Seeing the Oriental people walking towards this side outside the store, Pubri also became nervous all of a sudden, and even almost dropped the bread in his hand to the ground, Marcus, who was waiting outside the door to get the bread, saw Pubri's abnormality, and immediately turned his head to follow his gaze, but when he saw the Oriental people not far behind him, he was also startled, instinctively wanted to dodge, but he was reluctant to get the bread that was about to arrive, after all, he had been hungry for a few days, and the taste of starvation was not very pleasant.

Just when Marcus hesitated, the orientals behind him finally came to the door of the bakery, these people were obviously soldiers in the army, probably taking advantage of the rest time to go out, so they all looked a little lazy, but probably for safety reasons, these people were all armed to prevent emergencies, it is estimated that they also saw the bread shop of Pubri open, which is also the only store in the neighborhood that is open, so they are very interested in coming over.

Seeing these oriental soldiers enter the store, Pubri and Marcus were all nervous, and Marcus didn't dare to leave anymore, so he stood motionless in front of the counter at the moment, and although Pubri was also nervous, he finally asked, "What do you want?" ”

"@¥%@#¥%......" One of the Oriental people at the head pointed to the bread behind Pubri and said a series of words that he didn't understand at all, but Pubri, who had been in business for many years, still understood what the other party meant, and he seemed to be asking how to sell his bread?

Knowing that the other party seemed to be just here to buy bread, this made Pubri secretly relieved, and hurriedly turned around and took a few pieces of bread and handed them over, hoping that the other party would leave quickly after taking the bread. But what he didn't expect was that the other party tasted the bread after getting it, and then said something with a smile. As if he was praising the good taste, he handed the bread to the Orientals behind him, and after tasting it, the Orientals all smiled and said a few words, and then reached out to Pubri again to ask for the bread.

Seeing this, Pubri couldn't help but smile bitterly, he originally wanted to send the other party away with a few pieces of bread. But it seems that these Orientals are more greedy than he thought, and they still want it after eating this, but there are more than 20 people on the other side, if they are fed, I am afraid that there will not be much bread left, as for collecting money, he has not even thought about it, when the soldiers of Rome came to eat bread, they often paid on credit, and never paid it back.

Although I was very reluctant in my heart. But when he saw the weapons on the waists of these orientals, Pubri had no choice but to give in, turn around and hold a bunch of bread on the counter again, and the oriental soldiers swarmed up, each took two pieces of bread and ate it. Originally, Pubri thought that the other party would leave without looking back, but he didn't expect the Oriental soldier led by him to say a few words to him again in a language he didn't understand, as if he was asking something?

If it were someone else, Puburi might suspect that the other party was asking for the price. But in the face of these Orientals who occupied Rome, he didn't dare to guess so. So after a long time, he didn't understand what the other party meant, but in the end, the Oriental soldier was a little anxious, took out a handful of things from his arms and slapped them on the counter, and then motioned for him to take it himself.

Seeing what the other party took out, Pubri was stunned again, only to see that the Oriental man took out a pile of discs made of bronze. It is very similar to the copper coins they used in Rome, but with a square hole in the middle and some fine text on it, which looks like it should be the coins used by the Orientals. Coincidentally, they also used bronze coins in Rome. Of course, they also have gold and silver coins, but for the common people, copper coins are used the most.

At this time, Marcus saw the strange behavior of the Orientals, and slowly relaxed, immediately picked up the coins on the counter and observed them carefully, and then said with admiration: "It is indeed bronze, and it is so exquisitely made, our Roman copper coins are like a pile of garbage compared to this kind of copper coins, and even our gold and silver coins cannot be made so exquisitely!" ”

Although Marcus was an alcoholic, he was also a skilled blacksmith, so he could naturally recognize the material of the copper coin at a glance, and he was also full of praise for making such a beautiful coin.

"Marcus, these Orientals seem to want to pay, do you think I should take it?" Pubri was a little hesitant here, from the contact just now, he found that these Orientals seemed to be really kind, plus the other party also took a lot of bread, these are all money, so he was bold for a while.

"Take it, I also think that these Orientals are different from those barbarians in history, they have occupied Rome for so long, and they have never disturbed the people, and they take the initiative to pay after buying bread, which shows that they have strict military discipline, if you don't take it, maybe they will be angry." Marcus thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"Then you should collect something, these copper coins are different from our copper coins, and there is no way to calculate this price?" Here again, Pubri said that there were five kinds of copper coins in Rome, each of which had a different value, so he did not know how to convert these Oriental copper coins.

"This ......," Marcus muttered again when he heard this, and finally said, "This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful copper coin, and I think it will be calculated according to the highest value of Esthals, anyway, even if it is a loss, it is nothing." ”

Hearing Marcus's suggestion, Pubri also nodded, and immediately settled the account according to the copper coin of Estyrs, which was the highest value, and finally took out some copper coins from it, and returned the rest to the other party, the soldier also waited patiently, and after seeing that the other party took the money, he smiled with satisfaction, reached out and grabbed the returned copper coin and stuffed it into his arms, and then left with the person.

Seeing that these Orientals finally left the store, Pubri and Marcus were also relieved, and then the two looked at each other, and then Pubri spoke: "These Orientals are really kind, it seems that they can open their doors and do business normally in the future!" ”

"That is, I observed just now, these Orientals are really rich, the armor and weapons they wear are all made of fine steel, the weapons of our Roman army can't be compared with others at all, no wonder they will lose so badly!" At this time, Marcus once again analyzed from the professional perspective of a blacksmith, just now he had already discovered that the weapons equipped by the Orientals were of excellent quality, and even wanted to take them over and take a closer look, but unfortunately he didn't dare to speak in the end.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then a tall figure walked into the bakery, and when they saw Pubri and Marcus inside, the visitor immediately shouted in surprise: "Pubri, Marcus, let's see who came to see you?" ”

Purbury and Marcus also felt a little familiar when they heard this voice, and turned their heads to look at it, only to see a tall figure wearing Oriental armor standing in front of the door, but this person was not an Oriental, but a typical European face, and then looked at the familiar smile on the other party's face, which made them stunned for a moment, and then shouted in surprise: "Gruth!" Oh my God, you're still alive? ”

The person who came was Agnes's most trusted knight Gruss, this time he also came to Europe with Zhao Jia and them, and he was originally a Roman, and he knew Pubri and Marcus when he was a child, and he has always wanted to visit them after he came back this time, but there are too many things after entering the city, and he is one of the few people who are familiar with Rome, so he has a lot of things, and he finally found some time to visit his good friends today.

"Haha~, I knew it would scare you, you would never have imagined what I had experienced over the years!" Gruss also walked in excitedly at this time, and then put the large bag in his hand on the counter, which was a gift he brought to his old friend.

"Lord, you wanted to become a knight back then, but you went for more than 20 years, and there was no news during this period, we all thought that you had died on the battlefield, but now you ......" Marcus also seemed very excited at this time, but when he finally saw Gruth wearing oriental armor and weapons, he couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, and he didn't know what to say?

"Oh, don't be surprised, I joined the army and went to the battlefield, not only did not die on the battlefield, but also made a lot of contributions, and won the trust of His Majesty Henry IV, and then His Majesty was rebelled and died by two sons, and I protected Princess Agnes to escape from Europe, and finally we went to the Great Song Dynasty, which is now the country where the Oriental army that now occupies Rome, where the princess met her love, and married a prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and now the prince led the army and killed back, We must help Her Royal Highness reclaim her throne! Gruth briefly told his own experience, and he and these two old friends had not seen each other for more than 20 years, so he was naturally very happy at this time.

"Lord, your experience is comparable to that of the heroes of Greek mythology, tell us about your detailed experience over the years, and what was it like for you and the princess to go to the Great Song Dynasty, and I heard that they made the incomparably precious silk and porcelain?" At this time, Pubri also shouted that his old friend was in the army of the Orientals, which was simply good news for him.

"That's right, silk and porcelain are all too common in the Great Song Dynasty, and I'll bring you some!" As he spoke, Gruth took out two pieces of silk and a few fine porcelain plates from them, and gave them to Marcus and Pubri, much to their shock, for these two things were too valuable for only a few nobles, let alone commoners.
