Chapter 187: The Down-and-Out Scholar
The first rays of the morning sun shone over Billy's royal city, and Yale Jasmine and Shirley knocked on David Mo's door, but after a long time, there was no response, and after some inquiry, they learned that the man had left before dawn.
The innkeeper handed the two girls a letter and explained, "This is a letter left to you by the guest officer, and I must hand it over to you." ”
Yale Jasmine reached out to take the letter, glanced at Shirley, and the two of them returned to the room before opening it. The moment the envelope was opened, a bank note from the Holy Empire fell.
A hint of uneasiness flashed in the hearts of the two girls, and they began to read, and after reading it, both of them saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
David Mo was gone, and the morning after they agreed to leave, he went away quietly. The silver ticket was the 10,000 gold coins that the two of them had given on board, and now it was given to them as a parting gift, and at last he told them two words to pay attention to safety and the like, and then he never said anything more.
"I didn't say where I was going, I didn't say when I would return home, I left only a silver ticket and left mercilessly. Yale Jasmine's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, and she was secretly sad in her heart.
In the past, when the man didn't leave, she didn't feel how important he was, but now that he was gone, it suddenly made her heart empty, and she didn't know what to do.
......
A black steed galloped along the desert road, in the middle of the land of nations, with no signs or guidance, but fortunately he had a map provided by Leo so that he would not get lost.
Because he was alone, he left the carriage with two young girls, and now he was alone, and he couldn't help but feel a little lonely on this long journey.
The road was the road to the principality of Estonia, according to the plan he had drawn up. He'd look around for a while before choosing a time to do it, and Leo said he had only two weeks. Although it was a bit urgent, he felt that he should be able to finish it on time.
He pulled out a beast bead from his bosom. There was a faint determination in his eyes, and he muttered, "Anissa...... After this is done, we will be able to go to Wuzi Mountain. ”
At that moment, a group of horses suddenly came out of the desert and crossed his position very quickly, and then a group of men turned their horses around and forced him to stop.
"Yo Yo Yo It's rare to see such a handsome knight. A table of talents should have hooked up with countless little girls!" A big man led by him laughed twice, causing a burst of laughter from his companions around him.
A big man behind him also quipped: "Jack, don't you have a crush on this little white face? Why don't you go to the main gate and take the dry road instead?!!"
A group of them talked and laughed. He didn't pay any attention to David Mo, and after a while, the man in charge shouted, "Enough is enough......! God of Light bless, it must be a fat sheep!"
Then he pointed at David Mo and said, "Little white face, this road has always been protected by our group of brothers. Take out all the money you have, save it and let's go on a killing spree!"
His eyes flickered twice, and he was obviously a veteran of extortion, which gave the robbed a glimmer of hope, and usually handed over the gold coins honestly. After all, many people want to save their lives.
As for whether they will kill people after taking out all the gold coins hidden in their bodies, it depends on their mood, at least until now, their mood has not been better.
David Mo has not reacted, not because he is soft-hearted, mainly because he was not able to understand what these people said at first, the language is basically the same across the continent, but the accent in some places needs to be listened carefully to understand the meaning of the speaker.
When he understood what they were saying, his eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he withdrew the beast bead back into the earl's space, the silver light flashed in his hand, and he went straight to the group of people without saying a word.
The white knight's movements were so sudden that before the robbers, who were still laughing, could react, they saw a mist of blood scatter, and a huge object was thrown into the air, and it was the head of their leader!
Splattered with blood, several robbers with slightly higher cultivation levels immediately shouted, "Hurry up and stop him! This person is a cultivator, and many of us can consume him!"
As soon as their words fell, a silver spear pierced their chests one after another, killing them in an instant, and a group of robbers immediately scattered, trying to escape from this place of death, but the white knight had no intention of letting them go.
The spear shot out like a dragon, the move was deadly, the head of the spear was scattered like stars in the sky, and patches of blood mist rose suddenly, and after three or five minutes, the group of robbers were all killed.
The white knight coldly glanced at the corpses all over the ground, these people met him today, and they could only count their lives bad. He didn't know that there were hundreds of pairs of eyes lying in the withered bushes in the distance, and the robbers and bandits who had wanted to share a piece of the pie with him had all refuted their minds and returned the way they came, which also made his next road much calmer.
......
The royal city of Estonia, like the Kingdom of Belgium, is a medium-sized city, but it seems to be richer and more prosperous, which is why the four surrounding countries are ready to annex it.
In the land of all nations, it has always been the big countries that bully the small countries, and the small countries can only unite to protect themselves, Estonia is unfortunate, several small principalities around it have been annexed, and now it is completely isolated.
After passing the inspection of the gate guards, the white knight walked into the city, and there was nothing unusual on the faces of the passers-by, who did not know that a conspiracy against them was quietly approaching.
In an ordinary restaurant, the young man was standing respectfully aside, waiting for a man in white to order, "This potato roast is the signature dish of our store, the price is affordable, the portion is sufficient, the guest might as well try it." ”
The man in white smiled faintly, nodded and said, "Then have one, add a small bottle of white wine, and give me three pieces of toast." With that, he took out a silver coin and handed it to the lad as a tip.
The young man left with a thousand thanks, and he rarely met such a generous guest. At this time, the man in white is paying attention to the conversation of the people around him, and this kind of place is generally a good place for men to talk.
Not far away, several middle-aged men sat together and blushed, only to hear one of them say excitedly: "Of course you have to attach yourself to Tao Wanguo! Their general Edward has said that we in Estonia are their best allies!"
Another person immediately retorted: "Edward is just talking about it, who knows what he thinks in his heart?! Or should he be attached to the Duchy of Slo! Their great general Sauron has promised that once Estonia is attacked, he will definitely send troops to help!"
There are also two people who support attachment to the Duchy of Neb and the Duchy of the Czech Republic, but no one proposes that any country should not be attached to it, and that it should rely on its own country to strengthen itself.
A middle-aged man next to them finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly got up and scolded: "The backbone of the Estonian people is ruined by the money of you people! All day long, he only thinks about relying on other countries, and never thinks about how to strengthen himself, so that other countries dare not underestimate him." Everyone is like this, and sooner or later the country will be defeated!
The faces of several men next to him turned red at his reprimand, and they couldn't tell whether they were ashamed or angry, and finally one of them couldn't help but retort: "The country is small, how can you be self-reliant?
The down-and-out scholar sneered twice and said disdainfully: "There is a small country named Billy in the east, which is as strong as the French Empire and can still stand on its own, what a proud bone it is!
The quarrel of several customers immediately attracted the guys in the store, and after some questioning, the people who watched the excitement around realized that this down-and-out scholar had already owed a lot of money to this restaurant.
"Break the house! Usually you owe some wine and food on credit, and our store will put up with it, but now you still want to smash our business! You hurry up! If you don't leave, I'll call someone from the Public Security Bureau!"
The guy shouted twice, and the people around him immediately burst into laughter, all waiting to see the jokes of the broken scholars, and the middle-aged people who had just talked about attaching themselves to other countries were even more proud, and one of them said arrogantly: "Hurry up and get out!
The young man in white who was originally quietly drinking and eating on the side finally put down the chopsticks in his hand, and in the midst of the laughter, his voice was a little abrupt, "How much does this gentleman owe?" ”
The guy hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This gentleman, don't pay off the debt for him, he is a down-and-out scholar, and it is impossible for him to have the money to pay you back." ”
The young man in white smiled faintly and said, "Since you know that he can't afford to change it, and let him come here to eat, your restaurant is also very good...... Say, how much, I helped him pay it back. ”
The guy rubbed his hands, and was a little embarrassed to be praised by the young man in white, he scratched his head and said, "Guest officer, you have won the award...... This scholar owes a total of three gold coins......"
The young man in white took out three gold coins from his bosom, handed them to the man, and said, "Let your shopkeeper write off the account, and don't say that this scholar owes money." The man hurriedly agreed, and left with the gold coin.
The down-and-out scholar glanced at the young man in white and said lightly: "Don't think that if you help me repay the money, I will be grateful to you! I will pay you back this money sooner or later!"
The young man in white shook his head and said, "It's hard to say if you can see you again, so how can you pay back the money." But there is one thing I want to remind you that it is good for people to be wise, but not to be cunning......"
After saying that, he left a few silver coins on the table, got up and left the restaurant directly. Only the down-and-out scholar was left standing alone at the table, his face embarrassed, obviously his careful thinking was seen through by the young man in white.
