Chapter Forty-Six: A Day Trip by Carriage
Daniel reacted more to Crete's words than Luca. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The Temple, in this place!" he shouted, standing up, drawing the eyes of the diners around him.
Lukka hurriedly tugged at the front of his materialized clothes and sat him down again: "Be quiet......"
The barmaid happened to bring over the three glasses of ale they had ordered, and when she heard Daniel's shout, she said with a fluttering eyebrow: "The Knight's Temple is a good place!
"Tourists, is it still open to the public?" Daniel's eyes widened.
"It's impossible to open it to the outside world, but the temple building is so beautiful, if you don't go to see it, don't tell others that you've been to Layton Island! I heard that a while ago, there were apprentices from the empire who studied architecture, and they came all the way to see the knight's temple!"
The plump young woman said as she pulled out a piece of paper with her body temperature from her chest:
"From here, the mountain road is a little difficult to walk! Take this, go to Uncle Lane's carriage and horse shop, report my name, and give you a 20% discount!"
Lukka took the advertising card and waved his hand away, the kind of advertising routine he had seen a lot before he came through.
However, the business routine of the Sunset Islands has probably not developed to such a frenzied level, and the price on the card is clearly marked, and compared with the distance on the map, it is still a fair price.
Five kilometers was not a long journey, but considering that it was all mountain roads, and that Luca now had some silver coins in his pocket, he finally decided to hire a carriage at the carriage shop.
"Shall we go now? Wait for the two ladies?" asked Daniel, hesitantly.
"Well, when they come back, who knows where the source of mana will be taken. The two of them can take care of themselves, and they will leave a message at the tavern for them to go back to the ship first. Lukka said as he gathered his things and stood up.
When he arrived at the carriage shop on the edge of town, Lukka immediately understood why the price on his card was so affordable.
Today, almost all the streets of Layton Harbor are filled with various floats, and the crowds from the surrounding islands have blocked both sides of the streets.
Uncle Lane's carriage has a large frame, and it is no problem to fit a dozen people as a bus, but now he does not dare to run into the city, no wonder he hires people to distribute advertisements for tourist routes outside the city.
There are very few visitors to the whole carriage and horse shop, and probably those advertisements are not very useful, but if you think about it, you know who will run out of the city on the day of the carnival.
"Hire a car? A day trip to the back mountain, chartered car back and forth, plus a tour guide, I will charge you ten silver coins per person today! Lane car dealership, comfortable and safe!" Uncle Lane looked like he was in his early fifties, and his eyes lit up when he saw the customers who had finally entered the door.
"Hmm...... We don't need a tour guide, we can drive ourselves, can it be cheaper?" Luca asked.
"Driving by yourself? That's not good, my horse has a bad temper, you can't control it." Ryan immediately refused.
"Didn't you just say 'comfortable and safe', and if a horse has a bad temper, it can be considered safe?" asked Luca, pointing to the two horses pulling the cart.
"That's not what I mean, it's ......" Ryan simply refused in a different way, "Okay, it's okay to drive, but the price remains the same, and you need to pay a deposit of five hundred silver coins." ”
"No problem!" Lukka is now very wealthy, and he doesn't blink an eye when he takes out five hundred silver coins, not to mention that this is just a deposit, as long as the carriage is not damaged by him, he can take it back at that time.
Ryan didn't expect the other party to agree so happily, but the words had already been spoken, and what the businessman was most afraid of was a temporary reversal, so he had to reluctantly take Luca to an open carriage in the backyard.
The carriage was very different from the one that was placed on the side of the road to solicit business, the paint on the carriage was so rubbed that it was almost impossible to see the color, and several pieces of it showed the background color of wood, and the horses pulling the carriage were still in good spirits.
"Is this okay......" Lukka beat his heart.
Crete stepped forward and tapped the spokes of the wheels with his hand, nodded and said, "This car is okay, but the exterior paint is not refurbished, the frame is strong, and the axles and wheels are in good condition." ”
Ryan, the owner of the car dealership, was surprised, he originally wanted to mislead this shabby looking carriage so that Luca and the others would dispel their original thoughts, but he didn't expect to meet someone who knew so much about carriages.
Lukka pulled out his wallet, counted out ten large silver coins with a face value of fifty, and pulled out three medium silver coins with a face value of ten from his coat pocket, and handed them to Ryan.
Under Lane's worried gaze, Crete skillfully drove the carriage away from the west gate of Layton Harbor.
The road was not smooth, and the carriage was certainly not fast, but as Crete said, although the car looked a little miserable on the outside, the inner foundation was good enough, and it was not too bumpy.
As soon as he drove less than two hundred meters, there was a sudden shout of extreme dissatisfaction from behind.
"Bastard, you left me behind!Idiot!Pig's head!Stop me!" Shut up, not only was he unforgiving, but he also flapped his wings and slapped Lukka's head indiscriminately.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss! the location of the mana source has changed!" Lukka covered his hair with his hand, and finally explained to the parrot.
When he finally relented, Crete asked, "What did you hear? How many of Blacksail's men were there? What are they doing here?"
"Ahh But they do have to do bad things!
"Don't be aside, what the hell are they going to do?" Luca said in a tone that was not very polite, but he took a few peanuts from his pocket with his right hand and handed them over.
Shut up and took the peanuts, squinted at them and said, "They're going to poison the reservoir!"
Lukka took a deep breath and asked, "The reservoir you're talking about, the reservoir that holds the icebergs, the reservoir that provides water for the entire town of Leighton?"
Shut up and nod as he ate peanuts.
"And what are they going to poison?" Lukka asked.
"It's like it's called 'Pansy,' and they made five big barrels on the boat. Shut up and replied.
"Pansy, isn't that just an ordinary flower?" Lukka remembered the plant well, remembering that its sap had a miraculous effect on the pimples on his face.
"It's not that kind of flower, 'Pansy' is a poison developed in the Imperial Laboratory, it looks like a crystal of three colors, and Black Sail can get this. Crete's face became more serious.
"What about the dose?" Lukka asked again, where he remembered looking, talking about toxicity aside from the dose was a hooligan.
"If I'm not mistaken, the lethal dose is 0.1 grams. The permanent population of Leighton Harbour is 6,400, and the number of visitors to the carnival will not exceed 20,000. If those barrels were full of poison, it would be enough for these people to be poisoned hundreds of times. Crete said worriedly.
