Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 1 The first-class shop in Heavy Gold Town
When I first set foot on this land, I knew I had no way back – Sean Ferrier II.
————————————————
The rare heavy rain hit Chongjin Town, bringing spring rain to a city that had turned to a commercial center due to water shortage.
The big guy was bored lying on the counter, today's business can be described as bleak, this sudden heavy rain made those noble ladies reluctant to go out, how could they come to the store to pick out beautiful shoes, and tip themselves a little more. If he said it, he shouldn't have come to such a rain, and let Mrs. Gui go shopping in a carriage so that she could come to the store to buy a new pair of shoes.
The big guy felt a little sorry for his shriveled wallet, which he had spent in the tavern last night, and blamed the bartender who said as well as himself, and squeezed his last copper coin for a glass of ale.
There was a pop, and a sound not far from the door of the store interrupted the deep thought of the big guy. Lifting the curtain at the entrance of the store, a beggar in tattered clothes fell into a puddle under the heavy rain, the big guy sighed, this year is really not good, even the commercial Chongjin Town can see the haunt of beggars.
Back in the store, the big guy walked to the backyard, he had to report the situation in front of the boss's shop, even if he didn't save the little beggar, he had to drive him away, but he couldn't let him die at the door of the first-class store.
The chubby boss hid under the umbrella held by the big guy, and his round body squeezed most of the big guy's body into the rain, embarrassing the big guy but not daring to speak.
The beggars in the puddles struggled to lift their heads out of the water, trying to hide under the eaves of the shops on the street to avoid the rain. The harder I tried, the more blood burst out of the wounds on my body, and gradually stained the small puddles red.
The fat boss pinched his nose, observed the situation of the beggar with disgust, and said to the big man: "Throw him out of the city in a carriage, and don't affect the business of the shop." ”
The big guy who hooked his body and his hair was already wet nodded, and he immediately went to do it. Although he couldn't bear to do this, the big man looked at the beggar who fell into the puddle, and could only sigh that who can save anyone in this world.
Sending the boss back to the store, the fat boss said bad luck and went into the back room to calculate the recent income.
Sighing, the big man came to the backyard, put the reins on the horses, and confessed a few words to the god he believed in, after all, he didn't kill the beggar with his own hand wielding a butcher's knife, he just transported the beggar outside the city, and life and death were up to heaven.
"What are you doing? Why do you use horse-drawn carriages on this rainy day? ”
The big guy lowered his head and said hello to the people, the woman in front of him was the fat boss's favorite little daughter, the big guy didn't dare to displease her, even if he was the most agile guy in the store, he had to be fired by the fat boss, these days, good jobs are not easy to find.
"Back to the little lady, there is a beggar at the door, this will not send him out of the city, we must not let him die in front of our store······"
Pointing a finger, the big guy bowed over, apologized to the little lady, and bypassed her. The big guy wanted to throw the beggar out of the city as soon as possible, and he didn't want to transport a corpse to a mass grave.
"Wait!"
The big guy turned his head, looked at the little lady in confusion, and asked with a smile on his face, "What's the matter, little miss?" ”
"Give me the umbrella, I'm going to see it."
"No, little miss······ I'll get the umbrella. ”
Without waiting for the big guy to dissuade her, she took the umbrella and walked towards the beggar, and the big guy braved the rain to keep up, but she couldn't let the little lady have some accidents.
"Turn him over."
She ordered the big guy, covering her nose with one hand and fanning the air with the other, even the heavy rain could not stop the stench emanating from the beggar's body.
As the little lady ordered, the big guy stuck his hands into the mud, and the ninja turned the beggar over in disgust, and waved his hand to clean his hands covered with mud.
······
"Little Miss, let's go back first, what's so beautiful about the beggar, what if you get caught in the wind chill on this rainy day?!"
The big guy's two hands had nowhere to put them, because they were stained with mud, and he didn't want to stain his clothes, so he had to whisper to remind her, and the big guy also decided to go to the store to find a glove to prevent his hands from getting dirty during the handling.
"Hmmm······"
"Then let's go back quickly, little lady here."
"I mean," she said, stopping the fellow, word by word, "move him back, and he'll be an apprentice in the shop." ”
"But ······"
Without waiting for the big guy to explain, she took the umbrella back to the store, leaving the big guy dumbfounded in the rain.
————————————————
"Don't act weird!"
The man's voice was low, but stern.
Those cloudy eyes stared at Sean, making him feel very unhappy.
Sean didn't doubt that those old eyes could see, but he didn't believe he could see what he was grimacing.
Sean felt that this might be what the fat boss had guessed, after all, he couldn't put anyone in his eyes except money and guests.
"As I said, don't be weird!"
His voice grew deeper, but his thick lips barely moved.
"Don't scratch your hands!"
The dry words came to Sean's ears one after another, giving him a feeling of being stared at all the time, Sean was a little impatient, and he didn't come to this store voluntarily.
"You're working in a first-class shop now, remember! To be an apprentice is to look like an apprentice, and when you stand in front of the store, you have to look like a statue······"
Sean didn't want to know why he had to stand like a statue, he wanted to scratch his hands, he had been in the shop since he woke up.
A lewd-looking guy tells him that Sean is their buddy from today onwards, no, an apprentice. Whether he can become a buddy depends on Sean's performance in the future.
Sean wanted to scratch his hand, and there were many red spots and rotten sores on his arm. This was bitten by the blue and white sores that are unique to this area, which made Sean feel extremely itchy and uncomfortable.
"What do you do at home?"
The chubby boss looked at Sean and asked.
What to live?
Sean tilted his head, the question that made him ponder.
He lived two lifetimes and did many things.
He was still in the blue star in his last life, and the most he did since he was a child was to play games and cope with exams, and after entering the society, before he could make a career, he resigned because he couldn't stand his boss's unique habits and became a professional writer.
Because of the code word, he finally died in front of the computer. Recalling the reader who chased his eight books, Sean has some regrets, he is called Xiao from the beginning of his life, and he has stopped updating forever.
Born in a new continent, Sean doesn't know where this continent is, but he was born into an aristocratic family. But before Sean could enjoy a few days of aristocratic life, his home was destroyed, and Sean had to embark on a wandering road until he was picked up and became an apprentice in the shoe shop.
Sean doesn't want to stay here as an apprentice, he faces a hunt, and he has more important things to do.
The fat boss didn't bother, and after knowing that Sean came from an aristocratic family, he scoffed and said defiantly: "Aristocrat? A broken nobleman is not as good as a rag picker, not even a beggar for food, or even a thief who steals! ”
Hearing this, Sean puffed out his chest and proudly declared, "Actually, I have stolen things too." ”
He pressed his hand on the desk on sloping stilts, his two hands were like the two paws of a cat, stared at Sean in horror with those empty and godless eyes, and said viciously in a low and hoarse voice, "What-?!" Have you ever stolen anything? How did you steal it? ”
Seeing the fat boss's puffed cheeks, Sean 1510 picked out some simple things to tell him about stealing things before.
"Alright, it's a trivial matter, just let it pass! However, if you steal shoes or money from me, I will send you to prison until you are ······an adult."
The fat boss seemed very calm when he said this, and after saying that, he went to the store, ready to receive business. Sean opened his mouth, he didn't want to stay in this shoe store and become an apprentice. Although Sean was rescued by the boss's youngest daughter, Sean will express his gratitude for this, but it does not mean that he sold himself to the shoe store. His home was ruined, and he had to find the place, the mysterious place he and Snot had spent their entire lives finding.
The fat boss went out, Sean had to chase after him, wanting to explain all this, he can't pay now, but he can owe it first, Xiao Honest Langjun En is a waste of fame.
Sean bumped into the big guy who was resting, and it was the big guy who carried him to the store, Sean thought that since he was a big guy in the shoe store, he also had a certain right to speak.
But no matter how he explained to the big guy who picked him up, in addition to shaking his head and refusing, the big guy would move out of the little lady of the first-class store as a cover, "Your life was saved by the little lady, only if the little lady says that you leave, the store will let you go, now you can be an apprentice with peace of mind!" ”
"······"
The big guy has long since left, and he is going to receive the ladies who have come to the first-class store.
Sean opened the corner of the curtain and saw the big guy half-kneeling on the ground, smiling flatteringly. The fat boss is also grinning at the moment, and there is a person named Sasha in the store, his face is flushed, as if just looking at that expensive lady, his whole body is going to burn.
Sean didn't like to listen to what they had to say, he felt very unnourished, and he just hoped that the big guy and the fat boss would finish receiving the guests quickly, and he had to ask them about the name of the city and whether it was still within the chase range of his pursuers.
It's all that damn wanted warrant, Sean cursed in a low voice.
The fat boss's hand was pulled out of his pocket, pinched the mustache, and watched with a smile as the big man entertained the noble lady. His cheeks were wrinkled by this smirk, but his mung bean-sized eyes could not be found at this time, as if he was blind.
The big man straightened up at this time, his elbows pressed tightly to his waist, and his hands and fingers were spread out, hanging respectfully in the air.
Kneeling in front of the female customer, the big guy spread his fingers and measured the size of her feet.
His hands trembled, and he touched the woman's foot cautiously and gently, as if he would injure it if he was not careful. I'm afraid that if he gets hurt, the big guy will be finished, not to mention being expelled, and his family property will not be able to pay for it.
Sean knew the truth and sighed, after all, he had lived in such an aristocratic family.
Sasha stared at Mrs. Gui's fat and big feet scurrying around in the arms of the big guy, listening to Mrs. Gui's scream, she couldn't stand it and returned to the back of the counter, glared at Sean who peeked, and left with a red face and a monkey butt.
"Ouch~ You make me itch so much······"
"Ma'am, this is out of courtesy." The big guy hurriedly explained as hard as he could.
Sean reluctantly lowered the curtain, and it seemed that he couldn't wait for the big guys to finish the "reception" for a while.
Eventually, Sean stayed in the first-class shop as an apprentice. One is that this city is called Chongjin Town, located in the southwest of the Hinterland continent by the sea, very far away from the high-walled city, Sean does not have to worry about chasing and killing his two people and one cat.
The second is that Sean and Snot had heard during their wanderings that Heavy Gold Town might have a key to that mysterious place, the battlefield. Snot travels to a city in the north, while Sean arrives in Heavy Gold, and they go their separate ways to find the key.
Staying in the first-class store can also be regarded as a cover to protect Sean's actions to find and inquire about the key.
That night, Sasha Kafka, the fat boss's nephew, takes Sean to the accommodation he has arranged, which Sean calls a "kennel".
"Business in the store will only get better and better if the big guy pleases the female customer, and even if the female customer doesn't need to buy shoes, she will come to take care of the cute guy in the store. Why don't you even move such a simple truth?! Hey, I'm worried about you······"
Along the way, Sasha kept talking.
Sean stopped in his ears, as if Sasha was making excuses for his red-faced and embarrassed appearance today, after all, Sean saw his embarrassment.
With envious and jealous eyes, Sasha said all the way.
Listening to Sasha's nagging, Sean was led by Sasha to his temporary house, a small four-story building.
Sean's room was arranged in the attic, a low room, which was really a kennel as Shaun described it.
Pushing open the attic window, Sean simply lay on the roof of the building and spread his five fingers, staring at the sea of stars through his fingers.
Good night world, Sean said.
