Chapter Ninety-Four: Raising Money
Rick bowed his head and meditated all the way back to the Old Woman and Sea Fish Inn in the old town of Port Tanos. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 When the Fox deacon priest of the Temple of War said those two choices, he intuitively chose not to wait, and paid five hundred gold coins to directly carry out the advanced ritual of condensing the heart of faith. Because Rick knew that if he chose to wait for more than half a year in order to be reluctant to give up the five hundred gold coins, his mind was likely to have unknown changes and loopholes. In that case, your grasp of your own progress will be greatly reduced.
However, after Rick chose to pay 500 gold coins, after asking Wuer, who was in charge of his three's money bags, he learned that he only had less than 300 gold coins left on hand, which was not enough to pay for the cost of this advanced ceremony. This situation made Rick very entangled, so he had to agree with the deacon priest for five days, and Rick went to find a way to raise money. Five days later, if Rick raises five hundred gold coins, an advancement ceremony will be held for him alone. If you can't raise money, then don't say anything. That's why Rick meditated all the way back to the inn. He was trying to figure out how he could get more than 300 gold coins in five days with all his knowledge.
Although Rick is a soul traveler, he can't find a way to raise three hundred gold coins in just five days after thinking about his memories. After all, he was just an ordinary factory worker in his previous life. And this life is not to mention, counting the time of the shell, it is less than four years, even if the model family is very special, once out of the shell, even if it is independent, but in any way, Rick is only a cub of the model family. In the end, Rick had no choice but to be ruthless and decided that if he couldn't raise money within five days, he would sell his most valuable equipment ------ the power ring. Come to think of it, no matter how the merchants in the port of Tanos do to lower the price, this power ring can also be sold for seven or eight hundred gold coins. Thinking of this, Rick was puzzled, the attributes of this power ring are not good, after being equipped, only a little bit of power is added, and in the shops in this city, the ring with such attributes and strength does not exceed a thousand gold coins. Why did the guy who ate and slept all day, slept and eat, or would have secretly gone out and run around like crazy, had to take this ring himself? Is there some hidden attribute in this ring? No matter, let's talk about it later.
Rick bowed his head and walked into the hotel. He was followed by Steelhorn and Earless. In front of Rick was the dwarf beast tamer Kosh. Serve in front to lead the way. Ke Shan. Fu didn't come back first, but waited at the gate of the temple until the three of Rick came out, and he went back to the hotel as the guide.
When Rick and the others returned to the hotel, it was almost noon, and the lobby of the hotel was full, some of the passengers were waiting for the meal, and some of the guests had already drunk. Ke Shan. When he entered the hotel lobby, he whispered to Rick, "Priest Rick, it's time for dinner, I see a table in the corner over there, I'll take it over, let's have a meal." ”
"Well, you can go over." Rick waved his hand, absentmindedly letting Ke Shan. The costume went to occupy the table first, and walked slowly over with the earless steel horn.
Unbeknownst to Rick, in the lobby of the hotel, a table of guests drinking had noticed him, whispering about him.
"This model guy is the guy mentioned by the bragging dwarf yesterday."
"It should be him, he's the only model in this hotel."
"Is he so strong that he can knock that dwarf down?"
"I don't know, the dwarf brags, aren't you there?"
"I think the dwarf is bragging again."
"Well, I think so too. Why don't you try him, don't you always say that you have a lot of strength? ”
"I have a lot of strength, and I even fell down a cow when I was in my hometown. But I can't try him in vain. ”
"What does that mean?"
"I'll try him, and if I'm stronger than him, then each of you will lose me ten silver coins, okay?"
"What if you don't have as much strength as he has?"
"Then I'll pay for this meal for a few of you."
"Alright, you can go over."
Rick kept thinking about it, and walked down to the corner of the inn lobby. Suddenly, I felt a dark shadow blocking the light in front of me. Immediately after, a rough voice sounded in his ears: "Boy, don't get in the way. Then he felt another large hand grasp the collar of his priestly robes.
Rick subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of the big hand with his backhand, and with a slight effort on his hand, the big hand let go of his collar. At the same time, Rick's ears rang out "Oops, oops." The sound of pain.
Rick didn't care, just pushed it casually, and pushed the owner of the big hand "Teng, Teng, Teng" five or six steps, until he touched a table and stopped retreating.
In the lobby of the hotel, many people were chatting and eating, and it was very lively. The scene of Rick casually pushing away the owner of the big hand was noticed by many people in the hotel lobby, and the whole lively lobby suddenly fell silent, and then exploded into a louder noise.
Rick noticed the behavior of the people in the lobby of the inn, and a hint of boredom flashed in his eyes. Kerek didn't show it, just beckoned to Earless, told him that he didn't want to eat in the lobby anymore, asked him to bring the food to his room, and then walked to the room on his own.
After dinner that day, Earless enters Rick's room and reports to Rick what he heard. Especially the rumors about Rick himself.
Some say that Rick was born a strong man, some say that Rick got a treasure that increases his strength, and some say that Rick is actually a rare model clan power warrior, wearing a trainee priest's robe completely disguised. In short, there is everything to say. Some of the rumors made Rick laugh and cry.
After hearing Wu'er finish saying these news, Rick didn't say anything, just let Wu'er go back to rest, and he also entered the state of prayer and cultivation early.
The next morning, Rick woke up early. It's called Earless and Steel Horn, and it's called Ke Shan. and went straight to the commercial district of Port Thanos. Rick was ready to take a look around and see what opportunities there were to make money. Also look at the price of the equipment. I really couldn't do it, so I sold the ring.
The commercial district of Port Tanos is very bustling. The streets are crowded with people. On both sides of the street, the doors of various shops are open, and customers of all races come in and out, making the shops look lively. With the various signboards on the doors of the shops, Rick has a feeling of shopping in the commercial street in his previous life.
Rick and his entourage wandered around this bustling shopping street. Ke Shan. Dutifully doing his own work as a tour guide. The steel horns and the earless are hard to hide the curiosity in their eyes, looking around. Rick looked at the shops on both sides of the road with a flat face, and from time to time he would walk in and ask about the price of goods.
Several people were walking. Rick inadvertently looked up and saw a shop sign, and his heart moved, and he called out to Ke Shan. clothing and earless steel horns. Then he walked into the shop.
Ke Shan. Before entering the shop, Fu glanced up at the name of the shop, and found that the sign of the shop read------ "The largest equipment store under the Rhys Chamber of Commerce, we have all kinds of sophisticated weapons and equipment from the orc empire made by the dwarven masters. ”
As soon as Rick and the others walked into the shop, they were greeted by a Terran man who looked to be in his twenties and dressed as a clerk. The man said with a smile on his face, "Welcome to our store, I don't know what you need, let me introduce you." ”
With a wave of his hand, Rick stopped the clerk from talking. Twisting his face and saying to the three of them, "You guys go around here, I have something to do, you wait for me for a while." Then he turned to the clerk and said, "Your shop belongs to the Rhys Chamber of Commerce, right?" I'd like to meet Fury's steward from your Chamber of Commerce, but I wonder if he's not there? ”
"Even, guest, our shop belongs to the Rhys Chamber of Commerce. Do you want to see Steward Fury, who just returned from shipping goods two days ago and is on vacation at home? Don't know who you are? Is there anything to see Fury's stewardship? ”
"I'm a friend of Fury's housekeeper, and I want to see him for something, so I don't know if you can help me get in touch."
"Yes, yes, Fury's housekeeper lives not far from this shop, and he can be found in a short time. Guests, please come to the reception room for a while. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for him for a while."
Rick didn't wait too long. Steward Fury soon arrives in front of Rick. As soon as they met, Steward Fury smiled and said, "Oh, Priest Rick, as soon as the people below say that there are friends from the model family who want to see me, I know it's you." How many days have you been in Port Thanos? How are you doing? ”
"Hehe, Fury steward, I've been in Port Tanos for two days. I'll come to see you as soon as I settle down. This port of Tanos is really prosperous. I had a good time for the past two days, staying at the Old Lady and Sea Fish Hotel. ”
"Well, I've heard of that hotel, it has a good reputation, it's a good hotel."
"Steward Fury, how many days have you been back? What happens to the goods? ”
"I've been back for three days. The boss of our Chamber of Commerce is very satisfied with this goods, and I would like to thank Priest Rick for your help. ”
"You're welcome, since I've signed up for the mercenary business, that's what I'm supposed to do."
"Thank you too. By the way, I heard from the people below that you have something to do with me, I don't know what it is? ”
"Well, I'm having some trouble, I'm here to ask Fury to help you."
"What's the matter? Say, as long as I can help you, I will do my best. ”
"It's not a big deal, I need a sum of money lately, but I don't have much money, and I want to borrow some money from you."
When Steward Fury heard that Rick wanted to borrow money, his face changed. But then I remembered something, and my face changed again. Then, Steward Fury asked with a serious face, "Priest Rick, I don't know how much money you want to borrow, I don't think you can only borrow a few dozen gold coins, right?" ”
"Steward Fury, the amount I'm going to borrow isn't too much, but it's not a lot. I don't know if you can lend me 500 gold coins? ”
"Five hundred gold coins! That's a lot! It's almost enough for a year's worth of my income. I don't know what you're doing with so much gold? When you were on the ship, I remember that the income from the rat-eating fish and the island of gulls and birds gave you more than 3,000 gold coins, and they were all used up? ”
"Yes, I bought some equipment to arm my followers, and I only had a few hundred gold left. But I encountered something again, and I urgently needed five hundred gold coins, which was also helpless, so I thought of asking you for help. I know that borrowing money requires collateral. I can pledge this power ring to you, and when I have enough money, I'll redeem it. What do you think? ”
Steward Fury reached out and took the ring that Rick handed him over, and took a closer look at it. Nodding his head, he said, "Well, yes, it's a good piece of equipment, enough to mortgage and borrow five hundred gold coins." Then, he handed the ring to Rick. Then he said, "Priest Rick, actually, I happen to have something to ask you for help with. If I can't find you, I'll have to go to the Mercenary Guild to hang out the mission. If you can help me, the five hundred gold coins are considered a deposit. ”
"What's the matter? How long will it take? How dangerous is it? ”
"I can't say what it is now, it will take half a month to set off, and it will be about one to two months on the road. There will definitely be a little danger, but we at the Rhys Chamber of Commerce will send a master to accompany us when the time comes. There is still a great deal of certainty that the whole body will retreat. ”
"Is it going to be half a month? Since your chamber of commerce also has a master accompanying you, then I'll go and help a little. Hope it can really help you. ”
"Priest Rick, it's refreshing. Please take the down payment of 500 gold coins. We'll see you in half a month. ”
