Chapter XXVII: The Baron's Magic Mirror
There seems to be a conflict in the glass shop, and the man who finds fault is a very difficult character to mess with just by looking at his clothes.
In this case, even if ordinary people want to watch the excitement, they will stay away so as not to be affected by the pond fish.
But Rosen didn't, he looked closely at the man's back, and after a few seconds, instead of dodging, he followed into the glass shop, and then stood in the corner of the door, pretending to admire the samples on the counter of the glass shop.
In the glass shop, after the man yelled, the guy in the store didn't look angry, he nodded and smiled: "Sir, I'm really sorry, the shopkeeper suddenly went out today." ”
'Sir? I was right. Rosen said to himself.
There is only one person in Sunderland who can be called a lord, and that is the mayor of the town, Baron Draco. In the game, Lawson once received a monster commission from Baron Draco and met him. Because there are some discrepancies between the game and the real imagination, when he was first outside the store, he only guessed that it might be a baron, but he was not sure.
Baron Draco was not a fool, he had the highest title, the most territory, and more than 300 elite guards under his command. In the small town of Sunderland, he is a soil emperor, walking straight, sideways, diagonally, all according to his heart.
"Hmph~"
The baron's hands were so heavy on the counter that the whole counter shook, and the glasses on the cabinet 'jingled', and several of them rolled to the ground and shattered.
"Liar! It's all liars! The baron roared like an angry lion, and the shopkeeper shrank his head in fright, and shivered in the corner like a quail.
Seeing that the situation was about to be uncontrollable, the door of the store behind Rosen was pushed open again, and a fat man with white and chubby, kind eyebrows walked in from outside the door, and before he could speak, two dimples had been squeezed out of his chubby cheeks: "Ahhh......h
The characteristics of this fat man are too obvious, and Lawson can recognize it at a glance, it is Visa, the owner of the glass shop.
"Visa, shut up!" Baron Draco waved his hand, blocking the other man's words directly.
After speaking, his hand reached into his arms and took out a pale yellow metal cylinder: "See for yourself, what kind of thing did you get me?!" ”
Visa hurriedly took a few steps, took the metal cylinder, turned his head to look at Lawson by the door, and whispered to the baron: "Sir, it's not very convenient here, why don't we go to the second floor?" That has a balcony and a good view. ”
"Okay, let's go to the second floor."
With that, he walked up to the second floor of the glass shop, and Visa, wiping the sweat from his forehead, trotted a few steps, and followed the baron.
Soon, there were only two people left in the hall on the first floor, Lawson and the shopkeeper.
Rosen walked over to the counter, looked at it casually, and finally picked up a glass with a flat bottom and a wide mouth on the table, he picked up the cup and asked, "Man, how much does this cup cost?" ”
The shopkeeper didn't move.
"Dude? Buddy? Rosen shouted.
"Ah~It's coming~" The shopkeeper finally came to his senses, he walked to the counter, quickly looked at the fur shoulder on Lawson's shoulder, looked at the glass again, and said, "25 Runte." ”
In the era when the annual income of ordinary farmers was less than 40 rants, a glass cup was sold for 25 rants, which was indeed a luxury.
Rosen was noncommittal, he picked up the glass, looked at the backlight in the direction of the door for a while, and then shook his head again and again: "There are a lot of bubbles, and the craftsmanship is not good enough, these lines, these lines, crooked, are really not good-looking." And this color, different shades, also very much affects the appearance......"
The man's face darkened when he heard this, and he snatched the cup from Lawson's hand: "Little hairy boy, do you like to buy it or not, let me tell you, within a radius of 100 miles, just our glass shop, you can't buy it anywhere else." ”
Monopoly management, no wonder it is so domineering.
Rosen sighed and took out the money helplessly: "What you said is also right, then buy it." ”
"Uh~~" The guy didn't expect Lawson to be so easy to speak, and he was a little stunned for a while.
"What are you doing? Put it in a wooden box for me! ”
"Oh~ Okay, okay, right away." The man's attitude is a 180-degree turn, after all, there are not many people who can take out 25 lunt to buy a cup at once.
He took out a beautiful wooden box, put it on the sawdust, put it in the cup, and sprinkled a thick layer of sawdust, which was crowded all the way to the wooden box, and then closed the lid, bowed down and handed the cup to Lawson: "Guest, your cup." ”
"Hmm~" Lawson nodded, took the box and put it on the counter, muttered for a few seconds, he took out another ronte, pressed it with his finger and pushed it in the direction of the guy: "I just saw that Lord Baron was very angry, and I was very curious." If you can tell me what's going on, this 1 Runte is yours. ”
The man was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on Ronte, a trace of longing flashed in his eyes, he looked left and right, and saw that there were only two of them in the store, so he lowered his voice and said, "Okay, I'll tell you." ”
Rosen took his finger away.
The guy immediately took the silver Langte into his arms, and quickly turned his head to look at the staircase, and after making sure that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said: "Here's the thing, the lord doesn't know where to get a magic mirror, it's very magical." When you look in the mirror, you look like you're looking at it from afar. ”
Lawson nodded again and again when he heard this: "Listening to you say this, it is indeed a good thing, the lord must love it very much, right?" ”
The guy clapped his hands lightly and said, "Yes, the lord can't put it down, and he plays with it in his hand every day." You know, this gentleman is very romantic, since he got this magic mirror, he has stayed at home every day to peek at the women in the town, and he doesn't even stop eating. ”
"Hmm~ The lord is really unruly." Rosen praised without being salty.
The guy didn't hear Rosen's perfunctory, he said excitedly: "Sir, you are so rich, and you have so many guards under him, you are naturally romantic." The magic mirror is right on his appetite, and he has always regarded it as a treasure and never leaves his side for a moment, but a few days ago, he accidentally dropped the mirror. ”
"Oh~ this is really a sad story, but what does this have to do with Visa?"
The man sighed again and again: "Originally, it had nothing to do with it, but two days ago, our shopkeeper and the lord drank and drunk, and when they heard about it, they boasted that he could fix it...... Outcome...... As a result, this is a troublesome matter. ”
"Oh~ I see. Magic mirror, interesting, really funny. Rosen laughed, "Thanks, man, I'm leaving, I'll take care of your business next time." ”
"Hey, good go, guest." The guy enthusiastically opened the door for Rosen.
Walking out of the glass shop, Lawson walked more than 20 meters along the path in front of the store, turned into a path, and then waited patiently, and after about 20 minutes, a majestic man in a fur cloak strode over from the mouth of the alley.
Rosen took a step forward and said, "Sir." ”
The man stopped, turned his head and looked at Baron Draco, this baron was very rugged, with a big mouth, thick eyebrows, dark skin, and a strong body like a bear, looking like a medieval version of Zhang Fei.
He looked Rosen up and down and asked strangely, "Who are you?!" ”
According to his memory, Rosen gave a noble salute to the baron: "Rosen. Greetings to Laplace, only son of Sir Laplace. ”
Baron Draco was stunned for a moment before he patted his head and said with a blank expression: "Oh, it's you." I remember you, the last time I saw you, you were five or six years old, and you were still playing in the mud in the yard, haha. ”
He took a closer look at Rosen and said with a smile: "Hmm~ No wonder I think you look familiar, you and your father really look alike, they are both the same handsome, haha." Is your father okay? ”
Rosen's face showed grief: "Sir, my father and mother are no longer there. ”
The baron was stunned: "Huh~ How is it possible?" I saw your father last month, he is in good health, and he told me that you have been studying alchemy for the past year, and he is looking forward to your recovery. ”
"It was a vampire who did it, and a vampire passed by my manor and sucked the blood of everyone in the manor, and the manor was destroyed. Originally, I couldn't have escaped. ”
As he spoke, Lawson ripped open the strip of cloth around his neck, revealing the wound: "But it happened that a stalker passed by and scared away the vampire, and I was able to save my life." It was this stalker who dispelled the vampire poison from my body so that I would not die of poison. ”
Baron Draco sighed and reached out to pat Rosen's shoulder: "Hey~ It's unfortunate. But you can survive, and it is a blessing in misfortune. I still remember the taste of the new wine at Laplace Estate, and I thought about drinking a few more bottles this year, but I didn't expect to have a chance. Hey~ Rosen, my father and I are friends, and I watched you grow up. If you have any difficulty rebuilding the manor, just let me know and I'll do my best to help. ”
Just as Baron Draco raised his hand, his wrist was exposed, and Rosen's eyes were sharp, and he saw several red pimples on his forearm, and he was stunned: "This seems to be ......"
Baron Draco noticed the anomaly in Rosen's vision, and subconsciously withdrew his arm, hiding the red pimples.
Lawson wisely didn't ask, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, sir." ”
Draco nodded, he looked at the sky, and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back." How's it going, do you have a place to live? If not, why don't you go to my house for the night? ”
"Yes, I bought a small yard on the west side of town."
The baron seemed to lose interest in chatting all of a sudden, and his expression became a little perfunctory: "Then I'll rest assured." I still have some things, so I'll leave first, and if you have any questions, just come to me. ”
Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, Lawson hurriedly took a few steps and got to the point: "My lord, I just saw you take out a metal cylinder in the glass shop?" ”
"Hmm~ yes." Baron Draco nodded, it wasn't a big secret that he had obtained the Magic Mirror, and he didn't go out of his way to hide it.
Rosen continued, "I've heard about the magic mirror. Now that you're going to the glass shop again, could it be that the magic mirror is broken and you're looking for Visasius? ”
Baron Draco looked at Rosen again, and after looking at it for a moment, he laughed, "You kid is well-informed. Tell me, what else do you know? ”
If it was a peasant boy who said this to him, he would definitely think that the other party was nosy, but Rosen was the son of Sir Laplace, and although Sir Laplace and he were general friends, they were also friends, so Rosen explored his little secrets, and he didn't care at all, and even admired the other party's mind a little.
Lawson continued: "Your Excellency, ......"
"Don't call me an adult, just call me uncle." The baron waved his hand in a very kind manner.
Rosen naturally didn't want to be hypocritical, and immediately changed his words: "Uncle, I just went to the glass shop to see Visa's craftsmanship, to be honest, I don't think Visa can fix your magic mirror." I guess, the magic mirror he repaired for you has a very confused vision, and you can't see anything clearly, right? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Baron Draco slapped his thigh hard, shook his head and sighed, "yes, that's it. I'll tell you, that guy from Visa, he doesn't have any real skills, he can brag about it, I really want to hang him up and whip him! ”
At this time, Rosen threw out his intentions: "Uncle, you know, I have been studying alchemy. On the magic mirror, I also have some research. ”
When Baron Draco heard this, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh again: "That's right! This magic mirror was given to me by a magician, the magic mirror is broken, I asked a glassmaker to fix a fart, oops~ I'm really old, and my brain is not good. ”
His words made Rosen stunned: "The magician sent it?" ”
"Yes, this magician brought it to me from Berkeley, the city of freedom, and it is said to be the most proud work of the alchemist Parran. It's a pity that I broke it.,Hey~~~ It's a pity.。 The baron shook his head and sighed.
"Then will he repair this magic mirror?"
"If he could cultivate, I wouldn't be so troublesome." The baron looked agitated.
Rosen asked tentatively, "Uncle, is this magician's name Diaz?"
"yes, have you seen him? He lives in Caopo Village now. I'm telling you, Dias is a formal student from Nilogaard
A magician, knowledgeable and powerful. You're learning alchemy right now, maybe he'll be able to point you out. Baron Draco smiled kindly.
Lawson felt a sudden chill in his heart, and forced himself to remain silent: "I've heard of him, but I haven't met, I will make a special trip to visit him when I have time in the future,
Uh~ Uncle, you know that I have been learning alchemy, if you believe me, you can give me the magic mirror. I'll try to fix it for you. ”
"Ah, just talking about Dias, but forgetting the business." As he spoke, the baron handed Rosen a ruby gold ring on his hand, "My magic mirror is in the Visa shop." You go to him with this ring and say I'll let you help. That white fat man will never dare to perfunctory you. ”
Rosen respectfully took the ruby ring: "Uncle, don't worry, soon, you will be able to get a good magic mirror." ”
"Haha, very good, very good, I just like confident young people like you. I promise you that as long as you can repair the magic mirror, I will definitely give you a great reward. Draco clapped his hands in delight, only to slip the clothes on his arm again, revealing the red pimples on his forearm again.
"Hehe~ I was bitten by a poisonous insect a few days ago, and I got this thing as a result, and it was itchy" The baron explained embarrassedly, reached out and scratched it again, and then shrunk his arm to cover the red spots on his skin.
Rosen nodded: "Poisonous insect bites are inevitable, and it will be fine in a few days." Uncle, then I'll go to the glass shop and have a look. ”
