Chapter 8: Miss Kiri's Crisis
At noon, it was the busiest time in Ladong Town, Han Jin and Miss Qili stood quietly on the second floor, observing the movement below from the window.
The pedestrians downstairs have gathered in a circle, there are almost more than 200 people, and when Han Jin was talking to Miss Qili yesterday, the old man sitting next to Miss Qili was standing in the center of the street at this moment, talking about something with saliva.
"That idiot is also worthy of being a master blacksmith?" the old man shouted as he pointed to a suit of armor, his voice was so loud that Han Jin and Miss Qili upstairs could hear it clearly.
There is a wooden shelf standing next to the old man, there is a set of armor hanging on the shelf, the shape of the armor is very strange, full of abstract taste, the flat place is a few more bulges, the sleek place is polished out of a line of stiff edges and corners, the most annoying thing is that the left and right sides of the armor are completely asymmetrical, especially the leg armor on the right, which is pitifully short and pitifully thin.
The old man was very good at scolding, first attacking the craftsmanship of the blacksmith Villar, and after the onlookers accepted it, he turned to attack Villar's character, and then began to question the IQ of Villar's parents, and finally involved the entire dwarven race.
"Coming, coming......" The people on the periphery began to twitch.
Villar, who still had a-eyed eye in the corner, squeezed in from outside, and he had just woken up from a hangover, and he was furious when he heard someone outside scolding the dwarf race.
When the old man saw Villar come in, he pretended not to know anything, and was still scolding, but the conversation turned to Villar's craftsmanship again.
Villar stared at the armor and suddenly jumped up: "You nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense?" the old man sneered, "Master Villars, there is your seal behind the armor, isn't this armor forged by you?"
"I forged it!" Villar roared like thunder, "But...... But that's what the guests want!"
"Guest's request? hahaha...... Master Villars, don't take everyone else for fools, who would ask for such armor, is this something that people can wear?" Hearing this, the onlookers burst into laughter, and the old man exclaimed triumphantly: "I tell you, the guest you mentioned was in a hurry to leave Ladong Town because he was fooled, so he handed over the armor to me, let me reveal your true colors!"
"You...... You ......" Villar's face was flushed with anxiety, but he couldn't speak, and no one would believe him when he said it.
The old man was even more proud, and the topic began to extend to Villar's parents and the entire dwarf race, and the people around him laughed from time to time, Villar's face became more and more red, and finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, he roared, his body rushed forward, and punched the old man's lower abdomen, according to Villar's own wishes, he wanted to break the old man's mouth, but height was a problem, and he could only pick a convenient place to attack.
The old man was caught off guard, and was beaten upright, and flew upside down like a kite, knocking over seven or eight onlookers, and rolling to the ground motionless, blood spurting from the corners of his mouth with foam.
"Killed someone......" The onlookers were in an uproar and rushed to flee in all directions.
"Now, your troubles are solved. Han Jin retracted his gaze and sat down on the chair generously.
Miss Qili suddenly turned around and looked directly at Han Jin, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her eyes cold, mixed with a bit of anger and condemnation.
"What, what's wrong?" Han Jin said lightly.
"No, you're right!" Miss Qili took a long breath.
"In that case...... Shouldn't you pay me the other half of the gold coin?" Han Jin smiled.
Miss Qili took out a silk scarf bag and was about to throw it on the ground, but she paused again, then slowly put the silk scarf bag on the table, and said word by word: "Master Raphael, this time I really 'thank you' so much." ”
"You're so polite. Han Jin didn't check how many gold coins there was, he directly put them away, and then paused: "It seems that I have become persona non grata now, but ...... I want to tell you that although I am a nobleman who has lived a very failed life, this does not mean that others can insult me at will, of course, I also regret it, I just want to punish him a little and let him control his mouth in the future, I didn't expect it to end up like this. ”
Miss Qili didn't say anything, only waved her hand coldly.
Han Jin stood up with a smile and walked slowly downstairs, and Stillberg obediently followed behind Han Jin.
Walking from the back door of the store to another street, Han Jin let out a long breath, his mood was a little low, in fact, what he said just now was the truth, but unfortunately, the other party didn't believe his explanation.
Although there was an accident in the end, it was by no means a bad thing for Miss Qili, because she had an extra way to keep Villar firmly in control, and even forced Villar to sign a slave contract. She is a bitter master, if she refuses to compensate, Villar will definitely suffer severe punishment, and signing the contract will become Villar's last way to survive, however, Han Jin knows better that no matter what Miss Qili chooses, it is just the last struggle.
Finding that the sunlight was blocked, Han Jin turned his head, and in addition to Stillberg, there was also a tall Moxinke behind him, Han Jin said strangely: "Moxinke, your task has been completed, what are you still following us?"
"The employment relationship has been terminated, why am I staying there?" said Moshinke with a smile.
"Oh......" Han Jin was about to ask something, but suddenly he heard someone behind him shouting, 'I've finally found you two guys!' and then someone grabbed him by the shoulder.
Han Jin turned to the side, he knew the other party, Stillberg quietly pointed it out to him yesterday, and it was his old butler, Barbatto, who grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Do you still have a conscience?" Barbatto cried out hoarsely, "For the sake of the master, I have always regarded you as my own children, when did you ask me, and I didn't satisfy you? How dare you run to my house to steal something??, two little beasts, take it off for me immediately, take it off for me......" Barbato shouted as he pulled down Han Jin's clothes.
Han Jin frowned, reached out and pushed Barbatto out.
Barbato took a few steps back, and his lips began to tremble with anger: "Okay, dare to do it, give me ......"
Suddenly, Barbato froze, the woman next to him who just wanted to scold was stunned, and several members of the security team behind him were also stunned, Han Jin had an extra handful of gold coins in his palm, and threw it out, a golden light flashed in the air, and then Han Jin stretched out his hand again, his palm seemed to be attractive, and all the gold coins that flew down returned to his palm without pulling it out, and his movements looked very chic.
And then. Han Jin smiled, and with a thumb of his hand, a gold coin drew a shiny trajectory and flew straight towards Barbato.
Perhaps because this scene was too familiar, familiar to the extent that it penetrated deep into the bone marrow, an extremely bright smile bloomed on Barbatto's face, and he stepped forward with a flexible movement that did not match the old man, caught the gold coin steadily, and raised his voice: "Young Master Xie ...... reward"
"Hehe......" Han Jin smiled, he didn't bother with Babato anymore, turned to Stillberg and Moshinke and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal." ”
Barbatto was old in the end, and he only reacted after catching the gold coin, it was not right to turn his face, and it was not right not to turn his face, after all, the slave form just now was made by him willingly, and no one forced him, he stood there dumbfounded, unable to make a sound.
"Go away!" Moshinko stretched out his hand and pushed aside a security guard who was trying to get in the way, and several security guards changed color together, but they could see the badge on Moxinko's chest, and lowered their heads in gray.
In fact, most planes are the same, either they have power, money, or terrifying power, and it is difficult for the weak to be respected by others.
In a small hotel on the east side of Ladong Town, Han Jin and the three of them sat around the square table, and Mo Xinke put down the menu and asked, "Young Master Raphael, what do you want to eat?"
"Don't use honorifics in the future, it feels too awkward. Han Jin smiled: "Just call me Raphael." ”
Moxinke thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay." ”
"You order yours, what about me......" Han Jin hesitated for a moment: "Bring me two plates of salted cassava." "Actually, with Han Jin's thoughts, he doesn't want to eat here, it's too wasteful, how good is it to buy some cassava in the market, and then bake it and eat it himself?
"What's so good about that thing. Moshinko pouted.
"I like light. Han Jin said with a smile.
In a moment, the dishes they asked for were all put on the table, Moxinke wanted grass fragrant meat and roasted dragon heart, and a bottle of wine, the name of roasted dragon heart sounded scary, but this dragon was not another dragon, just a small herbivorous animal, similar to a lizard, without any attack power. As for Stillberg, he didn't want anything, in the past ten years, he has always been unswervingly figuring out Raphael's thoughts, sensing Raphael's emotional changes, and taking this as his life's work, although the real Raphael has disappeared, but it is incredible that Stillberg still sensed some information from a certain channel, just like now, he clearly knows that Han Jin is very distressed about this money, although Han Jin's smile is so warm and generous.
"Mo Xinke, you just said that you have terminated the contract with Miss Qili?" Han Jin asked.
"Hmm. Moshinko nodded: "She hired me just to let me deal with that Villar, and you solved it, why is she still raising me?"
"That's too fast, I've just finished here, and I'm going to drive you away right away?" Han Jin sighed.
"Huh...... After I arrived in Ladong Town, I didn't do anything, anyway, the money was received, let me go. ”
"Then what do you want to do next?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
"What do you want to do?"
"I? I haven't figured it out yet. ”
"I don't have any plans. Mo Xinke spat out a broken bone and said with a smile: "The teacher said that my brain is not very useful, and he advised me to make more friends with smart people so that I can learn things." ”
"Oh?" Han Jin smiled secretly in his heart, Mo Xinke was by no means as honest as he looked, on the contrary, he was very clever, for example, yesterday he cooperated with himself to scare Villar, for example, just now he embarrassed those security guards a little and made himself angry.
"Raphael, you're a very smart person. Moxinke suddenly said straight to the point.
"Why do you say that?" Han Jin said with a smile.
"Yesterday you said you could use your mind to solve that Villar, I thought you were a big talker, who thought you really did it, but your method was a little damaged, hehe......"
"I don't think I'm wrong. Han Jin said seriously, he understood very well that Mo Xinke said that he was yin to his face, and he wanted to test his heart: "Miss Qili helped him and believed in him, what did he do?
"Hmm...... You have a point. Mo Xinke thought for a while, nodded and said, "By the way, when I went downstairs to chase you, I heard Miss Qili reading your name, Raphael, I think Miss Qili is in love with you." ”
"Really?" Stillberg exclaimed with joy, he knew the young master's thoughts, and when he heard the news, he was happy for Han Jin from the bottom of his heart.
"What do you want!" Han Jin glanced at Stillberg: "Like......? She's hating me. ”
"Young Master, why?"
"Because her people were beaten by Villar, she thought everything was a trap that I had deliberately laid on purpose. ”
"Did you do it on purpose?" asked Moshinko.
"Yes. Han Jin said softly, in a short period of time, Mo Xinke has tested himself several times, no matter what conclusion the other party draws, he has already seen through Mo Xinke's 'honesty' first: "My mistake is that I overestimated Villar, I thought that he injured someone in the Holy Crown City, and finally had to run to this place, he will definitely remember the lesson firmly, who wants to ...... His temper is so big, he will come up and beat him to death. ”
Moshinko was silent for a moment: "Raphael, you say...... What kind of person is Miss Kiri?"
"Very smart, but it's a little less experienced, I don't think I have much experience before. Han Jin thought for a while: "When I asked her people to scold the street, she didn't object, which means that she didn't see the danger, but as soon as it happened, she immediately reacted that everything was deliberately arranged by me, I think, it is enough to prove her cleverness." ”
Mo Xinke scratched his head, as if he could understand what Han Jin meant, but he didn't seem to understand too much.
"Give her a few more years and she'll be a very powerful person. Han Jin pointed to his head: "Of course, if she can live safely for a few years." ”
Moshinke said movingly: "Raphael, what do you mean by this?"
"A dwarf who has committed a crime, without the support of a backer, does he dare to betray Miss Qili?" Han Jin said softly: "In my opinion, there are only two situations, one is to be lured by others, and the other is to be threatened by others. I know that, and Miss Kiri knows, but what did she do? first told you to kill Villar, and then asked me to deal with Villar, hehe...... Moshinko, you still haven't understood?"
Mo Xinke shook his head, his eyes looked at Han Jin without blinking, this time he didn't pretend to be honest, he really didn't understand.
In the fight with that person or those people, Miss Qili was at an absolute disadvantage, so she could only and only dare to point the finger at Villar, and she didn't even think of using persuasion and persuasion, she directly chose the extreme, because she knew very well that under the control of those people, Villar's possible surname was very small. ”
"But...... This only shows that Miss Qili is in a predicament, does it mean that her life is in danger?" Mo Xinke said: "Maybe those people are trying to force Miss Qili to agree to what conditions they have?"
"Yes, can you think of this?" Han Jin said with a smile, "Your teacher has mistaken you." ”
"Ha......" Moxinke scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and then changed the subject: "Raphael, you continue." ”
"Whether Miss Qili is in danger or not is determined by her surname. Han Jin said slowly: "To be honest, I went to find Miss Qili, on the one hand, I wanted to make some money, and on the other hand, I wanted to recommend myself with actions, since I can solve Villar for her, I will naturally solve other troubles for her, although her opponent is very powerful, but at least I will bring her a little hope, it is always right to try, right?"
Moshinko listened very carefully, and Stillberg was already stupid.
"I was clever on my part, my mistake was not only to see Villar wrong, but also to Miss Kirly, after the incident, she did not hide her dislike for me at all, but she gave me the other half of the gold coins, hehe...... If she retaliates against me with a debt, there is nothing I can do. Moreover, she wanted to throw the gold coin on the ground to show her contempt and anger, but in the end she put it on the table anyway. Han Jin paused and continued: "These, let me know that Miss Qili is a person who loves and hates clearly and is very principled, she will not bully and humiliate traders because of the hatred in her heart, nor will she hide her hatred because the other party is a trader." A principled person who loves and hates is usually very strong, so to speak, if faced with irresistible pressure or oppression, they would rather be a piece of jade than a brick and a brick that steals their lives!
"Understood. Moshinko nodded: "In the increasingly chaotic continent, this kind of person is becoming less and less. ”
"Actually, I'm guessing. Han Jin put the last piece of cassava in his mouth: "Things may not develop according to what I said, accidents can happen at any time." ”
"What do you mean...... You're talking nonsense?"
"You can take this for nonsense. Han Jin smiled, his gaze suddenly fell on the menu, the price of a plate of saltwater cassava was only twelve copper coins, and after careful calculation, this inn only charged a little more.
Han Jin beckoned, and a waiter greeted him, God knows if the waiter of this kind of small inn can be regarded as a waiter, he smiled and said, "Young master, what else do you need." ”
"Fifty plates of salted cassava. ”
"How much??" was the only Stillberg able to keep his expression unchanged, and Moshinko and the waiter asked in unison, both of whom thought they had misheard.
"Fifty trays of saltwater cassava, is there a problem?"
The waiter stood there for a long time, didn't say that there was a problem, didn't say that there was no problem, and walked directly to the back hall.
"What do you want so much saltwater cassava for?" said Moshin Kochi.
"Eat. Han Jin replied very succinctly.
It didn't take long for the plate after plate of saltwater cassava to be served, Han Jin was not polite, he threw off his arms and ate it, a certain foundation had been laid in his body, and he could absorb energy without chewing and swallowing slowly, so he naturally required speed.
When eating the first few plates, Mo Xinke still had the mentality of watching the excitement, but when Han Jin swept away more than 20 plates of saltwater cassava in one go, Mo Xinke's eyes widened more and more, and he couldn't help but bend down to observe the movement under the table, thinking that Han Jin used some method to hide or throw away the cassava, but Han Jin was at a critical moment of primitive energy accumulation, and he was reluctant to let go of the cassava residue, let alone the whole cassava, and everything on and off the table was clean.
In the blink of an eye, Han Jin had already eaten more than forty plates, and the waiter who served the food was already numb, Mo Xinke put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "I...... I said, Raphael, you're not going to be a dragon, are you?
"Is there a dragon like me?"
"Not necessarily, high-level dragons can unleash transfiguration!"
"Have you ever heard of a dragon who likes to eat saltwater cassava?" Han Jin didn't forget to smile in his busy schedule: "Don't eat the delicious barbecue, eat cassava?"
"Kind of makes sense. Moshinko thought for a moment, "But what if you're a very poor dragon?"
"I'm really ...... Even though I'm poor, what does the dragon symbolize? If I'm bored here with you, I'll fly to the Holy Crown City to find Lord Dismark, okay?"
"But it is impossible for humans to eat so much......! If your last name is a bit withdrawn...... I mean, it's weird, but I just like to eat saltwater cassava?"
"Mo Xinke, to be honest, did your teacher stimulate you fiercely before?" Han Jin asked, he could see it, he couldn't underestimate Mo Xinke's mind, but don't overestimate him either, he likes to raise the bar with others not because he noticed a problem, but purely because of habit!
"What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Han Jin shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, I admit that I'm a dragon, okay?"
"Who believes it?!" Mo Xinke scoffed: "If you were a dragon, you would let Miss Qili go, let me tell you, dragons are extremely silvery!"
Although Han Jin has always used five stresses, four beauties and three loves to 'strictly demand' himself, he almost chopped the plate in his hand to Moxinke's face, what kind of person is this?!When analyzing Miss Qili, he kept raising the bar there, okay, you should be cautious in serious matters, don't blame him, just now he denied that he was a dragon, Moxinke was raising the bar, and finally admitted that Moxinke began to raise the bar in the opposite direction again, which was simply speechless! If you only look at the appearance of Moxinke, or the short time of contact, no one can see that Moxinke is this kind of person!
