Chapter 024: Tuhao, Shall We Be Friends?
Grant knew very well that he didn't know the girl in front of him, so he could only know Hedein. And from Heidein's personality and the love between Ivy, it can also be judged that there is no romantic relationship between the two, so it can only be a friend.
He stood in front of the white picket fence door, pushed his hand to open the door, stood next to him and said with a smile: "What are you looking for Hedein?" ”
"You are?" Monica raised her head and looked at the man in front of her suspiciously, two shallow crystal tears were vaguely left on her fair and beautiful face, and her eyes were also red, a little red and swollen.
She doesn't remember her brother knowing such a person? Of course, there has been no specific contact for a few months, and it is likely that they are good friends who have met in the past few months, otherwise they would not have let him live here.
Monica cleared her choked throat and spoke in a calm tone, "Can you call Hedein?" I'm his cousin Monica, and I'm going to come to him for help this time. When he said to help, his tone couldn't help but tremble and hesitate for a while.
This subtle demeanor is almost impossible to detect when you look at ordinary people, but unfortunately Grant still noticed it with sharp eyes, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly returned to the appearance of ordinary people, and smiled: "He is not at home for the time being, and it will probably take three days before he can return to the manor, how about it?" You should have something very important. If you feel that time is too rushed, I can spare my hand to help you, after all, I have a good relationship with Heideyn. ”
Grant heard that the girl in front of him was related to Hedeyn, and she was still a good girl, so she could help if she could. Anyway, it won't waste too much time.
"No, no. I really don't need to. Monica shook her hand in disappointment, her head shaking like a wave drum. The deep disappointment in his eyes made his eyes redden, and crystal tears swirled in his eyes. It looks like you're going to cry at any moment.
Monica knew that Hedin was already desperate when he was not at home, as for the man who looked good in front of him, whether he was telling the truth or not, at least he lived in his cousin's house, and his family background must not be too good, so it didn't affect others to tell him.
"Hehe, you say, if you borrow money, I think I can lend you a lot, and I happen to have a few hundred gold coins on hand." Grant said with a smile.
He had just sensed the mental fluctuations around Monica. I already know which one it is.
"How do you know? I didn't say, are you in league with them? But you live in your cousin's house. ”
Monica felt that her brain cells were a little insufficient, and the tearful mother-in-law looked at the flaxen long-haired man in front of her.
Grant smiled and said, "Just look at the way you look and know what you're thinking?" ”
"You should tell me exactly what you borrowed money and why, since you and Heideyn are friends, you can rest assured that I will definitely be able to help you. At least I can help you overcome the obstacles you can encounter in this kingdom. ”
"That's not necessary, but are you really capable? You don't need to brace hard, you have to suffer that way. ”
“……”
Grant's head was black in the air. Slightly speechless, he looked at Monica in front of him. He shook slightly, and out of thin air a money bag filled with hundreds of gold coins appeared, and the crisp crash sound pierced through the silent street.
He ripped open the red money that tied the money bag and randomly took out a quarter fist-sized piece from it. A gold coin engraved with an alchemist's magic array totem was engraved on it, and an indescribable smell could be faintly smelled on the surface.
This kind of Alchemist Kingdom gold coin is not quite the same as that of the previous Glory Empire, at least in terms of workmanship. And it also blesses the unique mark that belongs only to alchemists.
There are a number of private gold mines in the kingdom, and it stands to reason that they have the ability to produce this kind of gold coin. However, a unique mark needs to reach a certain level before it can be made.
Grant can't make it for the time being, but as long as he sees that part of the information, he can even touch it a little more. It is possible to use analysis to deduce the process of a unique imprint.
Monica looked at the glittering, blinding gold coin, her throat squirming uncontrollably, and her little heart kept making a plopping sound. She had never seen so many gold coins, and her mind was a little confused for a while.
Rushing......
Grant smiled evilly and shook the money bag again, looking cheap, walked to Monica's side and leaned over to her earlobe, and whispered: "You can rest assured, I am a local tyrant, and it is not difficult to help you repay the money." Do you feel uneasy, I will go to Hedin to ask for money at that time, so you should rest assured and satisfied. ”
Grant thought of the words that had been rumored before the Earth Federation began, local tyrants, let's be friends, right?
This phrase was far-reaching and ironic at the time, and was recorded in textbooks a decade later to satirize the ultra-capitalist classes.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true enough, don't you believe the words of the local tyrant?"
"That's fine, but don't get me wrong, I'm really in a hurry." Monica bit her lower lip with her white teeth and spoke with a look of decision.
"Speak slowly, I'll listen here."
"It came to pass that my mother suddenly got a strange illness that needed a lot of money to treat her. It was at that time that two people who claimed to be from the Healing Society came and said that they could lend me a certain amount of money and pay no interest, but the gold coins needed to be repaid. I didn't think this was a liar, so I made an agreement with them, and I would come to me three days later and ask for the gold back, and I said I didn't, and they asked me to accompany an alchemist. ”
"At that time, I had no choice, so I told them to let me think about it for a while, and as long as I thought about it, I would definitely reply to them."
"According to you, this series of events should be led by the alchemist. I think they deliberately tried to lure you into sleeping with the man. ”
"You can say that, but can you please stop using those two words, it sounds so vulgar." Monica blushed and shook her head in retort.
"It's vulgar, isn't that what people mean?" Grant pursed his lips, thinking it wasn't a big deal.
"Forget it, let's just say it. I had planned to borrow twenty gold coins from Hedin to repay them, but in Smokescreen, as long as I don't owe anything to them, they won't force me on me. ”
Grant didn't need to refute too much when she heard Monica's words, it is true that as she said, the legal perfection of the Alchemist Kingdom is much stronger than that of the Glory Empire, and even if there is, this kind of thing is relatively rare.
"I see, then I'll go with you to see it." Grant Road.
"Thank you so much, sir, can you tell me your name?" Monica asked gratefully.
"My name is Grant."
"Grant? Very nice name. Monica muttered repeatedly, looking up and smiling.
"Before I go to your house, I'll change my robe." Grant said hello and asked Monica to wait in front of the lawn for the time being.
He went up to the attic and took out an ordinary hunting suit from the reserve ring at random, and at the same time straightened his hair a little, and the whole person looked very fresh and full of elegance.
Luckily, the style of clothes here is not much different from the eastern region and the nightmare frontier in general, especially in some cases, it is very similar to the eastern region.
He walked slowly downstairs, and when he walked out the door to the gray path, it also looked like Monica's little heart was thumping, a bit of a deer.
Monica had a great impression of Grant because of what happened just now, not to mention that the other party is looking very good now, like in a fairy tale, a down-and-out girl met her Prince Charming, and the two fell in love with each other and lived a shameless life together.
"You've been waiting a long time." Grant blinked his eyes and pretended to be exaggerated.
"No, absolutely not, I just reacted for a while, and you got dressed and ran down."
"Well, it looks like I've gotten to the point of being jealous of my changing clothes." Grant looked like a master lonely.
His series of words also caused Monica to laugh, and at the same time she became more and more interested in Grant.
They turned and walked down the gray path, all the way ahead, and just as they opened the door, four well-dressed men and women entered the corner of the fence gate.
"Grant?"
"You're out?"
"Who's that little girl next to you?"
Master Ku, Ha Ming, and Rose were smiling and chatting with each other, and when they opened the door and saw Grant dressed handsomely and walking with the very beautiful girl next to him, the doubts in their hearts were like a machine gun, which was continuously swept on Grant.
Monica noticed the manor they had entered, and that she and Grant had known each other, and thought it must be some other friend of Heedin. He hurriedly bowed to them and smiled kindly, "Hello, I'm Monica, Heidein's cousin. I had something to visit today, and I'm sorry to see you forgetting to say hello. ”
Seeing such an interesting and polite girl, Master Ku smiled very happily with an old face, touched Monnie's head, and said with a smile: "You are really a very sensible girl, and there are really fewer and fewer people like you." You and Grant are going to play, well, and by the way, you can solve your problems. ”
He didn't think that Monica's trouble was a problem in Grant's eyes, and there was definitely nothing to do this time, and most of the rest of the time was to play.
And he already suspected that Grant was going to soak that girl, otherwise why would he be so kind?
"You guys go get some rest first, I'll go out first." Grant said hello to them and told Monica to leave with him.
When they disappeared into Obel Street, the four people in the manor couldn't help but vomit.
"This Grant is really comfortable, and she has such a beautiful girl."
"People are young, and they have enough talent, you can't compare."
"Nonsense, my talent is not bad."
"Don't talk about it, let's go back and rest for a while, and remember to find some materials to study in the afternoon."
"That's right, the era of focusing on girls has long passed on me."
They walked into the manor and walked down the road into the attic. (To be continued......)
