Chapter Twenty-Four: Jamila
And just when Ye Tianlong finished the phone call and began to clean up the messy house, Wang Deshou next door also heard the movement and came to visit the door.
The old man looked at the gate that had been beaten and twisted and deformed, and there was a clear palm print on it, and asked Ye Tianlong, "Stinky boy, this door has been beaten like this, are you okay?" ”
"Uncle Wang, I'm fine, I'm just a little injured!"
When Ye Tianlong saw that the other party was coming, he was also ready to return the other party's tricycle, after all, he had now bought a pack horse and a carriage, and it was better to return the tricycle as soon as possible.
And just as the two were chatting, the person who had come to help install the security door also arrived.
After Ye Tianlong helped the other party remove the scrapped old iron door, the two worked together to quickly install the new security door.
With this new security door, Ye Tianlong's future security will be greatly guaranteed, this thing uses the latest face recognition system, except for Ye Tianlong, the owner, no one else can open it at all, and if you want to forcibly break it, the general means are completely ineffective, unless you bring in an artillery to bombard it.
Of course, these are all introduced by the clerk who came to install the security door, and how much of it is true Ye Tianlong is not clear, but I feel that this door is indeed quite thick, and it will not be slapped open by someone casually in the future.
After Ye Tianlong cleaned the room for a while, he locked the door and entered the world of riding and slashing games.
The pace of life here is obviously much slower than that of the real world, in the real world at eight o'clock in the morning, most people have already gotten up to start a busy day, and in the riding and chopping world, many people have even just woken up, when Ye Tianlong came over, he happened to see the horse dealer John was there sleepy-eyed picking up horse manure.
As for the old Jack's equipment shop not far away, it hasn't opened yet!
Potts, the lord's butler, got up early in the morning, and at this time continued to collect taxes from house to house with a group of soldiers.
Ye Tianlong noticed that the few glass beads he gave to the other party yesterday had already been inlaid on a walking stick by the other party, and it seemed that this guy really liked these glass beads very much.
However, it is also normal, after all, in this world where productivity is extremely backward and ordinary people even have a good meal is a luxury, whether it is a natural gemstone or a 'man-made gem' such as glass beads, it is an extremely rare good thing, especially since it is also polished to be extremely round. You must know that most gemstones are very hard, so it is very difficult to polish, and it is really rare to find a gemstone as round as these glass beads.
Ye Tianlong saw the butler of Potts appear, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to him, and then asked when he could meet the Baron Sol.
Potts just replied casually that he was already trying to help Ye Tianlong arrange a meeting opportunity, and then sent him away.
Ye Tianlong looked at the other party's distracted look, and thought to himself that this is really the king of Hades, and the little ghost is difficult! This old guy has accepted so many benefits from him, and he looks like he doesn't like to answer, and he usually accepts bribes by relying on his status as a cronie of the baron. I just hope that the other party can really arrange for him to meet with that Baron Sol in a few days! If the other party wants to just take benefits and do nothing, then he will let the other party understand that some people's benefits cannot be taken in vain.
After seeing off the Potts steward, Ye Tianlong returned to John, a horse dealer, and took out his two traveling horses from the other party's stables and hurried towards the training ground.
In the training ground, the cavalry instructor Green was still sitting on a big rock in a daze bored, and when he saw Ye Tianlong coming, he finally cheered up a little.
Under the guidance of the other party, Ye Tianlong started his riding training again, and chatted with the other party in order to better understand the situation in this world.
From the other party's mouth, Ye Tianlong learned that this world is different from the original riding and slashing game, it is not that the player casually adds some coaching skills to himself, and then camps and rests for a few days, and the experience points of his soldiers can rise suddenly, and they will soon be able to be trained as high-level soldiers.
In this world, which has evolved into a more realistic world after the evolution of the god of the game, if a soldier wants to gain experience points or even improve various combat skills, he must have those experienced veterans as instructors in such a special training ground.
The higher the level of the training ground where the soldiers stayed, the more complete the training facilities, and the higher the level and combat skills of the veterans who gave instruction, the higher the benefits the soldiers would get after a day of training.
And this training ground in the town of Odasan is just the most basic low-level training ground, and the training efficiency is far worse than the middle and high-level training grounds in those more prosperous big cities.
But who told that Baron Sol that he had no money! Therefore, not only does this training ground have no money to continue to transform and upgrade, but even the soldiers under its command are also very poorly equipped because of the lack of money, which seriously affects its combat effectiveness.
In order to change this situation, the baron has also made a lot of efforts, and the recent crazy tax collection in the town by the Potts butler is one of the decisions he has made, but Ye Tianlong is not optimistic about this kind of fishing-like approach.
Under this kind of crazy looting, in the end, it may be possible to let the baron get a lot of money, but many people will also be forced to go bankrupt, and then they will either become homeless or starve to death, and when the Baron Saul wants to continue to loot in the future, he will find that there are few people in the town who can let him collect taxes, and this is a vicious circle, under the high tax policy of the other party, the small town of Odasan, which is not very rich in property, will only become poorer and poorer, Eventually, even the few wealthy families and merchants would move out of the town because they couldn't afford the high taxes.
Under Green's professional guidance, Ye Tianlong practiced all morning, and felt that his riding skills had improved a lot, and he felt that after another day of practice, his riding skills should be able to be promoted to the second level, and he was now under the guidance of Green, and he had initially mastered the skills of riding a gun sprint and chopping on a horse.
Without the guidance of a professional coach like Green, it is really difficult to master the tricks of these skills by yourself, and you may even fall off the war horse and be injured during the practice.
And Ye Tianlong, even with the coach Green on the side, continued to guide, after a morning of practice, the inner thighs felt a little worn out, and the noon sun was becoming more and more poisonous, making people's heads dizzy, Ye Tianlong decided to rest first.
During this break, he can also set up a stall and sell the goods he has prepared.
After walking around the commercial area of the town, Ye Tianlong finally chose a vacant lot near Old Jack's equipment shop to set up a stall, where there happened to be a big tree, and it was much cooler to set up a stall in the shade than other places.
Ye Tianlong's stall has just been set up, and he hasn't had time to wait for the first guest yet! Yesterday the group of children gathered around him again, looking at him one by one, obviously wanting to continue to ask for candy from him.
Looking at this group of children, Ye Tianlong smiled evilly and took out a bunch of spicy strips from a package, obviously thinking of tricking this group of little guys.
"Come on! Today I invite you to eat something different, this is called spicy strips, and the taste is strong! Ye Tianlong said as he handed out the medium-spicy spicy spicy strips to these children, as for the most terrifying extra-spicy spicy strips, he felt that this thing was not eaten by people at all, so he didn't buy it at all.
Those children didn't know that Ye Tianlong was playing tricks on them, and after receiving the spicy strips, they immediately couldn't wait to stuff them into their mouths one by one and eat them.
Soon, all of these children were so spicy that their faces were flushed, and one of them was so spicy that they couldn't care about getting dirty, and wanted to go to the stinky ditch not far away to drink water to relieve the painful spicy taste in their mouths.
Seeing this, Ye Tianlong hurriedly stopped the child, then took out a large stack of disposable paper cups, let the children take one by one, and finally took out a bottle of chilled salt soda and poured a cup for each of the children.
This thing was originally prepared by Ye Tianlong for himself, after all, it is also very physically exhausting for him to train in the training ground, this ice soda can not only quench his thirst, but also replenish salt, so that he can always maintain sufficient physical strength for training, it is an absolutely good thing, so Ye Tianlong has prepared a lot.
And these children looked at the still cold salt soda in the cup, and didn't drink it for a while, until Ye Tianlong drank a cup in front of them, and these children finally drank it one by one.
At this time, Ye Tianlong also saw the very polite little girl yesterday, so he poured a glass of ice soda for the other party and motioned for the other party to come over and drink.
After seeing Ye Tianlong's eyes, the little girl suddenly ran over excitedly, first said 'thank you, brother' before picking up a cup of ice soda prepared by Ye Tianlong for him and drank it, the first time she drank this cold soda, the little guy's happy eyes narrowed.
Ye Tianlong really liked this well-behaved little girl, and asked with a smile: "Little guy, what's your name?" You're so polite, your parents can't be some kind of aristocrat, right? ”
It's no wonder that Ye Tianlong is so suspicious, after all, it is very difficult for most civilians in this world to live, and they are tired of running for a living every day, and they don't have time to educate their children at all, so most of the children of civilian families are the same as Ye Tianlong met before, they don't know any politeness at all, and they are all like little flowers, and when they see where there is a cheap place to take advantage of, they will immediately surround them and ask for benefits. Unlike the little girl in front of her, she was a little embarrassed even if she wanted to come up and ask for something to eat, and she would thank Ye Tianlong every time, and she was very polite.
"My name is Jamila, and my parents are not nobles, but ordinary small businessmen!" The little girl replied to Ye Tianlong while taking a sip of the ice soda in the cup.
