Section 9: The Beginning of a New Life (Part I)

The two chatted about some semi-public and half-private trivial matters, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Miss Wenli took her leave, and then took her private boat back to Harvey.

Only those close to her could see that Miss Wenli was very happy because of the success of her cooperation with Townsend—she stood in the bow of the boat with a parasol before she entered the cabin, and admired the scenery on both sides of the ship.

"Miss," Riva walked up to Wenli after a quarter of an hour of leaving the docks, a little mysteriously, "There's something I don't know if I want to tell you." ”

"Say, now that you've spoken. Miss Wenli turned around, "Is it about Mr. Townsend?"

"Yes, but I didn't mean to listen. Riva spread out her palms and showed her handkerchief to Wenli: "Miss, before lunch, when you were chatting with Mr. Townsend, I went to wipe down the table, and found the powder on Mr. Townsend's table. ”

"It's ......," Miss Wenli looked at the tiny black powder in her handkerchief.

"This is black gold, the black gold used to craft props for the abilities. Riva replied, "The powder is leftovers that have been shaped with a file, which means that Mr. Townsend was working on abilities in his room before we arrived." ”

"You mean that Mr. Townsend is actually an anomaly?" asked Miss Wenli rhetorically.

"I'm afraid so," Riva nodded, "Mr. Townsend may not be the lowest level when it comes to teaching others abilities in the warehouse, but with the black gold in his original state, his level won't be high." ”

"Why is that?" Miss Wenli flicked her forehead with her fingers, "A lone child of a family, a group of loyal followers, and now they have discovered the identity of a paranormal - I have asked someone to investigate before, and there is no one who meets the requirements in the Andorran Alliance. ”

"Mademoiselle, you have ruled out the suspicion that Mr. Townsend was deliberately present to you. Riva pondered, "If Mr. Townsend is not from the Alliance, then there is no danger to us?"

"I hope so. Miss Wenli said: "The Swarosia family, there is no feud in this generation, there is no blood feud, and my father is not the kind of person who will introduce you to a brother if he is romantic...... It's nerve-wracking. ”

"Shall we ...... How?"

"Do nothing. Miss Wenli shook her head: "If Mr. Townsend has bad intentions, our own defense is sufficient, if Mr. Townsend has good intentions, then we will have one more friend, and if Mr. Townsend is just a passerby, then we only need to maintain this short but harmonious relationship with him...... There is no need to do anything superfluous. ”

"But how are we going to get along with Mr. Townsend, who is a Psychrist? ”

"It's important to think about that. Miss Wenli nodded: "What are your good ideas?"

"I don't know," Riva shook her head, "or let's give him something suitable!"

"How can you say that you can send it, Mr. Townsend is a proud man, and he has to find a chance......

While the young lady and the maid were having trouble with their nerves, the proud man in their mouths was dividing the money with his men in the room. Of the reward of five hundred gold coins, except for a part that was left for public use, the rest was to be distributed among the people. Townsend's philosophy is simple: no one else's money should be kept in one's own hands unless it is necessary, so as not to cause dissatisfaction.

The degree of contribution is different, and each person gets different gold coins, the most one is nineteen, and the least is only three, which is not because Townsend is favoritial, but the best way to motivate his subordinates. If you want to get more money, then work hard and strive to work!

But in fact, even the left-behind personnel who only got three gold coins did not look generally satisfied. What is the concept of gold coins? A regular soldier of the Andorran Union earns six gold coins a year, enough to feed his wife and son. And a fast ship like the Eat and Drink Spicy is brand new and only sells for a thousand gold coins.

The profit of the Blue Rui Chamber of Commerce was about ten times that of five hundred gold coins.

The caravan only takes eight days to make a round trip, and the goods do not contain real contraband!

The Chamber of Commerce's camel team travels twice a month, so that in less than two years, the Spicy Mercenary Corps will be able to retire and enjoy life - unlike the others, Townsend has a mediocre feeling about gold coins, and he even divides the gold coins he deserves equally among his subordinates.

Because the smuggling route was so simple, Townsend only took his men on two trips, and after everything on the road was regulated, he let the monkey and the captain take turns leading the way, and plunged headlong into the town library himself.

For all the knowledge of this world, Townsend is hungry and thirsty, the situation did not allow it before, but now that there are conditions, of course he must quickly make up for it, this is his real capital for eating and drinking spicy.

Miss Wenli was right, the library in the town could only be called a reading room, and there were only a few books in it that could help you, most of them were some crazy knightly novels or crazy rats brainwashing leaflets, and there were also two books that stimulated fertility, and they were hidden from strangers—shaking his head, Townsend could only go into the large suite that Miss Wenli had booked for him at the hostel.

With fine food, comfortable seating, and thoughtful care in the suite, Townsend took it all to himself. He took a good shower first, and then Shi Shiran entered the study, and then he was shocked by what he saw.

The huge study room has been filled with all kinds of books!

"Master Townsend, I heard that these are all books that Miss Wenli has read since she was a child, and many of them have Miss's notes on them. One of the well-behaved maids explained, "After we arrived here, we had five days to tidy up. ”

"Thank you for your hard work. I didn't see it, your Miss Wenli is quite miscellaneous in reading. Townsend was overjoyed, his fingers ran over the spine of a book, and after enjoying the slight flicking of his fingertips, he pulled a copy of "A Brief Description of the Continent" from the shelf.

"Master Townsend," Tang Cai sat down at the table, and one of the maids squatted down beside him, "Please taste the drink." ”

Townsend picked up the fine porcelain cup and took a sip: "Not bad." ”

"Master Townsend," before he could open the book, the second maid squatted down beside him, "please taste the tobacco."

Townsend lit a match and lit a tobacco without a filter, and the familiar taste suddenly filled his mouth and nose: "Very good!"

"Master Townsend," and then the third maid squatted down beside him: "Please taste ......"

"What?" Townsend flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and said in his heart, you didn't take anything, what did I taste?
