Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Person in Charge of the Fifth Shopping Street
In the castle boardroom.
The head chef wearing a high hat did not look very good, and the young master of his bureau called him to the conference room this time, and he must have complained that the food he cooked was not delicious.
It's not the first time this is the first time.
He's used to it.
The food is not delicious, who can blame it, the purchase of the kitchen is 10 gold every month, and more than ten people in the whole castle have to open their mouths to eat.
Less than 1 gold coin per person per month.
In addition to buying the cheapest pumpkins that are not easy to spoil, what can I do, I can't eat good things from the city lord, and let everyone starve to death.
Over the years, he has developed countless pumpkin recipes that he is proud of.
Pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pumpkin slices, pumpkin noodles...... He can even make a pumpkin feast out of pumpkins!
Today, Young Master Rhodes dared to complain that the pumpkin he made was not delicious, so he completely had a showdown with him and resigned, and went to the city to open a pumpkin shop, maybe the business was still very hot!
"Old man Gao, give you 100 gold, plus a moa, can you make a decent meal during the harvest festival?" Rod asked.
"Ah~"
The head chef was stunned, and his first reaction was that he had heard it wrong, this time Young Master Rhodes was not here to complain, but planned to give him money, and a one-time 100 gold, plus a moa!
"Young master, you're not sick, are you?" The head chef couldn't help but worry that there was once a servant in the castle who was depressed because he drank pumpkin soup every day.
The economic situation of the castle, the head chef is still clear, since the last earl, the income of the castle has not been good, to the young master's generation.
Due to the frequent assassination.
The income is completely collapsed.
It's already good to barely maintain the level of food and clothing, and I heard that the guard regiment has not been paid for several months, where is the money to hold a harvest festival dinner!
Captain Gray, who was used to standing by the wall, was also surprised, how could the young master suddenly have money recently, not only did he settle the salary of the guard regiment last month, but the export was 100 gold.
Could it be that the rumors of the noble lady in the imperial capital are true, the young master's first dedication was given to her, and he slept with him for several nights!
If the young master is really rich, Gray is also sincerely happy, and wants to tell him, please settle the salary of the guard regiment last month.
However, with his understanding of the young master, he, a door-picker, is not the kind of person who will be willing to spend money at a banquet.
Rod didn't bother to explain, and just learned a sentence from a stranger: explanation is equivalent to cover-up!
Directly took out a money bag.
He placed a hundred gold coins in front of the chef: "Harvest Festival, the second prince, Baron Edward of Ironforge, and Miss Elizabeth, will come to visit Neverwinter, and I hope you can make a dish that will please everyone." ”
"The prince is coming?" The head chef exclaimed.
"Yes." Rod nodded.
The head chef held the bag of gold coins with trembling hands, he had never seen so much money after working in the castle for so long.
"Okay, I'll be responsible for this, anyway, I also passed the palace chef exam, make sure the prince and baron are satisfied!"
After the old man left.
Rod looked at Captain Gray in front of him and said lightly: "I called you this time because I have a very important task to be entrusted to you. ”
Gray, Rhodes still trusts him.
Although he shouted all day long to quit and quit, he has been shouting for five or six years, and he is still not dead here, and he has not left.
This man was his mother's knight.
It's kind of a marriage.
After the violent death of Rod's parents, he was also negative for a long time, drinking heavily all day long, but he was still strong and responsible for his personal safety.
Rod briefly stated the content of the mission.
As usual, Captain Gray made a few complaints, scolded the second prince, and set off for Dorne Fortress.
Although the postman said that the second prince would not arrive until the day after tomorrow, the reason why he asked Captain Gray to leave immediately.
It's mainly Rhodes, who wants to guard against the second prince, this thing is so unreasonable, maybe it will arrive in the afternoon or tomorrow?
There's nothing wrong with being extra prepared.
As soon as the Second Prince arrives at Dorne Fortress, let Captain Gray escort him to Neverwinter along the way!
Don't let him wander around the North.
......
After the head chef and head Gray left.
Luo Si continued to report: "The great wizard Ivan seems to have had a holiday with the court wizard named Red next to the second prince, and said that he would hide for a while. ”
Rod:(⊙o⊙)...
Rod suddenly gossiped, very much to know what happened to these two people in the past, if I remember correctly, the court wizard named Red is very good-looking in the wizarding world.
Was it the original confession that was rejected?
Or peek at people taking a bath?
......
Forget it, as long as the safe house is okay, he really doesn't need the personal protection of the great wizard now.
"Young master, the people from the fifth shopping street have arrived, waiting in the hall, do you want to call them over."
Rod glanced at the time on his pocket watch.
9:45 a.m.
These people were 15 minutes early.
"Call them over." Rhodes said.
Taking advantage of this time, Rhodes changed his clothes and put on a mask, which he had asked Loth to borrow from the Great Wizard Ivan last night.
The name is very simple, it is called [Mask Change], and it is also produced by Vallon.
I don't know why, Ivan, the great wizard from Floating City, especially likes Vallon's things, but they are really practical.
After Rod put it on.
The whole person's appearance and voice have changed, and in the mirror, Rhodes is now a middle-aged man in his forties, and his voice has become thick and hoarse.
It's just that the workmanship of this thing is quite rough, as long as you look at it twice, the other party will know that it is fake.
Rhodes doesn't care.
The reason why I have to wear a camouflage mask and change my voice is to not let strangers know what they look like, otherwise it will be difficult for me to mix my trumpet.
Of course, the most important thing is to prevent these strangers from suddenly wanting to assassinate themselves on a whim, after all, there should be a lot of two or five boys playing this game.
......
Not long after.
Loth led two strangers into the conference room, one of whom looked to be in his thirties, unlike the players in leather armor and chain mail.
He was dressed in a very gentlemanly outfit, and if memory serves, he was wearing a suit that he should have bought at the best clothing store in Neverwinter.
A set starts at least 20 gold!
The right eye is also the same as that of the Gabala scholar, wearing a monocle, and at first glance he looks like a man who is good at disguise.
But the woman who followed him made Rod's eyes light up, and the clothes she was wearing had never been seen before.
The white shirt shows the most attractive part of the upper body, and the improved black unisex jacket makes the body look slim.
Even if you don't have to corset your waist, you look good.
And what impressed Rod the most was her knee-length skirt, which was completely different from today's aristocratic women, and this kind of wrapping was simply reverie.
After Loth saw her dress.
His face couldn't help but turn red.
But it is undeniable that this woman is really attractive, and in terms of figure, she is the type that Rod likes, and this refreshing dress always feels like it can save a lot of trouble.
After all, the tunic and wire tuft of the aristocratic girl are a nightmare for men, at least they will make you wait for a long ten minutes.
"Your Excellency the Earl, I am the president of the Fifth Shopping Street, Zhang Yiming, and I am very happy to be summoned by you." The single-lens youth stretched out his hand.
Knowing that this was their etiquette, Rhodes stretched out his white-gloved right hand and shook it gently, but his gaze stayed on the woman beside him.
"Hello Your Excellency, I am Alice, the president's secretary."
Rhodes finally waited for her to stretch out his hand, but this time, after holding her hand, Rod flipped it up, kissed the back of her hand gently, and said, "Miss Alice, you are really beautiful." ”
Alice was momentarily stunned.
In the game, he was rubbed with oil by an uncle in his forties, and he looked so ugly, a sense of disgust instantly rose in his heart, if it weren't for the president's explanation.
She really wants to hammer his dog's head!
