314. Making money, business, not chilling
Grey returns to her lodgings and thinks carefully about what she had seen, which she had thought was a hallucination, but when she found a leaf on her body that did not belong to this world, she realized that the place she had gone was not an illusion but a real world.
After understanding this, the mage Grey was shocked, and she summoned the head of the Flaming Red Knights, known as the kingdom guardian knight of the strongest in the empire, and asked cautiously: "If a mage can teleport another high-level mage to another world and it is multiple worlds, and the worlds are not connected to each other, and can turn copper coins into gold coins without the help of any equipment and magic items, then what is the approximate level of this mage?" Teacher. ”
The Captain of the Order was one of the few people in this world who possessed the power of a god, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was even the strongest in this world, but when he heard this description, the well-informed Captain frowned.
"Your Highness, have you met a liar?"
His Royal Highness doesn't know how to explain it, after all, it does seem like a liar to describe it like this, after all, he is a mage himself, and he knows that to move an object to another place, the effort required is determined by the weight of the object, the distance and height of the displacement, and usually moving an object with magic is ten times or more than the magic power consumed to carry it directly.
But the problem is that even if it is a dazzling skill, the skill of the celestial mage is too outrageous, Gray roughly estimated, according to her weight is 172 cups of rice, just the magic cost of sending herself to the planet is enough to directly plow the Western Continent back and forth to all the mountains and rivers to become flat, not to mention directly traveling through different worlds without the help of any magic devices.
Such an ability, if you want to destroy the world, may be just a matter of breathing.
But the problem is that the only thing he seems to care about is the dilapidated two-story building on the corner...... This made Her Highness very puzzled, and she couldn't figure out the motives of that guy even if she wanted to break her head.
When Grey came to the corner shop again the next day, she found that the strange guy had really taken the broken shop down! And it seems to be a one-time buyout, which cost four gold coins.
The owner of the shop was a half-dragon man, and he had sharp claws, but the smile he had when he received the gold coins was no different from those profiteers who were interested in profit.
"Now it's yours."
The half-dragon man handed the key to Brother Zhang, who nodded at him, and then opened the door and walked in, there was dust everywhere, and none of them were clean, and Brother Zhang just stood inside and looked at it, and then exited the room again, and then he went to the city's public security administration office to go through the relevant procedures according to the procedures of the locals.
But I didn't expect him to be embarrassed just in the past, first of all, he is a celestial, and he has no local identity and household registration, so he is not allowed to open a store, if you want to go through the formalities, you have to find a local identity to handle this matter, and when the official in charge of this matter introduced, he quietly handed a table to Brother Zhang and whispered: "You just need to spend some money, everything here is done for you, the people on this list are all death row prisoners in prison, and their identity and household registration are useless after they are killed, It's just the right time to open a store for you. ”
Brother Xiao Zhang looked down at the list above: "Can it really work?" ”
"Don't worry, as long as you contribute some money, I'll help you out. You are a celestial being, and as long as you pay your taxes normally, no one will doubt your identity. ”
Brother Xiao Zhang sighed, and then pointed to a name on it: "How much?" ”
"This lord is really discerning, this prisoner is the only daughter of Duke Derwin, because Duke Derwin was implicated and imprisoned in prison, and he will be hanged in a few months, but the name is really great."
In fact, Brother Xiao Zhang just looks at this name well, which translates to be called Myrtle, Myrtle Restaurant...... Isn't this little style coming up all of a sudden?
"No introduction."
"No, no, no, this lord ......"
The official pulled Brother Zhang aside and whispered, "As long as you are willing to spend a thousand gold coins, this name and the person with this name belong to you, hehe...... Miss Myrtle was originally a famous beauty in the city, and a thousand gold coins were definitely a bargain. As long as you hide her from being discovered, you can do whatever you want with her. ”
Brother Xiao Zhang was stunned: "That's a death row prisoner, right?" ”
"Yes, it's only the condemned prisoners." The petty official's face showed calmness: "In this way, one thousand two hundred gold coins, you only need to leave an address, and I will send all the formalities and people to the house tonight." To tell you the truth, if you weren't a celestial, I wouldn't dare to do this, and if I let others know, I would be killed. Don't worry, my lord, we've done it more than once, and it's safe. ”
At this point, the door to the place where they were chatting was suddenly opened, and Grey's head poked in: "Really? ”
Seeing this head, the official in charge of registration fell to his knees with a pop, his face like ashes.
"Alright, I'm not interested in your." After Grey finished speaking, she looked up at Brother Zhang: "Master, why do you want to talk so much with such a person?" ”
"Make money, business, don't chill." Brother Xiao Zhang pointed at the official and said, "And he is really good at selling, and I am ready to make a counteroffer." ”
The official's face turned pale, but when he heard the counter-offer, he raised his head almost instinctively and said, "Nine hundred can't be less." ”
Grey rolled her eyes: "Go, solve the master's problem, I don't know about you." ”
In this way, Brother Zhang easily got the business license, but the Myrtle Hotel is impossible, because it uses Gray's name, so it has to be called Xiaoer Xiancao Hotel, but it is not unpleasant......
But their rose empire is a bit interesting, the surnames of the top nobles are all roses, and they are quite regular. Just like Grey's full name omitting the title and family name, and the Christian name is Rose Little Er Fairy Grass Yellow Flower Little Er Fairy Grass Grey, and the myrtle before was Rose Myrtle Ruixiang Hypericum Gwen, although it is a bit of a word count, but it is indeed very interesting.
"Master, I hope you will take me as an apprentice."
When Brother Zhang was looking at his first branch in another world in front of the hut with his license, Gwen suddenly made an unreasonable request, but Brother Zhang didn't even respond to this request, just pressed one hand on the hut.
Then Gwen was shocked to see that the detached cottage was changing shape, and the brick and wood house was becoming a mass of mud and wriggling, and the external shape was constantly changing.
And when it was completely different, Grey could barely believe her eyes, she had never seen anyone who could perform such high-end magic so easily.
"Do you want to try it?" Brother Zhang clapped his hands and said to Gray with a smile, "Try the taste of my restaurant." ”
Brother Zhang needs an indigenous person to taste the compatibility of the things in the small restaurant with this world, after all, it is difficult to reconcile the mouths, Hebei and Hubei are separated by 800 flavors, not to mention a different world.
"Huh?"
Grey was stunned for a moment, but when she saw that Brother Zhang had already pushed the door and walked in, she almost instinctively followed in.
It's just that when she walked in, she couldn't believe her eyes, because she had just seen that it was dirty and tattered, but now when she walked in, it looked like a restaurant, with neat tables, chairs, benches, and a lot of strange equipment and a fat cat sleeping there.
Brother Zhang glanced back at Grey: "What do you want to eat?" ”
Grey stepped forward with a shocked face, and Brother Zhang took off his apron and put it on his body, and came to the stove after a long absence, he opened the storage room and refrigerator to check what else was in it, and handed the menu to Grey: "Whatever you want." ”
Grey picked up the menu, only to find that it was full of unreadable characters, but soon the fonts were beating like life, quickly forming a continental lingua franca that she could understand.
"Oh my God......"
Grey covered her mouth in shock, then squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully, and found that the text was still the lingua franca of the mainland, and she suddenly felt that all the magic she had learned in the first half of her life had been learned from dogs, and the so-called travel was not as good as what she had seen in the past few days.
After careful selection, she was very curious to order an assorted fried rice and a lamb roast with green onions, the reason why she ordered these two was because there was no concept of assorted and mutton there, and she couldn't imagine what it was, so she wanted to see them.
Brother Xiao Zhang hummed, then flipped over the menu and said, "You can add a drink." ”
"That'...... What is this coconut water? ”
Brother Zhang took out a bottle of "Drink from Childhood to Adulthood" and handed it to her.
Grey saw that the master was busy, and she didn't dare to disturb her, so she studied the drink in front of her, which was full of unintelligible words, but there was a portrait of a woman on it, and she swore that she had never seen such a clear image, except for the magic imaging for magicians, neither printing nor drawing had ever been so clear.
And what she thought was even more amazing than the portrait was that this place actually used such pure metal to make drink cans, in the Empire, such metal was usually used for alchemy or magic forging, and it was absolutely impossible to use this kind of high-end goods to drink, and the king did not have that kind of treatment.
After pulling away the drink, she raised her head and took a small sip, and suddenly there was a strange taste in her mouth, this kind of taste she had never tried before, but when she tasted it carefully, it made people feel the feeling of being under the southern sun, and when she closed her eyes, she could clearly feel the breath of the sea on a southern summer afternoon......
And at this time, her assorted fried rice also came up, the colorful vegetables with shrimp, diced ham and diced mushrooms, the impact of fragrance and color came up at once, Grey picked up the spoon and took a bite elegantly, and suddenly the sweet and full feeling poured into her mouth, she dared to swear that this food was far more delicious than any delicacies made by the imperial chef, because I don't know when it began, the chefs of the empire only used spices to pile up ingredients, and she grew up in all kinds of spicy spices since she was a child. I never imagined that such a light method could maintain such a transparent taste.
And after the scallion roasted mutton came up, she was even more shocked, because there was no sheep there, only a kind of meat like deer, but the taste of that meat was not good, they were more accustomed to eating beef, but the texture and deliciousness of beef could not be compared with mutton at all, that mouthful of tender and refreshing mutton, Grey only had to close her eyes and enjoy.
Soon, the girl who was originally noble and elegant became a storm inhaler, and even she poured the mutton sauce on the rice and mixed it without a teacher......
And when Grey was cooking, the sleepy-eyed Xu Wei walked out from behind, she yawned and came to the door and pulled up the roller shutter door, and then turned the wooden sign to the opening, but she didn't expect anyone to come, because although the snow outside had stopped, the temperature was still very low, coupled with the snowballing plague, the small restaurant had lost blood during this time, and the accountant Rhubarb sighed every day and sighed that he couldn't make ends meet.
But just when Xu Wei moved a stool and sat at the door, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then she immediately got up and rushed to Brother Zhang's side, and after passing over, she found that Brother Zhang was standing there shoveling the oil on the iron plate, and there was a girl licking the plate in front of him.
"Brother! You're back! ”
It's been almost four months, and it's been four months since Brother Zhang left, and after he left, Xu Wei realized that this person who usually doesn't talk much and never gives any opinions is so important, after losing him, everything is messed up, everyone is out of line but it's a mess, and this kind of thing has never happened when he is here.
Even if he doesn't care about anything and doesn't ask anything, it's like a needle that fixes the sea, and no matter how others toss, he can't mess up.
"Well, I'm back." Brother Xiao Zhang nodded at Xu Wei: "I opened a branch, and this is what I invited to try." ”
"Branch?"
Xu Wei looked at Gray in front of her in surprise, and at this time, Gray, who was wiping her mouth with a tissue, also began to look at Xu Wei, as a high-level secret magician, she could clearly feel the natural power circulating in Xu Wei's body, very large and fierce, definitely beyond the level of the Imperial Special Magician!
And the next moment, this special magician actually cried, she stood in front of Brother Xiao Zhang and cried like a child, and the reason why she cried was because she made a mess of the world.
Before Brother Zhang came back, Xu Wei never showed any vulnerability, just like the days when her grandmother died, when Brother Zhang came back, all her self-blame and grievances broke out.
Brother Xiao Zhang didn't comfort her, nor did he soften his heart when he saw the girl's tears like others, but only after Xu Wei expressed all his emotions and grievances, and wanted to quit the Twelve Spirits, he said: "Then do you think you have any better way to deal with it at that time?" ”
"No...... Or there is, I don't know, so I'm incompetent. ”
"So you didn't expect it to be that powerful, right?"
"Hmmm......"
Xu Wei didn't know that she had done wrong, but she really didn't know how to control that power, and now the only solution she could think of was to stop being the Twelve Spirits and return all the treasures, and be a cook in a small restaurant with peace of mind, guarding this small courtyard every day, as long as Brother Zhang didn't drive her away, she would be satisfied.
Brother Xiao Zhang lowered his head and fiddled with a sashimi platter, and after hearing Xu Wei's words, he didn't look up but asked with a smile: "Then if it's someone else, is there a better solution?" ”
"Maybe there is......"
"What do you say about rats?"
"He didn't say anything......"
Brother Zhang raised his head and put a sashimi boat in front of Xu Wei and Gray: "Taste it." ”
Grey couldn't understand the conversation between him and Xu Wei, but she could understand and taste, she reached out and picked up a piece of mustard and put it in her mouth, the spicy mustard neutralized the fishy smell of the fish, and then a smell of fat exploded in the mouth, with the dog's tail grass wine next to it, the taste was mellow and rich, making people linger.
"This is delicious! It's so delicious!! Grey covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Is this the pot I gave you?" ”
Brother Xiao Zhang nodded: "Yes, I think this match should be perfect." ”
"It was really perfect! It's so delicious, too! ”
And when Grey was stunned by the deliciousness, Brother Zhang said while wiping his hands with kitchen paper: "The mouse didn't say anything, so why didn't he say anything?" ”
"I don't know ......"
Brother Xiao Zhang sat back in his chair: "Go back and think about it, if you don't understand something, ask Lei Long, and he will explain it to you." ”
Comfort is the most useless thing in the world, Xu Wei is wrong in this matter, she can use better coping measures to deal with it, but if you want to say how much sin she has, it is also not.
How to say it, even if there is no Xu Wei, there will be a crisis this time, at best, different causes lead to the same effect, and the purpose of his centaur expedition to deal with the crisis is this. So the result of having Xu Wei in this matter is actually the same as without Xu Wei, without Xu Wei, there will be others who will cause this crisis, and this is not so much a disaster for the earth as a disaster for mankind.
It can be regarded as a catastrophe, the centaur exploration team is the antidote to this catastrophe, and Xiao Zhang is exchanging the future of the centaur for the future of mankind this time, after all, he is the guardian of the universe, maybe one day he may still take care of the affairs of M78, anyway...... Guardians.
As for Xu Wei, this time is also a lesson for her, but the problem is really not on her.
"Can you bring a few more people tomorrow?" Brother Zhang raised his head and asked Gray, "I want to make a few more dishes for you to try and see the average taste over there." ”
