Chapter 95: I’m Super Rich!

Translator: Lonelytree

There were a few tables of people sitting in the hall downstairs.

When he saw Matthew, Innkeeper Trogg immediately greeted him warmly, “Are you alright? When I passed by your room this morning, I smelled something tragic. Do you need me to buy some holy water for you?”

Matthew smiled and shook his head. “No need, Mr. Trogg. I’m fine now.”

Trogg looked at Matthew in surprise, then turned to a corner of the hall and said, “The guide you asked for has been found. Here, that’s Old Lucky, the best guide in Marsh Water City. He’s been through the rainforest 78 times without a scratch. He was also the one who led Li Weiqi to the Arunay Sea.”

Matthew looked around and saw a dark-skinned, taciturn old man.

He looked like he was in his fifties or sixties. His beard was light and white, and his eyes were sharp. He was sitting quietly at a table, smoking a pipe.

He met Matthew’s gaze and nodded gently.

“Matthew, you have to be careful. This person has killed several people!”

Matthew’s chest suddenly bulged, and it was Ella’s small head that popped out from her lapel to remind him.

Matthew nodded, indicating that he understood.

However, he didn’t really care. How could someone who could survive through the rainforest many times be a good person?

And in terms of kill streaks, Matthew had quite a few too. Thus, he walked over openly and extended his right hand.

“Hello, Mr. Guide.”

Old Lucky glanced at him and moved away from the smoke. After exhaling a circle of smoke, he shook his head and said, “Just call me Old Lucky. In addition, young man, I have to give you a piece of advice. Don’t casually extend your hand to others in Marsh Water City. Normal people won’t shake hands with you. Those who shake hands with you will usually infect you with the plague. ”

Matthew looked enlightened. “I understand. Thank you, Old Lucky.”

“Trogg told me that you’re going to the Arunay Sea?” Old Ji asked, “What are you going to do?”

Matthew thought for a moment. “Just strolling around and enjoying the scenery on the sea?”

Old Lucky laughed.” You might as well say that you want to see the body of a jungle woman. At least, when the last customer told me that, I believed him.” As he spoke, his expression turned serious.

“I can take you there, but you have to listen to me completely along the way! Remember, don’t mess with Jangos, don’t stuff anything into your mouth, and don’t jump on any woman you see.”

Matthew said with interest, “Are there any explanations for these three prohibited matters?”

Old Lucky tapped his cigarette butt on the table.

“There’s no explanation. It’s just three lives. The guest who provoked the Jangos had his head cut off, and to this day, you could still see a piece of art made from his skull in a headhunter tribe in the eastern part of the rainforest.

“The man who grabbed wild berries and ate them had been rotting in the swamp for seven to eight years.

“As for the last guest, he had once spent a night with a Jango native. In the end, he abandoned the woman who begged him not to go. In the end, half of his face and his entire penis were eaten by a voodoo worm.”

Matthew’s face revealed a horrified expression.

“But as long as you listen to me and don’t cause trouble, the path I’m taking you on will be very safe. Unfortunately, with my many years of experience as a guide, it was really difficult to keep my employer from causing trouble. Some people just didn’t have any brains at all.” As he spoke, he kept sizing Matthew up.

“I hope you’re not that kind of person.”

I’ll listen to your advice to the greatest extent in the rainforest,” Matthew said.” I won’t cause trouble unless it’s necessary.”

Old Lucky put away his pipe. ” That’s for the best. Here’s a list of essential items for crossing the rainforest. Take it to the market and buy it yourself. We’ll set off tomorrow morning. Oh right, you’re not the only guest I have this time. There’s another guy who came to replace me yesterday. He’s the one who claimed to want to experience the ‘fiery nature’ of the jungle women. He’ll be traveling with us for a while.”

“What kind of guest is that?” Matthew asked curiously.

For the first time, a complicated expression appeared on Old Lucky’s face.

“It’s hard to describe. He’s a bard.”

At this moment, a young man with a buzz cut and bare feet walked in from outside the inn.

As soon as he entered, he walked towards Matthew with a smile.

“Oh, my dear Old Lucky, is this the companion who will be crossing the rainforest with us?”

Without waiting for Old Lucky to agree, he leaned over and wanted to give Matthew a big hug.

“Old Lucky lectured me yesterday that I shouldn’t shake hands with people casually in Marsh Water City. I think I can only use a hug to express my

“Hahaha!

“The talented bard Lorraine was about to embark on a journey through the terrifying rainforest with his passerby companion.

“This is really exciting!”

Matthew glanced at the man’s unusually thick chest hair and avoided him without batting an eyelid. “I’m Matthew.”

He introduced himself briefly.

“Good name, Matthew. You’ll be the name of the main character in my next work!”

Lorraine did not mind Matthew’s evasion at all. He leaned against the wall pillar with a confident smile on his face.

“You don’t look too good. Do you need holy water? I bought a lot.” Matthew was about to refuse.

Unexpectedly, the other party conjured a set of light blue glass tubes and stuffed them into Matthew’s hands.

” Even if you’re not sick, it’s fine. Keep it for future use. There are many insects and snakes in the rainforest, and it’ll come in handy. Don’t worry that I’ll harm you. Look at the packaging of the holy water. It’s just bought from the Feathered Serpent Temple and hasn’t been opened yet!

“Don’t refuse. Old Lucky also received my holy water. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

Matthew looked at the old man in confusion.

The latter shrugged.

Matthew hesitated for a moment. This set of holy water was indeed unopened.

Even the price tag was not torn off. On it was written, “20 gold coins/6 bottles.”

Loraine’s enthusiasm made Matthew uncomfortable.

He declined several times.

However, the other party’s expression showed that he would turn hostile if Matthew did not accept it. In the end, Matthew accepted the gift.

“That’s it!”

Loraine patted Matthew’s shoulder happily and said, “Now that you have accept the gifted, you are my true friend!

“I once stayed in Cloud Edge City for a while. You know the cloud elves there, right? They are known for their arrogance and rarely interact with humans. However, they get along very well with me.

“Later, someone couldn’t help but ask me, ‘Lorraine, what’s so special about you that the proud Cloud Elves would befriend you?”‘

“And my answer was only one sentence”I’m super rich!”

His words caught the attention of a few people in the hall.

Pairs of malicious gazes were cast over.

However, Lorraine was not afraid at all. He smiled and pulled open his robe, revealing the scrolls and charms on his belt. He said to the others,

‘ Everyone, don’t think of attacking me just because I’m rich. Do you see that?” Forbidden Spell Scroll ” and ” Legendary Talisman Don’t risk your life for a little money. It’s not worth it.

‘You have to know that a truly rich person has a lot of life-saving things. Don’t use your life to test my wallet.”

In the hall.

Old Lucky smoked his cigarette silently.

The others slowly retracted their greedy gazes.

Matthew looked at Lorraine curiously. Were all the rich people in this world so ostentatious?

Lorraine seemed to be interested in him. He pulled Matthew to sit down and asked Trogq to bring some local specialties up. Then, they started chattinq non-stop.

Most of the time, Lorraine was the one who was talking.

“Why did I become a wandering bard? Because I didn’t have any talent in other aspects!

“I was born into a super-rich family. My grandfather was a Great Mage, and my father only knew how to wield knives and guns. I’m the only son of this generation, but I’m useless in both magic and strength.

“My mother was very worried about this. She was afraid that I would not be able to keep the family business, so she found her first love, a legendary bard who was unrestrained. She asked him how to raise her son into a powerful bard.

“The man replied, ‘Give your son a large sum of money and let him wander in the big city. Tell him to go in and out of women. After experiencing a lot, he will naturally become a bard.’

“My mother believed in her first love, so when I was seventeen, I took a large sum of money and went to Deep Blue Harbor alone.

“That person was right.

“After more than ten years of torment, I achieved nothing, and then I became a bard.

‘ Before I came to Marsh Water City, I stayed in ‘Smandy’ for a while. It was rich in perfume, spices, and beauties. It was also known as the ‘City of Hundred Flowers.’

“I was doing well in Smandy. I have a lot of friends.

“To tell you the truth, I didn’t want to leave, there were a lot of attractive women in Smandy-

“The taste of a noble lady made me linger, and the fragrance of a young girl also made me intoxicated.

“But the distance called me, and I met with a sign from heaven in Smandy-

“Afterwards, I realized that if I wanted to write better works, I had to experience more new things. So I had to reject my tearful lovers and came to this mountain city in the north of the rainforest. Speaking of which, we were about to enter the rainforest. It was really exciting.”

Hearing this, Matthew couldn’t help but ask, “A revelation from the heavens?”

Lorraine replied lazily, “There was one time when I was having an affair with a rich lady and her daughter and was discovered by the male owner of the house. His family immediately went crazy.”

Matthew gasped.

“That scene must be very embarrassing.” Matthew said.

“Indeed.

“Especially when the man questioned me in front of his wife and daughter. At that moment, I instantly realized that this was a revelation from God, it was time to leave the City of Flowers.”

This time, it wasn’t just Matthew.

Even Ella, who was lying on his chest and listening with relish, was stunned!

“I’m just joking!”

Loraine suddenly laughed.

“Do you really believe that I can sleep with their entire family?

“Even the worst bard would employ a cliffhanger at the end of a piece of work. This was a necessary move to attract the audience.

“As for the real reason why I left Hundred Flowers City, I’ll tell you next time.

“It’s getting late. We should go to the market to buy the things on the list. Eh, where’s Old Lucky?”
