Chapter 033: The thin Wang Shengcai
Taking advantage of the fact that the news of Xu Jing's death did not spread, Ning Yu hurried back to the city and found Wang Shengcai, an old acquaintance of the Baron's Mansion Noble Registration Office.
I haven't seen him for a long time, Wang Shengcai still remembers Ning Yu, but Ning Yu hasn't given him gifts since he entered Tianlan Academy, so his attitude towards Ning Yu has also become a little colder, and even the greetings are saved.
"Knight Ning came to me for something, if not, I'm going home. Wang Shengcai's face was slightly cold, looking a little unkind.
"Don't hide it, my lord, I want to raise the level of the nobles to another level, with Lord Lao's help to calculate, how much does it cost to be promoted to a third-class baron?" Ning Yu didn't seem to see Wang Shengcai's expression, took out a golden gold coin, and put it on the table.
To deal with people like Wang Shengcai, as long as you give money, money can make ghosts grind, and Wang Shengcai is that ghost.
Sure enough, when he saw the golden gold coin, Wang Shengcai's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, and he hurriedly put the gold coin into the space ring, and said with a smile on his face like an old chrysanthemum: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Knight Ning is really polite, I'll help you do the math." ”
While speaking, Wang Shengcai took the nobleman's book and calculated carefully: "Knight Ning is now a third-class knight, with 100 merit points, 200 merit points to promotion to second class, and 300 points to promotion to first class, but if you want to become a baron, you must have 1,000 merit points......"
Listening to Wang Shengcai's words, Ning Yu also secretly calculated in his heart, the merit is basically exchanged for the magic core, and civilians need to pay 100 first-order magic cores to exchange for 100 merit points when they are promoted to knights, but if they are promoted to a third-class knight, they will have to pay 100 second-order magic cores, and if they are promoted to second-class knights, they will have to hand in 100 third-order magic cores, and then they will continue to hand in the third-order magic cores until they accumulate 1,000 points before they can be promoted to barons.
In this way, he needs a total of 100 second-order magic cores and 800 third-order magic cores, which is not counting the noble money to be paid.
Thinking of this, Ning Yu couldn't help but be a little worried about whether the magic core he brought was enough, if it was not enough, it would definitely be too late in time, the news of Xu Jing's death would spread in two days at most, and at that time, as long as the Baron's Mansion withheld his noble application, then he would not be able to become a baron, not only would the money and the demon core be handed over for nothing, but he would also be wanted by the whole city.
About half an hour later, Wang Shengcai stopped, habitually knocked on the nobleman's book with his hand and said: "It's calculated, the second-class knight needs 100 second-order magic cores and pays 300 silver in the noble gold; the first-class knights need 100 third-order magic cores and 700 silver in the noble gold; and the baron still needs the third-order magic core, but the number is large, 700 yuan, and the noble gold is 1,500 silver." ”
Ning Yu silently calculated from the bottom of his heart, the money alone costs 2,500 silver, and the exchange into gold coins is 25 gold, gold coins are generally in the hands of nobles above the knight, and the people mostly use copper coins to trade with silver coins, so Wang Shengcai will use silver coins as the currency unit.
"I have the money, as for the magic core, I have enough for the second-order magic core, the third-order magic core is only 40 yuan, and the rest is all covered by the sixth-order magic core. Ning Yu first took out the magic core "sent" by the apprentice class and the junior class, and put another 25 gold on the table, and then didn't move again.
The sixth-order demon core belongs to the high-level demon core, which is more expensive in comparison, if Wang Shengcai sees that he takes out more, he will definitely want to ask for it, and when the time comes, it is not a matter of not giving it, it is better not to let him know how much.
This can be regarded as a little caution on the part of Ning Yu, but he can only deal with an official like Wang Shengcai who is mercenary and thinks of ways to make black money.
Sure enough, when he heard that Ning Yu had a sixth-order demon core on his body, Wang Shengcai's two eyes began to straighten, staring directly at Ning Yu, as if waiting for Ning Yu to take it out, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Ning Yu move, so he had to say: "The sixth-order demon core is relatively rare, if you are willing to exchange it, I will exchange 1 piece of sixth-order for 40 third-order pieces, and you can just hand over 20 yuan." ”
As he spoke, Wang Shengcai hurriedly put away all the demon cores on the table.
Seeing this, Ning Yu secretly scolded shamelessly in his heart, this Wang Shengcai really saw the cracks and plugged the needle and got out of the way, 20 pieces of the sixth order is 800 pieces of the third order, which is enough to pay for the magic core required to be promoted to baron, but how to count the 40 pieces of the third order that he took out before? The other party was busy taking it all away, and it was clear that he wanted to hack his magic core.
However, at the critical moment, Ning Yu could only suffer a dumb loss, secretly wrote down the lesson, and at the same time took out a gold coin and forcibly stuffed it into Wang Shengcai's hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Hard, I want to become a baron in three days, and my application must be the first to be sent." ”
Wang Shengcai was naturally happy when he received the gold coin, patted his chest and said: "You can rest assured that I will do things, as long as you have money, there is nothing that cannot be done, Ning Jue, you can sit at home and wait for the letter of appointment of the Viscount's Mansion with peace of mind." ”
As if it had been decided that it was a sure thing, Wang Shengcai's title for Ning Yu changed from "Ning Knight" to "Ning Jue".
Ning Yu hurriedly laughed, leaving his address in Tianlan Academy and leaving.
Out of the Baron's Mansion, Ning Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, he had completed a major matter in his heart, and the next thing was to find a place to hide and quietly wait for the medal and letter of appointment issued by the Viscount's Mansion.
Barons are different from knights, knightly medals can be issued directly by the Baron's Palace, but the Baron's Medal needs to be applied to the Viscount's Palace, saying that it is an application, in fact, as long as the money and magic core are enough, then there will be no big problem.
For the sake of safety, Ning Yu did not return to Tianlan Academy, because once the news of Xu Jing and the others' deaths spread, the Baron's Mansion would definitely search the academy as soon as possible, compared to the misty forest full of demonic beasts outside the city, it was much safer.
On the first day, the people of the Xu family began to sense that something was wrong, and sent someone to quietly investigate, and found Xu Jing's body.
The next day, the people of the Xu family reported to the Baron's Mansion, and the Baron Lu Yan was furious and sent someone to search Ning Yu's residence in the civilian area, but found nothing, and then searched Tianlan Academy, but for some reason he left quickly, and the residual anger on his face when he left did not subside.
On the third day, the whole city searched for Ning Yu, and the streets and alleys were full of Ning Yu's portraits, but Ning Yu disappeared as if out of thin air, and let the soldiers of the Baron's Mansion turn Zufeng City upside down without finding any clues.
During this time, in addition to Ning Yu, there were two people who didn't want to eat, one was Wang Shengcai, who dared to be greedy for any money and dare to collect any money, he had just sent Ning Yu's application out, and the people of the Xu family came to complain, and only after inquiring did they know that Ning Yu had killed Xu Jing.
Killing a nobleman is a big crime, Wang Shengcai is not to mention how depressed he is, although he directly belongs to the Viscount's Mansion, but he is working in the Baron's Mansion, if Baron Lu Yan knows that he has applied for a baron for Ning Yu, Lu Yan will definitely strangle him at the first time, so he has not eaten well and slept well in the past two days, and he is a little thin.
