Chapter 872, The Problem of Identity
The prom wants to get news from this town, to get help, and the first thing to do is to integrate into this town. Only by maintaining a relatively harmonious relationship with the residents of this town can we truly communicate information. Again, if you want to make yourself less prominent, and get your team in order to get enough information before the duelists of the other worlds find you, then it's definitely not a good idea to venture out. The best option is to become a real local, to cover yourself with a secular identity, and to find information and enemies through this identity.
Xiao Yan is also working hard in this direction, although his current identity is an outsider, but he has a good title, jewelry appraisal expert. You don't need any supporting documents, you only need to show your strength in a formal jewelry trading market, and you will be recognized quickly. In these simple times, it is not always difficult to obtain a temporary status. And his status as a jewelry expert doesn't make him look out of the ordinary, as long as he behaves decently enough.
After listening to a loud "opera" in the square, Xiao Yan slowly dispersed with the others, and he was in no hurry to contact Sylvia now. The female vampires had already said that they would have to stay in Tobel for a while, and that there would be enough time to contact the choir before it left.
Walking down the dark road back to the hotel where he was staying, Xiao Yan was stopped by Miss Mansour, who was guarding the counter at the door, before turning to his room.
"There's your letter, Mr. Parin, from, mmm......, Dolan Chamber of Commerce."
Xiao Yan turned his head to look at this, although he was called a young lady. But the counter caretaker, who was at least forty years old and completely out of shape, said, "Uh. I think I said it, Miss Mansour, don't open my letters at will. ”
"Hey, what's that, we're always like this, Tobel always doesn't distinguish each other."
Mansur casually perfunctory, she opened the envelope. The beautifully decorated letter was pressed with one finger, and Xiao Yan was motioned to go over and take it. The young awakened man shook his clothes and walked to the counter. Twitched the envelope with his hand slightly, and without exception, this action felt a lot of resistance. Xiao Yan glanced up at Mansour, the counter caretaker with a face painted on his face that was almost comparable to that of a woman standing on the street. Shake your head slightly. He took out a few copper coins from his pocket and placed them on the counter.
To his surprise, Miss Mansour did not rush to take the tips back, but continued to hold down the envelope, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Oh, I think this is a very, very, very important letter for you. ”
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders, took out a copper coin with a larger value from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "I always think." A literate and money-stealing woman like you would be better suited to enter a monastery. And not condescend in this little inn. I believe that if you were in a convent, you should be at least a regional bishop by now. Oh no, it's not too late, and if you take refuge in the convent now, I'm sure they'll cry and shout for you to stay there when they discover your talents. ”
Mansour withdrew his hand and flipped the larger copper coin as he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows?" It's not easy to save money in a monastery, and there are a lot of rules all day long. I believe that St. Flemann said that the Lord is in the heart, and that the greatest devotion to the Lord is true. What do you think? ”
When she raised her head, she could only see Xiao Yan's back, and the young awakened man opened the envelope as he walked.
In this era, Europe had paper, and it was even used on a large scale to be able to write letters, if it was a few days ago, Xiao Yan would have been very surprised. After all, most of the papermaking technology in history is still in Spain, and the Italian Chamber of Commerce that has mastered papermaking has not yet been fully rolled out. But history is history, and now the city is the history of change, and everything can no longer be evaluated and explained by the original knowledge of history.
"I memorized so much history of the world, but it didn't work at all."
Xiao Yan muttered as he pulled out the stationery from the envelope. This paper with a color that is not pure and uneven in thickness makes Xiao Yan feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and he may be able to use such paper to deal with the aftermath after a while.
On this letter, the Dolan Chamber of Commerce only stated one thing, and tomorrow night, it was hoped that Xiao Yan would be able to go to the City Lord's Mansion. There, a collection of jewels from Asia and Africa will be on display, and the Dolan Chamber of Commerce will consider buying some of the jewels and preparing to sell some of them.
In other words, in this upcoming jewelry event in Tobel, the Dolan Chamber of Commerce hopes that Xiao Yan can help them make the best choice. After all, in such a grand event, giant crocodiles and liars are bound to abound. And the accuracy of the gem identification that Xiao Yan showed a few days ago made the Dolan Chamber of Commerce very concerned.
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, then reached for the wooden door of his room, and sure enough, Mansur not only liked to read his letters, but was also interested in his room. The fact that the wooden door is not closed is the best proof of this, and sometimes Xiao Yan is tempted to try to push the wooden doors of other rooms to see if he or everyone is being treated the same.
Turning his head to look at Miss Mansour, who was still staring at him, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and then walked into his room. This is the choice of the Dolan Chamber of Commerce, and Xiao Yan, as an employee of the Dolan Chamber of Commerce, has nothing to do about it. Unless he can have an official identification, as a "black household", he can only be arranged by the Dolan Chamber of Commerce. Or if he can prove his devotion to the Lord, then the church can protect him, considering that Sylvia is in the female clergy, or more precisely, Yenore is in this world, it should not be difficult for Xiao Yan to create a clean past.
It's just that there are many links in this that need to be considered clearly, why he will appear near Tobel, why there is no proof for what he is, and so on. And try to avoid goofs, this is a duel in the world, an ordinary goofs may be able to easily get through in the eyes of the world, but who knows if these worlds will be mixed with awakened people from other worlds. This kind of goofing is the best target among the awakened people in the other worlds.
Of course, it's not bad to continue working for the Dolan Chamber of Commerce, with the title of "employee of the Dolan Chamber of Commerce", the awakened people of the other worlds will have to consider it again and again if they want to do it to themselves. According to the rules of the duel, if you take the initiative to do something to civilians, you will be immediately expelled by the whole team. Therefore, having the "civilian title" will definitely tie down the other awakened people, and it will take more time to confirm Xiao Yan's true identity.
There was no Hannibal's joy in the room, which made Xiao Yan a little uncomfortable, although it had been more than ten days since he came to the Duel World, Xiao Yan still did not get used to the noisy environment of losing the fat dog.
Theoretically, Hannibal should be next to one of the players, but this is just a theory. Xiao Yan looked at the unextinguished candles on the walls of the room, it should be said that Mansour's peeping behavior sometimes has some good sequelae.
Now in this era, there are glass mirrors, there is paper, there are prints. Oh, and the Holy Choir, if only there could be a joyful ode today, it would have sounded even more inspiring.
Putting aside these cranky thoughts, Xiao Yan walked to the mirror and looked at himself again. In his eyes, he is a young man about thirty years old, described as withered, relying on the support of the mask, Xiao Yan has become completely different from before, although he is neat and tidy now, but no matter how he looks at it, he looks like a playboy who wastes his time. It's just that for some reason, this playboy encountered the same result as other gentlemen, his family was in the middle, and he ended up destitute and had to live on the streets.
Well, Xiao Yan thinks that this history can be confused for a while, but such history also has some fatal loopholes, and the biggest problem is that he doesn't know if the current nobles still have to strictly study heraldry. He remembered that for a long time in the Middle Ages, the nobles could not write or read, but at least they could read heraldry. However, Xiao Yan did not know much about heraldry, and it was impossible to make up a coat of arms, and those shrewd nobles could even derive a general trend of aristocratic history from a few branches of heraldry. Therefore, now he could not act as the descendant of any noble son, but only the heir of a wealthy merchant.
"Well, rich businessman, maybe that's the best option."
Xiao Yan switched to the language of Scandinavia this time to talk to himself, and because he was worried about the language, before he entered this duel world, he paid a large number of gene points to buy and learn the language of most of the world. While this doesn't guarantee that he can immediately find out where the enemy is, it does at least ensure that he won't be easily identified when he's hiding in a crowd.
patted his face, which made him feel a sense of self-pity, although he didn't eat dinner, Xiao Yan really didn't have much interest in the "food" of this hotel. A hotel that doesn't even make a Munich sausage must not be a good hotel, especially within a range like the Holy Roman Empire, this is Xiao Yan's judgment. He lay on the bed, undressed, looked up and listened to the beams that were squeaking and singing in the wind, and let out a long breath.
The sound of fluttering and dust falling from the beams of the room, a daring mouse looked down at the beam, and after making sure that the occupants of the room were all right, the nimble mouse ran away with a black mass that I didn't know what it was. (To be continued......)
