Chapter 96: Earl Stewart
When David found the office of Wang Du in charge of handling development affairs, and handed over his materials and applications, he only got one reply: leave the address and wait for the notice.
"Thanks to the gold and jewels from Varian." After hearing the reply from the reception staff, David knew that this matter might not be so easy to do, and he might not waste much time in the royal capital.
Moreover, the royal capital will not provide any food and lodging for David, Sharon and Newton, and personal problems such as housing and food must be solved by David himself.
Fortunately, David came out this time with a lot of gold and jewelry, and Newton led the two of them, and after exchanging all these things into the currency of the Kingdom of Tiran, they had the basis for living in the royal city for a long time.
"The out-of-town city saves money, but the staff here don't go to the big, chaotic out-of-town city to find people."
David and others can only choose to live in the high-priced inner city, but it is not a simple matter to live in the inner city, and it is not enough to have money.
"You need to issue a certificate."
The innkeeper told David that if he wanted to live in the inner city, even if it was only for a short period of time, he had to have an official certificate proving that David was reasonable to stay in the inner city before he could stay in the hotel.
In addition, it is also possible to have the guarantee of the local nobles of the royal capital, and the guarantee of the nobles has the same effect as the official certificate.
In desperation, David had to make another trip to the development department and ask the receptionist to help issue a certificate, for which he spent an extra few gold coins.
Seeing the satisfied smile on the other party's face, David also inquired by the way, under normal circumstances, how long does it take for the application document to be approved?
Perhaps the light of the gold coin was too dazzling, and the receptionist, who was confused, told David in a much gentler and kind tone than before: "There is no exact time for this matter, and if you are lucky enough to be noticed by the people above, it will be dealt with in two or three days; If you're unlucky, it's not surprising that you've been sitting there for months without a response. β
Moreover, David also wanted to 'declare allegiance to His Majesty the King' this time, which is a little more troublesome - if the upper officials who deal with it think that such a big thing should be blamed on His Majesty? It is not impossible to just throw this application aside and eat ashes.
"Understood, thank you!"
Reaching out to shake hands with the other party in thanks, the slight doubt in the eyes of the reception staff disappeared after feeling the hard touch coming from the palm of his hand, and returned a brighter smile.
But I just smiled back, and I didn't mention anything like asking more about help.
After scolding in his heart, David left the office with a smile on his face.
Anyway, the certificate was issued, and then I went to the hotel with the certificate to book a room, and paid a month's deposit directly.
"Pay a month's deposit directly? Are we going to stay here that long? Sharon looked at the environment of the hotel and was satisfied with the condition of the room.
The furnishings are simple and very clean, the furniture is not a little damaged and old, the bedding is similar to new, and there are even green plants in the house, I don't know where the boss got it? The weather is just starting to warm up, right?
The couple booked an ensuite with three bedrooms, a shared living room, a simple bathroom and toilet, which was cleaned every once in a while to ensure it didn't disturb the guests.
This kind of environment and service is indeed worthy of the high accommodation fee.
"I don't think you can get things done in a month." David is also very satisfied with the environment here, which is a little expensive, but he is not short of money now: "I am looking forward to it now, and someone will come to the door to find something quickly." β
According to Newton, the Kingdom of Tiran admires the strong very much and attaches great importance to those who have strength, and David wondered if there was any noble child who suddenly wanted to rob the people's daughter because of Sharon's beauty, and was beaten down by Sharon, a beautiful woman, such an interesting anecdote may be able to attract the attention of some people, and then notice himself as the head of Winter Village......
"Wait, is there something wrong with this plan?"
"What's wrong?"
"According to the traditional story, shouldn't you stand up, defeat those nobles who want to snatch me, stage heroes to save beauty, and then attract the attention of big shots?" Sharon listened to David's plan while eating, and it sounded like she was all busy with her own work. David, the real village chief, actually watched the excitement from the side the whole time?
"That kind of story is too clichΓ©." The Kingdom of Tiran has been strong for so many years, and it is estimated that this kind of thing has happened to heroes saving the United States I don't know how many times, in comparison, how can a beautiful woman who should be a victim directly kill the other party to attract attention?
Even though this is a world with mysterious powers, in the minds of most people, beauty is generally to be protected, rather than to stand up and protect the role of others.
"Well, there's some truth to that." Sharon inserted a piece of meat, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly: "Then what should I do?" Wandering around the city? β
Since she wants to make some noise and attract some people's attention, then Sharon can't hide in the hotel and not go out, otherwise no matter how good-looking she looks, others won't be able to see it!
"No, if I'm right, someone will soon take the initiative to send it to the door and be beaten." David took a sip of juice, and then looked at the thing in his hand with great satisfaction: "This is good, it tastes like grape juice, what is this?" β
Newton, who was next to him, was concentrating on eliminating the food in front of him, but after hearing David's question, he turned his head to look at it, and then stared at David with a caring expression: "Grape juice." β
"......" David coughed lightly to relieve his embarrassment, he couldn't explain why he asked such an imbecile question, he didn't know that there were grapes in this world, after all, he hadn't seen them in Irontree Castle.
The hillbilly label was completely unoff, and Davidian ate quietly and waited for the fish to take the bait.
Unexpectedly, the fish was hooked faster than he expected, and before the meal was finished, someone came to the inn and asked to see Sharon by nameβthe guard asked for his name when he entered the city.
There was a knock on the door of the suite, and David was still waiting for the other party to open the door and come in, but he didn't expect the other party to be very polite, and knocked a few times when he saw that there was no response, until David said please come in, he opened the door and walked in.
"Oh, sorry for disturbing a few of you."
Walking in was a handsome long-haired man, who looked to be in his thirties, dressed in a gorgeous gown and wearing shiny leather boots on his feet.
"I sincerely apologize for my presumptuous visit."
With a wave of his hand, the attendant who followed behind walked up to the man with a box in his hand, then held the box in front of him and opened the lid of the box.
Inside, necklaces, earrings, and rings made entirely of rubies are displayed as jewelry sets.
Sharon sat opposite David, both of them facing the direction of the door, and at this time got up slightly and leaned in front of David, and whispered: "This scene seems to be different from what you planned." β
"Excuse me, ...... you" Of course David noticed this, but what could he do? Isn't the Kingdom of Tiran complained about by people from many countries? Why are they all so polite?
"Before you is Earl Sutton-Stewart of the Kingdom of Tiran." The attendant holding the gift box solemnly introduced the identity of his master to David and the others, and reminded David and the others that they should maintain due respect for the Earl.
David and Sharon had already left the table, got up and walked over to the Earl of Stewart and gave a brief salute.
Neither of them was very standard in their ceremonial actions, let alone respectful, but the Earl of Sutton-Stewart didn't care about this little thing at all.
From the moment he entered the room, Sutton Stewart's eyes stayed on Sharon's body, and the expression on his face was very obvious when he saw his favorite prey. As for Davy and Newton, the old alchemist, beside Sharon, he wasn't even interested in glancing at them.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, beautiful young lady, and welcome to Tiran, and if you can, I cordially invite you to dinner."
"This ......" Sharon didn't know how to deal with it, if the other party broke in very strongly, it would be easier to do things with a posture of snatching her away, just roll up her sleeves and start fighting.
Now the other party came up to apologize first, then give a gift, and then politely invited her to dinner, she can't just go up and give someone a punch, right?
"What should I do?" Whispered to Davy beside her, she thought she might be able to accept the invitation? Anyway, it's just a meal: "This man seems to be very talkative, maybe I can ask him to help me at dinner?" β
"Don't rush to say yes yet, deal with a few words and see the situation." David coughed a few times, trying to pull the attraction of the man whose eyes were locked on Sharon: "This earl." β
"Oh?" Sutton Stewart heard someone shouting to him, even though he was busy looking at Sharon's wonderful new prey, he still took a look out of his eyes and glanced to the side, and after glancing, he immediately turned his attention to David: "This is David, right?" The village chief of Winter Village. β
"Yes."
"I was too rude just now, I hope you don't be surprised." As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly at the attendant behind him, and immediately another attendant walked out, holding a long box in his hand. The lid of the box was opened, revealing the gorgeous long sword inside: "This is a welcome gift for Mr. Village Chief." β
Then, Earl Stewart's eyes seemed to glow, and he looked back and forth at Sharon and David: "I wonder if I can be lucky enough to invite the two of you to dinner with me?" β
