Chapter 120: People don't look for people for everything
Ti Yan disappeared, and disappeared out of thin air with lightning speed in front of her eyes, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye.
Proud of the fact that she has returned to Fuma's side.
Teng Erfagen was very surprised by Tiyan's sudden departure, but since Ao Zongheng said that he had sent her away early, he had no reason to dwell on it.
Of the twenty-two rescued women, Ao Zongheng only knew one of them, so he could take his leave now, anyway, he had already given an account, sent these women to the Kaikaisha Alliance, and then waited for the women to inform someone to pick them up, and then received a reward of 8,000 silver coins to return. With these 8,000 silver coins, this escort finally gave the head of the Han a little benefit.
Everyone is happy, except for arrogance.
Of course, it was a good thing that Ti Yan and Fuma were reunited, but the long-disappeared ring spirit only appeared for a moment, recited a spell and fell silent again. Arrogant called out a few words, but there was no response.
Ao Zongheng wanted to ask the ring spirit a few questions, but the other party was obviously watching all the way but pretended not to be there, and Ao Zongheng could only give up on this.
Now it's time to go north.
Ao Zongheng had already looked at the family tree of the Shernarshak family in Lu Erpang, and there was indeed no name of Lance Keitel Lebodin Norio du Schernasak, so he could only go to the next stop now - the imperial capital of the Great Bogar Empire, Polontesa.
Polontaisha is located in the middle of the empire, about five or six hundred miles away from the Mori Gang, a distance that takes about half a month to travel at a proud speed. If he fails in Polontaisha, he will have to go north, and counting the time of the return trip, he will just be able to catch the Sleeve Mage qualification exam in the month of the month of the Evil Breaker - he promised Fei Lin to go to the ceremony.
If you only count the distance, the time is enough, but you can't delay much on the road, so Ao Zongheng decided not to be idle along the way, and not to trouble others.
However, in this world, it is often not people looking for things, but things looking for people, especially when you don't want to find things.
The Hapanbemu Plain is the largest plain in the empire, and probably one of the largest plains on the Tambro continent, with an area close to one and a half Loren Magaga kingdoms, formed by the alluvial accumulation of the Hanutu River, the main east-west river in the Tambro continent, and its tributaries over thousands of years.
Such a huge alluvial plain, located in the middle of the empire, is undoubtedly the main point of the empire's transportation, and it is also the granary of the empire, with about one-tenth of the territory, but the stable output of about three-and-a-half percent of the grain.
Jidan Kuankai is one of the Sakai on the Habang Bemu Plain.
On the seventeenth day of the month of death, the wind is four.
Along the way, according to his habits, Ao Zongheng does not enter Sakai, only settles in the circle, these small places are not even stray sleeve mages, let alone the leading mage of the Fa Management Department, there are many people who are curious about Ao Zongheng, but there are very few people who dare to come up and speak, let alone come to find trouble or ask him for help - small places are generally fine and need to work so hard that the mage master, even if there is, they can't afford to give that honorarium.
So Aozong finally calmed down for a few days.
It wasn't until he stayed at one of the best hotels in Hajisi that he was still feeling good.
The existence of the best hotels proves that there are other hotels that are not the best, and there can be more than one hotel in a small estate, even in an empire of 30 million people. There is no other reason, there are many people, and the population of other small circles is between two or three thousand, and here in Jidan Kuankai, there are 4,000 residents in any circle - the land of fish and rice, which can naturally attract residents to settle down, and there are more residents, and various living needs have increased accordingly.
There were even two inns, so there were naturally more taverns, and Ao Zongheng took a little time to find a store that looked like the largest storefront, but he hadn't ordered any wine yet, and the bartender took out a bottle of wine, saying that as long as the Master Master was willing to answer a few small questions from him, he would give this bottle of wine as a gift to Master Mage.
The wine is sealed in a Thomkhamu bottle, which is a very expensive glass wine bottle, because this kind of bottle will be blown at the bottom of the bottle with the winery's emblem, which means that every Thomkamu bottle is made by the winery, and the only ones who will use this kind of wine bottle are those wines that sell particularly expensive.
The emblem on the bottle reads South Flicasa Winery, a winery that even Prides has heard of – not the oldest, but one that has been among the best in the empire for centuries. His family's brewing wine is known as the treasure of the imperial wines, and it is said that half of the annual production of the South Phocasa winery is purchased by the imperial court, and the remaining half can be sold freely. The so-called free sale is faced with the scramble of tens of thousands of nobles and wealthy people, who, although they themselves do not show up, will send shrewd agents to stay near the South Phocasa winery ten days before the annual bottling of the god of Ame, and try to get a larger share. With the scramble of these agents, the vast majority of South Flakasa wineries have already identified their owners before the day the free sale begins.
There is a piece of hemp paper on the bottle in the bartender's hand, which is another logo of the wine of the South Phocasa Winery, on which the name of the winery, the name of the wine and the number that should indicate the year are written in the Segan Pulu script, Emperor 479, this is the year of the harvest of the raw materials of this bottle of wine - the year of the imperial calendar 479 years, according to the tradition of the South Phocasa winery, this wine was bottled last year, and it is still a new bottle of wine in terms of the wine of the South Phocasa winery, which can be aged for dozens or even hundreds of years
Proud of his love of wine, the almost completely unfamiliar and subversive world of Pleuz provides him with one of the great pleasures of knowing and enjoying the wine of this world. But after all, he is burdened with the heavy responsibility of killing gods, he can't have too much time and energy to devote to the world of wine, and it is already very impressive to be able to understand and remember so much in a short period of time, as for whether the four hundred and seventy-ninth year of the imperial calendar is the best year for the gin wine of the South Phokasa Winery, it is impossible for him to know, so he can only roughly guess the value of this bottle of wine.
An ordinary bottle of local wine is about three or four ghazals, and it is not uncommon for a famous wine like this, even if it is a new wine, to be hundreds of times more expensive, that is, five or six polin silver.
This bottle of wine is equal to the income of an ordinary person for two months or more.
If someone takes out a few silver coins to answer a few questions, Ao Zongheng will not lose his temper, but he will definitely not accept it, but this guy takes out such a bottle of famous wine, but he is throwing himself into Aozong's favor, although he doesn't like these low-intensity brewed wines very much, but the picture is fresh and rare, how can a person with good wine not be tempted? Just answer a few questions, Ao Zongheng will not refuse.
"Is Master Master here for the Gaodan Baf family, or for the Gulim family?" was the first question.
"I don't understand what you mean, I don't know these two families. Ao Zongheng replied very simply, he didn't expect the other party to ask this kind of question, the other party was probably a little misunderstood.
The bartender was stunned, "Master Mage doesn't know them, so why are you here here?"
"Of course I don't know, I'm just passing by, I'll leave tomorrow. Do you have any other questions?"
"Uh, no. The bartender's expression seemed to want to scold his mother, but in the face of the leader of the legal management department, how dare he scold, so he had to hand the bottle of gin wine of the South Phrauca Winery to Ao Zongheng with a reluctant face.
Ao Zongheng naturally knew why he was unwilling, but he didn't care, and instantly received the wine into the borrowing ring, and he planned to give this wine to Fei Lin as a congratulatory gift to celebrate his becoming a Sleeve Mage - Ao Zongheng didn't seem to have considered the possibility of Fei Lin passing the Sleeve Mage qualification exam at all, in his opinion, the remaining two months were just the wait that Fei Lin had to go through when he became a Sleeve Mage.
Aozong ordered two other bottles of wine, a bottle of table wine, a bottle of after-dinner dessert wine, all of which are locally produced, as the main grain producing area, the raw grain here in the Habang Bemu Plain is naturally not bad, so even if it is not a local self-brewed winery produced by the winery, the quality is quite stable, and it has a good reputation.
This kind of combination of drinking two kinds of wine at one meal is a very particular dining habit in the food culture of the Tambro continent, although it is still very crude compared with the practices of the nobles, but in the folk, it is already a rich family's way of eating, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is also compatible with the identity of the leader of the arrogant legal management department.
However, other people's meals are mainly meals, supplemented by wine, and they only drink one or two glasses at a meal. Someone like Aozong asked for a whole bottle of table wine, but the wine was not finished yet, and the food was already in the stomach.
Luckily, he had other snacks
"Smack", Ao Zongheng patted two Guyi on the bar (the intermediate currency value unit of the currency in circulation of the Great Bogar Empire, one Guyi is equal to seven Ghazal), "The two families you mentioned just now, there must be some story between them, I'm bored with drinking, tell me about it, it's wonderful, I'll give you two more Guyi." ”
The bartender had been keeping an eye on Aozhu, and in his heart he still didn't believe that there would be a legal leader who would "accidentally pass by" this inconspicuous little circle at this sensitive time, but this was just an unsubstantiated feeling. Hearing the words of the mage, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile - the bottle of wine is the boss, and those questions are also what the boss wants to ask, and it has nothing to do with me, but these two Gu Yi are in their own pockets, anyway, this is not a secret, and the boss can't say anything about it, so why don't you earn it?
Just like the Shernashak family in Lu Erpang, the Gaodanambaf family and the Gulim family are the nobles near Hajisiyuan, in fact, it is a bit reluctant to say that they are nearby, and their fiefs are not in Hajisiyuan, and the fiefs of the two families are further apart, and they have to walk for half a day.
Jidan Kankai is a wealthy Sakai, and the nobles who can be sealed here, that family is naturally much stronger than the Shernashak family of Lu Erpang, and although the Gaoda Nanbaf family and the Gurimu family are not the most prominent nobles in Sakai, they can be regarded as first-rate in the Hajisi Yuanyuan. The head of the Gaoda Nanba family is the third-in-command of the Imperial Ministry of Architecture, and he is not very old, and he will succeed the secretary of architecture in the future, and the call for promotion to the courtier is not low. The head of the Gulimu family is a Sakai governor, and he loses a little bit on the cards, but the Gulimu family has many kinship families, and the background and connections are dominant.
The two families have settled in the fiefdom for nearly a hundred years, and until three months ago, the two families had almost no contact, but because of a natural disaster, the two families not only got acquainted, but also formed an incompatible feud.
