Chapter 20: Wine and the Hidden Truth
Not long after entering the private room, the boss ran in with a bottle of wine, and by the way, he also brought three crystal glasses, and left a sentence of "slow use." So he went back to work.
Lanny sat on the sofa in a daze, thinking for a long time before he said a word, looking at Lin Ya's eyes became more and more strange, "Ninety gold coins! You bought a bottle of wine for ninety gold coins? You also said that they concealed something, I think the story you just told them is all made up, right?"
"Sort of," Lin Ya picked up the crystal cup and poured half a glass of wine, took a sip, thinking that it was really good wine, and poured another half a glass and pushed it in front of Lanny, "Taste it." ”
Lanny looked at the half glass of wine in front of him, and wanted to take a sip like drinking in a tavern, as soon as he raised the glass, he was stopped by Lin Ya, who said with disdain: "Drinking good wine is all to taste, how can you drink like this?" said and took another sip.
Lanny thought to himself, isn't it, the half glass of wine in his hand should be worth nine gold coins, if the nine gold coins let himself be bored, then he will definitely regret death, so he also learned Lin Ya to drink one sip at a time.
But he could only watch from the side, and he had been watching it for a long time.
Lin Ya saw that the people had given three cups, picked up the last crystal cup, and poured a glass of wine at the bottom of the cup, "The first time you drink, drink less." As he spoke, he put the glass in front of him.
The three of them drank one sip at a time, and suddenly the door of the private room was pushed open, and three exquisite Bran steaks were placed on the table. There was another "please slow down" and the door was gently closed by the waiter.
Seeing that the steak was not too hot, he didn't care about eating it, so he directly reached out and grabbed it and sent it to his mouth. Lin Ya didn't care about him, looking at the steak in front of him, it seemed that he had eaten it at Aoland's place before, picked up the knife and fork, and the standard Western way of eating. Lenny looked at the steak but didn't start for a long time, although she recommended it to eat here, but she never ate it, but she heard her father's mercenary friends often mention it.
I looked up and saw that these two had already started eating, and I looked at the Xuan, hey~It's too brutal, but Lin Ya's way of eating is so elegant, he must have eaten something similar, and he is so rich, the currency situation in this world is unified, one amethyst coin is equal to one hundred gold coins, one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to ten copper coins, an ordinary family, spending three gold coins a month is already very luxurious, but he spent ninety gold coins to buy a bottle of wine without blinking his eyes, and this dress is by no means mortal, what kind of background is he? muttering in his heart, he also began to learn from Lin Ya, holding a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, cutting the steak little by little.
After being full of wine and food, Lin Ya saw that he didn't seem to be full, and asked him for another steak. Lanny still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and couldn't help but ask, "Lin Ya, why are you so sure that Geraint and they have something to hide from us?"
Lin Ya picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly, "Ah~ Actually, it's nothing, do you think, why do they want to send a fine iron-level task?" Lin Ya came up and threw out a question.
Lenny hesitated for a moment and said, "Because the task of fine iron is more economical?"
Lin Ya shook his fingers, "No, no, no, I also talked about it just now, they are willing to pay me the same price as Qianlu, and they will pay twenty-seven silver coins for this task." ”
"yes, why is that?" Lenny was puzzled.
Lin Ya swore and said: "It's very simple, in this village, almost more senior mercenaries, to put it bluntly, no one will accept the task of sending copper." ”
Lenny listened to Lin Ya's analysis and directly squirted out the wine that had just been drunk in his mouth, startling the waiter who had just served Bran steak, and almost threw the steak away.
Lanny almost didn't laugh, thinking that this was Lin Ya's analysis, and he and himself were half a pound or two, so he forced a smile and asked, "So what? What's suspicious about this? Isn't it normal?"
Lin Ya looked at her like an idiot, and asked rhetorically: "Where is it normal? The task of escorting two people to Nalan City is not an uncommon task, but I have never seen anyone send this task as a copper task, this kind of task is enough to find a fine iron mercenary to do, or find a group of temporary group of mountain copper regiments is no problem." But they asked you to form a makeshift elite iron regiment, didn't you think it was strange at the time?"
Inexplicably being regarded as an idiot, Lanny was very annoyed, and said not to be outdone: "Didn't you say it just now? They are in a hurry, they don't take the official road, they have to go through the forest, and they may encounter demonic beasts, of course one iron mercenary is not enough!"
Lin Ya said with disdain again: "Heh, in a hurry? It's just an excuse, the people who build the official road are not stupid, they still understand the truth that the straight line between two points is the shortest, and taking the official road is not the same as going far." It takes three days to take the official road, and the forest path is shorter, but the road condition is definitely much worse than the official road, even if it takes less time than the official road, it is less than half a day. They also said that they were going to meet people, and they couldn't even wait half a day to meet each other? Don't you think it's ridiculous? And the funniest thing is that they would rather let you spend three days in a group than have the intention of going through the official road. There are only two possibilities, one is that they will encounter enemies on the official road, and the other is that they can't go through the official road, such as some inspection checkpoints. ”
Lanny was completely speechless, hearing what Lin Ya meant, he had already begun to suspect as soon as he went out, what kind of monster was he?
Lin Ya poured some more wine for Lenny, and directly picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, "Then let's go first, at the door of the hotel tomorrow morning, don't forget." Let's go. With that, the two walked out of the private room, leaving Lenny alone, helplessly reluctant to give up the wine in his hand, and continued to drink slowly.
"Boss, do you still have this wine?" said Lin Ya, who also raised the empty wine bottle in his hand and shook it a few times at the boss.
The boss smiled a few more wrinkles on his already smiling face, thinking that he was lucky today! ”
Lin Ya didn't hesitate, "Let's bring it all, in addition, we are going to stay here tonight, find us a room to put it." Oh, and there are going to be two beds. As he spoke, the white light flashed on his hand, and Lin Ya took out two amethyst coins from the magic ring again.
The boss promised to disappear like a smoke, and when he reappeared, he already had two more bottles of wine in his hand, and said embarrassedly: "Childe, I'm really sorry, it's not early, the room you want is gone, only a room with a double bed, you see ......" The hotel owner is just testing Lin Ya, as long as Lin Ya is a little unhappy, he will break his head and make a satisfactory room for him, he doesn't want to lose such a big customer like this.
Lin Ya thought to herself, a big bed is nothing, both of them are children, they must be able to sleep, it is estimated that there is no problem in sleeping with three peers, and the young man is also a boy, and there is no problem such as whether men and women are intimate. So I readily agreed.
The boss was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "410, the top floor, just go to the end, this is your key." As he spoke, the boss handed a golden key to Lin Ya with both hands. The boss is also smart in this trick, he has already earned Lin Ya's money for three bottles of wine, and he didn't mention the cost of staying in the hotel, if he just lived for a day or two, it would be free for others, if he didn't finish living, he would have to find Lin Ya to collect it again.
After taking the key, the two of them were exhausted at this time, experienced a life and death escape, and made do with it in the forest for another night, and then ran around for most of the day, especially Lin Ya also had a fight with other mercenaries. Now that they are full of wine and food, the two of them have only one idea, that is, to find a soft and comfortable bed to lie down for a while.
Without saying a word, he went straight to the fourth floor, came to the room at the top, picked up the golden key and opened the door, and as soon as the door opened, both of them couldn't help but be stunned. The decoration of this 410 is really good, the walls are pasted with pale yellow gold wire wallpaper, all the corners of the furniture are gilded and shiny, and the floor is also black and bright, giving people an indescribable sense of luxury.
The two looked around, but they didn't see the bed, but they saw another door, Lin Ya shook his head, is this the presidential suite?
Pushing open the bedroom door again, this time a large bed that occupied nearly half of the bedroom came into view, and Lin Ya walked directly to the bed. When he saw that Lin Ya was lying down directly, he looked at the room and saw that there was only one bed in the room, turned around and walked to the living room, and was about to go to the sofa, but Lin Ya's voice came from the bedroom, "Come here." ”
He frowned and slowly walked to the bed.
"Lie in bed, I have something to talk to you about. Lin Ya patted the position beside him and said.
Since Lin Ya said so, Qian Lu no longer hesitated, and also lay down, waiting to see what Lin Ya wanted to talk about with him.
"I think we had some misunderstanding or something. Lin Ya sighed and said, "We walked for a day, and you were willing to share the story of the goblin with me, which made me very happy, but why did you do everything lame after that? Even when people asked you if you could touch your ears, your first reaction was to look at me?" Lin Ya had already discovered the abnormality of Qianru, and because of the large number of people, he didn't tell Qianlu until he stayed in the hotel, and Lin Ya decided that he had to explain the matter to Qianlu.
"I, I just don't know how to get along with humans, when I should do what I should do, and I don't know what to say. Your way of doing things is completely different from ours. ”
