    One evening a few days later, An Rui was walking alone on the street, with his hands in his trouser pockets and chewing betel nuts in his mouth, looking carefree.  In the evening streets, there is no hustle and bustle during the day. The workers have finished their work and returned to their homes.  Smoke rises from every house, and the aroma of various foods wafts out from the windows, whetting people's appetites.  Anrui had just had dinner with Sophie, and was not very hungry at this time.  He came out this time mainly to take a walk and digest the dinner in his stomach.  These days, he has been busy with a lot of things and almost never stops.  He sent the newly obtained Black Widow Spider Silk to the Iron Hammer Shipyard to weave a new canvas.  The shipbuilding master Javi saw that these silk sacs were very fresh. They should have been obtained by hunting the black widow just now, but he did not say anything more. In this world, killing a few extra-large spiders is not a commendable thing.  thing.  While delivering the silk sac, An Rui checked the progress of the shipbuilding.  Under the supervision of Jia Wei, nearly one-third of the hull wood has been manufactured, and the progress is pretty good.  Once the wood for the hull is ready and a suitable keel is added, a complete hull can be formed.  In order not to delay the shipbuilding progress, Anrui had to get the Thunder Demon Tree as soon as possible. If all the hull wood was ready and he couldn't get the keel, he would have to use ordinary wood as the keel.  He didn't want that to happen.  In addition, he also found a blacksmith shop with a good reputation and sent the semi-finished bone shield to the blacksmith master, who polished it and painted it to turn it into a finished product.  The bone shield now has no bloody smell, and has become cleaner and more beautiful.  As for the two relatively complete furs of the fog weasel, he also sent them to the tailor shop, made them into a belt and a pair of gloves, and gave them to Sophie to wear.  Anrui¡¯s next goal is to make money. Only by making enough money can he have the capital to defeat the Thunder Demon Tree. There is a clear cause-and-effect relationship between the two.  In order to make money as quickly as possible, he thought of fishing.  Of course, you can't make money by catching ordinary fish. You can only make big money by catching special fish.  In order to fish, he had already bought the necessary fishing gear and bait and was fully prepared.  This is all An Rui has been doing these days. It sounds simple, but it is not so simple to do. He is very busy.  Fortunately, everything is over. Tomorrow, Anrui and Shafei will set off to fish at a special fishing spot on Jingtie Island, using fishing rods to earn his second pot of gold since arriving on the island.  While An Rui was thinking about this, a familiar figure walked over from the opposite street.  This person is a young and handsome male elf, wearing a tight outfit, with a bow and arrow on his back. The look on his face looks a bit lonely, his head is slightly lowered, and he looks lifeless. There is no trace of what a young man should be.  Some energy.  "Berego" An Rui murmured, recognizing the identity of the male elf opposite him at a glance.  Berego did not see An Rui, and was still walking forward with his head bowed.  When he was halfway there, he turned a corner, looked up at the street, then lowered his head and turned into a noisy pub.  An Rui watched Berego turn the corner and enter the tavern. He touched his chin habitually, thought for a moment, then followed him and entered the tavern.  The business of the tavern doesn¡¯t seem to be very good, maybe it¡¯s because the time is not so good right now and there aren¡¯t many people inside.  Several tables were empty, only two groups of people were drinking inside, and even the prostitutes were hiding aside, gathering to play cards instead of busy wooing customers.  An Rui stood at the door, glanced around, and suddenly locked his eyes on Berego sitting in the corner.  Berego ordered a drink and did not ask for any food. He drank by himself there, looking very lonely.  The bartender held a white rag and approached with a smile, asking An Rui what drink he wanted.  An Rui casually ordered a glass of rum, holding the glass and walked towards Berego.  "Why is it you?" Berego noticed Anri approaching and glanced sideways at the latter.  "Why can't it be me?" An Rui asked with a smile.  Berego was speechless, pursed his lips, and took another sip of wine.  An Rui sat carelessly opposite Berego. The latter did not refuse, but he did not show much enthusiasm. He just glanced at the Eagle Eye Ring on An Rui's left hand intentionally or unintentionally while drinking.  An Rui noticed Berego's gaze, pointed to the ring on his finger, and said with a smile: "This ring has a very good effect. It has helped me a lot recently. I killed many black animals while wearing it."Widow.  " "Of course my ring is fine.  "Berego snorted and said dullly. "Looking at you, you don't seem happy?  " "Whether I am happy or not has nothing to do with you.  " "You still have that stinky and stubborn temper, which is really not lovable at all.  " "Sorry, I'm not a gold coin. I can't be liked by everyone. If you hate me, you can just leave.  " An Rui rolled his eyes and rolled his eyes at Berego, who was sitting opposite. The elf in front of him looked handsome, but his character was terrible. If he didn't have an ulterior motive, he really wanted to start a fight and leave.  This place. He took a few deep breaths, then suppressed his impulsive emotions and said patiently: "Berego, after all, I can be regarded as your half-savior. There is no need for you to reject others thousands of miles away, right?  " "What happened in the misty forest is just a fair transaction, not a life-saving grace. If you want to consider yourself my life-savior, I'm afraid you won't be able to gain my approval.  "Berego said expressionlessly. "Okay, to take a step back, I am not your savior, but ordinary friends can be counted, right?  "Although the two sides have had suspicions and quarrels, they have fought side by side and can barely be regarded as friends. This time, Berego did not refute and gave Anrui a helpless look. "Since we are barely friends, let's let it go today.  Let's chat briefly as friends.  Tell me, how are you doing these days?  "An Rui said deliberately. "You must know?  "Berego asked angrily. "Well, I have to know.  " Berego glanced at An Rui depressedly and said reluctantly: "After I came back, I disbanded the adventure group and paid the corresponding settlement expenses to several members out of my own pocket.  However, I have too little savings on hand to be able to afford so much money. The remaining money can only be paid to the families of the deceased after selling the fur of the Mist Weasel King.  " "Have you found a good buyer for King Mist Weasel's fur?  " "Not yet. The businessmen I always dealt with in the past took a boat to seek development elsewhere. I can only find other businessmen to cooperate.  But I didn¡¯t know any other merchants, so I had to send the furs to a consignment house for sale, and I didn¡¯t know when I would be able to sell them.  " "Which consignment house did you send it to?  " "The consignment house is known as fair.  " "The name of fairness?  Where did you send the furs?  "An Rui suddenly raised the volume and reacted a bit too much. "Yes, what's wrong?  "Berego said without knowing why. "No, it's nothing.  "An Rui shook his head and did not explain clearly. The reason why he overreacted was because he knew the background of this store. The boss behind this store is not a good person. It is easy to suffer losses when doing business with this store. But Bailey  Ge was just selling a piece of fur, so he thought it would be fine, so there was no need to make too much of a fuss. ¡°How much did you price the fur?  "He changed the topic and continued to ask. "Nine gold coins.  " "The asking price is a bit low. It stands to reason that this fur can be sold for more than ten gold coins. If you find the right buyer, it can even be sold for more.  " "No way, I'm in a hurry for money.  " "Are you in such a hurry?  How much settlement allowance do you plan to give to those who have died?  " "The prices vary. If there are two people, five gold coins each will be enough. If there are two others, they will have to give more. I plan to give eight gold coins.  If conditions permit, I would like to give a little more.  " "You plan to give that much money?  "An Rui was stunned for a moment, more or less surprised. He knew very well the purchasing power of gold coins in this world. A mere gold coin can buy a lot of things, which is enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year. Eight gold coins are enough for an ordinary family.  It is already a huge amount of money that cannot be ignored. "There is no way, the family conditions of the two are very poor, and they need this money very much. One of them is the only labor force in the family, and the sister of the other is seriously ill and is waiting to be used.  Money to treat illnesses" When Berego said this, he suddenly couldn't continue and took a sip of wine. "I'm sorry for them, it was me who killed them.  Let alone a few gold coins, even if their family members stab me a few times, I will have no complaints.  " An Rui was silent and looked at Berego opposite with some sympathy. Although the other party's temper was a bit bad and his words were unpleasant, he was not bad at heart and had a kind side. Not every adventure group leader  They will pay the resettlement allowance to the dead members. Many group leaders don't care about the life and death of the group members, let alone overpaying the resettlement allowance. You know, there is an agreement between the group leader and the group members. After the group member dies unexpectedly, the group leader only needs to pay the resettlement allowance.  Just pay the settlement fee written in the agreement. There is no need to pay more. Berego did this out of kindness."May the deceased rest in peace." An Rui was silent for a moment, then suddenly broke the calm and raised the wine glass in his hand.  Berego glanced at An Rui, hesitated for a moment, raised the wine glass, and touched it with him.  "Ding." The wine glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound. The two of them raised their necks to drink at the same time, and drank the rest of the wine in one go.  ¡°Drinking can bring people closer, especially for men. After a glass of wine, the two of them seemed to get closer, losing their previous rawness.  "Berego, what are your plans in the future?" What An Rui said before was actually just a foreshadowing, and now he is finally getting to the point.  He came to Berego not just for chatting, but for an ulterior purpose.
