Chapter 7: Bristol, the City of Wealth

"Don't fight anymore, or I'll fight back, oops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "As soon as the beggar said a cruel word, he was kicked in the stomach by Miss Tina and became a prawn.

"Okay, don't fight, you can tell me what to do!" Ax stopped Tina, who was about to kick a few more times, and said to the beggar who was curled up in a ball.

"Don't worry, I will pay back today's account twice." The beggar clutched his stomach and said in surrender.

"What? You still want to beat me up? Repay it twice, believe it or not, I'll let you return to the starry sky today and go to chat with the star spirits. Aix said with two more kicks.

"Wait, I didn't mean that, I mean double the money I borrowed today, no, ten, how about ten times?" The beggar seemed to be frightened by the two of them, and immediately multiplied his debt fivefold.

"Well, who told me that this person is always so merciful, since you have said a hundred times the return, then I will believe you once." Aix said with a look of compassion.

"What? A hundredfold, you're too dark! ā€

"It seems that the donor disagrees!"

"Agreed, who said that I don't agree with him in a hurry, you are so kind, a hundred times more deserved."

"Okay, that's a deal." Ax didn't have much to do, he had to pay for it himself, looking at the amount of the meal, he really regretted ordering a few more dishes, but he still had to pay what he should pay, and after handing over the money to the shopkeeper, Ax returned to the table again, and after the shopkeeper got the money for the meal, he stopped staring at them.

Due to the lack of evidence, Aix forced the other party to sign and draw a pledge, and finally felt that it was not safe, and asked the other party to bite his finger and press a bloody handprint to finish. At the time of the conclusion of the agreement, Aix also knew the name of the other party, Odom, who claimed to be the first in line to the throne of the Wright family, but Ax didn't believe it very much, and only thought that the other party was a wealthy merchant.

Due to the debt, Ax and Tina can only go on the road with Odom, anyway, the three of them go in the same direction, and because it will be dangerous to walk with Odom, Aix has appointed himself as a bodyguard, and he is called the eldest young master of the Wright family in the name of protecting this Wright family, of course, the protection fee is a lot, and it is also counted as a hundred times the return. And Odom seems to have the mentality that there are too many lice and no worries about debts, so he agreed without much hesitation.

In the end, Aix suggested that in order to protect the safety of Master Odom, the three of them should put on makeup and go on the road, so Ax and Tina pretended to be the young master and miss, and Odom pretended to be a slave to hide people's eyes. As a result, Odom not only did not enjoy the treatment of his employer along the way, but also served the two of them, which was simply squeezing the last bit of surplus value.

In the end, the kind Miss Tina felt guilty, and Odom's situation improved, and at last he did not have to sleep in Ma Peng at night, but moved to the corridor, at least to shelter from the wind and rain.

This journey is completely hell for Odom, and he has not suffered so much since he was a child, but fortunately, there is really nothing to do along the way, and no killer has trouble him. Is it really a camouflage that works? In the end, even he was a little skeptical.

The city of wealth, Bristol is close to the Guardian Sea, it is a port city, but also a city of wealth, 30% of Noxus's maritime trade goods pass through here, but if it is only like this, it cannot bear the name of wealth at all, and this can become the indisputable city of wealth because more than 80% of Noxus's smuggling trade is carried out here, which is simply the sister city of Birgewater. Legend has it that this was a city built by pirates and smugglers, and then it was added to Noxus due to the rise of Noxus and became a commercial city of Noxus, but it still retains its original character, and even the High Command acquiesces in the special status of the city. So, the mix of ichthylphonosaurs here is also famous throughout Noxus.

The place where Odom brought Aix and Tina is Bristol, the city of wealth, and the Wright family, where Odom claims to belong, is one of the local forces in this city of wealth.

This was the first time Aix had entered such a big city, and after crossing the moat and entering the city gate, Aix felt that it was the intersection of multiple planes and planes. The streets here are lined with modern cars, English medieval horse-drawn carriages, and knights on quirky mounts. It made Aix think that these people were all people who had traveled from different planes and planes.

Coming here, Odom felt like he was home, but maybe this was really his home, where he grew up and lived, of course, if what he said was true.

Odom skillfully stopped a carriage, and was accustomed to opening the door to let Ax and Tina into the carriage, but he thought that he had returned to Bristol, which was his own territory, and there was no need to pretend to be a servant. So, without waiting for Ax and Tina to get into the car, he got in first.

Aix didn't say anything when he saw Odom's performance, and after Tina entered, he followed him into the carriage.

"We have already entered the city, since you said that you are the eldest young master here, then pay back the money quickly, you don't have to think about repaying the debt, otherwise I will let the reputation of not paying your debts spread throughout the Valoran Continent." After sitting down, Aix said directly to Odom threateningly.

"Don't worry, I don't care about that little money, as long as I get home, I'll give it to you right away." Odom said with disdain, thinking that he was also the eldest young master of the Wright family, and he was looked down upon, thinking that he was not worthy of his few gold coins. However, thinking of the previous pursuit, Odom couldn't help frowning, because he hadn't figured out who was going to kill him until now, his uncles and uncles were likely, and it was possible for several other families in Bristol, and what he had to do was to find out the mastermind behind it, and he hadn't been in the habit of swallowing it in his stomach after being knocked out of his teeth.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't speak all the way, and the sound outside the carriage gradually disappeared, Aix stretched out his head to take a look, this is simply the outskirts of the city, surrounded by some grass, and occasionally you can see a few castles, you know, this is a city, but there is such an open space, so the people who live here are definitely not rich or expensive. At this time, Aix had fully believed Odom's words, this must be the eldest young master of a big family, as for whether it was the Wright family in his mouth, it was not certain.

The carriage in which the three men were riding stopped in front of a castle, and Aix was startled when he saw the behemoth in front of him, which was backed by the sea, and behind the castle was a large beach, which was undoubtedly a private beach without any tourists.

"Welcome to Bauhinia Castle, reintroduced, under Odom Bryant."

"Oh!" Aix simply let out a simple sigh without any surprise, and then walked towards the castle, without any curiosity or surprise about Odom's surname.

"Oh? Aren't you surprised at all? Odom obviously didn't expect Aix's bland reaction, he was going to surprise Aix, but now he was taken aback.

"Where are we going to get in?" Tina was obviously not surprised, the little girl was clearly more interested in the beautiful castle than Odom's surname.

"Alright, come with me!" Odom completely gave up his intention to show off, and honestly led the way in front, leading Ax and Tina towards the castle. And without Odom's leadership, Aix and Tina would never dare to break into it alone, this seemingly wallless castle is definitely no less defensive than those walls, this seemingly calm meadow, there are not necessarily deadly traps anywhere, these traps constitute an invisible wall, and it is stronger.

Aix and Tina followed Odom, admiring the surroundings as they walked. It's just that Odom was still very concerned about Aix and Tina's reaction, and finally couldn't help asking, "Why aren't you surprised by my surname?" Did you already know that my last name was fake? ā€

"Of course, the first time we met you, you were on the run, and the second time we met, although you had already gotten rid of the killer, but since we already know your details, of course you can't trust us, so of course you won't tell us your true identity, so, Aix said that your surname must be fake." Seeing that Odom was concerned, Tina finally stopped his appetite and gave the answer.

"As for the name, you don't seem to be curious about my name, but I really am called Odom." Still confused, Odom continued to ask.

"At that time, because there was no need, here, a person's identity was mainly determined by his surname, and you were mainly trying to hide your identity, so it would be a bit redundant to change your name. Because a person is called by name most of the time, the most sensitive words of a person are their own name. If the other person is not clear about what you are saying, you may not understand the rest of the content, but you will definitely pay attention when the other person says your name. So, if you change your name, there will always be a pause in the process of thinking when someone else calls you, maybe once or twice will not arouse suspicion, but more often it will make people suspicious. Of course, if you have another name that you are used to, it is a different matter, but this should be rare, and if there is, it is just the name of some parents who called them when they were young, and this name is generally not casually reported. Aix explained directly.

"So that's the case, no wonder when the experience is introduced in the book, it is only recommended to change the surname and not the first name, it turns out that there is still this reason." Odom said thoughtfully.

"Don't you see, are you pretty smart?" Odom said in admiration.

"Of course, for the sake of you being so humble in asking for advice, I will charge you less for the explanation fee, and you can remember to pay for it in a while." Ax looked like a shrewd businessman, and if he had an abacus in front of him, he would probably have crackled at this time.
