Chapter 292
Hamlin wants to walk alone, not just because he wants to breathe because he is bored, but because he wants to know more about the world. Although Hamlin exchanged a lot of knowledge from the system in order to integrate into the village, this knowledge needed to be exchanged with souls, and now Hamlin's souls have been almost used. Looking at the original 1,000 souls and now less than a hundred points, Hamlin was a little anxious. Therefore, obtaining souls has become the main thing for Hamlin now.
Based on his observations during this time, Hamlin found that the tasks issued by the system have a characteristic, that is, they are mainly triggered. In other words, only if you walk outside more, will you trigger more tasks, and on the same days, the number of tasks triggered is not only scarce, but the rewards are meaningless - three eggs, five loaves or something, and the system is afraid that you will starve to death? Thinking that the tasks he got in the first few days were how much land to plant today, how far to walk tomorrow, and then get some food for his stomach, Hamlin wanted to laugh a little.
In a moment of thought, Hamlin had walked out of the bazaar. The city is not hit, and most of the city except for the bazaar is occupied by residential areas, except for the lord's mansion located in the center of the city and the castle lord's office next to it. The big men of the city, the nobles and wealthy merchants, built their dwellings around the lord of the city, forming a ring of branches, with the commoners in the outermost ring and the rich and powerful in the inner ring. Although there is only a small river that is not wide in the inner and outer rings, and there is no fence or fence on the riverbank, it can be seen that the ordinary people in the outer ring are still very taboo about the powerful people in the inner ring: near the edge of the river, it is reasonable to have built houses long ago, but now Hamlin, who is walking by the river, does not see a single house built by the river, and would rather leave it empty than live in it.
I don't know if it's because the class concept in this world is too high and too stable or for some other reason, Hamlin looks at the civilians in the outer circle, even if they are walking on the path here, their eyes don't dare to look that way, and it feels a little strange. Thinking of this, Hamlin suddenly had the idea of going to the other side to take a look. But it wasn't at this time, maybe because he had been looking over there for too long, and it seemed out of place with the people around him, Hamlin saw that some nobles' private soldiers had noticed him, and began to look over here from time to time, smiled and stopped paying attention. After all, it's just a place to pass by while you're wandering around. Although it is possible to trigger some advanced tasks, from the perspective of the system's urine, it will definitely not give itself a task that can easily get a large number of rewards, and the principle of what difficulty and what reward is very thoroughly implemented in the system. More rewards mean greater dangers, and now I don't have the possibility of taking risks in terms of knowledge, physical fitness, or even wealth.
Seeing that the person on the other side of the river had left, the private soldiers gathered together and didn't know what to discuss. One of them left the patrol and went in the other direction. Soon, there was an additional person in the group that came out of the inner circle, dressed in the same way as the surroundings, but the rest of the group seemed to have some respect for this person. And in the evening, Tasuo, a wealthy man who lived in the inner circle, learned that someone had looked in the direction of his yard across the river in the afternoon, and at the same time got the identity of this person: "Oh, I also said who is so bold, it turns out to be a mud leg from the countryside." As he spoke, he just glanced at the first page of information and tossed it aside to stop paying attention.
Countless people come to the city every day from the countryside outside the city, and it is not surprising that some people would be interested in the upper class. There are more people like this than Tasso has ever seen, so how can he be made to care? But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care. One hand picked up the information that was thrown under the table, and looked through it carefully: "You can look away this time, this little guy is not an ordinary person." "Oh?" Hearing the words of his friend and confidant Jennis, who had just walked in, Tasso put down another piece of information in his hand ("There is a large build-up of troops on the border of Kyrgyz Province, and the possibility of conflict is greatly increased"), and looked at Denis: "It seems that you have found information that I did not observe." ”
Denis shrugged: "It's just that you never care about the information on the first page, and never look at what's hidden underneath." As he spoke, he turned the second page: "Isn't it written here? The man is still carrying a short sword." How could an ordinary farmer have a dagger? Not to mention whether they could get it or not, even if they wanted to defend themselves, those untouchables couldn't afford it. You must know that a good sword is priced in silver coins, and that those who even eat bread harder than a stone can afford it?"
snatched the information from Denis's hand, turned to the second page, looked at the information on it, and nodded: "Indeed, it is precisely because this sword looks very valuable and does not match his clothes that it is impressive, and I found his information." "Yes," Denis said, pulling out a small jar from behind him, "That's it, he called this sugar, maltose." As he spoke, he opened the jar.
Tasso took the jar and looked at the sugar inside, "Does this look like honey?" he said, holding out his finger to taste it. As soon as he touched the surface of the sugar, he felt the difference between the sugar and the honey: "thicker than honey...... How can it be so thick?" he dug hard with his fingers, watching as the sugar underneath was still stuck together and stretched into a long silk thread. "Oh, that's kind of funny. Fingers swirled, watching the sugar slowly form a ball between the fingers, and when the threads stuck together underneath broke, Tassel put his fingers in his mouth and tasted it.
"Well, it's sweet, it's the best sugar. However, there is no other flavor in this sweetness, neither the fragrance of flowers nor the sweetness of fruits. It's just sweet. Moreover, it is very sticky and the way it eats is not elegant. "It's not that Tasso can't afford to eat sugar, and he often eats sweets that are higher than this.
"My friend, as a businessman, this is not supposed to come out of your mouth. Denis said, "You know, I bought this jar of sugar for only twelve silver coins." "What?" Tassel only then began to look at the little jar, "You mean, such a jar, only twelve silver coins?" "Yes, and that's the price you bought from the store, you know how high the premium of this luxury is, and even then this jar of sugar is only a little more expensive than the same weight of inferior quality sugar, then the cost of this sugar is absolutely so low that you can't imagine." ”
Tasso stood up and walked around twice: "You mean, we took this man's way of making sugar?" "No, no, friend, you're doing the same old mistake again. "We can't just look at what we're looking at. Do you know the details of this man?" "Isn't that the farmer from a small village outside the city?" "But as far as we have investigated, this man was not born here, and in fact he had only been in that village for a few months, and had been met by a merchant on the way, and brought to that village. Before, there was no clue at all about his information, as if it had come out of nowhere. Moreover, he did not behave rudely, and in addition to making sugar, he also had the art of handling furs - and he taught this craft to the villagers without care, which shows that he did not care about the craft and the value behind it. ”
"What do you mean......" Tassel picked up an unusual hint of information from his friend's words, "He's not an ordinary person?" "And, my friend, at this point in time, there is an unexpected person, whether he has anything to do with that event or not, I think we need to be vigilant enough," Denis said. ”
