Chapter 16: Finally Rich
After settling Ellen's customer, Hank walked out of the room, and at the same time did not forget to close the door, as if he was afraid that Alan inside would hear the movement outside, but unfortunately all this was completely useless for Allen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How's it going, what's going on?" was the voice of Hank, the store manager, who just didn't know who he was asking.
"It's been preliminarily checked, and it's not life-threatening for a while, but judging from the symptoms, it should be the ...... back then" The owner of this voice should be one of the big men in the room just now, but Allen, who hadn't heard their voices, couldn't tell it.
"How is this possible, it's not that ...... back then" Hank seemed to suddenly realize something, and didn't continue, "Hurry up and report this matter to Your Majesty and His Majesty the Pope, this is no longer something we can handle." ”
"My lord, those two are now in the Divine Dragon Empire, should we tell them about this first, after all, ......"
"That's fine, they are more experienced than us, so you can send someone to report it. ”
Now Allen's heart is full of resentment, what kind of bad habits are these people, just talk halfway, the most critical part is all by playing dumb riddles, are you really not afraid that the other party will misunderstand?
Unfortunately, this complaint did not stop the other party's dumb riddle exchange, and the exchange did not go wrong, and soon after, the sheriff and the doctor went to the pawn shop together, and after some conversation, the young man was taken away by the doctor, and Alan probably knew what had happened.
It turned out that the thing that young people came to pawn today was a gold headdress inlaid with red garnets, which cost a lot of money. Of course, the Talos Pawnshop has received countless more valuable items than this, so naturally it is not necessary to take the value of this headdress to heart.
It's just that Hank, the store manager, is well-informed, and recognizes at a glance that this headdress is very similar to the headdress worn by a certain noble lady, and in line with the principle of caution, he refuses the young man's request to pawn.
Unexpectedly, the young man yelled excitedly after being rejected, and then he became addicted to drugs and fell to the ground.
After a period of commotion, silence soon returned to the outside of the door, and Hank pushed the door into the inner room, apologizing to Alan repeatedly:
"I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. ”
Then he sat down opposite Allen, cleaned up the slightly messy tabletop, crossed his hands in front of his lips, and suddenly changed from the humble appearance just now to the appearance that Allen thought the pawn shop keeper should look like - old and cunning.
This skill of quickly changing his face really made Alan feel ashamed, in order not to let himself fall behind, Alan leaned back in his chair, stared at Hank in front of him, and stopped talking.
If this were in normal times, Alan would definitely not be able to survive Hank, but today is different, Hank is in a hurry to deal with some things, but he has no spare time to spend here with Alan.
"What are you going to do?"
Alan smiled proudly, and just wanted to raise his hand to rub his ears, but suddenly remembered that he had changed his appearance now, and it was better not to leave such an obvious small movement.
So he forcibly stopped raising his hand and rubbed his fingers a little embarrassed.
"Some gems, damn it, you can just give it an estimate. ”
After speaking, he took out a bag of gems from his arms and threw them directly on the table, making a dull sound of "bang".
Hank had thought it was a lost second ancestor, but the bag changed his mind, as the gems he took out of the bag looked like unpolished rough stones, not pry from the ornaments.
The number of gems is not very large, but all of them are fine, Hank took the gems in his hand one by one and looked at them carefully, and then took out a strange set of tools from under the table, and said to Alan:
"Rest assured, this will not cause any damage to your gemstone, but I will have to test it before I can give an accurate quote. ”
"Okay, please. ”
Alan might have been a little uncomfortable if he had been elsewhere, but there is no need to worry about these issues here.
After some knocking, Hank put away the tools in his hand, "Are you sure you want to die?" Seeing Alan nod, he continued, "I can give the price of 2,300 gold coins for these gems." ”
Alan thought about it carefully, as far as Weiss said, these gems should be worth about 2,800 gold coins, but this refers to the price after processing, and now the rough stone is sold at this price is considered good.
"Okay, so be it. ”
A smile also appeared on Hank's old face, this deal could make a lot of money, and it could be regarded as driving away some of the boredom in his heart.
"Do you want cash or silver?" ”
......
The so-called silver slip is a product of the invention of the Holy See, and it was first used only by the personnel of the Holy See.
Since there were often people in the Holy See who needed to travel far away, it was inconvenient to carry a pile of gold coins, so there was a silver slip, and the silver slip printed by the Holy See could be exchanged for gold coins in various churches.
However, due to the different circumstances of each church, the amount of gold coins in reserve is also more or less, so the silver list has always been very inconvenient.
With the continuous increase of trade in the mainland, merchants began to build their own money houses to print things similar to silver slips, which was targeted by many lawbreakers, and for a time fake bills were rampant on the mainland, making many people miserable.
In the end, it was the Holy See that came forward to ban all money banks, set up brilliant banks, and issued silver bills in a unified manner, gradually forming today's situation.
......
"Give me 800 gold coins in cash, and the rest will be exchanged for silver bills. ”
The 800 gold coins are prepared for the acquisition of the Heavenly Dependents Mercenary Group, and as for the rest, it can be used as Allen's private money.
Soon, Alan walked out of the Talos pawnshop with a bag of gold coins and a few silver slips, and when he looked back, it seemed that this Talos pawnshop was not just a pawn shop.
But Alan doesn't think it has anything to do with him, he just treats it as a simple pawn shop, after getting this money from here, he can finally stop worrying about money, the previous few trips were paid by Weiss, and it did make Alan a little embarrassed.
I found a place where no one noticed to change my appearance back, and after thinking about it, Weiss should still be watching in the store, so I didn't have to go, so Alan, who was lazy, went straight back to the dormitory.
......
"Commander, Commander, there was a guy who came to sell a drink just now, and he gave him a little taste. ”
In the garrison of the Heavenly Dependents Mercenary Group, a man hurriedly ran to Pate's side with a wooden bowl.
"What drink?" Pate took the wooden bowl with a strange expression, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and a strong aroma rushed straight up, making him sneeze a few times.
"What the hell, it's so fragrant, it's for women!"
These words caused the mercenaries around him to burst into laughter, and he kept pointing at the mercenary who came in with a drink, so angry that he couldn't speak.
"I, I, I ......" he took the bowl from Pate's hand and threw it to the ground, proving that he was not a woman.
"Something, show it to me. A deep voice came from the corner again, and it was the mysterious white-robed man who had been sitting in the corner.
Pate hurriedly took the wooden bowl and handed it to him, the white-robed man took the wooden bowl and smelled it, reached out and tasted it a little, and said in a low voice: "It's really a bull, ghost, snake and god are here, next time you meet a salesman, bring him to me." ”
With that, he poured all the bowls of drinks on the ground, and it was vaguely revealed that the drink was a blue liquid.
