Chapter 12: Bucket of gold
Continuously turned away by three tailor-looking tailor shops, Lucian was very depressed. Even if he took the black yarn in at the beginning, those tailors still refused to believe it and were unwilling to identify what kind of yarn it belonged to. , Full of deep alert to strangers like Lucian.
This market area is very large, there are more than ten streets in the vertical and horizontal direction, people come and go, often see dwarves, elves and other aliens, very prosperous, so Lucian quickly found an elegant and clean at the end of a street Tailor shop.
Behind the counter was a fifteen-year-old blond boy with a smile on his face and a green smile: "Master makes clothes in the back. My name is Banster. What do you need, guests?"
"Can you help me see this black veil?" Lucian learned the lesson and asked for it in a roundabout way.
Benster thought that Lucien was going to pick a similar black veil, took it without doubt, rubbed his fingers, looked at the sun, his expression became more and more surprised: "Guest, this is Holm Kingdom's black nightingale 'The black yarn that only real nobles can afford, where do you get it?'
Like other tailors, he showed alertness and worry. Lucian, wearing a worn linen jacket, would certainly not be able to afford the "black nightingale", even many rich men could not afford it. Since that is the case, it is very old. Suspicious.
Seeing that everyone was responding in the same way, Baluchien simply lowered his voice: "Be assured, it will never cause you any trouble."
"Really?" From the back of the shop came a man in his thirties with a long face. He was the owner of this tailor's shop, Maddall. Before, Banster was surprised because he didn't control his voice, and disturbed him. So when he came out to check, he just heard Lucian's explanation.
Didn't drive me directly? Seeing that there was good interaction at last, Lucian couldn't help raising his expectations and a little excitement: "I swear in the name of the Lord, and, you see, it already has a hole in it. There is no noble lady, The lady will still care about it. As long as you turn it into a lace or streamer for a skirt, no one will ever know what it was. "
Midall took the black veil from Banster, looked carefully, and said quietly after a while, "How much do you want?"
Lucian was excited, clenched his fists, and almost waved, but the experience of the red-eye mouse kept Lucien calm and looked at Mai Dao with a smile: "I believe you will not let me down, sir . "
Midall stared at Lucian's eyes for a few seconds, and saw that he was not anxious, and said gently: "Forty copper fairs, it is only so large, and it has holes, and it is not much to use."
"A silver narr, if a gorgeous long skirt is embellished with a dark and beautiful 'black nightingale' like the night sky, it will be more perfect and more suitable for noble ladies and husbands." Lucian resisted the excitement. , Bargaining on the principle of doubling.
Midall shook his head and returned the black veil to Lucian: "Up to fifty bronze fairs, if not, you take it away."
"That's a pity." Lucian took the black veil calmly on the surface and turned to walk outside the shop. Actually, my heart was full of tension and contradictions. Would you stop me? Will it increase the price? If you miss this store, you may not be able to find someone willing to buy goods of unknown origin!
One step, two steps, three steps ... Lucien saw that he was about to leave the tailor's shop, and Maddall's voice at the back finally sounded: "Eighty bronze fair, if not just a long skirt is suitable for black nightingale As a lace, I would never pay such a high price. "
Good job! Lucian, who had his back to Maddall, threw his right fist fiercely in front of his chest with excitement and excitement, then turned and smiled flatly: "As you wish."
Twenty eight jingling copper coins were packed in Lucian's pockets, making them bulging and very cumbersome, but Lucian thought they were indescribably cute.
Maddall stopped Lucien again before he left: "I don't know you, and I don't want to know your name, but in the future, if you still have this precious fabric and it won't cause you trouble, you can Consider me here. "
"That's my pleasure." Lucian was in a good mood, so he bowed slightly.
From the tailor's shop in Mador, Lucian found that the sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the air is so fresh, everything is so beautiful.
Eighty copper fairs said more or less. In addition to making Lucien close to five silver narres, he also proved that Lucien's method of collecting broken and profitable money works. Say, this is the most important!
Uh ...
"Brother Lucian, you're finally back. My brother is home. My mother asked me to invite you to dinner."
Not far from his house, Baluchien saw Alvin standing at his doorstep, and Alvin found Lucien almost at the same time, and waved with joy.
"John the eldest son of Eliza's family? The young man who has become a knight's attendant to the knight?" Lucian recalled something about his brother, and then smiled at him: "Wait, I'll wipe it Sweat. "The 92 copper fairs on his body can't let Aiwen see. God knows if he will speak out with a big mouth. After he has collected enough tuition for five silver coins, there will be no problems. Lucian believed he would never do this forever.
Ivan replied with a smile: "Okay, Brother Lucian. By the way, my brother brought back a piece of bison, which was trained by the knights and hunted in the wild some time ago. Sir Wayne gave it to everyone fairly. . "
"Finally, I can eat potato and beef stew. Since my brother was taken away by Sir Wayne and trained at the manor, I have eaten less than twenty times in the past two years!"
His dirty face is irresistible yearning and mouth sulking.
Joel is a good kind among street performers. Although the income is good and bad, it is much better than those who work hard and work hard. In addition, Alisa has been helping the textile guild to do the chores, so they The income of the family is actually close to the level of civilians. However, for the sake of John's exercise before, he rarely ate food. This has been a very difficult time, even occasionally asking the old Evans to help.
I waited for John to be picked by Sir Wayne successfully. After two people don't have to worry about it, Alisa began to plan for Avon's future life, but she ate much worse than before.
Regarding this, Lucian, who does not know much about the world, is not surprised, but instead thinks that the poor can eat beef once a month, which is very good.
She concealed Copper Fair, wiped her sweat, and Lucian followed Aiwen to the house of Eliza.
婶 Outside Elisa's house, there are a group of neighbours who are very familiar with Lucian, and they are discussing hotly:
听说 "I heard that Little John has become Sir Knight's official knight attendant?"
"Alyssa said, she won't lie!"
"Official knight attendant less than 19 years old, Little John may really inspire blood power, gain divine grace, and become a true knight."
"Oh, you can't be called Little John at that time, you have to be called Lord John, Lord John."
"You can't bark now, a formal knight attendant, but you are eligible to become a city guard officer!"
"Joel and Alisa are so lucky, they have a good life in the future!"
Baluchien looked at Aiwen in doubt, and Aiwen nodded heavily, looking glorious.
Entering the room, Lucien saw a young man with blond hair and brown eyes rise from the chair, inheriting Joel's appearance as a young man, tall and handsome, but the most direct impression on Lucien was His calm and restrained temperament.
"I heard that something went wrong with me, but I don't think it's a big deal, eh, so I can rest assured." John patted Lucian on the shoulder with a smile. "Don't worry too much, this kind of thing is The accident is the Lord's test on you. "
In a gray knight suit, he looked very slender, but to Lucian, he was completely a mature brother, although he was only one or two years older.
Balussian smiled and replied, "There wasn't any serious illness. Alissa was too worried, so she was a little nervous."
Aside, Ai Wen echoed the authentic way: "That is, that is, my mother doesn't believe me at all."
John smiled and patted Avin's head: "Go wash your face and get ready for dinner."
As soon as Ivan left, John smiled mildly and motioned Lucien to sit down: "Why, I haven't seen you for a long time and became rusty? Lucien, we are good friends who grew up together."
"It's a bit uncomfortable, well, I didn't expect you to change so much." Lucian casually looked for reasons.
John John nodded solemnly: "Cavalry training is not only physical training, but also behavioral and spiritual training. It is very hard and very rewarding."
I chatted casually about John's training in the Vennian Knights Manor, and Alisa called Lucian for dinner.
There was only potato stew and grilled fish on the dinner table, but Lucien, who had eaten a dark bread for a day, felt very delicious. He almost ate his tongue. Joel got an exception for John because he was a formal knight attendant. Allowed, eating beef with satisfaction, drinking ale.
Throughout the dinner, Alissa chattered happily and kept talking. Joel, Lucian, and Irwin, who had good food or wine, only occasionally responded to her, which made her very satisfied, and John Follow the rules of the knight and speak silently while eating.
"嗝 " In Ai Wen's long feast, dinner was over.
John shook his head with a smile: "Ivan, too much food is bad for the body. Don't do it in the future."
Then he turned to look at Lucien: "Lucien, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"
Regarding this issue, both Joel and Alisa looked at Lucian solemnly.
Balussian replied cautiously: "There is no set goal yet, but I don't want to be like this anymore."
"Very good. Dissatisfaction with life is the power to move forward." John nodded with satisfaction. "The bakery and brewery in Sir Wayne Manor recently lacked manpower and wanted to recruit a few apprentices. Living in the manor, Lucian, think about it, and I'll be back on Monday and tell me the answer. "
After becoming a formal knight's attendant, John had the ability to change the lives of his family and friends. Although meager, it was important.
And this world also spreads the myth of seven days' creation, so worshipping every seven days is a week.
"Okay, John." Lucian just made his first bucket of gold and has a long-term and beautiful plan for the future. He didn't even think about selling for ten years in the past, but it was too strange to refuse directly. Life status So I plan to refuse it after a few days until next week.
John stood up: "Well, now that Lucien is okay, I have to return to Sir Wayne's manor before the gates are closed." Then he hugged Joel, Alissa, and Irvine in turn. Lucian was given a big hug at the end. "Unfortunately, Lucian you are illiterate, or else Downey's butler just needs a clerk to help him handle the affairs of the village court. This is a well-paid and decent job."
"I'm trying to learn text." Lucian said at the opportunity.
John froze, then laughed: "Our Lucian is very ambitious, eh, I will help you think of a way to see if you can find an opportunity, but you may not have much hope, or it will take a short time You have to be prepared. "
"Thank you, John." Lucian did not pin his hope on John, and he was sure of the path in his own hands.
Uh ...
For three days in a row, although no such valuable thing as "Black Nightingale" was found, Lucien's deposit had already been full of one silver narrity and 64 bronze fairs, so he walked out of the city gate vigorously. .
Andre looked at Lucien's back, and said strangely to Mag, "Why does this boy go outside the city every morning?"
"Andre, what are you talking about?" There was a kind voice behind Andre.
Andre looked serious, and quickly turned back: "Good morning, Brother Jackson."
Leodos Jackson, the leader of the Aaron gangster, has a very ordinary face, looks friendly and humble, but if anyone is deceived by his appearance, the end will be very miserable, whether insidious or cunning Keen and cruel, he is one of the best in Aaron's gangster.
