Chapter 40 Cents

Chapter 40: Divide Money

Since Mr. Morsant went out, Albert naturally went out with him, but Claude felt a little strange. It seemed that Albert had done something wrong and was avoiding his own thoughts. How could this guy?

Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?

Claude had no time to pay attention to this guy. He was really hungry. When he came back in the morning, he slept on the boat for more than two hours and missed lunch. After returning to town, he fell asleep again and slept all the time when he got home.

At night, I felt very hungry.

After quickly wiping away the remaining food on the table, Claude felt seventy percent full. At this moment, he remembered that he had not looked carefully at the jade box of Master Landers he had brought back in his backpack.

Suddenly, I felt as if I had been scratched by a cat. I hurriedly cleared the table, sent all the tableware to the kitchen for my sister to clean, and touched my sister's head. I didn't notice the hesitation on my sister's face at all.

With an expression on his face, he hurried back to his attic.

Pulling the backpack out from under the bed and untying the tether, a smell came out.

"Bah, bah..." Claude pinched his nose and took out the stained clothes and pants that rolled in the mud when fighting the boa constrictor from his backpack, threw them on the ground, and then carefully removed them from the backpack.

Take out the bright white jade box from the bottom.

What surprised Claude was that the surface of this jade box was still smooth and white, and the dirty clothes and pants stuffed on it did not leave any stain on its appearance. But considering that it belongs to a magician,

Claude didn't take it seriously either. Probably this jade box should also be a magic item.

However, as a time traveler, this jade box is really the most similar thing to jade from the previous life that he has seen. As a Chinese, I understand the meaning of the word jade very well. But after traveling to this different world, I worked hard to learn new words.

Later, the travelers were surprised to find that there was no word for jade in the Hebraic language. Jade like those mined from rocks has a special name in this world, called stone spirit.

In the continent of Farea, these stone spirits mined from stones are called the essence of the earth and are precious magic materials. But since the evil magicians were driven out of the continent hundreds of years ago, these stone spirits have

It became a precious gemstone, carved into various ornaments and jewelry, and became a favorite of ladies and gentlemen.

This should be the finest mutton-fat white jade... Claude played with this jade, oh, it's a stone essence box. In his previous life, under the leadership of the boss, he also had a certain understanding of these jade stones, because he also needs to show his talents when picking up girls.

Hezhi. Shi Jing, this name is really unpleasant, not as elegant as Jade at all...

After complaining about the name Stone Spirit, Claude opened the box again.

Two diaries, how many years have they been written? One diary is as thick as a dictionary, and the paper is as thin as a cicada, translucent, and full of small words. Fortunately, although it is still in ancient Hertzian language

text, but at least he did not hide the diary like the recipe, otherwise Claude would be worried that he would exhaust his energy and become an idiot by copying the diary...

There is also a magic notebook that is said to be a magic notebook. This is what Claude needs most. He hopes to learn the secrets of magic and even learn magic from this magic notebook...

This magic notebook is as big as two diaries, but not as thick as a diary. It only has about thirty or forty pages. It is also the very thin paper of a diary. It is translucent and has some skin film. If you pull it, there will be some.

Elastic and not easy to tear.

The only thing left in the box was the brown-yellow deerskin money bag, which also contained thirty Sullivan gold coins. Claude looked carefully at each one, but unfortunately, he did not find the dark yellow magic Sullivan gold coins.

The original owner, Master Landers, was in a bad situation. He didn't even have magic Sullivan gold coins. They were all generic goods.

Claude was thinking irresponsibly. He forgot that Master Landers was just a low-level rune mage with the fourth ring. It was already very difficult to save these thirty-five Sullivan gold coins. How could he be qualified to choose?

Three picks and fours.

It's just that these thirty gold coins are worthless in Claude's hands, because he has no way to cash them in, so now these thirty gold coins can only be used as a reward item in his hands, and he has to avoid being discovered.

, I think I can only keep it for a few years to see if there is a chance.

Claude was too lazy to translate the two diaries as thick as dictionaries immediately even without using his mental strength. People are always like this. They were worried before they got it, but they found it boring after they got it. The same is true for Claude now. He has experienced life and death fights.

After the treasure hunting trip, he was no longer so curious about these two diaries. He thought they were just recording every detail of Master Landers' daily life. He didn't want to write a biography for Master Landers, so why did he translate the diaries?



After just not wanting to translate these two diaries, Claude found that he suddenly lost interest in the magic notebook. He flipped through it and found some crudely drawn patterns, with large paragraphs of text next to them, and above the patterns.

It was marked with many strange symbols that Claude didn't recognize. If you look closely at the patterns, you can identify what these are probably drawings of something or an object.

Damn, this design is too abstract. If he hadn’t been exposed to matchlocks in the past two days, Claude would definitely think that the drawing on this drawing is a cannon. What gun’s barrel would be drawn to look like a cannon?

Generally thick and short? If it weren't for the matchlock hammer, matchlock clamping handle, matchlock sleeve, hammer spring, medicine box, plate cover, primer door and trigger, then Claude might have really misunderstood that one.

Wizard Landers is making cannons...

Thinking of the diary hidden in the magic recipe book that records that Master Landers improved the matchlock gun, then the barrel-like thing drawn in the magic notebook must be the improvement plan for the matchlock gun. After all, there should be something in it.

Claude had already seen all these things on Verricro's old-fashioned Galley III matchlock gun, and it was roughly the same. Five or six hundred years later, this matchlock gun was still a matchlock gun, and there was no improvement...



Claude felt uninterested and suddenly didn't want to look through this magic notebook. He stood up and walked around the attic a few times. The pile of old clothes thrown on the floor caught his attention. By the way, they haven't been washed properly yet.

Take a bath to cleanse your body. But before going downstairs, you have to hide the jade, oh no, the stone essence box and the bag of Sullivan gold coins. As for the two diaries and magic notes on the table, you can be generous.

Leave it square, no one in the family is interested in the ancient Hertzian language.

After thinking for a long time, Claude decided to hide the gold coins and the stone essence box at the bottom of the bed. There was really no place to put them, and it felt unsafe to put them anywhere. Only then did Claude realize that living in the attic also has such a disadvantage.

, it is impossible to dig up the ground to hide treasures. There is a wooden floor below, which is impossible to dig out, and there is a roof above, and there is no place to hide anything, that is, it is hidden under the bed. But generally no one will come up to your attic.

Even my younger sister and younger brother would not come up to cause trouble when I was not around...

I went downstairs first, soaked the clothes in a big wooden basin, and told my mother tomorrow to find a washerwoman to wash them. It doesn’t cost much to clean this set of clothes, two or three sunars will be enough. Then on the second day

Upstairs, I was surprised to find that Albert was not here, and I wonder if he went to drink again. It was better not to be there, Claude whistled and took a happy bath, and then returned to the attic.

Feeling a little depressed, and not knowing why, Claude simply climbed up to the roof again, bathing in the silver moonlight and dazed. Ever since he spent all his energy copying the diary in the recipe some time ago, Claude has developed the habit of sunbathing.

The habit of moonlight. Only in the moonlight, he will feel peaceful and comfortable...

After staying on the roof for an unknown amount of time, he finally felt sleepy. Claude climbed back to the attic, cleared the table, and fell asleep on the bed.

In the morning, the bell of the Temple of War rang again before Claude got up from his sleep. He washed up and went downstairs to have breakfast as usual. Albert was already in the restaurant, but he ate in a hurry and left in a hurry.

.Father said that Sir Fox had returned from the county town, so he, the personal secretary, had to rush to Sir Fox early and obey his orders.

Classes were as usual today, and I still had to take my schoolbags to school. When I walked out of the house, I saw three friends waiting in the fruit shop opposite. Each of them had a boiled apple and was gnawing on it.

"Another boiled apple." Bockard said to Claude: "Yours."

Claude took the boiled apple and watched Boker pay three pfennigs. The four of them walked to school while eating the boiled apple.

"I heard that you stole the show at the dock yesterday afternoon?" Claude said.

"How did you know?" Bockaar asked.

"My father told me last night," Claude replied.

"Do you know how many people were watching yesterday afternoon? Almost everyone in the town came..." Erikson was very excited when he mentioned what happened yesterday afternoon. It was obvious that he enjoyed the glory that attracted so much attention: "We brought you

The skin of the killed python was placed on the pier, and everyone who saw it screamed, and several children were frightened and cried..."

"Don't worry, Claude, we told those people as you said. We found this big python when we were hunting mountain antelope. It was so full that it couldn't move, so we shot it in the head and killed it."

, the gun hole on the snake's head has proven our statement. No one knows that you killed this big python on the underground level of the ruins." Viricero said in a low voice next to him.

"Well, thank you. It's best not to let anyone know that we went to the ruins." Claude breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to cause any more trouble in the family. If Mr. Morsan knew that he and his friends were going to the ruins of the Magic Tower in Bailuzhou,

If you take risks, you will definitely scold him, and even punish him not to hang out with his friends anymore, instead of letting him go gently like last night.

"No, I told those people that it is at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the lake and the swamp on the lakeshore. It is normal for pythons to appear in the swamp, but ours is a bit too big." Verricro said.

"Have everything been sold?" Claude looked at Bockaar.

"They were all sold, for a total of seventeen silver thalers and eight riyals."

"How can it sell so much?" Claude was shocked.

"Haha, I was doing an on-site auction, and those people raised the price one after another, so I sold it at a good price." Bockaar was very proud. If he hadn't seen so many shopkeepers coming and asking about the price that he had the idea to do the on-site auction, etc.

If you take python skins and mountain deer skins to the store for sale in two days, these shopkeepers will definitely lower the price.

"The python skin was sold for six silver thalers and three riyals. It was bought by Hans, the owner of the weapons store..."

"Let me go, why is Big Hans buying python skin? Why is he joining in the fun?" Claude was stunned.

"Don't you know? Big Hans said that this python skin is the best choice for making sword sheaths. He was preparing to make a batch of high-end swords, so he paid a high price, which was a silver pagoda higher than the price paid by Gilp's leather goods shop.

Le." Erikson said.

"The python tendon was taken by Vakuli. He paid three silver thalers and four riyals. Two mountain antelope skins were also packaged and given to him at the price of six riyals. He paid a total of four silver riyals.

The taller mountain deer hide was bought by Sister Mila from the tailor shop for two silver thalers and seven riaso. The Gilp leather goods shop got nothing, and it was a big loss."

This is true. As the largest fur buyer in the town, I didn't buy python skins or mountain deer skins, and I didn't even get a damaged mountain antelope skin. So many people were watching. As soon as the news came out, Gilp Fur Products

The store really has no qualifications to be called the number one fur goods buyer in Bailu Town anymore.

"And the black tiger fish was bought by the tavern's chef Pied, who gave him two silver thalers. The python's eyes and gallbladder were also given by the pharmacy for two silver thalers and eight riyals.

Collect it, and I asked them to prepare a bottle of antidote, which will just make up for the bottle you drank."

Bockal is really very organized in handling finances: "I calculated that each of us can get four silver tales, four riyals and five sunars..."

"Then let's deduct the one silver thaler and three riaso I owe, and give me the rest." Claude thought for a moment and said, "Let's not eat at school for lunch, let's go to town to eat."

, I’m treating you. After you finish eating, come with me to the bookstore to buy some books.”
