Balik took out a gold coin, put it in front of his eyes, and carefully observed it under the sunlight.
The surface of the gold coin had no impurities, it was smooth and flat, without even a carving.
He pinched the gold coin between his thumb and forefinger, rubbed it a few times, and put it back in front of his eyes.
He opened his left eye, closed his right eye, and stared at the small gold coin.
"Madam, is this your idea?"
Balik said, "If these shiny little things are real, then I have to say, the way you spend money is not very wise."
"Is this really valuable?"
Lulunaka smiled, "For me, it's just something that I forged out of boredom, there's no place to spend it."
Hearing this, Balik's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He put the empty gold coins into a small pouch. Originally, he wanted to tie the pouch tightly, but he couldn't help but take out a few more gold coins and place them in his palm.
"Minting coins is not the behavior of a good citizen, madam," he said to Lulunaka.
"About this."
Lulunaka intertwined her fingers and put them a little above her lower abdomen, which made her look more dignified. But her next words were completely different from the feeling she gave. "Why do you think I'm a good citizen?
Mr. Balik, in front of this shiny little thing, who can be a good citizen? "
"This temptation is really big."
Balik smiled and played with the gold coin in his hand, "But when doing business, sometimes you have to worry about your own safety. Otherwise, if you lose your life, there's no way to do business."
"I believe you will accept it," Lulunaka said, "Or rather, only people like you can accept this kind of thing.
If it was someone else, I wouldn't necessarily take out this money bag.
Shiny things will bring wealth, but if it's given to the wrong person, it will probably bring death. "
"You mean they won't bring death to me?" Balik asked.
Lulunaka grinned, "You're Balik Jinbei. Things like gold should be as common as breathing for you.
When I saw you, I thought, Oh my god, this is a dwarf with golden light. He's much more likable than those old iron men with the smell of mud and molten iron. "
Balik replied with a polite smile. "I have to thank you for your compliment, madam. But for me, this compliment is a bit too much to bear."
Lulunaka sighed and shrugged, "Do you mean you don't want to accept this?
Well, I still have some double-headed eagle gold coins here. Although they're old things from decades ago, they're still better than those coins that pretend to be gold coins with gold plates on them … "
Lulunaka reached out and wanted to take back the money bag full of gold coins, but Balik's hand retracted, making Lulunaka grab empty air. "Madam, if there's no good reason for a transaction, you can't go back on it."
Lulunaka's outstretched hand opened and closed, only to grab the air, but her face was full of happy expression, "That's right, Mr. Balik.
Gold coins with such high purity, and without any patterns, isn't this the best currency?
No one will go against gold, and you're the same. "
"This is not greed, madam."
Balik smiled, "Since both sides think this transaction is reasonable, then there's no problem.
And when doing business, you still need to have a minimum of trust in the other party, even if the other party is just someone you just met. "
Balik stuffed the gold coins in his palm into the money bag, tied it tightly, and put it in his arms.
"I also believe you, madam. An elder like you wouldn't play with an honest person like me, right?"
"You don't believe the gold coins I gave you?"
"No, I don't believe it."
Balik said bluntly, but he immediately followed up with another sentence, "But I believe you, madam."
Lulunaka's eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Balik."
"Likewise, madam."
Balik smiled, "When doing business, although there are fewer concerns, if there's trust as a foundation, it's still a lot easier."
Lulunaka maintained her smile and didn't answer.
She didn't think that Balik would really believe her unconditionally. He probably had a lot of work to do after going back, such as finding out Lulunaka's background, checking whether there was anything suspicious about the gold coins, and whether there were more secrets that he didn't know about in this courtyard that he had bought for decades …
Businessmen were always like this. Lulunaka didn't mind. Even if he was really suspicious, in the end, he could only scratch his head and not find anything.
Lulunaka didn't think that there was anything suspicious about her. She didn't have any intention of causing trouble or doing bad things after returning to the King's Castle. She just came back, that was all.
"I'll bring the other ownership over tomorrow."
Balik said, and then looked around, "I don't think we can stay here for the time being. Madam, if you're willing, you're welcome to stay in my hotel temporarily."
Lulunaka shook her head, "I can't sleep well if I don't stay in a place that I'm used to, even if I have a pillow. Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Balik.
If this business makes you satisfied, I hope you can prepare something for me.
Don't worry, it's not something dangerous. If it's you, you can definitely arrange it for me easily … "
When Pasta and Julius returned to the courtyard, Balik had already left. Only Lulunaka was still there.
Lulunaka was squatting beside a messy grass, pulling out the grass with her hands.
Hearing Pasta and Julius' movements, she turned her head to take a look, then turned back to focus on her weeding work. "Go get those small sickles and shovels. Don't just stand there."
Julius hurriedly returned to the side of the Ingenious and brought over the tools he had brought with him.
Everyone had a small sickle in their hands, and they began to weed the yard. Ward also ran over and used his mouth to bite off the weeds.
The yard wasn't big. Although there were a lot of weeds, it wasn't to the extent that three people and a dog couldn't clean it up.
The weeds were piled up to one side. If there was a need to use them as fuel, it was a suitable choice.
Lulunaka put the sickle aside, touched the pocket at her waist, and then touched her back.
She pulled out her cane from behind her back, but no one saw where she pulled it out from. Her cloak shouldn't be able to hold such a slender thing without leaving a trace.
"Go into the room and check if there's any place that's old enough to collapse. If there is, be careful. If not, check the ceiling and walls.
I don't want to be hit by the wall when I'm sleeping. "
Julius was a little hesitant. "Isn't this place said to be haunted?"
Lulunaka looked at Julius with a little surprise. "Little hero, are you really afraid of ghosts?
So afraid that you don't even dare to go in during the day? "She shook her head and made a tsk tsk sound. It sounded like pity, but more like ridicule.
In the end, Julius blushed and followed Pasta in.
Lulunaka turned the cane, took out a fiery red crystal from her pocket, and embedded it in the front of the cane.
She pointed the front of the cane at the ground, and a small flame shot out from the crystal, landing on the old floor and cracks.
"Weeding has to be done carefully, or else it will grow back." Lulunaka muttered to herself, humming a cheerful tune, and walked around the yard.
