"Arion, Arion, he's coming."
At the counter, Bart glanced sideways and whispered to Arion, who was in a daze beside him.
"Him?"
Arrien came back to his senses, his gaze turned vacantly around the lobby, and in his sight, he saw a handsome man with a cold face slowly walking towards them.
The vague memory in his mind was clear, and he suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was the person he had offended by getting drunk last night.
"This gentleman, please forgive me for my offending when I was drunk last night."
Arrien staggered to his feet and bowed his head to the man walking in front of him and apologized, but his attitude was too casual and blunt to make people feel his sincerity in the slightest.
"Guest—"
Seeing Arion's appearance, Bart was anxious for a while, and just wanted to explain to the man in front of him, but was interrupted by the other party before he finished speaking.
"I see." The man nodded, "I need to go out to do some business now, and I hope you can introduce me to a guide who is familiar with Kanlos." ”
Bart was slightly stunned when he heard this, and the corner of his eye unconsciously glanced at Arion, who was sitting back in the chair next to him, and after a moment, he cautiously said to the other party: "If you don't mind, maybe Arion can help you, without any compensation, it should be all as an apology for his offense against you last night!" ”
"Yes."
The man said unconcernedly.
"Arion, don't be stunned by nothing here, hurry up, and you must take this guest's instructions seriously!"
Bart walked out of the counter and unceremoniously kicked the chair where the other party was sitting and said loudly.
"But I haven't eaten yet......"
Arion turned to Bart in a daze.
"I won't give you anything to eat until I've done what the guest has told me! Got it? Bart said with a sinking face.
"I see."
Surprisingly, Arrien nodded quite obediently, he stood up again, looked at the man in front of him and said, "Excuse me, what do you need to do in Kanros?" ”
"I need to find a trustworthy currency exchange dealer, and I need to buy something." The man said calmly.
"Okay, if you want to exchange money for a merchant, I recommend Mr. Ed, the best place to buy goods is on Hongrhomba Street......"
"That's a lot of nonsense, the most important thing you need to do now is to go out immediately as the guests instruct!"
Bart reached out and patted Arrien on the shoulder hard, saying with a vicious expression on his face.
"Okay, okay! Please come with me, gentleman. ”
Arrien numbly agreed, and then walked straight out the door.
"This guest, please forgive me if there is any rudeness to Arion and the others."
Before leaving, Bart still did not forget to excuse Arion from the man in front of him.
After watching the two disappear through the door of the hotel, Bart finally breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that this time Arion would not live up to his painstaking efforts.
"Huh, where's Arion?"
At this time, the young waiter of the inn came over with food and water on the tray and wondered.
"He's leaving for the time being, let's give him these things later."
Bart shook his head, looked at the steaming broth and bread on the squire's tray and waved his hand.
"By the way, I remember there was still some cooked minced meat in the kitchen, so let's give it to him when the time comes."
……
The small town of Canros is remote and has a small population, so it is far from the hustle and bustle of the big towns, but due to its proximity to the Lelaso Mountains, many caravans often choose to stay here to rest, and the quiet and peaceful town of Canlos adds to their lively scene.
As a native of the town of Kanros, Arion knows everything about Kanros, and even knows the characteristics of many people in the town.
For example, the currency is exchanged against Huàn Shang Ed.
Although Ed is not the only currency exchange merchant in the town, Ed is the most honest of all the currency exchange merchants, and other currency exchange merchants and outsiders often steal and take advantage of other currency exchange merchants, but Ed does not.
People often say that there is no business, but Ed believes in integrity.
Over the years, those who are familiar with Kanros are well aware of Ed's business style, and once an outsider hires a local guide to find a currency exchange dealer, the guide's first reaction is to recommend Ed.
Ed is a middle-aged man in his forties, and nothing attracts the most attention for his full beard, he is very strong, not at all like a businessman, but like a mercenary who walks on the tip of a knife and takes risks!
Perhaps it is only when he entertains his guests with hospitality that he reveals his unique image as a businessman.
"Arion, long time no see."
Eddard was surprised to see Arrien, who hadn't seen him since that bad luck had befallen him.
"Ed, there's a guest here who needs to exchange your money for Sissinia."
Arion nodded, his expression indifferent and numb.
"This guest, may I ask what currency you need to exchange for huàn?"
Now that there is business coming to the door, Ed's mind is also on the man brought behind Arion.
"Adria currency, all for Huàn Sisinian gold coins!"
The man walked up to Ed, reached out and took out a heavy, bloated bag from his bosom, and then threw it on the flat table in front of him with a heavy muffled sound.
"Tsk-"
Slowly untying the string tied to the bag, after a while, Ed actually sighed in surprise.
Because the bag was full of Adria gold coins, and from the look of his eyes, there were at least sixty or seventy gold coins here.
That's a lot of numbers.
While counting the gold coins in the cloth bag, Ed couldn't help but think, but he hadn't seen such a big business for a long time, and his heart even became slightly excited.
Eighty-five.
That's all the gold coins in the bag.
The exchange of currency is a patient and tedious process, because the currency exchange business also has to verify the authenticity of the currency, the gold content, the benefits, etc.
When the formalities of one qiē were completed, according to the currency exchange rate of the two countries, 3 Sisinian silver coins were about equal to one gold Adrian coin, and 8 silver coins were equivalent to about one gold Sissinian coin, and finally 85 gold Adrian coins shrank to 28 silver coins.
This process of exchanging huàn can imagine how unbearable the value of Adria's currency is!
"If I still have a large amount of Adria gold coins here, can you continue to exchange them?"
Taking the silver coin that Ed put in the bag and handed over, Xia Lan frowned slightly.
"Of course."
When Ed heard this, he immediately said happily.
"So...... All of this for me in gold coins of Sissinia! ”
As he spoke, he saw that Xia Lan's arms were like a bottomless pit, and bags of coins were taken out by him and placed on the other party's countertop!
Ed's eyes widened at the sight, and he looked at the money bags that were almost piled up on the table in disbelief.
In the end, some of these purses were still not cleaned up, because Ed didn't have enough Sessinian currency to continue converting to huàn.
After leaving Ed's shop, on the way to Red Rhomba Street, Xia Lan seemed to rub the heavy and thick gold coin of Sessinia between his fingers with great interest, while Arion, who had been silent and numb, suddenly opened his mouth.
"Sir, we're in trouble."
"I know." Xia Lan put away the gold coins and said calmly, "I found out when I left the hotel, it seems that their patience has been completely exhausted by the temptation of money. ”
As he left the Mintok Hotel, Charan noticed that there were two people in the lobby who were watching him consciously or unconsciously, and after he and Arion left, the two men quietly followed behind them, and in the process, one of them disappeared, until they left Eddard's shop, and the strange aura following them was a few more and closer to them.
As he spoke, when he reached the mouth of an alley, several strange figures suddenly appeared around and surrounded Xia Lan and Arion.
"Hey! Boy, hand over all your money! Otherwise, don't blame us for being polite. ”
It was a majestic and burly fierce man who spoke, holding a dagger tightly in his hand and aiming it at Xia Lan, as if the other party would stab the other party mercilessly as long as he showed uncooperative and stubborn resistance.
"Moroz! It's you! ”
Arrien looked at each other, and his tone sounded like he knew each other.
"Who is he?" Xia Lan said quietly.
"The gangster leader of Kanlos often robs passing foreign tourists with impunity, and because he has a certain relationship with the city guard officer Algernon, he has not been arrested and sanctioned by the city guards!"
Arion stared at Moroz with a fierce gaze and gritted his teeth, he would not forget that it was the person who cooperated with Algernon to frame him in prison in the first place!
"So it's you, kid? How? Do you want to try prison life again? ”
After hearing the words of the two of them, Moroz suddenly shook the dagger in his hand and ridiculed wildly.
"I see."
Xia Lan nodded.
"Humph! Less! Now that you know your uncle's reputation in Kanlos, don't think about struggling and resisting! Otherwise, the dagger in my hand won't have eyes! Morozyin snorted coldly at the other party with a calm face: "Do you hand over the money with your own hands or let me search it out of your corpse and choose for yourself!" ”
"I think you've overlooked something."
Xia Lan looked at him indifferently and said.
"What's the matter?" Moroz Road.
"Even Algernon would be terrified when he sees me, let alone a barking mad dog under his hand!"
After saying that, Xia Lan put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Arrogance!"
Moroz's eyes were red, and he stabbed at Xia Lan with the dagger in his hand like an out-of-control beast!
"Qiang—"
The sword is unsheathed.
A splash of bright red suddenly splashed on Arien's stunned face.
He reached out and wiped the blood from his cheek.
Warm, slippery.
In his sight, he saw a column of blood gushing out from the sun!
