Chapter 35: The Squire and the Carriage

At night, the Crow Tavern is bustling with activity.

Ma Lin has drunk too much, and he is hugging Shi Fatzi and talking about his plan to make a fortune. Shi Fatzi's eyes lit up, and he poured him another glass of ale without listening to Marin's teaching, and then pulled Yuri and Telman to the side to whisper.

Lorist pushed the door in, said hello to Garrylando behind the counter, and sat down next to Marin. In the afternoon, after taking a steam bath with President Peterson, he felt a little tired, so he went home and slept, and when he woke up, it was already dark, and he hurried here.

Master Marin opened his drunken eyes and said, "Loloke, you're late, let's have a drink first......"

"Brother Marlin, how many glasses have you drunk, and why are you so drunk?"

It's over, and I'm going to be nagged by his wife again when I send Marin back at night. However, Lorist decided not to think about this for now, it was important to fill his stomach, and he was hungry before dinner. Called a few times to the tavern's new maid Molly, who was very happy to see Lorlist, and while asking Lorist what she wanted, he complained that he hadn't come to the tavern to see her for so long, and if he wanted to stay at night?

Looking at Molly's more and more sexy body, Lorist also moved in his heart, it's been a month since the last time, and he was so busy in the academy that he couldn't really remember coming to the tavern if he hadn't paid his salary today. In this way, the days when Sister Louise and Old Gal got married are only a few months away, and I haven't thought about what gift to give.

However, looking at the Marin teacher lying on the table, Lorist shook his head: "I'm sorry, Molly, I've been so busy this time, I invited this big brother to drink today, and I have to send him back for a while, so I can't stay here." In a few days. ”

Molly snorted unhappily and said coldly, "Wait." "And left.

However, as a maid, Molly has not forgotten her duty, and soon the feast that Lorist wants is delivered. Before he could eat a few bites of fried rice, Fat Shi sat in front of Lorist, naturally grabbed the roast goose on the table, broke one leg and began to chew.

"Damn, have you washed your hands? Lorist scolded.

"If you don't eat, I can do it for you. Yuri also came, and he was even more ruthless, and directly served the roast goose to the whole plate.

"Brothers, I want to beat my autumn wind again today, and tell you, except for Brother Marin's, you will pay for your own accounts tonight. ”

"This is easy to do," Shi Fatzi spit out the goose leg bone, waved his hand to beckon the maid over, pointed to the Marin teacher on the table and said, "Brother Marin still wants, one, two, three...... Five or six people came with six bottles of black plum fruit wine, and two barrels of black plum ale wine, and by the way, asked Chef Mai to serve a few more good dishes to these two tables for him. ”

When the Marin teacher on the table heard his own name, he raised his head and held up his wine glass and said, "Okay, cheers..."

"Day, this is okay, count you ruthless, Shi Fatty. Lorist was dumbfounded, and the food fell from his mouth.

"Yay!" Knocking on the Lorist bamboo pole again, Shi Fat Man and Yuri clapped their hands in celebration......

was making a fuss, and suddenly a person rushed straight over, came to Lorist and knelt down directly, which made Lorist jump up: "What's wrong with you?"

The man said loudly, "I want to worship you as a teacher!

......

Shi Fat Yuri They are also stunned, what is the situation?

"I want to learn sword from you, I've watched your duel for a month, I was bad before, I shouldn't say that you are just a black iron rank and are not worthy of teaching me, I was wrong, I apologize to you!"

"Brother Locke, he's the bastard boy I told you about, and now he regrets it. At some point, El appeared at Lorlist's side, and took a bottle of black plum wine from the plate held by the maid Sarah: "Another bottle." ”

"You pay for this bottle. Lorist hurriedly stated in advance that the six bottles of black plum fruit wine that Shi Fat Man asked for in the name of Marin's teaching were making his flesh hurt, and one bottle cost a big silver coin.

"It's okay, let's pay the bill together, Brother Locke is just talking. El dismissed the maid Sarah lightly, then patted Lorist on the shoulder and said, "Sit down, brother, and consider whether to accept him or not." ”

He pointed to the boy who was kneeling on the ground.

Alas, I can't get by, Lorist sighed inwardly, and carefully looked at the young man who was kneeling on the ground. Well, what El said is right, although this kid is only sixteen years old, he is tall and powerful, and he really thinks he is about twenty if he doesn't know. With blonde hair, a straight nose and a square mouth, and clear eyes, he has a good appearance. At this moment, the young man kneeling in front of him was pursing his lips tightly, his face was stubborn, but his eyes were full of anticipation and uneasiness.

"What's your name?" asked Lorist gently.

"I, my name is Reddy Ksesidorf. The teenager was a little nervous.

"Well, then I'll call you Reddy. Reddy, you've seen my duel, so you should know that I'm a teacher at Dawn Academy, a teacher of swordsmanship and vindictiveness. As long as you enter the Dawn Academy and become a student, I will naturally teach you swordsmanship, and you don't need to kneel here and beg me. And I'm only eight years older than you, so I don't think about who I'm going to take as an apprentice now. You better get up, just go to the elementary college and study hard for a semester, and next year you can go to Dawn Academy. Lorist said.

Reddy was disappointed, but still knelt on the ground and couldn't get up: "No, I don't want to go to school, they all call me a country kid and look down on me." I just want to learn the sword from you......"

Twenty years of peace and economic development have made the city of Moriente the largest commercial city on the continent of Guelintea, and before you know it, the residents of the city of Moriente have developed an inexplicable sense of superiority and pride. Just as the white-collar class in the metropolis in Lorlist's previous life looked down on migrant workers, he always called people from other countries dirt buns, and even began to exclude mercenaries and civilians from other countries from coming to Moldant City, thinking that these people were thieves and robbers, and they came for the wealth of Moldant City. The business alliance has lost the inclusiveness of its founding, and has become more greedy and realistic as its power has expanded.

This kind of discrimination also exists among the students of Dawn Academy, and many disputes are caused by local students looking down on students from other countries. I didn't expect this to happen to Reddy when he was in elementary school, so it's no wonder that El said that he knocked down all the students in a class.

"Brother Locke, you just take him, this bastard boy is a dead brain, if you don't promise him, he won't get up. Don't say anything about whether you accept apprentices or not, just let him follow you as an attendant, and then point him out when he has free time and is in a good mood. Anyway, you're a quasi-nobleman, and no one will gossip with an attendant by your side. El persuaded as he drank from the bottle.

"This ......" Lorist sometimes really forgot his noble status, although he was exiled by the family, but after all, he was born in the nobility, even if he has not been officially canonized, he still has the right to use the noble coat of arms of the Norton family to show his quasi-noble status, and enter and exit the high club to obtain noble treatment, but Lorist has never cared much about this.

"That's right. El remembered something again: "Didn't you move into a new house, my brother has been thinking about giving you something as a congratulatory gift for your move." It just so happened that a big merchant had a debt to us and went bankrupt and began to sell his property, and Ledos went to get his carriage and horses over to pay the debt, and I thought that the carriage was good, and I remembered that my brother did not travel on his behalf, so I decided to give it to you as a gift, and we would not need it anyway. So you better take him, brother, at least you need to take care of the carriage and take care of the two zino horses pulling the cart personally. ”

Lorist smiled bitterly, El said what he could do, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Reddy, you heard what El said, would you like to follow me as an attendant first? ”

Reddy jumped up: "Of course I do, I'll take care of the carriage and horses for you, and I'll go get the luggage." ”

Looking at Reddy's distant back, El nodded and said, "This kid will be a good squire, at least diligent and powerful, and a good driver...... He'll be handed over to you in the future, Brother Locke. ”

Shi Fatzi had a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred: "Er, why did you give Xiao Locke a carriage but didn't give me any gifts? I was still a student in the same class as you back then! We have known each other for a long time." ”

"Brother Locke gave us a business idea worth a thousand dollars, and Ledos said that he would not be willing to give him a good courtesy. When did you help us except take advantage of me? and you want a gift? El said.

Shi Fatzi was not convinced: "I don't believe that Xiao Locke can come up with any good ideas, and it is worth a thousand gold......"

There was nothing to keep secret, so El told him about the Terrance donkey whip slices being bottled and sold at a high price as a valuable gift, and everyone was convinced.

Yuri nodded, "This business is indeed lucrative. ”

Knowing that he can't follow suit, El chartered a boat more than a month ago to go to the Ruins Islands to buy Terrance Donkey Whip at a high price, and the boat will be back in a month, and the bottles of medicinal wine and everything here are ready to be sliced and bottled. And without the power of the El-El Society, ordinary people have to take some risks if they want to make this transaction.

Shi Fatzi said stupidly: "This kid's head is brighter than others." ”

Seeing that Lorist had almost finished eating, El put the bottle on the table and said, "Let's go, Brother Locke, let's go see the carriage, I'll park it in the backyard." ”

So a group of people flocked to see the carriage.

This is not one of the light cabs that run on the roads of the city of Morente, but a four-wheeled carriage with a whole carriage that can run long distances, and the black-brown outer carriage is embedded with four half-meter-square green glass on the top, which allows the carriage to have plenty of light during the day. On the roof and rear of the carriage are brass luggage racks, and in front of it is a double driver's seat.

El kicked the big wheels in the back compartment and said proudly: "These wheels, axles and bearings are all customized by the Dwarven Kingdom, all made of stainless steel, strong and durable. And there is also a large circlip underneath to support the entire carriage. Even on rough and bumpy mountain roads, the carriage is smooth. With this carriage, Brother Locke will be spared the pain of sun and rain when he goes out to do mercenary missions in the future. ”

"Day, whoever does a mercenary mission has to take such a carriage, it's not a mercenary, but a noble lord. Shi Fatzi said.

El ignored him and said to Lorliste, "Come, let's take a look inside." ”

Inside, two grey leather sofas are placed side by side, and the sofa in the back seat can be placed with a backrest to become a small bed. Underneath the sofa are four small drawers for bits and pieces. The compartment siding is covered with lilac velvet, and two wall lamps with oil glass shades are fixed to them.

El knocked on the wall panel: "There is still a thin steel plate sandwiched here, and there is ...... here"

Er pointed to the roof of the carriage and said, "These are six thin steel plates wrapped in velvet, so that they can be untied when they move, and when they are lowered, they can block the six glass windows in the front and back, left and right, so that the carriage can be temporarily connected into a solid secret room to protect the passengers inside from outside threats." There is also a secret door under the carriage that can be seen by lifting the carpet and allowing you to exit from under the carriage in case of an emergency. ”

Telman was amazed: "This car has all the situations encountered on the long road, and this decoration and arrangement must be worth a lot of money." ”

Shi Fatzi was envious: "At least a hundred gold coins, plus the two zino horses pulling the cart are more than ......"

The Zinoma is one of the most famous riding horses of Guelintea, known for its long-distance running and endurance, but it is a little weaker in sprint.

Yuri asked weakly, "El, how much did you say the bankrupt businessman owes you?"

El scratched his scalp and thought: "It should be more than thirty gold coins, less than forty." ”

"Uh......" the crowd was speechless......

Lorist doesn't care if the carriage that El gave him was forcibly taken by tyranny, anyway, they are a gang of underworld forces, and it is their duty to do this. He patted the carriage of the carriage and was very satisfied: "Thanks, El." I'm just going to take it. ”

Seeing Reddy coming with a package on his back, Lorist beckoned: "Reddy, put the things on the cart, bring the horse over and connect to the cart, fat man, go with me to get Marin Teaching, I will send him back first." ”

Shi Fatzi asked, "Then are you still here?"

Lorist shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not coming back." There's a duel tomorrow, it's too late. By the way, why don't you go together?"

Shi Fatzi said: "Let's stay for a while, the dishes are not ready yet." ”

Lorist came to his senses and said, "By the way, I'd better go to the checkout first, so that you don't have to put the messy bill in my name again." ”

Fat Man said, "Day, you're too stingy, Locke. Elk just gave you a luxurious carriage worth 100 gold! ”

"No way. Lorist replied.
