Chapter 20: A New Journey Begins
Tahi took out a small purse from her fanny pack sideways, embroidered with beautiful flowers, and looked cute. Open the buckle and put it in front of Yu Youzi's eyes, only to see a handful of gold coins inside, much smaller than Liver, which is the official gold coin of the Gonzalez Empire, Pamière, commonly known as Dapa.
"It's only more than 60 pieces, and you still have to eat if you can't rent it for a year, and if you change positions, it will be spent in a quarter at most. Can you get enough money?" Tahi, who has run an amusement park, is very sensitive to money, especially since the amusement park has been losing profits for a long time.
Yu Youzi was speechless for a while, and the previous transmission fees were all paid by Tahi, consuming 150 papa, so that the originally bulging wallet is now shriveled: "Indeed, my salary has to be repaid 72 livres first...... Hey, if you're wronged, let's live here first. β
Seeing Yu Youzi's final compromise, Tahi Yuan, who had always lived a self-reliant life, smiled proudly: "I'll find a job in two days, earn some money to pay off the debt together, after all, you borrowed that money because of me, and I lost 19 ......."
Due to the existence of hierarchical power in this world, there is no general humanistic atmosphere on the earth where women are a vulnerable group, and no one will feel the need for help and sympathy if a little girl is alone outside begging for a living.
Even if the issue of renting is properly discussed, Tahi Yuan negotiated the rent with the woman who became her landlord, moved the ceremony, and sorted out the cabinets, Yu Youzi took his suitcase and said goodbye and left, he was going to the palace to see Her Majesty, and when he met at the portal the day before yesterday, the queen asked him to meet her when he returned.
Since there was really no public carriage to sit in, Yu Youzi stopped a rental carriage and went back to the Angdok officers' quarters first, which was an independent Dulo building, next to the ordinary military barracks and dormitories, went back to the room and took out the last bit of money that had been thrown together with the change of clothes, and went downstairs to pay the fare. Throw your suitcase into your single room, go to the palace first, and then pack it in the evening when you have time. Let the taxi carriage that was still waiting downstairs carry him to the palace.
The belongings he carried with him kept changing, but only the one was a whole circle smaller than the ring, surrounded by an inexplicable pattern, forming a round black ring, and he had been wearing it all the time. Yu Youzi, who was sitting in the carriage, felt it and touched his chest, and the ring was passed through by him with a soft rope and hung in the clothes on his chest. Most of my memories were traced back, but I still couldn't remember what the ring was for. The golden-eyed girl who said "The sky is full of stars, light years is vast, and I will eventually recover all my ......" under the Black Steel City was saying it to this ring that did not disappear as she crossed it?
Driving in the city of Ondoc, there are many freight wagons coming and going, transporting building materials and all kinds of ruins, and after turning onto the straight road leading to the palace, you can slowly see the destroyed buildings the day before yesterday, cleaning up the ruins of the site, the street next to it is full of building materials, and the construction site is surrounded by a low fence, and the workers are busy inside.
The carriage stopped at least five hundred meters away from the palace gate, and the first part of the road was a forbidden area, and there were no buildings in front of the palace gate, clearing a large open space, and the foreign carriage needed to stop in front of this open space.
After Yu Youzi entered the palace, he first went to the office area to take a look, but Winsmo was still not there, and then went to the Minister of Personnel of the Army, Selo, which was considered a leave, and then asked how to meet him.
Cello told him to go to the royal reception on the third floor of the main office building, which was the department responsible for issuing orders. The location is actually right next to the council hall. After arriving there, a lady received Yu Youzi, who indicated her intention to come, and after glancing at the clock hanging on the wall, she told Yu Youzi to come back at eighteen o'clock in the afternoon. It turned out that I had gone around in such a big circle outside, and before I knew it, it was almost time for lunch.
Eighteen o'clock is almost the time to get off work on earth, but in this world of 36 hours a day, it is the time when you have just finished lunch and end your lunch break.
Walking out of the office building, Yu Youzi, who was worried about where to go for lunch, saw Winsmer who was also going out, and the two made an appointment again and went to the restaurant that was suitable for secret conversations last time.
Sitting in the private room, the meal was good, and Winsmo opened up the conversation: "Where have you been in the past two days? I heard that you borrowed money from everywhere and took that little girl to find a place to settle down?"
Yu Youzi waved his hand: "It's not what you said, business problems, it's not easy to say what the specifics are, anyway, Her Royal Highness the princess also knows." "When we met at the portal, I did tell Xian Ruola about the amusement park.
Wen Simo nodded and stopped dwelling on these trivial matters: "Last time, I occasionally touched a stronghold of the Black Tribulation Society through the movements of the snake people, but only one of the people left behind were eliminated...... It's too hard to catch them without getting rid of the moles, and I suspect they're all gone Willmiller now......"
"Oh! I've always wondered how you found this stronghold...... The girl with me has been drawn into your fight. β
"Haha, I'm really embarrassed to say, who knew that the timing was so coincidental, and it was good that people were fine. There's nothing to say about finding a stronghold...... I suspect that the destruction of the airport is actually a cover for the snake people to infiltrate - it is very likely that they entered the city in the empty court, and when it was time to be inspected, the Black Tribulation Society destroyed the airport to create chaos, and the snake people took the opportunity to infiltrate the city...... Snake man, I naturally thought of the tunnel, so I used detection magic to detect the underground near some empty carriages, and really found a tunnel, and then followed the tunnel to find the Duluo Building. β
Wen Simo smiled and said about the process of his discovery of the stronghold of the Black Robbery Society, this meeting, he looked a lot more relaxed, thinking that the pursuit work had achieved certain substantive results, which reduced the pressure on his body a lot. And he has been running his own private affairs for so long, and he really can't help this titular partner, so let's help him come up with ideas now: "Did you find anything in Duluo Building?"
"There was everything, I only did a simple inspection, there was no massive search of the building. Now it's been surreptitiously monitored, and anyone who enters or leaves the building will be arrested immediately......"
Yu Youzi thought of the words in Tahiyi's narrative about the shops opposite, and the surrounding shops should also be under Winsmo's control: "No one has been to that building all these days, right?"
"Nobody ......" Winsmo took a sip of tea depressedly, and had to work in the afternoon, so he didn't order any wine.
"Is it possible that the Black Raiders have abandoned this stronghold?"
"Then why did they leave a single person there, they should all have withdrawn on their own before they were exposed...... Do level 30 characters belong to this kind of small role that can be discarded casually in them?"
"So now the clue is broken again?" Yu Youzi knew Winsmer's plan, the prerequisite for him to solve the Si Hei Ji was to find out the traitor lurking in the ruling class of the kingdom, and he wanted to follow the clue of the member of the Si Hei Ji to find the traitor.
"Probably not, I think they will return to this stronghold, otherwise they won't stay. Now it's all about patience...... I just hope that the last time I killed the Guardians didn't go unnoticed. β
"Did you report this?"
"No, before the mole is found, it's better not to report this kind of key incident casually. β
"Actually, there is also a suspicion of an inner ghost...... "Yu Youzi told Winsmo what he had seen and heard in the council hall when he was summoned by Lemore during the last Palmiego incident.
"Then that means that the traitor should also be vigilant, and he will not act easily, maybe he will lie dormant, and it really depends on who loses patience first...... There will be no drama in this case for five or six years. β
"Do you want to find a way to scare the traitor out?"
"Oh?"
"It was to report to the above, saying that a stronghold of the Black Tribulation Society had been discovered, and then a minister's token was found inside. β
"Oh, did you deliberately leak information to lure the traitor?"
Yu Youzi nodded: "Yes, that's what it means...... Let's not talk about finding the minister's token, let's see who can't sit still first. β
Winsmo lowered his head and picked up the stew, thinking that before he could speak, there was silence in the room, and birds flew by outside the window, and after a long time, he said, "This is indeed a way to break the deadlock, but it is too risky...... If the other party dies and doesn't move, we will be passive...... It's not a one-size-fits-all approach. β
If you don't tell whose token it is, then I just won't move, and I really can't do anything about the traitor on my side.
Yu Youzi actually has several ideas in his heart, but he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, and it is offensive to say it casually: "In this way, you can really only guard in Nadu Luolou, which is the safest." β
"I'll think again. β
Then the two of them ate with peace of mind, and the meal they ordered this time was different from the last time, but the stew pot of one pot per person did not change, which is the specialty of this restaurant. In the brown soup of the small clay pot, there are stewed pieces of meat floating, crowded with red, green, yellow, and pale white unknown vegetables, the stems are cut into strips, the leaves are cut into pieces, and some are cut into pieces, and the soup water is piled up to fill the pot, wafting with the sweet fragrance of fresh meat, which makes people's appetite move. In the process of talking, Yu Youzi has already eliminated a small half, and now he is dealing with it with all his heart. At the same time, using the eating method learned from Winsmo, the red, green and green stew is scooped up with a special spoon and placed on the thin dough cake, and then rolled up and eaten.
In the afternoon, returning to the palace and saying goodbye to Winsmo, Yu Youzi returned to the reception of the Wang family and did not sit for a while, when the door opened and a maid came in and led him to the main building of the palace. This is the first time that Yu Youzi has walked on the air passage connecting the palace building and the office building, although there is a roof, but the two sides are not sealed, only the railing columns, all stone structure, walking on the top can see the large square on the left, and the main building of the palace with a huge five-story building and a sky garden on the roof can also obliquely see the whole picture.
The king didn't have a reason to hold meetings every day, and it was only because of the continuous emergencies in those days that Yu Youzi had a feeling that the king was so busy and the meeting was so busy. Hygilia did not appear in the office building today, and the place where Yu Youzi was met was also a room full of all kinds of curiosities, not so much a reception room as an exhibition room.
The two sat facing each other in the middle of the room, surrounded by half-height display shelves, and in the corner of the doorway stood a maid who was ready to obey orders.
Hygilia took a sip of brewed tea and put down the cup: "Actually, compared to the grinding tea passed down from the Tianmu Empire, I still prefer this kind of tea that can be brewed, and the child of Xian Ruola is also more thirst-quenching......"
Yu Youzi remembered the country lunch they had together in Bark Village, and the tea that came up that time was also brewed tea, or made by Aisha, but Yu Youzi couldn't compare the quality of the two teas, so he took a sip at random, and did not comment on the queen's hobbies, and said: "I'm very sorry, because of some personal matters, I left Willmiller City for two days." β
"It doesn't matter, who doesn't have a little personal matter...... It's just that I didn't expect that you would have mundane affairs in just a few days after you arrived in this world...... The girl who was following you at that time must have been Tahi Die, right?"
When they met by chance at the portal, Tahi hid in the crowd and saluted with everyone without showing up, but she didn't expect to be noticed by Her Majesty. I think I recognized it based on the appearance introduced by Xian Ruola.
"Yes, it was Tahi Die, who was the deputy manager of the amusement park, and I was going to the amusement park that day to take care of some things. "I think Her Majesty shouldn't have any interest in amusement park things, so Yu Youzi only used one sentence to bring it.
Sure enough, Hygilia changed the topic and began to get down to business: "Coming to you this time is actually an arrangement for you, I could have asked Selo to tell you, but I still want to tell you in person......"
I'm a character summoned by Xian Ruola.,And I talked to myself about everything when I was in Bark Village.,So I think it's a henchman who can be completely trusted.γ Yu Youzi speculated about Hygilia's current psychology, and did not speak, quietly waiting for her next step.
Hygilia turned her gaze to the surrounding displays: "The crafts in this room are all metal, collected by Sanfree...... When the kid grew up, he was very fond of machinery, steel, and things like that. β
Yu Youzi also raised his eyes and looked around, when he entered this room, he didn't feel anything special, but now listening to Hygilia, there is really a feeling of a post-modern metal art exhibition...... Metal horned cat, metal portrait, metal airship model. As you can see from the luster of these crafts, they are made of different metals. Metals are rare resources in this world, and this room of metal crafts that I don't know whether they are cast or carved is worth a lot of money. The most expensive should be the golden squatting cat elephant with a luster like Liver, licking its paws and horns.
Hygilia suddenly spoke, "We're going to send you to the old capital of Gold. β
"Huh?!"
"You know that our kingdom has sent students there in the past three years, and that is with that child of Xian Ruola......
After that, they talked about the affairs of international students, but Hygilia didn't seem to be very clear, and a lot of key information was not clear, and at the same time told Yu Youzi that due to the Baikoma Civil War and the Sealing Beast, the country really didn't pay attention to the situation of the international students, and it can be said that it was almost forgotten, and even the specific number of people couldn't be said for a while......
