Chapter 14: The Undercurrent is Turbulent
After becoming a bodyguard, Davy gave Rollin a day off so he could organize his chores.
Rollin put on a new dark red studded leather armor, carried his leather wooden shield, and strapped a short steel sword to his waist, and went out fully armed.
Now, he can be regarded as a warrior, with a complete set of swords and shields, and an integrated attack and defense.
After coming out of the villa, he went to Horn first, intending to return the iron sword to him.
When he found Horn, he was walking around the docks looking for work, but apparently he hadn't found an employer yet, so he seemed to have nothing to do, and he was lazy and a little unmotivated.
"Hey, Horn." Rollin waved hello.
Horn turned his head and saw Rollin, in his eyes, Rollin had changed greatly at this time, perhaps because of the armor, he didn't look thin anymore, he was even taller, and the whole person stood there straight, heroic and vibrant, like a raging flame, full of indescribable vitality.
In this gray dock, in a crowd of dock workers whose faces were tired and numb, he truly stood out from the crowd.
For a moment, Horn felt jealousy, yes, because the other party got what he had always wanted, and he was still bored and lifeless on the docks.
But this love was only left for a moment and was completely driven out of his mind, they were friends, like-minded, Luo Lin was just one step ahead of him, he would catch up.
A smile appeared on his face, and he waved in greeting: "Haha, Rollin, my friend, it seems that your actions are going well." β
Luo Lin also laughed: "Yes, a qiΔshun lΓ¬, speaking of which, thanks to your sword, it really helped me a lot!" β
Rollin handed the iron sword back, sincerely thanking.
"I'm glad I can help you, my friend." Horn felt good, from Rollin's demeanor and words, he didn't feel any contempt, and the other party didn't look down on him for his success, which made him feel that this friend was really worth befriending.
"Let's go, it's almost noon, let's go have a drink." Rollin smiled, seeing the hesitation on Horn's face, knowing that he was unwilling to take advantage of himself, he immediately said: "Miss Davi rewarded me with a sum of money, and without your help, I would not have gotten this bounty." β
"Okay then." Horn laughed, he clearly felt Rollin's kindness, this is an attentive friend.
The two still chose the restaurant last time, but instead of eating in the lobby, they settled in a private room on the second floor.
When passing through the lobby, many people who knew Luo Lin were very surprised to see his dress, and they could easily see that Luo Lin was wearing expensive equipment.
"Hey, Rollin, are you Dala?"
"Rollin, tell me quickly, which noble person have you taken a fancy to?"
Rollin laughed, he didn't want to make a special announcement about becoming a mage's guard, so he said to the maid at the bar, Trini, "Like last time, everyone in the lobby has a glass of ale, I'll please." β
As soon as they heard that there was free wine, the rough people in the lobby forgot to ask, and whistled one by one, very happy.
Horn didn't understand Rollin's actions, and whispered: "Rollin, they are as numb as stones, why waste money?" β
Luo Lin smiled and explained: "Maybe there is a gem among these stones?" Even if there isn't one here, my story will be passed on through their mouths, and eventually it will be known by the gems, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to make more like-minded friends, won't we? β
Horn was stunned for a moment, then nodded, he felt that Rollin was very broad-minded, and he himself seemed to be petty, which he had to correct.
When they arrived at the private room, the two of them were still drinking and eating meat in large gulps, and only when they were happy to eat and drink, did their movements slow down.
Rollin asked, "Horn, I have a building." β
"Well, you say." Horn looked serious, he now admired Rollin very much, and took his words very seriously.
"I think you need formal martial arts training, and if you only rely on a young and strong body to fight like now, even if you are lucky enough to get a promotion, your future development will be hindered." Rollin is to the point.
He knew that Horn now would only have some street fighting techniques, although there were swords and daggers, but daggers were only used to cut meat and eat, and swords were only used as machetes. In a real battle, this is not at all on the table.
Horn's face was gloomy, he knew that Rollin was right, but the problem was that whether it was going to VendΓ΄me's martial arts gym or finding a mentor, it would take money, which was his biggest obstacle.
Rollin also knew this, he had already thought about it, and took out his money bag, which contained a total of more than eighty silver coins, some of which were given by Dai Wei, and the other part was from the unlucky assassin he had killed. He counted twenty-five coins from his purse, and the remaining fifty-odd ones were all on the table.
"What are you? Where did you get all this money? Horn was shocked, so many silver coins were put together, such a large sum of money, he had seen it for the first time.
"For you, the tuition fee for the martial arts hall. I found this money on the corpse of an adventurer in the wetlands, so you don't have to worry. Rollin laughed.
"But ......" Horn felt his throat a little clogged and couldn't speak.
"These are things outside of the body, and in my opinion, they are not worth mentioning compared to friendship." Rollin smiled sincerely.
These words made Horn stunned, and after a long time, he let out a sigh of relief, took the money bag on the table, took out the silver coins and counted them, and after counting them clearly, he said: "Fifty-six, and I have saved eleven for myself, which is enough for tuition." I will lend you this money, and I will pay it back. β
"Okay, I'll wait. Come on, let's not mention this, let's continue drinking. Rollin raised his glass and invited.
"Hmm." Horn also picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, after putting down the glass, Luo Lin's eyes were a little red, maybe he saw Luo Lin Jue, Horn laughed at himself: "Choked on the wine, hehe." β
After the meal was over, Horn was in a hurry to go to the martial arts hall, he had already looked at the place, and he was short of money. Rollin walked to Malfoy's lodgings in the Old Town.
In the old town, Malfoy's residence is quite good, there is a big courtyard, the yard is full of people, there are ruffians, there are borrowers, there are debts, there are debts, it is very lively, you can often see conflicts, basically the ruffians are beating up the unlucky guys who can't pay their debts and come to plead for a postponement.
When Rollin arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw the little ruffian who was about to rob him of his money a few days ago, but he stabbed him with a dagger.
He was walking out of the courtyard, and when he saw that it was Luo Lin, he instinctively shrank his body, and then felt that he was in the base camp, and when he had confidence, he straightened his chest again and glared at Luo Lin viciously: "You still dare to come?" You're dead! β
Rollin didn't bother to talk to him, just put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the guy shuddered and immediately walked away. He knew very well how powerful his opponent was, and Malfoy wouldn't give him a head start for this kind of, he went to grab money, he was beaten, he deserved it, and for this, he has been laughed at by his ruffians 'colleagues' for the past few days.
When Rollin entered the courtyard, he saw Malfoy, dressed in light gray leather armor, standing on the steps of the doorway of the room with his hands crossed on his hips, teaching a ruffian like a son.
He also saw Luo Lin, and at first sneered slightly, but when he saw the armor and weapons on his body, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes. He hid these changes in expression well, but he didn't hide them from Rollin.
"Probably I beat his men, and he was upset." Rollin thought to himself.
Malfoy spoke first, and he walked over, looking very happy, and said happily: "Ah, Rollin, are you rich?" Are you here to pay it back? β
"I'm now Master Davi's bodyguard. I took the time to come here. Rollin said, this bit of news can't be hidden from someone as shrewd as Malfoy, so he said it bluntly.
"Mage guards? Dai Wei? Oh, that's great news. Then pay it back, twenty silver coins, one not less. β
Rollin nodded, he didn't want to deal with this gloomy person more, took out the silver coin and handed it over, asked for the debt deed, and after confirming that it was correct, he tore the thing to pieces.
Zhi Brain immediately reported the information:
"Mission, complete to pay off Malfoy's usury, gain experience 15o."
"Current experience is 16o/3oo."
It's not bad, according to the principle of Zhi Naobu, with two more tasks, he will be able to rise to level four, which is quite fast. Of course, Rollin knows that it is only in the early stage, and it will be more and more difficult in the later stage.
He didn't want to stay in this dark place for long, and after paying back the money, he turned around and left.
Malfoy had been standing in the courtyard, and when Rollin's back had disappeared, he immediately returned to his room, where a man who had hidden himself in the dark stood silently.
"Emissary, things are not going well. I just saw him, and he turned out to be Vianna's man. Vianna's apprentice is investigating the Goblin Camp, and I'm afraid he's got the location of the Goblin Camp now. β
The dark shadow was silent for a moment, and then a hoarse voice came out: "I already know about it. The shadows we had planted in advance intercepted the message that Davi had sent to Vianna. What you have to do is kill the little girl who plays with fire and the nosy kid before the shadows are exposed! Let the fog of death obscure a qiΔ! β
ββ¦β¦ When to get your hands on? β
"The sooner the better, tonight!"
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
