Chapter 44: The Unexpected
The butler of the Deputy City Lord's Mansion came, and Arden and Aaron did not dare to slack off. The two of www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion hurriedly came to You Li's side, bowed down and said, "I've seen my lord." β
Although they also have the name of a second-class family, they know the level of their family, compared to the other nine families, their background is really shallow, and they don't have much say in Bluestone City. Blair Allen can be on a par with Yuli, but they can't.
It is precisely because of this that these two people dare to wantonly squeeze themselves and their family in words.
"Strength, strength, this is the capital that can really settle down!" Feeling the gap in status, he sighed in his heart.
"Excuse me!" Yu Li waved his hand, then looked at him and said, "Arden, even if your family is in this situation now, you can't coerce others, right?" As you know, Bluestone City is an extremely important military defense line of the kingdom in the north, and the king also attaches great importance to it, and those of us who are people should abide by the rules and regulations. β
"Hmph, rules and regulations, rules and regulations! How many of you, those in power, have kept the rules of the kingdom yelves? Aren't the so-called rules and regulations that you make and use to restrict us ordinary people? Arden said with hatred in his heart.
It's just that his face is very calm, and his words are neither humble nor arrogant: "Please also be enlightened, don't listen to other people's slander." The two of us did not coerce anyone, and if you don't believe me, you will know as soon as you ask. β
"It would have been better than that, but I still trust my eyes and don't have to ask anyone." You Li replied, not giving him face at all.
He didn't want to talk to Arden too much, so he turned around and smiled, and said to Ling Feng and the others: "A few little friends, I won't cause you any trouble if I come here suddenly, right?" β
"Hmm... A little bit! Ling Feng held his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded in affirmation.
"The kid is bold, it's really not big or small, you also heard it just now, this is the Lord of the Deputy City Lord's Mansion!" Beside You Li, an entourage stared and shouted.
This is a young man, and he has just been selected into the escort team of the Deputy City Lord's Mansion for a few days.
"Stunned young newcomer, this time I have to suffer..."Next to him, several other entourages shook their heads and said secretly in their hearts.
"I said, who is not big or small, did I let you speak? Moreover, I dared to collide with the little friend who was the deputy city lord and confessed to treat me politely, give me a slap! You Li turned his head and looked at the newcomer and said coldly.
"Huh? This... My lord, my lord's forgiveness, I really don't know..."The young man was immediately dumbfounded, with a look of horror on his face.
He didn't expect that he didn't make this sycophant, and he had to be beaten.
"Bring it down to me!" You Li frowned, and said to the other entourage with a calm face.
The attendants immediately stepped forward and dragged the young man away.
After a few people disappeared from front of him, You Li changed his smile to his face again, and said politely to the three of them: "Just now, my unsuccessful subordinate collided with Xiaoyou, and I hope Xiaoyou will bear with me." I'm also sincerely sorry for the trouble caused by our arrival..."
Spreading his hands, he took out a few things from his arms, and then continued: "My family specially asked me to come and brought a few small gifts that are not respectful to a few little friends, I hope you don't dislike it." β
After saying that, he pushed those few things in front of Ling Feng and Cayces.
It turned out to be just a few boxy cards.
Ling Feng didn't stretch out his hand, but looked at Kecis, wanting him to get an idea.
However, he was surprised to find that this kid was very happy this time, and he didn't look worried.
Cassis had already accepted his gift, and the smile on Yuli's face was even worse: "My family said, a small gift, since Xiaoyou accepted it, he recognized us as a friend, and he can take care of each other in the future." β
"Eh, it's just a few cards. What's this, it's boring..."Noah muttered with a little disappointment on his face, pouting.
Compared to these ordinary-looking cards, it was Arden's package of shiny gold coins that had a greater impact on him.
Although Ling Feng also wanted to die, he didn't say anything, and said in his heart that since this person was a deputy city lord and his attitude was quite good, he shouldn't take some ordinary things to send the three of them away.
"This is no ordinary card, Noah," Cassis said, handing the card in front of Noah, "these two green metal cards are made of chlorite. Don't look at it as small, the material is not very good, but it is an out-and-out alchemy product, which can be sold for dozens of silver coins. What, you want to sell it? Well, while it's worth a bit of money, it has other values and uses. β
"Well, Caseys is right, you still know the goods." Hearing Noah's words, the corners of Yuli's mouth trembled, and he replied a little helplessly.
Several other people also wiped their sweat with their hands, showing expressions of crying and laughing, after all, it was the first time they had heard that someone wanted to sell this card.
"This is a stored-value card issued by the Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce, in which no more than a thousand gold coins can be stored. As the largest guild in the mainland, almost all the cities with slightly larger kingdoms have branches of the Aquila Chamber of Commerce, as long as you hold this card, as long as there are gold coins in the card, you can take out the gold coins in any branch and use them, saving the trouble of carrying gold coins and the danger of being robbed halfway. Now, there are 1,000 gold coins in each of these two cards, and if you sell them, you will lose 2,000 gold coins. Yuri looked at Noah and teased.
"Ah, there's so much money in there?! How did you put it in, like Big Brother Cacy's..."Noah's mouth opened wide and he looked surprised.
It's just that before he finished speaking, Kathys hurriedly interrupted him: "Noah, I just said that this card is also an alchemy product." Actually, there are no gold coins in this card, but there is an alchemy formation that records and indicates the number of gold coins stored. As long as you go to any branch under the name of the Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce to store gold coins, there will be alchemy apprentices to help you modify the amount of gold coins in the card, so you understand? β
Noah didn't speak, but Ling Feng couldn't help but open his mouth: "! β
"Xiaoyou, what's wrong with you?" Yuli asked strangely.
"No, it's nothing..."Ling Feng waved his hand and shook his head at the same time.
It was only in his heart that he let out the same exclamation for the third time, just as he had done when he had discovered the steering wheel and timer earlier: "What the hell... Isn't it a bank card? β
"But what if the card is lost or snatched away?" Noah said with a frown.
"Hey, that's all you have to blame. If you lose it, the money goes to the Aquila Chamber of Commerce. If you are snatched away by others, then whoever robs you will not become who's own? Beside him, Blair laughed strangely and replied.
"I know these two cards, so I don't have these four identical ones leftβ" asked Kecis, playing with the remaining four cards in his hand.
The four cards glow with pale white metal, and the front side is engraved with three simple large characters "Zero Zero Zero Five", and the back is well-made and carved with pavilions.
"Why do I look so familiar with this color?" Noah muttered.
"This card is made of silver, yes, it's the material used to make silver coins." Ling Feng took one and touched it, weighed it again, and then replied.
"Oh, I said..."Noah nodded, eating a trench and growing wise, this time he would never say such a shameful thing about selling it again.
"This is the audience ticket for the final stage of the 'Bluestone Tournament' - the Ring Tournament, and the numbers on it are the seats, and the worse the number from small to large, the farther away from the ring. From the beginning of 0000 to 0050, it is a fixed room number, and it is a place for various families in Bluestone City to watch the ring match. And after 0050, it's all seat tickets. Yu Li patiently explained.
"Then what do you mean by giving this to meβ" Kathys looked at him, hesitating.
"Zero-zero-five, the room number of my mansion, is a symbol of honor. Our vice city lord sincerely invites, and I hope that when the time comes, Caisis and a few other friends can enjoy the most exciting game with us! Yuri replied with a smile.
"Uh..." Arden Blair Allen's expressions suddenly froze, and they were a little stunned.
Well, the Deputy City Lord's Mansion is not to come to this troubled water, and it is not competing for people like several of them, because the Deputy City Lord has a competitive son, and the existence of the 'Bluestone Silver List' Tanhua last year.
But the deputy city lord did this in essence, but it was more absolute, and he said it nicely, inviting them to be spectators together, in fact, he didn't want Kesis to participate in the "Bluestone Tournament".
"Brother Yuri, I'm afraidβ" Alan stepped forward, a look of embarrassment on his face.
Blair also stepped closer, on par with him, opening his mouth to speak.
Arden and Aaron, on the other hand, have been squeezed out.
"Brother Allen, Brother Blair, you also saw it, I really didn't stop you from anything, I just brought the words of the deputy city lord." You Li showed an innocent expression and said slowly.
It's just that he deliberately bit the three words "deputy city lord" very hard, as if he meant something else.
Cacys and Ling Feng's brows furrowed unconsciously.
Looking at Yu Li and the three of them and Ling Feng who were surrounded by them, Arden sighed and shook his head, silently put the package on the ground, and then said softly, "Let's go back!" β
Since it was said that this package of gold coins was a gift for Kecis's little friend, even if people didn't help him, he should keep it.
It's just that his tone is a little heavy, as if he has aged ten years all of a sudden.
The Ya family seems to be really not favored by God.
Aaron opened his mouth to say something more, but the words could only turn into a bitter smile.
The two turned and took their horses away.
I came here with excitement before, but now I want to return with a failure.
"Putting aside the heavy responsibility of the family, even if I haven't separated the victory or defeat with that kid, I'm a little unwilling!" Aaron gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Eh, you two, where are you going?" Behind him, Cacys's puzzled voice suddenly sounded.
Hearing this, Arden turned his head and replied with his fists clenched: "Since Xiaoyou rejected the proposal just now, then there is no point in the two of us staying here, so I will not disturb the conversation between you and Lord Yuli and the others, so I will leave." β
"Eh, strange, when did I say I wouldn't agree to your Ya family, didn't I agree when we talked about it just now?" Kathys touched his head, and his tone was even more confused.
"What?!" When Arden and Aaron heard this, their eyes widened and their mouths opened in disbelief.
"What?!" A few more exclamations rang out.
That's Yuri, Allen, and Blair.
After a few breaths, Arden reacted. When he saw the serious expression on Cayce's face, he was sure that the other party was not laughing, but really agreed.
Suddenly, he smiled happily, as if he were about to faint.
