Chapter 10: Musicians Association
Recalling countless plans to travel through the novel and make a fortune, Lucian sadly finds that she knows too little about the world and doesn't know if these methods are useful, and no matter what, the first bucket of gold is particularly important Yes, and he only has seven bronze fairs.
So when the nine o'clock sun shines on the market area, Lucian has been carrying a heavy bag of goods and marching toward the Shing Mun area. After all, survival is often ranked first.
Sweat couldn't stop falling from his face, got into his neck, soaked the linen clothes, not the strong sun shone on Lucien, making his footsteps more painful, meanwhile, Lucien had to endure the fat man next to him. Gucci chatter:
"Damn, whoever finds such a child to come over, you take a step, don't break my goods!"
Looking at Gucci, who wiped the sweat that flowed up and down with a handkerchief, Lucian's belly slandered, "It's all you sulking, please only one person."
Of course, Lucian's remuneration mentioned four from three bronze fairs.
After arriving at Chengmen District, Lucian put the goods safely on the carriages waiting here.
Fat Gucci reluctantly took out the money bag, took out four copper fairs, and handed it to Lucian: "Your reward, lad, I didn't expect your strength was really great. In the future, if there is any need to move the goods, I will go directly to you . "
In fact, the strength of Baluchien is not as good as that of young people of the same age who have been trained. It is cheaper. One can be used as two, and Gucci naturally praises this, completely forgetting how he cursed before.
As soon as she got Tongfeier, Lucian saw two men in linen coats, who looked very fierce, coming by.
"We are the boss of Aaron, you can call me Andre." The talking brown-haired man indicated his identity, with a shallow scar on his face.
Balusian knew what they were doing, and he was prepared for it, and he did not intend to act independently. He took out a copper Fair and gave it to the man named Andre.
Another burly man stared at Lucian: "Two bronze fairs!"
"Isn't it good to only give one?" Lucian is now poor, and even knowing that he is currently unable to fight the gangsters, he can't help but argue.
"If it weren't for your own inability, Gucci would have hired two people, and each of us would give us a bronze fair, and this loss, of course, cannot be borne by us." Andre laughed like a legitimate businessman.
It's just a bronze Fair, which hasn't touched on Lucian's survival and bottom line. Therefore, Lucian was hesitated by a gang and a Copper Fair in the future. After only one second of hesitation, he put up and took it Out of a bronze fair, he handed it to the man walking around Andre, as if showing his strong body.
"Good job, boy, you understand the truth. There were always young men who liked to challenge us, but you also saw that we are still here, and some of them have sunk to the bottom of the Belem River. Well, Mag, there's someone over there. "Andrea threatened a few words as usual, and with Mag, turned and walked to the other side.
Looking at the back of the two of them, Baluchien was a little bit embarrassed. Although she knew from the beginning that she would be exploited by the gangster, when she really met, she couldn't help but change her mood.
After abusing himself with insufficient blood, Lucian realized that to get rid of this situation, he must have a strong personal strength or a certain social status.
Of course, in this world, strong personal strength often means high social status.
"I don't know if there is a potion for increasing strength and constitution in the magic note?" Lucian couldn't help thinking about it, even if he knew it was a sign of danger, a sign of unbearable temptation.
Uh ...
The musicians' association near the chant hall in the administrative district is famous for its unique architectural style in Aalto, so he pushed the rented four-wheeled cart, Lucien, and only asked the way once, and found the name "beating flames" "building.
A large number of vertical lines, small minarets, flying buttresses, stained glass, and window frames shaped like flames make the entire five-storey light-colored building have an asymmetric, exaggerated beauty, which is light and complex.
Seeing Lucian coming, a wretched, small, middle-aged man with a goatee, walked quickly down the steps: "How come so late? Look at the clock of the golden cathedral, it's already faster!"
After taking over the entrusted task, Baluchian had met the middle-aged man once under the arrangement of Dwarf Cohen, knowing that his name was George, and he had some relations within the musicians association.
"George, ten minutes left." Lucian pointed to the towering, majestic, thick, golden cathedral that seemed to be able to control the city in the distance. The top.
George complained: "The maids invited by the Association have finished the cleaning in advance. You should come in and take over with me. Otherwise, the mountain-like **** piles behind the Association will affect the mood of the musicians who come to work, and it will be troublesome."
Balusian was curious about Uncle Joel's dream of being a musician, so without arguing with George, setting the cart aside and letting the guards watch, he climbed the steps and walked towards the door.
As soon as she opened the door inlaid with stained glass fragments, Lucien saw a bright, stately, and large hall.
The floor was covered with thick, soft carpets, and there was no sound of footsteps walking on it, plus very few people coming and going, the whole hall seemed quiet and cold.
乔治 Under George's leadership, Lucian walked to a wooden table half a man tall in the middle of the hall.
Behind Tochigi, there was a beautiful brown-haired girl with a sweet smile and a clear voice: "Uncle George, is the person you are looking for?"
As she said, she took out a jingling money bag and handed it to George. According to Lucien's visual inspection, there were at least forty copper fairs, and she could not help but curse, except for the money for renting a cart, she could earn To eight bronze fairs.
George took the purse, showing two rows of yellow teeth, and his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile: "Elena, find someone to take Lucian to the back garden. Don't look at him being young and not strong, But the strength is great. "
After saying that, he said to Lucien again, "I will put your money with Andre in Chengmen District, and you can pick it up when you return."
Lucian nodded, not worried that George would lay down the money. Although Aaron's gangsters collected the money hard, it was very credible in this regard. According to Cohen, some people tried to lay off the employment costs. As a result, In the end, I paid twice as much.
Elena was about to greet the servants in the hall to take Lucian to the back garden to carry garbage. Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a large red coat came in, stood up and bowed slightly: "Good afternoon, Mr. Victor. "
This middle-aged man is simple and sophisticated, with a faint shawl and black curly hair, blue eyes like sea water with a melancholic color: "Good afternoon, Elena, give me a" Music Review ". "The sound is mellow and deep.
Seeing Elena pulling out a brand new newspaper from the cabinet under the wooden table, Lucian couldn't help but be surprised: "Alto has developed a newspaper? And it's still a special type."
Looking at the situation in the slums, Lucian sighed: "This world's polarization seems very serious. However, there should not be many people who know the words. How much does the newspaper sell to get the cost back?"
Victor first took the Music Review in his hands, flipped it at will, and gave Elena ten bronze fairs, nodded politely to Lucian and George, and turned to the stairs next to the hall with the newspaper Go on.
"This Mr. Victor is very nice." Lucian quietly commented in his heart.
After waiting for Victor to go upstairs, Lucian asked Elena curiously, "This Music Review has only ten bronze fairs?"
Knowing that people like Lucien had no chance to contact high society just as they had before, Elena couldn't help showing off her experience of working in the Musicians' Association in the past year: "Although Adelaide 426 After the Cardinals invented a simpler and more versatile papermaking method, the price of paper is getting cheaper. Now a few copper fairs can buy a stack, but only members of our musicians association can get ten coppers. Fair bought the Music Review, and everyone else, even a nobleman, needed a silver narr. "
"Because the" Music Review "and the" Symphony Orientation "are the two most authoritative newspapers in the field of music throughout the continent, representing the direction of music development. Each of the above scores and commentary articles are the result of wisdom. This month The "Musical Review" even includes the comments of Her Majesty the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Princess Natasha on the music performed by the Symphony Hall last week. "
I had to admit that Elena was so voluminous In addition to showing off, Lucian's black hair, black eyes, and pretty appearance also played a big role.
"A silver narr?" Lucian suddenly wanted to rob these newspapers. As long as he had five copies, his problems could be easily solved, but considering that he could not find a buyer, Lucien would be depressed. With that in mind.
Elena's show was supported by Lucian, and she was even happier: "Oh, don't be disappointed by a silver narco, in Tria, in Antivre, in Israel, in Tiris, in Anhadur. These two newspapers are a sought-after good, the most expensive can be sold for a quintal. Nobles in these countries are proud of chasing Alto's music trend, even if they have read a long time outdated newspaper. "
Lucian glanced again at the remaining newspapers in Elena's cabinet, resisting the urge to rob, and at the same time inferred some information: "The currency of the entire continent should be unified, well, the church with theology must be Very strong. There is probably no such thing as a space teleport array. Even if it does, the conditions of use must be very harsh. Otherwise, if so many nobles need it, how can they only see outdated newspapers. "
Kushiro Sponge absorbs her most lacking insights from Elena's words as she absorbs water. Until ten minutes later, Elena wakes up and greets the servant in the hall to take Lucian to the back garden.
"Lucien, be quiet, don't talk loudly, don't make loud noises when you move garbage, and Mr. Victor will hold the symphony for the first time in the Sanctuary Hall after more than three months. Spirit, um, spirit is more sensitive. "Elena kindly reminded Lucian.
Balussian nodded gratefully, then carefully followed the servant to the back garden.
