Someone tried hard to remember when exactly these two boxes came into existence. The earliest impression seems to be when I first returned to Wulian City, which was also the time when I was richest. At that time, the two girls were clamoring to buy some magic materials, and even carried their elder sister out. They agreed without thinking, and of course they had no impression of what they 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 easy for a thief 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 moment, someone suddenly remembered that back 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, this setting is really very scientific. I'm just saying that the hurtful part is not the value of the money, but the 'weight' of the money, the real, physical weight.
Looking at these two boxes, someone couldn't help but feel worried. In the past, we got into a lot of trouble because of the eye-catching sight of these things. So those who think money bites people, try to transfer their income one by one to buy peace. Unexpectedly, money not only bites people, but also crushes them to death...
Just this amount, if nothing else, if it were used as a stone bomb and thrown out with a trebuchet, whoever it hit would be killed. Of course, let’s not think about what kind of trebuchet is needed to throw an object of this weight.
He let out a long sigh, feeling deeply that he had done something wrong. Not caring about wasting or saving his life, Lin used all his weight-related magic. Sitting on the horse, he lowered his waist, folded his hands, and stretched his legs, then 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, didn't I 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. Come on, hurry up, move the things down, Let's prepare dinner." Fen urged the two girls with a nonchalant expression.
People who were also watching the whole process had only one thought, that is, there is another pit that is deeper.
In the next few days, Uzov's group of companions finally stopped. No more looking for some ignorant nobles, mumbling about what they want to buy.
It is true that the nobles near the Golden Waterway are very wealthy, but compared with the traditional nobles of the military country, they are still one level behind. To get the ship-cutting sword, it would probably take someone at the level of the fifth Duke of the Military Kingdom, or even the emperor himself, to have that wealth and wealth.
But people of this level would not easily come into contact with people without any noble blood. Magicians who have no king or country have always been targeted by nobles. It is the consensus of people at the aristocratic level not to meet such people directly. No matter how talented the other party is and how precious the knowledge they hold, they must be introduced by lower-level nobles. Only by going up one level can you meet the real nobles.
But... someone is far away from the nobles at all, let alone trying to curry favor with them. Of course, for Lin, there was nothing disgusting about dealing with nobles. When he was in Wulian City, in order to find sponsors for the college, he dragged lichs along, licked his face, and visited noble banquets everywhere. But being able to do it doesn’t mean you like to do it or have to do it.
Someone now wants nothing from those noble people. Since there is nothing to seek, 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 during the Five-United City period, contact with nobles was not a good memory. The discrimination of those superior people is deeply rooted in their bones. No matter how beautifully they speak verbally, it will always come out inadvertently.
Therefore, he declined all invitations to banquets, whether they were from the merchant class or the aristocratic class. While waiting for the boat, he just wandered around doing nothing every day, sometimes alone, sometimes Fen would follow him on the street. If you meet someone by chance on the street, of course you politely decline all invitations.
As for hiding from those people, why not just stay in the hotel instead of going out on the streets? This is because someone still wants to try his luck and see if he can find something left by other fellow villagers. Even if you don't look at the face of your fellow countrymen...just kidding, it'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. The reason why he was able to snub the powerful with that attitude in the past was because in the places where he stayed, the power of the nobles was usually not as good as the power of the local magicians. This also resulted in the fact that although the Magicians Association has a loose organizational structure, the nobles would exercise restraint in order to avoid touching unknown red lines and causing the disaster of annihilation.
But where he is today is within the borders of an empire, and he is still an outsider without status. Even the dogs of the Vida Military State are nobler than people in other places. This is a common perception 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 dared to reprimand the kings of some small countries.
Even if a certain magician has had many seemingly incredible experiences, it doesn't matter that the beauty next to him seems to have been the devil. For people in the military state, the right things are what the people in the military state do, and the wrong things are all the things that the people in the military state do not obey. The world has no other way of functioning except as it revolves around itself. Therefore, the rudeness of a certain magician is an attitude worthy of death.
However, you need to be strategic when dealing with a magician, especially when you want something the other person has. Obvious plundering will only make other nobles look down on themselves and think that they have lost the magnanimity that a civilized person should have. But the successive disregards were enough to anger a noble who thought highly of himself. Naturally, there will be less rational people who will 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 given up on what they should do. They played outside until they were too happy to miss school, and then missed their meals. Maybe it's insecurity, they are afraid that when they are no longer useful, they will be ruthlessly abandoned. So in someone's impression, he only disliked the two girls for taking too much care, and had 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 I get older, my hunting skills become much better. As a second-level magic apprentice who cannot hunt an edible small animal, he can throw away his wand and hang himself. Go home and farm. Unless the luck is really that bad, except for the master and apprentice, there are no other living creatures within the radius.
But no matter how bad your luck is, you are still in the wild! Where is this place? The river port city Jasfan City! Creatures in the Lost Lands have a deep-rooted territorial concept, and their normal lives rarely come close to the human living circle. So 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, starving to death is really a joke.
So they were delayed because they had to buy fresh ingredients?
When it comes to food, even in the city, there is only a morning market in Midi, not a 24-hour supermarket. It is possible to find a place that provides dinner at dusk, but if it is really too late, the girls will probably come back and explain to the hotel before asking the hotel to prepare dinner. Someone wouldn't get angry over something as trivial as this. Instead of like now, not even a person can be seen.
Have you really gone too far? still……
I had some dinner casually and was speechless all night. 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 noble daughter, 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." She was a little anxious when she said this. Then he hurriedly explained: "I know that you don't want to waste time on the issue of buying and selling ship-cutting knives. But the visiting guest has guaranteed that he is not here for buying and selling, and he does not want to reveal his purpose. I only have a strong request 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, his family network could reach the level of the Fifth Duke. She was not someone she could easily refuse, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and come.
Lin chuckled. In the past few days, this was probably the first nobleman to speak harshly. In the past, whether it was an envoy or a noble who came in person, speaking rudely or not, it was just a lingering arrogance, and they still cared about superficial skills. 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."
