Chapter 396: When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do
"What, you don't have any spirit coins."
Delis's excited scream came from the store.
Yun Qimu and Yun Qichen looked at each other, stopped talking, and then quickened their pace and walked into the store.
In the clothing store, Fitzrod Capet, who had changed into a gorgeous tuxedo, stood there elegantly and aristocratically, with a black cloak draped over his arm. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like an elegant vampire standing in the banquet hall attending a banquet.
But his expression at this moment was far from elegant. The corners of his mouth drooped, his face was a little stiff, and he looked like he wanted to be angry but couldn't stand.
Then he looked at Delis, who was standing in front of him, with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open on her pretty face, and a look of disbelief.
Yun Qimu walked over and looked at them curiously, then asked, "What happened?"
"Delis, I heard your screams from outside."
"Village Chief Yun." Delis immediately came to her senses, her face fell, and she ran over to hold Yun Qimu's arm.
With a small look, he watched Fitzrad complain to Yun Qimu in a wronged tone, "Prince Fitzrad doesn't have enough spirit coins to pay for the clothes I made. He said the price wasn't a problem before, but now he says it's not worth it. Humph, the gems on the clothes were all dug by Agulai himself in the snowy mountains, and some were found in treasure chests. They must be good things."
"Those five green jewels on the chest cost 100 spirit coins each, so five would be 500 spirit coins. Add to that the other beautiful stones I carefully inlaid, and I charged him 3,000 spirit coins for the whole suit, which isn't too much. You know, custom-made clothes are very expensive."
Fitzrad's expression was not very good either. Three thousand spirit coins were equal to 300,000 energy coins. A piece of clothing designed by a small clothing store owner actually cost 300,000 energy coins.
Although the design requirements for the clothes were all based on his wishes, the fashion industry values ​​qualifications and fame. Fitzroyd obviously did not think that the qualifications and fame of a small clothing store owner could be compared with those of their vampire design masters.
So he absolutely would not acknowledge this price, otherwise he would be the sucker that the vampire maid was talking about.
Fitzroyd frowned and tried to reason with her. "Ms. Delis, I know you're very satisfied with your design, but no matter how satisfied you are, you have to admit that your design hasn't reached the level and reputation of a master designer. Your pricing does have some issues, so..."
Yun Qimu raised his hand to interrupt the prince, raised an eyebrow, and said coldly, "Fitzrad, this is the global village, not the vampire clan. The price of clothes is determined by the owner of the clothing store."
Fitzrod's expression was difficult. "But."
Yun Qimu glanced at him and continued forcefully, "No buts. Once you enter the global village, you must abide by its rules. I believe Your Excellency the Prince should know the saying 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.'"
Fitzrod: ".Maybe I've heard of it."
Fitzroyd felt as if he had entered a den of thieves.
Yun Qimu looked at him calmly, "That's good. Does Your Excellency have any objections now?"
Fitzrod pursed his pale lips in silence, lowering his noble head in depression. "No."
Yun Qimu nodded and pronounced, "That's good. We'll follow Delis's pricing. If Your Excellency doesn't have enough spirit coins to pay, you can go to the mission hall to borrow money first. Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I need to remind Your Excellency. That is, you must become a Global Village resident to have the opportunity to borrow money. Once Your Excellency joins the Global Village, you'll understand why the clothes in our store are so expensive."
Delis was delighted and nodded in agreement. She then began to explain in a good mood, "Yes, yes, the prices of my clothes are all based on facts. Actually, Your Excellency, you misunderstood. It's not my designs that are expensive, it's the gems on the clothes."
"These gems are just unknown stones that look like gems. Maybe one of them is some precious mineral. Just one of them is worth 300,000 spirit coins. You should know that the stones produced in our Global Village are all useful. Just like what Village Chief Yun said, as long as Your Excellency joins the Global Village, you will know how magical our Global Village is. The products of the Earth are definitely not ordinary. If it weren't for my inability to conjure gems, I would never have used these stones to decorate your clothes. Maybe I'm at a loss."
After this explanation, Fitzroyd's expression improved a little.
But there was still doubt in his eyes.
Even if these unknown stones are beautiful, can they be more expensive than real gems?
But now that things have come to this, Fitzrod can't go back on his word and return the goods like those shameless civilians, as this will damage his image as a blood prince.
After all, he was the one who said that price was not a problem.
Then he looked at Yun Qimu with bloodshot eyes, and asked with a cold expression on his elegant face, "Then, Village Chief Yun, I wonder what the restrictions are for joining the Global Village?"
Although Fitzrod was arrogant, he was very aware of his current situation. When he was on Planet N28, his supernatural powers and physical strength had not recovered, and he had no warship to help him. He had no choice but to come to this global village.
Now he also has no choice. Joining the Global Village is his best option. After all, outside the Global Village is the infamous Exile Star, and if he wants to leave the Exile Star, he must use the Global Village's teleportation array.
This way, things are back to square one.
He has to stay in the global village.
In addition, he now owes a "huge sum of money". One piece of clothing is three thousand spirit coins, and five pieces are fifteen thousand spirit coins. Does he have to rely on picking up garbage to pay off his debts in the Exile Star?
well!
How on earth did he, a noble and honorable prince of the blood clan, fall into such a state of debt and be forced to join a poor village?
Yun Qimu looked at his melancholy eyes and chuckled, "Your Excellency, there's no need to worry so much. After joining our Global Village, you only need to abide by one rule: never invade the Global Village's territory or do anything detrimental to the Global Village. For the rest, Your Excellency is free. We won't do anything to restrict the villagers. Even if Your Excellency wants to leave the Global Village after regaining his strength, we won't stop him."
"Well, perhaps if you haven't repaid the debt you borrowed from Global Village on time, we will urge you to pay it back. As for the rest, Your Excellency is free to do as you please."
Fitzrud was a little surprised after hearing this. "Really, there are no other restrictions?"
Yun Qimu smiled and shook his head, "No."
Fitzrud breathed a sigh of relief, a smile tinging his blood-red eyes. He then nodded reservedly to Yun Qimu, "That's great. I agree to join the Global Village. I wonder how I can join it?"
"I mean, there are some formalities that need to be done, or maybe a sworn agreement needs to be signed."
