CHAPTER XXVII
Poof!
The muffled noise outside the house caught the attention of Maier and Xiaoye, and the two stopped practicing, opened the door, and poked their heads out to check the situation. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw the bird lying on the ground with a shocked face, his face facing the front, Kiki grabbed the bird's skirt with a shocked face, and neither of them seemed to know what had just happened.
"What's wrong?" Mel asked.
Kiki and Bird looked at Maier in unison, then shook their heads blankly as if they had made an appointment.
At this moment, Maier noticed the money bag on the table and asked again.
"What's that?"
"It's a reward from the Heyan family."
The two replied in unison.
"Oh, that's right."
Maier walked out of the room and grabbed the money bag, he thought that the big money bag contained ordinary Tayyong money, at best a dollar or two, but the end of his fingers came with the unique touch of Tayrong big money.
Well?! It's actually a lot of money?!
He hurriedly opened the money bag and saw that it was indeed full of money.
Uh, so much money, to say the least, it would take a dozen, right?
"Who sent this money?"
"It's the young master of the Heyan family." This time it was the bird who sat up, "He came with a guard, and I drove him away." ”
"Uh, what are you doing with him?"
"Because the master and Xiao Ye are practicing, let him in for fear of disturbing you."
Kiki heard this, and looked at the bird who had just wanted to enter the bedroom with disdain. The bird blushed and turned away, not daring to look at Kiki and Maier.
"You, you." Mel shook his head helplessly, "Didn't I say that?" You can do whatever you have to do, and it won't affect us. ”
"Master, I know I'm wrong."
"Hmm...... Really know wrong? ”
Mel's eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The little bird recalls the experience of being hung up by Mel and scratching her feet with feathers, and not allowing her to laugh, and she shuddered.
"Really...... Wrong. ”
"Then I'll spare you this time."
Maier looked back at Xiao Ye, who was hiding in the doorway, poking his head out and beckoning to her.
"Let's get here today."
"Huh? But...... It's not noon yet, is it? ”
"I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion in the afternoon, Yishan has something to look for me."
"Hmm...... Yes, master. ”
Xiao Ye pouted, rubbed small steps, reluctantly walked out of Meier's room, and sat next to the bird. The three maids sat together, looking up at Myer.
"Uh...... What are you watching me do? ”
The three maids exchanged glances, shook their heads together, and continued to stare at Myer.
The room was cleaned, the yard was cleaned, and the Maier family had two meals a day, and they didn't eat at noon. The three maids have done all the work. On a normal basis, the three maids all had their own favorite things to do, and Mel rarely saw the three of them together.
Lately, however, Maier has noticed that the three maids have become a little strange.
Ever since they came back from the shrine, they've been nervous. Bird has set up various alarm mechanisms in the yard, Kiki always keeps the loaded light crossbow within easy reach, Xiaoye has become very active in learning magic, and always begs Mai to teach her how to use magic arrows.
When he was alone in the bedroom, the three maids would sit in the living room in a daze as they were now. If they were in the living room, they would stare at them as they do now.
Mel knew it was the bag of money in his bedroom that was to blame. Of the three maids, Kiki is a Taeyong fairy and has no economic concept, but she thinks about Maier and values Maier's things very much. Xiaoye and Xiaobird were from poor backgrounds, and they had never seen so much money since they were so old - of course, in fact, it was the first time that Maier had seen them, but he was much calmer in comparison.
Therefore, the three maids attached great importance to the safety of the money, for fear of being robbed.
When Mel wasn't at home, the three maids would definitely run to his bedroom, because the money was under Mel's bed. As soon as something happens, the three maids will take up their weapons murderously and put on a desperate posture. If this scene is seen by a cowardly thief, eighty percent will be scared to death alive.
Maier knew that this was not a solution, so he could only go out of the bedroom, order three maids, and ask them to bring the money bags brought back from the Riya Shrine, as well as the money bags sent by Yan Zhiheng and go out with him. The task of taking the money bag was given to Xiaoye, who had the most strength, but Kiki and Bird were not empty-handed. Kiki brought her light crossbow, and Bird brought a knife, as if she were facing a great enemy.
If the three maids were allowed to go out in this manner, it would not be long before outlaws who regarded money as their fate would come to the door. In desperation, Maier could only ask Xiao Ye to return the money bags to himself, let the three maids stay to take care of the house, and went out alone with the two money bags.
About an hour later, Mel returned, but the two purses were gone. The maids were stunned by the trick, and their mouths were wide open enough to fit a goose egg.
"Don't worry, I didn't throw the money away."
Mel took a small money bag from his bosom and threw it on the table.
"See for yourself, our money is here."
The three maids hurriedly pounced on the purse and opened it, only to find it filled with golden leaf-shaped pieces of metal.
This currency is called "ginseng", which is made from a certain proportion of gold and silver, and belongs to the mid-range currency. One piece of ginseng is worth two pieces of tairong money, and the money that Mel brought out is worth 60 tairong coins, which can be exchanged for 30 pieces of ginseng.
In fact, Maier already knew this method, but he was too lazy to exchange it. In the past, when he was the richest, his family property was only about 20 Tairong coins, and it was only more than 1,000 Tairong coins when he was converted. It is normal for a slightly wealthier family to have one or two thousand coins at home, so he didn't exchange them.
If it weren't for the thousands of coins in the house that had enchanted the three maids, Mel wouldn't have made this trip. Because he is just a businessman now, doing small business, the amount of transactions is not large, and every time he pays the bill, it is dozens or hundreds of yuan, and he doesn't need to participate in the gold at all.
When he bought dyed pottery from the Lu family, he spent a total of 8 guan and 750 Wen Tairong money, and at this level, the transaction could be paid with ginseng gold, but at that time Maier did not have ginseng.
As soon as he thought about the purchase, Maier was terrified. At that time, he listened to Heyan Ruizhi's words, and his brain went to buy the goods as soon as his brain was hot, and he didn't think about what he would do if Heyan Ruizhi's information was wrong. You must know that Mayer's entire net worth at that time was so much money, and if he lost this gamble, it was almost equivalent to losing all his net worth.
Although it was a bit inexplicable to win, the good thing was that the bet was won, and a win was a multiplier of net worth.
As Mel recalls what happened at Rimi Shrine, the unpleasantness of being trapped in a puzzle comes to mind. At this moment, the little bird asked curiously.
"Master, what is this?"
Mel put away his thoughts, knowing that the three maids had never seen anything like this, so he told them the value of the single gold coin. After this, Maier put away the little money bag and put it in his arms.
"Now you are relieved, right?"
The three maids were poked in their hearts, and they lowered their heads with red faces. Seeing that the time was not early, Maier let the three maids move freely, and went to the city lord's mansion alone.
Yishan didn't have any urgency to find Mai, she just wanted to tell him the news of the war between Yongshan and Zareth. In fact, Yishan already knew about this, but at that time, Maier was still on his way to the Rimi Shrine, so Yishan couldn't send someone to spread the word in order to inform him of this, right?
Besides, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink. Maier is just a businessman now, and the news is of little value to him, Yishan just uses the news as an excuse to find Maier to talk to her.
"So it's really going to war."
"Huh? Has anyone told you about it? ”
"Nope."
Maier shook his head and told Yishan what he had seen at the Three Forks Fortress.
"At the time, I was just speculating that there might have been a war, but I wasn't sure."
"Why aren't you sure?"
"Of course, it's because of the lack of intelligence." Mel spread his hands, "Daddy has taught me more than once, don't jump to conclusions when you don't have enough information, I suffered a lot because of this kind of thing when I was a child." ”
"Hehe, is there such a thing?"
Yishan rested her chin on her arm and looked at Maier with a soft gaze.
"Of course! Daddy is -- uh...... Do I have something on my face? ”
Maier noticed Yishan's gaze and touched her cheek. Yishan's little face was "brushed" red, and her head immediately shook into a rattle.
"No, no, no, no!"
"Really?"
"Not really!"
Maier touched his cheek again in disbelief, and wanted to continue talking about his childhood, but he forgot what he had just said, and could only start a new topic.
"By the way, when did the war between the country of Yongshan and Zareth begin?"
"Hmm...... If war was officially declared, it would have been about 20 days ago. Yishan replied, "The war was declared on the grounds of retaking the Mogar region from the Yongshan Kingdom. ”
"Mogar?" Maier frowned slightly, "Judging from the name of the place, this area shouldn't belong to the Ira World, right?" ”
"yes." Yishan nodded, "The Mogar region seems to be from the ancient world, and I don't know why it was annexed by Zarus after the cataclysm. Later, a full-scale war broke out between the Ilibi and the Ira, and the Nagayama Province took advantage of the unpreparedness of Zareth and captured Mogar by force. After that, the Ilibi and Ira people ceased fighting, and Mogar became the territory of the Nagayama Kingdom. ”
"Don't the Dugu people have any problem with this?"
"I don't know." Yishan shook her head, "Judging from the information we have so far, it seems that Mogar would prefer to be a part of Zarles, perhaps because they all have beast ears. ”
The Homochus and Ilibi were similar in appearance to humans, except that both were small in stature and had animal ears. The ears of the Tugu people were relatively long, and their stature was slightly taller than that of the Eribians; The height of the Ilibi people is about the same as that of the Taeyong elf, and they are both short beast ears, but there are many races within the Ilibi people, and different races have different shapes, styles, and colors of animal ears, and the color of their hair will also be different.
