Greece brings evildoers - Chapter 474

c468 Your daughter is in my hands!

Half an hour later, in the cabin.

Hela and Holo each held their red and swollen buttocks and stood side by side miserably, like two primary school students in training.

Lorne sat on a chair, tapping the cane in his hand and asking coldly:

“Tell me, whose idea was it?”

“Holo!”

Hela raised her hand and pointed to the culprit on the side without hesitation.

Being stabbed in the back by an accomplice, Holo couldn’t help but angrily reprimanded:

“Are you selling me out now? You have no loyalty!”

“The teacher asked me, of course I would say it.”

Hela answered simply, with a matter-of-fact expression.

Hearing these very rude words, Holo touched her wolf ears unconfidently, muttering in her heart.

After all, who is the canine?

Besides, this is my home, and that’s my dad. If I want to be the dog’s leg, I should be the first to do it!

“The hand that pulls the sea!”

Holo unceremoniously chose to report on Hela, taking the initiative to confess Hela’s crimes, while not forgetting to excuse herself.

“It’s all because she wanted to find a dwarf to forge a sword, and we helped her out of kindness!”

“Is this how you help? Kidnap someone’s daughter back and stuff her in the cellar, and then force her to work for you?”

Lorne scolded with a dark face, and once again itched his hand and picked up the “Filial Whip for Sons and Daughters” beside him.

When Holo saw this, she quickly defended herself at the top of her lungs:

“Are we that stupid? If we want to redeem his daughter, just pay some money!”

Lorne was angry: “Isn’t this just kidnapping? You used the money to blackmail the dwarves to make swords for the dwarves. It’s really yours, Holo!”

Seeing that the cane in her old father’s hand was about to fall on her again, Holo immediately shrank behind Hela, dodging while defending herself:

“Transaction, that’s a normal transaction! We didn’t do anything bad!”

“You kidnapped people here and said it was a normal transaction?”

“Yes, we said we were treating, but we didn’t say we were paying! She lives here, eats and drinks from us, is the charge wrong?”

“…”

Hearing this confident rhetorical question, Lorne was speechless for a moment and fell into deep thought.

It seems to make sense…

What a ghost!

Lorne scolded Holo’s nonsense with a dark face:

“You are kidnapping an underage dwarf girl!”

“She is thirty years old, older than us and Hela combined. She came here willingly, is it our fault?”

“What about forced buying and selling?”

“Who told you not to give us money!”

Holo felt even more aggrieved and recounted her experience full of resentment.

“You don’t know that the craftsmen in the dwarf country are not big and have big appetites. They just make two swords and they dare to die for the labor fees!”

When Lorne heard this, his anger subsided, and he hummed and asked:

“How many?”

“twenty……”

“Twenty gold coins are too expensive for you? How expensive is it?”

Lorne’s voice rose, and he couldn’t help but glare at Holo.

“Isn’t it enough that you usually drink less mead and buy less apples?”

Holo’s face turned dark and she added angrily:

“It’s not a coin, it’s a car!”

“…”

In silence, Lorne’s facial muscles twitched, and then he pretended to be calm and replied,

“It’s not much, I can still get enough by saving.”

“Are you coming?”

“…”

Lorne coughed dryly, his eyes flickering.

“What did you just say? Oh, yes, your new friend’s name is Eden, right?”

“Stop pretending to be confused!”

Holo looked at her old father with disdain and snorted angrily,

“You’ve stolen the village’s annual harvest festival donation. It’s been so long and we haven’t seen a single hair!”

“Nonsense! Didn’t I give you pocket money?”

Lorne’s eyes widened and he stiffened his neck to retort.

Hearing this, Holo became even more angry.

“Only those mosquito legs are not enough to buy apples and mead every month. You use various excuses to cheat. How can we make a sword for Hela?”

Faced with the accusation from his adopted daughter, Lorne coughed with some guilt:

“There’s nothing we can do about it. Humanity in Zhongting has just started. Compared with other ethnic groups in the nine kingdoms, there is still a big gap in civilization. Money is needed everywhere. I only handled those donations and did not put them in my pocket. inside.”

“So, let me share your worries and find a way to get some money to make swords for Hela. But it turned out that you were lucky. One of them sold us, and the other picked up the cane and beat him up. It’s really a good wolf that doesn’t get rewarded…”

Holo looked at the two people in front of her with resentment, looking like she was about to cry, as if she was heartbroken.

However, after waiting for a long time, the tears still did not flow down.

Lorne was silent for a moment and reminded quietly:

“You can use Houttuynia cordata to make some eye drops and bring it with you. I’ll try it next time.”

Upon hearing this clever idea, Holo immediately put down her hands and took out a small notebook to write down in surprise.

Hela took a glance and found that it was filled with densely packed notes.

Almost all of them are the essence of the words and deeds of a certain God of Conspiracy…

Well, now she understood why the father and daughter were so similar.

Immediately, Hela withdrew her gaze, frowned, and brought the somewhat off-track topic back on track:

“What should Eden do now? Send him back?”

“Send him back for what? Let his biological father redeem him! Paying bills for meals and repaying debts is a matter of course. Odin must do the same when he comes!”

Lorne looked righteous.

Holo immediately beamed, flipping through her account book, and began to calculate Eden’s expenses during this period.

One superior bed, eight hundred gold coins;

Two plates of specialty dried fruits, seven hundred gold coins;

A pot of honey water, two hundred gold coins:

As a sacrifice, some meat from monsters and three thousand gold coins…

Hela just glanced at it, and her little heart was shocked.

Black, so dark!

In a human market, these things together might not be able to be sold for a hundred gold coins.

As a result, Holo added a few adjectives with just a few strokes, and the price more than doubled.

And Lorne couldn’t help but frowned when he looked at the bill that was quickly forming in Holo’s hand:

“Didn’t she just come here? Did she eat so much?”

“Of course! Coming all the way from the dwarf country, not to mention her, even Hela and I were so hungry that we could eat a cow.”

Holo spoke with a smile, and then added with a sly look on her face,

“So, I arranged her in a cellar full of food and wine, so that she could eat and drink well.”

Fishing law enforcement?

Lorne suddenly understood, and then coughed slightly:

“When I went there, she broke a bottle of wine.”

“Three hundred! No, three thousand gold coins!”

Hearing this, Holo excitedly made a few notes on the paper, piling up the total compensation to a height of 10,000.

However, as soon as this inflated quotation came out, Lorne looked over faintly and frowned.

When Holo saw this, she immediately shrank her neck, quickly crossed out the next two zeros, and changed her words with a dry smile:

“I remember wrongly, it should be thirty-one jars, worthless goods.”

“nonsense!”

Lorne stood up from his chair, furious.

“That’s the Asgardian fairy brew given to me by Odin! The ingredients include the fountain of wisdom from Jotunheim, the Fountain of Urd from Asgard, and the wheat from Heather Island’s first sacrifice to the gods… It’s very precious! The whole thing is very precious. There is only one of the nine kingdoms, and I am not willing to drink it myself. Thirty gold bricks are not enough. The market price is less than thirty cars. This is still a friendly price, no discount!”

Hela opened her mouth after hearing the angry declaration.

If I remember correctly, she and Holo should have brewed the jar of wine together. Because it was sour, no one drank it, so it was piled in the corner.

However, unlike the more upright Hela, the more agile Holo heard the implication and quickly changed her words:

“Yes, yes, we remembered wrongly. The friendly price is thirty carloads of gold coins per jar, no discount!”

But when it came time to write, she still hesitated.

It’s not that I have an attack of conscience, but I wonder if those stingy dwarves would believe such an outrageous price?

Seeing this, Lorne asked playfully:

“Holo, do you know what is the most important thing if you want to sell an item at a high price?”

“Control quality and control channels?”

Hearing the questioning tone, Holo subconsciously gave a more traditional answer.

But Lorne shook his head and spoke meaningfully:

“No, you have to learn to tell stories first. Only when something has a good story can it be sold at a premium that far exceeds its cost.”

The unexpected answer stunned Holo for a moment, but then she suddenly realized it.

That’s right!

A jar of sour wine is indeed worthless based on normal value. What if this jar of wine is proof of the friendship between God King Odin and his blood alliance brother Loki?

Thousands of years of time, the love of life and death, plus so many precious materials…

What’s wrong with thirty carts of gold? It’s really just the cost price!

Or, the other side wants to say that the friendship between Odin and Loki is not worth the price?

As she thought more deeply, Holo felt as if a door to a whole new world had opened in her mind, and she looked at her scheming old father with admiration.

Dad is indeed a dad, he has a lot of bad ideas!

Lorne enjoyed the admiration from his adopted daughter and felt quite contented.

Times are advancing, and new marketing and packaging thinking is a dimensionality-reducing blow to the ancient traditional business model.

“Cross out the rest and let those dwarves pay for the drinks.”

Hearing her father’s reminder, Holo complied with understanding.

Compared with thirty carts of gold and a jar of wine, the rest of these trivial charging items are not worth mentioning. Writing them in will easily lower their identity and status, making it really seem like they are extorting money.

“Now?”

“Call your dwarf friend up. We still have to face things that need to be faced.”

Lorne replied in a deep voice, his face full of helplessness.

When the critical moment was approaching, Holo took a sip and felt a little embarrassed:

“Isn’t this a bit too much? She is a good friend we have just made, and she even helped us point the way…”

“Thirty percent…”

“make a deal!”

Holo agreed without any pause in her tone.

After all, that’s 9 cars of gold!

As the common currency of the nine countries, and with its superior magical properties, this golden thing is loved by almost everyone.

If she hesitates for a second longer, she is disrespecting gold and the market!

Soon, Eden was called up from the cellar.

Looking at the two little friends who were beaten so badly in the cabin, the little Loli felt a sudden thought in her heart, and then she mustered up the courage to plead weakly to Lorne who was sitting in the seat with a sullen face:

“I came here, can I not punish them?”

“I beat them not because they wanted to entertain friends, but because they actually led people into my wine cellar and destroyed my treasured mead!”

Lorne explained the reason with a cold hum, looking distressed.

When the kind-hearted little Loli heard this, she immediately took on the responsibility:

“I did it, I’ll pay for it! It has nothing to do with them!”

“Goodbye, Eden, you can’t afford it.”

Holo on the side waved his hand dejectedly, and then tried to squeeze out a tragic smile towards his new friend,

“At most, we’ll get beaten up a few times.”

“How can that be! You’re so nice to me, playing with me, and treating me to a lot of delicious food. How can I let you be punished because of my own reasons!”

The little Lolita, who had been completely fooled, straightened her chest and walked forward bravely,

“How much does that jar of wine cost? I’ll make up for it!”

“Not much, just thirty carts of gold.”

Lorne snorted in response, and his tone towards Eden was not as friendly as before, as if he was worried about the damage to the wine.

Hearing this outrageous offer, Eden was stunned, and the little hand holding the purse trembled slightly.

Thirty carts of gold?

What kind of drink is so precious and worth so much!

As if seeing Eden’s doubts, Holo told the origin of the jar of wine with tears, and added her own artistic processing in the middle.

After listening, Eden opened his mouth and was speechless.

Well, the proof of the blood alliance between the God King Odin and the God of Fire Loki is that this wine is not expensive for thirty carts of gold.

“It doesn’t matter, Dad will beat me to death at most.”

Holo continued to play the good cop, with a style of sticking in the ribs for a friend.

The simple dwarf little loli couldn’t stand this kind of deception, and her head was hot, and she said loudly:

“Thirty carts of gold, I’ll give it!”

“Do you have so much money?” Lorne expressed doubt.

Eden answered honestly: “I don’t, but my father and uncles may be able to get enough.”

Lorne nodded and waved slightly:

“Well, contact them, and let your family come here to talk.”

Hearing this, Eden was as if pardoned, and hurried to the open space outside the house to build a resonance spell to communicate with his father.

Seeing her father lift it high and then put it down gently, Holo realized that she had been fooled.

No, his purpose was not to ask for money, but to use the excuse of asking for money to trick the dwarves into forging swords for Hela!

So, it was said that the profit would be split 30% and 70% after the event, but who knows how much she could get!

Holo’s nose was sour, and she looked at her cunning father with resentment.

“Liar!”

“Okay, look ahead, and when the matter is done, I guarantee that you will benefit, and it will be no less than the nine carts of gold.”

“Really?”

“I’m a dog if I lie to you!”

“You said it, and we recorded it.”

At this moment, Holo, who was about to cry just now, took out a flashing rune stone with a cunning smile on her face.

Seeing this, Loen’s face darkened. Just as he was about to pick up the cane to punish this unfilial daughter, the little loli Eden ran back:

“The spell is engraved.”

“Then why did you run back?”

“I, I dare not say…”

The little loli spoke shyly, timid and stupid.

Loen had no choice but to look at Hela on the side.

“You come.”

Since it was her business, Hela nodded without hesitation, then stepped to the open space outside the door, activated the resonance spell, and slowly spoke after thinking for a moment:

“Your daughter is in our hands!”

Suddenly, there was a sound of debris falling from the resonance spell, and a rough and angry roar echoed.

“Touch my daughter? I’ll fight you!”

“I advise you to calm down. You don’t want to miss her, do you?”

Hela reminded with a straight face, trying to appease the dwarf father’s emotions.

The effect was immediate, and the voice on the other side suddenly stopped:

“Don’t mess around, let’s talk it over, I only have one daughter.”

Hela wanted to get to the point, but Loen immediately cut off the resonance spell and scolded her with a black face:

“I asked you to notify, not to blackmail! You can’t even talk, go away, go away! Holo, you come!”

Then, he pushed Hela away and handed the task of communication to his more smooth and shrewd adopted daughter.

When the spell was reconnected, Holo stepped forward confidently and asked elegantly:

“Come to the Heath Island in the courtyard to pick up your daughter within three days, and bring 30 carts of gold, is that okay?”

“Clang~~”

The resonance spell heard a more violent collision, and the roar of gnashing teeth made people’s eardrums hurt:

“30 carts of gold? Why don’t you rob it?”

“Then, how about nine carts? The rest can be made up with forging materials and your craftsmanship.”

Without waiting for Holo to continue bargaining, Loen, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, forcibly cut off the communication again, and kicked away the unfilial daughter who was frantically smuggling goods in front of the resonance spell.

“Get lost!”

After two consecutive operational errors, Loen decided to personally go out and negotiate with the dwarf Ivald.

But as soon as he restarted the resonance spell, a voice of suppressed anger came from the other side.

“I can consider nine carts of gold, but I need to hear my daughter’s voice first, otherwise there’s no point in talking!”

Then, before Loen could speak, the other party took the initiative to cut off the connection.

Even though he tried several times, the other party hung up without giving him a chance to say more as soon as he heard the male voice, and even changed the communication code of the resonance spell.

The more he explained, the worse it got…

Loen had no choice but to give up his position and waved back weakly:

“Eden, you should explain it yourself.”

“Oh, oh oh…”

Hearing the shout, the cowardly and stupid little Lolita trembled, and tremblingly came to the resonance spell, waiting for the resonance spell to light up again, and then flattened her mouth, and cried with a slightly crying voice:

“Father, bring money to redeem me!”

Then, she looked at her two good friends who were beaten to pieces, and stated the seriousness of the problem.

“If it’s too late, people will die!”

“Bang!”

The resonance spell was broken by a violent magic.

Through the last scattered light, Loen vaguely saw a muscular red-bearded dwarf, carrying a forging hammer bigger than a mammoth’s head and rushing out of the house, calling friends and bringing hundreds of relatives and friends armed to the teeth, and killing towards the Heath Island in the courtyard world.

“You…”

Loen looked back at the three Lolita behind him who joined hands to strengthen him, and was speechless for a while.

This time, he really became a kidnapper.
