Chapter 163: Pawnshop

No matter how you look at it, the city doesn't look like a near-future city, there are no intricate overpasses, no cars coming and going, most of the pedestrians on the road are on foot, and occasionally one or two gorgeous horse-drawn carriages will pass by, if it weren't for the shops on both sides and the changing colored lights and glass screens playing the screens, Shen Fu would feel like he has arrived in the nineteenth century England.

By controlling the traffic of the inhabitants, it is easy to divide the areas from one area to another, and reduce the communication between the areas, which can ensure the privileges of the nobles to a certain extent, and at least do not have to worry about the 'commoners' passing by the areas where the nobles live from time to time, and develop a sense of jealousy.

However, the privileges of the nobility were indeed everywhere, and Shen Fu had seen people dressed in ordinary clothes more than once give way to the richly dressed nobles.

"Shen Fu"

At this point, Beatrice stopped, pointing to a small and inconspicuous shop around the corner of the street.

"That's written with the word 'pawnshop'."

Shen Fu looked in the direction she pointed, and it was true that in the French on the street, there were two standard Chinese characters, and it was a rare shop like "pawnshop".

"Let's go, Betty, let's go exchange some currency and take you around in the evening."

Beatrice has been learning Chinese for the past few days, although not as she said before, she learned it in one day, but she already knows most of the Chinese characters.

Shen Fu took her hand and walked towards the pawnshop, he originally wanted to find a bank or something like that, and exchange precious metals such as gold for the currency used in this world, but the pawnshop should also be able to exchange it.

The corner of this street is an arc, the pawnshop is in the center of the corner, even the glass door of the shop is also rounded, looking through the glass, it is a cone-shaped space no more than 30 degrees, an old man with glasses sits at the innermost sharp point, blocked by a wooden table.

It was at the corner with the most traffic, but there were no guests.

Pushing open the door and entering, it seemed to affect the jingle tied at the door, making a crisp sound, the old man raised his head and looked at the door, it was two guests who were specially dressed, but had a different temperament, and at this time Beatrice had already canceled the magic.

There were only dim yellow lights in the whole store, and on the walls on either side were a one-man tall closet with strange things.

"Are the two guests here to be something, or are they here to sell something?"

The old man's skin was gray, his hair was messy, and his dark old age spots and wrinkles made it impossible to distinguish the characteristics of his facial features, but Shen Fu saw his black pupils at a glance.

"When things, just see if there's anything to buy."

Only Shen Fu had a small translator, but Beatrice couldn't understand the old man's words.

"Yo, it's been a long time since I've heard such a round Chinese language, the guest is a Chinese?"

Unexpectedly, the old man was just stunned, and then said the same standard Chinese from his mouth, just as Shen Fu thought, this is a Chinese person.

Shen Fu didn't reply directly, but picked up a diamond ring covered with gray layers from the shelf, wiped the gray layer on it, and shone under the yellow light.

Actually...... Is it a real diamond, in a small shop in this?

"This thing, I guess it's not real."

Holding the diamond ring in his hand and asking the old man, it seemed that he had found an interesting place.

"Hehe, the guest laughed, how can a small shop like Contemptible have real diamonds, but they are just children's toys, but they are more exquisite."

Under what circumstances will the seller say that the real thing is a fake, there is no doubt that only when the origin of the thing is inappropriate.

"You're a stolen goods here."

Gently discarded and caught the diamond ring, and directly said the answer he had determined.

The atmosphere in the store was stagnant, and the old man's expression was also frozen on his face, and for a long time, his eyes kept sweeping between Shen Fu and Beatrice.

"Look at this little girl's dress, the guest is a nobleman, I don't know which country it is? In the Orthodox Kingdom, it seems that there is no such nobility as the guest. ”

"Oh?"

Shen Fu was a little surprised at this time.

"Do you remember all the nobles of this country?"

"Hehe, contemptible people are just ......"

"Tell me, who is the nobleman behind you?"

Before the old man's words were finished, Shen Fu directly interrupted him, and the hypnotism in the yin magic had been used in his words, with his spiritual power, it was impossible for an old man to resist, and he quickly lost his eyes and answered Shen Fu's question in a daze.

"It's Earl Nangong Muyue."

This kind of hypnotism is not harmful to the caster, but he will feel in a short trance, and he can't remember what happened after being cast, so Shen Fu used it so directly, after all, looking at his appearance, he couldn't ask anything directly.

However, Nangong Muyue, who was not one of the five Chinese nobles, and was also the only female nobleman, learned from the old man that these stolen goods were all stolen by nearby Chinese wanderers, stolen from some nobles, and sold here, but most of them would eventually be bought by that Nangong Muyue at a slightly higher price.

Windfall, when Shen Fu walked out of the store and the jingle at the door sounded again, the old man suddenly reacted, looked around, but found that a fist-sized piece of gold was pressed on the wooden table, and no one else saw it.

"Shen Fu, how do you know that there must be a nobleman behind this stolen goods cave?"

Beatrice took Shen Fu's hand and tilted her head and asked curiously.

"It's very simple, opening such a store in such a location, Betty, you don't think we're the only ones who found it, so it can survive, there must be someone behind it."

Shen Fu spread out the map he found there, and the detailed distribution of the entire Paris address was on it, and he quickly found the location where Floretia was, but Milinda, as a rare OBJECT driver, didn't even have her own house in the capital, which shows her true status in this kingdom.

"Let's go, Betty, let's go straight over and get down to business first."

Having a map is equivalent to having coordinates, and Beatrice once again uses her magic to block them out, and the two of them disappear into the street.

Floretia lived not in her own family, but in another aristocratic district, with a house that she enjoyed as a major in the army.

It should be here, compared to the street just now, this place is obviously more advanced, with three-storey bungalows, exquisitely distributed green gardens, security everywhere, and the luxury of the aristocracy everywhere
