wall where the Fur of the Mist Weasel King was hanging, reaching out to take it off.  At this moment, Sharod, with a stern expression, suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand as fast as lightning, grasped the hilt of the sword beside him, and pulled out the crackling long sword.  When the long sword appeared, a bright flash flashed across the room, as if lightning flashed across the room.  I saw several swaying arcs on the sword, and the weird crackling sound was caused by the arcs.  This is actually a long sword with electricity!  Sharod raised his sword and dropped it at an extremely fast speed. With a flash of lightning, he put the electrified sword edge on Berego's neck.  The swaying arc penetrated his clothes and pierced his skin, causing Berego to feel a stinging sensation and causing him to stop what he was doing.  "You?" Berego turned his head and looked at Sharrod behind him in surprise. The opponent's speed was much faster than he imagined.  "It's not a good habit to show your back to the enemy. Be careful next time." Sharod spoke for the first time, his voice hoarse and cold, like a file rubbing against ice and snow.  His palm suddenly exerted force, and the electric arcs on the sword intensified instantly, turning into several electric snakes and scurrying into Berego's body!  Berego screamed and trembled violently several times due to the electric shock. He fainted and fell heavily to the ground.  Berrent stood up with a smile, walked all the way to Berego, and looked down at the unconscious elf archer.  "The price of elf slaves is very high. Recently, a few rich women wanted to buy elf slaves from me. They caught him and threw him into the dungeon. If they met a suitable buyer, they would sell him  If it works properly, his selling price will be higher than this Mist Weasel King fur. We made a small fortune this time  "Berrent smiled greedily. "He seems to have some skills. Remember to take care of him before selling, so as not to hurt the buyer.  "Sharod restrained the electric arc on the long sword, returned the sword to its sheath, and wore the sword on his waist. "Thanks for the reminder, I will have someone take care of him.  "Berendt said the word "clean up" very seriously. Berego was lying on the ground, his eyes closed tightly, his golden hair became a little burnt due to the electric shock, and gave off a burnt smell. He didn't know at all.  What kind of dangerous situation have they fallen into? ¡­ Anrui and Shafei walked out of the door of the trading hall together, away from the noisy environment, and came to the crowded street. The two had just had a game inside.  Trading and buying something. ¡°After fishing for so many days, I finally saved enough money to buy this thing.  " Anrui took a deep breath, raised a small bag in his hand, shook it three times, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "This kind of 'anti-thunder fruit' is really expensive, and it actually costs us a few  All the money I earned was spent.  "Shafei glanced at the bulging bag and stuck out her tongue. "If we hadn't bargained with the seller, we would have spent more money.  Fortunately, buying this 'anti-thunder fruit' is a great value for money, and it will be put to great use soon.  " "Do I have to use this anti-thunder fruit to deal with the thunder demon tree?  " "Yes, it must be used.  The thunder demon tree is the second material we need to collect. The dragon bones made from this tree will be very strong and can be hit by cannonballs.  However, this kind of tree is too difficult to deal with. It can introduce lightning into its body during thunderstorms, store it, and nourish it on the spot. If it encounters danger, it can also use the stored lightning to hurt people.  What's even worse is that the Thunder Demon Tree is a living tree and can walk around.  It is very difficult to kill this kind of demon tree. Even if the two of us join forces, we are not completely sure.  An Rui shook the bag in his hand again, "So we need this."  " "The seller just now said that after eating the anti-thunder fruit, you can resist lightning. Even if you are struck by lightning, you will be fine.  After we eat the anti-thunder fruit, we no longer need to be afraid of the thunder demon tree, right?  "Sophie speculated. "Yes, as long as we eat this kind of strange fruit, the thunder demon tree will not be afraid of us. Even if it strikes us with thunder and lightning, we will not be too damaged, at least not.  Danger to life.  An Rui touched his chin and thought, "We are fully prepared and can set out to attack the Thunder Demonic Tree at any time."  Let's go talk to Berego today.  If he's free, take him with you.  We are in the same boat now, so we should communicate more, and his bow and arrows should be able to help in the battle.  "    "OK.  I also want to see him again.  "Sophie said with a smile. "Last time in the tavern, he told me his address. Let's go there now.  "An Rui stopped, thought about the location of the address, changed the direction of travel, and walked over with Sophie. "The place where Berego lives is a tree house area, located on the edge of Iron Cannon Port.  , many elves will choose to live there. In ancient times, the elves called themselves the children of the forest and have always lived in the forest and lived in tree houses. This accommodation habit has not changed to this day. Many towns will build tree house areas.  This treehouse area is not very large for the elves in the city. There are only about thirty large trees, and there are one or two treehouses on each tree. They are quite sturdy and durable.  Dotted with vines, each tree has a house number and the name of the owner engraved on it. With this, Anri can easily find Berego's house.  The wooden ladder stretched from the door to the ground, with two turns in the middle, and beautifully carved handrails on both sides. An Rui walked along the ladder to the door of the tree house, raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.  In response, the room was even quieter. ¡°It seems like there is no one at home.  An Rui shrugged, took out a pen and paper from his body, wrote a note for Berego, and posted it on the door to inform Berego that he had been here. A neighbor seemed to be  Hearing the knock on the door, he opened the door and walked out. Like most of the residents here, he was also an elf, but he was older. He was a middle-aged uncle, a little less handsome than a young elf, and a little more handsome.  Very mature. ¡°Are you here to see Berego?  "The elf uncle stood in front of his house and asked in a loud voice towards the tree house where Anrui was. "Yes, sir.  "An Rui looked over, nodded and replied. "The kid Berego hasn't come back for several days. He probably went out on an adventure again.  " "He's so good"Haven't come back yet?  "When An Rui heard this, his brows immediately frowned, feeling that something was wrong. Berego and An Rui had just reached a consensus and agreed to go to sea together. In addition, Berego had to deal with the affairs of several deceased people. Logically speaking,  You should stay at home these days and not wander around. "Yes, he hasn't been back for several days.  "The middle-aged elf raised his head and thought for a while, seeming to catch some memories from the air, "It was about six days, maybe seven days. When he went out that day, I happened to meet him and asked him where he was going.  He said he was going to visit Fairyland Consignment and ask if the consignment items had been sold.  Since then, I have never seen him come back.  ¡± ¡°Fairness Called Consignment House!¡± This word was like a bolt of lightning, flashing through An Rui¡¯s heart, amplifying the bad premonition in his heart. He knew the details of ¡°Fairness Called Consignment House¡±. This consignment house was a profiteer.  It's a business that specializes in some unscrupulous activities, such as forced buying and selling, reselling slaves, etc. Berego never returned a few days ago, which may have something to do with this fair-name consignment house.  When Rego claimed that he took the fur to the fair consignment house for sale, Anrui felt a little unsafe, and now his worries have come true. ¡°It¡¯s a little bad.  "An Rui had a sullen face and murmured in a low voice. "Is something happened to the Berego kid?  "The middle-aged elf asked slightly worriedly. "It's possible.  An Rui came back to his senses and nodded to admit, "But don't worry, I will find out about this matter. If Berego is in trouble, I will try my best to help him."  " "You are so kind to him. It seems that you are quite good friends.  " "I am not only his friend, but also his captain.  "An Rui said.
