Chapter 343: Ross Child
Early in the morning, two men and a donkey returned to the vicinity of the lumberyard.
Before approaching the lumberyard, Peake was stunned for a moment. Holding the big black foot stopped.
Haysjia asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
was only stunned for a moment, and soon, Peake looked at her and smiled: "It's okay, let's go in." ”
In the seven or eight dim and damp alleys near the lumberyard, a few servants and attendants were lying there, and a nobleman's cane quietly slashed through the wall and flew in the direction of the lumberyard.
After the souls of Pique and Zhu Tian fused, their understanding of spiritual power completely rose to a higher level.
There were more than twenty ill-intentioned surveillances around, and it only took two breaths to knock them out.
"I am your faithful devotee, please give me the key to your house. ”
Under Hasja's astonished gaze, the key that fell from the sky in Pico opened the wooden door.
Ryder stood guard in the doorway, tiptoeing Pickla in, and tried to close the wooden door. "Wait, there's another guy out there. Peake said.
Then, Ryder's eyes widened as he watched as Peake took Hayska's hand with his left hand and pulled her in through the door.
"It's true, this noble lady really let you run away! Zhu Tian! Oh no, Pique......"
Too late to speak to Ryder, Peake pulled Hayser directly into the main building.
This is the house of the mandalas. "I'm going to get rid of you and help me protect her. Peake said to the five girls in the room, "It will only take one day, and after today, I will meet your request." ”
The five girls looked at each other, and Mandala knew that the blue hat he was facing was "kind." "You can represent ......," she didn't know how to say for a moment.
"I can represent Zhu Tian. Peake continued, knowing what was on his mind.
"I'm going back to the castle too. Although she didn't want to, Hayser already knew that she was not a little girl running on the flower grassland, and she needed to face everything by herself.
However, Pique did not agree. "I said I would help you, as long as you stay here in peace. Believe me. The light in his gaze was full of life, and he couldn't help himself, and Haysjia stared at him for a moment, then bowed his head silently. He turned his head and whispered to the mandala: "Frank, you should know, he is a powerful mercenary, I will send him to protect you, well, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, everything will be closed today." ”
When Peake left the lumber yard, he told Ryder, "Don't open anyone who knocks on the door except those mercenaries." ”
The next moment, he came to the auction house. The boss in the blue casual suit had been waiting for him for a long time, and Peake could see from his brow that it was deeply worried.
At this time, he naturally handed over the control of his body to Zhu Tian. "You seem to be anxious. He said to his boss, "I still smell fear." ”
Suddenly, the boss, who was sitting in the center of the reception room, stood up from his chair. "You're forcing me to bet on the fate of the Childs. He said, "I've made a decision, and if you don't settle this matter before dark, I'm going to go to church and report you!"
Zhu Tian shook his head with a smile and slowly sat down opposite the boss. "I'll give you an answer today," he said to his boss, "a reply that satisfies you." So now, give me the cardinal. ”
The boss's face was gloomy, his hands were on the table, and he slowly approached Zhu Tian with his hands covered in haze. "You know," he said, "this man must die!"
"For some reason, I wouldn't kill him. ”
"Are you counting on me to kill him? I've already risked a hundred thousand to help you imprison a great cardinal of the Cult of Light, and you're counting on me to kill him!?" the boss almost yelled.
"It's just a magic stick. Dodging some of the other party's spits, Zhu Tian said in a deep voice: "You have seen his fate, I promise you, if the Sect of Light dares to treat me like this cardinal, then ...... I will overthrow the entire Cult of the Illuminati!!"
There was a sudden burst of electricity in his neck, and the boss's body slowly collapsed back into his chair. "Crazy! Crazy! He shook his head and muttered. "I shouldn't have chosen to work with a madman. ”
"No!" Zhu Tian raised his eyebrows, and the light smile on the corner of his mouth was always there, "One day in many years, you will be grateful for your cooperation with me today! You have to trust your instincts, believe me! My name is Zhu Tian, I hope you can always remember my name." And now, you can say your name. I would like to express my gratitude for the name. ”
The owner of the "Ross Child" auction house gave a name.
Zhu Tian narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly. "What is the market price of a bucket of poppy milk right now?" he suddenly brought up an unrelated topic.
The breadth of the topic clearly bothered Mr. Rothschild. He pondered for a while before he said, "Poppy milk is not calculated by bucket, it costs about a thousand gold coins per ounce, what are you asking for?"
Zhu Tian silently estimated in his heart: The weight of an ounce in this world is about 30 grams, and a bucket of poppy milk is about 30 kilograms, which is 30,000 grams - 1,000 ounces! What is the concept of a thousand ounces?
So a bucket of poppy milk is worth a million gold coins?
Well, Mayor Grace is richer than she thinks, and he has three full barrels of poppy milk in his ice cellar!
"A bucket of poppy milk was placed outside the door by me, which is considered compensation for you and my gratitude. Zhu Tian said generously, in fact, his heart was dripping blood.
The tub of Poppy Milk had been brought out by him and Peake in the Tower of the Dead, and now he just wanted to squeak them and not find the other two tubs of Poppy Milk left on the first floor of the Tower of the Dead. Giving poppy milk to Ross Child was also something he weighed for a long time.
After Zhu Tian saw the reaction of squeaking and drinking poppy milk, he already realized that this poppy milk was a drug in this world, and he had no interest in making a big deal of dark forces in this world, and he was a little uneasy about putting such drugs in the hunter's courtyard or in the lumber yard, so he simply moved it directly to the owner of the auction house.
Drugs are naturally very valuable, but what he didn't expect was that they were so valuable! "I'm sure that's worth about a million gold coins, which is enough to compensate you for your mental loss. Looking at the auction house owner who was still hesitant, Zhu Tian didn't talk nonsense, "Tell me now, where is the cardinal?"
"Orator!" he shouted to the door.
Immediately, the orator, dressed in a blue gown, came to Ross Child. "Boss," he said, stroking his chest.
"Take this Mr. Zhu Tian with you. He said it so vaguely that those who didn't know might think they were going to have an afternoon tea next. Then I gave the gentleman a note for 500,000 gold coins, and we completed another cooperation. ”
Zhu Tian narrowed his eyes, and said in his heart, this guy is really comfortable doing things! When he bought the nobleman's cane, he directly took the initiative to raise the price nearly twice the price to himself! And at this time, he still had to pay himself? Although 500,000 gold coins could only be regarded as half of the value of the bucket of poppy milk outside the door, it was 500,000 gold coins after all! What kind of courage did it take to write a check for 500,000 gold coins casually? What kind of mind did it take?
Not only that, but this Rosschild did this thing also told Zhu Tian on the side - we can maintain a high-value friendship!
Yes, that's how friendship comes about. Zhu Tian deeply knows that if a businessman is willing to give up huge benefits, it is not for the next harvest, then he really wants to gain friendship!
Rosschild knew that Zhu Tian was a smart person, so he didn't even explain a word. This is the communication between smart people, just a side tap, or just a meaningful look, and the other person can know what they want to say.
I have to say that Zhu Tian doesn't want to deal with smart people, but if this smart person is sincerely willing to be friends with him, then it's a different matter.
After Zhu Tian left with the orator. Rosschild came to the door, and a psychedelic scent hit him. He took a deep breath, then looked at the bucket of poppy milk that was sitting alone in the doorway. His face gradually returned to calm, and he fell into deep thought.
It's like a miniature church on the western edge of the town of Peace. But in fact, this is not the case, after Zhu Tian walked in, he felt that this place was more like a huge warehouse, with tables and chairs everywhere. He also saw a lot of quilts on the ground, and it seemed that someone was making a bunk here.
At this time, there were people sitting on tables and chairs eating, and several children squatting in the corner, writing and drawing on the ground with stones. As far as the eye can see, there are only about a dozen people. What they all had in common was that they were all dressed in earthy grey, as if they hadn't washed them in weeks.
Before Zhu Tiangang walked in, the reason why he thought this was a church at first glance was because he saw a one-man tall angel sculpture placed at the door. When he saw the chaotic environment inside, he had already guessed what this place was.
"A month ago, there was a disaster in the city of Joson, and a large number of victims poured into the town of Peace. The orator said to Zhu Tian: "So this is the Charity Rescue Society of the Child Family." All the victims can get a bed quilt here and three bowls of hot rice porridge every day. Of course, we will not take in these homeless people all the time, we will screen out those who really need help, and give sincere help selflessly. ”
What are you kidding, there are also people in such a primitive society who do charity?"This is your Childe family's inheritance?" Zhu Tian asked with a sneer. "Isn't there any special purpose?"
The orator was visibly stunned for a moment, and generously admitted: "Well, there are special purposes, such as we can use this to help you imprison a certain big person." Of course, the main purpose is to do charity and rescue. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Tian pursed his lips.
Seeing the orator and Zhu Tian, an extraordinarily dressed person, walked in, and a little man in blue clothes stood in front of the orator.
The orator didn't speak, but pointed to the end, and the little man in blue immediately understood what was going on, and began to lead the way in front.
Passing by groups of poor people in rags, Zhu Tian suddenly had a bad premonition!
Affected by the induction in the Mingming, finally, Zhu Tian turned his head suddenly!
In an instant, his cold sweat flowed down!
He was dressed in tatters, and he looked no different from a normal bum, but ...... He had a long, thin-bladed sword hanging from his waist!!
