Chapter 471: The Girls Who Missed the Meal
Someone struggled to remember when the hell was the case with these two boxes. The earliest impression seems to be when I first returned to Wulian City, and it was also the time when I was the most wealthy. At that time, the two girls were clamoring to buy some magic materials, and they also carried their sisters out, and they agreed to it with nonsense, of course, they didn't remember to agree to anything.
It seems that this is the thing in front of you, and only then can you afford to spend such money. Just to say......
"You've used such good materials, and you have so much magic attached to it, why don't you think of a way to make the weight a little lighter, so that we can move it better." Someone said to the lich who had been silent.
"How light? It makes it easy for the thief to move away entirely. Fen pushed back directly.
…… Someone is speechless.
This is a real dilemma. The weight of the cash drawer itself is the most powerful anti-theft device. If it is too convenient, it will be equally convenient for those with bad intentions.
At this time, someone suddenly remembered that when they were on Earth, there were many games with the attack skill of throwing money, and the more money was thrown, the greater the damage. Now that I think about it, this setting is really very scientific. It's just that the hurtful part is not the value of money, but the 'weight' of money, the weight in a real, physical sense.
Looking at these two boxes, someone couldn't help but feel worried. In the past, because these blockages were eye-catching, they caused a lot of trouble. So the guy who thinks that money will bite people tries his best to transfer the income in his hand one by one and buy a peace. What I didn't expect was that money would not only bite people, but also crush people......
With this amount, if you throw it with a trebuchet as a stone projectile, whoever it hits will die. Of course, what kind of trebuchet is needed to throw an item of this weight is not to be thought about for the time being.
He sighed, feeling deeply self-inflicted. Lin Gu couldn't waste or save his life, and used all his weight-related magic. Sitting on his horse and sinking his waist, his hands folded, and his legs straining, he picked up the box and walked cautiously to the borrowed warehouse downstairs.
Seeing their teacher walk away with difficulty, the two girls walked up to the lich and said suspiciously, "Well, why is the teacher moving things like this?" Sister, you didn't tell the teacher that the magic on the box could be adjusted. ”
"Well, didn't I say that? I'll say it. Well, I don't seem to have said it, so let's take it as if I said it, and you don't have to worry about it so much. Hurry up, hurry up, move your things down, and get ready for dinner. Fen looked very indifferent, urging the two girls to move.
The people who also watched the whole process on the side had only one thought, that is, a pit is still a pit deep.
Over the next few days, Uzov's group of companions finally stopped. No more looking for some unknown nobles, muttering about what to buy.
It is true that the nobles near the Golden Waterway are very wealthy, but they are still a step behind the traditional nobles of the military state. has to take down the sword of the ship, and it is estimated that it will have to be done by someone at the level of the fifth duke of the militaristic state, or even the emperor himself, so that he has the financial resources.
But people of this level will not easily come into contact with people who do not have any noble blood. The magician, who has no king and no country, has always been the target of the nobles. The great nobles do not directly meet this kind of person, which is already the consensus of people of the aristocratic level. No matter how talented the other party is, and how valuable knowledge he has, he must be introduced by the lower-level nobles, and it is possible to meet those real nobles layer by layer.
But...... Someone is now simply close to the nobility and far away, let alone to slap them in. Of course, for Lin, dealing with nobles was not something that would make him feel sick. When he was in Wulian City, in order to find a sponsor for the academy, he didn't pull the lich, lick his face, and go to the banquets of the nobles everywhere. But just because you can do it doesn't mean you like it or have to do it.
Someone now, who wants nothing from those who are noble. Since there is nothing to ask for, there is naturally no need to deal with people from the aristocratic class, so there is no need to waste time meeting with those people who look like dogs.
Even during the period of Wulian City, contact with the nobles was not a good memory. The discrimination of those superior people is deeply rooted in the bones. No matter how beautiful they speak, they will always reveal it inadvertently.
Therefore, for banquet invitations, whether they are from the merchant class or the aristocratic class, someone will politely decline. While waiting for the ship, he just wandered around every day with nothing to do, sometimes alone, sometimes Fen would follow him out into the streets. If you meet someone on the street, of course, you will politely decline all invitations.
As for those people who want to hide, why don't you just go to the street and stay in a hotel. This is because someone still wants to try their luck and see if they can find something left behind by other fellow villagers. Even if you don't look at the face of your fellow villagers...... Just kidding, it's Da Vinci, any manuscript, autograph, or used thing can be taken back as a family heirloom. The importance of that portrait had been raised to the highest level by him.
There's just one thing that someone hasn't thought through. In the past, he was able to snub the powerful with such an attitude, because in the places where he stayed, the aristocratic forces were usually inferior to the local magician forces. This also caused the fact that although the Wizards' Association was a loose organization, the nobles would act with restraint in order to avoid touching the red line that they didn't know which one and inviting the disaster of annihilation.
But where he is today is within the borders of an empire, and he is still an out-of-town with no identity. Even the dogs of the Vida militaristic state are more noble than people in other places, which is the common perception of the militarists. Not to mention those nobles with good blood and noble status. Even if it was only a viscount of the Vidal militaristic state, he dared to reprimand the king of some small country.
Even if a magician has had many seemingly incredible experiences, the beauty around him seems to have been a demon king. For the militarists, the right thing is what the militaristic man does, and the wrong thing is all the things that are not submissive to the militaristic man. There is no other way for the world to operate than to revolve around itself. Therefore, the rudeness of a certain magician is an attitude that deserves death.
However, dealing with a mage requires strategy, especially if you want something in the opponent's hand. Obviously taking by force will only make other nobles look down on them and think that they have lost the bearing that a civilized person should have. But the successive disregard was enough to anger a nobleman who thought highly of himself. Naturally, there will be people who are not so rational and make some irrational choices.
At least, when dinner time came, and the two teenage girls who were supposed to come back to take care of everything didn't show up, someone would notice that something was wrong, no matter how sluggish they were.
Since the girls came to their side more than ten years ago, they have never put down what they should be doing, played outside until they couldn't miss it, and then missed the meal. Maybe it's insecurity, they are afraid that they will be ruthlessly abandoned when they are no longer useful. So in someone's impression, he only dislikes the two girls for being too much, and he hasn't had a chance to complain that they don't do anything.
Don't dare to come back because you didn't have any prey for dinner?
This happened when they were younger. But as he got older, his hunting skills became much more sophisticated, and as a second-ring magic apprentice who couldn't hunt a small animal that could be eaten, he could throw away his wand, hang himself, or go home to farm. Unless luck is really that bad, there are no other living creatures within the radius except for a few masters and apprentices.
But no matter how bad luck is, it's in the wild! Where is this? The river port city of Jasvan City! The creatures of the Lost Land have a deep-rooted concept of territory, and their ordinary life is rarely close to the circle of human life. So as long as you stay in the city and want to hunt a small animal to eat, you can probably only find the mouse in the ditch.
However, in the city, there is no war, no targeting, and no shyness, it is really a joke that you will starve to death.
So they delayed because they wanted to buy fresh ingredients?
Food is such a thing, even in the city, there is only a morning market, there is no 24-hour supermarket all year round. It is possible to find a place to serve dinner at dusk, but if it is too late, the maidens should also rush back and ask the inn to prepare dinner. Someone doesn't get angry over such a trivial matter. Instead of being like now, you can't even see a figure.
Really overplayed? Still is......
I had a casual dinner and was speechless all night. Of course, the two wild girls were nowhere to be seen.
The next morning, there was a knock on the door.
"Lord Tripwood." Uzov's companion, the noblewoman's daughter, knocked on the door of someone and the lich.
After Lin opened the door, he looked at the aristocratic girl who was considered to be beautiful and had a bit of a wild demeanor, and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"There's a guest who wants to see you." When she said this, she was a little uneasy. Then he hurriedly explained, "I know that Your Excellency does not want to continue to waste time on the issue of buying and selling ship knives. But the visiting guest, he assures that he is not here to buy or sell, and he does not want to reveal his intentions, but only insists on seeing you. And ......"
"And what?"
"If you say you don't want to meet, you'll regret it later." After the aristocratic woman relayed this, she already regretted it. But behind the visiting envoy, her family network can go straight to the level of the five dukes, and it is not something she can easily refuse, so she can only bite the bullet.
Lin smiled. In the past few days, this is the first nobleman to speak harshly. Before, whether it was the envoy or the nobleman himself, he was polite or not polite, it was just a lingering arrogance, and they still cared about the surface kung fu. But this newcomer, it doesn't seem to be so. "Are you in the hall? I'll go meet him and see what he has to say. ”
