Chapter 4 Savings

"Of course... It's not necessary!"

After noticing that the two guards had completely left, Gordon immediately waved to the little maid in front of him with an expectant face.

Just between the words, Gordon's gentle smile on his face remained unchanged, and when he left, he saw the little maid disappointed for a while.

Ignoring the burning gaze behind him, Gordon walked away with a reasonable pace in the direction the little maid had instructed.

Straight down the stairs, it didn't take long for Gordon to appear in the hall on the first floor of the castle, only to find that many servants had gathered in the hall.

Gordon's face remained unchanged and slowly walked towards a column of guards guarding the castle gate, maybe Gordon's appearance was really good, except for many maids who met more or less peeking at Gordon, he didn't meet a single one who came up to interrogate.

However, when Gordon walked towards the gate, he saw two columns of guards patrolling back and forth outside the castle.

Gordon's face changed slightly, and he secretly thought, "Such a rash departure will definitely not be able to avoid the pursuit of those guards!"

But at this time, Gordon's footsteps obviously could not be stopped, as long as he stayed in the castle for a little longer, he was likely to be discovered.

Gordon went straight to the gate, but stopped in front of the young guard who came to the gate, and asked:

"Is Lord Baron Broad's garden over here?"

Gordon asked coldly with an arrogant expression, which immediately made the young guard feel the pressure, and the guard's face quickly turned a little red, and he said hesitantly: "Yes... Yes..."

"Yes, sir!"

"Walk over here, and you'll soon see the Baron's garden!"

Seeing the young guard's unnatural expression, a middle-aged guard standing opposite immediately said respectfully to Gordon.

"Yes!"

Gordon snorted coldly, glanced at the young guard, and then walked unhurriedly to the left side of the castle gate that the guard had pointed out.

But he didn't go far when Gordon distinctly heard the young guard's muttering, "I hate nobles the most!"

"Shut up, you idiot......"

Gordon didn't care about the whispered angry scolding from behind him, and after feeling that he was gradually out of the guard's sight, Gordon immediately strode forward and ran away.

......

"Whew... Whew......"

In a long, shady alleyway, a handsome young man with thin blond hair was leaning against a nearby wall, gasping for breath.

Naturally, the boy was Gordon, who had just escaped from the castle.

With the memories in the original owner's mind, Gordon calmly chose a path that seemed to be long, but it was actually not far from where he used to live.

The narrow and potholed paths along the way not only allowed Gordon to avoid the eyes of many others, but also saved Gordon from being exposed to the two scorching light clusters in the sky, which was very necessary for Gordon, who was weak at this time.

"Hurry back to your residence as quickly as possible, get the savings that were hidden by the original owner, buy some dry food, and then find a place to hide, so that you can meditate quietly and reach the entry-level wizard apprentice as quickly as possible!"

"Otherwise, once Baron Broad notices it, as long as a reward is simply issued, there will be a large number of people scrambling to find him, and then it will not be so easy to hide!"

After just a moment's pause, Gordon immediately figured out what to do next.

At this time, Gordon heard a faint voice in the distance behind him, and did not dare to continue to rest, Gordon immediately continued to rush in the direction of his residence.

For Gordon, it is safer to meet less people now, and it will be safer for him to hide after the future events are exposed.

As for wanting to explain to others that he had been sold to Baron Broad's castle without knowing it.

Gordon didn't even think about it, because that would only make him get caught faster.

After passing through the narrow path, a dirty path soon appeared in front of Gordon.

Sewage paths, piles of stinking garbage, stray scrawny wild cats, circling green-headed flies, and wooden huts as dense as canned sardines stacked in the distance.

It all shows that this is a slum, and every thriving town is an integral part of it.

Gordon was as familiar as he had ever walked through the slums, but unlike before, the black trousers with a small amount of silk he wore now and the small white vest clearly did not match the environment here.

Unlike most of the citizens of Bath Town, most of the people in the slums have struggled to make ends meet.

Even most of them are the kind of people who have the numbness to die today regardless of tomorrow.

When they have earned enough food for the day, they are lazy and do not work.

This kind of person, at this time, is either asleep in a stuffy nest or wandering aimlessly outside.

And at this time, when the well-dressed Gordon appeared here, it attracted the attention of several sloppy people who were hanging out.

Although Gordon also lived in the slums before, he still worked hard, and although he had a hard time, he still did not starve and freeze in terms of food and shelter.

Ignoring the gazes of the other slum 'residents', Gordon made a quick walk to his quarters.

For these wastes, if Gordon was still dressed the same as before, he really didn't dare to provoke these guys.

But now, after the clothes were changed, they were adding a bit of courage to the guys not far away, and they didn't dare to come forward.

This is an incomparably materialistic time.

After passing through a dirty path, and after a few stares of astonishment and envy, Gordon stood in front of a sturdy log cabin.

When the door was opened, the small hut was furnished with only a wooden bed, a small table, a chair, and a lot of miscellaneous things.

Gordon pushed the door open and entered, heading straight for the long table in the corner.

In the memories of the original owner of Gordon, in the slums, it was very common for a room to be visited by thieves.

Therefore, hiding money has become a very important thing, and almost all of his savings over the years have been hidden here.

Moving away from the somewhat old long table, the bottom of the table legs has not been repositioned for a long time, leaving a visible mark on the floor everywhere on the legs.

Gordon didn't think much of it, and immediately after moving the long table, he took a hard thing from the room, crouched down in the corner, and slashed it according to the marks of the table's legs.

Soon, a small jar with a dark appearance and a rough texture was gouged out by Gordon.

After removing the dirt from the jar a little, Gordon pulled out the cork and snapped it on the table.

After a loud bang, a small pile of silver and copper coins immediately rolled all over the table.

Before he had time to count the savings of the original owner, Gordon immediately took out a small cloth bag from the room and filled it with all the coins.

As soon as he had collected the coins, Gordon walked out, only to reach the door and stop again.

When he returned to the house, he quickly took off his black trousers and white vest, and changed into the linen trousers and short sleeves he usually wore.

After picking up a few more useful things at home, Gordon walked out of the hut, closed the door, and strode out.
