52: Starry Night
"Who are you?!"
Being robbed of the limelight, and in more detail than he knew, Bonn was very unhappy.
But seeing that the man walked over politely, he took off his hood and handed over a high-grade business card with a brown paper seal with both hands: "The trick just now made you laugh, the contemptible Fu Sijia is a senior treasure connoisseur." β
In Guloka, there are many occupations that deal with gem minerals. Due to the imperfect management system and the corruption of officials, it is relatively easy to get a job title that does not have to be a miner, after all, most of the titles can be bought with money.
But there are also three, six, nine and so on-
Absenteeism is the most expensive, and it also pays the most taxes every year;
The price of the craftsman's title is average, but he must know some craftsmanship, and the annual tax must account for half of the income;
As for the gold diggers......
The pre-human gold diggers were those who searched for gold and sand, and the current gold diggers are scientific researchers who have studied the geological environment and can accurately determine where there are mines or relics.
Yes.
Gold diggers are supposed to be scientific researchers with excellent professional ability and knowledge, but at some point, government officials have become more and more corrupt, so that as long as they pay enough money, some people who are not well educated can get certificates.
It's like the two people in front of Gu Nanyi at the moment - Bonn all got the documents by virtue of his strength, and the eldest second child paid the money, so Bonn looked down on the eldest second, but it was not only the eldest second child who spent money, but the eldest second child obviously had no goods in his stomach but still had to pretend to understand, which made Bonn very unhappy.
Bonn was the only one of the few who didn't open the back door, in other words, he was the head of the gold diggers. Now he was suddenly robbed of the limelight by an inexplicable guy, and his face was extremely ugly:
"Senior Treasure Connoisseur, just you?" Bonn disdainfully took the business card and looked at it. This high-grade paper product with a cowhide seal is indeed authorized by a high-ranking treasure connoisseur, and it also has a steel stamp on it that proves the "nobility of the New World Special Zone".
That's right.
The so-called senior treasure connoisseurs are actually no different from ordinary treasure connoisseurs, most of them are professional titles bought with money, and their tasting ability is average, or even some do not know it at all. But with the addition of the word advanced, everything is completely different:
Just like the steel seal on the business card, the senior treasure connoisseur is from an aristocratic background, and just by virtue of these two words, he has already distanced himself from the so-called commoners, and the salary is completely incomparable with the commoners.
Bonn's family background is solid, and he has naturally seen some of the world, and he knew that this business card was genuine at a glance, and his attitude immediately changed: "I'm really surprised, I can actually meet a senior treasure connoisseur here, and I am fortunate to meet it!" β
"Mr. Fusgaard, I guess you're very familiar with the ruins of alders, right? Truth be told, we're planning to go to the ruins, so if you don't mind, can you tell us more about the ruins? Bonn cordially invited him to sit with him, and as he spoke, he took out a small bag of light baht and stuffed it over.
Gu Nan glanced at the money lightly, and entered the seat, but gently pushed the money bag back: "It's all peers, just make friends." β
Bonn was stunned, and exchanged glances with several people in the same company:
In these years, there are still such modest and talkative aristocrats?
As soon as Gu Nan entered the table, he talked to them a lot, but it was all shallow information that ordinary people also knew, like the top-secret insiders just now, and he didn't mention it at all. Bonn was clearly a little unable to sit still:
"Mr. Versgaard, we've done a lot of homework on the Alder Ruins, but this is the first time we've heard of something like the madness you just said. What was going on, what were those weird things? β
A few people thought that this Fusjia was an honest man and easy to speak, but they didn't expect their eyes to suddenly change at this moment: "Why do you want to go to the Alder Ruins?" In recent years, the government has not ordered any more exploration there. You're going there now, aren't you going to do some tricks? β
The man's pair of sharp and wise seemed to see through the deepest secrets of their hearts in an instant. The eyes of the Bonn people subconsciously dodged, and they didn't dare to look at them, and they seemed to be seen through in an instant, so that they couldn't answer.
Gu Nan glanced at them one by one, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Everyone is not a layman, in fact, there is nothing to hide." Although I have just been in the industry, I have heard a lot about it. The ruins of the alder are so big, and there are many treasures in them, but everyone wants a piece of the pie...... "59 Library
"Shhhh Shhh-" Bonn almost jumped up excitedly, hurriedly let Gu Nan stop, and looked around with a thief's eyebrows before whispering:
"Mr. Fosgaard, you are an aristocrat, who usually lives in the 'New World', and is not familiar with the outside market. Let me tell you, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, it is illegal to enter the ruins privately, and there is no good fruit to eat if you are caught. There are all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods outside, in case it is heard, of course it doesn't matter if you are a nobleman, but we civilians have to finish the calf! β
"Oh? Is that so? Gu Nan raised his eyebrows, looking like a young master who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you are willing to take me with you, I will definitely protect you if something happens." β
He patted his chest and had a lot of money. And these words really moved the hearts of several people. Look at each other, leave the table first, and the cat will go to the side and discuss it in a whisper:
"Can this guy believe it? What if something happens and he kicks us in the foot? β
"Why don't you promise him first, and find an opportunity to do him on the way? We can't let outsiders know about this incident, it is a big crime to trespass into the ruins, and it is a serious crime, and when the time comes, we will be imprisoned in a concentration camp, and we will not be able to get out until we die! β
Bonn looked at them and weighed a few points in his heart: "But he is a nobleman, and killing a nobleman is a death sentence." β
"It's all because you don't have a brain, you don't want to be clear and you hook up with others, and you want to set up information with others, are you stupid now?" The eldest son sneered sourly, and said before Bonn fried his hair, "I don't think there is any need to worry now, he came to the door, and naturally he also wanted to take our ride." We don't care what the purpose of this nobleman is, as long as it doesn't harm us, we can do it. And if we take him and have the status of a nobleman to support us, then it will be much easier for us to act. β
Hearing the eldest second child say this, everyone felt justified in their hearts. However, that Fusgaard seemed to have seen through them, and urged behind: "How are you discussing?" Is it that hard? I think there is a lot of strength in numbers, and if you want to enter the alder, you can't do it without a decent reason. β
"I have a pass from above. With this, the people of Alder will not be difficult for us, and we may even be able to provide support. I came out alone behind my family this time, and I didn't know the bottom of my heart, so I wanted to find some reliable companions, and I met you just now. β
Gu Nan finished speaking, and the three words of the pass order made Bonn come over with a smile: "Fate, fate, this shows that it is the fate arranged by God!" It's destined that we will run this trip together! β
"Mr. Fursgaard, you put a hundred hearts. Since we are like-minded friends, our trip must be worthwhile, and we will definitely gain a lot! β
A group of five people drank and formed an alliance on the second floor of the small shop, and they were as cheerful as the exaggerated paint color of the store. Perhaps because the color of this swagger is too unique, the lone man walked and couldn't help but stop at the door of the store.
The street was noisy, and the man looked up at the window on the second floor of the storefrontβhe couldn't see anything there, and he couldn't hear anything from the first floor, but he seemed to know what was going on inside.
No one knew what he was looking at, but after a few moments, the boss spotted him and greeted him warmly. But he didn't give the boss a chance to talk, and walked away again, leaving only the slender back with a long knife. The dark blue hair was as cold as the frost of the night, which seemed to create an unreal illusion for this gully that had never known what winter was.
Before leaving the city, he stopped at the stable, and without waiting for the owner's introduction, he bluntly said that he wanted to buy the best horse hidden in the owner's private stable, and the price was very high.
The boss happily made a deal, but he was inevitably surprised: "Young man, this horse of my family has never been mentioned to outsiders, and it is a gift to prepare for next year's tribute to the city lord, how do you know?" β
The man didn't leave a word, and whipped away, and there was only an endless mountain and stone forest in the distance:
It's still far from the Cherry Mountains......
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the light feather is also alone under the starry night. She came from the Snake Crack Strait, passed through a small city and entered the mountains, and was not too far from the Alder Mountains.
There is no vegetation in the mountains here, and only the shadows cast by the various colored stones in the moonlight. The night breeze is moderate, but the sound of the leaves shaking will always make people feel lonely, as if the world is quiet and only one is left.
The footsteps of Light Feather rubbed against the stone road, and a leeward stone cliff in front of him was a good place to sleep, but when he passed, he realized that there were already people there.
The crackling of the bonfire and the glow of the fire reflected the ruddy faces of these poorly dressed men, but it was still clear that their faces were all dry and yellow under the firelight, which was caused by a long-term lack of nutrition, and most of the miners in the Guloka looked like this.
This is a group of old people with their grandchildren, the children have grown to the age of fifteen or sixteen, and it is time to go to work in the mines. Otherwise, their parents, who are still working in the mines, will be severely beaten by the mine owners and will be deducted from their meagre wages.
"Can I borrow a fire and spend the night?" Light Feather walked over, friendly and gentle, but her spear and saber still made everyone very afraid.
"What do you do?" A teenager asked, looking at Qing Yu vigilantly, and then pointing to the gun on her armed leg, "Is this thing real?" If you want to stay, this thing, and that knife, must be handed over! β
Then the young man pointed to the big water bag behind her back, like a robber: "And this!" Give us your water too! β
