Chapter 119: Being Willful With a Strategy
"Of course, I really like your Sailor’s Song. This kind of song is for men and for the sea," Karoso said. "Even though your performance lacks a bit of momentum, I can smell rum in your voice."
"You like sailors too?" Elizabeth’s eyes lit up.
"To be precise, I long for the life of a pirate. No man can resist the sea. My dream is to one day step onto the Forbidden Sea, to search for endless treasures and uncover hidden answers in history," Karoso revealed a slight smile. "Unfortunately, your singing currently doesn’t inspire me to set sail."
[Yes, keep chatting with her until she gets confused!]
[With us around, it’s easy to trick her into bed!]
[Hahaha… This girl really looks innocent now.]
[Wanting to be a pirate and sail the seas is exciting but scary at the same time. She doesn’t know why she’s determined to do it.]
[This hole still needs to be filled.]
[Caption (New Folder): Almost done, almost done.]
Hearing Karoso’s words, Elizabeth got very excited.
She knows very well what those men like about her. When they see her, it’s like they want to strip her naked.
Even those who appear polite on the outside have wild beasts hidden in their hearts.
Those men were willing to give her money, give her gifts, all because they wanted something from her body.
Even when talking to her about music, they only talked about classical music and love, thinking that’s what girls like.
But this boy in front of her? Though young, he dreams of the sea, enjoys the songs at the ballroom, like the sailor songs that I sang spontaneously!
Why did the ballroom arrange things this way, Elizabeth knew very well, the guests were not dreaming of the sea, but wanted to see the dancers in sailor outfits.
Only he, he cared about the ocean in my voice!
Especially, he liked not just the sea, but also the life of pirates!
In Elizabeth’s mind, pirates symbolize freedom, breaking free from constraints, away from the troubles on land.
Moreover, he discovered the issues in my singing voice, showing that he wasn’t just casually speaking, he was serious!
How could someone like me, who has never sailed far, who has never lived the life of a sailor, sing with that kind of feeling?
"I’m sorry I didn’t get to go on the voyage, but next time, this song will be played in the City of Freedom," said Elizabeth firmly. "I’ll save the best spot for you so you can see me grow!"
"Alright, for this spot and this song, I’ll make two more cards for you," Karoso said. "I’ll make one more for you, it will cost you four hundred Magic Crystal Coins, no bargaining."
"Really?" Elizabeth said happily. "How about this, not only will I save you a spot, but I’ll cover your expenses when you come!"
Elizabeth paused and said cautiously, "But please don’t make it too expensive, I don’t have that much money…"
"Sure," Karoso smiled and walked into the mobile laboratory with Neymar.
……
In the lab, Karoso started making the card, feeling more relaxed this time with some experience.
"Big brother, when did you become interested in the sea?" Neymar asked curiously.
"I’ve always been interested," Karoso said. "You just didn’t know."
Neymar looked puzzled, wondering if her brother was more interested in the woman than in the sea?
No, no, how could that be? She’s already twenty-two, practically an old woman.
"Charging her only four hundred Magic Crystal Coins is a big loss," Neymar complained.
"Actually, the materials we used cost less than ten Magic Crystal Coins…" Karoso said helplessly.
"Oh…" Neymar suddenly realized that Karoso’s Cards were selling at sky-high prices!
A blue card for a hundred Magic Crystal Coins is a treatment reserved for six-star cards, and it must be special too.
For a thousand Magic Crystal Coins, you would expect a seven-star blue card, with unique features and practical techniques from the Card Maker inside.
A three-star blue card is expensive, even at ten Magic Crystal Coins each. Five Magic Crystal Coins would be more reasonable, but it still needs special techniques.
Of course, when it comes to epic legends, the prices for Legend Cards can be justified. After all, the materials for those are expensive, and there are very few three-star dungeons that can be cleared at an S-class level. Even if you manage to clear them, it’s still a matter of luck to obtain such rare materials, like Teresa who didn’t get any epic-level materials, let alone legendary ones.
In less than two hours, Karoso and Neymar walked out with the cards.
The capital at this time was still brightly lit, there aren’t many cities in the continent that stay awake all night, the capital is one of them.
Especially on this special holiday, although the number of people in the city at this time was about half less, it was still very lively.
Seeing her own card, Elizabeth had a happy smile on her face.
She quickly gave the money to Karoso and put away the four cards, "Can we exchange contact information?"
"Okay." Karoso took out the Communication Magic Stone, touched it with her, and they considered it as exchanging contact information.
"Then, remember to come see me at the concert in the City of Freedom!" Elizabeth waved at Karoso, "It’s on January 6th, you should be on vacation."
On January 1st, the great continent war ended, marking the beginning of this new era, two weeks after the end of the one-star period on January 1st, there would be a three-week holiday, which is equivalent to New Year in this world.
"Okay, I will go see it." Karoso raised his eyebrows.
After saying goodbye to Elizabeth, Karoso closed up shop, too.
The following matters were taken care of by Kirmin. Karoso and Neymar went their separate ways and returned to school. Karoso walked straight to his dormitory.
[Master Karoso, won’t you walk me home?]
[Of course, we should at least walk you to your dormitory, right?]
"Why walk me home?" Karoso asked curiously. "She’s strong enough to handle herself."
"Besides, this is a school, there are many skilled individuals here."
[Hmm, it seems difficult to explain this to Master Karoso.]
[Anyway, next time you must walk her, no matter why!]
"Okay." Karoso decided not to dwell on it since the bullet comment insisted.
When he arrived at the dormitory door, he got a fright.
There was Alita, crouching at her door with dark circles under her eyes, cigarette butts scattered all over the floor.
"Teacher Alita, what’s going on?" Karoso furrowed his brow.
"Finally, you’re back…" Alita sighed, "I thought all those annoying people were attracted away by Null and 『』, but now my dormitory is surrounded by all the card-making teachers!"
"Damn, if you didn’t come back soon, I was going to come find you. Quickly tell me how to make that useless Zero-star Card!"
It’s hard to say whether she was too eager to find out for herself or just didn’t want to deal with those people.
