Chapter 117: Aristocrats
Zhang Bai found a bank to look for precious metals as usual, such as gold and silver, but he had already turned around the nearby gold and silver shops and banks, and there was nothing left.
Why don't you go to a farther place? There is probably a wise bank here in Lujiazui that I haven't gotten to.
Going over there made him feel a little inexplicably weak, which was a mental obstacle left by his previous life. After all, this is a national bank, not an ordinary commercial bank or business office. This place, usually the little people do not need to go, and they don't dare to go.
Mu Jing was not here, he was alone, and he especially wanted to go home to see at this time. What he thinks about is not the house he bought, but the house of his parents who grew up.
My parents' house is far away from Lujiazui, in the westernmost part of the old town in the west of the magic city, where there is an old-fashioned public house, mostly six-story buildings with no elevators. It is inconvenient for the old man to go up and down the stairs, so he reminded him several times to let his parents sell the house and buy a high-rise house with an elevator, so that it is convenient to live and it is not easy to stumble. But the old people were unwilling, they were reluctant to let go of the old neighbors, and they were worried that the new house would not adapt to them, so they delayed moving.
Crossing the river from Lujiazui and then crossing the entire city center used to take only one hour by subway, but what should I do now? Will I swim across the river and then walk for ten hours? Forget it! He had no choice but to give up this idea for the time being.
Where he was standing now, there was a computer accessories store across the street, and he walked towards it almost habitually.
In the past, such stores could sometimes buy pirated video game software or some trendy computer accessories, such as a very personalized mouse, a keyboard with special binding, or something. He was often like that, walking around by himself, and it was a kind of relaxation for him.
There was a zombie in this store, blocked in front of the wall next to the shelf, and he easily killed it with a platinum rope, and the zombie turned into smoke and disappeared. A strange black mark appeared on the white wall behind it. Zhang Bai took a closer look, but was startled, this turned out to be a trace of a human body, his hands stretched to the sky, and his legs were bent at his knees, so he looked particularly short. Zhang Bai understood, this was a person, who was burned alive by a big mushroom. The zombie just now was protecting this trace, and it should be his relatives.
He suddenly felt a bout of nausea, and he immediately ran out of the house and vomited on the side of the street. Hell, everyone has burned down, how can the house be okay? This is a dream, Zhang Bai reminded himself, this is just a dream!
......
"Your Excellency Ahurama, you have a distinguished guest asking to see you!" the guard suddenly spoke.
Seeing that Zhang Bai was asleep, he shouted a few more times, and Zhang Bai woke up from his dream, he felt extremely tired, his limbs were sore, and there was still some peculiar smell in his mouth.
"Your Excellency Ahurama, you have a distinguished guest, your Excellency is the patriarch of the Surin family and the captain of the thousand. The guards reported to Zhang Bai in a low voice.
Zhang Bai picked up the remaining water cup on the table and took a sip, and suddenly sobered up, Su Lin family, what are they doing here?
"Invite them in," Zhang Bai commanded, and then he remembered something and called the guards back, "Hey, look at me, do you still look like words?"
Soon, there was a murmur of footsteps in the corridor, and Zhang Bai wore a bright red robe and stood to greet him.
The figure of the door flickered, and the familiar face of Dedalus Surin appeared in the room, he was wearing a white local robe, and when he saw Zhang Bai, he immediately bent down to salute, with a proud and restrained smile on his face that made Zhang Bai feel familiar. He was followed by an old man with a neat beard, who walked slowly, was about sixty years old, and both wore thick turbans around their heads.
"Hello, Your Excellency Ahurama, we meet again, and it is an honor to have the opportunity to march with you. After a while, Dedalske introduced: "This one is my father, the patriarch of the Surin family, Kelka Surin. ”
"Venerable Surin Patriarch, I have the pleasure of meeting you and speaking with you, I am Zhang Bai, the new Hahurama of Zoroastrianism, the servant of the Almighty Ahura Mazda. Zhang Bai learned this from the Pasha, and since he has become the head of the sect, he can't be ignorant of the things in the sect, right? He also specially asked the Pasha for a copy of the Zoroastrian classic "Gasa" to read. The Gasa is an ode, a sutra full of stories about the suppression of evil and the promotion of good, the praise of the god of light, and the criticism of Ahliman, the god of darkness, and his demons.
"I've been busy with celebrations lately, and it's really rude not to visit the noble families, especially to the Surin family, I'm very sorry. Please be seated. Zhang Bai motioned for the two to sit at the round table in the hall, and after everyone sat down together, Zhang Bai asked, "I don't know what happened to you coming to visit in person this time?"
Touching his beard with his hand, Kelka Surin smiled and said, "The main thing is to see you up close, such a young Ahurama, Deidares has been praising you in front of me, saying that you are a wonderful person, and that age cannot hide your greatness. It was the first time that my son, whom I had always prouded, and had told me that someone had surpassed him, and that he had become his role model, so I had the pleasure of taking a closer look at you, an illustrious young man. ”
This can be advanced or retreated, it is both praise and pulling, and it also reveals a deep distrust, and it is no problem to deceive children. But Zhang Bai is an old fritter who has been a man for two lifetimes, how can he not hear it.
"I have just taken over the duties of Ahurama, and I am very anxious that under the protection of Ahura Mazda, we will be allowed to spread the light of Zoroastrianism to the whole world. ”
His words seem to be self-humble, but in fact he is completely foolish, there is basically no difference between what he said and what he didn't say, so he talked to death directly.
"Ahem!" Kelka didn't expect that this kid was so well known as the king's true biography that he was also a master who spoke off topic and didn't eat oil and salt. I thought to myself, don't be like Ardaban V, a wooden stunned boy, right?
"I have every confidence that Zoroastrianism will spread its teachings to every corner of the world under your auspices. The light you speak of will shine on the lands of Parthia, Sasanian, Roman, Kushan, and Han to make the nation strong or the people rich and happy for eternity. ”
What he meant by this was actually asking Zhang Bai how he would develop Zoroastrianism in the future. In the future, whether to continue the war, or to develop trade.
Zhang Bai understood and replied: "Our cause is carried out according to the will of Ahura Mazda, from Rome to Parthia, from Kushan to Dahan, everywhere the people are our lambs and calves, and I hope that the true God will protect them to be free, strong and happy, and not to encounter danger." ”
Zhang Bai meant that he was unwilling to fight and how good business was, but he only mentioned the names of four countries, not including Sasanian.
