Lucien was very depressed after being turned away by three tailor shops that looked a little classy, even if he went in with black yarn at the beginning, those tailors still refused to believe it, and were unwilling to identify what kind of yarn it belonged to, and were full of deep wariness of strangers like Lucian.

This market area is very large, with more than ten streets in total horizontal and vertical, and people come and go, often seeing dwarves, elves and other alien races, which is very prosperous, so Lucien soon found an elegant and clean tailor shop at the end of a street.

Behind the counter was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old blonde boy with a shy and green smile: "Master is making clothes in the back, my name is Banster, what do you need from the guest?"

"Can you help me see this black veil?" Lucien asked, taking his lesson and taking out the black veil in a roundabout way.

Banst thought that Lucien was going to pick a similar black yarn, so he took it without doubt, rubbed it with his fingers, and looked at the sun, his expression became more and more surprised: "Guest, this is the 'black nightingale' of the Kingdom of Holm, the black yarn that only the real nobles can afford, where did you get it?"

Like the other tailors, he was wary and worried that Lucien, dressed in a shabby linen blouse, would not be able to afford the "Black Nightingale", and that many of the rich could not even afford it, and that the origin was very suspicious.

Seeing that everyone had the same reaction, Lucien simply lowered his voice: "Don't worry, it will definitely not cause you trouble." ”

"Really?" Out of the back of the shop came a man in his thirties with a slender face, he was the owner of the tailor shop, McDowell, who had been disturbed by Banster's surprise and not controlling his voice, so when he came out to check, he happened to hear Lucian's explanation.

Seeing that there was finally a good interaction, Lucien couldn't help but rise in anticipation and a slight excitement: "I swear in the name of the Lord, and, you see, it has already been torn, and no noble lady or lady will care about it, as long as you turn it into a lace and streamer in a skirt, no one will ever know what it was originally." ”

McDowell took the black yarn from Banster's hand, looked at it carefully, and after a moment of silence, he spoke calmly: "Then how much do you want?"

Lucian was excited inside, clenched his fists tightly, and almost swung them, but the red-eyed rat's experience made Lucian maintain his calm appearance, looked at McDowell and smiled, "I'm sure you won't let me down, sir." ”

McDowell stared at Lucian's eyes for a few seconds, and seeing that he was not in a hurry, he spoke softly: "Forty copper fairs, it's only so big, and there are holes, and there are not many that can be used." ”

"A silver narr, a splendid long dress, if the night sky is as deep and beautiful as the 'black nightingale' as an embellishment, it will be more perfect, more suitable for the distinguished ladies and ladies. Lucien held back his excitement and bargained according to the principle of doubling.

McDowell shook his head and returned the black yarn to Lucian: "Fifty copper fairs at most, if not, you can leave with it." ”

"That's a pity. Lucien calmly took the black veil on the surface, turned around and walked out of the store, in fact, his heart was full of tension and contradictions, will he tell me to stop? Will it increase the price? If I miss this store, I may not be able to find someone willing to buy goods from unknown sources!

One step, two steps, three steps...... Lucien saw that he was about to walk out of the tailor's shop, and McDowell's voice behind him finally sounded: "Eighty copper fairs, if it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a long dress that was suitable for using black nightingale as lace, I would never have offered such a high price." ”

Well done! Lucian, who had his back to McDowell, waved his right fist fiercely in front of his chest excitedly and excitedly, then turned around and smiled very flatly: "As you wish." ”

Eighty tinkling copper coins were in Lucian's pocket, making them bulging and cumbersome, but Lucian found them indescribably cute.

Before he left, McDowell stopped Lucian again: "I don't know you, and I don't want to know your name, but in the future, if there is such a precious cloth and it won't cause trouble, you can consider me here." ”

"That's my pleasure. Lucien was in a good mood, so he smiled and bowed slightly.

Coming out of McDowell's tailor's shop, Lucien found that the sky was so blue, the sun was so bright, the air was so fresh, and everything was so beautiful.

Eighty copper fairs is not too much, but it is not much less, in addition to bringing Lucien much closer to the five silver narls, it also proves that Lucian's method of collecting rags to make money works, for Lucian, this is the most important thing!

............

"Brother Lucien, you have finally returned, my brother has arrived home, and my mother has asked me to invite you to dinner. ”

When Lucien walked to his house, he saw Evan standing in front of his house, and Evan spotted Lucien at about the same time, waving happily.

"Aunt Elisa's eldest son, John, the young man who has become a cadet knight's squire?" Lucien recalled about Evan's brother, and then smiled at Aven, "You wait a minute, I'll wipe my sweat." "The ninety-two copper fairs on his body can't be seen by Aven, God knows if he will say it with a big mouth, and when he has scraped together enough five silver coins for tuition, there will not be many problems, Lucien believes that he will definitely not do this forever.

Evan grinned and replied, "That's good, Brother Lucien." By the way, my brother brought back a piece of bison meat, which they had caught while hunting in the wilderness some time ago, and Sir Vane gave it to everyone fairly. ”

"I can finally eat potato beef stew, since my brother was picked by Sir Vane and taken to the manor to train, I have eaten less than twenty times in the past two years!"

His dirty face was filled with irrepressible yearning and greed.

Joel is a good kind of street performer, although the income is good and bad, but it is much better than the simple hard work and coolie people, plus Alyssa has been helping the textile guild to do laundry chores, so their family's income is actually close to the civilian level, but for John's exercise, there is rarely stinginess in food, which has been very difficult, and even occasionally asks old Evans to help.

After John was successfully selected by Sir Vane and did not have to worry about the two, Alisa began to plan for Aven's future life, and the result turned out to be much worse than before.

Lucian, who didn't know much about this world, didn't think it was strange, but thought that it was very good that poor families could eat beef once a month.

After hiding Copperfell and wiping his sweat, Lucien followed Evan to Aunt Elisa's house.

Outside Aunt Elisa's house, a group of neighbors who Lucien knew very well gathered, and they discussed enthusiastically:

"I heard that little John has become an official knightly squire of Sir Vane?"

"Alyssa said it herself, she won't lie!"

"A full-fledged knight squire under the age of nineteen, little John may really be able to stimulate the power of his blood, gain divine grace, and become a true knight. ”

"Tsk, then you can't be called Little John, you have to be called Master John, Lord John. ”

"You can't scream now, official knight squire, but you are qualified to be an officer of the city guard!"

"Joel and Alyssa are so lucky to have a good life in the future!"

Lucien looked at Evan suspiciously, and Evan nodded heavily, looking glorious.

Entering the house, Lucien saw a young man with blond hair and brown eyes standing up from his chair, John, who inherited Joel's youthful appearance, was tall and handsome, but the most direct impression on Lucian was his calm and introverted temperament.

"I'm worried when I hear that something happened to you, but it doesn't seem like a big problem, well, so I'm relieved. John smiled and patted Lucien on the shoulder, "Don't worry too much, this kind of thing is just an accident, and it should be a test for you by the Lord." ”

Dressed in a gray knight's suit, he looks very slender, and for Lucien, he is completely a mature older brother, although he is only a year or two older.

Lucien replied with a smile: "It's not a serious illness in the first place, it's Aunt Alyssa who is too worried, so she is a little nervous." ”

On the side, Ai Wen echoed: "That's it, that's it, my mother doesn't believe me at all." ”

John smiled and patted Evan on the head, "Go wash your face, it's time for dinner." ”

Waiting for Evan to leave, John smiled gently and motioned for Lucien to sit down: "Why, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have become rusty? Lucian, we are good friends who grew up together." ”

"It's a little uncomfortable, well, I didn't expect you to change so much. Lucien casually looked for a reason.

John nodded solemnly: "Knight training is not only physical training, but also behavioral and spiritual training, which is very hard and very rewarding. ”

After a few casual conversations about John's training at the Knight of Vane's manor, Alyssa beckoned Lucien to dinner.

There was only beef stew with potatoes and grilled fish on the table, but Lucien, who had eaten black bread for a day, thought it was so delicious that he almost ate his tongue, and Joel was allowed by Alisa to make an exception because of John's appointment as a full knight's squire, and ate beef and drank ale with satisfaction.

Throughout the supper, Elisa chattered happily and kept talking, Joel, Lucien, and Evan, who were concerned with food or wine, only occasionally responded to her, which satisfied her, while John followed the knightly code and was silent during the meal.

"Hiccup~" In Aven's long full burp, dinner is over.

John shook his head with a smile: "Aven, excessive satiety is bad for the body, don't do this in the future." ”

Then he turned to look at Lucian: "Lucian, have you ever thought about what you are going to do in the future?"

For this question, both Joel and Alisa looked at Lucien solemnly.

Lucien cautiously replied: "There is no definite goal yet, but I don't want to be like this anymore." ”

"It's good, dissatisfaction with life is the force to move forward. John nodded with satisfaction, "The bakery and brewery in Sir Vane's manor have been short of manpower recently, and they want to recruit a few apprentices, but they will have to live on the manor for the next ten years, Lucian, you think about it, and I'll come back on Monday and tell me the answer." ”

After becoming a full-fledged knight squire, John had the ability to change the lives of his family and friends, albeit meager but significant.

And in this world, there is also a myth of the creation of the world in seven days, so there is a prayer every seven days, that is, a week.

"Good boy, John. Lucien has just earned the first pot of gold in his life, and he has a more long-term and beautiful plan for the future, and he didn't want to sell himself for ten years at all, but it is too strange to refuse directly, which is not in line with his current state of life, so he is ready to refuse in a few days until next week.

John stood up: "All right, since Lucien you are fine, then I must return to Sir Vane's manor before the gates are closed." Then he hugged Joel, Elisa, and Evan in turn, and finally gave Lucien a big hug, "It's a pity that Lucian is illiterate, otherwise Donnie's butler would just lack a clerk to help him with the affairs of the village court, which is a well-paid and decent job." ”

"I'm trying to learn words. Lucien took the opportunity to speak.

John was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Our Lucien is very ambitious, well, I will help you think of a way to see if you can find an opportunity, but there may be little hope, or it will take a long time, you have to be prepared." ”

"Thank you, John. Lucien did not put his hope in John, he had the path in his own hands.

............

For three days, although he had not found anything of such value as the "Black Nightingale", Lucien's deposit had already reached a full amount of one silver narl and sixty-four copper fils, so he walked out of the city gate with great energy.

André looked at Lucian's back and said strangely to Mag, "Why does this kid go out of the city every morning?"

"Andrei, what are you talking about?" a kind voice came from behind Andrei.

Andre's expression became serious, and he hurriedly turned his head: "Good morning, Brother Jackson." ”

Leodos Jackson, the leader of Aaron's gang, has an extremely ordinary face, looks friendly and modest, but if anyone is deceived by his appearance, the end will be very miserable, whether it is sinister and cunning, or sharp and ruthless, he is one of the best in Aaron's gang.
