Petersburg. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Luo Xiaobing successfully passed Isana's test, and under her surprised and happy eyes, with her blessing, he went to a castle on the edge of the cliff to the west of Groda Town.
The castle is built on the edge of a cliff and there is only one way up the mountain.
Luo Xiaobing spent 15 stones, hired a carriage, and sent himself to the castle.
After taking the carriage, Luo Xiaobing had 2 crystal coins and 85 stone coins left.
Although the money on his body has decreased a little, Luo Xiaobing's spirit is very good.
He had on him a certificate from the mercenary guild to which Isanna belonged, and with this certificate, he could come to Petersburg and complete the task given to him by his master.
"Hello, we have been notified. We look forward to your arrival here. ”
Luo Xiaobing was greeted by the butler of Petersburg, he had blonde hair, combed curly on the sides, a mustache, and some small eyes, but with a smile on his face, he was dressed in a formal gown, and he looked polite.
"Thank you, it's an honor to be a part of this mission."
Luo Xiaobing hurriedly returned the salute carefully, he smiled, put his left hand behind his back, put his right hand on his chest, and gently bent over to return the salute.
This is the etiquette that Isana taught his commoners to the nobles, because this mission is more special, and the identity of the character is also very special, Isana taught him these things, so that Luo Xiaobing can gain the favor of Petersburg.
The housekeeper saw that although Luo Xiaobing was dressed plainly and simply, he knew etiquette, and he still had a smile on his face, but there was more enthusiasm in his tone.
"Please follow me." The butler made a gesture of invitation, and asked the servant to open the gate of the castle and walk into the castle with Luo Xiaobing.
The butler led him to the hall, gently pushed the door open, and made a gesture of invitation.
Luo Xiaobing smiled and nodded in response, and walked into the golden hall.
There were several luxurious sofas in the hall, on which three people sat and two aristocratic couples in their forties and fifties.
A man in his thirties, wearing a pair of single-lens glasses, sat across from them.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, they all stood up, turned around, and looked at Luo Xiaobing.
"Oh? This is the mercenary that Isana is talking about? Judging by the appearance, still very young? Peter was a little surprised, if he hadn't believed in Isana's character, he mistakenly thought that he had come from to deceive.
Therefore, he resisted the urge to call someone to blast him out.
He turned his gaze to the man with the single glasses.
"You're the mercenary who came to help me translate the ancient texts?" The one-eyed man didn't judge people by his looks like the Peters.
"My name is Thors, you can call me Mr. Tors."
"Hello, Mr. Tórce, my name is Law." Luo Xiaobing also smiled politely and introduced himself.
Seeing that the two of them had gotten to know each other, Peter and his wife also put away their contempt for Luo Xiaobing.
"Well, I'm sure Miss Isana isn't joking with me, please come with me." Thor made a gesture of invitation and prepared to take Luo Xiaobing up to the second floor.
And the Peter couple looked at Tors in surprise, and then at Luo Xiaobing, who was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Lord Petersburg, I hope you can help me not to disturb us while I work with this Luo brother, okay?" Thors seemed to be pleading, but his tone was full of unquestionable attitude.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's our honor to be able to serve Mr. Tórse." ”
Peter and his wife are the owners of the castle, but they are very respectful and even a little flattering to Thor, which makes Luo Xiaobing can't help but have some curiosity about this man named Thors.
However, he did not show it, but stood there with a calm face, and after waiting for Toles to signal, the two went up to the second floor.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter breathed a sigh of relief, and called the butler, whispered an instruction, and then, looking at a certain room on the second floor, they left with some mixed feelings.
In this room full of books, Tors took out a rubbing, put it on the desk, looked at Luo Xiaobing, and said with a smile: "This is a copy of my rubbing, you can come and see how much content can be solved." ”
"Okay, no problem." Luo Xiaobing nodded, for the sake of crystal coins, he was going to start working.
"Well, this is a roll of paper, the text you deciphered, and the trouble can be written on it." Thors placed a roll of paper on his desk and placed a quill on it.
At the same time, he moved out of the way and motioned for Luo Xiaobing to sit there.
"I'll only pay you if you work for an hour and have at least 50% accuracy."
"Okay." Luo Xiaobing nodded and looked at the mysterious symbol on the rubbing.
In the eyes of today's human beings, these symbols are like tadpole scripts, or heavenly books, and only people with corresponding professional knowledge can solve the words in them.
Thors planned to translate the simple content to Luo Xiaobing first, of course, these contents were all scrambled to protect the secrets of the ancient secret texts.
And these tadpole-like symbols, in Luo Xiaobing's eyes, became Chinese characters he knew one by one.
Then, he picked up the quill pen, and although he was a little unaccustomed to holding it, he quickly adapted to the posture of holding the pen, and began to point to a symbol in one hand, and then wrote the corresponding words on the rolling paper.
And these words turned out to be the ancient languages that are currently in use.
Luo Xiaobing was very fortunate that although he lost most of his things when he transferred, he did not leave any of his professional knowledge behind, which gave Luo Xiaobing a foundation for his life.
Thors sat in a sofa chair not far from his desk, sipping a coffee-like drink. In his hand, he still has a book in his hand, and he is reading it boringly.
Unintentionally, his eyes swept to Luo Xiaobing, but he was slightly stunned when he saw Luo Xiaobing's pen flying.
Luo Xiaobing's writing speed is very fast, there are only a few hundred words on this rubbing, but in a few minutes, Luo Xiaobing has written all the content on it.
"All right, Mr. Tors." Luo Xiaobing put down the quill pen and gently rotated it on the pen holder.
"Poof." Thors squirted out his expensive drink and coughed several times, his face pained.
Luo Xiaobing was startled, hurriedly walked over, and said a little anxiously: "Mr. Toles, are you okay?" ”
You know, Tors is Luo Xiaobing's hope, and he naturally doesn't want anything to happen to him.
Tors coughed up tears, stretched out his hand to stop Luo Xiaobing from stepping forward, and said, "No, it's okay, let's see what you wrote first." ”
"OK, no problem." Luo Xiaobing suddenly came to his senses, immediately turned back to the desk, and carefully took the roll paper, afraid that the pen and ink on it would contaminate each other.
At the same time, it is so troublesome to slander the office supplies of this world in my heart.
