Wearing thin black-rimmed glasses, his long black hair was tied casually into a ponytail, and he wore an unbuttoned black coat over a simple and unadorned white vest. This handsome young man in his twenties was dressed like a waiter in a tavern.
Although he was ordinary, he still couldn't hide the nobility in him.
Because the hotel owner accidentally saw his suitcase.
He could tell that the black and simple suitcase was handmade by Su Ze. With the blessing of magical alchemy, this suitcase could effectively reduce the weight of the things inside. The dark flowers on it were popular in the era of beheaded men.
Not many of them are still in such good condition.
As an alchemy item, it can be sold for a sky-high price of more than three hundred gold coins just because of its complicated and beautiful patterns. The boss used to live near the old mayor and was lucky enough to see a fake of it once.
I heard that the old mayor made a mistake while picking it up. After getting it, he found that the pattern and era were correct, but there was no open seam. Compared with a huge brick, the pattern was different.
.And it doesn’t seem to have any weight-reducing function. With its weight, even if nothing is placed inside, it would still require at least the strength of a formal warrior to lift it.
So the old mayor had no choice but to put it on a sealed shelf and offer it as a decoration.
The boss remembered that even the head guard, who was as strong as an ox, needed both hands to lift the box. But this slender boy seemed to be able to lift the box with three hands more easily than carrying an empty wooden box.
He lifted the box with just his fingers.
——In other words, this is the real thing.
A man who could carry a box worth three hundred gold coins all over the place - the innkeeper could not imagine what was in the box, nor could he imagine how noble this young man's status was, so he could only nod and bow with his most humble attitude.
Pay him the highest respect: "What would you like?"
“One of the best rooms.”
Without hesitation, the young man threw a gold coin to the hotel owner.
"No, no, no! It can't be used, it can't be used!"
If it were another customer, the boss would definitely keep the gold coin and would never give him a copper. If the customer asked, he would also say that the rest was a tip - even if the tip was smaller than the official tip.
Sales may be dozens of times more.
But the boss didn't dare to do this to the person in front of him.
It's not that he's worried about his own safety - he knows that with such a noble status, he never lacks gold coins in his sleeves, and he won't lower his status to cause trouble for him just because of a gold coin.
He actually wants more.
For example, a knighthood, and a knight's estate.
He knows that noble masters can be promoted to become knights. That is a knight - just as majestic as Master Will!
Moreover, Master Will is just a knight without a fief, and he is so majestic in the town that his nostrils are in the sky!
Also, I heard that some big nobles can turn common people into noble lords... I heard that Su Ze's royal family all have black hair... If...
The boss was so excited that he almost didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He was afraid that his expression would reveal his intentions.
I saw the noble young man thinking sadly for a moment, as if he was thinking about where else to spend money.
He didn't dare recommend the food in his hotel - it would have to be given away as a gift. If you were fussy about everything in a small place like this, it would inevitably leave the impression of being stingy.
"Then... with the remaining money, let's buy a set of regular clothes for my sister. She has a similar figure to me. She wants black clothes."
The young man said with a smile, stretched out his fingers and swung the suitcase, turning it in a circle between his fingers.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely buy you the best! The most beautiful clothes!"
The boss's eyes were attracted by the suitcase for a moment, and he immediately nodded and handed the gold coins in his hand to the clerk.
But at this moment he heard the young man say: "When winter is over, boss, if you have time, come to Su Ze's Toyatamis, and then hand this gold coin to my butler. I'll treat you to dinner, Su Ze's
Specialty food.”
The young man scratched his head in embarrassment: "I didn't bring many gold coins with me when I went out this time. I didn't expect that things in Kalal are so expensive, and I don't have many gold coins on hand...Boss, you are such a good person. By the way, you don't need to buy too many clothes."
Okay, one or two gold coins will be enough."
Listen! I don’t have many gold coins on hand—does he always bring gold coins when he goes out?
Also, why "Karal prices are so expensive"... The boss instantly guessed that his colleagues must have failed to recognize this man's identity and slaughtered him as an ordinary fat sheep.
Thank you for your stupidity in sending this gift to me!
However, clothes with one or two gold coins... Hearing this, the boss's heart twitched.
Two gold coins! That was his net profit for nearly three months.
The boss couldn't bear to let go of the fat and couldn't keep Bai Wu - the boss felt cruel and decided to spend all his savings and use five gold coins to buy the best clothes that could be bought in Lamu. Anyway, when the winter is over, every time he spends
A single gold coin will be repaid hundreds or thousands of times. He can see that this noble young man is very kind, has a gentle personality, and is even a little cowardly.
Such a person is quite easy to bully. If you kneel down to beg, or even roll around and kowtow, you probably won't be reluctant to give yourself a knighthood, right? Even if there is no fiefdom...
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the gold coins on hand.
The weight is heavier than ordinary gold coins - which means that the gold content is higher and more valuable. There is no gold leaf flower pattern on the Karal gold coins, but a strange leaf is painted on it - it seems to be the leaf of a wing tree.
Is this Su Ze's gold coin? The boss, who has never been abroad, looked at it carefully as a rare thing.
He didn't dare to bite it, but carefully put it away with a handkerchief, and then personally led the noble young man to the most expensive guest room.
After the hotel owner respectfully closed the door, the aristocratic young man's gentle smile with a hint of innocence suddenly became meaningful.
He took off his glasses, and without the cover of the glasses, his eyes, as deep as the abyss, appeared again.
It's Roland.
"I didn't expect the mayor's family to be so poor...or is it that his servants moved too much?"
Roland chuckled.
Apart from the fact that the uniform he had on him, which the mayor's son had ordered for him not long before the mayor's death, and which he had not yet had time to wear, was worth some money, he also found the suitcase that the servant could not move - apart from that, not to mention
Roland didn't even find half a copper coin.
However, this suitcase is really a good thing. It is a surprise that Roland found this thing in the mayor's house. This thing is the work of Master Aristotle. The alchemy circle inside can offset three hundred pounds when activated.
the weight of.
If it were to be auctioned, it would only be a matter of where to auction it if the price was one thousand gold. This box alone would be enough for Roland to buy a hereditary title in any country.
The reason why this box failed to function at all in the mayor's hands was simply because the magic power was not enough.
Alchemy products are notorious for consuming magic power. No matter how cleverly Master Aristotle's magic power cycle is designed, it will be completely consumed in nearly sixty years.
Roland could guess with his elbow that the mayor's method of obtaining this thing was absolutely shady, so much so that he didn't even dare to take the box to ask an expert.
After all, the mana consumption of alchemical products is relative to that of demonized items - with the energy savings of Roland's mere formal level Ashes, only half of the natural energy is enough to drive this item to operate normally for a year.
After recharging, Roland was naturally able to open the locked box.
But what disappoints Roland is that apart from a heavy black stone slab, there are only countless ghost coins...
These cute little golden objects do not contain gold at all. They are gold coin symbols made by sawing the metallic trunk of the wing tree into coin-sized pieces and then painting it with golden paint. Even the gold
The paint doesn't contain any gold at all.
Because some wizards' witchcraft requires the use of large amounts of gold coins, in order to prevent the collapse of the entire world's financial system due to the disappearance of large amounts of rare metals, some wizards have developed substitutes for gold coins.
In order to prevent anyone from being deceived, the back of the gold coin is specially decorated with the leaves of the wing tree as a logo; there is also a witty saying "You can bite it and see" written in five languages on the front.
As soon as you take a bite, the strong smell of paint and wood residue will give it away, no matter how much it feels like a gold coin.
That is a fake gold coin processed from wing trees. It can also be used as a magic material, and it is much cheaper than gold coins.
A ten-year-old wing tree can produce tens of thousands of such gold coins. On average, one such gold coin is only worth two copper coins at most - more than half of which is labor cost. After all, the wing tree is very hard.
People point their fingers.
This extremely cheap gold coin is jokingly called a ghost coin by players. However, some people use this thing to deceive people in Kalal, where wizards are rarely seen, and the success rate is very high for a long time - except for the occasional ones who are caught.
The businessman was reported as a wizard who came to defraud money and was wanted...
Roland poured out half of the Hades Coins, found a random lake and sank them in. Then he put his black robe into the suitcase, put on the mayor's uniform that unexpectedly fit well, and went there.
The most luxurious hotel in Lamu.
After entering his room, Roland took out a bottle of red oily liquid with a faint golden light from his suitcase, and poured it on the bed and every corner of the room.
Suddenly, a scent of pepper and mint filled the entire room.
Those were the bottles of alchemical fuel that Roland found from the mayor's fireplace - this was a failure of Su Ze's alchemists when they made highly concentrated solid fuel. Although it cannot be stored stably, its performance is better than that of ordinary alchemical fire.
It is much more stable, has lost the pungent smell of alchemical fire, and is cheap enough to be used as a substitute for civilian fuel.
About this bottle is enough to keep the fire burning for a whole winter, and the price is only two silver coins, which is not expensive. Therefore, the servants who almost robbed things from the mayor's house did not like this thing.
Although it is not expensive, most people still won't use this thing. After all, the fuel that is enough for heating for one winter is only one silver coin at most. But compared with the price of those two silver coins, civilians are more inclined to endure the burning of dead branches.
Smoke - For them, a silver coin can do a lot of things.
Roland had just poured the fuel all over the room when there was a knock on the door.
"Sir, your clothes."
Unlike the boss's voice, it was a pleasant and brisk female voice.
Has it been delivered to your door?
Roland didn't even bother to put away the bottle. He just went into the inner room and continued to pour oil while shouting lazily: "The door is unlocked. Just come in and put down your clothes."
"OK."
The people outside responded obediently. Immediately afterwards, the sound of the door being opened was heard, and within five or six seconds, the sound of the door being closed was heard.
Roland came out of the inner room and put the clothes on the table into the suitcase without even looking.
Then he threw the bottle and the last bit of oil inside into the fireplace. Then the flames in the fireplace instantly grew in size, and Roland could feel the scorching heat even standing two meters away.
Under the high temperature, the carpet closest to the fireplace began to slowly burn.
The burning carpet will burn quietly and slowly until it comes into contact with the next ball of alchemical oil.
In less than five minutes, the fire in this room will be unstoppable; in another fifteen minutes, the entire load-bearing structure of this wooden room will be brittle by the high temperature, and then collapse.
He had other places to go. Just a hotel that collapsed due to fire might just be regarded as an accident.
In order to make Falina aware of his existence, Roland still needs to continue to show his existence.
There are still six bottles of alchemical fuel. The flame caused by this thing will not be extinguished by water. The only person in Ram who can stop this kind of fire is Falina. With her ability, it only takes less than a moment to extinguish this kind of flame.
Zhong——If she finds the mark of truth and revenge in the mayor’s house and dares to go out.
Come on, choose.
Should we risk our lives that no one else can understand to save the entire town? Or should we save ourselves first?
A cold smile appeared on Roland's face. He immediately put on his glasses and tied his hair up casually.
There is only one correct answer.
Falina, who has been discovered by the Society of Truth, has no time to start over. She can only risk her life to save the townspeople of Ram Town - even so, all the townspeople will not understand the sacrifice she has made for this.
, and at the same time, those who were saved in the end would resent her for coming too late.
Roland walked out of the room with his suitcase, and then locked the door from the outside.
"Are you going out?"
The hotel owner came over obligingly.
"I'm going to pick up my sister and I'll be back when I get her."
Roland replied with a chuckle, and then walked downstairs without hesitation.
Of course he doesn't have a sister.
