Chapter 108: Under the Water of Stormhaven (Fifth Update)
After dealing with the elves, Curtis was a little anxious.
Just as he was pondering how to notify Shen Yan, a second batch of guests came to the door, and they actually broke in again! But it him off!
"Presumptuous! Give me...... Hey? How are you? "Curtis's fire was halfway through, and he braked on in a hurry! It turned out that the person who broke in was an old man, although his appearance was inconspicuous, but his identity was well-known in the eyes of those in the know-he was the steward of the City Lord's Mansion......
The old man has always been very low-key, always hiding in the shadow of the city lord and is inconspicuous.
Ordinary small businessmen don't know the importance of this person at all, but Curtis happens to be one of the insiders, which also shows that he really mixes well in Stormwind. "Why don't you send someone to inform you, I'm going to meet you, it's too rude." Curtis hurriedly and cautiously flattered.
Don't look at the old man's identity as a high-ranking servant, but everyone who dares to say that in Stormwind City is dead! Some people say that he is helping the city lord take care of all the black business.
"Well, I'm idle today, and I suddenly want to hear a story, is Mr. Eller free?" The old man sat straight in his chair and said slowly.
"Of course, I'm here myself...... Matthew, go get my piano. Curtis said to the kid who had been a beggar. Just as Matthew ran to the back, the old butler glanced at him, "Well, that kid from the docks?" It turned out to be your student, no wonder...... He's singing well, and you'll sing that story later, I like it. ”
Curtis understands in seconds, bullshit just knew...... Will you come without investigating clearly? I had to think that you would have free time to listen to stories! And it is specially designated to listen to the story of "Sword of Kings"?!
It's okay to think about it in your head, but it's best to figure it out before you speak, this is Stormwind, other people's territory! Of course, what others say, Curtis can only say along the way. "Hehe~ It's good if you like it, but I can't tell him, it's not enough for a child to hear you praise it."
The slightly flattering touting finally made the old face smile a little.
Next is when Matthew brings the lute, and Curtis uses his whole body to perform the story of "Sword of Kings" completely - in fact, he has always felt that this story is far worse than "The Merchant of Stormwind" and "Hamlet"! But everyone just likes to listen to it! As a result, the little apprentices he taught made a lot of money from this story, so that they could have no worries about food and clothing in Stormwind Harbor. And his performance at the aristocratic party was also applauded by the audience!
Today, I actually came to the city to listen to this play......
Curtis seemed to understand a little, and at the same time, he became more and more afraid of the teenager who was smiling and laying out all this!
"Well, the story is really good, it should be sung to more people." After listening, the old butler said unsatisfied. "I'll say hello to your boat, and you'll be able to leave the port after the snowstorm." Hearing this, Curtisden was overjoyed! With this person's words, it can be unimpeded in Stormwind City, and all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods will give way! Gone are all the obstacles of the past!
"I'm also busy, so I don't need to let people know about this, otherwise everyone will think I'm an old dog who is starting to be lazy, hehe~" When sending the old man away, what the old man said made Curtis break out in a cold sweat. In the end, the old butler seemed to say something intentionally or unintentionally. "You say, does the Sword of Kings really exist? If anyone can find it, the city lord will reward him heavily! ”
I see! Got it all!
INTERVIEWER What do you mean by "it should be sung to more people"?
The next day, a businessman who couldn't get along with Curtis came to the door and donated him a large sum of money! It is necessary to "promote cultural undertakings"! Then seventy or eighty bards came to the door one after another, asking Curtis to learn the story of "The Sword of Kings" from Curtis, and almost half of the bards of Stormwind gathered with him!
When Curtis arrived, the group left Stormhaven in an uproar, and followed the fleet eastward and westward, northward and southward...... No, there is no southbound ...... One winter spread the story all over the Penrin Peninsula. Interestingly, in addition to the Havenstone Kingdom, in the Upper and Lower Penlin Kingdoms, the spread of this story also reached the support of the royal family - it seems that everyone has similar ideas, and it happened to be poked by this story to hit the G-spot.
- What is "no need for people to know about this?" ”
Because someone wants this spread to be a "purely civil act", without any official presence in between. But Curtis's ability to get his hands on the sailboats, the supplies he procured, and the large sums of gold coins that the merchants gave him were undoubtedly the shadow of the official everywhere.
So now the question arises, "Does the Sword of Kings really exist?" "—I'm sorry, it's not a question, it's an imperative!
If you can't figure it out, you can fill in the ditch yourself.
People are really not afraid that he will take the ship and run away, Stormwind City controls half of the fleet on the sea and half of the ports on land, your ship can't be floating on the sea all the time, you have to go ashore! Besides, didn't you buy a boat just to do business, offended Stormwind City, and you still did a woolen business! When a pirate? Hehe~ Secretly tell you an open secret, most of the pirates are funded by Stormwind! Unexpected or not? Surprise or not?
Curtis, a bard in the Upper Penlin royal capital, a failed theater operator, and a talented playwright, suddenly appears in Stormwind. Not only did he bring countless wonderful scripts (which the upper class can still appreciate), but he also brought news about the "Sword of Kings", and he was full of suspicions!
Who made up this story? Does the Sword of Kings exist? Does the answer to the question matter? It doesn't matter at all!
Finding the truth has never been the job of politicians, their goal has always been to exploit the truth! The important thing is that Curtis is the only person who has access to the source of the news of the Sword of Kings, so coercion and inducement of him to hand over the Sword of Kings is not an option, but a necessary answer!
In the eyes of these cunning politicians, Curtis is permeated with the smell of "deliberate" from head to toe, and only Curtis himself does not know it! When he got the money and pondered for two days and finally figured out the cause and effect, he had already been cheated to death by Shen Yan and these people!
Now even if he stands in the street and shouts, "I have nothing to do with this!" ”
No one will believe it anymore......
Hehe, it doesn't matter if you dare to take money? It's okay that you dare to make up a story? It's okay, you dare to agree to the request of the city supervisor's family? Who do you think you are?
Can we be less routine and more sincere?
