Chapter 37: Old Henry's Ambition
The afternoon sun did not soften as the sun went west.
A teenager with short silver gray hair in casual clothes wanders the streets of the central district of Yorktown.
If you want to blend in with a city, you have to measure every inch of her skin with your legs.
In order to feel it more deeply, Extraordinary did not return the way it came, but walked in the opposite direction out of the gate of the Insurers Association.
In Central Queens, the extraordinary intuitive feeling is still very beautiful.
Clean streets, every 100 steps or so there will be an automatic spray of water sink, on the way to the mercenary mage friend told him that the water flowing from each sink can be drunk directly, after all, the mage union water system intermediate mages are responsible for purification.
Not far from the association is the Church of Light, and standing on the outside of the big fence, you can see the Doric colonnade inside, and you can't really see it, until the round and pointed dome at the end of the eye.
After washing my face at the roadside sink and taking a few sips, I finally found the tavern in Queens in the evening, which might be more appropriately called a hotel than a barony tavern.
The huge door, the "Adventurer's House" has also been changed to a higher "Paradise for the Brave", thanks to the address given by the old Henry, it is not wrong, or it will definitely be missed.
At the door were greeted by two half-orc women, and under the backdrop of the bright stone, the two pointed beast ears on the top of their heads were filled with enthusiastic brilliance.
Just as he was about to push open the door, one of the little beast-eared girls greeted the guest and opened the door for the extraordinary.
Suddenly, the heat wave of the tavern rolled in head-on.
In the middle of the tavern hall, a coconut-sized engram was playing "Gladiator", and it was so far away that you could only hear the loud roar of the beast in the conch and the screeching of chains.
The most exciting and bloody games in the Brave Continent are "Gladiator" and "Colosseum".
The protagonist of the former is a slave, a slave of all races, and the latter is the bite and fight of various monsters.
The only thing that looks more comfortable and elegant is the "Continental Brave" competition that nobles and free commoners like.
Brave the flow of people to the bar, a dazzling array of wine bottles hang from a kind of vine magic plant suspended in the air, up and down with the rhythm of breathing.
"It's embarrassing. The bartender looking at the bar turned out to be an acquaintance.
"I don't even know the name of old Henry's son, wouldn't it be rude?"
"Little Henry?"
The bartender looked up and looked extraordinary, especially calling himself little Henry in a tone of suffocation.
He shook the brown bangs on his forehead and looked at the stairs.
This second understands, without a second look, extraordinary and quickly ran to the second floor.
Sure enough, there was a guard guarding the corner of the second floor, but when he saw the silver-haired boy, he walked forward and led the way.
"Bang Bang Bang"
After entering the door, Extraordinary almost turned around and left.
Who is the big bald head in front of you? With a red face, the little waiter with the beast ears who had just gotten up didn't know where he was sitting just now?
When there was only one light left in the room, old Henry stretched out his right hand, which was full of jeweled rings, and motioned for Extraordinary to sit down.
"Young gentleman, have you only arrived in Yorktown today? No, you can rest for a day, and then talk about business after relieving the fatigue of the journey. ”
But looking at the blazing eyes of old Henry, I thought to myself, if I don't come again, you will want to see through it.
"I've always put Uncle Henry's business on me!"
The two sat on the soft sofa of the reception, and old Henry casually picked up the silver carved teapot and poured a glass of water for Extraordinary, looking at the young man in front of him and not knowing what to think.
"Please try the Garsen fruit drink from the dry and cold regions!"
After taking a sip of the hot water on the tree where I don't know where to soak the fruit, Extraordinary suddenly missed the taste of tea and coffee.
"Extraordinary little insurer, York's unique geographical conditions and cheap labor make our inventory warehouse full, although there are already five large wooden boxes shipped back from Sissel, but this production is far from enough!"
"I have already negotiated a cooperation with Kanderley, the largest auction house in York City, but in terms of operation, our category is too single, and the auction partners feel that it cannot cause much influence!"
"There's no going wrong with the promotion process I've given you, Uncle Henry. Don't you have wine boxes made of heavenly wood and bottles made of crystal?"
"Put different whiskeys on different packaging and set different price codes, do you need me to teach you this?"
Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration came to the extraordinary brain, the big girl, the cunning old Henry.
It is clear that the elder Henry was very receptive to the extraordinary whisky, and the brandy and champagne proposed by the extraordinary puppet at that time must have been remembered by the old fox.
However, this is close to the original intention of the extraordinary, and he is also happy to get the old Henry to earn more dinars for himself.
"Extraordinary little one, I wonder if the different wines you talked about last time are of such high quality as 'Extraordinary Whisky'?"
There is no need to knock on the side, and I am very calm when I know the extraordinary intention of old Henry.
"Uncle Henry, 'Extraordinary Whisky' is a testament to our friendship. Of course, we know each other so well, and we still have a friendship of half a countryman, and even if we need to find someone to cooperate with in the follow-up 'Extraordinary Brandy' and 'Extraordinary Champagne', I think the old Henry of the Berman Chamber of Commerce is the best partner. ”
After receiving extraordinary reassurances, it was clear that old Henry had leaned his back into the sofa nest.
"Of course, of course, time will see how long our friendship endures!"
Extraordinary suddenly wanted to ask old Henry if he had heard the saying "flowers are good for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days".
After a heated discussion with Henry Sr., the two reached a consensus: after setting the auction date and auctioning the high-end "Extraordinary Whisky", Extraordinary will use some of its precious collections as the finale of the auction.
Out of the gate of the tavern, the extraordinary saw that the outer city of the south was blazing, and behind it was all kinds of consumption, and the south has been creating, non-stop.
"Do you still have to work at night? It's just that the distance is too far away to hear the loud roar of the steam engine."
When Extraordinary returned to the small white building on the second floor, he found that there was only one maid left waiting for his return.
It turned out that after the Sissel sisters went to the university to report, they directly chose the dormitory in order to integrate into the school quickly.
The small group of knights left behind were arranged by the school to guard the dormitory, and eighty percent of the students who went to college were the children of nobles.
"Even if you live here, it's not convenient to explain that you can get some treasures out in the future, and then you have to go to work in the rubble area, so it's best to rent a house nearby. ”
"Lord Extraordinary Knight, the school has two days off every week. The two ladies will return to their accommodation, and you will have to take care of them when the time comes. ”
"yes, got it!"
Guardian knights, it's safe at school, but in the meantime, more people are always more secure.
Thinking of Blue Bubbles, his teeth itched, and he left, and his own Blue Bubble Slime was also kidnapped.
Hearing the commotion, Dosta also came to the living room.
"Extraordinary master, is it okay to go to the association to handle the work?"
It's still good to throw the troll warrior home, and if Dosta follows him to the Underwriters Guild, that little freckle will definitely get beaten.
"Dosta, I'll report to the Rubble District Council tomorrow, and you can see if there are any suitable houses to rent nearby. ”
"Also, tomorrow I will hand you a list of all the things I need. ”
Dosta answered and took a bag of rattling gold coins thrown by Extraordinary.
Lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, there is a problem with recognizing the bed.
was about to count Mianyang, when suddenly there was a movement in the golden space in his mind.
Looking at the "Vivien's messenger" that appeared in his hand, the metal ball suddenly flashed into a bird's shape and flew up the windowsill.
After a while, there was a knocking sound from the glass window.
When I got up and opened the window, I saw an identical bird on the windowsill.
"Isn't this the messenger you lost?"
The metal bird did not jump into the window, and when he saw the extraordinary, he put the envelope in the bird's beak on the table, turned around and flew away.
"Flying?"
The extraordinary who didn't turn around picked up the envelope on the table, sat down and opened it, and looked at it.
"Cordo Extraordinary, I'm sorry I left this 'Vivien's Little Bird' behind without permission, and when I knew it was your messenger, I suddenly thought of the funny story of passing the note in the public school, so I took it upon myself to keep her. ”
"As a childhood playmate, although I saw each other less after the end of the school, I never had a sense of freedom in the school. ”
"I don't know when you have called me 'Sissel's Jewel' and 'Dear Madam', and the friendship between my father and yours is the best testimony. Why is it that there can be friendships between adults, and the friendships of our childhood end before they can be continued?"
"Then I thought about coming-of-age, and after the coming-of-age ceremony, I guess I will have a reason for my needs. But since I was 15 years old, I have been very confused, because of my reasons, so that our friendship is like a bow cut by scissors. ”
"I already call you 'extraordinary', so the next time we meet, call me Ruth, please remove Miss, okay?"
Holding the letterhead, he could feel Miss Ruth's mood when she was writing this letter.
Sissel's identity is equal to yours, that is, your sister Lucy, is this the rush of the rich daughter and the poor boy?
Looking at the beautiful notes, I wonder if Miss Ruth still likes to hold the tip of a quill in her mouth as much as she did when she was a child?
He just snickered slightly, but Lucy grabbed his clothes and beat him.
There are no extraordinary memories that can be recalled in this world, and every time you need to use memories, extraordinary will think with guilt.
Extraordinary did not write a reply, there was no need.
It's like when Lucy played at home when she was a child, and she was a younger brother at any time.
When you want to be a bully, it's a beating.
Ruth or Lucy will always repeat the role of mom and dad, and she has always been a younger brother, a son.
A flame flew from his finger, and the letterhead dissipated into air as ashes.
