Chapter 26 The Economic Crisis
Seeing that the bearded guard was about to open the car door, Lawson twisted his body, jumped out of the carriage, and took one step, just in front of the bearded man.
The road ahead was blocked, and the bearded hand subconsciously put the handle of the knife on his waist, and his face showed a vigilant look: "What are you doing?" Get out of the way! ”
Rosen had a thrill in his heart, knowing that now was not the time to joke, if he didn't get it right, he might have to be slashed by this beard, he hurriedly raised his hands in front of him, and said slowly: "Uncle, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's me." ”
His body is only 14 years old, he has just begun to develop, and he has always been a rich boy, with a white and tender face, thin and small, and he doesn't look threatening at all.
The beard relaxed slightly, and his tense body relaxed.
"Who are you, give your name."
Lawson said, "Uncle, my name is Lawson. Laplace, son of Sir Laplace. ”
"Sir Laplace's son?" The bearded man looked Rosen up and down, and pointed at Anne, "How could Jazz's son get mixed up with that freak?" ”
Rosen didn't explain, he stretched out his finger and activated the power of alchemy, and a whistling wind suddenly appeared on his fingertips: "Uncle, you must know that Sir's son is learning alchemy, right?" Look, this is my alchemy. ”
The supernatural magic power has a great shocking effect on ordinary people, and the wind is loud, and the bearded man and the guard next to him all show a look of awe on their faces, and they believe Rosen's words at once.
When Rosen saw that it was good, he quickly touched his hand into his pocket, took out a handful of silver runte, about a dozen pieces, quietly handed it to the bearded guard, and explained in a low voice: "Uncle, let me tell you the truth, there are not only stinky pickled fish in the car, but also my aunt and her daughter." My cousin, really pitiful, only five years old, timid and easily frightened, last night, she started a high fever again, and vomited and diarrhea at the sight of the wind. If you don't believe me, I'll call her out there? ”
Yin Langte is infinitely powerful, and the bearded tough attitude softened at once, he looked left and right, and saw that no one around was paying attention to this side, and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "Little master, it's not that I deliberately want to embarrass you, it's really been very unpeaceful outside recently." The lord told us to strictly check the carriages entering the town, so as not to be infiltrated into the city by thieves. Why don't you open a small window and let me take a look? ”
"Understand, understand, of course, no problem." With a smile on his face, Rosen knocked on the carriage door and shouted, "Auntie, is my cousin okay now?" Can you see the wind? ”
Sister Mary was not stupid, and replied in a choked voice: "It's not good, people are groggy, and their foreheads are hot, so we have to hurry into the town to find Dr. Marison." ”
Little Alice is a big ghost and very cooperative, she shouted vaguely: "Brother ~ Mom ~ I'm uncomfortable ~"
Rosen suddenly looked embarrassed: "Uncle, look, it's so windy today......
The voices of the woman and the child, the bearded man heard it very clearly, and his vigilance suddenly let go of more than half of it, and now there was the name of Sir Laplace as a guarantor, and he touched the Runte in his hand, there were about a dozen, which could cost him several months, and finally, he waved his hand and let go of his body: "Since there are patients in the carriage who can't see the wind, then forget it, but don't make an example." Let's go inside. ”
"Hey, thank you, uncle." Lawson staggered back to the front seat of the carriage.
Anne hurriedly shook the reins, and the carriage gurgled into the town of Sunderland, and after entering the town, the carriage first traveled along the main street for more than 200 meters, then turned right into an alley, and after walking along the alley for more than 150 meters, it finally drove into a small courtyard with a courtyard wall more than 2 meters high.
After entering the courtyard, Anne jumped out of the carriage and closed the courtyard door, and then opened the canopy of the carriage: "Get out of the carriage and follow me." ”
Miss Mary was so nervous that she hesitantly stepped out of the carriage, and Rosen walked over and picked up little Alice from the carriage as well.
Anne walked to the door on the left side of the courtyard, opened it, and beckoned, "Quick, come this way." ”
The three of them walked over, and when they entered the house one by one, Anne immediately closed the door and lit the candles, and she still walked in the front, explaining as she went: "The former owner of this courtyard was very fond of drinking, and had dug a large wine cellar. The entrance to the cellar is very private, and although the light inside is a little darker, it is well ventilated. I have already made two beds in it, and you will stay in the cellar for the time being, and try not to go out of your room during the day, let alone out of the yard. When I eat, I bring food in, understand? ”
"yes, got it." Mary knew very well that if she walked out of the courtyard now, if she was discovered by the guards, she would definitely be killed on the spot as a ghoul, and even the body would be burned to ashes.
The four of them walked into the wine cellar, Lawson took a look, and found that the wine cellar was indeed very spacious, more than 3 meters high, with an area of more than 30 square meters, and a specially set exhaust pipe, so that there was no feeling of stuffiness after staying for a long time. It's late autumn now, and it's quite warm to stay in the underground cellar.
In the cellar, there are two thick and clean fur beds on the ground, a wooden toilet in the corner, and a large water tank filled with clean water on the other side, all kinds of daily necessities are available, and Anne is very thoughtful in preparation.
Seeing that Mary's mother and daughter were a little nervous, Rosen comforted: "Sister Mary, you can live here in peace, and in the next few days, I will look for a medicine to treat you." I promise that I will do my best to cure little Alice and you. ”
Mary nodded vigorously.
After settling Mother and Daughter Mary, Rosen left the bag of meatloaf behind, and then walked out of the cellar with Anne.
On the way, Rosen had already thought of a specific plan, and he first asked, "Annie, how much money do we have left?" ”
"There are less than 400 rums left, mainly houses. I couldn't find a rent for a while, so I spent more than 1,400 yuan to buy one directly. Anne was a little embarrassed. Originally, she could have saved more money, but she had always been worried about Rosen's safety, and in order to hurry, when she bought carriages and weapons and equipment, she didn't bargain for anything, she just took it and left.
These are all big money consumers, and the money will naturally flow away like water.
This matter was expected by Lawson, he thought about it in his heart, and comforted: "Don't worry, the money should be enough for the time being, well~ If I have the opportunity, I will find a way to earn some." ”
Anne became more and more guilty: "Why don't I go find a few commissions to hunt monsters now?" ”
Lawson denied it without thinking about it: "No, for no reason, where can I find monsters." Besides, how can monsters be so easy to kill? Moreover, to save Mother Mary and her daughter, I can't do it alone without your help. ”
"What then? If this continues, the money will be spent quickly. "Anne used to think that she was very good at spending money, and she couldn't make ends meet with potions, weapons, and armor. Originally, she thought that there were 3,000 runtes, which should be used for a long time, but in less than a day, she spent more than 2,000 runtes. The speed at which she spent money was something she couldn't have imagined before.
"Don't worry, I have a way to make money." Rosen laughed, with alchemy to rely on, he had a thousand ways to make money in his head, and for him, money was not a problem at all.
"Okay, time is tight, let's take each of our own money now, and then go our separate ways."
"That's all it can be." Anne was helpless.
The two of them did not delay for a moment, took 100 rounds each, and set off to go their separate ways.
The town is small, the layout is almost exactly the same as in the game, and what Rosen needs most now is a basic set of alchemy equipment, which he needs to prepare some weapons and purify medicine for Mary's mother and daughter.
In the game, to create such an alchemy device, two materials are needed, one is glass, and the other is brass.
Because the glass shop was closer to the residence, Lawson rushed to the glass shop first.
In these days, glass is an expensive luxury, only the very wealthy people use it, and it usually has two uses, one is to make containers such as cups, and the other is to make various accessories.
There are a lot of glass samples at the door of this glass shop, most of them are wine glasses, the design is very good, but the glass manufacturing process is not on the table, the glass lines are crooked, there is almost no neatness, the color of the glass is generally green, and it is also filled with a lot of small bubbles, if you look closely, you can also see a lot of black impurities.
"It's a bad quality." Lawson was disdainful of the craftsmanship of the glass shop.
However, he just needs some glass containers, and the quality requirements are not very high, and this glass shop probably has finished products.
Thinking so, Lawson raised his feet to enter the glass shop, but at this moment, he was suddenly hit on the shoulder, and a middle-aged man with a thick bear-like figure in a good fur coat and cloak walked past him angrily, pushed open the wooden door of the glass shop, and strode in.
As soon as he entered the store, a rough roar came out: "Visa, get out of here!" ”
Rosen was stunned when he heard this: 'Visa, it seems to be the name of the glass shop owner, it looks like he is in trouble?' ’
