Chapter 17: Sour
John smiled: "There are two rules in the Knights' Code: Guarding the Homeland and Guarding the Weak Young. I don't think I have violated it. Sir Wayne must understand. In comparison, the words of your gangster don't seem to be trusted."
"You have no evidence!" Jackson seemed fiercely authentic.
A lot of people know that letting all witnesses be unwilling or afraid to testify is a masterpiece of gangsters, and the church generally does not intervene in such things. Besides, the big man behind Aaron's gangster is not influential in the church.
Lucian laughed, recalling the various lines of bullies and nobles and knights he had heard and seen before, and said with a high attitude: "Evidence? He is a knight's attendant, and you are a gang leader. This is evidence. ! "
From the Bronze Crown Tavern, Lucian knew that in the Duchy of Waurit, the knights were real nobles. Although their official attendants were not high, they were definitely not low. Therefore, they believed that Jackson, a gangster, was ineligible. To frame a knight's servant, after all, there was no other great benefit to himself and John that made Aaron's gangster heartily.
Instead, John was always influenced by chivalry and rules, and Elisa also thought so, so it was inevitable that he would be fooled by Jackson.
Jackson was blocked by Lucian's words, silenced, and framed a knight's attendant. For Aaron Gangster, it can be done, but there will be a lot of relationships and resources that need to be used. His own small boss shot, especially recently, the atmosphere of Aalto seems a bit weird. There is a lot of undercurrents flowing in peace. Even Aaron ’s boss has been secretly moving all day. I do n’t know what he is planning, so he just It was really just scaring John.
I further said that this incident is not a **** feud. There is no need to bet on his future and life.
After he became the boss, Jackson naturally lost his strength to himself.
Then Jackson said hardly: "How much compensation do you need? I only have two silver narres on me."
Seeing that she had succeeded in scaring Jackson, Lucian turned to look at John and let him decide. At the same time, he looked at the end of the distant street and whispered: "It seems that the sheriff brought someone over. Let's leave quickly, lest It's a big deal. "
As for the Aaron Gangsters, there is no shortage of dealings with the sheriff, and it is not difficult to think of reasons to escape.
Although Lucien was a bit worried about the gangster's secret revenge in the future, and occasionally thought about the possibility of overwhelming or severing the future, at this time, no matter how strong he was or John, it was not enough to complete, and killing on the street would really hurt John. Expelled.
John adhered to the rules of the Cavaliers, and did not think of extorting Jackson, and nodded: "Okay, just pay two silver narres."
Lucien was just robbed of more than forty copper fairs and some untreated garbage. The rest of the money was carefully hidden in a corner of the witch's ruins. Because of the fear of the witch and the curse, the villains did not Dare to approach, so I didn't find it. In addition to the broken furniture, there was at most one silver nal, and two silver narres were compensated, which was doubled.
Jackson laboriously took out the money bag and threw it to John. It was empty and there were only two silver narres: "Bronze Fair just rewarded them."
John poured out two beautiful silver glittering coins, handed them to Lucien, and threw the money bag at Jackson's hand: "Should you search for those villains and bring back the copper robbed you?"
I took Yinal, and Lucian's chin flared toward the sheriff and his subordinates who were getting closer and closer: "It's too late, let's go."
Although she was caught face-to-face by the sheriff, he may not be punished in any way, but be careful, Lucian would not dare to gamble on John's future, so he gave up those lovely copper fairs with little heartache.
"OK!" John picked up the stick without leaving any physical evidence, and Lucian picked up the dagger that Jackson had dropped.
Then Lucian and John ran wild, ran towards the other street, then ran into the alley, and soon disappeared in the market area.
Uh ...
"Hoo, don't run away, almost, take a break." Lucien saw that she had ran back to a remote corner of the slum area, finally relieved, leaning against the wall, panting with a big mouthful, she found her leg. It was very soft, and after all, I really ran a lot this morning, so I simply sat on the ground and said with a smile, "Oh, no energy, exhale."
John also panted, seeing that the two wounds on Lucian were not deep, and the bleeding had stopped, so he sat down and leaned against Lucian: "I don't have much strength, just a short time surrounded by them It's tens of seconds, but it's more tiring than running for a long time, but it's been a long time since I had a fight so quickly. It's really comfortable! "
The two of them just sat on the floor leaning against each other, panting and recovering their strength.
"Yeah, it's really comfortable." Lucian squinted his eyes and looked up at the blue clear sky. The frame just now, to myself, really felt like a heartfelt, like depressing, The pain, confusion, and wandering were all vented, and the mind was unprecedentedly clarified, and he really recognized John's good friend, so he couldn't help laughing, "Ha ha ha ha."
The laughter was wanton and cheerful.
John was strange: "Lucien, what are you laughing at?"
"I think in the future, when I learn to write and make money, I will travel around the mainland to see different scenery, different cuisines, different countries and various wonderful legends."
Balusian did not answer, but looked at the sky and slowly spoke, but in his heart, he continued silently:
"I want to learn magic, I have to travel all over the continent, to explore the knowledge and laws of this world, to penetrate the truth of this world, to find the way home."
"Whether it succeeds or not, this is my direction, for parents and friends like John."
"There are already more than three silver narres. Even the usury loan must be gathered as soon as possible in order to start learning magic in the shortest possible time. Aaron's gangsters dare not retaliate, but they are secretly good at it."
If it was said that under the beating of Aaron Gangster, Lucien decided to study magic because of external pressure, the influence of negative emotions, and his yearning for strength, status, good life, wonderful enjoyment, etc., now it is completely thorough The bottom, the decision from the heart.
John said with a smile: "Travel around the mainland? Oh, Lucian, although the dark creatures and Warcraft have been almost extinct by the church in the mainland countries to the east of the Principality, the wild is still unsafe. Those dogheads, goblins, and wolfmen, Like a mouse, they can give birth, and they will be killed. It won't be long before a group can emerge. I am afraid that you cannot travel alone. "
"Dogman, goblin, wolfman, er, can you eat?" Lucien asked subconsciously, and the first thought of destroying this kind of fast-growing creature was to eat.
John was a little baffled and couldn't understand Lucien's thinking: "Should ... not."
"Never mind," Lucian said slightly disappointed.
John did n’t ask much. He also looked up at the sapphire sky and said hopefully: "If I can become a formal knight, I will also tour the mainland. I do n’t know what it would look like outside Aalto. Is it like Those bards are just as wonderful. "
对 "Well, Lucian, you have to be careful lately, try not to go outside the city or a quiet place, those villains are real scum."
"Well, John, when you see Sir Wayne, you must take the initiative and ask for punishment today." Lucian told John.
John was strange first, then nodded heavily: "Okay. Hey, unfortunately, I can learn some military-related words after I become a high-level knight attendant, otherwise I can teach you."
The two of them were in a happy mood, talking one sentence at a time, and they did not stand up until they recovered their strength and walked to the house of Elisa.
Uh ...
Alisa had gone to the administrative district to find Joel back, and was walking anxiously back and forth, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she finally saw John and Lucian come back and laugh side by side.
Joel opened her arms with a grin: "Welcome our two heroes home, you remind me of a **** youth."
John and Joel hugged: "Dad, you have to be careful these days, I'm worried that those villains are doing bad things behind their backs."
"This kind of villain is actually the most timid. You stabbed them fiercely, but they dare not do anything." Joel smiled, and then his face became serious. "In fact, you should first ask Victoria Sir, you are his servant, and every move you make is related to his decentness and glory. "
John also knew that he had done too much wrong: "Yes, Dad, when I return to the manor, I will ask the Jazz for punishment." He was initially worried that Sir Wayne would not agree.
Alyssa took out a clean old cloth on one side and bandaged Lucian.
After a while, Lucien saw nothing, so she stood up and said goodbye, ready to go to the Copper Crown Tavern an hour before lunch, and borrow money from usury merchants to collect five silver narres. important things.
"If I can learn magic smoothly, repaying usury should not be a problem. If not, it will be more dangerous, but nothing will be harvested and not risky."
The consequences of borrowing usury, Lucian is ready to bear.
"Little Evans, wait." Joel suddenly called Lucian.
Balussian turned around in confusion: "Uncle Joel, what else?"
Joel took out a very old and plain money bag and handed it to Lucien: "This is eight silver nars, you take it."
"Uncle Joel, Alissa, you guys?" Lucian was at a loss, and in his heart, he always felt that Uncle Joel's family should be as poor as himself, and that Ivan hadn't grown up, so he never considered it. Possibility to borrow money from them.
Elisa, who was aside, smiled, "Little Evans, your Uncle Joel doesn't have much money. These have only been picked up in the last two years. Although not much, it should be able to get you started learning Chinese."
"But this is all your savings ..." Lucian felt a bit sour in his eyes.
Joel haha laughed and patted Lucian on the shoulder: "Because of little John, we had a hard time, and your father often helped us. When you learn the text, you can find decent and well-paid jobs, Wouldn't it be returned to us? Or you worry that you can't learn to write? "
"I'm confident, Uncle Joel." Lucian nodded heavily.
"Although this money, plus your own, can only allow you to learn for two months, we all work together to ensure that at least you can learn Chinese for one month after three or four months. So, Lucian, yourself It's up to you to work hard and learn as much as you can. "Joel's words are considered to be Lucian's study of writing, as a matter of his own family.
Lucian's eyes were a bit fuzzy: "Thank you, Uncle Joel, Alissa, John." At the same time, he made a secret decision to make Uncle Joel's family better, and leave as soon as possible after mastering some magic. Aalto, let them not be involved in such dangerous things.
When I left Eliza's house, although Lucian's destination was still the Bronze Crown Tavern, he was not looking for loans, but for scholars and text.
