MTL - He is From Great Sea of Stars-Chapter 58 descendants of god

After Huo Xingchao returned to the city, he was not in a hurry to go home, but went to the shop to dispose of the amber core in his hand.

Indeed, as Isa said, there is a price difference between the civilian area and the noble area, and the difference is not so big.

Therefore, many businessmen in the inner area will choose to collect amber animal skins and so on in the civilian area, and then sell it in the noble area to earn the difference.

But what Isa didn't know was that although Huo Xingchao's school was closer to the civilian area, it was still within the aristocratic area.

From the Imperial School to the Nolan School, he spent ten or so years in the inner district, and he knew the streets and alleys better than the native aristocrats like them.

At the junction of the inner area and the civilian area, Huo Xing showed his student ID to the security guard beside the gate to obtain the pass.

However, because the school shown on the student's certificate was Nolan School, and he had just returned from outside the city, dressed in sackcloth and linen, stained with blood and stains, the guards could not help frowning when they checked, and there were a few words in the words. high-ranking mockery,

"Boy, after you go in, wash yourself. Well, turn left and there is a big bathhouse. It's specially designed for you. It's not expensive. Two Tia coins are enough. If you can't get it together, brother Let me lend you some."

.....

In this world, there are two kinds of people that Huo Xingchao finds the most amazing.

One is a person who is clearly evil, but always beautifies it with justice, and in the end even believes in himself, and is even moved by it.

The other is people who look down on themselves, but always look high on themselves.

He raised his eyes slightly, with no expression on his face, "Hello."

"You put your badge upside down."

"What, what"

The guard was taken aback, and quickly lowered his head and sorted out his badge.

"Hey, your kid's eyes are really sharp..."

There was no sign of the young man in front of him.

A little further to the left front, you can see a tall and straight back, coarse linen clothes, dirt and bloodstains, but in a group of well-dressed people, it looks unexpectedly outstanding.

It is like a pine tree in the colorful garden.

......

Huo Xing walked through several alleys and walked into a bar.

This bar is open deep in the alley, without even a signboard. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary residential house.

But as soon as I walked in, the whole environment instantly darkened.

There were eerie dark lights all around. The wine gurgled through the glass tube above the head, accompanied by the noise of the drinkers and the charming smile of the dancers, creating an atmosphere of a wine pond and a forest of meat.

He walked to the bar, knocked on the table, half-length on the high chair, and said nothing.

But as soon as the bartender saw him, he recognized him, turned his head back, and raised his voice, "Sister Man, another customer is coming for you."

The small wooden door at the back was opened, and a plump and charming woman came out with heavy makeup. As soon as her eyelashes were raised, her eyes fell on the young man, her lips curved, and there was a slight smile in her voice.

"It's Xiaoxingchao, what's the matter, are you doing business with my sister again?"

Huo Xingchao nodded slightly, his tone was light,

"What price can you offer for a gold-level water attribute?"

The woman raised her eyebrows.

This place was brought to Huo Xingchao by a senior who was also promoted from a civilian area when he was still at the Imperial School.

Sister Man's price is very suitable, not too high, but at least not low. Moreover, she is a sixth-level doctor, and the herbs Ermi has used for her eyes over the years are all prepared by Sister Man with the help of her.

So even if sometimes Huo Xingchao could find a buyer with a higher bid, he would still choose to sell it to Sister Man.

"Golden tier?"

Sister Man stretched out her hand with a bit of caution in her tone.

"Show me."

As soon as the boy raised his hand at will, a golden light flew towards the woman's palm.

The crystal clear amber core is engraved with the shape of a large golden lizard.

The texture is very clear, and when you hold it in your hand, you can faintly feel the water element adsorbed around it.

Sister Man held it in her hand, smiled, and stretched out her left hand to compare the number.

What Isa finally offered was three times the average price in the civilian area.

And what Sister Man gives is twice the average price.

Huo Xingchao simply nodded, "Okay."

His fingertips tapped on the counter, and then he took out a book from the storage box. His voice was slow, "Sister Man, do you have the next medical book?"

"You finished so soon?"

The woman was a little surprised. She took the elementary medical manual in his hand and flipped through it. It was clean, with no creases or notes.

It's like new.

The medical classics are classics that medical practitioners must learn. Passed down from generation to generation, there are more and more prescriptions and medical skills recorded in it, which can be regarded as an inexhaustible treasure book for ordinary doctors in their lives.

But there are only the most basic entry-level medical books on the market.

The junior high school seniors in the back cannot be bought by buying them. They are all in the hands of nobles and high-level doctors. If ordinary people want to see, they must obtain channels to borrow from them.

Coincidentally, Sister Man is a high-level doctor, and she has a complete medical book in her hand.

She is not unwilling to borrow them. After all, although these books are very rare in the eyes of commoners and minor nobles, for many people in the inner district, they are basically as common as children's fairy tales.

What was more surprising to her was that it took Huo Xingchao less than half a month to read the basic medical manual.

"Are you all down?"

"No."

The young man said lightly, "I just need to read it once and find a prescription for eye diseases."

.......All right.

Thinking of that cute and clever little girl, Sister Man felt a little pity, so she waved her hand, and two thick books appeared on the table.

"This is the intermediate and senior level in the back. Take it back and see. There is definitely no intermediate level. As for the senior level, I'm not sure. If you can find it, let me know."

Huo Xingchao nodded, collected the books and reward, then turned and left the bar.

After he left, the bartender at the counter was still curious, and leaned over, "Sister Man, why are you being so nice to this commoner boy?"

"Aren't you a commoner boy?"

Sister Man rolled his eyes at him, holding up the wine glass on the table, next to the crystal blue wine was the gorgeous Kodan, her voice was low and enchanting, lazily,

"If you can look so good-looking and bring me some business from time to time, I'll be nice to you too."

"...Who is like him, he is young, and every time he comes back here, he never drinks. Instead, he carries such a large amount of amber cores, and he is a murderer."

......

After Huo Xingchao left the bar, he bought some bread, milk and spirits bandages, and found a small hotel to settle his lunch and wounds.

To be honest, if it was an ordinary person, like him, who just left the injury like this for more than an hour and ignored it, he might have died a long time ago.

But Huo Xingchao's powerful self-healing ability as a half-orc made him live a very capricious life.

So after finishing everything and opening the door to the yard, Huo Xingchao turned into that handsome boy in sackcloth and linen but neatly dressed.

The stepmother is sewing quilts in the yard, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. But before the Chinese New Year, the cold wave outside the city will be overwhelming.

Counting the days, it is almost in the past few days, many cold-proof things must be prepared quickly.

In the past, many people in civilian areas were frozen to death before the Chinese New Year, because of this annual cold wave that was never absent.

Huo Xingchao walked over and handed her the card in his hand.

The stepmother raised her head, slightly surprised.

"This is Ermi's school money. I have deposited it for ten years according to the standard of the Imperial School. I put it with you. You can collect it for her."

The stepmother was stunned, then quickly wiped her hands and took the card, her eyes full of emotion and guilt, "Xingchao, I've made you worry."

"It's nothing, Ermi is also my sister, I can't let her even afford to go to school."

The teenager nodded slightly at her, took out the things in the storage box, and walked into the house.

The Huo family's inner room is not big, with a kitchen room and two bedrooms, one for Huo Xingchao, one for Ermi and her mother, and a small chicken coop and a latrine in the yard.

Huo Xingchao opened the curtain of the back room and saw the little girl who had just woken up from a nap, lying on the bed and rubbing her eyes.

As soon as she heard the voice, the little girl turned her head with a swish, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her voice was clear, "Brother!"

He curled his lips, smiled faintly, picked her up from the bed, and put her shoes on.

"Come on, let's go eat candy in the yard and enjoy the sun."

Huo Xingchao carried the little girl into the yard, let her sit on his lap, then combed her soft hair with a wooden comb, and handed her the sugar bowl in his hand.

"Is this the star candy my brother said?"

"Yes. You see, it looks like a star."

"Is this what stars are like?"

Ermi was a little curious, "Are there five horns?"

She unscrewed the mouth of the jar, took one out, carefully peeled it off, and put the first one into Huo Xingchao's mouth, blinking expectantly,

"Sweet?"

"sweet."

She giggled contentedly, then peeled off another one and ate it herself.

Huo Xingchao tied her pigtails and found that she was looking up at the sky again, so he lightly pressed his small head with his hand.

"Don't keep looking at the sun, be careful of your eyes hurting."

"Oh."

The little girl bowed her head obediently, thought for a while, and asked him curiously, "Brother, what color is the sun?"

"Golden."

"What color is gold?"

"Gold is the color of Ermi's hair."

Ermi touched her hair and widened her eyes, "Is my hair the same color as the sun?"

She grinned, a little happy, "Then my hair must look good."

The boy licked the corners of his lips and tied a bow to her braid,

"Because Ermi is the most beautiful little girl in the world."

"So are you, brother."

The little girl turned her head and said every word seriously, "Brother, you are also the most beautiful brother in the world."

......

When I was little, I thought the world was like this.

Everyone is like me. The colors they see are not so bright, and the sun is too strong to feel a little scary. No matter what kind of bows are made on the little skirt, they are all the same color.

But then I gradually discovered that it wasn't.

At the beginning, it was sad.

I thought about it, but I couldn't figure out what many, many colors look like.

But then gradually, I realized that it doesn't really matter.

My brother said that the reason why people expect a lot is because they haven't gotten it. When such a thing is really placed in front of him, it may not be so rare.

Just like star candy.

—I felt that way when I was four years old.

- After many, many years, I still feel that way.

The most precious thing in this world is not what you expect.

but what you have.
