Someone was trying to remember when exactly they got these two boxes. The earliest impression seems to be when he first returned to Wulian City, when he was the richest. At that time, the two girls were clamoring to buy some magic materials.
He also carried their elder sister out, and he agreed without any hesitation. Of course, he had no impression of what he agreed to.
It seems that this is the thing in front of me, and only then can I afford such money. Just saying...
"You have used such good materials and added so much magic to them. Why don't you think of a way to make the weight lighter so that we can move it easier?" Someone said to the Lich who had been silent.
.
"How light should it be? Just enough to make it easier for thieves to move the whole thing away." Fen pushed back directly.
...someone is speechless.
This is really a dilemma. The weight of the cash box itself is the most powerful anti-theft device. If it is too convenient, it will naturally be equally convenient for those with bad intentions.
At this time, someone suddenly remembered that on Earth, many games had the attack skill of throwing money, and the more money you threw, the greater the damage. Now think about it seriously, such a setting is really
Very scientific. I just want to say that the hurtful part is not the value of money, but the 'weight' of money, the weight in a real, physical sense.
Looking at these two boxes, someone couldn't help but feel worried. In the past, these things were eye-catching and caused a lot of trouble. So people who think money bites people try their best to transfer their income one by one to buy peace.
Unexpectedly, money not only bites people, but also crushes them to death...
For this amount, if nothing else, if it were used as a stone bomb and thrown with a trebuchet, whoever it hits would be killed. Of course, what kind of trebuchet is needed to throw an object of this weight?
Don’t think about it for now.
He let out a long sigh, deeply feeling that he had done something wrong. Lin didn't care about wasting or saving his life, and used all his weight-related magic. He sat on the horse and lowered his waist, folded his arms, and exerted his strength with his legs, and then he lifted it up.
He picked up the box and walked carefully to the borrowed warehouse downstairs.
Seeing their teacher walking away with difficulty, the two girls walked up to the lich and said doubtfully: "Well, why is the teacher moving things like this? Sister, you didn't tell the teacher that the magic on the box can be adjusted.
of."
"Well, I didn't say it? I did. Well, it seems that I really didn't say it, so just treat it as saying it, and you don't have to worry about it so much. Hurry up, move the things down.
Let's prepare dinner." Fen urged the two girls with a nonchalant look on their face.
People who were also watching the whole process had only one thought, that is, the pit is getting deeper and deeper.
In the next few days, Uzov's group of companions finally stopped. They no longer looked for some unknown nobles, mumbling about buying something.
The nobles near the golden waterway are indeed very wealthy, but compared with the traditional great nobles of the military country, they are still one level behind. To get the ship-cutting sword, it is estimated that someone at the level of the fifth duke of the military country will take action, or even the emperor.
Only by showing up in person can one have that kind of wealth and wealth.
But people of this level will not easily come into contact with people without any noble blood. Magicians without kings and countries have always been the target of nobles. If a big noble does not meet this kind of person directly, it is already at the noble level.
No matter how talented the other party is and how precious the knowledge they possess, they must be introduced by lower-level nobles. Only by going up one level can you meet the real nobles.
But... someone is now far away from the nobles at all, let alone trying to curry favor with them. Of course, for Lin, dealing with the nobles is not something that makes him feel disgusted. When he was in Wulian City,
In order to find sponsors for the college, I dragged lichs, licked my face, and went to noble banquets everywhere to visit. But being able to do it did not mean that I liked to do it or that I had to do it.
Nowadays, someone has nothing to ask for from those noble people. Since he has nothing to ask for, there is no need to deal with people from the aristocratic class, so there is no need to waste time meeting those scumbag people.
Even in the period of Wulian City, contact with nobles was not a good memory. The discrimination of those superior people was deeply rooted in their bones. No matter how beautiful they spoke verbally, it would always be revealed inadvertently.
come out.
Therefore, he declined all invitations to banquets, whether from the merchant class or the aristocratic class. While waiting for the ship, he just wandered around doing nothing every day, sometimes alone, sometimes Fen would follow him on the street. If he was on the street
I met some people on the street, and of course politely declined all invitations.
As for hiding from those people, why not go out on the streets and stay in a hotel? This is because someone still wants to try his luck and see if he can find things left by other fellow villagers. Even if it is not for the sake of the fellow villagers,
Go... I'm just kidding, that's Da Vinci. Any manuscript, signature, or used item can be taken back as a family heirloom. The importance of that portrait has been raised to the highest level by him.
There's just one thing that someone didn't think carefully about. He could use such an attitude to snub the powerful in the past because in the places where he stayed, the power of the nobles was usually not as powerful as the local magicians. This also caused the Magicians Association to
It is a loose organizational structure, but the nobles will exercise restraint in order to avoid touching unknown red lines and causing the disaster of annihilation.
But the place he is in today is within the borders of an empire, and he is still an outsider without status. Even the dogs of the Vader Military State are nobler than people in other places. This is a common belief among people in the Military State.
Not to mention those nobles with good blood and noble status. Even a viscount from the Vader military country dares to reprimand the kings of some small countries.
Even if a magician has had many seemingly incredible experiences, no matter how beautiful the beauty next to him seems to have been the devil. For people in the military country, the right thing is what the military people do, and the wrong thing is disobedience.
Everything about military people. The world has no other way to run except around themselves. Therefore, the rudeness of a certain magician is an attitude worthy of death.
However, to deal with a magician, you need to pay attention to strategy, especially when you want something in the opponent's hands. Taking it by force will only make other nobles look down on you and think that you have lost the magnanimity that a civilized person should have.
But the continuous disregard is enough to anger a noble who thinks highly of himself. Naturally, there will be less rational people who make some irrational choices.
At least, when dinner time came and the two girls who were supposed to come back to take care of everything didn't show up, no matter how slow someone was, they realized that something was wrong.
Ever since the girls came to us more than ten years ago, they have never put down what they should do. They play outside until they are too happy and miss meals. Maybe it is because of their insecurity. They are afraid that they will be deemed useless. , will be ruthlessly abandoned. So in someone's impression, he only dislikes the two girls for taking too much care, and has no chance to complain about them not doing anything.
Are you afraid to come back because you haven't caught any prey for dinner?
This happened to them when they were young. But as they grew older, their hunting skills became much better. As a second-level magic apprentice, if he couldn't hunt an edible small animal, he could kill himself. Throw away your wand and either hang yourself or go home to farm. Unless your luck is really that bad, except for the master and apprentice, there are no other living creatures in the surrounding area.
But no matter how unlucky you are, you are still in the wild! Where is this? The river port city of Jasfan City! Creatures in the Lost Land have a deep-rooted territorial concept, and their normal lives rarely come close to the human living circle. Therefore, As long as you stay in the city and want to hunt small animals to eat, you will probably only find mice in the ditch.
However, in the city, where there is no war, no one is targeting you, and you are not short of money, it would be a joke to starve to death.
So they were delayed because they needed to buy fresh ingredients?
For food, even in the city, there is only a morning market in Midland, and there is no 24-hour supermarket. You can find a place that provides dinner at dusk, but if it is really too late, the girls can't He should rush back and explain to the hotel before asking the hotel to prepare dinner. Someone will not be angry over such a trivial matter. Instead of being like now, not even a person can be seen.
Have you really gone too far? Or...
We had some casual dinner and spent the whole night speechless. Of course, the two wild girls were nowhere to be seen.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door.
"Lord Tripwood." Uzov's companion, the noblewoman, knocked on the door of someone and the lich's room.
After Lin opened the door, he looked at the pretty aristocratic woman with a somewhat wild demeanor and said, "What's the matter?"
"There is a guest who wishes to meet you." When she said this, she was a little anxious. Then she explained hurriedly: "I know that you don't want to continue to waste time on the issue of buying and selling ship-cutting knives. But come to visit. That guest, he has guaranteed that he is not here for business, and he is unwilling to disclose the purpose of his visit. He only strongly requests to see you. And..."
"And what?"
"He said something that you don't want to meet, and you will definitely regret it later." After the noble woman conveyed these words, she already regretted it. But behind the visiting envoy, her family network can be traced back to the level of the Five Dukes. It was not something she could refuse easily, so she had to bite the bullet and come.
Lin laughed. In the past few days, this was probably the first nobleman to speak harshly. Before, whether it was an envoy or the nobleman himself, speaking rudely or not, it was just a lingering arrogance. That's all, they still care about appearances. But this new guy doesn't seem to be like that. "Is he in the hall? I'll go see him and see what he wants to say."
