Chapter 69

At noon, John was in a restaurant. The restaurant still looks good, although it is still aimed at ordinary people - in fact, the aristocratic and wealthy merchants do not bother to eat outside. The rich and noble look down on the food outside, and the poor and lowly can't afford to eat the food here, so the customers faced by these restaurants are some people who have a skill, and the family has spare money, which is considered rich to ordinary people, but it is not too big for the rich and noble.

John was probably the first nobleman they received, and he was also an earl, and even the little baron's house had a private cook. Fortunately, John was only on foot, not in a carriage, otherwise he would have scared the restaurateur to jump.

Although the clothes worn by John were not the linen clothes worn by ordinary commoners, they were not the expensive silk fabrics that the nobles loved and had to rely on imports, but only ordinary cotton clothes; There are not many such people in the imperial capital, but there are also many of them, and they are completely inconspicuous.

John ordered one of their best meat pies at the "Mark Tony" restaurant. Speaking of which, John hasn't paid much attention to this method of pie, but he learned a pumpkin pie by chance in the past. Today, I was able to try the salty pie with minced meat that I hadn't tried before, and it was pretty good. In addition to this, John ordered a glass of light ale and a vegetarian salad.

How to say, John eats it, the ingredients in this restaurant are fresh, no inferior materials are used, and the cooking is also very careful, and the portions are also very large, but as an ordinary restaurant chef, it can only be said that it can still be eaten. If I had first come to this world before, I might have liked these foods very much, but now I have not only tasted the cuisine of various countries, but I am also a good hand, so I can only say that I can't meet my expectations.

Of course, it's a good habit to finish your bowl, and John doesn't plan to give it up. After eating these things, John stood up and took a money bag from his bosom to pay the bill. Although his own things are usually placed in the space, but in this situation, it is naturally inconvenient, so John also prepared a money bag with some silver and copper coins, not too much, but definitely enough.

A meal totaled twenty-six copper coins, twelve meat pies, six salads, and eight light ales. John took out three copper coins of ten denominations and handed them over: "No need to look for them. "A few copper coins, John still can't look at them, and by the way, it's okay to give a favor. When he left, he saw a little beggar at the door, and John didn't care.

There are many sources of beggars, but there are still very few in Nimitz, after all, whether it is to go to the church or to the Knights of the Holy Sunshine Cross, as long as they are willing to spend a lot of effort to dry goods, they can receive rations, and the disabled will also be accommodated, at least there will be no willing to do things but cannot do things in exchange for rations. In this case, this beggar is either lazy or has ideas in his heart.

John shook his head slightly, this beggar is here, it is very likely that it is the latter. As he thought about it, John suddenly stood still, reached out and grabbed a hand that reached out from behind for the money bag in his arms.

This hand was going to steal his money bag, but who knew that John was so alert that he was directly arrested.

John grabbed the hand, and didn't think about it, just a little warning. I'm not the kind of person with a full sense of justice, and I won't go to the public security administration office if I catch it, and I'm not very vindictive, and I don't think about how to retaliate back later. As long as the little thief gave up, John didn't bother with it. Everyone has their own way of living, and as an outsider, it's hard to interject.

Let go of his hand, and the thief who was caught by himself quickly took his hand back. It seems that he was also taken aback. John shook his head, and without looking back, continued to walk.

This little episode was soon forgotten by John. However, the other protagonist of the episode does not forget John. After a while, as John watched from the side of a merchant cart selling knick-knacks, the owner of the hand came again, and continued to reach out to reach out and touch John's purse.

Once it was tolerant, and twice it was just not knowing how to advance or retreat. John grabbed the hand directly, pulled it forward, and pulled the owner of the hand over. Sure enough, John knew in his heart that it was the little beggar he had seen in the restaurant before.

This time John didn't want to just let him go, again and again, John didn't bother to deal with it. This time, he grabbed his hand directly and folded it hard. There was only a click, and the beggar's hand was twisted. This is directly abolished.

The medical system in this world is not very good, after all, if there is a minor illness or pain, they usually go to the church, and the church will prescribe some medicinal herbs. For major illnesses and injuries, it is necessary to use a miracle of a higher level, and the people who can perform this miracle have a very high status, and it is definitely not something that this lazy thief and beggar can invite. In other words, if there is no accident, this little beggar can be regarded as a waste for John.

John didn't pity the little beggar this time. As mentioned before, the first time was a warning, and the second time came, then John took this as a provocation. Looking at the little beggar who fell to the ground and rolled with his twisted hands, John had no meaning to pity.

"What's going on?" This sudden change disturbed the person who was buying something next to him, and he had just bought it well, but suddenly a beggar fell to the ground. Looking at the beggar on the ground, and John next to him, everyone was talking.

The noise here alarmed the market managers who were on patrol, and after a while, someone came to check on it. It was evident that the beggar and the management of the place should have known each other, and when he saw the beggar lying on the ground, the color of the leader's face changed at once, and he ordered his men to surround John, as if he was afraid that John would take advantage of the confusion to leave. After that, things are very formulaic.

Brought John and the beggar with him, only to have his men take the beggar for treatment first, but took John to a prison cell. Opening the cell door, the guard behind John pushed John's back, as if trying to push John in, but he didn't. A little embarrassed, the guard's face flushed a little, and he knocked on the door with the baton in his hand: "Go in by yourself, don't let me waste that effort." ”

John turned around, "Why did you bring me here? ”

"Who cares about you, let me in!" the guard had a look of impatience on his face.

Interestingly, John looked at the guard and suddenly wanted to see what was going on. Looking inside the cell, there were several people still sitting, and each of them looked at John with a bit of a fierce look in their eyes.

As soon as I walked in, the door closed behind me. The guard knocked on the cell door with his baton: "You guys take good care of the new kid, got it?"
