Chapter 300: Rich
The little devil knew that he could earn a lot, but he didn't expect to make so much money at once, he looked at the twenty bags of gold coins piled together, and he was stunned at that time.
I was also depressed in my heart, going out with so much money, there was a chance that I would be robbed, and it was useless to have a concealment technique, walking with these money bags, there would definitely be a lot of movement, and when the money in the bag clanked, it would directly break the technique.
Just when the little devil and I scratched our heads and couldn't figure out how to get so much money back silently, the old man at the registration office came to the lounge.
"My name is Claude, and they all call me Black Spike." As soon as the old man came in, he smiled and held out a hand to me.
I raised my hand and shook his hand: "Gui Gan? ”
The old man looked at the money bag on the ground, turned to me again, and said, "Can you come tomorrow?" ”
"Yes, when do you think it's right for me to come?"
"I hope you can play two games tomorrow, and your opponents will be the champions of the previous two quarters, the Red Lion and the Cat God."
"How is the strength of these two people compared to Lei Gongbi?"
"Almost, Lei Gong is the most promising person to win the new season, he is strong, but he doesn't know how to please the audience."
The little devil finally came back to his senses, he hurriedly rushed to the middle between me and the black nails, and said with a displeased face: "Playing twice a day, this seems to be unruly, right?" ”
Black Spike smiled and said to me, "You are the most unruly person I have ever met, and since the establishment of the arena, no one has ever dared to go against the will of the audience. I can't figure out why you disobey them and they still like you. ”
"Because I'm handsome."
Black Spike was speechless.
Or did I break the short silence: "It's not impossible to play two, but you have to increase the odds." ”
"It's impossible to increase the odds, but I can offer something else. It's hard for you to get out of this amount of money. As he spoke, he pointed to the money bag on the ground.
I nodded: "What you said is to our hearts, we are worried about the money." ”
Black Spike smiled: "In this way, you can store the money in the arena first, and we will keep it for you, and when you need it, you can come to me to get it." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a silver-white sign from his pocket and handed it to the little devil.
When the little devil saw the brand, his eyes were straight, as if this thing was extremely valuable, but I glanced at the brand, it was made of crude steel, nothing special.
Black Nail pointed to the sign in the little devil's hand and said, "This is the patent of the nobles. Also, you can enter and exit the arena through the side door, which is quite hidden. ”
That's pretty considerate, and I just need a way out of the way.
I poked the little devil with my hand: "What do you think? ”
The little devil nodded at me, "Promise him." ”
As soon as the little devil said this, I nodded at the black spike: "When is tomorrow?" ”
"One in the afternoon and one in the evening, lunch and dinner. You can rest assured that the food we serve is completely safe and tastes good. ”
"Then it's decided."
After that, Black Spike shook my hand again before proceeding to deal with the matter of saving money.
The little devil gave sixteen of the bags of gold coins to Black Spike for safekeeping, and only took four of them, and he took two of them himself, and asked me to help him get two bags, so that he could hang the money bag on his belt and block it with the hem of his clothes, and he was not afraid of being seen.
I found a vacancy and asked Black Spike how many spectators the arena could hold at one time.
Black Spike pondered for a long time before telling me that if all the seats were full, it would probably be able to accommodate more than 2,000 people.
More than 2,000 people? This is quite a large number for the sea market, and don't forget, the city is located in the middle of an inland sea, and I originally thought that the population of this city would be tens of thousands at best, not more than 100,000 at most, but now it seems that I have greatly underestimated the number of people here.
You must know that half of the more than 2,000 people are nobles in Haishi, and there are so many nobles alone, if there is not enough population base, it is impossible to feed them, let alone let them have the capital to squander wantonly.
It's no wonder that the competition for survival here is so fierce, after all, there are too few resources and too many people.
After counting the number of gold coins, the black nail asked the money bag to be removed, and then took me and the little devil through a path to the side gate of the arena, this door is indeed hidden enough, except for the three of us, there is no other living person nearby, and there is an abandoned ditch outside the side door, and it takes hundreds of meters along the ditch to reach the dark alley on the outer edge of the arena.
Probably because this dark alley is the territory of Eros, there are no other pedestrians in the alley.
Along the way, the little devil was extremely vigilant, looking at everyone like a thief, and it was not until he entered the door of the tavern that he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Because of the long vigilance, after a long sigh, the little devil sat on the ground because of excessive mental exhaustion.
I folded the money bags around my waist and stuffed them into the little devil's arms: "Now you have become a rich man completely, right?" ”
"When I have saved up a hundred bags of gold coins, I will be able to send the Demon Mountain out of the sea market," the little devil smiled at me at first, and then said to me, "This money, too, is half of yours." ”
I waved my hand: "Leave it all to the Magic Mountain, this is also my merit." ”
The little devil's eyes were complicated: "You are a good person, but such kindness will also cause you trouble." ”
"My master said the same, but I really didn't realize how kind I was."
The little devil smiled, and then fell into deep thought.
At the moment, a question suddenly came to my mind: "When the sea market settles the commission for us, does it also give us gold coins?" ”
The little devil shook his head: "They settle in gold, really, 100% pure gold." ”
"There's a gold mine in this place?"
"Yes, indeed. There is no shortage of gold and copper, but heavy steel and other building materials, and vegetables and grain are also in high demand. ”
Damn, this is a business, you can bring in other building materials, as well as grain and vegetables, from the outside, in exchange for gold, which is extremely valuable in the civilized world.
However, since I can find out about this business, others will also find out, so why is there such a scarcity of supplies here? If all the people who ran the boats here tried to exchange the supplies from the outside for gold, this place would have become a rich capital with abundant materials long ago.
But why didn't anyone else do it?
I really can't figure it out.
The next afternoon, we went back to the arena to participate in the gladiatorial fight, and when the outer wall of the arena came out of sight, I was frightened by what we saw.
We were still some distance from the ditch leading to the side door of the arena, but because the buildings in the vicinity were relatively low, the outer walls of the arena were unobstructed, and the towering nails were covered with huge canvases depicting me after the transfiguration.
