Chapter 256: Scholar
In a slightly dimly lit environment, four burly men sat around the round table, their eyes wandering around as they drank delicious beers, their greedy gazes swept over the hot girls who walked by.
Adventure, booze, and a hot-bodied girl were three of the most popular things of medieval European sailors, and the players here clearly carried on that tradition.
"Vannick, do you have the money to pay for the wine today, beware of being thrown out by the tavern owner again!"
Until a somewhat drunken man suddenly stood up from the wine table, the eyes of the old customers of the tavern suddenly lit up, and there were bursts of coaxing and teasing sounds.
The man was already five or six minutes drunk, he staggered to his feet, pointed to his rosacea, and said, "Am I that kind of person?" Am I the kind of person who would owe money on credit? Uncle Vannick has money. ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of digging his pocket, and after touching for a long time, he finally found a copper coin.
Looking at the copper coin that gave off a strange luster, the players and NPCs present let out a burst of laughter at the same time.
The owner of the tavern looked at Vannick with a blank face, wondering if he wanted to find someone to beat the drunkard again.
Well, get a little farther away and not stain his tavern.
Looking at the empty pockets, Vannick showed a sneer and explained to himself: "I went out in a hurry today, I forgot to bring money, anyway, I am also a regular customer here, this credibility should always be there...... Ouch, there's something to say, don't do it, just by my name Vannick. There will always be people who will pay for my drink. ”
Hearing the other party say this, the tavern owner still had a black face. But it made the two burly thugs Xia take two steps back.
"I, Van Nick, am the whole of Europe, oh. No, he's the most learned man in the whole world, and whoever is willing to pay for my drink will be rewarded for answering any of his questions. At this time, a sober and wise gaze suddenly flashed in Vannick's eyes, and his temperament changed suddenly, if his clothes were not so sloppy, maybe the persuasiveness would be stronger.
"Hey, Vannick, we don't have any rookies here. No one will believe your foolery anymore, so you better put away your set! ”
"You think anyone is as stupid as Fenniel to fall for you twice in a row."
"Bastard, you can't even say that again, whoever says don't blame me for turning my face!" An angry voice rang out, and its owner was obviously that Fenel, and as one of the protagonists of everyone's conversation, it was no glorious thing.
"Let's recap, dear Vannick, how he answered other people's questions. A person asks where is the world's greatest treasure? Answer: Caribbean; Someone asked how to become the best player in the world, and replied: I don't know; How to chase Sarah, the beautiful woman in the tavern next door...... In conclusion, your set is purely deceitful. ”
As soon as the man's words landed, a warm applause suddenly rang out around him. The former was also full of pride, and even glanced at Vannick defiantly, but the latter did not react.
Pick up this scene. The player, who was still a little unclear, suddenly put away his heart and sighed on his face. Now the NPCs are becoming more and more savvy, and the tricks are becoming more and more sophisticated. If you're not careful, you'll be fooled.
In fact, there are indeed many players who have experienced similar things, thinking that it was to trigger a hidden mission, only to find out that it was actually a scam.
"Okay, Vannick, it seems that you can't afford to pay for the drink today, so let me beat me up honestly!"
The tavernkeeper's patience was obviously exhausted, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at the thugs around him, who immediately nodded knowingly, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped forward with a sly smile on his face, like an eagle catching a chicken, one grabbed the other's arm, and walked out.
"Excuse me, is the University Svanic here?" An abrupt voice sounded, and then the door to the tavern was pushed open, and a somewhat reckless yellow-skinned boy walked in, asking a little anxiously.
After a short period of coldness, Vannick seemed to have met a savior, and suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "I am, I, the most knowledgeable person in Europe, Vannick, woo, finally met someone who knows the goods." ”
The person who suddenly broke in was Wang Hao, who stayed in England for a day, spent another half a day on the road, and when he arrived at the port of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, the task left him with only half of the preparation time left.
"Mr. Vannick, I don't know if you're free right now, but I have something I want to ask you for."
Although the current Vanike is a little different from what he remembers, the general appearance is correct, the title of the most learned man in Europe is naturally self-appointed by the other party, but the status of a scholar is systematically recognized, and only the very learned will be awarded this title.
"No problem, absolutely no problem." Fannick hurriedly said, but then he showed a hint of embarrassment, "You see, I just happened to be in a little trouble now, can you lend me 5 gold coins first, well, it's really not good, 3 is fine." ”
Wang Hao looked at the guy in front of him a little speechlessly, wondering for the first time if he had found the wrong person, you must know that in another time and space, Van Nick is known as one of the richest people in the whole world, he charges hundreds to thousands of gold coins for each player who comes to consult according to the degree of difficulty, even if he just sits there and drinks a few cups of coffee every day, he can make money every day, his wealth and his erudition are equally famous.
"5 gold coins, I'll pay it."
It's just 5 gold coins, Wang Hao really didn't take it to heart, even if he was deceived, he wouldn't have any distress.
"Thank you so much, don't worry, wait until ......" After hearing Wang Hao's crisp and crisp words, Fannick couldn't help but feel a little remorseful in his heart, he should have asked for more if he knew it.
"Wait, where did you kid come from, I don't know if this is the territory of our Giant Guild, it's none of your business here, hurry up."
The four burly men drinking at the wine table in the distance couldn't help but change slightly after seeing Wang Hao's appearance, and when a series of things happened later, their faces were completely gloomy.
One of them greeted him with a drunken face, and threatened: "Gringo, this is not a place for you to go wild, I advise you to leave here immediately, otherwise we will never leave the port of Lisbon." ”
"It's you again, it's all you, my business is all ruined, I'm ...... Fight with you. ”
Vannick's emotions are very excited, but he is an extremely partial NPC, with super high knowledge attributes, and his personal martial arts are weak.
Seeing this, Wang Hao had a rough guess about the whole thing, most of the people from the Giant Guild discovered the value of this Vannic, but because the other party was a free NPC, they could not use force to coerce, so they had to use various means to prevent the other party from contacting other players, and then force it to "voluntarily" serve the Giant Guild after there was no way in the end.
"This guy is too unlucky!"
Wang Hao glanced at Fannick with some sympathy, this guy should be enjoying life comfortably now, but he didn't expect to fall into this situation.
"Did I hear from you, no matter where you got the news, this person is going to be decided by our Giant Guild." A big white man stared at the other man viciously.
"It's fun, it's so much fun."
Wang Hao ignored the four gloomy faces on the opposite side, and directly handed over the 5 gold coins to Fannick's hands, showing his attitude with practical actions.
Speaking of which, he also has to thank this group of people, if it weren't for the other party, he wouldn't have easily won Vannick's friendship at such a price that can be called "cabbage price".
System: Congratulations on the change in your relationship with Vannick from cold to friendly.
In comparison, offending a third-rate guild like the Giant Guild that he couldn't name was nothing.
However, Wang Hao also miscalculated one day, there is no position of the Giant Guild in his memory, but it does not mean that the strength of the Giant Guild is very weak, on the contrary, the strength of the Giant Guild can be ranked in the top three in the whole of Portugal at this moment.
As one of the five traditional naval powers in Europe, Portugal has a natural geographical advantage, and its strength is naturally not bad, and the Giant Guild can rank among the top three, and its strength will not be much worse than those old large guilds.
It's just that for some special reasons, this guild has declined too quickly, so Wang Hao doesn't know-
