"Thank you, wise Lord, for allowing us to meet again in this beautiful town, my benefactor,

Shakespeare has his best regards. ”

Shakespeare, who came down from the bar at some point, was already sitting opposite Nock,

was excitedly greeting Nock.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Richelieu and Roger Fit, who were looking for fun,

The two glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and continued to indulge in beauty.

But if you look closely, you will find that the eyes of the two will inadvertently sweep over Nock's table.

Finet returned to the tavern at some point, and sat in the corner of the bar with a barmaid in his arms.

From time to time, his eyes fell on Shakespeare opposite Nock.

"Oh, it turned out to be the famous bard Mr. Shakespeare, long time no see, how did you end up here?

Isn't there a poetry contest you should participate in in Pali? ”

Instead of pretending not to know Shakespeare, Nock enthusiastically pointed out where he should have been.

When Shakespeare heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment and sneered, "This ...... Isn't that an accident?

I followed the caravan and walked this way in a daze.

When I got out of the border, I realized that I had gone the wrong way.

I thought it was too late to turn back, and without customs clearance, I would have to wander around Genoa.

Holy Lord's blessing, I actually met a benefactor in a foreign land.

Oh, what a cause for celebration!

I think I should have a drink at this moment!

Waiter, bring me a glass of barley wine! ”

Shakespeare excitedly shouted at the bartender.

Nock watched Shakespeare's performance with a smile and didn't want to stop him at all.

Soon, a swaying and graceful barmaid walked up to Shakespeare with a large wooden cup.

"Sir, please pay the bill."

The escort lady is a waiter by the way, and it seems that the boss of the "black goblin" knows how to make the best use of things.

There's no waste of resources.

Shakespeare looked at the bartender embarrassedly and said, "Elsa, don't be like this, I still have friends here!" ”

The escort girl named Aisha didn't care and said: "That's not good, the boss said, for you, you must be settled,

lest thou shalt be repaid. Your performance today is not very good, and the money you earn is not enough to pay off the bills.

If you want to drink, you have to settle it. ”

"Ahem, ahem." Shakespeare looked at Nock in embarrassment, and found that Nock was just looking at him with a smile,

There was no intention of speaking.

"Can't you keep it on the books? I'll be together next time. ”

Hearing this, Aisha directly put the wine glass back up: "That's not good, I'm not the little prodigal hoof of Mebis,

After being deceived by your rhetoric, pay the bill for you. This girl earns hard-earned money.

You have the ability to trick a passing lady, and maybe you can pay off your debt in one night!

After all, you're not bad-looking. ”

Aisha said, not forgetting to pick Shakespeare's chin with her fingers with a smile, and then took the wine,

I'm going to leave.

Nock can see that Shakespeare, this guy owes the "black goblin",

has already relied on deceiving the little girl to make a living.

Nock immediately spoke: "Okay, put the wine down, this glass is mine." The old people are reunited,

It's really worth a drink. ”

Before Nock's words fell, the glass in Elsha's hand had been stuffed into Shakespeare's hand.

"Sir, your wine, I wish you a pleasant meal. Need something else?

Elsa of the 'Black Elf' is here for you. ”

As she spoke, Aisha raised an eyebrow at Nock.

Nock smiled and waved his hand, "No, I just want to have a treat, I don't want to be wronged."

Unless, you make Mr. Shakespeare pay for it, then I don't mind talking to beautiful Elsa about my life ideals tonight. ”

Seeing that Nock had seen through the two of them, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Elsa's face, leaving an embarrassed smile,

Ran away like a fledgle.

On the contrary, it was Shakespeare, who was punctured, and drank it leisurely with a wine glass.

Nock looked at him and said, "Why, our poet, don't you want to explain something?" ”

Shakespeare took a sip of barley wine, then put down his glass and said with a smile: "It's just a mouthful of food."

But it's true that I owe money, I really don't have any money. It's just that I'm very familiar with the escort girls here.

Therefore, occasionally I will help them who have no business to create a little opportunity. If successful,

I can also get a little referral fee afterwards. ”

Shakespeare gestured with his index finger and thumb in front of his eyes,

Prove that you are really just for a little bit of petty profit, and there is no malice.

Nock shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that you are in a difficult situation."

How much do you really owe your boss? ”

Shakespeare touched his nose in embarrassment and held up a finger.

"A gold coin?" Nock wondered.

Shakespeare touched the bridge of his nose and kept a polite smile on his face.

"Ten gold coins?" Nock asked again.

Shakespeare was still smiling.

"Damn, you don't owe a hundred gold coins, do you? Did you smash this tavern? ”

Nock was surprised.

You know, at the consumption level of the town, if there is no additional consumption, a gold coin,

How can the merchants of the past live in the town for half a month.

For a hundred gold coins, you can buy this tavern.

Well, just a tavern, not counting the staff, a hundred gold coins is more than enough.

Shakespeare rubbed the bridge of his nose in embarrassment and explained, "When I first came,

Drunk, happy, chartered. ”

When Nock heard this, his brain went black, and he said, "This tavern, even if it is chartered, it won't cost a hundred gold coins, right?" ”

Shakespeare said, "I'm in for a treat." ”

"Did you take the town's liquor and take a bath? Otherwise, how could I drink a hundred gold coins! ”

Shakespeare was embarrassed when he lifted it, and he took a few big sips before telling the truth.

"I ...... I asked the audience to order two girls each, but there weren't enough girls in the black goblin,

So I got foreign help from the tavern on the street......"

"Shet! You're so generous! ”

Hearing this answer, Nock couldn't help but give Shakespeare a middle finger.

According to the number of people in the tavern now, there are two girls per person, so there are at least a hundred girls.

Not to mention that this girl is not enough, and I also found girls from other shops on the street,

Even if there are enough people, the owner of the store will die to stuff people.

After all, it is not every day that there is a big wrong.

A girl spends an extra penny ranging from ten to fifty denarii.

A hundred gold coins a night, there must be two or three hundred girls!

He's taking care of the barmaids and dancers on the whole street!

After Nock's shock, his eyes became wary when he looked at Shakespeare.

"I said, Mr. Poet, you are looking for me, do you want to borrow money?

Let me start by saying that I don't have that much money.

As you can see, I'm on a journey, and I don't have enough money to spend. ”

Shakespeare was embarrassed by Nock's thoughts.

He looked left and right, and suddenly leaned over to Nock, and whispered:

"Actually, I'm not trying to borrow money. My debt is clearly the result of the boss on the street who co-clattered me.

I won't pay it back. I just wondered if you could take me with you quietly when you left.

I was alone, stared at by the boss of the whole street, and I couldn't leave the town.

But if you sneak me away, they won't have time to stop me.

As long as I leave this town, they can't do anything about me. ”

After Shakespeare finished speaking, he sat up again, and grabbed the bread and jam that Nock had ordered.

Ate it.

Nock listened to Shakespeare, but his attitude became much colder.

"Mr. Shakespeare, it is only natural to pay off debts. I'm not going to help you get out of debt.

It's a crime, it's illegal, and I won't do it.

If you're here to catch up with me, I'd love to have a drink.

But if you come to me to help you escape, then I'm sorry, I can't help it.

If you run away and get caught, please don't implicate me.

Otherwise, you're welcome. You should remember that I don't owe you anything.

On the contrary, you owe me my life.

That's it, this table is what I invited you, you can enjoy it slowly. ”

With that, Nock got up and went to the bar to pay the bill.

Nock's reaction did not seem to surprise Shakespeare.

Instead of stopping Nock from leaving, he concentrated on the food on the table in front of him.

Nock's departure, Richelieu and the three of them are enough to arrive,

but did not leave.

Instead, he glanced at Shakespeare in unison, and then began to bow his head and talk to the escort girl beside him.

It's just that the content of the three of them talking to the wine girl is strikingly similar.

They are all asking who Shakespeare is.

Then, I learned about Shakespeare's amazing "achievements" from the barmaid.

Leaving the tavern, Nock went out of the door, found Rod's location directly, got into the carriage and told Lot to go to the hotel.

As for the three Richelieu, Nock didn't bother with them. They know where to find Nock and Rod.

Because they all have a tacit understanding, if they are separated, they will go to the best local hotel to stay.

Especially when playing separately, it's best to pretend that you don't know each other.

After all, the identities of Nock and Richelieu are noble and noble in the eyes of the people.

Let people know that they linger in the bright lights, and the impact is not good.

After asking passers-by where the best hotel in the town was,

The two of them searched all the way to a hotel called "Paradise on Earth".

When the two of them arranged the carriage and were about to go to the lobby to check in,

I finally understood why the hotel was called that.

A flock of warblers sit on empty chairs around the lobby, dressed like flowers blooming in spring.

They don't scratch their heads like the women of Tavern Street.

But they smiled implicitly at every man who swept their gaze at them.

Don't take the initiative, but let you know that they are waiting for your invitation.

Even, at the time of check-in, the waiter also asked the two of them if they needed a private room service.

After learning that the private room service is to choose a beautiful lady in the hall to accompany the stay,

During your stay, all services will be included in the room rate.

Nock and Rod were intrigued.

The barmaids in the tavern were nothing compared to this group of elegant flowers.

Thinking in my heart that Richelieu and others came to check in with a woman, and then saw this high-quality flower,

Will they regret the embarrassment of dying, the two of them were proud in their hearts.

So, both Nock and Rod tacitly ordered the private room service.

Then I chose the lady I liked, and under the guidance of the lady, I checked in.
