In front of a simple little shop on a back street, Ying Tianyi knocked lightly on the old wooden door. When he saw the fat middle-aged woman in greasy clothes turning her head to look at him, she smiled and asked: "Madam,
Hello! Excuse me, do you know where Chosaburo lives?"
It's a very polite aristocratic way of asking questions. If it were anywhere else, no one would refuse to answer the question.
It's a pity that this is a messy and dirty backstreet, so politeness is out of the question.
The fat shopkeeper looked Ying Tianyi up and down, rolled his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Oh, this young master is looking for Chang Saburo, so he is really asking the right person. She lives... lives... Oh, I
Why can’t I remember it?”
The fat shopkeeper's performance was clumsy, even a bit over-the-top, but the movements made by her fat paws like pig's trotters could be understood by anyone who was not blind.
Well, she regarded Ying Tianyi as an aristocratic young master who was inexperienced in the world, and wanted to scrape some oil from him. She rubbed her fat fingers together and made her request for money extremely standard.
The warm smile on Ying Tianyi's face did not change at all. He moved his right hand slightly and asked again: "Where does Chang Sanlang live?"
This time the question was very direct, far less polite than before, but the amazing thing was that the fat shopkeeper said without hesitation: "The abandoned workshop behind Santiao Street, where all the people from their gang live!"
"Thank you for your cooperation!" Ying Tianyi smiled and nodded, withdrew his right hand holding the sword that was pressing on the fat shop owner's neck, turned around and left...
Cold sweat dripped down the fat shopkeeper's greasy face. He looked at Ying Tianyi's leaving figure, patted his fat paws on his bigger chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She never expected that the aristocratic young man with a kind face who seemed easy to bully would actually draw his sword as soon as he said it, and he would even press a bloody mark on her thick neck, which almost scared her to death.
Lobach, who was following Ying Tianyi, nodded with satisfaction at his behavior of threatening the fat shop owner with a smile.
Different methods should be used for different people. Kindness is reserved for good people, not wasted randomly.
This man is very good, even better than she imagined, and she is very satisfied!
The streets are filthy, all kinds of garbage can be seen everywhere, and the smell of the air has naturally deteriorated greatly.
From time to time, you can see homeless people squatting on the ground doing nothing, young gangsters, and even aunt-level street ladies. They run out to pick up customers in the morning. This kind of professionalism is very admirable.
Ying Tianyi is not a philanthropist, and he is not even a good person. Naturally, he will not pity these people who live one day at a time. If Lobach's ghost hands were not very intimidating, it is estimated that he, a young aristocratic young man with a tender skin and a lot of meat, would
He had been torn apart long ago by those little bastards with green eyes.
"Hey, warrior, this way, this way!" Just after walking down a street and passing a dirty alley, Ying Tianyi suddenly heard a high-pitched and hoarse voice, which seemed to be calling him in the alley.
Turning his head curiously, Ying Tian was delighted when he found the person who made the sound.
What do you think he saw?
It turned out to be a neatly dressed green-skinned old Goblin with a white beard, a top hat and glasses, hiding in the corner and waving to him.
There is absolutely no other Goblin like this in the entire Arad continent. It is smart, stingy, but also very trustworthy. It uses its weak body and smart brain to blend in human society, and its business talents are even
Beyond many humans.
He is the goblin merchant Sherlock Greender who is not very eye-catching in the DNF game, but almost everyone remembers him.
Ying Tianyi didn't expect Sherlock to have such a keen sense of business. He had just stepped into the back street when he was approached by this cunning old goblin.
Perhaps it was a prank by the gods that allowed the ignorant Goblin tribe to give birth to a monster like Sherlock, who is smarter than humans. But it is also very pitiful. Instead of being recognized by its peers, its smart mind is favored by brothers who value strength.
Brin despised him, and finally had no choice but to escape from the tribe and blend into human society.
To be honest, Ying Tianyi does not discriminate against Sherlock, he even finds it pleasing to the eye, more pleasing to the eye than humans.
The reason is very simple. Ying Tianyi, who has a twisted mind, has strong tastes. If a monster beauty and a human beauty are placed in front of him, he will definitely choose the monster. So from an inner point of view, he is very happy to make friends with monsters.
Instead, they don’t want to contact more humans.
To be fair, Ying Tianyi is also a freak among humans, and can be simply called a "pervert"!
Without any hesitation, Ying Tianyi walked into the dirty alley until he walked up to Sherlock. He felt like an old friend for many years, without any sense of strangeness. He smiled and said, "Sherlock, I didn't expect that I just came to Hutton."
Mal has just met you. Why, are you looking at my neat clothes and preparing to sell me some treasures you found in the trash?"
"Uh..." Sherlock was dumbfounded without any surprise. He didn't expect that the human aristocratic young man in front of him knew it so well. Not only did he call it by name, but he also knew what it was doing.
As a result, Sherlock, who was already timid, felt his legs weaken on the spot, fearing that Ying Tianyi had come all the way to trouble him.
Lobach, who had already raised his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, was also surprised by Ying Tianyi's reaction.
Talking and laughing with an old goblin, what is going on?
Because he met his old friend in the game, Ying Tianyi was in a good mood. He raised his hand to signal Lobach not to be nervous, and touched her face. Then he squatted in front of Sherlock with a smile, stretched out his hand, and said, "Take it out."
Let me see what treasure you are going to use to defraud me of my money!"
Sherlock was almost scared to death. He regretted being so mean and insisted on calling out this terrible guy Ying Tianyi.
That's right, it had been hiding at the entrance to the back street. As soon as Ying Tian arrived, it was targeted by it and was ready to make a fortune from this human noble young master. But it never dreamed that this
The aristocratic young master actually knew him and ate him to death with just a casual word.
"Hehe...hehe..." Fortunately, Ying Tianyi did not immediately show any malice. His eyes seemed to be very friendly, with an inexplicable joy. This made Sherlock even more confused. He laughed dryly and trembled in his two little ears.
Short-legged, he said with a grimace: "Yong... warrior, I... I don't want to deceive you, just... just..."
Seeing that Sherlock was so nervous and scared, Ying Tianyi came to his senses and realized that he had been a little rash. He patted Sherlock's thin shoulder lightly and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. To be honest.
, I know everything about you, a mysterious friend told me. I don’t have any ill intentions towards you, this smart goblin, and I even want to make friends with you. I believe that with your mind, you should
You can tell whether my words are true or false."
"Okay, relax. I have something to do today, so I can't talk to you anymore. These money are for buying you a drink." Ying Tian stuffed five yellow-orange gold coins into Sherlock's green paws and said:
"My name is Ying Tianyi. I live in the Moonlight Tavern over at the Central Square. If you encounter anything, you can come to me. If I'm not here, you can come to my sister Sosia. Just say she is my friend. She is also
Will help you!"
After speaking, Ying Tian smiled and nodded at Sherlock who was in a dazed state, turned around and left...
Looking at the five gold coins in his hand, Sherlock was really going to be stunned.
Originally, it wanted to defraud Ying Tianyi of a few silver coins, but who knew that the preset plot suddenly reversed. It did not deceive anyone, but instead made five gold coins in vain. What happened?
After sorting out the thoughts in his mind for a long time, the dumbfounded Sherlock's eyes flashed and he smiled.
"It turns out he is Sothea's younger brother. No wonder he knows me. What an interesting human being. Maybe we can really become good friends!" In a low voice, Sherlock touched the props he had prepared in his arms and found a delicate
The sword hilt turned and disappeared into the shadows of the alley.
Not long after, a shrewd Goblin businessman was selling goods to another seemingly wealthy adventurer, and something like "Shadowless Sword" could be vaguely heard...
After walking through three dirty streets, Ying Tianyi finally found the abandoned workshop that the fat shop owner mentioned.
There was a large area of messy abandoned buildings and half-collapsed work sheds. There were many unruly gangsters wandering around. It seemed that they had found the right place.
Lobach followed closely beside Ying Tianyi, his eyes wary of those gangsters, always ready to draw his sword to protect Ying Tianyi.
So far, she only knows Ying Tian's identity as the captain of the elite knights and the origins of the girls around him, but she knows nothing else.
But she didn't ask anything. She didn't care why Ying Tianyi sneaked into the Principality of Belmare, nor what his plans were in the future. She didn't even bother to care about her own affairs. She just wanted to be by Ying Tianyi's side.
, the man who accompanies and protects her...
In the abandoned workshop, Chang Saburo had long received a report from his subordinates, saying that the noble young master had arrived last night. She even knew every move that Ying Tian made as soon as he entered the backstreets.
Next to her, there was a bulging cowhide backpack containing her few luggage. She had prepared this backpack after she came back last night.
She didn't sleep well all night, so she got up before dawn and ordered her men to keep an eye on the backstreets, waiting for the person who came to find her.
The big Jonker was badly thrown by Aisha and could only lie on the bed to rest. Holio, who was wearing a metal mask, had already hid when he heard that Ying Tian was coming. This poor kid was scared out of his mind last night.
Psychological shadow.
In the spacious and clean meeting hall, only Chosaburo was sitting quietly and waiting nervously.
In the past, she went out to look for jobs, but was fired every time. No one was willing to take in her, a bad-tempered, foul-mouthed, careless female bastard, so she could only live a secretive life.
This time, it was the first time in her life that she was actively hired by someone, and the salary offered by her employer was astonishing. She was actually treated the same as the captain of the Imperial Army.
To be honest, she was very excited, very excited. She could use her own labor to support herself and still have spare money to support the poor children in the back streets. She almost jumped with joy.
It's just that she was impulsive and said something she shouldn't have said last night, which made her feel embarrassed and embarrassed to agree to it.
So, she had no choice but to use the excuse of raising her salary to delay for one night to see if the man would agree.
Although that man is very good, rich, handsome, generous, and has an incredible tolerant heart. Even the ghost swordsman is willing to marry him home. It stands to reason that if he invites me sincerely, he will definitely find him as promised. But.
Chosaburo was still very scared, nervous, and regretful, fearing that the man would be angry at her words and not come, and she would definitely be the one crying in the end.
Fortunately, the man did not break the promise and actually came. But as a result, Chosaburo became even more nervous.
She didn't know how to face that man, because she felt that she was cheap and always worrying about gains and losses, just like those little girls in love.
Forget it, if you extend your head with a knife, if you shrink your head, it will also be a knife with a knife.
Now that he is here, it means that he is very sincere in hiring me. Then give him the last test. If he passes, I will completely work for him from now on!
ps: I want to write more, but my body doesn’t allow it, so I have no choice...
