Chapter 22: The Tall Buildings of the Moon
Alan came to the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and explained the reason to the steward.
It's still the reception room from last time, but the difference is that at this time, it's Allen who is sitting on the guest seat and drinking tea.
"Congratulations to Knight Allen, he is already a full-fledged knight at a young age, and his future achievements are sure to be extraordinary. Betty glanced at the mercenary badge that Alan hung on her chest, and she understood it at once.
"I wish to accept your good words. Alan paused, and then said, "I came here this time to convey Master Fang Yun's wishes. ”
The little woman listened. Betty looked solemn, this matter is about her future, although more than ten days have passed since the auction incident, but the impact left behind is not something that can be eliminated in the short term.
"The Master has agreed to cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce. However, the master has a little request, and I hope your chamber of commerce can agree. ”
"Say that we will do everything we can. Betty confidently promised.
"The master doesn't like strangers to disturb him, and I ask your chamber of commerce not to inquire about the master's information privately. Alan said thoughtfully in order to ensure the mystery of the master.
"That's fine, I can guarantee that the Gold Coin Chamber will never bother the master. Betty was stunned, although the Chamber of Commerce secretly sent someone to investigate some time ago, but nothing was found, could it be that the master was aware of it? It seems that the Chamber of Commerce must quickly stop the investigation, but it can't annoy the master because of this.
"That's good, Master Fang Yun has already entrusted me with the equipment that needs to be consigned in your Chamber of Commerce, and I will bring it to you tomorrow. ”
"That's so much appreciated. ”
......
After negotiating with the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, Alan couldn't find anything to do for a while. He simply went directly to the high-rise hotel located at the junction of the market area and the civilian area, intending to find out Anthony's whereabouts first.
"Sorry, little brother, we don't have a bard named Anthony staying at our inn during this time. The proprietress of the high-rise inn, Delia, replied to the child in front of her, apparently attracted by the bard.
"Oh. Well, thank you. Alan walked out of the hotel with a dejected expression. Turning around, the high-rise inn was indeed the tallest of the surrounding two-story buildings, with a full five floors.
Could it be that the time is wrong, and you must see it in the month?
But the moon is also coming soon, three days later.
Alan returned in vain, but he looked forward to the arrival of Chang Yue even more.
The time was clearly unusually long in the anxious wait. For three days, Alan felt like a year every day, and when he thought of the mysterious wizard, his heart was filled with fiery longing.
On this night, the everlasting moon came as promised, and seven rounds of the same bright moon shone on the earth, dispelling the shadows of the long night.
Alan arrived at the high-rise hotel, still asking Delia about it.
"It's you, little brother, we still don't have a bard to live here. ”
"How so? Could it be that I misunderstood?" Alan muttered as he left the inn, unconsciously making his way to the civilian quarters.
The streets were a little crowded with two-story dilapidated buildings, one after another, and civilians who had worked hard all day returned to their homes one after another, setting up stoves in the corridors of the buildings, lighting fires, and cooking. The civilians who had come back earlier had already finished their dinner, and now they gathered in the streets in twos and threes, chatting to the people around them about the interesting things they had encountered today.
Alan also blended into the atmosphere here, wandering aimlessly, listening to the conversation of the people on the side of the road, and stopping to listen when he found it interesting.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting in front of me.
"The in the countryside still dares to talk back, and he can't kill you......"
Punching and kicking, a thin figure on the ground curled up as best he could, protecting the vital points on his body.
Cowardice is the original sin, and Alan has become accustomed to this, and is about to ignore it directly, but he inadvertently makes a new discovery.
After scanning, comparing the relationship database, the person in front of him was Duke. ”
"Duke of Sequoia Village, then you can't sit idly by. ”
Allen stepped forward and directly punched the thug who beat people to the ground, and his little brother next to him didn't let go, and repaired it fiercely.
That's when Alan picked up Duke. Duke was curled up with his head in his hands, but suddenly the person who beat him didn't move, a little curious about what was going on, and when he looked up, it was Allen, who he hadn't seen for a year, who came to help.
"Duke, how are you? Are you alright?" asked Allen.
"Well, it's okay, it's just skin trauma. When Duke saw Allen, he was emotional for a moment and said in a choked voice.
"What's going on? Aren't you supposed to be studying art, why are you here?" asked Allen, looking at the street thugs rolling on the ground in pain.
"They look down on the country and often bully people. Duke twitched, blew his nose, and continued: "My apprenticeship was only one year, and now that the year is over, I don't want to go back like this, so I have to find a place to stay in the civilian area to see if I can find something to do." ”
"By the way, what art did you study?"
"Mineral exploration ......" Duke was a little embarrassed.
"Well, the village chief wants to develop the mountain behind the village? "Not to mention, the village chief is very economically minded.
"Then why don't you want to go back after you study?" asked Alan then.
"Life in the mountains is not as good as in the city. Duke lowered his head, Xu felt that in front of his fellow villagers, his thoughts were a little sorry for the village.
Alan patted Duke on the shoulder, showing understanding. At the same time, he is also thinking about how to help, maybe Jason is short of people, he has a lot of plans, and he must cultivate people he can trust. And Duke, looking at the character is also not bad.
"I might be able to help introduce you to a job, but it can be a bit risky. Alan said to Duke.
"Really? I'm not afraid. Just eat and live. Duke said eagerly that he had been living a bad life and that he had already had other ideas.
"Haha, I'm sure I'll take care of it. Let's go, then. ”
"Wait. But Duke walked up to the thugs and kicked him over.
"Tell you to bully me. ”
Several thugs took turns enjoying Duke's revenge, and the screams on the ground were even louder.
Alan Waner smiled, maybe Duke would be a good helper, it depends on whether Jason will use people.
He took Duke back to the blacksmith shop and rested for the night, and the next morning, Alan led Duke into the inner city and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. Explain to the guards the purpose of visiting Jason, and soon Alan and Duke meet Jason.
"Yo, Master Allen has come to the City Lord's Mansion in person, has the sun come out of the west in my City Lord's Mansion?" Jason made a gesture of looking west at the sky, smiling and quipping.
"I don't know where the sun from the City Lord's Mansion came from, I only know that the moon from the City Lord's Mansion is set on you. "Alan is serious nonsense.
"Haha, Alan, you're humorous, who is this?" Jason asked, pointing to Duke behind Alan.
"Your reinforcements. Alan blinked and said.
"Huh?" Jason looked puzzled.
"That's right, he's my partner in Sequoia Village, and he wants to find something to do, and I thought that you might be short of people here, so I brought it here. He is innocent, and you can use it with confidence. Alan no longer played dumb and explained it clearly in one breath.
"Hehe, the master still understands my heart, how about it, or you can also be wronged and used by me. Jason teased his eyes and looked at Alan with bad intentions.
"Get out. Alan simply ignored it.
