Chapter 13: Crazy Ideas
The charm of money is endless!
Two minutes later, the boy carried a steaming bowl of broth on a wooden tray, two pieces of freshly baked wheat bread baked to golden brown, and a plate of so-called horned cabbage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Horned cabbage, which looks like beans from the outside, has a curved appearance, verdant throughout, and exudes a vegetable-like aroma that makes Ronald move his index finger after smelling it.
The boy respectfully put breakfast away and quickly retreated, Ronald knew very well that he was buying clothes for himself.
Eating hot wheat bread, drinking boiled thick broth, and serving a plate of vegetables, Ronald felt very satisfied and relieved after walking all night in the rain.
The only pity is that the tableware in this world is a Western-style knife and fork, which is far less convenient for Ronald than chopsticks. Fortunately, when he was on Earth in his previous life, Ronald had not eaten Western food, and this knife and fork was not unfamiliar with it.
After eating the breakfast that the boy had brought him, Ronald wiped his mouth and put the dishes there...... After the boy sent the clothes, he would naturally take them away and pack them up.
Moving a bench and sitting in front of the window, Ronald began to sit in his room and watch the pedestrians walk around the street.
Since coming to this world, he first walked in the forest with hunger for a day and a night, and then encountered a hunting team involved in a dispute, but fortunately, Ronald also gained a little points from it, and by the way, he also activated the 'shop system'.
In the tavern of the previous village, Ronald sacrificed a bag full of gold coins and got 200 points, and he also exchanged it for fighting spirit, which was also quite rewarding.
But Ronald didn't really take a break all the time.
Now, Ronald stayed in his room, looking at the pedestrians on the street, and finally felt like his body and mind were resting. And watching pedestrians and a large number of mercenaries walk by here, Ronald gradually got some information.
At the very least, it doesn't seem to be a violation of law to wear weapons in this world, at least the mercenaries are all armed with weapons, some are swords, axes, maces or bows. During this period, Ronald also saw a few mercenaries wearing heavy full-body armor walking by like iron men, but the people around him were also not surprised or surprised, as if this was normal.
However, there is one thing, and the weapons worn by these people are relatively conventional, such as Ronald's two-handed greatsword, or Zachary's one-handed greataxe that he encountered in the tavern before, but not a single one is seen.
Of course, it is easy to wear a weapon with such an exaggerated size, but it is inevitable to encounter various difficulties when fighting, at least there are many restrictions in terms of strength and physical strength, if it is not for a naturally strong guy like Ronald, I am afraid that he really can't control this terrifying cold weapon.
Perhaps because his mind was finally relaxed, Ronald lay on the windowsill and looked at the street, gradually his eyelids became heavy, and he finally fell asleep.
I don't know how long it was, but there was a knock on the door.
Ronald, who woke up in an instant, opened his eyes, and turned his head to look at it.
"Come in, the door is not locked. Ronald said.
The door of the house retreated, and the young man just now walked in with a restrained expression, bowing his head: "Mr. Mercenary, I went to buy clothes for you just now, because it is not very expensive, so I bought two sets, and it cost a total of 72 copper coins." ”
The young man held two sets of clothes in his hands, his voice was extremely low, and he seemed to be a little nervous in his heart, and he didn't even dare to look up at Ronald.
Ronald got up and walked over, looked at the young man who had been keeping his head down, and reached out to pick up his clothes: "Very good, the rest of the money is yours." ”
When the young man heard this, he was visibly relieved.
"Sir, try the size, I bought it with your reminder to check it visually, and if it's not right, I can take it and change it for you. The young man was a little excited, and at the same time said as if offering a treasure.
Ronald looked at the young man's appearance before and after, and secretly laughed in his heart.
Of course, he knew why the boy was like this, it was just that there was a lot of money left over to buy clothes, so the young man didn't dare to accept it without saying a word, for fear that Ronald would ask him for it, or even frame him for a crime or something.
As for being so excited now, it was just that after hearing that Ronald personally gave him the remaining copper coins, in order not to make Ronald regret it, he showed his value as much as possible.
He's a smart guy, but he's just a little smart.
Moreover, 28 copper coins ...... Is it a lot?
Ronald shook his head secretly, feeling that this young man's vision was too shallow.
Under the service of the young man, Ronald changed into an otherworldly style dress, the material is okay, but it is far worse than the brand-name clothes on the earth, it is nothing more than this exotic style similar to the Middle Ages that makes Ronald feel very good.
The size is right, the style is not cumbersome, and it will not make a difference whether you wear armor outside or fight directly.
Obviously, this young man was also careful when he picked out his clothes.
"The clothes are good, I'm satisfied. Ronald looked at the boy and nodded, "But I want you to get something for me." ”
"Sir, please command, my job is to serve the guests of the inn. The boy raised his head, puffed out his chest, and said with an expectant expression.
"Go and help me find a map, whether it's a map of the whole world, or a detailed map of Gregory's neighborhood...... It's best to have both. Ronald commanded.
"No problem, sir, the hotel has what you want, I'll bring it to you first." When the boy heard this, he answered without hesitation.
Seeing that Ronald had no other orders, the boy turned and walked out.
It didn't take long for Ronald to get used to the outfit when the boy walked in with two parchment maps.
"Sir, I've got you the map of the Bissard continent you wanted, and the map of a hundred miles around Gregory. The boy handed over the two maps.
"Very well, you go out. Ronald took the map and waved his hand.
The young man lowered his head, looking a little disappointed: "Sir, if you have any other orders, just tell me, I'm downstairs." With that, the boy exited the room.
"Greedy imp...... But I like greedy people. Ronald looked at the closed door, a sneer on his lips.
Spreading out the map on the table, Ronald took a closer look.
In fact, Ronald doesn't know how to read a map at all, but he doesn't know anything about the world, even a map that he doesn't understand is enough to bring him a lot of information.
Because the body was familiar with the language and writing of the world, Ronald didn't seem to have a hard time with the words on the map.
After careful searching, Ronald quickly found Gregory's place name on the topographic map of the Bissard continent.
Gregory, belonging to the southern part of the Duchy of Lomons, is geographically located next to the Misty Forest, which is very vast, and along the depths of the forest to the south, there is an endless sea.
Judging from the map, the area of the Bissard continent is very large, as for how many square kilometers there are, there is no mark on the map, and Ronald has no way of knowing.
However, it can be clearly seen on the map that the territory of the Duchy of Lomons is not large in the Bisard continent, and there are even as many as six countries larger than the Duchy of Lomons.
In addition to this, in the coastal area in the eastern part of the continent, there is a principality composed entirely of islands - Grantham!
Grantham is about the same size as Lomons, except that one is inland and one is at sea.
After a general understanding, Ronald opened up the map around Gregory again.
According to what the teenager just said, the map covers a 100-mile radius around Gregory.
On the map, Gregory's name is depicted on a walled castle, and there are more than a dozen towns around Gregory, with well-obstructed roads connecting them to Grigory.
In the narrow area between Gregory and the Misty Forest, a village called Jeso is marked, and this Jesso, apparently the place last night, is marked.
Geographically, the village of Jeso is supposed to be a buffer zone between Gregory and the Misty Forest, and it also acts as an outpost, after all, Gregory and the Misty Forest are too close to each other.
Running his fingers over the fine stubble growing from his chin, Ronald fell into deep thought.
Ronald traveled from Earth to this world, and the biggest advantage is the big bandit system, and the advantage of the big bandit system is the ability to exchange in the store.
So if Ronald wants to survive in this world, or even live better than ordinary people, the best shortcut is to use the abilities of the Big Bandit system to make himself stronger.
And in this way, Ronald will have to go further and further down the road of looting and robbery.
However, robbery has always been a ninth-rate existence in Ronald's eyes, not to look down on this profession, but to feel that there is no future.
If you want to rob more property, or even get rid of the somewhat awkward term robbery, then the only way is to make your robbery business bigger!
Like a wandering mouse, looking around for a suitable target to rob, he is just a robber in the end.
But if Ronald could find a stronghold and form a gang to expand his robbery business, then the nature would be different.
Recruit people, occupy key roads, plunder caravans, and sit on the ground to share the spoils......
It's like a cottage in a martial arts novel, built near the mountain, monopolizing trade routes, expanding power, and eventually becoming an underworld giant in another world!
It's a little exciting to think about!
But this is just Ronald's fantasy for a while, and if he really wants to achieve it, it is not so easy.
Not to mention anything else, just one Gregory street, there are all kinds of mercenaries coming and going, not to mention how many mercenaries and strong people there are in the entire continent.
If you want to make a career in another world, it is much more difficult than on Earth.
"First of all, I must have enough strength, otherwise it will be difficult to protect myself, and it will be impossible to gather a team of my own. Ronald stroked his chin and said slowly.
Ronald's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and after a moment, he chuckled: "There is still a long way to go, it seems that I still have to continue to work as a robber." ”
