Volume 1: Experiences Chapter 0021: Exploring Fiction and Reality
As far as he knew, the annual tax of Fort Saint-Brieux was about two hundred gold coins, and after the daily expenses, there were less than a hundred gold coins left.
That is to say, Baron Hammidon has only bought an epic insight scroll after two or three years of hard work, and this scroll is actually a one-time one, and its purpose is only to probe the strength of the opponent.
Renard slumped on the couch, knowing full well that he had no choice but to succumb to the system's obscenity.
Just as he was about to redeem the Beginner Insight Scroll, the system suddenly prompted, "If you don't want to spend Dinars, you can redeem this item by random draw." ”
"Get out!" Renard refused without hesitation, he sneered: "You want to trick me, is there anything cheaper in the mall than the primary insight scroll?"
System: "......"
After purchasing the Primary Insight Scroll, Renard was still thinking about how the system would deliver it, and then he felt that there was an extra thing in his hand, and when he looked down, it was the Primary Insight Scroll that had just been redeemed from the system mall: "Empty...... Spatial passing?"
The Insight scroll is similar to an ordinary sheepskin scroll, not to be exact, this is simply a sheepskin scroll, the scroll is only the size of a palm, and it is not eye-catching.
No one around noticed the sudden appearance, Serena was still making vanilla milk tea, the two doglegs were exchanging experiences over the past two days, and Tracy followed the maid to clean up his room.
Reynard looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he immediately took a deep breath and took the opportunity to quietly stuff the scroll into his pocket, but he thought in his heart that he would have to find a hidden place to exchange things in the future, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if he was discovered.
After doing this, his tense nerves finally relaxed, his eyes looked at the two doglegs, and asked, "Has Gilbert made any special moves lately?"
Ben was the first to react, and replied, "It's normal, it's just that he's becoming more proud and complacent than before, and there are two captains of the guard who are very close to him, and even Mr. Wilson is faintly close to him. ”
Tommy was not to be outdone: "Then there is the Baron Lord seems to be deliberately alienating Young Master Gilbert, although I don't know what the reason is, but it is good news for us." ”
The two doglegs recounted in detail what they had seen and heard, without the slightest reservation.
Renard pondered with his chin under his wing, and sighed after a long time, it seemed that he was really not good at intrigue and calculation, and he didn't know what to do in the face of the current situation.
Fortunately, he has made up his mind that the primary goal is to increase his strength, and he must not take it lightly before defeating Gilbert.
He walked to the window and looked at the school training ground hundreds of meters away, his eyes flashing.
Others thought he was contemplating, but in fact he was communicating with the system: "System, what is the farthest release distance of the Primary Insight Scroll?"
System: "Get out!"
Renard: "......"
In order to ensure that the scrolls he had purchased at great expense would not be wasted, Renard decided to risk his life and personally go to Gilbert's side to release him.
Gilbert was in a particularly good mood today, as he had finally overcome his waste brother in some aspects, such as his appearance and strength.
Even when Renard came to his side, he was no longer as guarded as before.
After the last encounter, he was completely sure that his waste brother was just wasting his time at the Academy of Constantinople, and not only did he not make any progress in his strength, but he was still much more rusty than before.
As a martial artist, he clearly felt that this was not pretending, and his confidence returned to his body again, the only flaw was that his father had been a little alienated from him for some reason in recent days, but fortunately, it was not a big problem, and his mother was very good at blowing the wind on the pillow.
"One day I'll get what I deserve. He thought viciously, still full of jealousy: "If I can go to the Academy of Constantinople, maybe ......"
Gilbert was in the midst of his own fantasies, and when he came to his senses, he found Renard standing not far from him, holding a worn-out parchment scroll in his hand.
He immediately became vigilant and asked sharply: "What are you doing here, haven't you been beaten enough, what are you holding in your hand?"
He had a vicious expression, obviously trying to scare the other party.
However, Renard ignored it, just put away the sheepskin scroll and turned away.
Gilbert showed a face full of confusion, his brother is not a master who is willing to suffer, why did he retreat as soon as he was frightened today?
How could he have known that Renard was only here to probe his strength, not to find trouble.
"Target: Gilbert, Class: Beginner Swordsman, Attributes: Strength Twenty-Eight, Agility Twenty-Nine, Intelligence Twelve, Charisma Eighteen. ”
Although the data that can be detected by the Elementary Insight Scroll is very simple, it is quite clear and straightforward, and it can be seen that the difference in strength between the two is very large, and it is not something that can be narrowed in a short period of time.
"There's a long way to go!" Renard sighed and walked in the direction of the castle.
As soon as he reached the gate of the castle, he saw Serena and the two doglegs standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and watching him, and he knew that the three of them were afraid that they would suffer at the hands of Gilbert, so they watched the movement from a distance.
He was faintly moved, no matter what the other party's purpose is, for money, power, or other things, as long as he hopes that he is good, then he doesn't have to think too much, he just appreciates it.
However, as a superior, the emotional aspect cannot be too obvious, and of course it cannot be mean and unkind.
He walked into the hall and asked with a sneer, "What, afraid that I will be beaten?"
"How can it be, young master is wise and martial, Gilbert's miscellaneous is your opponent. Tommy, the dog-legged man, immediately slapped his ass, his expression was very sincere, if he didn't know what kind of person he was, he would have to be deceived by this superb acting skills.
"Your shamelessness is the charm of my youth. Renard patted the dogleg on the shoulder.
Then he added: "The old man gave me half a tea brick, saying that it came from the Eastern Earth Continent, and half of it is worth dozens of silver coins, I am not used to drinking it, you can divide it." ”
Tommy and Ben looked at each other, their expressions were very happy, and they hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, young master." ”
The high price of tea bricks from the eastern soil is a well-known thing in the northern continent.
Fortunately, Arthur's kingdom was close to the coast and was the first stop for merchants from the eastern continent to trade on the northern continent, so the price of tea was not yet outrageously high.
In the Empire of Constantinople, located in the middle of the northern continent, a single tea brick could be exchanged for almost the same weight of gold.
That's a tea brick, it's a gold brick!
