In the evening, Sphinx and Pluto returned to the tavern dejected, and the transaction was not going well.

When they saw the golden apple, Pluto swore in the name of tifun that it was absolutely genuine, but unexpectedly, the Marquis of NARS sat down and raised the price to 600 gold coins.

Ten million became twelve million, which seemed to increase little, but except for five hundred gold coins, they brought only two hundred silver coins, and they couldn\'t get any more money.

"There is no other way but to go back and tell the count," sighed the lioness.

"Tell the count? It will take half a month for us to come back!" Pluto\'s veins suddenly burst. "Tigray has prepared 600 gold coins. It\'s too late for us to come back!"

Tigray, a well-known rich businessman in origino, Manda heard them mention this man on the road. He was also interested in this golden apple.

Leond, who just woke up, was a little schadenfreude. He poured a glass of cider and sipped carelessly: "what else can we do? Can we grab it?"

Bruto roared, "even if I rob, I have to get it back. This is my only chance!"

Leond sneered: "I appreciate your courage, but don\'t expect me to help. This is the drawing City, not the small desert village where you were born!"

"I don\'t need your help!" Pluto gritted his teeth and looked at leond, with a layer of black gas on his body and some scales on his face.

Leond looked at Bruto with a smile. His body was also black, and a layer of black hair grew on his face.

Lioness must speak. Driven by despair and jealousy, don\'t expect these two men to have much reason.

"Sit down, or I\'ll let you all lie here." the lion woman\'s voice was not high, but the deterrent was enough. The two men sat on the bed. Leond continued to drink cider, and Pluto grabbed his long hair.

"It\'s just a hundred gold coins. You can always think of a way." Manda suddenly said.

"It\'s easy to hear what he said. He\'s worthy of being the Baron\'s son," leond laughed.

Sphinx sighed, took out a necklace from his skirt bag and put it on the table: "Tolo yaman bought it last month, worth seven gold coins."

No wonder her skirt always drops gold coins. Manda has seen this necklace and always shows a piece at the edge of the skirt.

Concentrate on one thing. Manda can see some illusions. According to his inference, these illusions represent the value of this thing. This is the first-order divine power given to Manda by the gods.

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

It seems that old yaman has made a lot of difference. This guy\'s heart is far from as good as it looks.

Pluto took off his sword and put it on the table: "it was made by the craftsman of the golden light city. It cost three gold coins to buy it."

Maybe it was worth so much when she bought it, but now Manda only saw a pile of silver coins. The sword body was rusted and the blade was notched. The sword is not worth a gold coin now.

Sphinx took off his earrings. Manda didn\'t bother to take a look. The earrings must have been bought by old yaman, with a value of no more than 40 silver coins.

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

To Manda\'s surprise, leond took out a gold chain from his backpack and patted it on the table. It was real pure gold. Manda looked intently for a while and saw three gold coins and a pile of silver coins.

It\'s strange. Why did leond help Pluto? This makes Manda a little confused about their relationship.

God power is used too often, but Manda doesn\'t know how to control himself. He has a bad headache and wants to vomit.

No one here cares about him. Everyone is counting their wealth.

According to their calculation, these things can sell up to 20 gold coins, but in Manda\'s view, these things are not worth even 10 gold coins.

Leond shook his head and said, "it seems that we really need to do business."

What he said about business is not business, but robbery. There are many businessmen living in the tavern. A few more tickets may be enough to collect 100 gold coins.

Sphinx obviously didn\'t agree with his idea: "you just said that this is the drawing city. There may be a divine punishment army and even a knights. If they find out, we can\'t leave alive!"

Leond sneered, "if you are as timid as a mouse, what qualifications do you have to get the name of God!"

Pluto got up and said, "I\'m not afraid. I\'ll do it myself. I won\'t trouble you!"

Sphinx said angrily, "are you crazy that we rob the Marquis\'s territory and expect to buy golden apples from him?"

Manda had a terrible headache. He really didn\'t want to hear them quarrel. He pointed to two boxes of smoke stones by the bed and said, "sell that. It\'s definitely worth a hundred gold coins."

"A hundred? As far as I know, the smoke stone of a carriage is worth at most one gold coin." Kunta bit his finger. He was not sure whether he should speak or not.

"These smoke stones are different! I\'m the Baron\'s son. Even if I\'m illegitimate, I\'ve seen good things. Find someone who knows the goods to sell them and hurry to change them for golden apples!" Manda rubbed his forehead hard, and his head was about to crack.

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

"Maybe you can try." there was a glimmer of hope in Pluto\'s eyes.

"But that\'s a gift for the Marquis, and a box for the count..." Kunta continued to bite her finger.

"As long as no one talks, we can act as if nothing has happened." leond poured another glass of wine.

"But where can I find someone who knows the goods?" the lioness fell into meditation.

……

The next day, Manda, who had slept all night, recovered some spirit. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the pendant in front of Kunta\'s chest. He quickly shifted his eyes and tried to avoid hallucinations.

Sphinx set out with Pluto and leond. They took 500 gold coins and two boxes of smoke stones and went to the Marquis\'s residence.

They discussed all night and came to the conclusion that Marquis NARS was the most knowledgeable person they knew.

Manda spent the whole morning practicing the method of controlling divine power. At first, the situation was very bad. As long as she stared at an object for three seconds, coins would fall from her eyes.

After dozens of attempts, he gradually found some feelings that could barely control his concentration.

When he focuses on more than 50%, he can see the vague illusion. When he focuses on 70%, the illusion becomes very clear. Continue to focus, and the forehead begins to ache. When the pain is unbearable, the illusion will disappear.

Practice like this until noon, Manda finally found a completely controllable way.

Put his index finger between his eyes. After turning into a cockfighting eye, he can clearly see the coins.

Then put your finger in your mouth and bite hard. The illusion will last for hours in pain.

The method looked silly, but it was very effective. Manda stood on the bed and laughed wildly, frightening Kunta into the quilt.

Manda smiled happily. Sphinx suddenly pushed the door and came in, holding Manda in a circle.

"Little guy, tell me what\'s red, green and gold!"

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

The lioness was not angry at all. She kissed Manda on her forehead: "little heart, you are so smart. NARS took those two boxes of smoke stones. They are really worth a hundred gold coins!"

Pluto walked into the room. His eyes were red. He seemed to have cried hard. He held a box in his hands and put it carefully on the table.

He knelt on his knees, raised his hands and began to pray. His voice was trembling and vague. Manda couldn\'t hear what he was saying.

Obviously, the wooden box contained golden apples. Manda asked, "did he get the name of God?"

Sphinx shook his head: "not yet. We have to go back to the temple of TIPHON to complete the sacrifice."

The last one who came in was leond, a three headed dog. He lay on the bed with his eyes as if he had lost his soul.

First gloating, then risking his life to help, and now jealous, Manda really can\'t understand leond\'s temperament.

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

"That won\'t work," Pluto shook his head. "It\'s a blasphemy against radon."

Kunta looked disappointed: "just one look, can\'t it?"

Pluto looked at Sphinx. Sphinx closed his mouth and smiled. "I don\'t think the Gods mind the eyes of admirers."

"Then... Take a look!"

Pluto carefully opened the exquisite wooden box, and the dazzling golden light immediately filled the whole room.

Manda stepped forward and looked at the Golden Apple slightly smaller than her fist in the box. From the radian of the fruit handle to the stripes on the peel, the apple made of pure gold was no different from the real apple, and even had the impulse to bite.

The round and smooth surface is free of edges, corners and defects. Such a perfect thing cannot come from the earth. It must be the fruit on the divine tree.

In addition to the loveless leond, the remaining four people surrounded the golden apple and were deeply intoxicated in the golden light.

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

As expected, gold coins appeared in front of her like a spring. This was a gift from Gaia to Zeus and Hera. Manda was really worried that her divine power was not enough and might be swallowed up by hallucinations.

Er... The situation is not quite the same as expected. The spring of gold coins didn\'t last long

Manda carefully counted it again and again, and her heart slowly hung up.

He bit his index finger hard, took back his power and said to Sphinx, "did you really see the rich merchant named Tigray?"

Sphinx nodded and said, "I see a man in his thirties. He said, he is Tigray."

So you don\'t know him.

Manda pursed her lips and looked at the tearful Bruto. She didn\'t know what to say for a moment.

Forty gold coins, only forty.

This golden apple is much cheaper than Manda expected.
