Chapter 4 I met the porcelain toucher
It was quiet in the carriage, and Wright and Ayers didn't know each other well and didn't know what to say. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Ayers thought of the conversation with Farley at the previous banquet and didn't have the heart to speak.
"There's something I don't know if I should tell you?" Farley's expression was hesitant and his tone was hesitant.
Ailes smiled heartily, "Is there anything we can't say between us?"
Perhaps it was the words of an old friend that strengthened Farley's resolve, "Do you think a person's talent will change?"
"Impossible!" Ayers denied without hesitation, "It's something you are born with, how can it change the day after tomorrow!"
Farley smiled wryly and shook his head, "I used to think so, and I didn't think so since yesterday. Although I have known for a long time that Wright has a talent for magic, it can only be regarded as ordinary, but you can see the results today. ā
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Ayers couldn't believe it, it defied common sense.
"I'm old, my eyes can still be used!" Farley laughed at this, "Now this matter has nothing to do with me, just give you a headache!"
"You ćććććć"
Lunders wasn't far from the small town of Stadt, and the carriage could run back and forth in a day, and before the sun had sunset, Ayers had taken Wright to the door of one of the city's hotels.
It stands to reason that with Ayers' status, even if he goes to the City Lord's Mansion, he will be treated as a guest. But Ayres just doesn't like to deal with such worldly elites, in fact, this is also the mentality of most high-level magicians, after all, for them, strength is the ultimate pursuit. As for those first, second, and third level little mages, they may not be able to see the city lord.
When Ayers asked if there was a vacant room, the keen eye that had been honed by his career over the years made the owner immediately realize that this customer was not simple. However, if you want to do this for a long time, it is a very important rule to see through and not say goodbye. The shopkeeper treated Ayres and Wright like normal guests, but when he handed the key to Ayrs, the innkeeper's trembling hands betrayed his inner uneasiness.
The room is not big, but it is also well-equipped, but there is no luxurious decoration.
"Grandpa Ayles, why does he look scared?" Although the people in the town are friendly, for an orphan, the skill of reading words and emotions will be mastered before he knows it.
"The Hogwarts motto is to do what you want to do! It's not about what you want to do, it's about what we can do! For them, magic is more magical than they know, and it's natural for people to be afraid of the unknown. ā
Wright nodded as if he didn't understand, looking at Wright's ignorant appearance, Ayers wasn't ready to explain more, anyway, with Wright's talent, he would understand the meaning of this sentence sooner or later.
"Would you like to go outside and have a look?" Ayres noticed that Wright had been looking out of the carriage window since he entered the city, and Ayrs, who had some thoughts about Wright, decided to have a good relationship with him in advance.
"Uh-huh. Wright had never been to the city before, and all his knowledge of the city came from the boasting of the merchants and his own imagination.
Ayres took out a few gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Wright, "Take it, you can go shopping by yourself, I won't be with you." Remember the name of this inn, if you forget the way back, pay someone to take you back, and buy what you like. ā
Wright shook his head and didn't take the gold coin from Ayles' hand.
"What's wrong? Think it's too little?" Ayers looked at Wright strangely, and pulled a few more gold coins out of his pocket, "That should be enough, right?"
"No, it's too much, I don't dare ask for it. For Wright, who had only seen gold coins when the city's tax collector was in town to collect taxes, Ayres had taken out an unimaginably large sum of money, which made Wright, who had only touched silver coins at most, afraid to take it at all.
"Hahaha. Hearing that this was the reason, Ayers laughed and stuffed the gold coin in his hand directly into Wright's hand, "Take it, I have a lot of this thing! And you will worry about too many of these things in the future." ā
Wright, who couldn't refuse, had no choice but to accept it, "Then, I'll pay you back when I have the money." ā
"Okay, I'll wait. Ayres suddenly remembered something again, and handed Wright something like a badge, "By the way, you take this, if someone is looking for trouble with you, you can just show him this." ā
Wright, who had this huge sum of money in his arms, went out cautiously, looking left and right as he walked, for fear that someone else would steal his money. It wasn't until he saw a man in a shop selling weapons pulling out a pile of gold coins on the counter of the house, and the people next to him were all surprised, that Wright's nervous mood finally calmed down a lot.
It's a busy street, and the houses on both sides of the street have been converted into shops, and all kinds of goods are filled with counters. But Wright's attention was not on the shops, but on the various small stalls that lined the streets. Although the goods on the small stall are not as exquisite as those in the shop, they are closer to Wright's life, in fact, the most important thing is that the price in the shop discourages Wright.
Wright, who was hanging out and watching everything fresh, suddenly felt that someone was tugging at him. Looking back, he was a beggar dressed in tattered clothes, with a foul smell all over his body, and a mouthful of teeth stained with yellow stains was exposed.
Caught off guard, Wright was pulled by the beggar into the alley next to him, the alley was quiet, no one was coming, Wright was a little angry and a little worried, "What do you want to do?"
The beggar grinned, his black hands looked like they hadn't been washed for a long time, he fumbled in his arms for a while, and took out a scroll, "Don't be afraid, young man, I'm not a bad person." I see that you are amazing and gifted, and you will be able to accomplish great things in the future, and I have a picture for you here. ā
The beggar unfolded the painting, and Wright, who was about to say that he was not interested in the painting, snatched the painting directly from the beggar's hand after seeing the contents of the painting, regardless of whether the beggar's hands were dirty or not.
The content of the painting is quite simple, except for two huge clusters of light, one black and one white, and nothing else. But the more Wright looked at it, the more familiar it became, exactly like the two light clusters he had seen in his dream.
When Wright turned his head to ask the beggar where he got the painting, he realized that he was alone in the alley, and only a voice came from the air, "Remember, people are painting!"
Wright asked, "Who the hell are you?"
"Li Xiaoyao!"
With the painting given to him by the mysterious beggar, Wright returned to the street, but compared to just now, Wright was obviously a little absent-minded.
Wright, who was thinking about it, suddenly felt as if he had touched something, and when Wright came back to his senses, there was already a person lying there in front of him.
"Oops, oops!"
Lying on the ground was a middle-aged man, who looked thin and weak, and was clutching his calves and wailing.
"Are you alright?" Wright crouched down and asked the man, who might have been knocked down by himself.
The middle-aged man grabbed Wright's hand, "You said something was okay, you don't look at people when you walk!
Wright had never experienced such a situation, "What to solve?"
The people around him surrounded him when he saw this situation, and Wright was a little panicked when he saw so many people.
"How do you say to solve it, of course you lose money!"
"Oh, how much does that cost?" Wright felt that since he had knocked the man down, the compensation was also deserved.
The middle-aged man hesitated, perhaps because he didn't look like a rich man in Wright's dress, "Then accompany, well, a gold coin!"
The crowd of onlookers next to him suddenly became lively, all kinds of discussions, the middle-aged man was not happy to see this situation, and shouted to the people around him, "What do you see, does it have anything to do with you?"
However, the people around him seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, and no one paid attention to the man's words.
Hearing the amount, Wright breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the money he brought was enough. He took out a handful of gold coins from his bosom, took out one and handed it to the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground all the time. It's a pity that Wright doesn't understand the greed of human nature, and after the middle-aged man saw that Wright's "net worth" was so strong, he immediately regretted that he had just been missing.
"The city guards are coming!" I don't know who shouted, and the surrounding onlookers dispersed in an instant. The city of Lundes has a huge daily flow of people, and in order to maintain law and order in the city, the city lord recruited some soldiers to take turns patrolling the streets in dozens of teams.
"What's going on?"
The middle-aged man lying on the ground hurriedly stood up, and his movements were so quick that he couldn't see the injury just now. The man whispered a few words in the ear of the captain of this group of city guards, and the captain's eyes suddenly lit up, and the way he looked at Wright was a little different.
"You, suspected of disturbing the peace, come with us!" the captain said to Wright.
Wright had never encountered such a situation since he was a child, and quickly defended that he didn't, but the captain didn't listen to his explanation at all. In a hurry, I finally thought of a sign that Grandpa Ayres handed over to him before. He took out the sign and handed it to the captain, "Look at this." ā
The captain took it and looked at it, but he didn't recognize it, and thought Wright was playing tricks on him! He tossed the sign aside and commanded the guards behind him, "Arrest him." ā
It may be that the captain didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and just when his men were about to step forward to arrest people, a sound of horses' hooves sounded, and "Hu" stopped next to the group.
"My lord!" the captain saw that he was the commander of the city guards.
"What's going on?"
"My lord, that's right!" the captain muttered in the Commander's ear, who knew that there was no way to avoid it, and he always turned a blind eye. After knowing that this was the case, the commander was not prepared to take care of it, and got on his horse and prepared to leave.
"This is?" the Commander saw the sign that had been thrown on the ground, picked it up and looked at it carefully, his face changed, "Whose is this?"
Seeing that the commander was interested in this thing, the captain hurriedly leaned over and pointed at Wright, "This is his!"
"Smack" The commander put a whip on the captain's face, "Your eyes are blind!"
The commander smiled and handed the sign to Wright, "Your Excellency, your subordinates are not sensible, you forgive me, I will definitely teach him a hard lesson when I go back!"
Wright was a little confused, took the sign and turned to leave, the captain still wanted to speak, but was glared back by the commander.
