012 If you can't afford to pay, you can only pay for it
The door of the old bone hotel looked helplessly at a few guys coming in and out, trembling, with a soft sound, the front teeth on the signboard couldn't stand the continuous shaking, and finally fell off. After swallowing the young travelers, the gate looked triumphantly at the crystal deep in the ground, and if it was conscious, it probably felt that although it was a handful of years, it might be able to save it again.
"I'm sorry, Zhuge , but I didn't expect that I almost failed General Balkin's will. Enleko said sincerely, holding up a glass of colorless liquid on the table in front of him and saluting the black-haired man, he continued, "Indeed, as you said, staying alive is the primary goal right now. ”
"Everybody's on the same page, and that's good. Zhuge looked at the other party's raised cup with an embarrassed face, the smell of alcohol overflowing from the cup made him have some bad memories, and many times the scene of drinking down under the instruction of the leader was like a slide flashback, and this guy in front of him was actually holding a high degree of wine! He tried to hide the fact that he was not good at drinking, and hurriedly changed the topic, he said, "Drink less, after all, the danger has not passed." ”
Enleko nodded, and suddenly turned to Fred, who was eating and drinking beside him, and he reminded the other party vigorously: "Do you hear? Drink less, you will have to hurry in a while." ”
"Uh-huh......" The strong man was struggling to shove the steak into his mouth, and his speech was slurred, but the others finally understood what he meant.
"Don't worry about the journey beforehand, we'd better sum up the rest first. The black-haired man believes that people must have near-term worries without long-term concerns, and everything important should be planned in advance, so as to ensure that they can avoid detours as much as possible, so he continued, "We are now in the period of entrepreneurship, but we may need to work a few jobs for a living temporarily, but before working, we must always understand the trend of the market and our own advantages." ”
"What is entrepreneurship and what is the market?" said Kabore, who was a little confused, and the brunette man would always say something new from his mouth.
"Uh. Zhuge organized the language, and he continued to explain, "We have no money, no equipment, and no manpower except for these people, so it can be said that we are destitute, and it is a fool's dream to counterattack the empire. ”
The crowd at the round table stopped eating, and even the steak that Fred had just stuffed into his mouth was temporarily spared the fate of being chewed and swallowed.
"The most important goal is to establish a territory of our own on this land. The dark-haired man tapped the handle of his fork on the table slightly, emphasizing the point of his remarks, and continued, "Based on that goal, all that's left is to revolve around how to achieve it." ”
"That's really 'treason'......" Fred forgot that the steak was still in his mouth, he accidentally bit his tongue, and the pain made him step on the floor "bang", and the waitresses at the bar in the distance couldn't help but watch, and even a few people were walking towards it.
"Watch what you say and do, Fred. Enleko felt that he was really unlucky, and he vowed to teach this reckless fellow a good lesson for a while, "Can you use your brain more before you speak?"
Fred didn't answer for a while, because he was struggling with the numbness from the tip of his tongue, and it took him a while to recover, and he said, "Didn't you say that I have a simple mind and developed limbs?
"Damn, that's not praising you!"
However, the farce was temporarily interrupted by the waitress.
"Sir, do you need any services?" It was Mina and another girl, it seemed that there was too much movement on my side, so it would be better to let the others pay attention to their behavior, Zhuge thought.
So he smiled at the girl with the scent of "orchid grass" and said, "Is it my friend who is influencing you?" I'm really sorry, I'll remind them later. ”
"No, Mr. Zhuge Looking at the bewitching face of the black-haired man, she felt that her cheeks were a little hot, and Mina unconsciously lowered her voice, which made Zhuge can't help but get closer. Mina continued, "Do you need the sisters to talk to you? ”
The girl next to her looked like a lively type, and she turned her head to look at Mina incredulously, and said with some fuss, "Nana, what's wrong with you? It's not like you." ”
"What's wrong with me?" Mina looked at the other in surprise as she reached out and touched her face, "Is there anything strange?"
"My Nana will never take the initiative to receive guests, but it doesn't matter, I'll help you, who made me your cute little branch?" The other party snickered, she looked around at the guests on the round table, and secretly compared it to have her own plan, she walked directly to Zhuge and whispered a few words in her ear next to him.
The dark-haired man turned his head to look at Mina, and the expression on his face seemed strange.
Mina hurriedly stepped forward, she pulled away the twig and asked, "What did you say to the guest?"
"It's nothing, I'm just telling my husband that Mina only takes the initiative with those she likes. Xiaozhi greeted her female companion and said fearlessly.
But Mina's face became more rosy, and she stopped talking and immediately struck, chasing the escaped twig into the inner room of the hotel.
The mysterious girl was still calm, she looked up at Zhuge again, and then at Kabore, who looked like her face, her eyes fluctuated, thinking thoughtfully about something.
The stunned Zhuge looked at the backs of the two women, which made him even more determined to take a closer look at his appearance. Then he shook it, as if to throw the boring thing out of his mind, and he turned back to the topic he had said, and said to Enhleko, "You were the sheriff of Folante County, and it borders the so-called Bann Realm, is there any information about this?"
"Do you know, but what do you need?" asked Nhleko.
"It's a difference in customs. Zhuge pondered how to make the problem concrete, and then he added, "As far as I know, the Mithra Empire belongs to the central dictatorship, so what is the situation in this land?"
"Understanding this may inspire us in the future development direction. ”
Looking at Enleko's clear expression, Zhuge understood that the other party had grasped the point, perhaps this was one of the advantages of being a magistrate for a long time.
"The reason why this place is called Bann Realm is precisely because it is completely different from the Misra Empire, and has not really formed a unified state. ”
"No nation?" the black-haired man asked rhetorically, "so how did this land guarantee itself from being annexed by the Empire?"
"Ethnicity, creed, topography, climate, and other factors that are incompatible with the empire are all reasons, but the most important thing is that although there are large and small lords in Bane, the long-term strife has maintained a good fighting power on the one hand, and it is also a small fight, and on the other hand, if there is a war with other countries, it will devote all its strength to launch a 'holy war'. ”
"'Holy War'?" it sounded like a terrorist organization, but Zhuge still grasped the point and asked, "As you mentioned earlier, these large and small lords are constantly fighting each other, so why hasn't there ever been a powerful lord who has unified the whole territory?"
This question was indeed something that Enleko hadn't considered before, but the other party thought hard and still gave a directional answer: "Perhaps, it's because the main god who guards this land, Bane, doesn't like unity and order, right?"
As a staunch atheist, he does not have the slightest sense of awe for these so-called main gods, in his cognition, the so-called main gods in this world are just more powerful existences, but at the moment, they may really need some powerful beings as their backing to achieve their goals.
In other words, it may be some kind of opportunity to meet these people by chance and get involved in such an incident.
"It's a coincidence that you fled here, but maybe this is the place where fate led us to start a business. Zhuge smiled, in this world without mobile phones and computers, there may be more interesting things waiting for you than "Glory of Kings".
Enleko lowered his head, stuffed a cut steak into his mouth, and thoughtfully responded to the black-haired man's remarks, he turned his head in the direction of Kabore and the others, and said: "Archmage Andrew once reminded me of where to go in the future, I think that the wise man must have a deep meaning in putting his hiding place in Fuanteshire. ”
"Maybe it's because the thinking of a long-term imperial soldier has limited itself, and I haven't thought too deeply about it. ”
Zhuge replied with a smile: "This is called thinking solidification. In my hometown, I often tell people to look at things from a different perspective. An old man whom I respect very much once said that all enemies are 'paper tigers', and difficulties exist objectively, but there are many ways to solve them. ”
"And what's next?" Enleko asked, the glass in front of Fred empty out of the corner of his eye.
"Next, pay the bill!" Wiping the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, Zhuge spread his hands, and he said a little scoundrelly, "Don't look at me, I don't have any money." ”
"Oh money, some of it...... Hiccup. Fred staggered to his feet and began to walk to the bar.
"It's not that you should drink less. Nhleko stepped forward, took his bag, and then pressed Fred to his side and sat down, letting him slow down.
However, the payment time was a bit long, and there was a dispute from the bar, and subconsciously Zhuge remembered the word "urine escape".
The dark-haired man smiled wryly, it seemed that it would take some time to correct the concept of the past world, so he walked to the bar, where the girls gathered. Vaguely, some conversations reached his ears.
"Sir, the currency of the Mithra Empire cannot be used here. The agent tossed a gold coin in his hand and added, "Only Bane coins can be used here." ”
"That's unreasonable, you see, it's a real gold coin, a gold coin!" Enleko emphasized.
"No, no, sir, I spent a total of 2 Bane Gold Coins just now, please settle the bill. The other party did not back down.
"Is there a place where you can exchange money?" Enhleko's tone softened.
"This is the Elan Shield, if you want to exchange it, please try your luck in Zorn City. The girl insisted, "But before that, settle the bill." ”
"Zorn City, 3,600 kilometers away, just to pay for two gold coins?" Glenleko grumbled in disbelief.
Zhuge stepped forward, with the same smile as always, and asked the girl in front of the bar.
"Dear, can you pay for it?"
