Chapter 7: Messing with the Wrong Person
The village of Raels is more than a hundred kilometers away from the royal city of Daplo. On the first day of January, Raels and Wright bid farewell to Uncle Shiru and Aunt Mety early in the morning, and rushed to the royal city of Dapro under their great instructions.
After more than a day of traveling, the two finally arrived at the city of Dapro at noon the next day.
The royal city of Dapro, located in the center of the Asian continent, slightly close to the boundary between the Kingdom of Rhodeland and the Hughes Empire, is a large city with a long history on the Asian continent.
After centuries of development, it has become a large cultural and commercial center with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers and a population of more than 5 million.
The urban plan is in the shape of flowers, and the central imperial city is surrounded by east, west, south, and north. The avenue was wide enough for a dozen knights to walk side by side.
The streets are full of traffic and pedestrians, and it is a scene of prosperity.
Passing through the middle of the city, Raels and Wright followed a number of nobles to the gates of the Twin Stars Academy, where they were about to enroll.
At the entrance of the college, people come and go, in addition to the nobles in gorgeous costumes, there are more carriages for the nobles.
The nobles who walked towards the academy were full of glory, and they looked like they were holding their heads up. Behind them, most of them were followed by servants who helped them carry their luggage.
The tutors of the academy also stood in the hall facing the entrance of the academy, greeting every student who entered the academy with a smile.
Raels and Wright, dressed in coarse cloth and particularly gray in color, stood out in the ranks of the nobles. From a distance, the two of them looked like beggars begging along the street.
"It is said that the Twin Star Academy is an aristocratic school, how can even this kind of beggar be put in. β
A noble man wearing a golden plaid dress and holding a white paper fan, who looked graceful but had a pair of cross-eyed eyes, glanced at the two of them with disdain.
"Where are the beggars?"
Wright, who was following Raels, turned his little head, looking back and forth at the novelty, as if he didn't know that the cross-eyed man was talking about him, and as soon as the cross-eyed man's voice fell, he also turned his head to look around, and found that there was no one around, so he glanced at Raels.
"He's talking about us. Raels gave him a blank look and said they were beggar men and replied to Wright.
"Yo yo, you say you're beggars, you're still not convinced?" The cross-eyed man kept staring at Raels and Wright, wanting to see if the two of them were embarrassed to stay here under his own scolding. Not wanting to be glared at by Raels, he suddenly felt unhappy, pinched his waist, waved his hand to the servant behind him, and said, "Give me a beating up, this is a reward for you." β
"Young Master Xie. The servant who received the reward was extremely excited, and he was able to beat people and receive money at the same time, which was definitely a good thing that was rare in a hundred years. Anyway, the other side is dressed so old-fashioned, and he fights to the death, what can the other party do?
The servant who packed the bounty money, with a little smugness on the corner of his mouth, swaggered towards Raels and them, and sneered as he walked: "Stinky beggar, this kind of place, can you also come? β
The servant who came to Raels and Wright deliberately straightened his chest and clenched his palms, making a crackling sound. Beat people, I haven't beaten anyone, I haven't seen others beat people, anyway, these two guys are beggars, and hitting them won't cause unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, the servant raised his fist and was about to hit Raels in the face, but at the moment when he shook his fist, Raels's inquiry suddenly sounded in his ears, "You keep saying that we are beggars, so what do you mean is that we are not as rich as you?"
"Of course. The servant put away his fist, which was about to be drawn, and said solemnly, "If you two were richer than me, you would dress like this?" As he spoke, the servant touched his brighter clothes.
"In that case, let's make a bet. Raels was not in a hurry to argue with the other party, and said to the other party with a kind face.
The servant rolled his eyes and said in a strange way: "What is there to bet with a beggar like you, and besides, it will not do you any good to win you." β
"I'm afraid you're afraid of losing to us, so you don't dare to bet with us. Raels and Wright glanced at each other and said to the servant with some contempt.
"I'm afraid of losing to you, and you don't look in the mirror, who are you and who am I. Although the guy on the other side was just a servant, following the nobles all the year round still gave him a sense of superiority, and he no longer reasoned, and he raised his fist and was about to hit Raels in front of the door.
"Dang Chang...... When the ...... is long"
At the moment when he raised his fist, the sound of metal colliding also came from the money bag that Raels took out, and then, Raels's cold voice flew from behind the money bag, "I bet all the money on you, less than one-fiftieth of my money bag, if I lose, all the money, I will give you, if you lose, I think this money should be able to buy your life." β
"Buy my life, didn't you get kicked in the head by a donkey?" In the servant's opinion, Raels and Wright, who were standing in front of him, were just two beggars who lived by begging, with what kind of capital to buy his life? Disdainfully taking care of the two, he raised his fist and was about to hit Raels and Wright's front door, at this time, there was a sudden sound of metal colliding in his ears, instinctively, he paused, thinking, how familiar is this sound, it seems to be the sound of gold coins colliding.
Withholding his hand, he raised his head and looked at the source of the sound of metal clashing, and at this moment, a dirty, earthy yellow money bag that looked like it could hold three or four hundred gold coins was being carried by Raels in his hand and dangling in front of him.
At this time, Wright, holding his arms, looked at him contemptuously, as if he was telling him, dare you make such a bet.
"Dare, how dare not!" If you were someone else, carrying such a money bag and shaking it in front of you, you would definitely not dare to agree, but in front of you it was very different, standing in front of you were two beggars, even if what they were holding in their hands was a money bag, and that money bag must be filled with gold coins? Their monthly offerings, that is, about 20 gold coins, they were beggars, how could they have so many gold coins? They must be fooling themselves.
"Yes, they must be fooling me, and if they don't have stones in their money bags, if they don't have scrap copper and iron, they can't be gold coins. β
After judging that Raels and Wright's money bag was not filled with gold coins, the servant's face was full of pride, and he took out five gold coins from his pocket, his eyes swirled around Raels' money bag, and he sneered: "Stinky beggar, I'll make this bet with you, if you don't have gold coins here, it's other things, such as stones, mud, scrap copper and iron, the consequences will ......."
"The consequences are serious, aren't they?" said Raels, provocatively interrupting him, thinking to himself, you dog minion, you are really rampant enough, and in a while, if you see that there are gold coins in it, I will see if you are crying or laughing.
The servant shook his hand and said disapprerovingly, "The consequences are not serious, just breaking your two legs." You talk so much nonsense, don't you dare to bet with me?" As he spoke, he raised his fist and blew his beard at Raels and Wright, as if he was telling the two of them, if you don't dare to fight me, I will kill you.
"Don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" As soon as he finished speaking, Raels shook the money bag again, making a sound of metal colliding, and then the gold coins containing it appeared from the money bag.
The bulging gold coins that propped up the money bag, in the sunlight, reflected the golden light, which was unbiased, and shot right between the servant's eyebrows.
"That's a lot of gold. β
The rich taste of money, the golden light, no matter how much this servant doesn't believe it, the money bag is not a gold coin, and when he sees this scene, he has to admit that this is a gold coin. Instinctively, he stretched out his hand to grab the money bag, but at this moment, Raels's playful voice sounded in his ears again, "Take it if you want, anyway, these gold coins are used to buy your life." β
"No, no, no, it's absolutely impossible, they won't have that many gold coins in their money bags, they must have only put a layer of gold coins on top, and there are still stones underneath. Yes, it must be. After a brief moment of shock, the servant once again doubted the authenticity of the gold coins in the purse, and reached for it.
"Gold!"
"Gold!"
"Golden ...... Currency...... Gold...... Currency...... It's all gold!"
As his hand reached down, he didn't touch a stone or anything else, and his voice vibrated involuntarily.
When he had touched all the gold coins, he also roughly estimated the number of gold coinsβnearly three hundred.
Three hundred, what is that? That's sixty times the amount of gold coins in his hand! It's the sum of his three years' salary! Moreover, the salary his master gave him is too high, and if the servants of other nobles were servants, these three hundred gold coins would have to cover their salary for five years!
With so many gold coins, I didn't expect the other party to be able to take them out casually, so is the other party still two beggars like they are dressing? Of course, it is not ruled out that the two of them were robbed, but two beggars, if they want to grab so many gold coins, he doesn't believe it if they kill him.
Since the other party's gold coins were not robbed, it is very likely that the other party is a nobleman.
There are hundreds of gold coins in the money bag, except for nobles like his master, servants like them, they will not put so much money in their pockets. It can't be said that even if the other party is not a nobleman, it is not something that he can provoke.
